I agree that dust does get inside the Cyclops case. I believe it gets in through the cutout for the ear speaker. It is worth the hassle for me though since it has protected my phone from a few 5 foot drops already.

I know i saw this beat to death somewhere, but I can't seem to find it through search.

I have an unlimited pda connect.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nickcerda:
Tethering cost the same as using the internet on your phone. I.E. If you have unlimited data, which you do, you can tether for free. In fact there are instructions on cingulars website. The only thing you have to worry about is if you have media net only you cannot use isp.cingular. But im about 85% sure your plan includes both wap.cingular and isp.cingular.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] armedmetallica:
Thanks!

yeah, i have the setup working, got it right of cingular's site.

I found out earlier that I have 80,000KB of usage that i WASN'T on the unlim plan for. -- OUCH!

Didn't want a surprise like that to happen again, using tethered!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] willi_3609:
Hello everyone. Today I revisited my galaxy s4 from my g2. I was listening to music and there was some noticeable hiss.

It was very apparent in low volumes and I was wondering if anybody else has this problem. For example, play a quiet song on the 1 notch for volume on some earbuds. Listen and tell me if you have hissing.

If you do.

I found a fix.

First. Try listening for the hiss on the 1st volume notch.

If you have it.

Go into the stock music player. Press the menu button and click settings.

in the settings menu. Click adapt sound and turn it off.

that should fix any problems.

That worked for me.

But. That was on my original s4.

I got a refurb from assurion because my original was destroyed.

Now I have a hiss no matter what. Even with adapt sound off. It was never on in the first place.

So, guys, tell me, does your s4 hiss???

[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
As many of you may know by now, Google rolled out the ability to play 1080p YouTube on 1080p Android devices. However, most Nexus 5s, and countless other 1080p phones don't have this functionality. It's seemingly random, but it isn't. Why, you ask?

Because ONLY Android versions 4.4.2 and L get this luxury. How do I know this? Well, I've tested this on almost half a dozen different Android phones.

Enabling 1080p (and 480p) playback in YouTube is frustratingly simple, and WORKS ON ALL 1080P ANDROID DEVICES WITH YOUTUBE v5.7+!!

So let's get into it! FYI, you need ROOT for this tweak:

First,

------ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR BUILD.PROP BEFORE EDITING IT-----

I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong on your phone. This is dead simple though, and if you create a backup there should be no problems

1: Open your build.prop file, and find this line:

"ro.build.version.release=x.x.x"

(With "x.x.x" being your current Android version number)

2: Then, replace that "x.x.x" with "4.4.2". The line should look exactly like this, (without quotes of course):

"ro.build.version.release=4.4.2"

3: Save, then reboot your phone.

4: Open up YouTube, play a 1080p video, and select 1080p from the resolution menu.

5: Profit :D

Note that this will make Settings and all other apps think you're on 4.4.2. However, your phone will still be on whatever version you started with (this isn't just gonna magically upgrade your OS XD). In order to revert back to stock (you must temporarily revert back to install OTAs), restore your build.prop backup or simply change "x.x.x" back to what it was before.

--If this helped you please leave a Like and share it with your friends! If you do mention it somewhere, please give me/this thread credit ;)--

EDIT: So far, I've only posted this on here and the OnePlus forums (under the same username).

