I apologise for that emotional expresion of mine

Could you please explain me.all the advantages that people enjoy from sony's clarity features?:)

And do.you consider using an external dac as a clever solution for case when your hearing tastes such feats as positive?

I somehow cannot connect sony xbass, clarity and suxh crappy things to something good sounding:) i dont mean connect in technical.way

Please, just explain me.that

Consider me knowing.nothing an.explain me.that all like i was 1000% noob please
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I deleted my reply.

Thank you!

Well this is one of those things yuo have to try for yourself and like any other "enhancement feature, if you over do it, you end up with usually horrible effects.

It will also depend on your hearing and your headphones of course.

Like the Bass boost works great for some music and headphones but if the headphone is not able to deal with it then all you get is a bloated mess. So like anything else , there is no one size fits all.

I for the most part just use the Sound Enhancment part to EQ and the bassboost and sometimes use Studio setting for some music.

The x-clarity is not my cup of tea personally.

About the DAC. Well, it is one of those things where its hard to separate placebo from reality. I do feel that you get some benefits from the E18 like in imaging and detail but I wish there was an easy way to do an ABX comparison between both after leveling the volume levels to cleary identify the differences. My audio memory is very short lol

Try it with an open mind..dont buy all the BS you read from so called audiophiles or like I call like to explain that term "audiophile=someone that listens through his eyes not ears" because in many cases they claim amazing differences between pieces of gears, even CABLES!, but when blind tested, the differences dissapear to them :D

I do have good ear as I have been a musician all my life, play piano, violin , sing, etc and my last hearing test was great but I try to keep my imagination in check, when it comes to evaluating pieces of gear.

I will give you a clear example of this...

The FiiO E18, most reviews I read about it were mentioning how awesome the sounstage is, the detail all that compared to stock DAC or X or Y product. Yey somehow they did not detect the CLEARLY audible buzz sound when you engage the Bass boost?! Interesting...

In any case, do I recommend the E18 or similar for your phone, I do for sure, but still does not mean I won't tweak a bit more with the EQ since headphones and ears and music mastering are too different for one setting to work all the time.

Sorry for the long post :D

I hope it makes some sense. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] westsider:
yes ,it does make sense for sure

i also do not think humans can hear above 20Khz and 192Khz recordings are for nobody...

when it comes to enhancements like xbass,xloud,xclarity and such things, i am very very sceptical and never take it seriously

external DAC should be theoreticaly more accurate in ideal case compared to bad internal dac

if internal dac is good so it doesnt make sense to buy another dac of course

but...when you use accurate signal an damage it with something like xclear , xsourround and every kind of virtual manipulation of signal, and combine it with external dac...in this case there are ideas mixed up which shouldnt be together

IMHO it sounds like, you go into fast food restaurant and: "excuse me, may i have some diet coke with extra sugar ,please"

I also always EQ a lil bit , i am not a big friend of linear sounding. i enjoy more when it sounds laid back and fun with lil bit here and there

and if i buy external dac, so i expect more accurate response , still EQed in very small db amounts

thats why i reacted that way. of course it wasnt correct from me

u have to consider also...english is not my native language and sometimes you get people wrong in emotion when they speak foreign language :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I understand your point indeed but the problem is like when you say

"accurate signal" mean little because not all music is mastered the same way, not all ears hear the same way and no headphone works the same as the other so what you are doing with those those options, which in my case is just the EQ and the Bassboost, is not different from the EQing you mentioned you do as well.

I wish every song was mastered the same way and we all had the same hearing with the perfect headphone for everyone but since that is not the case, using a DAC and EQing is still a viable option to get the sound correct to ones preferences.

I used to work on the high end audio industry before but a LONG time ago I stopped trying to please my sound measuring devices and instead decided to please my ears and it was the best decision ever! :)

And yes, the whole thing about 192Khz is just plain ridiculous..just go to the computeraudiophile forums if you want to laugh a lot about it with the claims they make there LOL

No worries about the previous misudernstanding, all good here my friend. We can agree to disagree respectuflly on our points of views..it is what makes life fun and diverse. :highfive:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] westsider:
I went step further and tried OTG cable with Creative Omni USB soundcard

It works without any problems but i doubt that bypasses internal dac

Very possible that usb just redurects the sound

I really couldnt hear any improvement but different signature

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arak0n:
Morning.

