Thinking about rooting but not sure if im ready to lose some features but i like the slimmed down roms and custom kernals i could slim it down myself but need root so is there anything on a non warranty voiding root?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] metalman229:
Ever since I installed my head unit I've been trying to figure out how to lower the volume below the lowest setting. It's way too loud even on the lowest setting. I've switched from the factory rom to Malaysk and the problem is still there. Even with all the volumes set on 1 it's just too loud to enjoy.

I've tried apps such as fine volume control with no luck. Does anyone know of a way to correct this? Perhaps editing one of the system files?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] pa.ko:
Did you try changing volumes in factory settings?

There, on Last tab, is also some option Amp or something. I'm not sure if it also controls global amplifier but you may try.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
It sounds like it could be to do with the audio on your car - what car do you have and what sort of set up, do you have a factory amp for instance and if so how are you connecting to it ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] metalman229:
Malaysk solved the issue. Under factory settings (password 126) there's an audio tab where I was able to lower everything.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] pa.ko:
Didn't know Malaysk replied to your question in his thread.

Anyhow, this question is better to be here in general thread as it is not strictly related with Malaysk ROM. So other people could more easily find solution if they don't use that particular ROM.

Did you tried AMP option? I never get what it is for (changing that value does nothing for me - but I though on some other MTC type than mine KGL it may have some function).

What settings you are using now? I believe (if I understood Mal's Russian post correctly) he suggested to set all levels to 0. You did that? (of course I could try myself but I'm bit lazy and I'm not in car right now so I'll appreciate if you share your experience)
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
He didnt reply ihn this thread, I assumed it was another thread or a pm that he got his info from Malaysk.

All MTCB head units with later MCU updates have the AMP function, not just KGL, other functions are the same across all manufacturers too.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] pa.ko:
But what that AMP function is for? I tried to set different values but havent noticed any change in volume levels.

Also, I noticed something strange. When I set audio levels (on Audio tab) to 0 - my SWC next/prev buttons stopped working in radio (to change preset stations)! After setting values to 1 (was 10-15 originally) and redefining SWC setup, it works now again...
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
I would assume for sdjusting the output levels for when connecting to some OEM amps.

I ve not tried it myself yet.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Marmalux:
Hello,

I have a stock amplifier on my car and I had the same problem. The seller told me that is plug and play but is not. The audio output is amplified (and it should not be if having a stock amp on the car). Going to factory menu and setting the amp level lower will help but not much.

I have solved the issue by using the Rca speaker outputs (witch are pre out audio). I have cut the wires for speackers in the main connector and soldered the wires from the rca connectors. Now it sounds realy good, no background noise, it's perfect now.

The conclusion is : if you have a stock amplifier on your car you must use the rca outputs (not the speaker outputs, they are amplified).

For reference : I have a 2010 Mazda 6 with factory Bose sound system. Head unit : Klyde 6 quad core and HD version.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Lol, thanks, but this is the purpose of the RCA outs, this is what they are for !!

The amp volume in factory settings is a new addition, probably because some OEM amps dont connect to the OEM head unit via RCA, they connect via the speaker outs and the amp wire triggers the OEM head unit into "low level" mode, basically simulating RCA by only slightly amplifying the signal.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Marmalux:
În my case with amp level set at minimum (25%) the sound was still to loud plus a buzz when no sound was played and also very poor sound quality.

The only control for the amplificator output sound level is the amplifier level menu that has only 3 options (25%,50%,100%). At 25% was still to high, and beacuase of the reamplification I was getting strange buzz at low or no sound played.

The other settings with numeric values adjustable with +/- buttons for system, radio, bt, and so on, are not actualy volume controls. Theese are gain values for each module in part (system Board, bt module, radio module, TV module, etc...) and they have to be corelated otherwise when switching between apps the sound level will be different. For example if listening to radio and if receiving and answering a call while listening radio, the conversation would be to loud or to low comparing to radio sound level if gain levels are set improper.

Regarding the wires, in my case the seller said is fully compatible with my stock amplififier and is "plug and play" and it did not provide any technical documentation, only some basic wiring diagrams. It did not provide the type of each output (amplified or not amplified) and since I have told them I need the stock amplif compatible version (they was asking for this info in product description on their website) I was expecting to receive a device without the integrated amplifier (they needed 2 weeks to build it)...

