[Nexus S General] m.sabra:
Hello there,

many threads here in General and in QA,are asking about the best ROM,the best Kernel,or the best combo to get the highest performance and a lag free experience,i was also trying of finding the best combination,but i decided to do it the hard way,i started flashing and flashing,tweaking kernel settings trying to achieve the greatest performance.

at the end i achieved a combo that's making my nexus s run super smoothly with full trebuchet animations and good game experience (running N.O.V.A 3 without any lag :D ) anyway here is what i tried,it's pretty stable with me and offer a great performance (though battery isn't that good well that's the price of performance)

Hi

There`s some way to completely format the Nexus ? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Yeah relock and unlock your bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carloscarvalho:
Thank you :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Np
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That does nothing more than erase the userdata partition. It does not format the device, nor does it erase the system, boot, recovery or cache partitions. (For example, if you've installed an app to the system partition, if you lock and unlock your bootloader, it will still be there.

If you want to format the device, you need to run the following commands in fastboot:

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase cache

Or, you could create a little script that would do the same thing in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carloscarvalho:
Thank you :beer:

I will do that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infazzdar:
Does unlocking the boot loader wipe the portion of /data/ that is symlinked to /sdcard/?

..does it wipe the sdcard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes.

But there is a way around it if you have root.

Hi guys I would to like to purchase good ear phones for HTC one x ( my budget is

update: thanks guys for awesome recommendation

I brought these cheap Philips earphones for 10$ and they work great

Audéo perfect fit earphones. Think they were 120ish a year or so ago when I bought them. Absolutely love them.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Berserk87:
This is a headphone question, doesnt really have anything to do with your phone.

'Klipsch image s4' are probably the highest recommended headphones i've seen.

Basically every audiophile forum recommends them as a best bang for your buck option.

http://www.amazon.ca/Klipsch-IMAGE-S4-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B001V9LPT4

I also recommend disabling beats audio while using them.

You should also try to use flac audio formats or at worst 320kbps mp3's.

flac is compressed but lossless audio, like a digital version of a cd.

if you want to play with flac, you are most likely going to need to buy power amp, for $5.

Y would anyone wanna buy headphones that sound better without beats? Thats just dumb man!! Get urself some beats buds. 60.00 bucks on ebay. I love mine!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Uh, because both the Beats eq curve and Beats headphones suck. It's a marketing ploy. Get yourself some Shures, Grados, AKGs, Audio Technicas, or Beyerdynamics and you'll hear what music is supposed to sound like.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] d.cortez:
might i add westone 3's? :) definitely on the higher end, but they sound superb with or w/o beats processing. i prefer no beats, period.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1earful:
i have older klipsch in-ears (no controls) which i really like. but right now my headphones of preference for the 1x are the phiaton ps20 bluetooth semi-in ears. they do have player control and a mike for use with phone calls. i like not having to worry about the headphones plugging into the phone and then accidentally ripping them out of the socket because i forgot i was connected and suddenly got up to do something. the phiatons have actually picked up some pretty decent reviews. might be worth taking a look.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I haven't had the pleasure of trying out a pair of westones, but I have heard good things about them. I use Shure E5C (dual driver) and se550 (triple driver) IEMs for my out and about listening, love them both.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] christophernftl:
These Klipsch are what I use and they are amazing, can't recommend them enough.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] t3chn0s1s:
Uh, I'm a DJ and I know what good headphones sound like. I'm using a pair of manufacturer refurbished Diddy Beats that I bought thru Monster for $79.99 and they sound effing Amazing. All the other brands Metal mentioned are hella good too. Just my 2 cents, I figured with Beats Audio software why not try out the headphones of the same brand. Again just my humble opinion. To each his own.

Thanks guys for all your suggestions. Definitely narrowed my choices.:thumbup:

Anyone tired Bose mobile earphones which are around 100 bucks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] darktranquility18:
Dont go mainstream brands like Bose, Beats, etc. You're just wasting your money to be honest. Ima recommend the V-Moda Crossfade LPs as they are closed-back(Great isolation), sexy as hell(seriously check em out), competitively priced($110-150) and most importantly, sound incredible.

