thepgo,

I know it's slighty OT, but I just can't help myself but recommend to you Brainwavz ProAlpha earphones.

I am well acquainted with FA Eterna and they are really not the best IEMs for android smartphones. They all sound muddy and need an earphone that has speed and resolution to compensate that.

ProAlphas have very good detail and treble extension and fast, full and hard hitting bass. The bass is not of high volume, but doesn't roll off quickly (the mid-bass doesn't dominate the lower end of the spectrum), actually very fun and energetic. While being good at analysis, they don't sound overly sharp or lean at all (like Head-Direct RE-0, which have totally anemic bass and ear piercing treble. IMO ProAlphas are RE-0 done right). They are cheap (~40$) so you could use them as an alternative to Eternas.

I would write it if it wasn't for superb pairing of these with smartphones. Aside from B2s these are best for my Neo V. Better than Westone 1, Fischer A151, Meelectronics CC51 (which are similair to proalpha, but have less bass and coloured treble - the extra sparkle makes it sound the same across different records, which for me is a no-no). My friend with HTC Wilfire S also preferred them. Another friend has HTC One V. He sold Phonak Audeo 112 (he had all three types of filters, so three adjustable sound signatures) to buy Proalpha, and stayed with them ever since.

If you can try those out somewhere don't hesitate. These are the best earphones you will find in this price range, showing detail that is not beaten by ones like Audeo or Westone 1, while having fairly neutral tone and sparkly, fun, energetic sound.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] thepgo:
Thanks for the recommendation, but I'll pass :)

When it comes to brighter iems, I already got K370 - sq probably around the same level as proalpha.

Next time I'll dive into my pocket, I'm probably going for vsonic gr06
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] roladyzator:
I was thinking about gr06 too, I wonder if it works well with android smartphones. Never had any of those midrange-happy earphones

uTorrent now has a full BitTorrent client for Android, so you can download torrents right to your phone no matter where you are.

Download from Google Play [Beta] : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.utorrent.client

Android 2.1 and above.

Should we consider Torrent as a download option now :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Thread Moved​

Its a app, so goes in themes and apps. Please post in the correct section.​
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] _terror_:
uTorrent are mostly used to download cracked apps, games, music and movies. Is this thread really legit for this site? I say no.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Jamal Ahmed:
thats on the opinion of individuals i think :/ its just a download software. even official cyanogenmod builds are available as torrents on get.cm :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] azzledazzle:
Torrents dont mean illegal activity, Its a way of sharing :)

The app itself is fine, Its what the users choose to use it for what can be illegal.

Even O_G didnt close it ! so it must be good :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Mungulz:
Dude that's retarded.

An equally retarded statement:

Bank robbers use cars to escape. We should ban cars and make them illegal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tupo05:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] LordManhattan:
Don't use Google. You might find some shocking things there - if you're looking for it.

There are lots of legal ways to use torrents. μTorrent is a tool, just like Google.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] criminalz:
limitations

Does utorrent has any download size limitations?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Jamal Ahmed:
Nope :D you can download files terabytes big BUT as long as the peer keeps seeding :)

SIGN: Dont forget to hit the thanks button if i helped you in any way :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ali_khalid5518:
well i think the app called "A Torrent Pro" is worthy then anyone coz from this app u could get all speed while other will be limited at 250kbs

I am NOTE amused.

I've been using tTorrent Pro. At the time I bought it, it was the best I could find. It works but could be better. I have not been able to find a good NZB client for Android either. I bought PowerNZB, it works, the 2 or three other ones I downloaded did not work. Most are for feeding your NZB client on your home server, I have a script and dropbox folder for doing that. If I do download media on my phone, I use PowerNzb more often then torrents.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shaiful.roni:
Well, uTorrent is just a sharing application. If you want, you can download similar application with any other downloader tool. The application itself is not corrupted. It's the people who use this in wrong way.

** uTorrent is sometimes better for downloading. :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Silberpfeil3110:
I also tried the µTorrent and BitTorrent apps some weeks ago. But I have to say, that they are sometimes unstable.

