[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Fznwolf:
These music players should NOT have any effect on music. If you shape the sound (EQ) you are losing bit depth plain and simple. That's why the whole beats app is a joke to me. The term beats and audiophile do not belong in the same sentence.

That said "better" is a subjective term and not everyone enjoys a flat eq curve, especially people with dual subs jamming to rap. Subjectively power amp SHOULD be the same as any player playing the same content with no EQ.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] 20blks:
Also, you can control the player while the phone is locked (paid version)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] erichj:
So does every other music app. The key to good sound is headphones. My Klipsch reference headphones sound awesome no matter what app I use. Anymore you pick an app based on feature set. If yours does what you want then screw other apps.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Fznwolf:
erichj - I agree.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] socalwrx:
The main reason I bought it was for streaming my music in my car via Bluetooth. It connects and starts playing instantly without touching anything.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] GuestK00145:
Poweramp is cool but, I prefer playerpro. The soft bass I get on playerpro is better than poweramp
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bluerai:
I'm kinda debating between player pro and n7player now..

I don't really like the folder view in poweramp, and no lock screen controls was kind of sad too
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Iphony89:
Poweramp definitely has lock screen controls...I'm guessing most of you didn't try to learn how to use the app before posting.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rschauby:
You obviously didn't use the software. It does those 2 things better than any player out there.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] vudugan:
UI, Preferences, plays voicemail received in Exchange (vs Remote Wave) and just got very use to it on my DX.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bluerai:
wow I'm blind, thanks.

I'm going to have to look into everything again
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Intercrew:
Well both software and hardware affects the music. But honestly without the hardware, theres no sound.

Seems like ill be sticking with the stock player for now and switch over to n7player or poweramp later on. gapless play back is a plus tho :D
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] unleashed12:
Everybody has different preferences, My guess is that most people like it because its super customizable with its eq settings. I never liked the app much because of its ui, music players in phones should be simple, dont need that many bells and whistles, thats why i use the samsung music player or the google play music player. :good:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Iphony89:
+1 as much as I love poweramp..they really need to work on the ui, its not user friendly... these days I just use Google music with the awesome beats mod..I really wish Google music had a better widget.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ryandelman:
I prefer Apollo myself
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] stopeject:
PowerAmp is good, but I prefer free (well, I donated) MortPlayer Music. It doesn't have a pretty UI, but I like all the features and customizations. It also has widgets and a lock screen player. And for audio book fans MortPlayer Audiobooks is just awesome.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] submachine0:
my reasons

1. EQ & audio quality - i have good speakers and headphones, and i notice a huge difference across players. yes, "good" is subjective and if you don't see a difference or if you prefer the sound of another player, then PA is not for you. but it is preferable to others, as it is to me, so that's one reason.

2. folder-browsing

3. playlist & queue creation

4. song-file management (delete, ID3 tagging, lyric-find, albumart-DL)

5. sleep timer

6. skinnable

7. numerous, skinnable widgets

8. lockscreen - I know other players are, but they weren't always so. many of us have been using this player back when it was the ONLY lockscreen player that worked well all-around, so we just got used to it and haven't seen anything better - not that others aren't on-par, but if we have all we need then it's not broken so we're not fixing

9. what Winamp for Android should have been

regarding "how can software affect..." : there is such a thing as decoders and renderers, which are software, which make a difference depending on what file format you use. try changing those settings for video in VLC and you'll see how software can affect something. having said that, i'm only speaking for video but i imagine the same is true for audio as well. i could be way off on the comparison so take this with a grain of salt unless others confirm.

as far as i remember, the trial is full-featured, it just expires and offers you to buy it. give it until then and if it's not doing it for you just say no thanks. i'm usually apprehensive about spending more than $2 on apps, but i fell in love and the thought of losing it made me gladly throw money at the devs. :highfive:

EDIT: to be fair, it's not car-friendly unless you're just hitting back/forward. the UI is a bit clunky but you get used to it (not like extra steps, just not always logical). as someone said earlier, phone players should be simple (or something to that effect). personally, i sit there and use the app like i use winamp, clicking in and out of menus and folders and renaming and re-tagging and making playlists so this sort of interface suits me well but if you're not obsessive about music management you might find it too busy. i'm a 1,000-features kinda guy.

Noob here:

Not sure what to do in this situation.

