[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avant1277:
I also upgraded from a Nexus 7 2012 to a Tab S 8.4 (also got from John Lewis).

I was running Liquid Smooth Unofficial on the Nexus 7 and am now running Liquid Smooth on the Tab S. Took about an hour to root, install rom, and restore apps via TB. The Tab S is a nice step up from the Nexus 7. As others have said the main difference is the screen. I prefer the AMOLED screen and the deep blacks. Other people prefer the "truer" colour representation of the LCD screen. Whichever you choose I'm sure you'd be happy with it. Maybe there's a place with both tabs so you can try side by side?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tavocampana:
Wait to TAB S 2
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightn1ng:
Tab S is also first in line for OTAs (it has lollipop) and has some nice software enhancments :)

and xda has more support and roms for it.

[Nexus 5 General] 0nebukadnezar0:
Hi all,

I'm really disappointed from my Nexus 5, bought it in Nov. 2014, then 3 time broken due to:

- 2 x microphone not anymore functional

- screen becomes green

Now Google send me a refurbished red light Nexus 5 with a broken screen...

But ***** to the Google after sale service, they have sent a replacement device in few days.

Bye Nexus 5, my new device is a LG G3, Yes, also an LG, like the N5!
[Nexus 5 General] ast00:
The Nexus 5 is no longer in production, so any wararnty issues you might encounter will probably never get resolved. It's said, but I bought mine and realized that. I have 2 dead pixels, but the phone works, so I'm not going to take chances with a replacement.
[Nexus 5 General] zerosum0:
Think you need 3 for it to count under warrenty. I've a ton of spares for mine and a new old stock one. Its a classic and unless they bring a Nexus 5 b ill keep it

SENT BY ENTANGLEMENT
[Nexus 5 General] jetbruceli:
ha, I just purchased the nexus 5 again. I got a 32gb this time. Best phone I ever owned (except it lacked space). I moved back to it because after owning the note 4 for a bit, it was too big. Hard to handle in one hand and that is a must with a new born. Secondly, I have a Galaxy Alpha, small and great but nothing compares to a nexus. Plus M is coming and I am sure the 5 will have it years before anything other than the n6

Update!

There is now a flashable option for mere mortals! If you have a deodexed TW ROM, you can install xposed installer, flash zip, and will have xposed.

Verified it in my S4 running Muniz_ri's OC1 stock, rooted, deodexed ROM. ROM must be deodexed for this to work.

It's new, so make a backup first!

See the OP here, use the V3 version of the framework flash file:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3113463

Install Xposed installer 3.0 Alpha 2

Flash Xposed framework zip V3

Reboot, cache will rebuild

Run xposed and start adding modules.

Read up on modules, all aren't compatible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SnyderGuy:
Holy crap.

It's been sold. I have been debating heavily over the past week whether to stay on HyperdriveRLS21 KitKat or finally flash a custom Lollipop rom. Xposed is my life, and I told myself that the moment any sort of advancement of Xposed for TouchWiz_LP I would upgrade. I'll flash this Saturday to test this xposed out

(Echoe looks nice, but it seems that as of v49 the sending SMS/MMS is broken, if anyone knows of a stock-deodex I'd like a link)

Will Flashfire work for flashing this zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
No idea...I'd ask on the thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
There are issues w/some S4 variants and probably not working on our phone yet.

Kinks being worked out...i9505 issues are almost resolved according to the OP on the thread, and I'm hoping that will help for us as well, since we run i9505 kernels and ROMs w/some mods.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
As I already said, working perfectly for me. Stock, rooted, deodexed OC1 ROM from Muniz_ri in the Android dev section here.

Follow the steps in the OP in the thread I linked to. Install the Xposed installer, flash the framework file (use V3).

Reboot after flashing the framework zip will rebuild your cache and then you can use Xposed as usual.

Not all modules are lollipop compatible!

Remember, requires deodexed ROM.

Are you guys having any problems with stereo sound quality playback or

sound quality (both ends) during calls?

