[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antshill:
Thanks so much Leapinlar! I was about to run through your CWM for dummies process to backup my replacement nook to restore to my old one! I just ran out to BestBuy to get another microSD to take of this!

So hopefully this all works well.

Thank you sir!

[EDIT]Thanks for the link to your stock ROM. It worked like a charm and now the unit is ready to go back![/EDIT]
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Korgy:
Yeah microSD cards are cheap these days and they are so handy when flashing roms. I highly recommend keeping one around for any troubleshooting.

I did a reset factory from HBoot and it restarted the phone to locked statue and HBoot is frozen volume and power keys are not responding

the phone only boots to HBoot

if sd card inserted it scans it for files and return back to menu but still keys not working even if sdcard is removed

replaced volume keys and no luck

added PH06IMG.zip to sd card and HBoot reads it and bypass check but stuck at yes or no question cause keys not responding

[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
Yesterday I went to theconcert of Keep Floyding (local Pink Floyd tribute band. btw, they're very, very good) and recorded few songs. Luckily I've tested sound quality during brake and it was terrible!

When I discovered solution for hiss sound, I thought that is going to happen in loud environment as concerts. During the concert I tried to tweak snd_soc_msm_2x and found that deleting 'DEC3 Volume':1:85 and 'DEC4 Volume':1:85 gave me acceptable sound quality. But without deleting 'ADC3 Volume':1:0 and 'ADC4 Volume':1:0, every next records was without sound at all. Of course that make sense.

Today, I continued my investigation and figured out that with deleted four lines mentioned above camcorder will not record sound after phone call. Reboot was only solution. Further investigation showed me that 'DEC3 Volume' or 'DEC4 Volume' doesn't exist in JB snd_soc_msm_2x at all. So I tried to delete those lines completely from snd_soc_msm_2x in CM11. Tested video recording, phone call (even I'm in roaming) and looks like that everything works. Not sure, but even hiss sound during call is gone. Obviously xt92x handles sound differently than other moto_msm8960 devices and we cannot use the same settings.

Looking forward for concert next week with several snd_soc_msm_2x prepared.

Video recorded with 'DEC3 Volume':1:85 and 'DEC4 Volume':1:85

Video recorded without 'DEC3 Volume':1:85 and 'DEC4 Volume':1:85

snd_soc_msm_2x without 'DEC3 Volume'and 'DEC4 Volume'

Disadvantage is that recorded sound is not that loud as with deleted lines. Original snd_soc_msm_2x has several setting for different environment. Maybe devs can add ability to change that in settings.

Please test it. Just replace snd_soc_msm_2x in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/. Any suggestions or better solutions are welcome :)
[RAZR HD General] kabaldan:
No, not at all. DECx volumes are not changed from the default 67 value on any stock moto_msm8960 device, xt92x is nothing special in this regard.

The decimator volume handling was introduced in CM so we could somehow compensate a missing post-processing done for camcorder recordings by the proprietary stock audio HAL.

The goal was to increase the volume of recordings to be closer to stock while using the open source qcom audio HAL.

It just gives us another level of flexibility, so we can use the increased or decreased volume levels for different cases, as needed.

If you'd change the camcorder DECx volumes to 67 from the currently used 85, the effect for the camcorder case would be the same as the removal of all the decimator volume handling from snd_soc_msm_2x that you've done.

The currently used 85 value is indeed open for discussion and can be changed to fit our goals best.
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
Yesterday I spent a lot of time changing, rebooting, testing, etc. Are you sure that effect would be the same with 67 as with deleting? Maybe no value means microphone auto sensitivity. How do you explain that DECx value doesn't exist in JB snd_soc_msm_2x for xt926 at all? Probably because of the proprietary stock audio HAL.

I have just looked into kk snd_soc_msm_2x and DEC3 Volume shows up only once under Camcorder Tx section with value 76. In CM11 shows up 6 times under several sections, some not related to camcorder. That's why I've got silent record after phone call.

I would really appreciate contribution and testing on xt92x devices instead of claiming that xt92x is nothing special in this regard when MICBIAS confirmed that is ;)
[RAZR HD General] kabaldan:
Yes. (Well, the default may actually be 68, not 67, but the difference is negligible.)

