I tested version 4.4.3 and works fine and smooth. Version 4.4.1 has a plus, that have installed navbar, and for me probably as much. Fact this is kitkat version !

Any upgrades or something ?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumbledore78:
Hi there,

I've recently tried to do a backup of my G2 with the stock LG backup program.

It gets all the way through and a little message appears saying backup complete but then suddenly says 'backup failed'. In the notification area it also says 'cannot backup'with no error code or explanation.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know what I can do?

My G2 is running 4.2.2

Please help! Would really like to back my help.

Many thanks :)

From time to time I have a problem where all my audio plays at 2x speed (or something faster than normal.) It starts happening with no "apparent" cause. It applies to all sounds, so my ringtones will go faster, the voice command voice is faster, and MP3's as well. It happens without any over clocking, or with over clocking for that matter.

It goes away after a soft reset but is still quit annoying. Anyone else have this issue, or better yet, a fix for this issue?

Thanx; Lew

thats happend to me once or twice, however..i dont soft reset...i just stop all running programs and its fine

Same problem Here????? :roll:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Yoyogo:
I have the same problem when playing files off the storage card. So far, only thing that fixes it is a soft reset. Closing all open app's didn't do it for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jekagan:
I'm noticing the same problem as well, although I wouldn't say it plays TWICE as fast. To my musician's ear, it's more in the range of a whole step, which is common when 44.1KHz files are played back at 48KHz. Maybe there's a connection? I'd love to find out what's causing this.

As with others, the only thing for me that cures it is a soft reset. This is annoying, because it screws up the pitches of DTMF.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hellomoto_25:
Same here. You'd think that with such a high tech device and for the price, you'd get a device that at least played music correctly.

Is that too much to ask? I was going to ditch my iPod video and Nano and use my 8125 as my mp3 player but not with this annoying glitch.

not sure if that was what did it or not
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mnmbybee:
Check to see if your ringtones are on the miniSD verses the phone in the rings directory. It did that on mine and then I erased the ring out of the SD card and put it in the windows/rings directory and then it didn't do that anymore. Try and see. It fixed it for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gtdRR:
Mine are in those folders and it still does it. I have done registry tweaks and it does it. My friend has done nothing except install Agile 5.0 and his does it too, it has to be caused by using your own homemade ringtones.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jekagan:
Nope. I use a stock ring tone (Old Phone) and it still does it.

In a word I can tell you what causes this: BUG.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gtdRR:
I figured out how to make mine play the sounds at normal speed. I just connect the stereo headset and disconnect.

Let me know if it works for you guys.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] psychotron:
I tried this registry fix and it didn't work. I believe the registry fix is used when your audio isn't working at all, not for this speed issue. I'm experiencing this speed issue as well. It's pretty annoying. Connecting and disconnecting the stereo headset solves the problem, but only temporarily.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nice pants:
You're right, I edited the registry using my directions, and after a soft reset my sound speed was back to normal, I came to realize after the same problem occured again, that it was actually the soft reset that was fixing it. I've only had this happen twice, and unfortunately I haven't been paying attention to what I was doing before it happened.

I currently have the summiter custom 2.17 ROM installed and I never had this problem with the stock cingular ROM. So... it's annoying, but I don't know if I have the patience to look through the registry for the fix, when this will probably be fixed by the "official" cingular ROM whenever it's released.

This is just another one of those issues that we as early adopters will probably have to live with (like the stupid battery icon, and no vibrate on push email).

I'll keep looking though, and if I eventually come up with a fix I will definitely post it here.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thx1200:
I am having this problem as well and posted a comment on Cingular's forum. This problem happened often on the stock ROM, but then seemed to go away when I upgraded to the 2.17 ROM. However, it has returned! It seems to happen randomly every day or two.

Initially (when I was using the stock ROM), I called Cingular's tech support and they forwarded me to HTC's tech support. The HTC guy was sort of rude and initially accused me of overclocking, which I hadn't done! He told me to soft-reset the device, which of course worked, then that was that. Incidently, I have tried overclocking since then and it does not affect audio playback speed. How about them apples? I am not overclocking anymore. I only did it as an experiment.

