Hi i have a rooted NC running at 1,1.
All is working fine, but i have a problem with movies
All my video is working with stereo 'reverse'
i'm using headphones, and the left sound is at right, and the right sound is at left ...
It s like that on all my videos,
on my computers all is ok with the same headphone.
Do you have the same problem ? is it possible to reverse the stereo sound output on the NC ? using a APP, or maybe in an advanced menu ?
thx
Best regards
Does this problem only appear with the oc'ed kernel?
No idea, i saw this problem yesterday
someone here have the same problem ?
Ayorosknight, eurosa is asking if you're running the stock kernel rooted or if you are running an overclocked kernel. Is your NC running with defaults aside from the root or have you done any other mods to it. That'll help with the troubleshooting.
Oops sorry,
yes i'm using a o/c kernel (kernel-1100mhz-omap3630.zip)
available here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
And i'm on Eclair.
thx
now if you could just flash the stock kernel and test your audio that would be helpful

i am running completely stock currently and i have the same issue as well. audio is reversed from what it should be according to the what's happening on screen.
so has anyone else had this issue with the audio channels being reversed? trying to figure out how common it is.
i just finished talking to B&N about getting an exchange, but to say that it's a hassle is an understatement. it started with me going to the store on monday, they told me i had to call the 1-800 number because i bought it online, then one the phone they said i had to go through the whole tech support to try and fix the problem before they would escalate the case to exchange it. i do the whole reset thing and they say if it continues to have issues to call back. well today i finally had time to call back and after 20 minutes of nothing they said that i should go back to the store and tell the customer service person to call their store support line. i flatly told her that if she expected me to put more time into this by driving back out to the store, one in which they had dismissed me already and told me to call the 1-800 line, just to get a properly working device then i would rather her just send me to the returns department so they could issue a rma and i wouldn't even bother with owning this device. sorry, but 4 attempts by the customer to right the problem is too many.
anyway, after talking to the supervisor my new device is on the way. however, if i get another nook color that has the same issue i will just give up on owning one. i'm not going through that nonsense again.
so again, is this a common issue?
Would it really be a deal breaker if the channels are reversed? Why not just switch your earbuds to opposite ears? Otherwise, get a 6-inch 3.5mm extension cord. Cut it, solder back togeher with the channels switched. Ta-Da: poor-man's channel swapper. There are other options...

First off, you do realize that many headsets, earbuds included, are meant to work with the L and R sides placed correctly on the corresponding ear, right? Take a look at your set, if they are anything like the 3 different pair I have then the tiny drivers are angled to deliver sound down the ear canal. Furthermore, with a set of Nike over the ear style sports you don't have a choice as they are made to only fit one way.
Second, why would I go about buying and soldering something to make a new device work like it already supposed to?
Yeah there's optons, which I'll explore if I have to, but don't you think something should work like its supposed to when you buy it?

not trying to take it out on you. i apologize if it came off that way. you stated the obvious solution in switching the earbuds. i merely stated the obvious that they are meant to work a certain way.
also, i'm not rooted.
so i got a replacement nook and it still has the same issue. so frustrating.
So I just got my Bionic today, and I tried to play some music on it. The phone's speaker is fine, but for some reason, when I plug headphones in and start playing music, I will hear a faint high pitched sound in the background. And when I press pause and the music stops, the high pitched sound will still be there for a few seconds, and then no sound.
Does anyone else have this problem? Did I just get a faulty unit? I tried with all the headphones in my house, and the same thing happens.
I'm hearing the same thing when the phone is plugged into the car dock and plugged into my car stereo. It's very faint but it is there. Seems to go away after I start playing music. It's not there when the music stops.
I'm definitely getting the same thing on my over the aux cable in my truck tried other cables too same thing

I've got the same problem here as well. It m to new the thing I can focus on with the headphones in.
Ya this is a huge problem. My friend, who got his phone yesterday, has the same problem.as well. He is going to verizon to see about it, but it looks like to be a design defect.
I notice it, only if i have my headphones plugged in and i'm not playing music....... its not a big deal to me, because why would I have my headphones plugged in with NO music playing??
Its definitely there for me. It sounds like the type of noise that can be induced from a ground loop in the charging circuit from a car. The sound is there for me even when I do not have a charger connected through...
Not to sound crazy, but I get the exact thing happen to my G2X.
Wrong forum yes but I couldn't help but comment on this. I hear that sound when the screen is off. Goes away when screen is on.
Happens on stock and custom ROM.
>> Ya this is a huge problem ...
More of a minor annoyance in my opinion. I barely notice it.

