[Xperia Z1 Accessories] The Driv3r:
Hello guys

I've made a few posts but never an introduction. Anyways I'm not the most familiar with a lot of android stuff like "rooting" and such but I do have a vast knowledge of different skill. I do professional detailing and use ALOT of products. Not all the products are relevant but some definitely are. I see a lot of BS claims on here about scratch resistance and hydrophobic coatings. I currently run a sony C6906 on AT&T, anyways I've been using some of my professional products on my phone. I use Car-pro Hydro2 which coats the entire phone as it is not like a conventional solution but actually spreads by using water to activate. The application takes about 5 seconds and lasts about 3-4 months easy. AS far as coatings go the liquid sapphire that I read about seems ok but dealing with products that provide professional results I can say there are only two products that can provide a decent level of protection Opti-coat 2.0 or CQuartz Finest. In the next few weeks I'll be playing with ways to remove scratches from the glass itself. I have some idea's, right now pure cerium oxide or Car-pro Ceri-glass are the most likely candidates. Hope this helps, I'll try to contribute what I can since I'm a little android illiterate.

Cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
I don't know how this happen but it was previously on JB (slimbean) and I flashed Slimkat. It said it couldn't installation had failed a couple of times, so I did a factory reset and stuff and wiped the phone completely and tried again. The phone flashed correctly this time and I was able to boot into Kitkat, everything was working fine.

But when I tried to install Greenify etc. I found out that I had lost root. I'm not sure how this happened because obviously I was previously rooted otherwise none of this could have worked. I tried flashing another kernel (Mackay) nothing changed. I tried installing SuperSU etc. nothing.

Any ideas why? I just want to be rooted so that I can use the Galaxy S Unlock app to unlock the phone which is my main concern (need it for new sim). If there is any other method to unlock the phone without having to root it would be fine as well as long as I can unlock the phone.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joedom1:
When you flash most of these KitKat ROMs it seems you lose the superuser facility in so doing. Go to Settings>About Phone>Build number .... and press it like 7 times until it says you have developer options. Then go to Developer options and allow root access to apps or apps and ADB depending on your preference.

Then try Galaxy S unlock.

If the unlock doesnt work (and I know some people who say it hasnt) go back to GB 2.3.6 stock, root it with cf-root as usual, and then try unlock there. Then move back up to your kitkat after its unlocked.

Incidentally when moving up to Kitkat be sure to flash fist Cyanogenmod ROM, CM10.2 (or above) to get the new CWM recovery and the correct partition so that the rom works well.

Let us know
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
Thanks for the response. What I did was flashed semaphore for KitKat using Odin. That did the trick for giving root. Used galaxsim unlock and everything succeeded except for one thing (network lock) but I think that may have been due to there being no Sim in the phone currently.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stallione:
Root permission

Thanks man!! I was also worried abt this. Installed SlimKat on my GT-N7000, everything worked ok (still testing) until I wanted root access, I installed SuperSU but it didnt get any response, I even reinstalled the CWM, which screwed my firmware (had to reinstall that too! :silly: )

After pressing "build number" as u said repeatedly, I got the developer options enabled, where I activated root permission. Then SuperSU installed n updated with proper root permission! :good:

Been on MDL this entire time. Running Danvdh's 4.4.2 KitKat ROM....I really have no reason to update my modem because I think the service I get it just fine...but i was wondering if I should do it anyway just because a newer modem probably has better service? Thoughts?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
Read the available modems thread, read the information, feedback from those who tried it and then make up your own mind whether it's worth it. If you try it, record the results you get from each one you test. You can also flash back to the mdl modem if you so desire. I flashed the NB1 modem on my 4.3. In my experience, It is noticeably better than the mk2 modem. Good luck grass hopper.

If you are running stock 4.4.2 Kit Kat, then you have the latest modem, do you not? What is your base band number?

