Try turning off noise reduction in call settings ... I've read someone else having the same problem and another member suggested that... Not sure if it worked but worth a try

Sent from my SCH-I545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
I tried with noise reduction off, and tried with voice privacy off, no changes.

Here's the odd thing. I downloaded and have been using "GrooVeIP" to make strictly calls over wifi, and it works perfectly.

So calls over wifi have no issue, just the audio on a video chat over wifi?

So has any of the other 121 people who have read the thread had time to test this?

I read that turning Google Now off would solve the problem. Didn't work for me tho. Seems to be a problem with desktops too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Didn't work. Same chipmunk voice.

Crazy that i can use grooveIP to make calls over wifi with no problem, but once video /chat is in the mix, it goes to crap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
I finally realized that the chipmunk voice is being caused by the audio being sped up.

So the video chats are speeding up audio over wifi.

Any ideas what would cause this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
See the updated fix.

Do you have the anytime hotword detection on?

Turn it off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsliv:
That made it work correctly. But I like talking to my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Go to the play store, Google search, and report an issue. The more people that report it, the more likely Google will fix.

I'm sure everyone is affected, just some people don't use the anytime function, or don't use video chat.

I'm going to uninstall the update to Google Now/search, and see if it was an issue with the most recent update, and not kitkat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsliv:
Ummmm. Write a review? Email developer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Email developer.

Done. I hope they understand my Alvin reference.

This works. Many thanks. Bugging me for days. Sprint S4 4.4.2 testing new integrated Hangouts. It worked at first, then started with the chipmunk sounds after last Voice update.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllanJacques:
Ok, I'm up to purchase a new tablet and I am divided between Z2 and Tab S.

I'm a happy owner of a Z1 tablet and I am wondering if Z2 is a better option than Tab S.

A far as I can tell Z2 has the edge on the chipset side but Tab S has a better screen, so my question for you is this: Wich tablet would you advise me to purchase?

One last detail: I love to read and browse the Web.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Here in this forum you'll hear: "Z2 Tablet, of course", in the Tab S forum you'll hear: "Tab S, of course". You have to try and decide yourself.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaetheran2107:
Fast, easy to root, light in software, better build quality = Z2

Not as easy to root, getting slower by time caused by bloatware, build quality debatable, far better screen = Tab S

Just my opinion. I bought the Z2 because of Knox and Bloatware but I'm missing the dual window feature that Samsung has.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BabelHuber:
I dislike the Sony UI, but I hate Samsung's Tablet UI. It is even worse than their phone UI.

When I bought my tablet, this was the main difference I recognized in the store.

Regarding the display, I wanted to have 1200p instead of 1600p. Huge resolutions don't add value, I could hardly see a difference between the Sony and the Samsung.

Of course when you look closely, you see some difference, but during day to day usage it doesn't make a difference. Just check it out for yourself, your mileage could vary.

But I explicitly searched for a 10 inch Tablet with Snapdragon 801 and a 1200p display, because higher resolutions destroy 3d-performance while not looking really better, and at the same time consume more power.

So I got what I wanted with the Z2. But you have your own needs, so you could come to a different conclusion. Android offers so much choice that everybody should be able to find his best-suited device. :good:
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllanJacques:
My main concern was exactly screen quality but seems that overall build quality tends to Z2 all the way...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbroh:
Pick up a Samsung galaxy s at the store.... Immediately you can tell the build difference in comparison to the z2. Galaxy s is flimsy and creaks... (I've looked at over 10 from different stores, so no its not an abnormality)... My Z2 is rock solid....now the resolution, software, and hardware? Hands down the z2 is better. But thats my opinion when analyzing the facts.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Er???

Either it's a fact that these things are better on the Z2, or it's "your opinion", i.e. somehow you like them better, without factual evidence.

Your sentence doesn't make any sense, sorry.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbroh:
You should look again at what I stated before making an incoherent statement. To "analyze" facts between two devices is comparing them and "interpreting" the differences through the process of human understanding. Thus a subjective nature is prevalent.

Meaning you can analyze something, and base your subjective opinion off the facts that you have used.

If you are looking for a split comparison of the two devices, its impossible to fully do when each device has separate features. However, basing hardware and build, you can base the material build, board, and benchmarks in a factual comparison, then analyze that information to base your synopsis.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllanJacques:
One lant question, Tablet Z2 is absolutely better than Z1 in hardware all the way, but an upgrade from Z1 to Z2 is advisable? will I notice, on a day to day basis, a great improvement or not?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chentz78:
Just add a annoying bug on touch screen on Z2.

I'm on version 17.1.1.A.0.402 with SGP511 and scroll with tablet is awful. It replace touch scroll for touch "click".

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaddyWhale:
I upgraded from the Tablet Z1 to the Z2 Tablet. The differences are not huge. It was more the idea of having the newest and greatest (as a birthday present for myself) than anything else.

