[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffyh:
I did a lot of reading on topics associated with "crappy sound" and there doesn't seem to be a reason as to WHY it exists. I came across an interesting post burried in a Q&A thread from sfetaz http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1921765&highlight=audio+out...

From my understanding you get crackling when there's not enough power to send the signal at the levels you want to the drivers. This makes sense cause the crackling/popping only occurs at higher volumes. Is this the case with the GS3 or does it solely have something to do with the software/firmware of ICS/JB/samsung? I'm running stock root 66 and Ultimate Ears 600 (impendance: 13 ohms, 1 kHz | sensitivity: 115 dB SPL/mW, 1 kHz). The impendance of the UEs is relatively low so there's no reason that higher impendance, lower quality earphones should be able to stop the crackling.

So I'm wondering two things...

1) Is there a compact way/reliable/no hassle way to get either a digital/analog signal from the microUSB port? There a miriad of posts but a lot seem like a nightmare or too large to carry around. (ref http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2033527) Does anyone use a DAC/amp like the Fiio E7 using a signal from the microUSB port?

2) If the output signal from the onboard DAC is too low to properly drive the headphones, how does the quote above affect this? Does supplying the mainboard by upping voltages increase the power to the DAC? I've oc'd desktops but know nothing about how voltage increases affect the circuitry on phones and don't wanna burn out my phone.

Hi. noob here.

I have successfully flashed my mt4gs to CM 9 using the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508556

So my situation is-- S-ON, unlocked, CWM, and CM9

However, I now find that I have no sound on the internal speaker. Headphones work. To make matters worse, this is a used phone, and I didn't think to test the sound before I started messing about with it, so I'm not sure if it is a hardware problem since I didn't test sound under stock. Does anyone have any thoughts about a fix? Failing that, how do I return to stock to test sound there?

Failed fixes so far, based on other threads:

-just rebooting

-3rd party volume control apps

-CWM factory wipe

-Clearing dalvik cache

-re-flashing the boot.img and reinstalling CM from the .zip
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jamdis:
Okay. Looks like it's a hardware problem. The speaker seems to be making intermittant connection. When I whack it firmly, you can hear the speaker cut in for a split second. Not sure what to do about this....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jamdis:
...and I have a sort of fix. I took off the two torx screws on the bottom back of the phone, and removed the small piece of housing down there. The speaker is held in place with adhesive and two springy clips make contact with a piece of flexible circuit material. I cut two little cardboard shims (total about 2-3 mm thick), and jammed them between the speaker and the housing to put a little more pressure on the speaker. So far works great.

Obviously not anyone's first choice for a fix, but it has the benefit of being free.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Jooosty:
What's wrong with the one!?!?!
[Galaxy S 4 General] paddylaz:
Lovely looking phone, but serious build issues involving where the horizontal speaker grills meet the screen. A lot of them (both the ones I had and also the three ive seen in my local shops) seem to have this raised screen/sharp cutting edge issue in the top left.

Also there were some superficial things I didn't like - the large bezel, the slightly awkward capacitive layout etc etc.

Anyway excited about giving the s4 a go. Anythings gotta be better than my old 4s.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jooosty:
Wow thats too bad for HTC haha
[Galaxy S 4 General] duykhang524:
Just tried the HTC One and the build quality while it is amazing the phone has nothing particular making me hyped... The display is sharp but faded. Maybe I've been using amoleds too much? The phone isn't comfortable to hold for long periods of time because of its sharp edges and the demo was already scratched in the back...

[Galaxy S 4 General] play2lose:
When I went in to pre-order my S4 I played with the HTC One display unit there, they had only had it out for a day or two...and the back was super scratched up it looked like someone used it without a case for a few years. :eek: The iPhone 5 demos there didn't look anywhere near that bad so I'm not sure what's up with their aluminum.

However I thought the screen looked great and I really loved the feel of the phone in my hands with that curved back. I'm hoping I get that premium feel with the S4 too.

