[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] prbdave:
I would have to say that the latest update has improved the sound quality a lot. In-call sound is better and speaker is louder. It has also fixed the bluetooth drop-outs for me so bluetooth music streaming quality is great now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kevincheong:
For me, I really feel the sound produced is not clear and loud. The sound is look like the speaker in the water. Really not decent. Waterproof is Sony's gimmick. Not many people will swim with phone. But many will prefer good sound from a high spec phone.

Sorry for my frank and faithful opinion as Xperia Z Ultra owner.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jacktherapper00:
Same here.

But its all about bull****ting around...

Not everybody whos complaining about a device, really owns it.

Its about making bad press. Producing a certain judgement, directing potential buyers straight away from the device, right into the hands of the fanboys love - whatever brand it is.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vyaschady:
Yes the sound is indeed low, but it's much better compared to the note 3

The sound quality is the Sony Xperia z Ultra is far superior to any phone sounds I have came across. But it is low, I remember with my rooted Note 2 and my UM Merlin, I was able to get decent satisfying sound. The xperia is good but not loud enough. So my solution is an external portable dac amp. It seems to do it quite well. But I still believe that is I rooted I would be able to go to its maximum potential. But not this time.The Xperia z Ultra does not need rooting for me. It's just that good.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Well I brought the phone because of its water/dustproof - ness, and I imagine lots of others did as well. Ok sound is not that flash, and I feel that it could have been improved by having twin speakers one where the ear speaker is, and in the same hole as the mike. I find that the sound is much improved if you cup your hand behind the speaker or place some thing to bounce the sound off beside it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Scruffyo_0:
Do people not check this stuff out before they buy/rent?

The transducer making the noise is less than a few millimeters in size... what are people expecting?

I bought the SBH52, the audio quality is great.

I've also bought this - a stunning bit of kit for 30AUD...

I've also modded Altoid tin amps to include Bluetooth and built my own sets of speakers, I'm not listening to my Ultra I've got other stuff to do that... I'm gazing at that screen!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I've read this thread for a while now... and i'm going to add my 10cents. This may piss some of you off.. but may also make a few smile. I'm guessing the members smiling, are my those that I would consider friends on here...

here we go...

The sound out of the speaker hardware

Firstly I'm not really sure why you would think this to be any better than it is.

Seriously?!?! You have a water proof device and want the speak to be loud? Thats like putting a silencer on a Glock18 and saying...

"stupid fricken gun didn't penetrate as much as without a silencer"

Thats the bloody point!!.. it minimises the sound at the expense of velocity...

Having the waterproof membrane will obviously reduce the sound output. So don't get angry with Sony.. get angry with SCIENCE !! !!

Solution:

STFU!

Sound is weak and not of great quality when plugging in VIA 3.5mm output

Basically you are someone that will never be satisfied. The Sony drivers have up to 320 kb/s sound quality. I know that means up to... but it sounds great in a headset or bluetooth peered device. There is no possible way to hear the difference in a head set anyway. Unless you've purchased the top AKG K3003 ($1,299.95)

FYI: most expensive headphones are Stax SR-009 ($5,250) other than Dr. Dre's personal set clustered in diamonds for $1,000,000.

So even if you want to moan about something... please actually back it up. Sony have a good hardware set in the Z! & Ultra. The S4 has slightly better... but even then you must have some pretty fantastic ears to detect the difference.

There is this guy in the UK that is paid millions and can detect sound quality. But this is $50 - 300,000 per hifi system. and I'm pretty sure that every member here hasn't got a system thats worth that. even mine is only $5,000 and I can't hear the difference between my Ultra and my Karan Acoustics KA180.

[General Questions and Answers] junglemike:
Hello fellas. I'm having trouble transferring my apps (and especially their settings) from galaxy S to galaxy nexus.

I'm using Titanium Backup to back up all data+settings, but I'm unable to restore anything - TB gives an error that it can't restore the app (or even just app's data)

I have done the same process when upgrading from Motorola Defy to Galaxy S - and it worked perfectly. Now it's not working and I don't know why.

