Not trying to bait you, I'm just saying, if you are on Vodafone, Vodafone rep on Vodafone, good chance that the complaints Vodafone hears are from Vodafone customers, your daughter is on Vodafone so you call people on the Vodafone network. There is more in common then the software.

I am assuming you are using normal Viber and Skype. If so, Viber and Skype are voice over IP not gsm!!!!

That's like saying 'tell me how a horse and a car are different, they both get me from a to b'

Gsm and IP work differently. You voice is transferred differently.

well i use the phone for my business , so i have loads of calls coming in from, and i make to land lines and other mobile networks. and when i rang Sony UK and spoke to them about the problem and they told me to do pc companion repair .. and they rang me back a few hours later to see how the "repair" went , even the lady i spoke to at Sony had said she had heard the feedback ! but when i then spoke to phones 4U the lady i spoke to there .. said "sorry sir could you speak up im struggling to hear you " i said to her "exactly " that's why im wanting to return this phone ! . i used my old galaxy s2 on vodafone .. never had these problems with that phone .:(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V4LKyR:
Please relax, this is obviously a SOFTWARE problem. Proof is, that this problem doesn't happen on calls on Skype and Viber. So hardware is just fine. I don't know if you know, but "phone" is an app aswell. So this is a problem with the phone's "Phone" application and most likely will be fixed in next update. There might be some other applications you've installed on your phone which might cause this problem aswell, also consider this.

Don't worry yourself.

causing Echo while talking to other

Hello Sony

I'm using Sony Xperia Z2 and I have a little problem about the phone, I really appreciate it because it has many cool stuff but my friend keep complain that Xperia Z2 suck because

they hear an Echo voice while talking I hope that you can fix it and if you know how please tell me
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strommy1966:
you will need to send it back for "repair" i have this recognized call quality issue too. The other problem is getting the other to hear you too ! they often say "your breaking up ,or they say like your across the other side of the room. at the moment im sending mine back to try and have this fault sorted.

HI guys!I solved this problem ... you have to check noise suppression ...I have another one problem: every person that talks with me:

or hears my voice like it is hoarse or as if I put a hand in front of the speaker . how is it possible???

have you the same problem?

thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strommy1966:
they normally get feed back or cant hear you very well too .. turning off noise suppression wont fix the problem. yes it helps ... but im afraid there are a fair few Z2 out there with this problem. it will need to be returned :(

I am not new to flashing devices or CWM but damn if I cant find a decent walk through on how to get CWM on my Canadian Xoom ICS 4.0.3. Any help would be appreciated. I would like to be able to put CM 11 but I cant find coherent instructions.

Grab the TWRP AIO zip from OP link is in my signature. It has the steps to unlock your boot loader flash a custom recovery (twrp in this case) and that's all you need. Once that is done you can install what ever Rom you choose.

Once you download the AIO zip just extract it and click the RUNME.bat and follow the on-screen instructions

Edit : oops forgot it's not in my Sig anymore just find the TWRP recovery thread in development it's pinned so should be near the top

Is the device completely stock or has it been rooted? If stock have you tried a complete reset? What player are you using to play local content? What Type of local movie file are you trying to play? Try MX player from the play store on a local video and see if it stutters.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porio:
Hi,

I always understood that under MTP mode it was not possible to show hidden files (see [here] for example).

However, I noticed that cyanogenmod does it! It apparently connects my phone in MTP mode and yet the hidden files are there and the mounted device behaves a lot more like an external drive than anything (I say so because I can use folder comparison utilities with it which I couldn't use when on the stock ROM).

How does CM accomplish that? Is there a mod (i.e. Xposed or something similar) that can do the same to the stock ROM? (I'm asking because I'm planning to try the new 4.4.2 stocks)

Thanks!

When sending a message to multiple contacts, I understand that a MMS message is sent. My question involves the contact avatar. When sending to a single person my contacts avatar image shows, when sending to more than one person it is a blank avatar indicating more than one person.

Hangouts and HelloSMS both will stack the contact avatars on top of each other. Is there way to get Handcent to do that? Its the one thing I cannot get to work.

