[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chananelb:
Normally (phone speaker & mic) I can hear people pretty well and they can hear me pretty well.

When I use earphones (that don't have a mic) the person at the other end can't hear me at all!

For a while I thought that it might have to do with how I was holding the phone while speaking - since I was using the phone's microphone to talk and my own earphones to listen I thought that that might be the reason that people couldn't hear me.

I did some test calls yesterday and that doesn't seem to be the cause.

I did notice that at the beginning of the call, I can hear sounds from my environment (cars honking, people talking etc) coming in over my headphones so I now suspect that the noise cancellation software isn't working properly when using earphones.

Has anyone experienced this issue?

Any fixes?

I tried searching both xda and googel but couldn't find anything that sounded relevant.

I've also tested this on multiple roms and with clean install of pure android, no differences.

Thanks!

Edit: I didn't read well .. Try to stick to head phones who has a microphone built in :) I cant think about another solution ..

Have u tried using earphones who had a microphone built in . try that first and post results ...

P.s I had this problem too before . hope I helped you:)

sent from my blazing fast...... GT-19000..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chananelb:
I've tried just about all possible options - the problem doesn't seem to occur when using a bt headset or wired headset with mic - in those situation the noise cancellation software seems to disable itself, which isn't ideal but is much better than it feeding the noise back into my earphones.

i have been using a stereo bt set for a while because it gives me the best overall experience but I would really like to go back to my wired earphones (shure e2c's) as the difference in audio quality is huge, but having to unplug the earphones everytime I recieve a call is rly annoying.

i was hoping that there would be a fix that I had somehow missed....

thanks anyways

Title says all.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Can you get to the bootloader screen by hold Volume Down + Power button?

If not, then no.
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousthing:
Yes, I can. But when I try and flash the stock HBOOT back, it says 'can not roll back hboot version'.

I'm trying to restore the stock HBOOT so I can send it in for warranty without big black "Blackrose" text along the top :P
[HTC Incredible S] Gizmo648:
I think you have to uninstall Blackrose before you can restore anything, open the Blackrose program, there should be an option to uninstall
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousthing:
I believe Blackrose gave a similar error, though I'll need to go check the specifics
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes if you have BlackRose S-OFF HBOOT, the only way to replace it is to run the BlackRose installer with the /uninstall option.
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousthing:
Very strange - I booted into CWM recovery and when I run adb devices, it detects my phone

But when I run BlackRose_IS.exe /uninstall, it gives *Waiting for device* and stays stuck there. Any ideas? Can BlackRose even be installed/uninstalled from recovery? :\
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousthing:
Never mind, I have successfully removed Blackrose by booting into an SD card bootable CM7.1 image, then using terminal emulator and dd to force write a new hboot. I tried writing the stock hboot that came with the virgin mobile RUU, but now I'm getting "security warning" and I'm stuck to the bootloader. I'll search through the forums now for what to do... thanks guys anyway!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
With the security warning you should now be able to flash the official HTC ICS RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousthing:
Yup, I successfully flashed it and now it's back to what appears to be the factory settings, so hopefully the service guy will replace my mobo when I send it in.

On a side note, does the bootloader, when locked by HTC (and you unlock using htcdev.com) normally say *LOCKED* along the top? Mine doesn't say this (I don't really care about getting that back anyway, just wondering)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
There are 3 statuses: "LOCKED", "UNLOCKED" and "RELOCKED" if your HBOOT is 2.00.0000 or above. If your HBOOT is version 1.13.0000 or 1.16.0000, then they did not show that type of status on the HBOOT screen.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gmanos007:
Hello,

I did a factory reset on Samsung galaxy w i8150 (via settings-->privacy etc), which was rooted using recovery method (xda link) and with its stock ROM (no customs). After that, I have the following problems:

1.	After inserting PIN password, it stuck: keeps loading with message: “unlocking SIM card”*. I am getting out of this by pressing for 3 seconds the “lock” button and selecting “flight mode” *. After this, it enters to the home screen, with the problem 2 message:

2.	“process com.android.phone terminated unexpectedly. try again.”, with only option: “compulsory close”*. This error sometimes reappears after some minutes/hours.

3.	Seems like I lost root access. The superuser app exists (and I updated it) but root checker informs that “the device has not proper root access” and programs that require root don’t work properly.

