[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shasarak:
Wind noise is a bit different from traffic noise. The One has a double microphone, front and back - when noise reduction is active, anything where you get more or less the same sound in the back microphone as you do in the front is screened out, on the assumption that it must be background noise coming from a long way away. Anything that is mostly in the front mic (e.g. you speaking into it) is preserved. Unfortunately wind noise is caused by the wind blowing straight into the microphone and is directional, so you get different wind noises in the two different mics, and the noise reduction system doesn't recognise it as background.

The noise reduction system has absolutely nothing whatever to do with HDR. HDR is about being able to record both loud and soft sounds accurately. (And physically it's about two different membranes in one mic).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
In the old days of the HD2, I used to dual boot Android and Windows Phone and loved the two different user experiences.

I would love to be able to flash a Windows Phone Rom on the Note to test out, but wondered if there is another way.

What would be the best base Rom to start, I know there are WP launchers on the market, but whats the most accurate, can I get notifications, sounds, gallery, music etc....similar to WP

I know you may find this crazy as Android is the greatest, but I want to get this feeling of trying Windows Phone without actually having to buy one:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazibasit:
It will remain a fantasy... microsoft doesnt release its os roms. So you cant dual boot ur android. Microsoft could have released their os lisence for other android phones. But that would have been a risk and a lot of work to do to optimize win phone 8 for a variey of hardware. So they have kept it in nokia. Plus thesedays its not hard to get a new device than switcing os on just one phone.

Yes for usability i think win phone is easy to use than android. But android is becoming the new phone standard. So ppl will learn it quickly. Like i did a year back. I was a symbian lover before than.

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a replacement for outlook on my desktop which woulld allow me to sync my emails, contacts, events etc with my xda 2.

many thanks

ps: I must be able to sync my emails (located on the desktop) with my xda otherwise I might as well keep on using Lotus organizer.

Many thanks

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] brimful:
What I need is an app that I can install on my desktop that can replace ms outlook 2000. I want the same functionality as outlook but don't want to use that particular ms product. I'm currently sync'ing my pda with lotus organizer which is a really good prog but unfortunately hasn't got an email client built in. What I need to be able to do is sync everything that I can currently sync with on lotus organizer but with the added functionality of sync'ing my emails also.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzbang3:
Why change it? Just rendered 20 tags useless to me.

Is this going to be an ongoing thing with NFC technology? is this a once off change? Why the HELL are these things not backwards compatible (the chips, not the tags!)

Where can I find 1kb tags for the S4 at a reasonable price and what model # are they?

Ridiculous.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demlasjr:
http://tagsfordroid.com/store/2-ntag203-bundle-with-free-nfc-keychain.html

Those NTAG from their website are all working
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzbang3:
That's only a 144 byte tag though
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demlasjr:
That's still plenty of space. There are MILFARE nfc chips, but if you read the description are not working with S4, neither Nexus. I'm sure there are no alternatives yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faceless:
apparently the old tags were not spec compliant and not supported by other NFC readers.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
The old tags were proprietary and Samsung switched to non-proprietary standard tags.

Still raises the question of why they didn't use the standard tags in the first place
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzbang3:
Anyone know where I can get good, cheap tags? 1kb? under 1.30$ US per tag?

I need about 10.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_ride_4_ever:
I picked up 10 on amazon for $8.49 NFCguize I believe are the brand
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
The only time you should need more than even a 100 bytes in my experience is if you are storing data on the tag. Such as encoding "Here is a three thousand character long string" on the tag, as opposed to using something like NFC Task Launcher for automata of things like Wi-Fi/Car Mode/whatever. In which case it's just a waste of money.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarmafia:
I dont believe these new tags have that kind of storage(and its not needed btw)...and i think they wont be changing the tech now..at least not in near future..now the chip is compatible with the nfc standards..that s why the change was made..

Any chance that Samsung just disabled it at software level and it can be enabled again by some hack?

I actually don't care very much about FM*radio itself, but TMC/RDS for GPS is handy feature.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
Very unlikely.