I have attached a screenshot of Handcent and HelloSMS that shows the difference circled in red.

Hello fellow XDA-Developers members!

Recently, I made a blog post(available at r3pwn.github.io) about Google's first-party apps' debugging settings. Afterwards, people asked me to make an automated app to Enable/Disable these settings menus at will.

Well, here you have it:

#DebugAllTheThings

Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.r3pwn.LetMeMakeYouSomeSandwiches

OR

You can grab the apk at the link below:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByQEPHbTVg2RZkhpemdtejhMODA/edit?usp=sharing

For those on Android "L", follow this post to fix any issues.

Changelog and FAQ will be in the second post. :)
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
Changelog:

Current version:

1.2

- Bugs squashed

- On-the-fly changing (no reboot needed, except on android L)

- Adds a check for non-rooted users

- Reports there may be some compatibility issues on Android L

- Added Newsstand Debugging

- First build uploaded to the Play Store!

- Play Store will open in a new Activity, instead of in my app, so as to avoid any confusion

Older versions:

1.1

- Safer SQLite3 check. :D

1.0

- Not yet published to Play Store

- Google Play Store Debugging

- Google Hangouts Debugging

- Google Play Books Debugging

- Google Play Music Debugging

- Added SQLite3 binary check

FAQ:

It says I don't have SQLite3 installed. What do I do?

You should have them installed by default, but in case you don't, you can install them with an app (not made by me). Just search "SQLite Installer for Root" and download the first app listed.

So I did everything, enabled the settings, but where are they?

You can find them in the locations listed below after opening the corresponding app(s):

Google Play Store - Open the slide-out tab. It should be below the Feedback button. It's called "Debug Settings".

Hangouts - Either hit your menu button or tap the Three-dot menu button in the top-right corner. It should be at the bottom of that list. It's called "Debug".

Play Music - Open the standard Settings menu and it should be at the bottom (Just one option about logging, pretty boring).

Play Books - Tap the Three-dot menu button in the top-right corner. It should be at the bottom of that list. It's called "Testing".

Newsstand - Open the standard Settings menu and it should be at the bottom (just one option called "Designer Mode", pretty boring).
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
Updated to version 1.1 for safer SQLite3 checking. :D

Not seeing Hangouts debug menu after rebooting and enabling on L. Thoughts? This is Hangouts v2.1.311.
[Android Apps and Games] nathantaylor:
Thanks for this all, it's a useful utility. This could be a splash perhaps? Haha
[Android Apps and Games] polarbear9711:

[Android Apps and Games] packruler:
Not working in hangouts here either :/ N5 on L
[Android Apps and Games] Minagera:
Yep having the same problem on the N5 with L.
[Android Apps and Games] ktetreault14:

[Android Apps and Games] KyleKatastrophe:
This was after a full reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] packruler:
Yes enabled, rebooted, nothing. Then disabled, reboot, enabled, reboot, still nothing
[Android Apps and Games] Minagera:
Yep multiple reboots with a mixture of wiping cache and data just to check.
[Android Apps and Games] danielblakes:
Just chiming in to echo what everyone is saying - this isn't working in L.

[Android Apps and Games] rovo89:
The Play Store debug settings are nice because you can use "Clear cache and quite" to force a refresh of app updates. I've been using it for a while and also included it in an Xposed module.

Google Calendar

Haven't had any luck getting help with this question, seems like this thread is the right place to ask again. Trying to modify the default appointment time in Calendar to 30 minutes from 60 so the app acts like the web version. Poked around the code and nothing jumped out at me. Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Also, if you have a Nexus 5, check out these color notifications I made. The Nexus colors are up to date, I'll update the Google colors over the holiday.
[Android Apps and Games] xfullmetal17:
Out of curiosity, anyone know what the "Emulate Offers Device" option does in Play Books?

And nicely done, I've been wanting something to get at those hidden menus for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
Hey, sorry, my modem broke and I am using Library wifi to type this post.