Also, this is my second device (I traded the first one in because of this issue). And based on the number of people that run into this, I believe the problem is fairly wide-spread, just most people don't pay as much attention to the audio as we do or perhaps reset their devices more often. :-)

I wonder if a workaround can be created to exploit the solution of plugging and unplugging the headphones? Could somebody write an app that emulates the headphones being plugged in and unplugged? Or can somebody trap whatever messages the OS is sending around during that process and figure out which one "resets" the audio speed?

This is strange. I'm half wondering if it's a design flaw...

I hope this thread stays alive and somebody comes up with something. It is frustrating, despite being a "small" issue...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gtdRR:
Personally I always have my headset in my pocket and just connect and disconnect, but I'd love to see this problem fixed. I have noticed on my device that the sound speeds up when EDGE disconnects and reconnects because I loose signal while using Agile. Does anyone have this problem and is not using Agile Messenger??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jpolster2005:
I don't even subscribe to EDGE services, I just use mine for the phone, text messaging, and wifi. And I notice that it started doing it about a week ago, in which i did a HARD reset. It of course went away, and i was thinking it might be some of the Tmobile addons in the extrom. but it seems that cingular is having same issue. I havent even bothered to call t-mobile because all im going to get is a rep who doesnt know anything. its not like they can write rom patches. I notice it came back the other day and i soft reset and it goes away. I want to let you know i've had this issue with a computer before. Someone a long time ago wrote an AC 97 sound driver for BeOS that i used on an old emachines. There was a bug in the driver that made audio play back 10% faster. It was completely software related so maybe someone in the board here who knows about the registry and drivers for this device could find a way to patch the bug.

i'm having the same problem. It went away with the 2.17 release and came back with the 2.24 release. very annoying. a soft reset isn't fixing for me anymore either.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jpolster2005:
I have the stock t-mobile rom and i run a MAC so i cant flash it. it would seem to me that if you buy a device it should be perfect in every way and behave how the instructions and box say it should and that it should never ever have any persistent issues. I think we should all get a 50% refund on our MDAs

Bringing this one back up top...

My Wizard does this probably once a week, and it's annoying to have to soft reset all the time.

I was using my V3 over the weekend and I just put my SIM back in the Wizard this morning. Not even an hour later it started playing the sound faster. I haven't even started an application, I just turned the phone on.

Anyone have any idea what causes this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] heyitsaj:
What i have noticed is that overclocking my processor would make my phone speed up the sound after coming out of sleep mode.... I would clock it to 240 to run my emulator smoother then after i was done return the processor to normal speed and the ringtones and music would play like twice as fast after coming out of sleep mode... I have not had this problem anymore after i stopped overclocking my processor... has anyone experienced this problem and has never overclocked there processor???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cgrairden:
While I don't have the fix for this, I can tell you that in lieu of soft reset, you can turn on airplane mode, then turn it back off and playback speed will return to normal. Happens to me about once a week.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spencer1984:
Today I updated my galaxy to version 4.3 and I hate it. I was using planet to surf the web on my laptop and the update has somehow stopped pdanet from working. I looked around to try to find how to uninstall the update. I did not really find anything except these custom Rom things. I am willing to put a custom rom on my phone I just want to be able to use pdanet again. I looked for a guide to do this but did not find anything, I'm sure there is one though. If someone could point me in to the direction of a guide that will help me I would be greatly appreciative as long as it is on more basic terms I can understand. I just want to be able to use pdanet again to play games and surf the internet. Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nyfl2004:
If you accepted the 4.3 OTA, there is no way to go back to MD4 at this time. The update has installed the Knox bootloader. You will brick the phone if you try to go back to MD4. Until the devs find a way around this, you're stuck on 4.3

BTW, I do have a working gmail. In fact, everything is working so well for me that I no longer use ROM Slots and am just running out of my stock slot on my 16GB Kindle HDX 7"... This script was the final piece I needed to have a happy Kindle HDX 7".
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] evilgrin98:
I confirm it works, but Jesus

First thing's first: thank you for all your hard work. I confirm that this is working, and it's exactly what I wanted: Google Play Store with all Amazon Prime services in tact. Kudos!

