Some interesting headphones on this thread.

First and fairly important, AptX may make a difference in audio quality, however, something labeled "Bluetooth 4" doesn't matter. Bluetooth 4 is the spec for LE/low energy mode, which isn't high enough bandwidth for stereo audio - it's for things like heart rate monitors and smart watches. AptX is not exclusive to BT4, and is available on many 2.1 devices. Elroy's FAQ explains this as well - http://meetelroy.com/faq ..

I saw Uberbuds, BackBeat GO 2, and Jaybird BlueBuds X mentioned on here a few times. iLounge has reviewed and compares all 3, since they are very similar in form and function. Of the 3, the BBG2 gets top honors. Note that they reviewed Jaybird first, so at time of review, they were the best they had ever used. Then BBG2 took the title away from them, and Uberbuds were reviewed after that and came in a somewhat distant 3rd.

Uberbuds: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/musemini-uberbuds-bluetooth-wireless-earbuds/

BBG2: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/plantronics-backbeat-go-2-bluetooth-wireless-earbuds/

Jaybird BlueBuds: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/re...ear-bluebuds-x-bluetooth-wireless-headphones/

Hope this helps some of you. I'll be picking up the BBG2s tonight from Best Buy - easy return if they suck ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
As you may have read it seems like my bbg2 were defective and skipping, got the bbx and they were fine. The bbx are more secure as the 'stabilizers' for the bbg2 were almost nonfunctional for me. The silicone inserts on the bbx aren't too comfortable which is why I ordered the comply foam comfort plus, they should be in tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bigillz:
To each their own of course. From the reviews I read, the audio quality is nearly indistinguishable, but the BBG2 have a touch more base. I don't ever use stabilizer things with earbuds, I find they're uncomfortable and don't generally work well. If the weight of the bluetooth/battery requires them, it may be a no go for me regardless. I have a ton of comply tips around, I use them on various other wired earbuds. This is my first foray into a bluetooth set. I'm interested in the convenience but if the audio quality is noticeably lower than my wired ones I don't think I'll keep em.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Good luck, I've tested a few and so far these are the best, I only use them if I'm on public transit or gym, which I haven't been frequenting too often. But outside of that I use bluetooth in the car and that's about it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bigillz:
Agh! I picked up the Backbeats Go 2 last night - so far I think they're great. However, the Comply tips I have don't fit, they are too small on the inner diameter. On the Comply site, they only list tips for the "Backbeats Go (Not 2)". Does anyone know which model tips fit the 2s? 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500? The specs Comply lists only give the outer diameter, not the inner diameter (stupid, since that's the important part). I saw some review saying the 100s worked, but the Comply's site lists the Jaybird Bluebud X's using the 500s, and I read the Bluebuds and BBG2's are nearly identical.

Have any of you figured this out? Would love to know so I don't have to order a bunch.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b k w:
Jaybird Bluebuds X with Comply tips. Love the set up! If I had to nitpick it'd be the following minor issues:

- The Comply tips get pretty grungy after a month. Comply recommends you replace them regularly.

- No official battery meter for Android, but there are other apps out there that work

- Although they're smaller than most BT earbuds out there, they still stick out quite a bit.

- price

Compared to the backbeats I had before the X, these totally blow them out of the water!

- fantastic battery life. Definitely double if not more life per charge - very important since I fly transcontinental and international quite a bit

- can pair with multiple devices unlike the backbeats which are limited to one device.

- sound is decent, especially with the comply tips. It's louder than the backbeats and totally drowns out the subway.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bigillz:
I've gone through lots of comply tips, just because they end up looking kinda gross (waxy ears i guess?). I have had both red and black and for whatever reason the black seem easier to clean up / make look less grungy.

That place... what an effing business they have going. $14.95-$19.95 for a couple grams of shaped foam, and I've gone through 4 or 5 3-packs in a few years. There's gotta be some company, Chinese knockoff or other, selling those for less absurd prices.Should probably google that for myself...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
Are you taking about the BackBeat Go out BackBeat Go 2.

