The kernel has a lot of issues with sound. While some users report no problems, I have an audio bug where turning on a music player will render the screen dark until reboot. Some others report no sound at all.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJHouston1992:
I see. Do you think that reflashing the ROM would help these issues at all? Or is it just a matter of waiting for an updated version?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seokhun:
No, if the ROM file had issues you would be having bootloops and freezes. Just wait for now.

cm10.1 Digitizer issue

Has anyone noticed the digitizer being shorted somehow while charging?

when mt KFHD is plugged in the digi does not respond to the same spot i am touching.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seokhun:
That's a known issue, it has to do with the voltages.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleberry.graphics:
I thought as much. is there a fix, or are we waiting for further development?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seokhun:
Possibly the kernel, but don't quote me. It originally happened on stock Amazon, too, because I experienced it myself. Thought I was messing something up so I factory-reset it, lol.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidIt!:
You know the only time I noticed it doesn't do that is with the official amazon quick charger. Otherwise every other charger has that problem. So unless you have the quick charger, you can't use it plugged in. Like seokhun said, voltages.

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

There is a fix, This problem is hardware related mostly, I bet the charger you are using has a current output below 1800mA, This can cause the touch screen to become unresponsive and in some cases (like mine) Its like a ghost is randomly touching and swiping across the screen. Just get a charger with 5v 1800mA+ and this will be fixed :)

[Acer Iconia A500] darkguy2008:
Hey guys :)

I'm a happy owner of a new Iconia A500 bought from Amazon :P. It isn't brand-new but new-enough-for-me lol. It seems it was updated by OTA or something because it has Android ICS 4.0.3 on it.

Tech info:

Model: A500

Android version: 4.0.3

Kernel version: 2.6.39.4+

Image version: Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1

Compilation version: Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1

Image part number: FM.S14A0.00Y

I read a lot and noticed there's a lot of info but it isn't very organized. I see there is CWM and TWRP, there are stock ROMs, ICS and JB and maybe a linux or two out there, but the instructions on using them aren't very clear.

I know I have to back up my SBK because it's something important. Thing is, how to?

Actually, in the case of a brand new Iconia which I want to get JB/any-other-custom-rom on it and have the possibility to go back to stock in case I screw up (or in other words, how to avoid a brick or how to recover from one if possible), what would I have to do?

In other words, what would be the steps I'll have to follow in order to play safe and backup my current state so I can start flashing custom ROMs like custom JB/ICS and kernels? what do I have to read and in what order? I already have experience in flashing & cooking ROMs, recoveries & bootloaders for HTC Magic, Motorola Defy and MT6577 devices, but this whole nvidia environment is new to me.

Thanks in advance!

DARKGuy,

I just recently took the plunge and experimented with various ROMs. The link below pretty much details all the required steps and links to files:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425

Remember proceed at your own risk !!. Before doing anything, backup any items (docs, mp3, books, pics, etc) you want saved.

DOWNLOAD ALL FILES BEFORE STARTING !

Practice placing the A500 into Recovery Mode ( PWR + (-) Vol key) and APX Mode (PWR + Reset button (paper clip needed)). You need a micro SD card installed to perform the upgrade.

Download the latest USB drivers from ACER (1.00.0524) and install into PC. Verify they work in both USB drive mode and APX mode. Make sure tablet has USB Debugging enabled (Settings). Verify the drivers work. Boot tablet normal and connect to PC, you should see Acer Tablet with SD drive and External SD drive (if micro SD installed). Files\folders should be viewable. Turn table off, then restart into APX mode. You should see new hardware found, ADB driver. You shouldn't see any errors in device manager. If everything is working fine, you're ready to proceed.

Basic Steps:

1) Get CPU ID. I used File Explores ES app. Folder Local\Sys\Firmware\Fuse and the file is acer_cpu_id. Text file. Remember to add a zero in the beggining. ie mine started 33c20c.... My CPU ID is 033c20c....etc, Write it down.

2) Download the tool and generate your SBK with the CPU ID. Write it down. It's 4 sets of numbers, ie 0x520A1300 0x78498901 etc.

3) Root device. Here' the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546593.

4) Install bootloader and recovery rom. I used Blackthund3r APX tool. Option 17, ShirlaxCZ V8 Bootloader and Thors 1.7.3 recovery tool.

Once this have been completed, successfully. You can download any JB\ICS you'd like to load. Just boot into recovery and load from SD card.

I would also download a stock image in case you want to go back.

get bootloader + thors recovery 1.7.3 cwm base(only cwm i found to work with aroma installer. which some of the newer roms is a must)

Shouldn't really be a big deal but if you end up getting some force closings of apps or any thing odd you can always just boot back into recovery and do the formating and reflash the ROM but if no errors or anything I would just go with it and remember to do it next time

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Stu_Gots:
Alright, so I bought the 5,200mAh battery from Anker on Amazon and I've got a question about the battery cover they sent.

First image is the OG battery cover. Second is the extended battery cover. This is probably a very stupid question and I'm pretty sure I already know the answer. I'm guessing since that little part in question (I don't know what it's called) touches the contracts on the phone itself that it's an antenna of some kind. Which means that the extended battery cover doesn't have said antenna.

Am I right or wrong? Would this be a problem?

Will post impressions on the battery itself once I put it through its paces.

I am 99% sure that that is the NFC, a lot of extended battery cases aren't NFC capable. Check the description of the battery it should indicate whether it is or not.

