Where does it say that it wont work with any headset. Beats is simply a sound enhancement, nothing more. Why would it have to be a specific "Beats by dre" headset, beats headphones are not gonna send a special signal saying whether its beats headphones or not. Im pretty sure when most headphones are plugged in the beats logo and sound enhancements will activate because it knows you have headphones in. The beats by dre I installed on my mytouch4g slide turned on anytime I put a headphone jack in, or anytime i plugged into the car via standard audio jack. It did not work over bluetooth, It did not work with the s4a headphones.

Mailed HTC

Hi guys,

this is my first post here, I've been following the thread for a while now and was really wondering about the beats headphones and etc. I preordered one myself and started looking for info about it and came to find this site. I sent HTC a mail and asked about some stuff and this is their reply. I've found the thread really helpful so I wanted to perhaps help a bit myself. The reply is for HTC Sweden don't know if that matters.

1. the native music player does not support FLAC

2. It's still unclear if beats headphones will be included

3. The beats audio is designed for Beats headphones. Normal headphones will not create problem but the sound is optimized for Beats audio

4. The device supports all bitrates as long as the format can handle it

I revised their answer, this is basically what they said.
[HTC One X] hopscotchjunkie:
The text on that page refers to the Sensation XL, so I assume that line about not activating the Beats profile does also. It's already been stated that the Beats enhancement in the One series will work with any headset.

The NB note under 'key features' on the page he linked to. But, like I say, that seems to be referring to the Sensation XL rather than the One X.
[HTC One X] MancUK:
After registering with Phones4U (UK) they called me today to offer me the One X. I asked if it came with Beats Audio Headphones in the box & they said yes it does. Their offer was on Orange & not Vodafone so nothing to do with that offer.

Manc.
[HTC One X] tomqman:
the vodaphone feature video also says it comes with urbeats .
[HTC One X] fastphil:
just spoke to three regarding my phone & been told does come with Beats headset in the box could not tell me which ones but definitely comes with a pair;)
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Three mobile blog mentions that it will come with beats headphones.

But then, it also says only white available but I got offered the grey when I called to upgrade.

So.... dodgy. Guess we'll see when time comes. The flat HTC handsfree set looks good too.

Although common sense dictates that you put in a set for your flagship phone especially when you have that annoying red logo on the back cover of it.
[HTC One X] w1nter456:
Guys, htc headset does not work with beats audio. "beats audio will not activated through htc headset"
[HTC One X] gatorrph:
I can't believe adults are complaining that HTC won't supply "free" headphones because they only cost €30. Grow up! There are no "free" lunches period. If they are included with every purchase then every buyer is paying for them even if they will never use them and that's a cold hard fact. My wife would never use them because she is tone deaf and won't listen to music on the phone. I will never use them because I have shure's that are far superior to any "free" buds. Why should we be forced into to paying extra so fools can childishly think they have gotten something for nothing. Do you think HTC (or any for profit company) is in love with you personally? Why would they give you anything free? It's just plain silly.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
They ain't 'free', they are included in a £500 package.

HTC own beats, so should supply their own earphones - period!

Especially when HTC promote & advertise beats audio ALOT, yet refuse to supply their own product.
[HTC One X] tsleng:
For sure it ain't free. But it would not cost them a lot to put it in. Very small % of the phone price actually. We are talking about a flagship phone here with beats audio logo plastered behind it. Why not give the hardware to go with the software? (maybe without, it will actually make suckers go buy a pair instead :p, hmm..)

As for not wanting them because you already got a pair of better ones, well that is subjective.

I have my own in-ears at the moment and I always think beats are image>sound. But I would still like to have it. I can sell it. I can try it and maybe I will like it. I can give it to someone who will appreciate it... etc
[HTC One X] Tolcantor:
Hello,

I received the HTC One X this morning, and I confirm that the in-ears Beats are not included in some packages. So, I'm a little disappointed, but the phone is great ;)
[HTC One X] 420kushking:
I am going to be very angry if the beats audio profile does not enable with any headphones. That would be ridiculous, whats the point of having a nice sound enhancement software that doesn't enhance the sound for any headphones.

Here is an advertisement quote directly from HTC website:

"Sound on your HTC phone is worth bragging about. With Beats Audio™, listening is truly different. Whether playing music or games, watching movies or videos, or your in-car experience, you get rich, authentic sound. Plus with our integrated music experience, easily access all your music libraries, favorite audio apps and internet radio simultaneously from one convenient location."