Here's a link:

http://www.amazon.com/Crossfade-Ove...Headphone-Phantom/dp/B003BYRGLI/ref=pd_cp_e_0

The mic is detachable as well so thats always a plus. It comes with two cables. One with volumes controls and another with a mic. Def check it out if you get a chance.

AND remember to use Poweramp with SRS enhancements when you listen to music. The 'Beats' audio is just a gimmick and marketing ploy. Doesnt bring anything but muddy bass to the table.

My $0.02. Hopefully this is informative.

:D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
Thank you a lot. I would definitely check them out. Poweramp - app right ? ( sorry new to android )

Update.: those are really good and nice reviews but I cannot use them while driving cycling . Something portable( ear phones)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] darktranquility18:
Oh sorry I didnt see that if you mentioned it before. Um only two decent options.

Theres the Klipsch S4i. Its really really good for the price.

http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-S4i-P...ef=sr_1_9?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1340547717&sr=1-9

Theres also the Bose you mentioned. They sound pretty good. Not overwhelming. Especially for that price.

http://www.amazon.com/Bose-326223-0...=1340547656&sr=1-1&keywords=earphone+with+mic

Id recommend going with the klipsch for now though.

Anyone know of any good earbuds under $50? the last time i spent money on headphones over $100 i ended up regretting it lol.

i'm no audiophile so i'm not loyal to any brands or anything. just as long as they sound decent.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raytraceme:
NEVER get BEATS or BOSE. Both companies are like apple. Good marketing bad product. Also with the one x you have the option to use srs sound with poweramp. Use that. It's way better than beats enhancement and the sound is far better and sweeter.

I recommend the vmoda vibrato $130 (cheaper on ebay) They are built like tanks and are loved by the audiophile bass heads. They don't vibrate, but they have some of the best bass you can find in an earphone.

http://www.amazon.com/Vibrato-Noise...&qid=1340573332&sr=8-1&keywords=vmoda+vibrato

the klipsch s4i $70 (cheaper on ebay)

or the monster miles davis trumpets $270, if you have the money.

For under $50 you are best off with the klipsch s4.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Berserk87:
bose headphones are completely overpriced garbage, the same as all there other products.

bose products tend to lack range and be VERY expensive, DO NOT EVER BUY BOSE.

Beats headphones tend to be overpriced garbage.

If you can get some monster turbine pro's for a really good price, then go for it.

I got monster turbine pro's for $130.

I must say, I'm rather loving my Brainwavz R1 at the moment.

Easily one of the better sub-$100 IEMs I've heard. Not quite as good as my Xears, but they're also not falling apart like my Xears were. The "atmosphere" on them is alot better on them as well, which is to be expected of a dual-driver IEM.

Definitely not for bassheads though.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Some may laugh but I use these: CL wp350

For the price they work really really well. I broke the screen on my OneXL dropping it on cement because the headphone wire caught on something so I decided to go bluetooth and I'm not dissapointed at all. I would say the sound quality is on par with a wired headset of similar pricing. Though, the mic sucks. Had I known, I would have bought the wp300s instead and saved some money.

These are cool, buying tonight!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NexusS4gFreak:
I personally love how my apple earpods (new design) work on my one x with beats profile on. They are loud, cancel out enough outside noise, and provide nothing but pure music when i listen to them with no fade tone or ambient noise. Have good bass and just the right amount of treble, can also touch the mid tones good. I am a audiophile and there are a lot of better earphones out there but for the price (i payed ~6 dollars on amazon) you cant get better.

Does all Headphones 3.5 mm Jack supports one Xl ? if not how to choose a correct head phones for one xl.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
If you mean purely just headphones (not microphone or controls) then yes, virtually any headphones with a 3.5mm jack will work.

