Yep, more to it than pure numbers (although they are a helpful indicator). If it was just about pure numbers then Grado models up to the RS1i for example would be badly rated due to their specific frequency response curves not being "perfect", when in fact they are revered in part because of that very fact and the effect on the listener (obviously I realise you know this, but perhaps not all readers will be familiar).

On the stock player Beats on is required, the bass level and impact is non-existent without Beats, so I definitely agree it's an improvement there (but only really because without it the stock player is awful). Have you tried any non-stock players? PowerAMP without any kind of EQ sounds basically the same with Beats on or off, and when off sounds nearly the same as the stock player with Beats.
[HTC One X] mooves:
I've tested iPhone 4, HTC Desire, Desire HD, HTC Mozart, SGS II, Galaxy Nexus, Note, Dell Streak vs my benchmark of the iPod 5th Gen for quality and loudness.

One X by far is the quietest but good sound quality (with Beats off) of course. I use Senn HD25-SP IIs.

If your after good quality sound IMO the Galaxy Nexus is best of my Android bunch with the Mozart sounding a bit better (crisp, clean good bass and plenty of volume - if you want to go deaf).

One X is a great phone but unfortunately not for sound quality. :(

[HTC One X] TremF:
Yes you're right... the other thread should be closed. I just had a quick (not much there) read and there is more technical, useful and interesting info in this thread. If you don't like it don't read it.

I have an old 32GB Cowon D2 with an extra 32GB SD card for my FLAC etc files and love the sound I get from that. For me the main thing putting me off switching to the HOX is the lack of storage. I have almost filled the 64GB on my Cowon. With the apps/games I have installed on my HOX I don't even have 15GB for my music and I love a big music library and not having to swap it about.

I am yet to try my earphones in the HOX though I am sure I will forget to charge my Cowon one day (that battery lasts ages!) and then I'll give it a try.

In the meantime I'll be checking back HERE to see if anyone susses out what the DAC is and how good it is. :)
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
We get it. You're butt-hurt that we didn't validate your existence as a person by all joining in your thread, because you chose a poor combination of title and first post. Could you please stop spamming your irrelevant thread? There's not a SINGLE post in the other thread discussing the DAC.

The people in this thread, who are interested in audio quality and the DAC, are NOT interested in Beats (which is a simple bass expander with a fancy brand name, and has absolutely nothing to do with audio quality).

Your topic is entirely about the Beats headphones / algorithm, and has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

Incidentally, you're now on ignore, because your ads are so annoying.
[HTC One X] frankoid:
I use Sennheiser HD-25 headphones, which are quite sensitive so the noise from my HTC Desire (and before that Nokia N95, which was even worse) is very noticeable. To work around the problem I use a volume attenuator. This works because the noise doesn't get louder as the volume on the phone is increased, so turning up the volume on the phone and down on the attenuator improves the SNR. Perhaps not an audiophile solution, but it is a cheap way of making a big improvement to the sound quality.
[HTC One X] convert:
My subjective sound comparison

This is my experience fwiw...

I have a Fiio e7 headphone amp - when this is plugged into a pc via usb it overrides the pc dac with it own dac - which happens to be a Wolfson WM8740 (although this means nothing to me except that i know the sg3 uses a wolfson dac - and also that no one seems knows which dac the one x uses).

I use earbuds - westone um3x's with custom silicon tips.

On my one x i use playerpro and the ics equalizer which includes the virtualiser absent from the dsp pack - ie., i don't use the dsp equalizer or beats audio.

The virtualiser makes the most difference to me - it gets me back to the sound stage i used to have using srs wow on wm6/6.5 devices.

I can't use the fiio with my one x and westone's for too long as the bass is fatiguing and i think i lose a bit on the mid's..

I get just discernable hiss (usually just at the start of a track) on my one x with the westone's (without the fiio amp) ... I don't get the hiss using the fiio amp with my laptop (or using the fiio with the one x - but i lose mids). (NB. all my best portable listening has been with "hissy devices" so i don't think this is necessarily a bad thing - this has been a common factor using ue supefi pro 5's and westone um2's).

Is there a huge difference between the laptop/fiio setup versus the one x using playerpro and the virtualiser.. ?

The audio is arguably better using the laptop/fiio setup but I have to go backwards and forwards between the two setups whilst playing the same songs to conclude this.

I also suspect that the laptop/fiio setup would be more fatiguing on my ears than my one x.

Hopefully someone will find this useful..
[HTC One X] 1earful:
i wandered into this thread looking for some info on recommended best quality mp3s, etc. yesterday i simply transferred from itunes my lossless files for yo yo ma playing ennio morricone. huge files. the native music player wouldn't even open them. i thought of dumping the files and doing a conversion to mp3, but decided to check around. stumbled on poweramp and neutron. using trial versions right now. they are both raising the music coming from my stock int'l one x to another level. i'm no audiophile, but i have now tried my senn 650s, klipsch x10s and phiaton ps 20 bts with these players. absolutely no complaints. no skipping, no background hiss, no discernible noise when the player is stopped. i like the phiatons best for one additional reason: no interference from the cord when moving around and i can adjust audio level from the headset's controller.

i know i'm going to spend five bucks to get one or the other of these two players. it will be worth it. i suggest anyone unhappy with the hox try these out before deciding the phone is not capable of delivering a good listening experience.