Flashing went wrong at some point.

At this point the phone does not get past the Google logo.

fastboot or adb do not recognize the unit.

When starting in recovery mode. The unit does appear in the device manager.

How do I unbrick the thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Boot into the bootloader. (Hold down both volume keys and power). Then flash the stock Google images.

This is what I got mailed back today,

"We will be receiving shipments of each color every week. This week, we are expecting to receive the white Neo Hybrid cases for the Galaxy S3 and next week we are expecting to receive the red cases.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Thank you."

And I've just ordered the infinite white, so hope to get it soon and see how it compares to the speck and other hybrid cases :)

Heres also a video that they've recently uploaded. Kinda bright to see how the colors will look once they arrive but they look very slick!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Looks fugly. Also the case didn't seem to fit snug at the bottom. Hopefully someone can chime in on this.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jkforce:
Im actually looking forward to this case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kyan~:
i just ordered the infinitely white, i'm very excited!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
i'm intrigued by this case as well. i wonder how much thicker/wider it makes the phone though. it looks like to have the same added size as the case-mate pop case i had on my skyrocket. if thats the case (hehe word joke) then i'll pass =/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Intercrew:
The phone itself is already pretty thin, almost the same as the ipod touch/ a pencil so for me thickness wont be that big of a deal, unless it's something like the otter case :/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Troggie81:
I'm thinking about getting the same one. Currently have a Cruzerlite. Please post pics and impressions when it comes in!

this looks like the same idea only a fraction of the price
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ricey:
Not quite the same idea at all. The SGP is a 2 piece case with a TPU backcover + Polycarb frame. Similar to Incipio's Sylicrylic or Seidio's Active X case except it doesn't use silicone so hopefully doesn't get loose at the top/bottom end.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Xcor3:
Then its the same idea. He wasn't talking about the material.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ricey:
I wasn't talking about the material either ;) Same color scheme sure, but more that it's a single piece case vs a 2 piece back cover + frame case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Product F(RED):
Got my Infinity White today. Barely adds any thickness. I also have a Casemate Pop for my S3, but this is a lot lot thinner. Would recommend it for anyone looking for a thin case. My only complaints are the power button is so sensitive at first, you don't even know you've pressed it until you take your finger off of it. Also like any other matte TPU case (oh yeah, it's TPU) it's kind of slippery. But definitely recommended for anyone looking for some basic protection. Not recommend for anyone who drops their phone constantly or from high places.

I'm buying a galaxy nexus in Canada from kijiji (a private listings site). The seller claims that the phone is only 5 days purchased, and factory unlocked, also sealed. How can I tell if the product is genuine? without opening the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webdave:
There should be a sticker/seal on the box. However, I was able to open mine (direct from Google) without breaking the seal. The phone should have both front and back plastic on it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masteroftime666:
Any way to tell if its been opened before? or registered under an account from the serial number?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Open and boot it up. Scroll around a little. You'll be able to tell if it's real.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peachpuff:
How much is he asking for it? Normally if you purchase something and don't need it you return it, unless he bought from the states for $350 and is selling it for more up in canada.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benthe1:
I know on CDMA Android phones of you go to settings> about phone, you can see a phone number there. If it's 0ed out it's new. If not, it's used. Not sure if this applies for GSM phones too.

Speed

Hi,

I'm a new user and I have a question. I just rooted my phone, and flashed up Nameless rom. But it works with 600mHz. Can I involve the speed?

Overclock or something?
[HTC Desire C] fkofilee:
Nope Nope Nope ^__^, basically its no good as the Kernal is stock and doesnt permit overclocking.
[HTC Desire C] phzi:
You should really rename this thread... it has nothing to do with optimizing or speeding up the OS. It just tells you about a bunch of software you could search for on the market, and then says, "oh ya, and overclock."
[HTC Desire C] TheBlackWolf:
Performance problem??