The design is not the best, but reason for that could also be the big screen of the note ^.^

My favourite torrent client is "Swarm". It's stable, simple design, light-weight and works fine with all extras we know from the desktop client.

Better try this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] caha2639:
Hey so I torrented an item, and than went to locate it on my gs3 and now I can't find it. I've went through rooted processes to find the app and see if it downloaded within the folder there but not to be found. :(

I haven't deleted it...it still shows its on my phone.

Can anyone reccomend any solutions? I haven't changed any settings on my utorrent app on my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] sormou:
Try to download another item and it will notify you before it starts to confirm the folder to store in . . Then you will know where the first item is stored . Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Bingoig11:
Tested, not bad but it would be perfect if I could connect to my uTorrent windows client using the app going through my wireless network. I know there are remote feature but they are in the cloud or using a web browser (to connect directly to the torrent client)
[Nokia Lumia 800] peterjr1:
My Lumia 800 is fully updated and has been very well looked after but the camera quality is terrible. My photos come out dark and in places greeny and just generally poor-looking. The Windows Phone twitter account posting a link to a website which gave great tips about ISOs and other things which greatly increased camera quality but I accidently reset the settings and am back to poor photos, does anyone have the link or tips of their own? Thanks in advance :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Raziel.The.Fallen:
I personally have the following settings for the camera and I think it works pretty ok.

White Balance: Auto

Exposure Value: -0.5

ISO: 200

Effects: Normal

Contrasts: Normal / low

Saturation: Normal

Focus Mode: Macro

Resolution: 7MP

Flicker Reduction: 50Hz

and Flash turned off

check out my Lumia 800 snaps here :)

:cowboy:
[Nokia Lumia 800] Crisarancibia:
Nice one!

works perfctly for me, thank you :P
[Nokia Lumia 800] Arpiben:
Thanks for sharing.

Anyway, are you sure about your focus settings: Macro? Unless you are shooting at less than one feet distance it should be in Normal.

Regards
[Nokia Lumia 800] chigz:
Exactly what i was thinking because i used it with MACRO focus mode at a distance the images where blur when zoomed and checked and as i can c all his snaps are mostly the ones at short distances so for him Macro setting worked fine.

i customized it with 8mp with just ISO valued at 200, exposure:0 & meter mode to Center and still getting good quality images :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] fbloise:
Thanks for the tips guys, will try them on my Lumia.

On thing though, I have had 3 lumias so far, first one in December 2011 and had the usual pink hue. Then like a month ago I had another one, this time with the greenish tint so I sold it.

Yesterday I've got one with the Orange UK payg offer and this one takes excellent photos. Could it be Nokia used different camera modules, some with more quality than others?
[Networking] Azure1203:
So I'm looking at buying a zBoost YX545 to help boost my signal inside. The system works good at duplicating the signal outside, which at the moment isn't that great so I want to add a directional antenna to enhance the signal it picks up.

They want around $160 for a dual band outdoor antenna that picks up both 850 and 1900mhz at the same time. There are two antennas.

My question is, wouldn't something like this work?

http://www.amazon.ca/Wide-Band-Dire...ectronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1346874533&sr=1-3-spell

It is a wide band directional antenna that does everything from 700-2700mhz, so technically it should cover 850 and 1900 right?

Otherwise I'll just buy one that does 850mhz and be done with it. Thanks.
[Networking] Wi-Ex Tech:
We offer a log antenna, part # CANT-0041, that will cover the 700-2200 MHz frequencies. We recommend this antenna for use with the YX545 as it matches connectors and OHMs of our YX545 base unit.

We will match the pricing of Amazon for you, please contact us directly at support@wi-ex.com or (800) 871-1612 and we can setup an order for both the YX545 and CANT-0041. Also, please ask about upgraded RG-6 coax cable that will also improve performance of the system.
[Networking] kevindd992002:
The CANT-0041 will also work for the YX-520I, right?

