[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmsohc22:
So I just got an LG V20, and also have a gear vr headset that no longer works for my phone because I ditched the Note 5.. So I figured my cheapest option would be a used S6, and I don't care if it's on Verizon or not because I'm not going to activate it, only use it for VR stuff.. Which is the best choice for me if I want to get one that's rootable and has a custom ROM or two to play around with..??

Thanks!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajorPhasor:
Hi all,

I have an H815 USA version, which I got off eBay but expect to be from the USA G4 trial program, and I have a few related questions:

What is the most recent .kdz file that anyone has tested with this phone?

Is the most recent (6.0 if applicable) supported stock ROM the best, or does it have any significant known bugs, for example failing to send/receive SMS messages?

Does putting on another stock ROM permit any sort of unlocks that were not previously possible with the USA version firmware?

The phone came with v10b-EUR firmware, and would not update itself to anything more recent. However, I downloaded a Polish .kdz from here (H81510E_00.kdz): http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G4/H815/ and successfully installed it using the LG Uploader (2014 version) tool today.

This appears to have fixed all but one stagefright vulnerability. I am interesting in upgrading to one of the Marshmallow versions there, if it is advisable by the crowd here.

Based on a screenshot from this post (http://xdaforums.com/g4/help/diy-h815-usa-variant-hardware-boot-loop-t3311623), it looks like user rogconnect may have a 6.0 ROM installed on this version of the phone, but I am worried about bricking my device or upgrading to a firmware that is buggy and not being able to revert.

The best way to root is with a PC.

Have you install the Samsung drivers? Without those, the PC won't recognize the phone.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862687161

cm14.1 appears to be set at 90 initially, so its not needed.

most developers including cyanogenmod are using 90 as default setting now, but be aware that some developers change other parts of these files as they see fit for other purposes. In other words, you probably don't need to use these files anymore if you are running any custom rom.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] ChazzMatt:
I use Resurrection Remix 6.x -- based on CM13 -- and yes RR 6.X ROM from [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] already has some audio boost (from 84 to 90). However, I also have this below installed. It also gives richer sound and has speaker enhancement. See screenshots below.

[SOUNDMOD][5.0/6.0+][26/11/16]DivineBeats_V8.5 Beta: Redox Edition

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-divinebeats-sound-master-phone-sony-t3274355

It incorporates Viper and some other stuff. It installs a couple of apps (Dolby Atmos and Viper) and automatically uninstalls RR's Audio FX (since it's redundant or a conflict).

For the Viper "phone speaker" section I have "Speark Optimization" and "xTra Loud" on -- but only on "Slight" for "Select Effect Strength" in the xTra Loud section. It gets really loud, even with that "slight" -- so for some media I have to turn the volume down. ;)

In the Dolby Atmos app, I have Voice on "Rich" profile and turned on "Dialogue Enhancer" -- but have not adjusted anything in the EQ. I can tell a BIG difference when I turn off the Dolby app and turn it back on while playing a song -- so I know it's working!

If you decide to try it, ignore the confusing "add ons" or "profiles". There's somewhat cryptic instructions on how to install them, but I'm NOT using them. I'm keeping it simple.

I only downloaded the main app, rebooted into TWRP recovery, flashed it, wiped caches, and rebooted.

First time you run Viper, it asks to install the driver. Say YES, and wait a couple of minutes. It is doing stuff in the background, be patient. It will then ask you to re-boot to activate Viper. I then turned on the options in the screenshots above in Viper and Dolby Atmos.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Themes and Apps] ChazzMatt:
If it works on XT1225 it works on any Quark. The post says ALL phones. The caveat is

If you are running stock or even stock-based ROM (like CF) make sure you do a TWRP backup first! Well, do that anyway. That's why you have TWRP in the first place!

Android xt1254 volume boost is it really possible?

A lot of audio file on just an old guy with an old Android it doesn't hear very well.

I have tried no less than six different apps increase the volume on my telephone it does absolutely nothing nor do the EQ functions work.

Is it apps that are full of Bologna or is it that my phone is not technical enough to accept these applications.

I even contacted Motorola to Good Into The Hidden Factory controls which some article said could be done by changing the numbers but I've been told it's not possible on this telephone.

Any suggestions of someway to boosters volume would be greatly appreciated.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] x.0ni.x:
I plan on purchasing one of these soon and I keep reading about poor call volume. Has anyone tried Viper Audio to try and increase the "call speaker" volume? I'm just curious if this has been successfully attempted or not.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
do not own this device but from past devices such apps/enhancements change the media volume not in call earpiece volume ...could be wrong...think if rooted someone has to figure out how to change the audio amplification values...like on Samsung there would be a mixer.xml file inside system/etc I think.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Aeskulapio:
I own the Mi Mix. Call volume is not an issue.

In doors with volume at about 25% I held a 30 minute call and sound and clarity were excellent.

Outdoors while walking at 50% no issues.

From my experience too there's absolutely no issue with call volume or clarity on this phone. I've no idea where people have got this impression from?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] kenny17430:
From my point of view the volume is loud enough, coming from a S7 edge. And I don't find the sound muffled at all, I find it even better as I don't get my ear agressed by high tones.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
so did you get yours and try it out? thx
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] ChodTheWacko:
One of the reviewers noted that the 'loudest' place to listen is roughly 1/3 down the phone.

If you look at teardown pics, where the piezo is located, that seems roughly correct.

If you're trying to listen to the phone very 'high' like you would if there was a normal earpiece, that's probably a mistake.