Therefore I think now you can see my confusion, and I'm sure i'm not the only one in this situation. That is why I share this information here.

And this is not the only hardware issue I have had. There is also static noise on the radio if no sound is broadcasted on the radio station (between 2 songs for example), witch I have also fixed very easy, but this is a different story :).

Best regards!

And one more thing : Never ever pass a amplified sound signal through a second amplifier. You risk to burn the second amplifier or the speakers or both. Also you will amplify the background noise with the second amplifier resulting in bad quality sound. Also electrically is not a good ideea beacuase of the input/output impedances (a amplifier input is designed to receive a low power and high impedance signal).
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
The standard method of connecting an aftermarket head unit to an amp is via RCA, there is an alternative for systems like yours - you can buy a converter which "de-amplifies" the output from the speaker wires (using potentiometers). Your seller was correct - the unit IS compatible with your car - you use the RCAs or buy the converter, this applies to these units and indeed ANY after market head unit, Android or not, I m afraid that your assumption was incorrect - no one builds a head unit minus the internal amp, they just fit it with RCA outs which bypasses the internal amp.

I know you shouldnt amplify the signal twice, but try telling that to some OEMs !
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Marmalux:
Yes I see your point of view and is correct but when I asked the seller if the audio out from the main connector is amplified they said No and I only have to connect it to my car directly and not use the Rca connectors. That was wrong. I had to cut and solder wires witch this makes it no longer "plug and play".

I have read a lot on the Web and there are many that they even do not know that they have a stock amplifier in the car, and since the seller can provide bad information people can very easy damge their systems. So I just want to make clear why the sound can be to loud and what can be done. Limiting the amplifier volume in the Hu when using a second amplifier I see it as a improvisation and it should not be done. Many of the cars that cought fire is beacuase of electric improvisations leading to wires overheating resulting with fire :(.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Most sellers know f all, I m afraid.

Which setting allowed you to lower audio of apps and radio? Was it system?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] robsno:
Performance for a device that runs in flash memory has to be lower performance than one that runs in ram when doing any writing so as long as you do backups just in case then the other benefits are marginal. I dont see any pont in upgrading if WM6 were available for the XDA 2i. With the right configuration and software the XDA 2i is still as good as any of the new PDA Phones around now apart from the camera resolution. It has a fast processor, good helping of ram, large screen, supports 4Gb SD cards and has a large user base. Work with what it offers !
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] captirwin:
I Agree

It could not be said any better.

I agree I only got my XDA IIi a month or so ago in a deal for upgrading somones PC for them and they offered it in PX I tried it for a few days and found it well worth while it will run TT6 no problems and in fact picks up changes quicker than a Navman iC520 I have personally all I really want is a car harness for it and I will be sorted
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] worksofart:
if you look at all the new applications that runs under wm5 & wm6, you would change your way of thinking... have a fast look at the himalaya (that has lower specifications than our phone)...

..
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] robsno:
Also consider the vast number of applications available for WM 2003 and the small number that are WM5 only almost all of which have 2003 versions anyway. I honestly cant see anything that only runs only on WM5 or 6 that I would miss. There are versions of new software but almost all of these dont realy offer any new functions just re written for wm5/6 big deal. Having had a go on a couple of WM 5 PPCs I cant see any great benefit and performance seems worse than the Alpine generally.Because the majority of WM users are on 2003 still software houses would be mad not to support the main market. This will change in time but like so many new software releases there are few with real innovation, maybe the IPhone in an exeption but I will wait until there is actually something worth having before I upgrade. If you always hanker after the latest model you will not be happy for long as there is always a new model round the corner.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] deedee:
i have an Alpine and a Trinity and use them both for different things, so far i have only found one app that was WM5 only, and have found a similar app for the WM2003 instead. The Alpine does have a tendency to get stuck more than the Trinity but it's the work of moments to soft reset it, and it doesn't suffer with the periodic lock up on receiving a text that my Trinity does.

