[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ckoral:
dry sauna

my sauna runs 205 degree's @ 20% humidity. My cycles last about 15 to 25 minutes. I don't care about the battery. I care about the stickers turning pink. I don't use the device for much other than using team viewer to control my laptop that is pumping tunes, and once in a while to tunnel into work to pick up some oncall tickets.

I know it sounds pathetic that I have to use electronics in the sauna, but I take a sauna about 5 nights a week. I sure would like to hear from someone who does this all the time (specifically about the pink stickers). Also, if it does overheat the processor, what happens, and has anyone experienced that. Other issues? I do have the Best Buy warranty.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EggosEvo:
I have been searching around and can't find out how exactly I should go about flashing a custom ROM on the Hero. Yes, before anyone says it, I am a noob at this, and this will be my first time flashing a ROM(if i could ever figure it out). I have the latest stable version of CyanogenMod 7, which i believe is 7.1.0, and the GApps package to go along with it. Both are on the root of my SD card. I rooted with Z4root, downloaded ROM Manager, and chose the setting to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery. Should I flash using ROM Manager, or should I boot into CWM Recovery and flash from there? If possible, does anyone have a video that could help me along with this? The video posted in the video thread for this device is down. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttakacs:
Boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery and flash from there.

BTW, I'm running the latest release candidate for 7.2. Works perfectly for me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EggosEvo:
I ended up finding a video on how to flash through CWM. I also later downloaded one of the CM 7.2 RCs, believe RC2. Now my next question is, do I need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache if I update to a newer version of CM, like a newer RC of 7.2 or one of the early beta versions of CM9?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttakacs:
Wipe cache etc. when flashing a later version of CM7 over an earlier version. Do a wipe data/factory reset when flashing CM7 over CM9.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hmoobphajej:
It has always been a safe route whenever you flash a new rom to just wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Yes.

[General Questions and Answers] btmullins:
I'm looking to pick up an Android tablet, and have a budget of $250 to $300. I'm wanting to get something that will last, and is compatible with the largest amount of apps. I have been looking at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, but am not sure if it is the right choice for me.

I hope to do some web browsing, general gaming and hopefully get into programming. Off topic but I'm a total newbie at programming so I'm looking at Basic4Android.

Any suggestions?
[HTC One X] Hydrony:
Im thinking about buying the new LG optimus 4x. But I cant find a single review, that mentions the audio quality on this phone. But it has the Tegra 3 chipset, so if the DAC is part of this, I could check a one x, to get an idea of the audio quality. Would be great, if someone could help me out :)
[HTC One X] h00py:
I'm sure if you asked in a phone shop they might let you plug your headphones in and listen to some of the pre loaded music files. :D
[HTC One X] Hydrony:
Hmmm, well then I need a good headset first :D here in Germany they never have the phones in shops, I am interested in :D so I have to rely on what the internet says
[HTC One X] Ansem:
the GS3 have a wolfsonn,no one know what have the HOX?
[HTC One X] Gibeon:
I don't know what's in the HOX but it pretty much sucks balls. You can even hear a *poof* when the music starts and a few seconds after it stops, not to mention the crappy sound itself.
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
@Gibeon - you must have a faulty phone as I don't get any of that

OP - Really is very reliant on the quality of your audio files I find, poor quality mp3's will sound TERRIBLE, worse than on some other phones. If it's high quality FLAC rips then the sound quality is really very good for a phone, better than the Desire I used to have for example and miles better than the iPod I used to have.

I have Denon in ear for going out and about with and a couple of quite high end (full size over ear) headphones and good quality files sound really good through them. The one thing I would say is that the output volume is not as high as some other phones I have tried, so you do need quite sensitive headphones if you like your music loud.

No idea what the DAC is but for me it's a great portable music player. No such thing as audiophile in any phone but it's definitely one of the better ones i have tried.
[HTC One X] Gibeon:
Really? I've heard several cases of this behavior so I guessed it a widespread problem.

GSMarena has put the real specs to the test, here they are.
[HTC One X] mr_pio:
I also find the OneX sound much worse than on the desire. Beats only changes it from tinny to plasticky. It is so much worse, actually (both on stock earphones and via car stereo) that I no longer enjoy listening to music from the phone in my car, the sound gets on my nerves.

Instead of shelling out gazillions for having the name of a makebelieve gangster on their stuff, htc could have bought millions of decent audio chips and still give them a catchy name :( That would be the htc spirit I always liked.
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
I've seen the GSM Arena article, and I can only talk from personal experience based on my phone not yours. I do not have the issues you mention at all. Could be a bad batch of components hence why some are better than others. I've seen plenty of people say it's great quality, plenty of people say it's crap, so would seem to point towards that logically.
[HTC One X] schiphol:
This is due to the player you're using. I swear by neutron. The ui might be a bit overwhelming for non audiophiles, but I'm getting some great sound with this app and beats disabled.