No. The microphone sensitivity is controlled by the ADCx Volume directive. The decimator volume changes happen further down in the chain, in the digital domain already.

I've already tried to explain that.

The decimator volumes are not changed from the default (67) in JB stock snd_soc_msm_2x for any moto msm8960 2012 device. Not for xt926, xt925, xt897, xt907, xt905, xt901 nor for mb886.

We've introduced it in CM to be able to increase the recording volume for specific use cases, e.g. camcorder.

The decimator volume handling we've introduced in CM means that DEC3/4 Volume is set to a custom level in every enable sequence of all use cases that make use of decimator 3 or 4 and set to zero in every disable sequence of those use cases.

If you remove the decimator volume initialization in enable sequence for just one specific use case, it's not surprising that you'll get a mute recording when it follows a use case that ended its session by setting DEC3/DEC4 volume to zero in its disable sequence.

What else would you expect?

How has the MICBIAS issue (a Motorola hack in audio HAL to use different use case definitions on different devices - CAP vs. non-CAP - that has been missed by us till you stepped in with your observations) confirmed that xt92x devices are special in regard to a simple decimator volume setting?

You still don't seem to understand how the micbias issue happened. The main reason why we've missed it was the fact that the snd_soc_msm_2x files in stock JB releases by Motorola were identical for all moto-msm8960 devices. It was a hacky unification of builds done by Motorola. Btw., in KitKat release, Motorola removed the hack and snd_soc_msm_2x of xt926 and xt907 KitKat builds now differs in the micbias settings...
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
As I described in the first post, I know that without deleting settings in disable sequence will give mute recordings. I was editing file in the middle of the concert.

First you claim that DECx volumes are not changed from the default (67) in JB stock for any moto devices although I gave you a link to stock file without that at all. Then you wrote that the decimator volume handling is introduced in CM. What's then correct at the end?

When I suggested MICBIAS solution it was so hard to convince you that really removes hiss noise although I gave samples the same as now. As far as I know, you don't have xt92x device and you cannot test it and be completely sure.

I really appreciate your and everyone's work and contribution and would be nice if you can appreciate mine.
[RAZR HD General] kabaldan:
There's no contradiction.

You are putting sentences that are in agreement to opposition, using the "although" word.

Sorry, I'm lost. I don't understand why you don't understand.
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
I'm pretty sure, you understand my point but looks like that is pointless for me to continue. Like before, you're pushing settings which work for your kind of the device without testing on another. The same as volumes for different (loud) environment. Now when finally someone (me), trying to contribute and improve settings for xt92x (which I have and can test), is getting to be underestimated and rejected. Completely opposite of the open source community.

Anyway, please don't answer me here anymore.

For others, still interested to test (maybe CWGSM3VO can create flashable zip again?). Please test it and post your suggestions so we can ask maintainers (probably the same guy above :D) of unified rom to incorporate into the next build. There is snd_soc_msm_2x xt92x already, so hopefully shouldn't be big problem.

If no one is interested, well, I'll find optimal solution for myself and enjoy in clear camcorder sound without hiss or distortion :)

P.S.

Of course, I'll share that as I always do.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guyeee:
hi.

i got the htc for about 3-4 months. at beggining it was perfect. good battery and charging FAST AS FCK , but now, it charges SO slow.

im using the original htc cable to charge it, the cable that came with the phone. and plugged in to the wall plug.

if im using the phone while its charging its just not charging and even the battery still goes down WHEN ITS CONNECTED. so for it to charge i need for like 3-4 hours not the touch the phone at ALL.

at the beggining when i got the phone i could be gaming on the phone and still battery whould go up. now even if everything is closed, ONLY whatsapp is open and im on whatsapp the battery keep going down.

all my apps are closed and nothing running.

any solutions for it or what should i do?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GinGeae:
Dear guyeee,

It seems that your problem is related to the HTC charger itself.

I have a suggestion that you probably should replace your HTC charger set, due to

prolonged usage of heavy gpu loading while charging.

