I'm using Westone um2 my opinion best under $350.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Radukk:
Buy

Shure SE535 $440, SE425 $300, SE315 $200

Etymotic ER-4 $250

Westone UM3X $280, UM2 $225

Sennheiser HD 650 $500, HD 600 $400, HD 558 $160

AKG K702 $270

Starting from hearing aid products, long history producing musical equipment, actually do R&D for headphones, and those are recognized as reference headphones.

Do not buy

Beats, Skullcandy, Bose (overwhelming bass)

If you want a fancy looking one.. choose Sony MDR-1RBT.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cloaker:
I've owned several pairs under 175 and the best I've found are the $15 skull candy ones. Try those out before you spend more.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

Overwhelming bass? The $15 skull candy that I have are very well balanced. Bose had so much bass you couldn't hear anything else.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SoM3_Idi0t:
Bose ie2 FTW. I use poweramp with them. Can skip tracks with the lil remote/mic. I wouldnt buy anything else.

I like the way the fit in my ear And when im out riding on my road/mtn bike the dont slip out when Im sweating.

For the guys who say they have overwelming bass, what are you using for a musicplayer? Any other headphones seem to be more on the 'treble' side for me.....

To each there own.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] neo_styles:
Honestly, aside from the VSonics and Brainwavz models that I already mentioned, I wouldn't consider Etymotic unless you need the hf2's remote. The ER-4 used to be great and I had a good ride with them, but stepped up to some Shure SE530s and the difference was night and day. STILL, I'd rather run the VSonic. Westone are nice if you can afford the audiologist appointment and custom molds, and I will personally NEVER run Bose, Monster, or Beats (btw, Monster=Beats and don't let anyone tell you otherwise...same build house and everything).

Need another clean, SQ-oriented set for around 60 bucks that you can legitimately work out with? Try the Sennheiser CX680. I ran the i variant with my 4S for a decent amount of time and they sound great with clean bass (not overemphasized), stay in place, are sweatproof, and don't start to hurt after 5 minutes of wear.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Eric214:
haha you need to check out NuForce NE-600X... They are Sound Isolating Earbuds. They are metal and for $25 on Amazon they sound better then any earbuds $100 or less.

http://www.wired.com/reviews/2012/10/nuforce-ne-600/
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] neo_styles:
Take any major magazine's reviews with a grain of salt, man. It comes down to the sound signatures you like best, after all. If you look at the popular choice for over-the-ear-budget cans (Grado SR60), they get universal acclaim. Put them on your ears, however, and most will hate the way they sound. Same with the B&O models you'll find at Apple stores. NuForce excels in DACs and headphone amps on the cheap, but I wouldn't put too much stock in their buds.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Eric214:
I picked up a pair and they are sweet. nice rich bass but still doesnt drown out the highs. Best buds i have bought and compared them to a pair of bose that a friend has and they sound way better.

It is preference but for all around buds... you aren't likely to find much better at a reasonable price.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] rishabh_18:
Thank you everybody, I picked up a bose on ear headphones for 400dollars
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] penanogs:
Absolutely right, sound stage comes from your personal ears no matter what is written. As the OP asked best under his budget. I'm sure buying 20 pairs of $25 headphones/earphones or iem's was not what was intended.

Would also love to see where UM 2 sells for $225?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] msavic6:
Anybody using the V-Moda M-100 with the S4?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
What went wrong with this thread? The OP got a $400 set of Bose headphones, what?!

Also, many people really do like how the SR60 sound.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] adrianjr84:
The ones that come with the phone are horrible. You're better off buying some apple ear pods.. they sound amazing andb their only $30. .bass is nice too. I'm using my old iPhone 4s headphones and they sound better than the Samsung stock ones.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] neo_styles:
You know...I'm wondering the same exact thing. Did he grab the QCs? Furthermore, why shell out your entire budget on the cans themselves when they're probably not sensitive enough to be run from the phone's headphone jack in the first place?

If you're still in your return window, get a refund on those Bose and find a solid 200-dollar pair of cans (something like the Audio Technica ATH-M50) and a solid headphone amp (like a Schiit Magni or Asgard if you're looking for stationary listening or Fiio E11 if you need something portable).

Here's my gripe about Bose: they prey off the misinformed. You have a sound signature that takes out practically all of the upper midrange/lower treble and slams the sound energy through its midbass and subbass frequencies. It is nowhere near what I'd consider accurate, even, or clear sound.

Oh and I personally love the way the SR60s sound, but most people who have bought them off my recommendation didn't like how neutral they were and exchanged them in favor for something a little more lively. My personal fave set of cans to date are the Audeze LC3, but they NEED an amp and are nowhere near what I'd consider portable.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Agreed across the board.