After some time with this phone, I'm finding the hox's sound to be quite different, but not necessarily of lesser quality compared to my old sgs1 with voodoo.

My advice would be to just change your music app and if you don't like neutron as I proposed, you could go with power amp or player pro with dsp pack.

On a final note, make sure you get your hands on a decent pair of headphones before commenting on the quality of a Dac. You can't really make any assumptions about these kinds of things if your basing your experience on a free or a $30 pair of ear buds.
[HTC One X] Fears:
Well mine has perfect sound , you either have a faulty phone or your expectations were unrealistically high.
[HTC One X] Raider0001:
The sound is not the best in the world but its much much better then Galaxy S with voodoo sound while playing at the highest volume, at highest its just awesome stable with this beatsaudio thingy :D tested using Sennheiser HD 555, mind you galaxy S3 has a cheaper version of op amp used in S1.

The HTC One X have the very best sound in every angle: microphone/speaker/headphones/ear speaker
[HTC One X] Meltus:
The volume and quality through the headset is good, unfortunately the loudspeaker is rather poor and doesn't go very loud. Typical HTC though, their speaker components tend to be rather low quality.

LG tend to have alright speakers (The Optimus 2X went fairly loud), but I can't say whether the 4X's will be any good or not :p

EDIT: I realise you were specifically asking about the quality rather than the volume. The quality is pretty good, you wont be disappointed by it. The Galaxy S III supposedly has fantastic audio quality though, which is likely to be better than the One X's due to the fact that the One X uses 'Beats' (which sucks) and the SIII has a Wolfson Micro WM1811 which is apparently pretty awesome (http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/products/audio_hubs/WM1811/). :)
[HTC One X] Raider0001:
yeah right "ultra-low power" is just rubbish
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
It's not. I've tried a number of different music players, different EQ's, different thread priority for the audio. All exhibit the same fundamental problems arising from a poor quality DAC. Heck, even the volume up/down sound causes the pop/crackle issue.

I've tried 5 different sets of headphones on my One X, some in ear, some open back, one Bluetooth. The same problems could be heard on all of them in varying degrees.
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
If your guys phones are rooted, flash the latest dspequalizer on this phone. Helps tremendously with sound quality. I agree with the person talking about flac files. You don't even need to have flac, just try to get high bitrate mp3s. I listen with Beyerdynamic headphones which take more power to drive, but it's enough for me and sounds great.
[HTC One X] Gibeon:
I totally agree and I don't think my Grado SR60i's or Shure SE215's are to blame. Really, the quality just sucks on the HOX I own.

No biggie for me though, since I have a PMP for music. :)
[HTC One X] schiphol:
Of course the dac is not the best. The point I was trying to make is that I was able to eliminate most of the hissing and strange pops upon volume changes etc by switching to the neutron player leading me to be believe that these are not necessarily related to the Dac itself.
[HTC One X] muamers:
With my beats headsets i have excellent audio quality, didnt try the original one...and the sound from the speaker? Well i dont know what you expect, in my eyes it is good enough (i dont listen to music over it) ... and BTW, i use well ripped mp3s because over the beats headset you can hear every single detail in songs ... youtube is also great ...

I dont know, but probably i have a special OneX :confused: i dont have any single issue the guys so far had reported ... i am just confused now why i dont get a S-OFF device :D
[HTC One X] Hydrony:
As far as I know, the beats audio plugin is only a peace of software, isn't it? It has nothing to do with special hardware, its just an equalizer setting. But I'm confused :D some sites say, the one x's audio chip is the same, that is build in the one s, but the explanation of the Tegra 3 chipset says, that it is able to handle 7.1 surround sound, which means it includes an audio chip. I think I have to wait for reviews of the optimus 4x to solve this problem :D
[HTC One X] muamers:
It is a peace of software on HTC, but if you have a "peace of hardware" like urBeats, iBeats, Beats Solo HD, Studio Beats etc., then the "peace of software" becomes AWESOME SOUND EXPERIENCE :cool:
[HTC One X] Rahulg247:
If the DAC is the same as the one on the Transformer Prime Tegra 3 then it is a Realtek one. I think this is likely to be the case as I think the DAC is part of Tegra 3.

Its not the best but if you disable beats and install DSP manager and select the Rock equalizer it sounds quite decent. However, in my opinion, the Wolfson DAC in the SGS 1 is better.

I like listening to music and I think the SQ is decent once DSP manager is installed.

You don't need to be rooted to install it - Link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1636914&highlight=dsp+manager

After owning a Optimus 2x i'd be wary of gtting a 4x. Lots of problems
[HTC One X] convert:
My subjective sound comparison

Hi

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] ajc158:
The sound quality is pretty average, which I why I got an AptX Bluetooth headphone setup - the sound quality through that and a decent set of headphones is really nice.

