[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zim2704:
For those who own the phone how is the screen in direct sunlight. I work outdoors and hate having to shade the phone to see the screen. I was pretty set on this phone until the article about the s5 having a great screen and has a ridiculously bright screen. I really wasn't thinking about the s5 until that article came out now i'm torn.....really want the build quality, speakers, and lightning fast camera shutter with no hardware home button. On the other hand I really need a screen that can give me the best outdoor performance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] faded03cobra:
I work outside all day and leave the brightness around 50 and can see it fine
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NoFanboy:
I can see completely fine in direct sunlight without the brightness being all the way up. LCD is much better than amoled
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
As the others have said, it's fine. Only catch is don't bother if you're wearing sunglasses, you'll barely be able to see.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] achmedclaus:
If you have ever looked at an LED TV next to an LCD you'll know thats incredibly wrong. If you have a brightly lit room for a room with a lot of sunlight, you basically can't buy LCD. Its the same for phones, my friend has the m8 and i have a gs4, my phone looks 10x better than his outdoors.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sgtmedeiros:
Which is strange considering the one has almost twice the lux of the galaxy s4.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JasonJoel:
I have a gs4 and m8, and I can see the m8 much easier outdoors.

Guess my eyes work differently than yours. *shrug*
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Gamerbuilt1:
M8 vs S4

My daughter seems to think her S4 lacks the brightness in direct sunlight that I have on my M8. Her face was frowning and drooling as she peered into the gorgeous Super LCD3 screen, which seemingly mocked the direct sunlight shining down upon it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tangent_:
Depends on your luck with the device. There appears to be more than one screen manufacturer or something. My wife and I got our M8s at the same time, but while polarized sunglasses are not the slightest problem for me, with her phone the display vanishes in portrait orientation wearing them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evocm7:
I think the m8 is easier to see than my s4. You always have the 30 return policy. I'd get the m8 and if you don't like it return it for the s5

Sent from my S-Off HTC One M8
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JasonJoel:
Yeah, I've looked at 6 different M8s with sun glasses on, some were hard to read and some were not. Which certainly leads one to think that there are different screen manufacturers, or coatings, or something. (most likely different screens though)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmmVid:
Hi! So I just rooted my N5, flashed Franco Kernel, Xposed+Gravity Box. So after this when I'm at the home screen there is an ever so slight lag when I click the recents button or go home from app tray, etc. So basically it kind of lags on the home screen, no widgets or anything. Is this my fault and is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
mess with the settings, find what you like. if youre still unhappy, try a different kernel, or different rom. try a few, find what you enjoy and what fills your needs. then youll be trully happy :)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
They are not Actually "Themes" - they just change the Color of whats displayed when you open certain HTC Apps.

One Color for communication apps such as Mail and Messages

Another color for data-centric apps such as HTC BlinkFeed and Weather

Yet another color for entertainment apps such as Gallery and Music

And of course a color for settings

The colors shown across the top of the "Theme" will be the ones to represent the different Apps.

And if you select the Black one, then of'course all the apps mentioned above will be Black..

O-for-two...<grumble-grumble> :confused::rolleyes::eek::mad::crying:

Upgraded my factory cassette car stereo to a new one with usb port (no bluetooth), thinking I could both stream the phone's audio and charge the battery via usb.

Well, the battery's levels actually decrease when plugged in, and more to the point, the phone isn't recognized in usb mode in the stereo and quickly goes to radio mode and the phone displays the following message (please see attached screenshot)...

...my phone is stock, not rooted. Stereo is not bluetooth-enabled, and I would prefer to stream via usb than the aux port.

-> Can anyone advise any tweaks or apps that would enable the phone's streaming audio to be played via the stereo's USB mode?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbmg:
What kind of car? I used to have problems in my Saab.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 4umexdeeay:
Thanks for the reply.

It's a 4Runner.

Hoping to focus here on how to get the devices to recognize one another...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbmg:
That's weird. Maybe a driver issue with the stereo? Does it have a hard drive? Never used stereo with usb port. I think my wife's suv has one.

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

What stereo is it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 4umexdeeay:
The stereo is very basic, no hd.

Anyone know of any tweaks/downloads I can make to the phone in order to get the audio properly streamed via usb?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Corwinder:
I have a similiar radio. No bluetooth but a usb on the front and an audio input on the front. As I understand it the stereo itself can't access the phone this way. It doesn't have drivers to recognize the Samsung phone. Think about it. you plug your phone into your computer by usb but you have to download and install drivers for the two to work together. Mine from the looks of it has Iphone drivers built in but nothing for android. You can probably plug a thumb drive in loaded with music and it'll play. What I do is use a stereo cable from headphone output on the phone to the audio in on the stereo. If I need to charge it I have the standard car charger for that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] braschlosan:
Youre doing it wrong ;)

The reason the battery is decreasing is the amount of current drawn from the device. Either the radio is not strong enough to supply the right current or the phone is recognizing it as a computer and limiting the draw to 500ma. My rough estimates show that the phone uses closer to 750ma while in use just to run. You can verify how much power it is drawing with this simple application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free

You could try to install a kernel that allows you to override the amount of power drawn from the port. I was the first to request the feature and Ktoonsez was nice enough to implement it into his kernel. Now you can set the AC and Computer USB draw to any amount you like.

Secondly, why did you think you could play audio through USB in the first place? I guess it would be possible if the radio supports MTP but then the phone would be acting more like a USB stick and you would have to choose the files manually on the radio itself.

If you really don't want to use an Aux cable then I suggest buying a bluetooth dongle and connecting it to the rear AUX inputs on the radio. They are relatively cheap and you can install it inside the dash never to be seen again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 4umexdeeay:
This is all really helpful info, thanks :)

Yeah, not sure why I thought I could stream via usb either, must've been mixing up the functions of that and the aux cable.

