Now that the Note 4 has been announced and releases of the actual device will be coming around mid October, what are you guys going to do? Take the standard Note 4 or wait even longer for the sexy Edge?

CHIME IN!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
Note 4 specs have me not seeing much reason to upgrade. NSA, U.S.G., and carrer iq stuffs have me thinking my next phone is going to be one a little less tampered with.

I don't like what they did with note 4's screen either(like the s3's) if you set it face down it's sitting on the glass. Note edge I can imagine a lot of these getting broken.

When it comes down to it though, I'll upgrade when phones mirror 4k screens or when theres a min of 50% more processing power.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodaxx:
I am building a custom KitKat 4.4 ROM for a low-powered Android box. On my new custom ROM, the .apk I use as the launcher runs in Immersive Mode. The problem is that the first time you run the ROM it has the notification up top that says "This app has entered full screen. Swipe down to exit." With the OK button. It is not accessible with the remote and I was able to successfully dismiss it with a USB mouse. I am curious if anyone knows how to disable the notification for Immersive Mode? I can't have future users require a mouse just to dismiss this notification and it has become a huge pain in my ass. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youphone:
I have always used MX Player on all of my Samsung phones and tablets for at leas the last 3 years.

I've never used the stock Samsung video player to play anything until today. I noticed the stock video player

produced a MUCH sharper picture than MX Player. I tried this comparison on my phones as well and got

the same results.... the Samsung stock video player always had the sharper pictures. (Note 3, Note 2 and

S4)

I tried to adjust everything setting in MX Player that I can think of, including codec, and changing from HW to

HW+ to SW decoding.... made no difference. The picture was always softer than the stock video players.

All of the videos were either 720p or 1080p MKV/MP4s.(recorded from 1080i output from my HD DVR

or converted from Blu-ray discs)

Is there something else that I can do to make pictures sharper? (or at least as sharp as stock video player?)

Thanks!

Codec for thr stock vider player

When I use the stock video player I get the message that audio is not possible as I do not have the right audio codec for this film.

Can someone please let me know where I can get the right audio codec for the stock video player.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gilg@mesh:
I guess it's the AC3 codec you have problem with, it's been mentioned before if you take a look here

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/codecs-samsung-video-player-t2812549

but it's a easy fix, if you read the post I made in the thread it will let you play AC3 audio too, so now I'm using the stock video player instead of MX Player.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barth2:
Can anyone else verify that the stock player looks better than mx or bsplayer. I tried playing the nature video that comes on the tab S and a few others and they look about the same to me. Hard to tell. Maybe it's a little better, but that could be placebo effect.

On the other hand, there are lots of video the stock player just can't play.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboney:
The crap about stock being "optimized" is pure bull****. The standard and decoding algorithms are well defined and the only possibility is if stock adds artificial sharpening which would actually reduce quality compared to the intended picture. This is pure placebo and a lively imagination talking. Just use mx and enjoy a much better codec support.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krissztyoon:
Hey there!

My question is not exactly about the stock and mx player video player but about videos. The question is I know that the resolution of the tab's display is very very high and with this high resolution watching movies with their lower resolution the movies on this tablet won't be as sharp as the display itself, so the question is which resolution is ok for watching on this tablet? I mean if I download a 720p movie or series and try to watch it on the tab s 8.4 will it be sharp enough not to realize the pixels during the film or for example a DVD quality film is also ok with this tablet to watch on? :) Hope you could understand me, i'm hungarian and hard to describe my problem. :))
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mmacintyre:
Hi I have just got a blueant x3 and I have paired with my Tytn. I must say the instructions were great and it was pretty easy. After reading a bunch of posts on bt headsets I have a couple questions.

1. What does A2DP do? does this just improve the sound, or I am I missing something?

2. I realize I can use the headset for talking on the phone however I believe I can use it for Skype as well, do I need to have any special settings/hack enabled or should it work simply if it is paired?

3. Can I listen to MP3's via the X3 headset?

thanks for the help in advanced,

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] slimsaturn:
I will answer a few of your questions...the other may be better for a fourm for the headset it self.

A2DP--(stands for something like audio X 2 distribution protocol or something) but basically means its supports stereo bluetooh output.

It appears the X3 headset is not stereo head phones...so i think you would have to use the hack that is floating in the hermes forums to support mono audio distribution. It has been at the top of the pages the last few days so just dig down a bit.

As for skype I am not sure...I don't use it..

Since our bootlader is locked. Can we get safestrap recovery to work on our device? Or any dev willing to port/build if we get a working recovery.
[LG G Flex] henslo:
Installed Safestrap Recovery. But when it opens after rebooting automatically boots into the system. So it's possible just needs to be tweaked to fully work on the G Flex.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
A safe strap recovery on KitKat would be awesome. I used to love safe strap on my RAZR cuz you could have multiple ROMs loaded and just boot between them. Kinda like multi ROM on my nexus 7

[LG G Flex] henslo:
Hard to believe no one doesn't have much interest in this. The G2 and G Pro have Flex roms, unlocked bootloaders, etc. Maybe we should start a bounty thread to get attention. I'd gladly donate 50$ to get unlocked and twrp and atleast a Paranoid 4.6 on this phone. :beer:

