[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itsallsubliminal:
I'm taking the plunge for better buds because i recently started commuting via train to work and want some better sound than my $20 Samsung EHS60's give me. As i said before my gf is buying me a $100 gift and I'm deciding on earbuds. I don't want to pay more out of my pocket because I'm not sure how long I'll actually be utilizing them frequently.

So here is what i need:

1. I listen to a lot of reggae, funk, and bands like Rage Against the Machine. I'm guessing i need good lows n mids? I'm not a big techno or rap fan, but i like "feeling" deep bass riffs.

2. I definitely need an inline Mic

3. I like the In-my-head sound. Not so much the live concert hall sound.

I was so close to buying the klipsch s4a's, but upon reviews, they haven't been updated to work with ICS for over 4 months now and majority reviews claim constant echo via the Mic during calls. Its a shame because the reviews say the sound is amazing for buds under $100 and they sound like 2-300 dollar competitors.

What can you or anyone else suggest for me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itsallsubliminal:
I wish that jay app worked with ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itsallsubliminal:
so i bit the bullet and got the s4i's... yes the i... i didnt need the vol controls, just answer/end, and the s4a's were getting reviews of echo with the mic. Main reason was they were 59.99 from my work and cost (which i can only buy at one day a month) was $54. The s4a was $25 more... meh.

Verdict: I am in no way an audiophile, but man, these things may turn me into one! There are some effects in songs that i never new existed! Bass sounds bold and solid, while mids and highs sound VERY clear. Complete 180 from what i'm used to with the samsung ehs60's (which i've found out are the oem in-box buds with the galaxy tab 10.1 :( )... and the mic works great!

I will be holding on to these until they crumble... and then, i'll definitely be looking into a High-End set!

Seriously, wow, its amazing what $60 can do to music! I haven't even dropped mp3's onto my phone, all this improvement is COMPLETELY noticeable even using Pandora!

Anyone have any recommendations for HD Streaming? Not sure if Spotify is HD, but I don't like that you have to use facebook to signup... boo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
just make a random account if you want on facebook. well thats what i did for my father. then in the spotify pc application, you can disconnect from facebook.

as for hd streaming, the beta spotify 'preview' has an option for Normal, High, and Extreme. its a great app but you can only stream on mobile if you subscribe. :( the windows app does allow all music tho. with ads. ive had spotify for a couple months. still not sure its quite worth 10 month, but i still like it. wish it was more like 3 a month.

im happy with the s4i's for now but _metalhead_ has me drooling for some of his recommendations. im curious now! soon i will hear like you hear.. saving up and thanks for throwing those out there.

EDIT: as far as Jays app on ics ... i havent left gb because of that and a couple other little tweaks. i use my phone more as my all around music player more than anything because i always have it.

EDIT2: Audiogalaxy is my favorite. it streams all 50,000 of my tracks on my pc at home to the phone. flawlessly. i dont even get skips on 3g. no lie. and i use it for hours. free too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itsallsubliminal:
thanks, i'll definitely look into the preview and making a random fb account. I too wish it weren't 10/month. I was considering grooveshark cuz i remembered it was 3.99, and all of a sudden BAM 10/month... boo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
dont know if you saw my edits in the last post but audiogalaxy is really cool. thats if you have a large collection on your pc though. just read the description and reviews in the store. i cant praise it enough but im constantly expanding my library
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itsallsubliminal:
yup saw your edits, but i just shifted to a business-line ultra book and invested in a 128gb SSD (Couldn't be happier) and never really had a large, or organized collection of music anyways. i've decided to go the streaming route.

But i will definitely keep audiogalaxy in mind if i decide to snag a desktop for the house :) thanks bro

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] clay21:
Hi,here is a fix that i found for those who have the no sound problem on ICS roms ;)

1)modify your build.prop and change GT-I9000 to SGH-I9000.

2) Boot into Recovery and fix permissions.

3) Reboot your mobile.

4) Calls using Viber should work now :D.

You can use free a application from the market called 'build.prop editor'

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KangKilla:
Hello, I currently own an SGH-i717 and would like to start rom developing for it and would like to know where to start. If I was a complete noob and compared to most of the people here I might be, how would I download 4.0.3 source code, use adb with my phone and etc etc. I find it all very interesting but I have no idea where to start.

I am asking for help with this specific device, then maybe onto porting for other devices but this model has a very sore lack of developers for it and since I own an ATT Note I would like to start the development for it regarding ICS and etc. Also why is there a lack of developers for this model's roms?

