[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeZbies:
Well, I came across this device accidentaly I've just realized it was the best buy I ever did.

At least here in Brazil this device is not popular, but I was comparing CxB with other phones, it's the best choice.

It's performance is better than S3, Nexus 4, 7 and 10 (see images below). No, it's not laggy.

It's main issues: It heats too much (to benchmark it I had to put it inside a freezer, otherwise it restarts). In a hot day it's battery can reach 35º C easily and it's pretty umconfortable to manage it.

Another problem is with the camera, in a clear environment the camera is great, but it has much granulation when and wrong colors even when you have good ilumination. For example, one day I was at a bridge and took a photo while it was cloudy and the image really sucks, had a lot of miscouloured dots.

Though, it's flash amazed me, it's a little led, but it can clarify a whole dark room easily.

In video mode it gets clear audio even if you're far, because its second microfone. It records in 720p (could be 1080p) and even slight shakes on the camera it distorts the imag.e

Sound is good both on earphones and speakers, and default player is easy to manage, beautyful, and offer some interesting tweaks, like the automatic download of tracks information.

In general lines it's a great device, the problems with camera and overheat incomodates me, but the are not a reason to not buy this guy.

AHhh, Almost forgot, it's battery about 7 hours when playing hard games, for example, asphalt 8. I usually put it on the charger once at each 2 days.

See the benchmarks:

Notice I've slightly overclocked the phone (1728MHz to 1836MHz), but it still great withou overclock.

Thanks

I'm sorry for intruding in your thread but I didn't want to start a new one.

I'm thinking of buying the SP but I really want to know are there any problems with the microphone when talking with somebody?

Because I own Xperia Neo right now and a lot of my friends complain they can't hear me very good when we talk even If I talk louder...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Heimiko:
I've tried the new version (2.02) and it worked. Anyone who hasn't read about this application yet: it turns your JAM into a card reader, windows will recognize your PDA as a mass storage device rather then a mobile device.

Even though I stil had 21 days left to try, I bought it right away after testing.

Most perfect addition!

Yeah it's been out for over a week now.

I've been using the 'non-magician' compatible one for about 2 and a half weeks- thanks to a registry hack by 'Des' in this forum (for which he was acknowledged on the softick website).

Works a treat- will be buying in next day or so.

I have my phone installed with the latest TWRP version 2.6.0.0

I try to get in to the recovery mode but I only end up getting stuck at the blue TWRP logo screen.

Any solutions?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
Your not alone I've found that 2.6.0.0 really bites the big one I ended up just going back to 2.5.0.2
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Flash Philz Recovery and all should be fine
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thirsk:
This is practically my only gripe with TWRP 2.6.0.0. When this happens, you just have to keep powering it off and keep rebooting into recovery until it finally bites. If you don't want to try another recovery, i suggest persevering with 2.6.0.0 when flashing new ROMs and kernels, and reverting to 2.5.0.2 the moment that's done :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogg:
Hi Guys thanks for your reply

But if I want to go back to 2.5.0.2 does Nandroid backup work there? I tried with 2.6.0.0 but I ended up bricking my phone.

And also if I want this reverting do I just flash TWRP v2.5.0.2 over the installed TWRP v2.6.0.0 with odin v3.04?

Or do I have to flash a zip on my TWRP 2.6.0.0 lol... Which doesn't work so well because I can't access the main menu on TWRP! I just end up being stuck at that blue TWRP screen.

One last thing, which "android anti lag mod" do you prefer, Crossbreeder? Or is there different mods that are a bit better?

Hello everyone.

I have bought N7 2nd generation few days ago and I feel very uncomfortable with android 4.3.

Is there any solution for downgrade to 4.2 or lower?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Mach3.2:
No.

Beamed from my Grouper
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DsturbD:
define uncomfortable

did you not know this tablet had 4.3 stock?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lys2002123:
I have known..

