[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
There's always the stereo microphone accessory you can get? Surely with that it will blow every other phone away for video? I'm sure for calls it'll be fine.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraKenDK:
Hi there

I just bought the Z2 and everyone I have called or talked to over the phone, has complained that I talk too low :crying:

Right now I'm actually investigating if others had this issue and stumbled over your thread ;) I too had a LG G2 and I changed, because the camera was so bad when taking pictures of people moving or not standing COMPLETELY still etc.

Anyway I haven't found anything yet with Google about the problem, But I do hope it's a software issue and not hardware, because everything else is just so good.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexyIceCream:
because most users tend to pretend the issue doesn't exist if they don't use a particular feature often...i mentioned about the lousy mic and got ignored by everyone :p

For your benefit here's an example of the audio recording abilities for the Z2 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoCAJXDL_9k

To test the mic you really need the worst conditions possible..and there you have it. sounds exactly like my samsung galaxy S1 4 years ago, and possibly the worst among the flagships out there(iphone still has the best audio recording...damn. lol) no idea why sony messed this up. buying the STM10 mic doesn't change the fact that the mic is there to ENHANCE the sound...not cover up a subpar standard feature lol.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraKenDK:
Damit, I didn't saw your early post about the mic. I don't experience it that bad as in the youtube clip, but it's not the best handling of sound. I do hope they or an xda member fixes it in the future. I'm still glad I chose this phone and wouldn't change it for a One M8 or a Galaxy S5...

My Z2 records perfect sound. With all the frequencies apparent and clean.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gork1975:
Any news about terrible sound quality?

Hi.

I record some videos on a festival last week. The sound is absolutely terrible. Especially if there is loud music.

If i see videos from the Festival that are all record with other phones, they sound very good . Even my Xperia ZL makes fantastic sound if i record a video.

So is there any solution for this?

To buy the "Sony STM10 Stereo Microphone" cannot be a solution.

Thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
Not good is it? I find the G3, M8 and almost all Lumia's adjust the levels for better audio where the Z2 does not. So perhaps you are supposed to buy the mic!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
All sony phones have the same problem.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fccr1990:
Mic working great

It's well known that Xperia Z2 has a very sensible high gain microphone because of water isolation. That makes your recordings, specially high decibels recordings such as gigs, sound awful. There is a great solution for this, install niaboc's rom (Existenz 3.1.0) and change the microphone gain to low, that will make you record with great quality.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigo1988:
I made some video recordings at a music festival with my z2. And it was awful. I was abit disappointed. It was all distorted. But then again that's very loud noise at a festival. Although it should be better than it is. Like I say it was all crackly and distorted and can't hear the music properly at all from what I recorded.

Will probably sound and record alot better with the mic accessorie. Though in my opinion, it should be fine without it.

But other videos recorded not at festival sound fine

Hello, last time i was having issues with OTAupdater app, when i try to update it shows me md5 error, i tried searching the thread and requested for help but no luck.! Now i have find a way to fix this problem its very simple :)

You only have to upload your Update to Dev Host and after that dev host automatically tells you the md5 of that zip file, now goto the otaupdater site and sign in now goto add you rom and fill the forum

in the download link just to this

Open your update file (You uploaded in Dev Host) you will get the md5 of the zip and the download link button. Just click on Download button and Cancel the download You just need the direct URL to your ZIP so copy that download link and paste it in Form ;)

for MD5 fill it with the md5 that dev host shows you!

See the Pic Below:

Dont forget to thanks if worked! :)

i have a s4 SGH-I337M and i was wondering if kies is still safe to use when upgrading stock firmware? i have already rooted and installed TWRP and i am currently running stock koodo 4.3. also will kies unroot my phone if i use it to upgrade the traditional way?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Homage:
Well. I went for a leap of faith. After backing up my phone with TWRP I decided to use Kies to update my phone with no issues. Now I'm at 4.4.2 with out root. Dose anyone know how to root and install TWRP on the baseband I337MVLUEMK6? Or to downgrade to 4.3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] norbarb:
Did you try to root with Kingo root and install TWRP as usual ? I don't know much about Canadian version of S4 but I think you can downgrade using odin.
[Sony Xperia C] khashayar_khk:
Look what they send me after I send them an email in subject of give an update or at least a unlock bootloader to Sony xperia c:

We value the importance of your concern.

