[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Not exactly sure, but I thought you also needed to have the bootloader locked (or relocked) and no root (has to be odexed stock rom, so root wouldnt be included).

But, as I said, I'm not 100% sure.

Hope someone can add more info, as I am also interested.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeyesofthousandx:
Just gonna add my input here.

I'm more than 90% sure that if you have S-Off, you can flash the OTA using rebootRUU (downloading the OTA, connecting your phone to the computer, extracting the firmware.zip and flashing using fastboot oem rebootRUU, then fastboot flash zip firmware.zip) provided you're running some version of the previous firmware with a locked bootloader.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about this.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Two things:

1- how do you get the OTA if you're not 100% stock? It wont download unless your phone is "recognized" to be stock and locked/relocked

2- if it is an official OTA, then the firmware would be signed anyway, so you dont need s-off. if you are s-off then you can flash ANY firmware from any MID & CID found on the various threads here (that's how I was able to update). Otherwise you CID and MID have to match a signed firmware
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
The dev edition comes factory shipped bootloader unlocked. So, really the only changes I made to the phone are s-off and root. Could that be why I received my OTA? Perhaps my specific update takes that into account?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
OTAs will be fine, you might lose root, but putting it back is easy enough, same procedure as before.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauprankul:
I think you can keep S-off and unlocked bootloader. You need stock recovery though.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking. I also have stock recovery as well. Thanks for the reassurance!

Hey xda Community,

this is my first thread, i hope i dont do anything wrong :fingers-crossed:

So i just flashed CM 10.1 yesterday and its awesome and so on but for myself the Sound on Headphones was kinda low. So i tried to increase it by Default_gain.conf aaaaaaaand i realised, cyna dont have this conf file. :D

After some Research i found this way which i will show you below to increase the volume on Galaxy Note 2 :

What you need :

-----------------------------------------------------------

Root Explorer

Rooted Galaxy Note 2 with CM10.1 ( I dont know if this works for CM10.2 but i think it will) ->>Doesnt work in 10.2

thats it :D

-----------------------------------------------------------

1. Open Root Explorer

2. Go to System -> etc -> Sound

3. There should be a config file named "t03g"

4. Open it with any text Editor ( you have to Change a Value so be sure you have permissions)

5. Scroll down to this section :

<device Name= "Headphone">

6. Change the Value from "50" to "57" "<ctl Name="Headphone Volume" val=57"/> (attached you will find a screenshot :) )

7. Restart your phone!

This makes your Galaxy Note 2 louder on cynagogenmod :) Well for me it did.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Final words :

I dont really understand how this val works :D I frist tried "val" 70 and the Sound was significant quieter than val "50". So i tried "val30" and it was louder than "val 70" :confused:

Then i just tried values between "50-60". "59" was to loud for me and "57" was perfect :)

If someone know why this works like that, Explanation is much appreciated :D

aaaaaaaaaand last but not least : sorry for my bad english, im just more than 24 hrs awake. Please dont grammar nazi me :) :D

oh i almost forgot : Be careful with this, im not responsible for your Actions!

It is not working on CM 10.2.. Moreover after editing the file the sound is completely gone like there is no pyhsical speaker. Even though I edit the value back to 50 still there is no sound. The only way to bring sound back is to flash the CM 10.2 ROM and Gapps again.. Do you know why?

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rotor86:
Hey guys...

First time poster on here and after some BIG help... any will be useful and i thank you in advance for taking the time...

Ok without writing a novel i will give as much information as i can without beating around the bush. Then followed by details on the phone.

Issue:

So no matter what kernel or ROM & apps (or no apps) i put on this phone it is always unstable and reboots itself. Some ROMS doesn't even load.

The phone has been rooted correctly 'used the samsung root tool kit' with the correct one for the phone Australia i9305 LTE version.

I used to have rXTREME 7 which was OK - it rebooted maybe 3-5 times a day if i was frequently using it, but annoying.

I tried the rXTREME12.1 installed fine, the phone was restored to default, Xache & Davik Cache where all cleared and installed rom on fresh system however it would just hang on the Samsung logo... and do nothing.. i have also tried the CyanogenMod and Paranoidandroid 3.97 halo ROM's and they wouldn't load....

Currently i have Ripper Rom and it works however whenever i try and do ANYTHING it reboots itself... i will be lucky to get a good 2mins of it working correclty without it having to reboot... So far this morning it has rebooted about 31 times (no joke i have been counting) just trying to access my email... Not matter what i do, replaying to MSG's trying to answer the phone (swipe just doesn't work) or it will just reboot itself...

In saying this i have also tried to unroot the phone and installed the standard OPTUS rom and it was also so unstable it would do the same thing, however would wipe any information i had put on the phone... apps, data, contacts...

Details on the Phone:

Australian LTE GT-i9305

Android V: 4.1.2

Baseband V: I9305XXBLL5

Kernel V: 3.0.31-1153417 dpi@DELL210 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 31 23:10:25 KST 2013

Build Number: Ripper ROM V17.2

Recovery: Team Win Recovery Project v2.3.30

Again please help!!! i am at at a end and want to smash the phone to peices.........