Not sure i could actually pick one ove the other if i had to, and i may well have to as work may be reclaiming the Trinity when its current "test and evaluation" period ends. :)
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Maggy:
I'm a Himalaya user. I used WM2003 till quite recently. I'm now a 100% convinced WM6 user. In WM2003 I had to constantly use the stylus, in WM6 I use my index finger most of the time. I still have a thumb keypad to click under my Hima, I believe it also fits on Alpine. Anyone wants to buy it?
[Xposed General] supermaxkato:
I'd like to block the pop-up that tells me "mobile data is turned off." It doesn't show as a notification or a toast, so neither "Notifyclean" module, or "EnhancedToast" module will work cause they don't detect it.

When it pops up the current activity is:

com.android.phone

com.android.phone.WarningAlertActivity

Could someone create a module for me to block this or direct me on how to do this?

Also, if someone would just create an "Activity Blocker" module, that would block certain activities when they try to become current activities, that would be helpful to many people I would bet.

Thanks for considering to help!

I am not sure that is the way to look at it. In my opinion, the only way to find out if it is possible is to motivated developers to try. You have nothing to lose by saying what you are willing to give. If there is never a solution then you have lost nothing. If there is a working solution, you give what you are willing to give and you have root. What is the downside?

I'm trying to help on the other thread. As in coding and all that. But I'll throw 20 . All these people saying without Knox being tripped can give that up. That comes with root. Which is why Samsung pay and so on doesn't work with rooted s7 or edge.

I didn't make a thread like this due to being told the dev never gets what people pledge. So didn't want that to happen to whoever helps /finds root method.

It is possible, just very difficult to do. The Verizon Note 4 just got root within the last 30 days, and it took a good 2 years. Personally, I would move on from this phone for this reason only and consider a Nexus, which will always have an out of the box, open-source experience.

Good luck.

I wouldn't suggest selling your phone good things come to people that wait. It is kinda a slap in the face from Samsung. But hey devs are smart. Looking forward to see these methods.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] GeoFX:
These bounties are hilarious. Like people are actually going to pay. The masses are leeches by nature...

Any dev that puts in a lot of hard work to get a root method working should ignore these "bounties" and just charge for it, like Sunshine. Instead of paying a bounty, just pay the fee to get root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Outbreak444:
I'm starting to think that focusing on hardware rather than software will be more beneficial. If we could find the path on the circuit board (if there is one) that sends the signal to the efuse, couldn't we just open said path to prevent the signal from ever reaching, thus knox never getting tripped?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizic:
Dear XDA community,

Recently my LG G4 H818 (dual sim) started causing troubles after 8 monthes of use. Everything started a week ago, when during the call I couldn't hear the other person. The other person could hear me well. It didn't matter if I was calling or I was receiving a call. It didn't depend of which sim I was using, call sounds from both sims were silent. After reboot this issue was resolved. Temporarily... After couple days everything started again and again reboot helped.

Yesterday, after regular reboot due to this issue, my phone showed an error - "Process isn't responding. Do you want to close it?". This is where nightmare started. Everything froze or started lagging badly, I couldn't unlock the phone, I couldn't launch any app, even notification drawer was not coming down, the phone was useless. I could receive calls, but I couldn't pickup (phone freezes instantly). When I tried to launch an app, it would say "This app isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" before freezing for couple minutes. It was happening to every single app (Phone, Contacts, Shazam, Whatsapp, etc.). I barely managed to save my data to pc using usb cable and decided to hard reset (erase all, format data, etc.).

After hard reset, during the first launch everything seemed ok, no lags, no errors... BUT this morning I received a call, picked it up and sound was missing again. I did the reboot and now I'm back again to freezing, huge lagging, errors, and phone is useless.

Everything is stock, latest Androd 6.0 is installed. Not rooted, bootloader is locked - I have not done any changes to the firmware at all. I did drop it once on the hard floor (only once) after a month of purchase, but until last week everything was working ok. I must mention that battery wasn't lasting long enough, but it might be due to my heavy use (9GAG, Chrome, Corporate email app, gaming sometimes) - charging 3-4 times in 2 days.

Has anybody faced same issue? Can anybody help me? Couldn't find any results on google and on forum here. Please help.

P.S. rooting and installing a different ROM is not an option, since dual sim LG's have limited available custom ROMs. Also, I use a corporate email app that cannot be installed on rooted phones (it is really annoying).

Thanks in advance!