Specific aspects of the Z2 that I really enjoy more than on the Z1 are

1. The screen is noticeably better, particularly from off angles

2. There's no longer a flap over the headphone jack

3. I prefer the wireless charging set up on the Z2. You don't need a stand in order to wirelessly charge.

I was also happy to make the change for a reason particular to me: my old Z1 had only 16GB - I had not realized when I bought it that you CANNOT install apps on an external microsd. So when I got the Z2 I made sure to get the 32GB version.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SANGER_A2:
Can you define what you mean by wireless charging please? Do you mean you can use a magnetic lead like this on it? Or is there a feature I'm not aware of?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaddyWhale:
That's exactly what I mean. On the Tablet Z1 the wireless connections where on the two sides of the tablet when held in landscaper.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Simply install the newest firmware (... .314). If not yet available in your country, take one of the FTFs available here. (I took the Russian one, works flawlessly.)

Then the touch bug will be gone.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouzel:
Kit Kat drove me to the higher memory option

Hi, I looked into this quite deeply before going for the Z2. The Samsung S screen is excellent. But SD card woes under Android Kit Kat convinced me that I needed a 32 Gbyte tablet. There seem to be only 16 Gbyte Galaxy S' in Europe, so I went for the 32 Gbyte Z2.

Also, I have other Sony gear: camera NEX-6, TV....; the build quality of the Sony is higher; and the Samsung has a reputation for being loaded with bloatware and having a poor UI. Some reviews of the Samsung also mentioned that it stuttered under high processor loads.

Hope that helps.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
The "SD card woes" under Kitkat are very easily resolvable (and thus not really "woes"):

1. Root

2. Install app "SDFix" from Playstore and run once (can be uninstalled after that). Done!

Then your SD card will work totally normal with full read-write access.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouzel:
Yes,thanks for that, I was just explaining the reasons dor my choice I suppose. And...

a) being a bit of a newbie and b) being otherwise very happy with my tablet, I don't feel the need to root just yet. But it's good to know the SDFix works with the Z2 tablet. Signs are that Sony might be bringing out a fix too. Rolling out on their cheaper smartphones now, I hear.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:
I wanted to have Tab S, but the speaker is terrible.

Moreover, Z2 has white balance control on the screen so you can adjust to your favor (I prefer clean/cool white).
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbojugend:
I had the same question as you, and the Tab S was the only tablet available.

Having a Z2 device, I really wanted the tablet since the phone is awesome. I didn't want to wait for shipment from Sony's website, and I have regretted it every day of owning the Tab S.

It is sluggish, choppy, and video that plays smooth on my Z2, the exact same thing is choppy on my Tab S. Because of the stupid chipset dev is non existent on the 10.5, and does not look like it will ever pick up, especially since the Note 4 will have the Snapdragon chipset.

I am probably going to sell it, take a little hit, and buy the Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:
How about the speaker on Z2 compared with Tab S?

I tested Tab S and the speaker is much lower than my Note 10.1 classic. I want to buy Z2 Tablet, but I worry about the speakers (assuming everything is nearly the same as Tab S).

----edit----

Finally I had an opportunity to try both and found speaker on z2 is much better than Tab S (the latter one is very weak and badly compressed). In addition, z2 feels much solid than Tab S.

Try re-downloading the rom. (might have corrupt file)

Try wiping the system 3 times in recovery before installing fresh rom download.

If problem still occurs, notify the roms thread and try a different one.

No one can really tell you what's "better" since there's sooooo many variables you like compared to what others prefer. Try a different one based on the same android version or higher.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyGui:
Good day to you all,

I had a question regarding the Google+ progress syncing of certain games, mainly Plants vs Zombies 2. I had been playing this game and finished all the levels that are out so far without being connected to Google+ in the game.

After that, I noticed that you're able to save progress with Google+ so I made a Google+ account (didn't have one before) and connected the account to the game. Only problem is, Google Play Games is telling me that I haven't got any game achievements despite me having finished the game already. It looks like it's not syncing my game progress to Google+ that I've made so far. I already have enabled Google+ to sync App data in the Accounts options. Pressing the Sync now button there doesn't fix it.

Question: Does Google+ only sync game progress from the moment I enable it in-game? In other words, does it ignore any game progress you have made before enabling Google+ in-game?

I also had the same question regarding Cut the Rope 2 and Sonic Dash since I'm experiencing the exact same issue with these games as well.

I would really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on this.

Thanks in advance,

JohnnyGui

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bradsnw:
Wow, I impressed myself tonight. I read this site every day, and have been doing so since last year when I bought my Cingular 8125. Tonight, I decided to cook my own custom Rom, and low and behold, the flash went perfectly, and all aspects of it installed without a flaw, even the custom extended rom I cooked. I learned all of this by simply reading through these threads.