This would lead me to believe that the beats audio profile will activate with any headset. If not I would say this is a false advertisement, especially if the phone doesn't come with beats capable headphones. I expect the beats audio to work over the new media link HD as well.
[HTC One X] jameslfc5:
Can phones4u ever be believed?
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
No,

Going off recent unboxing videos, it comes with really cheap earphones.

Very disappointed, they look like pound-shop specials!
[HTC One X] panavision:
Guys, just saw a unboxing from france, no beats... not even any in-ears... only good part is that there is tangle free cords...cheap by HTC

I can't post any links because i'm new but search for htc one x unboxing by htchub on youtube
[HTC One X] jameslfc5:
Exactly, I would never trust Phones4u they get far too much commission!

And I have seen them and you're not wrong :/ loos like the **** that Apple provide (altho probably slightly better) either way, mine aren't getting taken out of the packet and I am sticking to my ZAGGs or Phonaks
[HTC One X] jaspabt:
"Beats" works throughout the device and does not require "Beats" headphones to work. (This is new to the One devices)

Has anyone used the headphones to comment on whether they are actually rubbish or not? Not wanting to be argumentative on my second post but I doubt HTC would provide really poor headphones, as this would defeat the "Beats" element of the phone providing superior sound.

No doubt reviews will start piling up now and this will be covered, unless its been covered by one of the French posts on Youtube, no-one can really comment on the quality of the headphones. :eek:
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Not all that bothered if the phone doesn't come with Beats headphones as I would have put them straight on eBay anyway. What would bother me a bit though is if some people get Beats and some people get nothing. I ordered my One X today with Three UK and they did mention what came in the box and there was no mention of headphones. I guess I'll see whenever it arrives and I'll let you know.

Beats is a great marketing tool and I'm sure it combined with better than the usual terrible headphones most manufacturers supply make for a better sound compared the the average but I already have good headphones.

On my current Desire I found the DSP Manager in CM7 to work well, basically working like the audio processing heard on radio stations. I am sure it would be looked down on by audiophiles but in a noisy environment it worked well.

Looking forward to seeing what the phone is like anyway, and if it's received early, then all the better :)
[HTC One X] jameslfc5:
If any of you want good earphones, get these...

[HTC One X] THFourteen:
Not sure why many people wanted beats so desperately anyway. I have a pair of vmoda remix remotes which are ace, and a pair of sennheiser apt-x Bluetooth headphones which I can't wait to pair with this phone as I think it supports apt-x.

Beats aren't great and looking on eBay the cheap phone model of beats seem to go for £25-30 which after eBay fees is hardly anything.
[HTC One X] sinsnowman:
Hi guys here comes the nightmare.......the unboxing vid confirms what the topic says....some with beats and some DO NOT. Check 2:50 in this vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FEM2fqhxAIY
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
Until I see an unboxing vid with Beats headphones in it, I'm not so sure any come with Beats headphones.

I know people have been told that they do by salespeople for certain companies selling the handset, but in my experience salespeople will often lie if it means a sale, especially as the phone says 'Beats' on the back they probably think that counts as the truth!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
well vodafone confirmed them included am i correct?

i have a feeling they will include them later and only the early adopters are getting hit

we are testing waters
[HTC One X] leventccc:
Here is an unboxing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEM2fqhxAIY
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
Afaik Vodafone have ordered 10,000 pairs specially for the first 10,000 orders. My guess is anyone ordering from Vodafone after that will just get the standard flat cord HTC earbuds.
[HTC One X] sinsnowman:
Can you try not to post sth already posted 3 posts before you do? :p
[HTC One X] alexd83:
It is a shame when you see that they sell this for 17 €
[HTC One X] sylau90:
true...but I think it is a shame, they are not even giving us this 17euro headphone, but a cheaper one...from the unboxing video,the headset is no way like this one.
[HTC One X] alexd83:
Yeap ,

That's what I meant. They have in ear they sell 17 € , they could at least provide these ones in the package of a 600 € phone... Instead, we have basic and ugly headset...

[HTC One X] djolebih:
The regular package does NOT come with beats headphones. One X Premium comes with urBeats.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Actually, one x premium comes with beats solo headphones.

A few UK suppliers (carphone warehouse/phones4u/dialaphone) are saying it comes with beats earphones (ibeats/urbeats) as standard. (whether they are right or wrong is to be seen, but that's what they are saying)
[HTC One X] jameslfc5:
When have carphone warehouse said that? :)
[HTC One X] witek_77:
I have ONE X :) But no beats headphones :(
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
They phoned me out-the-blue today,

Said it comes with beats earphones aswell as beats hardware.

I asked if she was sure, she put me on hold & came back to say it does, she mentioned ibeats/urbeats.

