If it's as good as the speaker on the S4 active then it should be fine as that's pretty loud
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
Since the S4 Active was never released in Canada, I have never had a chance to try it out. How does the speaker compare to the regular S4?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
Oh right, no worries. well I had the s4 and my gf has the active and the active is louder both speaker and in headphones
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
oh. i thought the note 3 had one lol
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
Well, that's good to hear, I know my dad's Z1 speaker sounds like absolute garbage when compared to the S4.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
Fingers crossed the s5 is as good

I tried a Galaxy S5 for four days.

I use my sennheiser apt-x headphones or hs3000 in the main with my s3 so that circumvents the problem a little

EDIT 2: See post #21 for an update. From my research, it appears that WiFi will never work in Android on the Surface Pro.

----------------------------------

EDIT 1: See post #13 for an update.

----------------------------------

Looks like it has some WiFi fixes for tablets. And since I'm hating the Win8 OS (for my purposes), I'm going to give this a shot.

Don't see anyone else on the forum that has tried this new 4.4.

I'm downloading it now.

http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-rc1
[Microsoft Surface] icedzed:
what version i have to download for surface?
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
4.4.
[Microsoft Surface] icedzed:
hmmm ok, are you sure this is working for the microsoft surface? the RT one? and can i make a dual boot?
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
I didn't say it worked on anything.

And RT is a definite "no". If it does work, it's Surface Pro only.
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
Bummer, 4.4 doesn't work for me.

I can run the Androidx86 4.3 without any problems.

But the 4.4 just does a kernel panic whenever I try to boot to it.

And there is no use running 4.3 since WiFi doesn't work on it.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Surface RT cannot boot any alternative operating system besides Windows RT and its 8.1 update.
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
Looks like the problem may be fixed with the next release.

Maybe if a developer here knows how to disable this "efivar" in the kernel, they could recompile the kernel for us Surface Pro users.

Do not know how long it will be before Android-x86 releases the next version.
[Microsoft Surface] iceflow420:
Eddie, which installation tut did you use to get 4.3 running on the Pro? I looked at the Android-x86 EFI post and there seems to be a couple on there.

Also have had you boticed any sluggishness when running apps? I'm specifically interested in MCPE to play with my kids, but any info would be great.
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
I got it installed but did not use any of the guides.

I'd already wiped all original partitions from my hard disk.

So I was booting directly from USB stick.

I created an Ubuntu USB stick using the latest nightly of Ubuntu.

Then added an android folder and tossed all the Android 4.3 files into it.

And then modified the grub file using one online method or another. Don't remember which.

I didn't stick with it though because WiFi doesn't work (known issue) and therefore it's useless to me.

So, I can't help with any usage reports. Sorry.

Sony Vaio Flip 14A

I have installed newest version on vaio 14A and almost it is working perfectly . I installed it Sandisk mini usb 16GB .Graphic performance is better than Note 3 ( I have used several benchmark ) . I couldn't installed it on the device's SSD disk . Because it didn't see it . Biggest problem is power consumption and it is very high . Touch screen is very responsive . Auto rotation is not working ( I am using manual rotation) .
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
Okay, Android 4.4 is now "working" on the Surface Pro thanks to this thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/GrPdnpa6XBM

BUT,,,, WiFi is still not working. Bummer.

Anyone know how to get a WiFi driver for the Surface Pro to work in Android? We could always recompile now that this is really the only outstanding issue.
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
I remembered that Android-IA 4.2.2 has working WiFi on the Surface Pro.

But I can't find the source for it, only the install files.

We can try to get the WiFi driver from it for the 4.4.

[Microsoft Surface] danerdXDA:
Rather than trying to extract the driver from the rerede build, why not just use the driver from the official linux kernel (kernel.org) located in drivers\net\wireless\mwifiex. Im a bit of a noob so I don't know how to do this or if it would even work or not.

Also, I tested out the rerede build and it is quite unstable. Wifi/sound doesn't work half the time, freezes after going in standby mode.

[Microsoft Surface] julz:
have you tried this on a surface pro?
[Microsoft Surface] futaris:
Yeah, it works fine on my surface pro (1).
[Microsoft Surface] julz:
Does it work with WiFi?
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
I gave up and sold my Surface Pro.

I contacted the mfg of the WiFi chip in the Surface Pro and they said they had no interest at all in Linux/Android and would not develop a driver.

And even the Linux driver that is out there, has several issues.

And the KitKat developer mentioned in this thread says he has no idea how to get WiFi working on the SurfacePro and was not going to put any effort into it.

I sold the Surface Pro. MS has made it known that they don't like anyone installing Linux variants onto their hardware. They're even pressuring manufacturers like Asus to stop producing dual-boot laptops.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
As MS did not manufacture the wireless chip it is not their fault at all
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
It's their fault when they put pressure on the MFG's to do or not do things.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
that was not the issue I was addressing.

You essentially claimed its microsofts fault linux doesnt work on the surface. It is not. It is the fault of the manufacturer of the wifi chipset for not releasing linux drivers (its not broadcom by any chance is it?)
[Microsoft Surface] CZ Eddie:
Okay dude, whatever you say. lol

I like you how say I'm wrong but don't even know what chipset mfg it is.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
I like how you say you're right but don't even have the ability to distinguish between parts microsoft make and parts 3rd parties make.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] magic132131:
So all of sudden, my rooted S3 is not rooted anymore.

