Hello. I seem to have a problem whenever I call when I have a headset on. Whenever I answer a call, I can not hear anything but the other person can hear me. However, when I answer without my headset, I can hear them fine. I'm currently running the latest CM10.1 (Jan. 19) with it's default kernel. I've already tried different basebands.

Try different headset. If that doesn't work you most likely have hardware issue rather than software.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Czechton:
I am running CM10.1 (10 Jan) 20 minutes ago it was working fine and I could call normally. After that, i tried to make another call and i get the same problem as you with or without a headset.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

I found a fix on another thread. You need to reboot and press a dialer button straight away so the phone makes a sound soon after reboot. This prevents the call audio issue that happens to some devices every so often.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] spirotech:
Hello my Xperia S screen, while i was listening music, shows nothing anymore.

The whole screen is only grey lighted. I was on ICS stock rom.

After the problem i flashed ICS with flashtool, always the same.

Then flashed back to GB, no change.

The system seems to run, but the display is not working.

I tried also all of the combination with the three phone keys.

Can be there the bootloader wrong ???

How can i turn on debugging, when i see nothing on screen ????

perhaps anyone can help me.

thanks from spirotech
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RISHI RAJ:
Just check wipe data cache etc in flashtool.If it doesnt help then the problem is with your screen i guess.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dwesman:
I am running [ROM] [ICS] Unofficial Multilang MIUI4 - v 2.12.29. I am unable to sync with my corp. Exchange servers. Screen keeps asking for password security. No matter what password I use, (ie. number, letters with long combos) it does not work. I am not new to the game and have set this up on many ROM's. CM7, 9, 10 and Viper rom's and still this has been the most difficult. I have looked and searched for a bug about this and would really like to get this rom working. Didn't really want to go back to MROM, but it has been the most stable for me w/ extras. Any help would be appreciated.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rpadula:
Hi guys, i've recently bought 2 Milestones (A853) with software issues (both for US$30) and decided to flash some roms. both units are 90.78 BL,

but one was on eclair while the other was on froyo.

the eclair one is now running CM7, the process of flashing the vulnerable recovery went fine.

the other one...

when it boots on the recovery, it stays on the ! triangle and doesn't matter which buttons i press its doesn't shows me the menu itens... i don't think that was a problem with the buttons, since the day it arrived i went to recovery and wiped...

there's any sort of incompatibility of the updated 2.2 and the vulnerable recovery? it's ok to flash a 2.1 sbf now?

there's something i could do using adb? reboot recovery only goes to the same screen... there's a way to start a update.zip flash from adb?

thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
The latest official update should be fully compatible with the vulnerable recovery method.

Try flashing a 2.1 sbf, check all hardware keys for functionality and try again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rpadula:
well i think my camera button is to blame.

but searching (thru google) i came to this topic here on xda:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833992 that teached me how to start an update.zip

one of the issues is that 2.2 was an OTA so it had install-recovery.sh flashing a non vulnerable recovery on every start

flashed a retail eclair sbf then a flashed vulnerable recovery sbf and let the system boot normally. Had it rooted and went superuser on terminal thru adb shell (don't know if it is important to be su, when i ended that i noticed that i was su)

you should have already on the root of SDCARD Openrecovery folder and the update.zip of OR

su
# mkdir /cache/recovery
# echo "--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip"> /cache/recovery/command
#reboot recovery

after the last line milestone will be down and boot in recovery and start updating.

hope that helps someone with issues on the recovery menu, that does nothing except showing the Yield sign or phones with dead buttons...

I love my note 2 and as with all the android devices I have used I want to use custom ROMs. However because I have an allshare cast dongle which I use regularly custom ROMs are not an option. I have not been able to find a single one that works with it. I have rooted and can get it to work with triangle away but not using a custom ROM.

Will there ever be a ROM that works with it? Or should I just give up with the allshare cast dongle?

[General Questions and Answers] ctraywick1:
I wantt to go back to college and have been thinking it would be the most awesome job in the world to actually be part of the team that "brain babies" the equipment we use everyday. I would love to be part of the team (or even myself lol) that actually draws out what the phone looks like, its internals... Everything. I would love to be able to walk down the street and see people with my "invention" next to their head. Im guessing this would be considered r&d? Where would i start or what type of degree do i need?
[General Questions and Answers] devwithzachary:
Would depend on which side you would want to come from, you would either need a degree that covered mobile device hardware and possible ARM SoC building etc.

Or a degree that looking from product design side of things, all depended on what stage you wanted to work in, as there are normal many teams working on different parts of a device (Software, hardware, look and feel etc).

