Hi, just got the One today, very impressed with the device so far but the audio is not that great.

When I play a music video on youtube, I get small popping sounds like distortion, it come and goes.

When I turn Beats off and I try to play the same video, the sound sounds clear.

Do you think I have a faulty device? anybody else experiencing audio problems.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acam333:
I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 running stock 4.1.1 jellybean and stock touchwiz launcher and in developer options I found the option "force gpu rendering" I have noticed that when this is turned on scrolling through my home screens, app drawer etc. is noticebly smoother and some games like gta 3 are able to be run at max graphics with no lag while when this is off it struggles to run at medium graphics settings without lag. I have looked around and still dont fully understand what force gpu rendering is and I would really appreciate it if someone would explain what it is and why it makes these things smoother. I am also wondering if anyone has run into any apps that dont work or dont work as well with this setting turned on and if you could list any that have problems. Thanks

so i unlocked my bootloader, rooted my gnex, it was cool, but i liked stock. unrooted, relocked bootloader, forgot to restore back to stock. long story short, i fresh restored from the google 4.2.2 file. but my wifi connection seems to be slower, it takes hours to get apps. what did i do? i restored from a .bak file from that morning.

dhacker29, I really like this ROM and want to continue to use it, but after about 20 hours of use the screen goes dark and I have to reboot to SS. This has happened multiple times on different installs of same ROM over the past week. That's how much I want to continue to use this ROM :D Using build 98.72.16 on razr maxx XT912; installed ROM in slot 3; factory wiped, system wipe, cache and dalvik wiped. After install I reinstall apps, either with TB or Play store, tweak custom setting like quick settings and lockscreen widget, etc. The phone is stable for no more than 20 hours, I do notice slowing prior to, but then it just shuts down with no warning, during a call, etc. I have to reboot to SS to activate a different ROM and continue using the phone. Any one else having these issues, any suggestions? Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brakeb:
How does someone get a restore of their Android ID? I am wanting to update to Build 14 of Jelly Beans, and Titanium Backup (which has been awesome for backing up my ID on previous phones) has borked and will not give me the 'we noticed that you have reset your phone, would you like to restore your old ID?'

I need to restore my old ID or Slacker Radio tells me I have registered a new device and I have to wait a month before I can start storing music channels on my phone, basically wasting a month's subscription (~9.99).

I found an app called 'Change hostname', but it doesn't appear to be able to add a specific hostname, but to randomly generate a new one, which is crap...

I would appreciate any help on this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Have you opened titanium. Then press menu and under that pick manage android id
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brakeb:
yea... and when I attempted to 'Restore Android ID from backup'...

"there is no backup"

Maybe it's a TouchWiz ROM... i don't know. I know I never had this issue on my Galaxy Nexus (toro) running Liquid Smooth, and then Carbon Rom... You start up Ti-backup after a factory re-set, and boom... immediately asks you to change Android ID back to previous one...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Ya that is the normal thing. Well do you have a nan you can restore. I'm not sure if that would do it or not, but worth a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brakeb:
I gave Slacker the 'I got the phone less than a month ago' bit, and they reset me for the current Android ID. I'm stuck on Build 13 unless TiBu comes up with an update to fix this issue. Guess I can ping them...

thanks for the help...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Well at least you got Slacker fixed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brakeb:
I let it go for a couple weeks.. pain in the ass... If there was a work-around, that would be something. Like another app that would allow me to modify the ID.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brakeb:
I found "Android ID changer" but I'm a little leery to try it. I copied down my existing hostname, and made a nan backup... Guess I just need to jump in with both feet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Geezer Squid:
I think you will find that you do have a backup. It's just in a different folder than where Titanium is currently looking. Check around with a file manager and look at the dates the backups have for each file. Then make Titanium look there. Well, at least that is what worked for me when I went from Novella (an AT&T rom I was running on my Verizon Note 2) back to Beans14.

Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brakeb:
Why would titanium backup make a backup, then not look in the proper directories when restoring files? I did a top-level search of 'settings.db', and other than the one I found in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases, there is not another one anywhere...

BUT... it wouldn't be the first app that cant figure out the difference between /mnt/sdcard/ and /mnt/sdcard/0...

Does anyone have a bugtraq for Titanium backup? All I found was their Google Plus page, and while I did post there, I'm not expecting an answer...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] john:
hello,

hope you can help me with this one,

I just ordered a usb stick BT dongle class I version 1.4. with a (100 meters)

will this work fine with my MDA II?

Does it mean that i can surf the net on my device in my appartment through activesync?

what's the difference between the classes I and II?

and versions?

thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Ma9mwah:
yes, you'll be able to connect to activesync and browse the internet.

Class 1 and 2 just refer to the radius is covers (1 = 100m, 2 = 10m). The XDA2/MDA2 is a class 2 so you'll only be able to go 10m away from the dongle.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] john:

I'm no computer whiz so what are the advantages of rooting this phone as it seems plenty fast as is.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarcron:
Well, with rooting, it's pretty much like being the Admin of your computer. So for starters, you have control over many more phone functions, especially when it comes to something like tethering. There are more apps and themes and ROMs available for you to use, which will cut down on battery usage, give you a better looking set of themes, and allow you to overclock not only your processor but also your GPU.

