[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hin3K:
Hi guys!

Few weeks ago my loudspeaker started to fail.

It happens when the sound gets too loud (usually more than 75% of the volume bar).

I can hear a brief click sound and then silence.

When this happens I have to stop the sound, usually by leaving the running app and turning the volume down. When I hit the volume threshold it happens again.

I tried resetting the phone, flashed other roms but the problem persisted (I am on Dirty Unicorns V6 from 02/02/2014).

Then suddenly, after few days speaker started working fine again, full volume bar and music buzzing. But after few days of happiness the speaker started shutting itself off again.

If I want to listen to anything loud I have to use and external speaker, both mini jack and bluetooth work fine on full volume bar.

Where is the problem.

Could that be a hardware issue?

Please help.

Check out mobizen , in playstore.

I've tried it with omega rom and windows 7 OS. Works perfect.

It needs an application on your mobile and another one on PC.

Hi I'm using android emulator and it works correctly. I want to emulate an Xperia model, the device runs correctly but when I check the device name in parameters there no name, no IMEI. I want to use an application that will fully play only on an xperia model although the application runs perfectly on any android phone, it needs to be Xperia to fully unlock all the options. How can I make the device be recognized as an Xperia?

Thanks

hi, i have a problem regarding the camera

there a couple black dot in it and just to be sure, i already disassemble the phone to check whether it is dust...

already flash stock 2.3.6 , 4.0.3 , CM10.1 , CM 11 , but no luck...so im sure its the hardware problem

so here im asking if its possible to buy the camera module only? can anyone give me link?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Yes you can just buy the camera part & assemble (If you're confident!)

Just search ebay or amazon "galaxy s2 camera" in parts!!

Here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_o...a+&_nkw=samsung+galaxy+s2+camera&_sacat=43304

Best to replace lens cover as well while you're at it (only few squid!!) to be on the safe side!

I'm surprised you asked here first before looking for part!?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VannM:
THANKS!!

btw, im asking here since trying googling it with the result is something different from the one i want...

btw, are the i9100 and i9100G camera the same? no firmware clash?

and do you think that this is sold in stores(phone, electronic)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
As far as I know camera's are same, not sure where you'd find a store that sold this part??, as I'm not from your part of the globe, I'm in UK! ;)

If you can't manually add the APN you may want to try another ROM to see if it auto detects your settings or at the very least allows you manually add an APN.

Hello, guys! I've been searching about the problems I am about to describe but I found no solutions. The first and most important issue for me is video does not synchronize with audio while playing. Both in MX Player and in BSPlayer, video playback is slower then the audio, which plays normal. Video files, made with the phone's camera does not have this issue, but an WMV video I downloaded does it. The video file is about 11 MBps and 192 kbps for the audio, Sony YUV codec. It played normally while I was with the stock ROM. I can't also stream videos (and that same one) from my Dropbox cloud. The second issue is when playing games, Real Racing 3 in particular. I came to know that this issue happens with other games too. The audio of the game is extremely laggy. For both issues I will try to provide more information if needed. I will really appreciate if someone points me to a solution. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] DMJoh:
Video and audio sync problem with wmv may be because of inappropriate codec/no codec, see whether you installed codec for Mx player along with the player, and for gaming just try GL tools for the time being, but i dont think it may help with audio. There may be a problem with audio codecs in CM11 ROM.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Draeconix:
I know there are a ton of other threads regarding Knox out there, I have read more than a few, but I am still having trouble. I have a SPH-L900 (Galaxy Note 2 from Sprint). I recently made the move to 4.3. Prior to this I had 4.1.2 and was Rooted but did not have any custom ROM. I did have a custom recovery, TWRP. I took my device back to stock using a toolkit which I had used to root it in the first place. I then used Kies to upgrade to 4.3. I then proceeded to attempt to root my phone again using CF-Autoroot. It worked but of course Knox reared its ugly head. This sent me searching for how to disable it. Almost everything I tried didn't work. In fact, at one point I thought I totally screwed up my device but was able to find a stock ROM that worked with ODIN. So, I am back to stock 4.3. Here comes my question.

