I really don't care about this at all..

Beats sound good, but the price doesn't match the quality... They are way over priced

If this doesn't increase the price of HTC devices then great. If they try the sell select models (which they will) that feature Beats and slap a higher price on that particular phone... Than pass, and I'm pissed they went that route instead of just dumping that money into improving ALL their speakers in all their phones.

[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I got some xplod 6x9's, but would be really cool if we could swap out our stock speakers and put the premium ones in our phones, I just had this phone a month and I'm already looking at this falls lineup :/
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Sup bro :)

I'm coming back to the 3d next week!

Wanna have a spam topic!?! Lol jk
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
This is definitely going to be select models. Booo, they should have chose JBL. There speakers are pretty damn good. I can tell you guys the beats speakers suck. Look at HP.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Yeah I sold mine for 550 bucks Nd bought a bnib EVO 4G for 180 shipped (xda marketplace ftw)

I also got a fee upgrade from Sprint because of all the problems I had with the phones,service,and customer service!

Plus a nice 150 dollar (free month) credit

I'm using my free upgrade to get another 3d and making sure I get one with no tilt,reboots, and green pictures! I already talked to the manager at my local store and he "agreed" to let me open a few and pic the best one (hopefully he doesn't lie)
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Yeah that was a fail on HP's part
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Awesome man! Hell yeah! We'll start one as soon as you get the phone. Ask some ridiculous non existent issue in the wrong forum! *high five*

HahHa good deal
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
I don't think the price has anything to do with DR. Dre at all. It's just that they are made by monster and anything made by them is way over priced. Just look at the price of all there cables
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
How about we get a quality brand like Bose instead of a celebrity endorsed brand? I'd like to have some dual Bose speakers in my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Lol the name carries weight also. Dre's name of course.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Meh more $$$
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
This. Right here. Bose.

But then we'd be spending a 300 dollar premium on top of the price of the phones. Lol. Would sound amazing though.

[HTC EVO 3D] :
BOSE is overrated. You want us to pay for marketing and BS? It would be the same with the Dre's.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
If seen a few complaints already about beats, I've never heard a complaint about Bose, but yea that would be an extra couple hundred bucks on the price tag.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Because you've never been on audiophile forums. Go to AVS forums. In my own experience also.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
BOSE isn't bad, but their systems are extremely overpriced. They are only popular because of their marketing bs. But this is my opinion.

Harmon Kardon ftw
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I guess im a Bose fan cause that's what I have in my car and it sounds great. But ill just say anything will be an improvement over what were stuck with right now for a speaker.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jaywan:
Me to and just think if every device came with a pair of beats headphones... Omg...
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
Bose sucks, the only reason people think its good is the marketing and they haven't heard real speakers. any audiophile or person involved in audio will tell you the same
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
People only like those headphones because they say Dr. Dre on them. Some people are so susceptible to marketing tactics. The same people that have Dr. Dre headphones also have iPhones, X-box's, oakleys, a popped collar, and a mustang.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Seriously Bose is literally the worst since it's so marketed and high price, you don't really get the bang for the buck. Beats are up there as well.

No IEMs have even touched my Panasonic HJE-900K which are worth double even triple their price. Too bad they don't make them anymore since it was so underrated and off the radar.
[HTC EVO 3D] xTONEx:
Any1 that says skull candys are better then the dre studios is retarded. And also means u have never put a pair of studios on your head. Also means u dont realize theres 100 different versions of the skull candies 99 ofwhich suck hard. if the beats by dre arnt bassy enuff for u get a better amp. If they arnt crisp or clear enuff get a better amp. The drivers used are top notch specially if u break them in CORRECTLY. And it generally comes down to amp quality. And since we're in the evo 3d section we should all know the sound quality thru headphones from these phones blow this announcement will hopefully mean better sound quality and i dont mean tiny speakers inside plastic phones...
[HTC EVO 3D] tgkdubb:
Beats headphones actually provide good audio. A bit overpriced but your paying for Dre and Jimmy. I'd rather have sennhauser* (sp) for better price and audio but ill take beats quality audio in a phone. No to Bose tho. Hell to the no. Also I don't own a stang (tho moms did have a 95cobra) no popped collars and prefer ps3 to xbox, no iphones, no oakleys. Meh. 2cents.

currently using 3VO...yeah I call it that.
[HTC EVO 3D] ksweat2292:
no highs no lows, must be a bose
[HTC EVO 3D] Turducken:
LOL

I'll definitely use this one on a couple of friends that have Blose
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Lol you obviously did not pass 3rd grade...

I said skullz have better base

Now take that as a general user of said headphones wouldn't have it hooked up to a amp... More like there mp3 player or phone... And breaking in headphones doesn't change much in quality obviously going over rated power they will be distorted and sound like ****.... There not subwoofers or serious low Ohm component speakers....

And second "if it isn't crisp or clear enough get a better amp"?

You must be joking and if I must go in depth on why that statement is "retarded" then maybe you should stop talking like you know anything about audio....

