[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tourney3p0:
Is there any way to fix the bluetooth audio quality other than switching to a CM-based ROM?

My old phone over bluetooth sounds fine. My S4 via a wired connection sounds fine. My S4 over bluetooth sounds like everything was sampled at 32 kHz. All other equipment is the same, so I'm relatively sure it's a bluetooth-specific issue. My girlfriend's S4 does the same thing.

So, any fixes? I'd really like to avoid switching to an aftermarket ROM right now.

Edit: L337 on AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gflare:
Random guess: Could this issue be caused by the adaptive sound feature? I'm not a true audiophile, but I haven't noticed a problem through my receiver in the car or at home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tourney3p0:
Try playing something with cymbals and a lot of treble. Turn the volume up a bit higher than normal while still maintaining a reasonable level. The cymbals sound like someone is smacking a plastic grocery bag with a stick instead of being crisp and clean like they should be. I can then disconnect the S4, connect my old phone, and play the same mp3 without any sound distortion. Or I can play the same mp3 from the S4 via aux and it sounds fine.

Try it on both bluetooth and aux. If you truly don't notice a difference, I guess it must just be my phone. If it does do it however, you definitely don't need to be an audiophile to hear it.

My old phone had the exact same problem until I moved to JB on a CM build. The problem there is well-documented as existing on the S3 (try looking up bitpool settings), but I kind of figured they would have fixed it by now. I'm coming from the world of HTC, so I was hoping there is a fix for Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tourney3p0:
Sorry to revive this thread, but I have an update.

My car has built-in bluetooth for phone only, so no a2dp. I have a third-party bluetooth adapter that I'm using for music.

I've found that when both of these are connected, the audio quality (especially on trebles and guitars with distortion) is absolutely terrible. That was the point of my original post. Since then, I've determined that this happens ONLY when I am paired with both my car and my third-party bluetooth. I can actually pair and unpair from my car in real time and hear the audio quality immediately get better/worse. The quality gets worse immediately when it pairs, even if the car bluetooth is not in use (but still connected).

I've verified this is the case with both my phone and my girlfriend's S4. Can anyone with such a setup verify this does or does not happen for them? I'm thinking this is a bug with the bluetooth stack, and it'd be nice if it could be fixed. If anyone can try pairing to two different devices and confirm my problem, I'll start a bug report with Samsung. Otherwise I'll try another bluetooth adapter for a2dp.

Adobe flashplayer For ARM v6....

this is a modded version of adobe 10.3 with change in libs ..... so its a mixed version ..... and its workinng 100% on arm v6 .... i have tested on my phone.......

this is my first post pls tell you opinion about this adobe flashplayer version......
[General Topics] Andrew Andrax:
Awesome... If you also want other versions of flash you can just Google adobe flash archive. Select the first entry and choose android for phone or tablet. Then choose the version of your android o's such as 2.2 or2.3 et al. Download the app. Save it to SD card then flash it from your phone by first using it using your file manager such as astro file manager. And enjoy viewing flash content in all your phone browser

Nb... You won't get any security updates coz flash is no longer supported in android

Install [NUT]'s dual recovery. As far as I know it's the only one that works properly with 4.2.2.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmoothSal:
This happens because the recovery actually is not associated with the kenel/bootloader.

It is actually installed on the android system. However, you can avoid this by flashing the recovery again after each time you flash an new rom.

Before you reboot, for sure.;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I was going to say that, but the OP states he is on a stock rooted rom, therefore it hasn't been lost because /system was overwritten.

It is true, however, that the recovery I linked to is the only one that works after the first time booting into it on stock 423 roms. If you look in the thread for CWM for locked bootloaders, you will see people complaining of the same problem as the OP. ;)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
If you're just installing mods with it, then it shouldn't disappear. If it does, then report it in the thread.

If you mean it disappears when installing a custom rom, then that is normal.