I saw many different methods and options for the N7100/N7150 but things seem to be a little light when it comes to the SPH-L900. How can I root my phone and disable or remove Knox? Most of the methods I saw seem to need root access which Knox is blocking, thus you end up in a loop. The app needs access to remove Knox but Knox won't let it have access. There must be a way to do it, I am just tired of reading forum posts, I just don't have that much time. If anyone has some thoughts or can assist me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

P.S. Knox is ob-knox-iuos. Like Windows User Account Control.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skye206:
I used the program kingo root, to root the phone and it also installs supersu. Once thats done simply install root explorer and delete knox related files. Use Odin to flash custom recovery done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Draeconix:
Ok, I will give Kingo Root a try. The problem I find though is that even once my phone is rooted, I try to use Root Explorer or anything else like that and Knox blocks the request for super user authority. Does Kingo Root do something different to allow Root Explorer a chance to do its thing before Knox can block it? I mean I WAS successful in rooting my phone or it seemed I was but Knox kept blocking that super user request. I think it also hides superSU so I couldn't even open SuperSU like the one method said to be able to remove Knox. Knox blocked SuperSU from even opening. I will try your method though and see if I have any luck. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Draeconix:
Indeed, your method worked. I was able to get rooted and delete all the Knox files. The only weird thing is Kingo Root still says Waiting for Device but it appears everything is done. I pulled the USB cable and it did nothing. It has been like that for several minutes so not sure what to make of that. Maybe just a glitch.

For reference here is a list of where the Knox Files are.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btvolta:
What version of root explorer did you use to delete the knox files? My buddy has this phone ( I'm on S4) and just rooted his phone and has the knox issue. We tried to delete it with root toolbox pro, and it just says deleting and goes on forever without deleting. He tried the free version of root explorer and it says it is a read only file and won't let him delete it. I have been able to avoid the knox issue on my phone, and am loaded on kitkat. We can use TB either because it requires root privilages, and of course knox is blocking supersu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Draeconix:
Actually I used ES Explorer. If you use this app you need to turn on Root Explorer. Hit your Menu button which will pop out a side bar on the left. Scroll down to Root Explorer and flip the switch.

I suggest starting from a fresh flash of stock ROM. Then use Kingo Android Root. Let your phone reboot and then go right to ES Explorer and delete files. Reboot if you want and you should be Knox free. If not then I am not sure where to go. As you see from my OP, I did try a lot of different methods. One thing to also make sure of is the exact model of the phone. Some methods don't work for some models. Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btvolta:
Thanks for the info, but I just went a head and odin'd twrp and then flashed a custom Rom for him, so all is well now. I am on the S4 and didn't ever accept the 4.3 ota, so never had to deal with knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kchannel9:
such confuse

Will this trip the KNOX "voided warranty" counter? I am on fresh 4.3 OTA MK4, and I want to be sure not to trip the setting since it is not already tripped. I have been reading many threads for hours now. Am I mistaken, and I need to go back to MC2 before I can do this? Or can I really just use Kingo Android Root, then ES and delete the KNOX files? Or does it only trip the KNOX counter when you flash a custom recovery, which we are not doing in this particular method? :confused:

Thanks for any info/clarification :eek:

Some time ago I was able to downgrade my S3 i9300 from Claro to 4.1.1. I did this in order to unlock the phone, and based on what I read here and on the web I needed 4.1.1 in order to get the menu that unlocks the cell. However after doing all the instructions and getting the cell rooted when I type the code *#197328640# I only get the same menu that was there when I had the 4.1.2 version on the cell, and of course it will not let me unlock the phone.

Is there any other way, like modifying some file or something like that, which could help unlock it? I am not afraid of having to use and editor to mess around with files. Any help will be appreciated. :confused:

Only one thing

Thanks darkmage93 for this link. Like the modified instructions say: "Instead, execute (at a Unix shell) the command "(cat nv_data.bin; echo -n Samsung_Android_RIL) | md5sum" on the NEW (modified) nv_data.bin to get the md5 value to use in step 14." This is the only thing I do not know how to do. I never worked with Unix, and if it is done with in the phone I still don't know. The only funny thing is when I looked at the nv_data.bin it already had the number changed to 00. I will look some more and may finally go with the paying option. :laugh:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aui164:
Hi guys

I am running Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 on a Galaxy Nexus GSM. I installed that last year with the easy to use installer.

2 days ago I clicked update on that M3 Snapshot. Since then, the phone is not booting anymore and hanging on the blue loading screen with the cyanogenmod face and the circle around it.

I can boot to Odin and Clockworkmod Recovery.

I installed the Android SDK and the USB adb drivers and it shows the device under "devices" without trouble but not as a storage device so i cant pull data via the windows explorer. I am on Windows 7 Ultimate.

When in CWM Recovery and trying adb pull it says device not authorized. Unfortunetly i switched off usb debugging right before i installed that update.

My question>

I have to save the photos from the internal sd card before i can just wipe everything and reset it to factory setting. How can i do that?

Any chance to get around the "device unauthorized" msg ? Via adb devices i can see the device in the list.

I searched around a lot and kind of out of options now :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aui164:
if it is any help. i was just able to flash the clockworkmod to 6.0.4.7 via heimdall in odin mode but i still cannot read data from the phone..

