[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid Army:
The headphone volume on the nexus 5 is a joke. Can you fix it? Of course. But wait, it distorts and adds a ton of hiss. I don't know what Google was thinking when they made it that low. Compared to my iphone 5s, my nexus 5 would be at 100% when my iphone would be at 50%. I promptly sent it back for this very reason
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cobyman7035:
does the 4.4.2 update fix the low sound or not? mine is stock low but if i use one of those volume boost, its pretty good but ofcourse distorts ot 100%loudness, goes with the territory i guess
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caslca:
I'm coming from the Galaxy S3. The volume is lower than other phones I've used but I found it more than adequate for all purposes. I find myself pumping it to 100% when I need to get a bit of beat going in my ears and it is enough. I don't think I can listen to 100% volume with the google music app for longer than 2-3min and I do like loud music.

FWIW, with the S3 i never had it above 75% since it was way too loud.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid Army:
Nope, I was running 4.4.2 when I sent it back. This is probably hardware related and google can't really fix it. I remember most of the nexus devices being pretty low
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
Install Viper4android. It will solve most of your audio problems. I'm very satisfied with the N5 audio now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid Army:
I tried that the first day, it didn't do much. It might for others though
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
Hmm....that's very odd. Which music player are you using? Did you go into the Viper settings and activate it? It's made a huge difference in sound volume and quality for me. Previous to installing it my sweets spot for volume was around 80%. Post installation and set up it's now at about 50-60%. You have to play around with the settings tho. If you google Viper4android settings you will find some very useful profiles.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
If you're using the top volume levels with in ears then its no wonder it sounds too quiet for you now. Nothing will bring that hearing range back once its lost, there's a reason for the warning.

Cranking the volume to compensate for loud environments is just about the worst thing you can do to your ears. It doesn't cancel it out it adds it together.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid Army:
I never use top volumes, I had to on the nexus. On my iPhone I listen around 55-60%. The nexus has terrible volume, it isn't my ears
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogem_kk:
I am using Viper with JVC HA-FXT90 buds and I can get "stupid" level volume. It is not as loud or good with other earphones. I think the earphones are as much to blame as anything else.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid Army:
They're klipsh s4's. I've tried others with the same result. I'm sorry, compared to other devices the nexus is soft.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
You don't have to be sorry. It's already been shown in the Anand review that the N5 has less max volume output then current flagships besides the G2.

However I still think with IEMs the max volume is louder then people should be listening to. Either you're Klipsch model has an unusually high impedance rating, no passive noise cancellation benefits or you're ears have just adjusted to higher volume levels. Just checked and the Klipsch S4 is rated at a fairly low impedance of 18 OHM.

This is going to be subjective of course but with Shure 115 in ears above 75% volume is painful since 4.4.2 These were advertised at the time as passive noise cancellation however and are rated at 16 OHM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid Army:
The ones I use are noise isolating which is really nice and one of the reasons I bought them. I do tend to listen to music a bit on the louder side; I like the punch of the bass with my ear buds. I'm guess my ears have adjusted to a little bit higher of a listening area but still a lot of devices sound significantly louder than the nexus 5

Hey guys,

I cannot seem to get this to work. Even when I install an AOSP rom with an SMS app and Hangouts not activated- I cannot restore my Titanium backup of the SMS messages from my G2, and my G2 is gone so I only have the TiBu to restore. Has anybody gotten this to work?

thanks,

AC
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSLEON3:
AFAIK, there is no way to do that yet. You are essentially want to restore a db from one app to a completely different app. Doesn't work that way. Google would have to write a utility to extract the info from the sms database & then import it into Hangouts. I do not know of any way to do it currently, aside from manually entering the data into the hangouts db.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paddington:
If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't restore my SMS messages from my Moto X onto my Nexus 5 with Helium. I just had to start over.

Edit: BTW, I was running the Hangouts v2 apk on my Moto X for my SMS, so it was the same Hangouts app that came loaded onto the Nexus 5. It still would not restore the texts.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krishsastry:
Use SMS Backup and Restore as it can restore the SMS to hangouts app which is the new default. I had helium before and couldn't restore it, finally this app did the trick.!!

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsho31:
Go SMS has a backup option where it does it to their server then you can restore them on another device when you sign in on it.

I backed up from the old messaging app locally, transferred the 'rerware' folder, and restored to the new hangouts. I had to reboot to see the messages in hangouts. MMS and SMS both worked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netvope:
I purchased the "franco.Kernel updater" from Google's app store, used it to installed the latest franco kernel on my Nexus 4 (with stock Android 4.3), and found a problem with the gamma control.

If I adjust the values, nothing happens immediately. It appears that the changes will only take effect after I turn the screen off and on. Is this expected?

This makes it difficult to compare the effect of the changes. But I understand this could be a hardware limitation.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TToivanen:
Yes it is perfectly normal, colors get applied by turning your display off and on again. It's been like that since 4.3.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netvope:
I see. Thanks.

So what I come up with is to run "input keyevent 26 && input keyevent 26 && input keyevent 82" (screen off, screen on, unlock screen) from an adb shell while I keep my eyes on Nexus 4's screen. Not perfect but better than nothing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TToivanen:

[HTC Desire X] A Wild Magikarp:
Title says it all but there are ROMs that include a boot.img in them and some others don't.

