[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
I have a question about players.. it seems it *should* be simple but Android does not seem able to handle it.

Music is important to me.. so important, i am considering returning my brand new Note 2 and eating the restocking fee.

I am looking for a music player on par with iOS basic player. Before the flame war begins, hear me out.

1. Most important feature. This one is the deal breaker. (if i find this, i can forgive the rest) MUST be able to sort Genre by artist. Before you say Mixzing, I will tell you it does not. If you go to Genre, then it shows artist. If you click on the artist, it shows ALL songs by that artist.... not just the one in the genre you picked.

Why do i need this? I'll give you an example.

In iOS if someone wanted to to play, Green Day (for example). They could:

a) play ALL the Green day music by going to the artist section, or

b) they could play only their favorites by going to genre, (favorites) then Artist (green day) then all their favorites are there without the ‘not so good’ songs.

I am sure I am not the only one that likes to play ALL the music by an artist on some occasions, while only their favorites on other occasions.

Aside from doing it the way it is done in iOS as outlined above(having the Genre list break down into artists and albums) maybe another (dare I say better) way to come at it would be a filter that could be accessible from anywhere that would let you select “show only 5 star” or something. So you could play all songs by an artist by going to the artist tab; or you could play only your favorites by going to the artist tab, hitting the “filter” button, then selecting ‘show only 5 star songs’ or something to that effect. That would filter the rest out.

I told you the first one was a big one! now the rest:

2) Speaking of stars.... Android doesn't seem to support them. Sure they can be viewed and adjusted in some players... but why? You can't sort by them, set up playlists based on them, or use them in any meaningful way.

3) 30 second rewind like in iOS. Seems simple enough. Yet deceptively hard to find.

4) This is another deceptively easy one... Why does the scrubber on ALL android music players show the play-time on the right of the scrubber, and a STATIC track length on the other? Again with iOS.. iOS shows the time left on the right. Seems easy, right? good luck finding an Android one that can do it.

5) a playing "X of XX" tally. on a playlist of 6 songs, it would be like a "now playing" 4 of 6. Seems easy.

I am by no means an apple fan-boi. I did, however come from the ipod touch. So i am used to the Apple way.

The funny thing is, everyone says Android is better because there is so much choice..... I would LOVE to choose one that does the above. It doesn't seem to exist.

please help!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neckbonest:
give power amp a try. i love it and it is very customizable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
I'm sure apple has patents on all those things.

Seriously, if you were that happy with the ipod touch, just get an iphone instead of learning a new app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
2 words. tiny screen.

seriously though, i am coming up on the 2 week mark. I have 2 weeks to return it. I haven't decided to do that yet, i posted here as a last ditch effort to find what i am looking for. I love the note 2.. .but if i am going to continue to carry an ipod, what is the point?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FMXP:
Poweramp and you're done.

You're welcome. Now get the dsp pack on you're own, figure it out and enjoy! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
Thank you so much for the quick replies. I love this forum! very active..

Thanks for the link to PlayerPro. I actually already had that one. It doesn't do the main thing i want of a player though. There is no way to filter results of Genre by Artist. Unless i am doing it wrong. Can you advise on that? (see item 1 on my list in original post for a better elaboration of what i mean)

Still playing with poweramp... it is VERY close! love it so far, thanks for the tip guys.

Maybe someone can clarify to make it do EXACTLY what i am looking for.... When i go to Library at the bottom, I choose Genres. Then I choose the genre i am looking for... lets say Favorites, as in my original example.... then the Genre Albums pops up. This is very good... to make it perfect, is there a way to make it show Genre Artists instead of Albums? In my example of Green Day, it would shows up under Genres, Favorites, but there are several Green Day Albums that have songs listed as favorites. As is, i can play each album separately, but i would love to play all of the Green Day ones at once.

