[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2black101:
Hi guys

I'm not too impressed with the sound quality of this phone. I was just wondering if there is any way to improve it? From what I can gather, custom Kernels like Francos only currently work on 4.2, so I'm not too sure what I can do on 4.3.

Similarly, the sound quality over bluetooth is very "hissy." I'm using Jaybuds Bluebuds X so it's definitely not because of the headphones.

Cheers in advanced for any help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Flash a custom kernel with sound improvements like Faux or Franco bro.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2black101:
Cheers mate

But as far as I'm aware these Kernels don't work on 4.3 yet.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snoon:
Franco's kernel does work on 4.3 :D

If you want to try some other kernels you can just take a look in the Nexus 4 Original Android Development forum: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1912

There you will find several custom kernels for 4.3 :)

Xperia z1 and note 3 are both officially debut. With the spec confirmed, which you guys will go for it? Or definitely get both??

20mp camera n flash on xperia z1 is awesome.

3gb ram and leathered back on note 3 is awesome too.
[General Questions and Answers] vapotrini:
I'm waiting on the reviews before jumping on either.

While the Z1 is great I can't help but feel a little disappointed. No OIS, no Xenon, huge bezels. And if the video play back is really a mere 6.6 hours as Sony themselves are claiming, one then has to ask how long will you be able to browse for? Cause that's pretty weak.

Still, I'm gonna wait until I see some objective reviews before deciding on either. And there's always the One Max right around the corner too.
[General Questions and Answers] recepo1:
Xperia z1 is really nice im looking more into that phone over the note 3. Note 3 specs sounds good im just dissapointed by the hardware they couldve really been innovative. I like the xpreria hardware ..note 3 specs are great but who really needs 3gb of ram i had the note 2 and it was fine with 2g of ram and the 1.5 processor
[General Questions and Answers] matheus_sc:
i vote for z1, is more smart, screen seems best, and build quality is best too. galaxy have s-pen and 3gb of ram.
[General Questions and Answers] ArborRes:
Definitely the Note 3! The best is getting even better!
[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
There's a stickied thread at the top of this forum for such discussions so this question is much better suited there.
[General Questions and Answers] batna.antab:
The same thing was said about the 2gb of ram, and also when 1gb devices came out etc...

Plus the ram on the note 3 is fully used as shown in some hands on , leaving just 200mb of free space when multiwindow and pop up apps were used.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] IFLATLINEI:
My Galaxy Tab 2 has been running PAC ROM for a long time now. I tried upgrading to a 4.3 nightly and it didn't work out so well. In fairness, its a nightly. So I reflashed the same 4.2.2 I was running before. Having issues still. So I went out and bought a new tab. Now I'm thinking I'd like to go back to a stock based ROM and put the ir blaster I was originally interested in using to work. But I don't really want to go completely stock on it.

So I've been doing some reading and it looks like Sungsonic is the way to go but I wasn't able to confirm ir support. Before I flashed my first custom ROM on this tab I gave peel a run and it worked great with all my equipment. Is Sungsonic the best stock based ROM and does it offer ir support?

Thanks in advance for your input.

P.S. of course I'm running PAC ROM on my new tab! Awesome ROM!
[HTC One S] CaptainMaki:
I've bought a new T-Mobile HTC One S recently and after installing bootloader and rooting it, I've noticed that the phone came with 4.0.4 and not 4.1.1.

Will the phone preform better with 4.1.1? Would I have to do all the bootloader unlocking and the rooting?
[HTC One S] salutcemoi:
You can either:

A. unroot and the OTA update

B. since you are already rooted, make a Nandroid backup and flash a Sense based ROM such as Viper (android 4.1.1)
[HTC One S] CaptainMaki:
Thanks for the tip about Viper. still haven't got to check out the current available ROM's.

