Thank you rujelus22, your rom is the reason Im here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VeNuMuS:
Dang it..... Anyone have an extra S4 laying around?:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dbpaddler:
I just put my Note 2 on ebay as I picked up the S4 a couple days ago. Tough call with the big screen and spen. But as summer is coming, it's tough to imagine carrying it around all the time in the shorts. Will also make my trip to Hungary much cheaper on the phone bill side.

The wait is killing me bit it is going to be worth it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 510jungleboy:
Is the ROM going to be release today ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] primo523:
Lol..that seems to be the question. Good things come for those who wait...and yes, this is the 3rd time this morning I've checked this thread. ..:D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shizkoff777:
Hell ive checked about 9 times.lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mahapederdon:
I've been checking quite a bit too. The s4 is my drug of choice and the developer is my dealer. I feel for the developers doing all the work. Can't wait. Woo hoo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shizkoff777:
Fixed my bad
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
That post just inspired rujelus to release the beta earlier. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shizkoff777:
I doubt that but I wasnt trying,just being a noob
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ttrain721:
Give the man some time, he's not gonna release a broken rom. For the people not familiar with Ruj's work, it's well worth the wait. What's the big hurry for any way?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mahapederdon:
Well worth the wait. These devs do better than sprint and don't get paid. I for one am going to donate. Thanks for all the hard work guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shizkoff777:
I agree.i let the excitement get the best of me. Cant wait to be off of a stockish rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VECTUS:
Hope everyone is well! Just wanted to stop in and let you all know Ruj has been working hard and will have his tester out when he can... just be patient... for those of you who have used his roms in the past you know they are VERY detailed and technical. He only releases quality for sure... he also has A LOT on his plate... so stay frosty my friends... it be will be worth your wait... on a side note I have been extremely busy myself and haven't had time to finish my 4 project... in due time though... so hang in there brothers and sisters good things are in the future!!:good::laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VeNuMuS:
You wouldn't happen to have an extra S4 would you VeNuM? :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mahapederdon:
Thanks for the update. :beer:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
Thanks! I think what a lot of people need to remember too is that Ruj is still maintaining his E4GT Rom, which is extremely popular which presents a lot of demand. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nicklefloss:
Man this is big I think I've followed you guys on every phone I ever had... gotta love this... :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kyhassen:
Good things come to those who wait and I am patiently waiting :D when it comes it will be awesome and will be worth it. Thanks for the update and awesome work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cerj:
Yes, he just updated the Blu Kuban to JellyBean for the E4GT, rockin it right now. Looking forward to the Blu Kuban on GS4. He also has a Beta for the N7, and it is smokin.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dbpaddler:
It's kinda scary. The devs here do some amazing work for free essentially. I'm sure it's fun and challenging, and donations help I'm sure to keep them fueled. Just the basic kernel mods done to our S4's have made things smoother and faster on the stock ROM. These companies actually pay their engineers a halfway decent salary I'm sure for full time work, yet what they give us is night and day to what the devs can modify, tweak and rebuild. And this is in their spare time outside of school, work and/or families. Though I'm sure some of that suffers when they're on a roll. Just baffling at times.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cloaker:
Yep. We need to start petitioning that manufactures start hiring our awesome devs. Can you imagine what they could all do collectively 40 hours a week?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rujelus22:
There is a little more to it than that. Most corporate developers have to follow and do what the business people say. When we mess with things we can do what ever we want. Not to say we don't come up with some awesome stuff but there is a reason almost always for the things corporate devs do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] primo523:
Can you say shareholders..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dbpaddler:
That I don't doubt. Being in sales for quite a few years I often see how the tail wags the dog as sales, marketing, engineers and corporate all have different opinions, fixes and so forth. Some things just seem so basic you wonder how it either a) slipped through the cracks and was released, or b) takes 4 months to officially fix when you guys had it done in a week. Then you wonder if they ever pull from your modifications to incorporate into their work.

