[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkeny_5:
Anyone facing distorting sound for In call sound and loudspeaker?

Below are the complaints registered at Samsung:

I have received my second replacement of Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 but to my no surprise the replacement handset faces the same issue.

I have even changed my sim card from Vodafone while using the first handset. I checked with other sim cards too but it still has the same problem. So i'm pretty sure its got nothing to do with the network.

I also received the firmware update through OTA updates in the new handset and the previous handset but there was no difference.

I would like you to look into the matter with uttermost urgency.

My previous two complains were as follows:

"" My previous complain was attended at the service center and I have got the replacement for it. But unfortunately I'm facing the same issue in the new handset. I'm told to visit the service center for the same , again.

Can you please look into the matter with urgency.

My previous complain was as follows:

" I bought the S4 few days back... from the second day onward I have been facing distortion sound in both the receiver and loudspeaker. I have approached the service center for a replacement. But while I was there I noticed another S4 having the same problem. Also a friend in Uk faces similar problems. I have left my handset there at the service center for testing.

Is it that all S4 face the same problem? "

Please look into the matter asap. ""
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkeny_5:
My 2nd replacement handset also faces the same

Has anyone yet faced this issue?

I have received my 3rd handset which also faces the same distortion problem in the receiver during calls at full volume.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
Hi guys,

At the beginning of this year, I flashed the phone from vr 3.0 to ics:-

Rom: ICS

And' ver: 4.1.2

Baseband: i9100XXLS6

Kernel: 3.0.31-462349 se.infra@sep-111 #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 6 02:42:23 KST 2012

Build No: JSO54K.I9100XXLSJ

It ran okay, although now and again the phone would freeze for a couple of seconds, but then continue working fine. But over the last month it has developed the following problems:-

1. Freezes and reboots on a regular basis

2. On many occasions after reboot, battery goes from a good 90% to suddenly 10-20%

3. Even with a different battery from a friend's s2, the phone still does freeze/lock.

I have ordered a brand new battery (2000mAh) from orange, but whilst i'm waiting for that to arrive, I would like to reflash to whatever you can recommend. I want to preferably go back to the latest orange brand fw and see if that resolves the problem.

Could you please clarify the following for me?:-

1. How do i fully backup everything (excluding rom!!) and how do i restore it?

2. Is the latest Orange FW Version 4.0.3 which was released on jan 2013?

3. Once reflashed, how do i root it too?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
1. U can use Titanium Backup to fully backup all ur apps and their data. As for ur personal info (like contacts, messages), u can find many apps in the Playstore (like Super Backup).

2. Check sammobile.com to see.

3. There are many guides here on how to root ur device. Different firmwares have different methods. So I can't really say which unless I know what ur gonna flash. :)

Thanks very much immortalneo.

I checked the sammobile.com site and found the I9100PBVLPE_I9100PORALPE_ORA to be the latest firmware for my orange uk mobile, which i believe is ICS 4.0.3 fw. Now how would i root this fw?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Yes, it is the latest firmware. You can root it easily using ExynosAbuse (search again). :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
thats absolutely brilliant! thanks!

btw, i can't use titanium backup as the phone has not been rooted, so i'm using super backup to backup all apps, sms, contacts etc.

i will let you know if i have any issue :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
hi again mate,

i managed to reflash the original 4.0.3 fw onto the s2 and although this seems slower than previous ics, i guess i'll have to try it out and see how it goes.

i've ran into a problem with ExynosAbuse though. When i click on "root device", it says "FAILURE: Could not root device". Any ideas why? what fix should i use?

Also what is a fast firmware that doesn't have too much bloatware and allows a good battery life?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
Hi again,

First of all, I would like to say thanks for all the help and advice. I really appreciate it.

After flashing the orange stock rom, I found that the phone was still freezing, rebooting and battery losing it's charge. I have now got a new battery for it and that has resolved these issues which i'm very happy about.

Unfortunately, the phone is still jerky and even my new

budget ZTE Blade III

seems to be more faster/smoother than the S2!!

