Hehe, I know what you mean. Honestly there isn't really a huge difference between 320 kbps mp3s and FLACs. You may notice it when playing with a good equalizer and very low impedance earbuds. With very high impedance ones it's very hard to notice a difference, obviously the volume will be quite low but unless you have some serious crosstalk and overall noise caused by a cheap DAC you won't have to cringe. Personally I use dedicated devices mostly because they sound better regardless what you plug them to, they have decent volume, a good equalizer and great battery life, being able to use lossless formats is just a plus, so why not. Honestly tho the guy right here obviously knows nothing. He was thinking that his old iPhone was using some kind of "magical" and uncompressed audio format, basically because the good old Steve told him so, whereas the Lumia uses "crappy" mp3...good God :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Snake.:
You´re talking about sound quality, and how good the sound quality is, and you are using equalizer? Gimme a break...really...
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Well, there is a significant difference between them to be honest. See for yourself:

This is a mp3:

and this one is a FLAC:

As you can clearly see, mp3's are often leaving out the spectrum between 16 and 24kHz. You can also see some bad spiking. This will impact the quality and dynamics of the music especially on high end devices and for trained audiophiles it is noticeable. As for gold cables, there really is a reason why it is preferably used for high end devices, because it has the best conductivity for electricity and is chemically inert so there is no disturbance due to oxidation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
Yes, why not? Ever tried a good one on good hardware? It's really essential in order to keep your experience consistent throughout the different type of headsets/earbuds you'll be using. I'm not talking about crappy software based equalizers you get in like PlayerPro for Android and such, those ruin an already poor signal, you souldn't bother messing with those.

@morpheuszg: There is a difference, I don't deny that, however it's not always easy to perceive, especially if the bitrate of the mp3 is constant. Also, try to listen to Search And Destroy by Iggy & The Stooges, from Raw Power: the sound is already crippled and distorted "out of the box", if you get what I mean, regardless the format ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
We are already VERY aware of the differences between mp3 and FLAC. The point that is attempting to be made is that most audio players aren't able to deliver on the improved quality of FLAC. Lossless audio is great when you have the player and speakers to match. It's likely that you cannot hear the difference between FLAC and high-quality mp3 on a mobile device using earbuds.

iPhone? I hardly consider it a top quality audio player. iTunes? pretty sucky, too. If you're this obsessed with lossless audio, and you are truly discerning enough to notice the differences, you should get a dedicated device like the Cowon or something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Yep, this is true. And that's why I think lossless files are a waste of space on mobile phones. And that HTC Beats thingy is not that good either. As for the iPhone, it really isn't a good player especially with it's standard headphones. So many people do like them but I find them quite lousy against Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
Oh well if you ask me the Beats thing is just a gimmick, those sets are overpriced and full of crap. You can find better cans for like 50 bucks, it's all marketing bs. The earbuds coming with the iPhone are really lame, they have no bass whatsoever and when you're in a noisy environment you won't hear crap even maxing out the volume, but you'll still manage to annoy all of the people around you. God, these are probably the only earbuds that are actually louder "on the outside". Funny thing is also the fact that after a couple years or so they literally start "rotting" because they're made up of some crappy eco-friendly material, the rubber parts become all greasy and start to disgregate. To my knowledge every single in-ear earbud, even 8 bucks ones are better than those.

I bet that most people regard themselves as "audiophiles" basically because they own an Apple device, and being Apple a hip and cool thing than it "must" be the best, even if what actually comes through sounds more like pig squaeals...like standard earbuds do, no joke really here...seeing how many people keep using them must mean something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Maybe that or they simply don't care about sound quality and just using the given equipment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
That's likely. Actually if you've never tried anything better you probably don't feel the need of good hardware. Once you've experienced some good equipment it's really hard to go back tho...when my Cowon got fussed up forcing me to use the Lumia as a player for a while it was really painful, even using an external DAC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
Maybe the A2DP settings need to be changed

How did you feed a signal to the external DAC?

Are you using Bluetooth 2.1 and A2DP? I've heard that on some devices (ie Macbook pro) the default settings are a bit on the low side. You have to adjust them sometimes... if you can.

On the Macbook Pro...

Editing these settings can cause connection issues on some devices allegedly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
Basically I've just been streaming to my bluetooth car stereo, which should have an "ok" DAC. Sure I can use the eq/amp option that the car stereo gives you, but I'm definitely not a great fan of this stuff, fortunately I wasn't forced to use this for long...I like using my Cowon with the aux-in much better, so I can use the better tools on the Cowon for tweaking the output, letting the good old Wolfson do its thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
There were tears in my eyes when I read this. I love the logic. I can't be bothered to read directions and set up Zune correctly so when the whole thing blows up in my face I will switch to itunes and do the same thing and assume it will play my WINDOWS format music the way it does in my imagination.

Classic. So the guy loads up his Lumia 900 with his music and enjoys listening to his superior recordings. Then he does the Pepsi challenge in his living room and realizes what he has been enjoying is the placebo effect... now he's mad. Same music. Same quality. Just read one post on the internet and now his music sucks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
LOL, sums it up nicely. That guy is hilarious.
[Windows Phone 7 General] alveena6:
I just discovered that the Zune software all my WMA Lossless files are MP3, then he pulled my 900th Lumia I was Per WP before this **** happened, I'm still in shock, and now I am thinking of buying the new iPhone when it comes out and remove them. This telephone and mobile phone OS just lost so much of my respect.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
What are you talking about? Have you not actually read this discussion?

iPhone is no better and WTH are you trying to play lossless on your PHONE. It's not designed to play at that level of quality and you're fooling yourself to think you can hear the difference... especially on those high-quality, top-notch, apple-provided, white earbuds.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vnvman:
I bet he was joking lol...at least I hope so.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaR-V-iN:
Hi,

Since I flashed Android Revolution HD 3.5 on my DHD a few days ago, i've several problems with my local WLAN (static ip):

Sometimes I can't connect (it says scan and after that not connected)

Sometimes I see a message "Obtaining IP..." with no end (how should it, there is no dhcp server available) ; static ip is enabled

Sometimes it connects, but uses configuration from last dhcp usage

Sometimes it connects, but dns does not work (even if i set it manual through terminal to the google public dns "nslookup google.com" ends in 0.0.0.0). Directly ping 8.8.8.8 sometimes worked in that case

I searched the Revolution HD thread and forund some posts with problems like me, but without an answer.