But if sound is important to you, and you want to plug in directly (or don't like the idea of having to maintain yet another battery on the Bluetooth dongle), then I would advise against a HOX.

Beats audio is just an S-curve EQ, which is great if you listen to some music types, but not for most of what I listen to.

I love mine though - the battery lasts me 2 days with 4hrs screen in normal use, and the screen is a revelation.
[HTC One X] sheamus:
I can tell you that music sounds noticeably worse than on my iPhone 4. If you listened to iPhone vs HOX back to back it would be noticable to most people. The consensus is that the S4 version of HOX sounds much better than the Tegra. I only have the Tegra version so I can't confirm this.

I wouldn't call my self an audiophile, but I do appreciate sound quality. I have $100 set of ear bud, no some skull candy crap, and not $500 j-phonics. So middle of the road.

I love my HOX, and I paid cash for it because my iPHone contract wasn't up for another year. But I suspect I may end up getting rid of it if something else catches my eye, as I listen to music all day at work, and it just isn't as enjoyable on my HOX.

As others have mentioned there is a hiss. Not like a leaking tire, but there it is there.

[HTC One X] beno619:
That's really strange compared to my ipod touch using the bundled HTC earphones or bundled urBeats sound quality from the HOX is far superior, can't imagine sound quality of an ipod differs to much to the iPhone?
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
I own a pair of Klipsch inear and using with Power Amp it works good ... It's true what they say You cannot satisfy everyone :)
[HTC One X] sheamus:
I would guess iPod and iPhone use same DAC.

Do you have decent buds? I get a flat bassy sound even with beats one. no bass or treble. Maybe if I play with equalizers a bit, this can get better...

When listening to music if a notification chimes, there is a crackle.

If you want to hear picky, head over head-fi.org forums and listen to them ***** about the Tegra DAC. Apparently the S3 has a really good Wolfson.

So you have good headphones. Maybe I need to play with EQ.
[HTC One X] uptheironsrafi:
I bought the HTC One X from Bangladesh (Bashundhara City), and have not faced any problems so far.. I understand that your dad is going to bring it from UK, but if at all possible, I would suggest you to buy it from Bangladesh. There are quite a few shops which allow you to open the box and check the handsets for faults before you make any transaction. It is a safer bet that blind buying the phone.

I did not even consider the SGS 3 for 2 reasons: It is butt ugly, and the amoled screen totally washes out in the scorching Bangladeshi summer...
[HTC One X] sheamus:
@uptheironsrafi

????

@all

Well I was about to buy the pro versio of Double Twist. I love the interface. But couldn't find a way to test their EQ. So I downloaded Poweramp. I basically lowered the base and treble slightly on the Rock preset, and it is really a whole new experience. Quite happy now. I'd like to try the doubletwist equalizers; I know there only 5 vs. 10 in Poweramp, but that is likely enough. I find Poweamp a little quirky; sometimes doesn't render properly when task switching to it, and shows incorrect album art sometimes. I need to start a thread comparing the two...

Cheers.

I'm using CM9 A2 right now. I don't know how, but one of my friend switched the 'car mode' on. Now my phone rotates 360° and ALL calls directly go to speaker phone.

I had got 'car mode' on notification once. Then it never came back. But I definitely saw it.

if you guys get stuck in clockwordmod, simply go to the main menu of it but hitting power button, then HOLD power button... capac lights will blink a couple times, and the device will reboot.

Use TWRP and for gods sake done use ROM manager.

Learn how to do things in recovery. Its painfully easy and work 100% of the time. Unlike ROM Manager.

Rom Manager cant save you when it causes a problem and the phone bootloops.

all you guys that are trying to use clockwork are not doing enough research or something because i have seen it over and over a thousand times that its not working for this phone. you have to use TWRP!!! dont ya think something is wrong when everyone thats trying to use it is having problems? lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] geniustheanimal:
I've been running CM as my recovery for a couple weeks now. Sometimes in ClockworkMod, repeated use of the volume up/down buttons can trigger a 'back button disabled' message. When this happens, it becomes unable to select any of the menu options, leaving you with just the logo until you hit power again. For the CM version on the LTEvo, for some reason, the 'back button disabled' mode is the default starting point.

To overcome this, simply repeatedly press volume up &/or down in rapid succession; it usually takes me less than 10 seconds of pressing them. You will know that it worked when you see a message at the bottom stating 'back button enabled'. At this time, you can navigate and select menu items as normal. :)

Its still not 100% functional as a recovery, however, as USB storage does not work yet.

I've also been using ROM Manager to facilitate my back ups and restores with no problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
So why would you use a non functional recovery over one that works 100%
