[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiriusBlack299:
kernel + USB connection

Two problems:

1. Stock Kernel has been removed from the 3rd post. Where can I find it?

2. After flash this ROM, my PC doesn't recognize it. Hence I cannot tranfer file from PC to Note 3 and vice versa. Samsung Kies doesn't recognize the device either. How to fix this problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kakahoho:
This ROM is very stable but I have small problem.

How can I disable or hide 3 dots menu in all application?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldmantisak:
Can I install for att note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziyaad89:
Yes
[Xperia Z3 General] Gin110:
I got this Phone for 3 weeks now (switched from Nexus 4) and I am happy, but there are some massive contras/issues yet:

1. It started to make a crack-sound when you make small pressure on the front and back side of the phone

2. It randomly (last time just 5min. ago, and it was jsut lying next to me beeing in standby) restarts (happened like 4 times yet) and the extra confusing part is, that I just have to enter my Phone-code, but not my SIM-Pin.

I was at my provider and wanted to get a new one, but they told me, that it's not possible yet, because it's fresh out and I need to wait like 3-4 weeks.
[Xperia Z3 General] RobertSand:
Also comming from nexus 4. facing some soft reboots, but I dont see that as a big problem. Probably they will fix it with a update? I'm happy with the phone.
[Xperia Z3 General] stevoknevo:
My issue is how the screen reproduces reds, they are almost neon and no distinction between various shades. I'm returning mine :(

Xperia Z3 camera problema...

Has anyone met his Z3 Sony Xperia D6603 camera also opening post ? Please explain to me how to solve . It's a software problem ? How rezolv.Eroare ! Recording in progress in another application . Can not record .
[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
Turn super vivid or x reality off
[Xperia Z3 General] Chefproll:
Doesn't help. The effect is caused by the display hardware, I guess it's connected with Sony using blue LEDs for backlighting, not white ones.

It's a like-it-or-not effect; personally, I like it.

I did a 1:1 comparison using two Z2 Tablets, X-Reality switched on and off. Videos on the X-Reality enabled tablet were far better; better contrasts, better details.

Of course I did not believe in Sony's advertizing, first. But it DOES work. And that's the only reason for me keeping the bootloader of my Sony devices locked. I give a you-know-what on the DRM keys (except the ones preventing the Z3's camera quality getting even worse, if that's possible at all); but I do NOT want to lose X-Reality.
[Xperia Z3 General] stevoknevo:
Both are switched off. I think it's as Chefproll says, however other people whom I have spoken to about it says that their handset does not display this issue. I've also got backlight issues whereby it's brighter on one side than the other (in portrait it's brighter on the left than the right) and some slight yellow staining in the bottom left corner :(
[Xperia Z3 General] jonshipman:
Suggestion about the random turn offs, did you by chance trim an existing SIM? The phone restarts when a SIM is ejected/inserted. It's possible the trimming went wrong and there is a tiny short that causes the phone to think the SIM was removed and inserted.

If you have a trimmed SIM, try a carrier nano SIM.
[Xperia Z3 General] Gin110:
No they sent me a new nano sim along with the phone itself.
[Xperia Z3 General] rob_h:
Pretty sure this happens if you have the Google Now detection enabled for all screens. IIRC you can just OK the box and carry on.
[Xperia Z3 General] RobertSand:
If you pull sim card you probably need to enter pincode. So I think this is software related.
[Xperia Z3 General] Smartphoner:
Came from a Z2. I felt that Z3 sound is a little bit lower than Z2. Anyone one noticed that, or is it some kind of settings tweak?
[Xperia Z3 General] Gin110:
There was an option "Clear Audio+" - when i turned it on the sound was way better (from the speakers).

An other issue I just got is, when I use my Sony MBR-10 headphones via bluetooth and the Z3 is in my pocket, it seems like the connection sometimes stuck, so there is something like a hick-up while hearing music, no total loss of connection. I can reproduce this issue, like I said, when the phone is in my pocket and I am walking.
[Xperia Z3 General] CandyAndy:
Yeah this is the reason for the error message.

However have anybody else noticed that Z3 detects the "ok google" much worse than any other? I have tried side by side against M8, Moto 360, Nexus 7 and Tablet Z and Z3 is usually the only one which doesn't detect the command.
[Xperia Z3 General] Chefproll:
Confirmed. Compared with a S4. If the S4 still recognizes "OK Google" or any spoken command, Z3 fails. You need to get real close to the microphone to make it work.

