Poor sound quality over headphones with microphone

Hello,

Today I got new headphones but the sound quality is poor. I think it may be due to headphones having microphone - thus 4-pole connector. I know there are more types of these connectors, and I don't really need a microphone so I was wondering if something like this would help.

Text messages over car bluetooth stopped working

I have a 2013 ford c max and I've run multiple 5.1.1 roms on my galaxy s5 and the car would read the texts after recognizing the phone has received it.

i have tried to disable hangouts and use messaging but that won't work cause i can't get many of my text or picture messages... its a great app but missing that functionality would be more impressive.

Has anyone else come up with issues like this and if so any apps that will solve this.

btw i am on project fi

Flash developer ROM over the Stable with Mi Recovery?

This way it's in the right place.

How can I flash the developer ROM over the Stable one with a Mi Recovery and with Native Root? (No costum recovery and SuperSU)

All the guides I saw use custom recovery. Can I just change the name of the .zip to "update.zip" and choose update?

By the way, is there a mirror to download the official ROM, I can´t complete the download from the official site...

Thanks

At a loss over signal loss.

I have an annoying signal loss problem that has been on-going since 4.4, seemed to get a bit better with 5.0, but is bad again with 5.1. At random intervals the phone just loses all signal, as in no bars at all (just an empty triangle), and not even a provider showing. It does say "Emergency Calls Only" in the titlebar, not "No Service", suggesting it actually has signal. This is exactly what it does with no SIM inserted, but I have tried different SIMs to no avail. Eventually it does come back again by itself, but restarting the phone always fixes it straight away.

I can also trigger this behaviour by making a call. Sometimes it works, but sometimes as soon as the call connects, the signal does as described above (so naturally the call drops).

I have googled this for hours and found some problems that sounded similar, but no suggested fixes made a lasting fix on mine. One suggested fix was to clear cache and data for the "Phone" app, force stop, then restart. However, I noticed I have 3 apps labelled Phone. Is this normal? I did the clear/stop/restart on all of them, and that possibly helped for a while, but it started doing it again.

Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this?

Flash Developer over Stable with Mi Recovery and Native Root??

Is it possible to flash thr developer ROM over the Stable one with a Mi Recovery and with Native Root? (No costum recovery and SuperSU)

ADB over online not wifi

Let me explain a little bit over frustration :mad:. People always assume what you meant instead of listen carefully what you asked for. I asked over so-called people in chat room about how do i send adb command over online. They always point me out to ABD over wifi. Then they go afk or ignored me after they thought they found a solution for me. :eek:

so let me elaborate what im looking for. i know there's a lot of app that only dose adb over wifi. Im at work and i have no control of my workplace router so theres no way i can control my phone with a pc within the router network. However, i can control my phone if there's an app or way around that can do it over 'online' and not over wifi everyone kept misunderstood me. Guys read carefully, lol. i have no control of my workplace router so i cant do nothing within the network using internal ip. My phone have 5 strong bars of signal so internet is not a problem for my phone. i want to control it over online. there once was an app similar to airdroid that have build in abd command. i had it before but after i reset my phone and formatted my pc, i forgot to saved my data. if anyone can point me to the right direction it be appreciated.

I'm no longer in relationship with google. i found out she been fingered by strangers all over the world. that $lut!:silly: i searched and search with no avail.

[Q] Start over or keep flashing? battery issue

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit new to this but bear with me. I got an S5 SM-G900A this week with OA1 loaded on monday night. After spending tuesday marveling at how much bloatware was on it and how horrible the battery life was I rooted and began freezing and uninstalling some apps. Day 2 with the phone was also very bad, it nearly died in 8 hours with less than 1 hour screen time. Today, Day 3, I began tweaking a lot of the settings to see if I could get it do better at idle, but again it barely lasted through the day. It took me a while to figure out the "WiFi always scanning" setting, but even once I got my phone to sleep, it didnt seem to make that much difference (no blue bar in usage manager). I've attached some screenshots from usage manager and wakelock detector, does this all look normal to the experts out there?

