You can use Galaxy Note 2 toolkit (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923956)

i got surface pro on the first day morning. and I found this microphone problem hours ago when I first make a Skype phone call with my friend.

My friend told me that there is very loud background noise. So I make some tests with several recorder app in different room and tried to unplug power . And the noise is not caused by fan. The background noise is big enough to be noticed (very big in some sense) and sound like electronic noise. Like electromagnetic interference.

So I wonder if you guys have the same problem? or I guess I need to replace for a new one.... I always get bad luck on electronic stuff...

Could anyone try it out? thank you.
[Microsoft Surface] schettj:
Record the sound, post a clip. Frankly, I doubt unusable background noise pickup by the mic would be acceptable, so it's not at all likely all of them do this.

For kicks, did you crank up the mic boost or levels? Perhaps you just need to lower them...
[Microsoft Surface] dsdmarin:
I am having the same issues, lots of backround noise.... I am going to mess around with the mic levels when I am in a quiet location, and see how It goes. I'll post back soon.
[Microsoft Surface] NessLookAlike:
When I tried to record an audionote in (the full version of) OneNote, I noticed that there was a LOT of background noise, like the mic levels had been turned up way too much. Turns out that was exactly the case: by default, I had been set to a 24dB gain boost! Silly Microsoft.

Setting gain to 0dB and microphone level to 75 worked just fine for me.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
Hi guys, some weeks ago I got a notification from Samsung of an OTA update for my device (got Samsung account very late XD) of about 14mb. So I decided to update the phone. Everything goes well but the battery life of the phone decreased of 3 hours and more :eek: so now I don't know what to do. I updated from XWKT7 to blabla8. The battery was working perfectly until the update so that's not the problem . What should I do :confused:? Thanks for replies :)

P.S. The battery was not fully charged when I updated the phone

I've check out if random apps eats battery in background but nothing new comes with this update. The only app added as a system app is Play Books I've never opened and never runs in background.

I'm runnig the latest rom available for my country and I think flashing the same rom with Odin will be useless and would be like a factory reset.

I think the 14MB update upgrades 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 & brings in ddkq8. My ota update was of same size and it all messed up my phone and that brought me to rooting:D So basically the new update must bring in swipe to unlock and the overall glow effect and some other changes.

Flashing via Odin is much different than a mere factory reset. Try it and use the latest firmware for your region. You will definitely feel much better. Samsung optimizes each update and they're can never be anything wrong with it. It is just the ota update that spoils it.

Hello guys.

I have an sgs2 (unrooted) and today i downloaded the JB update.

After it had installed, it rebooted the phone but now it is stuck at the boot screen at the white text "Samsung SII 19100".

I let it be that way for an hour, nothing changed so i forced it to shutdown and tried to reboot but it still gets stuck at same spot.

What should i do?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdclary:
I've got the AT&T version of the S3, and it's stock, unrooted, with the most recent updates (version 4.1.1).

This morning I noticed a bug with the stock calculator that has not happened before. If I type five digits, the fifth digit is placed right after the first digit. Example: If I want to type "12,345", I'll type the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (in that order), but the display will show

instead of "12,345".

What appears to be happening is that when I type the fourth digit, the calcutor inserts a comma separator. When it inserts the separator, the cursor moves in front (to the left) of the separator, so that when I type the fifth digit, it gets placed right before (to the left of) the separator instead of at the end (right) of the number.

I can confirm this by correcting the cursor placement and typing additional numbers. The cursor is moved when another comma separator is placed.

Has anyone else seen this? As noted, at one point the calculator worked fine; this bug did not always exist.

I've tried the following in order to resolve, but none of them have worked.

Clear the calculator app's cache and data,

Reboot the phone, and

Battery pull

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Brian

I'm on Rogers so not 100% same situation as yours but I don't have the issue you're describing.

You could try playing with different keyboard settings? (stuff like "auto-capitalisation, auto-punctuate, etc...)

Good luck!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdclary:
Yep, this is exactly it. If I switch to any other keyboard (including SwiftKey 3), then the calculator works fine. Thank you!

Anyone know why the default keyboard would cause this? The calculator uses its own input interface, right?

Also, does anyone know if this has been communicated to the SwiftKey team?
[General Questions and Answers] jim.thornton:
Okay, I've just rooted my S3. First time ever rooting an android phone, so I was thrilled when Odin said "Passed" and I didn't brick it.

Now what? I've installed Titianium (Free) to backup the one app that I wanted fixed LV Sync. I only did this because everytime I rebooted my device it would delete the account that I created with LV Sync. Now after backing up, uninstalling with Titanium and then restoring, it no longer does that. Perfect.

Now what?? When I jailbroker my first iPhone I discovered after the fact that I couldn't go back because I didn't save my blobs. With everything I read about rooting, nothing said to backup first, so I decided I just did it.

Is there something that I should back up now? Is there something that I should do before anything else?