But things what I have used don't support 4.3 and i didn't know that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DsturbD:
ahh yes that's true, there may be stuff out there that won't work on 4.3. Only thing i can say about that is to contact the dev and wait for an update to the app. i know that's not what you wanted to hear, sorry. other than that though how do you like it? i got mine a few days ago and its been fantastic, best android device i've ever owned
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lys2002123:
I am really content with my new android device nexus 7 :)

But... i think stereo speaker isn't louder than I expected.

It seems to have similar volume level with another devices..

And headphone jack is too quiet for me.

It is pretty much quieter than my ex-device Samsung Galaxy S2.

Is that only problem of mine?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DsturbD:
thats a good question, havent even tried the headphone jack yet, guess i will now :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lys2002123:
Good

How's yours? I think it is so quiet with high-impedance headphone.

I also think it maybe a problem of Android 4.3..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thenrik:
Hi:

What compatibility problems are you having with 4.3 vs 4.22--apps, hardware....

Tom
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lys2002123:
Some Korean apps... and sound mods like viper4android.

And i think 4.3's audio output is quieter than 4.2.

My N7 is sooo quiet, both headphones and speakers.

Low volume really makes me disappointed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Brava27:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lys2002123:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ongre12:
I think you would lose more than you would gain

Newer devices have advances that play well with the newer OS systems that are available so in my view retro versions may not work as well with some of the more advanced designs in the device thingy.

That said I feel the volume is plenty loud and in fact sounds really good. This is without a doubt the best 7" tablet available at this time. The Nexus 10 is the best 10" tablet available at this time, yes better than the apple products. The audio is better and the screens are better and you can set it up as you please a more mature attitude from the manufacturer if you will. Less hand holding, less paternalistic access to your device.

I bought mine at Office Max with the 20% discount, I felt that the price was almost unbelievable and was surprised when they had some left in stock.

I would like more memory 64GB would be nice but I rooted it and use stick mount to run videos and move files.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thenrik:
Hi:

You might want to try these JBL Bluetooth speakers--they are loud:

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009AYLDSU/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

As for Korean apps, you might try backing up the apk files and installing them. I know that Google says many of my Chinese apps are incompatible but they all work. Worth a try.

Let us know if you find a work around with bluetooth headphones, apps or anything else that works. It's going to be a rocky road with Bluetooth and 4.3. Many Bluetooth keyboards and some headphones don't work with 4.3. I'm reluctant to order anything Bluetooth without confirmation from others that it works with 4.3

I ordered some LG Bluetooth headphones in June. They worked with the Nexus 7 2012 but only played 1/4 volume on my Galaxy S3 so I returned them.

Keep us posted.

Tom
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nachtfrost:
My sound on the headphones is good/decent. At about 1/2 volume is comfortable to me.

I'm not much of an audiophile so I don't know how impedance effects the volume. It's not extremely loud at max volume, though. I'd probably still be able to hear my music while on the lawn mower or on my motorbike but not sure about a jet plane ^^

Speakers at max volume is fine for a quiet room, but outside it probably won't be very loud.

Hope this helped some.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

Just confirming that my bluetooth keyboard (made by Anker for ~$25 on Amazon) works.

I just paired it and this is the first thing I've typed. Seems to do well. I can even alt-tab to other stuff running. Sweet.

Also just connected my bluetooth apple mightymouse (or whatever they're called) and that's working as well (at the same time as the keyboard)

Maybe someone will see this and find it helpful =)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lys2002123:
Thank you for your valueable opinion.

To me, I'm very satisfied with another features and there was no intend to diminish Google or Nexus.

And I'm very proud of having brand-new nexus which have the sharpest screen among the world.

What I want to say is Nexus 7's audio quality is quite good but volume is low, lower than how I expected.

Within my experience, commonly, tablets usually make more powerful sound than phone but my Nexus 7 doesn't.

It seems to have simmilar power with phones. I just feel sad about that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lys2002123:
Thank you for attention.

Bluetooth is great and easy protocol for sharing small files or connect simple devices, but it is not so good for audio.

Nexus 7 doesn't support apt-x, so bluetooth will impair Nexus 7's quite good quality sound.

At this time I have no bluetooth device so I cannnot find which one works, which one doesn't.

