[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robson:
mate,

this used to happen to me along with a couple of chaps in the forum. someone suggested that taking out the sd card and then doing a soft reset fixes up everything. worked but all that trouble... think it has something to do with the file explorer getting "confused" with reading the sd card (as someone said) but don't quote me. i finally did a hard reset and now everything is a-ok; even with the sd card inserted. must be one of those microsoft bugs...

cheers

Hi Robson

Thank you :D

Last night I performed a hard reset, installed most applications, and thought I would try deleting a file, once again file explorer hung.

I then performed another hard reset, and before I installed anything I tried to delete another file, again it hung.

I was just about to call orange and get a replacement, and I found your reply.

It now works if the SD Card is out. I will try to format the card again, and if that fails I will order a new Panasonic SD Card. My current card is a cheap Taiwan card.

Cheers

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robson:
mate,

on the topic of sd cards; i do notice that sandisk isn't as good (no offense to those who love em); i use both panasonic and kingston. both of which, i've noticed, doesn't cause any file explorer hang ups. although after the hard reset my explorer app is working properly despite the sandisk sd card being inserted; perhaps the sd card you're using is indeed causing the hang ups. brand? so that we'll know what to avoid buying :D

cheers then

Hi everybody.

I strongly recommend u to use such SD: TRANSCEND, PRETEC, HAGIWARA. Nothing personal - I dont work in that coporations :roll: :lol: , but IMHO...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] justinp:
Hi

If I soft reset with the SD card out then file sexplorer has no problems, but with it in duriong a soft reset any file operations causes the system to hang.

I just tried this with a 128MB pretec SD Card, Pansonic 8MB SD Card and a 128MB MMC and they all gave the same results, that if I soft reset wit h a card inserterd then file explorer hangs on any file operation.

I can live with this as I dont soft reset very often, and when I do I will simply pop the card out first.

Cheers

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArrowHood:
Hi,

is there a way to access the quick settings in any app instead just on the home screen or something similar that shows volume, brightness and wifi? I tested "Sidebar" but it doesn't show whether wifi is on and also changes volume and brightness on touch instead of just showing the bar.

Basically i am looking for something like the "Slider Controls" small app for the Xperia Z plus the ability to turn wifi on/off.

Thank you
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
Two products you could try "GMD GestureControl" and/or "LMT".

With GMD I defined a customized gesture to bring up the volume overlay while in apps like MX Player allowing me to adjust the volume during playback. With LMT's PIE (see video) , I assigned a toggle to turn autobrightness on/off (Auto Brightness Switch) and a number of notification bar activities. So far with LMT I've only used the PIE overlay feature but it does a heck of a lot more as you can see in the video link.

Give them a test run, between the two products I think you can get what you need. They also work perfectly well with SideBar if you have already purchased that.

Good Luck
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riclin54:
OK - some help please? I've replaced/unlocked bootloaders and installed cwm/twrp/custom roms and recovery on a dozen android phones and tablets recently - but the TF300TG has beaten me ....

I have recently:

1. Unlocked bootloader on 4.1.1 device using Asus Unlocker v7 (OK - so there goes any warranty :()

2. Upgraded to Android v4.2.1

3. Installed JB TWRP - android remains accessible and functional but cannot access partitions from TWRP

4. Replaced TWRP with CWM (recovery-jb) - no improvement

5. Returned to TWRP. However on reboot, the system immediately boots TWRP instead of full android. I am unable to access either Android proper or Fastboot.????

EDIT: I should also add here that I suspect it was some idiot's(umm - that'll be me) foolish Wipe within the TWRP at step 5 above that caused this disaster - and that this removed more than just data. RTFM Richard!! :(

Not bad for a 4 day old tablet eh? Since I can no longer access fastboot, my guess is that I may need to rebuild the partitions (or at least the partition table) via ADB Sideload. Make any sense? If so, a little guidance really would be appreciated!

TIA,

Richard

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhian:
Once booted in TWRP go to the Reboot menu and "Power Off" then boot into fastboot (it should NOT skip straight into TWRP unless your volume rocker is busted). Once you've got fastboot back ensure you do get the right TWRP!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riclin54:
Thanks for your suggestion Rhian. However I've not yet sorted this. Perhaps a little more info from me will help you help me ;)

The device is running 'Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.0.0 e> released by "WW_epad-10.6.2.3-20130402" A03'. It was unlocked with Asus Unlock_v7 whilst still running ICS and has had Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip installed.

