USB Port Problem

Me too...:(

I think is the USB port problem, because I've tried at my old upgraded win8 laptop with USB 2.0 port it works but at new win8 laptop with USB 3.0 port can't detect...

Also I've tried with a hub, but the flashtool detect my phone as flash mode although I'm connect it as fastboot mode...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kalel29:
thanks mate its working fine for me now that im on windows 8. :good:

this is a must have tutorial for windows 8 users
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mastero9017:
I had a problem with the connection, the solution was to disconnect the mouse from the computer when turning it on. If you have the same problem that all be separate from the computer and reboot it

My mouse: Gigabyte ECO500
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] totom96:
Does anyone knows why it doesn't work on my laptop? There are no problems to install the drivers, but the phone doesn't become recognized. I have USB 3.0.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] bluestricker_21:
Same problem here..

I have one usb 2.0 port but still not working

I have win8 x64 single language!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] linnx88:
Thanks so much!! Been struggling for an hour to get the fastboot drivers to load. All I had to do it seems was install that file from flashtool dir!! :good::good::good:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] MauricioAedo:
Thanks but my problem was solved changed usb port from 3.0 to 2.0
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zhuhang:
But my problem is it doesn't even recognize flash mode, so i cannot install any driver.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
Just disable driver signature enforcement mode, and go to C:/Flashtool/driver <--- install the driver with the provided driver located there, For best, just tick the last two options which just normal flashmode and fastboot mode drives which will support almost all Xperia Devices but Besure to use the latest flashtool ;)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] boylush:
For Windows 8.1 go to the charms bar , search : Advanced startup then click on it.

I wasn't able to find any method yet... , the method on the first post didn't work for me... , not sure whether its my driver problem or windows 8.1 problem.

I realised that if i manually install my installed drivers from device manager , the installation will fail with code 10.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] brenerj:
Thank you! Very hard to do stuffs ins Windows 8. I downgrade to Windows 7 because of that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] deccan451:
yeah .... i know i'm on win 8.1, there is no way to flash ftf & kernel using flashtool ... usb not recognized :confused: but i like win8.1 :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] boylush:
Regarding the Fastboot drivers i have contacted microsoft and might be a fault at their part as they told me that not all drivers are installed in the preview version...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheSaarth:
I'm on a win8.1 x64 machine, I was wondering whether i can install win8 or win7 on a virtual machine and then install fastboot drivers on that and flash kernels from there?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] boylush:
U guys might want to try flashing kernels from ubuntu (install ubuntu via wubi)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheSaarth:
I was just planning to do this.

What version, of ubuntu? 12 or 13 and 32bit or 64 bit?

I'm on win8.1 64bit atm.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
12 is better. 64 bit. It helps in compiling as well. Also some app building
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] TheSaarth:
Alright, thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] boylush:
I've installed ubuntu two days back , download flashtool and stuff , did i miss out anything (still not working flashtool)

btw do we need any drivers for ubuntu for flashtool to work?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] boylush:
Try Installing on VHD (windows 8 or below will work) , i've tried it and my computer successfully detected my devices...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vvirumbi:
same issue no driver is accepted; mk16i not recognised in fastboot mode

help me, tried all driver in forum

Fastboot in win 8.1

FASTBOOT IN WIN 8.1

finally guys i got it working. dont know this method was shared earlier than in this thread by [MENTION=4431602]n70shan[/MENTION].

things u need

1. windows 8.1 installed pc of course . with flashtool and drivers installed.

2 little file called Take ownership

3 usb files form WIN 8

for x86 system

for x64 sysem

go to C > windows > System32 > drivers and copy and save usbhub.sys and usbport.sys in some location just in case if this didnt work for you. you can replace them back and have the PC going without any issue if something goes wrong . which is highly unlikely :)

install InstallTakeOwnership.reg from the take ownership zip.

go to C > windows > System32 > drivers

right click and select take ownership for the 2 usb files ( usbhub.sys and usbport.sys )

copy paste from the given usb files to your pc and replace the current

reboot

:)

now you should have fastboot and flashmode without any issue in your Win 8.1

so the concept is given . u can do your little investigations and get it work in your PC just in case my usb files didnt work in your pc. i got my x86 usb files by installing Win 8 in a partition of my pc just to get the files :)

have fun and distribute this to everyone cos i know this was a rally big issue for many for many many time

have fun . cheers :)

[AT&T LG Optimus G] willtoskie:
I just noticed that android OS is not only using up an unheard of majority of my battery, but also using up an outrageous amount of data! Luckily for me, I'm grandfathered in to unlimited from the first iPhone, but for those of you on limited plans, this could be a big chunk of data that you don't even know about! I've uploaded pictures.

Anybody else notice this spike in used data? I got this phone 6 days ago. That's about 80mb a day, which would send some of you over your limits in less than a month without touching the browser, facebook, or ANY applications.

