I haven't heard of the Meelectronics M9P but I have always sworn by Sennheiser. You can usually pick them up on sale for a great price.

I have both the CX 485 that I picked up for $15USD and the CX300B that I picked up for $19USD.

I have a bunch of SkullCandy in ear buds that are good; but I prefer to use the Sennheiser one's for some reason. If anyone needs SkullCandy buds I can get them at a near wholesale.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
SkullCandy's are not that good for its price. It over hyped. Sennheiser will be a better choice. For a review of almost all the IEP try 'head-fi.org'. You'll find reviews of all IEP's for each price range. I checked the reviews and bought the M9P. Trust me,its a steal for its price. And the remote works perfectly with almost all phones including iPhone and iPod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .Grizz.:
Thanks just ordered a pair of the mp9's for $18 on Amazon, hope i enjoy them!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
U mean M9P,right? I'm sure u'll like them. As they have dynamic driver,they'll need a burn-in period,after which they'll settle to their signature sound. The sound will significantly improve after 20-25 hours of listening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
I used the M9P for a few months before moving onto the M11P+ which were eqaully as great.

Only downer to these is the ugly shaped headphone jack which leads to the wire fraying and eventually breaking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samsoul75:
All Blacberry earphones are really nice and cheap and fit perfectly with Android :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
Just compare those with the M9P and you'll see the difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bghlim:
I posted this to another similar thread but they have solved their problem but mine is not solved.

A little background:

It was most recently upgraded to the the newest OTA and been stable since then. The unit is nearly 1 year old B50. So I know all about holding the power button down for different lengths for different purposes. It is NOT that. Until two days ago, everything was working fine.

First, I couldn't turn it on. I thought since I was travelling and using it a lot, it just ran the battery down. So when I got to the hotel room, I plugged it into the wall charger and it turned on. I was relieved for a while. Then I checked the battery (dual battery widget) and it shows 86%. When I was leaving the room, i pulled it off the wall and bam...it shuts down completely. Curious, I plugged in the charger and it boots back up (asus logo and whirling circle). I decided to leave it plugged in all night.

The next morning, I pulled it off the wall and bam, complete shut down. I plugged it back in and check the battery status. Still showing 86% and I notice it is not charging. I check the battery summary and it shows, battery = unknown error.

I did the hard reset (with it plugged in) VolDown/Power sequence. No luck. I decided to wait until i get home to test further.

At home, I plugged it into the dock. Widget shows the base battery is charging but the tablet is not charging. (it turns on when plugged into the base). It stays on even after I unplugged the base from the charger but the moment i remove the tablet from the base, it shuts of completely.

At that time, I decided to do a complete factory reset. After the reset, it is still having the same problem and dual battery widget is reporting the same unknown error problem.

In summary:

1) The unit will not turn on if I don't have the power cable plugged in.

2) When the cable is pulled out, the unit turns off and will not turn back on

3) When the cable is plugged in, it turns on and work just fine

4) When I put it on the keyboard dock, it turns on and work just fine

5) When I pull it out of the keyboard, it turns off and will not turn back on

6) I have soft reset, hard reset and factory reset (all with power plugged in) because nothing will happen without the power plugged in

7) Battery status shows 86% but not charging:

--When plugged into the wall

8) Battery status shows 86% but not charging while in the dock.

--The dock battery shows that it is charging and the light on the dock is green

I have tested and knows the charger works and the dock battery works.

The main unit battery will not deplete and will not charge and will not keep the unit running.

What do I need to do? Any thoughts? I would greatly appreciate some help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Phi*:
Are you rooted? and did you try to clear the battery stats?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en

you can use that to clear your previous battery stats, and may help with getting a better reading on whats wrong. a messed up battery stat maybe messing with the charging process.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bghlim:
No, it is not rooted. I have just reset to factory settings again. But I might take that route soon if I don't hear from Asus. Is there an good detailed instructions for rooting my TF101?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Phi*:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366743

you can start there. i got rooted when it was in HC didnt like the stock feel, so went to Prime Rom( honeycomb builds) the dev kept it close to stock but with some tweaks to the kernel. was a bit afraid to root at first, but just read through the tutorials, and just did it.

anyways Good luck!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bghlim:
OK, nothing else seems to work. So, I am trying to go down this rooting road and using the battery calliberation tool.

