[Nokia Lumia 800] htc12345:
Soundwise you should look at three things:

1 call quality with phone earpiece

2 call quality with phone internal speaker

3 audio quality of internal speaker

4 audio quality to external device

5 mic

All have different character and should imo be included in a review. Furthermore audio is very difficult to objectively review as user experience is based on personal opinions.

anyway, my experiences with the Lumia are these:

1) call quality earpiece: normal phone calls in office, phone calls with a lot of background noise, and sound quality while in call are very ok, what you'd expect from Nokia. the volume level is okay too, the lowest setting is not too loud like on most phones.

2) call quality internal: okay, loud enough, not too much treble which is very please on prolonged phonecalls.

3) audio on internal speaker, what do you expect from a 3 mm driver in a very small cabinet. I think it's fine, not harsh, much treble and don't expect any bass.

4) audio to external:

a) tested on hi end phones, sounds very well, includes all frequencies, converters sound a bit flat but i'm sure most users won't notice.

b) bluetooth i had someone verifiy and this seems good quality

5) I had someone else call me with Lumia800 and this is as expected from Nokia

But, I'm a bit worried about "audio quality updates" like in the latest firmware. I'm sure they fiddle with algorithms, noise cancelling, auto volume, and minimal levels. I live with the philosophy that whatever is good, doesn't need to be changed.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vangrieg:
That's a great philosophy, but it's obviously not good for all users. Whether an update can fix anything or this is a faulty batch of phones is another question.
[Nokia Lumia 800] xumix:
Can't believe this. MANY users say the sound is awful and I can confirm it also. It just lacks MUCH low frequencies.

What is your HW version etc. ?
[Nokia Lumia 800] mjl_79:
Many users have reported improved sound quality and better bass after update released yesterday.

Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 800] xumix:
I'll definetely check this, but I'm almost on my way to cashback.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vassilihk:
Thank you all

You guys do help me a lot!:p

I went to shop with my pair of hf5 and um2 to test the phone's demo (It still didn't release at my place.... sigh........ and the phone had not updated with the latest patch)

That's my experience

- NO BASS :mad:

- Other frequencies -> medicore

- Stereo is good, it felt like the music is surrounding you ( Better than my xperia pro :cool:)

- There are some noise when completed silent... :(

To be honest, I quite disappointed with lumia , its music performance (I should rephase it, lol) even cannot compete with 5800 3 years ago!

I miss my i9000 with voodoo sound... it is so hard to have a phone with nice looking , good music performance and not-a-iphone :p
[Nokia Lumia 800] kefty:
If the sound quality is the most need of you, how do you like the mobile phone "Meizu" in China?
[Nokia Lumia 800] htc12345:
vassilihk, with the UM2, are you using loudness or eq on other phones if that is available?

i agree the sound quality of phones has decreased. everything is made smaller, faster, and lighter and you can see this in the build quality
[Nokia Lumia 800] vassilihk:
I do not use equalizer, what i believe a good music player is simply deliver accurate output, pure frequency response is the best.

Let the earphone do the job, not the equalizer, that's what i believe, lol~
[Nokia Lumia 800] vassilihk:
Actucally I live in Hong Kong and Meizu planned to release MX on 1.1.2012

In fact, I do have a bias on china-brand phone for its built quality, goodwill... I did not know how's the foreigners think about Meizu:D

Ofcoz, I'll have a try on MX if it is good :p
[Nokia Lumia 800] htc12345:
true... true .. :)

so while typing this i listen to music using good, very good headphones. clean and crisp sound, bass included. no overkill in the bass but the frequency are definetely there. just don't use tiny in ear drivers to generate booming bass sound...
[Nokia Lumia 800] wwfc:
My in-ear beats headphones that came with my Sensation XL improve the sound output on the Lumia 10 fold. it's al about the headphones.
[Nokia Lumia 800] morial:
i have an a lumia 800 since 1 week and i am also pretty disappointed by the sound quality. there is no bass, even with the update :-(

i really like the phone, but this is a no-go because i hear a lot of music. if nokia diesn`t change this, i'll switch to an apple or samsung device.
[Nokia Lumia 800] htc12345:
i think we're running round in circles or that different phone users have different ears. however to the suggestion above of comparin hw rev numbers, noone replied.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vangrieg:
Okay, I have finally replaced my unit and got one that has great audio quality. The difference is massive.

It has the same hardware revision number and everything is exactly the same, the IMEI is different by about 700, so they have been built in the same production run most probably. There's no way to tell apart from plugging in your earphones and testing for yourself.
[Nokia Lumia 800] tissotti:
Is there anyway to manually increase some frequency values?

It's frustrating as the Lumia 800 sounds great using my Denons, but the very low frequencies are flat, very flat.

I really hope there will be some fix for this because as a whole i like the device a lot and the music experience is great. That said music to me on the phone is easily on the top 3 features so it needs to work.

It's a really weird problem, I use KuyaDroid 4.3.233 , and kernel version2.6.29 , and when i connected to WIFI and then i lock the screen, or the phone lock itself, the phone reboot automatically. Yesterday i forgot to check my phone abd it restart itself about 30 times, cause i forgot to turn off wifi, and it connected automatically everytime then restarted itself. Anybody could help me with this issue? I searched the whole forum, and didn't find the answer at similar threads, so i started a new one.