I also would recommend that you should not always using your phone to perform heavy task /multi-tasking while charging.

Doing so will shorten the life-span of your HTC battery and damage both your HTC inbuilt battery and charger easily, and worn out or misbehaviour eventually after a couple of months.

They are also many other reasons to cause this behaviour, like

Dropping your charger too often ,or the wire for your HTC charger , etc..

It 's just some advice from me. Based on my observation and some little , minor experience.

Not saying that I'm always right , but I did my best here to help you out.

Lastly, hope you solved your problem soon and your HTC one is back alive as normal. Cheers ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaevil0ne:
I would at least try a different charger to see if problem is the charger or the HTC.

If it also gains charge slowly with an other charger it is likely your HTC.

Are you running any custom ROM?

Have you tried to restore to factory default yet?

Kind regards, Stefan.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathan_Drake:
My charger had that problem too.I tried my Samsung charger(since it also is mini usb) with it and now it charges

[Shield Q&A] dia_naji:
Why is there so much hate towards the Nvidia Shield ? I went to gamestop and see if they have any accessories and the rep replied, why would want to buy accessories ? The Shield is a piece of crap. It's not just the rep but other people have said the same thing. I bought my Shield two days ago and love it.
[Shield Q&A] Solarenemy68:
It does have issue. Wait till the flex cables starts getting bad in another few months. The you can only use it while connected to HDMI. The flex cable is part of the LCD. So when the parts do become available they will be pricey.
[Shield Q&A] dia_naji:
So i bought a device for $200 just so it doesn't work in a few months ?

You might be one of the lucky ones. Seems to be split about 30% bad and 70% ok.
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
Why so much hate towards the iPhone when it first got out? Because it is a new, largely misunderstood product and those who call it crap typically never touched it.

The relevant thing about the SHIELD is that the vast majority of its owners seem to love it. The opinion of uninformed people doesn't matter.

Think also that Gamestop might not be very happy at the idea of a device for which you cannot come and buy games at their stores. ;)

How do you come with that estimate?

If you have a problem with the flexi-cable, this is clearly a hardware defect and you should have your unit RMA'd. The feedback on NVIDIA's service has been very good so far.
[Shield Q&A] Solarenemy68:
Did you not even read any of the post I quoted? Based on the ones saying they have issue and the ones saying they do not it is about the split that I said it was. Also if you had read any of the post you would have seen that I bought the unit on Ebay under the impression it had a power problem which would be an easy fix. it however is not a power problem but a flex cable issue.

So since I bought used on ebay for 40 bucks, sending it in for repair or RMA is not an option. I will just wait till parts become available. Or throw it away and count a 40 dollar lose. No big deal for me unlike those who did spend 200+ on it.
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
Well I have read the posts and my answer was not specifically targeted at you, but first and foremost to the people who spent 200+ on it and specifically to the OP who was worried his unit could stop working after a few months.

It is possible that your unit is a pre-production one that was handed to developers. These are known to be of lesser build quality and had flexi-cable issues. The production units I own since launch do not show this issue so far and I am a quite heavy user.

Just wanted to point out that your estimate of failing units is anything but reliable, so hopefully people won't start making ideas based on it.
[Shield Q&A] nex86:
What's about those from Europe who get the white screen of death and try to RMA it, will Nvidia accept and repair it on warrenty?
[Shield Q&A] suprgamr232:
I'd also have to go with the whole "The only people who hate on it are the ones who have never touched it" reason. I bought my Shield to replace my PSP and my HP Touchpad as an emulation/Android gaming device ~couple months ago and I've yet to regret the purchase. The main reason I didn't buy it when it was announced was because I thought the price was a bit too steep, but now that it's (still) $200 I think it's definitely worth it.
[Shield Q&A] Solarenemy68:
As long as you have proof of purchase from the US or Canada then they must honor the warranty regardless of where you live. What they will do is stick you with shipping cost most likely both ways.
[Shield Q&A] nex86:
I unfortunately do not.

I bought it off a german seller, but maybe I can ask there.

