Try the app GOODEV Sound Booster. Do not encrease booster over 40% bc it will damage the speaker. Also, I recommend lmiting max boosting to 20%

Step 1: Download ‘ES File Explorer’ for Android from Google Play store.

The ES File explorer is one of the best file explorers for Android Phones. It comes with an easy to use interface, is light on RAM and allows easy access to the root of the system. We’ve already posted some things we did using the ES File explorer. Download the ‘ES File Explorer’ and install it on your phone.

Step 2: Enable Root Explorer in the app.

The ES File Explorer also doesn’t want any user to get into the root of the phone, because messing up with the root of the phone could create problems. To protect unwanted access, the File explorer by default doesn’t allows access to the Root.

To access the root on the ES File explorer > Click on the Menu Button > Look for Root Explorer and turn it ON and now a popup will come asking whether you want to grant access to enable root access, in case you don’t allow. ES File Explorer won’t be able to explore the root files.

Step 3: Then enable write access on system partition as follows:

After enabling ‘Root Explorer’, Tap on the Root Explorer again and a pop up will come with many options, Among all the options, Click on “Mount R/W” and then select ‘system’ as ‘R/W’. Hit OK. This will enable write access to the system.

Step 4: Find to3g folder inside sound folder.

Now navigate to the outermost folder of the file explorer. Search for “Device”. You will see one folder named “device”. Now open etc folder and open sound folder. Look for a file named “To3g” and open the file as Text in ES Explorer.

Step 5: Change the Values of Sound using ES Note Editor to increase the volume.

Step 6: Save the File & Test the Volume.

Once done with the above editing work, you are supposed to save the file and reboot your phone. Now check the volume level, It should have increased, if you feel that the volume level has increased to a level more than it should be then again follow the above steps and set the level which is suitable to you.

Step 7: Turn off Root Explorer and Select “R/O” for system to remove write access.

Well, your done with the sound level on your phone. But you enabled Root explorer and also gave “R/W” access to the phone. So first select the R/O option for the system by clicking on the Root Explorer to remove write access and then turn off Root Explorer.

Step 8: Reboot the device, so that the changes are applied and work correctly. After the restart, you should see that the low volume level problem is solved. In case you are having High volume problem, then you can follow the same steps but just reduce the values.

Be sure to backup your TA partition before unlocking the bootloader (root needed)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bustr85:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
I've got T-Mobile SGH-T889 with Android 4.3, everything is fine but it's SIM locked. I checked ebay for codes and they are not widely available like the ones for this phone's twin brother SGH-I317 for just $1...

Oh, well since I have T-Mobile as a carrier I put in a request, they emailed me free 8-digit code in a couple of days.

Guess what - the phone does not take the code (yes I popped in the AT&T SIM card), says code is wrong, IMEI match, I've done it few times before - I'm puzzled...

Based on what I read here T-Mobile has a wrong calculator just for SGH-T889 model, since in the past they unlocked my Note 3 and Note 4 no problem.

I guess I can downgrade it to 4.1.1 (tripping the knox) and do it through the hidden menu but Sammobile link does not work reports "User not logged in" error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
Also what is the latest official Android version for SGH-T889? I've seen 4.3, do not see 4.4.2 like on AT&T one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
The T-mobile Note 2 is stuck at 4.3 while the sgh-i317 and sgh-i317m at KK.

You need to create a user account on sammobile.com in order to download firmware. It's free but the download is not that fast for non-paying members.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
Ok I never knew 4.4.2 was not available on T-Mobile on another side, it would have bugged me with the update like T-Mobile normally does.

Yes I have an account MK7 link does not work this is what I have in the phone, I don't know how different OH4 is...

Is it the same Knox as in AT&T one if you go down from 4.3 to 4.1.1?

I still wonder why T-Mobile sends out the wrong unlock codes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
Is the phone running a stock 4.3 ROM?

