That will only record the my own voice because it gets into the microphone of Xda2i. The voice of the OTHER party in the phone conversation is ALSO recorded but in extreme low volume. It is too low that it cannot be heard anyway.

So, is there any built-in function to fully record BOTH PARTIES' voices in a phone conversation? If not, any 3rd party software can do that please?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Evan_Bourne:
So I bought this phone 2 days ago and it's running Android 4.0.3 (LG Software v10e).. It's new, untouched, came out of box... Its battery drains unbelievably fast, with screen on, it drains 1% every 2-3 minutes and on standby it drains like 3-5% an hour. I did a lot of searching here on this forum before making this thread after I couldn't find a suitable solution nor any info about Android 4.1 upgrade. I installed "Battery saver" like 20 minutes ago and it seems to be doing better on standby now, no drainage so far in 20 minutes... I wanna know if it's worth upgrading to 4.1? I've seen a lot of negative feedback about it on other forums... How do I improve battery life on my phone without rooting it?

Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks :)

Hello all. As I wrote in my title, I'm just coming back to the s4 after being gone for about a month. I've flashed a few roms and I've noticed that data stops working on almost all the ones I've tried. I tried the Google edition and flashed a different kernel to get WiFi working--when I did WiFi worked but data was broken. Then I tried tri force, data did not work. Finally I tried the one with the weird name (sorry--I know that doesn't help much but I know viper appears in quite a few places in the thread). I am currently on liquid smooth (cm based 10.1) and thankfully it's flawless. I love it but I like variety and I wish I could find a debloated TW rom to play around with. Why it's the data borked on so many of them? I'm not exactly a noob--been an android user for years and I've flashed many a roms. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, unless there's something different or weird with the s4. Can anyone kindly shed some light on my predicament? I'm now downloading negalite. Gonna see if that one has functioning data. It almost seems as tho you have to flash a custom kernel all the time now to get data. Is this right? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: rom name I couldn't remember is visionX (by the axman)

I have no idea why as I've tried everything I can think of and read but aosp runs better on my S4 than tw, as crazy as that sounds its been true for me. I love Aosp so I'm good. :D I'm on mf9 via otas and tried all recoveries made and always end up with some type of system or phone fc or the "detected an app".. .blah blah warning which annoys the crap outa me so I just stay on aosp as there are a ton of great ones for us and they work wonderfully -the once in a while call bug which I do not come across that much really ams when I do I made a shortcut for fast reboot via rom toolbox and just hit it when it happens and its good.

Just FYI.....If you flash a TW MF9 rom with the stock kernel and WiFi is broken after boot (can and has happened with Negalite, TriForce, etc) there is a modified stock kernel that can be flashed to fix if needed.

I must be lucky, because I have had no such issues with any rom (AOSP or TW). If I flash the stock rooted MF9 rom followed by the stock MF9 kernel, I have wifi and data. Same goes for any other TW rom as well as every AOSP rom I've tried.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsidian-studios:
Title pretty much says it all, trying to figure out how to get a Onda v973, I think version 2 to boot into recovery via the power/home buttons. Which are the only buttons on the device. I was able to get it to boot into recovery via adb reboot recovery. Seems there was a way with v971 and v972 if you hold the home button + power till the logo comes up. But when I press the home and power, the device never turns on. It will only turn on if just the power button is pressed. Though I do hear it making some sound at one point when I have both depressed.

I have CWM and Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed on my v973. I did not turn off signature verification, the compatibility package failed, and I did not catch that till after I rebooted. Now I have both on there, but no touch screen drivers. With USB debugging not enabled, when the device boots it shows in adb devices, but is unauthorized. I am just trying to reboot into recovery/CWM so I can turn off signature verification, install the compatibility package, and have a working tablet again.

Even with stock firmware I could not get it to enter recovery. I started by using the upgrade tool to install TWRP. Then had to use adb reboot recovery to get into TWRP. Which did not have working touchscreen drivers. I could not get the device to stop booting in recovery mode/TWRP. I then used adb to push CWM to the device and cat it to overwrite TWRP. From there used CWM to install Cynogenmod and stop booting into recovery. I did backup the factory rom, but never got a chance to download it from the internal storage.

I will try using the PhoenixSuit to restore a stock firmware and start over again. But do not run Windows, attempting to use it via Windows running in VirtualBox on Linux. Either way, still would like to know how to get this device to boot into recovery using power/home buttons. I have asked Onda the same question. Does seem like its changed since previous models and/or versions. Hopefully there is a way as if not will be the first android device I have come across with no physical means to enter recovery mode.