I'm not too sure what this communities sharing ettiquite is, and would like some opinions and feedback from the authors whos work I borrowed. This Rom will not be shared until I can further personally tweak it. My custom Rom details are as folows....

OS - AKU 3.2 (extracted from Faria's Beta 4 Rom) Faria - I do not want to use, nor will I share this rom, because OS was extracted from your masterpiece. This Rom was just to test, and will not hit anyone elses device.

IPL - 2.26 (extracted from latest T-Mobile Rom)

SPL - 2.26 (extracted from latest T-mobile Rom)

GSM - 2.47 (Again, came from Faria's 3.2 Beta 4)

Extended Rom - My Own - Since I'm Cingular, included the GPRS and MMS settings, also added Memmaid, Battery Status, Wireless today plugin, and Molskis Performance and Registry Tweaks)

I like the simplicity of this rom so far, I have tested everything out there, and some Rom include too many goodies that I dont use, and others dont have enough. This Rom is fast and functinal.

Faria & Molski: I will not share this rom because your hard work and efforts are included in it. I would like to see where I could find the base AKU 3.2 Rom, and start over, so all work and everything included in this Rom is truly original.

Feedback would be great!

if you decide to release this rom for cingular i'd be intersted :) right now im using molski's 30mb rom on my cingular 8125 and i love it.

It's good to hear, more of us should follow your example and read more.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] j3d1n4s7y:
good for you! see what a little searching gets you these days...perhaps others might learn from this (well who am I kidding right?)

I like the respect/props being given to Faria & Molski too...perhaps if you come up with some that great and they both give their consent then others could enjoy your ROM

well done
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mlehtola:
I think that it's quite obvious. There's so many threads about the same stuff and on the other hand the "Search" really sucks for almost every forum script there is available, also for vBulletin. Some of you write really nice how-to's, they are really much easier to deal with than reading the whole thread with (very necessary) comments like "not working here" between. Wiki would also be better place to keep basic stuff (in this case cooking and updating ROM) data available. My bottom line is (I guess :-)) The forum structure should be re-designed...something like this:

Wizard: basic questions, usage

Wizard: software

Wizard: accessories

Wizard: ROM updating

G3

G4

Wizard: ROM cooking

G3

G4

Wizard: ROM releases

etc...

Just my opinion, don't kill me :-) And don't get me wrong..you all are doing incredible work here and you deserve all the credits. This all is just too BIG for the current forum structure...

Hey guys,

I have CM11 M9 flashed and the auto rotate does not seem to be functioning. I can force a change via Tasker or other 3rd party app, however device will retain whatever orientation I set it to, regardless of device positioning. I saw some mentions of this in the developer CM thread, but I didn't see a resolution.

I also flashed the, as of now, latest nightly (8/23/2014), but it seemed to have the same issue.

Is there a known fix for this, or possibly a previous CM build without this issue?

For clarification, I haven't run into a single other issue with this version of CM and I would love to continue using it. However, it's just a pain in the ass to use this as a media tablet without being able to change orientation on the fly.

My phone was working fine when the screen was cracked. I didn't check if it was working right before I replaced the screen but I'm assuming it was. While replacing the screen I put some scratches on the digitizer. I also wiped it with a paper towel and it change color on some part of it. When I turn the phone on the charging light, to left corner works. Also the bottom soft keys light up as well. But that's it the screen does not light up at all and the phone doesn't make any sound when it turns on. Could I have damaged the digitizer in any way? I don't see how replacing the screen would have done that. I also noticed that while the phone is off I can see through the glass screen and see the digitizer. Where before it would look all black.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Did you replace the display, or just the glass? If you scratched the digitizer theres a good chance thats the problem. What did you use on the towel that caused it to change color? Thats also not a good sign. If you could explain a litte better what you replaced, what you used and how you did it, it would probably help to figure out what happened. But either way it does sound like it was damaged in the process.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dpshptl:
I Just replaced the top glass not the whole digitizer and all. I didn't have anything on the paper towel but I think some oil from my hands. Then I tried to clean it with water so it looked like a really big smudge of oil. When I watch fix it videos all the digitizer looks black and mine looks silver. Also from reading on Google lots of people had this happen to them. It seems maybe the hair dryer made the phone too hot, if extreme heat could damage it. Or just too much pressure. Since I did put some scratches on it maybe I applied too much pressure. Lot of people are saying even the slightest bit too much pressure can damage it. But I still don't get why mine looks silver and not black.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I think the heat related discoloration is mostly seen when the display is on. Not sure about when its off. Cant say why it would be silver looking though. I would think youd need more heat than a hair dryer for that to be the cause though.

It may be from the water. Its just a guess though. Ive only ever seen or used rubbing alcohol or certain types of cleaners.