Regarding the base station antenna, what is the impedance (OHMS) of the antenna included in the YX-520I? I'm assuming that it is 50 ohms because you are using an RG-8X cable for your other US signal boosters, right?
[Android Apps and Games] jameslfc5:
Had this app with my PS3 and everything worked perfectly, since getting an XBOX 360 I can't get anything to show up

Any idea why please?
[Android Apps and Games] jameslfc5:
Anyone got this working on their XBOX?
[Nokia Lumia 920] tboy2000:
I know HTC have yet to announce their phones but let's pretend we only have these two choices. Which one would you buy from these two choices? Both phones have positives and negatives. The Ativ S is thinner, lighter, bigger screen, micro sd slot, The Nokia doesn't have these Ativ's positives. The Nokia has a better camera but has no sd slot, smaller screen, thicker and heavier. Yes the Nokia also has wireless charging but that is a feature for home/office and doesn't really benefit when you are out using your phone.

So I am torn between the two phones. I like a bigger, thinner phone with sd card but I like Nokia's camera tech. Perhaps the Samsung's camera would be sufficient.

I think 55% am leaning towards the Ativ and 45% towards the Nokia. Not sure if HTC will tempt me again. Have owned nothing but HTC phones and their usb ports fail after a while due to the constant plugging in to charge. I guess that is where Nokia's wireless charging is a plus - saves wear on ports.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ruyzalim:
if samsung one comes with hdmi i will buy it :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] batna.antab:
Nokia! It has a better display(1280x768 RGB), brighter and has some unique features like the super sensivity and the smoother scrolling, I also like the Nokia design more, has better camera(also with unique things), and maybe also for better audio quality as all the Samsung phone that I had had awful quality(maybe with wp it can change who know?) And I love Nokia apps.

I really don't like Samsung's display...
[Nokia Lumia 920] monotheist:
Nokia looks good, but not impressed with the colors, Wish they had cyan again, not sure why they dropped it for the 920.

Still undecided. But if I want a better camera , better camera lens apps and features apps then Lumia it is.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ACE_forever:
I will definitly go with the nokia.why?

Because it look sexy like the lumia 800/900. Very good hardware and WP8 :D
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
I don't want to go with a PenTile screen again. The 0.3 inches difference of the display is not really an issue to me as is the thinness of the device. What I believe will still be interesting is battery life, given that the Ativ S features a stronger battery. If the stabilized camera on the Lumia delivers on it's promises that is what will make the decision for me (unless HTC shows something that is clearly in another league - and a Quadcore phone even if it has superior performance won't make the needed difference for me).
[Nokia Lumia 920] Mafiatounes:
I will go for the Lumia 920.

Hardware and software wise Nokia clearly has an advantage over Samsung and i don't mean on paper but the actual quality of image sensors, materials and music quality will be better on Nokia as well as exclusive apps.

[Nokia Lumia 920] eddy4823:
Nokia,

Reason : Exclusive apps and frequent updates.
[Nokia Lumia 920] DavidinCT:
I would look at them both but, Nokia 920 might be the one but, I want to see what HTC has to show before moving forward.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tboy2000:
I can't believe that WP8 supports microSD and Nokia decide to leave it out of the 920. Crazy!
[Nokia Lumia 920] batna.antab:
32gb for me is enough...

It seems that you really hate Nokia...
[Nokia Lumia 920] hitechchef:
Nokia: LTE, Best in class camera (Carl Zeiss lens), 2000mAH battery, sexy looking, multiple colors, nokia maps, does not look anything like an iphone. And samsung cannot hold light to their customer service (IMO). Nokia for me.:p
[Nokia Lumia 920] agp64:
Glad your Nokia customer service is good here in Thailand they are useless.

I will wait until HTC show there hand. But most likely end up with a 920 if the camera is as good as they say (shame it so heavy though, And no sd slot :silly:).
[Nokia Lumia 920] ceesheim:
it has the max size of mass storage already build in so there is not really any need to give it an extra sd slot (if you go to the max with the 820 you have 40 GB and the 920 "only" 32GB )

and if you had the skydrive longer then you have 25 GB not 7 GB
[Nokia Lumia 920] narta:
ATIV S: user replaceable battery, MicroSD, SAmoled, lighter and not looking like clown (Black/Grey)
[Nokia Lumia 920] voyager_s:
Agreed.

