[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch42:
So, I've searched around quite a bit on this, and the only things I could find were on other devices, not even ones in the moto_msm8960 family, either.

As the title states, I'm getting what sounds like a feedback squeal in my ear when I make a call, or receive a call (doesn't matter which). This does not happen every single call, but it does happen most, almost all, of the time (>=95%). As of yet, I can't determine a pattern of any kind, such as people on a particular carrier, within a certain region or location, or even a time of day. When it does happen, however, the other party can hear static over the line, and it has nothing to do with signal (full bars or no, it's consistent with the squealing I hear). The sound decreases phenomenally when I put the phone on speakerphone, I have to put the phone almost right next to my ear to hear it...but the other parties can still hear the static pretty bad. One person told me it "sounds like [I'm] in the rain" it was so bad, and him living in Florida means he's not talking about a light sprinkle ;)

To answer questions I've seen frequently on similar posts for other devices, and to give you an idea of what I've tried; it does not matter if wifi/GPS/bluetooth are activated. One post even mentioned pocket mode, but that did nothing with I toggled it. The sound does not occur when playing music through the speakers, only calls. On that note, I'm going to reiterate that it does not matter if I'm making or taking a call, the sound persists. I can move the phone away from my face during the call, but it doesn't decrease the sound.

UPDATE: When I make a recording, I can indeed hear the "rain" that the person mentioned above, making me think that it might be my mic.

If this is a hardware problem, I can easily replace the microphone. Spare parts are easy to find, and I'm tech savvy enough and even have the proper tools to replace the parts myself. However, if there's even the slightest chance that this is a software problem, I'd rather see what you guys think first.

Thanks for your time!
[General Questions and Answers] vicsvx:
scenario:

So i recently got the M8VZW and wanted to root just to remove bloatware. I followed 2 different methods of rooting both of which have left me, not rooted, however, i was able to unlock the bootloader as well as s-off here. I searched and searched forums and the web for answers to my issues but no clear answer and thus Im here. I did have weaksauce which worked but i soon found there is a permroot so i unistalled both weaksauce and supersu

problem 1 method 1:

the first video was Verizon HTC One M8 Recovery and Permanent ROOT and i followed it to a T. I downloaded the required files (adb and fastboot) on the linked page here and here. I opened up command prompt (windows7 x64) and typed the following commands: adb reboot loader [enter] and the phone boots on bootloader like it should. Type fastboot flash recovery cwm_v6.0.4.8_m8vzw-3.img [enter] and i get a message in command prompt saying unable to open image. Ive checked and doulbe checked the path and file name and all is good but i cant get passed that command. Stuck

problem 2 method 2:

so with my phone still unlocked and s-off, again using this method, i tried using the All-in-one tool kit and got stuck on getting the unlock code from HTCdev. I got the token via command prompt but HTCdev said failed. I figure its because im already unlocked? Anyway i kept pushing on loaded TWRP, phone booted on bootloader liked its suppose to. I rebooted to normal android and then hit 'perm boot' on the tool kit. The phone rebooted and opened TWRP like its suppose to but when i hit install (to install the su.zip file) nothing is there. I get a message saying "unable to mount system"

conclusion:

Seeing that im a noob, im pretty sure i did, or didn't, do something i was supposed to. Could be that I messed up on problem one by not putting the .IMG file in the right place and problem two because i unlocked the phone a different meathod than through the HTCdev site?

Any help would be great. I still can use my phone but now it bugs me that i cant root it and i was so close lol

Thanks in advance

(PS im not too sure where i was supposed to post this so dont bash me for being a noob lol)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] God_JoKeR:
Hi guys,

Recently I just ordered a 7 inch android tablet from an asian website called lazada

It sells a lot of chinese tablet, most of them are not even $40. I bought this one: (unable to post outside links sorry)

7inch NOVA DREAM DUAL CORE HD ANDROID 4.2 TABLET, 8GB, GOLD

It is very smooth, very beautiful and cheap, but I like to mess around with ROMs and unfortunately this tablet has completely no support for it.