4.	Cannot connect to wifi! It stuck on “obtaining IP address” *. Already tried: router without security and router with WPA security. i8150 could connect to this router before factory reset. I only tested on one router. I do have internet over 3G.

* My phone has Greek language so the translation of messages may not be exact.

Already did a lot of “googling” over all the above problems, gained some knowledge but not enough to fix it…

Questions:

1.	Is re-rooting with recovery method (xda link) safe?

2.	What should I do?

Semi brick?

Thanks for reading,

thanks in advance to everyone who can help :)

What rom r u using? Try a different one :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gmanos007:
I am using stock ROM, rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gameboy20131:
Then why did u do a factory reset? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gmanos007:
because it was too slow!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] FelixMG:
Do you have CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gameboy20131:
Well then flash a better rom! U don't need to wipe data to make your sgw faster :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gmanos007:
No.

is it possible, without proper root access?

Also, i tried to restore stock with kies, but just before the final step it shows a message with "chinese" characters and it quits.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] adhitya24:
how laggy do you feel, when how do you fell laggy ? i think u just remove the system app who not giving feature good for you, and u just install init.d and install tweaks :D and your handheld is for what ? gaming, or just like internet
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gmanos007:
It was getting too laggy, believe me. No gaming. Normal use except for i have 5 mail accounts with 20-30 mails per day.

When i was rooted, i had stopped (with root app delete) some apps from running and now that I am not properly rooted, i cannot start them over, so this is why (i think) there are problems (that i wrote at my first post)...

Is there any hard reset that will bring my phone back to the exact facotry settings? already tried hard reset using stock recovery mode.

If the only solution is flashing firmware again, what firmware do i need for Greece?

phone details

I8150NELM3

kernel

2.6.35.7-perf-I8150XXLMB-CL1123660dpi@DELL134#3

GINGERBREAD.XXLMB

PDA LMB

PHONE LM3

CSC LB2 (HTS)

Also, i re-rooted with recovery method and nothing changed.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gmanos007:
Every ROM has every language preinstalled.

I "solved" the problem by flashing cwm with odin and cyanogenmod 10 with cwm.

2.3.6 is gurbage. Extremely slow. But cyanogenmod 10 is absolutely great, it works pefect without lagging. It is like buying a new phone.

Hi,

How do i go about saving all my contacts to my SD Card, can save pictures and files but having problems with contacts.
[General Topics] Noodleman:
did you find a solution?

Im after a similar thing?

Thanks,
[General Topics] foaf:
Not sure it's possible on the move. But why don't you just sync with Outlook then export the contacts list (File >> Import and Export).
[General Topics] Noodleman:
because i have 650 devices to do this with, and i want to manage the contacts on each device from a central location.

its a pain in the :P
[General Topics] Col_UK:
use x-backup, and select "contact only" and pick ur storage card as the destination
[General Topics] Noodleman:
but does that make the "live location" for contacts storage the storage card?

Or just generate a backup

Cheers

Hi guys some of you may have seen my other thread about the red leather skin that I reviewed on here from smartskins, if not you can find it here; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281437

This thread is for a new skin that I purchased off them quite recently, the slate and gold brushed metal combo. First of all this skin looks GREAT on the HTC One with the top and bottom section gold and the middle as black (looks slate/grey in certain lighting but black head on).

The black middle part of the skin has a glitter effect in it which looks really nice and the fit is really good too. You can check out the pictures below;

This is a very nice skin, which seems pretty durable due to the thickness of it, and their customer service is great! :D The cutouts and all seem pretty bang on,its just that I dont have the patience to keep re-aligning it!

Its the second skin Ive had off them with no problems whatsoever so I highly recommend them, heres the link to this skin specifically:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-One-M7-Brushed-Metal-Two-Tone-Skin-Wrap-Cover-Sticker-Protector-NOT-CASE-/151037564251?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item232a8a555b

and their eBay page where they have a lot of HTC One skins;

[One (M7) Accessories] ria__x:
i ordered this brushed silver metal skin but i never got the sides and top covered!! how did you get that? they must have updated their skins

oh and btw what is your lock screen? i love it haha
[One (M7) Accessories] ibby2606:
Did you order the two tone one? I think only the two colour ones come with a covering for the sides. And haha I'll update this post later with the files for it! I made it on widgetlocker btw.
[One (M7) Accessories] ria__x:
widget locker, will get that app then :D

no it was just a single tone one, maybe i will get two-tone then. have you tried it with a case on?
[One (M7) Accessories] rafael000:
what clock is that?
[One (M7) Accessories] kancherlapraneeth:
wow.. It really look nice with the skin on
[One (M7) Accessories] nexicon:
My God those color combos are fantastic!! I've been frequently looking through their ebay listings but I guess they must have just uploaded more skins or something. Only thing stopping me is that it's in the UK and I ordered a red carbon fiber one. I'm also a loyal dbrand Customer and curious as the fitment
[One (M7) Accessories] ibby2606:
I believe the app is called One more clock free widget, if you search that it should come up on the playstore.