I'm under the assumption the wire-trick is still needed, but the toolkit has jbear built in, so you would go through the same steps but all files/tools/etc needed to go from stock to s-off is included in this one kit

But correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't tried this yet, just going off of what I know about this phone and how the emmc power cycles

No corrections necessary, my friend. That makes better sense. Just kinda caught me offguard. Still sounds like one heck of an accomplishment. Can't wait to get a little time to play around with it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Dr.Gonz0:
Has the S-Off function been confirmed? Is the wire trick still required? Either way looks like a nice tool!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I have never done the "wire trick". When I originally got my phone, it had the HBOOT 1.45.0007, I did S-OFF with Revolutionary, rooted, unlocked, and all was well. When the newer radio (11.59.3505.20_2) came out that also updated the HBOOT to 1.45.0013, I was told it would revert my phone to S-ON, but I don't think it did. It did update the HBOOT to 1.45.0013. I then had to relock the phone, go to HTCDEV and use the HTC unlock tool, then I re-rooted the phone. So, I've been HBOOT 1.45.0013, with radio 11.59.3504.20_2, and I'm S-OFF, unlocked, rooted, without ever doing a "wire trick".
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
I think OP should really have a writeup to explain what the different buttons do, and what exactly they are installing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Wow, to the best of my knowledge this isn't possible as the s-off part part of the .07 would be due to a patched hboot, that just ignores the security flag checks. Flashing another bootloader would erase the old one which means erase the patch. Radio s-off is much lower level and flashing firmware would not return to s-on no matter the firmware flashed. So correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the rev hboot just a patched bootloader? Just doesn't make sense how flashing a new bootloader and unlocking the phone would keep the radio secure flags turned off...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
I don't know the technical details. I just know that my phone originally had 1.45.0007, now has 1.45.0013, and it is S-OFF and unlocked. I never did any "wire trick". When the new radio came out, there was lots of discussion about what to do to maintain S-OFF. I followed those discussions intently. I'm sure if I went back through the archives here on XDA I'd see where it was done, but I don't have the patience for that right now. :o

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Rapscallion16:
Because the S-OFF methods here are based off of the current methods, most people will still need to do the wire trick.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheMadgician:
So I've decided to start playing around with custom ROMs. I'm still pretty new to Android so maybe this is going to be stupidly simple.

Earlier today I flashed PACman Rom. Downloaded directly from the thread. I wasn't super happy with how slow it ran and a friend suggested it might be a nightly. I noticed in settings it said the release was from 09/09 so I thought he might be right. I decided to wipe it and install the most recent stable version of PAC man.

Seemed to flash just fine, but the startup was a bit odd. It didn't go through the standard stuff like syncing your google account, setting up wifi, etc. Jumped right to the home screen. At first that didn't seem like an issue. I can do that all manually. But then it flashed on screen saying AOSP keyboard couldn't launch. Obviously without being able to type at all or even open the keyboard, I can't do a whole lot to get it set up.

Tried a couple times to flash that ROM and same thing every time. Restored from my nandroid and everything worked perfectly. Decided to try CyanogenMod and got 10.2 stable release with gapps. Wiped and flashed. Same thing. Straight to the home screen, no keyboard. Every other gapp is there.

Any ideas on what I can do differently? Or what I might be doing wrong, or some way I can get this to work?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chono631:
Hi, I'd like if someone can explain to me why android apps never open Web links within the app instead of always redirecting you to the browser like iOS and I never noticed this before but I'm currently using an iPhone along side my Galaxy S3 since I'm in the Caribbean and I just think the iOS way makes more sense especially for apps like cracked and Facebook.... Thoughts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Because the android apps in question do not have a web browser within them, at least not in the sense of a traditional browser. I can't attest to how iOS works as I have too many qualms with apple to use their products, but I would assume many of their apps also launch a browser for web content, and if they don't its due to integration of a browser within the app.

Hey sorry I'm just noticing the reply and all I'm looking for is a discussion of some sort but a bit of an update I just used the CNN app on my Galaxy and it as in opened links pertaining to the app within itself such as unlocking the live TV and I just think more android apps should do it and also you might be familiar with flip board and how not handles links that's what I mean

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] beefee102:
Hello everyone! I have been trying to flash a google edition or no-bs rom like AOKP, and I have been able to get them flashed successfully at times. I have been having a few problems with things such as rom flashes not working (sticks on Samsung logo) and having to odin stock again even when it says it was successful, and TWRP not getting past the logo screen when I boot into recovery about 50% of the time. Overall, this phone has just been an absolute nightmare to flash roms on compared to my gs3. If you know how to address any of these issues, please let me know. But anyways, I am mainly wondering about the data connectivity issues. I have tried several different roms - cyanogenmod, google edition 4.3 (what I wanted) and aokp 4.2.2 but nothing works right. The rom runs smoothly and fast, but the data works intermittently at best. It seems fine right after I flash sometimes, but often I won't even be able to sign in to my account to download my apps without wifi, and it rarely works when I'm out and about but yet somehow it connects well enough to stream music without freezes or interruption via google music. It's been showing "H" and "DC" in the signal bar, instead of H+ or LTE like I'm used to... Could I have screwed the modem or the radio up? If so, what do I do to fix it? While I wait for responses I will flash stock 4.2 touchwiz to see if it works better.