Now, are they guessing or does it really?

.... Only time will tell.
[HTC One X] jameslfc5:
Hopefully it does because I'm buying mine from them :)
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
make a record of the call.. then if it turns out otherwise, force them to give it to u.. at least u will be one of the few who will get beats then..

cant think of any other way to get beats since im pretty sure everyone is shipping with normal earphones...

---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

i think HTC lied big time here...
[HTC One X] 420kushking:
I think I would agree. How could they put a Beats logo on the back of your phone, and not even ship with a beats headset? I personally care more about the equalizer capabilities of beats, versus the actual headphones... I just think its wrong to advertise like as if it was a beats package, but really its just an equalizer on your phone. Whatever man I was gonna sell the beats headphones anyways. This beats headphones stuff is just a trend that will die out shortly, they are low quality headphones despite their price.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
Rooted, clockwork mod recovery.

After I finish a call and pull the phone away from my face, the screen takes a bit to come back on so that I can end the call.

Is there a way to fix this? I'm gonna try a certain build.prop edit and I'll post back if it works.

Also, whats up with the display taking its sweet time to come on after pressing the power button to wake up the phone? Is there a fix for this? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
Pull our your SD card and the screen will come back fast.

There is something wrong with the SD card, same thing when you try to wake up the phone with the power button, takes a second to turn on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
Thanks.

Well, that just seems peculiar. First Ive ever experienced that with my many android phones. Hmmm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
Yea, same here, I hope they fix it. Never had this problem with my HTC phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
That is the oddest thing. I never actually knew about that fix. Works amazingly well oddly enough.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
Yeah but...you gotta have an sd card. Well, I do anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radrian92:
So there isn't any other way around this? I tired it without the card and it does work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud007:
I was wondering if there was any way to stop the camera app from being retarded and taking pictures in landscape mode. To see what I mean, take a few pics, email them to yourself, download them.

Guessing Samsung is trying to be fancy by using EXIF data to store the pics orientation. Thats cute but I need the photos to actually be in their original orientation, not a lil EXIF tag that says "oh yeah this should be switched around vertically".

Am rooted and would prefer to simply replace the Camera app as opposed to testing out tons of ROMs. This is a work phone so keeping it as vanilla as possible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VS1212:
Hello, I got the same problem , i would like to know if you find a workaround ?

that's very annoying when sending MMS...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Try third party apps

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VS1212:
it appears to work with third party apps like instagram , FX camera ...but not with camera ICS.

but none of this apps are as fast as the original photo app..

besides , the problem appears only when i send a photo by mail or MMS.

The gallery don't seem to use the exif data and the orientation is fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Before sending pics via mail, use any photo editor app to change the orientation.

Done

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VS1212:
You can rotate the photo in the gallery but that don't change the exif data .3 party apps works and can rotate the photos but that's only a workaround and it is very slow .

The problem appears when i flash cyanogen CM9.1.0 because it seems that the ROM use the exif data with MMS or mail.

With stock samsung ICS , photo orientation was fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud007:
Im sorry but rotating images before sending is not an option. This is for work where photos are sent in batches of 5 and as many as 20-30 batches are sent everyday. Doing anything manually is simply not a feasible workaround.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bionicgrape:
I'm not new to modding at all, and don't need any technical help. I have been using a stock G2x since it came out and I've decided it's time for an upgrade. I noticed that there are quite a few roms for the G2x (18 listed in the "All roms," thread), and several of them look very well done. I'd like to know which one you think is the best, and why. Very technical answers are fine with me. The things I look for most in a rom are reliability, speed, and battery life. Flashy graphics are nice, but not my key concern. Thanks in advance for your input!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
right now there are ICS roms and GingerBread roms. I'd suggest that you pick a GB rom since you mentioned reliability in your concerns. I'd start out by trying with CM7, then EaglesBlood's, thn hellFire Phoenix's. Those are the best GB roms imo. And the only most stable (non of the ICS rom is stable yet) ICS rom is HellFire Sandwich
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bg1906:
I use Weapon G2x 3.0 R1 with Faux SV Kernel and Mixer Theme. I use it because its based on stock and doesn't have any issues. The Faux Kernel always me to OC to 1.2 without any issues and Mixer Theme just makes it look that much more fantastic. Its Awesome!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bionicgrape:
I'll probably wind up sticking with a GB rom until ICS becomes more stable unless someone reports one that works incredibly well. It's my only phone and I use a lot of its functionality for business or recording video/pictures, so it would be terrible if I had usability issues. Thanks for the input, this is exactly the type of info I'm looking for!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bionicgrape:
Thanks! I should have also asked which kernel people are using (and why). Themes are great, but I'll wait until I figure out which rom I'm going to use and then just track down a theme that's compatible with it.