Would appreciate any guidance on this please.
[General Questions and Answers] bbrad:
Will first you need to install cwm you can probably find that where you learned how to root then you can make a android backup which backups up your whole phone even the operating system then you can install a custom ROM I recommend the latest CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly there very stable
[General Questions and Answers] jim.thornton:
At this time I don't really want to install a custom ROM. I use the phone for work and I don't really want to go through the process of setting everything up again.

Also, the method that I used for rooting it was Chainfire's method which didn't use ClockworkMod. There was a comment about it interfering with something (can't remember what though).

Is there any other way to make a backup of the phone exactly as-is other than CWM?
[General Questions and Answers] bbrad:
Not really 90% of the stuff requires cwm you can use a app like my backup pro which bakes up all your apps and contacts to your SD. Or you can just go ahead and make the jump to a custom ROM which then you can schedule regular full system backups and exsprience tons of performance increase and you learn a lot about android but if you don't want to make the jump I recommend mubackuppro
[General Questions and Answers] jim.thornton:
Well, as mentioned, the guide that I used did not show CWM. Is there a guide that I can use that will work? Will CWM work on all versions of the S3? I have the Canadian version SGH-I747M. I just want to be careful not to brick it.

Also... If I use CWM, will that allow me to make a backup ROM? Meaning, that if I install a custom ROM and don't like it for any reason or run into problems that I can put my phone back exactly as it is now?
[General Questions and Answers] 23Six:
CM allows you to do a compete backup of your ROM. I don't think that includes media FYI

Google how to install Cwm on your S3 Version which you should initially flash to device through Odin.

I believe using ROM MANAGER you can locate download and flash your recovery.

Bricking

I wouldn't worry too much about bricking your phone. most of the time when people say they bricked their phone all they need to do is restore it using recovery mode/a computer.

To actually brick your device it needs to stop turning on and stop responding to it being plugged into the computer which is quite unlikely to happen.

If your phone turns on but just doesn't boot into a ROM that is not bricked!
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I would just throw in that I have used both CWM ("Clockwork Mod") and TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) and I like TWRP better. It's not a pain to change if you decide to, but doing backups can take a while. You can get TWRP with the Goomanager app in the Play Store. If I were you, I'd recommend researching both a bit and then deciding for yourself.

[General Questions and Answers] mnishamk:
Don't worry, within a few weeks you'll probably unlock the bootloader and flash custom roms.

So first step would be to install cwm. Even if you are not gonna unlock bootloader, it will help you to FULLY backup, restore your phone and install modules.

Just for safety keep an ftf file of your stock version with you (on pc).

And do a backup before flashing any custom roms.

Just dig around a lot before doing anything and there won't be any chance of bricking it.

[General Questions and Answers] pirate6759:
you can use rom manager or rom toolbox (available in the play store) to flash cwm. then use CWM to make a nandroid back of your rom. then try new roms if you don't like them you can unse recovery to reflash your stock rom. after you flash a custom rom play store shoud reinstall you apps for you and your google account will sync your contacts so setting up your phone after a fresh install is not very hard or time consuming
[General Questions and Answers] SWRJeep:
You shouldn't have to worry about setting up your phone all over after flashing a new ROM if you have titanium backup. Just get on Google play and re download titanium, run it and reboot. Your apps and even how you at up your home pages are back to normal, but you'd have the benefits of the new ROM. I love Synergy ROM. there are a lot of good ones.
[General Questions and Answers] Sublime2:
I also use my backup pro. It's simple and works well for me.

I flash a lot of roms to check them out and my backup pro restores all my apps, contacts, txt messages every time without issue. It will even restore your shortcuts on your home screen if you'd like.

I also use TWRP. like it a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] djexacto:
As said previously, install cwm(through romantic manager) or twrp (through goo manager) (I personally prefer twrp) and make a full nandroid backup.

This backup will be your goto stock image in case you flash something else.
[General Questions and Answers] jim.thornton:
Thanks to Everyone! Your help has really made the process easy and worry free. I've completed the rooting, installed goomanager and installed TWRP and run a full backup. I'm even starting to get the itch to look at some ROMs... I guess you were right mnishamk.

I have a few questions and was hoping for some clarification please:

1. What is nandroid? I installed the TWRP and clicked "BACKUP". Is that a nandroid backup?

2. Is there a resource that I can go to that will list all of the ROMS that are available and the differences? I'm not really into tweaking a lot of things, but love smooth running/looking apps and efficiency.

3. My mom has a Galaxy Nexus (not sure which version/baseband -- does it matter). I would like to root her device.

4. My Dad has a Toshiba AT100 tablet. I would also like to do that.

I'm not sure where to find the guides for each of the devices.
[General Questions and Answers] bbrad:
1. Yes that's nandroid

2.Not really but I suggest cm10 its smooth stable and efficient

3.You can look at the thread for the galaxy nexus and there's probably a rooting guide stickied

4 Look at 3
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I might suggest not rooting your mom's device/dad's tablet. I have helped my mom set up her tablet, but I'm not going to root it unless there's a really good reason where root is absolutely the only solution to what needs to be done.