Peep my signature.. ;)
[HTC Desire C] Duke_Suppenhuhn:
Deactivating apps which are not really needed also increases the speed, because more resources are available. :)

I tried that in combination with the overclock kernel and that sped up my phone especially when using apps which needs much ram and cpu-performance.
[HTC Desire C] Gamephantom:
Removing the sense interface is also speeding up the performance.
[HTC Desire C] Phenziox:
no ****, sherlock;)
[HTC Desire C] XDroidie626:
And back we are :P

Lets get a few things updated shall we :)

_Ayhan_

Apex is a good launcher, bit bigger than Zeam but it works perfectly for me, no lag at all :) and supports themes!

szilike93 Nameless new ROMs have OC ability, with the correct kernels, as said in my 1st post, i would OC, i used OC on a different ROM and played games, didnt last long under bloon tower defense 5. ive just downloaded a new kernel pack from the dev of Nameless, selected a slight OC, but i shall be still setting max OC to 600Mhz but i will be changing the Governor to InteractiveX and I/O to deadline (Going on what worked best for DoomKernel)

Gamephantom

Yeah removing sense UI would be better off for the phone, but as far even the new "De-Sense" options still have baseline sense installed, until Cyanogenmod works fully we have to stick with it, although the devs have made the device smoother with sense, Cyanogenmod should take the crown

So any updates from me?

Well OC kernels are out and working can try them if you wish, New roms are around which are fast, no new "Super" apps to speak of, just a shame its only a single core 600Mhz, there are some apps im testing and shall report back, such as the Jellybean drivers, see if that wacks my battery using GPU rendering, hopefully not, all testing on Nameless 7.2 with 722Mhz Kernel but will be UC to 600Mhz. Hopefully battery life dont suck, Slimsense still best battery life personally for me :)

Later Guys!
[HTC Desire C] einstein.frat:
You want to get a good battery life, just push a stock systemui that don't have battery percentage numbers. Images in stock only have 4-5 batt images, while in percentage it gives accurate %1 reading 100 batt images.

Sent from my HTC Desire C
[HTC Desire C] pjotfurek:
You should do as Xdroidie626 sais.

Download Nameles's ROM and enclosed within You will find 3 kernels. Choose from 2 that allow You to OC Your CPU and flash it.

I'm using the 806MHz Kernel and apart from the obvious,battery life dicreased,can't complain about it at all.

HTC should have released Desire C 806MHz capable in the first place.

Lucky noobs we are to have XDA website and Devs themselves to provide us with tools of salvation from "stock" misery :)

Btw... Little off-top...

@Einstein.frat

As I mentioned above I'm using Nameless ROM and hereby wish to thank Einstein.frat for his efforts and subsequent effects.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] qayshp:
Since I can't post in the dev thread, [ROM][Official]MyTouch4G Slide CyanogenMod 9 #1644084, I'm posting here.

I've been having the network issue intermittently, where sometimes my phone won't connect to data. Others in the CM9 thread have reported similar problems.

The problem:

Status bar indicator is just bars with no letter, but intermittently shows a ((2|3)?G|H){1} for a moment, and then goes back to just bars.

Phone info activity shows GPRS service as disconnected.

Issue first occurred for me 2012-06-19

Possible solution:

A few days ago I noticed that it only happens to me after I go to the basement or some other area where there is no cell signal. I haven't been able to reliably reproduce the problem, BUT: oddly enough, when experiencing the problem, briefly visiting one of these locations again actually solves the issue (each and every time, ~15 times so far). Sometimes it takes a few trips in to and out of the dead zone, but it always works for me.

I want to see if this works for others, and if anyone has ideas of why this might be?

I don't know what information might be helpful to gather, so tips would be great.

My hope is that this can help others with this issue, and maybe that it will lead to a permanent fix.

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to join the IRC lately and explain this to korny/tbladen.

Since no one responded, and there's no roms that I know of with that cooked in, I would say no.

But if you are lokingvfor an ios style interface go launcher ex in the market is the way to go. Just use the stock theme.

Plus ....soo many customization, lock screens etc.

All this and its free.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oubravs2b:
Sprint GNex and I have the No service tag where my carrier label should be. This happens no matter what ROM I'm using at any time. But I DO have service at all times.

The other weird thing is that I will get this in the lock screen as well when I don't actually have service, but once I have it again, the lock screen No Servicr will go away. But Notification drop down persists.

Any way to fix this or a workaround to change it to something custom? Its driving me insane.

