[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcsush:
Hi All

First up, many thanks for any help and for your time.

I am running CM 11 Nightlies (currently at 20140517) but this issue has been happening ever since I installed CM 11.

I use Apollo for music. The player will play fine for a period (sometimes more than an hour and sometimes just five minutes) and then suddenly the sound will disappear while the player keeps playing. I then have to reboot the phone for the sound to come back as manually shutting the app down does not work.

I don't believe it is an Apollo issue but think it is a sound issue as this happens with Google Music as well as Ginkgo Audio player as well (which I use for audiobooks).

I have already searched the net and the forums but haven't found anything yet.

Would be grateful for any advice.

You're far more likely to get an answer that will help in the CM11 discussion thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
This sounds like an incidence of the well known and thoroughly discussed music bug which is present in EVERY build / version of CM11....some people it affects, some it doesn't..... You either have to live with it until a fix is found, or you revert to a JB based build.......

My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right :):D

Hello! Sorry if my English is not great, it's not my first language.

I have a Prestigio 3400 Duo and I have two issues with my touchscreen, the multitouch function in particular. My phone is freshly factory reset, done while trying to solve this problem, and

The first problem is pretty apparent, when I'm holding two fingers on the screen in a horizontal line it registers only one point at the center of the two I'm actually pressing (that's what a multitouch test app sees, at least). This happens exclusively in an horizontal line.

The second problem I have is when I'm holding two fingers on the screen and I let one go, the other one - the one that's still holding - is not getting registered for an instant before appearing again. So when, say, I'm playing a game on the phone and my character walks and I press a button at the same time, the character stops for a second. Really annoying stuff.

Is there any solution for either of these? I saw some fix for other phones but they're exclusively for those, not mine.
[General Questions and Answers] Ragkhuza:
Maybe it's a hardware problem.

What did you do before it happened?
[General Questions and Answers] gyrozeppeli:
Well I don't know if it was something that I've done that caused this, I don't play many games so I've noticed it only recently. I can tell you that for a while the phone was rooted - now it isn't - but I've never installed CFWs or stuff like that.
[General Questions and Answers] Ragkhuza:
What do you mean by recently the phone was root - now it isn't. Can you explain specifically.
[General Questions and Answers] tchen100:
Try intalling custom rom or reinstalling stock
[General Questions and Answers] gyrozeppeli:
I took off the root thing because I wanted to play a game that doesn't accept rooted phones.

Can you direct me to a good custom rom or how to reinstall stock? I'm not good at these things, I don't know much about it.
[General Questions and Answers] Ragkhuza:
Take a look at this thread --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578187
[General Questions and Answers] gyrozeppeli:
Thank you, but there's no stock rom or a tutorial there, so...
[General Questions and Answers] gyrozeppeli:
I'm bumping the thread, hoping that someone that knows how to fix the problem can see this.

I'd like to at least solve the second problem, because the first one is barely noticeable to me. I basically can't play any game with the second issue because it's really annoying. I read that sometimes these kinds of problems are when you have an app that is used to block the touchscreen of the phone, but I've never used any of those so I don't know.

Hi

I bought my MDA Pro in december 2005, they switched my thing in 3 days because it was faulty ("No GSM"). Great! A month ago i dropped my MDA from 30 inches at the street: some visible bunches but still working oke. Last week i turned the screen and ho! the screen went pure white since then. Told my story and yesterday (after one week) got it back with a new screen under garantee!

Three cheers for T-Mobile NL! NB. I have a unlimited UMTS sub (60 euro/month), maybe that helps.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontjl:
I need help!

My father has been using his HTC Desire for quite some time.

Recently when he receives incoming calls, the ringtone cannot be heard at all. the vibration also suddenly stopped working.

This points to a speaker problem but the strange thing is, when the phone is rebooted, the speaker actually outputs the HTC startup sound and i can hear it.

Also, when i play music, i can hear the music but it is very soft (even at max volume). It was not like this before.

