[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I too am not a fan of the iphone sound quality

Just sounds too flat, then with the presets it gets distorted :/

The HTC one has the same one as the Nexus 7 IIRC, which is defaults tegra 3

Its just the awesomebeats dsp manager that makes it sound good for me

And also with our phone there is a bit of crosstalk, the fuzzy sound you hear when you plug headphones in and in quiet bits of songs

That is HTC cheaping out, the nexus 7 doesn't do that because of the way its headphone jack wires are attached to the motherboard, on our phone they are too close together, on the nexus 7 its more spaced and there is an empty slot in between

Thats what I have read anyway
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
I had the feeling that the sound on the ONE X was more... clear. Never tried the Nexus, but must be good:D But without DSP-Manager I'm not hearing music on my phone anymore:D
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
HorrificAwesomeBeats :screwy:
[HTC Incredible S] E3SEL:
It's the amplifier that causes the hiss.
[HTC Incredible S] :
Can anyone provide me with the equalizor settings for good bass using dspmanager
[HTC Incredible S] E3SEL:
Depends on how much bass you want, and what bass. Just ramp up the first two bars a little. If you want more bass you can push up the third bar too, and if you hear distortion, make the height of the bars go down evenly (as in if one bar is at +9, set the next one to +6, and the next to +3).
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
Here is mine

Dynamic Range Compression: OFF

Loudness compensation: STRONG

Headset Virtual Room Effect: OFF

As you can see, I like a lot of bass:D But since the tip doesn't fit perfectly in my left ear, I had to turn it up a little more, so if it's too much just make the 2 left ones a little smaller;)
[HTC Incredible S] esbenm:
Quality headphones dont require a software equaliser. That kind of tells you, that beats is just the same as the rest, just more expensive. The promised great sound is just a cheap equaliser gimmick.

But they look good and sound ok that considered, just don't expect anything special. For the same money you can get better, but not as hip looking.

If you want really good sound quality at home, get a source that plays uncompressed audio, and find some nice headphones on head.fi

For the incredible s for outside use, sound quality is only average no matter the choice of headphones.
[HTC Incredible S] E3SEL:
While you are right, the thing is, they aren't equalizing the bass down, they are equalizing it up. So they are un-equalizing :)
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
That's not entirely right. You can have the best headphones on the world but a bad software can still screw the sound totally up;) Of course hardware is very important but the it's the job of the software to tell the hardware how to work to make it work the best way it can. So every pair of headphones needs the right software to work properly. It's like a car can go 250km/h but the driver is so weak that he can just hit the gas till 100km/h.
[HTC Incredible S] esbenm:
What I mean is simply that with my better headphones, they don't need much or any eq, often just a little bass boost.

Whereas my cheaper ones typically sound better with a U curve eq setting.

But sound is so personal, a lot of people like very coloured, eq heavy, distorted sound settings.
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
Yeah, you're right;) I don't change sooo much either. I just buff the bass a lot and then do a few optimizations... My dad altough doesn't like much bass, he always turns it down a lot. So everybody has his own "sound".

My point was just that DSP-Manager is a cool thing for Android and for me a must-have;)
[HTC Incredible S] esbenm:
I haven't played with dsp yet, do you mind sharing what settings you use for your headphones, I will give it a try :)
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
I just did that on Page 3. You can get DSP-Manager here on xda or if you install one of the JB-ports;)
[HTC Incredible S] esbenm:
Sorry I missed that.

No matter what I do, dsp doesn't alter the sound in any way.

I am running ice cold sandwich 8.3.

It was the same when I tried Niks sense roms, beats audio didn't change the sound a bit.
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
beats audio on niks sense roms added bass and clearer sound for me. but that was either using my big sound system or my beats studios
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
If nothing changes than sth is wrong. I don't hear a difference between Beats EQ on/off either, but you should really hear the DSP... What player are you using?
[HTC Incredible S] esbenm:
Using Spotify. I will try it with another player tonight just for fun
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
Never tried on spotify... You can try Apollo from CM, that should definitely work;)
[HTC Incredible S] E3SEL:
Perhaps you are applying the eq to the phones speaker instead of the headset. Make sure headset is selected.
[HTC Incredible S] husky69:
As far as I can tell Beats is some expensive and hyped product line signed by a prominent artist in order to make a lot of money from the many people who are willing to pay a lot of money because they trust in his name guaranteeing a somehow superior experience, but without being able to tell whether this actually is true or not.

Many HiFi folks don't have any good words for these phones after throughly testing them, and if you asked me, you'd be better off to really investigate on your own which phones are good and which are not.

It takes more time and effort than deciding about the look of your favourite Beats phones design :p
[HTC Incredible S] thelastred:
By htc urbeats or htc beats solo the remote should work on htc all three buttons
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
Urbeats/ibeats have muddy bass response. Me no like :(

The solo have the same speakers as the studio just that it's smaller. Good one to buy with the built-in htc controltalk.

[HTC Incredible S] kskwerl64:
For $350 you should look at your other options. You can get way better sq out of a lot of headphones. I would head over to head-fi.

Wait on the phone, it will transfer you to customer care.

Answer some questions and they will refresh your account on their end.

Done

Hi,

Currently I've got a xperia mini pro and now I wanted to know, if the xperia sola is a good phone. I think the specs are good and the price (ca 250€ in germany) is good, too.

But what do you think? I just want to root it, no bootloader unlock, no other firwares, for something like that I've got my mini pro. Just wanna play games, listen to music, use nfc tags and want a well running system.

Is there another phone, you could suggest me, which costs about 250€?

Thx in advance :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
Hi all,

I recently flashed an android for the first time, so go easy on me!

I flashed my galaxy note gt-n7000 with the CM10 preview #3 (dated 20th August 2012) with success... but!

