Bottom line. Any $60 set of cans from a real manufacture kills every set of beats. This is just a fact I'm sorry.

Yeah bose are the same way but I will say that my overpriced qc15's are one of the most comfy set of cans I ever used. Beats can't even get comfort right. Its a fail across the board for them. Sound is just muddy crap. Comfort is what you expect from a cheap crap set of cans. Build quality is way below sub par. I seen more beats snap in 1/2 and pivots and joins fail then any other set of headphones including the cheap $40 skull candys.

You can charge the same amount per oz as gold for a turd but it Dont make it as good as gold. End of the day its just a over priced turd or as we call it....Beats.

I will defend Bose. They dump more money in r and d then anyone else. Yes they are all over priced but Bose's gets comfort and noise canceling. Those are the two things that make me get a set of Bose. They offer something unlike beats that offers nothing you can't get in a $40 set of skull Candy's

I think the best move for HTC is to get as far away from beats as they can. Everyone knows bests suck and is over priced, over hyped. I would call them the apple of audio but that is a huge insult to Apple as at least apple has some quality and beats just slaps there name on any shiny plastic crap they can get out of China for $20 at cost. Then pay some rapper to put them on. They have to be $400 because they have to pay millions to get some rapper to it them on just to sell them. Without it they would sell nothing.

All beats in HTC phones are is a eq curve. Put a real name on it and do they same and I bet they sell more. HTC needs to get in their life boat and let Beats go down like the sinking ship they are then partner with audio tech. Sen, klipsh, Harmon kardon.

And yes I have used and owned Beats Solo HD and pros. They were returned to the store the fallowing day. Yes sound is all personal pref. But no matter what you can get a cheaper better set of cans that kill beats across the board. Most people Dont even listen to lossless audio files they use super compressed crappy mp3 files so picking up a real set of $500 hi fi cans is pointless as you are limited by your format and it will sound the same on a cheaper $100 set of quality cans.

Beats is nothing more then Dr. Dre's last stand before he is officaly washed out. He is just trying to keep his name out there so in 10 years people are like hmm Dre? Didn't he rap with Easy E?
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
I think people are missing the point. Isn't it the beats amp in this phone? The speaker and overall sound output with this phone is remarkable even with the beats eq off. Beats headphone are overrated, but what they give our phone is good
[HTC Droid DNA] cstrife999:
Haters love to hate in all reality.
[HTC Droid DNA] GreenfireX:
Beats was designed by Monster in the beginning, but the son of the founder (who started the Beats brandname behind the founder's back) signed some crap-tastic contracts to get it going, and wound up losing all the rights to the technologies that Monster had created. HTC had the manufacturing power to continue the product line, but Monster is still trying to keep up with their own beats-like headphones and other products.

All in all, if you have to put batteries in your headphones to get them to sound good, you're not really using good engineering, just cheap tricks.
[HTC Droid DNA] _phoey:
I don't mean to sound rude, but we don't care about your opinion with the headphones. We are talking about the EQ and sound enhancements in the HTC phones. Don't like it? Just turn it off in the settings. Its as easy as that. Everyone's ears are tuned differently, and there are so many genres you could be listening to. I'm pretty bummed that we won't have it any more, but you are entitled to your opinion. That's why HTC created the "off" switch.

if you use your tablet just to surf the web, seeing movies, access google playstore do u really need to root the HD+?

thanks

No.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagem:
Not a all, but CM10.1 is so much nicer than stock and provides a much fuller tablet experience.

You can also visit leapinlar's great thread that has files that allow you to stay stock and still sideload apps and other mods for stock.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BJGunner:
I would say yes. I use my nook hd+ pretty much like what you described. Rooting it provides so much more flexibility.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you are going to stay stock, definitely do not root it for what you want to use it for. It adds very little and creates the danger of being reset.

But I think the other users were not speaking so much of rooting stock, as replacing stock with CM10. That adds a lot of versatility without the dangers that rooting stock has.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] move_over:
I would say the Extras mod is necessary if you stay stock, but rooting is not really necessary and possibly can screw things up, as leapinlar said. Installing 3rd party apps is something you can do a lot with, like getting free apps from Amazon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tshephard:
Hi all, thanks for reading!

Did the root, safestrap, and CM 10.2 install to the letter!

However, I have determined they failed to tell me to select Slot 1 for additional rom (I was suspicious, but thought Slot selection may come after file selection).

Anyway, added CM into slot 1, but now do not have stock in stock slot.

How can I get stock into stock slot?

If anyone else ...

The Droid Razr Utility will fix all.

When re-installing CM...

At Safe Strap install, after step 12,you need to 'create and format' slot 1

Then, be sure Slot 1 is selecting for Install in next paragraph!
[HTC One S] Lethe6:
Hey guys,

Today I switched from Fido to Rogers. Everywhere I read, people are saying I needed to unlock my SIM, even though it's the same company. So I calculate the unlock code, put in the new card, reboot and everything works out of the box. No need to enter unlock code, in fact I never get prompted for it.

I'm wondering if this is normal? Can I expect issues? I tried calling and data, everything appears ok... even though they have different APNs and settings. I'm running PACMan 4.2 rom.

Thanks!
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
That because you don't need to unlock for Rogers...same company. Put a tells sim in and you'll get a prompt.
[HTC One S] Lethe6:
That's what I figured, but Rogers told me I'd have to unlock it.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi, i have installed Xperia Ultimate HD 4.0 Rom and no problem, I've installed some apps like Whatsapp, etc. After that I've installed the Xperia Ultimate HD MOD v.4.8, it installed ok, but now is having bootloop and I can't access CWM recovery menu, and I don't know what to do.

