for audiophiles ...only!!!

Hi there

sorry for my bad english

I'm a little-bit-audiophile

and I can tell U that XZ is a really good audio player

I've tested a lot of portable players earphones

preamplifires etc... and the true is that

XZ with eq 0 and without any silly claer audio clear bass

acid silly mods and any of "rubbish sound uninprovements"

with stock player gives a real detailed and quick sound

if compared with cowon d2+ ...XZ is really earphones-frendly

and was able to beat cowon down with better almost-all

compared especialy for U with a lot of popular earphones

like koss akg denon fostex etc...

XZ can handle every earphones bellow ~200ohm

with please level of sound

(listened with a different music-

classical/rock/blues/folk/metal/pop/etc...)

...everhthing I've wrote was compared to

real-world-acoustic-natural-listening

and those of you who never heard real acoustic instruments

like piano viola trumpet or acoustic guitar live performed

please ...don't be a haters and DO NOT reply to my post

99% of people use to listen "over-saturated-music"

with a lot of eq's subwoofers and crapy players

so they don't know how music really use to sounds

sony gave us really good hardware and software

...wish U all great listening experience using XZ

Your story sounds a bit like the Amoled vs LCD technology. People just simply like what they're used to.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberM:
+1

You are right, the XZ sound at defaults settings, with no clearcrap++ enabled sounds very-very well, much better than any phone i have ever tried.

The only problem i see, is the volume is a little low, but this is easily solved using better headphones. When connecting to external receiver, sound volume is ok.

I tried PureXaudio mod (v12) and, for me, it does a good job distorting and clipping, and adding a load of crap filters and unnecesary postprocessing to the music, it also amplifies the sound coming from the integrated speaker, which can not handle any more volume than stock, making it distort in ringtones to a level i was worried for its integrity. It also improved the volume coming from headphones... well, almost, because in some songs the sound coming from one speaker dissappear in certain parts of the song (i think they solved this isue in the latest version by bringing back the volume to stock). It is not configurable and it takes "User defined" eq settings for itself, which you will never be able to use to store your own eq settings.

I have not tried Viper, for the description it seems a little different, maybe more user configurable, maybe i will try it, but i wouldn't hold my breath.

I think this is up to people preferences, for people who like amoled screens and over saturated colors, try one of this mods. For people that enjoy LCD screens with more natural colors, stock audio is the one more faithful to reality.

So, better try for yourself and choose which one you like, the essence of Android.

Hey guys I was using mobile odin pro, getting ready to go back to stock but staying rooted. So i downloaded stock rooted rom and went to mobile odin. In mobile odin there is an option to wipe cache and dalvik cache so I checked them and hit wipe. I was on about 26% and it warned me that when flashing anything it's recommended to be atleast 50%. I continued anyway cause I was simply wiping cache. It began loading then said rebooting into recovery and never turned on. From what I see it looks like it might be hard brick (won't boot into download mode or recovery). I was wondering have any of you experienced this and is it stay repairable without jtag or do I have to send it to MobileTechVideos (again)?

Hope you guys can help, kinda ironic since I was trying to revert back to stock and stop flashing different roms all the time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Wow I guess no one else has ran into this issue. Or maybe you guys are tired of so many bricked questions, as so am I, but I thought my case was different since it was from using mobile Odin app instead of the usual "accidently flashed an international rom, now won't boot" thread.

Edit: Can a mod please delete thread if possible. Will just send in for repair, couldn't find fix anywhere.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: your issue

Your case is not that different than all the other cases similar to yours, you

either did not read all the instructions or you decided not to follow them. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Yeah maybe possible but they were rather shorts steps, I think they were about 6. Simply written too, don't think I missed anything. After reading online some, I've found that mobile Odin has been known of causing bricks on certain devices. Though the op of the thread said it worked perfect on his. It's ok though I'm just going to get it jtagged, then only rooting it on stock. Well until when TW 4.2 is available to us that is :D.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] origkid22:
possible option

You may be able to use a USB jig to get it into download mode to attempt to flash it back to working order. You can get them fairly cheap on ebay and i know you can make them if you have a little skill with a soldering iron and find the right thread. otherwise it's probably a no go....
[Nexus 10 General] hr21:
Hi all, I have the opportunity to buy a nexus 10 32gb for £300 its a refurb but says it comes with warranty.

