[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c19932:
Na i use an aosp rom. Didn't have any sound mod.

Btw, appreciate everyone's input! It's always amusing to see people say "ooo why don't you stop complaining and use your old phone blah blah blah"... Maybe because it's a forum, and I like to start a discussion to see what other people's opinions are on this subject matter?

In case anyone was wondering, I use my Sennheiser ie8 for music, which is pretty heavy on bass already.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derukun:
You're not getting the point.... it's a phone.. it's not going to have the same quality audio drivers as a good MP3 player or a decent home receiver. You're not going to get audiophile quality from a phone... the HTC One's optimization is really nothing impressive either ._. If you're that concerned with quality of audio, invest a good MP3 player. Invest in a Cowon.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshyth:
i never owned beats headphone before, so it's just always the m50. i'm actually going to flash faux's kernel later today, i'll see if fauxsound help a bit.

v-moda definitely going to make a big difference! used to own one of them too.

if someone is rooted, make a backup and try flashing this - works well on my aosp 4.3 rom with poweramp set to rock preset so 'should' work on 4.4 -

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lykos:
Cowon isn't even that great of a DAP. Head-Fiers are actually agreeing that the sound on the Nexus 5 isn't actually terrible and the noise floor is non-existent. The Nexus 5 also offers a very flat sound that a lot of audiophiles love, but there are still a couple complaints from people with high-end equipment that find the bass to be a bit muddy. 100% agree with you that the HTC One's optimization isn't that great or impressive. Makes everything sound bloated to me.

Nottoyou:

Someone earlier in the thread that all audiophiles love the flat sound, and while it is true that some do, an equal portion does not. This is why companies create so many high-end headphones, DACS, & DAPs each with their own unique sound signature. Just to drive home my point I'll point out that the Cardas EM5813 have a very warm and thick sound. They have great bass response and they're not flat whatsoever. The Fiio X3 drives them beautifully because the sound signature matches, but if I move over to my friend's Nexus 5 (mine hasn't arrived yet) it sounds dead because the sound signature is flat, but if I try the same test with my Westrone 4R the results are the complete opposite. The W4R isn't the flattest, but it is understandable why people think it is flat. :good:

If you're worried about it get a Fiio E07K for your phone or buy a iBasso DX50/Fiio X3/Sony DAP. I'll probably be using a portable DAC in the long run myself.

Don't forget that your audio files matter as well. You have the potential to use 24bit/192kbps flac on your phone and that will be a rewarding experiences in itself.

P.S. I am a Technophile not an Audiophile.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derukun:
I have a separate mp3 dedicated to music, so I personally was never really concerned about the audio drivers on a phone.

I wonder if Nexus 5 can support .m4a aac though, I have quite a few of those that I bought through the iTunes store :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lykos:
I'm not sure... I have some ALAC files that I would like to try and I figure if it supports ALAC than it'll support AAC.

Do you have a D20? That's my favorite of the Cowon line right now. Though I still prefer my other Fiio X3.

I ran the CM Installer and after installing recovery I'm stuck in a boot loop on the splash screen. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Zyxxeil:
I did this to, its dumb :(..

Ok go to your adb folder and right click

Then click open command window here

Now connect your device in recovery mode,

Wipe your data and cache

then go to install zip, then click sideload option.

Then type "adb sideload" then space, then drag any rom into the CMD prompt

It should start sending a ROM if your drivers are working correctly and itll flash the ROM.

A horrible thing just happened today...my god damned friend dropped my universal down from 3 feet height...nothing really has happened, but the edges are bruised...a little paint chipped off at a couple places....small deformations in the contours :-(

he says....."duh....sorry"

i'm all freaked out here :-(

now.... the question

is the body/ outer shell of the universal replacable?

if yes, how much does it cost and where can I order it from?

arghhh :-(

thanks,

San

PS: if you don't have an answer, or nothing to say at all, atleast sympathize for me!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:

thanks everyone!

I guess only people who own a universal will know how valuable it is....I am over obsessed with my gadget, and have constantly been "over protective" since i've got it! I keep a "wipe" sandwiched in the clam shell al the time to prevent scratches on the keyboard and display.....I keep wiping off the dirt at 5 minute intervals thru the day!

and in the name of satan why o why is it meeee to suffer this wretched wrath :-(

Can anyone tell me if its possible to change the outer casing? Is it complicated and too difficult to do so?

Thank you all once again!

Hi!!!