Safe to say, donation will be coming. Already pleased with Shabby's updated kernel and looking forward to some custom work on the rest.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rujelus22:
Ok so I had no issues today. I would say the theme is 99% done. There has been a ton of optimization and bloat removal on this. It started at 1.5GB I have mine down to 784MB. :good:

I will start the upload now so you guys can play with it and let me know if there are any issues with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] primo523:
Sweet Brown.!."I got time for that" !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mahapederdon:
Nice one. Haha. What kernel do we run with this. I'm on shabbys mdl right now. Hoping that's the one. Thanks all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] primo523:
Wouldn't the kernel be included?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rujelus22:
No, it has no kernel or recovery. It is just the ROM. You can use what ever you want. I have just used the Stock so far
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Inline:
Ktoonez literally just uploaded his kernel, check it out, dopest thing I've ever used and was obsessed with it on S3.

A super awesome BLUE rom by Venum and my favorite kernel by ktoonez coming out within hours of each other... It's a good day! Definitely going to be messing with my phone a bunch tonight.

Dear Guys, i thought I might want to share these with all of you, just incase you are deciding to do something stupid...

In the place I worked, I help my company convert devices into chinese platforms so to serve our chinese customers better... and of course other languages as well..

What happen was that, I was doing upgrades till the versions of 1.60WWE on O2 xda ii, turning them into 1.52CHT which I downloaded from O2 myxda.com

Now, got an order yesterday, and so i provide this services for my customer again, upgrading the O2 to chinese.

Being so damn comfident, I double click on the CHT upgrade program, and then walk off for dinner. Guess what happen! I have a dead deviced, and the CHT program just shuts off before I could read the ERROR message.

Back to the company, try the INDIANA JONES trick(a name I thou of which descrides a technique, that one of the guys in these forums shared on how to recover from 1.72 T-Mobile to lower versions by using two devices)

And no it did not worked, then at this point I come to realize that the version numbers on this new XDA II are 1.66WWE.

I think what happen is that, the most i could get to was att he stage of erasing the ROMs and it keeps getting stuck at 0%.

As I am typing this message, I am trying to upgrade this dead O2 into a T-Mobile 1.72WWE. and then re-use the indie trick.

Cheers

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 (AT&T) that I updated OTA to 4.1.1 a while back. I just decided to root the phone using Odin3 V3.04 and clockworkmod.tar. I tried using clockworkmod at first but couldn't get the phone to go into CWM recovery mode. It just went into stock recovery instead. Reading further, I was told that I need to flash fixboot.tar first, then clockworkmod.tar, then flash CWM_SuperUser_3.0.7.zip file in recovery mode. When I used odin to flash fixboot.tar and rebooted, it boots the Galaxy S3 logo, at&t chime, then goes black with Amber light. It will not boot fully. I then used Odin to flash clockworkmod.tar, rebooted and it also went to blackscreen.I was then able to go into recovery mode and flash the Superuser zip file and reboot but I'm still getting the black screen. What did the fixboot.tar file do to my phone?? Can I reverse this without flashing a whole new rom? I have search the forum for severalhours now with no luck. Any help would be great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
where did you get your initial information and tar? as well as the fixboot info and tar?

check out this rooting thread here on xda. the purpose is to flash cwm recovery onto your device. you then boot into the custom recovery you just installed and root from there. instructions are on the thread.

recovery mode is: vol up + home + power. release just the power button when your device vibrates
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OpusxXx:
I got it from this link - http://rootgalaxys3iii.com/root-at-t-galaxy-s3/

I am aware of the process you mentioned, but it would not work. It just kept going into standard recovery mode instead of custom recovery so I could never root from there. Thats when I came across this link and thought I needed to flash fixboot.tar first as it states. It did work! I was able to flash clockworkmod.tar and then root the phone, but what good does that do now that my phone is hosed at the blackscreen...There were two sites that said to use this fixboot method. I should have known better...

I just read your thred. Looks like my problem was letting the phone reboot. Is there any way to reverse the fixboot.tar I used? Maybe there is a 4.1.1 boot.tar that can put things back as they were?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
via the link i provided, in odin, were you unticking the "auto reboot" box?

i've used that thread method on several S3's with no problems. if you were getting a PASS message then it actually worked.

can you get into recovery now? if so, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OpusxXx:
I used that method from another site and I was getting a pass. It looks like my issue was letting it reboot. When it didn't go into CWM recovery,I used the fixboot.tar and thats when my phone would not boot past the boot screen. I still have some unsaved material and don't want to wipe the phone. I can get into CWM recovery now. Will doing a data/factory reset wipe everything? If so, is that my only option at this point? I don't want to go to factory and lose everything unless I have to.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OpusxXx:
Well, since I got no response, I did what you said and deleted everything. I still have the same problem. Phone boots to Samsung logo, does jingle and geos to blackscreen with blue light.