Changing the microphone sensitivity does NOT help at all.
[Xperia Z3 General] GuyverV:
I'm having the same issue.
[Xperia Z3 General] mrgizmoe:
I just got mine yesterday, are you still having the crack sound? mine is doing the same thing and its driving me nuts.
[Xperia Z3 General] enfurno:
Mine isn't cracking or creaking, you may want to get a replacement. Headphone volume is really low though.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Im waiting for a replacement but my old one never had any creaking issues.
[Xperia Z3 General] mrgizmoe:
Its kinda like a static pop sound, actually I tested it out today and my bottom speaker doesnt emit sound at all :( unless thats not a speaker?
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
If a speaker is not working definitely return it.
[Xperia Z3 General] jonshipman:
Also, of note, if a speaker is wet it'll "mute" itself until it dries out. Noticed this while trying to listen to music in the shower.
[Xperia Z3 General] monomojao:
where can I find that case you have? thanks

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

You can try to make a clean flash. Make backup and follow the following steps

1.) Flash a kitkat compatible recovery here or here

2.) Reboot to recovery. Not to the system!

3.) Full wipe: data, cache, dalvik cache.

4.) Mount system and format system partition manually.

5.) Flash the v4.6 Beta 5.

6.) Flash the micro gapps

7.) Reboot the system

And it should work :laugh:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nirzhar:
How can I keep the status bar on at all times? it goes away n I have to swype 4-5 times to make it come back..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
You can use the 'old' recents but battery usage is good on my device. A fresh install sometimes is a solution.

Disable immersive mode
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tobias4X:
Great!

It got smoother, faster and overall nicer as always! buuut i had to revert to previous beta because:

no matter what i did the "kill all apps" button did not show in the top right corner and nowhere else, neither in recents card view nor the usual and i love that button too much.

also i noticed in both betas the mediascanner service is holding my phone at solid 200 mhz all the time as long as my sdcard is inserted (im trying to wipe it and make an ext4 fs for a change but its 32 gb, not copied that fast, will keep you updated!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
200 mhz is the minimum and pretty normal. Don't know what you want but it is not a good idea to keep it under 200. Ever tried running a device at 0 mhz ? :p

The kill all button sometimes does not show in some betas. Overall pretty good and smooth rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tobias4X:
Well i would like to keep it under 200: at "deepsleep" mode where it uses much much less juice. The only thing keeping it awake must be a file on my sdcard, any way to see in logcat if mediascanner has a heavy problem with some file and hangs at one?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Like I said 200 is the min.

Your screen is not going to turn on if its under 200 mhz.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tobias4X:
no 100 is the minimum under dorimanx kernel but that aside

Better Battery Stats lists me two different things:

With sdcard mounted: 100% awake, 200 mhz all the time

With sdcard unmounted: 100% Deep sleep, yes its directly labeled as Deep sleep! how strange such a mode exists! (i realize the processor is still awake at this but if nothing helds it awake (as BBS states: mediascanner service) it uses much less energy than it actively doing stuff. it is a full WAKELOCK, WAKE-LOCK, please take that name apart for yourself im not in the mood for explaining words XD)and strangely it looses 1-2 percent in a few hours in deep sleep while using 3-5%/hour if held awake by mediascannerservice.

give me 4 minutes, i will attach a few screenshots
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tobias4X:
Here is the stat with sdcard, gonna take it out and reboot to show you the deepsleep mode it can reach (yes the mediascanner is always on even when the phone is running over 24 hours so.... No "wait till it finished"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tobias4X:
Look yourself

It was still starting siftware but rilj isnt getting worse after boot and look! Under 200 mhz there miraculously appeared something called "deep sleep" whipe mediascanner is nowhere to be seen as i removed my sd card

Also my phone date gets reset when i remove the battery longer than 20secs so screens seem to be from 2000
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
200 mhz is the stock min. frequency with almost all kernels on i9100 and undervolting can cause a SoD. Stop throwing with words you don't know the meaning of. You can't go under the min. frequency while in DS. Do some research before :)

We do also have an edit button. You should also know that DS problems are mostly kernel related and or the apps that are installed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tobias4X:
Cixty 100 mhz runs fully fine under Dorimanx kernel for me (Cpu Variant 4), stop assuming others know nothing how their phone works.

And if this problem would remain even aftert ... lets say over five clean reflashes by now and is with no apps instantly happening as soon as my sdcard is inserted? strangely it still persist.

and i suggest you look up what "deep sleep" is before you happily ramble about why it shouldnnt exist while it exists and while it saves more power while, according to you, it cant. and why you dont see it in cpu states overview in BBS.

If i may quote the german wikipedia (forgive me ms translation):

"Sleep Mode is a strongly energy saving mode that halts the Processor while waiting for an interrupt from the outside, using only the minimal power to keep main things (as ram and other non-volatile memory and so on) active.