Sad to know...but I can tell u the goodthing that IT IS POSSIBLE to have a new body..Entire casing can be changed..so do not worry.As of now the stocks are not there as it is just launched officially in India...In case I get a dead one with a Good Body, will let u know...I am based in Pune....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cuteangelika:
I can relate dreamtheater.... I dont think I can trust any friend with my device without constant guidance. Even my husband has to be under my eye when he's tinkering with my dopod.

Is it still under warranty? Then maybe it can be replaced... or maybe you can always give subtle or not so subtle hints to your friend (if he is really a friend) to replace it...

Good luck :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
hey!

hee hee :) I wish i could give those *subtle* hints lol :D

It really is not so bad, frankly speaking....but, the freak that I am....makes me soooo damn fussy about things, and i keep looking at those tiny abrasions all the time....and cant get it off my phucking head :x

I'll just have to wait until I screw it up a little more, and by that time....I'd possibly get an outer casing so that I could slip it in some new clothes!

Until then..... :( :(

cheers and have a great new year guys (n angelika!)!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
Hey DT,

That really sucks mate.

Your friend should really take responsibility for this, but i know its not the money. I know you would pay good money to have your universal back in good shape this instant...

I could have helped you if you had a Jasjar since i-mate is based in Dubai, but since you got yourself a qtek, there really isn't anything i can do. However, i do advise you talk to MMB about this as he might be able to arrange for a body from his supplier. No harm in trying!

Dont worry, it will be fine. Also, get yourself a good case like the ones from Piel Frama or a metal case from Brando :)

Cheers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] knowsleyroader:
Gutted for you m8. Know exactly how you must feel. Been treating my new Wizard like a new born baby since christmas day and wont let anyone touch it. The wife asked to have a look at it and I just told her it was too much phone for her to handle :D

Im totally anal when I get a new phone and am constantly looking at it thinking it that a scratch. Im thinking of making the whole family shave their heads as head hairs dont half look like scratches from a distance.... Pubic hairs are far easier to spot though :wink:

Hope you sort yourself out m8.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
@doc

hey m8! how've you been? ;-)

I wonder why I didn't think of asking mmb....I'm sending david a mail right away! He gave me excellent service while I bought it from him, hope hed do his magic once again ;-)

I spent the whole of today trying to find a case for my universal...I looked around for camera cases, waist pouches, n-gage cases.....all of them are either tooo small, or hideously bigg! Gave up....I guess its only piel frama for now :-(

got to keep humans away from my qtek until then :-)

lol :D are u still allowed to stay at home? :P

cheers,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
3 feet indeed :-( it fell right off the table...

lucky for me, I had the cover protecting it....the one that comes with the device....I guess that took most of the impact!

If my screen had cracked....holy hell :O I don't quite know what I would have done!! I couldn't force my friend to buy me a new one, cuz....I would have killed him immediately :P

anyways, I've decided that i'd live with the scratches :-( considering the fact that it would take me another month and *all* the complications all over & again for me to source it! Now i'm ten times more careful....a little late though :-(

Best,

San

Hi dt,

Doing good mate, thanks.

Just be happy that the incident occurred on the 31st of last year and not the 1st of this year. Otherwise, that would have been a nasty way of starting a new year!

Any response from MMB?

Chin up mate!

Good evening, I can only rely on google translate properly my threat.

I followed the tutorial to flash recovery "r2-MoDaCo-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville", but I could not get in, just see red letters. try various things like quite a noob,

but finished without even able to start my phone,

I can not make a "S-OFF" I can not enter android system, just to fastboot,

I can not start recovery,

Try installing the RUU according to my radio and found two, none worked for me (did Relock in bootloader and flash stock recovery, although I'm not sure I did well), finally I have searched for two days and can not find anything that works for me , help me please :'(

About every 10 minutes my remaining power lowers by 1%. More people notice this?
[Nexus 10 General] PaintDrinkingPete:
For anyone interested, here's a pretty decent quick&dirty how-to on flashing a factory image:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...riants-of-nexus-7-2012-and-2013-and-nexus-10/

So no, this is NOT flashable like a standard ROM, and while there is a trick to skip it if you're bootloader is already unlocked (which I don't recommend), for most using this method will require a full data wipe. You'll also have to re-root and re-install custom recovery once finished (though that's pretty easy with this device).

I'd wager someone will throw together a ROM package for this update within the next few days...but obviously we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm planning on flashing this on my N10 tonight...looking forward to it.
[Nexus 10 General] lvnatic:
Oh well I guess I'll have to wait for a custom ROM. Now that we have the binaries I'm hoping for something soon. Many thanks for the answers!

[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
Hope you get to a computer soon.. It would make it easier instead of waiting for a zip and potentially have it not do what you want.
