Do you care to share your settings I have alsa mixer also but I don't mess with that stuff. Voodoo sound helps but mic could be louder . I appreciate it if you can pm me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] larryf:
I'm interested in any recommendations for a headset to make voice conversations LOUDER... Wired or wireless, voice quality is good enough, and I do need a mic. Battery operated would be ideal.

I frequently call a 'help' line that usually gets transfered overseas, and I can't hear a thing in a noisy computer room. Local calls work fine, but once they transfer the call I can't hear very well at all.

The inline amps discussed here would be an inexpensive option, but I don't think they work with a mic. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Have you considered a custom ROM. Several of them will boost call volume.

He can do that with a kernel.Roms that have a kernel as package can boost your volume.I have boosted a bit my speaker and the earphones like full boost! You cant stand to listen music after 20 minutes!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] glowboi:
Okay so me, my friend, and brother all have bell note 2 and unlocked no problem with the hidden menu.

My friend recently got a note 2 off craigslist but it was 4.1.2 so i downgraded it to 4.1.1 since some menu option where missing. all the menu options were there and i assumed it unlocked. So i went and flashed clean rom, and inserted his sim card and its not unlocked and saying only emergency phone calls. i reflashed it to stock 4.1.1 and attempted again and again. and searched forums for a similar problem but i havent been able to come across any. So far it seems like it works but then i put a foreign sim card in and now it says unregistered sim. but in my note 2 its fine.

Please help it would be so great ive been trying different methods and theories of my own for 5 hours LOL. thanks in advance.

Better to ask in a non sprint/cdma sub forum to get your answer. Sprint/cdma doesn't use sims like gsm.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adzjwarner:
Evening all..

So I've had a quick look through the forums, and not really seeing much about this...

I'm finding that the stock album/gallery app, although brilliant, is really annoying me! When you load the app, it shows the "Pictures" tab.. which appears to be ALL images it finds on the device (regardless of '.nomedia' files exising) The thing I'm finding the most annoying about this, is if I send someone a photo on whatsapp, or they send me one, it shows in this pictures tab. So If I take a picture, then send it to someone, it shows up as a duplicate image. A bit frustrating because I like the app!

Has anyone found a way of making it respect .nomedia files? Coming from CM10.1 on my old phone, so used to seeing it all in different folders.. can't remember if they were hidden before or not..

Thanks!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJFliX:
Yeah, I was thinking about where I would store white/blacklists for media if I would be ignoring the tools that have been given to me by Android OS (given the fact that they are ignoring the .nomedia files). As my phone is not rooted I am not able to explore the sqlite databases, but maybe someone with a rooted phone could have a look? It's a long shot, but it's worth trying :). I'll be rooting my phone as soon as it's possible without unlocking the BL (and I know I might be waiting for a loooooong while, but it happened with the Motorola RAZR, so I figured as this device is officially unlockable developers might be able to find an exploit sooner?).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechGuru_x10:
There is. Nomedia file in demo video folder try that file out.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adzjwarner:
First thing I tried, thought maybe I was making the .nomedia file incorrectly. No dice i'm afraid!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
.nomedia should work, but it might take a while before the media library does a full rescan. Reboot the phone, connect it to PC and move a file to it, ... Those things could trigger it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
Nomedia works until you add another photo to that folder
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantom4u:
the same thing is annoying me!! i came from s3 and i was using a custom rom with i don't know which album type... i've been looking all over the place for a solution or a way of porting the album from another rom or the phone!! is there any?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zunido:
I also like the Album application and wish it gets "fixed"

Sony disregarding the ".nomedia" files is weird, since its android's standard way of dealing with media, although the ".nomedia" files are a really bad solution in itself since they provide no configuration options: Either you have media scanned or not (I hate having album covers appearing mixed up with my photos in the gallery, but cannot add a ".nomedia" file since that would make the system not find my music). Adding files with a specific key name in a folder manually is not a user friendly way of managing what folders to scan.

I always wondered why Android does not provide a system level interface to define what media to scan and where.