Again, thanks guy.. i hate to sound nit-picky about this, but i am just trying to get it how i want it.... i listen to about 6-7 hours of music a day in my car while working.

you guys are life-savers.... Tomorrow is the last day i had to turn my Note 2 back in and get an iphone. the ONLY reason i would have done that is for the music.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] georgepink:
that's one (and only one) of the beauties of Android, for every request for a player or a function, there's 10 different players and opinions. keep searching, you'll find one. I wouldn't return this phone for 2 iphones. Android is my fav and this sammy is by far the caddy of phones right now, with nos and flames!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thegadfly:
I would. Then I would sell both iPhones and get two Galaxy Note II's.

Hi Guys,

Need your advise on how to remove TWRP?

I was on CWM and changed to TWRP.

Now I want CWM back but I can't boot into it.

How do I remove TWRP?

Flash CWM again?

Appreciate your kind advise.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy1991:
Re-root again with CF root?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Striatum_bdr:
Flash cwm with mobile Odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BayuDroidz:
Will try. Thanks for the prompt response!

Edit: It Works! Got my CWM back! Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcutta610:
Did you try the first or second suggestion? Or was both necessary?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamafrickinnoob:
How do you suppose I do that?

Simple language please..I'm new :D :P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sherlock5545:
Glad you managed to get back. By the way, you can also go flash a new recovery by flashing it through the custom recovery you already have.

E.g. Flash CWM (ZIP) via TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsannes:
So im on miui and was wondering if there is a kernel that has USB otg support that will work with the Rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] rancur3p1c:
Why does search turn up nothing for this?

I thought with S-Off and Root and 4ext, all my problems would be solved; sadly no! I can't flash kernels because the write_raw_image assert fails.

Why is this, and what can I do to get around it permanently, besides buying Flash Image Gui? Perhaps extract something from a kernel and flash that to fastboot boot boot.img?

For others that run into this problem, I have Virgin Mobile Evo V 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Is this with every ROM you try to flash or just certain ones?
[HTC EVO 3D] rancur3p1c:
Hadn't gotten to ROMs yet was just trying to get a non-stock kernel.

Every kernel I tried, didn't work.

This was confusing.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui&hl=en

I bought Flash Image GUI, $1.* Only have to use it once, from then on you can flash kernels to your hearts content. Something was preventing 4ext recovery from writing to /boot. Thought S-Off removed all that. Whatever. Flash Image GUI opened up my current boot.img, ripped the wifi, Wimax modules from it and inserted them into MAC Sense-Kernel 3.1 that I had been trying to install, then used my SuperUser/Root in Android to flash the kernel + modules as a boot.img to my /boot.

Now that /boot is "unsecured", there is nothing (what was doing it in the first place?) blocking me from flashing in recovery going forward.

Phew. These phones getting more confusing and complicated by the day.

*I think you can just use TWRP2 or this: http://teamw.in/project/htcdumlock
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You shouldn't need Flash Image GUI, 4EXT SmartFlash or TWRP dumlock if you are S-OFF. Those are all tools designed to help S-ON users that can't update the boot partition in recovery without starting it from fastboot.

Were you able to flash the RUU.exe and the OTA update successfully?

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] copecu:
This is my case when flashing a MIUI ROM with a signed boot.img.

Check out this link: HTC EVO 3d Kernel flash issue

Greetings.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, that's a specific configuration that causes a problem but the OP of this thread is having problems with kernels that everyone else is flashing with no problems. I'm sure the cause in this case is some sort of misunderstanding.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] rancur3p1c:
Yes tried a second time like you mentioned completed just fine. Oh well, works now.
[HTC EVO 3D] rancur3p1c:
Beats me. I tried every configuration every kernel couldn't get anything to flash smart mode on or off.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEmpyre:
Hi all, I just wanted to ask this before I start flashing custom ROMs:

If I want to restore the factory image, would I be able to just flash the zip from the google dev website for the Nexus 10 (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaray) In recovery?

