[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ultrasagol:
I know bumping an old thread is inappropriate but I'm in the same boat.

After 9 months of use, my atrix turned barely functional and in order to get the warranty fix I deserve I need to get rid of that Unlocked logo.

I heard that if I flash a Froyo SBF on my atrix it wont do any harm (Brick) because my bootloader was unlocked on stock froyo too.

What is your opinion about that, XDA?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] optik19918:
If i use the relook bootloader guide after that can i unlock it again?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] iain26:
you can unlock it again but relocking the bootloader wont restore drm keys

So, we have a couple of threads already: wireles headsets, earphones.

This one is for Wired Headphones and Headsets

Since there are very few APT-X capable wireless bluetooth headphones available and "genral" bluetooth ones sound so so, people like me, who prefer sound quality over wireless factor, always lack the info about what is the best and such.

The main factors, I believe, for wired headphones are: Good Sound and how much battery power they suck out of our gadgets.

Let's have this thread for such discussions and suggestions.

Sadly, we do not yet have our SGS3s to test everything live, but we can try starting anyways.

I can start with Audio-Technica ATH-ES55. I have the white model.

This model sounds very good. I have tested it with various devices (Cowon J3, HTC Sensation and others) and it really brings superb sound. Some details:

Frequency Response 10 - 25,000 Hz

Maximum Input Power 1,000 mW

Sensitivity 103 dB/mW

Impedance 34 ohms

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sennheiser HD 580

One more great sounding model, older audiophile series that still sound very very good to my ears.

Frequency response: 12 - 38,000 Hz

Nominal impedance: 300 ohms

Characteristic SPL: at 1 kHz 97 dB

Load rating: 0.2 W

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sennheiser HD 650

Another audiophile grade headphones that are pretty famous for their pure natural sound, the best of what i have now. These is the preferred model for me to use around the house, for games and music listening.

Frequency response (headphones) 10.....39,500 Hz

Nominal impedance 300 Ω

Sound pressure level (SPL) 103 dB (1 Vrms)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Beyerdinamic DT 770 M

These are another German made headphones. They are closed and are for stage and studio use, people around you won't really hear what you're listening and you won't hear them too as they provide an excellent isolation against ambient noise. They have a volume control directly at the headphone. However, they are not so pleasant to wear and the sound is not that great as audiophile Sennheiser ones offer.

Headphone impedance 80 ohms

Headphone frequency response 5 - 30.000 Hz

Nominal sound pressure level 105 dB

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep the suggestions coming and let discussion begin ;)

I've just ordered the Jaybird JB-SB2 which gets good reviews and is meant to be apt-x. I'll let you know how they are

Lmao. Apologies all around. :eek:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] camspy:
I have read some interesting info on some forum:

But that was about iPod, does anyone know if SGS3 or another android phones always send out a fixed amount of power through the headphone jack?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] funb0b:
I still use these and to me they are very very hard to beat, in terms of cost Vs performance ratio.

Best money I ever spent in my mind :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] camspy:
Yes, they are wonderful and i'm going to try them with SGS3. I tried them on HTC Sensation and they sound perfect, without any additional EQ and enhancements, however, the Shure E 215 earbuds that i also have, needed heavy EQ modding and enhancements to have a sound that in the end didn't sound as good as Sennheisers.

I was reading a lot of stuff today about power efficiency of wired headphones. What i came up is that higher impedance headphones use less power. So if My Audio-technica has 34 ohm, Beyerdinamic has 80 ohm and Sennheiser HD 580 has 300 ohm, the latter one will be more battery friendly. However, something inside me stops me from thinking that this info is 100% true.

I was going to test my headphones on HTC Sensation for 1 hour each to see which pair use less power. However, i don't know how to count that?!? If i could get suggestions from others about how to track the power usage of headphones, with some app or so, i could do the tests.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] funb0b:
I think I may experiment and see If I can hook up my Naim HeadLine to it :)

The Senny's are reasonably sensitive, but I much prefer to have headroom to spare.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] camspy:
OK, keep us informed how they serve ;)

Volume Controls

Any in-ear headphones with volume controls that will work with the S3?

