Guys, ALL 4g devices will work just not on 4g LTE network. They just don't download at LTE speeds. You gotta remember that LTE is still a 4g based network. So, we are talking about downloading at 5mb/s or 10mb/s. At those speeds, it really doesn't matter unless you are trying to stream 5 porns in high quality at once lol. Same thing as 1x/2g still working but 3g is preferred.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] euphoria:
Actually you lose because the Photon has both the WiMax and the LTE radios built in the LTE just isnt activated...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
The Photon most definitely does NOT have an LTE modem installed. I don't know where you think you got your info. It has the bece3502 chipset which is WiMax ONLY. On top of that, if you read the FCC filings it has only passed for use with WiMax, not LTE. So YOU lose, and you are the one who should research before you speak. ROFL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I thanked you by mistake, but I just wanted you to know, I was a technician at Sprint...I have all the research I need. My job was to open up and repair phones. The Photon does not have an LTE modem. Please show me where you read that it does. And please no, XDA threads with speculation about it. I want solid evidence, like an official spec sheet that says so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
This is the same misconception as the epic touch and evo3d just because they were made to work on the 800 mhz frequency...they think the cdma radio will pick up lte signal.... Its actually really funny how they argue like they really know
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Djspinister:
Plug it in people. Sprint may not update the firmware to allow it, but it does have one. You girls can fight about whatever you want, I know the truth, and it doesn't matter if you think it will or not, I was just giving people the correct info. Flame me or whatever, I know what I see, and I know what is in the photon. If you in fact did take photons apart then you would know as well. This has already been discussed in many other threads so I will stop beating the horse. Peace.

All this talk about the photon and I bet not one of you actually owned one. lol

Its amazing the people they let in these forums. I'm glad you like to tell people what they think, good stuff. I never once said anything about the cdma modem working as an lte modem. But hey you can create statements however you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
The LTE modem is left over from the Verizon Bionic. The hardware simply isn't there.

I can install AMD GPU drivers on my computer all I want.... but it won't give me the hardware.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gorguts:
You mean the Galaxy Nexus...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kurtiskobain:
all of you are so silly! of COURSE our etouch will work with lte! why would sprint release a device designed for a specific technology, and then piss on the ENTIRE customer base of wimax owners by not only HALTING the development of wimax, but then switching to a completely diff technology our device would NEVER have the capability of working with?

common sense...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
No, AT&T has the Skyrocket and the Note, both of which have LTE and a Snapdragon S3 instead of an Exynos that the international Note/S2 have. The normal Galaxy S II on AT&T has an Exynos though. Same with T-Mobile; T-Mobile doesn't use LTE yet but the Exynos processor doesn't work with the weird AWS band that they use so they basically have a Skyrocket without LTE.

Really? Then please tell me where the SIM card slot is? Where's the LTE modem? It was more about releasing a phone that everybody wanted for over a year in the US, the Galaxy S II. Its been known for a while now that Sprint would be switching to LTE and that current phones would be incompatible with it as 4G. If you bought the S2, you either didn't care and wanted an awesome phone, don't live in a 4G market, or you just didn't know they'd be switching.

Enough with this "CURRENT PHONES WILL WORK WITH LTE" bull****. It doesn't matter what frequency you transmit LTE on, the phone has to have a modem that understands LTE, which none of the current phones do. And as another guy said, you can write an LTE modem, but if the hardware isn't there, it doesn't matter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kurtiskobain:
oh didnt you know?? samsungs developing a way to use the SD card as an lte radio! and dont forget the MR slated for this summer which is supposed to include the jetpack.apk so if you dont have lte you can fly to the closest lte area to you!

(im a sprint service tech my friend, this was all pure sarcasm)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
You really had me going lol. I was pissed off at the other guy spouting bull, saying I wasn't credible when, like I said, I was also a Sprint service tech once upon a time. But you don't even need to be one to know that he wasn't making any sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Galaxy nexus has a omap processor that is made by Texas instruments.....

