Hi Guys,
Complete nood here, sorry!
I've just rooted my Desire (did it first time, no issues whatsoever!) I'm sticking with my current stock rom for now (still undecided on which 2.2 rom to go for and don't have time tonight!)
However, one thing i really want to do with root access is remove the EU volume restriction on my phone. I've done a fair bit of hunting but can't find a dam thing on it.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.
Bump +1 this is the quietest phone I ever had.
I debranded my Orange Desire using a Europe ROM - didn't make a difference. I found a "WWE ROM" and it's much louder now.
I take it this volume limit has now been forced upon us?
I have found volume to be better since upgrading to froYo - not sure if its me but its definitely louder now...
I'm using a stock 2.2 rom (unbranded, rooted) and the volume is definitely lower than it was in 2.1.
I would be very interested in any solution to this...

Yeah, I thought is was louder also after froyo update

Hi guys. I bought nexus couple days ago and returned it cus of signal strength, sound, keyboard and screen issues. So I've got a couple questions please.
1: I read that 4.0.4 Google ICS update will fix the low speaker volume. Anyone know if this is true or how to fix this now?
2: I was typing in here, xda app once and the keyboard paused every couple letters. Typing was terrible. Is this just a fluke or normal? Seemed better elsewhere sometimes so just curious.
3: can you make the radio better? It was on 3g mostly at home where the Rezound is on 4G mostly.
4: how do the included ear buds sound?
5? I played the game Monopoly and the sound was buggy with the shoe. You'd hear the shoe each space and on the last one it had the sound one extra time.
6: in monopoly the touch screen was terrible. You touch stuff but it picks something else like you touched somewhere else. This in auction screen and trade area. Made it unplayable.
I have Rezound but screen digitizer thing bothers me. Reminds me of anti glare. So I might want to get the nexus again if the above issues could be fixed or made better somehow.
Thank you.

1. I tried 4.04 only for few mins and i didn't notice any difference. In mean time we can use Volume+, it really helps a lot.
2. Same here. Especially noticeable when predictive text enabled. Now i'm sorry that i didn't check that while i had 4.0.4.
3. All we can do is to wait for driver updates and hope that things will improve. Personally for me this isn't a problem as usually i'm in good reception areas, but i do agree that GN radio is very weak.
4. For me they are just ok and i prefer using mine Sennheisser CX300 II instead.
5-6. I would say that game needs an update. I game a lot on GN and never noticed problems as you have described. Though i found few games that wouldn't start at all because of incompatibility with ICS. Try to email game developers.

I will try to answer ur ques 1 by 1
but first wud like to say u cannot compare GN to rezound ..no way...just my 2 cents
1. if u get GN, update it to any of the ROMS like AOKP,FOXHOUND, etc or just get the STock 4.03 with maybe 4.0.4 GAPPS; i have Foxhound on ICS 4.03, radio= UGKL1, with James bond as my Kernel
2. No Lags whatsoever with keyboard or otherwise
3. signal strength is solid ( varies b/w -78dB to -92 dB) with UGKL1 in GTA, wifi is strong as well. switches between 3g and H flawlessly with good speed.
4. ear buds are decent , i use it with DSP manager..gives good depth and 3D effect. Never thought my speaker volume was low though..??
5. about monoply problem i really dont know,,,,it cud have been an app issue as well. check if its compatible with GN ?
Hope this helps, wid have loved to share SS to show you but cant ( m still a newbie )

i had same probs with radio before i decided to flash newer 1s...so checked all availavble radios and found significant improvement moving to XXKL1 and UGKL1..if you havent yet try UGKL1 surely will improve signal performance
thanks guys . so most of my issues might be able to be fixed ? I kind of prefer the screen on the nexus over the rezound because the resound has this digitizer that makes me think of anti glare on the screen . google voice also sucks on the resale and when I'm trying to type in here . See, I said rezound not resale.
Why no contest between nexus and rezound in your opinion?
What is ss?
If I got the nexus again would someone please help me with unlocking, root and the roms and radio stuff? I have tried looking here for info but am lost with too many threads and stuff.
Is want to make backup image right after I turned on nexus and go through setup. Then put ics Rom with none of the vzw crud. Then improve radio or whatever to get it stronger. Then make speakerphone vol better.
I do like the beats audio ear buds that come with rezound. So if nexus ones sound ok that'll be cool. I like to listen to my music in Google music streaming highest quality while walking around the track. But Google streaming seems like its only 64k not what I uploaded.

No Probs bro...
sorry SS means ScreenShot...my bad
well Nexus is google's baby u see....so it gets all updates directly from google...so no tweaked UI's and stuff....just pure ICS. rezounds or any other non nexus wud always get ICS updates with lot of lag depending on carrier and Manufacturer tweaks.
The display is amazing on GN and GN has seen tremendous support from developers( i have never seen development for any other phone so aggressive )
ok XDA is the right place for ur needs for everything Nexus
for unlocking you can use either

or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454314
both are very straight forward and threads are very detailed....i used the first option. u can also use these to make backups or u can make a nandroid from recovery after u installed CWM
for all customisation needs from ROMS to Radios...try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392380
good luck
did i forget to point that GN is an unlocked device that will work anywhere in the world ...i dont think ur rezound would do that

Keyboard, it just a bug...
4.04 update; Yes, it will.... I've tried quite a few 4.04 ROMs, my phone has gotten MUCH louder...
Radio-better? Download Tune-In, it's an ICS problem...
The earbuds are just amazing!!! They've got a better sound and more bass than most Hi-End cinema speakers...
The sound in apps, has nothing to do with Android, it's probably just because the app hasn't been completely updated to work properly with ICS...
If you think the reaction time is bad in monopoly is bad, play 3D bowling...
Just wait untill the next update gets released, no need to panic... Or if you don't mind rooting your phone and flash a custom ROM... Link to my toolbox:

Can't return my Rezound for the Nexus so I have to keep it.