The BBG2s can pair to 8 devices just like the BBX. And using the the Plantronics app switching between them is very simple.

The BBX defiantly wins in the battery life category. It also dose plays a little louder than the BBG2.

So far lg tone plus is one of the best bluetooth I ever tried
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DustinKimble:
Lg announce their new lg tone ultra today and an amazon placeholder is up for it. I'd wait for that one. Actually I went ahead and put in a pre order :)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FXBYHOG
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Personally I'm still not digging them. I'm just not a fan of having something sitting on my neck/shoulders. Where if I wanted to put them away in my pocket it wouldn't be possible unless I had a big winter coat pocket...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DustinKimble:
True, but this is the third revision and for what it is, its the best balance of battery life, sound quality and the absence of a wire to the phone that I've found. I can't imagine a situation where I'd be listening to them and need to put them away and not be somewhere where that would be possible. I wouldn't wear these or any other wireless earphones in a public setting besides exercising or working. Other settings I'd use my voyager legend. I have different bluetooth devices for different occasions because they currently don't make a one for all device.

i have a pair of the white lg they are really good but i just cant get use to the band around my neck.so i went and bought the sony sbh52 this little bugger is awesome. im no audiophile but i love these headphones. had to change the tips but other than that hands down the best head set i have owned. connection haven't dropped a call yet and great battery life.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pewterwest:
Here is what I use at the gym.... they make your ears sweat more than normal but the battery life is awesome ( I think I might charge them once per week and I workout 1 & 1/2 Hours per day 5-6 days per week). They are basically a much cheaper version ( knockoff if you will) of the beats headphones. They look nice and were cheap so I gave them a shot, bought a pair for me and another one for my girl ( in red)

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Luycks:
Any news on this subject? I saw JBL introduced the J46 in ear bt set, but it doesn't have AptX. Are there more players on the market in the meantime? I read about cheap anker in ears but they seem to be useless when using them while the phone is in your pocket (in the gym or while running outside). I hope someone has a suggestion!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CehowardNote3:
To add my take to this thread. I like the "over ear" better, they work good for me. I have went through 3 sets of headphones in a couple weeks I returned the 3 and ordered another set. I have them now, and I have a locked grin on my face. Yes, they have aptx, even though I am a novice, I have quickly found out that the aptx enhances the bluetooth sound. Since I have two Samsung Notes, but have aptx, only fitting that I get some headphones with aptx.

I had two pairs of Bluedios, one was supposed to go to my wife, who has a Samsung Galaxy S4, that has aptx, but the aptx is just falsely advertised on the Bluedio R+ models, because it is sure not there. Also, I had the Sony MDR 10RBT, which were super good. They have the aptx and I got them on sale for $149.95 at BB. However, I returned them too, because I went for the Sony's big brother.. The Sony MDR 1RBT MK2.. OMG... Awesome.. these are keepers. They just 1 uped the Sony MDR 1RBT, which didn't have aptx, and the bass, was a little off. Well, the MK2s solved all of that.. Better bass, aptx, and a few other addition of good things.. :)

To pewterwesr, I am 74, and up until last year I was working out 5 days a week, and about hour every day. My body was tight, dam tight. Got to get back in the groove Right now, I am doing 2 days a week, hour each workout..

[General Questions and Answers] badlittlemonkey:
OK here goes.....

Turned my phone on and got "Process com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly. Try again." Clicked Force Stop as I couldn't get past it otherwise. Then got to the "Touch the android to begin". So touched the android and ...... nothing!! It just stayed on that screen. I can't get to any apps or settings and can only use the keypad to dial emergency numbers.

I searched the internet, as one does these days, and tried the touching all 4 corners of the screen to get around the android, and still nothing.

I've tried doing the reset and hard factory reset, taking the battery out and waiting, then putting it back and trying the reset again, but each time the phone reboots I get the "Process com ......" or "Touch the android...."