(I actually switched from the HTC One X to the Galaxy S3 and maybe was one of the few, but I honestly liked the feel of the S3 more)

To stay on track: Got my email at 9:13 am. Phone has shipped and I'll be getting it on 4/25!

Had trouble finding an answer for this, feel free to link slap me if my search foo just failed...

Do I have to root my Nexus 10 in order to read from a USB drive I've hooked up to my Nexus 10 using the mini-USB slot?

I'm using a conversion dongle, a AC Adapter powered hub, and have tried a thumb drive and a WD passport. I've confirmed that all devices work with a PC as well as with my Samsung GSIII (which is running CM10.1).

Is there a setting I need to enable or is this just something I need to root the device in order to get it to work?
[Nexus 10 General] almera020:
Have you tried using the app "Nexus media importer" that works fine when im connection an usb drive. I havent rooted my N10.
[Nexus 10 General] Rabscutle:
SWEET! Thanks, it worked like a champ.
[Nexus 10 General] Medizinmann:
Hi!

You either need Nexus Media Importer (as already stated) or root your device and use stick mount (or something similar) or flash a custom rom which natively supports OTG like any ASOP/AOKP or CM10.1 ROM...:D

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
I was using a custom ROM to move the navigation buttons but last week a few ROMs added swipe Ribbons. Follow this link for a Nexus 10 screen shot with a right hand Ribbon including navigation controls (this is not my screen shot). Ribbons default to auto hide.

With the right custom ROM and swipe Ribbons I always have a full screen with an auto hide navigation bar and notifications. You can just swipe down with one finger to have the notifications display at any time. There are multiple kinds of Ribbons and they are fully configurable (content, position, colors, autohide delay ... etc).

Check in the Developers threads to see which ROMs are supporting swipe Ribbons. I use Buttered +Aroma, follow the link in my signature. I have seen some bugs but for the most part they work well and have already become part of my daily-driver configuration.

My own set up uses a right hand Ribbon for navigation contols and Sidebar for left hand app shortcuts. I had already purchased Sidebar before Ribbons were available.

Alright so I've tried all the methods I've found on here so far and even searched google for some and non of them are working. IDK if I don't have the drivers installed properly or what. Every time I try to use the Runme.bat it runs but the kindle doesn't restart or anything. Has anyone found a way to root this version 7.3.0?
[HTC Sensation] KernelDev101:
This guide is for people who DON'T or WONT install Linux to their PC.

PLEASE REMEMBER YOU NEED TO HAVE EITHER A BLANK SDCARD OR BACKUP YOUR CURRENT 1 BEFORE RUNNING THIS AS IT WILL WIPE YOUR SDCARD.

FOR COY/PASTE SOLUTION HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT WITH MOUSE AND PRESS COPY THEN IN TERMINAL HOLD THE SHIFT BUTTON AND PRESS INSERT ON YOUR KEYBOARD AND IT WILL TRANSFER THE COPIED TEXT INTO TERMINAL ;)

This guide assumes you have already installed Virtualbox if not then please go and download and install it.

Steps to take.

Make sure when you open virtualbox click on Machine then click add and go to the place u extracted the linux-ubuntu folder to.

( the linux distro is NOT ubuntu is is a VERY small distro so it is completly different from ubuntu.

the zip fle is 60Mb but unzipped its 120Mb.

ill write up a fulle guide now anyways but when you use the instructions i included you will ONLY need to write everything into terminal ( NO COPY/PASTE ) as it wont let you and the terminal will act up so just copy all commands as you see them.

when machine starts it will say USER hit enter and for password type root

NOW CLICK ON THE LITTLE USB LOGO ON THE VIRTUALBOX WINDOW AND LOOK FOR YOUR ( ANDROID PHONE AND CLICK ON IT )

THAT CONNECTS YOUR PHONE TO THE LINUX BOX YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS WHEN YOUR DEVICE REBOOTS ( IF IT DONT RECONNECT ITSELF )

type su when it asks for password type root and hit enter. now your root so now type su when asked for password type root