Why is that? Because exynos would not work with lte ... Don't you think Samsung would rather save money and use their own processor than buying a processor from T.i. Or Qualcomm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
I just love how this thread pops up every two weeks, discussed ad nauseum. With the same result, usually two or so users saying "a sprint rep told me so!", and then the same knowledgeable users letting them know the real deal.

Wash.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Thanks for the entertainment! See you guys next month! :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I WORKED at Sprint and I'm telling you what this guy said is true^. It's not just Sprint; phone reps will say anything to sell you a phone and some service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Robbzilla:
Not only that, but many of them are fnaboi's to the highest degree... Worse than video game store geeks... And they just LOVE to gossip about their toys. (Don't take that personally dude... I don't know you, just that a lot of these little fellows would tell you that the iPhone will be running Flash any day now, just because they have an Apple Hardon, or vice versa for Android running Instagr.... oh yeah... :D)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I'm a college student and I only worked at a Sprint store for a few months because my boss was a **** and a pothead, so I quit. Funny enough I used to literally work next door in a Verizon store and they stole me over with higher pay. But like I said my boss would start trouble and blame me for things and ultimately made me choose between school and my job, and I chose school. So I don't take it personally lol. And imo the service sucks (in terms of speed), but I use a lot of data so their unlimited data offering is the only reason I stay.

But what I was gonna say was that a lot of reps actually like the Epic 4G Touch over the iPhone because they think the iPhone is too boring and has no customization (which is true). I'm talking about average 1-800 customer service reps, not technicians. Even my iPhone friends have been saying, "yeah I heard about Android. It's supposed let you do more stuff or something?".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
My ladyfriend is annoyed/amazed by what my phone does.

She hates her iPhone more everyday.

there is a reason why sprint is number 3 they make dumb desicions like instead of going with lte in the first place theny went with wimax cause it was cheaper now wimaxx is getting phased out and sprint looks like idiots thats why theres no ipad 3 lte for sprint they lost tons of money.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
To play devil's advocate, WiMax was the only readily available service at the time. But they were the ones who started the 4G war, and I think they should've waited for LTE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
Done properly, WiMax would have been fine.

If VZW or ATT had rolled out WiMax exactly the same way they did LTE, you would get more or less exactly the same service.

If Sprint rolls out LTE exactly the same way they did WiMax (which they aren't), you would get more or less exactly the same service.

Just wanted to open a thread here for any audiophiles to share their audio equipment setups, apps, and EQ settings.

I have some Bose IE2 headphones for daily use, Beats Studio, and sometimes I use my 6.1 speaker system to play through.

I use DSP manager for EQ and these are my DSP settings http://db.tt/ZKOAhjRw

I use a slight bass boost and extreme compression. Also using voodoo.

Please, share your setup, whatever app or equipment.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] se1zure31:
Wow that is an extreme equalizer setting. Does your headset over amplify mids or so u just like extreme highs and lows?

I have klipsch image 1's and they sound OK but I think this phone blows for actual audio playback.

Also I use dsp with rock eq and slight compression and bass boost. Also have voodoo sound to control volume.

What player are you guys using as well? I prefer power amp and I use play music player for streamed content.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Really don't like my phone for music either but I use power amp as well. Anyone have the audio technias ath-m50 pros that I linked above? I've seem good reviews on it so I really want to buy it. The only problem is that it cost just a much as a g2x now. I always change DSP to what mood I'm in and what music type

I have special edition Dr.Dre Beats. Nuetron 32bit player from Google play. There are soooooo many settings I don't want to type them all. I'm surprised none of you are using it.

What? MP3s are hands down the worst thing to happen to music. If you're going to use a crappy codec then definitely use AAC but both take so much out of music. I try to use a WAV file for everything. Play a song with MP3 and then WAV and tell me there's no difference.

My original post was just stating a fact. The g2x has terrible audio reproduction. An iPod isnt even that great but its better than phones.

I though this thread was for audiophiles. I guess my BA in Audio means I don't belong here.