Alrighty, I think it's safe to say that everyone is getting this. We don't really need 5 pages of "I have this too."
I guess we'll have to wait for an update for Moto to address day-one bugs.
Add me to the list of those with this problem.
High pitched whine when listening to headphones(tried multiple headphones) through 3.5mm jack. Goes away ~3 seconds after pause playback. Only hear while playing media. Easiest to detect when media volume turned way down. and/or quiet portion of song.
This thread is being used to track % of phones that have the issue. Take a moment to reply.

supportforums.motorola.com/message/467392
I sent them an E-Mail and was told to do a factory reset (which I had already done, but for another reason). I told them I did this and they then said I was the first person to mention this problem and it must be unique to my phone. I then sent them 3 links to various forums with members discussing it, many of whom had also contacted support. I told them it was a very well known problem and I was obviously not the first person to contact them. They ended our conversation by basically saying the phone has a 1 year warranty from Motorola and I may take it back to a Verizon Wireless store at any time and if they can replicate the problem, the phone will be replaced
yesterday i got bluetooh head phones from the verizon store that were 50% off and they sound great. no noise at all. i think that it might have something to do with the wire. maybe the bionic has a faulty ground because alot of people are complaining about noise with headphones.

I use the Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth Stereo headset and it sounds great as always. It must be a problem with the wiring, but I do find it strange how the noise varies in volume a lot and when audio stops the whine stops within 2-3 seconds too. That makes me wonder if perhaps it is a software problem. Oh well who knows, once I start playing music, I can barely notice it, but for video it is a bit annoying. I may take Motorola up on their offer of returning it on their 1 year warranty if in a month or so they quietly fix the problem in the next batch of Bionics Verizon receives. There are a few people who say they don't have the problem, but I think those people are just in the group of people who can't hear sounds that are that highly pitched (like the mosquito ringtone). Perhaps in their mid 30's or older, or just not the best hearing. Anyway, it's hardly worth me returning them for the problem, and like I said, if it is fixed in the next year at any point, I will return and exchange them on Motorola's warranty
So quick dumb question. I bought my Bionic off contract / retail price, anyone know if the 14 days return vzw has only applies to subsidized phones or to full retail price phones as well? (my phone has this problem as well which is why I am wondering if I have till Thursday or longer to return it).

14 day return applies regardless of price paid. Probably the restocking fee too.

The problem lies with the fm receiver. Try using titanium to freeze the FMradioservice 2.3.4. If this does not solve your problem then it is a hardware issue. I have become an avid slacker radio user and this seems to have solved it for me but, I just did it so haven't had time to really test it. Please let me know if this works for you or not. If you are not rooted then there is no solution for you other than to become rooted.

According to a user over on the motorola support forums:
"Freezing FMRadioService does nothing."
I'm sorry to say my second Nexus 7 despite initially looking good has now popped the left side of its glass and displayed a stuck green sub-pixel. I'm really disappointed as I think its a fantastic device apart from the poor QC. I may try and buy later if I see on this forum that ASUS have got there act together.
Good luck to all who are trying to get a decent unit.
Poor QC, overinflated expectations for a entry level device, or a newly registered shill poster.
I replaced mine through the play store and its perfect. Maybe I just got lucky.

Here is a thought... A crazy one I know but here you go....
Instead of constantly replacing a newly released device because of minor screen lift that does not effect normal use how about taking a chill pill, breathing in and out and relaxing?
Mine has screen lift and it still works great! Me? I will wait a few months and replace it once the flaw is fixed in manufacturing and there has been enough time to filter out all the flawed still in stock versions...
When I picked up my first one and it had screen lift, I was disappointed and angry. When I exchanged for a second one and it had screen lift and a non-functioning touch screen, I was just angry. When I picked up my third one with screen lift I just shrugged. Yesterday I picked up my fourth one with screen lift and a loudly popping speaker and I just laughed :silly:
There must be bad lots or something?
On my first unit I bought at staples and everyone I know local has no issues and no replacements. I have been and will keep looking for issues on them but so far so good.

