Just bought a second hand GS3 from ebay, the screen had a small crack but otherwise was meant to be OK. I am finding that the sound will work fine after a restart for as long as I use the device but then, after it has gone to sleep (screen off for five seconds) all sound will stop working.

I've tried clean wipes/formats etc. and also checked all relevant settings I could find (including turn off all sound in accessibility; what an odd option).

I've tried two ROMs and three kernels.

I've tried searching google and xda for hours but haven't found anything that wasn't related to the headphone port; this affects both speaker and headphone, although when the headphone is in and the sound has died I can hear some strange static noises when it's meant to play sound, could be interference or a clue.

I've dismantled the phone and inspected for damage, nothing obvious. While dismantled I tried applying pressure to the speaker flex cable and various other IC's to no effect.

It really seems like a software glitch since it only happens when the device goes to sleep;

You can turn the screen off and unlock within 3 seconds and it will be OK.

If you wait 5 seconds with the screen off - boom, no sound.

Any ideas? Is there some deep idle sleep setting that kicks in after 3 seconds I can disable or some way to log audio errors or... something?

Thanks :)

Hi all

Does anyone know a good QI wireless charger that i can buy in the UK. I've looked at all the ones people have posted but there doesn't seem to be any UK shipping/stock anywhere

Any other UK guys had any luck?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higgsy:
There's plenty about it in the wireless charging orb thread, pages in fact, take a look there for info

look on play/ebay for maxell air voltage - £39.99 thats pretty much your lot at the moment, there are some generic Chinese items starting to show up too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharmingCharlie:
As Higgsy says your options are extremely limited at the moment in the UK and the only one "readily available" is the Maxell Qi charger. A company called SmartGear Ltd UK is selling the Maxell one (I purchased one and it works great). Here are the relevant links :-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maxell-Ai...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item4abf0ef238

Both links are from the SAME seller so it depends on where you feel more comfortable buying from.

Really a gimmick, no? And you cant effectively use it whilst its charging.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higgsy:
Its not a gimmick at all mate, it works great and my phone is always topped up nicely. If I want to use the phone I pick it up off the charger and use it - once I've finished I chuck it back on the charger, which is where it stays until I pick it up next time, meaning its constantly topped up. I still have a standard usb charger as a back up in the bedroom and at work, however I have only needed to user this once since getting the wireless mat.

You need to experience using it to appreciate the benefits.

Just got the Maxell Qi charger this morning. Seems to charge my Nexus 4 fine but doesn't respect the "Stay awake" developer option.

Is there any way to keep the screen on whilst wirelessly charging, so I can use Daydream or keep track of notifications?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Publicglutton:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharmingCharlie:
Hm I had no problem with the phone using daydream and Maxell. Have you got the option "when to daydream" ticked for "while charging" ?

I personally do not use daydreaming with wireless charging because A) it increases the time it takes for the wireless charger to charge your phone if you have the screen on constantly (which is what daydream does) and B) I was extremely uncomfortable with the amount of heat generated with wireless charging + the daydream option enabled. When I wirelessly charge with daydream running my phone hits 45c, if I wireless charge with daydream turned off my phone never goes above 36c. There is clearly a problem with daydream using way too much power and I hope Google fix it.

Those poo pooing wireless charging really need to be more open minded. This is NOT a gimmick it is a very useful feature, just having the ability to plonk the phone down and it automatically charges is a huge convenience it is on a par with "remote controls for TV's" Yes you don't need a remote control for your TV you can easily get up and change the channel with the buttons on the TV however a remote control these days is better and far more convenient and it is the same with wireless charging. Sure you can use USB charging but wireless charging is more convenient and leads you into a habit of always having your phone charging so it will always have a decent level of charge in it thus negating the fact you can't use it whilst it is charging.

Cheers, I've got Daydream working now, although I can't get the screen to stay on like when it's plugged in. I think you're right about Daydream though - having the screen on does slow down the charging rate...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
While I have been initially impressed with the hardware, having most of my apps appear as just larger phone apps is annoying. My original reaction to this was "it will get better", right? Now I am not so sure. Did Google screw the pooch on this one?

