[Galaxy S 4 General] dssence:
Ok , thanks for such a complete explanation. It's always nice when someone with knowledge takes the time to go detail by detail explaining everything. This is the way things have to be done, and explained. Ok so let me get things straight

- Wanams Efs backup , I need to install within a working ROM right? It's not through Philz recovery, What should I backup with EFS backup only EFS?. Something I forgot to tell you was I did change some permissions to see if the invalid baseband got fixed, I changed some owner permissions on the EFS folder, you should know about this.

-Then you want me to install latest ROM should that be KIT KAT right?. Unbranded for my region. Yes I know about the PIT file to repartition, I've already done this and still bootlooped with all the rom variants I tried. The only possible way the phone boots and succeeds is with South African ROM 4.2.2 I've tried all previous roms even choosin the apropiate PIT and still bootlooped.

-The only thing I'm left thinking is all these bootloops have something to do with the modem file, which the South African rom 4.2.2 might have a different modem. Which modem should I install I've read the G versions onwards modified the EFS partition.

- Last, how would EFS backup fix the EFS partition if it's only backing it up, Cause i'm thinking as I've initially when I received the phone installed KIT KAT. IT changed the whole partition scheme of efs.

So now that I've gone through every point, can you clear again the steps :) sorry if I'm so tedious on reviewing again but I needed to clarify bit by bit.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I must have misunderstood you regarding the IMEI. If it's invalid EFS Backup won't help. Also, if you've already ran the PIT file and still get bootloops, you may have to take the device in for servicing. A service center should be able to fix this without too much trouble. Unfortunately, I can't fathom why only one ROM installs, unless the carrier locked down the device so much that upgrades are impossible.

Perhaps one of the other advanced users or developers have a clue?
[Galaxy S 4 General] dssence:
Hey so many thanks, honestly I don't know what have been wrong with the device. I'm suspeting this has to do with the modem. Could the modem version on the South africa rom be causing the ROM to install fine. But think of this me first installing KIT KAT and have screwed up the efs and as a consequence the IMEI. My only way would be to install kit kat succesfully as the EFS might have changed. Any advices on this?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The modem isn't likely to cause a bootloop. At worst, it's likely to render the cellular and WiFi services unusable until it's flashed again. Screwing the EFS up is where I believe your problems lie. The EFS partition may well be corrupted, which could cause your bootloop. I really think the only way you'll resolve this is by having someone at Samsung take a look at it. You've repeatedly installed ROMs and have had no luck, so installing a ROM again isn't going to help you here.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] [GO]Bobster:
Had my Exec about a month now, no troubles with it (well dropped it once) it was working fine until last weekend, and now the sensitivity on the screen seems to switch itself off! i have to tap it repeatedly quite hard (with my fingers) for it to recognise that i want to tap the screen, then its fine, but as soon as i stop using it, it turns off again!

i've hard rebooted twice now and it solves the problem for a couple of minutes and then reverts to not recognising my screen taps..

anyone offer some help?

oh i guess i should supply some details about the firmware etc?

hmm one of the issues i've had with my exec is as if the screen is multiple selecting.

For example if i'm looking through my messages and one it already selected, I click on another message and that one gets selected too, dont know if this is an issue of similar nature to yours. After a hard reset it's fine so i'm not sure what causes it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Might be your screen protector???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] matt1971:
I have had the "multiple selecting" issue in Total commander.

I cannot be 100% sure but mine seems to be solved by letting the screen rotate between portrait and landscape - but making sure the today screen and plugins are FULLY drawn before rotating again.

Nah, mine had it from the start.

After almost 2 years, it has only just had the "T" of the soft key a little not so sensitive. The rest are ok.

Maybe re-calibrate may help???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BLCBob:

Does this have anything to do with the devices 'Double tap sensibility' setting??

Just a thought... Maybe, as I have never had a problem like this so not really sure!!

Screen trouble multiple selecting

I had this trouble and found a definate fix its to with the loose contacts of the touch screen to the main board if u use a T6 screwdrivers under the batter is four screws lift the panel off. You'll see two grey bit where the coaxile cable joins to the board make sure the connection isn't loose put a folded piece of paper on top or something to keep it tight, i think its the top grey bit but u'll ave to keep testing till you get it right maybe bottom, then put the bottom panel back on screw it up put the battery back and it should work, well did for me.

hope this helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StokolaN:
Hi just Wondering would you think this could be a problem with one that when the screen is opened and spun so the touch screen is on the outside that the touch dose not work?

It works fine when i just open it its when i spin it and close it again that it loses its touch.

Any ideas as to what might be wrong would be appreciated. ill try the suggestion above anyway.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan230:
Hi guys.

My problem is that my toch screen seems not to respond any more.