All in all your comment about it was a open rant with no correct information... Congratulation you looked smart for 20 seconds
[HTC EVO 3D] xTONEx:
Skullz have better base? And im the retard? First off there are a ton of Crap skullz headphones... TONS OF THEM! Please name the pair of skullz that has better BASS (Notice the spelling!) then the hd or studio beats by dre... Now as a general user of said headphones (which u obviously arent) i use them from my receiver, computer and or mixer more then anything. Cause any1 who knows audio knows that using a crap phone or mp3 player ISNT going to produce the best sound to begin with... And yes breaking in speakers matters in sound quality, if they are not broken in they will not move as freely as they should and this DOES indeed affect sound quality. Buy a brand new pair of GOOD headphones and compare sound quality from day 1 to day 14. Night and day....

And yes muddy bass unclear, non crisp highs from the beats (hd or studios) means your source sucks. Its that simple! Please prove me wrong since im retarded according to you. Please produce the name of 1 pair of "skullz" that magically can get better audio from a crap source...

Ur obviously here to troll and your if u own beats headphones mean u own a iphone, xbox, bla bla comment says enuff on that topic
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
ill stick to my bose i have work just fine and sound great
[HTC EVO 3D] misterzeno:
Arguing about speakers in here is LOL worthy. Anything is better than the trash HTC is currently using

[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Well, they hired a B-list (nearly C-list) celebrity to help promote a phone that is technically B/C-list.

It should be Michael Bay or James Cameron to help promote. Or Dr. Dre...
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonkahn:
people will complain about anything... this is a good thing. Prices will not rise, whens the last time youve seen a phone over $200/250 with a 2 year? People assumed the same with 3D. not going to happen, carriers care about contracts. And comparing beats headphones to a speaker/software system by beats being used for a phone is comparing apples to oranges.. they arent going to make these phones "bumpin' out your pocket" lol basically going to enhance your listening experience when plugging in headphones, more of a sound card than anything. Anything is better than this tinny experience now.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
You're wrong...simple as that, here is why.

http://hardocp.com/article/2011/08/11/beats_by_dr_dre_studio_headphones_review/8 a review of Beats Studio headphones with several comparison from other headphones. the gist? good at music, but over priced in comparison to other headphones that sound better and cost less.

HP hasn't really proven anything either, I've seen a couple individual tests that show the Beats editions of the Envy laptop doesn't reproduce a much better range of sound for the price premium.

And least we not forget that HTC tried this already with Dolby. anyone remember the Surround?. Yeah, that monstrous built in surround speak system really blew us all away. of course it didn't get a price premium. but it wasn't a success either.
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonkahn:
Well felacio no one is wrong at this point, these are all observations. Also just curious to what i was wrong about? You stated i was wrong but never said what about? Am i wrong that phone prices with 2 yr contracts never exceed $200/250? Nope. Am I wrong that anything is better than our current listening experience? Well this is totally subjective so of course im not wrong... Sure i may be wrong about it improving our listening experience with software/chip of some sort.. but just my guess. I assure you that if its just a Beats speaker attached to a htc phone without any chip/software interface of some kind then it will be a waste of a big investment. *edit

My point is that people just love to complain, product isnt even out yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Well, in all seriousness. wasn't serious about the "youre wrong" thing. lol

But, I do feel this is not going to amount to much at all. the phone with a good pair of headphones already sounds fine. it's when you use the actual speaker it drops and isn't loud enough. And looking at what Beats/Dolby/THX/blah branded devices have already attempted, it doesn't amount to a whole lot and it's simply a "look what we have!" type of deal to draw in more sales. I'm disappointed in HTC. they could have just used that $300 million to R&D better all around phones instead of buying a name.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Now the people can blast their crappy music even louder on the bus from their phones now. Thanks HTC!

@felacio I think the HTC surround was a dud was because it was a WM7 phone. Nobody wants those. It was a nice phone and a great idea, they should have made an android version as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Eric1985:
Idk if this has been mentioned but are they gonna start putting the beats in brand new phones that haven't been released yet or as time goes by and htc keeps producing 3d's will they put them into the new build ones or is the design not capable of either the size of the speaker it whatever reason. I hope that made sense haha
[HTC EVO 3D] akrod2as:
When did you meter it? Also you need more batteries and get rid of the capacitor. It doesn't help. Get a mechman alternator.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
I got metered at automotion in wis. Dells

I hit 154 the first day

Second day I blew out my surround on one of my subs... I found a cheap way to fix it with 5,000psi epoxy :(