Thanks for any and all help regarding this issue and I am excited to get started developing for you guys! :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KangKilla:
LOL

If that was the case, then why aren't there ice cream sandwich roms for att note?

and also, what do I search for? I'm very busy so I don't have time to mess with google all day. I need someone who is willing to work with me on educating a new developer, that maybe in turn had someone to learn from before them that appreciates a new (quality)developer.

To keep things simple here... Please refrain from jerky comments as I am trying to maintain progression in this area and again I am a very busy person so I would appreciate it if we kept this thread professional.

Thanks again for any help you care to give! I apologize for being a beginner, but everyone has to start somewhere... right?:p

I already have the Android SDK, but I'm not sure how to use it for developing. I tried once and ended up frustrated with it. Are there easy to understand tutorials somewhere around here that might help a beginner?

I've managed to unbrick my captivate using ADB once but it was very foreign to me and I was kinda impressed I even pulled off sending it into download mode. Thanks for helping!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
It's good to see someone with a lot of drive to develop, but the biggest hurdle isn't building AOSP from source. You need to get a working kernel that is compatible with ICS and all the Notes hardware. You can't google search how to do that. In reality it's almost impossible to do if you don't have extensive experience with that sort of thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
We need the source code from Samsung for the Note and as far as I know, there is no source code out yet for the Note (for any version of Android). The roms you are seeing right now (two that Im aware of) are basically rigged versions of the stock rom where things have been removed (bloatware) and a few things have been added that conveniently worked out of the box without messing with code.

The real work will come when we have some source code to work with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KangKilla:
Ok, what's next?

Okay well that's a start... does anyone know where I can find a stock version of ICS to study it's code and experiment? I found source codes for SGH-i717 here

opensource(dot)samsung(dot)com

(I need more posts to make that a link, lol)

I searched for i717 and it came up with four source results on samsung's opensource search bar but I don't know what the four results are for and what the difference between them all are(unless it means it is for att or tmobile or etc, etc.), if you can tell me any info on these then I would be greatly appreciative.

Yeah, I have no clue how to do most things with coding for android but I do understand how to flash correctly, root and all that jazz. I just lack the programming skills and work flow it takes to make all this. I am downloading java for dummies and learning how to use XML files, but I am wondering if there is something else I should study too?

It sucks that I came here starting from scratch basically but I have learned a lot from here in a short amount of time, I appreciate all of the developers who have made the roms I love along the way, I am just growing impatient with the far and few between updates for your devices and I want to see updates for our devices come faster and the only way to do that is to do something about it. So I am very grateful for any help I get regarding this. :)

Where can I start with the kernel search? Is that what everyone is waiting on to start developing ICS for this phone? Does anyone know if one exists?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mafioso:
I recently upgraded my phone from HTC HD2 to HTC Amaze. It is very good phone except for the battery part. Battery wise I'm getting roughly the same backup I used to get on HD2 with its much smaller battery. I am a medium to heavy user.

I have rooted the phone and installed custom ROM which has OC Daemon inbuilt for better CPU scaling, also enabled manage power efficiently option (which basically does the same thing as juice defender i.e. disable network connection when not needed), calibrated the battery however by night phone is completely discharged on most days. I'm getting like 16-17hrs battery life. The phone doesn't lose much power on standby, however when the screen is on the phone eats the battery like anything..mostly I get 1% drop on average for every 1-1.5 minute the screen on (with auto brightness) and I'm web surfing or using any app...

I was wondering if the high res. screen is the main culprit on Amaze and if switching to galaxy s2 will help ? What you guys think ? Please let me know, what battery life you get on tmo sgs2, I will help me make my decision..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
My amaze sucked juice bad. My sgs2 was lasting a good couple hours longer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
As a former amaze user, who used it and tried everything for 2 months.

The amaze barely gets 3 hour screen on time. I would say 2.5 average.

The galaxy s 2 has the best battery life as of today. I say it's better than the ip 4s or about equal to. We average 4 hours screen on time. Nothing less than 3.5. I've hit 5 hours once. So like I've said many times. Our battery life, is about 1.5-2 times more than the amaze.

See you over here soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mafioso:
Wow actually I had calculated the same thing...the way the % keeps dropping when screen is on, I often wondered the phone would be dead in about 2 hrs..

I don't know gsmarena guys do the battery test, they reported 7:35 hrs of video playback and 3:55 hr on web browsing on sensation in their battery test, when I bought the phone I was expecting similar numbers from amaze especially as it got a slightly bigger battery but boy are they wrong :mad:

I hope so too, only i got to find a buyer soon for my amaze :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samcrocr:
Well here's the thing bro i'm on the stock rom... rooted and bloatware free... i get around 9-10 hours on average usage and 7-8 hours on heavy usage.... Best battery life that i hv ever seen.... really i'm in love with this beauty:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mafioso:
9-10 hours of average usage is really low bro :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spike760:
But for the AMAZE that's probably AMAZING!

