I bought a Nexus 5X a month back. Within a week of purchase, my phone started restarting automatically. I tried factory reset and gave it to the service center, where they did something with the software and even then the problem persisted, few days from then I updated to Nougat and there was no issues for another 3 weeks. Now the problem has again come up, how to fix this issue? Some say its a software issue and some say its power button issue. Please guide!

Device won't respond to "adb shell wm" even though "wm" exists in /system/bin

I'm trying to change the pixel density on my unrooted RN3P using the "adb shell wm density XXX" command.

I'm running Krexus-CAF ROM.

ADB is set up and working, and I can open a shell on the device.

The problem is that `wm` cannot be found, even though it exists on the device at `/system/bin/wm`. I cannot do this with the "adb shell wm density XXX" command, nor if I open a shell on the device and type "wm density"

The output is:

~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools $ adb shell wm density 400

/system/bin/sh: /system/bin/wm: /bin/sh: No such file or directory

Has anyone had success with this, or can tell me why the "wm" command cannot be found, even though it exists in the directory that the device looks in?

Cheers
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mehulchirania:
First check for "adb devices". If it doesn't show then check for the drivers. After that set path of adb in windows to default. Try again with debugging enabled.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] El_Nino9:
thank you for taking time out to try help.

i'd just say that your solution isn't what the OP is looking for.

mainly because if you read the post he tried adb shell wm.....

but also tried on the phone inside terminal app typing the command..

i personally don't have a solution but i thought i'd try help you try maybe another suggestion?

for example, i can now go and tell the OP to download and install angry bird or busybox etc but it won't make a difference.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] DoubleDroz:
As noted in the question, I can definitely find my device, as I was running the shell on the device with ADB. The problem was that I could not execute `wm`, even though it was listed in the directory.

I ended up switching ROMs, and could use `wm` without issue - I'm not sure what it was about the ROM I was using that meant I couldn't use the files listed.

Oh well.

USB Host built in... !?

I have read most of the posts related to the USB Host thing...

Everytime i must read such things like that the Tytn has no hardware that supports USB-Host...

But Samsung says, that the CPU and Chipset has built in USB-Host AND USB-Device Ports...

http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/productInfo.do?fmly_id=229&partnum=SC32442

So the statement that its hardware cannot do USB-Host is not true.

If the CPU and Chipsets has built in USB-Host Functionality, the Hardware-Ports in the Chips (i think) have to be used at the USB-Interface at bottom of the Tytn.

So at end, it has to be only a Software Problem to support USB-Host Functionality directly at Tytn...

Anyone who can follow my Ideas, or do i have an error in my thinking?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
the usb functions of the cpu is not used there is another chip which handle usb for htc devices

even if the cpu support host non of the connections are passed on to any connctor
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JennySummer:
So is my Question, why should they do such irrational things ?

Why use another additional Hardware (at additional costs!!), if the already existing can do the functions ?

If they really do that, they must be mad... throwing dollars out of the window and make the product more expensive than it can be.

Its like i buy a Ferrari and only drive 130 km/h instead of 250 km/h on our german highways.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
not sure the reason but it have been don for many generations of pda's from htc maybe the r&d cost of changing their pcb design is bigger then using their current design

or maybe they dont want to wander into the jungle of getting piles of support calls and mail with people wanting usb drivers for this and that not to mention the issue with having to be forced to substain a .5 mAmp output to usb devices with batt issues

and having to handle correct handling of init'ing connected usb devices after on off
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JennySummer:
But the Flame, Shift and Athena have USB-Host Funtionality you said.

Especially the Flame is much like the Tytn. So the Thing about Drivers, Batt and Current have to be the same.

I wonder in addition a little bit how it came to the sdhc compatibility that was not given under WM5 but now under WM6. For me that means the Hardware of SD is everytime the same, only the Software changes a bit. So the Tytn must accept cards up to 32gig...

Why they do such things will be a mystery on for the future.

I think with conventional explanation attempts it will not be done.

Maybe i will write a mail to HTC and will do the Question again there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
you should not sure if they will reply or even read it but you should all the same

but flame is not a htc device

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] obladi64:
Many of you included myself complain about stock music player. It has uncountable problems but as far as I know it is the only player which can use the built in high end DAC. The most annoying thing is that it plays song in alphabetic order if files appear at all and secondly it is very slow.

I would suggest a temporary solution what I did and it works perfectly so far.

Delete all playlist (m3u, cue etc.).

Remove a metadata from files too.

Remove all songs with metadata from the phone!!!

Delete all record from "My Playlist" in the initial screen. (I was able to do it just one by one)

Reset Music Player by deleting cache and data in Application Settings

Reboot phone

Then open Music Player and play songs from Folder option. It will be enough fast and all songs appear and in filename order.

