[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coraz:
Hi, I just bought a universal USB OTG cable, and used it to connect a 32 GB pen drive (FAT32 filesystem) to my OPO (05Q, rooted). At first it apparently detected it, but since the drive was totally empty I had no way to confirm that, so I unplugged the drive and connected it to my PC, and put some videos on it. The computer gave a me a list of files with strange simbols as name, but I thought it was something done by the phone, given the presence of the directories "Android" and "LOST.DIR" (even though I wasn't allowed to open them). Then, I plugged the drive back to the phone, and it was detected without any problem, but it was completely empty, and not even a single bit of data could be found anywhere. I repeated the process three times, always with the same results. Does someone have a solution for this annoying issue?

Thank you very much.

Edit: Problem solved, it was an issue of the USB drive.

Hey everyone,

I bought a Tmobile S5 off Swappa. All is working great except one minor thing. My camcorder volume is so low I can barely hear my recordings. This happens on Stock and CM 12.1 ROMS. Call volume is fine.

I have a Spigen Tough Armor case on the phone if that matters
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swimguy14:
Well have you reproduced the mic volume issue sans case?

After youve done that and ruled out the case being of issue, check that you arent partially blocking either of the mics with part of your hand or finger(s)...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webguy0822:
Thanks for your response. I reflashed the stock rom and it appears to work now. So it was probably a CM issue.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepporony:
Interruption mode?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadram:
[MENTION=2805325]pepporony[/MENTION]: yup

There's a relatively easy way to do it.

1- Go to Settings> Sound & Notification> Interruptions> Priority Only

In here, you customize the settings for the Priority Only mode (see point 3-)

2- Check Incoming Calls and uncheck the rest (or however you want it set up)

3- Back to home screen, bring down the notification panel, tap on All Interruptions, which will turn to Priority Only.

Done.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xymay:
it works, :good:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makster:
Alternatively, you can set system sounds to silent (settings -> sounds -> volume). That includes notifications, annoying boot noise and audio touch feedback.

I don't know what else it turns off, but whatever it is, I don't miss it.:)

With this approach you can keep the priorities logic intact.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jmacguire:
I recently replaced the LED/glass/digitizer assembly of my E980, US version phone. The wi-fi antenna on the left side of the housing came loose near the bottom. It turns out that the connector was still in place but the wire was torn loose.

I see there are two connectors: one for the antenna already with the phone and then another smaller one next to it. Is the smaller one active? I have extra antenna cables from my Galaxy S4, but I just want to make sure that before I try it, that the port is actually active and not just a female connector that is a place holder for overseas variants of the phone.

Thanks very much.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcorey:
Here's my little story. I dropped my N5 and cracked the screen. It worked, but I wanted it to be pretty again. So I bought a screen/case and proceeded to do the swap. I watched several videos, read guides, etc and followed them step-by-step. After it was done, I was surprised how smoothly everything went. I then went to power it up and got nothing. I checked all the cable connections, reseated them, and still got nothing. I put everything back with the cracked screen. Still nothing. I check the cables carefully, there are no cracks or breaks in them. I left it on the charger all night and the next day, checking periodically, still nothing. I checked the battery connector with a multimeter, and it was getting a reading off it, so the thing must be receiving power, right? Anyway, I gave up for a few days, busy with the rest of life.

I came back to it one day, plugged it into the charger and this time I got the red blinking light. I searched around, and that seems to indicate the battery had lost it's charge completely. Again I charged it overnight, still nothing. I got adventurous and removed the battery and tried powering it with just the power cable plugged in. This time it displayed the charge full battery/lightning icon. Success! I hit power and it starts to boot, displays the Google logo, then shut down after maybe five seconds. So, it must be getting power through the system from the USB port. The mainboard/cpu/screen works, it's able to start booting. It even boots to the bootloader, keys work there.

Again I turned to the problem being the battery. I picked up another, thinking perhaps mine had gone bad somehow even though I never had a bit of trouble out of it (about 1.5 years old). I played with it some more, with either battery inside, it doesn't do anything. Without a battery, it starts to boot but gives up. Hoping I could get something from the bootloader, I plugged it into my PC, but the USB port doesn't seem to provide enough juice to get it back to the bootloader with no battery.

Finally, during one of my tests, I plugged in the battery while it had the charging cable in. Then it popped up the battery charging animation. Exciting! It must be successfully charging, now. Previously, it didn't display anything when I charged it for many hours. Now it's been charging about six hours. The battery animation still shows it filling from the bottom, usually it would blink the animation from like halfway to the top, right? I hold the power button, and the battery animation disappears and it goes dead yet again. I run the same tests, battery in, battery out and get the same results. It boots when there's no battery and the charging cable in, nothing when the battery is in with or without the charging cable.

