[Q] Got Problem with Carbon Rom on my Sony Xperia S :d - General Questions and Answers

Hello Guys!,
I've got a problem with my Custom Rom on my Xperia S
Everytime, I'm switching during headset is plugged to my smartphone from stock music player (It's Apollo,i guess) to an other page (like homescreen,app drawer,settings etc.) the music changs from headset to the main speaker! (So everyone can hear my music!)
I tried different Custom Roms (like CM or Paranoid) but every one have got the same problem. Here's the link to Carbon
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617846
Thats really enoying because otherwise this rom is fantastic (better then CM etc.) and i don't want to buy especially for this problem a new pair of In-Ears. Funnily enough that with normal headphones this problem is not present (like normal Over-Ears)
Does somebody maybe know the problem and the way to fix it? I would be very glad for all answers to that! :good:

Maybe, it would be a better idea to post in that custom mode thread...
So, wait until you have enough rights, and then...

general questions from a new andriod user useing the Huawei U8651T

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I can't seem to post to the treads related to what about to ask.
I just got the t-mobile prism (aka: Huawei U8651T), Its my first android phone and a good step up from having used the nokia nuron 3250. I have to say I'm a little disappointed with the most simple things that this phone doesn't do and I'm already looking into at least rooting my phone if not installing a better rom (assuming there are better roms) and that is the purposed topic of this post.
I've read up on the "How to root Huawei U8651T http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698905 and it seems easy enough to do but I want to make sure that rooting and/or flashing to a different rom will actually fix the small disappointments I've found in my phone. Here is the list...
1, Camera options suck in just about every way. There are pathetic presets to control the white balance and other setting. I've had more options on far lesser phones. Not to mention the poor interface in general.
2. the music player has extremely simple with no built in EQ at all. This one I did find a way to overcome with a small global eq but serously the built in stuff should at least have a preset eq like jazz, rock, bass, flat etc.
3. the alarm clock and texting sounds have to be tmo's preset stuff. I can't set either to a custom ringtone or mp3. Again I found a work around for the alarm clock but not the texting and all these extra programs is steeling away the little memory space this phone has.
4. and finally I have seen programs on the apps/programs list that I can't use or find anywhere else. I'm not talking about the ones that run in the background that run say the keyboard or hardware, I'm talking programs I should be able to use.The one that pops out first is the Sound Recorder. its on there but I can't find anyway to actually use it.
So here is my questions... Will rooting my phone give me a way to change some of these issues? Will installing a different rom?
I'm also instrested in knowing what the CyanogenMod 7.2 STABLE (2.3.7) 16-06-2012 rom is really like vs the stock rom and what other roms there are out there that will work on my phone. I use would like to hear from KrisM22 if your out there but I've love anyone's knowledgeable opinion. thanks for your help.
by rooting & installing CM7 you will solve all this problems coz CM7 provides a wide variety of functionality.
3. You can set custom ringtones and notification sounds very easily. Create a folder on sd card called "media" within that folder create another folder "audio" and within that create a folder called "ringtones" for ringtones and "notifications" for notification sounds.

I tried several different camera apps and it all defaulted to the presets the original app had. so is it hard wired into the hardware or just the roms programing ?
Hi brothers,
I've just been flashed Cy 7.2 on my T-mo prism. But i forgot to back up stock roms. That so bad. Does anyone here have a backup image or stock rom of T-mobile prism ? Please help me!!!

Well once I commit to doing this I'll be backing up mine that I can send along to you. But tell me having run the other rom how does your phone like it? Does it address the issues I've posted? Give me your review please
This rom works quite well for me -> http://www.mediafire.com/?zr5x3lb9xr0kvvf
more info
Cool can tell me more about it? Do a review on it for me please
Well, I just like the way the screens look with the rom...you have to manually install a camera app, music app, and file manager, because the ZaD!!RoM didn't come with them. Also, the phone would shut down occasionally due to overclocking, so I had to adjust that too.
I guess what I'm saying is the ZaD!!RoM is good if you like to do a lot of your own customizing/tweaking. Otherwise, try the Cyanogenmod rom.
Good luck!