Here are the reasons why it is incompatible:

1. No system recovery, when I boot into system recovery, all it can do is factory reset, no "apply update from SD card"

2. Completely unknown by the world. There are no ROMs which is compatible with this tablet, not even CWMR or TWPR.

3. The system treats the internal storage as an SD card.

I was wondering if anybody can create a custom ROM recovery for my tablet, if this requires the model of the board, please tell me how to get it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberzone5:
You can search on google for custom ROM. You can root this tablet. See this thread here. :good:

I just recently got ATT for this phone. I like ATT's signal icons but haven't figured out a way to change them in CM to look that way.

Is it possible? Tried searching here and Google with little results. Also tried some build prop info I found but it didn't work.

Thanks
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treChoy:
Don't think that's possible, mate. AT&T's (and every other carrier's) custom icons aren't implemented in the One's SystemUI.apk , because OnePlus isn't affiliated with any carrier.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C13v3r0n3:
You could pull the icons from a att ROM and just overwrite the ones in your ROMs systemui. Picture files are not compiled so you can just drop em in and go, just use winrar or 7zip to open them and see which files you need to replace.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treChoy:
Won't work unfortunately. The SystemUI.apk is odexed, so theming is impossible.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Espada04:
Here is my problem. I have a Nexus 4 that constantly powers off. And by power off, I mean as soon as the Nexus 4 boots up into the OS, the phone starts the power off sequence.

What I've tried so far was:

- in recovery did a factory reset, wiped both the data and cache partition.

- tried reloading the official nexus 4 firmware. Tried the 4.4.4 and 4.4.3 image

- used fastboot to load up a custom recover only to realize there is no rom on the phone itself to install from so that's out of the question pretty much.

- I tried the adb sideload but the computer doesn't see the nexus 4. the computer however sees the phone when it boots into the OS but the phone starts the shutdown operation as soon as it loads the start screen.

If it's hardware issue, then I guess there's no point in trying to fix it. But if it's only software related I want to at least try to see if it can be saved. lol

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roastmeat:
Well I know this happens when you have 0% battery

maybe your battery isn't charging?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danmen2:
Try booting with your N4 plugged and leave it plugged so 5 minutes, check your battery status and if it's ok unplug it and cross your fingers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Espada04:
I thought about that at first. but according to twrp the battery life was above 70% and can run on battery perfectly fine. The phone doesn't actually belong to me. She gave up trying to fix her problem and got a new phone. I just got curious and want to find out what is causing the issue.

I left the battery charging all of last night just to try it regardless of what the status said. It was hovering at around 70-80% according to TWRP before I plugged it in. It actually made progress today. The phone booted up. So I put in LPV just for the fun of it. The first time it booted up into LPV, it was doing the shut down process as well. Plugged it back into the wall for 5 mins, unplugged it and turned on like normal. Went through the set up process.

Left it sitting there for about an hour. Then decided to shut down the phone and restart it to see if that issue would return. Didn't return until Play Store started doing updates. The phone shut down. Powered it back up and it was fine. lol. Battery life right now is sitting at 78% and battery widget reborn is saying the temperature is 39C. So it coule very well be the battery. But my friend said the guy she brought the phone for repairs supposedly changed the battery. lol. So I don't know.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danmen2:
Yeah, sounds like a possible bad repair. Try another thing, flash a kernel not based on stock, like hell's doctor or hell's core. After 4.4.4 there are several issues like boot loops and shutdowns with kernels based on stock.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Espada04:
Well it's running Android L Preview port so it's not running 4.4.4 based rom. At least to my knowledge. I'm going to see how long this last. I suspect they didn't really replace the battery or it could be an issue on the motherboard side not detecting the proper charge level on the battery? But battery life so far on the phone seems pretty crappy. 13% in the last 45 minutes on airplane mode with wifi on.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] brickbreaker:
Solved!