I was just wondering if there are major problems with the stock 4.1.1 like with the battery on the previous update.
[HTC One S] Lionhardt:
Its better overall in my opinion. Only prob for me is that the audio pops when you play it for the first time in recently inserted headphones. Other than that, smoother and better. Don't know about battery

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BtotheDon:
Okay, so I accidentally "bricked" my Evo, I was running CM 10.2 and trying to flash a new Clockworkmod Recovery when it happened. It would just boot up to the HTC splash screen and stay there. So, this wasn't the first time it had happened so I knew I could run an RUU and fix it right up. I tried a few other things before I decided to just go with the RUU solution. So I did it, it worked I booted in to Sense but there's no touch capability, on the screen or buttons. I did a little searching and thought maybe it was the firmware/touch panel so I downloaded the right firmware and flashed it through HBoot since I have S-Off and still nothing. The only other thing I could think of was maybe just re-rooting and then flash the backup of the ROM I was running, but whenever I try to unlock my bootloader through HTC Dev it fails to identify my unlock token. So I'm pretty much just stuck now and I'm hoping somebody could help me fix it or at least tell me it's screwed so I can stop trying lol.

A little more info on how it happened, I was running a CM 10.2 nightly and trying to flash a new Clockworkmod Recovery. I tried this method.

"1) Download correct Clockworkmod (touch or regular as you wish) for your device.

2) Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG

3) Download and install terminal emulator from the play store.

4) Run the terminal and

type: su (press enter)

Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)"

I made sure I typed in the command exactly and it seemed to be fine. But when I booted into recovery I saw it didn't work then when I booted my phone back up normally it got stuck on the splash screen.

Like I said, any help would be greatly appreciated or if you could tell me I'm screwed, that's cool too.

CWM does not play nice with the EvoLTE try TWRP

Wrong section BTW ask a Mod to move to Q&A

Yea, I was running TWRP originally but wanted to try switching to CWM. And this actually my first time posting a new thread so I didn't know. How do I get a Mod to move it to Q&A?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Just click the triangle with the ! inside it and ask to be moved to Q&A

Could also be a kernel issue if you are using a CM build with the older 3.0? kernel the newer 3.4 kernel is compatible with the touch panel drivers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BtotheDon:
Well, I was running CM. I did the RUU so I'm back to stock unrooted Sense 4 now.

You done bad!

Reflash the RUU, then flash your recovery to the correct partition.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BtotheDon:
... Could you elaborate a little? Not sure exactly what you're saying to do. Would I have to enter that through a command prompt on the computer or what? Because I can't access anything from the phone itself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
0) Forget about CWM

1) Reflash the RUU - make sure you use a full RUU - one that contains all the partitions

2) Verify functionality

3) Flash your recovery to the correct partition. It's NOT mmcblk0p18

If you haven't figured it out yet, you flashed your recovery to the WRONG partition, thus corrupting something important on the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BtotheDon:
Yea, I got that. But I've tried reflashing the RUU already and the phone boots up but I still have no touch capability so I can't really do anything. At this point, I'm just thinking it's screwed. But I've kinda been looking for a reason to switch to another Nexus device so it's alright lol. Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

But if anyone still has something they think can help, let me know.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] iamdchosen1:
Try hide it pro in the play store.. It's the best hiding app for Android by far..

Whenever you're with your friend, you can lock your inbox and what it basically does is that whenever someone tries to open your inbox, it shows a force close message and asks to send an error report.. A normal person would consider this but for you you'll have to enter your password and your inbox will open..

It's a pretty cool app! Do try it..

That's easy

Just use Go SMS

So, my Ultra Z doesn't display videos correctly. They look super pixelated.

I read that someone else had this problem on YouTube and fixed it by re-installing the app, but my issue is global and not only with YouTube.

I just noticed that if I tilt the device and look from another uncommon angle, the videos look fine and everything else generally looks better.

Just wondering if anyone else experienced this and ask them to please share some light on how to fix this, if possible.

I've tried with both the 475 and 510 firmware with no luck.

On a side note, nothing I've tried on the screen works other than my fingers. Is there something I need to enable for any pen to work?

Thanks in advanced.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:

Yup, send it back and get a new one while you still have the chance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Dude, this is the first time I've ever heard that display looks better when viewed from an angle...

