[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBTaylor1984:
Hey gang,

I know that this is one of the reported issues of this phone, but bear with my question.

Now I've manually using Root Explorer upped the volume of the headphones and the speaker, both are in effect and the headphones are effectively overly loud (excellent) however the loudspeaker is louder, but ringtones and sms play with distortion on certain items, which obviously because i increased the volume, it does mean quiet sources like youtube are easier to hear, and generally only the bass suffers, but my real question here is, what is a quiet loudspeaker and what is a normal loudspeaker on this phone?

Some people have suggested calling Google for a RMA, but I'm thinking other than this issue, the phone is perfect, I don't want Google giving me a phone worse off then my current one, yet because of the internetz I dunno whether i'm expecting too much out of the loudspeaker or if it genuinely has an issue.

Can anyone suggest what i should expect out of the handset? I mean before increasing the volume it was crystal clear, but a little on the quiet side, now it's louder but can be distorted depending on the audio thoughts? can someone describe a bad loudspeaker to me?

Thanks to those who reply..

Luke.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valdeck:
Expect distortion when the sound is loud enough to hear in a room with an average amount of ambient noise.

What you have sounds normal to me. You won't get enough volume to easily hear it above other noise with out distortion the physical speak is just to small.

Also be careful there is a fix coming from Google soon make sure you revert your changes before you install it in case Google has done some speaker tweaking of thier own.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBTaylor1984:
Well thats good enough for me. I'm ok with the quality of the speaker, but not impressed.

I did a little test with my Lumia 1020, and the volume of the N5 @ 70% is equal to 1020 @ 22/30

The difference is the Lumia can go to 30/30 with no distortion.

So it's as loud as the Lumia up to a point.

Good tip, i'll adjust it, when the update hits. Thanks man.

So there is all kinds of android 4.4 sense 5.5 roms floating around the International forum for pretty much any Cell phone provider except sprint. Anyone know of one that is being made for sprint that I am missing?

Well a month before sprint got 4.3 I was running 4.3 with sense 5. and we got a KitKat CM rom like a week after KitKat was announced. It wasn't perfect but It worked enough. Why would this be any different?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TriBeard:
Clean or dirty flash, doesn't make a difference. I have had it on InsertCoin, ARHD (my current rom), and some other various ones. It's only on sense roms, cm11 and 10.2 are fine, and I think that's because they don't have all the profile, prl update stuff. If you try to do either of those with that notification running, it says its already running, try again later. Viper didn't have it last time I was on the ROM. It would flash up upon boot sometimes, then it would go away. The rest of them never go away.

Hi, im new here sorry if posted in wrong section

I tryed rooting my Samsung Galaxy Note

I followed every step and unfortunantly after 40 seconds of pressing start I recieved on Odin a red Fail box

Odin looked like it had finished what it was doing even though it failed, so I pressed exit and disconnected the phone.

when I switched the phone back on I got this message

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"

So I connected to Kies but the phone wont connect. I tryed the recovery but ive never used Kies before so there was no files to recover.

I tryed firmware and initialisation by putting my model and seriel number in but there was nothing found for Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

I dont want to go any further as im not sure what im doing now and ive stopped researching as im nit sure what websites to trust or able to find a correct answer to my issue.

My phones a

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

SM N900

Android Jelly Bean 4.3

United kingdom

(Not sure of other details I cant get into phone to look)

I thought I would come her as my friend recommended the site. I need help on how to make my phone work again.

I can still boot in download mode but I cant connect to computer but I havent tryed to connect to Odin.

ive rooted 5 of my other phones and tablets in the past and never had an issue, so this is new to me :(

Any fix I am happy with weather its a root fix or back to normal fix I just want my phone working again.

I definantly wont be rooting again im worrying my phone wont work at all now

thank you for any help!

They have a different server now. A lot slower though...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ERamseth:
(I'm not sure if it makes sense to roll this into one thread.)

I looked around and couldn't find a 4.3 stock ROM (rooted or not) or kernel that can be flashed from CWM or TWRP recovery. Consider this an official request for someone to upload it if they have it on their machine.

If no one has it, can someone point me in the direction of making this myself? I'm assuming I can run the official RUU then maybe make an image of the result?

If there isn't one available because it can't be done, can someone let me know why?

Thanks... And mods, if this thread is in the wrong place or it seems rude or whatever, feel free to move or close it of course.

These are amazing tablets. They run full Windows 8.1 with Office home and student included.

The one downside is this is for the 32 gig version and it doesn't have that much space left after the OS. About 13 +- gigs free. It does have a micro SD slot and supports up to 128.

I got it and put one of the micro center 32 gig class 10 micro sd's in it and out the door was under 250.
[Member-Found Deals] Deleted member 5149701:
I want one, but no USB.
[Member-Found Deals] richdaley:
Do you mean full size USB? These have micro usb host so you just need an adapter. The Microcenter near me has 2 open box units for $183!

