[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rhetorician:
Hi guys,

I'd like to convert some of my application-specific podcasts into more accessible audio formats that can ultimately be played from my PC or other media devices. For example, I have podcasts download from the ESPN application (and Tune-In Radio, etc.) that are compressed or otherwise protected, I believe, in the corresponding data/data files. How might one go about this project? Are they stored via SQlight?

To be sure, I simply want to access my podcasts by converting the audio into mp4 or even .wav, but I don't know where/how to begin. If you could, please briefly outline an effective approach (I'll Google or research anything that may be technical or too much of a pain to explain in a reply).

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rhetorician:
Bumping this up, folks. How might one unpack the protected audio that lives in a specific application data file? I don't aim to redistribute protected content; rather I wish to access my audio files, specifically podcasts, across my home media platforms.

Additionally, I'm a teacher and I'd like to play academic podcasts for my students to supplement class texts.

Thanks again!

I'm getting the sense that my question is obvious or otherwise stupid. If so, will someone kindly (or not so kindly) straighten me out? I have thick skin so, please, lay it on me :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daneurysm:
Okay. First of all, audio conversion is a relatively simple topic. There are many finer points to it, but, for most consumer uses it's pretty straight forward stuff. So, it seems as if you are leaving hints of details but not getting into the nitty gritty.

I'm an audio engineer and long-time geek (20+ years at both), I'll surely be able to help you. I just need to know WTF you are talking about. Audio conversion is simple, especially if high-end precision isn't a concern (and it doesn't seem like it is).

So, what can you tell us about this audio that you want to convert? What is the native format? Are you trying to unlock or unprotect something? What is your input?

Lay it out one step at a time. (Honestly, your posts were a bit confusing...even for an expert...and I want to help)

1) the bootloader unlock allowed :no?

i have managed to root but i wanted to in stall custom roms.

2) if i cannot unlock does that mean i cannot install zips or install a custom recovery?

3) is there anyway to sim unlock the phone to all networks

Xperia u - ST25i

thank you for your help
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
2) Of course you can but just ROMs and Mods for locked Bootloaders. The thing you can't do is for example flashing a custom kernel to install KitKat, Jelly Bean or other Android Version above 4.0 :)

3)yes there is own. Ask your provider for that. He can give you proper informations. But as far as I know it's pretty expensive to unlock the SIM Lock. Telekom in Germany wants 100€ for that..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Passportpowell:
2) yeah I managed to root and custom recovery. Apparently I'm not allowed to unlock my boot loader so I'm stuck on 6.1.1.B.1.54 :/

Is there a list of ICS locked boot loader ROMs?

3) Wowsers.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersahtout:
I have an AT&T Captivate, I successfully installed ICS ROM using internal SD card method, but then I decided to go back to GB through a backup that I made before I install ICS, when I tried to restore a backup using CMW recovery, some kind of error appeared after I have formatted the phone.

after I restart the phone it seems that there's no rom installed and the phone won't start I can't even get to the recovery mode the screen becomes white and the phone get very hot but nothing else.

I tried to get a new software using odin but then I remembered that I used to have a usb issue the usb port wasn't welded in place in the right way so the phone was charging but not recognized by the computer so I think the power legs are welded correctly but the data legs aren't.

I took the phone to a person who can make this welding good but then he told me that one of the usb welding pads on the motherboard are missing and that he can't weld it and he need something like a blueprint or a map for the board to but a wire instead of that missing pad.

so I'm asking, is there any way to install a software that doesn't need a USB connection and if not is there a place where I can find this map for the motherboard??????

plzzzz help guys
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
I once had my Cappy seemingly hard bricked, black screen and nothing else. I was able to use one of the alternate methods of getting into Download / Recovery Modes to reflash the phone. See -- Captivate - PC Connection Issues, Download Mode and Recovery Mode Help I used one of the methods where I pulled the battery, and then held a button combo while I replaced the battery.

It sounds like you have a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP. If so, you may be able to put a ROM on the external_SD using your PC. Once you have done so put the microSD back in the phone and see if you can flash from recovery.

Good evening all,

Has anybody in the UK had success in connecting their Chromecast to A SkyHub? I have tried several times, but I cannot connect it, I have had to use my old trusted Belkin to do this...

Thanks

Hey Matt, got one of these myself a few days ago. Managed to get it connected and set up via my Sky Hub (newish white one), but then couldn't get anything to cast properly and it kept freezing up and becoming unresponsive. Have sent it back as faulty and got a replacement on the way, so will see if it was just the unit.

What problems did you have and did you ever manage to resolve them?

[Moto X Q&A] stephenkostos:
Kinda interesting story, I will start with the prerequs....

