[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Dandgqro:
Let's get clear cd quality is only possible through loseless audio format such as flac, alac or wav just for mention a few ones.

So if you have a mp3 file at 320 kbps is compressed audio in a lossy codec, so it might sound good but it's not cd quality, and definitely sound muchs better than a mp3 file at 128 kbps, the higher the bitrate the better the quality of the sound.

Aptx standard is programmed to work with no loss up to 320 kbps, that means if you use aac at 441 kbps or flac at 1015 kbps it will anyway lose some quality.

Aptx loseless has been released, and it promises in the paper, it will work flawlessly with loseless files.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to use the new aptx loseless, but it might be just marketing....

Sbc is the ordinary codec used in bt audio streaming, and it also depends in versions of the sbc, but i stream audio from my old ipad 3 with no aptx to a lg bt speaker, with no aptx, sound is great, just as good as my xperia z3 streaming to my harman kardon aptx bt speaker.

So... Not a big fan of aptx

I have no SIM card yet for my Droid. Is there anyway I can still get into the phone and use my WiFi for the internet and apps?

There is a method of hitting the 4 corners in order to proceed.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuddagh:
Anyone have ideas for the best, cleanest way of displaying pictures and videos stored on Moto G on an Xbox 360 connected to a TV.

I've heard reports of this feature being integrated to some android phones via a button in the gallery. This doesn't seem to be showing up on the Moto G. Would be great. Suggestions?

Also, what apps integrate well between android and Xbox? Similar to how well the youtube app works between both platforms.

Be great to hear peoples' ideas.

If you are s-off yes. Otherwise, wait for beaups to update rumrunner
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] djerk:
Thanks, I am s-off, how eould I get root back if I take ota,
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dynofrk666:
If it works the same way as the previous OTA, you just flash supersu.zip in recovery after taking the update and you have root again. I haven't personally tried it yet so hopefully someone else can chime in to confirm that's how it would work.

EDIT: just tried this and that's exactly how it works. If you're s-off and take the OTA, just flash a custom recovery afterwards, then flash superuser.zip and you'll have root access.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Or just flash a ROM based on the new OTA, once us DEVs get the ROMs updated. :)

unless you want to stay on stock with root.

then you are perfect. :)

-----------

it is confirmed though that if you have S-OFF you can take the OTA and keep S-OFF?

Wonder why the delay on the OTA then. :confused:

also wonder why they'd give us this useless update, sure Android 4.3 is great and all, but we are running HTC Sense UI...

Why the hell didn't HTC update THEIR Sense UI!?

Sense 5.0 sucks compared to 5.5

HTC actually finally listened to the users on Sense 5.5 and added in great features including blinkfeed on/off toggle, No Do Not Disturb Mode (really the ONLY thing I wanted outta this update) :(

and no option to re-order the quick setting tiles on stock.

Lyapota did a great job giving us the re-order MOD, but it's just upsetting to me after the wait, really the only new feature I've found is the opportunity to separate ringtone and notification volumes.

Do Not Dis
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tangent_:
I just did this myself. When I got my One a couple of weeks ago I went from stock out of the box to unlocked, S-OFF, and rooted with rumrunner. I just restored the stock recovery through adb, reinstalled the few bloatware apps I'd uninstalled with Titanium, and let the OTA run. After that I reflashed my custom recovery, and with that I then flashed supersu.zip. I'm now updated through the OTA and still unlocked, S-OFF, and rooted.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrian:
My HD+ has a history of its screen flickering. It was mostly tolerable, but last night it just shut off completely and won't come back on. I was wondering what peoples' experiences have been on getting replacement or repair from B&N. If anybody has experienced this same issue, great, but I know some people have bricked their EMMC, too. I've only had it since March 1, but I no longer have the receipt. It is registered on the B&N site, but I wonder if it might cause issue that I'm running CM 10.2. The people with bricked EMMCs obviously wouldn't have to worry about that since the EMMC is dead. What is the procedure? Can you just walk into the store with it?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes, you can just walk in with it. Tell them the screen is dead and give them you serial number and name.

But if it has CM on it the warranty is void. So best to try to get it off. If you still have stock recovery installed you can do the 8 failed boot procedure to get the stock ROM back.

But if the store cannot tell CM is on it, then go for it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrian:
Yeah, it has TWRP on it. If they can't get the screen to turn on then they won't see it by turning on the device, at least not until later if/when they get the screen working, if they bother. However, I don't know if they have other methods of determining what's on the device, because it "works" just fine, e.g. I can plug it into my pc and manipulate the files on the storage, and adb probably works as well. This isn't the first time the screen has gone blank like this, but usually I can at least get the lock screen to display for a moment or two before it blacks out, and after a few hours it'll come back on. This time I'm not getting anything except a detectable brightening when you first turn it on that soon dims. However, it could easily just miraculously start working again as it has before.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherip:
This thread has got me feeling a bit concerned, because lately my screen is momentarily blacking out every now and then.

