[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] khaotik:
so, I've noticed that on my j7 metal (j710mn) stock MM in the app manager there is an option to install apps to the external SD card, but it doesn't seem to work - at least not for every app. tried to move some games to the SD card, and the only one that worked was odd world - strangers wrath, and only after I moved it's obb folder to the SD card manually. is there any tip or thick to make it work on other apps or is this not working?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Boulliebeest:
You have to format the SD as internal memory.

Then it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] khaotik:
there's no option to do that on the stock ROM, is there?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Boulliebeest:
Look here:

https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-format-microsd-cards-as-internal-storage

It is working for a bunch of people, but it all depends on how well Samsung altered the core Android OS.

I tried it on my SM-T800 (MM), didn't work.

Also the same on my SM-J730F (N).

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] rootz:
Hi all, I am using Xiaomi Max 2 (Miui Eu rom), rooted and had installed both Tasker and Waze.

I had set auto rotate to be off, and only trigger when certain app (waze) is selected.

However, there are times whereby the profiles do not get activated. Instead, I will need to access the accessibility tab, unselect and reset the app, then the system will prompt me to accept before working.

Can anyone share with me on why is it as such? Thanks.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] rootz:
Any advice on anyone? Thanks.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] DTTR:
I've had the same problem.

The only way to solve it was to use another automation app (now I cannot recall which one) that allowed me to set the orientation of the screen to "landscape" when I launched some apps.

Tasker can only turn on, off or toggle auto-rotation which often creates problems. For me the problem was if the phone was not 100% in landscape mode the trigger locked the rotation in portret.

Need help from expert here. Help me to analyze this problem. Before that, i have to explain the way i used my phones 1st.

I have 2 sim cards. i call it SIM 'A' and SIM 'B'

SIM 'A' - Maxis - used for normal voice call, sms etc

SIM 'B' - Celcom - data unlimited only.

To utilize this 2 SIMs, i use SIM 'A' on a PDA phone and SIM 'B' on a bluetooth enable phone.

To surf internet, i configure my PDA phone to connect to the phone with SIM 'B' via bluetooth.

In another word, i use the bluetooth enable phone as a modem only.

Okay, here is my problem.

Dopod 818pro connect to V3xx - no problem. Can surf up to 30min without being disconnected.

Dopod 838pro connect to V3xx - being disconnected all the time. Can't even surf more than 1 min.

Dopod 838pro connect with Sony Ericsson Z600 - no problem. Can surf up to 1 hr without being disconnected

The annoying thing is every time being disconnected, i must restart the v3xx in order to be able to reconnect again.

So, what will be the most possible problem?

Although both dopod 838pro and v3xx are still under warranty but it is very difficult to do the troubleshooting by both service center..

Even though the S3 has many teething troubles, for only £50 more, I'd take the punt. When Samsung sort the problems out, you will be paying a lot more than £50 a few years down the line if you want to upgrade.

One slight chink of light is the fact that the 2016 S2 8" version is still the most recent 8" flagship Samsung device. Maybe it will get its third OS update?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louiscar:
Don't you think 50 quid more is too good to be true?

S3 is a whopping 599.00 and if you shop around maybe you can get it for 540.00 at a pinch. S2 easily get it for 300.00 so if I was offered the S3 for 350.00 I'd be asking some questions .... u less of course you are talking second hand ... but even then.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
For me, the S3 is overpriced for what it is. I someone like Huawei got hold of a Samsung OLED panel, it could really upset the market and drive down the price of the S3.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louiscar:
Samsung are really taking the 'p' these days, there is no limit to what they think they can charge. The Note 8 had me absolutely gobsmacked at nearly £900. What's next a £1500 phone?

Yeah £600 for a tablet is pretty high and given the features I think it's OTT frankly but if people pay Samsung will continue to dip into your wallet. Embedded batteries makes the £600 or £860 Note 8 still a 2 year deal as batteries don't last and I hate the fact that they did that for the phones in particular - I value my note 4 with spare batteries which I can swap in when needed and there are so many times when not having one would have been a major inconvenience.

I'll look for other brands - it's always best to go with the guys who have to try harder to get your business. When they get to Samsung status it's "take it or leave it" attitude but thats' to be seen everywhere sadly.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Agree with everything you say Louis. :highfive:

I bought the Mrs a Huawei mediapad M3 open box for only £142 in the USA a few weeks ago so I will get to see it in person in a few weeks time. With a high end Kirin SoC, 4GB ram things like a brilliant FP scanner and even a notification LED, it could give my S2 a run for its money. The icing on the cake would be an OLED screen but it seems Samsung are not selling these to others at tablet size.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louiscar:
Let's hope it turns out to be good. I think I need to go look at these offerings and see if the screens are a deal breaker or not. I got my tab second hand and because the screen was a good contender for the ipad retina. And I do appreciate it since the tab is my bedtime movie theatre :)

I'm sure the other guys will catch up .. Hopefully sooner or later, but if I have to stick with Kim Sami I guess I will go the ebay route and hope to find batteries as I did with the tab s.

V30 concert recording

Hi,

i have a few concert videos onlone recorded with the V30 , but i am not allowed to post a link before i have 10 posts because i am a new user.

If anybody wants to check the videos out, you can visit my Youtube channel named Didi O by searching for :

Helloween - I Want Out @ Porsche Arena Stuttgart 2017

gain turned down, limiter at 0db, low cut off - the phone switched to concert mode from the beginning on

HELLOWEEN - A TALE THAT WASN`T RIGHT @ PUMPKINS UNITED WORLD TOUR 2017 STUTTGART

at 1:30 the phone switches to concert mode and the sound gets worse, does anyone know how to deactivate concert mode because in my opinion it is enough to turn the gain down?