I'm getting a black Jawbone for handling calls but I would like to be able to

listen to music or watch video on the commute to and from work without

having the 'train/subway' in my head.

Is the S9 from Motorola good at pairing up with the Hermes (X01HT in my

case) and holding the connection? Do all the remote features on the S9 headset

work with the S9/Hermes pairing?

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] truciet:
hey man. the s9 are great...the best stereo headset hands down! its like jaw dropping. the controls on the side is very sensitive. its not like an actually button besides the talk/end button. the audio controls are like touch control. HOWEVER, the actual headset for phone calls is horrible...most stereo headsets use both sides to listen to the caller...however this one only allows hearing the caller on the LEFT ear...that is the only downside. if you're coming from the jawbone...it is night and day...but for music/video purposes its great. i use it for my ipod now :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
Cool, I was worried about stereo sound quality over BT since BT isn't known

for great sound quality to begin with. I have heard that the S9 are only

average for calls but that's going to be the Jawbone's job.

So all the button features like answer/end, volume up/down, play/pause

and forward/back tracks all work with the Hermes based phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Radimus:
I love the S9. the audio and the controls all work wonderfully.

The phone aspect isn't really good, it picks up a lot of background noise and it can be a bit difficult to annunciate into it.

As a music headset it is GREAT. great sound. Louder than it needs to be and great frequency range
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] roboHaxx:
I use the S9 quite a bit. The sound quality is fantastic and the volume can get quite loud. You'll often see me at starbucks listening to streaming internet radio with my S9/8525.

As far as call quality, it's not too bad. you only get call audio out of the left earbud, since the mic is in the right one. There's pretty good compression going on with the mic, so you really don't have to raise your voice at all. However, callers on the other end complain about background sound if I'm in a noisy place, so use it accordingly.

( I use the JawBone also, especially for long calls where background noise would be unacceptable. )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
Louder than needed is always better than "I wish it could be louder". I was

hoping that it would not be underpowered. Thanks for bringing that point up

as I didn't read that in any of the online reviews out there. Plus, I always

think those reviews aren't so 'real life' anyways. Here on XDA-developers

you get the 'actual real life' reviews with no worries that someone is getting

paid to prop the product up for profit.

Call quality is a concern but I figured into that an ordered a Jawbone based

on the great reviews its received here on XDA.

Thanks for your input.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
It's really good to hear that the S9 is NOT underpowered volume wise. :)

You can always turn it down but it really does suck when the sound is weak.

I would figure some of that loudness maybe due to what looks like a really

good fit (seal) of the headset to the ear causing a good block of surrounding

sounds.

It's too bad about call quality because that is usually one of Motorola only

strong points in most of their products. Oh well, I guess the other one being

looks has been achieved with the S9.

The background noise issue is the same reason I'm getting the Jawbone. I

have had the same complaint with the OEM wired headset that came with

the X01HT. People just don't want to talk to you when it gets hard to

understand you. Plus it really just doesn't help if you're trying to handle

a situation that needs no extra stress added like that loud background

noise. It's too bad because the caller's voice comes in nice and clear through

those OEM stereo headsets. Sometimes it's kind of creepy because it's too

clear and it sounds as if they're right in your head. ;)

Thanks for your input.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] guamlaw:
I had the s9 for about a month. It was great for music and video via Coreplayer. No skipping on my 8525 with the lastest rom. Call quality was decent, but I bought it for the music. Now, the bad news, my S9 just died on me a couple days ago and wouldn't charge. I finally got it to work ,sortof, but the controls on the right side don't respond. Called Motorola and got a return authorization. Will be sending it back. Hope it was just a fluke. Just some info. With coreplayer the S9 controls play/pause skip/ff didn't work. But volume and phone control worked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
Did you buy direct from Motorola? I just placed an order from an 'online shop'

so I hope I don't have any problems down the road. If I do, I hope I can deal

with MOTO directly since they 'sometimes' tend to be a bit more on the ball.