Sorry for my bad english.

And thanks for the help:)

SOLVED:

First of all it was hell of a day. I saved a puppy dogie, the poor thing was outside at the -4 Ceksius top of a bunch of fallen leaves, its really cold outside, so i bring him to my home, he was very greatful. Poor thing. But now i have a dog ^^. And than the rest of my day till now was installing different roms kernels. But nAa kernel + Mini CM7 is unbeatable, it solved all of my problem, every single problem, it's flawless :)

So merry christmas if you have a problem like this spend much much hour of installing and reading, if you're a noob like me, then enjoy a cup of hot chocolate front of the fire place, with your puppy drinking milk :)

Do a full fastboot wipe. People often flash things without doing a proper wipe then are confused why things are broken. This means /system, /data, /boot, /cache, /preinstall, /webtop. All wiped. Then go into cwm and for good measure do a factory reset and wipe dalvik. Then flash alien, reboot, let it build system files, then reboot and flash the theme . Bam. Done.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Geezer Squid:
Have you tried removing the battery for a few seconds? Remove the battery, replace the battery press and follow the instructions in step 3 below. If that works, then follow all the other instructions starting at number one and of course skipping number three as you've already done it:

The following is just an FYI: I had to go back to stock rooted after I had a bad rom install. I used: R3L3As3Droot And 43V3R Root For The Bionic V2.1 - RootzWiki to flash back to stock rooted with Forever Root hack installed. I followed the instructions below (I just typed this from memory so hopefully I didn't leave anything out. If I did I'm sure others will point out any corrections that need to be made):

1. Extract the zip folder on your computer.

2. Navigate to the R3L3As3Droot folder you just created

3. ENTER AP FASTBOOT MODE ON YOUR PHONE [Both Vol Dwn and Up Plus Pwr/Scroll Dwn to AP Fastboot/Press Vol up]

4. Plug phone into computer

5. Double click the file R3L3AS3DRoot.bat for windows, MotoRooter.sh for Linux, or Mac-MotoRooter for Mac OS X in the folder.

6. Just follow the instructions on the screen

7. When your phone boots up and the Green Android is asking you to activate your phone, don’t. Instead do the 4 corners = Bypass Activation.

5. Bypass The Activation Screen: touch the top left corner of the screen, then top right, then bottom right, and then bottom left. This will bypass the Android Activation Screen. Then,

9. Set usb mode to Charge Only and then make sure USB Debugging is checked in Settings>Applications>Development

10. Resume following instructions on the computer screen.

Good luck.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
Hi all,

does anyone know how I can remove the battery info that shows on the stock lock screen (percentage and id_lock.. images)? Now I've changed the battery info in the status bar, it's really not needed.

I've tried removing the relevant lines from keyguard_screen_lock.xml in the layout folder of my framework-res, but it hasn't changed anything and I'm too noobish to know what else to fiddle with.

I could try Widgetlocker or something similar, but that kinda defeats the point. Plus, I'm just too stubborn..

Many thanks!

I think I've figured it out, but I'll have to wait until I get home to try it out. It looks like I need to edit keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml in the layout folder of my framework-res.apk and remove the line:

"<TextView android:textSize="18.0dip" android:textColor="#ccffffff" android:id="@id/status1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="5.0dip" android:drawablePadding="8.0dip" />".

Apparently, status1 is the battery icon and percentage while status2 is the alarm icon and info.

I'll try it out and report back.

I consider not accepting pm cause of all the things people can don.d answers to easy

you're 100% right...and here my two cents, just to help you:

@capy put it in the op if you want)

Perfect installation

-go to recovery (4ext or CWM)

--format* system, data, cache (wipe|format in 4ext recovery, mounts and storage in CWM)

note:*format is not the same as wipe. Wipe clean partition's data. Format clean partition's data and also parition's files.

---now chose wipe data factory reset (you MUST do this)

----flash rom

How to set the rom in a proper way

-after flash process, boot the rom

--DON'T restore your apps through your google account..just skip that part

---once in home, let the rom fully boot (wait 10 minutes)

----now reboot (NOT hot restart, just reboot)*

*please note that at the very first boot your free ram is always about 150\170Mb, after the second reboot, your ram will be 200\250, it means that reboot the phone after flash, and before doing anything to set the rom is better.

-----now you can restore your app through titanium, or recovery restoring your data partition, or whatever.

**NOTE: i suggest you to install the rom after a sd format (fat32, 32Kb), also I suggest you to flash any mods, just like supercharger, RunnyUV or whatever, even themes, BEFORE restoring your fb,twitter,google accounts. Install sd increase, set it on 2048, is good for your sd cache....be sure you have a nand backup, so you can easily fix any issue.

if you follow these steps, you won't have any issue, and even if an issue occurrs, you are able to detect where the problem is.ç

[Desire General] nickabbott:
I know people always want to the do minimalist thing when installing a new ROM and hate the fact that they are recommended to fully wipe.

I work in IT and treat my phone like my PC and I would always prefer to fully wipe and install fresh than do an upgrade or bodge repair and keep my existing data.

Some people don't use their phone like I do and I don't mind losing old messages or call history so I just fully wipe everytime I flash a new ROM and I've never had FC on any of the roms I try.

I often think it's because people don't wipe and just do the minimalist thing they can to upgrade their ROM, which most likely causes the most hassle!