If the Nokia 920 had micro SD then it would have been my choice. Its a big mistake I think not to include SD support. The handset looks awesome. I love the designs and the specs are very similar to the ativ under the hood.

But there's no forgiving the lack of SD cards here. Been there done that before. I would most likely go with the ativ s.
[Nokia Lumia 920] circleofomega:
Lumia 920 may be, but Samsung NEVER. Waiting for HTC to do its magic...
[Nokia Lumia 920] Zuckabaecka:
imo Nokia should subsidize both lumia devices.

The best way to get more WP8-Lumia-customers is to lure them with a really good price.

A normal customer goes to the store and compares the Lumia920 with other devices.

This normal customer doesn't know that WP8 doesn't need as much resources like android.

You don't need a quad-core CPU in a WP8 device but why should you pay 500€ (or more) for a dual-core Lumia920 when you get a SGS3 with quad-core for the same (or less) money?

A Lumia 920 for 350€ would do the job.

This bargain would get media-hyped and this is what Nokia needs.

When the market share is good enough they can adapt the price.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

on topic... i would choose the Lumia 920.

I like the design of the Ativ S more but the Nokia features are the reason why the Lumia 920 is my first choice.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Gadgety:
I'm just thinking - don't these have MHL?? They should.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

I would expect MHL on both.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

Nope. Wrong. No MHL on the 920. Amazing. Does it have Apt-x at least? Nope. Apt-x is BT 4.0.

I cannot believe that Nokia has licensed apt-x, are making a great bt headset with active and passive (in-ear) noise cancellation, but the new Flagship 920 doesn't have apt-x. Why pay for the license??
[Nokia Lumia 920] tboy2000:
i dont hate nokia. What a stupid assumption to make.
[Nokia Lumia 920] lumpaywk:
But if you had 32gb built in and yu added a 32gb card you would have 64gb and I for one agree this is a big loss as my zune is getting to old and I don't really want another mp3 player but at only 32gb I would have to compromise.

That said I don't wee a world where I wont buy the 920 on release day the camera looks amazing and so does the screen and for that I can keep my zune a bit longer :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] eyeb:
noka for me, i like the camera button :S And the nagivation system... the two things I enjoy outside of phone usage is real world interaction... Meaning, I can take photos of what I'm seeing, and be able to get there

Only thing that the Ativ has is a larger screen but not enough to tide me over...

And I really am partial to that yellow noka color :S I know some don't like it, but it's growing on me each time I see it
[Nokia Lumia 920] BrokenRetina:
You don't need 64gb for music. Are you that lazy to switch music once a week or month, since 32gb of music is already over 5 continuous days of listening at ~4mb/song.

My god wtf has happened to people.
[Nokia Lumia 920] MikeyMike01:
I don't see why anyone would get the Samsung over the Nokia.
[Nokia Lumia 920] voyager_s:
Oh my god...I thanked u by mistake. Big mistake. I meant to quote u.

Anyway...I don't see why anyone would not get the Samsung. It has everything the Nokia has hardware wise and more. SD card support for instance.
[Nokia Lumia 920] eyeb:
but it looks ugly to me :( yeah I know it's a personal taste... lol but samsung device is mostly galaxy form, with a different OS.

lumia's screen seems slightly better, brighter, and sensitive, and comes with hot spotting out of the box, better camera/software imo, and has button :D
[Nokia Lumia 920] MikeyMike01:
If you get the Samsung, you're stuck with the infinitely horrendous SAMOLED, garbage build quality, and half assed ****ty Samsung apps.
[Nokia Lumia 920] nicksti:
The most important things are me are:

1. Build Quality

2. Battery Life

3. Camera

The rest are intangibles.
[Nokia Lumia 920] agp64:
That Sums it up for me as well.

Just hope there is no echo bug on the 920 like my L900.
[Nokia Lumia 920] lovenokia:
It looks flashy but not like a clown, I think that the lumia 920 is a better buy mainly because of the camera and screen quality. I think that the screen quality will be better and the camera quality, and that alone justifies the purchase. If you need storage then go ativ s, but I think lumia 920 is much better.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Mesho Arc:
Lumia 920
[Nokia Lumia 920] mcosmin222:
Nokia 820 for me.

