[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatnitai:
Well,

Thank you for replying.

I understand there's no "absolute best", but performance can be measured (with benchmarks) and there has to be one which is faster than the others. That said, I think you're right that it depends on kernel more than on rom. With Sense and Google Edition roms and kernels there are a lot of combinations to try, and I was just hoping someone had already done some testing and found a good (fast) combination.

Right now I am with Revolution 20.1 (4.3 with Sense) and it's faster than stock, but I can't flash a custom kernel (I want to so that I could OC) since none has yet uploaded a 4.3 sense kernel (there are only Google Edition 4.3 kernels).

I figured I'd make the switch to GE as it should increase performance, I think GE should be faster compared to sense anyway, shouldn't it? What do you think?

And yes I really care about even the slightest increase :)

Edit:

The benchmark thread isn't good, many don't post their configurations or setups and run different benchmarks so the data is unreliable.. What I meant was that I wish there was a fair benchmark conducting thread in which only the stock rom settings are compared to one another, speed-wise..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
Thread has been closed,

Comparison threads are not allowed, best thing to do is to try rom for yourself.

i havent got the latest JB OTA (including audio fix).. though i do have that update for HTC__38 CID.. mine is HTC__44(as it appears)

is it safe to change CID just to flash this OTA?

Its just too hard to be patient about this ****ty audio issue, knowing that the update has already been released for some about a month ago

Mods, if this is not the right place to post this, feel free to move it.

I just got this e-mail from my wife, so here goes.

In this day and age not having automatic notification of backordered parts is ridiculous.

If you can get on any forums you can think of and ensure that these people get reduced business that would be great!

theaccessoryking.com

I called them today to follow up on my order which was ordered quite some time ago (the 22nd). I actually had paid an extra amount of money for 2 day delivery (didn’t know until I just looked it up) and told them that it should have been here on Monday the 25th at the latest (assuming they don’t deliver on Saturdays). I looked at the bank statement and it went through our account on the 29th. Even with that transaction, it should have been here by Tuesday at the latest with Monday being a holiday. I asked for a return for the extra fees for shipping and they refused.

The statement I received was as follows: “Your item was shipped yesterday, 2 day priority, I have already paid for that shipping and will not refund it to you. We are busy people with lots of customers and we cannot make time to let you know that an item is on backorder or will not ship when expected, we are simply too busy.”

I replied with: “That’s pretty lousy customer service, if someone pays for expedited shipping, there is obviously a reason and this certainly didn’t reach me in the 2 days that I paid for. How will you retain my business for the future and ensure that my customer satisfaction is good?”

His reply: “We are very busy, I’m sorry you are dissatisfied with the time but there’s nothing I can do, it’s shipped and paid for, we will not refund the expedited shipping cost. All of our other customers seem completely satisfied and don’t make any issues out of getting items in a longer timeframe than expected.”

“Kiss my ass” is what I wanted to say but then thought we could hurt his business by addressing the customer service through forums. I said “okay, then I have nothing further to say, good bye”.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doot:
I flashed my 920 with the Amber ROM from Rogers this weekend and all has been well until this morning. I noticed no MMS messages were making it to my phone. I will get the message as a text message and click "Get media content now", but the message will never appear. I tried switching profiles in access point (from LTE 1 to LTE 2 and so on) with no resolution.

I was wondering if an update may have caused this behavior. Could call + SMS filter have anything to do with this? Any other thoughts? Is anyone else having this issue?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Make sure your MMS APN settings are correct. The automatic app may be getting them wrong.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doot:
Tried that as well, in Settings > Applications > Messaging > Edit MMS APN, I have:

APN: pta

User name:

Password:

WAP gateway (URL): proxy.mobile.att.net

WAP gateway port: 80

MMSC (URL): h t t p : // mmsc.mobile.att.net/

MMSC Port: 80

Maximum MMS size:

IP Type: IPv4v6
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snickler:
All of these suggestions work. I at first had mine set to LTE 2, then I changed from LTE 1 and then I could get MMS. After that, I switched back to LTE 2.

Also, if you're going to use a manual MMS apn, use "phone" instead of "pta"
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doot:
Still not working for me. Went back and forth from LTE 1 to LTE 2 and nothing. I removed the manual MMS settings as well.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihabsad:
Did you try access point app from the marketplace,

I had the same problems you have but after I installed the app and configured my MMS setting using it, every thing is working fine

install it using Lumia updater here

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/lumia-system-updater/5be8fe18-6c8c-4339-b689-a8024cd4c3f0

Good Luck
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doot:
Yes, I have been using the access point app since I installed the ROM.

For some reason they started working again. I had my phone off for a good 4-5 hours today, so maybe that helped with something?

Hey everyone. First time posting in note I forums. Only because I don't own one. But a friend does. Just wondering something on his behalf. He has att model note I. Still running gingerbread. Constantly checks for updates and always says his software Is up to date. Can someone enlighten me on the latest stock update for this device. He's running stock unrooted with no desire to root. Was just curious. Just whoever responds to this please quote me so I get a notification because I don't check these forums. Any ideas what he can do to receive an update if there is one?

Hi All,

Just got a SX66 and have read loads of posts on ROMS, updates, upgrades, BT problems...etc. I would like to get a BT headset but would like the phone to maximumly prepared in hopes of dealing with less problems and stress as former users. Problem??? I don't understand a bit of what these websites are saying and am also scared to death of totally destroying this expensive machine with the wrong press of a key. Does any one have the time to walk this clueless person through these upgrades. I hold myself personally responsible for anything that goes wrong. I can do it via IM since I have two computers at home - so can use one to communicate and one to work on the upgrades - both in internet access. I would greatly appreciate it! I have a very flexible schedule and have no problems doing it at mid-night if that is a reasonable time in your timezone!!! If anyone has the time can you please e-mail me at ms_guy99@hotmail.com.

