[Motorola Droid 3] HEMItude:
Well, sure enough after reading on Droid-Life that Google may have taken action and remotely removed it from peoples phones, I checked my apps list and it is now gone. :D
[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
I don't have it but my Google Play version is 3.4.7 could it be just something new that's in the newer version?
[Motorola Droid 3] WaltA:
Yep, the app is gone as of this morning.

But my version of the Play Store on my phone

is still 3.5.15

.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Right, it was probably a database issue that came to light when 3.5.15 was added, when the "My Apps" page added the "All" page (swipe to the right) that was not there in previous versions.
[Motorola Droid 3] WaltA:
I am inclined to agree about it being a database issue.

Some built-in app on the Droid 3 got assigned the same place in Google's database as some app by Brett Henderson (aka Souper Android Dev). Brett might have actually been an innocent bystander to all of this. :eek:

The fix came in the database, not in our phones nor in the Play Store app itself.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
I wonder if it was a malicious app that took advantage of the same market vulnerability that struck Samsung phones not too long ago. I'm not sure how a 3rd party developer could get "com.motorola.contacts.preloaded". It may have been a Motorola or Google Play issue.

http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2012/samsung-attack2-en.shtml

If you disable automatic updates this issue shouldn't be a problem. I have always had auto updates disabled and never saw this app.
[Motorola Droid 3] WaltA:
I have automatic updates disabled (since day-1), but still ended up with this.

Again, I think it was a bug in the database that the Play Store app used, not the app itself.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Actually seems like it could have been a play store issue, just got the 3.5.15 update and it associated a bunch of preloaded bloatware with the market. And breaking links with Titanium no longer works.

I am so fed up with Motorola and all their bloatware crap. The day this phone goes out of warranty I am flashing a ROM on it, probably the only way I'll ever see ICS.
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
You could always just put a ROM on it and if something happens to the hardware (broken screen, etc) just unroot and manually brick your phone. Then tell them it just stopped working. I'm not familiar with Motorola, but my friend got a new iphone when he bricked his 3s. They just tried to restore it, failed, and gave him a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Firstly I'll explain the purpose of this new thread, to try and find the best EQ settings to get the very best sound possible from your phone while using your headphones / ear buds.

I find the samsung galaxy nexus sounds very 'tinny' when turned to 100% volume using stock ear buds, around 80% volume you can hear a massive boost in treble being produced. Anyway to my point, I found a fantastic EQ set up using Google play music app which eliminates this and sounds IMO apsolutly top notch.

While this may appear a very bass heavy set up it actually sounds fantastically clear and doesn't sound sound 'tinny' when at 100% volume.

Maybe others can share there feed back after giving this a try or share your own settings.

So to post your favourite settings can I ask posters to post their device configurations;

1. Make / model of hand set

2. Music app

3. Brand and model of headphones / ear buds

4. Screen shot of your EQ settings

5. Short description / notes

6. Type of preferred music (dance/dub step/trance for me personally)

7. Open to suggestions for other configuration settings...

Let's get this going then and please don't quote OP its really not nessesary! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Samsung galaxy nexus GSM

Google play music

Stock ear buds

My best settings

Also im finding that if you use the bass booster feature it can actually reduce how much bass comes through if your already raising the preset for lower frequencies for some reason while playing at any volume. It cancels out the really low frquenxie Bass boost for this particular set up sounds best set to 0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] magicriggs:
Wait a minute.... we have EQ settings on this phone?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Yes, go Google play music, hit menu (top right corner for us nexus users) then press sound effects. Enjoy ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
should add the type of music you generally listen too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdesbien31:
If its about the quality of sound, why are you using the stock earbuds they are terrible.

Anyway, I use Poweramp the EQ is much more powerful and the music quality is much better using that EQ.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I'm happy to discus head phones and ear buds here too. What would you recommend? There's a few I looked at but never been overly sold on any particular ones. I dont want to spend a great deal and was after something that matches ICS in either main colour or detail colouring.

I did use power amp on my old x10 but I'm happy using the stock player and don't want to have loads of apps and stuff on my phone. I'm going for pure ICS as much as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tdesbien31:
Gotcha, that means sense.

Anyway I suppose it depends on what price range you want to spend on a pair of earbuds.