Btw, Sennheiser = one of the most underrated audio companies.

I agree, only reason I got them is because they were 40 bucks in china.

I am thinking about getting some seinheissers though, tried my friends seinheisser headset and I was blown away. Only problem I had is since they seem to have been made for professional recording, the cord was extremely long and the headphones were not noise cancelling.

But an EQ on a phone is like giving a bath to a piece of dog ****. Its still ****, just cleaner ****.

The fact of the matter is too, EQ has gotten this big hype that it is the only way to make audio sound better on a digital device. I am not denying the fact that proper utilization of equalization does make things "sound" better (hence my comment before). But, when it comes down to it, I would take a mid to high pair of headphones any day over EQ.

Equalization is to be done in the studio. Sometimes on the console itself or, mostly, post production digitally. It all depends on what you want to do too, but I won't get into that. :) EQing what has already been EQed is sometimes detrimental to the sound.

Sorry, I'll stop nerding out now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Lol it's fine, nerd out all you want. I enjoy hearing others opinions (unless their opinions are wrong >…>)

One of the selling points of the G2x was it's audio capabilities, they're not the best, but they certainly aren't as bad as some other android phones I've listenned to.

While all of those apple products may have better audio, I don't want to get apple products because the closed source of apple makes your device out dated in a year, while Android will continue to be developed for your phone even after your carrier and manufacturer leave it behind like we all thought LG did (although they just released a 2.3.4 update). T-mobile did ditch us though.

So I figure I make the best out of the audio on my phone, y'know?

Are you suggesting using FLAC? I think we both know that there is no detectable audible difference between V0 MP3 and FLAC, especially on any kind of a portable setup.

I don't use any software EQ, just Voodoo on my G2X and TF101. I like to use my Creative Aurvana Lives when I'm out and about because they're pretty small and forgiving since the audio on the G2X isn't all that great.

When I'm working out, I use MEElectronics M9s since they're cheap IEMs with a microphone.

+1 on Neutron Music player.

Significant improvement in sound quality even compared to PowerAMP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kookooktchoo:
Actually, the best audio from any portable player without the use of external DACs can be found in the Galaxy S I9000 with Voodoo. That's some seriously good listening and I regret giving mine to my nephew :( If I had the chance, I'd pick one up to use solely as a music player + spare phone if I found a good deal.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I agree but many people have wrecked their hearing by listening at high SPL which has limited their hearing frequency response so they can't hear all of what audiophile transducers are able to provide. Beats and similar have built-in audio distortion (the manufacturers and marketers call it "enhancement") to mask/compensate for the trasnducer's reproduction and listeners hearing limitations. Most of the material listened to is also high frequency limited by the use of digital compression/sampling which can never provide the full information of an analog signal. Consequently, Beats, etc., are totally suitable for Rap and Hip-Hop material whose consumers are who they're aimed at.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Just for the haters, my beats are my 9 year old daughters. As far as being an audiophile is concerned, not everyone can afford $10000 for mark and levinson mono amps. Its the love of quality reproduction of music. Also, if you think looking at specs is the true measure of quality, you're just as stupid as your comments. Who knows what the test for sensitivity is? Its the spl of a speaker measured at 1 Watt at 1 meter. Don't try to call me out. Bose isn't true audiophile, that's like Ferrari isn't true sports car. I was breaking spl records for car audio in 1989. I think I qualify for audiophile. I love how everyone is an expert.

Well, I suppose I am an expert as I've been a professional film sound mixer and field sound recordist and vice-president of a NABET video and film union for some years. I've got a serious hearing dip at 4 KHz in my left ear because of listening at high SPL which I tell my wife is the reason I have trouble hearing her.

Breaking SPL records for car audio isn't about sound quality, it's about loudness. I used to know a person who competed in car SPL contests. His car was loaded with high wattage amps and huge speakers which would play at instantly deafening levels so no one would actually sit in the car or be near it when it was "activated". And how about those "lowriders" who cruise the hood pumping out the tunes from their rides. Gangsta!
