Right guys I Love me music and the HOX straight out of the headphone out it's ok. My SGS Voodoo'd kicks its arse out of that water! I'm going to order the HS3000 and test the aptX technology with my TDK BA200 IEMS. To see how it differs.

Will give some feedback once I've had a play with it all.
[HTC One X] twe69:
Let us know what you think nikzDHD
[HTC One X] bazman70:
I have sennhesier aptx cans, and music sounds great through them. Much better than with old HTC desire without aptx

I'm never going back to wired
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Will do mate I got it yesterday but too busy watching the footie damn you Citeh!

Will test it on my morning journey to work on the tube and see how the Bluetooth signal works underground.
[HTC One X] twe69:
Lol, was watching the same match too!
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Initial thoughts, wireless is so much better than having wires dangling everywhere. It's much easier to manage and handle other things around you lol.

It worked well on my journey on the tube this morning.

Now the sound quality, it's not of audiophile quality, but it's more than acceptable for a wireless headset. It's not as good as the SGS voodoo'd but it's more than acceptable.

I'm using TDK BA200s quite a pricey IEM and with the SGS they're off the hook, with this wireless set up its not far behind. It packs the bass, reproduction is good.

Tested using Spotify and high quality 320kbps mp3 files via Poweramp. Both sources sounded good to my ears via those headphones. Comes with 3 sound modes on the HS3000, I stick with normal. There's another mode which adds more oomph and bass.

For less than £30, for on the go listening its worth it. Plus you can use it as a Bluetooth Mic so two for the price of one device.

Need to do some more research into aptX to see how we can further improve the SQ.

I think with a good set of headphones you won't be disappointed unless your an audiophile.
[HTC One X] twe69:
Cool, thanks for the info.

I was impressed by the initial sound quality with my goldrings directly connected, compared to other devices I have. I need to use my Fiio E5 headphones amp to power it up properly otherwise. I did used to have a Samsung Galaxy S and so I know the sound quality is not as good but generally pleased, apart from the hissing sound and the feedback when I have a usb charger connected to it.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
No noticeable hissing sound when using the Bluetooth connection. Just occasional signal drops for a split second though if there are major interferences.

Overall I'm pleased it works good and sounds good.
[HTC One X] mjeshurun:
I just purchased the Sennheiser MM 550-X Travel headphones to use with my SGS2 4.0.3 LP7 XEU. I'm not sure if I'm actually hearing music using Apt-X (because there is no indicator for that), but the sound is super sweet! Good bass, nice highs and no hissing whatsoever.

I'm really happy I bought them :)

[HTC One X] 2kfire:
Disclaimer: I don't claim to be an audiophile or an expert on this sort of thing.

About me: My background is live sound. I'm in charge of setting up the sound system for our church. I've also done it for a few other churches and have been told I do a really good job. I listen to all music genres and can't stand anything MP3 less than 192kb/s cuz it sounds horrible to me. I am able to tell the difference between 256kb/s and FLAC around 3/5 of the time, 320kb/s and FLAC maybe 1/5 of the time. Hopefully this helps give my opinion some perspective :-)

I bought one of the Samsung HS3000 so I could use my Sony XB500 cans wirelessly. I have also used it with my JVC HA-FX67 in-ears, in my wife's Pontiac G5 w/ premium sound and with my Logitech Z-2300.

Using it with my One X, I am unable to hear any differences compared to wired when not using any sound modes on either device. None at all. When using "beats", at higher volumes, the sound is fuller through the Samsung. I suspect it may have a more powerful amp, as it seems to drive the Sony's better than the phone does.

Using it with my Sensation, there is a hissing at low volumes. I hear dynamic compression and some compression artifacts that I don't hear when plugged in directly. There is some lag, maybe for 1 second every 3rd song, when using Bluetooth, compared to none directly plugged in.

I can definitely hear a difference when using the One X vs the Sensation. Whether its aptx or something else I don't know. Either way the HS3000 sounds great to me with the One X.