I noticed that in the contents of the file it has a new recovery image and all so I would imagine that I can't do this but thought I would ask. If no, what is the best way to get back to stock? I know there are some guides with several fastboot commands to erase everything you've got and then build it back up from scratch, but is there no other way?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biohazard0289:
Personally, I used the [Nexus 10 Toolkit]. It really can't get much easier than that.

It provides everything you'll need to download and flash the stock image/recovery, re-lock bootloader, etc. Not to mention all the other fun stuff you can do with it.

Hi All,

I purchased this car dvd navi unit. One of the program Virtual Disc only store files in the Ram, Can anyone PLEASE take a look at the program and see if the files can be stored in SD card. Under wince 6, there are three folders, nflash, gpsdata and storagecard. the program Virtualdisc.exe reside in nflash\players, the files are stored in gpsdata\virtualdisc\disc1 ~ disc6, and it only read files from the sd card "storagecard", the other sdcard and the usb flashdrive do not show up under wince.

I have been emailing back and fore with the seller and manufacture for a month now they will not correct the mistake by the sales. I was told using a sdcard to store the file, but the program actually using ram, and there is only 128mb of ram and may be 20mb availiable for use.

I have also used hexedit to try to modify the directory the files get stored. but it won't work. Kindly PLEASE someone help me with this. I am not surethis is allow to mention here, but I am more than willing to pay for the trouble to correct this.

I live in Belize now, and there is hardly experts at anything for everything, so I am asking for the experts here to help me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lilbitz_1018:
Ok so I got in my car one day, checked my phone.. about 50% charge. I plugged it in to the car charger by habit. The screen turned off, so i thought it was just the display timer. But when I realized my settings are for it NOT to turn off while charging I pressed the power button...no response. In fact, there was no charging light! So ive tried different chargers, usb, everything even holding the power button down for 10secs-2 minutes and no response! This is the first time I've actually had a phone without insurance or sprint's replacement thingy (yes now ive learned my lesson). I cant send it in to HTC because my screen cracked (1st lesson) which voids the warranty. Ive just opened it and replaced the battery thinking that's the problem but apparently not.

Now that my rant is over, does anyone have an idea, solution and/or fix for this? and I've attached pics of some concerning dark spots on the connections. Is that normal or could the charger have burned up the connection(s). Do i need a new phone or can just the port/connections be replaced? I am LOST without my phone lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] inst1029:
my phone does same, 100% battery. next thing i know it won't turn on (power on) no matter how long i hold power button.

not even showing charge light, believe it's hard bricked.

send in to be fixed for $60, not sure if it can be .:eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Plug it into its wall charger and leave it alone for 6-8 hours. Its happened to others before.

That may fix it. some think its a super deep sleep or something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dteze88:
Hi,

Have you tried holding down volume up+volume down+power at the same time for a while? That usually resets the phone and you can get back into recovery. Worth a shot. I hope you get it fixed brother. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lilbitz_1018:
my warranty is void because of the broken screen...and I just opened it to replace the battery =/

I'll try that and see, it does get warm on the upper half when plugged in for a few minutes

yes i've tried multiple combinations and different times. thanks anyway.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] inst1029:
i believe mine was hard bricked, so i send it to mobiletechvideos for jtag repair.

heard alot of good reviews on them in xda

I was wondering if someone would post this. Lots of people getting excited about the upgrade don't realize it may take a couple of days to get a good working Rom. Well, one that will not block or stop other things.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] droiddawg:
Ahh...the dreaded hboot scares. Will wait for a custom rom + a skimmed through firmware package. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
Also, if the firmware files don't flash the first time, don't edit the contents of the .zip file and change the device code to make it flash. I bricked an EVO 4G LTE doing that last summer. This was the reason xHausx posted a warning to re-download the firmware files on a stock rooted ROM he uploaded, lol. Lesson learned!

No need for this thread.