From what I understand about software development in my college career thus far, a solution to the problem MUST be around the corner. Something like this doesn't go unnoticed. If it is an ICS problem though, I fear we are out of luck until JB rolls out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MNDZA:
Mine has only used 219 megabytes in the past five days. Almost half of yours.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrZim4:
I'm at 229 in three days..

Edit

My bad I wasn't paying attention. That's total data. My androidos is only at 9.75. It is however sucking up about 2/3 of my battery
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JohnCorleone:
Watch (and delete) the AT&T apps. Ones i never even agreed to terms to open were using my data. The WiFi hotspot locator was the worst.

Sent from my phone using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chrisphoenix7:
Stop watching youtube on mobile. That's what caused mine. It shows up as OS in data and battery, even though it really isn't.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] touchprofan:
That's priceless, and with their data caps that's really a law suite waiting to happen.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] willtoskie:
I've only watched a handful of youtube videos on this, even on wifi.

That's the first thing on my to-do list when I finally decide to root, but I don't quite feel comfortable with the amount of development / support available just yet. I guess I'll just have to deal for a while.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrPlNK:
Its Google backup.. I had the same issue except like 2 gigs used by android is.. turned Google backup off and now its fine
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jordain:
Something to be aware of.

I noticed my android os data looking abnormally large and figured out that streaming pandora was counting towards android os data. Weird.

Does anyone know why that happens, and what other apps do it? Also, does pandora do it on every android?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] qjai:
Got the same issue. My Google backup is off n barely use YouTube and I don't have Pandora....

[Nexus 7 Accessories] wassup:
If you use a screen protector, do you have problems where the edge of the protector being lifted up by the rubber part of the case? I had an active case for my phone and tried to use a wet apply screen protector with it. It didn't work well since it barely overlap the protector, causing it to be pushed in and bubbling up.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Yes I am using a XO skins one. Wet application. And I have had it on since the beginning and I have no issues with the case lifting the screen protector.
[HTC Inspire 4G] johnciaccio:
A friend asked me if I can install a Pacman rom on his Inspire but I found out that his usb port is broken and he has been recharging the battery out of the phone. The phone is stock and seems to be a typical htc phone as far as rooting and such.

Was wondering if there is anyways to access adb over wifi or writing a an unlocked bootloader through an img file or anything?

Any ideas? Tried looking through the forums but all seem to point to using adb via usb to install recoveries.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
You need a data connection. Wireless adb only works once you are rooted. All he can do is see if its the cable itself. Other than that its a no go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] johnciaccio:
That's what I thought. I tried it with my cables and it is no good. Thanks for the input. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
I'm assuming quite a few people are going the VoIP route with the $30/mo T-Mobile plan, so I thought we might be able to compile experiences with GrooveIP thus far on this phone. I know there's many other VoIP options, but GrooveIP is very popular due to its great native dialer integration and easy setup, so I'm assuming there will be quite a few of us using it.

My experience so far, even with the default settings, is that this app works much better on the Nexus 4 then it did on the Galaxy Nexus. I assume that the superior WiFi chip and better CPU are partially to thank.

My main concerns thus far here:

Call delays / latency

Echoing

The first doesn't seem to be a problem like it was on the Galaxy Nexus, but time will tell. I often had a 2-3 second delay on my calls with that phone on GrooveIP, rendering it nearly impossible to use.

Echo does seem to be a very large issue for this phone due to its loud speaker. The echo cancellation methods work for me, but they tend to cut off the end of a sentence while you're talking as a result, so I don't consider it a good solution.

So far, these audio settings have yielded me the best (so least) echo returns:

Speaker volume: -4

Mic gain: -6

For anyone who doesn't know, calling this phone number and talking to yourself to listen for an echo is a great way to test these settings out: 909-390-0003

Anyway, for anyone else using this app - what has worked best for you thus far? If we can compile a good starting point for this phone, I'll try to keep the OP updated. Or this thread will fall off into the abyss. That'd work too :p
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
One bump attempt!

Reserved.
[Nexus 4 General] upstandingcitizen:
Mine seems to sound quite good! The echo canceling gets a little overzealous with that phone number you posted!

Mic gain 0

Speaker 0
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
0 for the mic gain?! Have you had anyone complain about background noise or anything? I've bumped mine up to -6 after a few people have complained about me being too quiet, but 0 seems like it'd be overkill and start hearing every little thing.
[Nexus 4 General] smashcz:
I wonder what's better, this or Talkatone ...
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
Having used both, I have to vote for GrooveIP. Talkatone works, but it is ugly and not well integrated in to Android. It doesn't FEEL like it "just works", to me anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] acegolfer:
Interesting discussion.