Hope this helps!
[HTC One X] pzboyz:
We put a pink noise source through the HS3000 and in all 3 modes it has, we saw the ferquency response was strange, it seems to be trying to EQ compensate for the earbuds provided with it. The HS3000 does not output anywhere near a flat frequency response.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
I have a pair of Sennheiser MM400 headphones (not the new MM400-x, apt-x compatible model). The Bluetooth stack on the OneX is awesome with A2DP, and the only device that I have found to match it in terms of audio quality over A2DP is the Sony A-series walkman. Compared to the HTC Sensation it is night and day. I detect no background hiss, high pitch sounds (cymbals etc) are produced nicely, excellent signal range which I cannot disrupt at all unless I walk into the next room without the phone.

So I can't see that APT-X would make any noticeable difference over a good quality non-APT-X receiver.

However, I can tell the difference between wired and Bluetooth quality - the Bluetooth quality is immensely BETTER - because the wired headphone output on the One X is absolute poop.
[HTC One X] pzboyz:
Maybe the Bluetooth chip used is a factor in how well the A2DP audio sounds, the Sensation uses a Broadcom chip and stack, the H1X is a TI chip and stack.
[HTC One X] cabasse84:
lossless will always trump lossy audio codecs. I've never heard a truly good standard bluetooth A2DP stereo headset, ever. just got a new one s myself and am looking forward to getting my hands on a aptX capable headset or receiver to give it a go-round.
[HTC One X] pzboyz:
See what familyhousing wrote below.

aptx is not a lossless codec

Nokia MD-310 Wireless Music Reciever
[HTC One X] rEVOLVE:
I don't have a One X, but a Galaxy Tab 7.7 and will take delivery of a Galaxy S3 next month when it's released for my carrier (both support apt-x). Hopefully if any of you have come across what I'm looking for you can please help me out.

What I'm trying to find is an apt-x bluetooth adapter that will plug into a 30-pin connector on ipod/iphone speaker docks. The reason i want the iphone dock format is my car has an ipod auxiliary in dock connector that not only passes the audio, but lets you control next/previous track from the steering wheel controls. I am currently using a Sprint Anycom FIPO bluetooth to iphone dock adapter to achieve this and it sounds pretty good, but an Apt-X version of this device should improve the audio quality even more while allowing me to retain the audio controls w/ my steering wheel buttons.

I actually have an all-in-one 30-pin charging cable for my tablet that will pass the audio to my head unit's auxiliary input if I was interested in audio quality alone, but the current bluetooth audio setup I'm using has good enough audio quality for me when playing from my Galaxy Tab 7.7.

Hopefully a manufacturer who's licensed the Apt-X technology sees the market opportunity here to provide back-support to all these hundreds of existing ipod/iphone docks that can benefit from wireless Apt-X quality with an adapter.
[HTC One X] Gadgety:
Anyone tried the Nokia BH-610 Essence headset? It's got Apt-X, active noise cancellation (mainly screens out bass), and as they are in-ear it's got passive noise cancellation (screens out higher pitched sounds), it's got microphones inside the ear so it's claimed to even cancel out the pulse beats from your heart (!) "For instance, with regular in-ears, if you’re in a quiet room, you can hear your own bloodflow inside your head. Our noise cancellation eliminates some of that." An interview with the project responsible is found on Nokia's official blog http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/09/06/the-essence-of-sound-an-interview-with-an-audiophile/.

The only thing the Essence still has against it, in my book at least, are the wires to the bt/apt-x receiver/decoder. I suspect there's some microphonic effects from those wires.
[HTC One X] nikc0069:
I too am looking for this - did you ever find one?
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
I've also just bought the Samsung HS3000, and I'd recommend it. The sound is great, can't notice any difference in sound between wired or BT, even when playing over decent speakers. Got it for £25 from amazon, it's a bargain.

