[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kdpainter:
I am having problems with my SM-G965F. My brightness auto adjusts with auto brightness turned off! There is definitely something screwy going on with the auto brightness. After a while, it gets so I can't adjust it at all. That is, I can move the slider full left and right and nothing changes. It doesn't matter is auto brightness is turned on or not. No change.

I have done a factory reset once to clear it but the problem came back. They have this usage memory feature and that may be part of the problem. I found this post on re-calibration of the brightness sensor to be helpful:

www_megebyte_com/auto-brightness-not-working-on-galaxy-note-8-s8-plu

(as a new member of this forum, I am not allowed to post links. replace "_" with "." )

I did this and I got the display brightness back into a reasonable range. However, I can no longer turn auto brightness off at all. very weird.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kdpainter:
UPDATE: Today Samsung released an update to the Samsung Experience Service that seems to have completely solved my auto-brightness issues. Prior to that, I was using Lux Lite and that was working well. If problems come back, I will use that again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Nightwind Hawk:
How'd you get this update? I don't see any updates with this title in the Play Store or Galaxy Apps update section... Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kdpainter:
I got it via the notification screen. Here is a thread discussing it.

forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-s9-plus/888535-samsung-experience-update.html

(I can't post links yet)

Not sure if they are doing a slow rollout or if it is region based. There are some posters who say that when they search the galaxy store, nothing comes up. When I search it, nothing comes up. I have an international version (unlocked). This device was apparently destined to go to Thailand. But one thing is for sure, Samsung fixed the brightness bug but maybe your carrier is holding it up?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kdpainter:
Well, it was working fine until I rebooted. Now the auto-brightness doesn't work again just like before. So, unfortunately, back to Lux Lite. I have to say, that the auto-brightness issue and the battery life of this phone suck.

Hi, I'm from Europe and yesterday I received my brand new A2017G. It's on B09 software version and OTA isnt finding anything newer. Sadly I read in many places (and tested it by myself) that only stock music player can output music to the AKM DAC. Are there any possibilities for me to achive desired result (I mean non-stock players do the same) on stock rom? I assume that I'd have to root and flash some custom rom but I would like to do it in the last resort (I use many banking apps which don't work that good with root and custom roms)

I can't hide the fact that this function is quite a dealbreaker for me. The phone is all great but if I can't use my favourite music player - for example PowerAmp, the what's the point. Stock music player is extremely lacking - and that is saying it lightly.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JLLE:
I have used many players which works fine (with Dolby Atmos) with the stock Rom..

Actually it's Pi music player. But you have Phonograph too and several others. Just give them a try too see it's what you want.

By the way, the last version of the stock Rom for G models is Nougat B10.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
All apps can use the AKM DAC, actually. if you don't believe me go to the sound toggle and, well, toggle it a few times. Now hi-res is another matter, but I believe you are not talking about that specifically. if you are, then only Neutron and maybe those apps jlle mentioned work (i.e. not poweramp)

Just use Poweramp if you don't care about hi-res files and that stuff
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ma_ko:
The question is - I honestly don't know. I just wanted good audio quality. At first I installed poweramp, listened to some songs at the sound was decent. However when during playback I went to android settings -> sound -> headset hifi and switched between super and standard nothing happened. There was no change in music. I assume it's a setting for headphones only but I tested several pairs and nothing. But when I used stock music player I could toggle that setting with audible effect. Another thing (I guess) is Dolby icon visible when you pull down status bar. Is it the same as Dolby Atmos in sound settings? Does it works when using phone's speakers only or you can use it with headphones also? Anyway, on poweramp tapping it brings no change (it won't activate) whereas in stock player it works splendidly...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] desu1337:
It's the same and it works with the speaker or headphons. In speaker I would leave Dolby on,does it's job quite well with it but for headphones I'm turning it off to take use of the AKM dac/super mode,but to really hear a difference you've got to have a pair of high impedance headphones.Also in Poweramp there should be a setting somewhere that makes Dolby work again,but may turn poweramps equalizer off, but I don't know where/what the setting is called since I'm only using spotify atm.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pinkywinky:
F.Y.I., Poweramp only works with HIFI if you use the beta, and include a couple work-arounds in your build.prop. Not the easiest thing in the world to get running, but it sounds great once you do.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Andrew-X:
Dolby and Hi-Fi audio quality are two totally different things. Dolby is the separate audio processing software that works on both speakers and headphones, but does not get too well with Poweramp, while Hi-Fi audio is a setting for choosing which audio processor outputs when using headphones ( the integrated Snapdragon audio proc or the AKM one).

On my A2017G there is a pretty subtle, but clear difference when using Poweramp, between the two Hi-Fi settings: the Super one is a bit louder, has more bass and better soundstage. This can be changed without problems when listening to music using Poweramp.