Sent from HD+ MAG2GA CM 10.2 from SD
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrian:
Well, my screen did start working again, so I've restored to stock. It now looks washed out and there is a 2-3 inch band at the top where it is discolored. I'm excited that tomorrow I will finally be in the vicinity of a Barnes and Noble and hope to exchange it. I just hope any replacement I get will have an emmc compatible with TRIM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrian:
Here's the final resolution. The Nooks have a 1 year warranty. I bought mine in March, but they tried to tell me that the warranty expired yesterday. Convenient. Well, it turns out because I bought mine from Walmart that they are going by the day that Walmart bought it from them. Whatever; the manager was sympathetic and offered to replace it, but there was a problem. I had the 32GB model and they didn't have any refurb 32GBs around. So I had 3 choices: get a refurb 16GB model, wait to see if they get any 32GBs in within a week (they could request one), or I could mail my broken one to corporate and wait for them to mail me a replacement. Since I can't make it to the store very frequently and probably won't be there for months and I don't want to deal with the corporate with whom I would have to submit my request for a replacement anew and hope they approved it, and because I was determined not to leave the store without a functional tablet, I ended up bringing home a shiny 16GB that I don't think was ever used or was not used much. Mostly likely a return from somebody who changed their mind. So yay, I got a new tablet, but boo, I have 16GB less storage space. I checked the EMMC for TRIM and it appears to be ok, so I'm pretty much good besides not being able to store as much.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sephstyler:
Hi all

Thanks in advance for any answers!

my n7 FHD is on 4.3.1 (JLS36I), and its rooted, modified mail client etc..

I've had the OTA prompt for a few weeks now, but it always fails.

Is there an easy way for me to apply to OTA (and retain data?)

else, how do i get it updated to latest kitkat? (i've done it before on other devices, but first time on a nexus device)

thanks

[HTC One X] tuncay_93:
Hello, I am coming from LG optimus 2x zone. After i brick my o2x (Dropped) I decided to buy a new phone.

I was looking for phones that are worth to buy.

The LG Optimus 4x HD and the HTC One X

What do you think is it worth buying a One X today ? (Since i don't want to buy LG phone again! Support and firmware updates on LG SUCK)

2. Is there something i should know about One X before buying (Other than that it is awesome) ( I had an HTC HD2 it had a hardware problem with touchscreen i ask for something like this) I read about many bugs (Screen WiFi etc etc..) But i don't want to believe what other people say about this phone i want to hear what users says :)

EDIT: I am thinking to buy this phone! even if there are a few bugs with it

In my opinion this phone is much better than any phone on the market today (Value for money) . This phone isn't just impressive specs written on white piece of papper It does have style it does have soul. Everytime i come accross it on any shop just screams BUY ME BUY ME PLZZ
[HTC One X] rehan512:
Yes you should know many things before buying.

1- some models of one x have wifi problem which is hardware issue also confirmed by htc.

2- battery will not lasts more than 3-4 hours(screen on time) no matter which rom you used.

3-Its camera is not in proper in shape in my opinion to keep it on rough surface. Camera lens got many scratches because of that.

4-front facing cam is not so good may be its mine but worse than my previous phone(galaxy s2).

If you can increase your budget buy a hox+ instead because i think as hox was the trial and hox+ was the finished product by htc. I jave not used hox+ so cant say much about that.

but still if you want to buy hox you will definetely not regret other than the battery life.

Because i think if you are putting money on this you must know all the negative points rather than all plus points which are many in hox no doubts.
[HTC One X] tuncay_93:
I will not buy carrier branded one. Definately i'll go for international unlocked HOX I had many phones in time I do likes sony's but nowdays to buy a good sony device is expensive.

About battery life my current o2x lasts arround 2-3 hours of intensive use (Its 3 years old) So ill be happy with that battery :D

About wifi problem if someone can tell me which models does have it? And is it fixable ?
[HTC One X] LuisDias:
Don't buy it, get a nexus 4 or 5..
[HTC One X] jialong.david:
I also planned to buy a HTC One X.....Same ambition bro....HAHA :D

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

why?

Nexus 4 is not beautiful as One X and Nexus 5 is quite expensive than One X.

One X cost $1000 and Nexus 5 cost $1500 (My country price).I can buy half One X if bought Nexus 5...

[HTC One X] and313:
A one x will be always behind nexus devices in development or any other snapdragon devices. If you dont care about roms and kernels you willbe happy
[HTC One X] parkentosh:
HTC's Sense interface is so unusual that you have to love it or hate it.

HOX itself is a good phone. As I've understood the WiFi issue is on earlier models. (for example none of the 16gb version should have it).

Battery is a disgrace. Mine only last around 2,5-3 hours screen on time (with AOSP rom). I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Ace some time ago and that ****ty phone could last for more than twice of my HOX.

Some early models did also have some screen tint problem. I think it was the glue between lcd and digitizer. This should also not happen on later models.

As i've understood HOX+ is not that much better (slightly better battery but not much).

But if the options are 4x and HOX then it's a no brainer.. Get the HOX. A friend of mine has the 4x (also Tegra 3) and if I compare the smoothness of stock roms than it seems like HOX is in another league. 4x just lags at everything (did some random test and HTC was a clear winner).