Hopefully those people get filtered out of the gene pool and we can live in a peaceful future were defects are accepted as normal.

I'll bet that what actually happens is you'll send yours in, and you'll receive a refurb with EXACTLY the same problem. But you're so Zen-like about the whole thing, you'll just smile and go through the process over and over and never lose your cool. I envy your calm.
Of course, you'll have to hope the defect is obvious immediately, because every time you connect a new device to your Google account (and granted, one should put a hard limit on how many defects one accepts before considering the product to be junk) you'll use up a Google Music activation. And we can only deactivate 10 devices in a year. A big deal? Maybe, if you go through freaking defective products like this trying to get one that works decently.
Oh, and that will be another device that shows up in your list in Google Play that you can't delete. You'll remove it from the menu, but it'll be sitting there, taunting you.
Oh, and maybe you open an ebook on the defective that's limited to 3 devices, and then you can't open the book on your new one. And maybe the "remove from device" option isn't there, so you have to go through Google to get things fixed. But hey, relax, right?
If you're happy to sit on a defective device for months with the hope that it'll be better fixed later, knock yourself out. For some of us, the Nexus 7 is a special device, being the only Nexus tablet, and we just want one without defects. This whole preachy routine really does get a bit old.

Here is a rational thought.
How about a device should not have a so called minor screen lift issue. That moves around when you touch you the screen. That when you pick up the device and hold it the damn thing feels like it is falling apart and about to simply break.
Only a fool would accept that and keep the device. It doesn't affect normal use? What are you smoking? A touch screen device with a defective screen doesn't effect normal use? So you're going to keep a bad crappy device for a couple of months because hell I don't know why. So everybody else should keep their as well.
These devices currently have a ton of QC issues. Fact. People will report and discuss them. The only trolls are the people that keep saying people reporting issues etc must be trolling.

Guess how many devices I have linked to my account? lol
Seven GNex phones and two N7s. I've returned 4 N7s but one of them had a broken touch screen so I couldn't actually set it up and on the other the screen lift was so bad that I didn't bother powering it up. Crazy stuff. I honestly don't know why I keep coming back to the Nexus brand after my recent experiences.
Here's an actual rational though.
Only a fool would fail to read and call someone out for something opposite of what they said.
CHILL OUT, COUNT TO 10 before you make yourself look like an idiot again. He never suggested you accept a flaw, he said that repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting a different result is not the best idea. Obviously you want the device, but instead of complaining about it here, which will do absolutely freaking nothing, why not take a breath and waiting a week? Rapid fire returns sure haven't worked for you yet.
Yawn....
Every device has growing pains the the N7 is no different... Google botched the pre-orders and they have a manufacturing issue to correct...
I will TRY and make this simple...
Let say Google had 10 million produced before they correct the manufacturing process / defect.. Now lets say they sold 5 million... That leaves 5 million defective units still on shelves / in stock...
You can continue to exchange it until the cows come home and guess what? Your replacement is going to come from the defective (read: in stock) pile until the defect is corrected and the originally shipped (read: defective) units have been depleted...
Save yourself the headache, stress, tantrums and wait a few months for the issue to be resolved and the fixed units to become the in stock norm...
If the unit has an issue that prevents it from functioning then that's another matter... Slight screen raise is not one of those... Keep on replacing it and keep getting the same (read: originally manufactured defect) unit in the mail... It's your headache not mine and I'm not the one throwing a tantrum in an online forum..
I will wait a few months and exchange mine once Google has resolved the issue and the in stock tablets are that of the fixed variety...

You said you are fine with screen lift. Screen lift is a defect.
Right, I may or may not be alone in this but the rattle from my power button was really starting to p**s me off. I could hear it clearly when the phone was at arms length and I tapped the screen anywhere in the top half. I thought it was the camera at first, then found holding the power button still whilst using the phone stopped it. This morning I was using my phone and decided to do something about it.
First can I say this was not any normal rattle (i.e camera lens), you could clearly hear it at arms length whilst tapping the screen in the top half. I made this video because people have told me they have the same issue. If you take your phone apart and break it, that's not my fault.
For those that have this problem and decide to do this, I hope it helps It has made me a hell of a lot happier with the phone.

Ah, forgot to mentiom, this is my 2nd one. Bought my first one and heard the rattle, took it back after 2 hours. The replacement does the same thing and looking on here in the defects thread it seems a few people have the problem. There's no sort of warranty seal inside the phone and the stuff can easily be taken out again should it die for some reason and I need to get a new one under warranty.

