3.5mm Jack Volume Boost

Ok guys, I love my Epic and there's no way I'd ever get rid of it...but the headphone volume output is abysmal. I have to turn my car radio way up (or max in some songs) while in aux mode to hear it nicely. Whereas my friend's iPhone 4 doesn't need all the pampering and can easily deliver loud enough out put from it's headphone jack (at lower settings on the radio). I'm wondering if there's a deep setting somewhere I can tweak or perhaps a flashable app/hack that will raise it up substantially (for I can always turn down the volume).
It was just embarrassing since I had her phone beat in every other way, but then got trounced in something as simple as audio out volume. (but it was good because I'm hoping it's some simple thing that can be tweaked one way or another)
Hopefully someone can help, I didn't find anything useful with the search feature but maybe I just didn't use the right search keywords.
Thanks guys!

download Voodoo Sound from the Market. Even when I was running EH06, it still worked for me. If you download it, change the Headphone Amplifier to 5db. I had the very same problem and that did it for me. The only bad thing is that you have to set the settings again every time you turn off the phone.
Hope it helps, man. Good Luck!!

I have the same exact problem. I brought up the volume to 0dB with Voodoo Control. It did some help. I wouldn't bring it to 5dB. It makes the sound over-modulated.

Thanks to the both of you!
I've had of Voodoo Control this whole time but didn't know what it did. (included in my ROM)
I'm such a tool, I'll try 0dB and then 5dB and see which has the level of output I need
Got a decent drive planned tomorrow to test the results!.

Galaxy tuner is a great tool as well. Its like a Swiss army knife for galaxy s phones lol.

Get better quality, like FLAC.

How did it work on eh06 it doesn't have the kernel?

For the payware version of voodoo control you don't need a custom kernel that supports it as long as you have root. I'm running it on EH06.

Also the recommended volume setting is the with the software/android volume maxed out or close to it then you control the volume with the hardware output. As for having to set it again after restarting the phone, there is a hack built in that allows the hardware volume rocker to control the voodoo output while automatically maxing the software volume. Really convenient.

[Q] support, GSM strange icon

hello, had my Sprint LG G2 with 4.2.2 unlocked and using it in Venezuela (I live in Venezuela) but when I upgraded to 4.4.2, I released him again and just grab GSM with a strange icon. Before I went out of the H or E mobile data.

Actually 4.2.2 zva had this as well. There is no way to change it, and it doesn't hurt anything.

This means that everyone will get this icon? is permanent or it will return to be UMTS?
is very slow, I prefer 3G.

it's just an icon, it doesn't mean you're not on 3g

Yes it does mean you're not on 3G... GSM = G = NOT 3G... Compraste el teléfono desbloqueado? 2das manos? Lo desbloqueó en que te lo vendió??? No se, pueden ser un par de cosas relacionadas... Sigue buscando o llama a LG... Quizá hay una avería en tu área y no hay servicio de data móvil... No se ni que decirte hermano...

unlock it myself and it worked fine, 3G, UMTS and EDGE.
but one day I went back to the sprint stock rom (4.2.2) and the release that icon appeared again. Then upgraded to KitKat Sprint LG flash tool, and I thought it would disappear, but no.
now only GSM.

Yea, pretty irritating to be honest. I would love if someone can provide a way to change the icon from GSM to E / H+. I have tried Xposed module Ex-themer and changed signal icons, but it does not make any difference. It has to be somewhere in the framework-res, isn't it?

Alright, I am doing some research on this.
I found someone was able to fix this on Sprint HTC One. I can't find the relevant G2 file on my phone yet (but I havent looked hard).
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496572
We need to find a way to do the same on our phone. Any pointers?

I can assure that it is not just an icon. It has a purpose at the time it is display. Maybe you're blessed with a fast gsm coverage. The LTE icon means something, the 3g icon means something, the H icon means something. It is not just an icon. If it is not meant to let you know about some specific task then why bother put it there to be display? Just asking!
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It is very rare. With the stock rom was perfect, after a while, quice go back to stock rom, downloaded here in XDA with flashtool and this icon appears. I did the same steps to unlock the first time.
GSM sometimes appears without the circle around, with big letters

I've got this icon, but in network I'm on "UMTS" so it's fine.
Would love to have the proper icon though

Go to your about phone section and click on status. In there you will see what type of mobile coverage you are really running. The GSM icon is there to tell you you are no longer using CDMA because on certain Sprint plans you can roam on GSM but it costs more to do so.

ok, I have this GSM icon. to make it change you need to change the build. prop line that carrier name=SPR to say TMO or simply delete SPR. and magically you'll have 4G icon. also you will have two sliders in the status pull down menu. check it out le me know. side effects the ui. apk occasionally crashes ..

which is the path to that folder?

Ok, I tried this. Doesn't help to be honest. It now gives a static 4G icon, even though I am on 3G. It does not change between E / 3G / H+, it just stays static on 4G. Also, the signal bar is stuck on 1 bar and does not change depending on the signal strength.

well, mine did change signals although yes showed lower bars. I forgot the other line on build. prop that I changed and showed me more bars. mine was always connected to hspa+ so 4G was appropriate. sorry it didn't help you as much. my feeling its the build. prop has the secret to it. I noticed when you mess with this device it gives you different results. Sprint has tricks under their sleeve.

I went to the build prop line "ro.build.target_operator" (or something) and deleted the value, and rebooted the phone. It now shows an "H" icon with traffic arrows (which disappear when the wifi connects), and correctly displays my signal. Behaves as if I had set the value to "spr" (sometimes com.android.phone crashes when dialing a number with an area code but whatever). No more stupid GSM icon!

Screen temporary burn-in

I was using Facebook for a long time reading some comments and after I closed the app I noticed that there were some details "burned" in the screen that were clearly visible from a grey/dark background because the Facebook app doesn't have a dark mode it's all white and bright.
The same occurs when I play Minesweeper for a long time, the squares get burned all over the screen.
After a while, the "burns" just goes away, until the next time I use a bright app for a long time.
Is it common or is it a display fault? What can I do?

Saw another thread regarding the same issue.

There are more replies on that thread and also other people facing the same issue, but I'd still like to know what can be done regarding this issue.

My LG G5 had this issue too, my RN8 didn't though.
Attach a screenshot here with the panel info from Settings > About phone > All specs > tap on Kernel version 5 times > Software version.
Panel version is under TP Info.

Sorry for not noticing. I have the exact same panel type (tianma panel) but not the burn in issue.
Try setting your display colour warmer using either screen filter from play store or thru system settings (worked for my g5) and avoid using auto brightness.

Thanks, I had solved it in late 2019 / early 2020, and had been using Paranoid Android since then.
Two and a half years later with the same build and ROM (and a lot of bugs that accumulated over time) I flashed Lineage with android 11 and the screen retention started happening again, after some searches I found this post, took me some time to realize it was my own hahahaha
But yeah, for anyone having this issue, most ROMs should have a "Live Display" feature under "Settings -> Display" and then you can set it to 90% in each option (Red, Green, Blue) and the issue should be fixed.

In your place, I would try the factory setup and installation of another launcher. I myself have been using Nova Launcher for many years, which is very fast, well-tuned, and the free version is enough for you. The device behaves completely differently with it.

Question Battery usage

Good day, everyone. I wanted to ask what kind of things/apps are in the "Other" section when looking at the battery usage percentages? It's very odd, because, for example, today it used more of my battery than my screen did. I tried to optimise every single app that I have installed (There are no apps, that could drain my phone's battery as far as I'm concerned). Is it possible to fix it?
Thank you in advance and best regards,
portugalas

i think they are system apps
