[Q] Bad speaker balance? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My speaker on the bottom right is very quiet. If cover my finger over the left one sound almost disappears, while covering the other one gives no noticeable effect.
Is there any way to fix this?
(I have a P1000)

[2.3.3] Overcome ROM v3.1.0-KRATOS, Kernel v3.3.1, and I flashed Meizu skin over ClockworkMod Recovery

Yes, I asked because I'm also experiencing the exact same thing and on both the tabs in my household
I just had one of these replaced (3G issue) and tested the sound before rooting and upgrading to BOCA Heretic (via Overcome GB Safe 5 and 3.3.1 kernel) and it was balanced perfectly but now it's back to next to nothing coming out the right speaker.
I raised the issue with the BOCA developer but it doesn't seem to widely reported.
It would be nice to know if others using Overcome or BOCA have balanced speakers then we could could eliminate them as a possible cause and look elsewhere. So far I've experienced it on 3 tabs and you make 4.

I really hope this gets some attention... We are not the only ones. I encourage others to do this simple (cover with a finger) test and post here.

I see it did not..

i got the same issue. there is a fix for a similar problem on an asus tab, but you have to get into system/data/ and that folder does not exist on my tab. using overcome kratos too.

Currently its due for september.
seriously though, its released when its ready. No sooner.
And if the devs have to take the time to answer questions like this, then it will further delay the release.
If you really want to find out, read what alterbridge/pittbul have posted in the official thread in the dev section, like the rest of us.

I seem to be spending most of my xda time on the sgs2 section....I'm happy with my tab, so just pop in now and again to see what is new. Basically to see if cm7 is matured, and also to see what wizardry the overcome team have produced.
But the sgs2 has tons more development(more is not necessarily better though, seeing as people just seem to be releasing 'themed' roms, nothing original apart from villainrom), but its a lot to keep up with

Overcome 2.01 crashes after upgrade from Overcome 1.6
Hi, I am new to the forum so please bear with me.
I had previously installed Overcome 1.6 on a Telstra Galaxy tab; I ran it for around 2 month with no hiccups. I recently updated to Overcome 2.01 to have video on skype; however ever since the upgrade the Tab is really unstable. It crashes every time I try to look for directions from google maps while on the road.
The crash is so severe that it won’t go past the overcome boot logo after restart. I reinstalled a couple of times with the same result. I also tried following the guide to step 6 and see if it also happened on the “factory fresh gingerbread” form; and this time it crashed as soon as I used the browser over wi-fi. The crash is as severe, the tablet shows a lot of pop up errors after boot and then it boots itself again.
Can I revert back to Overcome 1.6 while the new version (Android 2.3.4) is released; or I can’t go back from gingerbread to froyo?
Thank you for advising.
Cheers,

Hi There,
I indeed followed the instructions to the line the 3 times and the result is always the same.
I did notice that on the last step when loading the rom itself, the screen flickers a few times and during the "loading kernel" line a few blue lines appear; the process still finishes normally.
Should I use the Telstra modem file instead of the one on the JK3 folder?
Cheers,
hi carludo
crash while jusing wifi maybe the wrong modem. you are from australia?
is it a euro or asian tab? so look for the right modem. many times flash
the same maybe wrong.
best wishes to downunder.
Hi There,
Correct, it is a Telstra Galaxy tab, I used the modem file in the JK3 folder as per the instructions; I will give it another try and use hte modem file from that Testra restock thread and see if it makes a difference.
I will let you know later tonight how it goes.

[Q] App stopped working

I was using DSLR Remote by Bitshift with GB 3.6 until upgrading to Android 4.0.4. Now, the app no longer works and I'm wondering if it could have anything to do with the upgrade. My question is a long shot I know.
The app is a DSLR remote control which requires a small DIY circuit (just 2 x transistors and 2 x resistors) to be put together with a cable between the camera and the Note's audio jack. Audio signals from the Note drive the interface circuit to activate focusing and shutter release on the camera.
With the help of the app developer, I've established that there's nothing wrong with the circuit or cable. What seems to be the case is that the phone's audio jack is no longer putting out enough current to drive the interface circuit. The only thing I've changed is the upgrade to ICS 4.0.4.
As I say, a long shot but I thought someone might have an idea about what the problem might be.
Thanks in advance.
Trevor
Android 4.0.4
Baseband version N7000DXLR1
Kernet version 3.0.13-N7000DXLR5-CL968032
Build number IMM76D.DXLR5
It may be so as the unrelated Voodoo Louder app (that increases max jacked volume) had a major decrease in max loudness after upgrading to ICS.
I think it may be related.
If no one else has a clue, I believe you may have to ask Supercurio (voodoo dev) for his feedback.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
Thank you for the reply. That makes sense. However, I'm not aware that the volume decreased after I had upgraded to ICS. If there is a difference, I can't hear it.
Just for fun, I tried installing Voodoo Louder (Paid) since it was only a dollar or so but, again, it made no difference that I could hear.