I flashed some ROMs using lollipop bootloader, i flashed it like its's descripted here i used the files for the XT1068, which im owning at the moment.

Then i flashed a Rom which is needing lollipop bootloader to boot, like the latest CM 12 nightly builds or Team UB Rom.

The Rom is booting well, but if i want to do something the touch screen does not respond when I'm typing on it.

Also if i want to restore my nandroid backup using TWRP 2.8.6.0 the touch screen isn't responding, so that i dont think it's a rom related problem.

I hope someone can help resolving my issue. If you need any more information please ask.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranshubatra707:
Same problem here.. I know you have to update your bootloader as told by everyone but I also updated my bootloader from the stock lollipop files and then flashed CyanHacker-v3.0-NIGHTLY and then it ended up in a bootloop plus the touchscreen went non responding in the recovery also.. I had to restore to stock to end this problem.. Anyone with a solution? Can't install new cm12 roms now :(

hi all im having an extremely strange problem I have looked all over the internet for a solution and haven't found one so the problem is I connected my xperia z1 to a magnetic charger the wrong way immediately went off. left it charging via usb port and it works again but now it has a strange problem when I connect it to my charger the screen randomly turns on and off and if I turn it off it enters a bootloop until I press the red button then everything goes back to normal. but if I turn it on a gain and connect a usb charger the same thing will happen so I don't know what to do any help would come in handy

I recently upgraded to lollipop rom using #niaboc79 prerooted lollipop firmware here http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-d6503-23-1-0-690-bal-rooted-t3057150

This update feels more fluid and awesome though with few minor bugs. But one issue that bothers me most, as all who tried this new lollipop will testify, is the sound level on this rom, most importantly in-call volume way too low.

I wish I knew which file to modify at least for only the in-call volume. This was possible in kit Kat.

Any ideas? suggestions are most welcome, I need your inputs please.

Thanks in advance.

Till now there has been not many sound MODs for Lollipop Z2. But you can give a shot at this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3067061.

If it helps, gr8! oter den that, you have to wait for the devs to come out with LP mods as I believe they are all building/creating the transition to LP.

Soon there will be more options. for now, the above is the only option.

[Networking] y2jasper:
So I'm having a very odd problem ever since I upgraded my router and modem earlier this week, which so far only seems to be affecting HTC One M8 phones (because haven't been able to test others).

So last weekend I bought a brand new modem and set it up, and a few days later i bought a refurbished router from Amazon and set that up too. While setting up the router I connected my M8 to the wifi network (had not connected to the wifi after buying the modem), and soon noticed that my phones location was changed to Denver, Colorado...instead of New Jersey where I actually live. Because of that, it gives me the time, weather, and directions from CO. After messing around with the settings on my phone, I found that if I go to the location settings and change the mode I can temporarily correct it. Basically if i change the mode to "Device Only" it will be correct; but if I change to either of the other 2 settings (high accuracy or battery saving), it ends up incorrect again. I also had a bunch of friends over today, and the ones who connected their phones to my network also faced the same issue (unfortunately they also had M8's, and wasn't able to verify with anyone using a different phone).

So as far as I can tell, something about my router/modem makes it think its in CO, and if my phone tries to connect to wifi networks to find its location, it will forget where it actually is. I haven't seen something like this before and can't seem to find anything on google either...Does anyone have a possible solution?
[Networking] BertHodge:
I guess the MAC of your router is still mapped to another place on earth In Google's database.

Get a GPS fix while connected to your wifi. Maybe this will trigger an update in the location database.

Do you have a N4 snapdragon or Exynos?
[One (M9) General] jah:
I have a Note 4 using Snapdragon and Note Edge with Exynos. I haven't compared with the Edge but from memory the head amp on the M9 seems better.
[One (M9) General] vegetaleb:
From what I understood on Head-Fi about earphones audio quality:

N4 Snapdragon < M8/M9 < N4 Exynos

Exynos has a pretty good Wolfson DAC
[One (M9) General] jah:
You can by an external DAC for £25 which gets close to Wolfson. The Samsung head amp is not as good as the one in the M9. Don't know how Dolby compares to Wolfson. I'll need to do some extended comparison listening. But the M9 sounds better to me than the M8.
[One (M9) General] avara:
I can second that. Switched from M8 to M9 and the amp is much better with a sound much louder and more true to a real music experience (instruments sound precise, lots of great mediums and bass). You can tweak the boomsound for different types of headphones as well.
[One (M9) General] aethelbert:
The M9 is also subjectively better than the M8 in some areas. M8 beats it slightly in Distortion and noise but the M9 sounds better, why?

Most important to me is the incredibly low stereo crosstalk, which is the lowest I've seen on a mobile phone, even lower than the Wolfson. IIRC, the Wolfson gets a respectable but not quite as good ~-85 or so.