You would then need to get experience, these days experience is everything, a degree is expected its the experience that get you the good jobs. So expect to work in smaller company's or interships for atleast 2-5 years before landing a bigger job
[General Questions and Answers] ctraywick1:
Im more of a technical person and your right. I know that its multiple teams that work together to build stuff. Im trying to find a school online but Im not really finding anywhere that offers much as far as cellular development. Would there be a certain name for courses or degrees etc. that i should look for?
[General Questions and Answers] devwithzachary:
Any good computer science degree should have modules on embedded systems or perhaps an electronic engineering degree.

At the end of the day the likes of smartphone designing and hardware is a pretty new field but with a good under standing of processors and SoC's as well as other hardware you would have a good bases to get a internship and learn more specialist knowledge

Anyone else experiencing this? The lockscreen wallpaper goes missing and screen turns gray. After music stops it goes back to normal. Was thinking it was trying to display a album cover and I'm just missing it...dont know
[Nokia Lumia 920] groovebiscuit:
It's trying to display the artist artwork (as opposed to album artwork). You can get this by enabling 'Connect to Xbox Music' in the Music hub settings (although I've found this screws up my music tags).

You can also use the MPAtool app available in the market to get the artist artwork for you.

Or you can disable artist artwork showing on the lock screen altogether (from the lock screen settings).
[Nokia Lumia 920] -adrian-:
Album art doesnt work to good at the moment.

i got differences in win8 and phone8 and not just the same ones missing.

but replacing the win8 ones with new media info doesnt even work. trying to download a single track of an album did the trick for me to get album art replaced for an album.

i am not sure if the system has a problem with the messed up library microsoft has there. they often have same albums twice or the taggs in the album at the end doesnt show the album name but something without (text) and it messes the app up
[Nokia Lumia 920] groovebiscuit:
That's why I turned off 'Connect with Xbox Music'. It tries to "correct" your tags and artwork using Xbox Music and ends up screwing them up in a lot of cases. If you don't use Xbox Music you're better turning it off. You can then manage all your tracks in Windows 8 (I'm using TagScanner for my tags). I then use MPAtool on the phone to grab the artist artwork. I guess if you use Xbox Music though then you're kind of stuck :(.

It's not ideal though and hopefully they will get it sorted out.
[Nokia Lumia 920] -adrian-:
Yes. On a lot of cases you see that wp is still in development.

also that i cant simply add music to My music and get it in sync with windows8 is a pain.

hope they will sort this out soon.

unforatunately i am trying to get the music all going with xbox music since bought a pass :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] ArtieQ:
Really bad, I put in my artworks manually. I think the path is like this: Lumia 920\Phone\Music\Artist\Album\ and in there I got the mp3's and artwork.jpg and it shows up in the music player but not on the lockscreen.
[Nokia Lumia 920] groovebiscuit:
The images that it's trying to display on the lock screen are Artist images and not Album artwork. Therefore what you have in your tags or artist folders makes no difference.

The images are normally pulled from Xbox Music if you're connected to that (although it seems hit and miss). Alternatively you can download MPAtool from the Store and use that to grab images for all your artists.

These images are also displayed on the live tile and in the music hub when you're playing music.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmethven:
Hi, I got my phone from o2 and the first phone I got had the buzzing earpiece problem.

I took it to the shop and they replaced it with a new one right there.

Couple weeks later I started noticing the annoying buzzing again, so I took it back and said they can't replace it but have to send it in for repair.

The verdict came back that there was no fault, when there clearly is cause making phone calls is nearly unbearable in quiet environments.

Now I want to know if I can go straight to LG to get an RMA even though I bought it from o2? What's the best way to get my phone fixed!!!

If o2 won't replace your phone then you will need to contact lg and send your phone in for repair.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zadeis:
Hello all!

I am looking to automate a couple things I do when I flash a new build of Cyanogen mod. Namely my couple edits of the build.prop.

Yes I do understand that some will disagree with me editing the build.prop, and some may say it's dangerous. I'm not here to discuss those matters.

What I do want to discuss is that I want to create a flashable zip that contains an updater script that will essentially add my changes for me before I even start Cyanogen mod and save me time and effort. I am very unfamiliar with such things and was hoping someone could give me a hand and point me in the right direction. That way I can do my own thing and ask less questions in the future.

P.S. Do note I do prefer to be taught than just handed a script with everything I want in it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elesbb:
Same here my friend same here.

But what i do to my ROMs when i have edits i wanna make is i extract the build.prop from the zip and edit what i want using Notepad++ then drag the build.prop back to the 7zip window to add it back to the zip and i flash. Simple as that :)

Now, if you really wanna get fancy, you could create an sh script that will read the build.prop AFTER flashing the ROM. It will read the build.prop, then change the things you want for you.. I dont really recommend this method as its not very simple and quite frankly im too lazy to create the sh script for myself. But i do believe it is possible.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zadeis:
Interesting... I have tried the modify then drop the build.prop back into the zip, using 7-zip even, and it refuses to do so. hence me trying to do it in the manner of an updater script.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elesbb:
You could always make a second zip containing your modded build.prop. I remember having to do this with one of my edits on my S2 cause the ROM wouldnt set itself up with the changed Build.prop.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zadeis:
Hmm maybe. I'll try using winrar to see if it makes any difference using the same drag and drop new build.prop method just to satisfy my curiosity.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly1812:
Could it be an MD5 issue since you are "modifying" the zip?