Should I just flash back to stock to see if I can get the phone at least making it to 15+ hours with light usage on the completely stock setup? I feel inclined to do this, because it SHOULD work bone stock, right? Or is it a waste of time and the stock rom is so bad I should just load something else?

Finally, if I did want to try going back to completely stock I could just follow the troubleshooting section of this post, is that correct? can I flash the OTA updates in the same manner using ODIN instead of sideloading from an sdcard? http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...-2015-t3021120

How to install monthly Nexus firmware updates without starting over?

Usually when a new Android OS version is released, I'll just start over from scratch by manually flashing the seven image files using fastboot. I then install the unencrypt kernel/boot image and also root.

Now that these security updates are coming out every month, is there an easier way in my specific situation to install the update only without having to start from scratch every time like above?

Nexus 6--- MMS over WiFi

I bought an Unlocked Nexus 6 from the Google Play Store 9 months ago (I love it), I'm using it on Verizon,... I have No problems at all sending MMS photos through messenger while connected to WiFi.

Then today I bought a Verizon Nexus 6 though Costco and MMS only works if Data is enabled. IT WILL NOT SEND PICTURES OVER WiFi??

I've compared the 2 devices, settings, VPN's, both are rooted, both running the same LMY48M, everything seems identical, yet the NEW Nexus 6 will not do WiFi MMS Photos it requires a data connection?

What am I overlooking?

Thanks.

Call Back Number being Sent over SMS

Strange, I've "upgraded" my M9 to a G4.

Now when my wife sends me a text message from her Bad Boys M8 I see her phone number listed on every text message. I thought the problem was the G4.

Turns out the problem is with the M8 and M9.

M8 always sends a Call Back number. There is an option to shut it off, but If you shut the option off or wipe out the call back number in the HTC Messenger app, it puts it right back.
The M9 never displayed it (maybe it's an option to filter out). But G4 always shows it, if it's there.

Everyone else sending me messages has no call back. Only the M8, which explicitly says to send it and cannot be defeated. And the M9 quietly hides it even when you want it.

Flashing firmware over firmware

Hi, im still on Android 5.0.1
Becouse my country has not released 5.1 yet.

Im rooted at the moment, but if I flash the same firmware as im running now, will I lose my root and keep my apps?

The whole plan is to go back unrooted and get the 5.1 update ota.

Im getting les time to flash roms and all that so I want my phone to be stock again and live with the annoying adds without adaway.

But I don't want to lose my apps and settings and start all over again.

Google Now Intermittent Not Working & Low Volume over BT

Running latest version with stage fright update & latest Google app.

Audio output from Google Now is muffled & quiet over BT.

Also frequently it won't recognise the Google Now voice command and/or fails to recognise the instruction after opening, sometimes saying cannot connect to Google or words to that effect.

It seems to be rock solid without BT.

I'm sure it was fine before the stage fright update.

Note, this is following a full RUU reinstall/reset, then OTA

Any assistance gratefully received.

Buying the Z3 over the coming Z5

Hi,

I wanna buy the Sony Z3 although it has been out the market for a while since September last year, i'm still impressed by its design however, i would like to ask you guys here about it, should I wait for the Z5 or buy the Sony Z3 which is a bit cheaper at the moment.

Personally, I prefer the Z3 (lower price, better design - my personal point of view, and still adapt almost everything one smartphone needs to have .. )

How about you guys and is there any owner of Z3 can give me some more suggestions ?

Thanks a lot

Digital audio out over airplay (allstream)..

Hey guys

I'm currently experimenting with my htc and an Soundmate audio reciever to get an optical audio signal that a can connect to my audio processor I have installed in my car.

I'm using the allshare app to get the audiostream over airplay to the soundmate reciever.

It works well and I'm pleased with the solution.

But I have one question thou..
Does anyone know if the signal is transmitted before being encoded in the phones Dac or if it takes the bitstream after and sends it over the airplay?