The problem is, if she doesn't understand what rooting is and what's going on, she can mess up the phone much more than get any advantage. It's not really necessary unless you have a specific goal. I rooted my tablet because I wanted to flash custom ROMs because ASUS no longer supports this tablet. I rooted my phone because I wanted to install Google Wallet. I helped my friend root her phone so she could try out custom ROMs - she is computer literate unlike my mom and understands the risks involved.

Maybe your mom is much more into computers than mine is, but I wouldn't root a device for someone who doesn't understand it and doesn't have a reason to. While a custom recovery is useful for people who want to mess with their phones, it's not something a regular user really needs to the point that the benefits outweigh the risks.
[General Questions and Answers] djexacto:
Look for a rom that incorporates the CM/AOKP theme chooser. So many really nice looking themes. Alloy ui is a favorite of mine
[General Questions and Answers] jim.thornton:
There is a specific reason to root my mom's phone. It's the same as the reason that I wanted to root my phone. That is... I installed LVSync to sync her contacts with her work Zimbra installation. Unfortunately because LV Sync is a purchased app and mounts to /mnt/sdcard0 or something like that, on reboot AndroidOS looks at the created LVSync account, looks for the app, but because /mnt hasn't been mounted yet, it deletes the created account wiping out all calendar entries and contacts.

The solution to this problem (the only one I have found) requires the installation of Titanium backup. You have to back up the app, uninstall it and then restore it.

But, the only way to do that is root the device.

Do you have another solution for me?
[General Questions and Answers] boomvausstat:
First find a recovery (probably CWM), then if you want, change the ROM, the kernel, download lucky patcher, overclock your phone and have fun :D
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I have never used this app, so I don't know what the best solution would be.

My first steps would be to ask the app support (since if they don't know this is an issue, surely they should) - and see if they have a solution. I would also ask this as a forum thread here or elsewhere to see if anyone else has ideas.
[General Questions and Answers] jim.thornton:
The app has slowed in development so new releases aren't coming out right now. However, after a lot of research this is a bug with JB. It has to do with the order in which it mounts /mnt and some new feature that is in JB.

Therefore, the easiest and quickest solution right now is to root her phone and install the app. I don't think she will wreck anything.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] [iop]wah:
Hi Guys,

I want to update my current firmware version(2.3.6-DLC1)(Stock) to the latest stock(DXLM3) firmware for my country(Philippines)but i was hesitant which firware to download.

I visited samobile.com and i was confused on what to download on the site. there where 4 stock firmware with same baseband(below).

GT-I8150 Philippines (Smart) 2012 April Android 2.3.6 I8150DXLM3 I8150OLBLD1

GT-I8150 Philippines 2012 April Android 2.3.6 I8150DXLM3 I8150OLBLD1 - for some reason no indicated subscriber

GT-I8150 Philippines (Globe) 2012 April Android 2.3.6 I8150DXLM3 I8150OLBLD1 and

GT-I8150 Philippines (Sun) 2012 April Android 2.3.6 I8150DXLM3 I8150OLBLD1

FYI, im a smart subscriber, but i also have a globe and sun sim which i usually both use, depending on my needs(sun=call)(globe=call and sms my friends)(smart=net,txt and call=1 option).

I have read that there where problems with regards to signal,etc when you have not set the right firmware specific for your country or subscriber, would it be possible to explain what is the difference between on all 4 firmwares?and also which should i choose base on my needs..

thnx in advance^^..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
I'm not really sure, but here's my guess:

The firmwares where the operator is indicated, they are "branded" firmware, containing perhaps apps that the operator requested Samsung to include in the phone. This usually go into phones offered by the operator with a service/contract bundle.

The firmware without operater is most likely an "unbranded" firmware, i.e., the firmware used by phones purchased without contract, from a 'neutral' reseller.

The problem with signal is due to incompatible baseband; the baseband is the piece of firmware that communicates with the BTS and/or WiFi Access Points. The Telecommunication Authority of a country may specify a certain behavior (out of several) regarding the communication standard with the BTS / WiFi AP (for example: WiFi Channel Selection, which 'variant' of GSM signaling used, which GSM signaling 'options' are legal, etc etc etc).

From the list of firmwares you gave, I can see that they are all using the exact same baseband: DXLM3. So, there should be no problem using any of them within your country. (Of course, you really should choose the 'unbranded' one to save you from having to deal with annoying operator-specific bloatware)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] [iop]wah:
I see..thank you so much for clearing it out..this means that i dont have to reflash a whole firmware since they are using the exact baseband.

the main Reason i posted this, is beacuse im guessing this might be the cause of why my 3g signal is not appearing and i cannot use 3g services, im currently at CM-9(RC5) and 3g is not appering even if i am already registed on the service,already tried to reregister, on/off airplane mode, reset apn, even manually set it but still to no avail..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
CM9 does not contain a baseband; perhaps your baseband needs to be upgrade.