When I try to install preview #4 of CM10 (24-08-1012), I always get an error message coming from the updater-script.

It says:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxynote" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxynote" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "n7000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "n7000" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "N7000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "N7000" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-N7000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-N7000"

I already figured out that my note's name/product/device has been changed to I9100 (S2 build), so I simply opened /system/build.prop and changed it back to GT-N7000. (settings -> about phone -> model is showing GT-N7000 as it should now). Although, I didn't change ro.build.product because the build.prop said it isn't used anymore :s

Still, while running the zip from cwm (6.0.x.x) I still get the same message and it aborts with status 7.

One thing to take notice: I can't install from SD card, it says it's unable to mount the /sdcard when I try to update from external sd card in cwm. I'm trying to install from internal sd...

I already tried installing another rom without success.

I'm in the dark here, so please light up the way :crying: :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
Just flash a cm10 safe kernel first before flashing rom, reboot the recovery and then flash away. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
You missed something ;)

Sorry, but I think you missed the fact that I am already on the unofficial cm10 preview 3 rom. Meaning I already have a cm10 safe kernel?

Perhaps I am missing something too? :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
buildprop flash,

Or format in mounts system then reflash a rom. Thats where it is saved. :) I think you are on a save kernel so I think it should not be an issue.

Edit: Just to be sure you can flash a safe kernel, reboot in recovery and then do above. All at your own risk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
Are you sure?

You're suggesting formatting /system and then reflashing another rom (without rebooting in between)?

Could that be the solution? The build.prop file can be found there, how will the updater-script be able to find the parameters it needs if the /system folder was formatted?

Sorry if it's an obvious question (which I think it is), but I'm not yet an android savvy. I've had some experience with linux tho...

Any help is appreciated!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
well funny thing is, it will work, try it :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
No good!

I'm not panicking, but still, I formated /system and tried flashing cm10 preview #4, but it still gives me the aser failed error.

My build.prop is GONE and still it says it can't assert... what gives?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
ok then I am suspecting recovery and kernel, Can you flash a different safe kernel, and then reflash the rom?

edit, appears my case, when I had it, it must have been different. I did change kernel in similar case and it worked:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
Trying parandroid now

I installed cwm 5.8 now, It seems I can't mount /emmc but i'm gonna give it a go...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
Got the solution.

Downgrade to GB, root the device and upgrade to cm10 in recovery.

It will work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
Another problem...

I tried to install speedmod K3-13, which landed me on cwm 5.8.1.8. I can't get back to 6.0.x because this version screws up the mount /emmc and /sdcard! When I choose install from /sdcard, the content that is displayed is actually my internal storage.

I can't put anything on my internal storage, because my rom doesn't work anymore and I can't connect to my pc...

I've seen the posts about downgrading to GB, but I can't because of the sdcard & emmc screwup..

Some tips & tricks would be helpful. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
good one, remember to reboot recovery after flashing kernel.

last resort try flashing a gb rom from pc odin with or without regular pitfile. Flashing takes some time so be patient. If it get stuck about an hour at factorysys you might have case of superbrick, but I am not expecting that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
I'll try

Way to put my mind at ease :p

Do you have a link to where I can find the correct gb for odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
Download prerooted GB rom from my sig.

Reboot in Download mode.

Open PC Odin on your PC

Connect your phone to pc via usb cable

Select GB file under PDA tab

Hit Start

Wait for the completion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
Thanks!

Alright, very good!

So afterwards, I can just reflash through cwm to cm10?

That would be awesome!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
Yes you can. Just reboot into recovery and flash rom+gapps, do all 3 wipes(Cache/Dalvik/Data) and reboot :D woaah you are on cm10 now :D Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
Fingers crossed for now...

I was on CM10 preview 3, but I just had to go to 4!!!

Especially the fact that the g-sensor didn't work bothered me!

The GB download is very slow though, i'm downloading at 80~800kb/s. It's taking for ages.

Perhaps you should find another mirror for you sig...

I'll let you know how it went
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
Going great!

I've gotten past the factorysys.img and it's now writing nand...

Would it be safe to go to paranoid android from here?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
Should be, but follow the procedure from paranoid android thread to the letter. Its in first post of the thread, or in the thread. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
Yes. Just reboot into recovery and flash rom+gapps and do all three wipes. Time to reboot now. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selman555:
Finally!

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for you help... now I know a little bit more about flashing and recovery.

I will listen to the forums from now on and make a backup of my current rom ;)

I'm currently on #4 cm10 and the improvements they've made in a few days are simply amazing!

Greetings from Belgium!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I'd exchange it. It's not that rooting & transferring files takes a whole lot of time on this phone. And you see that annoying yellow tint every time you turn on the display... would really annoy me. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dj21o:
Have you had to exchange the phone out? I am not going to a sprint store because I'm gonna get a refurbished phone and could have the sane exact problem. So I called Samsung and they are gonna ship me out a box, then I would have to switch service to my previous phone, transfer my files back, then unroot the phone, wait a few days, then do it all over. That is a PITA. Lol. I'm just deciding if it is even worth it.

nope...thats not the reason. dualboot doesn't need rom support. i hope more tester will come. no sgy user want to be a tester in these days. devs are fighting alone in their project. sgy duos development is still on very early project. people should realize that tester is a mandatory for the development. no devs can do their work without the testers.

[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] kurotsugi:
well...I hope none of you didn't get those "inbox killer" spamming question in your PM (lol)

OK. lets back to the topic. @savie: the zImage. is it from stock kernel? if yes, you might want to try it with something from custom rom. in sgy, somehow dualboot implementation doesn't work in dxle and newer kernel. even simple ramdisk modification to add init.d support doesn't work on them too.