PS: The N900 provided a file where the scan paths and supported file types could be configured. I feel like android gave a step back in this regard comparing to maemo/meego.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hijagdeep:
Have you guys find out any way to hide images from Sony album app..?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
If you have a folder with pics which you don't wanna see in album app:

create a text file on PC with name .nomedia without content (nothing before the point!). Then move the text file in to this folder.

Hmm or is this only for songs??!^^ you have to try

You can also use apps to hide pics or videos like keepsafe or something.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hijagdeep:
This .nomedia method works till we add new picture to that folder..

After that , new image copied to that folder, shows in album app..

Sent from my Xperia ZL
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gripfly:
Aha, ok.

And then you have to delete .nomedia and take it again in? Or doesn't will hide again?

And when you restart?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hijagdeep:
We have to clear cache of album and media storage everytime to hide images in album app

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleemLDJ:
This super annoys me to. In fact a couple of things annoy me with the app.

Here is my wish list for the Sony Album app.

1. That upon opening, it should start with the "My Albums" tab

2. That there be an option to sort photos other than date.

3. That when I want to select a wallpaper form my album app right from the home screen, I am not bombarded with the whole long list of 5000 photos. It should present me with folders to choose from.

4. If it wants to stick to displaying the "Pictures" tab as default upon opening, it should at least start with displaying only the camera album. Then a small shortcuts to enter all folders at once.

5. If it wants to stick to sorting only by date, it should at least follow the exif data of pictures. Sometimes after flashing a new ROM, I find my taken pictures in wrong orders. Most recent at the bottom and old ones at the top.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Having just got the Nexus 4 wireless charger and looking at the plugs that come with the phone and wireless charger I am questioning using the usb wall adapter for the wireless charger directly with the phone. The amperage is different from the two plugs,

the phone plug is 5.0 volts at 1.2 amps

the nexus 4 wireless charger plug is 5.0 volts at 1.8 amps.

Just wondering how much the 0.6 amps will degrade my battery over time if I choose to use the wireless charger plug say for traveling because I only want to bring one plug and may use both the wireless charger and directly plug the phone into the usb cable.

**edit

From Nexus 4 Manual

"Use only the travel adapter and micro USB cable that come with your Nexus 4. Using a different travel adapter or cable may damage your phone"

From Nexus 4 wireless charger manual

"Use on the power adapter and micro USB cable that come with your nexus 4 wireless charger. Using a different power adapter may damage your phone or reduce charging efficiency"

It also tells me that the output is 5.0 volts at 1 amp

So basically this is telling me it will "damage" my battery over time if i use the wireless charger adapter with the phone directly via a USB cable?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
The N4 only draws around 0.8A max. So both the stock charger and the wireless charger will never use their full current, because the phone will never draw more than 0.8A anyway.

Chargers don't "push" current, the phone is in control and "pulls" what it needs.

You will not damage your phone.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks you, never knew this
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmSixNine:
Also keep in mind the additional 600mAh is probably to make up for the loss of current thru the inductive charging process. wait, is it inductive? brain fart,, either way its probably meant to compensate for the fact that there is no direct link to the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leader288:
If you read around, you'll find out that inductive charging does produce quite an amount of heat, its not as effective as direct charging, the conversion rate is around 70%. Hence the extra 0.6A to compensate for the loss of energy via heat. The efficiency of most wireless chargers is a little more then 70% (70% of 1.8A is 1.26A)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feihu989:
Acutally the conversion rate could reach around 75%, the heat is very low if you put the phone on the right place. Actually different wireless charging pad requires different input working current, but qi standard do required a 2a input ability.:o
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not a nexus 4 user but u do use the wireless charger. Did you use any app to measure that 0.8 mA current drawn from Nexus 4? On S4, using galaxy current app i got 640 mA on 3rd party receiver at back of S4. I wonder what is the actual built in wireless receiver on Nexus 4 able to take?

I was also able to replace the music app with google play music and I got google now working in there. As for the wallpaper not displaying, I haven't figured that one out yet. I get some java runtime exceptions being bounced at me which I think is the source of the problem, but as of right now I don't have a solution. I may have an updated build up sometime either today or tomorrow. Thanks to those who have tested this out so far!
