[LG Optimus 4X HD] Arne_B:
I always use my mobile phone(s) to play music in the car.

Before my LG I used a Galaxy Mini. Sound on that device was good, but not super great. Some tweaks in the equalizer fixed that. But whenever I charged my phone in the car I had this very loud background noise/distortion. That sucked big time.

According to GSMArena the sound quality of the Galaxy Mini is very good. Weird?

Now about my LG 4X HD, which according to GSMArena isn't that good. (How could that be worse than a 99 euro phone?)

The sound quality is even better in my car, I need less tweaks for the equalizer. The bass levels are more spread (in the PowerAmp Bas Tone knob) compared to the Galaxy Mini. My Galaxy Mini had issues with the middle tones, the LG just sounds good at every tone level.

And most of all, I don't have any glitch or noise/distortion anymore when charging the phone.

So I don't know where GSMArena got their bad result from, but my phone just does great.

I also was doubting about buying this phone because audio quality is important to me. I read the review from GSMArena just before I was about to buy it. But I didn't believe them, that bad results for headphone audio were impossible for such an expensive device. So I just bought it. And I can tell you, I didn't regret it. It sounds perfect.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AwesomeTurtle:
According to the review, they didn't want to believe it either; they said that it may have been a defective handset and that they would retest with a different P880 and post results if necessary.

But all that aside, I've chosen the O4X (potential options included the Galaxy Note, Nexus 4, HTC One S, and BBK Vivo X1). Thanks, dudes.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tpr0:
You can look at Wolfson DAC enabled phones, thats the highest class of DACs, even Cirrus sometimes...

Cirrus:

-$Phone

-Vivo X1

(though this below, always beat those two, with/without mods)

Wolfson:

-Galaxy SIII

-Galaxy S1

-Atrix 4G

-LG Optimus 2x

-Nexus S

-Galaxy Note II

-Galaxy R

*ASUS Transformer TF101

*Moto Xoom

Even though most of them are mid-range to low-end, they still beat most of the new phones today...

Since Wolfson DACs are expensive, Samsung only include them on flash ship property, hit market stream, or concept phone...

E.g: Wofson DAC costs 30 bux... For 1000 devices, it would cost Samsung $30000.

Using ST-Ericsson, costs 10 bux, For 1000 devices, it would cost Samsung $10000.

Galaxy SIII is the first Samsung's quad core phone.

LG optimus 2x was the first phone with dual core processor.

Atrix 4G was the second dual core phone with the latest features...

Galaxy R is an improvement for the SII... Since the SII used a bulky Yamaha DAC...

And HEY even the Galaxy NOTE! It used a bulky Yamaha DAC. Thats why they used a high-end DAC on the Note II. Get it?

Proof: Compare the phones that i'v listed, on GSMarena.com all the Audio quality review sections says "Excellent" or whatever...

Currently I own an Atrix 4G, very pleased with it...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dante501:
That's why you have equalizer to tweak and pimp the sound. Plus the right head phones that give the sound back in the way it was intended too and there is no problem.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] indslycon:
I've just got one of these and haven't been able to get it to play Apple Lossless files in an m4a container, will I need to transcode these files to FLAC or is there a software player that works with AAC?

I've tried the built in player, andLess, Winamp and Songbird to no avail...

Thanks
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AwesomeTurtle:
I came into this well aware of which phones have which DAC (I'm also a regular reader of GSMArena audio quality tests), and I have already withdrawn the O4X from my list of potential next phones for that reason; figured it might be up to snuff, but I won't take my chances. I'm trapped between an international Galaxy S III and the iPhone 4S. Both have good enough support for external DAC/AMPs out of the box and ultra-low distortion levels, which can make for some fun experiments down the line. Leaning toward Samsung because of SDXC expansion (as opposed to ~16gb + cloud streaming, which I'm not a big fan of).

Edit: of course, I could just get a higher-capacity i4S. Choices!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] indslycon:
Seems Poweramp plays my apple lossless files so problem solved. Sound quality seems fine through my HD25-IIs.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] shazmekool:
My Optimus 4X sounds as good as SGS2 however I am never a big fan of original earphones with devices so I use SoundMagic E10 and it sounds so much better.