In response to your query we would like to inform you that you cannot root your handset because there is no such policy available for rooting of the handset and Sony does not support rooting the handset. If you will root your device in that case our handset will not be considered under warranty.

Sony just shame on you
[Sony Xperia C] TacoNikky:
WTF Sony! It seems like they don't know the difference between rooting and unlocking bootloader. Shame!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:
Hi all,

I have noticed that my asf is wearing on the right side of the screen because of my thumb/nail is always scrolling on the same spot, if o remove my asf then im naked on the screen so the wear would be less,

I have a galaxy nexus a few years now and the glass doesnt have any. Wear on. It of my scrolling finger ;)

Verstuurd vanaf mijn C6603 met Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
This is why I put a good quality screen protector over the anti shatter film.

Removing the asf increases the risk of the screen, well, shattering when dropped and the Sony logo is on the film and therefore lost when removing it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:
I couldnt care less of the logo hahah as long i know its a sony ;) the thing is... If i put a protector on it now im putting it on a damaged piece so likelwy it wouldend be a nice thing to see ;) hahah

Verstuurd vanaf mijn C6603 met Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:
Btw when i look at the ear piece (speaker) i can see clearly like there are 2 films on top of eachother? Whats that all about 0_o

Verstuurd vanaf mijn C6603 met Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Well, the logo is also a secondary concern to me. It will aid resale value though, I think.

I'm more concerned about the real reason it's on there, which is the anti shatter property.

I got front and back screen protectors included in box anyway, so they went straight on the phone before I even powered it up. :D

Edit - One of the layers that you can see may be the digitiser. I believe that's very thin. I cannot be sure though, as I can only see the asf and screen protector on mine and I'm not 100% certain on how the screen is assembled.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:
Thats just thw thing....im from the netherlands and didnt have any films in my box ahaah and im notnplanning on re selling my phone so thats also a secondary for me ;)

Verstuurd vanaf mijn C6603 met Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon2112:
Well i removed my ASF and i can really recommand to everyone,much smooter,brighter more vibrant screen coulors and very slick front

And if i let my phone fall and breaks the screen so be it,with the film on it it will break to the only differents is that al the piecies aer stil on the phone hahah

hey guys :) i have one serious question, I have desire 500, and his battery life is very poor. only one day with normal usage, i think there would not be any problem placing original desire 601 battery ( BA-S930) to desire 500?

(desire 500 battery BA-S890)

in one way they'r identical.

but maybe there would be some errors or smth like that.

Be aware!

I just update LG keyboard using update from LG. New version is buggy as hell. A lot of FC, blank word suggestion line, theme setting is blank white screen. Clear data and reset didn't help. A lot of trouble.

I didn't experienced any problems or bugs with the update.....it's all fine here.
[G2 General] yiu1213:

[G2 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Got my phone 2 days back updated to latest keyboard and i dont have any problem. Everything is great.
[G2 General] BackDaws:
There's no update for me ?
[G2 General] p.valenta:
Which version you update to? 4.4.23 like on my screenshot?

I have 4.1.18 from stock. Upgrade to 4.4.23 makes a lot of trouble.

What is your current version?

Anyway, I just got KitKat update available. I will check again after moving to KitKat. I suspect this update 4.4.23 is for KitKat (4.4...) and thus breaking JB Keyboard. :(
[G2 General] eddro22:
I got the update like last week and working perfect,
[G2 General] Kiwi_Dude:
No problems here, although I use Google Keyboard... I can't stand the LG one!!!
[G2 General] chaki-:
Yup 4.4.23! I got that for 3 weeks now i even posted a thread about. It was LTE update and the Keyboard. I use it all the time no probs what so ever :)
[G2 General] yyz123:
I see this update but haven't updated.

Are you using the new keyboard with 4.4 KitKat or Jellybean? :confused:
[G2 General] chaki-:
Still JB. I like the stock rom for now. Rooted and with some xposed.
[G2 General] yyz123:
I updated to the new 4.4.23 keyboard but I have not seen any issues yet like what the OP has reported.

