Balancing audio?

I know this is probably a bit late. But i had a similar problem. My Sennheiser HD205 Headphones Started acting weird. They have an excellent sound of them and are really comfortable for someone like me who would wear them for a long period of time. Recently I had to get the cable fixed that went into the actual headphones because if they moved ever so slighty all sound was gone. I got them fixed and then the sound went weird the next day, when ever I played a song with a heavy bass, once the bass part came on the whole song was muted until it stopped and the vocals were distorted, then I was playing around with the sound settings on my computer and i noticed the audio balance was a bit off then usual (Left=78 and Right=78) so I brought them back down to 50:50 and it was all better :) . I thought maybe you should try that, seeing as nobody else left a suggestion! (If you dont know where to find the sound setting on your comp, go to: Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound, and a window should pop up. right click on the speaker output you use (its called Speaker by default) and click properties then click on the tab properties and balance it to 50% on both sides)

NOTE: Make shure your not playing any music (eg. Itunes) while your doing this. it MAY stop the program from working! :D

Good Luck!
[General Accessories] eromoleon:
Hello,

I had the same problem. Unlike most headphones, the Sennheiser HD205 uses two separate ground wires, these are the two uncolored wires. The red one is for the right (the pin that's closer to the middle) the blue one is for the left (the pin that's further from the middle). The colorless wires both go to the ground pin.

I connected them this way, now I don't have any distortion, and I can hear the vocals loud and clear on both sides.
[General Accessories] daniel_loft:
Sounds like you don't have ground connected to the signal source (jack).

If the jack has 3 connectors (tip + 2 sleeves) the wires go like this: tip - blue, first sleeve - red, second sleeve (furthest from the tip) - ground (usually golden).

Try an connect the two sides separately and check if they work individually. Only then connect them both. If the cable doesn't have any shor circuits it should work just fine.

Good luck!

Is this phone worth buying for £130, I want to know your thoughts.

Value for money?

Thanks

Yes.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] evildave_666:
A few months ago I'd say yes, now I'd say wait a month or so and get the Galaxy W on release.

1.4GHz CPU, 480x800, Gingerbread and official Flash support out of the box at a similar price.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jusada:
For that price get two, and grab me a spare.

Asking this in the Ace forum is like going to church and ask do you believe in god ;)

Tap-a-talked from my Galaxy Ace
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mr.Sanju:
try to look for moto defy too.. heard it supports flash too.. and it's water proof too ;)..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
Wish I got mine for £130. Yeah it's good, not brilliant. It's very good value at £130 though.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Deeco7:
Ahaha, you gave me a good laugh!

The reason why I am asking is because I am looking for a good phone for my mum, which is valie for money and I found and Ace that fit the bill and fell in £150 price range, but wanted opinions from Galaxy Ace users.

Thank you for your input so far, keep them coming...:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Trixxta:
Should be good enough for your mum. My mum is more than satisfied with it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
I guess you mom isnt a poweruser so this will be perfect for her. The price for the Galaxy S isnt much more expensive but Ace is good enough already.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] himanshugurbani:
if u want more power, mods, flash support, ports, ambient light sensor, bigger screen, higher resolution, water resistant, dust proof. all this at same price, go buy defy

MOTOROLA DEFY
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Yes, guddu, regretting since you owned this phone?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Deeco7:
Just had a look at the Motorola Defy, and it looks too clunky and ugly in my opinion.

As this is for my mum, it has to be appealing, but no compromise on specs, I am not looking for low range phones such as htc wildfire etc. like that.

I am mainly looking towards Samsung models but I would consider others that match the criteria and fit my budget, however I will have to rule out the 'Motorola Defy'. I am not worried about software, as lomg it is 2.2 and can upgrade to 2.3 or MIUI

Keep your suggestions coming it, I appreciate it very much so.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
If u just want stock, samsung is pretty good on updates. Just this week alone we saw bunch of gingerbread official updates rolled out. Not to mention we had samfirmware and odin, with this two combined, ace is unbrickable for average user :)

Dears,

I purchased lets golf 2 hd from gameloft wap store,and installed it, when i opened the game a message appears for checking the files, after that " the game requires additional 120 MBs to run on your device" when i press >> (YES), a windows appears with the message " A problem occurred and download couldn't be completed successfully. Do you want to restart the download? " when i press YES, the same problem again and again i tried several times i even uninstalled the game and re-install it again but with no luck. please advice :)

I even tried cracked games like realfootball, lets golf 2 but same problem I don't know what's wrong
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ncaissie:
Your wifi needs to disconnect then reconnect.

