[Google Chromecast] swampshadow:
I got mine from Amazon yesterday and I have troubleshooted extensively. No matter what I do I cannot get sound.

I have:

Made sure all volumes were cranked up (TV, Device, Chrome Tab, Audio Enabled)

I have tested on my PC's browser (Video, no sound)

Tested Google music on Phone and Tablet (Video, no sound)

Tested different HDMI ports (Video, no sound)

Tested a Roku box (Video and Sound)

I cannot find anything on the internet regarding anybody else having this issue. Did I get a bum unit? Any other advice? Please HELP!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaimeD:
Hi there,

Since a while my galaxy s2 appears to be having trouble with the camera on the back. It occurs when using the back camera in any app. The stock camera app has this problem, but third party apps like snapchat and instagram have the problem as well.

I use a samsung based custom ROM, which only has some changes in the system UI. I flashed siyah kernel. All camera options are 'auto', except for the flash, which i don't use very often. Resolution is set to 8mp and FullHD filming appears to have the same issue.

Anyone who knows possible solutions? I'll add some back cam photos. Only the photo of my hand had flash on.

Browsing is crucial for mobile devices-how did they get it so wrong?

I've had the Samsung Galaxy S3 for about 2 months and its been great otherwise

These examples are using the stock browser (but the issues have occurred in all browsers I've tried).

1. Copy/pasting is very poor. Often I can select all the text expcept the first letter. Often you cant "see"what your copying. Where's the undo button!?

2. Scrolling sites is terrible-I'm always clicking links by mistake.*

3. Scrolling blurs so much when scrolling-not smooth at all.*

4. I'm constantly clicking the soft keys by mistake-like when stretching my hand to switch tabs etc.

5. Often I have to double or triple click links to get a response.*

6. Despite placing the cursor somewhere on the site, often my writing frustratingly ends up else where. Also happens when copy/paste-always pastes at the top of my text (not where the cursor is).

Do these things bother anyone else or am I doing something wrong? I hate to admit it but I'm considering iOS...

Dude, sounds like you have 4 years old device, what you are describing is definitely not s3.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ycon:
Haha yes-didn't mean to rant on so much.

I think a lot of it can be associated with the stock browser. So I'll use Chrome for now.

However, where is the 'undo' typing feature? And is there any mod to use a quick toggle (or something) to disable the soft keys? Thx
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
First thing I suggest is install clipper+

Great clipboard utility, sits on status bar, apparatus available, you can store clippings/paragraphs, edit them, see immediately what you have copied etc

Also for copying links it pays to zoom in,, however you could try dolphin browser with jetpack html add on, then if you click on 2 adjacent links it will show the little magnifier window with both links or buttons

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4wkst3p:
Ok so I had gt-s5830 for a year and a half and flashed lots of roms, but a few months ago it started doing some strange things that never happened before (all of these are on STOCK ROM, I faced it with DDKQ6 and XWKTM because I usually use these two but I bet it would do that on every firmware because it never did it before):

- when deodexing with adb permissions in /system/app always set to rw-rw-rw- instead of rw-r--r-- and it makes possible to adb-push and use system app without rebooting but it never did it before (both kq6-ktm)

- when flashing cf-root 3.7 b84 by ketut everything is fine (except for the next issue of the list), then if I try battery extender (based on cf-root b83 that also cause me this issue) it changes su command's permissions (as it says titanium backup) to wrong ones, and even if I fix them it will causes problems like soft brick if I use mobile odin and slow restore from titanium (never happened before) (both kq6-ktm)

- still on cf-root/battery extender, sometimes wifi turns on but just don't receive any data, and when it does, mobile data will not turn on anymore and offline mode gets stuck, it sometimes gets solved with a reboot but not everytime (both kq6-ktm)

- some init.d script just don't work, like on dta2sd that says to me that I need to do an a2sd repair, then swap and zipaligning at boot don't work (kq6-ktm) or even project silk and similars