Adb should work in recovery so you could try and use "adb pull".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aui164:
adb pull gives me the message "device unauthorized". how do i authorize it in the recovery mode?

solved

ok if anyone cares for the solution:

i got all mad. i booted into cwm recovery and did the wipe all/factory reset. after that i clicked system reboot. the old cm booted smooth and quick. and all data on the internal sd card is still there. just the apps and their data is gone. pictures saved.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR.change:
Hi everyone :)

I'm a long time SGS2 and a galaxy Note user, and lately I've been thinking about buying an LG G2 (unlocked international).

since I'm a power user who hates Samsung's heavy skin, and seeing how close LG's skin is to that of it's home rival, I need to know how open to modding and flashing the G2 is?

the N7000 was pretty moddable but use anything other than samsung's stock based ROMs, and you have to deal with sudden reboots and crashes, and that's the case with all AOSP ROMs for me (currently running OMNI ROM on it, and it still reboots out of the blue at times)

so is the LG G2 anay different? is it easy to flash new ROMs to? how stable are AOSP ROMs on it? any features to be lost? (like the BIONZ image sensor on sony's z1 for example).

also any other advice and opinions on the device would be highly appreciated :)

thx folks :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Aosp are generally getting a lot better, a few reboots every day is to be expected, however. The phone is quite moddable, you can install custom recoveries and flash custom Roms, although the bootloader is locked.

You will miss out on quite a few features, but some of them can be flashed back. You might find stock best for you and since you are an sgs2 user I'm sure you will appreciate the fact that dorimanx develops kernels for this beast. Best of luck.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiayit:
Features to be lost - IR blaster, Qslide, and what not if you're running an AOSP ROM. Knock on works for most AOSP ROMs but Knockoff only works for some.

There're still some bugs with the ROMs, yes, but most should be pretty stable for you to use your G2 as your daily driver.

close your eyes, buy the nexus 5 :) this is ocming from a X galaxy nexus user ! its easy as **** ! fastboot oem-unlock ,BANG root and do **** from fastboot ! while on the g2 its not that simple, its tough and many people have semi bricked their devices. so if your a flashahoilic like how i used to be, i suggest you get the nexus 5 . so why did i buy a g2 ? frankly speaking, it has everything i want to use in its STOCK ROM ! yup its a dafuq moment right there mate :p touch to wake,manual focus camera,a HUUUGE battery , good screen on time, a remote :p ( turned off the projector in college lectures :P ROFL etc etc ) i love this phone and just waiting for kitkat to be released officially. and also , this phone DOES NOT SLOW DOWN over time ! my friends note 2 got dam slow after about 2 weeks while the g2 is going just buttery smooth even on 4.2.2 . so it depends upon what you want :)

edit- lg's ui looks similar to the ****whiz of samsung but it does not slow down like ****whiz does :p
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TEXASMADE1978:
Also on the G2 you can mod just about everything with the Xposed mod, check it out and you will get an idea of what you can do to the G2 with that alone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR.change:
Haha! no man I'm not a flashaholic or anything :P I just want something that works and works smoothly, can you believe I never ever flashed anything on my SGS2? it just worked beautifully on GB, but then I got the note and all that changed, it was slow as ****! had to flash a tons of different ROMs on it! :/

hmmm..now I'm seriously considering the G2! so how's the RAM consumption? the LG UI looks heavy but you guys are saying it's light? like...finally lag free? yay! hmm, and how's the stability of stock? my friend's S4 randomly reboots even on stock, but my brother's HTC ONE never ever rebooted in the 4 months we've bought it :)

so is the G2 that stable with stock? and did LG improve it's record at software updates? do you expect to receive kitkat soon?

also, the 16 GB version is only 420$ where I live, while the 32GB version is 510$ unlocked, I'm thinking of getting the 16GB version just because if I go with the 32GB then the note 3 is just 70$ away hahahaha!

I don't install games, so I don't think storage would be an issue, what do you think? and is it different when installing ROMs? the 16 from the 32 GB version? I don't think it matters since flashing ROMs shouldn't affect the partitioning table (well unless you specifically flash a partitioning file!), but who knows how LG does things.

also...I think I'm getting either the Gold or the Red versions since they're Matte! any of you had an experience with those?

nice one witht he projector btw :P hahaha
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
I would generally consider the 32 gb option the better option here since it's really 10 gb of storage vs 24 gb of storage. You can't mess with partitions - at least nobody tried.

I would slam a case on it anyway since it's so fragile. The zero-gap screen technology makes the digitizer break if the screen breaks.
