So have I tried several different 4.2 roms and DSP, awesome beat, acid audio, all with the same results. When I initially install google play music the sound is great, as soon as I advance the track or power cycle the rom, the same eq settings are giving me an over driven result. Lowering the volume doesn't have any effect and only a near flat eq will kill the over driven sound.

I have seen people slammed for for running to much bass boost and this is definitely not the cause in my case. With some roms I can wipe the app data and force closing google music will fix it for one song. Is this a known issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dB Zac:

Well when I was running Aosp I was using the 4/5 rootbox nightly with KT kernel and kingbeatz. You can find king beats by googling kingbeatz s3. Remember to fully wipe and stuff so there no problems. Have great sound. Also use faux audio control

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 53fireman:
Anyone else think that the lowest volume setting is really loud for ringtones? I was using a song ringtone that I transferred over from my EVO4G and it's really really loud for the lowest setting.

On another topic, I then sent it to my computer to try to edit it using a sound editor, put it back on the phone in a Ringtones folder like before, and now it doesn't automatically appear in the list. I hit the + button at the top, select the track, and then get an error that HTC sound set has forced closed and do I want to send a report to HTC. Now every time I try to even change the ringtone, it force closes. The only solution is to change the name of the Ringtones folder.... any ideas as to wtf is going on?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] USMC retired:
hmmmm

Did you maybe change the format of the song when you edited it? Like from MP3 to whatever else, I did that once, I would look at that.

Mine is loud too, but I like that cuz i'm almost 60 lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taker888:
HTC Sense 5 gives you up to 9 recent apps in a grid to switch and remove from. OK, now coming from ios, iPhone gives you unlimited as it seems. My question is suppose you have more than 9 recent apps open, how do you get to the rest? Does sense 5 starts to replace what's already open to make more room? Even though most times I wont have more than 5 apps open anyway, but occasion if its a busy day I will surpass.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Turin87:
I am curious about doing an internal data wipe before flashing a new Rom. I am using TWRP 2.5.5. I am on the 4.2 bootloader and am about to update to the new CROMi. I know that doing a factory reset wipes dalvik, cache, and system, am I wrong in thinking this still leaves some stuff left over on your internal SD? If it does, I want to format all of it. I have the 4.2.1 bootloader, the CROMi rom, and a 4.2.1 stock nandroid backup I made in TWRP all saved on my external SD. What I dont understand is if I format all the data on the internal, how will the tablet know what to do when I boot it back up? Will TWRP be lost? If it does boot back up, what will it boot back up to? I just dont quite understand this internal SD formatting thing so well, so I am asking for some help so I can avoid doing something stupid. I know this is possible because I have read about other people doing it in the CROMi thread, I just want to make sure I am not missing anything
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Your tablet has the following partitions (and some others which are irrelevant for this discussion):

- Bootloader

- Recovery

- Linux kernel

- Cache partition (/cache)

- System partition (/system)

- Data partition (/data)

The internal SD card is an emulation that uses /data/media as storage. So if you format /data, that removes all user data including the contents of your "internal SD card" emulation. I don't know why the normal "factory reset" somehow deletes only the rest of /data excluding /data/media. It may be convenient but not what I would understand as "factory reset". :)

If you format /system (which is not touched by a factory reset), you won't be able to boot Android unless you install a new ROM before you reboot. You don't need to format /system, it's done by the CROMI installer anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Turin87:
Aweomse! Thanks for helping me understand that a little better. My first ROM was CROMi 3.4.4 and I researched all this for about an entire week before I started this but I never fully understand the difference with formatting internal SD and factory reset. I have always installed the new ROM before rebooting anyway but it is nice to know CROMi does the system wipe for you. Didnt know that. If I were to do a complete wipe, would I need to install the most recent 4.2 bootloader prior to installing CROMi so it is there for CROMi to build on?

Oh, and btw your Kernels for CROMi are outstanding.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
There is even official TWRP documentation about wiping: http://teamw.in/whattowipe

(I personally have never used any of the wipe options so far, so I am just repeating what I read about it)

There is no "wipe bootloader" option, so there is no need to reinstall the bootloader. Wiping the bootloader would also brick your device and you would need nvflash to recover.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Turin87:
Good to know. Glad I didnt attempt that. My firmware version was .30 so nvflash was not an option for me. Thanks again for your help.

