That doesn't help me at all..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Then you don't know how to help yourself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] c0reyl:
There is no information at all how to actually , make any dac work with S3, if my nexus can use it then why not my S3? I'on jellybean , all it says is shot like s3 > otg > headphones > dac which makes no sense.. I just plug it in my nexus and it works if I reboot the nexus 7, I can't get the dac to work the s3, but the other cable works with connecting my camera or a flash drive. Wtf do you mean help myself?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theraffman:
Did you even bother to read the second link for the sgs3, that link he gave you was to a page listing devices compatibility with dac, and the second link under sgs3 is to a forum that had your answer. I breezed thought it for about a minute and found the answer you were looking for. Maybe instead of lashing out at Eddie, you can thank him for pointing you in the right direction.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] c0reyl:
But then why would the dac work with my nexus 7?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BrokenHalo83:
From what I read in the link. I don't think the Fiio is compatible with the S3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
Since you had to spell it out for him, the thread can be closed now.

...unless he wants to flash his device somehow to enable some sort of compatibility.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Yep, it is THE premier USB-DAC and Android OS thread on the entire Internets.

If the answer isn't in that thread (i'm not going to research it for you), then the people you need to ask questions are at least part of the thread.

Just join the forum and ask questions AFTER reading at least a few pages of material so you can at least educate yourself enough to ask the correct questions. :highfive:

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me make the internal sd card as the default storage seeing as how I don't have an external SD card;

the rom I am using is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412046

Currently, my vold.fstab file looks like this:

#######################

## Regular device mount

## Format: dev_mount <label> <mount_point> <part> <sysfs_path1...>

## label - Label for the volume

## mount_point - Where the volume will be mounted

# 3.xx Kernel numbering of InternalSD has to be 8 per CM9 Ref and CM7.2 Ref.

Hi, I have bought a another laptop to play with, it's an old Dell Inspirion 6000 running windows xp. I have it set up for ADB & Fastboot which all work fine, my problem is I downloaded the twrp.blob to flash to my tablet yesterday but it would'nt flash I kept getting could'nt open twrp.blob I did notice on my windows 7 laptop the blob file is a white page and works fine but on my xp laptop it is a page with coloured dots on it.

Can anyone offer any advice on why the twrp.blob would'nt flash?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Did you copied the twrp.blob to the same directory of the fastboot.exe, if you use scroller's recovery script then you must rename the twrp.blob to recovery.blob.
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxal:
Yes I did copy twrp.blob to the fastboot.exe directory and I download the twrp.blob from the link in the how to all in one guide, and renamed it to twrp.blob
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Can you download scott's script from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32825557 , unzip to your c:\ drive, now you should have a folder called install recovery. Copy your twrp.blob to this folder and rename it to recovery.blob, now make sure

1. you device is on

2. usb debugging and unknown source are checked in settings

Now dobule click on the scott's bat file and follow the on screen direction.

Basically it will use adb to boot your device into recovery, once the device is in recovery you need to hit the volume down button until the USB icon is selected, then hit volume up , then hit a key on your pc to continue. Hope it works for you!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxal:
Thanks, process worked up untill it said sorry can not open recovery blob.

I suspect it's the blob file as I said it doesn't look right, I thought maybe I needed a codec or something.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Try to download recovery.blob from here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ra7e5933u1wbqec copy to the install recovery folder and try again.

[Networking] YLNdroid:
Hello all, I have been looking at various mobile broadband packages and tariffs in the UK.

:)

I do not want to be bound to a specific contract package and thus would like to use a service on a monthly basis. At this moment, I was considering on availing a Virgin Media £12 monthly tariff with unlimited data. http://store.virginmedia.com/virgin-media-mobile/sim-only/pay-monthly.html

:silly:

I would like to know if I can use a SIM card of the aforementioned service in a wireless pointer/dongle such as a Huawei E5331? I called the Virgin Media customer service and the agent informed me that I

could not

do so. I am skeptical of what was told to me by the customer service agent.

:confused:

I await your expertise.

:)

Friends, any advice or suggestions?

[Nexus 4 General] Eltocliousus:
I've had my Nexus 4 a week now, I'm really enjoying it coming from a Desire HD, a very smooth experience. Although people keep saying the display is one of the best seen in a phone and I'm honestly not that blown away by it. I'm using Fauxclock to edit the display settings, I forgot what user-made settings I'm using.