- when I try to flash slaid's gpu rendering patch my phone just don't make it to reach even bootanimation and I need to reflash the whole firmware

these are the main problems I'm getting that never happened before... is it normal so I can do something to fix it or my phone just need to be changed because is getting old?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vampirøs:
dear friend:

i didnt read all the issues ,because they are a lot , so if facing all this , simply stop using stock , specially for our ace there are so many smooth roms like merge rom and nitrogen and cm10.1 modded by mardon , plus there are many perfect scripts to make your phone smooth like hell ,hope that i helped :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:
The problem is the stock rom itself & not your phone. When you root your stock using upd_1.zip & you flash an alternative kernel to support init.d scripts, the root begins to act weird. All I can say is, root on stock is unstable for changes. You can either keep complete stock or you can just flash a custom rom. Or if you root the stock, you'll have to keep changes within the limits.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4wkst3p:
I've already tried lots of custom roms but stock has better battery life and lots of useful stuff for me so I'd rather stay on stock if I can find a solution.. Thanks btw

So do you mean I should root it with kernel itself to avoid problems? And could I change kernel after that or is it dangerous?

Also: with custom roms based on stock with battery extender kernel I'm getting the Titanium Backup error... What? :confused:

Thanks a lot ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vampirøs:
he means that if you root your stock ,you better not flash a kernel, it will cause some problems, and for titanium backup, before backing up or restore apps , enable andorid debugging in settings to avoid errors

Sent from my legend ACE using tabatalk
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4wkst3p:
But I always keep it enabled lol the error is about wrong permissions on su command

And if I flash it when I haven't rooted it yet? :confused:

EDIT: And if I don't flash kernels on stock rooted rom will roms like touchwiz 5 by Nathan still give me wrong su permissions error like it does now?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
mmm no,,,

Wipe all your data (3 CWM Wipes) and try yo flash the rom again
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h4wkst3p:
Well I just tried two scenarios:

After all cwm wipes

Flashed stock ddkq6 and just rooted it without kernels then deodexed and again wrong permissions in /system/app

Same with xwktm

Flashed stock ddkq6 only changed kernel and after deodex same thing again

It may be not a problem but all the issues on my first post start with wrong permissions in system...

What's happening to my phone D:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:
Try a different root explorer. I'm saying this because I sometimes have strange issues with ES file explorer. Also as far as I know, su doesn't integrate well into the stock ROMs. Try freeing up some space in system by deleting some bloatware. Try using SD maid pro. Finally, try a fix permissions via recovery. Probably this might solve your problem.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARSexxRE:
Android 4.3 Camera Security Bug - Samsung Galaxy Nexus upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 via OTA.

Anyone who recently upgraded can try and replicate this issue.

After upgrade launch the camera, try to set as default settings as you can (not sure if this matters, but try turning off the camera flash).

Use the rear facing camera, press the shutter button as fast as you can, look in the gallery. You might find that photos you previously took and deleted have resurfaced.

Try the same thing with the front facing camera.

I was able to "recover" photos taken and deleted a couple weeks ago using this method. I'm guessing that something in the software can't keep up so it finds old photos and uses them for some reason. After a few rounds of doing this, the problem went away, so maybe it cleared out some kind of cache or used up whatever leftover deleted photos there were.

Anyone else able to replicate?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technaudio:
Whole photos or just the thumbnail? I've had a similar thing on an archos tablet where the thumbnail is an old, deleted photo, but when you select it to display full size, it's the one that was just taken.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARSexxRE:
It was the whole photo viewed in the gallery. Swipe left from the camera app and the previously deleted photos were viewable. Tap once, they fill the screen, pinch to zoom they enlarge. I didn't try downloading them to my computer through USB. The problem went away after a few rounds of doing this and deleting all available photos, it was quite disconcerting in terms of privacy. The front camera and rear camera seemed to have their own separate caches of deleted photos as the issue happened with each independently. I ended up doing a factory reset which hopefully will be good enough. Nothing special about my device, Galaxy Nexus GSM, purchased from the play store, always upgraded through OTA, never unlocked, never custom ROMs, never rooted, etc...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krog216:
Hello all,

I currently have the funds for the Nexus 10. I've had my eyes on this for a while, but something has came up every time I've gotten close(I'm just a high school student who does marching band, so no time for a job.). I'll be getting the 16GB version, as I'll be mostly just using it for web browsing, and streaming the occasional video from YouTube or Play Movies. I keep all of my music on my GNexus. The idea of sitting on the couch with the N10 and pushing stuff to my Chromecast(arriving via UPS any minute) is really, really appealing. So anyway, is it still a good buy this late in the cycle? I know a new version is coming, but that could be months off, and I'd really like to jump on it now while I have the funds.