In order to remove metadata from files I would suggest using Mp3tag

http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

If you collect your files in any structure on the PC, all you can do is to move root folder into Mp3tag screen, select all songs and remove tags by right clicking. Then you can copy files to phone.

!!! Be careful !!!

Don't remove tags from your archive music folder. You cannot undo. Always create temporary folder and copy wishing music files there in order to remove metadata (tags).

Good lock!

Except there is two DAC for output : AKM and SD820 built-in.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] obladi64:
Ok I was not so precize. Other players don't use AKM dac directly. They do it just via Android which convert all audio input to 48/16 output. Let me know if I am wrong but justify it with something please. Of course then this stream goes to AKM DAC but this not the way we wish it. I welcome any non stock player which can drive dac directly in same way as stock one does. Sooner or later it will be available hopefully but now I don't know any.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtermmin:
If the "Headset HiFi" control in Settings is to switch between SD820 and AKM DACs, then I'm able to use the AKM DAC with other media players that pass audio processing/decoding to the OS (as opposed to fancier players that utilize their own built-in decoding methods/codecs). In my music player of choice (Clean Music), I can switch between the two "Headset HiFi" options (Standard & Super) in the middle of a song and, after a pause to transition, hear a difference between them.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flaîm:
didnt know of that. any sources that this is the case?

edit:

according to this documentation it should be a systemwide default value - unless ZTE ****ed that up

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioFormat.html
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] obladi64:
I have bad news which is good news actually. SD820 DAC is not used in A7 at all. There are two additional DACs and one ADC. "AKM AK4961 DSP CODEC, which can be considered the primary chipset for Hi-Fi audio playback and recording. The AKM AK4490EN DAC is an independent Hi-Fi audio sampler". This later is what you turn on when set "Headset HiFi" option. So SD820 ADC/DAC don't play at all.

http://www.androidauthority.com/taking-audio-next-level-zte-axon-7-706898/

and same is on ZTE site as well.

I have doubts that you can hear the difference between the two AKM chips while you don't between Clean Player and the built in ZTE player. Although I don't listen 4961 but I do Clean Player. The difference is significant especially if record is 44.1 kHz because conversion of it to 48 kHz is more difficult than of 96kHz record.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtermmin:
Actually, the SD820 DAC is used and enabled. People with fancy players like PowerAmp (the latest alpha) report that in the app's settings, the only DAC that shows up in the list is the SD820 DAC. No AKM DAC listed.

I'm not an audiophile or anything, but when I have Super selected, the audio has a little more of a "punch" to it, while Standard I can kinda hear a bit of a ceiling. (this is all without ATMOS, of course)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] obladi64:
SD820 in Poweramp: I cannot say anything pro or contra. I try to be smart from commercial b...ts. I don't know any well detailed technical quide. Based on these as engineer I would say that SD820 DAC is not used at all. Phone reports SD820 DAC for third party softwares due to compatibility reason but in real AKM chips works. Like I said I don't know it surly but most likely. I am also searching for the correct answer.

I believe that you hear the difference especialy if PowerAmp turns SD820 on somehow.

Otherwise the two AKM chips are different therefore they should sound differently. To hear it is just question of headphone price. Of course it is without ATMOS. :)

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] obladi64:
No. It is justify my concern rather.

"Expressed in Hz, the sample rate in an AudioFormat instance expresses the number of audio samples for each channel per second in the content you are playing or recording. It is not the sample rate at which content is rendered or produced. For instance a sound at a media sample rate of 8000Hz can be played on a device operating at a sample rate of 48000Hz; the sample rate conversion is automatically handled by the platform, it will not play at 6x speed."
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flaîm:
you missed the important part:

which means that it can be programmed to output at 192 khz, but 48 khz should be the default value if there's no additional hardware.

or am i just misinterpreting this whole paragraph?

so either no player can play at 192 khz, or every player plays at 192 khz
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] obladi64:
Yes, someting like that. Since it is Androud part it is 48 kHz. I used Clean player as altarnative and I prove that there is difference between this and stock.

So as I understand it says that every source is converted to 48kHz and this is sent to dac. You can play 44.1 or 192 kHz source it doesn't matter streams will be converted to 48. Stock player alone can bypass it so far. And it is important in case of CDs as well becuase 44.1 to 48 conversion is the one of the ugliest thing can happen here.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flaîm:
i just tested listening to some flacs in my regular player, vlc player and the zte player with my beyerdynamic custom one pro. either all of them were outputting the same format, or i am just not able to hear the difference.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] obladi64:
So I am not fan of VLC Player therefore it is not installed on my phone. May be I felt wrongly and there is no difference because it doesn't exist at all and every player drives DAC appropriately. All I know is that I listened music by Clean Music for weeks and than I exchanged to ZTE player. Going through the music repertoire I was surprised. Anyway I am human too.

After all the fact is that you didn't here difference proves only one thing, namely you cannot hear the difference. Here and now.