Case in point: Grocery IQ, an often used app has been recently updated to a tablet version "yay!". But initially this update broke both the phone and tablet version on Nexus 7. I contacted the developer and was told they were aware of the issue and a fix would be released soon.

Got that new release this morning, the phone version, not the tablet version. Tablet version is incompatible with the Nexus 7. So... yet another app that has a tablet version, but not on the Nexus 7.

So is the iPad Mini the only 7-8 inch tablet available or do the Samsung 7 inchers behave like a tablet too? And what has Google left out of the dev environment that has developers of apps like Grocery IQ and Trip Advisor issuing their phone apps to the Nexus 7 and not their tablet counterparts?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
It does get rather annoying just having a "big" phone, I'd love to see some tablet apps appearing PROPERLY on the Nexus 7.

But thats Android in general at the moment, everything is scaled and all look the same!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fushla:
And don't forget the lazy companies, that, instead of releasing just the phone app, or tablet app, just block and ban an app for the nexus 7.

Some tablet apps work, like news 360 and that is brillaint and the Times app worked as tablet. Only thing what annoys me is Chrome always requests mobile sites.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
It's the fault of lazy or incompetent developers.

It really takes no magic to check for tvdpi (IIRC) and then load the tablet layout XML - but they just fail to do it.

But they'll get what they deserve. Their apps will get lesser downloads over time and people will move to the apps doing it right.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fushla:
And it's also not hard to just release the app until they fixed it.. Why banning... I don't get it..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
Blaming the app developers is not really the smart route. Google has had plenty of time to make the n7 a tablet ui. We are on the fourth revision (4.1, 4.1.1, 4.2, 4.2.1) and google has actually moved further away form tablet ui by removing all remaining framework for it in 4.2. In this instance, looking any further than google when assigning blame would be silly. But, those kinds of things make you appreciate our xda devs just that much more when they release fixes for us all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Wrong.

Don't confuse the complete "tablet UI" with the launcher and notification area.

The notification area is actually THE ONYL thing they changed.

The UI still uses fragments when in "tablet (UI) mode" - just compare the settings app with the default DPI and then edit it to 160, big difference there.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Everyone knows how annoying default Android rotation algorithm can be. So we tried to come up with better solution and this is how GMD Smart Rotate was created. It is co-developed by me and Vitalij (developer of Touch Screen Tune).

Smart screen rotation using front facing camera.

Smart keeping screen on using front facing camera.

This application replaces default Android screen rotation and add smart features:

- Use front facing camera to evaluate your face position and decide if device screen needs to be rotated.

- Automatically keep screen turned on while you are looking at it (Full version only).

- Lock rotation in landscape or portrait.

- Force rotate applications that does not allow rotation by default.

- Set per application rotation preferences (Full version only).

- Easy rotation preference access by pressing default Android lock rotation toggle.

- Rotation preferences widget and launcher shortcuts.

- Clockwise and Counterclockwise rotation shortcuts.

- Integrates with GMD GestureControl and GMD SPen Control using shortcuts.

Development version - may contain bugs!

Tested and working on:

- Samsung Galaxy S

- Samsung Galaxy S2

- Samsung Galaxy S3

- Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

- Samsung Tab 7.7

- Samsung Note1

- Samsung Note2

- Nexus 7

- Xoom

- HTC One X

- Motorola Atrix

- Nexus S

- Galaxy Nexus, Verizon Galaxy Nexus

- Droid Incredible 2

- Sony Xperia

Tried it on a P7500 tab and it doesn't work correctly. I get the correct toast message from the accelerometer (0, 90, 180, 270) but the screen doesn't turn, or, if it rotates, it remains on that position.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Is it in launcher? By default Smart Rotate does not force rotation in applications that do not support rotation (same way like Android default rotation). If you want to force it you have to check 'Force rotate'.
[Android Apps and Games] ungureanuc:
No, is not in an app, I just installed the apk and I've found that "issue" on the default screen, using Apex Pro. But I have started Maxthon browser and had same issue. As I aid, toast indicates correct rotation message, but it doesn't rotate accordingly.