ATH-M50 and an amp would be a far better choice. Within a $400 budget would allow to get something like the Lecketerton UHA-6S.MKII DAC/amp combo that could be run off USB audio and also be used with laptop/desktop if they don't already have a solution like that. Would provide incomparably better sound than what they have got.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceXMachine:
I have a Dinc that bootloops at the splash screen. I can get into Hboot/Fastboot but cannot get into Recovery (bootloops again). I was able to flash the latest(?) 4.08.605.15 PB31IMG but no change. The device is S-on with the 1.07 hboot. There are several possible ways to recover the device but only if I can flash the .77 ENG Hboot (or get S-off somehow). I have the Hboot img but it will not flash. If i try to flash in hboot it just reads the file then skips it. If I try to flash through fastboot it gives me a signature verify error. I have tried flashing it with the HTCdev unlock and with it relocked but no dice. I believe my only hope is to try and repartition the device or flash a nv image that I have for the Dinc but I am gonna need an ENG bootloader/S-Off for that.

Anyone know any tricks I may have missed or know of a way to get S-off with only hboot/fastboot?

Thanks for any assistance as I have been working on this on and off for a week now, I appreciate any help

Hello,

I have a question about google maps on I9505. Maps app is using too much battery although I have not turned them on. I have disabled google now and turned of Location reporting in google maps... As you can see in pictures, maps have used 13% of my battery, and stay awake time is 1 h 23 minutes :/ It is really too much because I do not use them. I have sent a question to Samsung Croatia about this but I didn`t get an answer :(

Does anyone else experience this problem? :)

EDIT: I have tried to disable the app using Application Manager and then Android OS asked me if I want to uninstall the updates... You can not disable the app but when I uninstalled the updates (Latest update was 14.05.2013.) maps stopped using the battery or at least it does not show on battery usage statistics :) Will try that for a few days and report back if that is working :)

EDIT 28.05.2013.

Now I know that the problem is in the new version of google maps. After uninstalling upades everything works perfectly and battery lasts much longer!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mittaa:
Did you try to force it to stop running and clearing cache and data?

You can do it from within Settings --> Program Manager --> Google Maps
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:
i think most of us do... we will have to wait for an maps update. i have deleted maps until it is fixed... when i need maps i will just download it again... not worth wasting battery on :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mittaa:
Haven't had this problem yet :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikocijan0:
I do not want to force close it. That is not the way you should handle android apps. Force closing doesn`t do anything good...

Now I am relieved :D I thought it was only my phone :) I do not want to delete it because I use them often, and it is a real pain when you want to download them again because mobile connectivity sucks in most parts of Croatia :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:
you could freeze it and unfreeze on need ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikocijan0:
I was thinking about that but I do not know how will that affect on the performance of the app :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mittaa:
Just stop it before you clear cache and data.

Then run Google maps again and see if it makes a difference ;)

BTW When I uninstall apps I always do in this way in order to avoid any leftover data/cache ...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikocijan0:
I am strongly againts force closing apps but I will try it :D forced closed it, cleared cache and data and checked stay awake time :D for now it is 13 minutes i 20 secondes :D Will check in 10 minutes and see if that helps :D

Thrust me, when you delete an app nothing remains :D The only thing that can remain is the data that app has stored on your external partition but that does not affect OS performance. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:
i dont know about that either.... but i guess if you freeze it.. it wont start.. when you unfreeze it... you can use it again :) i guess that is how it works.. dont think it will affect performance :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweak:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikocijan0:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mittaa:
True, but it wan't solve problem maps misbehave when running :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikocijan0:
The problem remains :/ After 10 minutes (I did not touch the phones), maps app was working 1 minute and 24 seconds in background :@ I really do not know what that app is doing in background!! :D I will try to disable it now, and see what hapens :)

EDIT: YOU CAN NOT DISABLE MAPS APP!! :@ ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS UNISTALL UPADES :( Now I will try with an old version of maps and try to see what will happen :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikocijan0:
I have tried to disable the app but then it asked me "Do you want to uninstall updates?". That is the only thing that I could have done :) After uninstalling updates maps app vanished from Battery usage statistic... that is very strange but I will see what will happen in a day or two and report back :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:

Hi

Can anyone tell me with total certainty if the S3 and S4 mains chargers are interchangeable with either device without long term damage? My S3 charger delivers 0.7A and my S4 charger delivers 2.0A

Obviously I have loads of S3 chargers and don't want to fork out for more for the S4 - would the S3 charger just charge the S4 slower? Would using the S4 charger damage the S3? I still need to use both phones (work/home)

Thanks!

