[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustLok:
I can tell you I've NEVER gotten any hissing sounds when charging any of my phones, or my wife's phones, whatsoever, over the years. Even charging them from a near empty status AND using them at the same time.

One time last year, I got a hissing/crackling sound when charging my Note 3 and it turned out our kitten had chewed a portion of the cable, right through the sheathing and exposed some of the wires. The cable was shorting out a bit and creating that hissing/crackling sound.

I would try and see if you can replicate the hissing sound when using another charger and/or cable, to narrow down whether it's the charger, cable or phone.

Hissing from the charger block could indicate a defect in the stepdown transformer or a short in the charging cable. Hissing from the phone could indicate a charging port problem. Hissing from the battery could indicate a defective battery.

Of course, this is coming off your description of a hissing sound, which might be similar to a crackling sound, in which the above still holds true.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helikido:
Are you sure your g3 does not have the hissing sound while charging? At all?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
All mobile chargers will make a noise. That sounds comes from the electrical components, as they chance AC electricity to DC at lower voltage.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustLok:
I dug out an old block charger and that gives off a hum, not a hiss, when I use it and also when it's just plain plugged in and not being used to charge or pass current. The hum do is very faint. I don't get any hiss or hums on my other chargers, whether charging or not.

And yes, all chargers are stepping down voltage, but cellphone chargers on a whole should not be hissing. The current is not much on a whole compared to other appliances that hum (ACs, fridges, etc) that are pulling more amps and current through that transformer. You might get an audible hum or noise when your phone is pulling the full current with a deep charge and even more so while deep charging and using it at the same time.

You said you're hearing hissing, which is not the same as humming. If your battery or phone is emitting a hissing charge, then something is up. As I mentioned in my earlier post, hissing from your phone or battery might signify a defective battery and bad charging, the cells might be overheating or so.

I'm not sure on your setup or so, but one cause of loud humming on transformers is "dirty voltage", or when you have noise on your electric lines. All lines have noise, but depending on your electric supplier, they might have more noise on the line and that translates into the transformer.

You mentioned hissing and not humming again, so I'm assuming it's actual hissing you're hearing. If it was humming, then I would say that that is normal under use and so forth. But hissing is something different, especially if it's coming from your phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EvanWasHere:
So I had the Hyperdrive KK RLS3.1 ROM on my phone. Yesterday morning, when I tried to make a phone call, I noticed the volume was REALLY low.

I then installed another ROM and had the same issue.

I can hear the sound coming from the back of the phone.. but not from the front.. And then I remembered, the night before, my phone accidentally got cheese wiz on it at the movies last night when my girl dripped it from the box to her mouth. I wiped it off in the dark while the movie was playing.. but maybe cheese had pushed into the tiny holes and solidified?

That's the only thing I can think of.. if the speaker had fried, I wouldnt be able to hear anything.

So what can I use to clean out the speaker? A health dose of rubbing alcohol? (while the phone is off of course)

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
If you have access to a desktop computer that has a mouse then use the mouse - they eat cheese.

Hot water. Put the device in a ziploc bag speaker down, and hold the speaker under very hot water (100-180F), about the hottest you would sip coffee. Don't let the zipper go under water because they aren't all waterproof. Give it about 5-10 minutes. If you see cheese running down into the bag then pull it out every now and then to clean and examine. After that's done I would take a chance and squirt some hot water directly into the speaker (facing down) to rinse out the remaining cheese, then blow-dry it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
Just take it apart and clean the earpiece yourself. It's just several screws to remove the back cover. You will see the earpiece right away and just pull it away from the front bezel. There's a ribbon cable attached to it so you won't be able to pull it completely of but enough for you to see the front of the speaker. Inspect and clean. There is a mesh over the speaker which should prevent the cheese from getting in there so you may just need to wipe it off and use Q tip with alcohol to clean it and the speaker holes on the bezel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] EvanWasHere:
I was able to fix it by putting a needle through the little pinholes.. there was a little resistance, but then it went through! I had no resistance on the first pinhole, so I then gauged how deep to go with the needle on the rest of the holes so I didnt do any damage.

YAY! If there are any further issues, I will try the steps u guys suggested.

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
That was risky. Good chance you can damage the ear piece. But glad u got it working.

So, as you can see, the title is bit weird and that is what happened, I've unlocked the bootloader because I wanted to install 4.4 custom rom. I did everything, rooted the phone, installed recovery and went into it, but when I chose the rom (first it was Cyanogenmod 11, then I tried Carbon) I got the message that my phone is not 'hayabusa' but it is 'mint'. I don't know what to do, it is clearly TX, it was TX (hayabusa). :confused:

Make sure the ROM you're trying to install is in fact for your phone. This will let you flash it:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] icALASAD:
That should do it, thanks. I have one more question, if you don't mind. I can't post in Carbon's thread as I don't have 10 posts yet, so I'd be grateful if you could help me with this problem too. When I'm installing Carbon, I have to flash kernel and then install the rom from recovery, but if I flash kernel I can't go into recovery anymore.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
If the ROM comes with a kernel, there is no need to flash one separately. Carbon, as do most ROMs, comes with a kernel; you'd just have to open the zip file and you'd know.