I have checked all settings, the phone's incoming call tone is set to maximum and is not silent.

Is there any method, way, app, software i can use to test the speaker? Is it a corruption problem or an app issue?

I have tried rebooting the phone but to no avail. Thanks!

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MxPhenom 216:
Hello,

New to xda-developer forum, but was hoping I could get some help.

I have a Droid Razr M, that has had the boot loader unlocked, but not rooted anymore, after getting an update prior to kitkat. If I remember correctly I was able to get previous updates with no issues with the boot loader unlocked. Today I heard that kitkat was out for my device, so I went into settings to check for a system update and I was offered to update to 4.4.2 (Kitkat). So I went ahead and did it.

However, the problems lies now that It is stick in a boot loop, with the "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" message that I always got after unlocking it. I noticed after the update the boot was taking a really like time, but then I noticed it would **** off and god right back to that same message. Knew something wasn't right, Itll shut down and reboot the that screen multiple times. I first tried clearing the cache partition. Nothing. Tried resetting/wiping, that also didnt fix it.

Some help would be greatly appreciated here. :)

If you need more information I can try my best.

Thank you!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintgein:
Hello people.

I recently bought an xperia z1. A very nice phone which works really well, except for a few things. Hence this topic.

I experience good battery life and quite fast loading of apps etc, but i notice that scrolling inside some apps goes stuttery and laggy. Something i didn't expect from a phone with this kinda hardware. Ecspecially phonebook, call log and gmail have problems with this, just like facebook for example.

Now the questions.

Is this a thing that will be fixed in a future firmware release? And if i install a custom rom using a something like doomkernel, will this issue be better?

It really bothers me somehow, and i don't mind unlocking the bootloader to fix this issue. But if i'm not sure that it will fix this stutter and lag, i think it might not be worth it getting problems etc with warranty.

Thanks in advance for answering
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Yes, it can be improved. There is not fix on that and no one can said perfectly what is related too. I got some light laggy launcher but i live with that as it do more stuff than the stock one.

So, if you find an application laggy is not the phone, is the application it self which is badly coded and don't working correctly as it should.

I give you an example, I have Virtua Tennis purchased long time ago, V2.0, then updates after updates the game become laggy as hell, what that mean, that mean updates are ment to improve the application but if they are bad coded they will give you laggy issues, I reverted to v2.0.

At the end I don't think a Firmware will solve all this problems but you can be sure, you will get improvements installing Custom Roms or Custom Kernels which are ment to performing your device.

I don't saying it is worth to unlock bootloader, check also the applications which working in background, all the time they are the main reason for laggy phone as they run and eat ram and CPU.

You have to spend time flashing some latest FW and find the most stable combination.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintgein:
Thanks for the quick answer!

And what you're saying about the background apps eating ram and cpu, i was thinking the same thing. I notice the lag is random, sometimes it goes quite fluent and sometimes its like i'm working with a phone that can't handle the os because of low specs. Really weird. Is there any tool that gives detailed insight into these background apps and stuff?

The main thing bothering me is the phone/phonebook/call log app which is delivered from sony itself. It's just text, and even that makes the scrolling in that app very stuttery. While i get updates for apps like album, and the scrolling inside that app goes smooth as silk. Just like scrolling within chrome (although it sometimes hangs for a very short moment).

And btw. rooting and deodexing without unlocking the bootloader, will that help too? I guess there's tools that make better performance too then. Or is working with unlocked bootloader better?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Yes, there is an application which check what application wake up your phone or running when the phone is in sleep or even when it should be off but is not. At the moment I don't remember that application as I never used that one, but I know there is as it was mentioned many times for the same reason and battery drain.

Root your phone will definitely help in many ways as many Applications to check your system need Root access, and also if you find an system app that cause your issues and uninstalling is necessary then Root is needed too. Deodexing can improve the customization as it meant for it but is not for performance, so is just up to you if you want to do it or not. There is no tool which will improve performance on your phone, my personal opinion they are all junk application, like the kind of System cleaner. Android is not Windows.