Before the settings change I wasn't that impressed, afterwards I barely saw a difference, In-fact if I wasn't testing side by side I doubt I would be able to tell the difference.

I'm not saying it's a poor display, the only thing I compare it to is my own IPS monitor and my old Desire HD, it may be because I'm already conditioned to an IPS display in terms of colour and whatnot, that I'm not seeing this wow factor.

This is using auto-brightness and after having a look, I'm using sebacestmoi's settings. (248.240.240 23.22.22 7.7.7)
[Nexus 4 General] warfexion:
going from super crapoled on the G Nexus is an amazing screen upgrade imo ESPECIALLY outdoors
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
After it's calibrated it looks nice. I had a mytouch which had the same screen as the desire(i think) and I very much prefer this screen. The top screens are: HOX, SIII, Note II, and iPhone 5.
[Nexus 4 General] pemoz:
What is the best way to calibrate the nexus 4 screen?
[Nexus 4 General] iPwn_:
It has the best LCD blacks on the market and features in-cell touch, so things on the screen look like they're floating. You can also do a better job of calibrating it. If you spend some time doing it, it's up there with the iPhone 5. That makes sense, since it's the same tech, but Apple does an extraordinary job of calibrating their displays.

I have a Desire HD too and it doesn't even compare. Blacks on the DHD are horrible and the colors are all dull. Stock Nexus 4 colors aren't any better, but if you mess with them they can be quite vibrant.

Sunlight performance is pretty ****ty on both displays.
[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
It´s funny, two years ago everyone was talking about how great Super AMOLED was. The Nexus S has two versions, one with Super AMOLED, the other with Super Clear LCD. Everyone thought S-AMOLED was way better. In my opinion, LCD has always been better, at least in terms of colors. Certainly back then, when AMOLED still had PenTile.

I can imagine that it´s hard to switch from an AMOLED screen to a LCD screen though, even if it´s IPS.
[Nexus 4 General] blackhand1001:
I prefer amoled to be honest. I have no problem in the sun viewing my galaxy nexus and the contrast is amazing as are the view angles. Theres also a lot more calibration potential in custom roms as your not just dealing with a backlight. I still like a good lcd panel though. I just don't understand why the nexus 4 and nexus 10 (especially) have such poor calibrations out of the factory. I don't care if the colors are accurate but the nexus 10 could barely even display the color purple at all when I had it. Theres no reason it shouldn't have been able to. Out of the factory both of these devices have shipped with terrible gamma curves and poor saturation. The fact they aren't calibrated them individually isn't the problem. They are calibrated wrongly.
[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
The fact that it doesn´t use backlight is good. I think that´s the future. I would love to see some hybrid technology with ''normal'' colors.
[Nexus 4 General] Eltocliousus:
I read quite a bit about that in cell touch thing, I don't see anything floating myself buy it sounds fancy anyway. The colours do look accurate but not super vibrant as some say. It is calibrated.
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
I really love the display of the N4 after "calibratiing" it with the faux app. It looks simply stunning, sharp, great colors, awesome black levels and this floating effect (the screen looks like it is painted on the glass).

There are only 2 things which are not perfect (for me atleast), I always have the display on auto-brightness and on the lowest setting (when in dark enviroments) the colors don't look right (hard to explain) but as soon as you increase the brightness a tiny bit it really starts to come to life...

Second thing is this weird effect that it changes the color slightly from yellow/blue depending on the viewing angle, it is not bad it is just a little thing which stops it from being the best. I couldn't compare it side by side to a HOX yet (but I played around with it for a while) but the only difference I see from my N4 and HOX is this weird yellow/blue polarization effect. So I'd say the HOX is still the best display I've seen but the N4 is a really close second. My previous phone the DHD is no comparison aswell as the GNex or Galaxy Note...

But the stock settings on the N4 are horrible when I first saw it I was like "apart from the resolution I rather use my DHD...", everything was yellow/green just horrible...
[Nexus 4 General] Eltocliousus:
What Faux settings are you using? And thankyou for the well written reply.
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
.....you came from a 2+ year old phone using a two year old display and somehow you aren't blown away with this display?

Not sure if needs glasses or trolling....
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
It is in the spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoDp2qRui0u0dGE4T2gtSDBTRHVFSldPS2RrX1Rya0E#gid=0

I simply tried a couple from the list, like the most different settings to see what direction I had to take for my display... And then when I found a good one, I tried to improve it with minor adjustments...