I have tried numerous roms and they all seem to be jerky.

I want to know the following please:-

1. Could it be a ram/cpu issue?

2. What rom would you say puts the least pressure on ram/cpu? Can you recommend one?

3. How do i put on the recommended rom? Odin or a different method?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
BUMP!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Maybe.

2) No. Rom recommendations/threads are forbidden here:-

A) Because there's hundreds of them on here already.

B) Your experience of a rom or kernel will not be the same as mine due to different phone setup & use.

B) Given how easy it is to flash roms & kernels/backup/restore with CWM once you've rooted your phone, there's no excuse for you to not try out a bunch of roms until you find one that works well for you. If you try a rom & you find you don't like it, you restore a backup of your previous setup in 5 minutes & either try another rom or stick to your previous setup.

3) The flashing instructions for a given rom will be on the first page of the thread devoted to that rom. Most custom roms are flashed via CWRecovery, a few have Odin flashable versions. Most stock roms on the other hand are Odin flashable, tho people here have also made CWM flashable versions of some stock roms.

The advice is to read read read read read read. Not doing so is the number 1 cause of busted phones on here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
Thanks very much MistahBungle.

You see, I've already tried loads of roms and I get the same problem, i.e. the phone apps work flawlessly, but there is a lag when i scroll through the home screens. I thought it might be the bloated orange stock rom, so tried villianrom, neatrom and many others. I tried to also clear the ram, just incase it's a lack of memory issue, but had no luck.

Can you recommend anything else?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
*coughs*

Didn't read 2) eh ? No. I won't recommend you a rom. Because it may not solve your problems & you won't have the same experience as me.

Edit - Oh. Right. 'Other' recommendations. Well, the lag you're talking about (in my experience) seems to often be kernel related. Perhaps try a bunch of kernels rather than roms ? 'Clearing' ram will often make system lag worse. Android does a pretty good job at memory management, so there's no need to 'clear ram'. You may notice that Android often doesn't leave a lot of 'free' ram, this is by design. It tends to reserve free ram for 'itself'/system processes in case it needs it at short notice, this is somewhat normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
sorry mate, i think you've misread what i'm asking...i'm not asking for a rom recommendation, but i want to know if there is anything i could do to improve the scroll lag/jerk effect?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep - read my edit.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
Good idea, thanks very much. Although i assumed that a stock rom would have a good kernel.

Is it hard to install a kernel on an unrooted phone? FYI, I plan to install Neatrom (apps removed) it comes with Kernel: XWLSS-v5.00.4-PhilZ. Don't know if this is any good???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Some kernels have Odin flashable versions, some not. Personally speaking, I'd prefer rooted & flash via CWRecovery because its easy.

Can't speak for that particular kernel, never tried it. Never tried the rom either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
Cheers buddy.

Hopefully once i flashed Neatrom using Odin, then i should be able to root it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
FYI, u don't need to root NeatRom, as it is already rooted.

And Philz kernel is the stock kernel itself. If you want to try a different kernel than stock, try Siyah or Dorimanx. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
sounds way too complicated to change the kernel as i've never done it.

if i install neatrom and assuming it's still giving me problems, how do i change it's kernel to the ones you've mentioned?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
No no.. its not at all complicated.. just make sure u don't flash the wrong kernel, that's all (read instructions carefully)

If ur on NeatRom (which has a custom CWM recovery), its very easy:

1. Download the correct custom kernel (in zip format) from XDA.

2. Copy it to ur phone.

3. Boot into CWM recovery.

4. Flash the kernel zip (just like flashing a custom rom).

5. Wipe cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions in recovery.

6. Reboot.

7. Give the new kernel a few days to settle. :)

Thanks so much immortalneo. I know some of us noobs will bang on about the same issues, again and again, but it's just a jungle out there with the choice of roms etc. Also i want is the least bloated rom and smooth screen etc.

Now i know i've may have already asked this earlier, but immortalneo, would you know which kernel is known to have fast speed?