Thank you so much for place the link on the stock rom. I am trying to recover the phone back to factory WITHOUT CWM as the boot loader. I am trying to follow instructions of how to reflash in the XDA forums but run into a brick wall for the update.app is not in the stock rom that you provided. Is there something you can do to help on this?
Thanks
I'm trying to follow veer1238 instructions but do not have the update.app. Help please!:crying:
Uh Oh!
I have a T-Mobile Prism that I need to unroot and turn it back into factory conditions. There is a problem though, when I flash the factory rom, the custom recovery flashes it then it says installation aborted. I really need to fix this since I formatted the /system. Thank you for your response.
Info:
Device: T-Mobile Prism U8651T
Custom Recovery: CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.0
Rom: Cyanogenmod 7.2 UNOFFICIAL

Removing these apps(With Titanium backup) and installing play store alternatives is a good start but cm works too.
Poweramp is a good music app that lets you tune eq with the freq.
Stock roms usually suck until they are messed with.
(As you can see I like to modify stock to my whims and I dont like custom roms, only custom kernels)
You can try my tool in my signature because it has a rooting feature.
But if your running android 4.0 or above it wont root
In that case you will have to look for device specific methods.

[Q] CM11S to CM12 Audio out of Sync with Video (Google Movies)

Hi Everyone,
I would love to upgrade my current One Plus One to Lollipop, however, each time I install a custom Lollipop Rom, my google movies audio/video are not in syn and it drives me crazy, it's like watching an old Japanese Karate film, the lips are moving but the audio shows up 2..3 seconds later.
I have gone from a total restore of my One Plus one to 11S, then unlocking, loading a recovery, creating a back-up then loading a new Lollipop ROM, it does it no matter how I approach moving to a Lollipop Rom? Anyone have ideas/suggestions on what might be the issue?
The only non-ROM upgrade I did was installed one of the audio upgrades a while back, it seemed to start after that was done, however, restoring to stock should have removed that, maybe it did not? Any help at all would be great as I would love to move up to Lollipop for the advancements and battery saving it provides.
Thank You and Regards

[Q] Bluetooth Music BitPool too low

Hi everybody.
I've owned A LOT of Android devices, i think this phone will be my number 22 Android phone through time
I've also tried Iphone 3G back in the days (BVADR..), and a couple of Windows Phones..
Bluetooth music streaming in both Windows Phone and Iphones, are really good. It is so good actually, that i don't even bother putting in my AUX cable, because i can't really hear a great difference.
On any Android i tried (not with CM10 back in the days), there is clearly a quality downgrade! It must be something that bother others as well??
Now i know that the Bluetooth music streaming in Android is, well the most unacceptable piece of sh..t that ever was produced , but it bothers me that the only Rom that fixes this, and keeps fixing it, is CyanogenMod. Don't get me wrong, i really like CM 10, 11, 12, but i like Sony's "skin/template" a Little bit better, and would like to keep using that.
I have however reached a point now where i will do just about anything to fix the bluetooth music streaming in my new car. So i will, if i have to install CM12 on my Z3 and Loose a lot of the great features (camera) just for the bluetooth fix.
Before i do it though, isn't there a developer in here that knows where to fix this in general for the Lollipop release? It would be really great to have a BitPool fix, where we can overwrite some system files, or install a zip in recovery, or a Little app that could set the BitPool easy for us..
I'm not a developer but do Work in the IT businness and will of course be able to be beta tester or help in any way that i can!
If a developer can even pinpoint me to which files i need to change, i can go ahead and root my Z3, and do it myself. Would even put in a nice PowerPoint guide (and i'm really not the PowerPoint guy ), so that others can do it too.
Please help a frustated Android bluetooth user
this isn't development and should be in the Q&A section, i've reported this so a mod can move it to the appropriate place
All right thank you. I hope that developers look in the q&a section then

Sound enhancer /equalizer not working.

