Fifa 12, mostly

I usually do Fifa 12 or asphault 6 for quick play. Just a quick match or single race and done.

With a little more time I am actually enjoying Anomaly Warzone more than I believe I should :)

PvZ was a great time killer as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] star85:
Hi,

I have a samsung galaxy player 5 international version (YP-G70CW). I wanted to upgrade to Gingerbread, but my attempt failed.

I put it into download mode and started up odin, trying to flash this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414565

It got stuck on "Setup connection...". I now realize it was probably because I didn't shut down the kies process running in the background (which really should be included in the guides).

nyway I tried it a few times more, but then gave up and held down the power button to exit download mode. I'm now stuck in this mode only showing a "Phone ! computer" image every time I try to restart the device, and I cannot get it back into download mode. Odin recognises the device and I didn't really flash anything onto it so I would think it would still be good?

I read somewhere else that to fix it you should take out your battery and sim card for a while and try again. The Player 5 cannot easily be opened to get to the battery though, so is there another way to get out of this mode?

I've tried looking for an answer but come short. Would really appreciate some help.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
This is also download mode...

If you flash a gingerbread kernel( I think rj's is gingerbread only?), I do not think it will boot a froyo rom. I would suggest that you flash one of the INTL ROM's(or mine) along with rj's kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] star85:

No you do not! Flash away!
[LG Optimus 2x] Kamui_:
Ok too many Custom ROMS out there and too many choices to make. But every ROM is optimized for different BB, other for V20l,other for m,q,o etc.

Everytime you need to change BB using smartflash, your Internal SD gets erased. So, you need to take the looooong backup way of your data (for me 3GB) before u do the flash.

Is there any way to flash BB without erasing anything or just the standard wipe (/system, /cache, /data)?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
You may not like this answer.

To flash a baseband without losing your (internal) SD-card contents, you just... flash it.

I've seen many people claim it erases your internal SD, I think that stems from a post over at Modaco which states it. It is not true, unless our devices magically behave differently.

If you flash an entire ROM, using the .bin file, then yes, it overwrites the internal SD. Flashing only the .fls-file, it does not. (It does erase /data however, so you need to backup anyway.)
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Yes it's very fast.. Backup in cwm, flash your bb, reboot in recovery and restore: 10 minutes job. And your internal SD is untouched.

But you know, I changed only three times my BB, in 10 months, even if I have flashed many roms, and I'm not sure I should really had to, because each time I had no problem before flashing...

My best advice is to flash the ROM you want, use your phone, and change BB only if you have real problems after a few days.

BB is 'only' a low level driver sets for radio chips, it's not a magical hidden malicious wizard.

Beats is a great brand in my opinion, and its pretty cool for them to be involved with such a great company as HTC. So how does beats work

Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using Xparent Green Tapatalk
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guru Zeb:
Are you completely sure it does work m8 ????

By beats a presume you mean Dreys Beats?? ....... *sigh*

No offence but they sell overpriced junk to clueless kids who want another 'cool' accessory to match their iphone :mad:

If you want good sound quality headphones go to a proper HiFi shop and try some Sennheisers and some other brands ......... you'll probably notice that most of the Sennheisers sound great compared to other manufacturers offerings at the same or often much higher price.

Job done :D

Please don't get sucked in by the 'Big rap name brand BS' all they sell is overpriced junk. There are proper companies who develop and sell REAL HiFi headphones, Sennheiser, BeyerDynamic, Sony, etc.

Give them your cash and get genuinely awesome sound quality rather than something that just happens to come in pink camo.

Oh yeah almost forgot if Beats on HTC does anything at all it will be nothing but a slight EQ profile change, to accentuate the characteristics of the phones.

Probably just a big dumb low freq boost so you can 'Feel da bass'. Problem is as anyone whos HiFi knowledgable will tell you an EQ really needs setting for each piece of music or at least each style ......... once you understand that you start to realize how useless such gimmicks are and learn to not trust companies behind such junk.

Dunno what HTC are getting in bed with this, maybe their marketing people think they need kid street cred.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n8hian:
The Beats thing is not what you would want in Headphones. I will always want to listen to my music without adjusting the EQ. Personally never liked the over done BASS on the headphones myself, could always find something cheaper that did a better job.

I would always want to listen to music on a iPod so i don't drain the battery of my phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guru Zeb:
Dood DO NOT Just take my word for it .... go to a decent HiFi shop with your phone or MP3 player ( i don't use my phone for mobile music never have ).

Use your own player with your own music and just listen to some different phones and see what you think. Do the same thing with some 'Cool boutique' phones and you'll see what a mean.