I understand. Well i've hit a brick wall mate as the orange stock rom 4.0.3 is not rooted and i tried using ExynosAbuse-v1.40 to root it, but it said it could not do it.

1. How else do i root it or how do i install the neatrom whilst on the orange stock rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Since u want to flash a custom rom, u need to install CWM recovery (ExynosAbuse doesn't give u CWM).

For this, simply flash siyah v5.0.1 kernel via Odin.:)

Just thought i'd mention, my girlfriends S2 had the same issues as your own. Random reboots then battery drop from full to very low on boot. We tried everything to fix, reflash, ROMs, Kernels. Still had the same issue. In the end i took it apart to find the ribbon from the USB/charger port was slightly lifted. I pressed it back down and guess what?

PROBLEM SOLVED.

Sent from my badboi dual booting s3 @1.704ghz.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowandroid:
Thank you jonniboi1985 for recommending that idea. Fortunately, i have solved the issue mate. I installed Neatrom lite 4.7 and then wiped all data and did a full factory reset and boy it runs like a dream! It seems the problem is lack of ram and space on the phone. Neatrom lite 4.7 solves this problem as it gives you approx 830mb of ram to play with instead of approx 750mb. Also by doing a full wipe and factory reset, I cleared all the rubbish that must have been causing the issues. I then one by one, installed the apps to see which one could cause issues, but there run like a dream.

Couple of things though:-

1. Since this is a custom rom, where are all those extra custom options you tend to get that allow you to tweak it?

2. Is there a way of moving not all, but at least some stuff onto the sd card? For example how do i get the camera to store any photos automatically onto the ext sdcard?

Hey guys,

I'm currently working (wanna start in the next days) on a tool similar to hasoon2000s toolkit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183942

BUT: I want a tool which is usable on "every" OS (every = windows, linux, mac and maybe others with java support). So I decided to start this project. Also I want a tool which is far more automatic. So the user only has to click on "one" button (I know it will be more :D) and the tool will do the rest.

It will be a bit different to hasoons tool related to GUI and how you use it.

Here's a list what the user needs and what he/she has to do to get a rooted device:

required:

SDK (adb and fastboot)

HTC Driver

HTCDev Account

Java

steps:

start the tool

hit "start"

login to htcdev

get the code

drag&drop the code onto the gui

that's it

optional:

flash kernel

flash recovery

reboot into recovery/bootloader

I started this thread to see how many people want/need this tool so I don't code a program that nobody wants ;)

But don't get me wrong: I think hasoons tool is great and a good piece of software. But I'd like to have something similar for people without windows.

This is a complete new project and will be based on another (german) guide I found in another forum.

So....I'll attach a poll to see whether you guys want a tool like this or not.

regards

Hi all, have 2 quick questions today

1. Was wondering if there's an app that tracks how often and for how long I use an app. I tried searching for analytic tools on the play store and all I get are google analytic apps.

2. Is there a way to keep the keyboard open after sending a message? I've googled a lot of different search terms but I can't seem to find any solutions or definitive yes/no answers
[General Questions and Answers] Hr Kristian:
1: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agrvaibhav.AppUsageTracking&hl=no or one of the related apps you'll get on that page.

2: This I think is a dead end, I haven't heard of a way and a few google searches seems to say the same thing that it "can't be done". Don't take my word for it though.

For the record, questions ought to be in the Q&A section of the forum.

Stock Kernel

I call this "stock" because I took the stock ICS source code and added certain modifications done to litekernel leaving us with a pretty rock solid kernel for cm10.1 ROMS

This kernel supprts:

BLN

Voodoo Sound

MTP

Data Usage

This kernel does not support:

UV

OC

GPU OC

Fast Charge

MMC_CAP_ERASE( ie I removed it so we dont brick our phones )

Download "stock"

You only need to wipe dalvik and cache to flash.

Upcoming:

I will be porting a few extra features like OC as well as adding few extra CPU governors and IO schedulers and that will be the kickass kernel but It'll take some time to run tests and what not before I release it
