[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] josjator:
So I've been listening to my brand new NOCS NS200 android earbuds with mic for some days and I wanted to share with you my experience.

I have a good sensitive hearing and I try always to listen music decently. In fact, my i9000 audio quality impressed me even before the voodoo driver was released. Their stock headphones were actually good: great isolation, fair respose to the audio source and punching bass. A little bit shrill at med freqs, though.

So I got this i9103 phone. A very interesting phone that has been providing me lots of fun in xda. But my first experience with its audio quality was horrible. It sounded like jumping cans with its stock headphones. I thought maybe the phone had the same i9100 Yamaha DAC or maybe those stock headphones were crap, even they looked identical to the i9000 ones (except for the jack strips color). BTW they don't work with our phone, as they are OMTP jack wiring, and the Galaxy R is CTIA. You can see the differences here:

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/31455

As you know the phone actually performs a Wolfson WM8994 audio chip, correctly HW implemented, and the driver has been ported by our devs. That is really great. I started to look for a decent headset with mic and buttoms, as a sustitute for the crap stock ones, in a ~50€ range. I found the swedish NS200 as a good deal and balance between functionaly, audio quality, and price.

A flat and fair response is important so you can EQ your music as desired while still enjoying all the sound spectrum. I use to activate a bit of HW bass boost in the Voodoo control app and a bit of treble in the player equalizer. No more than that. These NOCS are placed between flat and warm sound. Med freqs are also very detailed. I can listen to them for hours. They are very well built, with durability as a premise. The drivers are protected by a light aluminium case and the cable is reinforced with kevlar. I can carry them in my pocket without any worry. Phonecalls functionality simpy works great.

The only issue I have found are the isolating silicon sleeves. I had a hard time getting used to them, even though the buds are light and confy. I finally opted for the bigger ones. My ears are very standard, so I was surprised. The earbuds come with three sizes, having the medium one two pairs. Regarding the buttoms, there is a specific app for configuring them in Google Play. It has tons of options. I found out that I could only setup the central one, the others are tied to volume. Probably it's something related with the ROM that looks easy to fix.

Drivers: 8 mm dynamic

Sensivity: 106 db SPL @ 1 kHz

Impedance: 16 Ohm @ 1 kHz

Freq response: 20Hz - 20kHz

I hope this helps you to choose your headphones with mic. :)

Which ones are these ? SM MP-21 ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 3 Doors Down:
Dang it man! :s

Bought SM E10M in hope of their mic working on our device.

It doesn't :x

@'cooleagle' why is it that it works on s2 and not on our device?

I'm just going to quote what josjator has written below:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 3 Doors Down:
:/ either selling them or returning them back :s

Btw, voodoo is supposed to improve sound quality right?

How do I improve the sound output through our jack.

I can barely hear any difference between stock and voodoo sound settings :banghead:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
No sorry.. Forgot to mention the brand and model..:eek:

Btw.. Its sony mh750 it comes with few sony xperia devices.. I dont remember the make though...

The shopkeeper quoted me 1400 as there was only one stock.... I took it by paying 1300 after a bit of bargaining.. Although its the MRP I guess...

But... it sounds great.. Now.. I dont need to set the equalizer to too highs or too lows.. Awesome mids as well... Perfect sound...:thumbup:

Way better than stock ones.... And even those with Note2.. I compared head to head with those that come with note2..

But.. It gave lot more bass and highs... I personally felt its better....

Edit: It also comes with a crystal mic.. It works great.. Lot better than any handsfree mic I have used so far.. Its also advertised by sony.. That it contains a special mic...

And.. The buttion or spliter size i a bit large which is just becoz of the special mic present in it...

Guys go for it.. Its a great value for money... Al we all know.. Sony is the music beast...

None is better than sony...(my personal opinion)...

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Do they sound perfect when used with any other mobile/media player/PC ?

If yes then there could be a problem with the earphone Jack of your handset. In this case also try to use some other earphones with your R like the stock ones to check if they work normally or not and if they work it could be a compatibility problem but regarding which I've my own doubts as it happens very rarely.