UPDATE: According to a couple people on the forums, Google has fixed the issue on their side so that you can see 1080p regardless of your Android version. Unfortunately, my only device now (the LG G3) is still on 4.4.2 so I can't test it. Also, I'll leave this guide up in case anyone still has issues ;)
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Thanks for the info, simple and a good post.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
You're very welcome!
[Nexus 5 General] yyz71:
Works like a champ :good:
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
:D
[Nexus 5 General] kamots:
Works with L too?
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
When I had the Developer Preview on my Nexus, 1080p was an option by default, so I couldn't say. There's no reason why it shouldn't work, though ;)
[Nexus 5 General] kamots:
Awesome. Thank you?
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah no problem!
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
So this also explains why updating to 4.4.3 on the M8 removes the 1080p option. Stupid Google!
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Very nice catch ;)
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
Just to clarify, this is a Google issue? Reason I ask is that would explain why the G3 is beginning to get the 1440p option due to the screen but why haven't Google enabled their own phone? It makes no sense...
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I get 1080p without messing with it lol.
[Nexus 5 General] boe323:
Stupid google, what about 4.4.4? as anyone tried that version number, as its basically 4.4.4 anyway, ill gladly add it to build.prop if it works.
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
4.4.4 isn't on the M8 yet (they say they've rolled the security updates into 4.4.3 but hmmmm) but on my Nexus 5 running 100% stock 4.4.4 I only get 720p (I don't root my phones any more so although this information is good it doesn't help me!)
[Nexus 5 General] boe323:
I guess we just need to wait for google to do something.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
I tested 4.4.4, 4.4.3, 4.4.2, and 4.4 on the M8 GPE, Z Ultra GPE, and Nexus 5 (L also on the Nexus 5 also). 4.4.2 and L are the only two to receive 1080p/480p YouTube.
[Nexus 5 General] wulsic:
Lol weird :p i wonder why not for 4.4.3/4 so if you want to use it without changing build.prop then you need an modded youtube app right? Nice thread btw i didnt knew about it since i was still using on kitkat the old youtube v4 app. Another thing to do when i have time is looking into the youtube app and maybe find some hidden stuff :p
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
I tried this on Mahdi ROM. It just makes the 1080p option show up in the settings, but I cannot switch to it.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
This is a glitch on some ROMs (from my understanding you tap it but the bubble doesn't fill in?), but in my experience it does in fact play 1080p, just not fill in the selection in settings. It may be very difficult to notice the shift in resolution, but I'd try pausing on some text and changing it around. If it actually doesn't change, then I'm guessing it's a problem with the ROM (or even theme for CyanogenMod in some cases).
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
From my knowledge, the YouTube app relays your version number to Google's servers, and if it's 4.4.2 or L then they send the ability to watch in higher resolution--It's not a problem with the app, but on Google's end.
[Nexus 5 General] wulsic:
Yh i also was thinking about that something is getting send to the servers but i wasnt sure. Maybe we can manipulate the app to refer to an second build.prop and or just to some other file or just put the number in the app itself to force it but i guess that won't be easy since i would have to find it and or it is not findable in smali also. I guess google servers also detect custom youtube clients.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Exactly. My method is harmless and 10000x easier than hardcore modification of the APK :P

Also, if you can't get root on your phone, using Dolphin browser+Adobe Flash plugin and desktop view will work, it's just a pain to use the desktop client on a phone XD.
[Nexus 5 General] wulsic:
Yeah it idd is easier but its still interessting for me to dug into it when i have time. It idd is xD
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Haha yeah could be a fun project. Like I said, if you modded it, it would no longer be a Google signed APK so most likely the servers would see it as a 3rd party client anyways :P
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Or you could make an Xposed module which would keep the signature intact.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
This is true. But then you'd lose ART. Oh how I long for when he gets it working on ART; I just can't go back to Dalvik's sluggishness.

Anyways, it still seems like a fair bit of trouble to go through when you could just change the line in build.prop XD
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
The majority of people use Dalvik because they rely on other Xposed modules anyways.

On the L developer preview, they get 1080p by default because it's "L" in build.prop in the first place.

Strange because I get the 1080p option on KTU84Q lol.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Thanks, it worked!
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah when I had my Nexus on L I definitely noticed that—that combined with my OPO getting getting 1080p as well on 4.4.2, but my M8 not on 4.4.4 promoted me to do this investigation :)
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
Shame it can't be done without root, looks I'm stuck waiting on Google to pull their finger out :(
[Nexus 5 General] HAZE162:
Will it work on jellybean?