I currently have the Klipsch S4i (volume controls for the iPhone) and wanted to get something similar to this. I don't like the S4a variant since it's one button.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] android_master:
Other than HD 650

What about Beats??????????

Any suggestion on these:--

Beats Solo or any one similar in the range.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] camspy:
If you guys where asking me, i don't know the answers, let other guys have their input on this thread with their suggestions for you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Get an HS3000 which has Apt-X and use whichever IEMs you want with it, people in this thread can still recommend you some headphones for that :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Zappza:
I have the Bower & Wilkins P5, and the sound is amazing. I used in combination with my SGSII, and the sound blew my mind. It is by far the best headset I have used. It is a bit pricy at 2500NOK (420USD), but for me it's worth it!

edit:

Nevermind the price, it's just expensive in Norway. Around 300USD at Amazon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Toss3:
They look mighty uncomfortable.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Zappza:
Looks are decieving. The cushions are made of soft foam covered in leather. They are comfortable and very noise insulation. It is the best passive noise insulation headsets I've used.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Ha, Beats in a discussion of good headphones, thanks for the laugh.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zabhi:
Wellcome :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] funb0b:
Ha Ha, your a bad man :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Erahgon:
Awwwwwww SNAP! NO HE DIDN'T! :P lol!

Btw, anyone have anymore insight into the headphones provided with the device in-the-box?

@NZtechfreak: will you be doing a review of those along with your review of the SGS 3's audio capabilities (looking forward to this btw)? I'm a fan!

Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
I usually don't bother to be honest, but quite a few people ask actually so perhaps I should do that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] earlyberd:
I noticed a lot of people getting confused about the wired vs wireless. Here's your solution:

HTC Stereo Clip with a 3.5mm coupler from Radio Shack. Turns any wired cans into wireless, even your Sennheiser HD 650. :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Or get the HS3000, which does the same except it also has media and call controls...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I'm going to get me some Klipsh Se4 soon! Awesome headphones

Keep it Classy, Cali.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] earlyberd:
The HS3000 doesn't have Apt-X, and SBC sounds horribad. No thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Sorry, the HS3000 DOES have Apt-X (it's in several of Samsung's sites about it, and also CSR *the developers of Apt-X* confirm it). Thanks for playing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] n-j-f:
It does. See here.

Bluetooth headset v4.0

Samsung Glaxay S III has Bluetooth version 4.0 with A2DP, EDR...

I was wondering which type of Bluetooth headset that you recommend here on xda?

:)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] justiina11:
Are the default headphones that come w/ the S3 same that come w/ the S1/S2? Any reviews how they are?

I recently got a Logitech Wireless Bluetooth Speaker adapter, so I can use S3 as my music station listening via my home theater! No idea on the BT headsets tho.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ribizly:
Is there any non-plugin type earphone headset for the S3 that works well, which is wired?

hi guys,

This is my first thread so please dont mind my mistakes

im here just try to provide possible answers to them , who were looking for "Security Fail" error while flashing Bada firmware over wave 1 2 or 3,

i hve able to recover my wave 1 from security fail error, and successfully flashed my wave1,

if you have security fail errors, try latest Multiloader v5.67 , (dont try older versions)

download Multiloader v5.67 from here http://www.mediafire.com/?s59s0xq99uj5bq7

after connecting phone with PC via USB in Download mode , check LIS checkbox,

if you want to flash boot file, check Boot Change(only boot change no other checkboxes) and load boot files from your downloaded firmware folder, after selecting boot files press download, wait for massage 'wait for reset', your phone will try to reboot but it will stuck at bada logo, dont worry, pull your battery, make your phone again in download mode , press PORT Search ,now uncheck all check boxes except LIS, (do not select Full Download , Master Rom or Diffrances only) now select Amss, Rsrc, Rsrc2(low), facotryFs, apps compressed, CSC, ShpApp, and fota file from downloaded Firmware folder to their respective fields, and press Download, wait untill massage "All files completed". your phone will boot if not try battery pull and again boot your phone, once booted do factory reset using this code *2767*3855#,

thats it

i have sucessfully recovered my wave 1 from security fail error and updated bada 2.0 XXLC2 using above method