Android will only kill apps when it needs the memory for something else, so you either have too many apps that are forcing themselves open (meaning the game as a background app, and a large ram hog gets killed first), or the game has been built in such a way that it kills itself when its not a focused app (certain games are built like this, the Simpsons Tapped Out is one example).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Umdoobby:
I have owned my HTC One m7 (AT&T flavored) for several months now and I love the phone but there is this one recurring issue that I have had since i bought it. It randomly ejects the SIM card then it will randomly put it back in. Most of the time it seems to do it while I'm not looking at it, screen turned off, in my pocket. It will, however, pop up the error while I'm on it but that is uncommon. As for the actual error, well sometimes it pops up the error to say it was removed then immediately afterwards reinsert it. Sometimes several of the messages will pop up either over time or almost instantly. And while sometimes its only a couple of the messages other times I can see 40+ of these. Sometimes it will remove the card then not put it back in for hours. I have had it remove it and then put it back after only a few minutes or I have had last for literally hours. Sometime rebooting will make it realize that is SIM is in the phone but other times, I'm talking rarely' it won't and I will have to reboot a few times before it will come back. Mebbe I just have to wait for the phone to put the SIM back. As for frequency, totally random, some months I have zero issues, other times it will act up and it makes my phone all but unusable. I mean everything about this issue it totally random and ethereal.

I have tried getting a new SIM card, that seemed to help it for a while but it came back. And I have tried several different ROMS both jellybean and kitkat. I think they have all been cm11 based except for the stock ones that I have tried. And again it was happened even on the original ROM, recovery and everything.

After talking with a guy at AT&T about this issue he told me that its not uncommon on these phones. That he had seen it alot after the upgrade to KitKat, I saw it before kitkat. And from trying to Google around and find anyone with a similar issue, I'm not so sure its so common.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Does anyone know how to fix it? Its driving me up a wall and it seems to like happening in the worst of times, when I really need my phone to work.

(For the record, the SIM tray is not popping open or anything, its very firmly in the phone, it seems to be software)

Currently I have it running C-ROM v6.4 with TWRP 2.7.0.1a.

Could my HBoot thing it way out of date and that be causing it?

HBOOT - 1.44.0000

RADIO - 4a.17.3250.20

OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617

(this is entering new territory for me, idk what any of that is, I think you can flash the HBOOT thing if you are s-off but idk what that is either)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
HTC was replacing the sim card tray on some early models

and some were able to use a piece or tape on the back of the sim to make it a little thicker. It really has nothing to do with the hboot version. The hboot you have indicates you have never updated the phone. Updating to a 3.xx.502.x software would give you a huge improvement in the touch screen driver.

if can be done pretty easy with a RUU (rom update utility) you can download the 3.xx RUU from HTC here >> http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe

be aware that that file will totally erase you phone and all settings / apps / pictures / music will be lost. Backup your sdcard to the pc before you began. Also sync your phone to htc backup and / or Google before and after the RUU.

I can attest to the tape on the back of the SIM method.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Umdoobby:
Alright I laminated the top of the SIM card with a single piece of scotch tape, that sound about right?

Now I have updated my phone just not through HTC. Its been on custom ROMs after about a month of owning the phone and I try to stay with the most up to date version of android. You you recommend that I update that? Should I go to the version that you mentioned or find a more up to date version. What about the radio or any of the other firmwares, should i even bother those?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
just the update to the 3.xx RUU would be better than where you are now. If you want to go further you need to consider getting s-off first on a hboot lower than 1.57

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerohueso:
I actually disabled the FTV's CEC when my screensaver is running because it would cause a TV that was already off to turn back on when the FTV is put to sleep. I suppose I could add it back as an option, but you'd need to consistently leave your TV *on* and wait for the FTV to put it to sleep. Otherwise, the FTV going to sleep would turn the TV back on.

Bringing this one back from the dead..

My reasonable case for why someone would leave the TV on and wait for the FTV to turn it off is that I have small children and a wife in the house who do not believe in shutting off my 60" Plasma... It really gets on my nerves when I come home from work and I look up at my TV expecting it to be off with a red LED indication showing such, but then see no LED and a slightly brighter black background than I expect. I am not necessarily worried about the whole power consumption thing, but more worried about the life of my TV. It would be nice if it were possible to turn the TV off when the device goes into sleep mode. I have been searching the internet for an answer but I haven't been able to find anything as of yet. Your post is the only ray of light I have seen about controlling the CEC. Any ideas on how to get it to turn off the TV?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmerohueso:
Are you using my screensaver to put the FTV to sleep? If so, you could comment out the commands where I disable CEC in the Python code of the screensaver.

If not, I don't believe the native sleep setting on the FTV sends a CEC power signal. My screensaver only does because it forces the FTV to sleep by simulating a Power button press.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
Most newer tv sets should be programmable to turn off automatically when it doesn't detect a signal. My bedroom tv doesn't but I've got into the habit of setting the sleep timer. There might be a better option but I find its not worth the effort to investigate. Maybe if the aftv had cec support like my rpi (control everything with tv remote) I'd look deeper, but since i need the tv remote for volume, I don't see the point in spending much time on the sleep issue.