Hello i was wondering whether this would work on my Ascend P2 4.1.2 jellybean device. It is rooted so i can edit the build.prop i'm just worried that it will bootloop if i do.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
That thing doesn't even have a 1080p display, why are you asking LOL..

No.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Shouldn't cause a boot loop, but as always, make a backup of your build.prop before you try.
[Nexus 5 General] HAZE162:
Thank you for the fast reply i will give it a go.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

So i changed Build.prop and that all worked however now when i select a resolution it doesn't change it just stays on 144p.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
LMAO didn't even think to check the resolution xD
[Nexus 5 General] HAZE162:
I know

Im after 480p where i live i cant stream 720p without it buffering and 360p looks very meh so i wantd to try 480p.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
If you have 720p you should have 420p anyways. This "guide" is for 1080p.

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------

So theres this 4k video on YouTube.. how to watch in 4k on the Nexus 5??? :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] HAZE162:
Well i don't i have just edited my build.prop and all went well and i now have the 480p option which i didn't have before the problem now is that i can't switch resolutions so it looks like i will be reverting back.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
No, this guide is for 1080p and 480p. If you have one, you have the other (the standard gap is a skip from 360p to 720p).
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I don't know then, my 720p devices have 240p, 360p, 420p and 720p as an option, and my 1080p devices get the same but also with 1080p (I didn't modify build.prop either) All on my own KTU84Q builds lol.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
...Then those 1080p devices must be on Android 4.4.2 (or L) ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I said KTU84Q, aka 4.4.4_r2 :p

4.4.2 is KOT49H/KVT49L
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Ah OK :P

Maybe 4.4.4 R2 fixed the problem...?

I didn't test that update on my Nexus 5, so it's very possible. If anyone else experiences the same thing, I'll update the OP.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Don't think so, friend's Nexus 5 on KTU84Q 100% stock doesn't have the 1080p option. Could just be across my Google account since I'm logged into the same one on all my devices lol.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Was he on the latest version of the YouTube app as well? You have to be on 5.7 or later to have the option regardless of your OS version. I'm guessing he didn't.

Because I was on the same Google account on all the devices in my testing as well.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I made sure, he was lol.
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
I had 1080p on my M8 until the update to 4.4.3, now I just get 720p same on my N5
[Nexus 5 General] Til96:
I've tried it on my ascend p6 with android 4.4.4 and now I can set 480p also. But it doesn't play the video back right. There are only coloured stripes.

Does someone know how to fix that?
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Huh not sure why you'd get it and he wouldn't. Was he on the latest Play Services and Google Search as well?

Like I said I didn't test 4.4.4r2 so I can't really say :P
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Unfortunately, I haven't encountered this issue. I've never used a Huawei phone either, so they may have some idiosyncrasies I'm not sure of.
[Nexus 5 General] Koopa777:
Remember, 99% of N5 owners are on KTU84P. Q is only for those 3 markets for radio issues.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Exactly. Kinda why I didn't test it; it's pretty obscure and not many people are using it.
[Nexus 5 General] nldxda:

[Nexus 5 General] Til96:
Here is a screenshot how it looks like:
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Flashed an old KTU84P build and I still get 1080p. Meh.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
You, sir, have a weird device XD

Maybe if you're restoring a Nandroid of the YouTube app it isn't redetecting your version? Just trying to find some sort of answer as it's a strange exception XD
[Nexus 5 General] Janick76:
My N5 is 4.4.4/KTU84P (stock, rooted, ElementalX kernel) and I get 1080p without editing build.prop.

PS. Hi everyone, first post :p
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
I just looked it up, and the P6 is a 720p screen... Those aren't supposed to support 1080p YouTube, and that's probably your problem.