Some people analyse small insignificant things too much, surely it couldn't have made an audible noise level outside of a sound proof box.
Did the sales person look at you bemused or did he test the rattle and end up deafened by it?

He agreed that he could hear the rattle. It may not have seemed that important to him in a loud and busy shop, but when you're sat on your sofa in the evening and even the slightest of taps near the top of the screen make it rattle it doesn't take long before it becomes very annoying. If it were just when I shook the phone near my ear or something then I would have just accepted it, but it's the fact it is hard to ignore,even at arms length, made me want to do something about it.

Hey go to whoever sold it to you and keep exchanging earpiece until it hurts them enough to fix the problem or exchange for another version of equal value that's reliable, if they refuse take it to Samsung store and bother them, if that fails then sue store for selling faulty products
You work hard for your money don't let billion dollars industries waste your hard earned money
Just googled it. And it seems to be a common occurrence
It's a shame really device really felt good in the hand. And screen was a slight improvement quality wise. Not size wise. Battery was great also. Lost my faith.

Why not try a different earpiece? Ditching a very expensive device for a faulty earpiece seems excessive. The retailer won't replace the phone, likely only the earpiece.

Dealer refunded me. You know what an earpiece is in relation to a mobile phone right ?
PS hope you're keeping well buddy.

An earpiece normally refers to an earbud or earphones, not the speaker. Glad You’ve resolved it, so which device are you leaning towards?

I'm using the N20U again. Considered a fold3 but I know I wouldn't be happy with it after the novelty factor wears off. Especially with the it having just 4400mah battery and a 120hz display.

Sorry to hear that. My thoughts are this phone is a dud, add another complaint to the litany of fails.
Return for a full refund... hope you still have your 20U.

Lol, I rather be lucky than good...
Limey you are being a little too extreme bruh... So what if you got a defective piece? You can exchange it and get a properly working one.
I have been on this forum of over 5 months and this is the 1st time I hear of someone having a crackling earpiece!
Literally every single phone model ever released on the market has defective pieces here and there. It is just how it works to some extent.
No need to cry out bcoz the one you got has an issue and you can just get another.
The phone is still to this moment the best on the market. Period.

I'd tend to agree but my confidence is slightly squashed since reading that the top speaker has issues vis Google an d Samsung forums and even YouTube videos. Hence why I decided not to ask for a replacement at the time.
Last time I owned a phone that had a faulty earpiece speaker was in the 90s , same issue. Crackle and popping when hearing people on a call.
"My thoughts are this phone is a dud"
So if the S21 is a dud which Galaxy is superior, your S10 or a Note 20? You can prefer one model over another but in just about every review it's rated as the best device on the market, far from a dud.

Yeah just like all the glowing Fold reviews from previous years were
Huh, funny how duds get such glowing reviews.
The new Folds are also having issues, too soon to know how badly botched these will be.
No native spen, no SD card slot.
The worst of all of it are it's ugly rounded display corners though. I thought we were over the lame CRT look?
The S21U has a substantially brighter display though with a likely a much shorter lifespan if not kept in check. Seems Samsung wanted to outshine the competition regardless of the potential lifespan hit. It does seem to have better battery life.
At that flagship price point... what a dog.
A dismal year for Samsung is shaping up and most of it is their own doing.
The mess that is Android 11, the CCP virus hysteria and the semiconductor shortages are compounding Samsung's poor design and quality control fails.
Just close your eyes and walk away... Samsung ain't in the house.

The only point you raised which I agree with is no MicroSD. Very few care for an S-Pen even when it's included. Rounded corners are a preference for many users due to appearance and functionality including myself. Android 11 was created by Google not Samsung and which device manufacturer offers superior build quality? For the amount of smartphones Samsung produces it has a comparatively low number of defects across all of it's different assembly facilities. It also diminishes your opinion since you don't own or use an S21 on a daily basis, only responding to what you read. Not a very objective analysis.
Just an update , I bought another one. All good. No earpiece buzzing rattling.

Cheers. Have you kept count on how many other Samsung devices I've returned and re purchased? I'll save you the task. Not many.
A good piece? I hope so. But then again it'll be upgrade time in a few months time. January perhaps.