Another thing, is I have the wifi/BT antenna fault, and the reception is real bad with my jawbone icon (it will normally go about 30ft with walls between before losing connection) , if I just turn my head slightly it cuts out , but the hs3000 seems to be better, it can go about 2 foot away from the phone. Which would mean when I get the hox fixed, reception will be damn good!
[HTC One X] jrgreenman:
I'm also looking for an APT-X compatible bluetooth receiver that allows me to plug an iPod cable into it. I have a 2009 Hyundai Genesis and, like you, am hoping to find an APT-X bluebooth solution that will preserve the steering wheel controls.

If you hear of one, please post here. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

By the way, does the connection to the Anycom then lock out use of the touchscreen on the phone? Or can I still control the audio (and other functions) on the phone while simultaneously controlling the prev/next audio from the steering wheel
[HTC One X] jrgreenman:
"After initial pairing I've noticed one or two occasional dropouts during the first minute or so of playback..."

I got an HS3000 not longer ago and noticed the same thing. Several very short (100ms or so) dropouts shortly after pairing. It's really quite an annoyance. Have you discovered the cause (e.g. a bad manufacturing run) or a solution (e.g. replace with a younger revision of the HS3000)?

I suppose I'll live with it since the sound is really quite good and the device settles down after a couple of minutes. But it is a persistent nuisance.

[HTC One X] ebourlet:
According to Samsung Technical support the HS3000 does not have APT-X. I called them on the phone and got someone that was not very technically savvy. While I can find resellers that list it as APT-X I can't find it on any official Samsung site. Do you have a URL that shows that it actually has APT-X? Thanks

SE MW-600 vs Samsung HS-3000

Hi . I owned the SE MW-600 for years now and been quite satisfied ,even kept it instead of the newer Sony Smart Wireless Stereo Headset Pro which I owned as well. I found the MW-600 to be better sounding and more ergonomic.

I would consider getting the Samsung HS-3000 Apt-x receiver now when I have the Apt-x capable SGS3.

Anyone here that has experience with both gadgets ? If so , is there a big step up from the SE to Samsung device?
[HTC One X] williamhung:
I got a pair of Nokia Essence earlier this year when I was living in Germany. They are excellent and by far the best BT headphones I have ever tried.

I've used several stereo BT headsets since the days of the Windows Pocket PC's, and I just lived with and accepted the fact that the technology needed improvement.

The Apt-X, however, makes a big difference and now BT is indistinguishable from a wired connection, so no more compromises!!!. The ANC is very good and convenient while traveling. The battery life is even better than the one Nokia advertises too.

I don't understand, however, how Nokia are not selling the Essences in the USA.

BTW I'm also looking forward to snag a deal on the HS3000 to put it in my car with my GS3. :fingers-crossed:

[HTC One X] tomik99:
I don't know if this has already been suggested but you can use any existing headphones with HTC's own apt-x A100 bluetooth car adapter.

You can connect your headphones to this using a 3.5mm female-female adapter:

This is the solution I use with my sennheiser headphones yielding excellent sound quality as well as allowing me to add bluetooth functionality to my car stereo!

Hope this helps someone :)
[HTC One X] abw0046:
HS3000 is great...

I've had mine for about a year now and love it. Quality is fantastic. I use it with the Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy S2 on Sprint) which is also APT-X capable. I use it with Klipsch Image One cans and various ear buds (Rocketfish Gaming buds and some Klipsch S3) and am very please with it. I'll probably be buying and extra one to keep hooked up in the car. MOG music service (320k streaming) is great with this.

Long story short. I recommend it. Very cheap compared to other APT-X receivers. Got mine for 25 on Amazon.

PS

Also to note, I wouldn't use headphones that have inline mic since the HS3000 has one built in. It ends up trying to pic up both mics and is like boosting the gain by 1000% (exaggeration) to the person on the other line.
[HTC One X] klau1:
is there a successor to the HS3000?

It seems to be discounted at many online retailers, besides eBay.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 131313:
Now that everybody claims the new update I am getting kind of nervous.