If no then there's something wrong with your headphones/earphones and you need to send it to the service centre.

Do update here if it helps. :)

25/10:

* Completely rewritten, it's now entirely menu driven with choices so you don't have to type filenames.

* Fixed faulty boot flashing

* Now copies a flashable zip of each loop ROM and NAND ROM boot images to /sdcard/multiboot for NAND and /sdcard/multiboot/loop-roms/[nameofyoursystemloopfile/[nameofyourrom]boot.zip so you can flash it via CWM if you need to.

* Includes a cross compiled version of bash for arm to fix a lot of scripting problems.

12/10:

* Streamlined, a LOT faster now.

* Possible fix for the random faulty boot.img flashing when switching between ROMs, need feedback on this.

* Removed unnecessary file creation (all of it runs within one loop file and questions (if you create the system and data images you won't get the question twice, it checks if your ROM is a JB rom without your interference).

* Added cleanup script, to use it run sh cleanup as su and follow the instructions.

* Lots of other bits and pieces that makes it safer and faster to use.

3/9:

* Fixed the Android version to work with CM7 roms [changed let=size to size=$(expr], thanks to Sulthekk for the heads up on that

* Added a failsafe to the Android version on creation of system loop file if it already exists and on giving the script a name for system and data image that doesn't exist. You get one retry, if you can't get it right after that... It is possible to multitask on android, just open a file manager if you forgot the name of the system or data image.

* Fixed the Linux and Windows versions to work with JellyBean ROMs, thanks to jpeg729 for the heads up on that

* Change the file names to reflect which version is which

1/9:

* Finally fixed the problems with no permissions running the script on some ROMs.

1/9:

* Added the choice to copy your currently running roms boot.img to your multiboot automatically, no user interaction needed for the process.

31/8:

* Changed the android version to a tar to keep file permissions intact.

* Fixed it up so it runs on CM-10 and PA as well as all other roms (i hope).

30/8:

* Release of the Android version, now runs completely on your phone.

28/8:

* Changed the Linux version to tar format to ensure that permissions are correctly set.

* Fixed the Cygwin version so it can make the data and system image files, they will be formatted on install and if it's a new installation you have to choose y to format the data image file or it will not have a filesystem.

* Changed a few misspellings in user interaction texts and tried to make it easier to understand.

[Blade Android Development] Jinxxed:
Found a util for windows called winDD, i'll check it out and include it in the next version if it's of any use. That will fix the problem with not being able to create the loop files on windows.

I've built makebootfs and makebootimg for android and will include them along with a script that works on android in the next release.

I'll make the next release a tar version along with a zip version for windows users, this is to preserve file permissions.

Any other suggestions are most welcome.
[Blade Android Development] Jinxxed:
After a lot of issues i finally got the Android version ready, i've tested it and it works fine on my phone, both the makelooprom-android and the makeloopgapps. :)

I had to cross compile perl and the mkbootfs and mkbootimg files to run on armv6l which took a while because i kept getting errors, both are included with the script.

Then there was a problem with running split-bootimg.pl on the sdcard, fat32 doesn't support symbolic links so i had to make three different loopfiles within the script to use for bootimg-contents ramdisk-contents and output.

Anyway, now it runs just fine, try it out. :)

In settings/speech you have the option have text messages read out when you have a Bluetooth/headset on.

I use this feature a lot when driving... However, the volume/voice (when text is being read) is very low.

Is there a way to adjust it? Or is it predefined.

PS: if you try to adjust the volume while the text is being read, it automatically ends it and adjusts the main phone volume instead.

Thank you for any help

Hello There, As im exploring The Captivates Somewhat good OS Tweaks of the Phone, Some people May Download better music players, Now the android music player definetly isn't the best one:/ So if you hate having to go ALL THE WAY to that one certain music app heres how to make The Original music player go to your Other Music Player:) So I was annoyed for days because the default music player was automatically popping up or playing instead of ZPlayer in my case. I could not find a exact answer online so with some determination I figured it out my self and hope this will help out someone else.