To all with Android L issues, I noticed these after uploading the first build and losing my wifi. I added a check for this in the next update. To fix issues with "L" compatibility, follow this guide. It was designed for Nexus 5, but works on my Nexus 7, too. I have version 1.2 built and ready to go (fixes disabling Books Debug bug) and adds more options:

- Bugs squashed

- On-the-fly changing (no reboot needed, except on android L)

- Adds a check for non-rooted users

- Reports there may be some compatibility issues on Android L

- Added Newsstand Debugging

- Will be first build uploaded to the Play Store!

- Play Store will open in a new Activity, instead of in my app, so as to avoid any confusion

Now, you may be asking "Sweet! When can I get my hands on it?!".

As I stated before, I do not have wifi. The new modem is in the mail and should be here either today, tomorrow, or the day after.

I am also continually trying to find more debugging flags. So far, no luck. Some will require Xposed to enable, and I will have MrBIMC create me an Xposed module to manage this.

The second our new modem gets set up, I will be uploading the 1.2 apk and publishing it to Play Store. The reason I can't do it now is because I do all of my building/coding/testing on my Nexus 7, which I didn't bring with me today.

I hope this answers any and all questions.

Also, to those on L, once you activate the PIE-bypass, toggle each option a few times, then the value displayed will be correct.
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
I just uploaded to the Play Store. It will be listed as "#DebugAllTheThings for Root". :)
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
While the application is being processed, I went ahead and uploaded build 1.2. ?

EDIT: Hey, it's up! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.r3pwn.LetMeMakeYouSomeSandwiches
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
If anyone could take a screenshot of this on their phone (not running android L, please) and send it to me via Hangouts, I might include it in the app screenshots.

Please, no icons from third-party apps in the status-bar. :)
[Android Apps and Games] xfullmetal17:
Here ya go. If you need one without the navbar I can do that too.
[Android Apps and Games] HaarisTheBoss:
With Navigation bar or without??
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
Doesn't matter. Maybe one or two more screenshots and I'll be all set. :)
[Android Apps and Games] HaarisTheBoss:
Here you go. Just did both types.
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
Thanks! Those are probably the last two I need. :)

do you have plan to make it open source ?
[Android Apps and Games] IVIanuu:
Please add debug for Google now

[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
Maybe eventually. It's kinda messy, but also relatively easy to understand.

EDIT: The code, that is.
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
There is already an app that does this, but it required a completely different enabling system than what #DebugAllTheThings currently uses.
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
Added more options! I don't have the time to mirror it right now, WiFi still out :(. Wait for it to show up on the Play Store. Someone else can mirror it if they want. :)
[Android Apps and Games] drinfernoo:
I was hoping to jumpstart my Hangouts and Voice merging, by trying to use the Voice prompt from the debug menu, but at least as if the new Hangouts update, it looks like that prompt has been removed.

Any way you know of to get it to come up on purpose anymore? Activating all Butter Bars doesn't work :(
[Android Apps and Games] r3pwn:
I've disassembled the new update and it appears there is no way to "JumpStart" it. There is a value called babel_gv_sms, but as of the last update, it does nothing. Before, it tried to add GV functionality to Hangouts, but didn't work (on my Nexus 7 2013, at least).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WoodenFox21101:
I had to install the 4.3 firmware on my S3 since it got soft-bricked, but it seems that even though I installed the Samsung USB Drivers and installed Odin, my phone won't connect to Odin. I tried using different charging wires and different USB ports, and that doesn't work either. Even my friend's phone, which was an S3 as well, managed to connect to Odin with the same charging wires. Is it something to do with my phone? I need help with this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BobSmith8:
My S3 updated to 4.3 (locked bootloader) and I can't make it connect via USB, it won't connect. I've tried everything, every link I can find, reghacks, drivers (countless installs/etc). I know what I'm doing, I've been using computers longer than a lot of posters here have been alive.

The thing is the device isn't telling the PC what type of Hardware it is, let alone the PC having drivers. I actually think my phone is toast - I'm glad it still charges and you can (if you're not rooted) root via Towelroot without a PC.

Good luck.

