How about if you run the same streaming apps with headphone plugged in directly to S4 jack? Take E18 out of the equation, does the same music source skips?

In my opinion it doesn't sound like hardware problem, but it never hurts to contact their tech support. Just try to play the same music without E18 to determine if the problem comes from an app or a source or related to E18.
[General Accessories] Obagleyfreer:
If I take the E18 out of the equation then it's fine.

Also, another thing I noticed, if I put the phones into airplane mode then it's fine too. It only seems to happen when phones are connected to the network.

which tells me that it is some sort of interference......but why would I be the only one having the issue, very odd.

And I bought this device as I read it was specifically for Android phones, so network interference shouldn't happen.
[General Accessories] vectron:
If you put it in airplane mode, you obviously can't stream from internet so playing music is fine? How about playing regular audio files (mp3, FLAC, etc.) on your phone either using default Sammy's audio app or whatever other app you are using? I remember in the past I had issue with some audio apps, like Winamp playing music on Nexus 7 whenever screen used to turn off - it used to skip in exactly the same way as you describing. I stopped using winamp on Nexus 7 :) My wife has S5 and plays music in there all the time with screen off, and never a problem. Could be some buffering issue from the app?
[General Accessories] Obagleyfreer:
Thank you for all your help mate, I really appreciate it :)

I can stream music on Pandora Radio on airplane mode by using WiFi (when you put phone into airplane mode all your mobile comminication ends, but you can turn WiFi back on whilst still using airplane mode to keep mobile network signal off), and yes, the music is fine if I do this, but as soon as I take my phone off airplane mode to get mobile network signal back it skips again.

If I play my regular audio files from my phone using Poweramp or Neutron it skips if network signal is on, but again, it's fine on airplane mode.

You could be onto something regarding the screen off and buffering though, I didn't think of that.

I'll try with stock ROM and see if it makes a difference :)

FYI

Add support for USB Audio https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24614

Status : Released

Which means that the FiiO E18 and other FiiO DACs will be supported in a future release of Android. Hope it will be on most devices.

E18 and Arkon Case

So I recently purchased an E18 and the Arkon slim for portable listening with a GS3 and it's very bulky for carrying in the pocket. My idea is using the HS7 case with the E18/arkon combo and carrying my phone separately except for when I'm listening to music and place my GS3 in the arkon. Would the case hold eveything fine?
[General Accessories] vectron:
I'm sure you have seen my review of HS7 along with other X5 accessories? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52861089&postcount=19

Right now I'm using it to keep X5 in one pocket and E18 in the other, just like in one of the pictures from review. It's kind of a tight fit to begin with. So, I'm not sure how you will be able to fit Arkon slim in there.
[General Accessories] spbach:
I'm thinking about tearing out the pockets of the right side, where you have the X5 and SD to create more room for the added thickness of just the E18/Akron combo. It seems like a much better idea than using other carrying methods.
[General Accessories] vectron:
In that case, it might work. Plus, with Arkon slim grip you can use shorter set of legs to make sure it fits.
[General Accessories] Steven How:
Just wondering, do you guys use these outdoor? If so how do you carry it?
[General Accessories] vectron:
You gotta look back in previous pages, I posted a few suggestions. You can use it with included rubber-bands, though it will block a strip of your touch screen. You can use it with something like Arkon slim-grip holder, or use a 3M double side re-usable sticky tape (that one is a best).
[General Accessories] Steven How:
I have look up on those slip grip holder ..I mean how do you really put it in your pocket? The grip seems awkward if u mean using that grip and put in ur pants. Btw, what iem u guys been using with this e18?
[General Accessories] clickmaster:
excellent review man. Thanks to you i got to know more about that :good:
[General Accessories] vectron:
To be honest, I no longer listen to music with headphones from my phone. I do watch movies/shows and stream music from my Note 2 wirelessly, but when it comes to listening to music for pure enjoyment - I use a dedicated DAP (digital audio player, like X5 or AP100). If I need to use external amp, it goes along with a DAP.

E18 or A200p usb dac/amps I use mostly with my laptop as an external audio card.
[General Accessories] Steven How:
Oh, it seems you need to carry alot of device if you are going for a trip I guess XD
[General Accessories] vectron:
That's a price to pay if you want HiFi portable sound :) Look on a bright side, all this equipment used to weight a ton and take most of your desktop space. Now, it's portable enough to hold it in one hand.