Currently, on initial power up, the device boots straight into TWRP v2.5.0.0 Recovery. I can execute TWRP commands - however there seems to be an issue with access to partitions. Although I can mount the System partition - Cache & Data as well as Micro SDcard and SD-Ext are unmountable (neither can I see block devices in /dev that relate to these). I am however able to access a shell via adb. Further, both volume toggles appear to be operating as they should.

Rebooting from TWRP alerts that "Root permissions appear to be lost". I have attempted to reinstall Superuser but this has not resolved the matter.

"adb reboot boot-loader" will reboot the device into fastboot mode with the boot screen noting "Key driver not found .. Booting OS" and the version info above. From here, I have attempted to use adb to replace TWRP 2.5.0.0 with version 2.4.4.0. Although the adb commands complete without error, the new recovery is not written and the existing 2.5.0.0 remains in place.

From the Fastboot screen on the device, it can be forced to boot Android where everything seems to operate normally and with all partitions and filesystems appearing to be accessible.

All this suggests to me that there is either a problem with the bootloader itself, or less probably, that there is an issue with one or more of the partitions which is interfering with the boot process. There is however a better than even chance that I'm wrong.

I'm considering reformating and replacing the partitions one by one - however this seems rather extreme and in any case, I've not been able to locate an ASUS source of the partitions images yet.

Doing my head in here Rhian - any suggestions?

Thanks,

Richard

Anyone have try to play this game on their beloved N1? Is it smooth?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Meltus:
Requirements

- Root Access

- ADB understanding (or an app like Root Explorer)

- SGS4 i9500 (doesn't work on i9505)

- Samsung based ROM (i.e, no AOKP or CM, etc.)

WARNING: BE

VERY

CAREFUL. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO PUSH YOUR PHONE'S VOLUME FAR BEYOND IT'S NORMAL LEVEL. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A LIMIT YOU CAN PUSH THE VOLUME TO!!!

I will not be held responsible for any damage you do to your phone or your phone's speaker. You have been warned.

Instructions

Exactly the same method as on the SGS3 (the files are NOT interchangeable though)

1) Locate the file 'System/etc/default_gain.conf'

2) Use ADB to pull file to your computer

or

2) Use an app like Root Explorer to edit file on the device

3) Use guide below to make desired changes

4) Reboot your phone to apply changes!

Guide

I will try and explain the file as best I can:

You will notice there are 4 "Output Modifier Stages" listed at the top of the file. These are: Normal, Incall, Ringtone and Incommunication.

There are also 4 "Modifiers" which are not listed at the top but are referred to as: Earpiece, Speaker, Headset Out, Headphone, and a few others.

To alter your desired volume type you simply have to match the Output Stage with the Desired Modifier! It doesn't always work like this, not fully got to grips with this file yet.

For example, I want to increase the volume of Ringtones, so I find the bit that looks like this:

Modifier "Ringtone" {
SupportedDevice {
"Speaker"
}
Enable {
{ "Speaker Digital Volume", [B]112 [/B]},
{ "SPKOUTL Input 1 Volume", 32 },
{ "SPKOUTL Input 2 Volume", 32 },
}
}

And change it to:

Modifier "Ringtone" {
SupportedDevice {
"Speaker"
}
Enable {
{ "Speaker Digital Volume", [B]142 [/B]},
{ "SPKOUTL Input 1 Volume", 32 },
{ "SPKOUTL Input 2 Volume", 32 },
}
}

Please Note: I have no idea how high you can push this value. I've had it up to 152 which I would NOT recommend. I don't dare go much louder.

You can also do things like, increase the volume of ringtones that play through the headset or bluetooth headset. It's a pretty detailed file!

There is also an "Input" section lower down in the file which allows you to alter the gain of the microphones in certain situations but I have not had chance to mess with this yet.

SEE POST 2 FOR PRE-MADE FILES!
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Meltus:
Pre-Made Files

Default_Gain.zip - Unzip .conf file and move to "System/etc/"

General Volume (Normal, Speaker) increased from 112 to 132.

Ringtone Volume (Ringtone, Speaker) increased from 112 to 132.

Earpiece Volume (Incall, Earpiece) increased from 128 to 132.

