[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Monkey Chops:
I'm just making this thread in the hope that this is a fixable problem, so here goes...

If I mute the tablet by lowering the volume until it is off and then play music or a youtube video, or indeed anything else that would normally result in sound through the speakers, I can hear a quiet noise that sounds a little bit like an old 56k modem trying to connect, sort of squelchy chirps and tweets.

I can recreate this every time, so I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if so, did you find a workaround or a fix? I found a thread on another forum where others were having the same problems here:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-pro-8-4-random-noise-coming-out-speaker.html

It's easy to test, just go to youtube via your browser or the android app and play a video that has sound with your volume as low as it'll go.

Thanks! :)

Same problem that became even more persistent when I installed CM11 to my 8.4.

Kind of annoying problem, wonder if there can be a software fix for it...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Monkey Chops:
I'm going to speak to Samsung later, I'll let you know what they say. Hopefully there will be a software fix.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Monkey Chops:
I've spoken to Samsung, they are aware of the fault and are looking into it, but they say that it is a hardware fault and the tablets will need replacing. So back mine goes today for a replacement.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] PewPewK:
Interesting. I guess I'll try to return mine at Best Buy before my 15-day return period is up. Any clue if Best Buy checks to see if the warranty void flag has been tripped or do they generally just accept the return regardless?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Monkey Chops:
I've no idea about Best Buy, sorry bud, I'm from the UK :good: The place I got mine from insist on a reference number from Samsung before they will authorise a return. Fortunately, Samsung were really helpful.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] PewPewK:
I returned mine to Best Buy, (almost) no questions asked. I'll probably wait a while before picking up a replacement. Probably won't get it again until a price drop on the device.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] TwinXM:
I have the same problem, looks like all the Tab Pro 8.4 suffer from it, it only appears when I open an app/game with sound and mute it. Will be best if we all call Samsung and make them to "report" this issue.

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

Open any game, mute the Media sound and listen to the speaker, if you don't hear any noise you are one of the lucky ones ;)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Monkey Chops:
My replacement 8.4 doesn't have the fault, same batch, same retailer. Seems to be luck of the draw.

How long does it take to get the replacement?

My replacement arrives next week but in the mean time I just taped over the speaker grilles... solves the issue completely. It does muffle the sound but I still find it loud enough that I don't notice the muted effect in daily use. Gaffers tape works well - almost no residue, tears perfectly straight, and has a nice fabric feel like hockey tape.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hander13:
Hello, i bought this memory card http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-with-adapter/?capacity=64GB . I'd like to tell me which is the best way to partition this card for Xperia Z1.

Thank you.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegahanggara:
If you used to using Linux PC / Laptop, then best system file is ext4. Since Z1 didn't support NTFS regarding lack of kernel features (hopefully doomlord will add this on next build), then ext4 is the best choice.

But if you using Windows, FAT32 is your choice. But you can't copy a single file which larger than 4 GB (this is the lack of fat32), beside that fat32 can only formating a disk which not bigger than 32gb. In this case, you can create two or more partitions for your 64gb sdcard.

If there's any questions, let me know. Hope this help.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Do not mess up with partitions if you will not use some kind of installations where EXT4 is needed. 64GB SDXC have natively extFAT as primary Partition and its supported by Z1, best choice and performance, also it support more than 4GB per file.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hander13:
I have already format my SDcard, and now i use minitool partition but i cant find extFAT format...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
With what Partition System did you formatted your SD last time? Minitool Home Edition I think do not support exFAT. I remember Windows 7 can do that and it will let you formatting the card in exFAT with 32k cluster size. If you can't try to find an application to do so.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie_C:
Cant this be done via recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegahanggara:
No :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robbie_C:
Ok, just thought I'd ask as I get the option in my recovery. I've never used it but I assumed it would allow you to choose the filesystem to format.

It would be nice though :cowboy:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXFlippyXx:
I'd say you should your xperia take care about formatting:

Aslong as its in your device it shouldn't matter what format the card has. In mtp -mode your xperia acts like a reader/writer. It also updates your file index by this method.

If you're using it as a external SD card you should use whatever suits your os.

Ext4 would be okay since there are open source free writers/readers available for Windows.

Still, any changes need the media scanner to run before your Android recognize the files
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hander13:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegahanggara:
How's the size? Is it 32 GB or 64 GB?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hander13:
64
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
64 is SDXC and you forced the card to use FAT32, now you don't get the best performance from your card. All 32GB, and under, microSDs are SDHC and they use FAT32. I have 64GB SDXC and out of box is exFAT and I insered the card in my Z1 and it recognize exFAT very well. If you formatted the card with a wrong program you can compromise your partition system, that is why the Z1 do not recognize your card anymore after formatting. Try again to get the best from SDXC.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] Goggles2114:
On an attempt to just hit update and go it got stuck in a reboot loop. Attempting a clean install results in network seen but not connecting. Rolling back to 10.1.3.

Edit now it seems no matter what version I try installing networking is hosed. I feel kinda stupid here guys.

I should have left well enough lone. I had installed the 3/8 nightly and it was working great.

Then I saw the 3/8 snapshot and decided to install it.

I have re-installed the 3/8 Nightly and am a happy camper again.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] digixmax:
I updated from 01/18 to the M4 and it has been very stable.

See http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cm-11-m4-post-release-items for important considerations in switching between the two branches snapshot/stable and nightlies of CM11. The blog explains why going from some of the most recent nightlies to M4 might be a downgrade and as such can cause the problems reported above.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] JanSpatschek:
I don't know if I just have bad luck (or a bad device), but I haven't had a single official CM11 build without random reboots and screen flashing / flickering. Anyone else here?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] adwait.bhandari:
You should not flash the m4 if your nightly is newer than 20140308 otherwise you will get FC's.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jeobenauer:
Not true.

M4 was taken from the nightly branch on 2/28. If you have flashed a nightly to your device newer than 2/28, you will be downgrading if you flash M4 afterwards - resulting in unpredictable results.

Based on this thread, the results will be WiFi issues and possible boot issues.

If you want to switch to the monthly builds, do not take anymore nightly builds, and wait until April to take the M5. If you want to stick with the nightly s, then do not flash the monthly's.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] alex9yust:
need to do wipe data/factory reset and not restore the old data. otherwise, "android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly" for me.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] buzz killington:
I guess I got lucky. I dirty flashed m4 over 10.1.3 stable and everything is running perfectly. I wasn't expecting it, but m4 is much speedier than 10.1.3, only downside is battery life seems to be not as good.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] JimJ2Mz:
Beware!

There was a post I found a while back on the official Cyanogemod site that went into details about Nightlies, Milestones, Release Candidates, and Stable Releases. What would be most important for users of CM11 at this time which was explained in the post is that you either stick with updating from nightly to nightly OR milestone to milestone. If you're on a nightly and you update to a milestone snapshot, you risk damaging and messing up the OS. Vice-versa as well and should also apply to RCs and Stables. Nightlies are bleeding edge and have the latest code while a milestone snapshot is more stable, but has older cold. So going from nightly to milestone snapshot would be one heck of a messy downgrade.