When I search for the update it tells me there is none available. :eek:

Some of you mentioned in these update-threads that reinstalling x.x.15 fixed their built to make it ready for the x.x.21 update. Because I had to use adhoc-wifi fix and GPS fix and probably deleted an inbuilt app or two I tried to reinstall version x.x.15. But when I put the the file in the root folder and do a reboot there is nothing recognized. Even boot via pressing volume- and start buttons, formatting the microsd to fat32, e-fat, ntfs and even fat, nothing . No sign my C2 wants to reinstall.

So I am doing something wrong but I can't really figure out what it is and I decided to post in the "General-Section 'cause that's where everyone sticks to awaiting the dualboot-news from GK as I have speculated in another thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1537401

And before I forget: I'm glad I have bought and substituted and finaly received this busy beast. Only BT/wifi sucks, which I can live with, but I am always open for improvement. And no,I don't think a pear would make me happier.;)

Well, might not seem very legit, to post here about that matter, but after like 3 years with my Hero, and since second one part of this community, i feel the need to say goodbye to all loyal Hero owners.The reason i say goodbye, is because i upgraded to Galaxy SII , but i will keep my hero as exhibit in my room!

So long friend, I had my hero tucked away, have since used an iphone, galaxy s2 as well, I only left my galaxy s2 last week for the nexus, so lost ability, to move around with my 25gig plus music collection, as sadly the nexus only has 16gig, so hv had to come back to my hero, and it still breathes.

I have had my Hero since the week it was launched in the NL great phone was looking to replace it but can not find anything as small, neat and well built.

Was running a MoDaCo ROM for almost 2 years just updated to EleLinux 7.2 thanks guys it is like have a whole new phone. :)

So sorted for another couple of years.

I am thinking of "upgrading" my Hero for a Samsung Galaxy S II, as well.

I am tired of missing calls event with stock ROMs. Besides, I need for CPU power than the Hero has to offer.

This doesn't mean I am disappointed with my Hero. It's a great phone, but it already past its time... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Syrebral:
Here in Australia a retailer is offering the Galaxy S2 for under $400 and I must admit, I've been interested.

I just installed the Hero ICS 4.0.3 ROM today and I'm pleasantly surprised with what the phone is still capable of, despite it being terribly 'old hat' now.

Does the Galaxy S2 have any shortcomings? Still very much considering it for the money.

try this patched version of apktool.jar, this should help by decompiling and compiling some 403 and 404 version apk´s.

Hi,

half a year ago I had a "HYBRID" called Rom installed on my Phone. This Rom had several premium apps (aka warez) with them. Accidently, I tried to update some of them back then.

The Rom didn't last long on my phone but now I have problems because of that update-try it seems.

The App "Tapatalk" is marked as paid in my Google Apps section. If i click "Install" it says "Error 403" (not authenticated I guess).

There is no way to remove the app from my App Section it seems. I tried requesting a refund, describing my problem but only thing I got back was a mail telling me that it is a free app?!

Anyone has an idea how i can remove this app from my list so I can buy it?

I had no problems buying other apps so far (Root Explorer and PowerAmp just yesterday), its just this Tapatalk app.

Thanks for your help!

regards
[Android Apps and Games] wildcard30:
From what I have read it looks like you will not be able to remove it from your list. Did you try clearing the cache and data for the android market app?
[Android Apps and Games] StephenC82:
Had this problem myself before.

only way I got around it was to freeze market updater, Downgrade to an old market, one of the original greeny ones. 2. something. Then unlink the app from the market. I then choose to buy the app. Then unfreeze your market updater and let it update or flash a new market.

You will need to reboot after most of those steps.

This should hopefully help as it did for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Copacaba:
Yes. I also have tried a workaround with market fixer that i have found (clear google service framework, delete links, reboot and such stuff).

The app is also marked as "paid" on the Google Website (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=tapatalk&c=apps)

Thanks StephenC82. I will try that!
