Hey, I'm all for giving something a go but this isn't something I have any need for. If I wasn't game for flashing something I wouldn't be using Android! May I also ask why not listening to music on a PHONE (key word there) is ridiculous? My phone is a communications tool for my work and personal life, so it's primary use is calls (obviously), SMS, email, Twitter, Facebook and Internet access. I don't game on it, I don't listen to music on it.

I don't need a high volume ringer cause my phone is always in my pocket (not 30 feet away - what's the point of a mobile phone that you don't keep on you?) so for me this guide is useless. I'm sure some may find it useful if you re-wrote it to make a bit more sense.

My ORIGINAL issue was it has nothing to do with Q&A - where is the question you've answered? If it's a guide then it should really go in the thread for the app in question to help users of that app set their phones up or, at a push, General for Nexus owners

As a professional audio engineer, sounds like to me like you're being fooled simply by volume and compression. No, I have not installed and listened to the programs you're talking about. I'm simply judging them by the names of the settings you're saying to tweak. Hard signal strength to me means loud (most things sound better when they're louder), soft clipping means it's allowing the system to slightly peak (distort) while placing a brick wall limiter in the audio path to allow the audio to be a loud as possible without actually giving the listener a distorted listening experience. This what what radio stations do. I would guess that if you were to take the headphone jack out to a recording interface and record the audio coming out, it would be nothing but a solid blocked waveform with no dynamic range.

Do your ears often feel fatigued after listening to music with these settings?

Here's an image that shows you what I'm talking about. This is actually comparing a song on vinyl to the same song on a CD but it get's my point across. The top waveforms are vinyl and the bottom are from the CD. Notice the clear peaks and valleys in the vinyl waveforms compared to the hard flat edges seen on the cd waveforms. Now imagine the CD waveforms compressed even more and that's probably what you're listening to.

Thank you for your post. I appreciate the information. I don't understand what you mean by being fooled though. Your ears hear what they hear. You are 100% correct about everything the only thing I can tell you is using your phone with headphones (preferably B-class driver CANS) sounds really good. The reason for Hard somcpression and sof-clipping specifically with this device is the audio is so low to begin with if you can force the DAC to go louder these settings sound good possible because of the lack of vloume already on the phone. I do tend to turn things down a few notches now to make it comfortable for longer periods. Before the phone would fatigue my ears and sound terrible because I was forced to turn it up all the way just to enjoy the music. (rocking out if you will) This audio plug actually gives the device responsive bass...The DSP settings do use virtualization tricks to make the sound more pleasant however the untweakable sound engines installed are very real and use some beats,some dobly, xlouder from sony, etc etc etc. The best advice I can give you is just flash it ...after a backup of course. As long as you rom is up to date it should work and I would really appreciate if reverred opinions from sound engineers would lend some credability to the post.

Thanks much, -OP :highfive:

Is this post really about purity of sound? In a smartphone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrgilbert79:
Hey this post is about teaking lemons and making lemondade...Honestly the phone is awesome even for an old Gal except audio. Will this mod be as good as a professional setup? NO! But why hinder people who have the phone and want to use it to play music while they do (whatever). No one should judge me because I listen to music on it instead of exclusively on something that cost thousands of dollars. That being said...I am at a loss for words why no one has went over to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923630

...and tried it. When it takes 5-10 minutes to make a backup on CWM or TWRP and flash something that you could use while ..(lets say camping) to listen to tunes pleasantly instead of barely being able to drown out the wildlife noises. Discalimer: The MOD will not force you to listen to music exclusively on your smart phone. It might however open up narrow minds to the the ability of the phone to be far superior to an iPOD. So please try this, even if you do there is not need to revert because it doesnt break or take away from anything it only betters your device should you get stuck in an elevator with someone you hate maybe you can make there annoying voice disappear.

What I can say 100% is this is BETTER than stock period. There is no question and unless you have tried it and didn't like it then you can't contribute here. It MIGHT be the BEST audio setup for the phone right now...will we have something better in the future? I don't know but it will probably be AC!D AUDIO 6.0 (the updated MOD).

And just to clarify I could not give two douces if anyone thanks me...I don't know you, will never know you, and really would refuse to shake most of your hands if I did meet you because no one has done anything to help in this thread so far. People are so rediculous that they havnt even been searching for something to fix the poor audio that I have been crawling forums since Nov 2011 when I stood in line for 3 hours just to say AWwwwwww...when I fired up the music player. Now it is acceptable and I want to pass on the good word. :eek: All I have gotten is flak from DJ's and forum etiquette gurus.

Thanks, Joe :fingers-crossed:

By "fooled" I mean, listen to a song you're unfamiliar with at a low-moderate volume, then listen to it with just a 3-5db gain... you'll think the slightly louder version sounds a lot better. Try it out.