If you don't use NFC then your chill but if you do I'd wait to get a Zerolemon, I had the 7000mah battery case for the S3 and it was by far the best battery I ever had, was getting 3 days plus and it had NFC.

But I never ever use NFC so its not a big deal to me xD
[AT&T LG Optimus G] argolfermd:
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the new superphones (OGPro,S4,HTC One) just not knocking your socks off. Am I missing something, or are they just not that much better than the OG.

The ONLY think that I think is neat is the IR blaster, but my google tv handles that for me in my living room at least.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
The SoC (600 vs S4 Pro) are essentially the same thing, the 600 is arguably a tweaked S4 Pro, and they use the same GPU. So yeah, IR blasters and cameras are really the only benefit hardware wise.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] argolfermd:
Looks like it will be another 6 months at least then. Haven't heard of anything coming down the pipe anytime soon either.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
I have yet to put my hands on an S4, but one of my friends recently picked up an HT Cone.

The One has a nicer screen. I did a big comparison of screens on my LGOG, my old Inspire, my friend's One, a Note1, and an E4GT all in a line, and the One had the nicest screen by far. (I wish I'd taken pictures) The one Definitely feels like it could take more punishment than the LGOG. There was no discernible difference in speed/smoothness. I didn't get to play much with the camera, but it's certainly nicer. IR Blaster.

If you can get the One on a deal, ****ing Go for it. Otherwise, you'll be just fine on your LGOG.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] porkchopsandwiches:
I chose the LGOG over the HTC One because of the SD card slot. Call me crazy, but I like having my 50somethingGB of music and audio books and still have a good 10+GB seperate onboard for photos and taken video.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
This.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] droid_<3er:
Really there's no difference between APQ8064T and APQ8064; GPU and CPU can be tweaked via something like Kernel Tuner.

Plus, the graphics performance is the same because although the A320 in the LGOG is clocked lower, the Optimus G also only has a 720p screen unlike the One and GS4.

I have seen speculations that the APQ8064AB in the GS4 has increased DMIPS/mHz that brings Krait 300 closer to Cortex-A15 performance. Wonder if it's a different chip altogether?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chrisphoenix7:
OGPro is a Note II competitor, so if you dislike the note size....

As for the s4 and One, I've tested both. They outran my mildly tweaked OG, but I wasn't much impressed. My only issue with my OG is some build issues and hardware damage (stuff that was messed up from the factory). It is a fast phone with excellent specs overall, and now with JB, it can still easily hold its own. It feels sturdier than the S4, and it has the capability of more storage than the One (at least on AT&T). The software is much better than sense, even if there are a few more bugs and glitches than Sense. So I would say no, wait for the next wave of flagship phones.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MintyAnt:
Just upgraded from an s2 to a lgog.

I loved the HTC one for its sexy case, but no SD card. Same reason for the Nexus 4.

The lgog pro and note 2 are really itneresting, but too expensive.

The S4 is an S3, and I feel that LGOG is a better built phone.

In the end, LGOG was the cheapest upgrade ($150) of the high end phones I viewed. One was something like $250/$300, the notes were $400/$200. For the price, I am getting a quad core, 2 gig ram machine.

No phone there blew my socks off in terms of speeds. To me, phones are fast enough to handle a lot of basic needs smoothly for a long time to come.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheeWolf:
Hi,

I'm looking for a good car mount for my device. I need to be able to attach it the the AC vent and to rotate it 360 degrees.

After searching a lot I found:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxmo-Car-M...1731?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item5d3eaaae93

I found many others of course, but they are cheap and they don't seem to be good quality. For example, this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Air-Ven...6215?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item5d3e515577

I want your opinion, do you think anyone of them is good?

Also, I know of clingo:

http://www.clingo.com/car-mounts/universal-vent-mount

This basically holds your phone with some kind magnet (don't think its really a magnet, don't know what it is), but I'm afraid it will somehow ruin the back of my phone (even though I put a case on, I'm very very fanatic about my Nexus. Very).

Is there anyone here who has ever tried it and can give me an opinion?

What do you mean changing the clip? And can this holder hold the Nexus even when it has a case? I'm using the rinkge fusion.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donmeli:
The holder has two components. One, the holder, attaches to the car, different models for different cars or even the place in your car you want to mount it.And the other, the clip, is specific to the device you have, i.e different devices different clips. So if you change your device you just have to buy a new clip not the whole set.

I bought a HTC One-X from someone on a local website for trading and buying. The phone came with a root on it already, but it was not working for me at all.

Among the options was a wipe OS button but i didn't mean to press it but I did. Now it repeatedly goes to logo with a red message under it saying "This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal actions" I was able to access another settings screen by reading some forums, but I can't seem to find solid directions or help on how to re-install the original OS to the phone.

If you use the Blue patch on REDD and like continuity, as I do, you can change the app icon text color, both on the desktop, and in the app drawer.

I used the Blue patch, which is ICS Blue. To change your text to ICS Blue use this color code #33B5E5.

Navigate to Icon Label Color on Folder, Launcher and Desktop and put the color code in the right corner of the color pallette.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I assume you have a P6800 model? The only official JB firmware released is for P6800 model only. The rest of is are still waiting.

If so, try with USB debugging on and or use Odin 1.85.

If you're still stuck, try reflash ICS then immediately the JB.

Make sure you don't wipe anything in stock recovery. If you need to wipe, avoid "brick bug" by flash the CWM or TWRP and wipe (factory reset+ wipe cache+ dalvik cache+ system).