So, here I am stuck again. Any other ideas? Thanks.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xd4d3v:
Hi guys.

I just realised (this is probably not news for averyone else)

that the ZU is in the list of official AOSP support, including 5.1 and an M preview.

The one in the Sony website needs to be compiled, but is there any zip I can easily flash to my phone using the custom recovery?

Also, will this rom be able to update automatically?

thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
Unfortunately no, you must compile it yourself. The closest firmware to AOSP is the Scrubber's port of GP edition ROM, which with root + Xposed + GravityBox is a perfect ROM, using it for a week now and I won't change it until Android M port from GP edition ;) Hovewer, today (I hope) I am going to compile a Android M build for ZU, if you are interested I can host it somewhere.

Regards
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] xd4d3v:
please do!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
Okay, I will try, fingers already crossed :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
Building guys, so far no errors :D I think it will be ready in an hour, then I will host it on my Gdrive :)

I wanted to ask the same thing, i's a big learning curve for a noob like me. That's awesome that somebody with nowledge can compile it and share, me and my friend want to try it out, especially for Dose and Storage Inherit functions :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
It is still compiling which is good and bad, good because it indicates there are no errors :D and bad because I probably won't make it today but I will host it as soon as I can and give you guys a link ;)

Regards

EDIT:

Finished :D uploading ^^

EDIT 2:

Okay guys, here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4TtJUVLy_SlZ3NDUDVOVk5XaWs/view?usp=sharing

Flash everything except userdata.img, it will wipe all your data, including internal memory, so photos and stuff will be gone but if you don't care about them, you can flash it as well. Before install, wipe data in TWRP or other recovery. Flash using fastboot:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (not necessary)

fastboot flash data userdata.img (not necessary if you wiped data in recovery)

Of course, I am not responsible for broken Ultras etc. and it is only for unlocked bootloaders. I haven't tested it because of low battery but it should boot without any hiccups. Happy flashing! ;)

Regards
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IGnoTon:
Just flashed it. Okay, just at first glance I can say that it's totally not worth trying for you guys.

for me the Bluetooth Exchange is crashing constantly, very annoying.

the whole system is barebones as expected.

camera doesnt work at all, there is no SIM reception.

not exactly a daily driver, nice to see it booting, but that's that :)

EDIT:

Also I feel a bit cheater on by Sony.

This looks nothing like M build on Nexus devices, it even says Lollipop on the easteregg :(

No new features from M in settings. So, what is this, Sony lied?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
Yup, at the first glance I thought that this is a Lollipop, exactly nothing new.

Bluetooth exchange crashed for me a few times but it stopped somehow and really, this thing is far from the M Preview from Nexus devices, I am a bit disappointed too :(

[Android General] RobbH:
I'm looking for a phone that can do a respectable job of recording audio, preferably in stereo, in all sorts of settings, including loud environments, using its built-in microphones. I once had a Sony Xperia Pro that produced acceptable results (I'd rate it 3 out of 5) but everything else I've tried is miserable. The microphones are easily overloaded and recordings are mostly distortion.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the subject. I found one article that may or may not be authoritative. It suggests that Windows Phones are the only ones equipped with the necessary hardware. It has some faint praise for three Android phones, but not exactly an overwhelming endorsement for any of them.

I'd appreciate any comments on those suggestions, and any other suggestions. Is there anything out there that can compete with the Microsoft (formerly Nokia) HAAC (High Amplitude Audio Capture) technology?

Edit: Noooo! This was supposed to be in the Q&A forum, not general. I obviously wasn't paying attention. Moderators, please move or just delete.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] showlyshah:
I have been searching for Z2 quick charging, and find out that z2 have quick charging enabled only on Japanese model ( SO-03F) (and it have a 32 gb internal memory). And qualicom itself says that z2 support quick charge 2.0. ( well dont get confused over the terms quick charge and fast charge ( fast charging = 5v @ amps over 1 amp, possibly 5v@ 1.5 - 2 Amp and Quick charge 2.0 = 9/12 v at 1.5- 2amp, higher voltages).

I have tried with note 4 quick charger on z2 6503, but it charges in normal mode. So sony have possibly dissabled quick charge 2 on other varients of Z2 (why sony... Why!!!). But since hardwares of Japanese model and other region's models are possibly same ( except radio and memory???, or are they locked, since radio unlocking can be done in all sony phones), i think that the same quick charge chip is used in international models and possibly locked down.with software, may be we can enable it via some tricks???

My idea is:-

1) cross flash SO-03F FIRMWARE ON INTERNATIONAL MODEL

2) dissassemble kernal and other hardware drivers along with scripts ( cross matching them) and find out where the code is hidden/dissabled and copy that to use with international models.

So any possible idea, thoughts,disaster report is welcome.