Is this sarcasm?
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
No. He was being serious. I agree with him.

[Nexus 4 General] xchasa:
Definitely not the best screen.

But definitely the best screen for the price.
[Nexus 4 General] Kazliux:
Which one is the best?
[Nexus 4 General] deezid:
!!!

Yes, quite terrible. Maybe Apple has a patent on properly calibrated displays! :D lol

Google has done incredibly bad in calibrating their own devices (starting from Galaxy Nexus -> Nexus 7 -> Nexus 4 and 10).

If you look at a gray scale gradient, instead of seeing: black -> dark gray -> light gray -> white, you see: black -> dark magenta -> green -> yellow. WTF???

What the heck did Google smoke???

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

iPhone 5 or HOX(+). Both are bright, with good contrast AND properly calibrated BY DEFAULT!
[Nexus 4 General] Tomatoes8:
It just has to be widely adapted. People said LCD had weird colors compared to CRT too. And now it is repeating hear with people used to seeing LCD all of their lives saying AMOLED looks weird. But in reality, AMOLED has a pretty wide palette and when viewing certain palettes get magnified when viewed next to a pool of dark black rather than a dark grey. Same thing applies to a really bright white, colors look more washed out than they really are when viewed next to a bright white. that is just the way the cells in our eyes work.

The LG Optimus G currently has my favorite mobile phone display though. For some reason it looks a lot better than the Nexus 4 display even though the screen is exactly the same. Might be software but it might be the wallpapers. Go check out an Optimus G with the wallpaper of the rocks or the colorful feathers, amazing.

The Nexus 10 display is also just wow too. It is gorgeous and probably the best mobile display ever. A 10 inch 300 ppi screen is as good as it sounds.
[Nexus 4 General] beegbear:
It does have a nice display if nothing is wrong with it. The quality is very happy inconsistent
[Nexus 4 General] Tomatoes8:
Iphone 5 screen is disgusting because it is too tall and skinny.
[Nexus 4 General] deezid:
Do screen size and form factor say anything its quality? :rolleyes:

The panel is much better (better contrast, srgb color, better viewing angles, much brighter AND properly calibrated).

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

-> incredibly wrong Google calibration (Just switch from Google Presets to LG Presets with "faux kernel enhancement" on Play Store and they propably won't differ anymore)
[Nexus 4 General] WillWaywell:
From the short experience I had with the Nexus 4 in store it seems to be the best screen I have come across with smart phones so far. Crisp and clear, and I loved the colour definition.
[Nexus 4 General] lhs2011:
I agree, once calibrated it will be the best. Still think the one x still is king
[Nexus 4 General] jtc276:
In technical terms, yes. In real life terms, no. I had an HTC One X before the Nexus 4 which had a beautiful display and I still haven't been able to get over it. I like the experience, size, and build quality of the Nexus 4 much more, but the screen is definitely not close to being on par. The Note 2 definitely has a better screen. Not even a contest, really. The iPhone 5 has a slightly better display but, in my opinion, is below the Note 2's and One X's.

I change the display settings frequently on the Nexus 4, thinking that I have improved it and it's now just as good as the iPhone or the One X. But then I see either of those two phones and discover that it simply isn't true. IPS just isn't that great. I'm not exactly sure how Apple made it look so good on the iPhone 5, but they did.
[Nexus 4 General] Qbancelli:
I used the Nexus 4 display control app to get rid of the yellow tint, and love the display now.

Best $2.49 I spent in a while.
[Nexus 4 General] xchasa:
ONEX for sure. iphone 5 is good but obviously smaller than htc.
[Nexus 4 General] wendellc:
My past 3 phones were all samoled. With the nexus 4 I felt it was a little washed out because the blacks wasn't the same. Waited a week to get used to screen and calibrated with Franco app, my setting, 245, 210, 225. Not missing samoled at all, even after comparing with my galaxy nexus. Nexus 4 screen a lot more natural and brighter.
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
Yes that sums it up perfectly, this is exactly what you see, it is crazy... I can't believe that Google actually wants their devices to look like this, if they do it on purpose I simply can't understand it, it is so far off from anything normal.... ridiculous... My Nexus7 looks good though nothing spectacular but it is nothing like the N4 green/yellow "fever"...