I can predict that Sennheisers will most likely be the best 'bang for buck' in full size cans anyways. Their in ears are good too but i don't use in ears myself as am one of those people whos ears get sore in 20mins using in ears.

Oh yeah forgot to say the best sound quality improvement on headphones for less than $20 is a of these

FiiO E5, headphone amp it sits between your player and your phones and acts as a dedicated power Amp. Its about 45x45x8mm with an LED lit on/off button, a volume rocker, and an EQ button flat (FTW), or Bass boost (meh).

They are stupid cheap (thanks to our Chinese brothers :D )

Usb rechargeable, run for about 10 hours on one charge, improve the sound stage and the mid tones amazingly well.

Also they help reduce battery drain in your phone/MP3 player as you can turn the Amp upto 80%-90% and leave it there and run your player on much lower volume like 20%-40% this can make a huge difference to battery life if (Like me) you pretty much listen to mobile music constantly when your outta the house. Get them for peanuts on ebay they really are awesome. FiiO also make a bunch of others models waaay more sophisticated than the E5 i have, but it only cost me $15. Best mobile music accessory i have ever bought, and i've been a mobile audiophile since the 80's!!!!

What Guru Zeb said. It's all a load of gimmicky rubbish designed to part you from your cash.

If you want good audio fidelity it would be wise to invest in Headphones from a company that has been making them for over fifty years. You wouldn't buy a car made by Zanussi after all, although you might have a washing machine from them!

Stick to the known manufacturers like Sennheiser and you can't go wrong.

Curious as to why you need bass down to such a low level, since that's pretty much just moving air at that kind of frequency... I don't really think you would hear any difference tbh, unless I'm missing something

In large speakers yes its just moving air... but have you felt 5Hz in headphones?? Not only does the bass sound richer and deeper but idk the rest of you but I like the feeling of the bass as well and with 5hz you CAN feel it lol

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hefonthefjords:
You are right, humans cannot hear 5hz, but that is not the reason for wanting to have cans that can reproduce such low frequencies.

The real reason you want cans or speakers in general for that matter to be able to reproduce frequencies way out of our hearing range is to allow for the rollofs at the limitations of a driver. Every speaker has a limited range of frequencies that it can reproduce, usually some range between 20hz and 20,000hz, but there is a difference between what is "reproduceable" by a driver and what is "useful" in that range of frequencies. As you reach the upper and lower ends of that range you are actually reaching the physical limitations of the mechanical features of the speaker which means that there are variances in the frequency response that reault in what is called a "rolloff" or drop in the output of the speaker at specific frequencies. For example if you have a set of cans that respond fron 20 to 20k as previously described, when tested with measuring equipment you will find that when you reach up around 15k or 16k you will stat to get a drop off in response resulting in decreased volume from those frequencies due to losses within the mechanical reproduction of the audio, say for example a drop of 3db/octave beyond 15khz. While the speakers may still do something, "respond", when you supply them with a 20khz tone, the tone may be very much quieter than a useful volume for music reproduction purposes.

If the response range of the speakers advances a ways past the range of frequencies audible to humans you will find that the response within those audible frequencies will be stro.g at the far low and far high extremes of the range because the driver is not working at the edges of its mechanical limitations. Less energy is wasted as heat because the driver operates more efficiently within the useful range that it is intended for. So while you may not be ae to hear that extra 15 thousand hertz your speakers can produce above 20khz, its purpose is not to be audible, its purpose is to improve the linearity of the response of the audible frequency range.

Now, back to the topic, since im a sound engineer by profession and obviously audio actually matters as a feature to me, what does "with beats audio" actually entail in practice and can it be turned the **** off? I have a funny feeling i might buy the htc one x and i want to be sure that this "beays audio" nonsense isnt gonna actually ruin the audio playback for me as its basically mission critical. As long as it can be completely disabled so it has no effect on playback i will be satisfied.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
NEEDZ MOAR BASSSSS!!!

To answer your question, it's nothing more than a branded EQ and I'd imagine it's just an apk that can be uninstalled or frozen with titanium backup or equivalent app....

The fact that it's nothing more than a gimmick which allows them to slap a sticker on the box and lure in teenagers who enjoying playing Rihanna songs at full volume on their phone in public, makes me think that it will not be so deeply integrated that it's difficult to remove.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hefonthefjords:
Thats exactly what i was hoping.

I discovered after a little reading that the reason htc have gotten involved in the beats audio gimmick is that beats electronics inc. invested $300million in htc. Kinda hard not to slap the logo on for that much money in what is arguably hard times for htc.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enonoid:
Beats audio..