It's definitely something that isn't terribly essential, but it does make the phone more.....yours, so to speak.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] napalm5479:
Looks like I'm rooting and is there a way to unroot in case you need to send it back to Sprint so restoring to factory settings.

Yea you can flash back to stock and they'll never even know you had it rooted or had a custom rom
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarcron:
Yup, unrooting is easy. Here's one such app that allows you to temporarily unroot or unroot completely: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en

There's several other apps like this and a lot of guides on how to do it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TBayTom:
The main reasons I'm going to root ASAP are because I want to enable an ad-blocker, wifi tether, restore some apps and disable some of the bloatware on the AT&T model. I'm going to try and stick with the stock ROM at least for a couple months. I've been using AOKP for a good 6 months on the GS3, it will be a nice change to go back to Touchwiz for a bit. (hopefully)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theaccomplice88:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TemporaryTester:
I'll be rooting on day one to use my typical suite of root-utilities (MyBackup, AdAway, and Root Explorer come immediately to mind), but I'm not sure if I'm going to go AOSP this time around. I've been using AOSP on my DHD since AOSPx existed, and it's getting a bit old.

I'm sure people will eventually find a way to unlock or circumvent the locked bootloader.

You can pretty much guarantee that Verizon will have a locked bootloader, if their previous track record is any indication.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P1NK13P13:
Verizon would have a locked bootloader on your car if they could.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott14719:
When you say transfer money, do you mean via NFC or POS terminal types of transfers or regular bank / app money transfers (online)? I also was under the impression that many apps were starting to check for root before operating due to the perceived increased security risk with phones. So if this isn't an issue now, it could very well become one in the near future. I'm sure work arounds will be found for some apps, but there will be no guarantees.

Is there any hope for getting rid of touch wiz and getting a stock android 4.2.2. OS on there?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __NBH__:
I think some banking apps refuse to work on rooted devices but some work fine.

I rooted my s2 to freeze background apps I never used to reduce battery drain. I then moved onto custom ROMs to run 4.2.2 but this is standard on the s4 so I'm happy with the OS so as long as the battery is OK I probably won't bother.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lumsdoni:
Usually I root my androids out of the box but thin I will keep this as delivered for a while. The lack of Skygo on rooted phones has been a pain and when I actually look at what I use root for, its mainly for Titanium backup. Only reason I use TB is to constantly flash ROMs and I might actually use this phone rather than continually flash ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminarcissus:
people root becuz of not satisfied by system providing. In most case if you have no idea what the app requires root for, you should not root your phone. Most security problem comes from providing suspicious app root privilege. but also if you do know the what's inside of the action, get the root access give you the possibility to optimize/customize your phone.

Are you sure it's not your ROM being incompatible?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nniicckkss:
It's not just him, I used the Barclays Ping app on my rooted phone too and it checks for root in-app. If it detects root access, then it won't continue and you can't use the app.

Personally, I'm in two minds as to root or not, hopefully I'll like the switch from HTC and Samsung TW will occupy me enough to not need to do it (for a while, anyway!). I'm trying to understand the methods of rooting and flashing stuff on Samsung as I understand it's a little different to HTC. Can you root stock and gain full functionality of the ROM - even have official OTAs (maybe have to re-root after an update, or unroot first, update, then re-root)?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipmanwck:
I have been trying to explain this ;) yes rooted phone will affect certain apps especially those to do with transferring money or any renting services.

Personally jelly bean on sammy has for me been great and although I have a rooted device now I wont be rooting my new device because of warranty and yes it is pretty easy to check if the phone has been rooted in the past even if you revert back to stock.

I was backing you up by agreeing with what you had said from my own experience because you were being doubted!! :silly: ;)

Thanks for the info. re. rooting. I was mainly concerned about stock ROM apps/features etc. not working properly, rather than third party stuff. I think I'll stay stock and try and keep away from XDA Dev sections for a while to avoid the temptation of rooting/flashing stuff I don't really need! I'm sure S4 stock is more than enough to keep me happy for a while before I have to go looking elsewhere.

Will the Verizon Galaxy S4 be able to be rooted and customized?

Is there any hope for getting rid of touch wiz and getting a stock android 4.2.2. on there? :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thermalwolf:
I pretty much believed you but was just making sure by asking if it could be the ROM. One thing I will disagree with though is checking to see if a phone has been rooted in the past. Good maintenance will prevent the best from being able to see if it's ever been rooted, nor will a company go that far usually to check as long as the phone comes on the 100% stock un-rooted ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geologistguy:
Can't you just use SU to deny those specific apps root access? I don't have this issue so I can't test that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nniicckkss:
No, the app doesn't request root access, there is no prompt to allow it access and it doesn't appear in the list. I selected 'temporary unroot' in SU before running the app and it still saw I had root access.

Anyway, this is no big deal for me. I just got involved as I experienced the same problem as ipmanwck had. I don't need to use these apps, they are just 'a nice to have', rather than essential.

:cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igoivo:
Without root one has less than 10GB for apps AND data.

With the root - you have the whole external SD (up to 60GB) available for apps and data (games, maps, etc).
