[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techguy18:
Noticed very erratic behavior on the Nexus 5 :

The phone automatically shuts down.. tries to restart and reboots once it reaches the Google logo. It then continues in a reboot loop.

It got out of the reboot loop, but now it's completely dead. No charge indicator. Won't start at all. Cannot even get into the recovery.

Happened once before. Same issue: reboot loop + dead phone but it started working after a while.

What should I do? The battery was charged when it died.

Also, before it died, whenever I pressed the power button to turn off the screen, the screen went off, but then came on automatically again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KashMiester:
I'm currently experiencing the same problem, my Nexus 5 is apparently has a stuck power button, it'll power up and off again constantly and attempting to go into the bootloadeer wont help as the power button being stuck it starts up immediatly i cannot change the option quick enough to go into recovery mode.

I'm thinking the only option here is to send it back to Google and have it swapped or repaired.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] supernoman:
I'm trying to get my unused Sprint GS4 onto T-Mobile. I have done the SIM Unlock and on a slightly modified Sprint MF9 Rom. What is the simplest way to get it to work well with T-Mobile?

I've seen GPE ROMS for Sprint and T-Mobile. Can I just flash T-Mobile GPE rom and be done? Also, can I upgrade to the latest baseband?

Thanks.
[LG G Pro 2] rowihel2012:
hello is lg pro 2 great? and better the htc one max ?

i wanna replace my one max with it

what do you recommend to me?
[LG G Pro 2] musicmadmac:
It's a difficult one here as I have had two HTC One Max's, they were fantastic even though the spec is lower than the LG G Pro 2 it performed really well with the HTC Sense UI, the sound was great and the fingerprint reader was good too. I like to try different phones so I sold one on and the other was destroyed by HTC's repair company Regenersis. I bought the 16gb D838 LG G Pro 2 first but didnt like the lag between the device and the Micro SD card, it was the top San Disk card one too. I went for the 32gb which is now £60 cheaper than when I bought it, if you're happy with the HTC One Max with the Sense 6 update I wouldn't bother but if you fancy a change you get a lot of phone for your money. Hope this helps.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] lvlonkey:
All previous generations of the galaxy phones I have had have terrible audio recording performance in loud environments like at a concert. I know the iphones are great at recording at concerts etc because it will actually adjust audio gain automatically. Has samsung finally fixed this? I currently have an s4 and I'm wondering if I want to get the s5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
My phone doesn't record any sounds more than about 2 feet away. It's insanely annoying. I have no idea if this is a hardware problem or not, but I really don't feel like doing a warranty exchange for a refurb. To answer your question, the only phones that i've found to be really good in recording video are the HTC one (both m7 and m8) and Nokia Lumias. Nothing else comes close IMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] lvlonkey:
That is very unfortunate. I was hoping this issue would be resolved by now. I've had a Galaxy phone since the second one and they all have been terrible for recording in loud environments. My girlfriend's iphone does great and I think I've seen someone mention that the G3 doesn't have this issue either. I've been on the fence about a G3 or the S5. Hopefully some other users can chime in with their experience with the S5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Don't just go by my phone. As I said, it's probably a hardware problem, but I don't want to exchange it since I'll be jumping soon anyway and don't want to deal with refurbs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
It wasn't clear whether you were looking for an audio app or a video app that has good audio performance as well. I'm sure that both exist, but I'll concentrate on the S5 audio since I rarely use the S5 for video myself.

Most android audio recording apps aim for ease of use. And as you've observed with decidedly mediocre performance. But the S5 is capable of results every bit the equal of IOS if you are careful in your selection of apps. The native UI still doesn't provide for auto gain, but you can add this capability with a recording app such as RecForge Pro.

The S5 has a secondary, noise canceling mic that can be set to operate in a directional pattern with good results. Better still would be using a higher quality, external directional mic, typically connected through the TRRS jack.

For the overachieving recording engineer, the ultimate approach is to use an outboard USB interface e.g. a Focusrite Forte or 2i2, with outboard ADC and preamps. This is a vast improvement over the dismal S5 ADC. The Forte for example has 192 Khz, 24 bit ADC conversion as well as decent mic preamps and XLR as well as TRS inputs.

An app like Audio Evolution Pro supports the USB interface and offers comprehensive soundboard controls e.g. level /EQ /mixing, et cetera as well as a non destructive, non linear editing suite.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
The fact that you can do this is great, but I'm sure the OP just wanted to use the phone to record...no external mics or anything. For that the S5 is pretty poor IMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
No doubt. The key point to the OP is probably the confirmation that the S5 can equal an iPhone with the internal mics and a good app. You may not think that a high level, but he cited Apple and it was a relevant comparison for him.