As I was reading through the instructions, I find the build version supported is much older than mine (9.2.1.21) so, unless i am reading something wrong, this will not work.

Anyone has any other thoughts? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] carlos118:
Im curious to buying this phone to be able to have windows phone and android in one! I would like to know how the audio plays through the jack though in comparison to an ipod touch. Is it loud and good quality? Thanks guys!
[HD2 General] Realalist:
Yes the quality is fine but obviously it can be adjusted and headphones matter too.

Sent from my HD2 at the speed of light
[HD2 General] carlos118:
And how loud is the audio? i use beats headphones which are good on my ipod touch but i would like to know if i can sell my ipod touch and get this phone instead
[HD2 General] Realalist:
Speaking personally I would and did because I had no use for an iPod with this phone coupled with a large sd card. The one drawback is that you're phone will also become your music player which you might now want all the time.

Sent from my HD2 at the speed of light
[HD2 General] mengfei:
with some combination of apps like eq + Neutron player the quality does rise so as the vol.

But you have to have a spare battery if your going to use it as a player + phone :D
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
Quality is pretty awful compared to the latest iPad, though the volume gets loud.

Using my JH Audio JH13 earphones, I was never satisfied with the output of the HD2 from the headphone jack. The sound is just not competitive with recent Apple products.
[HD2 General] dertester123:
It also depends on the rom youre using and the app.

My hd2 has a very fine signal noise. I hear it a few seconds after a sound e.g. a notification came in.

Its no big deal and the overall quality is good but if you like very calm and low volume musik i would maby try before buy.

On some roms its better and on some worse and it could also be that its my device that i opened countless times so that there is a hardware issue also.

Just dont want to make you false hope. But as you have many many tools and devs here in 90% of the cases you can find a combination that fits you very well.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
As a music player it is not too bad but the right headphones make a big difference.

Sound quality is quite good but lacks some depth & can sound muddled on some tracks.

I was quite pleased with HD2 as a player & done 3.5mm plug adaption on oem headset allowing me to use my Sony headphones but my old Fuze blows it out of the water in terms of clarity & depth on same OS & headset ...
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
this^^

the ROM makes a huge difference, in WM almost all audio settings can be fiddled with, in WP....its harder lol. Android is somewhere in the middle.

personally I think its fine with WM and Android, with WP its a bit more troublesome, the ROM hasn't been properly developed yet to make proper use of the hardware and drivers/

[Nokia Lumia 900] shiguezinho:
Hi guys,

I'm from Brazil and I want to buy a Lumia 900. Howevery, here in Brazil we dont have the 900, yet.

So, If i buy a Lumia 900 at USA, will it work here in Brazil? Do i need to unlock the mobile? Is it possible?

Thanks a lot
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
The AT&T ones arent unlockable (Yet). There are some folks claiming its a few days away. Some say AT&T told them Oct. of this year.

I wouldnt buy anything until you KNOW you can get it unlocked.

The rogers units in canada are unlockable buy calling rogers for the code.

I would suggest verifying the model you buy has the right radio equipment in it to work in your market/carrier before putting any money down.

[HTC One X] ASavva:
Hi Guys,

I know there are similar threads, BUT the ONE X does have a very special camera, and I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with any specific Camera Apps yet?

Here are a few that I've tried so far, but nothing too special to be honest:

1. Camera 360

2. Paper Camera

3. Stock Camera App

So far Camera 360 is probably the best, but I've heard good things about Camera FV-5 and Camera Zoom FX?
[HTC One X] Radiognome:
When you say camera 360 is probaly the best, in what way?

Lower compression would be great, but I wonder how much the imagesense chip will restrict this and can third party camera apps bypass this process. I have tried camera fv-5 and there does seem to be a little less compression, which allows for slightly more detail, also you can save in png, but there is no zoom function.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
All third party apps bypass ImageSense. I love Camera360. Way less compression, and the available filters are pretty cool too, better than Instagram~
[HTC One X] elot01:
I use now Camera ICS.

This one can disable the compression (at least it says so) and indeed the files get much bigger (100% in jpeg mode instead of 90 or 95%)

And since it still is JPG, you still can use the EXIF info.

I tried some others, but they did miss options or did also compress or the lighting was worse, or .......
[HTC One X] Meltus:
I've tried a lot of 3rd party camera apps and, honestly, I find the stock HTC app to be the best.