I got my One yesterday and i am noticing that the phone heats up using it for more then 5 min or so. Enough to feel hot. Mostly when using chrome. battery lasted for 12 hours with playing with it little bit. Is it something normal for this phone or its replacement time?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Rabia:
after i had a broken gsm piece after a failed rsu upgrade & after nearly reading the whole forum following leads & threds which none have worked i had an idea, to begin with you should ask your self a question, this is a SW upgrade so why should it stop me from upgrading again, even if i delete the file & replace them why doesn't it try to write the other file, why is it alway 1%, theortically i thought it keeps stopping on 1% because this has the SW piece to open the rom or what ever it stores the GSM unit in, after it unlocks this place it puts the 4 popular file in it, when you screw up in the middle of this process you actually **** up the unlocking method so no matter what you try it will still be write protected because when this file was intiated in the first place & the reboot happened this file got parmenantly damaged or maybe its not a file its a memory address, i tried something intillegent like i made 2 copies of rsupgrade.exe in windows directory with diffrant names then tried upgrading and after getting to the 1% death message i went back to explorer & initiated the other file will guess what it didn't work BUT the second file didn't stop on 1% it stopped on 5% this is the nearest i got so far & can pass that %tage yet but its a lead for more professional people to try something more professional
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Chief_Lee_Visceral:
Rabia,

I am in the same place you are with the 1% death. I have used the delete the "/Startup" rsupgrade.lnk method as posted elsewhere many times to no success and I believe you working theory is correct.

The target radio files cannot be replace with the upgrade, or downgrade or anything else ones. I am new to the forum but I am guessing that this is why there are posts here about the danger of an RSU upgrade as opposed to a ROM upgrade.

I have SD bootloaded every ROM I can find and this does not seem to make any difference with the problem of getting the radio load to complete.

Should have done more due deligence before I downloaded the exe upgrade from Tmobile and trusted them to know what they are doing.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Do not go near cwm on the prime. It only ever worked on ICS and will brick you if on different.

There are 3 versions of TWRP. ICS, JB (4.1.1) and a custom one we use for 4.2.1. You must flash the correct one for what you are on or brick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AbandonShips:
Okay, so I was looking to flash a rom today, and I decided on Paranoid Android. So I flashed it, and then realized I had flashed an old version (I don't know which, because they label everything as just 2.+ or 3.+) So I said, no biggie, and I downloaded the 3.+ version for the Galaxy S3, and flashed it.

And then after a reboot.. I'm still on 2.+

I don't know why, I flashed 3.+, but the boot screen said 2.+ so I said.. hm, that's weird. The wallpaper I had chosen before I reflashed was also there, as well as all the options I had messed around with.

BUGS:

Keyboard doesn't work and notifies me on bootup that the process has stopped working

HOME BUTTON DOES NOT FUNCTION

I can't find an option to enable soft-keys. There was a picture on the official thread of a G3 with soft-keys on Paranoid Android. Dunno if shopped or real, though.

I would post this on the official thread, but you know, XDA thinks that I'm not experienced enough to ask questions about bugs in the development section, and told me to post here. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] AbandonShips:
Oh, okay, so I went to flash again, for the third time, and Clockwork gives me this error, then aborts the installation.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Juvenall:
In terms of experience ruining, game breaking, regret inducing, where-is-my-receipt sorta problems, nothing as of yet. I've only managed to come up with a tiny list of minor annoyances (like the position of the speakers and accidentally hitting the back button while in landscape), but nothing that's pushed me over the edge. In fact, of all the Android tablets I've owned (Xoom, Nook Color, Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Nexus 7, Transformer TF300T), this is hands down the most useful and practical I've owned.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] GGWC808:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] iamnohs:
I really like tee tablet and it is a considerable upgrade to my N7 in every way, even without considering the s-pen functionality.

But since you asked for quibbles, here are two....

In my experience, the IR blaster weak enough that to call it a "blaster"us misleading. More of an "IR crawler".

