[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L04D3R:
Hey,

I had already posted a topic but the problem is came back !

I explain the problem : when i'm listening music, there are sometimes a "sound crackling". I tried the "Lightning Kernel" but with the last update of CyanogenMod, this kernel produce display problems and the wifi does not work.

So i searched other solutions : i installed "FreeXperia CyanogenMod UNOFFICIAL 337" but the problem is still present :(

Have you a solution please ? CyanogenMod is a fantastic ROM, and i wouldn't want to uninstall this because of a sound problem.

Thank you !

And sorry if my english is approximately, it is not my official language :D

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjlm21:
the only solution that worked for me is set minimal cpu freq from to 486, in the infected cyanogemod build no increase much your battery consumption
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cephalopode:
I can say that this sound problem (bzz) is not a cyanogenmod ROM issue. I already had this bug with official Sony ROM for C6603 with both KitKat 4.4 and Lollipop 5.0 when using Napster

So I think to increase CPU minimum at boot is only a way to reduce the problem.

I try this solution on Cyanogenmod 11, this bzz reduced in number but still stay.

I remember a old phone I had in the past where audio had a special treatment. I notice that on a old Nokia I bought, a DSP are inclued and audio signal was always treated by this DSP and never by the CPU ; Result, 0 bug with audio application. I supose that there is probabely something that CM and Napster on official Sony ROM do not in the correct way in this Xperia Z (dedicated audio hardware ?).
[Paranoid Android Q&A] retardbatman:
Simply put, dragging down the settings & notifications, as well as using the pie controls doesn't work if you're using immersive mode & a mouse. USB or Bluetooth doesn't matter. To me it looks like the input is being registered below the bars, but I'm no dev so take that with a grain of salt.

Anyone happen to know of some way to solve this or do I just have to hope that the devs sort it out in the future?

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanga5:
Hi all,

I have a samsung tab 3 device and this is the second time in 6 months that it really struggles to swipe to unlock.

After getting it repaired under warranty last time it was fine but has started doing it again. It is very frustrating, especially because I'm a low user.

I've tried turning off device and this does not seem to solve the issue.

Occasionally it plays nice and works for 10 mins but then plays up again. Is there something I can do to easily repair this issue or

Should I take it back to samsung and get it fixed under warranty.

Or thirdly try and get a refund and buy another branded device ie ipad

Cheers for listening or reading

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prezesziel:
When does this issue occur, only while screen is locked? What exactly do you mean by "struggles to swipe...?"
[G2 General] cityneversleepz:
I started this thread mostly for anyone that looses knock on after flashing a kernel or for any reason. I know that the G2 hidden menu works by typing on our dial pads 3845#*(your 3 digit model)# for some LG G2 users, and I also have used it, but for some unknown reason to me, it didn't work all of the time when I lost knock on. If you are in that category, then you can try installing the LG G2 Hidden Menu Launcher app from the Playstore. This app also stopped working after the kitkat update, but you can get it working if you follow these steps:

1. Install LG G2 Hidden Menu Launcher app from Google Playstore

2. Use Titanium Backup to convert the this User App to a System App

3. Use Root Explorer or similar to Move this app from the system app folder to the Priv-App folder.

4. Check to make sure that the Properties match other apps in this folder. Mine are set at RW-R-R

5. Reboot

6. Look in your app drawer and you should see the app there and then you can use it for whatever you want including following the steps that are laid out in several threads for updating the touchscreen firmware which will restore your knock on function.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lawalty:
Looks like AT&T is not being the first to roll out the 4.4.4 update. I'm guessing it will be happening sooner than later.

Here is a list of the updates happening:

Android 4.4.4

HD voice Icon support

International Wi-Fi Calling support

Google Security Patches

Knox 2.0

Kids Mode

I got this from Samsung's website talking about Sprint:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?fm_seq=73981&faq_id=FAQ00057083

I also heard from rumors that they are planning to unlock our bootlooder. I wouldn't put to much weight in that though.

But, Knox 2.0? What is that?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Byronchapin:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zaptear:
Ya I guess so I do know this is my last Samsung phone. Looking in to oneplus phones.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lawalty:
Another thought is, since the new Note 4 is so close to the Note 3, as far as what we can do with it, I really don't see that much of a software update happening.