Rise Against - People Live Here @ Festhalle Frankfurt 15.11.2017

the phone did not switch to concert mode, the sound is much clearer than in concert mode

Sleeping With Sirens The Strays London 2017

at 0:58 the phone switched automatically to concert mode and the sound gets worse

I hope that my V30 concert videos are useful and i hope i could manage to switch the concert mode off one time so that i can record better audio only with the gain turned down.

If anyone has suggestions let me know.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaedenhudson14:
So after watching your videos, I noticed that when it switches over to concert mode, it is recording in MONO. That's partly why it sounds worse. Makes sense being that the ear piece it uses is only one speaker. So if you only have one speaker to switch over as a mic, you basically have 1 mic. Making it a mono recording.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Didi O:
Thanks for your reply, yes this is possible.

I have two audio channels (left and right with the same signal because of only one mic) and the speaker taken as a mic has another recording quality - thats it - but it is worse thats the problem.

In my opinion they better had turned the gain down again if the phone switches to concert mode instead of taking the speaker as mic.

Maybe i could increase the sound level a little bit with some foam/tape on the two mics so that the phone didn´t switch to concert mode, but this would also change the recording quality.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaedenhudson14:
Does the V30 have the option of changing gain settings like the V10 does? With my V10 I have a setting in the video settings that allows me to dial the gain back a bit, and also change the direction it is coming from. I am sure that is something you have checked for though right?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Didi O:
Yes, in manual video mode you can adjust the gain level, turn on the low pass filter and use the limiter - not more, the v10 has more options.

To turn on the low pass filter makes no sense because the bass is missing in such recordings, the limiter is in my recordings always at 0db.

I turned the gain already totally down and the phone even switches to concert mode if it is getting too loud.

For me it would be fine if i could only turn the gain down at a concert without concert mode, that records only in mono and with the speaker as microphone.

I dont´t know how loud the music was but i think it must have been 100 db or a little more.

LG says that the V30 can handle up to 140db but i don´t know when the concert mode switches on automatically, in my case on the video Helloween - A Little Tale That Wasn´t Right the phone went to concert mode even when it wasn´t too loud.

On my other videos the concert mode switched on from the beginning.

I have a suggestion. May we suggest you to organize those videos shot with V30 into playlist "Concert video audio camera recordings with LG V30". That way it'd be first when people would search youtube for concert recordings of V30

Does V30 let one record audio in LPCM format when shooting in manual settings like V20 did?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Didi O:
I don't know what audio format it is but in HIFI mode it records in 24bit and in stereo, when the phone switches to concert mode it records the audio in mono using the speaker as a mic.

The Sleeping With Sirens video above is not recorded vith the V30 the Helloween videos and the Rise Against - People Live Here video are from the V30 but The Sleeping With Sirens The Strays London 2017 video is recorded with the V30.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] MisterWinkey:
I just recorded some of the Trans Siberian orchestra last night. Normal mode. No issues switching into concert mode.

It was not that loud so perhaps that has some to do with it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
Correct. You have to cross the 120db threshold to activate the RAM. Chances are that is outside of TSO's standard procedures.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] One Twelve:
Was not able to tell where it got into mono with this one. Then i played with it in an audio program and you're right it gets into mono early on and remains that way only to recover at the end when the music stops and the applause begins

Its around 1:38, stays in mono then recovers arund 2:00. Once the volume increases aorund 2:45 it gets into mono again and recovers only towards the end when the applause starts. Its quite seamless though

Not 0:58, it's at 2:58 as the fans start screaming, the rest of the clip sounds fine if not entirely clear for some reason

Can you explain how you know it gets into concert mode ? does it say concert mode in the view finder

All i can tell is if you do not change any audio settings it will record as is and when the volume gets too loud then it will use the headset speaker as a mic and disable the remaining ones.

I don't know if there is a way to disable this receiver as mic functionality, maybe if you try with the limiter at -3db or -6dB. This will prevent levels from reaching 0 and maybe not require headset mic to activate. If you do so let us know it will be interesting to see the difference.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Didi O:
If it is getting too loud the displays shows that the phone switched to concert mode even when the gain level is turned down.

I will try to use the limiter at -3db and -6db on friday at a loud concert and let you know if the phone also will turn on automatically the concert mode .

https://photos.app.goo.gl/jM0jiUfANc4KR64k2

So from the video it's hard to hear which speaker but you can easily hear the change. Basically what's happening is when listening to music or watching a video audio comes through both speakers. However, when you get a notification all audio stops briefly while it switches to just the bottom speaker, and then stops briefly again to switch back to both speakers. Once it switches to the bottom speaker it gets quieter and audio sounds noticably worse. And if you get multiple notifications at just the right intervals it creates a very choppy listening experience. I don't know if this is intentional or not but I find it very annoying and it makes it feel like the speakers were and afterthought. Also, why do speakerphone calls still come out of the bottom speaker? Why does it not do both like music or videos?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Voicebox:
If someone created stereo alert sounds, would it maybe be an easy fix for the contrast in volume and mono source? Basically be a less stark a contrast? Same sound through both speakers on top of the music in the background.

Totally different topic, but somewhat related - I was going through online reviews today and I think a CNET video mentioned that someone determined the top speaker is tuned to 10 db less than the bottom. They basically ran left the same sound through the "left" speaker and then right. And by using another phone and a decibel meter app showed the top is quieter. Then they said something like when the engineers were tuning the audio, when both were balanced, there was distortion from the top speaker. But when both were balanced, but low enough that there was no distortion, it was too quiet. So they chose to go lower on top and higher on the bottom to have a better overall volume, without distortion. I wasn't listening so close so didn't catch if that was speculation on why or someone divulged that.

I searched later and couldn't find the original source, so it might be something someone just noticed.
