[Galaxy S II General] Livewings:
One of the reasons I went for SGS2, instead of Sensation is because of the sound quality in SGS, that I thought SGS2 is gonna get even better. So Samsung better not let me down.
[Galaxy S II General] onbacardi:
is the chips it self is better in sgs2 than i can just imagen what voodoo sound would make this sound like :D
[Galaxy S II General] jimbiye:
The audio codec of SGS II might show lower specs than SGS, but do we know if the audio hardware itself is a better overall...?

I've never been too picky on the audio for a phone though...as long as it's decent, SGSII is still a great phone.
[Galaxy S II General] bobloblawsum:
the sgs audio has been good enough for me to ditch my mp3 player, so i'm hoping the sgs2 is at least on par with it.

It should be, i can't imagine samsung skimping on the parts. It's their flagship after all.
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
Yeah voodoo sound even beats iPhone sound quality
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
And the iPhone sound quality of the Loud Speaker is SHYT...

The iPhone 4 may be a bit better, but not up to PAR at what the device should be at such a premium rate.
[Galaxy S II General] barsk:
Hmm, what is voodoo sound actually?
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
It's a superb enhancement of the sound quality through headphones and also it enhances recording. You can go and record a live gig With non distortion on the sound
[Galaxy S II General] ccdoggy:
at the core it is replacing the stock audio driver. samsung did a half-assed job implementing the Wolfon chip and supercurio spent allot of time and effort to get it working to the level it is at.

Stock sound was not terrible but also not very good. hiss was apparent, never got very loud at all even maxed out. and when maxed and not loud it was clipping the signal.

Now after he worked his magic there is little to no hiss or background noise, gets as loud as you want it, I never go above 75%, very clear and clean sound. I love it.

It is the ONLY thing stopping me from jumping on the SGS2 bandwagon. that and trying to get an early upgrade from my captivate because its still giving me problems. just have to hold off till there is a good deal on the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
Much better description than the one i give lol.

But yeah i have a £400 pair of westone headphones so voodoo sound is SUPER.

Will be absolutely gutted if Supercurio cant work his magic on this beauty
[Galaxy S II General] fallenguru:
EDIT: Never mind, that was rather old news and apparently there's still hope.

I've cancelled my pre-order for now and am going to wait for a few proper reviews.
[Galaxy S II General] Master05:
Might wanna read what that guy posted later on. Maybe not as bad as you think ;)

http://twitter.com/#!/supercurio/status/60758411373056000
[Galaxy S II General] kersh:
For me the insider its giving him a control damage news.

Until he confirms it, I believe supercurio first opinion about the yamaha dac is worse than the previous one. Because it will be a little strange that samsung is using a dac that doesnt have any info on their site and no other one knows about it.
[Galaxy S II General] Master05:
But I don't understand people cancelling their preorder and talking about switching to phones like the xperia arc (i hope that was just sarcams because that phone sucks donkeyballz, literally :rolleyes:) just because of those things he said as it's just a prototype he had.

Let's just wait and see until someone else with similar knowledge or he himself gets a retail(!) version and then we can talk about it.
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:

No Wolfson!
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
Don't worry guys it might be better than we think

Supercurio said this morning that there's a possibility some of voodoo sounds code as already been inserted into the stock firmware!
[Galaxy S II General] fallenguru:
Nobody is saying they won't get the phone at all, but there's no point in a preorder if you've got doubts about the phone, is there, especially if waiting a week will clear everything up.

Personally, justifying spending €550 on a new phone is hard, a new phone and a new primary mp3 player is a different value proposition.
[Galaxy S II General] kersh:
The problem is not voodoo.

Voodoo it is only part of a software that pulls out all the sound quality that a hardware can give. If the new dac is a ****, their limits will be low, even is voodoo is integrated in the firmware.

It is like saying, oh, my graphic card gtx550 uses the same drivers of gtx580! great, I will have the same quality. Nope, you wont.
[Galaxy S II General] Master05:
But why would they cancel their order the second they hear something probably(!) bad about the sound quality of the phone? The guy who found that out has to investigate that even more and will do so, I suspect.

There's enough time to cancel your order anyways, like 3-4 days at least, why not wait until we get more information about the soundchip?

Some people are abit hasty if you ask me...
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
It doesnt make sense though that Samsung would pack this phone with the best of everything but then downgrade the audio codec from the one they put in the SGS, Tab and Nexus S.

Surely they would want it to be better?
[Galaxy S II General] fallenguru:
I'm not so sure about that ...

Maybe the nice audio chip in the 1st gen Galaxy S series was an "accident"? They certainly didn't advertise stellar audio capabilities after all and it only really shines with Voodoo.

Most people don't even know what a DAC is, or even that their phone has one. I don't think many would notice the "downgrade", aside from a few audio geeks. Hell, Samsung unleashed PenTile matrix upon us, and the crowd loved it. Just as long as it has the wifis and the geebees, it's fine. Audio specs aren't on anyone's radar.
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
True, i see your point

But didnt Supercurio get really close with Samsung or something when he was discussing voodoo sound with them? Im sure i read something like that a few months ago...

He did say his "insider" says its better anyway so we will just have to wait and see.. Music is a big thing for me though, deffo
[Galaxy S II General] bobloblawsum:
Well samsung are also putting out their mp3 players in the same style as the galaxy phones. Does anyone know what kind of DAC those are using? It could be possible that they want to save the best audio for their dedicated audio players in order to drive sales.

