I actually have the E5 and it really does improve audio quality. I won't give you any of the linguistic crap that tells you nothing. Simply put, it makes the mid and high range more crisp and clear. It is espcially noticeable if you listen to female vocals. There is a super tiny amount of increased static with the amp on maximum volume, but you will not hear it unless you turn off all audio and really try hard to hear it in a quiet environment. As always, garbage in, garbage out. Take advantage of the phone's ability to play lossless FLAC.

I'm thinking about getting another E5 for my SGS2 since the one in this pic is effectively welded to my Sansa Fuze.

I got my E5 from dealextreme before and so far I've never been disappointed by anything I've bought from there. It's free international shipping so the price you see is what you pay.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Techvir:
Can it used with the headset ( ie. does the mic fn remain intact) ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] widowmaker777:
Yes. The amplifier has a 3.5mm input and output. The E5 also comes with 2 auxiliary cables so you don't need to buy additional cables.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Jeremy:
Well unless the sgs2 gets some sort of line out output, whatever audio they comes out of it still has to be progressed through that crappy yamaha dac.

What we need is a line out adaptor if you truly want to make an amp worth its weight
[Galaxy S II Accessories] widowmaker777:
True say. I'm wondering if the HDMI out provides line out. I don't think an MHL adapter would work though. I've never seen micro USB to 3.5mm jack either. Then again, if you're really worried about audio quality then you wouldn't be using the phone as a quality music device anyway.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
Lol. Line-out bypasses the AMP section of the phone's SOC, meaning you will get output DIRECTLY from that "crappy" DAC.

Truth be known, someone needs to work on digital out, using that OTG port so we can use our OWN external DACs, but it seems that this might NOT be possible before Ice Cream comes along (usb audio).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] steviewonders:
Sounds like it's worth the plunge. It's not a great cost anyway. I wonder how well it'd work with a phone though. Think the sound would vary depending on the device you're using. Hopefully they will make a USB solution like the poster above mentioned.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
I would LOVE that, although I am satisfied with the SQ of Poweramp via my custom IEMs, I wouldn't mind hooking it up to an amp via line out, or digital out to my Alien DIY dac. :)

If only Samsung kept the Wolfson Dac on the S2... how dare they change it..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] moooxooom:
You know, if you've tried using the stock player, you'll find that it gives you way superior output than Poweramp. Unless you're using some $5 earbuds.

Heck, the difference is even audible on $5 earbuds, or even apple stock earbuds.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
But how do you get the stock player (I'm assuming your talking about the "Music" app?) to play ALL songs? I've got a few gigs worth of music and I want to get it to play them all in a random order but when I try to create a playlist of all of them I get told it can't add any more songs....?

And i'd love to find a way to boost the volume properly, I have the stock earbuds but with the Media volume up max I can't hear them very well over my exhaust :( Damn regulators, why do we have to live in a "Nanny state" world?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rab1412000:
volume + app
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Yup - tried some of those "boosting" apps and none have worked for me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rab1412000:
volume + works perfectly for me at +3 and good quality equalizer.

has made a big difference for both stock (rock equalizer) and poweramp (smiley face equalizer setting).

do note there are seperate settings for headphones and phone speakers on volume +

as the guy above mentioned, the stock music player is quite good. poweramp beats it by a tad if you fiddle with settings, but really for something free you get good sound on the music player.

of course the first thing to do is get a good pair of iem's that are impedance matched to the sgs2. my woodees in-ear(16ohm) sound fabolous on my ipod but sound only average on my sgs2. but my koss portapros (60 ohm) sound great on my ipod(not as good as the woodees), but is excellent on my sgs2
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Sorry, to didn't realise Volume+ was an app!! I thought you were being a bit of a muppet by saying use Volume and an App to boost heheh .... sorry! My mistake.

Just downloaded Volume+ and set the headphones to max and boosted to max, lots louder now and should do the trick!.... there is a down side to this though, I won't hear my exhaust popping and burbling on the overrun anymore :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] steviewonders:
Sounds like a plan. Don't suppose you know the impedance of the SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Well I tried and Volume+ did nothing for me like all the other boosters. Maybe its my Litening v1.5 rom?

Guess I'll give up, at least i hear pops n gurgles and maybe the odd emergency siren as well!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rab1412000:
Sorry I don't. But it's a perfect match for my koss portapros, if that helps any
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rab1412000:
Isn't there a much newer version of that rom
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Yup but i'm hesitant to change as it works perfectly for me and I can only guess that the volume is an issue of this ROM. I'll survive as I am and I'm sure the police would be happier about it :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] oofol:
Is it the "Volume Control +" app your talking bot?? Because I can not find a Volume+ app in the market...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Monty Burns:
Yeah that one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] battax:
I think a 32 ohms headphones should be ok.

At anantech they measured the output at 49 ohms.

