Bit of an obscure question, but am wondering if anyone has had success with playing back "Hi-Res" audio files back at their native rates?

I'm running the B01 Beta atm and loving it, but its been pointed out that regardless of playback configuration (Neutron HighRes Enabled/PowerAmp Direct mode/Stock Player) files are played at 16bit/48khz.

Best indication of this behaviour is after running

su
dumpsys media.audio_flinger

In a terminal returns a whole bunch of readings including:

Output thread 0xe4783400, name AudioOut_D, tid 1689, type 0 (MIXER):
I/O handle: 13
Standby: no
Sample rate: 48000 Hz
HAL frame count: 1920
HAL format: 0x1 (AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT)
HAL buffer size: 7680 bytes
Channel count: 2
Channel mask: 0x00000003 (front-left, front-right)
Processing format: 0x1 (AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT)
Processing frame size: 4 bytes
Pending config events: none
Output device: 0x8 (AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADPHONE)
Input device: 0 (AUDIO_DEVICE_NONE)
Audio source: 0 (default)

Kinda disappointing given these devices have the the hardware capability to run up to 32/192 files AFAIK.

My current B01 install has been running perfectly, even with multiple gcam installs, magisk 16.4, and what I previously thought was 'bit-perfect' playback of the HiRes files I store on my microSD.

So I was wondering if anyone has faced similar issues on this B12 Beta. If not, looks like ill have some reading to do in light of this new bootstack/encryption business :silly: to get this B12 Beta up and running :good:

Try UAPP?

http://www.extreamsd.com/index.php/uapp-trial
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
I hadn't thought of that, so thanks for the suggestion :)

Unfortunately its the same story. UAPP and Neutron both report that they outputting at the native resolution of the files im testing (24/96 & 24/48), but the terminal command shows the system only processing 16/48 :confused:

Might be because these Beta releases are just that, betas.

Its not a deal breaker, my device seems to love Oreo far more than it did Nougat, but its still disappointing given the audio prowess of these devices.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vince313:
Yo,

Same on b12 unfortunately...

I did notice that the audio output was worse, especially for the front speakers, but rapidly forgot about it.

This weekend I will retry nougat, and hope to be surprised by the sound quality.

In fact a friend of mine, who owns an axon 7, told me that the quality was worse on nougat than on marshmallow.

Did you check the output quality on nougat? I didn't so i'm curious
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
Not me personally, but another member on the B01 thread said this :

"Hi-res audio output isn't possible with this rom. It's limited to 16-bit and 48kHz. Tested with Poweramp/Neutron and even with the stock player. So the main advantage (excellent audio) from this phone is gone with this beta. Back to Nougat "

So ive assumed Nougat to be working
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrus D.:
Nope. The Axon 7 has had its audio truncated to 16 bit on M, N, and now O. Frustrating considering how much they advertised their DAC's 32 bit capability. Half my damn music is 24 bit, and yes with the right pair of headphones under the right conditions there can be an audible difference. Luckily to me it's almost nothing, but it's still frustrating nonetheless. I contacted the Android channel (forgot their name) who initially reported on it, through multiple forms of media, to ask about it (like if it's at a firmware level or what) and they didn't respond.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
Well, thats even more disappointing :(

Some people seem to have had success with ASOP based oreo roms re: HiRes playback, and given the LOS15.1 port is already look very solid, i might give that a shot later down the track
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] janthe6th:
hi all, newbie question: what is this encryption/decryption thing and why do people care about it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kountry83:
Encryption=disables modifications to system and rights to other system objects.

Decryption=enables modifications to system.

I have problems with Bluetooth. Phone do not connect automatically to car. I have to turn off and then on BT inside the car in order to work.

Any workaround?

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] beastobadness:
You know what the irony is...for all the ways I have tried to get HiRes files working through a wired set of cans on O (using AEX atm), my Bluetooth set are the only ones that will output HiRes 24/96 without down sampling according to the dumpsys and that is only down to the aptX blobs that were baked in for BT.

Did you try with these settings enabled?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
Yup :') tried that, tried forcing the output to match the different files I was playing, to no avail :/ It would appear ZTE invested in decent enough hardware, but not the software to leverage it properly

I'm having this exact issue. Have you ever fixed the problem?

Thanks.

Have you downloaded the latest flashable daydream.zip with the libs integrated?

Another question, are you using the Daydream View 1st gen 2016 version?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] romitkin:
Thank you for your answer.

I have removed the side loaded daydream, vr services and keyboard, and then used the latest daydream.zip. The issue still happens. When I move, even just a little, everything becomes blurry until I stop moving. It looks like screen ghosting.

I have the 1st gen daydream.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kountry83:
I've talked to others about this issue and it seems like everyone I talk to that has this issue has the daydream view 1st gen. I have the 2nd gen and it works great so I looked into it and haven't found the problem why it's doing this on the first gen. Have you played around with the setting in settings/display/advance/when device is in VR? I put options in there.