Make sure before you continue your terminal looks the same as below

now type

cd /home/user/Desktop/ControlBear-linux and hit enter

now type all commands 1 after the other (IF YOUR ALREADY ROOTED DON'T WORRY ABOUT THESE COMMANDS )

NEVER USE THE SUDO COMMAND ALWAYS USE su

./adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.orig

./adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp

./adb reboot

./adb shell "echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop"

./adb reboot

Now your device is rooted follow next command

type ./ControlBear

now it will do it's work and MAKE SURE you do all it asks ;) have any problems let me know thanks

Ok having problems converting will probably take me all day to get it done so for now please use existing guide. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] bibihtc:
k, thx man
[HTC Sensation] contramundi:
thanks for the excellent guide :)

i saw this works with the controlbear so i had a question and a suggestion :)

1) does this work with jellybean as well? or do i need to flash an ICS rom to my device prior to starting the guide? As the official site from controlbear mentions GB and ICS as supported builds.

2) you might wanna put in your guide that people need a blank sd (backup your data and format away :P), or an sd that can be formatted without any worries of loosing data or anything valuable :). seeing as from what i read up on the website of the creators from controlbear, your sd-card will get formatted ^^, also a wiretrick is eventually needed, in wich case people need a paperclip or a stripped down wire :) (just my thought but it might be an idea to put in there before people start flashing away and complain for loosing data or getting stuck somewhere along the line because they don't have something to perform the trick with)

anyhow, gonna try it really soon, wanna get that s-off cherry on top of my unrooted sensation cake :)
[HTC Sensation] KernelDev101:
ye forgot about sdcard lol. no this ONLY works with HTC Sensation with ICS firmware this will NOT wok on any other device

Thanks :D and thanks for adding it :)
[HTC Sensation] whohitme:
So, I tried for a long time to get S-Off and I'm still unsuccesful. I used this method and it seemed to work fine as far as driver errors. Although there was a couple of times when the phone seemed to crash after the wire-trick and would appear bricked. The QHSUSB driver would appear in the linux usb devices when that happened. The phone would not respond to anything and remain black. The only thing I could do was to take out the battery and boot into fastboot. ControlBear would then restart the process.

I'm not sure if you have any other suggestions or if I'm just not getting the wire part right still, but I'm quite frustrated at this point and close to just giving up. Thank you for any help.
[HTC Sensation] karkand:
maybe u should use the driver from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232799
[HTC Sensation] KernelDev101:
This means you are not doing the wire trick properly. You have to push it into the hole twice. Not once and many people get mixed up. I do the wire trick 1st time everytime on my phone and it is always so easy to do. PM me ill help you get it done :)
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Please let me know if I have to unlock bootloader first or should your method do this also... And have I put my mobile into fastboot before connect with virtual machine. Thankyou
[HTC Sensation] KernelDev101:
Right i DID unlock my bootloader before using my new method But some people don't but yes by all means unlock your bootloader then do the guide again. When you plug your phone into your PC make SURE you click on the little usb icon on the virtualbox window and select your phone then it will connect it to the linux machine ready for the program to continue with the S-OFF.
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Sorry to say that as I am noob I have windows 8 will I still. Be able to do it and should I have to download the sensation ics linux file from juopunutbears website as they mention to do so..please

NO Using my guide you ONLY have to connect the phone whilst it is in android to the virtual machine then DO exactly as told on 1st post nothing needs to be downloaded or added everything you need is ON the virtualbox machine already

[HTC Sensation] anonymousss:
So basically I don't need to unlock boot loader to flash ANY custom Rom :D am I right?

I just need root and s-off :d right?

Really good solution for soff as they stopped supporting windows now

The only thing I felt missing was removal of temp root

After soff if they don't remove the temp root the phone won't function properly as it in emulator mode (most probably the phone will have just status bar and black screen)
