I dont think this thread is about features/looks/UI..

I think it is about how to improve/boost sound quality ..... imo
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Alexanderbooth:
Another for poweramp, is amazing, things I love the equaliser, the pre amp(for when connecting note to speakers), Album art downloader, but the best feature that I just can't live without now, is when you plug in the headphones your music starts and when you pull them out it stops, it starts from where you last stopped listening and if you put your music and shuffle and repeat, you never have to open the app again, it just plays and plays and plays, this feature is genius!!

ive tried using the poweramp trial version first and i really liked it. but got this problem - music stops and could not play music again until i kill the app and restart it. im not sure if its because im only using the trial version. anyone experienced this too?

nice thread..............;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
I really recommend PlayerPro with the added built-in equalizer instead of PowerAmp

It got more features, better sound enhancing and way less buggy....

Imho
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] roslg:
Im using the PlayerPro (trial) and have not had any problems, so far. I just liked some features of the PowerAmp like the cross-fade option eheh.

Wanted to know better before i get the paid version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] pakde:
For being free, i still use PowerAMP. This player could use a lot of improvements
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] LordManhattan:
PowerAMP isn't free. The "free" version only lasts for 14 days. Then you'll have to buy it or find something else.

(Or you can reflash the ROM and use the free one again :p )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tushar.das:
I strongly recommend Player pro. It's amazing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:

Great sound enhancing and way less buggy than PowerAmp (at least since last time I compared both apps)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] speedofheat:
Neutron for sound quality and PlayerPro for the interface.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] bc1977:
+1 for 3 (aka cubed)

the UI is very cool and it's easy to navigate between albums.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] LordManhattan:
Used PlayerPro Free for a couple a days. I bought the full version.

It DOES rock! My second vote (yes i got two) goes to..... PlayerPro.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Another tip

Well.. after trying virtually almost all players out there, I decided to stick with PlayerPro but....

If you don't mind the terrible UI and you are very technical and with time to spare, you will be surprised with.... ROCKBOX !

I am enclosing a version that was already too small for the sgs1 so be prepared :rolleyes:

If you want to try RockBox, some initial tips:

1) Start Rockbox

2) Put some reading glass or take a magnify glass (or try it without glasses anyway)

3) Go to : Settings / Theme settings / Font / and choose the 35 adobe helvetica .

And that's it, you have from now on a normal sized lettertype...

The UI will be still way to small to GNote's screen and is quite use-UNfriendly, but once you start to get used to it and explore all the possibilities ( requires some technical knowledge ) you will realize that the sound enhacement possibilities are amazing !

Once again RockBox is not about looks , fancy features and stuff, it's about sound enhancement

And there are workarounds to improve the UI, I just didnt look into it yet...

I also read somewhere that you can add bigger lettertypes

If somebody come up with a better RockBox version for the GNote, please report ...

playlist import?

Hi all,

Loving the note (just over a week old now :-)

Loving this thread as one of its main jobs is playing my music.

One thing that has always eluded me though is the ability to import playlists!

I use an app on my PC (MusicBee) to sync to my phone by playlist. It also copies accross the playlist in any format I choose.

Up to now though I have yet to find a player thar can read the playlists. So I have create them manualy.

If anyone knows of one that does I'd love to hear of it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] hackerboi:
+1 for PlayerPro, just download from the market yesterday and i'm hooked !!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
I stopped working with playlists a long time ago...I create folders instead (sub-folders inside my own media folder)

In Android, Almost every music player have the option "folders" in music menu.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] cliver:
Trouble is I have spent a long time organising, tagging and getting album art etc. for my music collection at home, which is most important to me.

I have it organised as AlbumArtist>Album>TrackTitle.flac or mp3

and don't want to change all that just for my mobile player.

I also have a nice utility (MusicBee) on my windows pc that syncs playlists nicely and can convet and copy the playlist accross as well. So I can get a subset of my music (over 1300 albums in all and growing) onto the phone at any one time just by creating and selecting different playlists to sync. So I can get whole albums or a mix from different albums as I please. To re arrange them into "playlists" would be a pain and pretty inflexible and would bugger up my home system so not really an option.