Which is better? CM7 or CM9? which is more stable at this moment? Some are saying these bugs and some are not. Need help.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doo:DAce:
CM9 is currently under development, although it almost has no major issues (only camera) it's still better to use cm7 as of now. Kabayan! ^.^
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pakeronjay:
Hoo! Kabayan! :D Are you using CM9 already?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Danceslas:
Has evil_penguin said for the moment cm9 is on development but the port made by Maclaw and his team are really stable (some force close of course sometime but it's a beta so it's normal :p). For me the big different for the moment between cm7 and cm9 it's just the camera who does not work for the moment in cm9. But if you want more details just go here===>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1490867. Hope i help you :)

*Sorry for my imperfect english
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jereka08:
hmm...

cm9 available?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] travers93:
For me, cm7 is stable because for example camera and radio works (in cm9 currently don't work). But i think cm9 looks better. if you don't use camera and radio, install cm9.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Yes is available but in beta version.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pakeronjay:
Yeah it is available but yet unstable. What ROM are you using?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Danceslas:
For my part it's cm9 beta5 from Maclaw and his team but i don't really understand what is "better" for you if it's the stabilty and all fonctionnality work so it's cm7 but cm9 look really great but still in beta so it's sure it will be less stable and some function are missing (camera is the big one for the moment). It's all about how you use your phone if you use a lot your camera if you want to have a smooth surf on the net...etc. I use cm9 and i'm really happy with it just wait a little and cm9 will have all the functionality work :)

*Sorry for my imperfect english
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TheBlackWolf:
Maclaw's CM9 is smoother than GB and CM7.... Only Camera is the main problem!

The performance of CM9 forced me to use it... Lol
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] blindboylevy:
I'm using CM7 atm, I like it. It's clean and fast.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mailanik:
CM9 is one of the most desirable roms now a days as it is ice creams sandwitch. but the main issue right now is the camera and it is still in the development stage(Beta). So, if you can manage w/o using your camera on your phone you can go for CM9 other wise CM7 :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrVinoIsRock:
how about radio in the CM9 ? :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] scoffyburito:
I'm not fond of cm9 as its lack of compatibility. Bleeding edge rom

Right..certain apps are not compatible with ICS. But gradually they will be....with time.Happens with every new OS upgrade.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ndr4:
+1 for CM9..i'm using it now. beta 6 is very smooth with 4.0.4 version.

now just waiting for camera fix and 3.x kernel :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] fahady:
go for the CM7 coz its more stable and everthing i mean everthing works like charm , while CM9 still in devolopedment and there are some issues and might not be good for daily use
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] KcLKcL:
Stable? Go for CM7.

Forget CM9. Forget it. At least for now
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Hyper ACE:
actually its up to u..

if u want taste the new ics rather than gb better choose CM9...

although its camera doesnt work for now at least we can wait maclaw to fix that....

if u want stable and all fully working apps so choose CM7..:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sleepercode:
cm7

If you want CM9 you can use CM7 and install ICS theme to look like CM9
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] travers93:
Theme for CM7 don't look in 100% like a CM9.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TheBlackWolf:
Coz it has slightly different hexcodes!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doo:DAce:
I don't think you get why people actually want ICS. We want ICS not only because of it's looks but also it's performance. ICS is way faster than GB.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] travers93:
I know it :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] joaolpinho:
Yup, have to agree with you... at least it feels more responsive apart from the camera issues and some other rare force closes..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] system.img:
If you don't use camera, cm9 has a better experience as it has ics. But if you want a fully stable rom, tru cm7!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] wunghau:
CM7 for me

actually CM9 and CM7 is almost the same, just based on different version of android.

CM9 - lovely extra features and eye candy. But now still have camera issue (if you're using camera frequently, then it not suit you)

CM7 - has better battery life than CM9, but less eye candy with those ICS feature. However, we can have the patch of look-a-like and "swipe to remove notification" for CM7.

So, for me, i would choose CM7! =D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] caronaakk:
Cm9 looks smoother but not really smooth as gb.

Like realfootball2011 i have played in both cm9 and cm7.

Cm7 plays definitely way batter than cm9.

Cm 9 is still in beta stage so its not that stable specifically for gpu performance...

But hopping whenever it will be in final stage nothing better than cm9.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.chatten:
Does anyone know a way of erasing the sdcard (external storage) on the Nexus S using fastboot commands? i ask because i'm creating a cmd file that will return my phone back to stock using factory images and then relock the bootloader, the only problem is that the sdcard doesn't get erased when relocking the bootloader, so is there a fastboot command to erase the sdcard?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljordan2:
You can lock and unlock bootloader again. Then relock.

