[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You're not gonna get anywhere if you don't read and educate yourself. Plus, the rules of XDA state that a user must search thoroughly before asking for help, so I'm much less inclined to assist someone who is attempting to take the easy way out by just asking instead of searching. I even gave you a specific thread to check out, it doesn't get much easier than that.

Like I said though, if you ever want to unlock the bootloader and root your phone, you do not want to take that update.

Is there a way to get extreme battery saving mode on GPE?

Or does anyone know of an app that performs similar function that will work with the GPE?

Thank you.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] My Beer Belly:
I don't know if anyone has ported that too an installation of some sort onto a GPE device. But you could setup a similar tasker profile to do everything in extreme battery mode. That's basically all it is anyway. You could then put a shortcut on a homescreen that will have tasker run the profile when you want it on.

Otherwise I imagine apps like Juice Defender have a similar mode, but I've heard mixed reviews on those type of apps. I have never used them though so maybe someone with more experience could chime in.

We've tried the 4.4.3 thread a few times already and they did not work due to large amounts of off-topic posts and general bickering. I know we're all excited for the next release (I am too) but these threads typically go bad fast.

When the next OTA, Factory Image, or code drop actually happens, we will allow a 4.4.x thread. Until then, threads like these will be closed.

I was trying to flash the following ROM to my Magician, I did nothing and there was a sudden Reboot in my computer.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/CHT_11106_902_11100.zip

NOW, I don't have any backup .nb1 roms to flash back to my magician. I only have couple of .nbf files extracted from "CHT_11106_902_11100.zip

". AND I got a "cht10606_bigstorage.nb1" - "not sure if it's a complete rom.

The ROMUpgradeUt.exe was able to reach stage 3 of the flashing. If I start the magician now, I can see it stuck at the splash screen; that's it.

I WONDER if there is any extisting rom that I can ntrw.exe back and restore to the state I can apply ROMUpgradeUt.exe.

THANKS ALL

MARTIN :shock: :cry: :shock:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] mrtsnky:
One more question

I first attempted to hack bigstorage by directly ntrw-write the cht10606_bigstorage.nb1 to my 1GB SD (I don't have small SD card).

But I can't get the "Serial V1.00" in the bootloader mode switch to "SD downloading", even I waited for more than hour an hour.

P.S. I can't verify if I successfully ntrw-write the .nb1 file, coz I see nothing inside my SD.

thanks everyone.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] mrtsnky:
Not sure if big / Small discovery

I solved my own problem, after spending hours and hours on the bootloader screen with that "SD Download" Sections = 1 Not Allow Update screen :twisted:

I realized that Using a different bigstorage verison Rom from the original Version Rom to hack/flash into BigStorage CREATES the "Not Allow Update" screen.

It seems to be a limitation for flashing rom by bootloader, in which the flashing-rom has to be the same version the rom within the magician.

So, I THINK, it's not recommanded to flash ANY modified-bigstorage-rom to an existing rom, if u r sure about the verion difference. I think it's better to use Hex editor to do the hack.

Hope this post help many with the same problem.

When you're stuck in bootloader mode, MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe will help you. It's modified original which won't ask about language etc. and most importantly it can be run even in bootloader mode so you can flash it anyway.

Is there a decent keyboard out there that's much like the keyboard Motorola used in 4.1? I can't find an equivalent I really like.

Or, even better, is there an .apk we can pull and use?
[Droid RAZR M General] jrk190:
Download Google Keyboard... It's the same thing. What the Razr used was an AOSP keyboard, which you can get through FDroid. If you like the blue color scheme or don't like Google Keyboard's swiping, you can turn that off.
[Droid RAZR M General] Strife89:
I don't have an issue with the color scheme, and I know I can turn off the swiping. The thing is, I've gotten extremely used to the key size and layout of the JB keyboard, and Google Keyboard (which this OTA's AOSP keyboard appears to match exactly) feels a bit cramped by comparison. It makes a big difference.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
I tried to do a search for headphones over the speaker but didn't come up with anything, so...if a thread like this is already out there please point in right direction and delete then. Alrighty on to the question.

When you plug your earphones into the phone you get to listen to some radio(FM) but you also have the option to play the FM radio over the speaker itself, which is awesome. Now I want to know IF something like that is possible for youtube as well? I can't see anything that can enable me to choose the speaker itself(like with FM radio) and instead forces me to listen to it over the earphones.