My issue, which I'm trying to help with here, is that the instructions were off and vague almost every step of the way. I'll try and return to flesh out the below post, but in the meantime:

1) Use Safestrap to backup the device I had running; the backup was sufficiently large on my device that I couldn't run a rom slot parallel to it.

2) Use Safestrap to install the provided clean rom and SuperUser ZIP. Then wipe the device.

3) Boot into the rooted fresh ROM and install ES File Explorer with SU permission.

4) Follow Android Cowboy's instructions to install a Google account and the Play Store. (I attempted to use the KindleFree app you referenced and found it mostly broken and useless. Not recommended.)

5) Install Script Manager.

6) Download swap 0.0.2. The bat file did not function as expected, so I unpack the contents from "pushme" into /data/local/tmp/.

7) Use ES File Explorer to set the permissions for *.sh per the broken bat file (755).

8) Use Script Manager to run install.sh as a "script/executable": flag as SU with the argument "-c". The device will reboot.

9) Use Script Manager to run CM10.sh: flag as SU with no argument.

At this point, the Play Store will download and install apps, and at least the Amazon Prime video service continues to function as expected without having to continuously swap app stores. I'll play around with it tonight and tomorrow and return either with more specific instructions or any issues I discover.

Thanks again!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] _Alex_:
Glad to be of help! I'm vague because I did this over a course of three weeks, so I can't remember most of my steps for certain. KindleFree is required first, as I've done Android Cowboy's tutorial by itself and produced all sorts of errors as many in that thread had experienced.

Sorry to hear the script didn't work quite as expected, feel free to add more 'belt and suspenders' to it, as it was purposefully left bare bones...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tech6:
evilgrin98,

Thanks for your contribution to Alex's efforts. You guys make a great team. :) Your method worked for me. I wasn't able to get Alex's working. I noticed some failure text at the end of text, but was unable to copy it.

It was tough following the directions because I am not familiar with the lingo. However, it was good enough for me to figure out and get PlayStore working. This means I can search, download and install apps.

I'm not sure how Amazon is suppose to work now. I don't have access to the Amazon Kindle App, Amazon App Store, Chrome browser opens into a black screen and won't go to any web page and I am unable to get live wallpapers. I've tried Stunt's fix (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42181794&postcount=75) which is suppose to work on HDX, but I haven't been able to get it to work.

My question is how do I get Amazon to work? That's why I liked this script because of the ability to have both stores. I wasn't sure about how to use amazon.sh or cm10.sh. Also, you wouldn't have a fix for live wallpapers, would you? :)

Thanks again guys for a job well done. I really appreciate your efforts.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] _Alex_:
After running install.sh, you Amazon.sh or cm10.sh to switch between stores.

For working Kindle and Appstore, you'll need to use the Amazon launcher aka home. You can only download new content while the Amazon Appstore is active.

Live wallpapers isn't something I wanted, so I've never found the answer....

Default kindle reading app

And it sounds like the amazon os kindle reading app is a no go right. Many other people are sideloading an older version of the apk and preventing the google play store from updating it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tech6:
"After running install.sh, you Amazon.sh or cm10.sh to switch between stores." I used your script, but installed using Evil's method. I guess I am not understanding how to run those files. Do I place your script folder or those files in the Kindle download area and use one of the scripts to switch between stores from there? I was going to do it in script manager, but it looked as though I would be re-installing the script.

For working Kindle and Appstore, you'll need to use the Amazon launcher aka home. You can only download new content while the Amazon Appstore is active. After reading this I used the Amazon launcher, but wasn't able to use the app store. It will just flicker and not open. I can go to the Amazon store, but can't use the Amazon app or Kindle reader on the Amazon launcher or any of my other launchers. It's not like I purchase a bunch from the app store, but just curious why it isn't working. I do have Kindle books and just wanting to know how to get it back to working. I will try installing an older version of the app and see if it will work.

Live wallpapers isn't something I wanted, so I've never found the answer.... I understand. No problem, just asking in case you had them working on your kindle.

By the way, since you are now working off your stock rom, did you delete SafeStrap or keep it?