I want one but I told my wife to slap me if I mentioned buying another Windows 8 tablet. Every one that I have owned has had a problem of some sort. I purchased and returned two HP envy x2 units because of broken speakers, an Asus ME400 because it was randomly rebooting (it needed a bios update but the update kept failing), and an Acer W3 because the touch screen kept failing and would become unresponsive. These Bay Trail tablets are pretty tempting. I wish Microsoft made an Atom device. I think that the problems I have had were caused by the OEMs.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
Ok this isn't your typical soft brick/bootloop but it has been happening occasionally ever since I got the phone back in August. Sometimes after I flash a new ROM or just simply reboot the phone it will hang at the Samsung Galaxy S4 splash screen indefinitely and I either have to hold down the power button to turn it off or do a battery pull. Once I do it's usually fine for a while and boots up correctly. It's been happening more often now with Kit Kat. I just dirty flashed the newest build of Euroskank's CM11 over a two day old build of the same and it has done it about two or three times. Once a battery pull didn't even fix it and it had to do it a second time. I wish there was a way to get kernel output (dmesg) during bootup so I could actually see what the hell is going on. Is the kernel panicking? Is the initrd not loading or decompressing correctly? I saw that Chainfire had an app for this but it just FCs on Kit Kat.

Has anyone else ever had this happen with the S4 or know of any way to investigate it via ADB or some other method?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
What recovery are you using? And what version if it?

I know this was a common problem when TWRP first updated to version 2.6 (though I think they've smoothed that out with later released of 2.6.x)

So it could be recovery related.

Hi, I've been searching the web for a while, and I can not get any information on QTEK.

Each european country gets his QTEK web site, but this is always in fact the site of a distributor ( mostly DANGAARD and Brightpoint ),and I can't find the original QTEK.

Does this company exists ? Is there any way to contact them ?

The problem is simple: I have a QTEK 9100 device which is neither from Brightpoint or Dangaard (I tried many web sites), now the onlly way to know the origin and try to register for support would be to ask QTEK which distributor sold my device ( I think using S/N or IMEI it would be easy).

Thx for any information on how to contact the real QTEK.

3. what is this "motorola fastboot binary"?
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
Make sure you have the lasted Motorola drivers, Motorola device manager installs them.

First thing is unlocking the boot loader, which requires SDK ( adb & fast boot), you must visit the Motorola boot loader unlocking web page. It will give you all the instructions on how to get fastboot code from your phone.

After you receive your email unlocking code and successfully unlock your ready for recovery.

If your running KitKat use twrp 4.4 only, cwm is not fully functional and I believe some people have had issues with open recovery.

you will need the Motorola (binary) version of fastboot (mfastboot) mfastboot flash recovery blah blah.IMG

Root access just download supersu zip, which can be found in the twrp 4.4 thread and flash in recovery, done

The most important thing is you can not flash any ota with any custom recovery, it will result in bootloops

Anybody had issues with the lense getting scratched easy? Any screen protectors for it?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Well, the first thing I would recommend is to never put anything over the camera lens. It will come out looking like a gnarly instagram filter.

Second, the lens is recessed from the back of the phone slightly, so it shouldn't scratch when laid on a surface. Make sure you aren't putting it in sand or anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
If you have your phone in a case it should provide enough depth to keep your camera lens away from the surface of anything you lay it on. Out of all the phones I had which is like 5 ( I know I'm a lightweight lol) only scratched my bolts camera lens.

If worried about scratching it and don't want a case then carry a piece of cloth with you to lay on.

Hey guys, I just got my n9005 and want advise on a few things.

1. What modifications/updates/fixes do you recommend I make to the phone. I know there's a whole load of bloat-ware I'm gonna have to disable/uninstall but mind you, I'm not looking to root... yet

2. What one application do you recommend for video playback. I usually use MXPlayer, but I'll admit its not perfect...

3. Lastly, any extra tips or recommendations will be much appreciated. Mind you, I really don't care about any of the gimmicky rubbish ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mikemq2003:
In order to uninstall the bloatware you have to be rooted. As far as video player goes. I just use the stock one. Seems to do the job for now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] daz_2000:
Stock video is bad. Cant play any avi or mkv. Ive tried loads and Dice Player is best.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
A lot of the bloatware you can remove without root access... :rolleyes: Ignore the people that say you can't.

Diceplayer and VLC for video, both free and both play everything. (most, mx included, don't play dts audio and some mkv codecs because of licensing issues.)

Replace touchwiz with Apex or Nova Launcher. Saves you 500 MB and is much faster.

Personally I also recommend Zooper Widget (you can also use it on the lockscreen), Sidebar Pro and Smart IR Remote(if you intend to use it as a remote for anything with an IR reciever. WatchON only does TVs and doesnt turn off even of you leave the app, so you have to disable it (you can) .)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] xclub_101:
If you are on a firmware BEFORE MJ3 the top advice is to not update "Samsung-way" (actually disable all auto-updates and security updates) but instead:

- root with Universal Root De La Vega (and the precise same firmware you have now)

- upgrade to latest firmware for your region using Mobile Odin Pro - that way the Knox flag will remain 0x0.

There are two threads on that, make certain you read those. After that freeze anything you don't really use and use greenify for the rest.