hope it help others also,

please forgive me for my english

Take care

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
You asked in the eb thread that was the proper place, csm responded (like their team will normally do) and its not available in aosp. You were looking in the correct area though, next time if the option isn't there, its cause it isn't available lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rasdabess:
I read in that thread that it was in there, now that I think about it that might of been the first ics, not aosp, owell ill just wait till it gets added. Is it possible for it to be done manually? I know of the thing where u change the 9 into an 8, but I checked through my file manager and its already an 8 meaning that internal storage should be set to main. :|
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I've never looked into it, the only thing I knew was what you just stated, I have a class 6 external 16GB, so I rely on that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shouck886:
My GF has the NS4G, and currently she's using CM9 4.0, the latest listed on XDA, but I want to get her on the nightlies route, but I really don't want to wipe her phone if I don't have to. I was planning the following, and was wondering if someone could verify that it will or won't work for me.

USB latest nightly to her phone

Boot in to CWM, to a full backup

Wipe dalvik

Flash nightly.

I'm hoping that CM9 4.0 is new enough that I won't have to wipe anything else & all her apps & whatnot will stay. Am I missing something, or should I be good? Thanks!

Oh, I was also thinking of going the ROM Manager Premium route, but I've never had much luck with it. Mostly just looking for advice. Thanks again!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juanito216:
I've had problems in the past with trying to do something regarding from manager and CMR. Most of the times things work correctly though . I have the premium version. I'm not sure, you can take a risk if you want and wipe dalvik cache and flash a nightly but its best to make a nandroid backup of her current rom before you do so. To be honest i don't know if you can do that and not have an issue. Titanium Backup Pro(I don't know if free version can do this) can pull data settings and apps from another nandroid and restore them to the newer build(if you wipe everything after you backup her rom.) So that's another option

*RESOLVED*

ive searched to no prevail. id like to start developing apps but am having issues getting the environment set up. i have the jdk properly installed.

issue 1 (main \ major ):

ive installed the android sdk from multiple sources, but when i try to start sdk tools, the command prompt flashes/ opens briefly and i get this message:

"Failed to execute tools\android.bat:

The system cannot find the file specified."

do i need to change a PATH variable or something...:confused:

issue 2:

i cannot get eclipse to run. when i try to open the exe file ( because there is no short cut icon...?) it gives a message about not finding a companion library... ive try to change the properties in the file that is supposed to fix it, but it was already set the way its supposed to be. this is not major as i can use a different IDE.

so im completely lost as to th sdk tool. any help would be appreciated!:D

edit:

i just tried adding the file path to the android sdk ( PATH variable) and it still did not work... :/

i also just tried start the android,bat file and the cmd promt flashes briefly saying somthing about xcopy is not an operable command...etc couldnt read all of it...

btw im on windows 7 home premium
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Check if this can help you.

Actually, you don't need to configure environment variables. You only need to install Java SE, and Eclipse and Android SDK should work fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripartist1:
well eclipse wont install either, it cant find some companion library.all i curently have is the java jdk and an IDE called intelliJ idea or something like that, nothing else will install...i had to add an environmental variable to get the java jdk to work on cmd. if you could give links to any files your using that would be of help.:D , that is if your on windows 7
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Sure...

Eclipse

Android SDK

Follow the indications of my previous link ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butler1970:
Word of caution

I hate to discourage anyone from following their hearts desires especially when it comes to software development. But I wanted to share some advice with you coming from an experienced software engineer. I've been developing software for over 15 years. My experience comes mainly from developing Windows desktop applications in C/C++. I've also been developing software using Java for several years so I'm by no means new to Java technology or development tools.

I've only recently started to develop for the Android platform. It didn't take me long to get started (i.e. get the development environment setup and start developing using the AVD manager) but as I dig into it I'm finding that the Android platform has become very much like developing Windows applications which is interesting to find because I really haven't done a lot of user interface development using Java. In the past my Java development projects have always been more back end server integration related to App Servers and database integration (i.e. Apache/Tomcat, JSP, Oracle, etc.).

I have seen user interface development libraries in Java such as Swing in the past but haven't had a real need for them. So to tell you the truth I can't say how much better or worse the Android SDK user interface libraries are than the traditional JDK 1.4 libraries.