The rest was added incentive if he happened to be an audiophile. Or alternately may be of interest to others who read the thread.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] lvlonkey:
That is fantastic that is is capable of doing that. However, I am more focused on the video recording aspect and how the audio sounds in videos that are recorded from the S5. I know there are apps capable of controlling audio gain while recording, but I don't think I've found something suitable for controlling audio gain while recording video. Being able to record HD video in a concert is great, but it gets ruined when the audio is terrible. I have been looking for a suitable solution for my S4 but so far the closest thing is manually adjusting the gain values in certain files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
A search shows a number of threads on the subject. One of the guys doing HQ mods to the stock camera implied that he would do what you want if he knew how. I don't know if there is a flag to toggle, or API to adjust, the audio AGC. Other than the dozen or so people that have posted on the subject, there is little apparent interest in video audio quality.

Note that it isn't that AGC is missing, it's that it is insanely aggressive and doesn't cope well with loud environments. We also see a handful of reports to the contrary, saying that the S5 handles concert SPL's just fine e.g. here.

Based on some quick tests, I'm skeptical about that claim. At least with the internal mikes. I set up a 95 dbC source (Magneplanar 1.7 @ 3 m, 95 dbC, slow weighted average) and the S5 didn't cope well at all with the internal mikes.

However it worked fine with external mikes where it appears that the AGC is disabled.

I am trying to install CWM on my HTC desire 601 from rogers canada

As per instruction from this website

http://www.thetechbulletin.com/how-to-root-htc-desire-601-and-install-cwm-recovery-3281/

I tried this method

Rooting requirements

Fully charge your device, before following the process it should be charged at least 70%.

Enable USB debugging mode on your device, go to Settings->Applications-> Development-> USB debugging mode.

Unlock bootloader from here HTCdev.

Download Recovery package [mandatory]

Download ADB

Download SuperSU

How to root HTC Desire 601 and install CWM recovery

Switch of your device after downloading all the files from the above link to your computer.

Press Volume Down + Power button for few seconds, here you will see options called fastboot, using volume key select this option.

Now you need to connect your device to your PC using USB cable.

Now extract the ADB file and save it on your desktop

Copy the recovery package you have downloaded to the folder where you have extracted the ABD file.

Now open the command prompt there from that folder, press Shift+Right Click and choose the option ‘open command prompt here‘ and write the following command.

fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.08.7-zara.img

This will install CWM recovery on your device. After completion of the process just reboot it.

Now again connect your device to your PC and transfer the SuperSU zip file to your device’s SD card.

Now Turn off your device and boot into recovery mode, to do so Volume Down+Power Button and this time select recovery using volume rocker Key.

In recovery mode you will see several option, select ‘install zip from SD card‘ and browse the file you just copied into your device’s SD card and hit enter to begin the rooting process.

If you want to flash a custom ROM or downgrade from stock JB to ICS, you'll need an unlocked bootloader.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] stevey500:
I have my Galaxy S4 here at work trying to sync some files through USB on windows7 machines using mtp.

(First off, my phone is bootloader unlocked running CM11, latest M8 release)

I have used my phone with these computers on several other occasions before and worked perfectly.

Today, I plugged my phone in and got a USB Device Not Recognized (code 43) error. I checked to make sure I had MTP enabled (Settings>Storage>menu>USB connection) and everything looked good. I disabled and re-enabled MTP.

I disabled USB debugging and re-enabled it. No go. Tried several different USB jacks and different computers. I figured it had to be my USB cable, tried a different one and the exact same result, Error code 43.

I then rebooted into recovery and went mounted mass storage mode, still error code 43. Rebooted to Download mode to see if bootloader driver is detected, nothing, unrecognized error 43.

I removed the battery, held the pwr button for several seconds, tried again, nope. Error 43 throughout.

USB jack LOOKS clean as far as I can tell. I dug a bit of pocket-lint out of the jack, still error 43.

I then tried my cheapo OTG cable to see if USB host mode works, plugged in an optical mouse. BOOM, mouse works perfectly on my phone, no problem.

I figure that USB OTG uses the same +/- data pins as regular USB mode. What's the deal here?

I'm going to try to brush the USB jack out tonight with a dab of rubbing alcohol and an old toothbrush and see what happens.