Thank you so much!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Well if you only have enough for 16 GB (that's no where near enough space for me and I'm also a highschool student) I'd wait and save up more money and maybe you'll have enough for the newer one with more memory once its out. Or you can get another tablet for a similar price with SD card storage. Anyways I have the 32 GB version and its great with just enough space. I usually have 5-6 GB free but I don't like filling them memory because it causes slow downs and stuff. But if you really want the nexus 10 its still a top device to buy. You could also use otg to connect SD card (search it if you don't know what it is) but I don't really like having it hanging off the side of my tablet
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
If you really want it and would get a lot of use out of it from now to late November (when the next tablet will likely come out), I'd say go for it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
It will be good long past this November.

Pre 4.3 I'd say no it isn't worth the money. With the fixes in 4.3 its a great tablet. The internals are newer then the new Nexus 7 and its a strong performer. I love mine.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaFractor:
I also feel that the existing N10 is still a good value. As the Nexus 7 2 release was identical to it's release time for the prior model, you'll see November 12th as the possible time for the N10 replacement in my estimation (could change).

As the Exynos dual core processor in the N10 is outperforming a number of tabs with Tegra 3 chipsets, it's a decent performing tab.

That stated, there are several options at the moment:

1. Sony Xperia (sp?) Tab Z. Take it swimming with it's waterproof design? Nah, the touch capabilities don't work underwater.

2. Toshiba Excite, uses new Tegra 4 chipset.

But the features of the excellent speaker configuration, PPI and screen resolution with decent performance CPU/GPU for todays games, yeah the N10 is still a very good match.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joakim_one:
If you're just going to use it as a remote for your Chromecast, almost any tablet will do. I'd seriously consider the new Nexus 7 that just came out, which is going to sell millions and whose first revision was already one of the best-selling Android tablets, selling a lot more than the Nexus 10.

If you want a 10" screen, you may want to look at the new Toshiba Excite tablets that just came out last week, if you're willing and able to pay more for performance, ie the Excite Pro and Write have quad-core A15 chips, as opposed to the dual-core A15 in the current Nexus 10, and microSD card slots but cost $100-200 more. If you're willing to wait, the new Asus Transformer and Nexus 10 will be coming out in a couple months.

Also the buttons are smooth, not rubberized like the original, and don't extend out as far, so they are slightly harder to use.

I have hunted for details of the new XXLT9 update and can find virtually nothing. We have 2 notes running LSO/LSZ very well indeed with good battery life and little lag and wonder what the total benefits/losses are of the new update. If it helps any one. I put our good battery life down to this, (phones have never been rooted by the way.) disable all unused/undesired apps.. yahoo etc, but clear each unwanted programs cache and data first then take the green tick out and only then disable. Even all the other programs you use take the green ticks out except chaton / messages /email and any other necessary priority app, I mean literally go through every app and take out the green tick unless its needed then set email to manual sync unless your a business, set the screen mode to the lowest brightness setting acceptable to you, then put power saving on in the task bar set screen time out to 15 secs unless your doing something special and turn brightness down as low as you find you can.I have just 27 good apps on mine (green ticks are out.). I have mentioned disabling for another reason as well, I noticed with the last maps and the play services updates that you cannot disable them or take the ticks out and I'll be surprised if I'm the only one out of millions who disables these, I mean why if you you use maps once or nonce a day should you leave it spying on you and using your data all day reporting back to google and taking up ram but I'm thinking the new update XXLT9 will have all the latest google versions baked in so people can't uninstall the updates back to the version they can disable, if this turns out to be the only reason ,thinly veiled by some little unworthy treat I'll stay put, but if theres any good new features/benefits it would be good if some one could share.