Sorry for my bad English but I hope you understand my question

Moving installed apps and data over to a new Shield quesitons

I'm getting a new Shield Portable and wanted to know what is the best and easiest way to move all of my installed apps, emulators and such over to the new one? I was just going to copy the folders over to the new one but I'm sure there will be problems. Also I am not rooted.

I have apps installed on the device, but I've also had the OS move some of the installs over to the external SD card to save storage, so I was certain just copying them will cause issues with updates and stuff, but I don't know for sure.

Also I have emulators installed as well and then moved them over to the external SD card.

I know the roms will be ok as they're not installed and just sitting on the external SD card.

Is there an easy way to move all of this stuff over? Any apps that would help with this? Anything?

any help would be appreciated

Misc files over 20 gb?

Hello guys, I hope you can help.

So, last week I had a problem with my lg g2. When dialing a number it would show the wrong contact number, so I thought, what the heck, I'm still with KK (I'm lazy), time to upgrade! I've flashed a rom but something went wrong and I softbricked the phone. I was able to go into download mode and restore the latest official LG firmware (I made sure to download the 32gb version of it). However, now I have 21.87 gb of Misc files and I have no clue what they are or what is the problem. Ideas? Thanks!

Is S6 worth buying over N6?

Hey all,

I had already ordered a Black Sapphire 32 GB version but I'm still in a state of confusion with N6 and S6. The battery backup and less Dev support is a bit of concern for me.
Moreover I had come across some RAM Management issues on S6.

Please comment your views. I was a previous user of Oneplus One :)

Is the age of owning phones over? Unrootable Verizon Note 4, 5, X, ?

No hope for my note 4 on B0G5.
No more root on Verizon or ATT flagships. Now I feel like I lease my B0G5 Note 4. Appropriate that it looks like "Bog".

Is that where it's all heading? All of our "smartphones" will only be leased by their carriers to serve their corporate advertising and sales goals?

I bought Android in the first place because I detested the herding that apple does with its customers, and how it locks their ecosystem. Now, Verizon and ATT have closed the open source door on devices.

I'm bummed. I think there's no freedom that won't be taken over by corporate interests, and strangled silent. Maybe my perspective is skewed- but now that a lot of players have been shaken out of the market, it seems vendors feel free to consolidate their hold and herd us down the cattle chutes to dine on our contracts.

Are we all turning into Apple owners now? Does anyone see a carrier/vendor/customer combo that will work in our interests going forward? Or is it over?

Switched over from Iphone. Got some Questions!

Hey there guys!

So I switched over from iphone after 4 years of owning an iphone since I had .. NO FREEDOM haha so im loving the phone so far! but I do miss some things from my iphone and wondering if there is a solution?

1. Imessage - I know its gone, but is there any apps that let me reply from my computer or tablet if I get a text on my phone?

2. wifi-phone - on the iphone I can answer calls on my computer from my iphone and talk, I know there is side sync but it wont install on windows 10. I was wondering if anyone knew of a dialer app or something that can help me? I am using true dialer simply due to the fact no call goes un-masked :D

3. photos/Gallery- This kinda bugs me but im sure someone here knows. I go on a lot of business trips and take photos while im out. I like to put them in albums and then just hide them away so I dont have to scroll through them all to get to a photo I took before I left. is there a way to have certain photos not show up in google photos? also, a way to hide my downloaded videos from my photo viewer? I dont wanna see all my batman animated series videos meshed in with family photos and such.

4. A good assistant: coming from siri I may be a tad spoiled, but google doesnt have the assistant activate by holding the home key, instead I have to hit the home key, say "okay google" and then it lets me search. can I jump straight to the "listening mic mode" ? or any 3rd party assistants you recommend?

5. passbook. I use it for flights and such. I would store all my boarding passes and loyalty cards in passbook. Is there an alternate android version of this?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time. I really hope some of these are solvable !