I'll look into it more but I'm starting to hit a dead end.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] romitkin:
Yeah I tried the following:

Both options in the when device is in VR menu.

Tried switching from Daydream view to Daydream view 2017 in the headset menu.

If I could dual boot and have Nougat for Daydream only that would be very good. I am not sure this ROM can support it, though. I couldn't get it to work.

Hello,

How can I keep fastboot working when upgrading for Oreo bootstack on A2017 G ?

Thanks.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 0Kajuna0:
I am seeing the same problem. Blurry movement and narrower depth of field (you can see the edges more easily). It's still usable and youc anforget easily about the issue. I'm not sure how it could be related to the headset, as they are "just pieces of plastic, foam and glasss" with no active electronics. Do you mean that the software is only malfunctioning when paired with the older model? I do have the old one, which was working well in Nougat.

Thank you for the reply. Looks like my choices are stuck with my current setup and hope ZTE bugs out an official Oreo release or jump to the beta and deal with the idiots that come with that (the encryption and SD card conflict worries me)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] miniwire:
Does anybody else have the problem that when trying to charge the phone(charger & cable from zte), the maximum Current is somehow limited. Just updated to B12 from AEX and now it is charging with ~700 mA from 70% onwards. Is it intentional, because its quite annoying to be honest.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyborgshogun:
This seems pretty normal. As far as batteries go, the closer you get to full capacity, the lower the charging current will be. It's just physically harder to flow electrons into a battery that is approaching full charge.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] miniwire:
I know that this is quite normal, but using AEX made it possible to charge almost with max. current until around 90% i believe it was, Also on stock nougat iirc it was possible to charge with more current when the battery was almost full.

The other thing i have noticed, sometimes WhatsApp does not receive messages until I manually open the app, anybody else?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyborgshogun:
This happened to me with regular SMS messages. I disabled the battery saving policies for the app. If you haven't already, try disabling the power saving policies for WhatsApp.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] miniwire:
I have tried that since I installed this rom, do you think that this should be the right configuration in The power manager?

Btw: thank you for your help

I can not flash following packages on my A2017U

2. Jojoc V2.1 or V3.1 module via TWRP V3.2 ( works within Magisk)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyborgshogun:
Go into the app info (settings, apps & notifications, app info, WhatsApp, battery, battery optimizations, all apps) and see if WhatsApp is optimized. If it is being optimized, turn off all optimizations.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] llaalways:
I have installed Jojoc V3.1 module within Magisk, but battery life is still bad.

Is there any setting in module will help battery life?

Another thing is the unlock patch seems not work with this ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] timmtomm8:
not on v2.10B12 US any more, switched over to AospExtended ROM V5.6 ... I think you could bypass safetynet (there is also a fix in the OP), but this changed with the installation of xposed ... (same situation on AospExtended ROM V5.6 right now)
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aljazzair:
Hello folks,

.

I'd like to purchase a Sony z4 tablet for use as a car gps (among other things).

.

I owned a z3 Sony tablet for a while, it was a very good product except I could not use it with my *polarized* sunglasses in landscape mode, screen became invisible.

So I now have a galaxy tab s2 9.7, the super amoled screen is visible in both landscape and portrait modes with polarized sunglasses. :cool:

.

I'm considering the z4 tablet due to its 16/9 form factor, as opposed to 4/3 in use by Samsung on their tablets. However it's not available in stores where I live, can only order online from overseas, and there is no way I can try it first.

.

I'd be grateful if some of the current users of the z4 could try polarized sunglasses to see if it can be used normally in landscape mode.

.

.

Thanks in advance for your kind advice.

:cool::cool::cool::cool:
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangoku38130:
Hi aljazzair,

I can confirm that with the xperia Z4 tablet the screen is well displayed with polarized sunglasses (oakley flak 2.0) in landscape mode, and totaly black on portrait.

This is completly different with my xperia z3 phone :) (black in landscape and bright in portrait) which is not very useful when you activate the gps.

[General Questions and Answers] DataStream3:
Recently I was able to port a custom recovery to my new phone Blu Vivo 8L. However I can't test it, because I cannot access fastboot/download mode. I've tried using the adb commands (adb reboot download, adb reboot fastboot, and adb reboot-bootloader) and none of them seemed to work. My phone would reboot as expected but instead of being taken to download/fastboot mode my phone would simply just turn off and nothing more. I tried pushing a combination of buttons with the phone off and was only able to access recovery, and a weird mode I've never heard of called Factory Mode (you can test hardware, clear eemc, etc.). Something I found interesting is that in recovery mode there is an option to reboot to the bootloader (I tried that and it didn't even work, just another black screen). Can someone help me? I really want to access my bootloader so I can unlock it, flash my ported recovery, and get root access. Thanks!