Thanks in Advance for any help or advice!

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] nateboi81:
Yeah it sounds like you've done everything so it sounds hardware related. If it's still under warranty hopefully you can still run triangle away to clear the flash counter before you send it in for repair but I don't think you have any other choice :(
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rotor86:
Thanks for the help guys..

I have a funny feeling it is hardware related as well :(

I do have triangle away, and the phone gets rid of all the flashes bar 1... it shows the count as 1... so don't know if warranty will cover it?

On that note of a stock flash, does anyone have the latest OPTUS Australian LTE version??????

Again, thanks for your time...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] nateboi81:
You need to flash triangle away and then boot into download mode and flash a stock rom. Should be able to find it on the sammobile website

update -

So the phone has another version of teamwin recovery v2.3.3.0 and installed the xrtreme13 rom and is completely fine... untill you put a sim card in the phone... I tired all the different modems and it still crashed...

If i put another sim in it, and still does it, does it mean the modem on the phone is borked? and should get a new one? or is there a fix for this???

However we did pin point what the problem is...

Can someone show me how I can wipe the /system partition on this phone? I installed the latest CyanogenMod fine and installed the latest gapps only later to find out the CWM recovery doesn't automatically check file MD5s and installed a corrupted gapps. Now I've erased the /data and /cache partitions multiple times along with reflashed only the CyanogenMod fresh yet no matter what ever since that gapps install I keep getting random force closure messages 2+ times a second about the stock keyboard and I can't type anything.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Zuber:
I'm in Ultra/Note3/One Max keep changing my mind mode at the moment. Bought myself a cheap gel case for the Ultra off eBay to practice does it fit in my pocket scenarios lol.

Anyway, don't know why, but for some reason, I've always been fond of things like mega powerful or really small key torches. One of those things you feel like you should buy/keep handy just in-case even though you don't really need it. Must be the kid in me...

So, given the lack of flash... I was wondering how well taking low light photos would work using one of those mini (run on an AA battery) type torches with along with the phone. They typically sell for a few quid, attach to a keyfob etc. You can get even smaller single LED ones that run off button type batteries, but I'm assuming these would be too underpowered.

Would using an external LED torch result in images similar to an inbuilt 'Flash' (actually just LED, not really a flash...) or are there other factors that mean it just wouldn't be the same ?

How many lumens or whatever does a typical led flash pump out. Is the brightness controlled as part of the exposure process, or is it just switched on due to low lighting and exposure decided afterwards ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
A strobe light (light from your device) - Will use less power and will capture motion better, will have deeper and richer colours.

Always on lights - The good thing is, what you see is what you get. Using a torch or external power source, you'll know and see exactly what you'll be taking an image of. However you will also need to mess with ISO to capture an equal quality image as opposed to strobe. (motion blur)

- Using an app that can do this will require A LOT of time fiddling, and may lose the moment... But the end result could enable a better quality image.

If you can get a very bright external light source then it will be better than the LED on a phone.

Phone LED are about 50-70 lumen... hope this helps...

So my question would be how would it compare to using a torch. Maybe with a diffusing material on it ?

By the way, plenty of cheap small waterproof torches around.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RaindancerAU:
My main concern would be trying to take a photo with the giant Z Ultra with one hand and shining the torch with the other .....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Zuber:
Don't think that would be an issue. We are talking small 1xAA torch, so torch is abot the size of your finger. Should be easy enough handle at same time as the phone if using both hands.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RaindancerAU:
I'm not sure ... I have enough problems taking a photo one handed with my Galaxy Nexus you see ....

I'm probably going to get a Honami as well anyway , so the Z Ultra will probably not need to perform many camera duties anyway and it wouldn't be for very long.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nicotine+:
It's better to use filter of camera then having weird torch with Giant Smartphone,i really disappointed with camera(also lake of led flash) but now i mostly use filter in low light conditions, just my experience.

I have just purchased the above smartphone and am having trouble finding the answers to a few basic questions:-

1. How do you turn off the MDA? The manual tells you to hold power button down for 2 seconds but this does not work. Aslo tried holding down for various time ranges. T-Mobile support tells me that you have to take out the battery which seems unreal given the number of places mobiles are banned.

2. Can you use the MDA functions without the phone (e.g. MP3 Player or Organiser while on a plane)?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Kind Regards

[General Topics] sh500:
I believe these devices do not actually turn off. Holding down the power button puts the device in to standy mode.

There is feature called 'Flight Mode' (check it out in your manual); This is the feature you would switch off in 'no mobile phone areas'. The 'phone' side of the device will not operate when in this mode but the rest of the PDA functions will.
[General Topics] LumpiStefan:
You have to press the power button for a short time -> Just press and release..... This turns off the display. The phone part will still be working.

In this case the MDA is completly off....

Yes you can. Therefor you´re able to turn of wireless communcations (Bluetooth and GSM) by activating flightmode....