Along those same lines, why do you think the general, non-audiophile, public thinks Beats headphones are the greatest thing since ice cream? Aside from them being the trendy accessory to ones wardrobe, people swear by their sound. I can say that I have listened to several Beats headphones, do they sound bad? No, I'd venture to say they sound good but not great. I'd never own a pair and I certainly would never use them in the studio. So why do so many people think they're so awesome? Because they are designed to have an over-hyped bass and treble response. People hear hyped bass and think "DANG! This is pumpin!" then they notice the extra treble and say "wow, these sound crisp!" They're being fooled and they're also being forced to listen to the music in a way that wasn't intended.

You were dogging something one else for using "flat-response" Sennheiser's, remember? The fact is, flat response headphones, earphones, speakers, and studio monitors is what audiophiles go after. Flat doesn't mean dull or boring, it means clean, pure, and untainted. With a flat response speaker you're hearing what the audio truly sounds like, which then allows you to make better adjustments to the audio. Think about it, if I mix a song using Beats headphones and then you play it back in your car, they first thing you'd say is "Where's the bass?" Well, my ears were fooled by the over-hyped bass on the Beats that I thought it had plenty! You'd then notice how the track doesn't sound very clean and crisp, why? Because once again the over-hyped treble of the Beats threw my ears off and made me think the high end was where it needed to be and any more adjustments to it would just make it sound tinny.

Hopefully that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrgilbert79:
Hey I think you got confused... The beats headphones are class C garbage...we agree. What the mod does is borrow some settings from the beats audio drivers found in HTC phones and use them with other sound engines to push the DAC in the phone a bit harder. I knew I had found somehting man-ly when my V-Modas and Audio Technicas were pushed hard enough to lend additional battery drain. Dont take that as an always thing in ear canal buds cant pull enough juice to cause battery drain but before the mod both sets of cans were not being driven hard enough to make them sound much better than skull candies.

I agree with you about mixing music...as well but I am using this to push more bass on pre mixed songs and tweaking the flat reponse to my liking...I feel that too many people in here think that I am telling you how to listen to music...I am not Dr. Dre or Dr. Phil so I cant really tell you what your problem is without an actual PHD. What I can tell you is exactly what you said the mod give you the ability to tweak 6 frequencies in an EQ which is more than you get out of the box (and is better than nothing).

Thanks, Joe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jt.one:
why is this thread not moved and or closed yet?

1) sorry OP, but this is the Q&A section, basically if you're gonna start a thread/post in this section; it has to be either:

a) looking for help

b) answering common questions that others have asked

c) asking a damn question.

from what i read in the OP; this seems like a "guide" of sorts, that you should have started in the [Galaxy Nexus General] section.

also when you answered "also if you cant put statements in here they wouldnt have included a box to check that says this is a question" to eddyOS in the first page,

1) the box to check "is this a question", why does it seem weird to have that option in the QUESTION AND ANSWER thread?

2) i still dont understand why you put your "statement" thread into the "question/answer" section of the forum. that didn't strike you as odd when you wrote the post?

c'mon now.

PS

im not an audiophile so i cant comment on your "guide" but if you think and or know that your guide is good stuff, just leave it at that- no need to start bashing others and ridiculing their "music taste/knowledge". btw, 3 pages and not a single thanks! yet like you predicted. odd huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jt.one:
once again, i am 100% sure that your guide is good stuff for the right people, but you are being i guess "attacked" by others simply because

1) its in the wrong section. i know it, others know it, but you refuse to accept it. sure we all make mistakes and maybe post in wrong places, but A LOT of new-ish/(low count) members have been doing this throughout the years and i guess the older guys are probably tired of seeing it over and over and might lash out every now and then; *shrugs* hey it happens.

2) the words "perfect/best/ultimate/etc/etc" is sort of a taboo around here, if you didnt know :laugh:

3) also, yes your OP is a bit messy. the use of ellipses throughout your post doesnt help your cause, just FYI.

btw, if you wrote this thread up in the [General Section], cleaned up your writing a bit, and renamed the thread to something less aggressive like "Optimal Setup for G.Nex Audio" and ended your post with a "Try this out and discuss how it went for you!" instead of "Enjoy your buttery smooth eargasm that I have bestwoed upon you.." people will notice your thread more/actually take some time to try it out/discuss their experience with your suggested combo of mods.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

once again, you linking me to several threads- it doesnt refute my posts

btw, notice how all those threads you linked- what was in common?

humble people ASKING FOR HELP/QUESTIONS... in the QUESTIONS/ANSWERS section of the forum. shocking isn't it! :eek:

1) you still dont get the fact that your posted in the wrong damn section

2) you still dont get that you came off a little brash/aggressive

3) you still dont get that instead of "defending your post", you ridiculed/bashed other members

4) you posted in the wrong damn section!

as i said earlier, had you started this "guide thread" in the right section, cleaned up the writing a bit(because if you are going to do any sort of "guiding" you better have a neat, polished post) and came off less aggressive instead of "god-like" ... you would 100% have supporters and or people willing to try your mod combo out.