Are there any other phones you like at that price range in your country? (Nexus5 costs around 450$ where i live... and HOX still costs around 400$)
[HTC One X] tuncay_93:
In my country the prices between nexus 5 and Hox are not that much close... I saw a real 4x hd today in a shop the guy opened it for me and really it sux as i expected!

So nexus 4 optimus G and one x (I know many of you will say the nexus 4 ftw but the price difference....it is affordable for me but why do i pay extra for almost same phone... no sense)
[HTC One X] parkentosh:
All three phones are great but i I were to choose I'd got with the G.. It's got a better CPU, twice the RAM, Bigger battery and LTE...
[HTC One X] cuzzo94:
I'd buy a nexus 4 too. Tegra 3 is less powerful than nexus's snapdragon, it gets hot quite easily and battery life is quite bad.

Moreover HOX probably already got it's last update.

I'm not saying that it is a bad smartphone, i personally love it, sense 5 is great, it has an amazing screen and i'm still happy of my choice, but when i see nexus's smoothness and it's updates i think that it would have been better to buy it, even if it isn't as good looking as my HOX.
[HTC One X] PaKii94:
hey guy i was in EXACTLY the same situation as u. I came from the Tmobile G2x which was promised ICS but LG/NVIDIA/Tmobile didnt deliver.

I have bought the international version, I like it but it does have the wifi problem. I think its a great phone but if ur a guy that likes flashing stuff or needs alot of battery life i wouldnt recommend it. also, it seems like the same kind of situation might happen as what happened with the G2x, cause of tegra 3(from what i have read) its going to be hard to get 4.4 unless we get the official version first. Thus, i would stay clear. I think this kind of situation is negated from the new HTC one but in the s3/HOX/LGOG/N4 generation, the N4/S3 is definately the way to go.

hope this helps, I want peopel to learn from my mistakes :P

I need the latest software cause thats the geek i am but if ur content with what u have i think this is a great phone.
[HTC One X] tuncay_93:
Ok to be honest i do flash stuff... but the point is if i pay for n4 then i would go for the optimus G if i pay and that i will add little more and i will buy n5 :D

And the difference between the n5 and the G2 isn't that big either... wtf confusing situation :D i said and i will buy the hox. Here with the help of users and researches on the internet i have seen it's weak points so i won't be buying one with defect (i hope) :D
[HTC One X] PaKii94:
lg optimus g is limited in dev. I say if ur limited in budget find a nice used n4. if ur not get an n5. the differences is the LG counterpart usually are limited in dev. Also, I should say, i didnt have the wifi problem for a while until i first dropped it and from then on i got it.

The HOX is a great phone, if i give it to my family they would love it.... idk if its for the techie now tho.

the newer phones HTC ONE/S4/N5 are better in getting updates i think but then they are more expensive
[HTC One X] tuncay_93:
Don't care about wifi i guess 20-30$ on local shop should fix it :D but the point is that maybe even if i drop it wont be problem there...

Is it still great device :p
[HTC One X] PaKii94:
if it wasnt for this stupid wifi problem (Which there is a workaround but it requires opening up the phone. i havent gotten around to it yet) this is a great phone esp the price it is sold at. The one weakness i would say is battery. But again, if ur statisfied with maybe not getting 4.4+ then yeah definately get it
[HTC One X] tuncay_93:
Yea i guess ill be ok with 4.2.2 since i am more multimedia guy i want it to have good camera, good display for internet and movies, and good sound out of earphones. And it does have all of that also it does match my budged:good::good:

What's stored in .SMT folder? Can it be deleted? I have about 168Mb there that have not been touched since when I bought the phone in July.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pizzaman79:
Bump. It takes up 300mb on my S5. It contains .pil files. What are those for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hamedha:
Hello, The SMT file extension is associated with the Samsung Theme Designer used to create themes for Samsung mobile phones.

The SMT file contains compiled theme prepared to import to the Samsung mobile phone. Samsung theme file is originally ZIP archive with renamed file extension to SMT which contains settings, graphics and other elements used to visualize theme on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Marcelocohenarg:
Hello, does anyone know if this .SMT folder can be safely delete? It's 258 M in my S4. Is it something needed only in the installation? I don't even know how to create a theme, or do you mean the system itself uses it? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] allyalla:
it is Samsung's TTS engine HQ data for speach generation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pariah24:
If you don't use Samsung TTS you can delete it, but if you do use it then it will keep redownloading the files. They are offline translation libraries; the more languages you have the bigger it will be. Has nothing to do with themeing...it would be nice if people would just keep quiet when they have no idea what they're talking about.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranzee:
Hi,

I'm new here! and this is my first post :)

I recently purchased an iBolt XproDock - and love it.

Just one little thing that is annoying:

When you unplug the micro USB cable (or undock) - it automatically turns off Bluetooth. I dont want this to happen because I also use my Galaxy Gear watch - and that runs on bluetooth. So everytime I undock I have to go in and turn back on bluetooth. I've searched and can't seem to find anywhere which lets you control this setting.

To set or remove the operator phone skin

The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'

The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be set to '1' to show the operator skin or '0' to show the default skin