I was able to return my rezound. Not sure about nexus since it has issues.

Well I have the CDMA Verizon galaxy nexus and the radio is terrible. Its just weaker than HTC and Motorola... its the manufacturer's weak build (Samsung) who has never had great signal strength when it comes to phones.
There are only two radios I believe I can flash on my galaxy nexus and they aren't good. I still can't keep a solid 4g signal near my job but when I had the rezound, it stayed connected even with 3 bars.
Are there other radios for the galaxy nexus (Verizon)??

And yes, the rezound actually outperforms the nexus in just about everything but software updates from google...
I got the nexus again to try. But something is on the screen that reminds me of anti glare and I don't like it much. Not sure what it is that I see.

I returned nexus because the screen has something on it I don't like. Also it doesn't show white well. Looks almost more creamy or something.
So I guess I have to wait for new phones but don't know what's in the pipeline and when.

Hello all
I want to talk a little about what rom to use for Gio.
I am interested in using something nice like Giopro or BNC-GIO-ROM-R1 but want a better battery life.
At first the battery stockrom kept me up two days but after using [One package] DXKT4 Firmware (2.3.6) (credits to ricci darmaji) my battery life was considerably extended at least 4 days even if they use the Internet 10-20 minutes a day, and 5-10 minutes of calls per day.
In this we add 1 to 2 hours of games besides the above said.
So my battery life was quite visible but the stockrom bored me, and so much temptation to use customrom change is inevitable, but do not wath should i use to give me a good battery life.
In conclusion I wish a nice custom rom like, Giopro or BNC-GIO-ROM-R1, but with a good battery life.
Who has tried many custom rom and can say to me wath is best..good loking, moves smooth and gives the best battery life please share your knowledge with us.
PS.What upgrades can I use over BNC-GIO-ROM-R1 or Pro to extend battery life like DXKT4 Firmware (2.3.6) (credits to ricci darmaji)? There any upgrade to make them better at extending battery life ?
NOOB alert
Hey, thought I'd join in on this one as I would welcome all advice about which ROM to put on my wifes GT-S5660.
Currently on a T-Mobile UK contract, this phone out-of-the-box was a bag of s***, couldn't even send an SMS without turning mobile data off 1st.
Some bugs were fixed by an update over KIES to S5660XXKQG software, but it's still very buggy. Some of the occasional problems include ;
- screen refuses to unlock
- partial screen unresponsiveness
- HOME button takes screenshots when it feels like it (so my wife sits there trying to press buttons on a photo lol )
- END CALL not working
Anyway, what I need is a ROM that does all the basics correctly , so phone, wi fi, camera, SMS, internet and a reasonable battery life would be a bonus. Oh! and she has to use the speakerphone to hear so the proximity sensor needs to work!
Not particularly fond of the Samsung interface but can always use GO Launcher or whatever.
I managed to root & custom my HTC Desire (not bad for a silver surfer pmsl ) and so far I have rooted and removed the simlock on this phone.
I'm still going through the guides regarding CWM and ODIN but I welcome any plain-English advice you guys are willing to offer.
BTW, I'm on a win or brick it solution with this phone as my wife is soooooo fed up.
Thanks all
Cm7.2 works great, all in one rom, perfect, no huge buggs

Agree with voetbalremco. The best custom ROM for Gio, so far, is CyanogenMod 7.2 by phiexz. It doesn't have any major flaws.
Many thanks peeps.
I'll give that one a try
i think there is a bug on cm7.2, bug when playing music via headset. I don't know if that's only me, but the song plays slower and it's not continuous, it's like --------- got it? haha, i'm sorry, i can't find the word to say.

I would like to use a custom ROM on my TMO LG G3, but I'm finding Bluetooth range to be horrible. With stock, I can use my headset within about 30 feet of the phone, and my Android Wear works throughout my home. On custom ROMs, I can't even keep the phone in a pocket on the opposite side of my body from the headset without having signal disruption.
Anyone else having this problem? Any guidance other than sticking with stock?
Thanks

I think this is a known issue with AOSP roms. Yes I have that issue also with my Plantronics Pro Legend. You need to stick with stock for any kind of range.
Bummer.
Hi guys, I have just made the latest upgrade my ZL, but it simply doomed my phone.
When I switch between apps, my phone just have a black screen, and I can't change or do anything. Im simply stuck. Surprisingly when I get a phone call, I could easily answer and talk.
Also, the upgrade is a battery drainer, it sucks my battery like a black hole.
I really like this phone and very disappointed with sony for this upgrade. Is there anybody having the same issue,?
Do you guys know any fixes or solutions. If nothing will workout, how can I downgrade?
How did you upgrade? Did you do a full wipe?
I had the opposite experience. The upgrade did wonders for my phone. Almost no lag. App switching is very smooth and battery seems a little better. 5.0 was a lagfest. Seems like Google really dropped the ball with 5.0 (other 5.0 phones have had the same experience), but 5.1 is a different story. I'm very satisfied.

My ZL is flying with new .222 update. So far everything fine, more fast and smooth than 5.0.2. Just a small and weird issue is a gap between signal and battery icon, tried with gap fix from Z3 but no luck.

Hey guys,
Thank you all for replying. I don't know what happened but the issue seems to have been solved (although I still don't like this update, battery drainer).
I really don't know what happened. But I can know press the home bottom and the screen doesn't turn black. I still don't know what is the root cause. But it happened to me the first two days after the update.
Again thanks