I will study developer link what you suggested more thoroughly and also I am still waiting for the correct technical details from Android experts. Until I use ZTE player which works fine in above mentioned way. All song appears, all in order, no lag and sound brilliant. What else is needed?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Evil0verlord:
Music Player DAC issue **Fixed**

Hi, I have a fix to using the DAC on non-stock music apps.

So I received my Axon yesterday.

Ipgraded from the Lenovo Vibe X3. I first ran in on the DAC problem on the X3.

In my experience all of these dedicated DAC phones follow the same approach, i.e., LG V10, Vivo Xplay 5, Vibe X3, Axon 7, and (I as sum) LG V20 as well.

There is already a thread on XDA explaining this in detail. -> http://xdaforums.com/lg-v10/general/music-apps-using-dac-t3252596

In short, the apps listed on the V10 page will use the DAC. Although the Vibe X3 had a dedicated DAC toggle, and the Axon 7 doesn't.

To test whether the DAC is being used by a music app on the Axon 7 is:

1. Plugin high fidelity headphones (so you will be able to hear and verify the difference in music), if you can do it with regular earphones/headphones, good for you. and kickass hearing btw :)

2. Play music on the music app you want to test. (Refer the LG link I posted)

3. while the music s running in the background, go to Settings -> Sounds & Vibration -> Headset Hi-Fi -> and switch between Standard & Super settings.

IF that app is using the DAC, you'll notice a slight pause (when the DAC switches on/off) and of course the difference in sound quality.

Note: Switch Dolby off or ignore it when testing the app, cos for some reason switching Dolby Atmos on/off produces the same gap in playback as the DAC.

On the Vibe X3 it didn't.

I used to use PowerAmp earlier, cos I found that best for my taste.

Then I discovered Neutron, and fell in love with that.

However then I bought a DAC phone & both Power-amp & Neutron don't use the DAC(or I wasn't able to make them)

As per a lot of users online "Poweramp Alpha" can be made to use the DAC on such phones, somehow. I tried fiddling around with it, got fed-up & left it.

If someone has the patience to figure it out AND explain it to me, I'd be grateful, cos Poweramp is my player of choice in terms of UI & ease of usability.

Neutrons latest changelogs mention it can use DAC usage as an update. But I can't notice the difference in the method listed above, or maybe its referring to USB DACs.

Now my player of choice adter going through the list of DAC supported music apps is Pulsar. - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.pulsar

Reason being, I found it to be the lightest/cleanest player which supports the DAC and can relatively smoothly handle my 10K+ collection of 320kbps MP3 & FLAC collection.

You guys can go through the list of apps on the LG V10 page and decide. which suits you best.

h/t [MENTION=4942833]stupc[/MENTION]. I've found his thread to be the most informative and bang on in solving the problem of 3rd party DAC phones throughout the net. And trust me, I've searched. Went crazy trying to solve this when I first bought the X3 :p

Hope this helps.

Mods: Please move the post/thread to the appropriate section if required and close the thread as solved.

Hit Thanks if this helped. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flaîm:
thank you for your answer.

the method to check whether the seperate DAC is being used supports my observation, that i wasnt able to hear a difference between all 3 players i've used.

but i guess the question remains whether the output is in 48khz or 192khz for all of them :/
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jlomein:
I'm sceptical about the differing sound quality when switching the "Headset HiFi" setting. I noticed that the volume increases significantly when the setting is on, and goes quieter when switched off. This is a well known and proven psychological sales tactic for audio. The human brain subconsciously associates louder sound to be of higher quality.

In this case it would be very difficult to perfectly volume match the on/off setting of the "Headset HiFi" toggle for a proper blind test. I don't believe any user testing can be trusted unless it's done blind, as confirmation bias could easily take precedence.

Some good reading:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics

EDIT: I just did some more rudimentary testing with consumer quality mp3s and the ZTE music app, toggling the Headset HiFi setting on/off. The difference in frequency response is very noticeable even when not using high end FLAC encodings. There are significant bumps in bass and treble, even when compared to other sources I have with known flat sound signatures.

So you're asking, what does this mean? There's two scenarios:

1) if the Headset HiFi toggle is indeed switching between the Axon high end DAC and the SD820 standard DAC, the Axon DAC is far from neutral and has a coloured sound with unnaturally increased bass and treble response. This is arguably positive for the average consumer who likes the visceral sensation of an unnatural U-shaped equalizer, but will be disappointing for audiophiles looking for a flat sound signature.

2) the second possibility is that the Headset HiFi toggle does not change which DAC the system is using, but rather is like a Loudness button found on many stereos. When volume decreases, the human ear perceives low and high frequencies dropping off faster than other mid range ones. Loudness buttons are added to stereos so that low volume listening frequency response sounds closer to what the ear perceives at higher volumes.