Otherwise, why would anyone buy their music players?
[Galaxy S II General] Death666Angel:
There are still tons of people who want a 50€/$ cellphone for SMS and telephoning and then get a dedicated MP3 player. Or people who don't want their 550€/$ cellphone to double as an MP3 player when running.
[Galaxy S II General] shabs52:
Any new info on the codec being used?
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
I said maybe and explained why, please don't turns unconfirmed partial analysis I make into facts ;)

Also, I just got different information from another source that stand it's another chip that what I shared before on twitter based on Kernel stuff.

So: I might be proved wrong. Today we just don't know.
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
Awesome to see you post on my thread Supercurio! The voodoo god himself :P

Yeah it better be a good chip either way.... lol
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
Lol stop it :p

What's likely, based on unconfirmed stuff I found by reading binary files from the ROM leaked, is that there will be less room for improvement on Galaxy SII that it was on first Galaxy S
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
As long as we can get "some" decent sound ill be happy, i like my music loud! lol
[Galaxy S II General] fallenguru:
I'm ok with that as long as SGS2+Voodoo2 >= SGS1+Voodoo1 :-)

The real question is, is the chip any good and if it is, is there any point in trying to improve the software? 'cause if there is I think we should get a few earmarked donations or a pledge together so you don't have to pay for the phone out-of-pocket. Or maybe Samsung want to sponsor your work? They should ...
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
When you'll see GalaxySII reviews, you can use this one as reference benchmark to compare:

http://supercurio.project-voodoo.org/audio/voodoo-sound/Nexus-S-Voodoo-sound-DAC-direct.htm
[Galaxy S II General] Guitarfreak26:
mobilerdom said the sound quality is excellent, while a guy i asked on youtube said it sounded pretty much like stock SGS1..

So if its like a stock SGS1 im sure we can make some improvement even if its not as drastic as the SGS1
[Galaxy S II General] fallenguru:
Next time put NSFW before you post audiophile pr0n, lol :-)

Sadly there aren't any proper reviews yet, just a few well-written if lengthy impressions ...

I don´t want decent sound, I want great sound.:D

Major battery drainage efter update for me. 50% of battery drains in a few hours with no phone usage (wifi not on).

Also after a nights charging the battery is only at 85%.

Any advice?

Update: I updated to the b136 rom and the b136 OC bootloader. Now I can charge to 100%. I'll see how the battery behaves..

Hi!

My rom number is u8800V100R001C00B133SP15, so is there download for that rom available?

(I'm from Finland and I downloaded the FINLAND ELISA boot.img version (B135SP01) and it blocked the WIFI, saying "error" when i tried to enable WIFI....)

UPDATE: B133SP16 works on huawei u8800 finland's elisa model. So no need for the B133SP15, at least for me ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Does the B133SP16 boot.img work without problems for you? I had severe battery drainage. Couldn't even charge to 100% I left it charging during the night and it was only at 85% when I woke.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Wilho:
I'm just at the moment checking if it charges to 100%

Do you have B133SP15?

UPDATE: Finished charging: 100% ^^ so it works properly!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
No, originally I was on B133SP16. But something made the b133sp16 OC img-file not work well for me. Now I've updated to Malaysian B136, and it seems to work better (with the appropriate OC boot.img).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Wilho:
Okay, dont know what caused that... Mine charged to 100% at normal speed, thought it would be slower or something.

Hiya

I was planning to overclock my device..

But I'm a bit worried since my device warms a bit even now with 800MHz when doing things that need alot "power".

Is it normal that it warms with "normal" clocks..? If so, then i will try this overclock thing, but if not, i'll just pass then :/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
It should be a little bit warm, but not so much. I'd check that your phone isn't running 100%, download spare parts, and then go into the battery history menu. Whats the running % at compared to screen on %?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] oisqi:
seems that i cant download the file :S keeps telling me to log in.. bah.

e. nevermind. dunno what was wrong.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krothold:
Is that page reliable? The source they have linked to, does not give any information about the msm7230 (anymore). On the U.S. Qualcomm web site I could not find any information about the 7230 at all.

On the german web site I can only find 800MHz confirmed. Is there any reliable source for the statement the cpu should officially support 1GHZ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
i doubt if that "official" statement could be found somewhere, or qualcomm might be forced to deal with the complaints from those of us who pushed it to 1GHz without much thought.. 8)

imho theres always risk when over-clocking.. just make sure that u can bear with the consequences..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krothold:
The only official statement hinting to 1GHz is "The 7x30 uses an 800 MHz to 1 GHz custom superscalar CPU based on the ARM v7 instruction set" from a press release on 12th of November 2009 from the german Qualcomm web site.

I wonder where pdadb gets its information. People all over the smartphone forums seems to quote it and taking the information for granted like "1GHz is no problem, it is officially supported as seen on pdadb".

That is quite dangerous, if people think that is somehow "official" and "reliable" when it may[is] not.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GolfCranK:
Mine says it's now at 1056mhz. I am very new to this oc'ing. Is it advisable or possible to slow it down a bit?

Is this something you use a 3rd party app for?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
yup u may use SetCPU to set different frequencies at various loadings/times..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
I think you'll be fine at 1056. Do you notice any difference in performance? If not, perhaps you should run at 800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GolfCranK:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darathny:
works great thank you.!

battery dies a little fast tho but that is expected for overclocking..right?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Poulsen8r:
I find my battery probably lasts slightly longer, since this bootloader enables the 122MHz state and more states inbetween 368MHz and 768MHz. My phone sits mostly at 122MHz now instead of 245MHz like stock. If anything, you should notice NO difference unless you do much gaming/browsing since that is the only time the cpu will really be at 100%.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ioucorsa:
122MHz is enabled in my stock (only rooted) rom...