Paul
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuartv:
Yes, the S3 charger will just charge the S4 at about 1/3 the speed of the S4 charger. Otherwise, it's fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul75_XD:
Thanks, I would expect that really but how about the other way around? Does anyone know what the max charge rate is for the S3? If I plug the S4 charger in it provides 2A is this too much for the S3? I have looked around and can't find any max charge rates :s
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason2k13:
Well you should test it out, have a battery app or widget on the S3 and charge it with the S4 charger. If it gets too hot, then its best to stick with the S3 charger.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiffany9123:
No, I think stuartv is making joke. With different currency, I think you can not use S3 charger to charge S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fstorm:
No, it's not a different current, it's just different power with the same voltage. Therefore, both chargers are interchangeable and it won't break any phone, no worries. If the S3 can't drain 2W (I don't know if it can), it'll just drain less.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul75_XD:
ah you mean the phone draws the power rather than the adapter pushing the power through the circuit?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calum96:
Charging any battery at a higher current will shorten the life of the battery, only sightly at those levels though, and vise versa charging at lowers currents will increase the life of the battery

[HTC One S] onevdavenson:
My old one v isn't that good as planned and it has graphic issues, now I want to buy a new phone and the htc one s is a very good phone I think, but I want to hear some of your opinions.

Should I buy it?

And another question: Is this battery life prob in jelly bean fixed or is it actually there? Would you update from ics to jb? And why?
[HTC One S] sGollSv:
The phone is good, but not best. It would be a problem if you would have a S3 snapdragon processor instead of the s4. Also some people have a sensitive phone like me. Than you have screen tearing alltime you have a cm10 based custom rom. Also if you want to flash a ROM you need to flash the kernel with a terminal unless you are S-OFF. I would advice you to pay a bit more for a top phone like the Galaxy S3. The S3 is a highend Smartphone. The One S only a mid-range.
[HTC One S] onevdavenson:
But what, if I buy the S4 version and let the phone on stock unrooted?

And that with the terminal is not a problem, I never did that an other way.
[HTC One S] yatindroid:
I don't know price situation in your country but I will suggest for add some more money try one X+ / GS 3

Battery life for One S is just fair if u stick to internet don't buy this one S because more power consumed & heats up

Xperia SP good in same price

HTC will launch M4 (mini One) soon try that but without sdcard slot & 10gb memory same as One S if really wanna this phone here some suggestions

S4 processor (S3 heats and p

20% less battery & less support of developers)

Color grey / white (black chipping problem)

64 GB variant available

If wanna root take care of S-OFF cid HTC_001

From HTC One S
[HTC One S] onevdavenson:
Thanks for the information, but I don't want a phone with a bigger screen than 4,3".

It would cost around 300€

And with Xperia, I only had bad experience. Sonys software is very bad in connection with the hardware. But that is only my opinion.

Thanks for the suggestions.
[HTC One S] yatindroid:
As I am also prefer 4.3" over any phone & HTC over any other brands

But 4.8" HTC's are few mm 2-3 bigger so you will not feel uncomfortable

For price one X+ is best option

From HTC One S
[HTC One S] 350Rocket:
This is my second one s, I sold the first one a year ago. This one I bought used and both have the best battery life of any smartphone I've had and its better than my gfs iPhone 4s.

No heating up ever and no screen tearing.
[HTC One S] onevdavenson:
The One X+ costs 2/3 more than the One S, I don't want to spend too much money for a phone.
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Go for the one s. But, only the s4 variant.

The only phone I would consider instead at this point is the new HTC one, but only if I could get it on contract for next to nothing. I believe the x+ has the tegra 3, so again I would choose the one s, especially since it's cheaper.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TotallyNotMikey:
I don't know, ever since I updated to the leaked 4.1, my phone just hasn't felt the same. It locks up 24/7, especially with the YouTube app. When I completely wiped my phone to put on the official firmware when it was released, it was even worse! Now I'm on the amazing Sakura Droid CM 10, which is awesome, cus I have unlimited 3G internet anyway. Ever since I switched to that, NONE of the problems I had existed.

My question is, is Jelly Bean for the Ace 2 poorly optimized? My phone ran MUCH better on 2.3.6.

I'd like to add that on my S2, it is also the same, though not as much. (Faster boot, fixes lockups faster).

I'm guessing it isn't optimized for the ARM processors.

ST-Ericsson, Qualcomm etc., they all utilize the general architecture of RISC(Reduced instruction set computing) managed, developed and promoted by ARM Holdings.

Thus, any processor that respects their core design is an ARM processor. Just different brands implementing the same general architecture.

And if the thread starter used any of the leaked beta roms, it's no wonder his phone works poorly.

Last night I went to turn it off and charge it up. Changed my mind and wanted to play some more. So when I turned it back on it went straight into recovery and will not boot past it. Everything I try to do it says error no command. The guy didn't seem to know much about phones and didn't mention it so I don't think it's rooted but I'm new to Samsung so I don't know. The recovery says Android System Recovery (3e) also at the bottom it says #manual mode#