-> So I'm familiar with a bluetooth dongle that connects via usb (...think that would work properly in a car stereo too?) - but you're recommending a dongle that connects internally? Know where I'd find that for sale?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abovenbeyond:
1st, my assumption is you're rooted...?

If no=Boohoo... Root or buy stereo with Bluetooth.

If yes= install this app... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.samsungusbmassstorageenabler

Open it, grant it root privileges, click the "mass usb" (I think its called), and profit!

*Music must be on external card.

<-- my thank you is over there ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Do you have an auxillary input option on the stereo? 3.5mm jack...

The advantage is that it's guarenteed to work.

The disadvantage is that you can't control the song selection from the stereo. You have to do it from the phone.

Also, could it be there you store the music? If it's on an external SD card I can see where that would fail. Maybe if it was on the internal memory? Remember the car stereo probably isn't real bright. If it doesn't find what it's looking for where it expects to find it, it won't keep looking.

You might have to have it stored in a specificly named directory on the phone too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] braschlosan:
"Internally" meaning it goes inside the dash, behind the radio. Its just a bluetooth receiver with an audio output (either a headphone jack or RCA cables)

If you want listen to music over "USB" you can get certain touch screen radios that will mirror your phones display
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
There is a mod that allows your phone to emulate a usb storage device that would allow you to play music stored on the phone through the stereo you installed, however there would be no controlling any of the sounds, etc via the phone. All the controlling has to come from the stereo itself. Volume, tone, selection, etc. You also need to check the format that the stereo "expects" to see in order for it to be able to function.... Such as Folder size, (files within the folder - how many) How deep the folders are allowed to be set as like in subfolders, etc. What the storage media format is able to be accessed, etc. It gets a little technical and the results are a bit disappointing in the end...

The best I can recommend is a display screen unit that supports using the phone in the USB input. I just installed a Pioneer AVH-X4600BT that works with my (GS4 rooted 4.2.2 Stock ) in my Wife's Subaru Outback. We can plug the phone's USB cable into the stereo (via a Mirrorlink add-on) and run the PHONE using the touch screen of the stereo. You'd be able to run Pandora, answer/make calls, answer/create e-mail and Texting, listen to the music on the phone, watch video that is stored on the phone or DVD's, and most important, NAVIGATION on a 7 inch screen!. All of that though, is dependent on the phone you have. As of yet, the Mirrorlink supports the iPhone, GS3, GS5, and with a hacked app in the phone, it also supports GS4. There is a free app on the market that is called Drivelink which interfaces your phone and the stereo.

You might want to research other stereo devices that have the Mirrorlink application support. I believe Sony has some, but I didn't go past the Pioneer unit. Bottom line, BE SURE TO DO THOROUGH INVESTIGATION ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND THE CONNECTABILITY OF YOUR DEVICES. I know you just bought the unit recently so you just might be having to live with your setup for a while. That's o.k. though, next time you purchase something like that, you will be armed to the gills with knowledge and get something you'll really enjoy.

On my test bench after testing, and was ready to be installed....

Good Luck, and Aloha!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Daistaar:
It's doing that because your phone uses MTP as the Media Transfer Protocol. Basically, it kind of mounts like an MP3 player or camera and the new DIN you installed doesn't know what to do with it. The real trick is to get your phone into UMS, USB Mass Storage mode. There's a UMS app in the play store, BUT you have to be rooted to use it. It basically mounts your phone like a regular old thumb drive. Do that and your new DIN will see it no problem. Only thing is, like a USB drive you'll have to navigate into your folders to play your music. This was what I threw in my car and it's been awesome!

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I bet I know why you thought you could play audio through USB. It's because Apple products can do it. One of the things that drives me nuts is that most cars with USB ports have audio playback support for Apple devices because of Apple's dock interface that let's the docking component control and navigate the audio. Unfortunately (and it drives me crazy) Google hasn't created a similar interface for Android so there are no Android Docks. Android devices like the S4 in your car rely on on AUX to send audio. It really sucks and Google has committed to addressing it this year in the car but I don't know if they're fixing the underlying problem of a uniform audio interface in android; meaning one where you plug in a dock and it recognizes your phone and how to access your music and playlists. Again, Take a look at this if you need a quick fix. I know you were hoping your new stereo would do it, but you could easily hide this:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
The program let's you activate the speakerphone without pressing the GREEN button. It is a Today plugin.

- no-action: this is the default state, there are no automatic tasks to be performed

- auto-answer: this would automatically pickup your calls

- auto-reject: similar to the previous, but it will automatically reject the incomming calls

- toggle-speakerphone: this option enables or disables the speakerphone during a call

It'd be great if one could configure the times the phone rings before automatic pick up. Could you add such a feature?

I'm looking for an easy way to remap my menu button to open recent apps instead. Any suggestions other than xposed because I keep hearing that could break things. Running cleanrom 8.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Just grab xposed. I have never had any issues with xposed or any modules. I think the people that say that they have issues are just not doing things correctly or are using outdated versions. Xposed installer puts an uninstall zip on your SD card anyway that you flash in recovery. That will get you out of a bootloop or whatever else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Xposed breaks certain things from running.

Couple things I've encountered are Final Fantasy games and songza, apps won't even open if the framework is installed.

Those are only a couple things out of a ton of stuff I use, but it certainly causes other issues for some.

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

As far as remapping goes, it should be possible, but I wouldn't know where to start.

I know there are tutorials on how to manually switch buttons, like tell your home button to act like a power button. But I'm not sure if there's an easy way to do what you want it to do.

Xposed is a good option, if it breaks something that you need it's very easy to uninstall. I'd say give that a whirl as it's much easier to customize things. I just can't live with the few things it breaks for me.