I used kuma82's themed rom and now my CWM and normal boot isn't inverted! I think that the issue was that CWM wasn't up to date so when I installed various roms it gave me the "meta" error. A ton of thanks to Kuma, Lelus, and that yoda guy. I feel accomplished even though the guides are actually really easy to follow after a day of breaking and fixing my phone.

Thanks! After reading so many posts I feel like friends with this board! Goodbye!

As announced, Chromecast now supports screen mirroring. It only work with select devices, but the Note 3 is one of them.

http://www.androidcentral.com/how-mirror-your-android-screen-chromecast

I have the Chromecast app in my Note 3 (stock ROM 4.3, rooted) and I can see the Chrome devices at my home. I can cast Youtube, etc. HOWEVER, I don't see the option to cast my screen in the Chromecast app. Does it not work with Note 3?

Do you have 4.3 or 4.4.2 on the Note 3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
4.4.2, got the update app and it works great for me, spent more than an hour playing with it before my battery got to low. Hasn't charged it done the morning.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
It's really slow for me. Takes a good 5 seconds for tv to catch up to the phone.

Update: disconnected and re connected. Much better. Half second delay. But finally I don't have to use my awful samsung dongle.

Update 2: Ok now i see why its beta. Its slow again. Too painful to use. Back to my allshare cast dongle.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
Is the native screen casting requires 4.4.2, or will it work with 4.3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
4.4.2 or higher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
Agh, crap. I have 4.3 and have not intention to go to 4.4.2. What exactly 4.4.2 have that won't allow screen mirror on a 4.3? Sometimes I don't understand how Google decided to "obsolete" just 1 prior gen OS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
They didn't obsolete 4.3, they just have added a number of new features in KitKat. The underlying structure needed is not in jellybean. There are a number of fixes and changes included with KitKat.

Most regular users (99%) will get what is pushed to them automatically and won't make the decision you have made.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
Except those who are rooted and don't want to trip KNOX.... you know, like many XDA-ers :D

But in all seriousness, Chromecast works in 4.3 and 4.4.2 and Koushik was even able to do a screencast in 4.3. So I believe it is doable, but the powers to be decided to only allow 4.4.2 to have screen mirroring feature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Kush's app only worked with hardware that supported it pretty much the nexus 5 only and which didn't support the gn3. XDA-ers are not the 99%. There is a lot of new stuff coming that won't even support KitKat coming.

Im rooted and could care less about Knox it is an over blown non-issue, but the mirroring has been a major goal for a very long time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
What I was saying is that the features was disabled by Google, but 4.3 seems to support it off Google has not done so.

Check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193

For KNOX, if you willing to accept the risk, that's your choice. Not me, as I had experienced a situation where my phone have problem and Samsung will not fix it, so almost had a $600 door stopper had Amazon not chimed in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
I did the experimental thing in that link on my 4.4.4 Nexus 7 2012 which is not officially supported. It works, but without any sound. The Note 3 works much better.

Knox is of no use to me as my work's BYOD doesn't support it, uses something else. Will never need to deal with Samsung directly if there are any issues with the phone, due to Insurance and T-mobile support.

Note that Samsung itself is dropping Knox itself in newer phones as Google will be adding a similar security feature themselves so that BYOD can be done securely in a more uniform manner. Knox which was never meant to have anything to do with Warranty of the hardware, only warranty of the Knox security ability for corp BYOD support.

Chromecast App only connects to a chromecast device (FireTV also if you have allcast). Mirroring can work with miracast if your tv supports it. They are not the same thing.

Does anyone know of an alternative to Activesync that allows the direction of sync'ing to be specified.

Our users are struggling with Activesync as deleting a contact from their device also results in the contact being deleted from their Outlook account next time they sync.

A free alternative to activesync if you just want to keep your calendar synchronised is to use Google Calendar in the middle.

Google calendar can be set up to synchronise with Outlook using the Google Calendar Sync software. I then use the freeware version of OggSync to synchronise Google Calendar with my Windows Smartphone.

It works for me!