I'm not that au fait with Android and am finding it hard to understand much of what's being said on these forums (so much jargon and so many acronyms, it seems like you all were born knowing this stuff!!! :confused::confused::confused: ) that I'm sure the more things I'm trying the worse I'm making it!!

I can still get into Recovery and Download so I don't think I've messed up completely, but I'm so p!$$ed off with it now I just want to throw the phone down the toilet!!! So, pleeeeeze somebody, can you explain in absolute

idiots language

what I should do.

The phone is:

Samsung Galaxy Y Duos GT S6102 and it is rooted.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can ask here if you dont understand something. I believe that your firmware in your phone got corrupted or the internal SD is bad/corrupted.

If its the former, good you can fix that with the above link. If not, then your phone is bust. Its not going to get fixed.

Lower end smatphones do have these types of issues, so if you do change your phone to something else, just visit alot of forums and make up your mind, at least you wont get suprised when you see others report problems. I hope that this could help.
[General Questions and Answers] badlittlemonkey:
I turn on the phone and the Samsung icon comes up with the jingle. After the vibrate, it goes to the black screen with the android with a message saying "Touch the android to begin". Below that are 2 options - Emergency call and change language.

After a few seconds a window comes saying "Process com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly. Try again". And below that is a button "Force Stop". If I press Force Stop, I get back to the first screen with the android and the message "Touch the android ..........". If I leave it at "Process com..............................." that's how it stays.

So to clarify - the only screen I get is the "Touch the android to begin". I cannot get any further.

I have tried the touching the 4 corners of the screen to bypass the android but nothing happens.
[General Questions and Answers] ckr1986:
Alright ...guess the best bet for you is to reflash your stock rom (the software thats currently in your phone). You could check out the link that shadowcore posted above.
[General Questions and Answers] badlittlemonkey:
OK, so couldn't understand how to flash the rom suggested by shadowcore! Told you I needed an idiots guide!!!!

Anyway I downloaded stock firmware XXMA3 from samMobile. Opened it up in Odin 3, let it do its thing until Odin said PASS. But phone looped at reboot so I had to wipe data in Recovery thinking I would have to start all over again but.....voila!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

All sorted!!!!!

Hi,so I read a lot of articles about this and I'm aware of the brick bug so I checked my Note with the emmc brick bug check and it showed that I have a sane chip.I got my Note with 4.1.2 and I'm not rooted and I don't need root.So my question is can I safely downgrade to ICS and upgrade it back to JB if I wanted to?I really do not want to mess something up before I begin.

Yes you can if you follow proper procedures and take precautions.

That is if I follow the Odin Pc procedure of flashing?And ofcourse not doing the factory or any kind of wipe/reset on ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
On ICS, just dont do any Wipe while on stock ICS kernel.. You can install a safe kernel like Speedmod / Philz (for ICS ofcourse) and then perform wipes.

- When downgrading from JB to ICS using odin, it may end up in a boot loop.. its better to wipe data while on JB then flash ICS using Odin.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] (•.•):
Hello

I have a major problem, because I can't use the recovery mode, because something is removed on the system level, that the recovery mode needs to start. (it isn't knox)

Also I can't boot up the system, because of an endless loop, when the device booted into the system, because there is also something removed.

I have now tried to install several other roms, all 4.2.2, but It still has the same errors, because the system doesn't get wiped and the bug remains even on a fresh rom. Stock or Custom. The Aroma Installer would help, but there isn't a rom with it, that is flashable via odin, only cwm.

Only download mode can be used to do something with the system.

So here are my questions:

What can I do, to erase/wipe the system only using the download mode (with odin/?/heimdall/ ?

Bonus: What exactly does the recovery mode needs to start...?

Bonus: Is there a flashable rom for the s4 that has the aroma installer ?

Bonus: Why most rom recently only use cwm to get installed ? (I guess it has alot more options and is easier to handle..)

Would be really grateful for an awnser!