HTH

[General Topics] vijay555:
You can never fully turn off a PocketPC- if you do, it will lose its memory and wipe everything in memory (not storage card). This can only happen if you remove the battery or don't charge for a long time.

However, turning off the phone with the power button puts it in standby mode, it's still awake to respond to schedules/alarms/phonecalls etc, but otherwise it's not doing much.

To go to flight mode, click on the network icon next to the clock and choose flight mode.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] theangryman:
Ok so I haven't upgrade yet, but I would like someone here to challenge my logic because I really like the aesthetics of the HTC one.

For a phone, I really like survivability. Especially a phone that can last for more than four years. One of the gripes I have with the HTC one was that it has a non-removable battery. At first, I didn't really mind since I can get portable chargers and what not. However, I then started to think about the long term quality of the battery. I would think that battery would start to degrade after two years.

With the S4, I can easily just slap a new battery when the old one starts to degrade.

I just want a phone that would last for four years and maybe potentially more.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] kennypow3rs:
You would possibly be the only person on earth that keeps a phone 2 or more years. The HTC one will definitely last as long as you need it too. Look at the iPhone, it has a non removable battery and it's very successful. I had my 4s almost two years and it needs a new battery; it says 100% but my battery stats app says it's really only charging to 70%. Im certain with only two years the battery has lost capacity. anyway, if you want a removable battery get the plastic s4, if you want a sturdy solid built phone that is probably one of the greatest android phones to date get the one. The battery life is really good, its been almost two days of moderate usage and I'm at 53%. It will be diff for every one.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] davidstech11:
I agree. If you feel the removable battery is better for YOU than get it. I don't worry about it since I don't keep using my device that long. And even if I do pass it on to family I will just send the device in to get the battery replaced IF anyone cares to use it still. After a few years I doubt it though since my family will be using a newer device.

Out of all my smartphones the HTC One is my favorite. Great device. Glad I got the 64GB model.

Honestly none of us knows the lifespan on the HTC One as it's only been out a few months. Only time will tell. If you plan on sticking with a phone for 4 years, I suggest you get the S4 since the battery can be easily changed. Just remember that Samsung are known for having weak radios.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fitchpuckman:
given today's technology, asking for, or expecting, a phone to last 4 years is really pushing it. at that point, i dont think your battery is the biggest concern you should have. that said, i'll try to draw on some physics to help persuade you...this phone is made from aluminum, which is going to dissipate heat pretty well. I've noticed times when my One feels a bit warm after playing games or extended periods of streaming video, but then i check the temps and see that it's not unusually hot at all. I personally feel that the aluminum body helps to dissipate heat well and, theoretically, could help with the phone's longevity. I've done no scientific studies on this, but it's just a logic i'm applying from other cases of technology and heat with regards to product life. Think of it as a sort of heat sync for the phone. I've had SGS4's in my hands for a couple of minutes before and have felt them get extremely hot while messing around with the phone, FWIW.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SKyRocKeting727:
My Skyrocket's power button causes the phone to restart. Hardware issue. The screen has gotten worse. Battery has lost its capacity. Glad that it lasted good for you but for me it didn't. Even my iPhone 4 lasted me through more besides the home button going bad. My girl's Note 2 home button is starting to go bad as well. I'm not saying that I won't ever get a Samsung again...just saying that I haven't had much luck with its durability in the past. This is my first HTC and so far I have no complaints. But we'll see after an entire year (if I don't decide to get the HTC maxx or Note 3) :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paolonicus:
Hi!

I just like to share something I have discovered during the time I was already going nutts when I discovered that my phones IMEI was replaced by another set of numbers. It all started when I flashed a Firmware XXUBUBMG1 (Movistar) that I downloaded. It was for GT-I9500, the same model as my phone. Everything went well, then I noticed this problem when I decided to call the Customer Service Number of my SIM, the device is telling me that my phone is Not registered on network. Then I decided to check the IMEI and to my horror, it was replaced by this set of numbers, 004003150000, which is not my phones IMEI. Then I decided to look for answers over the internet. But before going further and going thru all the trouble of starting from scratch, an idea came to my mind. I decided to try it out before doing anything else. And whoalah! My phone's IMEA is restored! I can make calls again and connect to the net via Mobile Data again.

Anyway here is the solution that I came up with. If anyone else had tried this before then I give all the credits to him for fixing his phone. :laugh:

1. Download a firmware that is intended for your phone's model number and the region where you bought your S4. Mine was bought in Saudi Arabia, so the firmware I got was for KSA. It also applies for the GT-I9505.

2. Enter Download Mode and flash this firmware via Odin on your PC. I didn't do any Wipe or Factory Reset during this time.

3. Root and install any custom Kernel or CWM Recovery on your phone if you are on this setup. Otherwise leave it as it is.

Hi,

When using another lock screen than my SP's own, I found out that using volume buttons wakes up the screen. It's annoying for two reasons: first, it uselessly consumes battery.