I've been trying to wrap my head around rooting and/or installing CM11 on my SGS2 i9100g for a couple of days. The main problem is that whatever is out there (and in these threads) are confusing for someone just starting.

For example, "First time installing CyanogenMod 11 to your Galaxy SII G" (which means probably this is someone like me, still running stock unrooted, and possibly doesn't have a clue)

I have close to no idea what this all means. I've tried the CM Installer - not available for i9100g. I tried looking up how to backup my nandroid, just in case: CWR and TWRP - but neither have recoveries for i9100g. I've been trying to maybe even be risky and just install CM11, but I'm even having trouble with that. I've tried looking up stuff on Google, only to learn that i9100g is totally different than i9100.

Can someone point me in the right direction, please?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtDubKing:
Tried the official guide yet?

Have you tried following the official guide from the cyanogenmod team How to install CyanogenMod on the I9100g??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
This is getting to be a commonly asked question these days... and tbh a little reading/searching WOULD have answered it for you....

The version of CWM you are trying to flash CM11 with is wrong......

KitKat based roms need CWM 6.0.4.5 or newer......

The CWM I used to flash to KK was 6.0.4.7 and was linked to in the thread where I got the ROM......

So as I said, a little reading would have answered this for you.....

My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right :):D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oroboros74:
You're absolutely right about reading, but the problem is the information is never all in one place!

That is why I wanted to create a thread like this on: where an absolute beginner might find all the relevant and up to date information in one place rather than having to weed through pages of threads, downloading wrong CWM versions or whatever just to find out it's the wrong version.

In my case, first I learned that I even needed CWM. Ok, (and not to mention figuring out what it is). Then I try to find the version I find compatible with my device. Ok. Then I read somewhere to use Odin to flash it. Done. Then somewhere I else I read not to use Odin, and to flash it via recovery. So I have to figure out how to do that next. Only after some 5-6 more steps do I learn from someone like yourself that the version I'm trying to use is wrong. All the relevant information is so fragmented online, hence the necessity to make things easier for absolute beginners (which would also avoid questions and answers like the ones in this thread).

I don't think the problem for a lot of beginners is not reading, but not knowing where to find what they're supposed to read. I hope you see my point...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Sorry, but you're wrong. That is absolutely the problem for 99% of people who come here. They can't be bothered searching/reading & learning 'under their own steam' (so they understand things in their own way, rather than be fed a bunch of steps by someone else they don't understand). People seem to have this attitude that modding your phone without learning first is easy & risk free. It isn't. I've seen thousands of people on here like this end up with busted (permanently/requiring a lot of money to fix in many cases) phones over the past 2.5 yrs. And these people then cry they don't have a working phone. And it's almost always their own fault.

We already have countless guides/stickies/etc on here made by people with the idea that others will refer to these rather than post the same questions over & over & over. These are easily found with a minimum of effort. Just as the answers to random questions not necessarily covered in detail in these threads are easily found with a minimum of effort. Unique questions stopped being asked here a few months after this phone was released, every question that gets asked here has already been asked & answered many many times.

And guess what ?

People still post the same questions over & over & over. Why ? Because they're either lazy & 'want it now' (as opposed to taking the time to learn for themselves) or because they're unable to do something as basic as an effective internet search.

BTW, I'm not necessarily saying you're one of these people, I'm just telling you how things are around here based on my experiences, and I'd be very surprised if anyone who has been here for any reasonable amount of time offers an opposing view with regard to this.

So...By all means, create your 'thread like this one: where an absolute beginner might find all the relevant and up to date information in one place', but understand we already have dozens and dozens of these, and yours will end up like the rest; ignored by 99% of people who come here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oroboros74:
So, for the most part I started off with not even a clear idea of what the difference between rooting and flashing a ROM was, and I was able to finally install CM11 - but it took me days with dozens of various errors and such. But I did it.

I'm a firm believer of documenting for myself and if useful also for others, so I have written a small beginner's guide... written by a successful (?) beginner.

The only problem is I'd love for someone who's not a beginner to look it over to make sure it is in fact 100% correct before I post it - If there are errors, I don't want others to rely on that information. If I post it here, would you think you'd be able to give your input?
