[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iivari69:
Hey.

I charged S4 mini with Tab 3 charger without any problems and quite fast as well,

but after my phone was fully charged I noticed that it drains battery very fast, even in idle.

If I charge S4 mini with original charger, battery will last much better.

It normally drains about <1% /hour or so (idle), but when charged full with tablet charger it

drains about 1%/5-10minutes (this was on regular use) or something like that. Much faster though.

So I think, I just use original chargers with my devices. :)

Another thing that I'm wondering is that my Tab 3 charges very slowly from time to time.

Sometimes it charges at normal speed and then the charger feels much warmer than time it charge slow.

I dont know if Galaxy Charging Current Lite (app) shows correct readings on my tab, but

normal charging (warm charger) readings are 1600-1800(amps?) and other times,

when charging slowly, readings are about 200-600(amps?)

I have tested with different USB cables, with same results. So is this normal (I think not), or is my charger broken?

I know the thread references WhatsApp but not sure whether it's them or Omni...

When you receive a message if you open WhatsApp from either of the notification pop up or your notification drawer then you cannot type...the buttons push but nothing actually types?

I've found a workaround was to type an emoticon first then I am able to type again.

so my device is factory unlocked?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryccardo:
I would think so, but of course the only way to be 100% sure is to try with another card
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pjohn23:
I too have that kind of simlock config. but my bootloader = Unlocked. so no problem right?

Edit : and also, i have changed its sim before on GB. upgrading to ICS wont change it right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DannyDD:
It's fully unlocked, it can use any SIM card from any network.

U have the best of both worlds, fully open SIMLOCK and an unlocked Bootloader...

U can use any sim card from any network, and u can use any rom with any kernel... (if u use the correct ones of course)

And upgrading to ICS wont change the simlock...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pjohn23:
Glad to know :D maybe different countries causes simlock :D

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] LucentW:
Hello everybody,

I got my hands on this phone and I tampered too much with Qualcomm's FAT partition with the secondary bootloader, hardbricking the phone itself.

Trying to turn the phone on, shows the Samsung logo for some seconds then shuts down and disconnects, Download Mode is unaccessible but with VolUP+Home+Power the phone just stays connected (with the screen being black), but ignores any attempt to flash, Odin staying stuck on "SetupConnection...".

What I've tried already:

- Flashing with Heimdall -- phone isn't even recognized

- Removing the battery "trick" etc, etc, etc

- Changing .tar.md5 package

- Forcing a repartition with the .pit

Any clue might be useful, thanks in advance to anyone replying.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ShadowsDie:
You shouldnt had to play with the bootloader neither the SBL

Im sorry to tell you that if your phone doesnt acces neither recovery and download mode it is hard bricked

that is why odin doesnt recognize the device

however, USB JIG is the best solution (the other one is changing the motherboard)

You can follow this instructions http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-how-to-make-usb-jig-reset-binary-t1604707 to build one

using this

SHOULD

work but its even possible your bootloader is so messed up that will not open

You told me there about download mode, what about recovery mode? althought it should not work maybe God gives you a second chance
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] LucentW:
Actually ODIN recognizes the phone, but hangs on "SetupConnection...", sure the simplest solution might be the jig if there's a secondary bootloader in situ.

Obviously the recovery mode is dead, but still, I saw that it bypasses Samsung's logo and just reboots.

Since it's Qualcomm, probably the microSD emergency procedure used on the S3s might be a fair try.

If someone has still a working phone, can please do a dd image of the first 100 MB of the EMMC so I can see if this option is viable?

Might be a nice solution for hard bricked Qualcomm-based Samsung phones to unbrick those.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ShadowsDie:
First, for the SetupConnection try changing the ports but first BE SURE Kies is closed or end the task as Kies closes your connections using third-party programs

then reinstall samsung usb drivers or even adb drivers are good.

if you will find anyway to execute the command adb reboot-bootloader you could probably save the phone

2. I just read about the microSD procedure, it looks like a pretty clever idea

I wonder how do you know how many MB's you need

so i have done here a 70MB IMG, and with 100 didnt worked so I did a 99 MB one

Remember you need Class10 16 GB Card

If somehow this solved your problem, i will do a post in our General Section

Good Luck, i'll stay tuned.

EDIT: I just noticed the files have 169 MB so I can't post them here, tell me your email and i send you, my email is hackerist22@gmail.com
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] LucentW:
I don't have Kies installed, since I never kept any Samsung phone with the stock TouchWiz ROM, but only the USB Drivers package for ODIN and so on.

I sent you a PM with my e-mail address, but you could upload the img to MEGA or whatever file locker service...