But I can confirm that GSMArena had got faulty earphones because my earphones sounds pleasant :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tom_12_24:
Background noise at 6200hz

I am not sure if i just have a faulty handset, but a high pitch whine is present when listening through headphones when the music player is active or playing music (even with volume put down to zero, the whine is still present at the same volume) This whine also occurs if you open the phone app or anything that may normally have sounds. It would appear that it occurs when the headphones are "on".

I plugged my phone into my computer to analyse the spectrum and there is a big peak right at 6200-6400 hz, which is the approximate freq at which i can hear the whine (see image attached).

Has anyone else had this issue? Or know of a way to solve it?

I am also going to try to get an response from LG

Never had this issue before. Perhaps try to return it for a new one?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Jazzax:
Hi, I was wondering what your outcome was? I too have this problem....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] saenta:
I'm also having this problem. Unusable for listening music over headphone jack.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Arne_B:
I don't have this at all, even when I connect my phone to an amplifier I get no whining noise at all. So you guys might have a faulty PCB/audio part. I don't really think there's any solution for this, except RMA. :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
Distortion in built-in speaker isn't important, can easly be avoided with sound management mods and with proper DSP manager settings (reducing some frequencies should help), The sound quality is good, I only feel some distortion in sound when I use max volume (the custom kernel I'm using changed maximum volume so It's normal)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] juanacevedo:
I have no sound issues and with DSP it sounds amazing. No whining or static
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kdeuley:
I haven't had any issues either. You might look into flashing the pure audio engine in the themes and apps section, it made headphone quality a bit better.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] saenta:
I have mine back from support, they repaired someting, but till tomorrow I cant ask what exactly, but problem still exists. Tested with Beyerynamic dt1350, T90 and Brainwavz M5 and over AUX with my Hifi system. I really think its bad SOC problem. will return it to support tomorrow once again.

Alot of headphones and headset are made for iPhone.

wanted make one spot where people can list android compatible mic and all 3 buttons (not one button or 3button that only center one work).

List for headset and headphones that work all three buttons & mic

- urbeats

- htc beats solo

- Sony smart headset

- Nocs NS200H (you can download Nocs app for 3 button or 1 button version)

(tested on galaxy tab 2 galaxy 2&3 hd7 nokia lumia 900 and Sony phone not Sony Ericsson )

plz post if you know any other 3 buttons with mic that work on android and which device you tested on.

for people that own beats that have detachable 3.5 cable they have a cable that works on phones listed above pm for link.

should work on soul headphones , sync and street headphones too.
[Android General] Ashcunak:
Hmm not much listed on that list yet. :(
[Android General] thelastred:
I tried few Asus tablet including nexus tablet remote on headset does not work.

What kind phone you have maybe I can help tell you if works or not
[Android General] Ashcunak:
honestly im not after super high quality audio.. im after buttons that work and preferably more than one button.

the phone im using is a htc amaze.

being in canada searching for headphones really sucks im finding future shop (the company bestbuy bought up here so they are virtually the same stock) has the klipsch but im not sure im ready to blow a hundred dollars on something i use 30 minutes twice a day 5 days a week.

ive been eyeing up so many of those on ebay.. the co worker bought 4 of them and they all turned out to be fakes tho. the remote wouldn't work on anyones phones in the office no matter what brand or make :|

its a gamble of buying one getting it sent testing it and if not trying another seller's product.
[Android General] thelastred:
I bought one and I don't think their the real deal but my works all three buttons and all

Any updates regarding other 3-button onEar headphones?

Yes there is also the Nokia purity hd and inear

I test them on android htc Samsung and Sony phones they work ( for marketing reason they don't list the devices on the Box )
[Android General] mgutt:
Thank you. I ordered the Nokia Purity HD at Amazon and will test it with my HTC One S and Google/Asus Nexus 7. But I think the last one is not compatible to controls:

android.stackexchange.com/a/27590/14361

But as the cable is changable I will do a little research on a cable with analog volume control.
[Android General] thelastred:
The htc phones for whatever reason they choose todo this uses the volume control for skipping tracks but all three buttons work. I own a nexus 7 and I can tell it does not work. I find a little strange since google software is supported and they band it as a pure google tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] Astraea908:
I was wondering what everyone's personal setup for their tablets/phones or their new nexus 7 is streaming wise. Like do you use XMBC, Plex, Etc.