Btw, getting E10k (a tiny desktop usb DAC/amp) and E11k (portable audio amplifier) for review very soon. So, stay tuned!!!
[General Accessories] Steven How:
Well,maybe I should be grateful XD. Im kind of new these actually and this is my first audiophile equipment. Btw, how do you check if your device supports it? When I plug in my xv it just go change all my volume setting. Media volume to Max and started pressing skip button on itself which I literally didn't touch the button as well. Any idea?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Sorry, can you please be more specific. What is "xv"? You connected E18 to your smartphone and volume went to the max and buttons started to skip? Sometime volume can change depending on some default setting when USB OTG connection is detected, and depending on your audio app there could be a setting to resume play on connection, but I wouldn't expect skipping.
[General Accessories] Steven How:
I'm using Sony xperia v. When I connect it it. It would skip the first song and all the volume of the media,ringtone will be changed. Media would go Max itself. Btw, do I really need put Max volume on the phone? When using e18 as dac and amp? Im using poweramp.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Song skipping sounds almost like some kind of a behavior with poweramp "on re-connect", while volume could be something related to Sony's android version and consequent action on audio interface connect to usb otg. Just guessing, so take it with a grain of salt. Do you have any other phones/tablets to try it with? This behavior doesn't happen with Galaxy. I would also suggest emailing FiiO guys. Their support is really good.
[General Accessories] Steven How:
I do have Nexus 2013 LTE, but it doest support it even with the usb audio player installed :( But i did tried with Galaxy s3 Europe version. It does't skip song when connected. Just normal. Ohya, one more issue, The skip and back button on the fiio is opposite.. When i press skip it goes back. Back becomes next. Lol

"Sorry for any confusion, but in our exuberance about USB audio, we flipped the status to Released a bit early. It is true that L developer preview includes some USB audio support, but it is not quite complete in L developer preview. Please bear in mind that there are myriads of use cases and devices out there. And while we may not support all of this initially, we will do our best to support as many as we can at L launch, and work to bring this support to the entire ecosystem as fast as we can.

The buttons are actually labelled in the sense that if your device was sitting right up in your bag or something, pressing down goes to the next track while pressing up goes back, which actually does make some sense :p

[General Accessories] Drson12:
Is E18 for me?

I use my 42 Ohm headphones (Marshall Monitors) and as a source I use Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (Newest android version- 5.1 I think), and Ive immediately heard that the smartphone isnt powerful enough for my headphones, so I bought FiiO E06 amplifier, which gives me enough volume. But I still think the sound isnt good enough, theres still something like clipping with some tracks (or albums) and a bit of hiss (Im not sure if Im calling it correctly).

Yesterday I tried FiiO E12 which helped with my problems quite a lot. But When I read about E18 in here, its ability to convert the signal into analog and better quality sound. And also the possibility to charge your smartphone with it (I was planning to buy portable charging unit). I want to buy this one, because it seems the best choice for me.

Do you guys think it will be a good buy for me?

Or should I just go for E12 or even smaller and cheaper E11K? But if E18 means better sound than E11K or E12 Im buying it! :)
[General Accessories] vectron:
E12 is a better amplifier than E18 amplifer section (E18 is a DAC + amplifier). What E18 allows you is to bypass yours phone internal headphone amp and use E18 own amp which is not as good in comparison to E12 (just an amplifier). Plus, E18 is already a dated product and FiiO goes through refreshes every year. Maybe wait a little bit for a new version of E18? Or go for E12 if you can get a good deal.
[General Accessories] Drson12:
So you think E12 is better even for my setup? I thought that DAC would give me better sound than just getting an anplifier.

Also in between E11K and E12 you think E12 is much better? Also considering my setup :)

Thank you for reply :)
[General Accessories] vectron:
Using USB DAC portion of E18 will help you bypass your phone's internal "noisy" DAC/amp. That is a plus, but then a sound will be processed by E18 internal amp to come out from headphone output, and I'm not too crazy about E18 amp, too warm and a bit distorted. When I wrote my E18 review, that was my first exposure to this product without any comparison. But later after reviewing more portable amps I realized it's "amp" output is not the cleanest. Just my personal opinion. FiiO designs their product in a way that they are not competing but compliment each other in different price ranges. E11k is good in it's price range, but it will not be better than a more expensive E12. Personally, though you only ask about E12, I would buy E12A - A MUCH better, cleaner, and more transparent sound and it uses very high quality MUSES02 opamp. And despite being design for "IEMs", I have no problem using it to drive my R70x 470 ohm cans.