In the case this get sorted, I'll upload the IMG over my server and drop the link, so you don't need to worry about the link expiring or whatever ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] LucentW:
Tried to burn the SD card, it seems that the 7227A doesn't support boot-from-SD.

Anyways, I ordered off eBay for some change a jig dongle, as soon as I get that I'll try that way, but I think that it won't work since most of the hardware components (except for the NAND) are not made by Samsung.

I'll let you know how it proceeds ;)

Only way to restart it in recovery mode is from adb...

Any ideas what to do? all I want is restart it in recovery mode (but volume buttons wont work)...

Please help...

tried everything (kill server, start, drivers, google etc...)

He probably put a rom into it and phone wont boot that rom fully...

After I updated my HTC One to Android KitKat the Phone only records with one channel (left channel) instead of two (stereo) when using the camcorderfunction.

Anyone having the same issue?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustav30:
What Rom are you on? I wrote about that when I installed Viper over the weekend. Noticed exact same thing. Thought my second Mic was dead. The only one active is the Mic on the bottom.

But, I returned to my 4.4 stock kit Kat T-Mobile US Rom, and stereo recording is working.

If you can list what Rom you are on that would be great.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chdcmac:
I'm using the stock rom. Just updated from stock 4.3 to 4.4 (4.19.401.9) I'm from Holland. After the factory reset the problem still excist :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustav30:
Not sure...we need more testers to try some video recording and post results.

The problem is that testing a video and relying on the phone speakers to show the problem won't work, since the phone speakers will play the left track through both speakers, giving the appearance that audio was recorded in stereo...

The video needs to be listened through earphones, or copy the video from the phone to PC/MAC and then give it a listen.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chdcmac:
I've copied the video to the pc. The sound is still coming from the left channel. I hope this isn't permanently.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chdcmac:
Anyone, please? Am I the only one here who has this problem with 4.4? (OTA)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustav30:
I've seen a few posts in the Rom threads where people have brought this up. Saw a post in Revolution and Insert Coin threads.

But we need more people to test video recording and then listen through ear buds or on computer.

Anyone who is on the latest and greatest Sense 5.5 kit Kat builds, can you please make a short video using the Sense camera app, and listen to it through headphones or on computer? Do you only have audio coming out of the left channel?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chdcmac:
Yes. But strangely, when I restart the phone and make a video, then it works perfectly :S But when I make a second video, the audio comes only from the left channel.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audioralf:
I can confirm that.

There is a command, which HTC uses to activate the camcorder mic. Maybe HTC forgot to call this procedure when restarting the 2nd recording.

The function is already present in the phone application to enable the camcorder mic for the noise canceling function.

I use this as a workarround to enable stereo recording.

Maybe someone can compare the old and the new video app to find the "enableCamcorderMic" Function and make it available for other applications. There are some applications which allow to select between the main and the camcorder mic. They work on most devices, which have 2 mics, but not on the HTC ONE. This can be tricked out by switching to the phone application while a recording-application already records. Start a call and cancel the call. Then return to the recording app via taskmanager and you will have 2 channel recording. Unfortunately this does not work for the video app, which cancels video recording when switching to the phone app. But I did not need the workarround in the past for the videoapplicatiom. But now HTC has a bug in it. I hope someone could be able to isolate the "enableCamcorderMic" function.

Ralf
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustav30:
Hi - can you explain in more detail what your workaround is? Take first video - then open phone app - then go back to camera app? Or does this not work anymore.

Anyone else experience this issue of only getting stereo recording in the first go around...exit camera app....go back to camera app start a new video.

listen to the second video you took through headphones or on computer - do you hear both channels?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audioralf:
I described it more detailed here But unfortunately it does not help for the new camera bug, because the video application stops recording, when switching to the phone application. Normal audio application continue recording when taking or receiving a call, so they benefit from the oping of the camcorder channel which the phone application does for the noise canceling funciton.

Did you try to install the old video application from older stock ROM to your phone. Maybe that helps.

Ralf
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustav30:
I actually threw on one of the Sense 6 roms. Guess what, no good. Same exact problem.

Something tells me its in the kernel of 4.4.2.

What's bugging me is that no one else either doesn't notice this problem or doesn't care judging by the lack of of comments I've seen. It would be hard to get a Dev on board to look into if there is lack of interest.

Right now I've flashed a Google play rom. While the Google play Roms don't do video recording in stereo at least mono recording is handled correctly, by distributing the source to both channels.