I saw in some other device forums that it was fixed by editing the spn-config.xml, but all I can see in Sprint Gnex even close is the apns-config.xml (in system/etc). I tried what they did, but it broke my data connection so that was a no go. Had to Nandroid back to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oubravs2b:
Update to this:

I unrooted and it shows up as Sprint for my carrier label. I then re-rooted, installed CM9 and it goes back to "No service". Seems that any custom ROM is giving me this issue. Doesn't matter if I reboot, clear cache, etc. Nothing seems to work. Driving me totally insane. Can I just clear it off of there somehow? That would do me just fine at this point.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oubravs2b:
And another update. I finally figured out how to manually change it.

Create a file named spn-conf.xml and place it in your System\etc directory using Root Explorer. There won't be one originally. Just add it. Give it RW/R/R permissions (don't know if it matters). Content should be as follows for Sprint numeric (310120). Replace between the quotes for whatever you want it to read on Lock Screen and Notification Banner. Reboot and enjoy. As always, make a backup first in case this jacks things up so you can restore.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<spnOverrides>

<spnOverride numeric="310120" spn="Whatever You Want Here" />

</spnOverrides>

Thanks to spunks3 for doing this on Verizon GS. Just figured I'd try what he did and it happened to work. Link is here to get XML already formatted (I used his Carrier.zip and edited).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JimSmith94:
The drop down on my Sprint Nexus running Are-You-Jellin-RC3 AOSP JB 4.1.1 says, "Roaming Indicator Off". I created your XML file, copied it to /system/etc, and rebooted (twice), but the message hasn't changed.

Is this specific to the existing message or the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oubravs2b:
That I don't know. When I did it the first time I was on CM9. But I actually JUST rebooted after applying it to Jellin 4.1.1 and it worked again.

Make sure you set permissions to the file as RW/R/R before you reboot. See if that does the trick. I had the No Service message, but I doubt it would matter what you had before.

I can send you the file I'm using if that would help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oubravs2b:
I PM'd you the file I'm using with how I'm modifying copying. Let me know if that works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JimSmith94:
I got the file, thanks. It didn't work either, but I think I figured out the problem.

After trying your file and rebooting, I went to recovery and installed Are-You-Jellin-M1. After that reboot, spn-conf.xml had been removed, but I had "SPRINT" in the drop down.

Then I moved a replacement Launcher2.apk that does 5x5 icons into /system/app. (I got it from here, but I don't remember who created it, sorry.) After that reboot, it was back to "ROAMING INDICATOR OFF" <- Note: all caps this time.

I copied your file back again, but no change. That leads me to believe that the text is buried inside Launcher2.apk somewhere.

Definitely weird since I'm also using M1 and it worked just fine. I'm at a loss...sorry!

If I go back to stock ice cream its 4.0.2 and yakjuwx with I9250XXKK6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Don't accept it. You can't take an OTA when you're on a custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
You need to flash yakju or takju 4.0.4 (with the corresponding boot, radio and recovery images), then you can accept and install the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well flashing back to stock yakju or takju will completely wipe the device and he'll have to wait to be notified again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgunz:
I'm back on stock... but I'm rooted...do I have to be completely stock without being rooted? I have the white international one with yakjuwx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Rooted doesn't matter. Custom recovery, system file changes (fonts, mods, etc.), and radio changes do matter and all stop you from being able to accept and auto-install an OTA.

If you're on yakjuwx though, you won't be notified for a 4.1 update. There's no 4.1 OTA rolling out for yakjuwx yet. If for some reason it has the 4.1 OTA from before saved in /cache and it tries to notify you, it won't work, because that OTA is meant for yakju 4.0.4 devices.

If you want to be on stock 4.1.1, you need to flash your phone to yakju/takju 4.0.4 and wait for the OTA or flash the OTA package yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgunz:
i know theres is a way to convert over to yakju 4.0.4. how do i do that? the forums i have read led me to be all confused. much help if possible? i dont really want to brick my phone as much i really love the Gnexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The Nexus is just about impossible to brick. Just make sure you follow the steps properly and you'll be fine.

To convert to yakju (or takju if you want Google Wallet preinstalled), follow this guide: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Convert to latest yakju/takju/mysid (incl JB) / Return to stock

DO NOT USE A TOOLKIT

. For God's sake please just read and learn how to do it. Then the next time you need to mess with your phone you'll actually have some knowledge of how it works. If you have a specific question, I'd be extremely surprised if it hasn't been asked before.

You should search first

, then post in that thread or post a new one with your specific issue.

Glad you figured it out.