Here's exactly what I'm doing:

1. Open Titanium backup on Galaxy S, and do Back up all apps+data. (both phones are rooted)

2. Connect S to PC, and copy /sdcard/titaniumbackup folder to computer

3. Connect Galaxy Nexus to computer, and copy titaniumbackup folder to the root folder

4. Launch TB from Nexus -> I see huge list of the programs that I backed up

5. Try to restore specific app (for example Easy Money ) - get an error

6. Try to Install the app separately from market (Easy Money) and copy only it's data with TB {restore data only} - either TB gives and error - or - restore finishes successfully, but when I try to open the app - it crashes.

Maybe this is due to Nexus having bigger screen resolution than S?

Any alternative method of tansferring apps +data?

Would someone with the proper tools be able to pull off this mod for me? I'm hoping for a completely invisible background for the dock bar (I'm not sure if that's what it's called). I attached a picture of the bar that I'm referring to in order to avoid any confusion.

Hi All,

Anyone notice that when you look at the screen thoroughly, especially when the screen is displaying light colors, there's like dots/pixels on the screen. It's like there's a fingerprint/oil layer on the screen. I've tried to see on several units all of them has this issue.

I tried to see S4's screen for this issue but it's clean, no noticeable pixels/dots on the screen.

Is this normal?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] cx:
I just got an idea for a petition for Imate. I hope they are not as deaf and arrogant as HP did for no upgrade Windows Mobile 2003 SE for the HP2210.

What my idea accounts for is that, we petition Imate for a Magneto upgrade for our Jam in exchange for us even purchasing a new PDA2K or say some newer product of HTC like the Universal Model perhaps but they would be obligated to provide the upgrade CD for the Jam and that newer model be it Universal or any other newer model.

What say you, if there's any takers could you kick this off.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jaythemagician:
I'm not spending £400+ on a new device just to get wm5 for my jam!I would petition for it outright as they should really supply this anyway and therefore it would be good cs and help keep all their existing customers onboard,therefore sticking with them and by the time upgrades come there customers will remain loyal!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] elyl:
I don't see how us agreeing to buy a newer model of HTC would convince HTC to supply an upgrade for the Magician. Your logic seems fundamentally flawed.

If you're that willing to buy a new HTC, why do you want an upgrade for the Magician? Madness.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ptan218:
:idea: I agreed with the petition but that of me paying for the wm2005 s/w upgrade rather than buying a new HTC device.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] cx:
Imate Jam

Fundamentally Imate or any other 3rd Party brand are not liable to supply Magneto because it's NOT THEIR STRATEGY.

This idea petition is something out of the blue to encourage them to budge and give us the Magneto, I'm willing to buy another HTC with Magneto but I would also keep my Magician and would be happier if it's also Magneto.

Now if you feel that HTC or Imate or Qtek really has an obligation to upgrade your units to Magneto without any compensation to them or merely selling the upgrade would just be PIRATED outright then your fundamentals are really FLAWED or your just DON'T HAVE ANY BUSINESS SENSE AT ALL :x

A) You can't return to prominence when it never left that state to begin with. It is ubiquitous already, and hasn't stopped because of some behind the scenes drama. CM is almost synonymous with Android now.

B) "Of little use with the current generation of phones"? You mean how phones with 2GB of RAM and quad core processors still can't manage to run a simple flash game without lag? Or scroll through a home screen with content on it without noticeable lag? CM fixes that.

Does anyone that has a Verizon world phone (one that can take a GSM SIM) travel internationally? I have some basic questions...

Can you leave the other SIM in while in the US?

Do you have to change settings like APN etc when abroad?

If you can use both, what happens with Visual voicemail? Do new messages appear next to the old?

Ideally if someone with e Lumia 928 can weigh in I would really consider that phone.
[Networking] MrObvious:
The phone does either GSM or CDMA operations. If you set to global it does both but will prefer a Verizon signal. Yes you will have to change everything like APN and if you get a local SIM get the phone unlocked. If VVM uses data (never had it when I did have Verizon briefly), then as long as you can get a data plan overseas, you should be fine. I wanna say it'll have you authenticate but other than that it should work.