And I only keep the cap to make sure I'm not droping volts. I already have a 200amp Bosch alternator and 1/0awg ran all to it/chassis/batteries I don't need to upgrade anymore I already ****ed my durango up enough... Any more dbs and ill blow Windows I already need new weather stripping and rear hatch window....
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
I think the best speakers I ever heard in phones is Samsung hardware wise their on it
[HTC EVO 3D] SuicideMyk:
10 dollar skullcandy earbuds sound just fine to me on my HTC :D
[HTC EVO 3D] akrod2as:
Cap won't help with voltage drop, it's proven that they are useless. And the surrounds coming unglued on those SS XXX's is pretty common. Only reason I asked is you said 149-154 so I assume you're 149.9 for music and 154 for burping a tone.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Where the Hell have you been nate? Anyways I.used to compete as well but in a trunked car..I used mostly re audio equipment and hit 146 on the dash ..not bad for a single 15" re sx with about.1800 watts from a sundown amp. But i agree caps may regulate you voltage but it will be a steady lower voltage..if you get a batcap or some other battery you will much better off and keep your voltage over 14.4 ..I miss my system i need to re build one..I built a transmission line box for my sx and it was awesome tuned at 34hz it was loud and musical for a 15" ..a lot of ppl don't understand the importance of a custom well built box. Imo its one of the most important thing..later man..I miss your funny pics
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I think I lost some of my hearing from having subs.
[HTC EVO 3D] NYCHitman1:
Beats are garbage. I would easily take Sennheiser, Klipsch, and JBL over them.
[HTC EVO 3D] Visionikz03:
This will definitely be a large improvement over what HTC currently employs which sounds like a speaker from a $1.99 toy on the toy isle of the grocery store but don't expect to be hearing Dolby DTS from ur speakerphone. About Beats headphones, they sound nice but $300 is ridiculous! I got a pair of Bose around ear phones for half and side by side they sounded very comparable and I don't even like Bose that much.
[HTC EVO 3D] luckylui:
Id go w JBL, beats suck. They are too high priced for something that is blah, skulls are way better.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoanhart:
Hey guys,

I finally installed CM7 a few days a go (nightly #74), and I'm very pleased with it. The only downside, really, is the battery life. It's usable, but it drains at least 40% faster than Samsung-based ROMs.

Most of the power seems to be going to Cell Standby. I hear some of the custom kernels can improve things a lot.

Could those of you who have experimented with different kernels give me a good recommendation for a kernel and/or modem release which will work well? I just don't have time to spend hours digging through hundred-page forum posts these days...

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jneal9:
Glitch is good. Battery will be a bit better with a custom kernel but it still won't be as good as Froyo. Just the way it is.

When I ran CM7 Nightlies a while back I always stayed on the Stock Kernel. I guess that since Kernels aren't updated "Nightly" like the Nightlies you shouldn't use other ones. Just my personal preference.

Ah okay good to know. I might get a discounted MT4G/Panache if the right price comes up. I use a spare battery from Momax on my Nexus One and I'm quite happy with the quality. But Momax doesn't seem to make batteries for the MT4G or Thunderbolt.

Worst case scenario, why don't you try using a VM?

The easiest way is to borrow someone's Windows machine for a while or use a Ubuntu Live CD(or any other Linux Live CD). There is no Mac support for revolutionary and if I remember right, I believe they said there will never be. Maybe someone from Unrevoked will make a Mac version down the road, but right now it is not possible and you will have to find someone willing to let you borrow their Windows machine or download and burn a Linux Live cd and boot from it.

You're going to have to SBF him to .340 first and then follow that thread.

I suggest backing up his apps with this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result

first...but he'll lose all of his app data since he isn't currently rooted and can't use Titanium.

If you're super crafty and patient, maybe you can try using ADB to pull the data for him...and obviously push it back once he's up and running again.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lolumad273:
I'm not entirely sure if this is in the right section, since the Mp3 files work fine on Windows, I'm assuming it's an incompatibility with the phone.

Anyway, put all my music on my phone, noticed that some songs worked, and some didn't. I looked at the songs in Windows that did work, and didn't. I noticed a trend.

Songs that did work have album art, like this.

Songs that didn't work look like this,

The ones that don't work also don't have any information under the "Details" tab in the properties window.

I'm wondering how to get these MP3 files to be playable on my phone. I've tried Mixzing, and the stock player.

Thanks in advance,
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Did you compare bit rates and sampling rates as well as what version of id3 tag is on hose files? Other than that not sure what else to look for.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lolumad273:
The files that don't work don't have anything listed under the details tab. So I'm not sure of the bitrate, or the id3 tag.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
Load them up in a player like WinAMP, where you can drill down and look at the detailed properties of each file. That should help you to find what the true differences are.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lolumad273:
Alright, the ones that work are id3v2.4|id3v1, the ones that don't are id3v2.3|id3v1

Thanks for that recommendation of using an audio player.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
Hmm, IF the root cause is really the ID3 tags, I'd suggest the following two next steps.

1. Try PowerAmp - that thing seems to play ANYTHING

2. Get Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html). Load your files/tag data and re-save them all with the same tag format.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lolumad273:
When I open them in MP3tag, I notice the songs that don't work, have no bit rate, codec, frequency, or length listed. However, it shows them as having the same tag...
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Not sure if this info helps any but I use MixZing Player (free one) to play MP3 w/album art. I have played all my songs on shuffle and have not found any that would not play.

I have not tried the stock player yet.