If you dont know what an interrupt is, what a wakeup/wakelock and other things are and why exactly pressing that power button makes the screen magically light up.... well i suggest google it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Funny because I didn't say that it does not save battery. :rolleyes:

Stop beeing resistant to advice and do some research before you start complaining and beeing a smartassV2 ;):rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tobias4X:
:rolleyes: sarcasm unknown aswell, urgh :rolleyes:

I know the CPU governors, i know deepsleep mode, i develop for android and hell i build cyano myself for my SGS2.

I know a problem with media scanner when i see one and this definitely is it, no app can be responsible for this if no app is installed and it only shows up on PA beta.

I've taken that advice long ago and currently study it so again:

Dont assume everyone aside you has absolutely no idea how their devices work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
So you want a cookie?

I didn't even say that it is not the problem. I said mostly kernel, app related. And just for your info I don't have battery drain. :)

This discussion is getting ridiculous. Take an advice or leave it but don't waste my time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tobias4X:
nah i can make cookies myself, but i just wanted to point out in the beginning that its neither app nor kernel related, definitely caused by the media scanner service aswell as only occuring when my sdcard is inserted. you had taken the route trying to falsify me and constantly saying that 200 mhz, and not deepsleep, was normal in the beginning.

if i know i am right and i am backed up by more than enough reliable sources (in this case even scientific if i pull out the documentation about the cpu state) i will keep a clean agument and show you where you are wrong, simple as that.

Didnt solve the mdeiascanner problem tough ... meh
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Lol no but that's none of my business. Have a nice day. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Redsandro:
Please excuse me if I am something one could summarize under the title of "novice" or "stupid".

I have come from Paranoid Android 2.54, took a detour through a lot of firmwares, and am now here. However, the Google Music app is black and dark grey text on a black background. This is completely silly and massively annoying for someone who listens to music every day. My initial thought was to simply change the color of that specific app. But I noticed that's not possible any more.

I am probably not the only one using Google Music. Why is this broken by default and how (if possible) do I fix this?

Is there another free no-bull**** app for playing music? I used to use Apollo but it was always buggy and basically just a pre-release fork from Google Music afaik.

If it's not at all sunny outside, you can barely read the band. But the song title? The album? Black text on black background.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Poweramp
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mixchan:
waiting patiently for the new beta build !!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ahmedelhofy:
They're probably busy working on android lollipop builds, and the gs2 isn't supported anymore because they don't have a maintainer for our device... If someone showed and maintained our device, they will continue the support, other than that it's time to search for another rom
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mixchan:
Any recommend rom??? What about the latest build for kitkat ???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ahmedelhofy:
There is a lot of other ROMs available

AICP

SlimKat

Omni (they are also stopping the support of gs2 pretty soon)

PAC

CyanogenMod
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Redsandro:
Oh noes that is not nice. I've been ROMhopping for a while and for my SGS2, Paranoid Android was definitely the least buggy, fastest and prettyest one.

You'd think they would all be similar-ish, but no, there's a lot of crap out there. Even with big names on them. For this particular phone that is, maybe some firmwares are simply more focussed on other devices.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ahmedelhofy:
CyanogenMod is a buggy mess for the gs2.... OMNI is really good with great stability sadly they are dropping support as well... I'm currently on slimkat... Which is pretty good as well..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fikul:
When i turn on dynamic statusbar i have a lot of lags... when its disabled everything is ok, i have the same issue with "crdroid rom".... there is something wrong with DSB ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
DSB is messed up. There are better alternatives when using xposed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fikul:
Rly ? like Transculent statusbar ? I think there's no better color detection than DSB or maybe i didn's know about some xposed modules...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mixchan:
l like slimkat also, but it is lag of custom theme setting, i will give Omni ( also no theme engine support) a try if paranoid stop their kitkat version build.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ahmedelhofy:
SlimKat is very stable and has a bunch of settings, you can even use SlimSaber Linaro builds of SlimKat which should be better in terms of system performance.. . OMNI is really stable since it's mostly just a copy of AOSP with really simple options -they're dropping support as well for Lollipop-
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mixchan:
What about AICP??? It is full of features and also support theme engine
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ahmedelhofy:
Never tried it... Only found that it was supporting us two days ago.... But with Lot's of features.. Comes annoying bugs.. I have seen people saying that the status bar crashes.. And sometime it makes the battery drain
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] humercab:
So as I understand alsow no development for kitkat for I9100? This was the last beta?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ahmedelhofy:
I have no idea, PA should stop development for LL not KK, Just use any other ROM guys, there is a bunch for other ROMs out there..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] humercab:
Which one will you use?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ahmedelhofy:
OMNI is one if the most stable ROMs I've ever used... I'm sticking with it until someone creates a lollipop build...

Quick tip : if you gonna use omni ROM, don't use its built in delta updater... It seems to be causing wakelock problems and it's don't work that well, other than that it's great