Thanks for quick reply and if there's anything else, I'd be glad to be considered a "tester".. :good:

I cannot install the app on my N7. But somehow the key to unlock it :D

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thats strange, I developed in on N7 but havent tried to download from market yet. I will upload apk to XDA when I'm home.

Same key will work, if anything.

Could you try unchecking 'Smart Rotate use camera". I'm wondering if camera fails to get image. There are some technical difficulties acquiring image without keeping camera locked, but we solved it on every device we had available for testing. I will try to get my hands on P7500 and check what is going on. What ROM you use?
[Android Apps and Games] ungureanuc:
Using Toldo's v7. (ICS). I'll try your suggestion and report back.

LE With "smart rotate using camera" off, it rotates normally, except the position 180° (upside down); here it turns to normal position (0*°). As said, the toast message display correct position of the rotation.

The same in maxthon browser.

L. L. E.g. forgot to mention, with "smart rotate using camera" enabled, the tab freezes and had to reset by button.
[Android Apps and Games] DHM47:
I too am using a galaxy tab 10.1 (P7500) on the CM10 nightlies

and the screen sticks when Smart rotate using camera is checked

can you add an auto landscape/portrait(only landscape or only portrait)

and it doesn't rotate 180
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Click notification to open rotation dialog.

You can choose auto rotate, portrait or landscape. If you check 'Force" it will rotate even apps that do not support rotation.

If you check 'Default for this app" it will remember this setting for current application only.

Is this what you were looking for?

I have an idea what might be wrong with camera I will upload test version when I'm home.
[Android Apps and Games] teorouge:

Great idea, I will open a project there and post it here. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I have the same problem. When smart rotate using camera is on apps don't rotate. Or if they do, they remain in the same position.

When smart rotate using camera is switched off apps rotate. But it also rotates the home, while force rotate is unchecked in options. And I have not set defaults for any app yet.

One more question: when you open default settings a small dialog appears with 4 buttons. What's the last one on the right for?

Thanks for another smart idea!

:)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
If your launcher supports rotation then it does rotate even without "force". You can still set per app setting for launcher. Last button opens application preferences. This is mostly useful if you want to manage per app settings for all apps.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
No, my launcher is not supporting rotation but is rotated.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thank I already know why it is happening. Will fix it later today :o
[Android Apps and Games] DHM47:
Sorry what i meant was the 180 rotation (reverse landscape )
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
If you set for example Portrait then application will automatically rotate by 180 degree to inverse Portrait and back according to accelerometer. However if your device does not support inverse or application does not support rotation you have to check 'Force'. Same for Landscape.

Is that what you were looking for?

Update to 1.1

Update:

1.1

- Fixed: camera detection was not working on some devices.

- Do not rotate Home screen if it does not support rotation and "force" is not checked.

Uploaded APK in first post. Suspended market application till issues are solved.
[Android Apps and Games] ungureanuc:
Now it works with "smart rotate use camera", except for 180°, it stays on 0° (accelerometer and camera toast messages shows 180°).

L.E. Found something else... When I want to type something, even it is a mail, in browser or sms the tab is freezing with swype and the SmartRotate shuts down. Switched to default Samsung keyboard, the app doesn't freeze the tab, but now i cannot switch to other input method (from the status bar quick icon).

I also tried to force rotate the app "Awesome On Off" which is by default in portrait mode, the app is not switching to landscape and the SmartRotate app is shutting down...
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) Does it stay on 0° even when "Force" is checked?

2) Could you email me log cat after crash?

P.S: unpublished application in market till issues are solved :fingers-crossed:.
[Android Apps and Games] ungureanuc:
1. I set to force rotate the "awesome on off". Tne tab is in "normal" mode (landscape). I rotate the tab in portrait (270°), which is awesone's native state and tried to open the awesome on off... The screen turns for a sec to...landscape and then turns back to portrait, its default position...