I have to say it looks tempting. All I really do in my car is the occasional GPS (when my dashboard one sucks) and stream music. I know it won't charge past what I'm using but it's tempting to get a 100% going and then hop in the car and keep it there. But I'm curious what you guys have to say about it. If it's compatible with the Nexus I don't know why it wouldn't work for the Maxx. It looks like it might fit physically.

(To clarify I have the Maxx)
[Droid Ultra Accessories] bigv5150:
I don't see why it wouldn't work on the charging side but fitment may be an issue the maxx is much wider then the iphone.
[Droid Ultra Accessories] soapbubble:
How big is the Nexus 4? About the same size? Usually those things have clips on the side that spread out and you move them in, but I have no idea if this one does. It looks kind of cool though.
[Droid Ultra Accessories] patrickoneal:
There is the "smart fit2" that's available all over ebay. I'd assume it would work. You have to buy the LG WCP-300 separately and plug it into a USB charger(I'd assume a nice high current charger). A bunch of sellers are showing the width as being adjustable from 4.5" to 6", but that ain't right. The WCP-300 is just 2.8" in diameter, and the Smart Fit2 squeezes down to about that size or a little smaller. It uses a standard 17mm ball, so you should be able to use it on a variety of mounting solutions.

Hi xda-developers!

This is my first post so I'm sure you will be swift to tell me if I'm doing it wrong! :P

I have an app that currently uses a Tab activity to navigate between activities. However I want to convert all of this to be able to implement an ActionBar using fragments. What is the quickest and easiest way to do this? Or are there any good resources out there to help?

Many thanks

Thanks I'll look into this! Will all my activities need changing to Fragments still?
[Java for Android App Development] noahdev:
EDIT: I'm looking into it and there doesn't seem to be much difference. Why wouldn't people use actionbarsherlock?
[Java for Android App Development] Waninkoko:
The activities need to be converted to fragments. This needs some coding time (but not too much, after doing one the rest will be straightforward) but also it's the best solution.

And I would use ActionBarCompat instead of ActionBarSherlock.
[Java for Android App Development] out of ideas:
ABS works fine though?
[Java for Android App Development] noahdev:
Im struggling to understand all the hostility towards it!
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
ActionbarCompat get official updates from Google. That's the advantage.

However, it does not provide a PreferenceActivity with an ActionBar and contains some bugs which will hopefully be fixed in the next version.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kradcliffe:
After doing a similar thing on my Note II it was worth trying the Nexus 7 and it works!

Rooted of course, go to System> Etc and open mixer_paths.xml

Modify the following lines in the first section to the below:

<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="12" />

<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="12" />

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="92" />

<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="92" />

Reboot and it's loud as hell.

I use ES file explorer, open it with ES Note Editor and remember in ES root explorer settings to select Mount R/W

Hope this helps!

sound quality

Does anyone else notice sound quality using headphone is not as good as sound from nexus 10 from samsung? cheap vs expensive/quality.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tni.andro:
Used as line out, the quality is actually very good. Some measurements are here:

http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_google_nexus_7_2_2013-review-964p6.php

However, with headphones connected you get some distortions. Even worse, I measured the output impedance and it's a whopping 38 Ohms. This will cause substantial frequency shifts with quite a few headphones.

There also is a noticeable noise floor, so if your volume control is not close to max, you should lower the headphone amp gain (the HPHL/HPHR mentioned in the first post).

maybe only works with earphones? im using it with speakers right now

i found fauxsound app to be the LOUDEST sound mod when installed by itself, but it distorts at max settings

edit: yes its loud as FCUK now using headphones aux port at MAX volume, i have BT speaker bar hooked up and its loud!!! too bad it doesn't raise the n7 speakers volume much
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kradcliffe:
As stated previously this hack is for headphone volume only.

The speakers are pretty crap and distort above the preset volume so that is why I have left that alone in case they get blown with excessive volume.

Keith
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] r9800pro:
Thank you very much for the simple hack.

One of the reasons that I preferred my iPhone 4 over Nexus 7 2013 was the higher headphone volume even after using viper4android with gain but now loudness is very good.

I've only changed the first 2 lines though and only to 10 not 12 because 12 was too loud and distorted

<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="10" />

<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="10" />

Measurement of modifications

First, thanks for finding this mod!

This does not survive the flashing process! If you flash often (nightly), you will want to create a backup of the modded file to replace after you flash.

I did this testing using the following:

Nexus 7 (2013) HW Rev E

CyanogenMod 11 - 20131222 with ART enabled

Signal Generator by RadonSoft (free, basic)

Tektronix AA501 Distortion Analyzer and Ohmite Determ-Ohm (variable load)

All measurements were made with a 1kHz sine wave, the signal generator output set to 0dB, and the headphone volume set to MAX.

Factory:

unterminated: Left 238mV at 0.0380%THD+N

16 ohms: Left: 76.4mV at 0.0824%THD+N

HPHL=12 HPHR=12:

unterminated: Left 398mV at 0.171%THD+N

16 ohms: Left 128mV at 0.1134%THD+N

HPHL=12 HPHR=12 RX1=92 RX2=92

unterminated: Left: 895mV at 12.08%THD+N

16 ohms: Left: 288mV at 12.01%THD+N

Right side measurements were very similar to the left. If i turned down the headphone volume by 1 point with the final settings I would drop the THD+N to around 2%, showing that the issue is clipping. Since I was driving the output so hard, that is to be expected.

I almost agree with you r9800pro, however I have gone with values of 12 and left the digital volumes alone. There is a little distortion at full volume in louder songs.