I tried:

Reflashing ROM

Reflashing Radio (I use the on linked on Revolution HD page)

Restarting (of course)

Delete all wlans from list, restart, reconnect

anyone with a small hint would be great !

Anyway, I flashed Leedroid kernel which fixes it (seems like a bug in revolution hd kernel)

stupid question but i want to swith from 1 rom to another and when i did it before i lost all my apps and eveything . how do i save all this stuff and get it to come back when i reload a new rom. ?:mad:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stir fry a lot:
I prefer MyBackup Pro while others like Titanium. It is generally not good practice to load anything but apps when restoring data to a different rom. If its ACS to ACS then restoring the data along with the app is fine but if you're going from ACS to say Bonsai just load the app but no data. Its not the end of the world if you do but it may lead to some instabilities. If you need the data then go ahead but try to limit it. Do not backup/restore system data however.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Post in the right section....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watermoore:
First off, this is in the wrong section. You are not developing an app that backups apps and data, next time post this in Q&A to avoid negative attention (the guys around here will be offering it up lol).

Secondly, restoring "System Data" and "App Data" are very different. App Data is very safe to restore. Just be careful when moving from Android versions. My wife lost all of her app data when she went to Gingerbread, restored all of her apps she backed up from Froyo and got a ton of FC's so she had to downgrade back over to Froyo.

The important part of using Titanium Backup is to filter out system data so you only back up apps you have installed and the data it has written (for instance the Angry Birds App and all the levels and points etc).

here is a link to a walk through that covers the ins and outs of this app
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Besides Titanium, your apps should reappear for download I the market under myapps (in theory anyway) after your google account fully syncs. You can also back up your system apps with sdx app removal tool.

Haha, is a simple "Are you using an SBC kernel?" too much to handle, how hard is it to answer a question, politely tell him to "please post in the right section next time" and then let the post slip off the front page. But instead, people decide they would rather troll someone away from XDA and therefore earn it the rep of "unhelpful troll site." These noobs could be the future of devving for all we know, I guarantee there was a time when Myn, Mik, Toast and the like were all beginners. Hell, I've learned so much in the past 6 months from the helpful people on this site that its incredible.

The fact that he has left the thread is evidence that he found his answer somewhere else, most likely the forums search function. Something he should have done before posting a new thread about a topic that has been discussed numerous times.

I'm pretty sure these noobs are not going to be influencial in the devving community as doing a search before asking a question is pretty much innate with anyone that has the mental capacity to handle such a profession/hobby.

sorry about your bad experience bro, dont worry it happens. about it, the battery drop is very common, its a safety stop built into the batteries, they stop charging when they reach 95% to prevent damage, your phone says 100 but really is only 95, sometimes using an sbc kernel(aka trickle charge) solves that problem by pushing little bursts until your battery reaches a true 100% also look too see if you have mobile data always on, in network settings. and next time try the search button and type your problem there.it will show you any threads were similar problems have been discussed, i wouldn't worry to much about that initial drop if it only happens then not thru out the whole day drainnig your battery, you'll be alright, good luck

[Epic 4G General] poit:
EC05 is the latest stock release, it just came out a few weeks ago. Sprint is working on gingerbread now but there are only rumors about a release date.

I've tried several ROMs but keep going back to stock. I'd suggest spending a day or two on stock to see if you like it. Also, there have been a few roms that have bricked phones here. I would read the forums carefully before jumping. Also, be sure you know the difference between EXT4 and RFS ROMS, what journaling is and why it's important, and what odexed/deodexed means. Mixing those up can be a bad thing.

mkasick has a few great bug fix patches that can be applied to stock EC05 roms.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1029152

If you just want a kernel, I'd suggest Genocide. I'm using Genocide 0.5 on a stock ROM, seems to improve battery life a little. Recent is 1.0, but there are so many changes and warnings on the first page regarding the changes i think I'll just stick with 0.5 and wait for Gingerbread.
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
Check out the acs rom I love it. The takiya (sp) is very stable, fast and has voodoo sound. It also won't brick your phone the kernal it comes with is good. The 'bad' kernals never got included in any roms

[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
A journled rom means there is signifigantly less chance of data corruption should you have to do a hard reset. Non journaled you will get corruption if your battery pops out and therefor force closes. :)

cd's or tapes?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
But, there is about a 2% performance gain with no-journaling, so it's a choice between a (very very very very) slight performance gain or increased stability.

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:

ACS	=	Android Creative Syndicate.

We are a team of developers. We.do kernels, roms, themes, mods and more. When you see [ACS] in the thread title it means a member of the team was behind it. We work together to create and enhance the best epic4g experience.

Please test everything from are work to others untill you find something that suites your needs. Personally I'm on Syndicate frozen rom. That was developed by k0nane and I had my hands in the.development myself. It comes preloaded witj the twilight kernel 1.1 from tanimn. Then I use the emotionless beast theme created by me. the three of us are members of ACS.

Now the truth about journaling. It was not turned off for the performance increase. That was a side effect. Journaling was turned off to extend the life of the Onenand chip. Less writes equals less wear and a little performance.