What do I do with this boot.img?
[HTC Desire X] GtrCraft:
Well let me give you the steps

1. Make a backup of your contacts and apps if you want

2. Be sure you have at least 50% battery left

3. Go to the custom recovery and make a nandroid backup incase something goes wrong

4. Do a full wipe in recovery (data, cache and dalvik. System is not needed but I recommend to do that one also)

5. Install your rom in recovery

6. After that is complete go to fastboot and flash boot.img if that's needed (like going from JB to ICS or otherwise)

6a. If you have boot.img that works with the new rom and you don't want anothet you don't need to flash it again

7. Let the phone boot for the first time (this takes 10 minutes max)

8. Setup your phone and restore your apps if you want

That's it
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Just to explain your question directly: For JB Sense based ROMS, you can use every JB kernel from Original Development section including stock kernel. That's why there is no kernel installer in each ROM thread. You can use a kernel Installer of your choice, replace boot.img with one of your choice and run the bat file while your phone is connected in fastboot mode to your PC.
[HTC Desire X] zanatron:
The most important thing u have to take care of is that the roms is for ur Hboot version as you are JB I guess your Hboot should be 2.24 so look for that kind of roms and follow the steps given by [MENTION=5293805]GtrCraft[/MENTION]

Hope everything go well :)

EDIT:someone can tell me how to link an user? maybe [MENTION=5293805]GtrCraft[/MENTION] ?
[HTC Desire X] geforce660:
If I follow these steps and reboot the phone, it boots with the stock rom and some new apps only.. no new rom is installed :s
[HTC Desire X] GtrCraft:
You are using the wrong recovery for your hboot: JB is hboot 1.25 and ICS is hboot 1.24
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Take a look at this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2502327&highlight=guide+hboot
[HTC Desire X] geforce660:
It says "HBOOT - 1.25.0002", so it is JB. I thought I used the right recovery.. will install another recovery. To install the recovery I have now, I used the Windroid toolkit for the Desire X.. Maybe I chose the wrong version or something ..

Thanks for the link. Will try to install another recovery for JB when I get home from work.

EDIT: I tried it, but it still failed.. any other suggestions?
[Zooper Widget General] ProfessorStein:
I have a widget (that was originally defined by another developer).

The menu on Long Press on this widget does not have an Edit option. But a Short Press gets me into the config pages and I can edit layout, etc… UNTIL I set a Widget OnTap Action. Once defined, of course, short pressing on the widget executes the OnTap Action, and I seemingly have no way to get back to the config pages.

Am I missing something? a) why is this particular widget lacking the “Edit” option in the Long Press menu, and b) without the edit menu, how can I enter config if I’m defined another OnTap Action?

Open Zooper from your app drawer, then select "Configure Widgets". You are presented with a list of widgets you currently have active (naming them helps a lot here!). Select one and you will get the widget edit screen for that widget.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] TFTomSun:
To save memory space on the internal phone storage, the map download of Here Drive (+) can be switched to the SD Card with this registry key:

Location: Local Machine

Path: System\\Maps\\Storage

Key: UseExternalStorage

Type: DWord

Value: 1

I suggest to delete the existing maps in here drive before changing the registry value. When the value is set, here drive will only look in the SD Card for maps, so the old maps on the phone can't be deleted via here drive anymore. You can always toggle back to download the maps on the phone storage by setting the value back to 0.

Feel free to add the setting to the SAMWP8 Tools as a toggle button

Have fun!

Well, the change affects all applications that use maps.

And I do not mean to imply that your information is not useful. Only that it had been mentioned before in another thread, if it should continue there because, effectively, you have expanded the information. :good:

And it is not necessary to clear the maps stored on the phone, only affects the memory space, but does not mean you can usually download the SD

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] heiopei4321:
Frustrated...

Dear experts,

being a wp-fan almost right from beginning (starting with WP 6) I am really about to loose patience with MS. I installed the DP of WP10 ... and had to realise afterwards, that Lumia Storage Check Beta meanwhile has been removed from the app-store. Although I have the .XAP-file I can't install it to my mobile even though I run it in 'developer mode' which shoul allow for installing local apps without store check. I read from the thread that one registry key needs to be altered to force my lumia to store maps to SD. But: I have no clue what is necessary to do this (oh, I can hear the experts starting to mumble...).

Would you mind to give the newbie a hint how to proceed? Without having the chance to put my Here maps to SD my Lumias are almost worthless (at least as a mobile device). Unfortunately MS does not seem to realise what they have done... sad.

Thanks in advance!

I can help you out.

Download and install Android File Transfer, which will install the necessary drivers for your phone to connect to your computer. http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

Enable developer options on your phone by going to Settings > about phone and tapping the build number 7 or so times. Then go to the developer settings and enable USB debugging.

Once this is done, in your folder entitled your "username" in your Mac (the same folder that has Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.), create a folder titled Android.

Inside that Android folder, put these two files: http://cl.ly/SMwW and http://cl.ly/SMiC These are adb and fastboot.

Once that's done, open Terminal, type:

cd /Users/yourusername/Android

and hit enter.

Then type:

./adb devices

hit enter, and you should see your phone's serial number so long as you enabled USB debugging as described above.

Then type:

./adb reboot bootloader

hit enter, your phone will reboot to the bootloader

Download this file and place it inside the Android folder we created earlier: http://cl.ly/SMw9 This is the latest TWRP for our phones.

Into the same Terminal window, type:

./fastboot oem unlock

hit enter, WARNING: your phone will be returned to stock and your storage erased, once that's done, type

./fastboot reboot-bootloader

and hit enter to reboot back into the bootloader that is now unlocked.

Then to install TWRP, type:

./fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-hammerhead.img

and then reboot the bootloader again. I would then suggest hitting your down arrow a couple of times and booting into recovery, where TWRP will prompt you to root your device with SuperSU. Alternatively, here is the SuperSU zip that you can put onto your phone's storage and flash in TWRP. http://cl.ly/SMlk

I assume youve tried the simple things like rebooting your phone, so you could try reflashing another ROM (maybe even the same one with a full wipe), I would try a different ROM, or an older nightly build that worked. You should make a nandroid backup, then when a newer build is released, restore the backup and flash the new build which hopefully has fixed the issue.