Plus most online shops will tell you to go directly to the manufacturer to deal

with warranty issues anyways so you never know who's handling warranty. :(

Good luck with the warranty exchange and I hope it all works out for you.

Thanks for the heads up on the non-functioning buttons with Coreplayer. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Radimus:
I did want to point out a few details before I posted my review of them over at mobilitysite

Pro: USB charging... 1 cable to rule them all

Pro: only 1 blinking light, relatively subdued and it is facing the back of your neck while worn

Pro: will turn itself off after an hour if I fall asleep or an otherwise careless

Con: my fat fingers aren't really sensitive enough to find the little controls while worn

Con: it doesn't quite feel right on my big fat head... don't know if it is because it has to spread out a bit to get around my head or if I'm just not used to it. In any case it is very secure and isn't going to slip off.

Con: No way of determining battery life.. is it good for an hour or 8 hours?

Con: not quite flexible enough to store or a clip for a lanyard, although it is an easy fix to tie something to it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
Thanks for breaking it down into pros vs cons.

I did not know that the S9 would shut it self down after an hour of inactivity.

That's cool since it should extent battery life a bit. The blinking LED is

hopefully not too noticeable by others, I hope.

Yeah, I've heard that the buttons can be a bit of a pain to deal with simply

because of the way they are made. I guess I'll just see how I rate in finger

size when I get these S9s sometime next week according to the website I

ordered them from.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] guamlaw:
I bought my S9 from an online shop as well, so i'm hoping that motorola wont give me a hard time when I turn it in for repair. In the meangtime I just ordered a sony hbh-ds-970 as a backup.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
It's going to be Christmas in June for me when the Jawbone and the S9 arrive

this week and next week. :) Hopefully I won't have trouble with either one

of them because warranty returns are such a PITA. :(

S9 - Not perfect, but very nice

The Motorola S9 is a really nice little headset.

I find it a bit weak on bass, but I’m coming from a Motorola V3i (non-iTunes) with Motorola wired USB stereo headset, and that is one of the most impressive low cost sets of ear buds I’ve ever worn. Not sure how they did that! Note that Motorola wired USB headsets do NOT work on the Hermes, which is a shame, because the HTC wired headset is real junk.

The only glitchy things I’ve seen so far with the S9 and the Hermes / 8525 are:

After hanging up a call, music resumes, but sometimes skips badly for 10-20 seconds. A couple times pressing answer has given only a hum in the left ear, and no ability to talk or listen. Hopefully, the final versions of the Win Mob 6 Bluetooth stack will take care of this.

The S9 ships with 2 different sets of rubber “nubs” to cover the speakers. The default ones that come installed are small, and can be removed and rotated to really direct the sound into your ear as best as possible for different sizes and shapes of ears. In a little bag, you will find a spare set of the default nubs, but ALSO a larger set that have a very soft rubber membrane that floats over a harder rubber inner tube. Some users may find these more comfortable, as they do not intrude into your ear as far.

Personally, I don’t mind the fact that it switches to left ear only for voice calls, I’ve never been all that keen on that “you’re inside my head” sensation of stereo headsets when used for monaural voice.

Remember that on a stock Cingular ROM with Win Mob 5, this headset will basically sound like “mono”, not stereo, but that’s not Motorola’s fault, it's M$'s atrocious BT stack!

Good points:

- really, REALLY light, yet stays in place no matter what

- AV and phone controls work properly with HTC Hermes & Windows Mobile

- Rubber ear nubs direct sound into your ears without need for itchy foam covers

- Really soft touch activation of volume and FF/REW buttons (prevents displacment of the headset while adjusting the most common controls)

Not so good points:

- No indication of how much battery charge is left

- A little weak on bass response

- Not enough tactile difference to easily distinguish between play and answer buttons vs volume and FF/REW buttons

- Picks up room noise really badly in phone mode - works best in quiet(er) locations.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
Thanks for your review. You filled a few more of the blanks that I was trying

to figure out. I hope the bass response won't be an issue for me but then

again I like to 'feel' my bass and these are just headphones so I don't expect

be getting 'rocked' by them is what I'm telling myself long before they arrive.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
:eek: OMG!!! :eek: BASS and lots of it!!! I am using GSPlayer with the sound settings

VERY tweaked to my taste and even with BassBoost at minimum I am getting

more bass then I would have imagined possible with a BT stereo headset.