Hello guys, do you want to take your android device to a higher level? Go grab this boot animation. This is my all-time favorite boot animation which I am going to share with you. I don’t remember from where I had downloaded this, so sorry for invalid credits. If you are the one then please comment with your link to the post.

FOR HDPI DEVICES (480x854)

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING AND DON'T BLAME ME OR XDA FOR BOOTLOOPS

STEPS:

1.	Download the file from below.

2.	Open root explorer (download from play store).

3.	Go to /system/media and paste the file there.

4.	Extract bootaudio.zip and Copy bootaudio.mp3 to /system/media (check if a file with same name exists there)

Or

Extract PowerOn.zip and copy poweron.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui (check if a file with same name exists there)

5.	Fix the permition of poweron.ogg to rw-r-r

6.	Reboot

7.	Enjoy

TAKE A SECOND TO SAY ‘THANKS’
[Other Tools & General Discussion] SVR:
Animation is beautiful. Working on Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos GT-i9082. ? But there is no sound. Is it because I have copied bootaudio.mp3 & PowerOn.ogg to their respective folders. Will the sound effect work if I remove one file. Suggest me which one to remove!?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Siddhant Naik:
First of all check if you have extracted bootsound.mp3 from bootsound.zip (downloaded file).

For some samsung based roms, delete the poweron.ogg from audio folder and keep the bootaudio.mp3 in system/media/

Did you get the popup while copying the sound?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] SVR:
No didn't get any popup! I'm using Carbon 4.4.4 custom ROM.

well i know there are post on the quality of the calls on this phone ( mainly the other party struggling to hear what you say) . i have finally blown my top ! since i first got this phone back in May, this has been an on and off problem. today i made 4 calls this morning 3 of which saying they were struggling or couldn't hear me ! i was so fed up i rang Sony and did a "repair" with PC companion .. made no difference what so ever ! then it was fantastic, i was on the phone to phones 4U, who i bought the phone from, and the lady said "sorry i cant hear you sir" so the phone is going back. to be repaired . im not holding out a lot of hope that this will fix the problem due to the amount of threads where a fair few people are having this problem. :(:(:rolleyes: seems to be a sub quality microphone on this device
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kmac_thp:
I just had probably my first conversation of any length and not on BT with my gf. She said she couldnt hear me the whole time. I turned off that setting in sound or call menu and that didnt help much. Im disappointed.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParanormalBat:
Try turning off microphone noise suppression in Call Settings. It helps in a few situations.

I have had the exact opposite problem. I couldn't hear the other party (not on speakerphone) but they could hear me crisp and clear.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kmac_thp:
I tried that during my call with the gf, she did say it got better but only marginally. Out of my last few Android phones she said this one sounded horrible, specially compared to the M8 I was about to sell. This is probably a deal breaker for me. How do you make a high end phone that has terrible call quality?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_finity:
I've got the exact same problem with my Z2. The other party cannot hear me when I hold the phone to my ear -- if I turn the call on speaker, everything works fine!

Also, the other party hears a very strong echo of their own voice, but only when the call is not on speaker.

It is absolutely beyond me, how something this simple has gone through the quality checks at Sony. Seriously, a 600€ phone that you can't use to make normal phone calls. Are you serious? :eek:

And yes, I also tried turning off noise cancellation in the call settings, did not help really much...

The fact that it DOES work when using the speaker tells me that it is "just" some software bug that should be fixable (and not a defect microphone).
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strommy1966:
yeah my girlfriend tells me she gets feedback too ! so it DOES seem that this is a regular problem with this phone and its just not my handset ! well the phone is going back .. if its a software issue, then unless Sony update the software it the problem will still be there even if they replace the microphone. i just think that its terrible that expensive so called "flagship" devices can have such basic problems. after all .. its a telephone and your supposed to be able to communicate on a phone ! :rolleyes::rolleyes::mad::mad:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svetliol:
As I wrote on the other topic I tested with Viber and Skype calls and there is no echo so my opinion is this is a software problem. Unfortunately I have no guarantee and I have to wait for some dev's to solve this problem.