I have 90% confidence in this, i need help and reports from kernel developers, can you guys just cross check the kernel of SO-03F with international varient like 6503?

Hope we can find it out since we have made great things like 4k and slow-motion port for z1, which is a different phone, but in this case 99% of hardware is same.

So pls help to dig this out..
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Jackos:
I'm quite sure the QuickCharge is enabled somewhere in the kernel.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] showlyshah:
May be... But we dont know yet...
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Jackos:
Basically, if you turn off a QC2.0 device and plug in the charger it still is going to charge at full speed. This means it has to be the kernel. Unless it uses some external drivers from the system, but I don't think that's the case here.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] showlyshah:
So u saying that quick charge still works when phone is off?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Jackos:
Well, I don't have a Z3 or a Z2 variant to test it, but I'm quite sure it does.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] showlyshah:
Any previous experience with any quick charge devices? Welll so we need the help of a kernel developer.. Seriously i have very lil knowledge about kernel development.. But i will look for sources to compare..

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] chawlasrijan:
Thank you for this thread, i would like to add something

The official indian website of Sony lists a fast charging mobile charger compatible for the Z2 http://www.sonymobile.com/in/products/accessories/quick-charger-ep881/

& i bought it, but it doesn't do anything as it claims.

Now i may be a little skeptical but i think that as i bought my device from China through ebay, maybe thats why im missing this feature.

P.S. The power output of the charger is 12W which makes it total legit as a quickcharger
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] showlyshah:
Check the volatge and amp description of that charger, if it is 5 v @ some "x" amp, then its just normal charger with high capacy. Not quick charge 2.0, but if its 9 or 12 v its a quick charger.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Haldi4803:
EP881 is not UCH10 is. Link: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/quick-charger-uch10/

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Cirra92:
QuickCharge is enabled by default, so no tricks with kernel needed.

But, as I found out reading on xda, you also need compatible CABLE to be able to use quick charging. Apparently the standard data cables cannot push enough current through them. The compatible cable (which ships with some of the newer devices) is labeled as EC 802. And as far as I understood any cable which has those cylinders behind both ports on the cable, can do the job.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Haldi4803:
Uhm, what kind of cylinders?

If you mean those 1.5cm in diameter plastic coated things on both ends of the cable after the connector, thats simply Lead to reduce electromagnetic interference or such a thing. I have a cable with those USB 1.1 that's about 8-12 years old.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] showlyshah:
Guys pls dont try to suggest things if u dont know what are you talking about.. I did say its quick charge 2. Not fast charging or rapid charging or lighting charing or what ever... Quick charging is a new method adopeted by qualicom.. Its not about amp ratings.. Its a method through which battery is charged with more watts/hr. And its the voltage increase that does the trick, not current. I have said the difference in op post...!!!! I wish some development should be happen, not just talking..
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Haldi4803:
Well well well..... Is it physically even possible for the non Japanese version? Maybe they've put another VRM on the PCB on the SO-03 revision which can handle 9v, and the international version does have an older chip?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Cirra92:
I forgot to say any newer cable, surely not those 10y old. Try to do a research on quick charging, I really don't know much about it, but I have found some posts where people tested different cables with aftermarket quick chargers (those approved by Qualcomm) and confirmed that not all of them will work, specifically EC802 does, bot not 801 and 803 (which I have).

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

I know the basic difference, I have just shared that I have found info about cable compatibility, not just the charger itself. No need to be upset about it, I was just trying to help, dear God.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] chawlasrijan:
If any one of the members want to know the basics of quick charging and similar technology for our devices, read this article by androidpolice

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...-need-to-know-about-charging-your-smartphone/
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] showlyshah:
Well one thing that is missed in the artcle... I will explain.

Normaly most rapid chargers/fast chargers ( not quick charger 2.0) like my sony oem Ep 880 which came bundled with z2( rated 5v@1500ma = 7.5 w) and samsung model Eta-u90IWE which i use on my z2 normally ( rated 5v@2000ma = 10 w) can charge z2 fastly ( using a belkin 2.5 mts usb cable) but neither is quick charger 2.0.

There are other oem chargers which are rated at 3amps or even 4.5 amps like asus transformer pad charger ( ie 5v at 3amp=15w or 5v at 4.5amp= 22.5w) but then too those are not quick chargers 2.0, since that article says that anything above 15(or18) watts is a quick charger 2.0, there will be a chance of miss conception.

Let me clear it, quick charging 2.0 chargers charge phone with higher voltage and below or equall to 2amps, thats how the wattage rating increses ( 9v @2 amps= 18 w 12v @2 amp = 24w) so be sure to check the volatge before choosing a quick charger. Any currents above 1.5 will do the trick if u have 9/12 v chager.
