I like em all, except sense based roms. I'm just not a fan of sense. Tiktak and Joelz gpe are two amazing roms (especially tiktak because Santod posted a inverted mms for me when I requested it) but to be quite honest my daily driver has remained Nitro's inverted eclipse gpe, no matter what I've flashed so far (and Ive tried most) I always go back to old faithful for me lol

I have tried out a few and so far EclipticOne-Inverted 4.3/Sense 5.5 has been my favorite. I am going to flash the 4.4 version soon. :)

this is very annoying. i think the volume button activates my camera when in my jeans pocket.

how do i disable the shortcut to the camera by the volume button?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fluke777:
I know you can take photos by pressing the volume key (an option in the camera settings) but I've been unable to find an option to create a shortcut TO the camera by pressing the volume key. Are you sure this is what's causing it?

is there any solution by now??????? im getting panik attacks...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fluke777:
Ah, I had no idea that shortcut existed!

Yeah, I can definitely see how this could be a problem. Doesn't look like there's a fix yet for non-rooted devices.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klotar:
I'm thinking/guessing that something else is causing the issue.

When the phone is in your pocket, I would think that the proximity sensor would be covered. If the proximity sensor is covered, then pressing volume down does not open the camera app (you can try this yourself by putting your thumb over the proximity sensor and trying to use the volume down key to open the camera app; for me it doesn't open. Take my thumb off, try again, and it does open).

Is your pocket "see through" or does it possibly allow light to pass through? Or does the top half of your phone stick up and outwards from your jeans pocket (where the proximity sensor might be exposed is what I'm eluding to)?

The proximity sensor is supposed to prevent "pocket pictures". Can someone who has the problem try the thumb test? If the camera app still opens with the sensor covered, that would at least explain it (doesn't solve the prob but we'd know why).

Edit: *if* it looks to be a prox sensor issue, here's a free app to test it -- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigermonster.proxfinder&hl=en
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vistascape:
wait a minute... is the sensor by the front camera? i still can open my camera when covering the sensor. why isnt my sensor working????

EDIT: the proximity sensor app shows my sensor working. what is happening? :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klotar:
Hmmm... I do not know.

Yes, the proximity sensor is in the cluster of 3 at the left of the earpiece grille (camera, proximity/ambient light sensor, led).

I have read on other boards that sometimes a screen protector can interfere with the proximity sensor. Some screen protectors go over that cluster, others have cutouts for them (the one that came with my phone has cutouts). The manual suggests that we check that the area around it is clean (not sure if they meant fingerprints or what).

So, with the sensor covered up, the volume down key still opens the camera app, correct? Hmmm... oh. Does your phone answer a call by putting it up to your ear (if you have that enabled)? I think that feature uses both the proximity sensor and the motion sensor.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vistascape:
i have that disabled. but when talking and taking the phone of my head the screen lights up and vice versa.

why isnt the sensor blocking the camera shortcut? very strange...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emboha:
I had the exact same problem. but in my case, i don't think it was the volume button, but the lockscreen.

Sometimes the phone woke up and somehow the screen probably swiped to the right enabling the camera lockscreen widget.

I disabled the camera locksreen widget and had no problems since...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vistascape:
i will try it. will report results tomorrow!!

but it doesnt explain why i can open camera by pressing volume 3sec while covering the sensor. the other guy in this tread cannot do that. there is something wrong with my phone...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjKr1z:
Hmmm, my phone normally can open camera in my pocket when pressing camera shortcut.

I always use this shortcut to take a photos when I need it for "urgent" moment.

I pull in my hand to pull out my phone from my pocket, I press the shortcut, so after I pull out my phone, the camera is ready for me.

And that's normal for me.

Can you check the camera button, is it too soft and too easy to accidentally pressed?

I never had issue like you.

With or without case, it's fine with me.

[HTC One V] CaptainCapone:
Hi guys!

First, i'm new to Android and starting to get known to flashing my device.

I have read many tutorials and threats, but never found an exact answer:

My One V is hissing when i use the headphone, which seems to be a common problem on the One V. Somewhere i read, that flashing the Kernel will help and remove this noise. Is that true?

My device:

Android: 4.0.3

Sense Version: 4.0

Software number: 2.22.401.7

Kernel: 3.0.16-g133e482 root@abm020#1 PREEMPT (I dont know what this is, I got the device used...)

So i read that there are some custom Kernels like Hellboy or Kiss, but do they help removing the hissing sounds?

If they do, which Kernel should i choose?