These are some recommendations:

$30ish rance: JVC HA FX1X --- are awesome, but bassy

$50ish range: Klipsch S4 Image --- great all around headphone

$75ish range: Monster Turbines --- my personal favorite, amazing all around headphone with alot of bass

I also HIGHLY suggest getting Comply Foam eartips, they are amazingly comfortable and get the full potential sound out of the earbuds, you wont be disappointed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I was looking to spend less than £30 really tbh and have an inline mic for calls. I was looking into the klipsch s4a but decided against them in the end. I will look into those foam tips definatley. Thanks for the pointer mate :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juliano_q:
I really like the simple JVC air cushion earphones: http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAFX67A-C...L2EW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1332965393&sr=8-2

not top notch, but cheap and muuuch better than the stock earphones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chocu1a:
AWESOME! I never new that was there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
No in line mix is a deal breaker for me but thanks. Anyone have experience with skull candy ink'd?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
Hmmm, I will post later on my eq once I install another ROM. Currently I'm on aokp but I installed the beats audio + xlouder port to see what it sounded like. I'm not an audiophile so all I've really noticed is a bass increase. I'll revert and test the op eq, I'm running it now but I can't tell if there's too much bass due to my current mods.

I have koss porta pro phones and cheap skullcandy buds (I usually break them). I'll test them both out tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
One thing to note is when you're running these devices at 100% volume, the internal amp is clipping and you won't get a clean sound no matter your EQ settings. Set at 80% or below and enjoy a much better sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
That's why I reduced the treble to compensate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
OK cool will be good to hear how you get on. I'm not really an audiophile myself I just like to tinker with things and find good results and enjoy my music
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
Sorry, I don't have time yet. Also, cm9 installs dsp manager which overwrites the stock fx changer in the music app. I'll have to try again later.

Ps: I don't much care for cm9, I can't customize it very much :-l
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
No need for apologies, this thread was just created as a suggestion to help enjoy your music. You should find though in dsp manager if I remember rightly there is or was a graphic equalizer you could change manually so just look at the bars and see if you can get them to match up to be the same. If your not enjoying cyanogen you could try aokp which looks very promicing and customisable. I'm comcidering flashing it when I get chance sometime or when they release milestone 5.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
I'm usually on aokp :D I like it the best. Liquid comes in second, but no weather panel and the vnc Ubuntu app doesn't work with it either.

I attempted setting up dsp the same as stick once before but it never sounded the same. I guess I'll give it another shot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
As of right now,

Equipment:

Koss portapro on ear headphones

Cdma gnex

Google music app

Music:

Excision

Killswitch engage

Periphery

skyrim soundtrack

Skrillex

As I lay dying

Animals as leaders

All should be 320 kbps mp3 files

reading more reading on my headphones, it turns out they have lower mids, by default. So I'll try adjusting the eq some more to test, but the gnex itself might have higher mids by itself and there might counteract my headphones. The bass is set lower cuz the headphones have strong bass by themselves
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Do your headphones have inline mic? Also I like scrillex but not a fan of the heavy rock stuff. Thanks for sharing your settings, I know that amount if treble with my stock ear buds wouldn't sound so good for my musical taste.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus expect possible typos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
No Mic. the stock gnex buds electrically shocked my ear drum and my friends. I don't touch them anymore lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Jesus christ, I actaully can't believe that happened! Iv never heard of that happening before. No long lasting damage I hope? Did you not long get out of the shower with wet ears or something?!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
It was so weird. I was just at my desk at work listening to some beats for over an hour, and then YOWZA! It really freakin hurt.

So a couple days later, I told my coworker about it and he thought i was crazy. So I let him use them and within 15 minutes he got shocked too. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Ah right so it was the same set then I guess you got unlucky, or both of you should I say! Perhaps try getting a replacement set through your local carrier store? Just out of interest, were the set you got the plastic and metal tipped ones or with the rubber tips?

That's what I'm saying it's not there. My menu is in the bottom left, not the top right? We are talking about Google Play Music right? Hehe just to make sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
On the now playing screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
They were black buds, with translucent white rubber ear pieces, and silver disc on the back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
I own the S4's , got them paired with Complys 100's and it's an amazing sound experience and Comply foam tips are the most comfortable I've ever used. Considering I got the S4's for I think $50 after coupons, best headset purchase I made and they sound better than Beats earbuds, which are way over rated anyway.

Currently on CM9/Bugless Beast no special EQ settings other than raised mids and highs a bit and usually listen at about 80-90 %.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I have looked at the s4a ear buds and they looked good, i did read the klipsch app isnt working on android 4.0+ the screen seemed to disay when I downloaded it though. They were a little more than I wanted to spend but might have to just suck it up

Unlucky I guess then mate.

Just ordered klipsch s4a as looks like the app has been updated 2 days ago and fully supports ics now. Can't wait :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
My friend and I were talking one time about how there's not a big leap between the dubstep genre and certain metal genres. They are pretty similar in feel and structure of the songs, the main difference is the instruments and vocals. Dub step is like the metal of electronica IMO, but way more popular :p .