Of course you must have really good, clean 192KBps or better MP3s to begin

with and if you ripped them yourself at 320KBps, then you're just enjoying

better then can be expected results with a BT stereo headset.

Me likely! :cool:

Once I manage to wipe the stupid smile off my face I will be back to

update my findings for anyone still on the fence thinking about getting

one of these Motorola S9's and needing a slight shove. :)

I put on the large silicon ear fittings and the bass is incredible.

With the latest ROM's and improved BT drivers I am now able to leave the phone next to the wall about 12 feet behind the basketball goal and shoot pro 3-pointers all day without skipping a beat. And that's while streaming with iPlay from my desktop at home. The microphone isn't the best but if someone calls you can talk, get rid of them, and get back to shooting and jamming in no time. We're getting there...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] shogunmark:
i have had mine for about a week now... Music quality is amazing, and as mentioned, the bass is incredible.. however i am really disappointed in the mic quality. I wish i could find a similiar type headset that didnt suck for calls :( i would be willing to give mine up or trade/sell for a headset that was as good as this musically and had a good mic..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
YUP! I also put those "HUGE" silicon ear fittings on that came with the S9 and

I'm getting the nightclub bass thumpin' along in my head. :cool:

It's just too bad that I still can't figure out a way to get sound through the

S9s when watching a movie on my handset. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
I feel your pain there as I just love the sound quality of the S9 for shutting

out the rest of the world on the commute but as Mr. T would say "I pity the

fool"... listening to me on the other end. Well okay Mr. T wouldn't say all

that but it does suck as a headset for making/receiving calls. After all the

great reviews here on XDA-developers for the Jawbone and the S9 I kind of

figured that it was going to be a two BT headset purchase.

Wouldn't it be sweet if Aliph (the makers of the Jawbone) made a stereo BT

headset that had the Jawbone's great call quality and the S9's awesome

stereo sound.

Aliph, are you listening? ;)

I'd buy that! :)

AE!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] shogunmark:
i would love a headset like that... i really hate the idea of having to buy another headset to use for talking... However, people that i have talked stated they noticed a difference depending on which rubber pieces i was using, if i use the big ones (which work best for music) then people complain of it being muffled and hard to hear me, however if i use the smaller ones people claim they can hear me better, but the quality is still poor...

and as someone mentioned before, if you have big fat head like i do, these can get a little uncomfy...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] AquiEsta!:
My wife says the S9's on her end of the call when I'm using the fat, bass

plugs (as I call them) sounds as if I calling from under a mattress, "flat and

squished sounding", hmmm. Haven't tried the regular S9 ear fittings because

I just love the bass too much and people just shouldn't be calling me when

I'm listening to my tunes. :rolleyes:

I guess my nogging isn't too large because I tend to forget I have them on

unless I look waaaaaay up and then they sort of almost pop off my ears. :eek:

movie playing isn't good

I'm using the S9 with a trinity device. Playing movies with BT stereo doesn't work very well. It appears that the BT stereo needs a lot of CPU power so it therefore make movies jerky and unwatchable at times. I'm going to try reducing the movie quality and therefore cpu power to improve this.

It might be better on the Hermes but if you plan to use the S9 primarily for watching movies then you might be dissappointed. Otherwise I'm fairly happy with it. Using it for voice calling is a no-go for me. My friends can't hear me most of the time and my mother who is losing her hearing can't hear me at all.

If there is any non-hardware noise cancelling solution out there it might help.

The sweet spot for this device is at the gym to listen to music where you can just put your phone down and wander around the machines etc.