If you are a really big fan of Hulu (I've met one person), the Hulu app has a framerate stutter at the moment (but the ads are silky smooth).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] UsagiMimi:
After nearly a week of use I have no real quibbles. The biggest one is I hate the stock lockscreen but that... that is changed easily enough. So far the device is very responsive and snappy, has less lag with pen input than my note 10.1, and the screen while not the highest resolution by any means looks very, very nice!

How is the gaming performance of Note 8? Can you play all latest games with out any lag with good frame rates?

Also how is the battery life?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] FaeMinx:
The mali400 is the only thing i'm not so happy about. (Oh, and the lack of camera flash).

I was hoping that the note 8 would be a complete upgrade in every area over my HTC Sensation.... But from what I've been able to gather - the Adreno220 in my Sensation is superior to the mali400...

I haven't been able to find any real world evidence of superior performance online though... I guess I'll just have to wait till I actually have a Note 8.0 and do the tests myself.

Would love to hear some feedback regarding the Mali 400.

My feeling is that with current software it's not really an issue. But I fear the note 8.0 / Note 2 will start showing the age of their gpu in the next couple of years.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Juvenall:
Every game I've thrown at this thing has done just fine. I'm not sure what a good benchmark game is, but I've not noticed any issues, lag, or performance issues in any title.

That very much sounds like your tablet is defective. Hissing is usually a failing componentof some sort. I would take that unit in for an exchange.

I picked one up over the weekend and noticed a creak in exactly the same area, It makes the sound only when I put extra pressure in that area. Have you exchanged yours? I don't want to go through the hassle if it's normal. I've had to for 24 hours and will continue to check it out but I'm loving everything else, who would have known I'd like an 8 inch tablet this much after having the Nexus 10 a few times.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hertsjoatmon:
I dont get any sound from mine but it does get noticably hot in the bottom left side when im gaming (did a long session on Shadowgun deadzone this weekend). No performance issues from an extended period of play and the CPU was showing around 40 degrees (in 20 degree ambiant room temp). Not sure how warm the GPU was getting. I'm wondering if it was that that was getting really warm as its older tech being pushed to its limits...

Had to run the game on the lowest graphics settings though (recommended). Tried medium quality and noticed a bit of stuttering which is not acceptable when playing multiplayer online, so reduced it back to low. This could have been lag issues, but I didnt want to run the risk as i dont like to lose.

On the whole I'd say the graphics in most of the games I've run are good and the performace is smooth though. Just a very warm, almost uncomfortably so section of the screen when under strenuous use.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ual4720:

Ever since i have Note 8, my Note 1 was relegated to phone status - I even partly lost my OCFD drive (Obsessive-Compulsive Flashing Disorder), switching from nightlies to weekly update cycle. Probably all depends on usage pattern, for my needs one operative device is enough, so 2 tablets and phablet could be a slight overkill. Why Note 8 instead of 10? I needed portability more than bigger screen, plus newer hardware plus micro-USB socket for charging (instead of the strange Samsung adapter). The only issue I have with Note 8 now, is the damn thing won't leave me for a second...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Jadefalkon:
Lol, I know what you mean about OCFD it has been part of my weekend fun for months. I also purchased the Nook HD+ this week from to help with that. It does not have many roms out but hopefully that will change with the new price point.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hertsjoatmon:
While I dont have 2 notes, I do have a 10 inch tablet and the Note 8.0. I also got the note for portability as I've been wanting a strong performing 8-9inch tablet for about 2 years now. As soon as I heard the note was being released I was sold. I was originally looking at a 11inch laptop to draw with. Something like sony's vaio option, but that went out of the window when the note was announced. It's now with me 24/7.

I would most likely use a larger tablet to draw with at home if I had one with that capability, but anything 10 inches or above is just not practical to carry around in my opinion. As such I've almost not touched my old tablet since getting this new one. Its relegated to viewing comics, downloading torrents and connecting to my tv via HDMI.

SNOTE refresh issue on note 8

just recently added the note 8 to my note 2 and note 10 set (i know ridiculous isn't it getting all of them)

the idea is that i want to see if the 8 would replace my 10

so far, no issues except a nussance using the snote app

everytime i open the app, it says refreshing and takes about a minute each time.

this is frustrating since i'm used to quick access on my note 2 and 10

all my notes are synced and the note 8 is the only one that does this

has anyone been facing the same issue ?