1st you want to go to your settings- click applications- manage applications

Click the All applications list, now go to every music player in your app list including your default one make sure the play by default button is not checked, if it is checked clear it. Then be sure that your force quit them all.

2nd now setting default player is not in the settings which is why its so annoying to figure out. Your phone comes with a folder called " My Files" if you haven't gotten rid of that, open that folder and find a music file and when you try to play it from there a choose player window will pop up. Now BEFORE You choose the player you want as your default click the checkbox first will have green checkmark. Then choose what player u want as your default from the list and its set.

To verify go back to settings click applications- manage applications- all applications scroll to the music player u set as default and the box at the bottom should now be checked as your default music player.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skilluminati:
Hi,

Last month I've moved onto 4.0.4 xwlpo and then to xwlpt from gingerbread and it is apparent that my phone is much less stable and resets frequently. Before, it would work for weeks without a hitch, but now every few days or even every day it's the same story - the screen will freeze and the only button that responds is the power switch that will only cycle the screen on/off. The only fix is to wait 30-60 sec for it to reset itself, or pull the battery. It can happen in various settings, when I'm browsing the web, listening to winamp or writing a text. I notice that after it comes back on, my juice level tanks as much as 20%, but usually just a few percent - but still it's drastic for the short time it stays frozen. I'm rooted, I've already done factory reset, I've tried fix permissions in cwm. Does anybody else share this situation, or can offer a hint what to do? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony25:
Hi Skilluminati,

Did you try another ROM like Cyanogenmod 9 ? Or maybee it's the kernel, you can try the Siyah kernel, or the DorimanX' (the 5.64 version, last versions have few stability problems).

Yeah!

As said by our fella, sonic_boom :highfive:, we can easily mod a OTG cable, or even mod any normal cable/adapter, to allow OTG and battery charge, at the same time, in our little lovely paunchy phones :victory:.

On the sonic_boom's site you can find clear and simply diagrams to the goal.

Also you can find my test at youtube channel - and other things more :laugh:

So if you think that the LiveDock, even with a nice design, can be just an expensive plate, you have now one more argument haha.

The resistor is easy to find... in fact, all the materials are cheap and easy to find. In my case for example, I'm a geek so I have a lot of old oficial cables and some equipments, the only thing off my collection is the resistor.

My video here.

The only thing what can damage your phone is if you use power more than 5v 1000mA (genius), or maybe connect the wrong pins (genius x 2, because everything is well explained), I mean, if (isTrollTin || isMorePowerThanTheCorrect) { yourPhone = :angel: ; }.

It is worth is very simple!

EDIT: BTW if you have ICS at your mini and maybe OTG isn't working, is just install the BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson) and done! To mount one or more data travelers I used [root] StickMount by Chainfire

Why? Connect your charger then check command DMESG. Connect USB charging from computer then check same command. Then connect 5V 3amps charger and do the same thing. Android will decide how much power can take while charging.

Problem. USB host mode RESET on "fully charged"

Hello guys!

I have such a OTG+Charging solution for me and it works like a charm (on cm10, sony ericsson mini pro sk17i - see freexperia). Thanks to sonic boom for the comprehensive howto!

The OTG-USB is connected to a USB hub (that powers my devices and charges the phone!) and a usb-ethernet connected to it for network access.

It works perfectly, but...

...when the phone is "fully charged", it does something to its usb connection (reinitalizing it, I guess) and the ethernet is lost. That would not be much of a problem, but the phone resets the usb connection roughly every 2 to 3 minutes once it's fully charged.

As long as it's charging: No problem whatsoever.

Do you know that problem and what can I do?

So far I have found the kernel-switches in the filessystem (proc or sys, dont remember) to influence host-mode and charging beahviour and have starting playing around with them, but to no avail: Either no network or no charging.

And, as soon as the phone goes to stand-by, the charging is resumed and the usb-host connection subsequently dropped.

I am very grateful for any suggestions as this problem prevents me from having a nice little server running on my phone with performance better than a raspberry pi! (Wifi is hardly an option: I have around 14 Wifi Networks in my surrounding that kill any decent latency).

Thank you for your help in advance!