However when looking into it, including calling samsung uk - they do not give warranty to the device in the uk but would if I sent it to the US (I'd prefer not to of course).

I haven't checked google, but it seems that they won't cover it either from their t&cs.

So in reality is it worth getting it for £300 or should I spent £20 more to get the 16GB version?

The GB isn't a big factor, but £300 for the 32gb is pretty good and they are pretty much open box returns - so brand new.

What do you guys think? Do these often have hardware issues which require returns?
[Nexus 10 General] samwheat:
even 32gb its not enough ...
[Nexus 10 General] Homey:
I had the same dilemma when buying mine in the UK. I was told by Google support that the US warranty was only valid in the US and the only way it could be repaired under warranty if something went wrong was to ship it to a US address and then contact Google in the US!

Eventually I just bought the UK version. It's going to less problematic in the long run and easier to sell when the time comes.

Also, there's a fairly good chance that you'll have the pleasure of paying duty and Vat when the tablet arrives. This will add another 26% or so to the cost!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pearsonpsh:
I know on the Galaxy SIII there is a home button mod that bypasses the Google now and s voice functions to speed up the home button speed. Is anyone working on this mod right now? Even after freezing the Google now app it still is pretty slow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Vanakatherock:
Go into S-Voice by double clicking the home button, once you agree to the terms & conditions and such, and it wants you to speak, hit the menu button and go to settings. In settings, uncheck the "Open via Home Key" box and that should speed up the home button use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pearsonpsh:
I already deleted the s voice application and the home button still has a lag to it. I know that the Galaxy sIII had a home button hack that improves the speed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arhoolie:
I've got a SIII from Sprint and have been running version for the People's ROM for some time now. When I upgraded from 3.15 to 3.16 I wiped cache and Dalvik cache and then flashed 3.16. Just today, I tried to flash 3.17 by wiping both cache and dalvik cache, doing a factory reset then flashing the new version. I choose the AGAT kernel which is what I've used in the past.

When I then rebooted, the phone seemed to boot up OK up unto the point where it displays the AGAT kernel splash screen. At that point it seemed to hang for a very long time. Yes, I'm experienced enough to know that the first reboot after flashing takes longer than normal but this was MUCH longer than that. In fact, it's still display the AGAT logo after 10 minutes or so.

The phone seems somewhat responsive in that if I hold the power button down long enough, the screen goes blank, then briefly shows the word "SAMSUNG", then I'm back to being stuck at the AGAT logo again.

[EDIT: After downloading the 3.17 file, I also did an MD5 checksum test and they values matched.]

What could be wrong here?

Thanks,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Hold the power button until it shuts down, then quickly key hold the power, volume up and home button and boot into recovery. Try wiping g dalvik again nd rebooting. If it works your good if not do the same thing and reflash the rom again, I know for a fact the ktoonz kernel works perfect try that and you can always flash the Agat kernel later.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arhoolie:
Thanks, edfunkycold, I'll give this a try and see what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arhoolie:
Well, that didn't resolve it, either. I tried going back into TWRP, wiping cache and dalvik-cache and flashing either the AGAT kernel again or KTOONSEZ. In either case, I got similar results. The install process seems to go OK in that I get asked the usual questions and make my choices, but the phone doesn't boot-up properly.

If I choose AGAT kernel, it hangs at the AGAT logo screen. If I choose KTOONSEZ kernel, I'll briefly see the word "SAMSUNG" (not "SAMSUNG with Galaxy SIII beneath it), then the screen goes blank and that's it.

I've never seen anything like this. I'm stumped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Re flash an older version if you still have it on there. If not re download the Rom, even though md5 might match you might not have a complete download.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arhoolie:
No, I deleted the 3.16 driver from ext-sd before flashing the 3.17 version. So, now I've re-downloaded the 3.17 zipfile again but don't seem to see a way to copy it over to the phone since my PC doesn't seem to be recognize the phone as a disk drive anymore.

EDIT: and what would happen if I choose "Don't install a kernel"? Can my phone still boot without one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Take the sd card out put it into computer copy it over put it back in phone and flash

Transmitted with a portable device using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arhoolie:
I tried that. I have a vivitar microSD card reader, but if I plug the card into the reader and then into the USB, my PC doesn't recognize the microSD as a removeable drive. Could the card be at fault here? Or perhaps the vivitar reader?

Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
That's hard to say, could be. Do you have anything important on that SD? Or can you re format? Fat32

Transmitted with a portable device using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arhoolie:
Well, after several hours of work, I've finally gotten TPR 3.17 successfully installed on my SIII. I seemed to have been hit by a perfect storm of a) an initial 3.17 zipfile that somehow got corrupted, b) a possbily flakey microSD card reader that my PC didn't recognize until about the 30th try, and c) Titanium Backup not restoring my apps and data in one restore operation. I ended up having to restore each app/data individually. A real pain in the wazoo but it worked.

So things are now back to normal, I'm running 3.17 and life is good.

A big shout-out and thanks to edfunkycold for all your help. It's really appreciated. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Sorry I didn't see this sooner and glad Ed was here patrolling Q&A. Yes...the S3 has been plagued with corrupting sd cards. First the blame was on a bad batch of sandisk cards but others have gotten corruption mysteriously with nothing in common, not ROM, recovery, manufacturer or methods. But that was certainly your issue from the start. Happy you got it fixed! You should love 3.17. Check out additional files in Post 2 of the ROM thread to help customize your experience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arhoolie:
Actually, I think my big problem was more with the card reader (a vivitar product) than it was with the microSD card itself. (My card is a Sandisk 16GB card formatted FAT32.) For some reason, my PC just doesn't reliably recognize the card reader no matter which USB port I use. It will eventually work, but it takes something like 20-30 tries before it does. Also, even though I"m using Titanium BackupPro, I still was forced to restore each app individually.

I just got my XDA II and I absolutely love it!! I have only one small problem:

When I activate transcriber and write a word, the word just stays there and is not translated into characters, that is it stays on the screen just as I wrote it. It also makes the sound notifying me that it has begun to interpret the characters. Yet nothing happens, but if I wait for about one minute, it finally works. As long as I don't change program, transcriber works perfectly from then on.

But that's the problem: As soon as I change program again, I have to wait like a minute until its working again. When I'm in a rush, that just won't do!

Has anybody encountered the same problem? Or does anybody have an idea of how to fix it?

Any help is really appreciated!

So you have decided to shift over to the rooting side of Android and it is a good thing. Now you are a n00b (don't worry, nobody knew this before they tried it for the first time, not even me), and are trying to find easy guides to follow to do some general rooting stuff. Now, I hate reading, and I suppose so do you, and maybe you are not even reading this :p, so I have added my video tutorials from my YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/Stickycover, down below for you to follow me, as I modify my own device. Trust me, I have done these things many times before and know what I'm doing.

Hit the THANKS button! :):good:

First thing, ROOT!

Of course there is no point talking about rooting and all the modifications you can do to your Android device, but it is of no use if you don't have root. So we'll take the first but the most important step, rooting your Samsung Galaxy S3.

[YOUTUBE]3cchVGVAWqA[/YOUTUBE]

Next learn how to UNROOT, just in case you need to do so.

Note- This unroots your device and does bring it back to stock firmware and stock kernel, in short, like out of the box, but has a problem. To get the custom binary flash counter to 0, you'll need to do some extra steps using Triangle Away, Google it.

[YOUTUBE]55CMlhvx7ws[/YOUTUBE]

Now on to the fun, to learn to do basic modifications on your device.

To demonstrate this, I'm going to show you guys how to flash the CyanogenMod ROM, which is one of the most sought after ROMs on any device.

FLASH CYANOGENMOD 10.1 (JB 4.2)

[YOUTUBE]aBF5boGRsDs[/YOUTUBE]

I hope these videos do help you to get the basic idea of rooting and what possibilities it holds. Feel free to ask questions here on the comment sections of the YouTube videos.

Disclaimer- I have done my best to explain every step and hope that following them should not harm your device but whatever happens to your device is your responsibility. I take no responsibility to whatever might happen to your device.​

Hello, I have a HTC one X, I turn on the Roma Viper carefree no problem.

But last night, I tried to do the same thing for one of my friends on the HTC ONE XL.

I unlock the BootLoader, install the Recovery and Flash the Kernel of the Roma ViperXL.

I then turn in bootloader to start the Recovery, and there! I see the tag "tampered" at the top of the screen, then when launching the Recovery, I got this message :

This build is for developement only Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure do comply may lead to legal action.

And of course, nothing is happening ...

I was able to re-lock the bootloader, but the tag "tampered" stays there.

Unable to install ROM, or return to the original.

Is there a solution to the problem?