In sense its not mono in that the right side is just dead. Nothing worse than playing back videos on a computer or TV and having the right speaker sometimes on and then off.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audioralf:
Yes your observation is totally correct. The camcorder mic is responsible for one channel. If it is not available you will get just one channel. In my testings the phone switched to mono recording from the main mic.

I tested to reinstall an older HTC video app via titanium backup, but it did not start. :(

Ralf
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigi311:
I can confirm this. I just did an RUU and i recorded using the voice recorder and video recorder and both come out with only 1 channel being used and its the left one.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xuxe5l1xvqutp0g/JSajfATqqY That has 4 samples in it, 2 using the latest stock update on the sprint htc one m7 and the other 2 are from the sixth sense rom rls2
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
I am running 4.19.1540.1

EDIT

Ok I see what you're talking about.

Steps to reproduce:

1 Boot to a kit kat sense rom

2 record video A

3 immediately record video B of exact same ambient soundfield. Repeat if desired for videos B1, B2 etc.

4 reboot

5 record video C of exact same ambient soundfield.

Videos A and C are in stereo, video B is in mono.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audioralf:
VoiceRecorder was never able to record in stereo, or select the camcorder mic. It stopps, if you change to other app via task manager. So you can not use my workarround to enable the camcorder mic.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

Yes, and following videos D,E, F... Only the first video is in stereo.

So the enableCamcorderMic function ist used in the new video app after reboot. I experimented with killing camera app, gallery and videoplayer after the first video and sometimes I got back the stereo without an reboot. For this I used the app "TaskManager" (not simply the function in the "recent apps" screen). But i could not find a reproducible way.

So we need a firmware switch for this function. Then all apps would profitate from it:

Selecting main or camcorder mic for mono recording.

Using stereo recording.

Using mono recording from both mics. This helps if you held the phone while making notes of a speech (e.g. in university) and recording. On the HTC ONE the main mic points to your body and not in the direction of the speaker.

I hope that one of the devs could find out how HTC enables the camcorder mic in the video app and in the phone application when pressing the call button.

Ralf
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustav30:
I had asked Kernel Dev Flar2 to see if he could reproduce the problem and he could on his M7. He said he might take a look if he has time, but I think he's got the M8 now, so not 100% sure. Hope that he can.

In the meantime - to counter the issue, I've flashed now a Sense 5.5 Android 4.3 Rom on my phone, running on top of KitKat firmware. Stereo recording acts normal the way its supposed to everytime exiting and reopening camera app. So if you need stereo recording, until someone fixes it, I suggest finding a Sense 5.5 Jellybean Rom.

For me its important because I'm always capturing videos of my 6 year old and can't tell her, 'honey hold on, I need to reboot my phone so I can record you in stereo"....

Somehow we have to grab the attention of HTC so they are aware, I hope they don't leave us hanging now that the M8 is out and attention is focused on that.

It would seem to me that everyone who is on a KitKat firmware/Rom probably has this issue - we just need more testers to confirm and then go to HTC on Twitter/Facebook.

Same problem here, every rom build on 4.4.2 with sense 5.5 or sense 6.0 is having this issue. 4.3 works fine, kinda frustrating problem and I hope HTC wil solve this with the next update. The camcorder function is really worthless now.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpzsports:
Same issue here! Thought it was an issue with just my device, but apparently it's a bug with Kit Kat. All my video recordings are almost impossible to hear the audio, and it's only recording the left channel. This bug needs to be fixed ASAP.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvdmartian:
Just flashed ViperOne and in just a few hours, I immediately noticed this problem. I've always been very happy with the audio quality of the videos I took when i was still on the stock rom. But now that it seems that theres no fix for this, I'm seriously considering going back to a jellybean rom for the mean time. Maybe a jellybean ViperOne rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpzsports:
Are there any 3rd party camcorder apps that might work without this audio bug?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audioralf:
Well returning to the former JV ROM helps, but does not solve generally the problem that HTC forgot to implement a functional driver to switch the camcorder mic on when you want to use it. All the other video applications and the pure audio applications should be able to use the camcorder mic. It is a discrimination not to give access. I hope one of the devs can solve this. I fear this will be the same on the M8. So don't leave us alone. I guess the better double membrane mic us only on the M7.

This totally works!

Just verified it myself.

Thank you because, I have to say, the idea of downloading some other kind of recording app I don't otherwise need just for this purpose really bothered me for some reason.

Meanwhile you opened a "ticket" with HTC support? How is this done?

Has anyone tried the social media approach? I don't have facebook or I'd hit them up right now. This seems like a insignificant bug affecting a significant feature- you'd think they'd be quick to fix this outright or at least acknowledge the issue and promise a fix will be included in the next scheduled update even if that doesn't come for a while.
