Speakers: upper one next to frontcam has more "loudness" than lower one on music

Sorry for my englsih,

seems that the upper speaker has more loudness/bass than the lower one.

Not that it is much louder but it sounds "fuller", the lower one a bit thinner.

Are there minimal differneces between the speakers as the upper one is the one for phone calls and a kind of "primary" maybe?

Have no compare device so I just liked to ask here.

Thx
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
I experience this on my z5 E6653, but assumed it was because the bottom speaker is in a different position internally because the micro USB has to be able to fit.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkrockfan:
Well, been searching for a teardown too and it looked like different speakers, not that good to view, but maybe.

Anyway, since that it is "no stereo" stereo? :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicsr2cool:
There's another thread on here somewhere about this. Most people were reporting there top speaker being louder. My bottom one is a bit louder. There is an xposed module that adjusts stereo volume by channel so if you're rooted there is hope.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkrockfan:
Well its not louder, its "fatter" volume, more bass.

Store told me thats fine as only the upper one is made for bass, so they should be both at same volume, mine are, but the one next to USB sounds thinner at same volume.

So all fine with that as long as they are equal loud.

Seems as my ATT S7E Silver from AT&T came with an unlocked bootloader, I am able to enable OEM Mode.

If anyone has any methods to fully check if it's unlocked please lmk, not sure if this is some sort of glitch or something?

My S7 Edge is my first Samsung phone. Can anyone tell me what makes something like FlashFire a last resort? What is wrong with it as a root method?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] s8freak:
Because it isn't a root method.

FlashFire is an excellent application/pseudo recovery that allows one to back up/flash certain Roms and mods.

There isn't root for the G935A yet and there might not be one keep your fingers crossed

Yeah, my S5 from at&t has a locked bootloader and I'm rooted. I have to use OA1 bootloader though for it to work. Everything else is using OF3.

I think each time I get a phone that root will never happen and it always eventually happens. The S7 seems like it's selling like hotcakes, so I'm confident that one of the genius's here will figure it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] theneighbor:
If you require root, don't buy carrier branded phones. Mainly ATT and Verizon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] xjimmy:
Where did that person say "I require root"? I'm...pretty sure they were wondering about the oem switch in the settings, because it's a curious thing. Besides, what if they want to root their at&t or Verizon phone? Maybe it's a younger person whose parents got the phone for them. Maybe they couldn't just shell out eight hun for an international phone. Maybe they're just learning about rooting after buying their phone. Maybe they just want to root their at&t phone & so what? You know, the odds are there will be root early on for the s7 on all variants, and then they'll patch the exploit, so... Anyway, your comment just seems kinda douchey.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] theneighbor:
I think you're reading too much into one sentence on an internet based forum. Clearly, since you took time out of your day to try an counsel me with a paragraph of verbiage suggesting that I was somehow patronizing the original post. I was simply suggesting that carriers such as AT&T and Verizon are making it increasingly difficult on users to have full control over their phones, which, of course, ties into bootloader unlocking, etc. A poor attempt on your part to try and do the job of a forum moderator, obviously. Let's keep it on topic please ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] xjimmy:
This is a thread regarding the oem switch and whether or not the BOOTLOADER is unlocked when activating it. Then you added your snotty two cents about "if you require root," which is way off topic, and made you sound like an a******. Then you allude to me being off topic? Nah, man, nah. If I misinterpreted what you were attempting to express, it's because your critical thinking is sub-par, and you should think clearly about what you're going to write before doing so. But that's really not the case and you know it. You jump to conclusions too. I'm not attempting to moderate, I'm just calling you out on your s***. A hard pill to swallow, a difficult reflection to face. Now you want to be nasty with me; That's cool.

I just got a bogo on at&t for two s7 edge phones. I don't "require root," but I sure hope it becomes available. Got two vr gears, and two 64gb micro sd's free when I did the deal at bestbuy. I think root will happen, but to get back to topic, I doubt that the bootloader will ever get unlocked. I just want you to know that I care, and if you need more counseling, I'm here for you. Peace.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
The switch alone doesn't unlock the bootloader even on devices that can have the bootloader unlocked. It is part of native android and I'm betting Samsung just forgot to remove/hide it.

Also it's not just the att and Verizon versions. All the US models have locked bootloaders with no unlock available.

I wish you luck but to be honest all the devs that might have been able to do it refuse to work on Samsung devices anymore. Just look at some other Samsung devices with huge bounties set. No one has done it yet.

If you need an unlocked bootloader and or root then Samsung is not the best Idea. They want to lock their devices down permanently. Which no one can really blame them as they try to break into the business market and modders make up less then 1% of their sales and shrinking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] samccfl99:
Hi, what phone would you suggest? I love my ATT S5, which is still on OC4 with a custom rom. I will own the darn thing in June (not letting ATT get their greedy grubby hands on it, I would rather step on it to death...LOL) and trying to figure out what next. It is a great phone and still pretty fast and it is almost 2 years old!!! Amazing!