I was/am having wifi problems.

It still says connected but doesn't work. I think it happens when the phone goes to sleep.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] zerojay:
Ask Gameloft for support. They've been known to give free games to some people who have had problems as well.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] loly2002:
i tried everything i even tried the cracked version for some of gameloft games

still same problem :mad:

i tried to disconnect and reconnect again but with no luck :confused:

i sent them couple of mails but they didn't reply ?

i guess i will have to wait

thank you my friends for trying to help me

appreciate your help :o

Are you using an ad blocker? if so that could be the problem.

Try revertig it if u use one.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Deoxlar:
Or could you're router firewall be blocking the port used by gameloft to download the game
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] JelloFreak:
Sometimes these games just act stupid. After my last restore I had to retry the download for Asphalt 6 like 50 times, but then Eternal Legacy worked the first time and Sacred Odyssey took like 3 tries.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ncaissie:
Gameloft doesn't respond to emails for some reason. I had to call them. They also gave me free games for clicking download to many times and not going into My Downloads first. If you try to re-download the game t charges you again. So technically I did pay for them. But they were nice about it. (Accept they wouldn’t just refund it :( )
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Magelix:
i have the same problem
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] arcsy:
I am having the same problem with all of the gameloft games... :( Has anyone come up with the solution yet ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Zerobarat1:
Might as well be SD card issues. You could try a to back-up your information and format the SD card.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] arcsy:

Thanks, Sonkey
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
This has been discussed numerous times since 3.1 was released.

Yes, USB gamepads are supported. Not 100% sure about analog thumbpads for psx playing though. Try it

why bother using a wired joystick when you can get a wireless joystick at just few bucks more.. :confused:

i have PS3 wireless joystick and installed sixaxis contoller app... been happy and no problem so far ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] yyiinn:
Those of you using an xbox controller hardwired..

my left analogue stick works but not the right one. also the top L+R buttons work but not the bottom ones..

do you guys have the same issues??

Also..

Those using the PS3 controller.. have you noticed that any buttons arent responding? might invest in a PS3 controller if they all work correctly.

thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] rafinhasantana:
I've bought this app on the market

(Damn, cannot post links...)

it's called 'USB/BT Joystick Center'

It's working perfectly to me...

I've tested 3 generic usb joysticks and all of them worked.

You can create the USB driver based on the bits input of the device.

really nice, and no root is needed.
[Acer Iconia A500] Goldenknight67:
rafinhasantana 'USB/BT Joystick Center

Hey rafinhasantana,

I bought USB/BT JOY center too but i was afraid to install it. check out the permissions on that thing. Says it can record passwords you enter in another application. I know its probably needed to record button actions etc... but i was a little concerned.

Do you have any issues with it thus far? Anyone else use this????
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I've been looking into this. When you say a "wireless PS3 remote", sdo you mean the stock Sony branded remote, or other?
[Acer Iconia A500] rafinhasantana:
Hi!

Well i've had no problems with that.. It works like an alternative input method, like in the Wii controller input, but you're not gonna use to type your passwords around. I've contacted the developer about the deadzone for sticks and he hass implemented that...

It's working fine for me, and since I don't use the tablet for banking I'm not THAT worried about passwords on it at all...
[Acer Iconia A500] zitoccr:
Yeah I use one and work very good!!
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Excellent, gonna go grab a Sony remote today. Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I just noticed the Six Axis app requires root... shucks.