Gah!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] te_quiero_forever_girl:
If video recording is one of ur main concerns, then stay away from any ICS roms. None of them have properly working camcorder atm.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Or reliable video decoding.

But, I use Bionix Reloaded v1.4 It works very smoothly, is based off of OTA 2.3.3, and the battery life is superb. Coupled with Faux's kernel, its a dream. Are you looking for stability and battery life, or performance and customization?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wizshaw:
WHat about the ICS roms... I want to know what people think about the hellfire rom and the eagles blood ics stuff. Im running eagles blood... but want some feedback on the other stuff out there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Okay, really no one is going to have the same opinion as you. Try them out for yourself and you will probably like one better than what anyone will recommend to you.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

Hellfire Sandwich has video decoding pretty reliable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bionicgrape:
A good mix of them stability and battery life are the most important, but performance is also a big issue since I run several processor intensive apps on a regular basis. As long as the performance is at least as good as stock, then I'll be happy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Well customization on OTA is pretty limited, besides different themes on GoLauncher or similar apps. But on the plus side, best battery life by far. Just uninstall apps you don't use like Wi-Fi calling, My Account, etc., and use a replacement apps for the Gallery (Don't know why is wastes battery, but it does. I suggest QuickPic).

Also, for better performance, use a kernel like Faux's that allows Overclocking for better performance, and undervolting for better battery life. Here's a benchmark so you get an idea of the performance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I am very happy with New Clip. Kwes also has a very nice "ICS like" theme that is terrific. I combined that with ADW ex and an ICS theme for it and I am set.

Everything runs flawlessly. GPS is very quick to lock. Never reboots. WiFi calling works. Blue tooth is perfect. Excellent battery life. It does everything I need a phone to do, plus it is ultra reliable. That is important if you use your phone for business. I can't afford dropped calls, lock ups, or reboots in the middle of an important call with a client.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bsong:
Eagle's Blood

I put Eagle's Blood GB 2.3.7 on my son's G2X and it has been perfect for several days now. We both are dumbfounded at how long the battery lasts. He forgot to charge it the other night and at the end of two days it looked like he was only about halfway through the battery. Granted, he's at work for 9 hours a day and can't use the phone much there, but that's still pretty amazing to me. I'm on a Sensation and can't get through one day on my battery.

I put Hellfire Sandwich on his phone first, and while it was beautifully done he was having some stability issues (random reboots, overheating) which is why I flashed a new rom in the first place. Since it's his phone I didn't bother with trying to find or fix what may have been causing the issues on HFS.

Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I'm using Bionix with Faux. Best there is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
I wanna switch to ICS but its not stable yet. I hope next built is gonna be better....waking up to random FCs is not fun :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bionicgrape:
So far, [NIGHTLY] CM7 is leading in the polls, and all of the answers have been very helpful. I think I'll try out several of the suggestions. How much of a difference is there in the different kernels that have been recommended?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booch137:
So do you actually uninstall the gallery then?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adeptustech:
ics?

yet that is what everyone is working on right now. so just be patient camera & video will be working just as good as gingerbread's camera & video.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xfire68:
I could not get any of the ROM's to work with internet or MMS until I flashed Weapon's ROM and used the Stock MMS that he included on the ROM thread. I am also running the G2x-FR/GB[2.6.32.9] Kernal OC@1250 and it's running great. Many thanks to the Weapon's dev's!

Not sure if it because I am using Simple Mobile or not but I could not get any of the other ROM's to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Are you clean flashing? And also since you like Weapon you could try the New Clip add on

Best Rom for LG G2X

Ive tried all the roms listed and not one of them has a fully function version, most have real

Glitchly or features that just dont work at all. I stumbled across this one by mistake. its ultimate g2x 1.0 based on android 2.2, I use it with go launcher ex. No crashes, no glitches, full camera options and video, which alot roms the camera either doesnt work at all, or it striped and not worth using.Only complaint battery life has a bit to be desired, but for speed,stablity,functions,i will take a little hit on the battery side.

I disagree with alot there about other roms and the camera talk cause I feel 2.3.3 or cm7 camera are just as good as 2.2 froyo camera in fact a lot less lag in them as well. But, the ultimate g2x Tom is a great rom definitely used to be my goto until cm7 got good and really customizable.

I prefer CM7 nightly or a variation close to it. As someone who works in the software industry & developed other ROMs & kernels, I can tell you more eyes on the code being commited is better for quality & stability.