I'am afraid of bricking my device for nothing and would be glad about some help by you!
[HTC One V] MameTozhio:
Kernel: 3.0.16-g133e482 root@abm020#1 PREEMPT is the kernel build. you're on stock it seems. It might be your headphones, try others and see if it's still there.
[HTC One V] CaptainCapone:
I already tried 5 different inears and even some studio headphones. there are also several other guys here on xda-developers, who have the same problem. It seems that only the stock HTC Kernel devices have those problems, for examples the devices by the german provider O2 do not have those problems.
[HTC One V] LQi:
I understand what you mean and i dont think it depends on what kind of headphones you use. My audio technika headphones even have it. Do you hear the gissing constantly? Or does is disappear when there is no sound playing? It could be the audio output shutting on and off, I have no solution to this.
[HTC One V] r3d_ark:
U won't brick your device till u follow the procedure correctly... + if you are s-on, u r at safer side... Rest about the hissing sound... I also get it sometimes with hellboy... But not a big deal...
[HTC One V] CaptainCapone:
Our Nedterfo

on my device, the hissing lasts about 3 seconds longer than the sound played. Until it turns of the headphone jack. But unfortunately it is not only a hissing, but also some other nasty sounds while playing the songs, which makes the device unusable for listening music (for me).

I found several reports of the hissing problems, and also that those two specifications do not have these problems (at least it was reportet):

Software-Version: 2.08.401.2

Kernel-Version: 3.0.16-g42caf24

Baseband-Version: 20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M

Hissing: No

Software-Version: 2.08.401.2

Kernel-Version: 3.0.16-gd5b834a

Baseband-Version: 20.66.30.0831U_3831.15.00.19_M

Software-Version: 1.61.207.2

Kernel-Version: 3.0.16-ge3b527d

Baseband-Version: 20.69.30.0832U_3831.16.00.12_M

Hissing: No

and those, wo have the hissing problem:

Software-Version: 1.56.401.2

Kernel-Version: 3.0.16-gd5b834a

Baseband-Version: 20.66.30.0831U_3831.15.00.19_M

Hissing: Yes

Software-Version: 1.56.401.2

Kernel-Version: 3.0.16-gd5b834a

Baseband-Version: 20.66.30.0831U_3831.15.00.19_M

Hissing: Yes

Software-Version: 2.08.401.2

Kernel-Version: 3.0.16-g42caf24

Baseband-Version: 20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.18_M

Hissing: Yes

So, on the one hand, it might be the combination of kernel and software version, on the other hand it could be a hardware problem. Any suggestions how to go on? Perhaps there exists a custom rom without the problem? I have read through several of them, but never found something like "Hissing problem solved" in the fixes.

When i got up to download mode (odin mode)

Then i saw few things which i never saw before..

can any one explain about the details below please .. i don't wanna see any links just i wanted to know in this posts so that i can ask few questions :D

I have seen something like this.

Current binary: custom

system status : Custom

Knox kernel lock : 0x0

knox warrenty void : 0x1

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

Write protection : Enable

eMMC Burst mode: Enabled

what's that current binary : custom means, an system status custom means..

and what about write protection : Enable . does it affect anything when flashing stock rom through odin.

and what about eMMC Burst Mode: Enabled ..

Please if anyone that i will be grateful.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
All I can say.

It has been flashed before and is running a custom rom/recovery.

Knox is tripped. Flash binary is tripped.

Knox counter is a one time programmable efuse that cannot be reset anyhow. It can be a warranty void issue in many areas. :(

Thus you wont be able to use the KNOX containersnow.

Write protection enabled means a locked bootloader. Just simple.

Mortsscript can do quite some tricks, but it can't read the database...

If there is a scripttool that can, i'm interested to know, now, ik have no way to 'read' the appoinment data. There's a opensource POOM Wrapper, but it's not compiled to export the agenda, only contacts :(

Let's just say I had a lapse in judgement. I tried to flash a stock 4.1.2 image after taking the OTA update to 4.3. (Yeah, I know.) I then tried to flash 4.1.1, and then to the stock 4.0.4, which finally worked. I have tried flashing a 4.3 update file from the stock recovery, but it won't load since it says it's expecting to update files from 4.1.2, not 4.0.4.

Any suggestions?

Soft Brick after 4.3 OTA

Heloo all I am very new to the android scene and my freind rooted my i535 said it would be awsome. I didnt knokw that if i updated to 4.3 it would cause a problem. anyways now i am soft bricked and I dont want to revert just get the phone working again. Is there any hope for me?

Thanks in advanced
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] llarryweaver:
when you say soft bricked are you saying the unauthorized software screen is showing on your phone if so you could try 2 things.

this worked for me maybe it will help you 1. download the vrbmd3_bootchain.tar then boot phone into download mode (pull battery then turn back on with volume button down pressed while holding home button also) load odin and plug in phone then select pda and locate the vrb file select it and then hit start

2. start phone into download mode and run the verizon software upgrade assistant program maybe one of these options will work for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
4.3 OTA did NOT brick your phone. Flashing something after you took the OTA bricked your phone. It would be more helpful if when you post on a thread you had more detail and you were more honest with everyone.Just Taking the OTA did not brick your phone.

What did you or your "friend" try to flash after you took the OTA ? a recovery ? try unlocking the bootloader ?? Need more detail. But nun-the-less ya you prob got a soft/hard brick depending what was flashed after you took the OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XXDroidZillaXX:
This worked for me after getting the unauthorized triangle. Boot in to download mode and when it gives you the options to continue or restart phone, choose to restart. It bypasses a check or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
From what I gather, Download Mode does not do this anymore on 4.3 when you flashed older firmware than 4.3. No way to skip past that as you're stuck.