You cannot fully downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 because the bootloader cannot be dowgraded. The stock 4.1. ROM from sammobile.com may include the 4.1.1 bootloader.

I'm not sure if T-mobile calculates the code or whether the code is stored in an imei/unlock code database.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
Yes stock 4.3, LJ2 ROM from SM has modem bin only.

Hm... AT&T SGH-I317 downloads from 4.3 to stock 4.1.1 via Odin no problem, I did it a few times for SIM unlock only trips the Knox...

The most annoying part is that the official unlock code does not work, spoke to T-Mobile again they are clueless :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
The ROM on sammobile.com doesn't include a bootloader which is why a stock 317 can downgraded. You wind up with a stock 4.1.1 ROM on a 4.3 or newer bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
And there will be no hidden menu? Have you seen this bootloader anywhere?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
If I recall correctly on my i317m, the hidden menu will be there but WiFi and calls won't work. It may be the same for the T-Mobile note 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
Were you able to unlock the phone by downgrading to 4.1.1?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] toshik1:
Yes it worked like charm.

I tried that and it flashed fine but I don't see the camera available anywhere in the phone, I only see the Google one

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gsavas:
This is for stock rom. It won't work on cm.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Winter Nai:
Yeah, perhaps. Btw, i flashed mine on cm style by wbt. If im not mistaken, cm roms have a few minor problems like camera and wifi right? Is it stable already for daily use?:confused:
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gsavas:
cm style by wbt is a stock based rom. It's EMUI which aims to look like cm.

I used free cm rom by papsi as a daily for a few weeks and it was plenty stable for daily use (if you don't mind inferior battery life to emui). Wifi worked fine, the camera was buggy.
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EinBier:
It's nearly impossible to port the stock EMUI camera to other stock based ROMs, because of closed source code and - as you mentioned before - due to the fact that the libraries causig problems. The camera from the Honor 7 is simply too deep interested into EMUI. :silly:

[T-Mobile LG G3] minicm94123:
Hello, I have a problem with my LG G3 T Mobile,

Some time ago I installed Marshmallow 6.0 Original in my G3 and I wanted to downgrade a few weeks ago to 5.0 lollipop with LGUP but the surprise that I dropped the phone at 10% and canceled the process and since then no flash mode recognizes the phone.

This one does not even enter the LG logo just pulls me to loading and takes me to Download mode.

I have seen tutorials on Many Forums and they all say That Kdz, Tot, Flash tool and others but none works for me.

Do you have any idea to revive my beloved G3?
[T-Mobile LG G3] SofaSpud:
I once had a similar experience with my G3, where it disconnected during the flash process. It was many months ago, so I don't remember many of the details, but the following day when I reconnected the G3 to the computer running FlashTool, it picked up where it had left off, and completed successfully.
[T-Mobile LG G3] minicm94123:
oh mean you have a good luck, for mi luck isn't , every the flashtoolers don't recognized the phone but i have readed, is problem of the laf partitions it is ok?
[T-Mobile LG G3] minicm94123:
Oh mean, my phone not boot to download mode now. I'm sad :(
[T-Mobile LG G3] SofaSpud:
I know that feeling. I bricked a G4 once, and it is totally dead. If I buy another phone in the future, I think that I will choose a different brand, not LG
[T-Mobile LG G3] minicm94123:
GOOD News for me, i haved tried again but with a new battery and it works!!!

[T-Mobile LG G3] SofaSpud:

[Touch Cruise General] Turnipio:
I had been using iGuidance4 on my old Samsung i730 off a 4GB SD Card. It worked very well . I used it syncing with a BT iTrekM5+ BT GPS Receiver (MTK Chipset) in my wife's car and with a Parrot 3400 LS-GPS (it is an intergrated Hands free BT and GPS receiver).

I have recently upgraded my phone to a HTC Touch Cruise and am using iGuidance4 now on a 6GB MicroSDHC card. It works flawlessly with my Parrot and iTrek Receivers.