I personally have my own cheap dedi running just lighttpd (SSL secured and password protected) with the files in a directory served to me - I tap on the file on my kindle fire and it starts playing in mx player. What are your streaming solutions?
[Nexus 7 General] david279:
I use plex but I'm getting a synology 2 bay and and I'm thinking about doing just standard upnp. Plex is nice and all but I'm looking to keep it simple.

[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
I have an Ubuntu desktop downstairs in my basement acting as server. It's doing a whole array of tasks.... file/print/web/backup/disaster-recovery/owncloud/motion (video surveillance), etc. I'm running Samba on it and always have, as it's really convenient to be on a laptop and just pull a video file off the server accordingly. I also have a HTPC box running Ubuntu with XBMC (autostart). Due to hard drive space limitations, I keep all movies on the HTPC, and all important data/personal data (music, pictures, documents) on my server, so I could easily utilize both systems (server and HTPC) via Samba with the use of AndSMB so I can stream over the network. I'm hoping I can successfully stream as I expect, but we'll see how it goes. I thought I remember another using telling me it works fine.

Wireless G + 1080p = not fun.
[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
Streaming 1080p on wireless G worked on my old router. Is it possible you have a bottleneck elsewhere? I've since upgraded to wireless N and I didn't notice a wireless difference in regard to 1080 playback...
[Nexus 7 General] alan77ss:
I use Serviio upnp server. Works with all my file formats and organises your tv into season/episode a bit like XBMC. App wise BubbleUPNP is pretty good for connecting to your server; you can also do remote streaming if you get the paid version (otherwise you're limited to half hour usage)

Plex is a more attractive solution and has the advantage of being able to stream outside your local network - but i've found the quality of streaming remotely to be quite poor; that's possibly cause i've got a max upload speed of 1mb. Connecting to the server and navigating through the screens is pretty slow/laggy - so for now Serviio's my choice.
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
I use Emit (http://emitapp.com). It works great most of the time and does on-the-fly encoding of videos, and is very easy to setup and use. For those familiar it's nearly identical to AirVideo for iOS.

I had all kinds of problems on wireless G as well, upgraded to N+ and even with a ~150mb connection high bitrate 1080p videos give me problems still.
[Nexus 7 General] silvscorp:
where do you get the 150mb number from? If that's from the network status shown in windows then that's really not accurate. That only shows the max possible link speed at the time, it's a raw number. You can only find out the real speed by copy files across your network and measure the time it take for its size.

If your wifi connection speed is not consistent due to interference or other reason your might experience slow downs. Also, did you enable WMM in the router to prioritize for video?
[Nexus 7 General] Thegreatheed:
PlayOn media server.

It will stream tons of stuff available on your desktop to your mobile. Hulu (desktop version), Netflix (really on useful before the Android app was released), CBS.com, any media files in folders you choose, and dozens of other channels. I purchased a lifetime license a couple years ago, it was a great move, I've used it a ton.

What did the lifetime license set you back?

I run an HP Proliant Microserver N36 with 4x 1TB HDs + Windows Home Server 2011 + Plex Media Server. The server streams to HTPCs in the lounge and family rooms + Plex for Android on my Galaxy Note.

Plex for Android works well now that I have ICS on the Note - ICS (or higher) is required for DirectPlay support in Plex - the Microserver is a little underpowered for transcoding.

Connectivity is via switched 1GbE for the HTPCs and 802.11n for the SGN.

I'm new to the android scene and getting a Nexus 7. I have an iPad, iPod touch and iPhone and I stream movies from my computer to them. I use a program called Air Video. I don't think there is an android equivalent so I'll have to change to something else. I would like the same server on my PC to be able to stream to both the apple and android devices.

What would be the best server/device clients to use? Nothing as elaborate as Plex which I never could configure.