Can't hear any difference in sound when enabling clearaudio+, dynamic normalizer or when using equalizer. Noise cancellation is working, and overall the sound is good, but would like for the above mentioned to work.
Currently running stock. 28 firmware, rooted and recovery. Been trying a few other roms, but same problem. Tried disabling all xposed modules, but no change.
Mainly streaming with wimp (tidal)
Anyone with a clue to this?

Maybe it only works with Sony app???
It has always worked with other media players, both on my z3 and z2.

I'm a little late here, but found your post while searching for the same answer with the same issue. In a nutshell, Sony has decided to blame the app developers instead of themselves. In Kit Kat, it was more of a "global" equalizer where if you changed any sound settings, it happened across the device in any app. Now, app developers have to choose whether or not to enable the equalizer. In my eyes, this was a horrible move. I use Tidal (wimp) as well, and it sucks to not be able to use any of the benefits of the Sony sound. If you try Spotify, however, they have decided to play ball so when you enter the "equalizer" it simply redirects you to all of Sony's audio tweaks. This is fantastic!
Now, I'm considering switching to Spotify even though I love Tidal. I wish this issue was fixed.
For what it's worth, the equalizer on my S6 works no matter what streaming program I'm using. Why can't you do the same thing Sony?!?!
Despite the bad news, hope this clarifies for you.

Jesus christ man, the timing of your reply freaked me out ? I've just installed prerooted 5.1.1, and still having the same problem. Just decided to do a complete wipe, thinking my upgrading might have done something (never wiped data). So, sitting here backing up apps, littarally minutes away from wiping system and your reply ticks in on my Smartwatch 3 ?
As you told, I checked using Spotify, - and yes, everything works! Damnn you sony!! I'm quite up to date, but this information I've never heard of before! Why do they suddenly shift things like this, damnn, I like tuning my sound when listening to music...
Thank you so very much for your reply, and enlightenment on the issue! Have a great weekend!

Cheers Dude. I think this issue affects about 1% of Z3/Z3+ users (I have both) and it is not on Sony's radar to fix. It's greatly upsetting to me, though.
I'm not sure if I can link to an external page, but here is the 9-page long post on the Sony forums about it:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...blem-after-lollipop-update/td-p/955035/page/9
I guess we could use a 3rd party app for an EQ and whatnot, but I find Sony's ClearBass or whatever it's called to be very valuable on some tracks.
A good weekend to you too,

i really want an AOSP rom but....

Hello guys my HTC is getting slower and im thinking an AOSP rom could help am i right?
but 2 things is preventing me of installing one
the HTC's sync program: i cant find an alternative of it .... i mean htc sync syncs "all" new media to my pc but others like mobile go will backup the media to a file"file.bak" so i cant browse these media just restoring it to my mobile! or im missing something?
also i've tried double twist(its not syncing media from sub-folders like whatsapp) and my phone explorer(i couldn't understand it )
so its not as good as htc syc
the beats audio: most of these aosp roms has DSP manager which is not good and also microphone audio is bad and low so calling and voice
recording is not good
thanks guys i hope someone can help me out
Hello mhammadakkad,
definately true. I was using the InsertCoin Sense6 rom for quite some time. Switching to AndroGeek's CM12.1 rom was the best I could do to my old one mini
What do you want to sync? I have never been using HTC sync but if by "media" you mean the files on your sdcard partition, they are easily accessible using MTP mode.
As for Beats Audio, I think it is somewhat overrated. Audio quality is great with CM :good:

thanks for reply @encelados i will give it a try
i take a lot of photos and not every time i want to move these photos to my pc i have to look for them select copy past... kind of annoying
htc sync knows the new media and moves it automatically:good:
about audio quality i can ignore quality but i cant live with low mic volume
i will try cm12.1 i hope its good enough
Edit:
i flashed cm12.1 today its pretty awesome and smooth but VoIP calls isn't working !
VoIP not working seems to be microphone/speaker related. I can establish a VoIP call without a problem but I cannot hear anything and the callee can not hear me.
If however I press a number on the mobile, the callee can hear the corresponding tone on the other side. I am pretty sure this could be fixed as well as the problem with the low microphone sensitivity.