But nah, I had the Sensation which is pretty much the same thing, and I would probably get about 10 hours max under moderate use stock.

My Galaxy S II is rooted but I'll get anywhere between 15 - 20 hours depending on how much I'm using it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samcrocr:
yeah bro i knw thats not much but the title says compared to amaze so it's definitely better than that :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] adslee:
Lmao, I don't know what Amaze's you guys have, but mine lasts through the whole day with average usage and moderation. The battery life isn't crazy, but you guys are doing something wrong if you can't even pull more than 10 hours of battery life out of it. The SGS2 does have better battery life than the Amaze, but 1.5-2 times more is such a boost, smh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
1. the Amaze can get 10 hours of battery life.. heck it can get 24 hours of battery.. but it all depends what you do with it. Mine was averaging 12-14 hours, but thats just light to moderate usage with about 2.5 hours display on time.

2. I think you should measure your screen on time for your amaze to measure battery life because that is the main factor for battery usage.

3. I've owned both devices and did what I can with the amaze, I even did reviews and comparison for it... probably even before you owned the amaze. So before you think i'm exaggerating the battery life of the sgs2... you should try owning one before you assume anything.

4. 1.5x more may sound like a far cry but it's not.. lets say you have 12 hours of battery usage... the gs2 gets 18 hours with the same usage.. and believe me many gs2 users gets beyond 18 hours.

5. the amaze's battery isn't BAD, it's about average, but it just appears bad because the gs2 has the best battery life out in the market right now.

However you look at it, you agree, the gs2 has better battery life.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huy_lonewolf:
Hi guys,

I am currently using Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 XE on my Sensation and I have several major problems:

1. I realize that 1080p mkv videos that my phone can play smoothly on Gingerbread (including Youtube HD 1080p) now become laggy. Even with SD videos (fully HW accelerated), sometimes the playback is choppy as well (I use MX player and Dice player). Can anyone help me confirm whether you have the same problems? I believe ARHD ICS does not have GPU overclocked as on Gingerbread, hence the choppy video playback.

2. On random occasions, I cannot get any sound on any applications, but notification sounds and stock music player are working normally. I can still listen to music through the stock player but cannot get any sound for videos. Everything will return to normal when I restart the phone.

3. Wifi randomly turns on by itself. The last time I check, this problem seems to be unsolved, but I may be wrong.

Any kind souls willing to give me some directions to solve the above problems? ARHD Gingerbread ROM does not have any of the problems above, but I don't want to go back to Gingerbread.

[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
They aren't obligated to do anything. From the handful of articles I read about that, it seemed more like a promise than anything. As in, no consequences if they chose to forget that was even mentioned. I have not seen one mention of what would happen if any manufacturer failed to abide by that. Not to mention not every manufacturer or carrier was named in that "plan." It was as if some/most companies volunteered to make that their goal, but others could choose not to.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innercircle:
Hello there, I'm still new to this forum but I did read quite alot before I created an account.

So I want to root my phone and flash a (probably still GB) rom on it, but I have some questions first. I did read the guide for rooting.

- First, if I root does the warranty expire? I know there's an unrooting method, but just to be sure.

- I have a subscription by a provider, so my phone is not unlocked. I'm still able to root?

- My kernel version is XXLA6. In the topic for rooting it says this a non rootable kernel, I don't understand. Can I root my phone?

- If so, what method should I use? There are a couple of methods in the rooting topic, but I'm not quite sure which one I need.

- Should I perform a backup? And if so, what is the best way.

Looking forward to read the answers to these questions so that I can (hopefully) begin!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodeltje:
1. yes, your warrenty wil be void. but if you use the "zergRush Exploit" samsung repair will never see you were once rooted, if you unroot it before sending it in.

2. yes

3. Use ODIN to flash a rootable ROM through the "zergRush Exploit". (so you need to download a ROm and ODIN first)

4. download KJ4+ODIN --> use zergRush Exploit (explained in the thread)

5. best method is a "nandroid backup", but you can only do this when you're already rooted (hehe). This is especially handy when you're going to flash ROM's kernels or whatever. (It's like an image of the exact state your phone is in).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innercircle:
Thanks for the answers!!

At answer 4: what's KJ4? I understand I should use the zegrRush Exploit method, so I guess I could just follow each step on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXfDFzQNWxE&feature=youtu.be?

edit: and if so, I should enable the usb debugging mode I guess?

Another question: will I be able to normally update to ICS with my rooted (and with custom rom) phone when it comes out?

Thanks!!