I don't know if it's SoC supports 1080p decoding either.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Made a backup then clean flashed one of my older KTU84P builds, flashed gapps, set it up and signed into my Google account, installed YouTube from the Play Store and I had 1080p. Lol.
[Nexus 5 General] Til96:
Yes, of course 1080p isn't possible with a 720p phone and I already knew that ;)

But I would like to get the possibility to set 480p because of my currently bad Internet connection.

(and certainly 1080p wasn't in the section ;))
[Nexus 5 General] DanielDTK:
Thanks! Works like a charm! :)

What do you guys think i know im on the wrong sub but everyone here is always so helpful i though i would ask.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Are you on version 5.7+ of the YouTube app? You need that version or higher for 1080p to be available.

Oh, and I don't mind if people ask about different devices here. This fix is for all 1080p+ phones :D
[Nexus 5 General] kazadorz:
I am on youtube version 5.9+ im really stump as to why i cannot watch youtube in 1080p. I even try the youtube app that was modded and still cannot get it, it says no 1080p video available but if i go to the chrome app and look at the same videos it shows the 1080p option very weird. Also thank you for taking the time to help.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
You sure you did it right?
[Nexus 5 General] kilowatt95:
What app are you using to edit your build.prop file? For some reason only Root Browser worked for me. Tried using ES...didn't work. Reproducible on both my LG v500 and Nexus 5. I suggest you try editing using root browser if you haven't already.
[Nexus 5 General] kazadorz:
I will try root browser but my issue is im already in android version 4.4.2
[Nexus 5 General] kilowatt95:
That's strange. You sure the videos you are selecting have 1080p as an option? Stupid question but hey...maybe worth throwing out there.

Anyway another possible reason for this is because the 1080p YouTube update is apparently being rolled out in stages...perhaps it hasn't reached your device yet? Which is strange considering months have passed since the update first rolled out but as of now some users still can't get it. In that case unfortunately you probably have to wait...:(

Anyway let us know how it goes...hope all goes well for you.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
The whole "stages" thing is complete BS IMO. Maybe for the app update, but he's on the latest one. I think every other person who's tried this fix has had it work.

Maybe you could try clearing data+reinstalling YouTube?
[Nexus 5 General] kazadorz:
I have selected videos that are 4k on my pc. I decited to change roms(cloudy g3 rom 4.4.2) today to see if that was the issue still recieving 720p max. I uninstalled the youtube app+data and still giving me same resolution i will try a cm11 rom today after work and see if it something to do with the stock roms.
[Nexus 5 General] Til96:
Does anyone know how to activate 480p on a HD device?
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
This method should give you 480p as well as 1080p in the quality selection menu of the stock YouTube app.
[Nexus 5 General] Til96:
I tried it already and 480p was available but it doesn't show the video right. I posted a screenshot in my second last post.
[Nexus 5 General] SolarTrans:
Maybe the 480p only works on 1080p devices as well?

Some have said it seems like a different codec is being used for the new 480p and 1080p support, and maybe your phone just doesn't support it.

[Nexus 5 General] redrumder:
Hey. I just changed the build.prop.tmp file and replaced the said line's 4.4.4 with 4.4.2. Now I'm getting 480p and 1080p options in Youtube, but I can't change them. It's stuck on 480p or 1080p. Can't even change it to 360p or 720p. Changed it back to 4.4.4 and still the same issue - I have 1080p and 480p options, but I can't change resolution! How do i fix this? Nexus 5, rooted, stock.

EDIT: Used Root Browser for editing instead of ES File Manager. This seemed to be the problem.
[Nexus 5 General] kilowatt95:
Huh. That's really strange - I only had problems when I used ESFM to edit rather than Root Browser - ESFM wouldn't even save the file for some reason even after I gave it root privileges! :S
[Nexus 5 General] RJT71:
With me to but when you play video you have to do it two times or three times before it sticks. YouTube bug probably.
[Nexus 5 General] redrumder:
What I meant was, using Root Browser worked. With ESFM I got the problem I described.