I think it is obvious that everyone gets different results because we are all using different settings for our N4 (since it is not calibrated to a profile a normal person would use ;)) While the iPhone5 screen looks great I personally don't like it that much, had it side by side with my N4 and the iPhone5 doesn't look "natural" to me. It looks too cold and bright I'd say, something which I don't really like, so I am a bit biased here... I rather have a non/bad calibrated N4 which I can tweak to my liking than a iPhone5 screen. The OneX screen looks just stunning out of the box, kudos to HTC!!!
[Nexus 4 General] obsanity:
I really like the N4 screen and I had the NS and then the GN before it. At first I really didn't like it because it wasn't as vibrant as an AMOLED but now I see the real problem with AMOLED displays.

What makes an AMOLED look bad with colors is the fact that they are all pentile configuration. It's as simple as that. The galaxy note is not and that is why it is probably the best display on the market right now. If you haven't seen one in person go check it out and you'll see what I mean.

For the record I really think OLED is the future and as soon as the pentile issue is solved it will be the only choice in all displays.

[Nexus 4 General] yahyoh:
did u ever heard about Gnote2 display :D
[Nexus 4 General] Tomatoes8:
Of course it does. I don't know about you guys but I would never call a circular or triangle shape screen or sliver shaped(iPhone 5) screen a quality screen because it is unwatchable for most uses. I would never call an unwatchable screen quality since the whole point of display is to watch things on it.

Similar to a mirror. A quality mirror is quality based mainly on shape and how accurately it portrays us. A circus mirror can be made of all the nicest Apple technology but you still wouldn't put it in your bathroom if it makes you look super skinny or super fat. It wouldn't be a quality mirror.
[Nexus 4 General] abufaka:
AW: Does the Nexus 4 really have one of the best displays?

idk if my vision is ****ed or if I'm just lucky, but I have really nothing against my stock configuration. came from milestone 2, iphone4s (a gift, and sold it really quick urgs.) and hox and i like the nex most.

This is one from late December batch.

not that it would proof anything but I worked half a year printing CDs with offset in a big global Player and i had to match colours perfect to a calibrated screen. I can tell you some customers are really really Pick and I'm a bit obsessed with delivering the best I can.
[Nexus 4 General] raksan:
I don't need to calibrate my n4's screen, it seems perfect for my liking... though I wish I have it a little more blue and a little more saturated. I use to use faux clock, but to be hornet it only affects a little... so I stop using it, I hate annoying contant running faux problem and alert. So far so good here, come from Galaxy Nexus :)
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Lol. You can disable those notifications in SU or SuperSU.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
I don't think display quality is bad and personally I haven't faced any issues.I am coming from a SGSII which has regular SAMOLED(non pentile).

Yeah the blacks are not as deep as AMOLED which is normal for an LCD. After my SGS2 am not going with AMOLED till the tech matures.

AMOLED blue sub-pixels decrease is brightness faster than green or red making the screen look odd after sometime. Also black areas like nav bar/status bar

are always black which causes subpixels in those areas to wear far less causing uneven screen brightness.

AMOLED's are great for first couple of months. After 8-10 months the problems start. If you don't use the screen much you want see any issues I mentioned.

However if you keep screen on for a long time you'll start to notice the wear.

About iPhone, LG supplies iPhone with their IPS LCD panel. So people who face issues might have some wrong calibration and not related to hardware.
[Nexus 4 General] :
I came from an SGS2 and have a One X and I prefer the Nexus 4, the screen is gorgeous, the whites look fantastic compared to the One X side by side, the One X screen has more vibrant colors while the Nexus screen looks exactly same as my Laptop in terms of the colors it produces. Viewing angles are better on One X but I don't look at my phone from the side EVER so its tech site nonsense! Using faux app I use 255,255,255 29,29,29 0,0,0 and had deep blacks and great whites but I prefer franco kernel so I tweaked using 240,225,215 and its great for me. I've seen the Note 2 and its good. In conclusion I think it is one of the best screen in the market even on stock settings

Me myself is quite happy with the display. Cant argue much as i came from incredibles s and the n4 display is awesome enough for me :thumbup:

[Nexus 4 General] ben_pyett:
one of the problems is our own behavior, we constantly turn brightness down or use auto brightness in an attempt to get more battery and a greater longevity from our devices, when in fact - whack that brightness up and then you'll really see the quality of the N4 display!

Each screen needs adjustment as peer your own tastes, personally I don't bother calibrating from the default as my eyes don't really know whats good/bad, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2039607