All of this is to say that when I say this you know it's coming from someone that isn't just learning how to program. My advice to you is that if you haven't done much Java development in the past that Android development is not the place to start. You might want to start with the basics first like just setting up a simple Java program and learning the technology first before you jump head long into something.

I've done that more times than I can count in my long career and I can tell you from experience it's the surest way to fail before you get started.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripartist1:
thanks but...

i tried to use those files, but still the same problem, they wont launch/ install...in your post it says to launch them from the folder, correct...? the problem is, THEY WONT LAUNCH AT ALL...no UI for anything, just a quick flash of the cmd window for both of them and a pop up window for eclipse...

***i wasnt yelling, just frustrated... :mad:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elesbb:
First. DELETE EVERYTHING FROM DOWNLOADED FILES TO EXTRACTED FILE GET RID OF ALL OF IT then clear trash can.

THen ensure the JDK is successfully installed by opening command prompt and typing "java -version" you should have build 1.7 or higher. If not, you may download it here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html

Download this http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and pick the one that has "Recommended" next to it.

after you have that downloaded. FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO A T! NO SHORTCUTS WHAT SO EVER!

Then once everything is downloaded. simply FOLLOW ME again TO A T! and if you follow that you should get everything working. And seriously, FOLLOW IT TO A T! do not take shortcuts do not try to do more than one thing at a time just take it step by step. I had no problems getting it up and running by following that last link.

Hope that helps and BE PATIENT :) you will get to play around soon enough :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tripartist1:
thank you very much. i have what i need now, although i think i figured out my problem...stupid me was viewing the archive for eclipse instead of extracting the files to a separate folder, where the shortcut appeared!. thank you as it was your instructions that led me to my problem. :D

[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Hi,

I've got an unbranded HTC One X with Root, CWM, Faux123 Kernel, Unlocked Bootloader. I'm on 1.28 Stock ROM and I'd like to update to 1.29.

I have tried removing root, flashing stock recovery, flashing stock kernel and updating via the OTA software update, but when it reboots into stock recovery, the loading goes to about one third, gets stuck and the icon in the middle becomes a phone with a red triangle.

I am asking on this forum as I know everyone on here (except me) is amazing!

What should I do? I don't want to erase all my data unless I absolutely have to or it is guaranteed to work.

Thanks a bunch,

ORStoner :)
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Yeah,there have been several posts about this,even i had a problem with the 1.29.So far there is no actual solution and nobody knows for sure what is the problem.It has been sayd that has something to do with the CID because our phones are unlocked.

I've tryed everything and it didn't work,but all of the sudden,last night i was trying to install some mods,and one of them i didn't read the instructions and wasn't made for my stock 1.28 so the only solution i had was to do a nandroid backup.The only backup that i had in my phone was a 1.28 backup (loogicaly) but it was an old backup without the SU installed,it was basicaly a backup of the clean,stock 1.28 so i had to do that one.Atfer i done the backup the phone asked me again if i want to update...so i selected yes again.I don't know why but after doing this it worked like a charm,the new 1.29.401.11 was installed,after that i've reflashed CWM and SuperSU and now is working perfectly.

I think that the update stops because of a mod that you have on you'r phone or something.Did you installed any mod to it,like...3 dot removal for example?If yes,install the reverse (or do a nandroid backup if you have one) and basicaly it should work after that.
[HTC One X] ORStoner:
Thanks for your response.

Yeah, I did install that mod but I reverted it when I tried to update.

I also only have a nandroid for after I did everything :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Archpope:
If I send a text message from the default messaging app, I get a "Text Message Not Sent" message, and if someone sends me a message, instead of showing up with their name, it has a number I don't recognize, but their name will be appended to the message. I don't have these issues if I use Google Voice.

I KNOW it has something to do with GV settings, but I've tried everything I can think of to reset it, including clear data on both apps, uninstall and reinstall of GV. I even tried changing radios. I really do NOT want to do a factory reset. I suppose I can use the rather anemic GV app for texts, but if someone texts my "real" phone number, I think I won't get notified of it.

Is there some setting I'm missing, or some third-party app that can unify texting across both numbers?