Those SixAxis Dual Shock controllers... the ones listed as wireless still have the mini USB connection on the back. Is that ONLY for charging, or can those be hooked up via USB to the tablet for use as well?
[Acer Iconia A500] zitoccr:
Thats right i used it that way to play shadowgun
[Acer Iconia A500] mythek88:
Im also thinkimg of getting a set or paiir of ps3 controller. Im kinda leaning towards the bluetooth wireless sixaxis. But before i pull the trigger, can anyone plz confirm that you can connect two wiireless sixaxis controllers simultaneously for 2-player mode in some games? If not, can the wired controllers do it? Tia
[Acer Iconia A500] Gimbulate:
Anyone know if PlayStation One (dual shock) controllers can work properly?

I have one hooked up via an OTG cable and a USB conversion hub (to plug the controller into) and can only seen to get the analogue sick to work on FPse. The others buttons (other than the D-pad and right analogue stick) seem to be working in the joycentre but I am not sure how to get them to work outside it, out how to tell the joycentre what physical buttons the presses relate to. Does anyone know if a tutorial video in English?
[Acer Iconia A500] jaydubly:
are you sure it do sent need root because every freaking video I seen said you need it to use that app( can you make a video of how you do it.) if so can you use a controller to show me how to use it on modern combat 4 when you put it on YouTube
[Acer Iconia A500] jaydubly:
please

are you sure because videos on YouTube said you need a root can you do a video on how to use it and tell me when you do it if you can ( send title of video to me in a private message) I want to find out how to map keys on modern combat 4

I'm using my Acer iconia A500 tablet with 4.3(upgraded)

aww it still says 5$cad when I hit a game from the launcher :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Gameloft is pretty lame tbh.

I have bought my last titles from them forever.

They shamelessly rip off better games that you probably would have more fun playing the original on an emulator.

I was playing Sacred Odyssey thinking it was original... Had never played Zelda:Orcania of Time. Now i am playing it on N64oid and I am like "WTF Gameloft you cheap c%*$".

Sacred Odyssey - 1Gig

Zelda - 25mb

The funny thing is the 25mb game is better than the 1 Gig rip off.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] LemonPlusTea:
Minecraft's not from gameloft..

Also, link shows me 4.99 USD.. Im in SG. :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brochador:
Promo is not available in my country also, it is still 2.99$.

Anyway some Gameloft games had an issue esp the controls in MC2 and splinter cell conviction..

I really wan't to play that splinter cell, but the i'm always having a hard time using the controls, the sensitivity is too fast when using the right touchpad and there's no option to decrease it..
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Not to mention the bug riddled Backstab.

Really have lost faith in this developer.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
Actually Gameloft only charges $5 max while Zelda cost me $70 back in the days. ;)

Even at $5 I think the games are worth it :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] eros78:
I agree %110 with previous poster. Gameloft's re-makes of some classic titles is pretty shameless. I give them credit for being one the first to bring these genres to android masses.

That said, Xperia play owners should expect to pay a lot less for gameloft titles than some of the better titles in the same genre. I just finished battlefield 2. That games was done really well. The developer had the time to make it right. The controls are so fluid...man is was great. In contrast, play black pegasus 2, and your rubbing the controls constantly. This seems to be there method of there control skeme. Even in splinter cell conviction, as much as I would like to continue trying to play it, I cant stand the controls. EA's games of much higher production quality imho. I have been playing dead space and once again intuative controls.

Graphically the games seem to be somewhat sub-par by comparison to some of the EA releases. I would not have paid for asphalt before nfs but I digress. So 99 cents ain't to shabby. Fair exchage is not a robbery, right.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Getting ALL of these.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brochador:
Sometimes I'm thinking too not to buy again from this publisher, but still I continue buying their games.:D Last night I even bought their UNO game thinking that I can play poker, or pusoy, or tong-its on that, haha.. I just played it once gets bored coz I don't understand what am I doing while playing that..:D

I really hope that they will fix the controls of splinter cell.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Gameloft needs to get on the EA Store... purchase the Xperia PLAY version of Dead Space... play it extensively... then revise EVERY ONE of their shooters until the aiming controls work JUST like that. Unless they issued a new update that made things awesome, I remember Modern Combat 2 having controls that were poor, but doable... then they issued an update that made already sub-par controls into something that was simply IMPOSSIBLE to use.

