lol, you have no idea how NFC works do you?

The NFC is NOT built into the battery, Its a part of the main-board and Snapdragon architecture

see pics here:

http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/63911416-post3899.html

this is simple.

you either buy the Korean Model (not recommended)

or you buy the LTE Snapdragon model

or you live without NFC and buy the N7000 (Exynos chipset) International version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
I gotta ask, what exactly are you guys using nfc for? Trying to figure out the hype. Please be as detailed as possible.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xalies:
What the heck does the NFC battery do since the "NFC enabled" ones have the the extra connections for the anntena
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kotaro_14:
Basically:

-You can store your information like for say your credit card info on your phone and if you find a NFC enabled payment device like seen in Toys R Us or Best Buy you can just scan your phone instead of having to pull out your card all the time. This replaces your card entirely.

-Android Beam: Let's you exchange information by putting two phones with NFC in them to exchange info like videos, pictures, links, and making payments(It's not made yet, but probably in the future).

These two are the only uses I could think up of right now that is right now available in the U.S. In other countries you can use them as bus passes too like in South Korea.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Android Beam only works in ICS at the moment..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] biscuitlad:

I know what I want to use it for in the future - context sensitive app launchers!

Sony is going to push this hard - look for sony nfc smart tags on Amazon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xstop:
Are you guys really that comfortable to store all that personal information on a smartphone?

Maybe later for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] FRlTZ:
Well, If your using the Android pattern lock you should be safe, as even FBI can't break it :P

The NFC ready battery I think is that it has a NFC antenna, the chip is on the phone itself I believe...

Correct me if I'm wrong..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xstop:
LOL

I'm sure when NFC is ready for prime time the note 2 maybe 3 will be out already.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamranki:
Hello all,

I purchased Galaxy S2 last year in June in United Arab Emirates and have had following firmware:

PDA:KE2

PHONE: KE1

CSC: KE1 (ARB)

Kies still shows no updates for my device.

It is Gingerbread 2.3.3. It does not support Arabic (all Arabic text appears as blocks) even though it should.

It is not a carrier branded version. It is available in the country through only 1 official Samsung distrubutor. My friends who purchased the phone much later have different firmwares on their devices and have proper Arabic support and have had their phones updated through Kies few times.

What I feel is that there are different series of Galaxy S2 devices released in the country havind different firmware series. I purchased my device the very first day it was released here (pre-ordered).

I think that there are newer firmware updates for my device though I can not understand exactly which ones will work with my device. I am wondering why no updates have been made available on Kies.

Can anyone guide me to the exact firmware updates for my device (all 3 part; PDA, PHONE and CSC). Gingerbread 2.3.5 would be preferred. Or should I wait for Android ICS 4?

Thanks very much!

Make sure you have a I9100 version of the phone the Read this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Learn how easy it is flashing firmware with Odin and find a good late version firmware to your liking. Then flash it.

You can flash your csc also to keep that if you need it. Carrier specific Stuff.

Also you can flash modems to see what gives you the best reception etc.

After you have done this kies will probably not work for updates anymore but you can download an app called checkfus from the market to check your carrier/region updates.

Hope this helps.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Starfury:
Just wondering something, when the marketplace says "This application is not available for your device. Press here for more info" pressing i gets you this:

"Application not available - This might be because your phone software needs to be updated, the application is exclusive to a different mobile provider, or the app is not available in your region"

Is the mechanism to determine this via an online check with Microsoft and the Marketplace or is there a registry setting, etc?

Additionally would there be anyway of putting a 'cheat' in place so that the marketplace app always gets told "yes you can install this"?

Cheers

If you edit the registry you can spoof being any device, correct? The obvious plus is to spoof being a Nokia Lumia 800 since you get Drive, Maps, ESPN and other Nokia things. They are pretty much the lead OEM on the platform with HTC and Sammy more interested in Android devices.

So really is there any downside to reg editing an HD2 to be a Lumia 800?

Impressions of a guy upgrading his PC rig

from

PC > PC sound card Creative XFI Xtreme Music (i.e. not a stock PC card!) > headphone Audio-Technica ATH-AD700

to

PC > USB DAC/amp FiiO E17 > headphone Audio- Technica ATH-AD700:

"Anyway, I got on to a lot of forums and found HeadFi (Yes, say goodbye to your wallet!). Never fully understood the world of Dac's and Amp's I started my research!

I searched the forum's and felt there was a few people in the same position as me who were feeling unsure about an alternative to PC sound card's, so I decide to the plunge!

Yes I could have grabbed an Asus ST/STX or Creative Tit HD but I wanted to go a different direction, so I went with the Fiio E17.

Conclusion: Done the whole unboxing and setup that everyone has probably seen, plugged her in to the computer and ran it through her paces!

I listen to various music from Classical, Rock, Pop, electronic, using mainly FLAC files.

Sound quality compared to the Xtreme Music was overall a big improvement!

The sound was full and warm! I immediately felt like I was listening to (what I describe as) a high end Hifi system!

It's very reassuring as I come from a Creative product to something totally different as in the Fiio and be in awe about what I'm hearing.