The problem that I am having is that iGuidance4 is barely working with the Touch Cruise inbuilt GPS. The phone runs on a Qualcomm MSM7200 (Chipset) @ 400MHz,and has bulit in GPS. The iGuidance program works in fits and starts with a very, very long lag time while running, so as to render the program unusable.

I thought that there may be a problem with the intergrated GPS on the phone, but I don't think that this is the case, because the inbuilt intergrated GPS of the Touch Cruise works perfectly with both Google Maps and Microsoft Live Search.

I wonder if anyone might have any thoughts

or suggestions on this problem.

I have also posted this on the PDAPhoneHome website (http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/pdaphone-discussion/100265-iguidance-4-htc-touch-cruise-polaris.html)

I would like to hear any updates on your problem as I intended to use iGuidance as well, mainly for its Text-To-Speech and Navteq maps.
[Touch Cruise General] nosnoop:
Does anyone else have any other experience of getting iGuidance 4 to work with Touch Cruise? There seems to be a workaround using GPSGate described in pdaphonehome, but is this the only way to get it working?
[Touch Cruise General] dfields:
On the TC, open iGuidance, go to Tool, then GPS Options, then COM Port, and select Com4

Then, go to the same area and set the Baud Rate to 9600.

If for some reason you've changed your settings, on your TC go to the Start Menu, Settings, System, and then click on External GPS to find out what your settings are.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milanwraith:
Hey there,

I've been updating my TP regularly for the last 4 years or so, and it always have been kinda slow and laggy sometimes but as far as I can remember I was at least able to browse and play some games a couple years ago. I don't really know when I started to realize that my TP is virtually impossible to use due to SO many lags and not responding apps.

Not talking about dirty flash or GApps problems though, I always clean flash new roms and kernels and for the first 5 minutes or so the TP is reacting kinda fast. But after a while it takes literally ages to open up an app, to the point where I have to restart the device.

For example using the "update all" button in Google Play will never update all the apps because for some reason the download speed will be super slow after a while and installing a single app will take up to 10 minutes.

That's the reason why my TP has just been catching dust for the last year but I had to give it another try and flash 7.1, but it's still the same story. Since the community around the TP is still kinda active, I feel like maybe this really just applies to my TP because there is no reason why anyone would still want to use this thing if it behaved like mine.

I've already given up on it and feeding it to the bin wouldn't hurt me at all, but before I do so: any ideas?

Regards

Check out my experiences with Evervolv 7.1.1: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71176374&postcount=937

I was using an older build of 6.0, and it was just about unusable as you describe. It would take FOREVER to do the simplest things, even with nothing open. "Lag" was measured in seconds, and apps opening would be measured in minutes. I did these few things, and it's a whole new tablet!

1. Fresh install. Wipe EVERYTHING and start over with the newest 7.1.1 ROM.

2. Format Cache and Data to F2FS.

3. Use overclocked (1.8GHz) SKZ kernel.

4. Change Governor to LionHeart and I/O scheduler to Tripndroid.

5. Do NOT use Chrome from the GPlay store. Chrome will use up ALL of your (1GB) RAM, and make it unusable. I switched to ABP webrowser.

6. Download Greenify from GPlay store. Use it to hibernate EVERYTHING that's not essential. Again, saves your RAM for what's important.

Thanks for the reply Roland. The problem is that Kodi 17.1 will not install on Kitkat....needs Lollipop or newer. And yes, your MLQ CM11 is a rock solid rom and I used it since it came out.

I will read up on this widevine and perhaps try it.

Now I am curious if switching to F2FS partitions will help at all with speed and usability.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyates:
I have noticed improved performance on other devices when switching to F2FS. On this device it is a little bit better, but the main cause of slowdown on a TP is not the file system, but the underwhelming dual-core CPU and the 1GB of RAM. Both of those are more likely to slow down and/or freeze this tablet than anything else.

That said, any little bit helps, so I still went with the F2FS.