I wanted to use Titanium Backup and it says

"Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Pleasre verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again.

This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command."

and then I tried my other root applications such as Greenify, App Ops and they are all saying my phone isn't rooted anymore.

I don't understand, I never upgraded my phone after I rooted and I never flashed a different rom and kept the Touchwiz Rom.

I used this guide to root my phone originally:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771687

My phone is running 4.3 Android (Same Version I used when Rooted in the first place)

Baseband Version: T999UVUEMJC

Please let me know what to do
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cronoss:
check if supersu is working properly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] magic132131:
It isn't.

The following message pops up:

"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!

If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cronoss:
My suggestion would be to back everything up and re flash root66.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] magic132131:
Would I lose all my data?

In terms of re flash root66, that means simply using Odin and re-rooting my phone like I do the first time right? Would it be the same instructions too?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cronoss:
I'm not sure if you are going to lose your data.. so that's why I said to back everything up, just in case.

And yes.. same method as before from that post.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SoulEater-:
Befoe you flash again. Try uninstalling then installing supersu again
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] magic132131:
I can't uninstall supersu as it gives me no option to do so. I can only uninstall all updates that were applied but not complete remove and then install it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 0m3ga:
I had this happen on my Tmobile Galaxy S3.

I read somewhere else on XDA that you just had to install the latest SuperSU, in zip form, from recovery mode.

I havent posted enough here to be able to post a link, but you can find it on chainfires website.

Then reboot and it should work. :)
[HTC One X+] dmfa200:
Bought this phone off of ebay. HTC One X+ obviously.

Thought I'd get it to play with.

It's a Telus. I am not on Telus I'm on Tmobile

Seller described the issue and I thought I could fix it, but I haven't yet.

Problem is no matter what Rom I put on this phone it reboots when I pull the lockring. After initial reboot it loads up to a black screen and all that shows is the status bar. After a certain amount of time it will reboot again with the same result, and do this non stop until I shut the phone down.

Weird thing is I have the phone unlocked and with TWRP 2.5.0.0. for evitareul installed, but the "development warning" on the splash screen never flashes when the phone boots up.

And the phone does not display TAMPERED either only UNLOCKED.

The only thing I have been able to discover is that if I do a factory reset I can get the lockscreen image to display again, but after reboot back to black screen with only status bar.

Oh yeah right now I have ViperXL+ loaded.

Greatly appreciate anyones help!

Original work found in THIS very important thread [very powerful & useful app: MTK Droid Root & Tools] by xda developer rua1.

also this post by oscarblue48 is very helpful and it has detailed pictures of the steps

Follow these steps on your own responsibility...

How to install CWM Recovery on A3000:

00. Make sure your device is rooted... if not.. install [framroot] from Here and root.

01. Download MTK Droid Tools from Here and extract.

02. Download Drivers from Here [thanks to azam426] OR Here [thanks to rua1] and extract.

03. On your PC > Right click on my computer > Manage > Device Manager [from the list on the left ]

04. Run MTKdroidTools.exe

05. Connect your A3000 to your computer. (Powered ON)

06. Quickly double click the unidentified driver that pops in the Device Manager > update driver > and point to the extracted drivers from step 2

07. On MTKdroidTools > there is a color indicator in the bottom left corner > [if yellow > Press the root button] & [if green > go to the next step].

08. Now click on [root,backup,recovery] > select [to use boot from phone] > click [recovery and boot] the app will start reading your device's original recovery.

09. After a while it will ask you [make cwm recovery automatically] > click [yes]

10. After another while it will ask you [install created recovery to phone] > click [yes]

11. After a third while it will ask you [reboot into recovery] > click [yes]

Congratulations now you have CWM on your device..
[A3000 General] brainbeatuk:
Any idea what the bootpatch.IMG is for I said no to it as wasnt sure

Maybe you didn't get option after make cwm recovery. As I used kingoandroid root

I also tried the delete China option in recovery section. Only found three things to delete but rebooted fine

My A3000 is not recognised by MTK Droid Tools ...

Downloaded drivers v1.2 zip file and extracted.

Downloaded MTK Droid Tools v2.5.3 zip file and extracted.

And, followed exactly, as given in the write up (page 1 of this topic).

A3000 sensed in Device Manager and displayed. 2 Drivers got updated.

However, MTK droid tools is NOT SENSING the device.

It still says "the device isn't revealed. Connect or reconnect a cable" on the bottom most line of the

MTK droid tools window and the small box is blank. The status continues, even after the A3000 is

rebooted or the USB cable is removed and reconnected.

What to do now ?

My A3000 is already a rooted device with Framaroot.

Any guidance ?

installed CWM on my new A3000. :laugh:

Taken a full backup by using CWM and saved it on SD Card.

But, the flip side is that the device is now NOT ROOTED. :confused:

When I run the Root Checker, it says `Sorry ! This deice does not

have proper root access.'

How to get the root back ?

I have tried Framaroot option (like I did it for the first time), but

still no luck in rooting it again.

Any ideas ?
[A3000 General] RAMESHBABU.N:
ROOT restored ...

As I said earlier, after successful installation of CWM Recovery, my A3000 lost it's ROOT.

After a lot of experimentation and uninstalls/installs, I am able to get back the ROOT.

Uninstalled ROM Manager and Super User. Disabled Root Explorer, MobileuncleTools and

another Superuser. Also uninstalled new version of Framaroot and installed an old version.

And, separately installed SuperSU.