So lock->unlock->relock
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.chatten:
Thanks for the quick reply, i had thought of that but i would prefer to just erase the sdcard (also for future reference), or, perform a relock that gives the same results as the unlock, eg: wipe sdcard, which would be better, my cmd entries are below.

fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pimpin oh boy:
that would work but when i try that my setting will force close
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
I ODIN-flashed two versions of ICS (FC18 and FC24 - full wipe with restore to stock) and both times my 3G did not work. I could see the 3G icon and the green arrow sending, but the orange arrow never lit up, as if there was something wrong with the way I set up the DATA profiles. After going back to EL29 and restoring the DATA profiles one more time (

using the exact same steps I used after installing ICS

), my phone is running properly again.

To answer your question, I entered ##3282# and I was able to put the Boost server and saved the setting without any force close.

I also didn't like the fact that scrolling wasn't smooth in ICS as in 2.3.6...

When you updated your phone to ICS, did you do a full wipe to stock or did you keep your existing DATA profiles and settings ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pimpin oh boy:
by what i did was just flash a ics rom via clockwork mod maybe i should try just flashing a stock ics rom what rom are you using by restoring data profiles do you mean re boost flashing the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
If you flash your phone from 2.3.6 to stock 4.0 (full factory restore through ODIN, not through CWM) you will lose your Boost Mobile DATA profiles ... in other words, you would have to re-flash to Boost all over again... I can't confirm this will happen to you as well, but this was the second time I tried ICS and I had identical results.

NOTE: if you'll do a factory restore through ODIN from EK02 to/from EL29 or to any other 2.3.6 ROM version, then your DATA profiles won't get erased. It seems that it only happens when you upgrade to ICS 4.0

To make matters worse, 3G didn't work in ICS... after re-flashing the phone to Boost with all the DATA profiles the icon appeared, but the DOWNLOAD arrow never lit-up. The internet just didn't work... I didn't spend too much time trying to figure out what was broken, so I just put back EL29, re-flashed to Boost one more time and the phone returned to normal.

I will probably spend more time with ICS when Sprint comes out with the official release. If the net is still broken at that point, then I'll put the time to find a solution...but until then ...

I used doomloords zergrush root method on my DX2 on 2.3.4. It ran through the steps seemingly well and rebooted like it should. Upon boot there was no super user and It tested negative for root? So I tried runnin the program again, and when I "press any key" all of the steps show up instantly like it was just showing what had already been done. Then I thought I would just try runnin the unroot and all the steps were there popped up instantly too. Every time I run through the root method nothing happens now, and I don't have superuser? Uhhhh...i need to get rooted soon!!!

let's see if I can work magic again :p

zergrush works perfectly well with rooting,2.3.4 AS WELL AS 2.3.5

so since you got thru the whole script and it didn't error on ya, I'm thinking you may have forgot to check the unknown sources box in settings>applications on you x2

try this

first turn it on(while your in there, might as well give the debugging setting a toggle off/on, make sure debugging is ON before exiting and starting zergrush)

try the script again

if it hits through the script with no errors but you still don't see superuser

then go into the play store, install superuser , AND get a busybox installer and see if you can manually install that way

then reboot and see if you can use a root capable app

let me know if this works if you try it please
[Motorola Droid X2] hoodratchandler:
It doesn't even run through the script. The entire script just pops up from my previous try. I'll try the busy box installer...
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
you did unzip the zergrush package before running the script correct?

you should have done a right click extract all/decompress here (depending on what zip tool used)
[Motorola Droid X2] hoodratchandler:
D'UHHHHHHH

How did i forget to try that? :cool:

Lol, I GOT ROOOTTTTEEEEEED!!!

But i noticed during the root script (by the way i used zergrush v4) is said something along the lines of:

not enough space in /system/

freeing up space in /system/ by removing google maps

and upon reboot, i still had my icon but when i clicked on it is just kept saying loading for an extremely long time... so i started deleting all the apps i never use. then i got a notification that said "updated to newest version" so did zergrush just remove the updates for it to make room? then when i had freed up space i got it back? because i dont want to get into removing bloatware...or anything that could cause bricking. because i bricked my LG ally (no dev for those phones) and cant afford to lose my droid. lol, just rooted for wifi tethering! thanks ash, travis, and everyone else! but do you recommend i install CWM for safety??
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
you are fine ;)

I recommend installing our BSR, don't install,cwm from,ROM manager or anything

there is links floating inn or forum, check the sticky made by booked or moonshadow for correct apk

then make,a nandroid backup.

and don't worry

if you remove any bloatware apks that won't be enough to hard brick ya, if anything dies wrong from removing boat apps all you need to do is flash an,sbf and you will be back in the game

I, have yet to see a hard bricked Droid x2(vzw)

milestone x2 might be a different story tho not sure lol

but having a, nandroid backup of stock rooted will make everything even easier for ya if something goes wrong you can just restore nandroid and PRESTO you will have EVERYTHING back to EXACTLY how it was when you created said nandroid :) trust me on that one, you wont regret having a nandroid backup available