On another note, does the display only look pixelated when playing videos? It could be software related. Have you wiped clean the phone after changing fw?

And about the pen, try using pen with bigger tip, see if it works. I can even use my fingernails if I pressed hard enough (so that the contact area increased - just a gentle press will do) and I used a pretty thick matte screen protector...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] P-Men:
Thanks for the replies, guys.

I tried contacting Sony customer service and since I'm from North America, I can't currently get any service from them because the phone isn't out here yet and they don't have the parts in order to do a repair.

Yeah, the videos are the only thing that look bad. I've played many games and they all look fine.

I noticed that if I disable X-Reality, the videos don't look that bad. But still, they look horrible.

I've tried doing a phone repair with Sony PC Companion and no dice.

As for the pen, I've tried using many things with tips of all kinds of sizes and nothing works.

I know there are many posts about this, also had a similar issue before but I can't remember how I fixed it and other post's solutions aren't working for me.

In Disk Usage it shows 2430 MiB is being used by System data under storage card. I can't find where the rogue files are. I've used Root Explorer, System Analyzer, solid explorer and yaffs explorer to browse through the root directories with no luck.

Any help hunting down with what is taking up all this space would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE! SOLVED

I figured it out! Although all 3 or 4 different file explorers showed no files in /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS, that was the culprit.

My suspicion was raised when I couldn't delete the folder in any of the explorers on my phone, via adb shell, or ssh. After some googling, I found this this post which has a flashable zip to correct the permissions on the internal memory.

Flashed that, rebooted, used solid explorer to delete the TWRP folder and now my system data is at 415 MiB!

So I downloaded the latest UK firmware (MH8) from Sammobile and flashed using Odin, all went well and Odin passed and phone rebooted.

However now it just sits on Samsung logo FOREVER! I have reflashed firmware 3 times (every time it passes in Odin but still wont boot up)

I tried to reflash older firmware but that fails in Odin on bootloader section.

So I thought, all good I'll just flash Philz and restore my backup but now philz cant unmount System and I can't restore anything or even wipe system.

I'm pretty stuck it seems.

Does anyone have any ideas to help please :(

Flash mh8 in odin. Then boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset.

Yep, that's the theory at the moment but if you go here - https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/5ggu7naWtaW

you should be able to re-root the phone.. Not sure if I'd try to flash a new rom just yet but at least you should get back root...

All reports are you can't flash an older version through ODIN because of the new bootloader...

Thanks again Chainfire...

Has anyone tried this method? SuperSU has a full unroot option in its settings. I have read many posts saying it is impossible to unroot at this time.

I did a little searching around and didn't find much. Just suggestions to try it and no one ever reported back if it works or doesn't.

I personally don't have the OTA and have a custom ROM, but i would like to know any confirmation of it working or not working by anyone that has tried it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rab2cab:
I did the ota to mf3 and successfully rooted it I then realized that I had like 6gbs missing so in an effort to restore I went into the SU settings and chose the remove root option and it seemed to work I checked with root checker and I no longer had root access I still was unable to restore it just bumps me into Odin mode and I have to boot power+home+volume- then cancel to reboot my phone into working order

But as far as I can tell I have no root

Since I can't restore and try and clear up my missing storage I wanted to take it in and try and get a new one under warranty but I'm afraid to use triangle away so I'm just gonna wait it out until we get a mf3 restore firmware for Odin since my phone works fine for now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
So that is 1 confirmation for an unroot. Basically hit unroot, it sends the phone to bootloop. Remove battery, put it back, then boot to download mode with power+volume down, then hit volume down again to cancel and reboot to a fully functional phone with no root. If that doesn't work, use power+home+volume down. Anyone else?

Btw,

Don't use triangle away. It flashes a temporary recovery to reset the binary. It will brick you or just fail.

The problem was busy box. The MF3 root scripts install Busybox files into the /xbin directory, but SuperSU's "full unroot" doesn't touch Busybox's files. Not even any Busybox apps can remove those files.