It's fine where I copy a whole album across but where I compile a playlist from various albums it is a pain. I get around it at the moment by clearing the recently added playlist, than copying across my new playlist then copying the recently added playlist to a new playlist. Thgis works fine when adding a bit at a time but if I rebuild/flash my phone it means I have to start from scratch again :(

Personally I think it's pretty disgraceful that non of the mobile music apps support playlists properly. I would willingly pay decent money for a decent app that supported playlists.

It would, I'm sure, make all our lives so much easier.

But then I seem to be in a minority on this so I'm not holding my breath :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Livewings:
Nobody here actually uses Google Music? :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] cliver:
Personally I still buy CD's and rip them myself into .flac format so I keep full cd quality.

I guess I'm a bit of a dinosaur but I like to have my music on me and not in the cloud. I am pretty anal about my music ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
I dont know if you are a minority, it all depends on how many users are following/watching this thread ;)

In my case, my main concern is sound quality and basic organization, I dont care much about album art, layouts, UI, etc.etc. so I cant help you there...

Perhaps an useful tip:

Root your phone, than install Titanium backup app. and keep your backups up to date.

So in case you flash/wipe your phone or whatever, you can restore the player you were working with, and all its data and you don't have to start from scratch again

Not to mention nandroid/cwm backups from recovery....

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] cliver:

Good point. I have titanium backup installed but yet to use it in anger. I'll see how it goes when;) I next need it. Thanks for pointing that out. I can concentrate on quality rather than a search;) for the holy grail.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Winamp

I wont have time to play with my GNote on the coming days, but I am so far quite impressed with the new Winamp for Android.

Many features like enabling auto-mount to automatically set device to USB drive mode when connected via USB and even Wireless sync capabilities.

Even the sound enhancing is not bad with the built-in equalizer ( pro version)

and almost comparable to PlayerPro

It got even shoutcast radio (streaming radio) with equalizer (pro version)

Not bad at all .........

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Lazy Rich:
I'm using PowerAMP since one of the first beta versions. Best interface, best compatibility, very stable and for me the most important part, it has the best equalizer i have ever enjoyed on an android device. For me there can not be a better player :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Tubgirl:
Agreed! The extensive Shoutcast Radio support is why I use WinAmp in the first place but the "Auto Mount" feature is also very nice as well... and I'm only using the free version. (will buy the Pro version only to support the developers even though I'll have to live with a nice equalizer as well ;-)

Cannot resist that radio support....I am finding tons of great radio stations with very good bitrate...specially from my country of origin, which is far away right now.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] fntms:
Is there a player that fully supports URL streaming (I listen to WFMU radio which has an app but with no sound enhancement so it's only 128kbps...also KFJC, which has no app), while offering some sound enhancement (same as "noise sharpening" in Foobar maybe?) That would be awesome!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jvc.silence:
poweramp is the best. is amazing. poweramp is the first android app that i actually purchase. i never buy apps but this is a must.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Try Winamp (all around music player) which got radio streaming and equalizer support also for the radio part and TuneIn Radio ( dedicated radio app with dedicated radio features but no equalizer) and tell us what you think..

There are also equalizer apps for android that will approach other music apps like TuneIn radio

If you try those, dont forget to report back ;)

Long ago, I extensively compared PowerAmp, PlayerPro and Mixzing players ..

I got better sound on my both devices ( sgs and GNote) from PlayerPro specially when using my own settings within the built-in equalizer...

But, as they say, taste is personal and not every ear is the same....:)

sometime when we overclock or underclock it the device get unstable and start rebooting again and again

[General Questions and Answers] thetrick:
Hello everybody,

I have small problem with my HTC Desire. I have installed Oxygen rom and since then I'm not able to copy large files from phone to PC.

I connect to pc via usb cable, start usb storage on the phone, it appears in my windows system, when I start copying large files (large I mean >500 MB) at some point of the time transfers stops, phone disconnets usb storage (changes color from green to orange) and windows says that it can not find the file. Rebooting does not solve the issue.

This doesn't work only while copying from the phone to pc. PC to SD transfer works withouth any issues. In recovery mode everything works fine so it's clearly fault of the software or its configuration.