Think about it. Sammy's main goal is to make more $$ on the new hardware, so why invest more time andc $$ in an update?

Just a thought.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
Supposedly they have to support us with updates and stuff for 18 months. The Note 3 has been out for almost a year, so we should still be getting 4.4.4 and L. I have a feeling they're going to skip 4.4.4 and go straight to L, which I will be avoiding at all costs.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zaptear:
Is L no good
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rukbat:
AT&T/Samsung updates go in the direction of maximum corporate security, so unless you're the network admin for some company, probably not. (They want to turn your phone into the company's phone, so if you're not in the business of buying your employer a phone that they allow you minimal use of, Samsung is no longer the phone to buy.

Maybe if they lose enough business, they'll change their policy.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] zaptear:
Ya oneplus phone is what I'm thinking
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
L= downfall of Android. Read up on it and you will see why. After the KitKat update fiasco earlier this year I've learned my lesson and plan to stay put on 4.4.2 until my Note 3 dies.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] D4nielC:
I'm thinking 4.4.4 sooner rather then later. I'm assuming several months before an "L" release.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tylercarter:
This is what I'm going to go with. L is a long ways away for Samsung devices. Look how long 4.4.4 has been out and we still haven't seen it. I wish it was different and AT&T had speedy updates but sadly that's not the case.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] undrwater:
I did a couple of Google searches and didn't come up with anything obvious (maybe cause I used Google search?). Can you provide a link, or shed some light on why you're saying this?

Will you be moving away from android once your Note dies?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
I don't have a link but I read that samsung and android are going to partner up and integrate Knox into android. At least that what I think he means.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I'm saying L= bad because I've read rumors about how Google will be incorporating Knox or something like it into the source code. It'll be locked down tighter than NC2 and may be the end of root and ROMs. Supposedly even the Nexus 5 guys had a hard time rooting the L developer preview.

I'll wait and see if the rumors about L are true before moving away from Android. There's no way I'd be caught dead with an iPhone and Windows phones don't appeal to me.

I'll see if I can get you some links after work.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] undrwater:
Adding "Knox" to the search helped a bunch. Here's a pretty good article:

http://www.cso.com.au/article/550673/google_details_knox-inspired_enterprise_managed_profiles_android_l/

It looks as if Google may still try to lock the bootloader, just not through Knox.

Thanks!

If google really does tie KNOX into Android, I really see no value in staying with Android. If I'm going to be forced into a closed operating system, I may as well go back to iPhone. At least there, all of their accessories (even 3rd party ones) work on the phone you buy. :(

I moved to Android for this very reason. I liked having more control over my device.

I'm rooted on 4.4.2 and have disabled the auto update service. Like others, I'll be on this until it dies.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dlradlt:
Google can't use Knox it's Samsung's intellectual property and we're already stuck with it and a locked boot loader so it doesn't really matter. The fact that at&t and Samsung are working on securing the OS and device works for them and since enterprise customers demand security controls that's what we'll get. Our money doesn't make enough of a difference for Samsung to change its policies so I'll vote with my money next time and not buy Samsung's product if its locked in the current manner. Its my fault I didn't research what I bought before not Samsung or AT&T'S. As far as switching to Apple no thanks their worse by far.

I've been using Linux in one flavor or another for years and I'll stick with that choice because in the long run it will always offer more options more freedom's without a Microsoft or Apple price tag.

So if like me your stuck because you can't afford to change hardware that still works well be glad that you have a place like XDA to get help with customizing controlling your phone.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tnerb123:
Well saw a story somewhere that every phone that was going to get 4.4.4 has it released. There was no information about the note 3 at all. Which makes it sound like ATT doesn't want to release another update after the last F up they did with the the 4.4.2 update.

So I am not getting my hopes up for any updates any time soon. Since we are no longer there flag ship phone I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't release any more updates. They want us to but new.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mrkhigh:
It wouldn't surprise me if we just jump to lollipop.

I am thinking this is a good time for us to contact Samsung if anyone have good info to do that. I mean unlocking the note 3, relatively old device is not about security or keeping the customer on the platform. But as device get older, unlocking mean shifting the responsibility to the customer so they can maintain their device in a safe and useful manner(putting a more recent android version and patches upbto date. Also keeping those device out of the landfill.