The fitment is pretty good overall if you have the time and patience haha, also you can take it off and reapply it a few times, it doesn't lose the adhesiveness. I live in the UK so it's all good for me :P

And yup I tried it with two different cases, the two front pieces do get raised slightly on the corners, but I guess you could avoid that by not putting those pieces on. You can push em down but the cases I have tried are really snug so makes it kinda hard! Oh well guess I'll use it without a case :P
[One (M7) Accessories] theroo:
Do you have an email address to smartskin for those who want to order outside of ebay
[One (M7) Accessories] riotman:
I've got the combo walnut wood and white wood ... those stickers got a nice quality! I use them with a combo of a alu bumper . it simply feels better than a plastic case
[One (M7) Accessories] jo.sta:
Hi riotman,

Can you please post more pics of your wood skin and bumper combo? Was thinking of having the same setup.

Thank you!

[One (M7) Accessories] kancherlapraneeth:

Their quality and feel. At LEAST compared to dbrand. Which I, no doubt, believe that dbrand can't be beat with their quality and precision
[One (M7) Accessories] kancherlapraneeth:
I also used & bought dBrand skins, but these skins also look good to me and dBrand skin costs 2 X compared to this skin :) But I agree on your point about quality

[One (M7) Accessories] speedofheat:
Thanks to the OP for bringing this seller to our attention. I've ordered a bunch of different skins for the HTC One and the 15" Retina MacBook. Let's see how they turn out.
[One (M7) Accessories] snowwhite007:
Hey guys I'm pretty good friends with the guy who runs smartskins and after talking to him he is going to start taking custom skin orders for anyone wanting graphics etc. The fitment is perfect and the quality is great I have ordered a custom skin with my website logo on it so will post pics tommorow when it arrives full custom skins are about £40 so it beats most on price that are of same quality
[One (M7) Accessories] ElBeaner:
Might look at them when I get tired of my Matte protection.
[One (M7) Accessories] SMJx:
Do you think it would help in a drop+
[One (M7) Accessories] ChrisDang:
Looks very pleasing but the only thing that bothers me is the fit of the front top & bottom grill stickers. They seem a little too small length and heighth regardless of positioning as I still see surface area on top and on both sides of the top grill sticker, and on both sides of the bottom grill sticker.

Any idea if SmartSkin is going to (or if they already have) revise these to make a better fit? Again very pleased with the aesthetics, looks very nice other than the fitting!
[One (M7) Accessories] magnumtripod:
i really love by casemate tough case, but I just ordered this skin in brushed slate and might try it with an aluminum bumper.

any ideas

thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] EasyAI:
I've never heard of anything really... Not on android at least. Have you tried the Sony app "PlayMemories Online"?

I understand it has some features for presenting picture and video nicely, and facebook integration, but I've never used it. I am pretty sure it doesn't compile it all into one video or anything automagical like that, but it can't hurt to check it out. Maybe you can at least compromise with it.

Or maybe because benchmark tests don't really mean anything

You think I will not lose performance? At the moment I do not have any "super perfrmance" game to test it.

I do not really believe this. Install a JB stock release for your region with PC Odin. Or install PhilZ kernel and then try one of the available Custom Roms.

If I believe you: so you read all solutions before and I d not need to give you the links to the sticky tutorials related to this.

Good luck.

OK, I am sorry, I guess I didn't see all the solutions yet. Yes, I need links. I don't know how to install JB stock release. I don't know what PC Odin means. I basically read that I must have rooted my device and now I can't install updates and that if I wipe the device it will be able to install firmware update.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
Sorry, but no links. You are a member since Nov 2011. You should know about the simple way of searching for sticky threads in a forum already. If you are too lazy to do this, then you should stop thinking about manual updates and custom roms, kernels etc.

But you could continue asking for spoon-feeding. There might be other members here that aren't tired of this way of being a part of XDA and they will post the links for you.