Sorry for bad answer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lys2002123:
Maybe mine seems simmilar with yours, so I can think my device isn't corruped or something.

In fact I doubted my Nexus is a normal or not.

Thanks, thanks again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
Speakers are really loud. Comparable to my sons Samsung Tab and much much louder then the first gen.

As for apps, just because some apps haven't been given the green flag for 4.3 doesn't mean I won't work. I've sideloaded tons of apps that work fine.

Nothing really different between 4.3 and 4.2 cosmetically. You shouldnt want to downgrade just because a few devs haven't updated yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] clmowers:
You would have to find a ROM that boost the volume. Just going to 4.2.2 wont increase your volume. I've been playing around with some stuff to boost volume and hopefully will have a mod out soon for it

But player is right...the diff between 4.2 and 4.3 are min. They did make a lot of battery saving tweaks, BT stack tweaks and other hardware tweaks but its more hardware related then os related :)

Hey guys,

I've just bought my HTC One (Sprint). Coming from an EVO 4G, which I rooted years back, the rooting process is obviously much different.

(1) What is the most current and preferred method of rooting?

(2) I don't care about adding custom roms or anything like that on this phone; I actually pretty much love the stock UI. Is it possible, once rooted, to keep it completely stock

AND

also give myself the privilege of using the WIFI Hotspot and Tethering capability on the phone?

(3) Lastly, I'm not getting notifications of new emails through Gmail in a timely manner. It takes at MINIMUM 10 minutes, sometimes 20, for me to receive a notification of a new email. I've tried connecting to WIFI, leaving WIFI off and with 4G connection it still does it. Regardless of data connectivity. Battery saver is also off. Is there some sort of sync frequency setting I'm unaware of? Fixed. I found out that for some reason a combination of the new GMAIL and Wifi, AND sub-folder nonsense was causing it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] krazyflipj:
Search for qbking77s video on YouTube on how to unlock and root. Once rooted, you can use WiFi tether app that's floating around in xda
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Qbking77's method is awesome.

And you should try flashing some ROMs. The custom kernels can really bring out the best in your phone. You can get like 5 hours screen time or you can over clock and absolutely kill games like Real Racing 3 and Modern Combat 4.

And if you download a CPU tuner of any type, MAKE SURE the frequencies are set to like 300mhz min and 1.7Ghz max. Be especially careful on AOSP ROMs. Keep chexking your settings in the Settings menu and it the CPU tuning app.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
I would recommend trying ViperRom One it's basically an optimized stock Rom
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vally78:
I recently reset my phone using the steps outlined in verizons preferred and alternate method with the same results. I made sure to uncheck the box to allow google to backup and restore my files/preferences/apps. But when i look on the phone storage there are remnants of OLD programs (folders) and a couple of pictures, all of which i had assumed would be gone after the factory reset. What did i do wrong? How do i know which folders the phone actually uses, and which are crap that i can delete?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXKSSnapper:
A factory reset won't clear your internal storage. Your best bet is to backup everything you need off of the internal storage, and then delete everything and restore what you backed up.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vally78:
so hypothetically, everything listed in "device storage" when browsing the phone files is not required for the phone to work? I delete everything in the device storage and still factory reset the phone?

EDIT: WHO KNEW! i deleted the files in storage and it still went through the factory reset just fine. i now have a phone again, not a brick. TY. I guess i was just too cowardly to try it without asking first.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TXKSSnapper:
Correct, some apps store data on the internal storage, and that is the folders you are seeing. If you delete them all anything that is coming from an app you use will be recreated when it is needed.

Hey guys,

My wife's phone is acting all kinds of strange, but the latest has got me puzzled to no end.

I saw her use her phone not even 30 minutes ago, and then it crashed and is not booting up. It's charged 100%, as we leave it on the chargers all night, so it's not the battery. Plus, I even switched batteries with my phone (we have the same model).

It does this completely at random, and I have no way of determining what went wrong.

Most of the time, I can get it to come back up by holding Vol Up and the Power buttons, then inserting the battery.

This morning, it won't even respond to that.

I'm so tempted to throw her phone through the wall, however, I can't afford to do so. :p