It says this in the OP of the dual recovery thread -

[QUOTE ]

Be sure to flash lockeddualrecovery2.5.1-RELEASE.zip after installing the ROM and before you reboot, this way you will not lose recovery![/QUOTE]
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fish droid:


no it disappears after i mount the system permissions as writable and reboot

of course i know that i should flash the dual recovery after i install a new rom :rolleyes:

but this happened before with cwm and twrp
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Firstly, (from what I am reading in various threads), the versions of CWM and TWRP available in the development section do not work properly with 4.2.2 and will definitely disappear after a reboot in 4.2.2 based roms.

Have you installed version 2.5 of the dual recovery, as that is required for 4.2.2 roms? Earlier versions will also disappear after a reboot, I believe.

If so, have you manually updated your version of busybox? This can stop the dual recovery working according to what [NUT] Says in his thread.

If none of that applies, go report it to [NUT] in the dual recovery thread. I'm sure he will be happy to help.

Sennheiser and Creative

Two headphones that I have tested to be working perfect on Nexus 4 are -

1) Sennheiser cx 275s(has an inbuilt mic and a call recieve/end button) but is a bit costly.

2) Creative EP630 ( no inbuilt mic/Volume control).

Maybe Philips citiscape uptown? they are a bargain for the quality
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
There are lots of good brands and you can go up to $300 or more depend on the models. Most of the expensive ones tends to be in ear monitors however, which isn't ideal, but Sennheiser and Etymotic are worth looking at.

For open earbuds, I use the palm pre headset which is cheap, but the sound quality is pretty decent for the price and its durable too: http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Stereo-Headset-Pixi-Pre/dp/B002CMEIW0/ It have a mic button.

I personally love the Sol Republic Amps HD, but that's about 100USD, the Regular Amps is about $50USD, which is good, just not as bass-y. They are super light and super comfy in my ears. I recommend them for day to day listening.

Honestly im dissappointed with the cx300ii or any low end sennheiser...the expensive ones are great but sennheiser is not that great for budget-fi audio quality. You want better everything i suggest looking at the jvc fx3x or fx101. Soundmagic e10 is also good along with audio technica ckm50

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 AM ----------

Cx300ii lack bass imo. My friend at school has a pair and he let me listen to them. Very dark, bass is there and accurate but no quantity whatsoever. Then i let him listen to the jvcs i had and now he bought them from me just because they are that much better. I own a pair of sony xb90ex which creates bass so real and wide it literally feels like you are in a movie theater.

Recently got the Quad beats by LG and I love them compared to my tours. They sound significantly better and don't have the sound leak like my tours or apple buds. The mic is good for calls too and there's a play button that doubles for hanging up calls.

For $21 I would recommend these, especially since they block external noise for the most part and fit great in my ears.

Middle button actions for Soundmagic E10M?

Can you provide the actions that the middle button can perform? Can it activate Google Now (maybe by holding it down)? I'm thinking about getting these. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenzic:
Mine have unfortunately broke :'(. But they are a great set with nice warm bass. For using the middle button and that this app is great for customizing what it does.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...um=organic&utm_term=headset+button+controller

The mic works fine with my nexus 4 and many music players natively support basic functions of one click, two click for play/pause and skip track respectively. That app allows you to customize long press, so yes you'll be able to use Google now with that. The volume buttons don't work however with android but I never found that to be an issue.

I'm in the market for a new pair but might just get these again. What other ones are you looking at?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightymos:
Thinking about getting these...

Thinking about getting the Sennheiser MM30i or the Soundmagic E10m that you have. Buttons probably function exactly the same as you have explained. I'm stuck between the two haha.

I was looking at them sennheisers.

I also was looking at these http://www.rha-audio.com/uk/headphones/ma600i.html they look just as good I think and come with a 3 year warranty. Just to let you know I went through 3 pairs of sound magic due to faults developed. Other pairs I was looking at are

The official word from ALK who make CoPilot is

"it looks like Sony have depreciated some of the libraries in their latest OS update to 4.2.2 which has caused this error in CoPilot as it requires certain libraries at the OS level to continue to work. We're trying to find out which libraries have been depreciated by Sony so we can create a fix. We have a Xperia Z but unfortunately it's not receiving the update to 4.2.2 at this time."