Camera FV-5 is very good though.
[HTC One X] Pudex:
Camera360 was great until some background process started to overheat My HOX, and I uninstalled it..
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Stock HTC app has the best UI, but the worst image quality.

Hmm, can't say I've ever had this problem.
[HTC One X] Radiognome:
You may find this of interest, I have done a quick comparison between these camera apps.

1. Camera 360

2. Camera ICS

3. Camera FV-5

4. HTC Camera

You may find the results surprising, please visit the following link to the HTC ONE Users Group at Flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/htc-one/discuss/72157629696073156/
[HTC One X] colobos:
Ive just been using stock ive had no problems with it
[HTC One X] treebill:
Stock is better than camera zoom fx, that thing may have bigger files but it is grainy in low light and over exposed everywhere else (unless you like that).

I can get better pictures using stock and the opening gallery and clicking that edit button.

If you click edit > effects then edit at the top you can manually edit all the filtering
[HTC One X] silv3r4sh:
Thanks for taking the time to upload the comparison photos, Radiognome! Really appreciate it!! :)
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
The thing about the camera apps is that you can control exposure way more than you can with the stock app. If you were serious about taking pictures on the HOX, you'd be fiddling with every setting there is :) Stock camera definitely has the better metering, but I still believe that image quality wise, there's still way too much compression. I'll try to do a comparison some day.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Igotsanevo4g:
So what's everyone's thoughts on the One x and subsequent variants in comparison to the GN? Specifically Evo lte vs sprint GN.

Of course software and development will kill compared to the evo, but is the hardware improvements enough to overcome that?

Sure want to stay in the nexus family from my crespo4g, but that S4 chip is looking mighty fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
I can not see my self ever getting anything other than the a Nexus ... I'll likely buy a new one every year. Right now I don't see any other phone that makes me want to stray from my decision.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wilsonium:
I'm with the Nexus from now on...

I'm with the Nexus from now on. I came from a long list of carrier branded phones and the lack of bloatware and other junk the carriers heap on you was refreshing on the Nexus. Updates direct from Google as soon as available, not after the carrier spends 6 months adding junk. Also, since this is a "developers" phone, the Nexus community is very active and brings more flexibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paleryder:
GN all the way if your a flashing zombie no phone will get the dev that a nexus will. Unlocked boot loaders -huge plus-, look at the evo 3d old phone same specs as our new GN. We've almost caught Dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
+1 for Nexus phones! Couldn't go back to a non-Nexus even though the specs may be better. Firmware > hardware, imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
Your name is red too :eek:

I am shocked they gave all mods even senior mods the same color, i am not a fan of the new red :(

Getting galaxy nexus in 10 days, I can't wait for my first nexus device :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iulipepe:
Personal opinion

I got my nexus 2 months ago. I can tell that I am happy with it specwise, but I am not happy with the updates (yakjuxw, no 4.0.4 yet). From the performance point of view, HTC One X and S beat the SGS3, but all the custom skins make me not want to buy one and for the moment there are no applications that require 4 cores. I acquired the nexus just for vanilla and for not rooting it (my old htc hero was rooted and I tried all the available custom roms on it). So, as a conclusion, I am 90% happy with the Gnex as long as I can play Fifa 2012 and watch sopcast streams on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
I went for the Gnex over the evo... I don't see any benefit other than the faster processor but much more limited development, a non-removeable battery, and its not a nexus :p . I get my gnex tomorrow I ordered it today =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ap3604:
THANK YOU kennyglass123 :)

I was tired of the crazy amount of non-nexus threads cluttering up the Galaxy Nexus forum :(

So any new "What about the SGS III?" or "Who's changing to the One X?" type threads that pop up outside of this one we should flag so you can lock that particular thread right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
This is how I personally decided to choose between the new S3 and Nexus, the S3 has;

-microSD

-better camera (8v5)

-bigger battery (2100 vs 1750, although latter has extended battery)

-slightly larger screen (4.8 v 4.65)

-faster cpu and gpu

-(eventually it will get CM9 and AOPK as well)

Nexus

-curved body, less ugly (opinion)

-better softwares (stock + updates)

-pentaband

-$340 cheaper (S3 16gb released price $739 VAT included vs Nexus $400, used low as $350)

-(USB OTG can alleviate the needs for microSD)