I know what you are saying about Samsung. They pretty much killed the development on their phones. Renovate is working on a rom for the 935-F and even they say they can only work in smali. I would get a Nexus, but NOT without an sdcard. I do not understand why they do not have them in there. Even a 64gb internal is really not enough for system, data, music and backup (I have a 64gb sdcard).

I HATE STOCK!!! SO BUTT UGLY... :rolleyes::eek::silly::laugh::D

Yeah, I been looking at it. I need to see the custom rom development before I buy one, if I buy it. Going to save a few months of no phone pymt. Maybe later in the year the price will go down some. Also not really a fan of unpullable batteries...and who knows what will be out next.

One of the few good things about ATT is that when you have paid off your phone on the Next Plan and are on a Mobile Share Plan, they grandfather the $25 line charge discount in even if you don't buy a new phone from them. So they say...LOL. Have simm will travel? Anyway I only give my friend $40 a month being the 4th line and I will probably pay him $25 when my phone is paid off.

Have you checked out the Renovate rom? In Beta 2 now. They are supposed to start modding soon.

Maybe I can stomach Unrooted Stock for a bit (but I really need my Viper!). Will be interesting to see if the S5 will run better or worse...LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] s8freak:
Yeah I flashed Renovate Rom it's a bit buggy for me right now. I'm running Echoe Rom it's flawless.

This device has a big enough battery and now with Ex Sd card it's wonderful.

Not a lot of development but with the theme store and Xposed working I'm pleased.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
I would say if you want rom development then get a nexus. Pretty soon that will be people's only choice. And even then that maybe coming to an end with Google making fixes but not pushing the fixes to aosp.

As for the international version of the s7, development will be buggy as they always are with that chip set. Without proper documentation there will always be things that don't work like camera issues.

As for why no sdcard in the nexus. Well that is a two fold issue. One is people really are dumb. (average not users here... Ok well some) and have no idea between the 2 types. The second is people always wanting to move apps to the sdcard which is never a good idea. And then you have knock off sdcards that cause issues and people blame the device because they don't know any better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] samccfl99:
Well in past days, small internal sdcards was hardly enough. I think I might be uncomfortable with only 64gb. Also I love the portability of a sdcard. I personally, after several different ones, have one of those Sandisk Pixtor 64gb sdcards. Came out of the package formated in ExFat and I have never had a problem with it.

Was looking at a Nexus 6P. 5.7" is a bit big for me, but maybe. The 128gb version is $600. Still cheaper than a 935F, but probably not as fast. I do not know. I really only came into the rooted world (and real cell phone world) with my G900A (earlier ones not worth mentioning), so I would have a lot of learning to do...

Still do not really understand why anyone would make a high end smartphone without a sdcard!!!!!

THANKS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
To be honest I thought the same thing. Then the last 5 devices I had didn't have one and when it came down to it I noticed I really didnt need one. I have a 32gb nexus 6 and still have over half the memory free.

You would be amazed at how fast a device is without Samsung ui built in. Mind you I used Samsung devices all the way up to the s4 and then stopped like many when they lied to the devs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] s8freak:
No all S7 Edge Roms aren't buggy the one I'm on is flawless no issues at all with anything including camera.

There's just not that many devs anymore they've moved on.

I have an OPX and there's decent development on it and for the money it's a fantastic device.

Was checking out that Echoe rom site. Everything seems to be there that is needed. Still the damn 32gb phone is currently $760 for cheapest USA dealer on ebay. WHEW!!! Too bad PayPal won't do a 2 year zero interest transaction. Maybe it will come down a little in a few months. Also it seems I might be able to get as much as $200 for my G900A. Heck, I will wipe the phone and then offer them rooted OF3 or by that time, Unrooted (or dare we say Rooted) Marshmallow. Nice case, all original equipment, plus my services should be worth that much.

How come you did not like the 6P? I really do not understand how any android works WithOUT an sdcard. If you update or install something new, is there a separate partition where the extsdcard stuff goes. Backups, etc. It don't make a lick of sense to me...LOL

I guess I am going to have to drag my A$$ down to BestBuy sooner or later and at least check some phones out and touch them...LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
It's because there is already an sdcard partition on the device. It's the internal storage which is separate from the system and data partitions. You can do a full wipe without touching it unless you want to completely clean the device.

You have to remember that Google removed all the code for sdcards years ago. So any device that had it was added by the oem. They recently added some code back but that was mainly for lower end devices that come with very little storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] s8freak:
Actually for me it just seemed cheap didn't feel like a high end device. The camera wasn't all that good. The amoled screen was the only thing I liked about it.