Beats audio.

what i think ( and tested ) not the headphones.

But beats audio on your phone has very little to do with the hardware. and no special hardware inside the phone is required.

(ie flashing sense 4 rom with beats support wil work on a desire HD)

Now let me be bold to say that the software "beats audio' is nothing more than a "soft" DSP.

Copanies like SonicFocus / DTS / and Dolby have ben in this for ages and doing asuperb job at it.

Call it EQ, call it an algorithm.

Beats is in fact an algorithm that boost the dynamics, dep bass, brilliance, and solo clarity of the sound.

Creative > crystaliser

SoundMax > Sonic Focus

And i do have to say that with the "beats audio" enabled it does sound bigger and more clear.

But is it still safe to say that with compression of mp3s or even streamed music the quality of the sound could get just a little dull.

( at least that is what I notice )

Not thats where the DSP comes in, may it be beats, sonic focus, or whatever. I think on a mobile device playing mp3/streamed audio it does enhance the sound.

conclusion.

its a soft DSP, with its own fancy name and logo. A DSP that should be in that device anyway.

A nice marketing gimmick.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groostav:
This is exactly right.

The numbers relating to audio that are posted on headphone and speaker boxes are a mess, they all proudly proclaim 20-20k, but realistically they're defining an edge on a smooth curve. The point you made about linear amplification bears to be repeated: the phone is going to contain the driving amp, and the ideal amp would produce a square wave at your nominal impedance, where the amplifier will simply not push any frequency below the lower bound, then push exactly X dB at each frequency for the entire supported frequency range, sharply dropping off again to never push any signal above the upper frequency bound.

The actual bounding values that the amplifier covers are irrelevant because the physical limitations on what frequencies silicon can push are far outside of your audible hearing range (no you cant hear 20Hz, I know your science 8 teacher told you you could but he lied, you have superb hearing if you can hear 30Hz, furthermore none of my music produces sounds above 16KHz).

And that's only speaking to frequency response, which, while arguably the most important characteristic of an amplifier, is certainly not the only one.

Somebody before this post suggested getting a Fiio E5 headphone amp, I've used one of those and they really do help if your trying to drive 100 Ohm+ headphones, which almost no ear buds are. If your wandering around with Senny 600s or AT 900s you might need such an amp, but for the most part the amp built in to the phone should suffice.

I hope the thing that a "beats [certified amp]" means is that for some given load (read: headphones to drive) the amp must produce a reasonably constant dB / frequency curve. But looking at beatsbydre.com/beatsaudio/Beats%20Audio,default,sc.html, it really does just look like yo dawg, this stuffs dope, we promise.

as per Enonoid, I'm wondering if its just software and/or a DSP. I haven't used any beats audio stuff before so I cant speak to it, but the "Crystalizer" feature on modern X-Fi stuff is actually kind've nifty. Its claim is that intrinsically its very difficult to encode percussion, and so when decoding you should have filters that smartly look for percussion and attempt to create the true audio-spikes they entail, rather than the wash they frequently get encoded as. Its a novel concept, and I'd even be willing to argue it adds something to the sound, and if beats is just something similar, I guess I'm on board, as long as it isn't simply slanting an EQ to boost everything below 500Hz.
[HTC EVO 3D] lanhikari3113:
I wish I didn't have such a perfectionist mind and be crazy about the smallest imperfections, but really HTC, you need to get your **** together. I upgraded to the Evo3D because I had replaced my Evo4G screen 2 times already because of issues with dust and had my hopes very high that by upgrading to the 3D I might finally be able to avoid the problem. Little did I know, I was mistaken. I lurked for many days for some insight into the whole dust situation before even buying the Evo3D and could only find rare occurences so I figured I should be fine. 2 Months later I have one spec of dust. I said okay, its small enough that maybe I can let this one go, but then today I noticed 5 pieces total. This is a quality control issue and I have tried going to the repair center for sprint and they said it was not covered under the TEP plan. What bull****, and HTC wont fix it either. I'm in no mood to fight this issue with them again that this is a manufacturing defect so I decided I'm going to leave the HTC scene. I really regret to even resort to this but I'm very heavily contemplating an iPhone 4, mainly because of the build quality, and the fact that the screens are all on top of one another, there are no open spaces between any of the sheets of glass, therefore there is no room for dust to squeeze its way in there.

If anyone has any way to get the dust out before I jump ship, or rip my head off, please give me some insight. I really love the android community, and it's been very good to me. Thanks in advance.