One thing that I did feel though is that it feels like the keyboard to actually be worse in the word prediction/correct department.

The update though said that it was supposed to enhance accuracy of input so maybe that's what I'm noticing instead? :confused: :confused: :confused:
[G2 General] chaki-:
I use prediction just for one language. But didn't notice any changes. It works like before.....
[G2 General] fury161:
Mine FC when I have Auto Hide Keys running not sure whose to blame on that one.
[G2 General] p.valenta:
Well, now I'm on KitKat and LG keyboard version is 4.4.28

All works fine so far.

It looks to me that there were problems with applied theme. I use black theme and like I reported, theme related stuff was broken.

Anyway, I glad that nobody else face such problems.
[G2 General] ishma:

Hello,

I purchased a HTC Desire 7060 today in China, Shanghai. As far as my research goes, its an asian version of the HTC One. A bit cheaper though.

Now, since the phone has a "china unicom" tempered firmware on it, i would like to check if its possible to get any kind of customized firmware on it. I was hopeing to get a good and CLEAN firmware on the phone.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction. I already got it done to "unlock" the phone. But am stuck now with finding a Recovery file or something.

Hope for any advise. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] NetMare:
Hi mate,

got the same phone over here. I was on the same thing and my seller did send me an update.zip file... There was an recovery.img and a boot.img in it. I flashed it but now I'm stuck at the white splash screen witch says "only of development purpose... bla..."

Sol if you can find a way to pull recovery.img and boot.img from your phone it would be great because I do not habe any chance yet to get this files...

Maybe you can try online nandroid backup from the playstore?!

I was working on getting international contents to blinkfeed.

Whats your HBOOT version? I'm on 0.31.0000

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mrfirepro:
Following Buzz's installation instuctions I am stuck with these two items.

9. Activate Radio even without Sim in it saying something about no Sim)

15. Flash your original Radio ROM. Do not upgrade the bootloader until you restored an original radio rom.

I think I am just about there with number 15 (with the resource on this site) but can not find anything on #9.

I know a lot of people say that it is already unlocked, but it seems unlocked to a few networks.

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Aristotle:
hi, XDA Execs should be unlocked

Does it ask you to enter the unlock code if u enter another sim?

If it doesn't then it's unlocked as far as i know.

What makes you believe that it's locked to a few netwroks, maybe it's because you're trying to find a non-existent umts signal...

Turning the radio on means turning flight mode off (and for the purposes of unlocking you do that without a sim)

Hope that helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mrfirepro:
I take it the UMTS is another name for 3G. My BT account is a normal non 3G account. Is it a case that I need to alter some of the settings, the networks it lists are...

@VF-UK

@ O2-UK

@ Orange

Is ther anything I should try....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Aristotle:
umm, what happens if you insert a non-o2 sim into your phone?

If it's continually searching for a signal, it might be trying to search for a dodgy 3G/UMTS signal

in which case try going to phone settings, then in the band tab , select GSM instead of auto or wcdma

In the worse case scenario, if/when you flashed the radio 0.00.00, you might have had some problem with your USB (See the unlocking thread)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mrfirepro:
Thanks for all your help.

I think I have now got to the bottom of this. The fact is that BT use the VF network. The phone logs onto this, so I guess this is normal. However the signal strength never gets above 2 bars, is this normal?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] agent003:
As far as i knew BT always used o2????

however....you got to upgrade you radio version after unlock is having probs.....

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] avs333:
Here's a simple app that makes use of the so-called "Slow Talk" Qualcomm feature to slow down the other party's voice during the call.

No idea how they've managed to achieve that, but it _does_ work (I guess it's a kind of fancy resampling/spectrum math in the radio).

It probably may be helpful when the reception is poor, or when you're talking to a foreigner or to an overly fluent person.

The app has no user UI (it has no java code in it), just start it to switch on/off SlowTalk mode each time.

Root is required, absolutely. Nexus 4 checked, I believe that other apq8064/newer snapdragons should do as well.

And yes, it's opensource, see http://avs234.net/temp/slowtalk.tar.gz if you're interested.