[One (M9) General] Reyde Viscerous:
I was kind of surprised to see this, really. The DAC is on the Snapdragon 810 in this case right? I don't suppose anyone happens to know which one it is?
[One (M9) General] aethelbert:
Could it be that HTC use their own DAC? Or is it built into the SoC?

jetAudio Plus is better than poweramp, but if you can be bothered to set it up correctly, neutron beats them all.
[One (M9) General] slipudatung:
It does come down to what the user determines as 'quality'. For me it's about getting a flawless, distortion free v shape. For this I use JetAudio and installed the AM3D plugin to get that bass rumbling.

I have Vmoda m100's so you probably guessed I'm all about that bass, about that bass... Some treble. ?

That said, I found I could get a 'better' v shape from my M8 than my M9. I will continue to tinker but so far I prefer m8 audio, albeit only slightly.
[One (M9) General] theguitarman94:
Could just be me, not sure if Bluetooth 4.1 has higher quality audio capabilities but audio through Bluetooth sounds less muddy than the m8.
[One (M9) General] davidtm0:
I was a little disappointed that Dolby isn't available through BT, but it still sounds

much

better than my M7 did listening to music on BT. Now, it's good enough that the quality of the source material is a significant issue sometimes! :)
[One (M9) General] jah:
Agreed but still not as good as aptx
[One (M9) General] Prasad:
Everyone mentions how Neutron is the best player "if set up correctly"... could anyone mention what settings work for you with Neutron on this phone?
[One (M9) General] augie7107:
I'm guessing most would say its a matter of personal preference. Neutron has a ton of customization possibilities and spending the time to tweak them to your liking is the key.
[One (M9) General] jauhien:

Doesn't M9 support apt-x? M8 actually did.

Theoretically, M9 would consistently support apt-x as well.

I'm gonna do some test when I get home then.
[One (M9) General] ryanjsoo:
The DAC decodes the sound file and converts it to an analog signal, most phones now have pretty great DACs and all flagships will have the same one, the DAC built into the Snapdragon 810 soc, excluding Samsung who use a Woflson Micro DAC. However this signal then goes to an amp which has its own impact on the sound, a bad amp introducing distortion and noise, and colouring the sound signature, etc. HTC`s typically sound good because they integrate their own custom class D amp into the chipset, much like the Sony ZX1 music player and whilst an iPod nano might contain a higher quality Wolfson or Cirrus DAC, its low quality amp will degrade the sound being fed into your headphones resulting in a blander, softer sound. The amp is as important as the DAC and HTC seem to have a well integrated DAC, measuring well as a testament to that fact. However since HTC feed more power into the amp it introduces background hiss as it seems to be a relatively high gain amp providing more volume, punch and dynamics but a little more background noise than lower gain amps.
[One (M9) General] MetalxAssassinx:
Man, you saved me with this cause i too love bass, gonna buy myself an m8 rather than m9 :)
[One (M9) General] ronii1123:
Before settling on the M8 you might want to consider headphones and what sort of sound they output, like my AKG K240 MKII's have a more balanced sound, with not much give to either warm or cool sound, with much punchier bass then boom and rumble, and usually no matter the source, it doesn't get very boomy. So that is something you should consider, check out reviews. Maybe consider some headphones that are meant for that. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I do like quality sound so I like to think I have some knowledge X)
[One (M9) General] paul_59:
I would suggest auditioning either phone with a set of Ultrasone Pro 900 if you're partial to bass whilst maintaining quality reproduction .
[One (M9) General] th3:
The gain and hiss is very loud and clearly perceptible on my unit. And I really mean that. Sadly, it's very poor next to the M8.

HTC replied that they don't see a problem but I could return the unit to try another.
[One (M9) General] avara:
If you hear a 'hiss' maybe you left the Dolby audio mode to 'theater' mode. It is great for videos and modern music but when listening to classic there is that 'hiss' you're talking about. Using the 'music' mode, you will have less surround experience but no hiss at all.
[One (M9) General] th3:
I've tried all the modes - the hiss is through headphones only. It's strong background noise, like a blown sub usually has :/

Hi all

I have a XT1032 that I purchased from the Orange online store last year. I decided to give the official Lollipop update a go but I'm really not liking it. I want to revert back to either the stock 4.4.4 ROM or possibly a custom 4.4.4 ROM.

So far I've unlocked the bootloader on my device with no issues but I'm having some trouble flashing a custom recovery.

I've tried flashing the latest TWRP for MotoG (http://teamw.in/devices/motorolamotog2013.html) using fastboot but when I try to boot into the recovery the device just switches off. I also tried with the older TWRP 2.6.3.0 release for MotoG and have the same issue, as does CWT 6.0.47

Has anyone run into this issue before? Does anyone have any advice on how to solve the problem?