So choosing between the two weights on whether I want to pay the $340 difference for the hardware improvement, my decision is no. I can live with lower megapixels, 4.65" is fine, S3 hardware is faster but practically Nexus can do all the tasks. So I ended up ordering the Nexus. However, I'm waiting to see how much the S3 prices drop by Christmas. I predict since its a part of a popular flagship series and quadcore is still new, the price won't drop as fast as the Nexus did, which nearly half its price in 6 months. I will more likely wait for the next Nexus device if its announced by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
I had an evo4g and that development was amazing... from cm7 and to myns to mik, etc it was great and amazing device that actually pull me from iphone... I will never forget my og evo but seems the circumstances with lock boot loader ans s on is a gamble so I'll stick secure with my nexus I got the nexus just 2 weeks ago and coming from an iphone I'm so much happy.. the ICS experience aosp is the beat IMO sure htc makes something look nice for some people but now I think aosp look so much better IMO :D I will definwtwly get an evo late just to play with it tho because I can't really judge till I have it reall

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgoyena:
There's always a better phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
That is what marketing would have you believe, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
Nah, some of us are special ;)

IMO, at the moment, none of the competing handsets are that much better than the Nexus to warrant changing but if you were due an upgrade, the likes of the One X or the Galaxy S3 have got to be worthy of consideration.

And the idea that you choose your handset based on firmware strikes me as rather odd. That's pretty much the antithesis of the purpose of XDA, which is that your handset is never limited to the firmware it ships with.

You buy a handset based on the hardware then make the firmware fit your needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Honestly, I would choose Tmo over ATT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
To be fair, carriers are not repair centers. So naturally, the refub model is the way for them to go. Also, ATT and Sprint haven't been known for crazy fast updates either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm on StraightTalkSim using the Att network. I pay $45 per month for unlimited everything. I get 7mbps down on HSPA+ here in Western/Upstate New York. I am paying about $40 less than I did on Verizon with no contract and better service (Att is better in my area). The only catch is my nexus was $400 opposed to $300 on Verizon. And the GSM model is better anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
None of the carriers are good with updates. But I would say Verizon is the worst. Thats why I decided to ditch the carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chakra:
The only catch is its not really unlimited. they can cancel you for almost anything. No streaming, no downloading apps, no using apps, no visiting the internet. Oh ya that sounds great....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Most of what you said is untrue. I download apps, use apps, use hspa+ internet all the time. I use wifi when I can though. The lines are fuzzy with StraightTalk. Its about 100mb per day and 2gigs a month, but people have gone way over that. Carriers will throttle you anyways when you hit a limit. Why not use wifi when streaming anyways. And if it turns out I don't like ST I can just go to another no contract GSM provider...I have no contract or etf to worry about.

Its worth it for me personally to save $40-$50 each month over Verizon for the following reasons.

- No etfs ever

- No contract

- I can shop for best plan each month

- I am saving $40-$50 each month over Verizon

- GSM nexus gets updates straight from Google

I will sacrifice having to stream over Wi-Fi as I don't stream much anyways, thats what I use my tab and Xbox for.

Btw tmobile has a $30 per month no contract plan in which they allow you to use 5gigs of data and limited calling (use voip)

The line between what carriers offer on contract and what no-contract providers offer is starting to blur. Especially as unlimited data plans start to die.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PatrickVas:
Went from paying $130 a month for Verizon (700 minutes, unlimited text, 2gb data) to $30 on my Play Store Nexus (100 minutes, unlimited text & 5gb of HSPA data) I can say I'm more than happy with T-Mobile in NYC. So worth it being on prepaid!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
I do all of that and have been doing so for the past 3 months

---------- Post added at 03:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 AM ----------

Agreed 100% with this. I use wifi as much as I can but have downloaded apps, played games, browsed websites and streamed youtube when there's no wifi available
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m0b1l3:
Is the Verizon Galaxy Nexus still worth getting at this point? I really don't like other phones and the Galaxy S3 isn't looking so great either. And yes, I HAVE to be on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
No contract is the only way I will go in the future. I feel so free not being tied to Verizon anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wis1:
I would agree, not being tied to a provider is the way to go, also in europe.

I actually love my GNex and would buy an alternative unless it's a Nexus device again. I don't need a quad-core SoC unless Android and apps actually make use of it.