I noticed that even when I am in a somewhat dark room, the flash will not trigger when set to "Auto" unless the room is nearly pitch black dark. If I set to "On", the flash works fine. This happens with both the popular camera mods too.

Is this normal behavior by the phone or is my light sensor being strange?

Edit: Sorry, skipped past the question checkbox.

[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
Ok I just updated from play store and it's fixed now. Thanks! You've done a great job. It's a really useful and good looking app.

But I'm short on memory and this takes around 30MB of RAM so it's just a luxury I can't keep :(

But anyone with good amount of memory go for this app :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] Fossor coding:
Thanx man! Are you on xxhdpi, cause on my xhdpi the app takes 17MB when it's closed.

There could be more crashes, cause someone said the app wont even start for him. So if someone experiencing the same, i would love to see the log. :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] PunchUp:
Ok since you mentioned 17 MB I gave it another try. And yes without any theme on it's 16/17 MB on xhdpi. Last night I used it with the black theme on so it spiked to 30 MB.

And I already have a Sidebar which takes around 15MB and it serves me well.. So don't get me wrong your app is beautiful and very cool, but I hate the memory constrains I have to deal with :p

But I'm glad I helped you fix a bug with the log.

Hope people love your app like I did. Regards :)

Suggestions

First, just wanted to say that I really like the look of this. Running this on AICP 4.4.2 on a HTC One. Couple of quick suggestions/questions: First, is there a way to turn this on/off and/or a setting to enable on boot? Is there a way to change the position/size of the trigger area?

On a side note, I've used an app called circle launcher (pretty much since it was first released) as a widget on my homescreen to launch my most used apps (about 15 or so). I've really like this because with the launcher icon being transparent, it provides an easy way to launch apps without messing with my layout (no matter what layout i'm using). Have you considered creating this as a widget and/or being able to launch this as a short cut? I could see maybe using this as a custom nav bar button or something similar.
[Android Apps and Games] Fossor coding:
Hi there, thanx and I glad you like it. You can hide the icon by dragging it off screen or by pressing "hide" button on the notification (the app will return when you unlock the device or press "show"). Currently there is no autostart after boot, but it is on the to do list. There is no size changes on the trigger area, but you can change the position by dragging it up or down (it is always floating) and/or by changing side (left or right)

As for a fully transparent trigger area - I saw a lot of feedback (on other similar apps) when users wanted to have a visual representation of this area, so I made it with a flag icon. If there will be more requests to make trigger area fully transparent, perhaps i will add this option too.

And here is some video:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SKCwillie:
Are you using Windows? Try downloading Odin. You should be able to use Odin to return the phone to stock through the download screen. When you use the download screen it says "downloading" because it's waiting for you to download something on it . . . at least that's how I think it works. I have never used Odin, so you'll have to google and find some guides on how to return it to stock, but that should get you pointed in the right direction.

I've been used to getting just under 1000mA with the included charger but when at my sisters, I plugged into her (generic) tablet charger and was amazed to see the charging rate at 1500mA.

After a little research I see that the Nexus 5 is safe to and capable of 1.5mA but the stock charger is rated at only 1.2mA.

I've tried a number of 3rd party 2000mA AC adapters but these all show as USB charging, so capped at 500mA.

Anyone got anything tried and tested that will give me this. Also looking for similar for my car. I have one that will charge at 1mA but would like more if possible.

FM Radio

I have an XPERIA S with the mod'd FM radio app that worked without the headphones plugged in, but it had to be in a VERY good reception area to pick up a station.

The other way, is just get a 3.5mm stereo plug with approx 60cm of cable (aerial) attached and you've got a cool antenna and then just play the radio through the speaker.

The menu has the "Play in Speaker" option already ... so you've already got all the best options.

Walks away and looks for Bluetooth headphones....

[Update]

Cool. With a metre of cable attached to a 3.5mm stereo plug I can listen to the radio on my Bluetooth headphones

I have the phone in the best reception location and via the magic of Bluetooth I can listen to the radio (and answer calls) approx 6 metres away.