Rooting and Deodexing can be done without Unlocking Bootloader. Unlocking Bootloader is for flash Custom Kernels only. You still can flash Custom Roms based on Stock Kernels.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintgein:
I'm really thinking of doing that right now. Also because of scrolling cache, which i think might be the cause for the issue i'm having trouble with.

Do you know something about it?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762732
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Not really but that kind of stuff it can not be done without Root, I guess.

Where did you find the information about it?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintgein:
I noticed that custom roms like romaur and ihackers included that mod. Then i looked it up on google and found some articles which said that many apps have a bad way of handling that cache. I also don't have any experience with other firmwares than the unrooted 4.4.2. Hence my question.

Now i'm also thinking that sony puts alot of effort into optimizing apps for this purpose with new devices, maybe that's why i hear that the 4.2.2 experiences are much better than the newest 4.4.2. But that can also be a bit negative thinking, since i still got hope that future firmwares will make scrolling through call log/phonebook or gmail better.

Although on my old xperia s i noticed the same. With the 4.1 firmware installed, the facebook app scrolled alot better then the with the updates that came after it. Just like stock browser always been the best scroller. Unlike chrome and firefox for example. On my z1 chrome clearly is the best scroller btw, just hangs sometimes. But then it's on long facebook pages etc. Otherwise its very fluent.

No need to unlock bootloader.

Just flash stock 67 firmware as mentioned, root it and get dualrecovery for it and then flash stock based 4.4.2 and Supersu fix with recovery, shut phone down from recovery and flash kernel for it. All this info in general and android dev section. I hope you understand what i meant.

This is technically incorrect information. While one may not officially be able to downgrade (first of all using Odin to flash the mdl tar file will not brick your device, simply reports a failed status) you can still root the device install a custom recovery and flash any of the 4.2.2 ROMs found in the development section.

you can still SIM unlock if you flash a custom 4.2.2 ROM. Also, you can simply flash the MK2 modem through Odin (there is a thread explaining how to SIM unlock on NB4 firmware) and then use the commands from there.

Hi Good Peoples,

My first post here and I hope you will excuse my ignorance please. I am hoping that someone can help me, as I would pull my hair out, if I had the left. :shock:

I have an XDA 11s and I have installed TomTom software. The satellite receiver is a Haicom HI-701 BT (four in one Bluetooth) and I have a number of problems.

When I installed the GPS hardware, in the Bluetooth Services section I installed it as a serial port connection and have the enable service box ticked. Do I need any other boxes here ticked?

The Bluetooth Manager shows the Haicom shortcuts, but it does not connect on start-up. It has to be manually connected. Once it is connected, unfortunately it shows no dataflow, in either direction. I think that is the second problem. :roll:

The Bluetooth flashing light shows that the Bluetooth connection has not been made; what do I need to do to fix that?

When I start the TomTom, it shows that I have no GPS Device (now there is a surprise) and I tried to configure it using the NMEA option with 4800 baud rate. However I then have eight options ranging from infrared through to Bluetooth serial to choose from, and I'm not sure which one I should be using. I mucked around for hours and had working for about one minute, but unfortunately I can not repeat the trick.

Is there anyone out there who could be kind enough to please tell me how to configure the thing please?

The XDAIIs is a BlueAngel - try posting in the correct forum next time.

Make sure that you have selected the "outgoing connection" - not the "incoming connection" when choosing the serial port in TT.

Also turn on BT and manually connect to the GPS first - somethimes I had to do that rather than rely on TT to do it for me.

You asked whether other boxes sould be ticked - what are these - I no longer have a BA and can't remember...

this help me to asisgn my Holox BT-321 to my XDA2 via bluetooth to port Com7

2. I then downloaded "GPSTuner_v5" & GPSmonitor1.1