Would it be possible to implement the "[MOD][KERNEL] Battery Life eXtender (BLX) " for Note 10.1?

Since the Note 10.1 had a non-user replaceable battery, I think it would be best to keep the battery in the best shape possible to prolong the battery life.

Charging the battery beyond 80-90% destroys the battery performance over time.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] varun.k:
Hi, need some help,

I got this phone a couple of days back, its an unlocked one. Battery on the phone seems to be draining faster than i expected it to. The first time i charged it, it took 3 hours in the afternoon. By night it was 20% this was after playing games and downloading through wifi, so it seemed ok. I then put it for charge overnight. The next day it still seemed to drained by 7pm only used whats app this day, so i had to put for charge again.

Once fully charged (2 hrs) I shut off wifi, bluetooth, nfc and others. Switched off smart stay options and the display is set to lowest brightness (not auto). The wallpapers is also black so it will not drain battery. Overnight without the phone being used (only thing i set was alarm) the charge went from 89% to 78%. During the day I also find the charge still dropping pretty rapidly. I have included the screen shot of the battery from the same day. Between the first pictures there is no difference in use and still drops by 3% in 20 mins or so.

Is this a problem with the battery or is that how it is?

(Stock, no changes to rom)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] adr6ian:
Not sure if this is your specific problem - but one thing I've found that kills this phone fast is bad 4G cell reception. By default the phone runs as LTE/GSM/WCDMA (Auto) in Settings->Mobile Networks . If you are in a location with patchy (or none at all) 4G Coverage, the phone wastes an inordinate amount of juice switching to high-power mode on the cell radio searching for the elusive 4G/LTE ... Just like a 3G phone will deplete its battery extremly fast in a location with no/poor 3G connectivity (inside the 'secure' datacentres I wander into occasionally that have cell blockers, I can deplete the battery in a phone in about 3 hours just due to it constantly switching to high-power 'cell search' mode as it has no details on any cells to 'hand off' to....)

The difference is palpable... inside my office, if I have the phone on the right side of my desk closest to some windows, it will receive 'patchy' 4G and I'll go through about 60% battery over about 8-10 hours with intermittent phone use (most of the battery goes to screen time as I'm a 'fiddler' whenever I leave my desk for a coffee/break/etc...) If I place it on the left side of my desk, where the reception is much worse, it'll fall back to 3G and I'll go through about 80% battery doing nothing different...

I'm now in the habit of switching the phone to WCDMA Only when I'm going to be working in the bowels of the building, as there aint no hope of 4G there...Doing this drastically improves battery life.. Likewise if I'm stuck at home over the weekend, I leave it on WCDMA, as where I live has very patchy 4G as well and I only get it if I walk outside and down the street...

Just a possible reason for the excessive drain... at least worth trying anyway... *shrug*

The system seems to really take up way too much battery power. Mine is at 4%.

What are your sync settings? Especially for things like Weather, stocks, news etc. If you set them to sync every hour or so, your phone will keep running on the 3G network which will end up draining your battery.

Also, switch off motion. It's a cool feature, but it's not necessary. Same with auto-rotate.

Finally, use WiFi instead of 3G where possible. That saves battery too.

If you're rooted, download noFrills CPU control and reduce your max clock frequency on days where you won't get a charge. Phone runs well enough on 800mhz, but has a tendency to keep going at 1.4Ghz for no reason.

Otherwise, get a higher capacity battery :D

I have stared having the same problem a couple of days ago. Though I have sync enabled 0-24 for 3 gmail accounts, motions are on, screen auto rotate is also on. I am using nova launcher, almost all Samsung apps are frozen and most of time I am on wifi.

Now, this drain has nothing to do with the stuff I just mentioned (Enabled sync, motions...). I have all that things enabled all the time, and yes MPU and GPU are OC to 1600 and 640 MHz. But I was always getting >= 24h with ~3,5 h of screen on time. As I already mentioned, problem started a couple of days ago. Only thing which comes to my mind is that I have played with freezing / defrosting apps and I probably installed a couple of apps too. Like Beautiful Widgets and that's my main candidate to blame for this at the moment.

Though I am still not sure... Better than battery stats didn't show anything what could help. Network location locator or similar is at the top of the list of partial wake locks. But the time it hold the lock (About 25 min.) can't be the reason for such a high drain.

I have switched to HD Widgets, what I was using before (With this app one can disable auto location.) removed Beautiful Widgets, and turned off'Use wireless networks' and GPS in location services hoping it will help... So we'll see...