A notable side effect of this characteristic is that the headphone output becomes less loud with low impedance cans.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeezy1:
Ordered one myself, looking forward to receiving it. Hopefully it's good quality. I'll post my findings!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] D3_:
Try Voodoo LOUDER, it works great on my sgs2, all you need is a compatible kernel (I currently use RedPill 1.3)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dizzydz:
have you guys tried moving all the sliders up in the equalizer? that works as volume booster too. but really the stock output is already loud enough.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MistahBungle:
You can also try the app in my sig if you want a volume boost without distortion unless you really crank the volume up (>80%). With this app, you won't need to tho. 30-35% is plenty for me when using it. Only works on GB tho & with AOSP roms.

Battery Drain Solution.

Travis Antonio Solutions.​

Hello my Friends.

Normally my Pre Plus on Idle mode from 12.00 AM to 3.00PM consumes 10%, Really I don't know how much I consume using it for play and calls, but I charge it every 3/4 day (6+6+6 Hours=18 Hours) Of use till my Battery drains completely. I have the next installed:

Patches: 38

App Installed: 34

Linux App: 13

Web Server running over 3G.

AV Harrier II: at Power Up Over-voltage 1.005Ghz

Bright solution:

This is most of the drain of the Battery sol. you should put this less than 40%, The Pre-/+/2 /Veer has Better bright than other Devices even in 20% tested by myself.

IM Solution:

Do not use the Stock IM because is like bugged or something like that, makes the battery drain 7% than normal drain.

Email Solution:

Receiving a mail every time you get it is not so good for the battery because is always attempting to the server, the solution for this is get Mail manually or every day.

Bluetooth and GPS:

Really I don't see much use for Bluetooth since on WebOS can not do File Transfer, but WebOS 2.x made a change and now we can use Keyboards, avoid turn the Bluetooth if you're not using it, and GPS turn it off, is other core of Battery Drain, just turn it off if you're using it and when you're done, OFF.

WiFi and 3G

Really I haven't see difference between two of this because really the 3G consumes more than WiFi but only if you're using the things I said before

Airplane mode, I never tested this but some people says that Battery drain less if you use this mode when you're going to sleep.

Hope this was helpfully,

Thanks and have a good day :)

Do you have bootloader "unlocked" in 4.1.83??

It seem the asnwer is YES right? "I have the Atrix rooted with the bootloader unlocked, is there any way to install the official rom without getting a hard brick"

So if you already "unlocked" in 4.1.83 the only 3 way to apply GB 2.3.4/4.5.91 as follow:

1. Apply OTA direclty from the Phone: Settings->About Phone->System Update

2. by MSU (Motorola Software Update) option 4 in my script or http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page

Those two upgrade the bootloader so in other words once you apply the update YOU CAN NOT RSD ANY SBF DOWNGRADE FROM MOTO for example 1.26 1.57 or 1.83

3. Because you alread has an "unlocked" bootloader you can flash by CWM stock 2.3.4 I think Kennet has this version or you can do manually by moto-fastboot commands

Stock with faux kernel or cm7 with launcher pro. Personally I've tried the other Rome and wasn't impressed. Ninja SF is good but alien is weak IMO.

Why would you choose stock gingerbread over Alien ROM??? That's just silly... im not talking about the theme portion, but the actual ROM. Alien ROM has a lot of the bloat deleted & deodexed.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyPhreak:
+1. No problems here with piCRUST. Everything seems to work just fine, including the camera. Also running faux123's OC kernel just to undervolt the stock speed and stretch the battery even further.

Not really a fan of the Cherry Red theme so I opted to go with just the ROM. And I think navalynt got the names backwards: pie is to ROM as pie crust is to theme, so the bare ROM should be named CherryPi and the theme should be named piCrust. I guess he opted for "backwards compatibility" with the previous CherryBlur ROM naming convention...

Wanted to go with Kenneth's Alien but it seems he's still working out a few bugs in the ROM, and the theme still has white text on white background and black text on black background in a few places. Will probably slap the Alien theme on piCRUST as soon as Kenneth releases v4. Love the green on black thing, especially on consoles. :D

At this point I think these two guys are out in front, but it seems that navalynt has a bit more time for (and obsession with) the ROM building; though Kenneth is more popular due to his bringing traffic to the site from his own blog, and the helpful HOW-TOs he's posted there.

I recently brought an s2 without knowing about the 2gig internal mem and 11 gig usb storage which is a disappointing thing as most of the apps or games get installed on 2gig phone mem and cannot be moved.

I also have 16gig external sd card which i purchased separately but it is also useless except that the cam pics location can be changed to it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troed:
Internal storage = 2 gb = it`s the default install path for apps

Sdcard = 11 gb = it` s the internal built in "external" sd card. If You use app2sd that's the external sd card for android.

External_sdcard = 2nd external sd card (up to 32gb) = ONLY GOOD FOR MASS STORAGE (vids, pics, docs etc)

Thats it. You cant change this fact since android is not made to handle a 2nd ext sd as system drive......