I'm not sure on now to respond to your question, but have you tried asking back the app developer if his DIY app supports the new ICS firmware also?
The reason why I'm asking this is that, your app developer might have develop his app on GB platform and inasmuch, if that's the case, then that app cannot and will not work with ICS anymore.
ICS is a sort of a leapfrog from GB you know.. It's a case of you-win some and you-lose some functionality thing. You lose some of the basic GB functionalities and you gain some new ICS ones.
Well, thanks for responding anyway.
Yes, of course I asked the app developer. I mentioned in my OP that he'd helped me test the DIY hardware and cabling and we could find nothing wrong. My first question to him was if he knew of any issues with ICS on the Galaxy Note that might be the cause and he said he wasn't (there was one reviewer who said it didn't work on his Galaxy Note but this could mean anything).
The output from the phone appears on the audio jack as it should but the question of adequate AC voltage to drive the app hardware came up and I can't verify that without a scope which I don't possess.
I'm used to finding that with any hardware/software upgrade you lose and you gain. I was just wondering if any of the experts here, especially those developing sound related apps, could throw any light on it. If I have to live without the app it's not the end of the world. It's just a very useful app for a photographer with a DSLR - and not only is it free, it's ad free!
Markuzy suggested that the max output had been reduced with ICS and referred me to the Voodoo Sound developer website. What I read there seemed to suggest that there had been some reduction but that this was later fixed by Samsung. Who knows?
Thanks again.

.246 First impressions

Hi all,
I upgraded from .2233 with a layover in .905... my first impressions are that the differences between 2233 and 246 are minor at best. All the problems I had before are still present from the previous ICS build and were functional in GB 905.
Problems:
1) Bluetooth audio is broken- I have a Nokia 360 bt speaker which worked perfect when streaming with GB on Bluetooth. However, both ICS builds are non-functional. Oddly the 246 wont even pair while the previous build did that but with no sound streaming.
2) That high pitch whine (in ear buds) is present when no music is playing (it goes on and off) -this was never present in the GB.
3) In-line mic controls don't work and they never worked before, even for GB but its darn annoying. The microphone doesn't work and the volume controls/center action button don't do anything beyond play pause (even though they are 3 buttons).
Its a nice ROM but its ridiculous that these small features are were never fixed.
any other issues you guys found?

One thing I don't like about it is that you can't select between using 3g and 4g like you could before. I frequently set it for 3g to save on the battery life when 4g isn't necessary.
I also had a problem with it scanning my SD card for errors and it wouldn't read it so I had to put a different one in. The funny part is that the card works on other devices but stopped working on the bionic today. It's definitely an annoyance but something I can live with.
The performance is nice though. I do have more network issues now than I had on gingerbread but as far as how fast apps open and the screen slides, its much better.

You can switch between 4G and 3G, just not the same way as before. You need to do it through the programming menu. To do this, you dial *#*#4636#*#* then select phone information, then select CDMA auto (PRL) from the preferred network type menu for 3G, and LTE/CDMA/EvDo to go back to 4G. There are also a few apps on the market that automate that, such as one called LTE On/Off, which is for the Thunderbolt, but also works on the Bionic.
Thanks for the information. I have one other question. Is there anyway to get the desktop Firefox browser onto webtop like gingerbread had?

I haven't had any BT issues, but the headphone whine has been back with the ICS leaks, since 232, at least.
Ive yet to experience any whining
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
Coming from 232, this isn't too different feeling. My phone is running smoother but that may also be due to wiping everything as well. The set up screens were a bit different and I liked it. I haven't used headphones yet so I'm not sure if the whine is still here but I'm assuming it will since, as far as I have heard, it's hardware.

You'll have to search for that. You may be right, but I try not to use one-click roots. I actually do in and perform the steps these utilities do so I know it's done right, and I learn something in the process. However, it is really easy to root either way so don't let that deter you from loading 246. :good:

[Q] Headset audio balance issue[HELP!]

Since the last month or so I have had a problem with the headset on my O2x. It is NOT an issue with the headset, it works on other devices and also other headsets have the same issue on my phone.
The thing is that the right channel is very, very, very low. Left channel sounds great. I've been running Temasek CM7 with symbi0sis all the time and never ever installed any kind of mod that would mess with sound. I have reflashed rom and kernel several times. I have not gone back to stock because it's such a process, but I will probably do that today or tomorrow.
I have been googling for days now but now I feel I have to start this thread here because I don't see a way of fixing this issue.
Sooo, my question is: does anyone out there have an idea of what I can do?! Please post if you do. I'm desperate at this point.

[Q] Callers hearing eacho

I've been having issues for a while now (about 3 month) where anyone I speak to on the phone can hear their own voice echoing back. I don't hear anything on my end.
It started happening at a point where a made a few changes to my phone (upgraded to JB, new battery, replaced the charging circuit and flashed a custom rom) so im having trouble pinning down what is causing it.
Has anyone else experience similar issues and know how to solve it?

Open call dial -> call settings -> additional settings -> tic on noise reduction
OR during having a call, press menu -> noise reduction on
..
Makes no difference.

in that case you can try, but I suspect issues. Modems shouldnt matter at all which why originally they arent supplied with custom roms. I am really just guessing now.
I preferred lp5 with all roms untill Jb, now lt3.
I think maybe give mobile odin a try with flashing the modem, versus flashing the zipfile.
Also keep a lookout for logs, maybe it gives some details as to what is going wrong with your phone. Try logcat, elixer2 or android tuner (paid) for that.