I do not have a developer edition, I have a vzw moto x

was rooted on 4.4

gained wp off

I downloaded the formal OTA yesterday and let it try to upgrade, hoping to maintain root. When It finished the DL, the phone reset and skipped over recovery installation.. The phone booted back up and then found service, would receive a text or two then power off and repeat.

I hoped to find a way to get the update to continue and finish to no avail. Finally I decided to bite the bullet since I was still on 4.4, I used RSD Lite to flash back to 4.2.2.

So Here is what I am wondering. All root methods I have seen include the download of the OTA on the device, is there anyway to root now the the OTA download would be 4.4.2 and sideload 4.4 instead or something?... I understand I have no option for custom recovery but just a term(sideload) to let the reader know what I am looking for.

I have enough familiarity with ADB etc. but this seems a bit over my head. If not I am obviously going to have to just upgrade with the ota and be on 4.4.2 but before I did that I wanted to see if I could just get rooted and back on 4.4.

Lemme know guys I would really appreciate it. :good:
[Moto X Q&A] stephenkostos:
Awesome Sir!!!! Thank You for the quick response!
[Moto X Q&A] stephenkostos:

downgrade always possible but there are problems

I've had my Razr M for about a year and a half, and pretty much no problems, but the last few weeks my battery has been all over the place. For example:

It's been doing this quite a bit, and that whole time it was at 1% I was using it normally. If I reboot the phone it usually drops about 20% of its battery, and then eventually gets to 1% and keeps working.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ra3ul:
Hi, I´m looking for a little help!

I have the xZ1 and really happy with it, bought it unlocked from Sony Mexico, and so far haven´t had any issues at all, all I can say is great phone!

However, with the compact comming out in 3 weeks, in the same plan i already have (In Mexico), I can get it for free, by renewing my contract, and I could sell the Z1, already have a couple of offers for it.

My question is, I know specwise is pretty much the same, but am I gonna miss anything by switching to the compact? The only thing I´m looking for, is to be able to stick it my jeans pocket, which I haven´t been able so far with the Z1...

That´s the only reason, I don´t watch movies at all, I do very little youtube, and when at home, I just stream to my TV, do a lot of emails, and reading, not a lot of web browsing, heavy gaming...so for my every day use, I know I don't have a problem for the smaller screen.

Any comments or suggestions would be, greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hom.hom:
What you are stating is a lack of RAM not processing power... And no nowadays there is still not that much wrong with a dual core. Android just isn't properly optimized to use all of its cores at the same time > that doesn't mean that it doesn't use all of its cores when it needs to to be powerful enough. But that means that, for example, when the load is 50% it is better for both cores to run on ~25% then one to be inactive and the other on 50%. Of course the single threaded performance of newer cores (A53 etc.) has increased, but that wasn't question ;)

Phones are just like laptops, only more power constraint...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drulo222:
I know this case. Android closes apps with OOM and Memory Killer (something like that). Some apps could use to stay longer resident in the ram. The dificulty is that, for example, you could leave comfortably 10 tabs open in the browser, but if they use CPU power (even above 0.1%), the os will close the entire app. So no matter how much ram or cpu power you have, the power management will kick in?

[General Questions and Answers] fmg108:
Hi, I just bought a cube talk 5h, but I don't have either 2G or 3G connection. All the rest seems to work OK. Somehow it knows that the sim card is there because it is possible to access the SIM section in the "settings", but does not ask for pin and at some point endlessly tries to access sim details without getting it. Impossible to make phone calls or 3g connection, of course. I did "factory data reset" and "update system" but did not work. I tried to reinstall the firmware, so I downloaded the file A5300_V1.03_20130927.zip, uncompressed and painfully tried to decode the Chinese instructions, but when I tried to run the "Flash_tool.exe" file it does not work on my windows 8 laptop, gives the annoying error "access violation at address xxxx in module flash_tool.exe etc...".

So the questions are: 1) Is there anything else I could do to recover 2G and 3G network connection? 2) Could the problem be in the firmware? 3) If so, is there any simple way to reinstall it without using this Flash_tool.exe software? 4) If not how can I make this software run in my computer? Sorry for all these questions but I fell out of solutions, and I never before installed any firmware, so don't even know the basics...

Thank for any help in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] fmg108:
Solved!

Hi, I solved my problem, and I'll just put here the info to whom it may be of interest. In fact 2 problems occurred:

1) In my Cube Talk 5h (I don't know if it also happens with other Chinese manufacturers), the SIM card was not recognized until I removed the pin with another phone. Once the pin was removed (really removed and not only put to 0000!), I finally had 2G connection, but not 3G. If within the Cube I try to put again the pin, it will not be recognized anymore, so I guess there is no way to use a pin on this phone...

2) At that point I had 2G but not 3G, because the APN was not correctly set up, so I had to manually do it, and finally everything was OK.