Thank you all.

P.s. If this is just a known problem with the roms, does anyone know of a 4.3 google edition rom that works, and is pre rooted or rootable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: flashing custom roms

To make your long story a lot shorter, I have seen dozens of posts just like yours.

The only way to solve problems such as you are having is simple, only flash Samsung M919 Galaxy S4

Touchwiz 4.2.2 based custom roms. Stay away from any of the aokp/aosp/cm10 or google and other ported roms.

(Wicked v6 and Darthstalker v8 are both excellent custom roms)

Download a custom rom, copy to internal sdcard, boot to twrp/cwm recovery, be sure to do a "factory reset", "wipe cache",

"data", "dalvik cache" and "system" before you start flashing. If you do all of the above, you will have no further problems.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] beefee102:
Well, that's what I've been trying to do. I really wanted to try 4.3, but really I just want to escape the bloated, sluggish stock rom. It's so slow, and I know that this phone is blazing fast, and I want to be rid of the pesky, space hogging bloat but when I tried to remove it I had all sorts of problems (such as gallery not working, forcequits out the wazu, and excessive battery use). On that note, and since I've been an AOKP Junkie since I was rocking a GS1 captivate, could you possibly recommend a rom that is more or less a streamlined TW? I like things such as swipe contact to call and the swipe any direction lock screen but i don't need any of the gimmicky samsung stuff. It would be nice if I could still use the airview stuff, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: free space

It looks like you want a lot of the bells and whistles of the stock 4.2.2 touchwiz rom but 1GB of unusable wasted space is more

important to you. :) ... If you would do a bit of investigating of how the phone allocates free and used space you would quickly

change your mind.

All of the Android phones have a partition of a pre determined size dedicated for the rom/firmware only so regardless

of how little space certain roms use the extra free space you would gain is not useable by the end user unless the phone

is re-partitioned with a custom bootloader which would involve a lot of very technical knowledge to do.

Even if you could do it yourself, what would you gain?? 850-950MB more or less, not even 1GB ?

The two custom roms which I suggested are already de-bloated as much as possible without hindering performance and during

flashing both of those custom roms have options of adding features and apps which users want to be included or skipping those

apps and or features which the user does not want or need.

Go to the playstore and download a free app called Antutu Benchmark after you restore your nandroid backup of

your stock rom, or re-flashing your stock rom and then run the benchmark, write down your score.

After doing that either flash one of the Google edition roms or any of the Cyanogen roms and run another benchmark

so you will see with your own eyes that the 2 scores will be very similar, no big or noticeable difference in daily usage.

If you're a good boy perhaps Santa will give you a 64GB microSD card for Xmas. :)

Gaining 1GB more or less would hardly make a difference anyway even if was feasible to do. (which it's not)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] beefee102:
Well, I did mention them but I'm less concerned about the usage and performance than I am getting rid of all the bloody bloatware. It infuriates me to no end that I can't uninstall lookout and all those other apps that I'll never use and that give me constant pesky notifications. Plus, I did try a 4.3 rom and it may not actually be faster, but it definitely felt snappier and cleaner. I like that, even if it is an illusion. But since everyone is saying to stay with tw roms, I was asking for one that doesn't have all the garbage apps but still has the ability to support the phone's special functions. Oh well. I found a 4.3 that seems to be working so I'll stick with that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
As far as connectivity goes, check that the APN settings are right. I had the exact same issue with no LTE, slow or no connection, etc and the APN settings from the ROM flashed were wrong. It needs to be the fast.t-mobile APN, not the epc.tmobile APN. Also, not all ROMs have the icon for LTE, so you might be getting it and you just dont know it. Try a speed test to confirm. Hope that helps!

EDIT: I ran the CM10 nightlies on mine with no issues at all. I have also ran a few other ROMs. Right now I am simply running a deodexed rooted stock ROM that is in the development section that allowed me to flash a debloater and/or remove the bloat I don't want, yet keep all the stock touchwiz features, WiFi calling, etc. Simple and easy.