The version of BIA2 I played was the worst of them all though... for some reason, trying to aim would automatically make me fire, and all kinds of things were just... ugh... Iuno why, but I bought that too... and I guess I'll see soon enough if it's been fixed.

(If nothing else... I get the strangest nerdy pleasure from seeing my list of Xperia PLAY games in the Launcher growing)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
I got

Nova 2

Eternal Legacy

Star Front Collision

Uno

Rainbow Six

Brothers in Arms 2

Assassins Creed

For $8 :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
I would happily pay PSP prices for games like Zelda if they were available.

I am not happy paying 9NZD for a game that doesn't function properly and is filled with bugs.

May look nice and all, but with their "style of content" ethos they are pretty much making mass turds of bloatware games that lack two of the major ingredients of making a game enjoyable.

I have a long list of things I could buy for $9NZ, like the Baldur's Gate 1+ 2, a PS2 platinum title, PSP platinum title and Minecraft Pocket.

They can't even take time out of their day to come up some original content so these games ain't even worth 20cents tbh.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] CapNM77:
Tried to get the games and it would not let me. Error after I entered all my info. I'm in Los Angeles it will work but at 4.99. Wishful thinking damn and I was going to get everything too.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Did you select the R800x from the drop down and scan the QR code? Thats the only way to get that price otherwise you get hit for full price if you try and go through their wapshop.gameloft.com

As for everyone's criticism, I tend to agree in a way. I own a few of their games and yes they do rip off other franchises (ex Star Battalion is a huge ripoff of the story of Star Wars), but the production values in the games are decent. That said they are like just 1 notch below ready. Theres lots of little glitches in Assassins Creed that are a little annoying, and yeah the MC2 controls do suck pretty bad, Apshalt 6 has a few glitches as well. They feel like beta releases, almost ready for prime time but missing the polish and final fixes. This is why I wouldn't pay $5-$7 bucks for these games. But they continuously run sales like almost every week with either buy 1 get 1 free, or 99 cent games, if you're patient you can get any game of theirs you want for a buck. I've spent a total of $2.97 with them and have 3 of their games. While not perfect, at that price they are good enough.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Every single game since 1990 is a rip off of a spectrum/amstrad/amiga game anyway :rolleyes:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TheAugust:
I just picked up Spider-Man, Assassins's Creed, Sacred Odyssey, and Uno for $4. Haven't installed them yet, though, and I avoided any shooting games since I heard they're pretty lame in controls - are they really that bad?

Does anyone know how well (if at all) these work on other ROMs, namely Cyanogen?

Also, if I keep the apk, can I download the game data even months from now?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
You can download the game data whenever. In fact you don't even need to keep the .apk. When you bought it you should have created a gameloft user id. You can log into their wapshop.gameloft.com site at any time and download any game you've bought from them.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TheAugust:
Ah, I see it now. I asked because according to the game's faq, you're no liberty entities to download the game after 90 days.

I paid via Amazon checkout and I only had to use Amazon credentials; no Gameloft ID was required/created, but it still seems to have generated an account on the webpage. I wonder if it's tied to a cookie, or unique phone id/Mac address broadcast via the browser.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Actually they do have one decent game but is a diablo rip off. Dungeon Hunter 2 is pretty well done.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
This is bullsh*t.

Keeps failing. Any fixes?

[HD2 General] french-anonymous:
I there,

Before everything, I'd like you to know that I'm French, and my English probably sucks. I really do my best to do not hurt your beautiful language too much, but if I do, please forgive me.

So, I would like to find a very fast Android Nand rom for a HD2, something that won't lag, if possible with Sense but it's no big deal if I don't have Sense. I'd like something stable, not old, and light. The minimum is the best for me ; minimum apps (don't need facebook, twitter, Youtube, themes... etc). Oh, and I can't use MIUI based, it never worked fine on my phone. Of course, as I am French, it would be nice with multilangue support.

Any advice?

Thank you very much for your help.