The Dolby software, though, sometimes can be activated, but then it cannot be deactivated until I stop the music and also the interface still shows that it's deactivated, even though the sound has changed.

My recommendation is to just use the Hi-Fi thing in Settings with the PowerAmp EQ because the Dolby software is not too versatile. This sounds really nice with my headphones.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
naw. It doesn't work at all. The workaround I posted just reroutes the audio path in some obscure way, and it makes sound better out of it (for some reason the equalizer makes more difference) but the sound goes into a mixer path and gets downsampled to 48k. You get to use Viper4Android and Dolby with it though.

It also kills the camera
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
it usually lets you change between super and standard . You should find a difference in the soundstage and better, more defined bass.

The "standard DAC" (also akm, seemingly, but powersaving-oriented) is used for the speakers, and Atmos is designed for phone speakers too. You CAN use it on headphones, but it'll give you a bunch of noise. It doesn't work with Poweramp unless you use 704 and follow my guide on how to "enable hi-fi" on it (the camera will break, you'll need to use another camera app). But it's not worth it unless you use Viper4Android

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pinkywinky:
I guess I'm a little confused here. I've feel like I've had so many discussions on what actually uses the HIFI DAC on this forums (you seem to be one of the few that know we use 2 different AKMs). What procedure are you talking about though? Currently I use AINUR, which supposedly someone with an AXON worked with to get the audio down the right path, and I also use the work around to get Poweramp to use the HIFI mode. From what I heard this should output 24bit 96khz. Unless you are implying that poweramp downgrades audio then upsamples it?

In any case, all 3rd party ROMs use the HIFI DAC by default. Maybe not the full extent, but to be honest the most important thing for HIFI music is mastering. But even so, without full DAC control I still think the phone sounds much better than most others. I do want to try out that custom "ROM" though, see what the controls do.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] argblah:
For my ears, using the bare bones ZTE player produces better sound with headphones, but it just isn't worth dealing with the limits of that player.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
The "procedure" is the workaround you use. It doesn't do what you believe. Poweramp seems to believe that it is offloading via a direct path but it is going through a mixer path. Therefore Poweramp (maybe) processes at high resolution, but it gets downgraded at the output, and you get 48kHz. If you don't believe me that the output is 48 use media.audio_flinger

Ainur has the AK4490 patch integrated. It's no use since a) stock ROMs use it (they have the switch) and b) since long ago all ROMs have integrated the AK4490 patch on them.

You can get Hi-Res on stock and custom M and N ROMs but you have to use Neutron which is horrible. Doesn't work in O ROMs at the moment

i think we had a big discussion with the 2 akm's thing before though, but someone asked ZTE and they replied that they also used the DAC that's inside the AK4961. so i dunno
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
All you need is this.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetappfactory.jetaudioplus

And optionally get the AM3D plugin from within the player. It has everything you could need, even AGC. I've tried so many players and always come back to Jet. Neutron is more flawed from a user interaction perspective and I don't like it.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

I usually keep the stock music app disabled but every now and then Jet gets an update so I enable and listen to stock, then listen to Jet.

Every time, Jet sounds better and I disable stock app again.

I keep Dolby Atmos turned off using BT or 3.5 jack for music and have it on with the inbuilt speakers or if playing a video whatever the audio listening device.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bradleyem:
Ok, this thread is all about using Orb (or possibly other streaming media applications) on your Titan.

I currently use Orb 2.0 to stream all of my media (pictures, music, movies, videos, documents, etc) to my Titan. It works pretty well, but Windows Media player is the default player, and it's somewhat choppy and a resource hog. Some people have reported good results using TCPMP for playing media with Orb. I also use Pocket MVP for movies from my storage card, so I was wondering if that may be a good alternative as well.

My question is...what Codec is used by default to stream media?

What file associations do I need to change in TCPMP (or any other media player)?

What other codecs work, and how well (flash, etc.)

So far I have been unable to get Live TV to work through Orb, but I believe that may be a problem on the desktop app side.

With EVDO and RevA speeds getting better all the time, this is quickly going from a frustrating experiment (try watching a 2 hour movie with it stopping every 3 minutes to cache data)...to a very good replacement for having to store huge amounts of media using precious memory on your device.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] FZ1:
I only have experience using TCPMP so I can't comment on Pocket MVP, but it works great and my be able to replace Pocket MVP for your sd card movies.

I use TCPMP v0.72 RC1 (attached below).

I check all the file type associations in TCPMP except picture files.

I set the "Manual A/V offset +/-" to -400 msec to fix A/V sync.

I change the video driver to "GDI".

Orb streams .asf files by default but if you're using WM6 or WM6.1 you'll need to copy the WM5 WMV9 codecs (also attached) to your pda's \Windows directory for Orb's .asf's to play. Be sure to restart TCPMP after this.

