How does this cable work? Ive never neen anything like this..

Is there another line in jack im not seeing or does the sound output from the micro usb?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Dragoon209:
Yes, it attaches through the micro USB. My understanding is, that there is a resistor on the 'Sense' wire of the usb that triggers dock mode, and enables audio to travel over the Data + and - wires.

At least, that's how the dock worked for the older Galaxy S models.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MikaelPe:
The iBOLT Dock'n Play cable...

All, the cable you're discussing is available from us at iBOLT on Amazon here, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PN6APM When the microUSB is inserted it triggers "DockMode" in any Samsung Galaxy S3, S4 or Note I & II. You can go into "Accessory-Settings" and select "audio out" and "dock mode screen". This means the sound from all Apps (not phone calls though) will go to the 3.5 mm aux-out jack so there's only ONE cable needed for charging AND playing music to a car-stereo or home surround sound system (if they feature a 3.5 mm female connector). Also, with the DockMode apps like iBOLT Dock'n Drive, CarHome Ultra, Ulysee Speedometer, can be set as default "home screen" apps. You can also set TuneIn and Slacker Radio as "home screen". Summary: No need for a separate aux-out cable when using the Dock'n Play cable... Great accessory for home or in the car. I'll stay tuned to the conversation if anyone has follow up questions.

So what's so special at iBOLT cable? why I can't use the same cable like attached in the picture in the first thread..

how come no one make cheaper cable thats do the same thing?

thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mydonose:
The cable on the first picture doesn't work with S4. It was perfect for S3 but not for S4
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 0ren:
as I far as I know, it's because firmware update, there's no any mod/patch that can override it, and let us use this cable?

iBOLT cable working on S4, but it cost 20$, which is alot for simple cable.. so if their cable works, I don't see any reason why the other cables wont work.

I have an HTC flyer and I'm really considering grabbing the new nexus 7 with the qualcomm processor.

I don't want to throw it away and bestbuy is a straight up ripoff offering 20$ max trade in value for it.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casper89:
Hi there,

I have a rooted 3G Nexus 7. I ran the notification to run an OTA update for 4.3 Jellybean, it rebooted into TWRP, and I blindly said yes. Eventually I confirmed TWRP to allow it to fix root permission. I tried rebooting, but I ended up getting stuck at the X screen. Tried a few resets, but that didn't work. I Googled a bit, cleared the cache and the dalvik cache on TWRP, and came across this.

I got lazy, and probably shouldn't have done most of what I had done, so I'd like to know if there is a way to fix this without having to reflash the ROM.

I got impatient waiting for a response, so I just flashed Cyanogen on it, thinking this would be the most opportune time to try it out hehe. To anyone else who runs into the issue and sees this, I'm 99% sure that you could just flash stock on too, but I wanted to try out a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaScout:
After experimenting for a while with my launcher, a small, but annoying detail has drawn my attention.

As you can see on the screenshots, there are different areas of wallpaper displayed on lockscreen and homescreen. This difference causes unpleasant "animation" when unlocking the screen. I've noticed, that Nexus 4, for instance, doesn't have this issue. Its lockscreen always looks at the same wallpaper area that was last active at the homescreen.

Is this possible to configure my lockscreen the same way?

P.S. I've attached capture of lockscreen, homescreen and the wallpaper itself. I hope that helps.

This is correct - I'm using Spanish stock 4.1.2. Regarding the transparent lockscreen: I'm not sure that I want to see the whole icons/widgets set all the time, because this is what a transparent locker does.

Do you familiar with the "crop boxes"? They are blue rectangles which appear while setting a new wallpaper. Is this something I can use to achieve the wanted result?

[Hardware Hacking General] crazy4creationstudios:
Heres my dream: a tiny Android that appears to be a "dumb"phone when in reality it's a beefed up Huawei M835.

This is a far fetched idea but I want to mod my Huawei M835 to run JellyBean 4.3, smoothly.

I was on iFixit today and it made me get into that kind of mood. What if I bought a dual core processor among other chips and IC's and went to work? Is it possible to find such hardware that is compatable with this phone? Or even a new motherboard that will fit (of course with some adjustments) and/or a new screen, camera, etc.?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magus57:
Not sure what it is, but I haven't been able to get a solid GPS fix since I got the phone. Any other phone I use may take a minute, but it'll get a pretty accurate fix afterward - 50 feet or less. And this is in the same exact place.

I sat with the phone and the GPS Test app by Chartcross initially, and had 24 satellites in view. I went and downloaded FasterGPS and updated the GPS for US servers (since the Mini came from France I believe), and now I can get between 3 and 6 in use, but it only locks very rarely, and even when it does, it's only to like 500 feet in accuracy. As I'm typing, it randomly jumped to 7 satellites, accuracy bounced between 200 and 300 feet...and a few seconds later it went back to no lock and going between 3 and 6 in use.

Suggestions? I already rooted the phone, as well as installed Xposed and Crossbreeder. And of course, I have all proper GPS settings turned on.

EDIT: I went and did that simple fix all around the web of tightening the screws...didn't seem to help much. I went outside, and had no problem getting like 20/23 satellites, accuracy to like 5 feet. But as I go inside, I lose accuracy/satellites, until I get to my apartment and have nothing again. Is the S4 Mini's GPS antennae just weaker than other's?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
When indoors, did you turn your wifi on?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magus57:
Nope, always used data for the phones. And even using Wifi on the S4 Mini doesn't seem to help in terms of a GPS fix.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
I've noticed on all 3 android phones I've had, that gps generally doesn't work indoors.