Back to my original question. I used the fixboot.tar and it jacked my phone where it only boots to blackscreen with blue light. Is there a fix for this???
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trza2k:
For detailed information about the problem see: http://www.jensign.com/S4Distortion/

The issue is CONFIRMED FIXED with I9505XXUBMEA firmware. I expect future updates for other regions should have this fix.

ORIGINAL POST:

Anyone having issues with audio crackling/distortion when using headphones?

It seems with audio volume above 50% using UE600 headphones i get crackling/distortion(usually on bass) that gets worse as i increase volume. I've read other reports of similar audio issues with decent head phones but not sure what the issue is.

I tried stock, cx-270 and koss headphones but they don't display the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2green514:
try the headphones on another device to make sure the headphones arent blown
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trza2k:
I've tried the UE600 on a SGS2 and notebook so far and no crackling/distortion.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innozan:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trza2k:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innozan:
maybe you should check out HTC ONE forum, since they have the same chip. Havent been back there, so im not sure if they have a fix for it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trza2k:
So far i've read 3 people have confirmed crackling issues that are bad enough that you cannot listen to music.

Details:

JVC FXZ100 and UE 600 headphones have issues with crackling relating to bass.

stock, cx-270, re0, koss pathfinder, sennheiser ie8 and CX-500 appear to have no crackling.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
My UE600 crackles at volumes 10 and above.

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 AM ----------

I was thinking this is an issue with low impedance headphones?

The UE600 is 13ohms which is pretty low. JVC's is 16ohms.

EDIT: But the CX-270 is 16ohms as well. Very strange.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
I did some more testing at a local store, and found one unit that distorts heavily above volume 7 and another that does not distort at all even at 15!

so I went to do a 1 to 1 exchange but unfortunately the new unit I got distorted at volume 7 too! and it was much noisier. So in the end I decided against exchanging.

It's a frustrating problem though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tango280581:
Ive got exact same problem using cx300 mII's. Stock buds are fine tho. Just out of curiosity what firmware you running, im on mdd.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
Mine is on MDE.

I wonder if this issue could be addressed in software? If it's a hardware issue I have little hopes of it being solved I guess...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tango280581:
Im thinking it might be seeing as our firmwares are close together. I hope so cos I use it for music more than anything else.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:

I just found out this problem! xxxk! seriously, this is not acceptable for a flagship smartphone. xxxt like this should not happen! It's crackling heavily on my UE600 and Sony XBA2VP. Its ok with the stock headphones and also my wife's UE200.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
For those with the problem, can you try one of the following:

1. Go to SoundAlive, select Custom EQ and turn 1Hz, 100Hz, 450Hz down all the day.

2. Turn on Flight Mode.

With either one of these options on, do you experience less crackling?

Thanks!

BTW can you guys contact Samsung to get them to investigate the issue? I emailed them but they kinda snubbed it off as a third-party issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tango280581:
Seems to be more when I crank the bass. I dont know how yours sounds but mines almost as tho its the jack connection. Dont know if this is relevant but looking at the earphone connector, the samsung ones have 3 bands round the jack the sennheisers have only 2. Can anyone with the crackle just check how many bands the offending earphones have round the connector.

Edit. Think I might be onto something here. Just tested my sons, there only cheapos but theyve got 3 bands, didnt crackle one bit at full volume with full bass.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
Mine is 2 bands. But unfortunately, I don't think that is the case, 'cos I tried with a 3.5mm extension (3 bands) and the crackle still happens.

I think it has to do with the sensitivity of our 'better' earphones--perhaps they are better at detecting the noise at low frequency levels. Strangely enough, sometimes when I plug in my earphones I don't get any distortion at all. Could be numerous factors in play.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tango280581:
Bugger!!! As long as its not a faulty hardware problem im hoping itll be sortable.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
In the meantime could you send an email blast to Samsung Support about this issue? There is only so much I can do to bring this matter to their attention, and for now they don't seem to take me seriously or think it's just an isolated problem. Would be great if people could spread the word about this issue so that they'll be more inclined to fix it...