Speakerphone Volume (Incall, Speaker) increased from 144 to 154

Default_Gain_Backup.zip - Unzip .conf file, rename it to "default_gain.conf" and move to "System/etc/"

Stock backup file!

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Paolonicus:
Safe on the long-run?

This is great! But I'm concerned, won't this ruin the Speakers or the Headphone plug in the long run?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Meltus:
Headphone plug? Definitely not.

Main loudspeakers, Headphone speakers, bluetooth speakers and earpiece speaker? Most definitely yes! :D

Although, the same hack worked on the SGS3 and my one is still being used every day with the hack in place and the speakers are still holding out. The speakers are more resilient than you think.

Like I said, the values I've set the pre-made files are probably the maximum I will go to and even those are probably too loud!

i mean the SAFEST adjustment

The safest adjustment is to not adjust it!

I'm currently running mine at +10 across the board which seems like a good level to me. The pre-made files are at +20 which is a little too high.

But remember: You're on the XDA forums, nothing is safe :P

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Meltus:
Apparently the file is not present on the i9505, only on the i9500, so the file probably won't have any effect.

Feel free to try it and report back though! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] vegetaleb:
Knowing you have both phones, is this mod making the sgs4 louder than the One?

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Paolonicus:
I think I made a mistake. As instructed I put the extracted Zip File in System/etc/(Default_Gain)) but what it did is the opposite. It lowered down the volume esp. on my headset. Should I do the opposite and use the Defaul_Gain-Backup?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] jlevy73:
Without question yes, with this Mod the S4 is louder than my One (both external speaker and through headphones).
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Meltus:

}

}
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Meltus:
Yeah, that should have increased the headphone volume for music, it does for me at least. Did you reboot after making the changes?

Also, could you try increasing the "Normal, Speaker" bit (second block down) and see if that raises general speaker volume? Cheers.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Meltus:
Ok, cheers, I'll have a look into why it might not be working on that ROM

Thanks for testing :) I'll have to have a look and see if there's a different way to do it on the 9505 then.

No, not that I'm aware of.

It seems to be there for some but not for others. It doesn't seem to work on the 9505 anyway, only on the 9500.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Paolonicus:
I've tried using this on stock odexed XXUAMDK and it also has the same issue I have on Wanamlite 1.2. Instead of increasing the volume esp. on my headphones it does the opposite and lowers them down.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] nadejo:
I can fix that just give the build prop of any gt i9500 because the gt i9505 build prop doesnt contain the command for that file.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Meltus:
There's no commands relating to that file on the i9500 either, as far as I can tell. Not near a computer at the moment so I can't provide you with a build.prop, I'm afraid.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] REVERSiN:
nothing in build.prop related to this... i checked now anyway the build.prop from wanam is here:)

btw i checked, its true the i9505 doesn't have a wolfson chip so its the reason why it can't be moded...

I will try my best. Gonna compare it with mine

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] REVERSiN:

Guys is it just me or is it really hard to find a way of boosting the poor volume levels ob this phone? I have a pair of sennheiser momentums and they sound much louder on the iPhone 5 and htc one x.

Is it that nobody has yet found a fix for loud volume or are all 9505 owners doomed to substandard sound?

At this rate I will be better off going back to my s2 which has louder volume mod.

Btw tried beats audio but it does not work either :(

On the i9505 in the directory /system/etc/ i cannot find the file default_gain.conf.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Meltus:
That's because this mod doesnt work on the I9505. The i9500 has a Wolfson DAC which is apparently much easier to modify than the Qualcomm varient.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Paolonicus:
I think I have found the reason why your mods is doing the opposite to my phone. I have installed this mod along with the Modded Headphones Zip he provided. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2224240 Though I don't think it's the BM Sound Mod that is causing this, it might be the Modded Headphones Zip.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] jlevy73:

so we must be missing something here
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] toyanucci:
Here's a pre-edited one for those who just need a slight boost. I find the levels set in the 2nd post were too loud. I boosted the levels only slighly enough that it makes a difference especially for notifications, but not too loud that it sounds distorted. I also boosted the levels to headphones when listening to music slightly.

Hopefully you guy's find it useful. Thanks to the starter of this thread and the original discoverer of this mod as it was very much needed. I found that ringtones and notifications (especially) were noticeably softer on the S4 than on my S3. I use the same notification tones and I would miss notifications because I never heard them.