If you can't get into recovery, then you're most likely flashing the wrong kernel, or a kernel without a recovery. If you already have a recovery, just flash the ROM through the recovery. Which kernel are you flashing?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] icALASAD:
Sorry for the late response.

I have sorted it out. Instructions say that I have to extract a kernel and flash it separately. Anyway, everything's working. Thanks.

TWRP was working fine on stock F320L21V (4.4.2). But for just for change, i used CWM 6.0.4.4. In CWM,

i flashed G3 ported rom and after that i stuck in CWM recovery! Then i flashed different roms through recovery but i could not get out of CWM. I tried many roms and many things (which i do not remember now),

i get out of recovery but system hangs on boot logo and after 2 or 3 times booting, it goes into this recovery, i do not what it is but is same as work for root (picture attached)

Then i connected phone with computer in download mode, but in root status it is written "not support"

I was not able to flash kdz or tot:crying:

In kdz method, it always gives an error and say retry.

in tot it says system convert from D802 to F320L (or some thing like that, since i have flashed OptimusG3 rom at end),

and in both above methods, SN and IMEI is detected as null:mad:

Now please help me to get out of that! (i am relatively new to android world, it will be difficult like coding etc)

I have a t-mobile mda II with the shipped rom that has the usual problem with the bt turning on and off.

I have tried most of the fixes posted, only way I could get a reliable connection was to plug the car charger in and leave the display on.

Have had a good trawl through the bluetooth sections of the registry and noticed a key hklm\software\microsoft\bluetooth\sys and key DisableAutoSuspend as shipped this has a value of 1.

I have changed this value to a 0 and done a soft reset for last 2 days my ck3100 has not lost the connection with the mda II running on battery in suspend mode.

may be worth a try

So this mod will enable new animations when you swipe to unlock your screen.

The above link will show you how to mod the apk yourself, But if you look at post 6 there is this link for a modified apk made for sw version .10i for D855.

This apk does work on our phones, it's not perfect though, it won't let you choose a stock image for the background, but you can choose from your gallery.

I haven't had time to modify our apk yet, but when I do get time I'll post it.

still crashes when picking a stock wallpaper... no idea why

If you use the D855 apk you just need to backup the original apk, replace it with the one you just downloaded, set the permissions to rw-r-r-- remove the odex file if there is one and reboot. Don't lock your screen until you reboot as this could cause issues.

Hi everyone. I'm new to XDA, so I'd like to take the time in advance to tell all of you developers and contributors how much I appreciate what you do. XDA has some of the brightest minds in the world. The information contained here has already saved me (and my Nexus 7) quite a few times.

With that said, I'd like to know more about the ins and outs of flashing ROMs (and kernels) and how to do it properly without losing everything (music, pics, etc). Also, how flash updates to ROMs: do I need to wipe and reload everything with each update, and and can I flash the LATEST update or do I have to go back and flash each and every update in order of their release? If anyone could direct me to the proper thread(s) I'd greatly appreciate it. There's so much info here that its easy to get lost. I truly appreciate any help and/or direction.
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
Hi, I'm glad you're happy with XDA.

I'm not a developer but I can tell you about flashing ROMs.

When flashing the latest version of a ROM/kernel you don't have to flash all previous versions

When flashing a new ROM (E.g CyanogenMod) over your stock/current ROM (That isn't CM) you must perform a data wipe/factory reset and wipe the cache. To save data use Titanium backup to backup all your apps, copy all files available to PC and make a Nandroid backup incase the flash fails.

When flashing an update (E.g Cyanogen M6 over M5) most of the time you don't have to backup all apps etc but most people do incase something goes wrong (which it can), however when flashing a nightly/experimental over a M-build you must wipe data and cache.

When flashing a kernel the same rule applies as flashing a new ROM (Backup, Wipe, Restart)

Hope I could help and good luck exploring ROMs and Kernels

I hope I'm not violating the code of conduct of this very useful forum by posting a "for sale" notice, but I'm fed up with ebay scammers/timewasters and thought a directed post here might attract bone fide buyers.

I recently tried to upgrade my phone to an MDA Vario II with T-Mobile UK and was unsuccessful due to some dweeb in a call centre 'following the rules'. So I bought a brand new one off ebay. About a week later, having complained to T-Mobile, they called me back and apologised, offering me a free upgrade...:D

Great - so now I have 2 :confused:

I paid £320 for it on ebay but will let it go for £300 to anyone who wants it. PM me if your interested, and we can arrange a "buy it now" ebay listing with PayPal etc (to ensure all parties are protected).

It's brand new, boxed, all standard accessories included - branded for T-Mobile UK. UK buyers only thanks.