Hi bro my friend had a problem with his galaxy y.

His sgy bootlooped after he installed a custom rom on it. Then he asked me to fix it. I tried many solution but no one works for his sgy.

1. Wipe data, wipe cache, fix permission etc. via untemporary cwm (v.5xx) and then reflash it. No effect, still bootlooping.

2. Flash custom rom via android stock recovery (someone said untemporary cwm is not for flashing rom so he recommen to flash it via stock rom) no effect, still bootlooping.

3. Flash via odin. No detected even usb driver installed. Tried on windows 7 ultimate & windows 8 pro. Still bootlooping (He don't think his usb debugging is on:))

4. Flash flashable zip stock rom via cwm/android stock recovery. I haven't tried this one.

Any suggestion? Thanks!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
1 - what rom are you trying - cm roms require percys kernel and stock based roms require a stock based kernel

2 - did you mount system data cache after you wipe system data and cache before flashing a rom? (main cause of people not flashing a rom properly)

3 - did you install samsung drivers only and not have kies installed/running to use odin

you can flash a rom via any cwm tempory or perminant as long as the cwm is suitable for galaxy y - you format system data and cache and you mount system data and cache before you flash anything

help me out please

Hello,

I am currently downloading Sultan ROM 2.0 because i am S-on and forgot to backup the original OS. (basically empty phone, I think) However, I managed to get TWRP 2.6 on for recovery. After I get the ROM and move it on to the SD card, I should install it from TWRP, right? (removing cache, dalvik etc) Hope I get back and running so I can get build out of source codes.

My question is, is kernel compile(from source) for HTC amaze x715e (the asian HTC amaze?) is possible or not.

I believe the kernel source that HTCdev site provides is only for HTC amaze 4G. (or is it the same?)

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
You're asking many things that can easily be found on the threads that are pinned to the top of the the various forums here. Before proceeding I strongly suggest you read them first, because judging by the content of your post you are getting ahead of yourself and are already heading for serious problems. If you are s-on with an Asian or unbranded Amaze you will soon find yourself with an expensive paperweight if you continue along your current path.

You must first attain s-off and SuperCID before flashing an ICS ROM, and you must first flash a factory ICS ROM image before you can flash an after-market ROM like Sultan. This is because none of the after-market ROMs have radio basebands, and without an ICS radio you won't have communication or data with any ICS and newer ROMs you may flash. Also TWRP is practically useless on an S-on handset because it will be unable to flash a kernel image, so it won't boot-up.

As I said, read all of the pinned threads located at the top of the various forums here, all of the info you seek is located there, including links to other posts with important information. In a nutshell you will need to proceed as follows: You will have to flash back to the appropriate GB ROM for your handset. Then if you haven't already, go to the HTC-dev site and get the binary unlock blob and save it (you will need it again). Attain s-off and SuperCID. Once these have been successfully accomplished you must flash a factory ICS image to get the radio. Once you have the proper ICS radio and you're s-off you can flash any ROM you like.

Cutting corners will only cause problems for you later, then your next post will be a cry for help in the Amaze unbricking project thread.

Good luck.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Okay so as [MENTION=5463522]Odysseus1962[/MENTION] said, you need to get S-OFF and SuperCID first.

And TWRP is useless in this scenario because it does not have smartflash, which like Ody said, can flash kernel images.

Really there's limitations to what you can do right now. I think if you find an Asian GB RUU to flash you would be back to your original phone but if you want to be on ICS you need to do everything we told you in the previous post. Otherwise you will be very sad for a bricked phone.

Again, follow this thread step by step to get back to a working phone.

Get the phone working first, that is priority. ICS can wait. It is not running away.
[HTC Amaze 4G] spencerjang90:
Thanks!

Yes you are right, I need to get it back to working before I have ICS or anything. I really don't have any preference about GB or ICS anyways.

I spent about 2 weeks looking for information about this phone but then I found out that this one was the asian version, not the 4G. (Do they have much difference from HTC Amaze 4G?!)

As a newbie, I got confused and understood something wrong and went off to a wrong direction. :rolleyes:

Anyways I'll follow with the thread that you've posted.