Please keep in mind that the call quality may seem good from N4 but the quality on the other end for the same call could be totally garbage. You need someone actually giving you live feedback when fine tuning the call settings.
[Nexus 4 General] joeshmoe08:
I have not tried grooveip yet on my nexus 4 but will do rep port back. But Wasn't there a thread in gnex page with a way to reduce latency greatly improving performance? I will find and link it later.

We may be able to port it/use it straight up.
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
That latency issue doesn't seem to exist on the Nexus 4. It was a flaw inherent to just the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] donec:
Thanks for the test number and this thread. I was testing my nexus 4 by removing my landline from Google Voice and then using it to call my Google Voice number and answering with both Groove IP and Talkatone but that required trying to find time for both my wife and I to be tied up for testing. With the test number it will be easier to try and get a close setup and then we can try the landline test.

I have been having quite bad connections with Groove IP and with the settings you mentioned I can't hear anything on the test number and all the settings I have tried have been very unsatisfactory so far.

Evidently there is a limit to how many times you can call that number. I tried 4-5 times and then it quit answering so I figure I'll wait a bit and try again. Anyone else run into this?
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
Weird, I called it several times with no problem.

I had to up my mic gain quite a bit recently from someone telling me it was too quiet. It doesn't seem consistent. I'll update the OP.
[Nexus 4 General] bluebotdot:
my settings

I tried different settings on Groove-ip for my Nexus 4; checked for echoes on 909-390-0003.

Following ones gave me best results:

Adaptive Echo canceler

Post processing

Echo tail: Auto detect

Microphone gain, Speaker volume, everything else: default. Did not change those

Let me know if these settings worked for anyone
[Nexus 4 General] nmyeti:
I ended up with

speaker gain -6

Mic gain -4

audio processing on

Had a test call with my dad, he said "sounds like you are on a land-line"

Echo canceling caused my voice to cut out too much at the end of a sentence
[Nexus 4 General] lopri:
Same query

Bump for more responses. I am trying to identify the best GrooveIP settings for my Nexus 4 as well. There are many settings that I have no clue of, I would like someone more knowledgeable to share their wisdom.

ty.
[Nexus 4 General] andrewferk:
Out of all the suggestions on this thread and other threads on the Internet, I found this to work great! No echo. No choppy or delayed sound. The Basic Echo Canceler was also causing me problems with sentences/words being cut out.

I was able to increase my speaker to -4 and mic gain to -3, and still no echo. I was just about to give up and drop my T-Mobile $30/month plan for a $45/$50 plan. I hope this continues to work. Thank you!
[Nexus 4 General] lopri:
Speaker gain at -6 makes incoming voice sound too low on my N4. Is everyone else OK with theirs?
[Nexus 4 General] doublei2c:
Grooveip and Talkatone don't work on Nexus 4

Hey Guys,

I bought a Nexus 4 unlocked from T-mobile due to it's scarcity from Google. On my former Android phones these apps worked like a charm, but now no more.

When I make a call, the line just keeps ringing till the app kills the call. Also when I have a call coming in, if I answer it, I don't hear a sound and the person on the other line doesn't hear one either.

I have tried searching for an answer for 2 weeks now. I was thinking maybe some settings will fix this. I even tried changing the voice channel. Hope someone has a suggestion.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] lopri:
Sounds like you have a bad connection. Have you tried both Wi-Fi and T-Mobile's network? There aren't many settings to fiddle within Groove IP. If you have, reset those and try again from the beginning.
[Nexus 4 General] doublei2c:
Did that

I tried wifi connections in different areas. Also, tried ussed 3g/4g in different coverage spots. Nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] Goredrak:
Getting bluetooth to work properly on Nexus 4 in Groove IP

Has anyone discovered the best settings for Bluetooth operation in Groove IP for the Nexus 4? I haven't gone through the various troubleshooting settings in Groove IP yet, but was hoping someone has gotten Bluetooth to work smoothly. Specifically, I use the Bluetooth connection between the Nexus 4 and my Kenwood car stereo which has its own mic. I haven't done enough testing to give any accurate details of my experience yet, but I'll post those if no one has it figured out already. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] jeffreynew23:
I have tried these settings and they simply don't work for me. I switched to talkatone and people have not complained. They don't sound as sharp to me but they are happy on the other end with what they hear.
[Nexus 4 General] zores1:
Glad I found this thread.

I combined settings in 2 posts to get it to not echo.

Adaptive Echo canceler

Post processing

Echo tail: Auto detect

speaker gain -6

Mic gain -4

audio processing on

But, if the volume is on the highest notch it will still echo. These settings seem to work for me calling that 903 number, as long as I keep grooveip one notch down using the side volume button.
[Nexus 4 General] SweetTides:
For me this made it a bit worse. nmyeti's settings of :

speaker gain -6

Mic gain -4

audio processing on

still work the best for me even though it is still a bit choppy with that. I have registered on xda solely for this thread and have been trying everyone's settings. I am convinced someone will just nail it for this device. Thank you and everyone else for posting there results! Cheers!