I did get a faster fix outdoors using the app GPS Status and updating the A-GPS data from within the Tools menu.

You should also try moving in one direction as you are trying to get a fix outdoors - always works for me.

Bad ESN is either due to ending contract without paying bill and ETF or losing the phone and reporting it stolen and then finding it. The carrier blocks the ESN after either of those.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaly_n:
So basically this is the idea:

in the zip, there is

/system/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg

/bash_script/backup.sh

I want to move the original Lock.ogg to /system/media/audio/backup/

thank, unpack the new package

delete the script from /tmp/system

here what I have in the updater script:

ui_print("****************************************");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
ui_print("Extracting sounds... ");
ui_print("");package_extract_dir("cache", "/cache");
package_extract_dir("bash_script", "/tmp/bash_script");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/bash_script/backup_create.sh");
run_program("tmp/bash_script/backup_create.sh");
delete("/tmp/bash_script/backup_create.sh");
ui_print("Backup created!");
ui_print("");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/cache");unmount("/data");
unmount("/system");
ui_print("****************************************");

here is the .sh part:

mkdir -p /system/media/audio/backup;
cp /system/media/audio/ui/Lock.ogg /system/media/audio/backup;

now after reboot it says system process failed to load or similar error, which of course if eliminated via "fix permissions"

I had this line in the code too:

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");

which of course... just fcked up my phone and won't boot :D but glad I make backup, if you ask, I just copied this code thinking it would resolve the problem... well... it wasn't.

well the main question.

what permissions to set back, where to, and what lines should I add?

EDIT:

rough set back but

delete_recursive("/cache");

delete_recursive("data/dalvik-cache");

resolved the problem

I find lagfix very good t speeding the tab up again. It performs a trim on the partitions which in essence defrags them. You get the same effect by doing a full wipe and reinstalling everything so lagfix takes away that pain.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, fstrim is not similar to defrag - it's actually something entirely different and even works on a different layer. And full wipe and reinstalling does not replace trimming (it does replace defrag though) - in fact, it makes the situation even worse.

Background: Flash storage needs to be erased before it can be rewritten because the write operation can only change bits in one direction. Erasing takes long and works only in big blocks (in the order of 8 MB). Normal filesystems like ext4, exFAT or NTFS don't know anything about flash storage - they were created for magnetic media where you can simply overwrite what you want to change, and leave around things you don't need until you overwrite them with new data (btw, that's the reason why undelete tools work).

So where is the magic that erases blocks when needed? In the Flash Translation Layer inside the eMMC. This tries to hide the peculiarities of flash memory from the outside world, so the filesystem can happily overwrite a 512 byte block and the FTL pretends everything works as on magnetic media.

Well, almost. Since overwriting on flash is not physically possible, what really happens is that the FTL finds some empty block, copies the remaining part of the original flash block merged with the new changed sector to the new block, and updates some management information to be able to find the data again later. This is why random writes are so painfully slow - small writes become big writes internally.

But it can get even worse - what if there are no empty blocks left? Remember that the filesystem simply leaves unused blocks as they are and overwrites them when needed. So even if you have just formatted your filesystem and you have 60 GB free space, the FTL inside the eMMC doesn't know - it just sees lots of blocks that have some data written to them (from before formatting), so it must consider them important. If no free blocks are available when writing data, some block needs to be erased (slow!) and rewritten completely. This is what we want to avoid with trimming.

So what fstrim does is it tells the eMMC "these blocks are free, you can forget what's inside and pre-erase them". So future writes are faster until the pre-erased blocks are used up again.

This also means that fstrim will not magically make anything faster as long as free erased blocks are available. If you have 10 GB free and you run fstrim once, running it again before 10 GB of data have been written to flash memory will not improve performance.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ridewithme7306:
Ok, so i have done a weeks worth of research on how to (on a custom Verizon cyanogen 10 jelly bean 4.2.2 based rom) change the built in carrier for roms. I have had no luck. So thought i would put it out their and ask someone with the know how/developing skills to lend a hand on this subject. The phone is a verizon samsung galaxy fascinate I500, flashed (carrier flashed) to cricket. I have tried numerous roms and always end up restoring the original rom back due to issues with 3g, text, and mms.

The rom is Hellybean rom cyanogen mod 10.xx jb 4.2.2 that uses devil kernal

I have also tried qpst but cannot access the phone due to not being able to put it into diag mode via samsungs touchwiz. As youwell probably know, their is no touchwiz. Anyhow, anyone have the expertice to lend a hand in this issue?

Tried modifying apn,s by acessing apns through the voice dial, no luck

Also:

Tried manually replacing the eri.xtl, apn-config.xtl, from the u2nl file and running the sh script manually to change build.scrip on cricket-jig-fix.zip as well as installing it through recovery. NO LUCK! my suspicions are that the rom has an autostart.sh script built in to run verizon services (prls and apns) at boot which may be the cause of all my efforts going down the drain, but im not sure where to (if this may even be the case) find the autostart.sh file. Even if i did idk if i would have the knowledge to modify it to my needs except manually replacing it through a pre-written u2nl file that i obtained along the lines that has the cricket prls, apns, apn-config.xtl, the change-apn-config.xtl sh script as well as a autostart.sh file to run it all at boot. all in all nothing seems to do the trick!

So with all that being said, i hope their is someone to help me with this. Been frustrating!

jelly bean 4.2.2 does not allow 3rd party apn changing, theirfore i canno use apn backup app.

Cant believe someone out their hasnt made a tool to flash custom roms. To certain carriers. Have all the files preloaded and just hit flash.