My hardware/software data:

HTC Desire GSM with Samsung 32GB class 10 sd card

Tested on 2 PC with windows 7 32bit and windows 7 64bit

Android 2.3.7

Kernel 2.6.35.14_r3-stable thalamus@Tc-99 #1

Baseband version 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

Mod version Oxygen-2.3.2-Bravo

Build number GWK74

Oxygen rom was installed on fully wiped phone.

I would appreciate some help with this, Oxygen rom is so far the best OS I had on my phone but this makes my ilfe a bit more difficult.

Thank you in advance,

Cheers,

Hi guys!

First off I wanna say I love my Note!! I have the Korea version as well.

Anyway, I still have my Galaxy S I which I ended the contract to get a Note.

I have to say as far as the "blacks" are concerned, the Galaxy S I wins hands down and also the text/color is sharper and even brighter than the Note.

I tried to take side by side photos but this was the best I could do to show the difference. Both phones are at max. brightness

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/819/img0005ib.jpg/

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/31/img0006pq.jpg/

The pics do not do justice. In person there is a real difference. Even the capacitive lights on the bottom are brighter and whiter.

Not a big deal though when my Gaalaxy S isnt being compared to the Note. Just bothers me a bit personally

Thanks!!

Its becoz of the resolution . Galaxy Has 480 x 800 and in Note 1280 x 800, their is a lot of difference in these too models. anyway Supercurio is working on color issues on Note. lets Hope for better result.

Coming from a galaxy s with a perfect screen i have to agree that the black levels on the note is not as good and yes picture quality on the first generation screen is better even if its just plain pentile and non hd resolution.

People who started with the galaxy note are easily blown away but those who started with the first gen need more to be pleased. I also started a thread about this before and got the same results on the black levels.. im hoping that hd samoled plus can redeem the samoled family.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
I think it is an amazing screen!!! I love it, about it being less bright, god I think the note is too bright. I never have it on full brightness unless its really bright sunshine, and in the dark I wish it would go darker, but it won't.

And the black levels!!!(I'm sick of hearing about this in the this forum) some people are so anal about this, I mean I can only just about tell that the screen is on, on a full black screen when I'm in a pitch black room, which I did to test the blacks. So 99% of the time you can't tell, and even in a pitch black room as soon as theres a pixel of light on the screen your eyes adjust and the blacks look black again. Secondly how many of you that are bothered about this, actually sit in the cinema or watch tv or when on the computer, say oh my good the blacks aren't quiet black. I can pretty much guarantee that all the screens in your life aren't LED so why bother so much about it on your phone?

I worked a few years in an industrial R&D department and designed new products, but we NEVER would have dared to release a product with such massive quality fluctuations (problems) onto a mass market! Especially when the screen is THE major unique selling argument!

Jeez, dont buy a samsung nexus then because that thing is a mess. Signal fluctuates so badly that its kinda funny. Fake screen size (the android buttons are actually on the bottom of the screen, reducing the screen size to the razr. The sound is a joke, the battery useless. Match that with no sd card slot no hdmi and the headphone jack at the bottom of the phone and youve got a 600$ flop.

I bought it for my 12 year old and even he doesnt want it. He wants me to bring it back and get a razr....

BTW, i have a bad s pen and the trademark samsung pink hue in the middle of my camera but asude from that, i love my note. When i saw it in youtube early 2011 i knew it would become my daily phone web surfer.

I wish for the same phone with S amoled PLUS, volume and sleep buttons not across from each ither, no pink in camera, mute button (like iphone) and the sane type of notification light as on the samsung nexus, micro hdmi out and quad core :)

try the free wallpaper called "no wallpaper" by simplicity apps. The blacks that you see with that wallpaper are amazing and it is free. i often use my phone at night when my child is sleeping, so lights are off and dark and see pitch black screen.

have 2 htc desires at home with amoled screens and the note screen is way better than that. have seen SGS and SGS2 screens and the note is definetely much better than that.

also try the wallpaper (free and paid versions) of KF Flames or KF Flames Donation by kittehface software. the blacks on that are also awesome with equally awesome flame effects. prefer the stock setting than variations possible with paid version but bought paid version just to support developer as liked free version.

the screen on even the sgs2 is no comparison to the one on the note. is your phone stock version or is having different roms affecting the display?