If you want the microphone and controls, the mic will usually work but the buttons can be hit or miss. Some buttons may work, or headphones that are intended to work on Android phones (there aren't many) will typically work. Headsets meant for iPhone, the buttons won't work (again, the mic should) or just partially. But I've seen a couple apps that supposedly make the buttons function correctly.

Some higher end headphones that are intended as "HiFi" or "audiophone" have a higher impedance than smartphones can handle. Basically, the phone won't output enough voltage to drive these types of headphones properly. They will still work, but they just may not be as loud as you like.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Berserk87:
fyi, if you go on ANY audio forum and try to say bose or beats headphones are good, you will get laughed off the forum.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 1earful:
true. i've been a member of headfi for years and noobs do get beaten down on those choices. but the truth is that most of us do not have "golden ears." it's whatever floats your boat, just as choices in music are a matter of taste. i'm just grateful we've come to the day and age when folks use headphones so i don't have to worry about anyone else's musical choices or have them look cross-eyed at mine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SoberGuy:
On the Klipsch, a heads up here. The S4i is for.....iPhone/iPod. The S4a is the same product, but for Android. You have to remember Apple reversed their control crap, so controls on headphones designed for Apple products are useless on Android.

In my humble opinion, the S4a doesn't sound quite as nice with Beats. I'll reinstall poweramp tomorrow and give it a spin. Too much Absolut tonight to tell :-)

Still sober. Sorta. Haha
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pianoblack:
Here's something off the beaten path for those feeling a little more experimental:

Using a Bluetooth apt-X headphones/transceiver: bypass the headphone amp (if it's particularly noisy [ref. GSMArena review by supercurio**] and go straight to wireless transmission. The Bluetooth apt-X (as available on the HOX) is touted as having a near CD-quality transmit rate, but not all headphones support it. If you don't want to lock yourself in to a single set of headphones (although Sennheiser's MM series have won accolades from head-fi's editor), you can use a bluetooth headset (such as the Samsung HS3000) which allows you to plug in your own set of headphones.

Pros: - bypass headphone jack circuitry.

- wireless in most scenarios

Cons: - more of a battery drain

- not lossless

Switch up your music player app : besides Poweramp, there's Player Pro and JetAudio, which claim to have either purer playback or great EQ enhancements (potentially, BBE effects on JetAudio)

Pros: - cheap, if not free, way to improve playback

Cons: - may not make much of a difference and can be headphones-specific.

**Edit: Just found out that HOXL, AT&T HOX and HTC One S, all with Qualcomm's S4, uses Qualcomm's own audio chip set WCD9310, which has much better audio performance [1, 2]. So for these phones, you don't have to worry about noise or poor dynamic range.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SoberGuy:
Pianoblack, I appreciate the suggestion. I'll have to look into that HS3000. I usually listen to music at work, and would appreciate the mobility that would offer. To date I haven't been too impressed with Bluetooth headsets, but something like that which allows me to.connect the buds/headset of my choose just might do trick.

How's the quality, both in build and sound? I understand it's Bluetooth, so I don't expect perfection. Thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] darktranquility18:
To be honest, ur better off getting an adapter like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Ericsson-Hi-Fi-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B003DQ1DCM

Then using your own headphones with it. Every bluetooth headset i heard tried have been pretty bad. One exception though:

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MM-400-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B002NZZIFW/

Theyre almost audiophile quality and portable

Oh didnt realise the HS3000 is the same idea. Yea thats what I was going for. Good stuff
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pianoblack:
Don't have it in my hands yet! I'll post in here when I do OP will surely deliver with the random assortment of headphones I have (Senn earbuds MX580, light Senn headphones HD 228, in-ears Hifiman RE 262 and large open headphones Beyerdynamics DT-880 (more for home listening without the tether, but this is a somewhat impractical scenario)).