When TCPMP is used with the latest FlashVideoBundle (also attached) it also allows the playing of YouTube (and other) videos from pie. Just run the .cab from \My Documents, soft reset, and click a YouTube vid.

Not sure what your Orb live TV issue is, but remember only one application can have control of a capture card at a time.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bradleyem:
Cool, thanks. I think that I figured out my TV issue. I set it up to use the ATI MPEG encoder thats built into my All-In-Wonder Video card, and it works. I'll just have to see how that works with Divix and MPEG movies, but I would think that it should be better since its a dedicated hardware encoder vs software.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blakksmiff:
I just began using Orb yesterday and it is great!!! My car stereo has built in bluetooth, so as long as Im in an EVDO area, I have access to my entire mp3 collection on the road now.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bradleyem:
So, how well does the bluetooth work for you for stereo? With all of the bluetooth issues, I had put off buying a pair of stereo headphones....but there have definately been some improvements. At least now I can use Voice Command with some reliability :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ktjensen:
Well this looks very interesting as a solution. Does anyone have PIE remembering the password for ORB? I can not get my Titan PIE to remember the password no matter what I do, so I was thinking I need to switch to a different browser.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Total_Lag:
These aren't free, but you can try them and see if you like them:

(These solutions are for if you don't like using PIE to access ORB)

PocketStream Server

:

This program comes with a GUI (although a bit choppy) for the phone, so all you need to do is connect to your computer with the app and it lists all your music/video files. It is streamed with TCPMP.

LobsterTunes

:

This is what I use. Currently it only supports streaming music. It is a uPnP (Universal Plug&Play) app that can connect to any media server that supports uPnP (Orb, WMP11, TVersity). It auto sets up for you so you don't need to input anything. Just load it up and it will auto search for your computer networked sharing folder. The GUI is a lot faster than PocketStream, but it uses WMP as a backend to stream music (not changable).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ktjensen:
Will Lobstertunes support the Internet Radio Stations under my ORB account, and thus stream them? I am all for trying something else that will work more efficiently with ORB (or any other pnp server software - as long as it works with all modalities of the pnp software).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zenoran:
wow... glad I came across this thread... lobster sounds EXACTLY what I was looking for... streaming media in car just isn't viable... the funny thing is, evdo is MUCH faster than streaming bandwidth but you never take advantage of that extra bandwidth when you're streaming...

this looks awesome.. it downloads your songs in the background so no skipping between towers!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Total_Lag:
Lobstertunes does support radio stations, but I'm not sure if it *sees* the ORB radio stations. Best thing to do would be to create a playlist with the radio station on it. I haven't tried it before because I use TCPMP for radio.

That's one thing I like about it. It always downloads half your available storage memory, so when it reaches that threshold, it will just overwrite previous files so you don't have to worry about wasting space.

I also came across this software:

http://www.pocket-tunes.com/

and it looks pretty slick lol, but I'm not sure if it'll work on the Titan. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime tonight. I'm looking for something to replace LobsterTunes because although it works, it's still a little slow in my opinion.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SKullman:
I've been using ORB since the mogul came out and previously on my Treo 700wx.

I do have to admit my 4 year old has used it more than I have...the quality while traveling on the interstate is quite impressive.

I do have to try the tcpmp, maybe it will put it over the top.

My only failure with ORB 2.0 and the old version is neither will record for me, but I'm sure it's my fault.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Zenoran:
orb is good... I like it.. I just wish there was a software front-end for it for the ppc..

I was really excited to get lobstertunes a try but it simply does not work on my device... not quite sure why but it crashes during the login process. :(
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Total_Lag:
I found that error too, one way to fix it is to open up lobsterconfig.txt from within the install directory on your PPC and edit the line from /localtest=false to /localtest=true

Don't have the config file on your phone? There should be one in x:\program files\ElectricPocket\Lobster just edit the line and transfer the file to your PPC.

hey

just got scammed off a xz premium clone and as there was nothing I could do about it and the software already installed on the phone was full of bugs and a junk, I tried to flash a custom rom which, as it is obvious already, resulted in problems with the mob. It showed black screen and nothing more after flashing, using sp flash tool. Googled and as suggested, I downloaded what was to be a stock rom for the mob but it just got things from bad to worse and now am stuck with a device which the best it could do is being detected by the sp flash tool.

tried various roms but always stuck with the error "4032". any idea what I could do or what might be the right rom to flash?

thanks

Maybe this will help a little

Now this rom is without doubt the one for the mob and apart from the info, which I recall when I checked the mob before the problem occurred, the shots do also match the junk I have in my hand

any suggestions?

Hello everyone,

I received Oreo update 3 days ago and I have noticed that my battery is draining since that update. For instance, when I use facebook it drains by 1% every 2 minutes and it was not like that before update. What should I do?

Also, use Betterbatterystats and give it permissions on adb. Post screenshots from that. The one you posted already isn't telling at all.