Still Charged Up
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zadeis:
Actually winrar worked. 7-zip can delete files from a CM archive but not add for some reason when winrar can do both. Not sure why but I still prefer 7-zip myself for everything else.

Though while this method does work I still wouldn't mind knowing how to add my changes via build.prop to streamline the entire process of updating CM.

7zip works for me without any issues..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AdamOutler:
UPDATE: New Jailbreak here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2118348

Here's the bottom line up-front

Samsung has inserted code to blacklist our baseline and mitigate our exploits in the bootloader patch they began pushing out last night. You will need to flash the updated bootloader baseline and stock pit in order to restore your device to operational status. The How-To Unlock your Bootloader thread is invalid at this time.

Going Forward

I need your help with CASUAL. In order to mitigate this problem, I began working on a CASUAL update system on January 13. If you feel inconvienced now, contribute to the Casual Update System beta by testing it. Currently, CASUAL is dumb. If there is a problem you won't know until after you flash. The idea behind the Update System is to either update the CASUAL to work again, or kill-switch it and automatically bring you to a thread like this one. Obviously it's infinitely more helpful than a simple failure and I need testing on Windows, Linux, Mac and firewalls.

The CASUAL Unlock method will be updated when we figure it out and it will be possible to auto-update or do a helpful kill-switch in the next version.

Addressing Security Patches:

Recognized Developer Ralekdev has began work on a new exploit. It's not going to be as simple as it was before.

Bootloader Blacklisting

You can view the updated code here: http://pastie.org/private/zzfhwlrgeeuzweiccjdpvg#22

Previously, Odin Mode would accept any SBOOT with the proper signature. Samsung has implemented a blacklist which causes properly signed flashes to fail if they are contained in the blacklist.

bytes_to_hexstr(BL1_blacklist_str, base_addr + 0x1BF0, 16);
if ( !strcmp(BL1_blacklist_str, BL1_blacklists[i]) )
{
sub_43E03A00("BL1 of the blacklist - %s\n", BL1_blacklists[i]);
return -1;
}

The old bootloader contained random ARM hex data "CD D2 04 85 63 83 52 7C C9 8A 97 1A CD 30 78 FB".. The new one contains an identifier "EXYNOS_4412 1220". The new bootloader is also programmed to not be able to flash itself.

Non-Header Code Execution

You can view the updated code here: http://pastie.org/private/ryxaraypnnhbmtt6nswvq

Previously, if the ANDROID header was missing from the kernel, SBOOT would execute the partition as raw ARM code. This allowed Ralekdev's exploit to jump into the SBOOT.bin and execute download mode without security checks. However the code has been replaced..

if ( !memcmp(v5, "ANDROID!", 8) )
{
*** DO NORMAL SECURE BOOT ****
}
else
{
dprintf("Could not do normal boot. (invalid magic)\n");// this is where we exploited it last time to load my code
s5p_start_download_mode(v9);
}
return 0;
}

So obviously, this execution of arbitrary code exploit has been patched.

Conclusion

We are working to bring a new exploit and make it easier that the last one. Ralekdev will be analyzing and working on a new exploit. I will work on deployment techniques. For now if youre having problems, flash back to stock and root your device.

Re: DO NOT ACCEPT OTA UPDATES!

Obviously you're fine. Stay where you're at.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
That was funny!

Here is the part about the OTA that is being left out.

If you look at the OTA it wont execute the updater portion of bootloader until the end.

The first thing the OTA does is examine the partitions, files, etc to see if they have been altered... If the checks fail the OTA just quits with error 7 (or 8 I forget). When it quits nothing flashes. This will occur on pretty much any custom ROM unless you edit the OTA to bypass the checks (see next line)...

I'm not saying be stupid and TRY to flash the OTA on a custom ROM but I built an L4 base last night with the OTA so you really dont need to anyways. To do this I had to remove those checks I just mentioned.

This thread should be sticked in two forums, this and general, because people thinking about rooting and on the edge need to do so now before the stock ROM forces the OTA!

But as far as a custom ROM accepting and succesfully flashing the OTA? Pretty much zero to none. Trust me on this ;c)

I'm 1/2 tempted to flash it, then to take the phone to Verizon (as instructed) and cancel my goddamned service right there. There is NOTHING in my contract saying that I can't flash custom roms so this is just a malicious attempt to brick people's phones on Verizon's part.