Sound-wise, it's supposed to be "almost as good as wired", with the codec capable of 370kbps (ie. sufficient for most mp3s, but not lossless formats). Connection is generally smooth, after initial connection drop-outs.

Build-wise, Amazon reviewers find it sturdy enough in most environments, but the call button is easily activated by accident. A workaround is to only connect with 'Audio' mode, if you don't think you'll need to use the microphone function.

Here are some other reviews I've found with more detail:

- Discussion on XDA (I like the tip that the bluetooth receiver can be used as a remote shutter.)

- Mobile-Review

- Impressions on Head-fi.org : [1, ]

Definitely would be interested in testing this setup. Considering the investment in existing in-ears/headphones others may have, I'm hoping the bluetooth receiver is a satisfactory substitute.

Its made for Android! Rejoice!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SoberGuy:
Good call, I didn't even roll over to see the box. That's great!

Finally got a chance to play around with the Klipsch S4a and various players, Beats on and off. For the stock player, I do prefer Beats on. I'm not crazy about the sound, but it is better with Beats on.

Using Player Pro and the EQ there, I'm much happier with Beats OFF. By far. I've got a good variety of music to listen to, everything from classical (piano, courtesy of Tchaikovsky, cello via Bach, etc) to hip-hop and rap (Eminem, Tupac, Biggie, Warren G and Nate Dogg, Timbaland, etc) to alternative/rock (Tool, RATM, Alice in Chains, etc). I do tweak the EQ according to what I'm listening to, usually with a custom profile and not a standard preset.

I definitely prefer Player Pro with Beats off. The Klipsch sound so much better that way. Kind of average with Beats, and full of life without.

Quick edit: Neptunes FTW. Yeah, Player Pro without Beats and these things come to life with the Neptunes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chivamex10:
Lol I just did a quick comparison with my old apple earbuds and the klipsch's. Apple earbuds with the beats software on vs the klipsch's with the software off sounded just the same.

Everyone's different. For me I prefer actual headphones. Earbuds can only do do much. Especially when it comes to bass. I wouldn't spend over $50 for earbuds.

I use the Nokia Purity HD by monster. They don't exaggerate when it comes to bass like the beats by dre do. They also have good mids and hi's. Noise cancellation works well, to the point where it could become dangerous if you aren't aware of your surroundings lol.

Yeah monster is mainstream which means they are way overpriced/overrated but to say they are "garbage" is taking it too far. I'm sure theres plenty of other brands out there that are much better. I'm an audiophile myself when it comes to car audio and I cringe when people say they have Sony xplode/kicker etc. I get it. When it comes to headphones and earbuds though I really can't see myself spending more than $100 so I'm very happy with my Nokia purity's. I spend way more time in my car so I invest a lot more there...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Earbuds can do a lot more than what people think. A good iem can pull its weight and then some, but when you reach a certain price point it doesn't really matter unless you have a better source for the music.

I am a big fan of the URBeats headphones that at&t has... $99 with controls and mic sounds amazing
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] guizzy:
My first suggestion is to avoid Beats like the plague. Got the Wireless ones, which are essentially Beats Solo with added bluetooth. Feature and design wise, they're actually great. The bluetooth works very well, they look good, they come with a good set of accessories. They do fail, however, where it counts the most: the sound. The bass on those manages to be both too powerful, yet muddy and undefined. It sounds like you're listening to music coming from a car with oversized subwoofer, through a concrete wall. I get tired listening to them in no time.

Personally, I'm partial to Sennheiser. My daily drivers are MX470's. They're a great bang for your buck, though no mic. The sound is perfectly acceptable for earbuds, they're easy to listen to and they don't attract nearly as much attention as (expensive and expensive-looking) cans do.

Or look into IEMs, though there's not much I can tell you about those. I'm unable to use them: I got weird ears and all IEMs are too uncomfortable for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
Thanks everyone. Currently I am in India, brought these philips earphones with Mic for 15$(800 rs) , so that I can use them while I am here. The sound and clarity is very good for this price.