Is there an option like that and if so, where? :confused:

Yes, I'm well aware that this might seem like a completely stupid question, but at any given time someone has to be the idiot that asks it:eek: :victory:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
I don't understand why this option would need to exist. Headphones need to be plugged in for FM radio to work because they act as the antenna, which is why you get the option to use the speaker, alternatively. YouTube doesn't need an FM antenna, so just unplug your headphones if you want to use the speakers.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Because the audio is louder... Have you tried to listen to a radio station through FM on the speaker and then go and listen to a stream of it at full volume? Somehow it seems that the volume can go higher with the earphones plugged in than to have it NOT plugged in. Yet...It could perhaps be argued that the stream sounds less loud(regardless of the fact that the volume is maxed out) because it is indeed a stream and it might have some interference.

But if the volume can actually go higher as a result of the earphones being plugged in, why can't we have the option then to have the volume louder if we so choose, by plugging in the earphones and maxing out the volume over the speaker? Like we do with FM...?

I take it though, from your response, that such a thing is not possible? :confused:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
Ahh, I think I'm starting to follow. There are a number of factors that are likely causing this differentiation, none of which have to do with having headphones plugged in.

A radio station's FM broadcast and internet broadcast are processed and compressed in different ways. FM compression is analog, while internet compression is digital, and there are crazy different algorithms, but both come down to fitting the "signal" or "data" into a particular bandwidth.

With FM, a station just throws the signal out in all directions, and while it's technically not comparable, there is less need for compression here, as with the internet broadcast, the more listeners there are, the more taxing it is, thus the digital signal is likely more compressed. This is probably more or less the reason for the discrepancy.

Also the streams could be normalized differently. Or any number of other variables. For all intents and purposes, the FM stream and internet stream are two completely different things.

I hope this helped!

(And no, as far as I know there's no option to do what you want, but even if there were, it wouldn't have the effect you're looking for :P )
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
Why would compression affect volume? It's not like you need more bits to go louder.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
FM audio doesn't have bits, for starters, it's analog radio waves. Functionally, an FM broadcast path is analog to analog to analog, where as a digital broadcast path is closer to "analog to digital to analog."

And from a technical standpoint, yes, more bits *does* equal louder. The more you compress digital audio, the more audio is being removed from the stream. MP3 compression (and probably M4A/AAC) remove the high-end and low-end frequencies:

In a compressionless, raw, audio file, a ton of bits are wasted on sound that is beyond the range of human hearing, and the range that speakers can produce. The point of digital audio compression is to eliminate the functionally "empty" bits, however the more compression there is, the more it starts removing what humans/speakers CAN process. As you approach high compression, mp3s will lose more and more sound, but even with mild compression, you're going to lose the crispness of the highs (like cymbals) and the lows (bass guitars/synths.) This will give it a muddy sound, and as there are less cymbals and bass guitars, the sound is technically quieter. In fact, if you were to compress an mp3 down to like 1Kbps, it's going to mostly sound like static. But I'm not aware of any audio tools that will let you go that low. Online radio stations typically broadcast at 64Kbps or 96Kbps. Which is crap. (Of course I haven't listened to online radio in years, it's probably better by now.) To put it another way, an FM transmission can broadcast at full strength, whether one person is listening or a million. With a digital broadcast, one million listeners will be far more taxing on bandwidth than just one person listening, so it's not cost-effective to broadcast with the same signal quality as FM. Of course FM is subject to radio interference, but that's not selective the way digital is. On FM you'll hear other noises on top of the signal, but as long as your signal is relatively decent, you're not losing much.

Without teaching a course on audio processing, basically:

More processing = more degradation.

More compression = more degradation

Analog is very different than digital for a multitude of reasons that I'm not going into.

EDIT: Also, FM does use compression, but it's a different type. Rather than removing audio based on pitch frequency as digital compression does, it uses dynamic compression, more akin to what a guitarist's compression pedal would do. It makes the quiet noises louder and the loud noises quieter, definitely makes quiet songs louder than if you were listening to an mp3, which doesn't do this type of compression.

ANOTHER EDIT: Unless the topic steers back towards mobile development, I won't indulge this thread anymore. XDA isn't for audio discussions (yes, I know I'm the one who took it off the rails in the first place.) If anyone is still confused as to why FM audio and digital audio sound different, you can PM me. :P

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carlyle_f:
FTP. It works similar to WiFi direct and Bluetooth. 1 device starts a share network using its own WiFi hotspot, the other picks up the hotspot and joins the network. Then you get a browser to share files at good speed.

This does not use your data. If you're worried about it, you can turn off your mobile network and try it.

Hello everybody, I would like to request and even ask something: I am proud owner of S Advance I9070 and currently i am using LightJB_v1.2 ROM with Co-Core v9.8 kernel.