Also, you kinda want to have as much skin contact with the phone as possible. It seems pretty loud if you just mash the phone against

your entire ear/cheek.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] CorruptedSanity:
Try listening whole walking on a busy street or a hall full of people.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] juggz143:
I'm also not experiencing any issue with call volume. I immediately turned the volume all the way up when I first opened the device and had to turn it wayyy down when the first call came in because it was too loud lol.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] wu5262:
I have installed Viper on my Mix, I just wonder maybe you guys have mixed this up, the speaker setting in Viper's tab is for the bottom speaker, not the actual call speaker which only activate when you make phone call?

Am i wrong?
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mac231us:
is what I thought/said sometime back..think Viper only addresses external media volume not in call volume with root someone should be able to find a mixer or audio xml file to change volume (maybe...saying but do not have device myself)

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Just because the MXPE is my daily driver device doesn't mean I don't own other Moto devices, and other devices period... I actually own and use a Moto X Pure Edition, Moto G 2015, Lumia 640 LTE, iPhone 5s, and have a drawer collection full of other miscellaneous or retired devices... I advocate for all devices where it seems relative, and if you think the Moto will only do this to the G, you are mistaken... they have shown a continual disrespect for devices over 6 months of age, read the article noted under the petition link in my sig.

BTW, although we are supposed to get Nougat on the X, I seriously have my doubts it will happen... I will believe it when I see it and personally believe it barely has a 50/50 shot at actually happening.

Hello XDA! I have been a long time lurker here because almost always found the answer already posted, but this time I wasn't able to.

A friend of mine has a Samsung G350L which was stuck on the Samsung Logo so I tried to flash a ROM (using Odin) to it but the process failed. I can get in download mode but not in recovery mode

When I tried again I got this "There is no Pit Partition" error in Odin and the phone screen it reads

What I have tried:

- Flashing other roms (G350LUBUANB4_G350LTFGANB2_G350LUBUANB3_HOME.tar and G350LUBUANC3_G350LUUBANC2_ARO) > Error > Odin > There is no Pit Partition. Phone > Odin : Flash read failure

- Flashing rom + pit (CS02VE3G_LTN_UB.pit and cs02.pit) with re-partition enabled > Error: > Secure check fail : Pit

- Flashing pit (CS02VE3G_LTN_UB.pit and cs02.pit) alone with re-partition enabled > Error: > Secure check fail : Pit

Also tried

- Using another PC

- Using other USB Wires

- Using other USB Ports

- Using Kies Restore (phone doesnt get recognized)

- Installing and unistalling Samsung Drivers

-

In this other thread, OP states that he was able to flash the recovery and then he was able to flash the rom, but I can't find the Recovery for my phone version.

Any help will be highly appreciated!

On the Canadian Freedom Mobile V20 even enabling LTE in the hidden menu, no LTE option available in Mobile Network settings. Apparently, we will get it in a firmware update in coming weeks.

And be careful, if you don't know what you're doing you can disable calling and mobile network access. If you do, try going into 'Field Test', 'Network Mode' and enable 'WCDMA AWS', or 'Automatic' if that doesn't work, should fix it.

Hello. Received my Xperia XZ in germany with T-Mobile branding, which i wanted to remove because i do not have t-mobile and all their apps are useless to me, secondly the lot of pink icons / flashing screens / etc. are extremely annoying. I did sucessfully unlock and tried to flash "customized DE" (latest) which always fails (downloaded via XperiFirm, deleted the .xml, packed and flashed with Flashtool).

Then i tried searching an Android 6 tft, and found the "customized CE1" which worked, but did not get the Android 7.0 update yet. But in the end, this is not what i wanted to archive as its the wrong firmware version. As far as i understood flashing Android 7.0 ftfs is currently not possible? And also sony only has latest Firmware downloadable, so no DL-Link for the 6.x Firmware for my region? Did not manage to find the correct Firmware using google.

Can anyone help me out?

Either finding the correct german Firmware ftf for 6.x or how to flashing the 7.x one.

Thanks!

Xperiafirm only finds the newest Android 7.0 Firmware - or is there a hidden "old firmwares" feature?

XperiCheck also lists only the newest Fimware.

Just figured out while writing this post, i can click on the CDA - which seems to list all "customized DE".

Only problem now: I do not have an Alfafile account, nor do i have any of the available payment options to buy me the smallest subscription to aquire this file. :/

Google also does not seem to find any result for "F8331_1305-9090_39.0.A.3.30-R4B_Customized_DE.ftf"

EDIT: That ftf file is not shown in FlashTool - possibly broken one :( So still no real progress.

Okay, I just wanted to warn people about them. I'm not exactly sure why they have a really good deal of about $250 for the new Tilt (with plan), but I am now on my 4th Tilt today.

The first 3 all had numerous problems and I'm beginning to wonder if they were selling refurbished ones as new.

Anyways, I did another exchange today (my previous had a couple hot pixels) and they assured me it was brand new never opened.. lol all lies I tell ya.

I inspected the phone in the store and it looked like it was in solid condition, even the screen had no dead pixels and believe it or not, the camera is like a freaking nikon it's super smooth and takes awesome pictures (maybe it was sent back to htc and fixed? lol)

Well, I got home and began unpacking and getting ready to fully charge it before I do hard spl. I noticed the sd card slot was a tad open and I go to close it and find a 2gb SanDisk card in there. NEW IN BOX MY ASS. I went to the device info and see it had about 30 min of outgoing and incoming calls.

Anywho.. I got a free card out of it and a much better camera, but still.. they told me it was new and it wasn't. =\