My OPO felt more like a premium high device LOL but to each his own. My G935F is a killer phone.

If you dont know the rules that is your own fault. You are required to read them before becoming a member. If you didnt then go back and read them and make sure you understand them.

Here is a little help on that. Since you wanted to post a rom, you are now required by XDA rules and the GPL to provide the kernel source code for the kernel in the rom. And no the fact that the OEM didnt release it is not a reason.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonyrenjithroy:
Hi,

My z3c, when taken in rain, is now not starting up. Immediately when it showed the signs of ingress water, I rushed to Sony service center for repair. They said that one of the flap seals is damaged which allowed the water inside and is now out of warranty. Still, they took the phone for inspection, and after a week, they quoted a price of 25k for repair which is almost the price of the phone when I bought it. They gave details that the motherboard, display, internal antenna, battery and back cover needs replacement which justified for the cost.I decided not to repair for this enormous cost and decided to take a try myself.

After opening the already opened back cover, now there is no traces of water at any level inside the phone. So I decided to charge the phone through the wall charger. There is no signs of charging even after an hour, except the led light blinking red.

So, I decided to connect phone to pc through usb to check whether the PC detects it. Luckily, after the 3 minutes, the red led blinking turned constant BLUE and the phone entered FASTBOOT mode with the screen now showing the processor name(D5803) and the BL version. The fastboot drivers were automatically installed in my windows pc, and now the Flashtool detects the phone in fastboot mode. DOT.

From this, I can infer 2 things:

i) my processor is not fried.

ii) display is working perfectly.

The fastboot mode display screen is shown in the link below:

imgur.com/Gvb1fF2

In it, it shows that the bootloader is LOCKED. So I tried to unlock it with the fastboot command from "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" application. The command returned success saying "OKAY [0.965s] finished. total time 0.969s" . The problem is even though this is shown, the lock state is still "LOCKED" and any fastboot commands for flashing new image/kernel fails. Can anyone recommend, any ways to recover my phone from here.

Thanks,

Antony
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzzane:
Firstly, if the seal is broken, that is Sony's fault and should be covered under warrenty - usually they would do a pressure test to verify that is was a manafacturing fault.

Secondly that is not the usual fastboot screen, in all my stuffing around and soft bricking my Z3c, i have never seen that :P

All unlocking the bootloader does is void warrenty - removes DRM keys, but allows you to install custom operating systems.

You could try using flashtool and flash stock firmware, as your local sony shop probably stuffed up your firmware. - although judging from your image, you are running a Z1 software...

How do do this LINK

Side Note: Your phone could probably still work even if some of the components were water damaged (I had a water damaged sim, camera but still worked mostly)

I have some very good news for fellow touchscreen-less MS Smartphone (Windows Mobile Standard) users:

The new, 4.x series of Resco Audio Recorder added seamless, great call recording features (along with a much better MP3 coder - which, unfortunately, must be separately purchased) to this already-excellent audio / sound recorder application (see review HERE). Some weeks after the release of the Pocket PC version of Resco Audio Recorder 4.0, the Smartphone version, as promised, has also been released. Only (to a certain extent) matched by the latest (1.3) VITO AudioNotes (see review HERE), it's highly recommended for both people that want to make some voice recordings and the folks that would like to record their calls. I also recommend THIS MoDaCo thread for more info.

Still speaking of Resco, they have also released Resco File Explorer 2007 for the platform. As has always been, it's a MUST for every serious Smartphone user. (Also see for example THIS MoDaCo thread.)

SmartToolkit is one of the best all-in-one Start menu replacements for the MS Smartphone platforms. A new, highly updated version has just been released. As, unfortunately, the original homepage doesn’t seem to work any more, you’ll want to download the new version from this MoDaCo or this PxDxA threads. You will also want to check out the comments in these threads; along with the list of improvements.

IM+ is one of the best instant messenger client for both Pocket PC’s and Smartphones. See the Smartphone Instant Messenger Bible for more information. There is an open, public beta of the brand new, 2.x series of IM+ for the MS Smartphone platform. It, among other things, has the long-awaited, pretty much unique multi-account support. Now you can connect with several accounts of one IM service simultaneously! I only hope the developer also implements auto-logging, which is, currently, only done by mov Messenger (my, so far, favourite Instant Messaging application).

There is also a discussion thread of it at MoDaCo and SmartphoneThoughts. These threads also have the direct download links – don’t forget to check them out!

Finally, there is a very interesting thread HERE on the possibilities of emulating the cursor on MS Smartphones using the built-in camera just like VueFLO in some HTC Pocket PC phones (like the Advantage) or the games 3D Lawn Darts (see review HERE) or Fishopolis. Make sure you check out the linked thread, particularly if you’re a coder / software developer being able to help with the project!