The Fiio sounds like a professional athlete compared to say an amateur running a marathon, well paced full of energy and doing what it loves doing, where as the Creative was more like a weekend warrior!"

About digital audio

A digital audio system is composed of:

. A storage module: Music is stored in file as a series of bits 0 & 1 with different encoding formats (MP3, WAV, FLAC…).

. A player: The player decodes the bits 0 & 1 to PCM digital audio signals.

. A DAC (Digital to Analog Converter): The DAC converts the PCM digital audio signals to the original analog audio signals.

. An amplifier: The amplifier amplifies the analog audio signals.

. A speaker: The speaker restitutes the music.

Like a PC or a Mac, an Android device is a digital audio system.

An Android device running on a kernel with a USB audio driver, like a PC or a Mac, can output the PCM digital audio stream to an external standard USB DAC & amplifier & headphone, much more efficient than the internal DAC & amplifier & speakerphone.

[Gen9, Gen10 General] danba:
"Here is an update for all audiophiles who are interested in this topic:

The Android 4.0.4 update fixed the USB DAC issue with the 101 G9. The USB DAC is now available, and audio playback goes to the external DAC when connected.

Please note the following restrictions:

(1) USB audio playback shows some glitches (for example, during network access, harddisk access, high CPU load). I even observed some pitching under CPU load. But it generally works, best performance is with local file access. As expected, audio quality via external DAC is a lot better than the internal headphone connector (which - to my ears - sounds remarkably bad, even my old Nokia phone sounds significantly better).

(2) The USB DAC works at the USB host connector only. It does not work at the 3G USB port - while a harddisk does work at the 3G port. This means that you can listen to the USB DAC only for as long as the battery is up. You need to disconnect the DAC while charging.

Alternatively, you need to get the 101 version with internal harddisk - as this is supposed to have a dedicated power supply connector."

A method to remove "pops" and "clicks":

http://www.head-fi.org/t/592076/iba...ssions-apps-imgs-video-pg-1/4335#post_8294313

"OK listen up folks.......the pops and clicks on the [Android powered iBasso] DX100 has continuously bugged me and experimenting for the last couple of hours I have managed to totally eliminate them even on shutting down and switching the screen on!!!

This will only work for people who have installed the GO Launcher EX​, hurry up and install it!!!

On this launcher when you press the apps page, it has three menus on the top....ALL - RECENT - RUNNING.

Swipe to the RUNNING page on the right and you will see a list of running apps. All these apps are utilizing memory and battery which is better served for the music player especially playing 24/96 and 26/192 whose memory utilization is huge.

On each individual app, press and hold, and 4 options come up........press LOCK. This will lock up the app. indefinitely until you need the app. in which case you unlock it and use it normally. When you have locked the apps. up, even after reboot they are still locked - so not necessary to repeat this process.

Make doubly sure that apps. like google play is locked and anything related is a major culprit! Once you have locked all the apps besides the stock music player, the DX100 will be pop free!!!.

If you do hear a pop again, go to the Running page and you should see a new app. that has just opened itself.......LOCK it. After you have performed the above, look forward to enjoying a pop free musical experience!!!

The difference between locking and closing the app. is after you have closed the app. it will open itself again after a period of time and therefore the pops and clicks appearing again. The stock browser does not allow you to lock apps. hence, the necessity to install the GO Launcher EX

As a side note, once every app. is locked, the quality of the player seems to have improved as well with even better separation and soundstaging!

Have fun all and here's to no more clicks and pops"

USB DACS that work with Archos 80 G9 Turbo

This is a copy of my recent post on the Archos fans forum.

I have just bought a G9 80 16gb Turbo from Amazon to take with me to my holiday place with the intention of using it with a USB DAC/Headphone amp.

I immediately upgraded the firmware to 4.0.7.

I have 4 DACs and amazingly they all work but all have the crackle/spitting when playing back (using standard music player).

The supplied cable does not work, had to buy an OTG cable from ebay.

The DACs are:

Linn Oktal - reported by the Archos as Burr Brown 2902

Linn Numeric - also reported as Burr Brown 2902 (this was a surprise as its at least 15 years old)

Both the Linn DACs were used using a Chinese USB to Coax converter.

Aune X1 Mini DAC/Headphone amp - reported as Burr Brown 2707

Muse Mini USD DAC - reported as Burr Brown 2704

With the Aune the Archos freezes if I boot up with the DAC connected and on, I have not had chance to try this with the others.

The crackling/spitting seems to coincide with CPU activity, its really noticeable when play starts but then settles down. I have not had chance to test video yet.

This is a real shame as it sounds pretty good otherwise, and I have a Linn Majik DS as a comparison.

This is using music transferred to the internal storage.

I tried to stream music from my server to the Archos using PlugPlayer but no luck, the music seemed to be recieved but alas not sound.

You have to turn upnp on for the Archos to be seen as a renderer.

Hope this info is of use, and if anyone can offer suggestions to eliminate the crackles it would be much appreciated.

I can add the Behringer UCA22 to the working list.

Still have not cracked the glitches/crackles yet, just going to try Go Launcher.