If you haven't done so already, check out excision, it's also dub step. Periphery is my fav metal band of all time, you should give their songs "letter experiment" and "light" a try, but be sure to turn down the mids on the eq and DONT use the preset rock eq on anything! Lol it makes any metal song I've ever heard sound like butt
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Yeah I agree about how dub step and metal are similar, like if you played a dub track on a guitar it would sound 'heavy' I'm sure lol

I'll have to look into those groups, thanks for the recommendation, I haven't heard of either before.

Im real excited about my klipsch s4a's, I can't wait to hear how good they sound and finally today they were dispatched. Ordering just before Easter with a bank holiday either side might not of been the best way to do it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Franky_V:
Periphery has lower tuned guitars and not high pitched like older metal or thrash metal (ew).

Excision is like you're in a house party thrown by optimus prime and megatron. He is very good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
OK so now after owning my klipsch s4a for a week I gotta say overall my satasfaction with them is around 65% which is kind of lower than I was hoping, they do sound great don't get me wrong but they aren't as comfortable iv read around, the ear bud tips don't fit me that great and I have to keep moving then to get the right seal for the bass to sound strong. I may have to invest in a set of those comply tips perhaps when I'm paid. Also the sound I was expecting has much more treble than the reviews I read which made out that the treble isn't great but the treble and mids are so strong at times it hurts my ears iv had to turn the treble right down in the stock EQ lol I was hoping for a little more bass, I know they can produce it with power amp as they sound like sub woofers in your ears but I find the UI of poweramp quite hidious and just doesn't fit in with ICS in any way so perhaps someone can recommend either a player with good ICS UI or perhaps some kind of pre amp app to use with Google music? I'm hoping for Super C to finish his voodoo magic but don't wanna pester him any more and let him concentrate lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rye&ginger:
If you have even decent headphones like mid range Panasonic ear buds, you shouldn't need EQ.

The sound quality is quite flat from stock profile which is what you should listen to, but the choice is yours.

I listen to mostly drum n bass, dub step and hip hop. I've dabbled in digital audio production and have some gear.

I'd focus on getting head phones you like.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Well the ear buds I bought should be half way decent for costing me £63 but I find the treble just too over powering at high volume levels and in some cases it hurts my ears and I generally prefer I bassier sound anyway, all though my life if there was a button or switch or dial etc to increase the bass I always did cos I just prefer my music that way. I like listening to trance and dub step and also I like Nero but I wouldn't quite know how to catagorise Nero lol :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Using the mods from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500579 I found to be very effective and gave me just the kind of sound I was after.

You need

1 root

2 busy box installed

3 turn your volume down low

Install the app from post 1 then the apk file from a guy who posted it on page 5.

When you installed the apk from the market and allow it to install the various things it needs and then play your music, then with the apk from page 5 press its icon and allow it root access and then you will find the sound gets much louder and better quality. This is working amazing amazing for me I hope you guys can enjoy the same level of enjoyment :)

I'm not the developer of either app so credits to the devs who made these tools for us to use.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jblah:
I know you all are probably tired of seeing this but I didn't see this question in the first 3 pages of the prime so i decided to ask once more.

i'm really debating if i should get this one...the ipad2 the ipad3 or wait until the infinity comes out.

to me the price is the biggest concern. the ipad2 right now is selling for $360. But I believe the prime is definitely better than the ipad2 but it is $499. The new Ipad3 is also $499 for the 16gb model and has a better display. I realize that the display might not be such a big deal but it can play 1080p..can the Prime play 1080p? or just 720p? Also people are claiming that the Ipad3 gets better FPS in games due to quad core graphics. Also when the infinity comes out the price is rumored to be at $599 ..so $100 more than the current transformer. From most reviews it seems like it will be the same thing just better res so i don't know if that is worth $100 more. I will have to stay at $500 or less.

Also, people have been saying that the latest software update fixed the GPS and wifi. Can someone please confirm this? I thought this was a hardware issue with the back cover being aluminum so i'm not sure how a software update can fix this.

I've always been anti-apple so its hard for me to buy an apple product now but the price of the ipad 2 seems too good to pass up and then when i consider getting the prime i can use that $ to get the ipad3 with a better display. So i'm having a hard time talking myself out of not getting apple at the moment.

I will mostly be using the tablet to watch movies (netflix...and others so i do need codec compatibility (like .avi and such), also for work (taking notes), and for light gaming..to moderate gaming.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rebelwithoutacause:
You can do a few things:

1) Pick up the current Prime and try it out and return it if you don't like it or experience too many issues with it

2) You can do the same thing with the new iPad and return it if you aren't satisfied.

3) Or you can wait for the Infinity and wait for reviews to trickle out and see if ASUS has addressed many of the issues that still plague some of the current Prime tablets.