When rooted my FM app "works" on the BCM4335 on the GT-I9500 but shows RSSI as always 0.

Most likely the FM antenna pin is grounded/disabled, just like it is on the majority of devices these days. They also show 0 RSSI.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Đonny:
Still not giving up ;). If it is grounded chances are that it can be un-grounded and connected to earphones as it should be. Well, if it is physically accessible, somebody can identify it on the board among a lot of tiny stuff, and somebody wants to violate one's warranty.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=7718618]cool4bharat[/MENTION]: Buy a MP3 player with a built-in radio. That's the only accessory that will let you listen to the radio without using the Internet as the S4 does not have a radio. And before you ask, there is no way in firmware to "turn on" the radio nor are there any accessories which will help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabrain42:
Hi,

I just got my new HTC One from Vodafone Germany. One thing that is currently bugging me is the format of the date. It's formatted like dd/mm/yyyy, while it's common in Germany to use a "." as the date seperator.

So far I only found a way to change to mm/dd/yyyy but now the seperator - am I missing something?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcdwelt:
Yes you're right, there is no "." seperated date format.

Only the ones with the Day in front are "." seperated....
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabrain42:
isn't that kinda stupid? Who's used to this weird date format - in Germany? This sucks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcdwelt:
Yes very confusing for german users. Maybe something will be changed in Future Updates...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Alazarin:
Just picked up a Galaxy S4 and am now looking at screen protectors and cases. What I had on my S2 was a SGP Ultra Crystal and Case-Mate Tough Case, which worked beautifully. So I will try doing the same with the S4, however, the US version seems to only have the black color for sale. There seems to be a White color as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJFh3YIQYQg

Anyone buy a Tough Case yet? What are your thoughts (on either colors)? Does it protect the screen (are the edges raised)? The design looks a little bit different than the S2 one in which I thought was the perfect case.

Not at all, it's just annoying to see 3 threads with moaning about 4.2.2 and every new magic buttery fix that comes weekly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
I'm trying that "fix" from some days, and do you want a true and honest opinion?

It doesn't produce any difference at all.

Probably and theoretically with that fix you should have more free ram when you opened a lots of heavy apps during a day, but it is not cause any real benefits

How people can say that with the fix you don't notice lags when installing apps? That's impossible to solve by changing heap grow limit.

On android right after the app is installed, the system generate the dex "executable" file in the dalvik cache..that is a particular "heavy" operations, as today mobile hardware, and always caused the system to lags on that occasion

Every Operating System "lags" in certain conditions, more or less. The more you use it, the more you see its limits.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
"money is money" Samsung is a business obviously, how could you not understand this?

"So you think that Samsung tried to argue and fight with AT&T and stop the bootloaders being locked for our sake?" I said Samsung didn't argue about it. I did not say they fought about it either... Of course Samsung doesn't agree with AT&T here, otherwise Samsung would lockup the other variants of the S4 wouldn't they not?

Like I said, you made the same statement I did, while you stated that you saw no truth in my previous post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
Oh I see. Initially I was on my phone so I thought the other guy was agreeing with another guy that I had disagreed with. Inception. :eek:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
Samsung needs to grow a pair and tell AT&T and other carriers no bloatware and no locked bootloaders. I think they have enough clout now to demand that. Certainly Apple does with their phone. You see any carrier logos or carrier bloatware on iPhone because I did not. I think Samsung is big enough to do that now as their phones are in demand. Notice with the s3 all carriers had same design unlike s2. Samsung demanded that and carriers did it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mike:
How many of your customers would bring up the fact that they root / mod their devices or answer honestly if asked? Many, I would think, try to keep their rooting / modding / custom roms, etc. to themselves and without their carrier knowledge. I don't want ATT refusing to fix something because I root, thus voiding my warranty, if the issue is unrelated. Some will even scam the carrier if bricked, which is not something I condone and a whole other discussion entirely.

My point is that although it is a slim number that root and use ROMs it is most likely more than the 1% that may openly discuss it with you. Also, how often does that come up in common conversation at a given store during customer service / a transaction. My guess...not often