2. I'll gladly email you that if I'd know how to do it. Tell me and I'll send it immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) Install Catlog from Google Play (free)

Google Play: Catlog

2) You don't need to run it is is not a service. Just start it after crash.

3) Click menu in Catlog

4) Click Send, select As Attachment, pick Email or Gmail

5) Enter my email: gmdSmartRotate@gmail.com and send.

it still shows 180 in toast but actually 0°

Version 1.1.3

Edit : rotates 180 when force rotate is checked

If i turn the app off the system will allow the 180 rotation
[Android Apps and Games] ungureanuc:
For me, when I updated to 1.1.3 was the same. But now it works ok, without force rotate. And what I did was to....plug the charger. :confused:

Anyway, now seems to work like it should.

L. E. Hmmm...unplugged the charger and the 180 "bug" is back... Can you confirm this?

Camera NOT_DETECTED toast on

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks. I use default Android rotation lock when possible, but Android lock only lock is 0°. I will review this part.

I want to explain a bit what is going on with camera. In general camera is nor supposed to be used without preview. There are a few patterns how this can be done, but different methods work on some devices and don't work on others. So we are trying to create combined method that would work everywhere and we want to avoid mapping particular solution to particular device.

As I mentioned earlier I unpublished app in Google Play and we switched back to development. Currently posted versions on XDA should be considered as development version and may contain bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
This is a nice and smart app. I like it (as all your other apps) very much and want to use it. I'm now going to try the new update.

There is something else I want to ask:

I want to know if this use of the front camera isn't going to be bad for the battery life. How much is it going to affect it?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
We had it in mind when developing and battery usage should be negligible. Application does not appear in battery stats on any of our devices.

New version 1.1.5

I think a lot of confusion is because we tried to mimic default android behavior and only override it where we feel it was not convenient. With this update we changed it to use our rotation by default, so now if you do clean install "force rotation" is enabled by default. We also updated debug toasts to explain reason when rotation is not applied.

Please try clean install to get default behavior. Enable debug toasts in settings at the bottom.

1.1.5:

- Changed default to "force rotation"

- Added option to disable rotation on Home screen. We cannot always detect if home screen supports rotation, so if your Home screen does not support it but it gets rotated - check 'Disable Home rotation'.

- Updated debug toast to display why rotation was not applied (like, disabled in settings or application does not support rotation).

If you try it, please post:

1) Your device

2) Rom

3) Does it work with camera enabled

4) Does it work with camera disabled

So far a few people here reported that it does not work, but we tried with 7 different devices and it was working, so we are a bit confused. Does it work for anyone? Is it different behavior that you expect?
[Android Apps and Games] UtkarshAgrawal:
It is not even starting, it force closes every time I start it.

Device: HTC One X

ROM: Anrod Revolution HD 17.1

Jelly Bean Base: 3.14.401.27

Stock kernel

Hboot version: 1.36

I tried the last version. It doesn't work. Smart rotate use camera is on.

When I rotate the phone, the screen rotates and the toast shows it, but the secondary toast says "camera: face not detected".

The rotation is quite delayed. The first toast is displayed almost immediately, but the screen is rotated in 3-4 sec.

Also there is a delay between the first toast with the rotation angle information and the second one with the "face not detected" information. May be this is normal.

Didn't check the smart screen on function. I guess it's not necessary as camera doesn't detect my face. (I can understand it cause I'm so ugly, so it may not want to "see" me) :D

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thank you, Got it and I can see what is wrong. Fixing it.

Looking what happened. We are trying different approaches so it is possible that one version works and update breaks it for some device. Its very helpful that you report it.

On android only one application can connect to camera at the moment, that is why we want to put both features (Smart Rotate and Smart Stay) in one application. We play nice and release camera every time after getting image and acquire it again when we need update. I have to check if ISeeYou releases camera too or just holds it locked.