IMO it is the perfect handset: It has nice colors available, has SD card, and i don't really need a camera as powerful as 920's one.

Anyway, it will take some time before they release it here in my country so my guess would be that the lower tier devices will also show up by then, so there will be devices for pretty much everyone.

I do agree that it is kinda weird (not stupid) not to have an SD card on 920, but then again, it is not needed.

Samsung is out of the question for me, the name sounds weird to me (yes I'm a weirdo).
[Nokia Lumia 920] katamari201:
I've owned a ton of Samsung phones and played with multiple versions of the GS3. I'm over cheap flimsy snap-on backs and feeling like I'm holding a burn phone that I could crush in my hand if I squeezed too hard. Samsung makes good stuff, but I can't get past the physical design and materials, especially since they have no improved much since the original Galaxy S.

If you are deciding based on look, feel, and build, you really don't need to wait. Go to a phone store and look at the glossy white Lumia 900 (may be limited to the US I guess) and the GSIII. The Lumia 920 looks very similar to the glossy white lumia 900, and the Ativ S is just like the GSIII, with a different back, but it doesn't change the overall look that much. Which one do you like? IMHO, the GS3 is even cheaper feeling than the GS2, since the plastic feels even more bendable, with the frequently loose and thin back, and the whole thing is lighter. Samsung might be jumping the gun with their whole bendable phone concept since they don't have a mass market bendable OLED display yet...

Then there's the polarization, deep black, and brightness of the display, as well as the super sensitive touch, which seem to be all unique to the Lumia 920. The 720p penTile SuperAMOLED can be found on the GS3, Nexus, on the Note, and on the new Razr HD. I've seen it before multiple times, with slight variations of color or hue, but the wow factor is long gone for me. I'm thinking the new Nokia display will combine the best of IPS with the best of AMOLED, and the display looked great in videos under bright lighting at least.

Performance should mean absolutely nothing, since it is WP8. Same processor and RAM and everything on every phone. I don't really care much about the fancy Nokia apps, but I'm not the big city dweller that Nokia is catering to anyway with these apps. The OS experience in general, should all be the same on all phones.

The Lumia 800/900 had a terrible camera, blurry and murky. The new 8MP camera seems it will be the best of the bunch, ahead of other phones, but not by much. They sorta went from dead last to leading the pack. If they had actually put a real PureView sensor in there, even a downsized one, it would've been outta this planet. Oh well.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Yakkaimono:
I'll get the 920 as soon as it's out in germany. The Ativ might have some benefits like the screen size, thinness, battery and sd card but the benefits of the 920 are worth more to me.

The 32gb is plenty enough for me and from how it sounds the screen on the 920 should be better than that of the one x and lumia 900 which are really good in my opinion.

I personally prefer the looks of the nokia way more than the samsung. The camera should definitely be better and what really won me over was that you can finally operate a capacitive screen with gloves on and with other stuff.

That's a huge feature for me!

And somehow I have the feeling that samsung is still being halfhearted about their windows phones. I mean they only introduced one phone and harldy talked about it, like they were only doing it out of an obligation and nothing more.

Sure they weren't allowed talk about the OS but they could have pointed out some of the hardware a bit thoroughly. It's their flagship phone after all.

I would much rather support nokia for trying to bring some good apps and ideas to the platform. So the Lumia 920 is a no-brainer for me. :D
[Nokia Lumia 920] tboy2000:
Don't get me wrong this new super sensitive screen that allows glove input is great but not 100% a deal breaker. The reason being ordinary gloves already work on many current capacitive smartphones such as iPhone, Android and WP7 handsets. I own a pair of thin black leather gloves - silk lined and they work perfectly on any capacitive smartphone I have laid my hands on... well gloved hands :). As long as you use a pair of thin leather gloves - unlined or silk lined, they will work. If you don't believe me try it on your phone next time you are in a department store by the gloves section. I am 100% certain that gloves of this type will work on all WP8 handsets and not just the 920 so don't limit yourself just to the 920. As a bonus, they look smart and sophisticated as opposed to thick woollen gloves/mitts.