Hi

Is there a way to check if my bootloader is lock or unlocked? I was rooted, but not anymore. I flashed JB with Odin (latest), so I'm not rooted anymore. I'm blind, so using recovery mode won't work (no speech.) Also, is there a way to root with Odin? I would assume so, since I flashed with Odin. Thanks. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Only way to tell from my knowledge is if the samsung logo on boot goes away super fast. And yes you can root with odin by flashing a already rooted factory image found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1984436

Hello. I need help to repair my PIPO Max M1.

I just got my PIPO M1 yesterday. I flashed TNT R3 via RKBatchTool and verything was great. Then I try to flash Decontaminate Rom, follow the instruction step by step. It boot into CWM Recovery. then I installed zip and reboot, my PIPO reboot in CWM again. Try to flash back to TNT but this time I got "download IDB fail". Then I flashed Decontaminate Rom again. This time after I selected reboot in CWM. The PIPO never turn on again

I try to press every combo sequence but not help. It doesn't turn on or go into flash mode. PC does't detect the device. I don't think my problem is from battery empty or overcharge because before bricked it had 60%, but I will open the back case and check it again.

Can someone give me some advice??

When I try set voice mail service on my JB (AT&T JB/Rooted) it fails to register. But I have fowarding set to my GV number so it does send voice mail there.

I have GV settings (online GV settings) set to display my GV number, not the real number (Don't want texts sent to real number...have that turned off). But I learned today that my real number is displaying on the other side.

Any suggestions?

Boy. Google is getting as bad as some others. Even their own products not working together. GV seems to not be getting much support/update or enhancements from Google. I wonder when they will add it to their list of products to drop.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jbrinkley:
I did have this solved, on my last gs3 on AOKP. VM went to GV and all calls went through GV with my caller ID showing as my GV number.

New phone, new flash and I'm working on it again.

In my case I use GV for all texting, and all calls. I did have the problem of phone VM set up originally. And I thought I had it set up well and then borked the phone.

I'm still starting over since yesterday.

IF you look at the screen that shows up under phone> menu> voicemail> set up. That screen looks like an old GB screen and has your google voice number listed as you voicemail as area code+number. There is no "1" before the number. if you de activate and reactivate from teh web interface and start using those codes *00xxxxxxx whatever, notice forwarding has a "1" in front of your number to forward to.

I thought this had somethig to do with it, maybe not.

But I'm working on it today

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Justinsimison:
I have now tried both the Hyperion 6200 mAh and the Onite 6500 mAh. I have used each for a 48 hour period, not counting the initial charge and total discharge.

Thoughts:

They are both good. The Onite seemed to last a little longer, as I essentially had to abuse the phone to get it below 50% in one day. The Hyperion got as low as 37%, but again, I am taking no steps whatsoever to conserve power. The brightness and every other customizable feature is completely maxed, bluetooth and wifi are always on, etc. With the stock battery, this sort of use wouldn't last eight hours. These models are compatible with ALL versions/carriers of the phone, as I have confirmed.

The back covers are definitely bigger, but I actually find them more comfortable. The battery is more than 100% bigger in mAh, but the back plate is only about 50% bigger. I was pleasantly surprised. The Note is a little thinner than what I'm used to, so I almost prefer the bigger back. The Hyperion case only bulges out for the battery, with the top returning to the thickness of the original back piece. The Onite case is evenly dispersed, which I think I like a little better. However, the Hyperion case fit perfectly and the Onite case never really did on the very top of the phone. I couldn't get it to snap properly, and there's a gap (although barely noticeable,)

I paid $32.97 for the Onite and, provided they send me a new back plate that fits, that's the one I'll be keeping. I paid $21.48 for the Hyperion battery, including shipping. Both were purchased on Amazon. I will probably not try the Mugen battery, although I'm sure it performs similarly. The price is just impossible for me to justify. My financial priorities are screwed up enough as it is.

I hope this helps someone.