Please, help !!!

Using stock kernel and also my phone was rooted. My phone is a Xperia Arc.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
First of all, be patient. Receiving an answer might take few hours.

Secondly, there are numerous topics about bootloops, use the search tool before posting a new topic.

Thirdly, Flashtool, flash stock firmware (make sure to install ICS) but do not wipe data. This way you can save your contacts, SMSes, apps and other personal data. How to do it? - Search.

Has somebody a good working keyboard for stock android? (4.2.2)?

I mean not the stock google keyboard but a sony honami, sense 5 or touchwiz keyboard?

I am using paranoid android rom. But i hate this keyboard :/

I'm using SwiftKey. The best one for me.

[Desire Themes and Apps] Logain38:
I use Swype and love it. it's easy to use the options to correct your word if it's wrong are the best I've found, they have multiple colored keyboards for your preference. The Swype option takes some getting used to but I can't imagine typing with two hands, and it's way faster. Just my two cents

SWYPE is the best, i think

Hi,

Suddenly my xperia play's screen blacked out when I tried to slide open my play. It happens everytime I try to slide open it.

My Xperia Play is about 1.5 yrs old now.

Anyone else have that type of problem? And if anyone have, pls help me out.

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloudStrife1901:
No problems here, try installing a fresh rom and see if that fixes your problem
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehmafia:
Sorry, but i have tried everything including reinstalling the rom and kernel (ICS, GB, JB). But nothing works. I think that its not a software issue but a hardware issue, i tried searching on the internet and i think that it would be a problem of the sliding flex cable?

If you have any clues please let me know soon. I want my good old PLAY back.

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
It is most likely flex cable. Not still broken, but in specific position is losing contact. I wouldn't be suprised if your screen goes black and stay thay way (worst case scenario).

Try to find repair center or place where you can buy it before it tottaly broke.

You can minimize damage but not sliding gamepad some time.

Again, it's my opinion, so i might be wrong,..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
That and TV Static-like display are classic signs of slider flex problem. Trust me, I had 3 broken slider flexes already.

Thanks for the help. Now i got it, i just have to buy a new flex cable and replace it.

Thanks again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Serfma:
Ever since as long as I can remember, my phones brightness will dim to a brightness so dark you just can't see it. Even if you manually set the brightness, once you lock and wake the screen, it's fine then suddenly switches to dark.

I've used multiple ROMs and they all do it. Is it a device issue, or could it be a kernel issue? I've not screwed with kernels so I don't know if it could be it. If it's a device issue, I'll be getting a replacement ASAP.

Any help is appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Serfma:
Now that I'm able to Google, I realize it's a common problem with the S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fukenbiker:
The only time I had the screen go dim like you describe is I remember once following a phone call. It goes dark when you put the handset to your ear like it's supposed to, and lights back up when I pull it away from my head. I was stepping out of a truck into the broad daylight when I tried to hang up my phone, I couldn't see the screen very well. The other party ended the call, and my screen timed out while I was squinting at it. I pushed the home button and it lit right back up nice.

You got something going on, and if you tried all those different roms, say... can you nandroid back to stock? Did you try that?

I'd try everything I could on the outside chance of repair instead of replacement. If you get a replacement you might be stuck with that MF3 where you cannot install a custom recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Serfma:
Mf3? Is that something new with the S4s to prevent custom ROMs?

It does not go pitch black. It goes very dim every time I wake the device. If you Google S4 screen dimming it's a wide problem.

Once you wake it, it's fine for 2 seconds and dims quite dark. It is not screen timeout/sleep/etc since I can still see the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Serfma:
My S4 is MDL. I found out the problem (More than likely) was the Paranoid Android ROM. I was on ver. 3.69 and since switched to CM 10.2 Nightlies, latest as of today, and no screen dimming. I will install my usual apps and use it as normal and if it happens, it's probably an app. However, the only apps I use are ones such as SwiftKey, LightFlow, ASTRO, Chrome, and Dashclock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
I'm on stock MDL. It has only been occurring since I upgraded from MDB 3 days ago, and is a huge PITA because brightness controls are unresponsive during this time - I go into settings to adjust brightness since I have removed all the brightness controls from the notification panel as they've always worked just fine, and turn off auto brightness, scale it all the way to max, and it is still dim as crap.... Only fix I've seen is to reboot, which is obviously not ideal in most situations when I need to wake the device! I'm using STOCK kernel, STOCK ODEXED ROM as well, nothing crazy should be going on to screw with brightness settings being unresponsive either!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Serfma:
Do you by chance use Light Flow? :)

I solved the problem. I had "lcd_backlight" control flipped on in the settings of Light Flow. It fixed it. To tell if it's an app problem, just factory reset and try, once you boot up, to lock and wake the device to see if it happens. If it doesn't, it's an app problem more than likely, or even a general setting. Troubleshoot for the win! :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
I do use Light Flow, but I don't have either one of the LCD Backlight controls enabled, never have and never will, so I don't know how that could be affecting my phone at all.... That's a good start for some, but not for me, unfortunately! Good catch though

I had this issue before on my Galaxy S3. I ended up replacing the front glass because of a dead pixel. Come to find out I had a sensor issue and that was causing my brightness auto going to whatever level it wanted.

Perhaps you're experiencing that too. Haven't heard or read of any sensor issues yet with the S4 but you could be the lucky winner!