Oh right forgive me for not catching that. Hey it's the weekend (hic) right? :silly: Well, if your not having issues, don't worry about it. But it's a simple process to flash a modem. The only way you'll know for sure is to try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] r8revealed:
I was rooted on 4.3 when I wanted to take the OTA 4.4.2 (this phone barely has any life in it for AOSP custom ROMS, I might as well take 4.4.2 TW). The upgrade failed so I unrooted via Kingo and then flashed the MK2 .tar to be on the safe side of things. I took the OTA and things worked fine. I realized that upon reboot this morning, I had a "Samsung Custom" splash screen, which is essentially a big red flag. Anyone know how to get rid of this on 4.4.2?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GGT4LIFE:
Hey XDA, I have reading through all the posts and cant seem to find a solid answer on this. Im looking for an in-ear earphones that provide amazing bass, without forgetting the sound quality. I like the original earphones that come with the samsung note 2 , they are pretty good and with some mods the bass that gets pushed out of them are actually pretty impressive. Problem is they arent durable at all, one of the earbuds always dies and only one works after a month or so. So as a wrap up I need :

*Amazing Bass as well as sound quality

*Durable

*Less then $140

Thanks !
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] deepa2119:
Here

i dont know whether u believe it r not.but these are the best earphones par better than samsung original..im using them from almost 8 months.getting better and beter.price is much lower than highrated dumb headphones

link:http://www.tekfusiontechnologies.com/twinwoofers-m-in-ear-headphones/
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I would suggest posting this question in Accessories Section of XDA in Jeremy's Headphone/Earphone guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2131021

You can also look through my headphone reviews: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192333, though my focus is on balanced audiophile sound rather than basshead sound.

The problem with exaggerated bass is that it overpowers mids and treble, and muddies the song. Typically you want to look for something that has V-shaped sound (boost in mid-bass and treble and recessed mids). If you look in my review list, you will get that from Meelec M-Duo and Sennheiser CX895 (very high quality for bass with right set of eartips). But one that I would also recommend, so don't have it myself is Shure SE-215 - it goes for about $99 (either on Amazon or Saltwater) and has removable cables to extend longevity of headphones. My personal fav which I used everyday is Westone W40 but it's $500 quad-driver with tamed bass, not a basshead. There are also a few budget options I'm trying to get review samples of, Xiaomi Pistons 2 (about $30) and Astrotec AX35 (dual driver with dynamic driver for bass and armature driver for mids/treble).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] celticpride34:
I'd recommend the Klipsh Image x10's. You can get em off amazon for $136.98 right now. Very crisp with surprisingly good bass. It'll be better than most other things out there.

If you can go another hundred bucks, you can get a pair of Sennheiser IE80s from Amazon.De (no import tax, ships to the US in about a week). They are, by far, the BEST bass you can get in an IEM with one of the largest soundstages of any pair of cans. They're worth the upgrade if you use IEMs a lot.

EDIT: Just stay away from Beats by Dre. Seriously. They're branded crap made by Monster. They have bass because they overload the lows so much it distorts everything else and the drivers arent quality so overtime the bass will get muddled and sound like crap. The X10s or a pair of Shures will sound exponentially better and are made better by people who know how to make and design headphones. You can get a beats plugin or flash a beats mod to get everything that would make any headphone sound just as crappy as a pair of $150 dres.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
x10 has a quality bass, not the "basshead" quantity he is looking for ;) Klipsch is definitely a great choice, but they are more in an audiophile category rather than "fun" category, and also their quality went down (just like UE and others).

Regarding Beats, yes, stay away from them. I wouldn't blame Monster as much since they were under a contract to manufacture these headphones rather than design them. If anybody to blame it's Dr Dre ;) Once their contract expired in 2012 and Beats went on to manufacture their own stuff, Monster is actually pumping some quality products. I just posted review of their DNA Pro over-ear headphones (in my sig link of reviews), and the sound was top notch. I'm waiting now to receive Monster iSport Victory to check out how their new in-ears sound.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] codecxbox:
Skull Candy FJM. fits the bill, less than 24 dollars. Equalize with Viper4Android, done deal.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gub:
Monoprice 8320 "enhanced bass" or ones in the same family. It's less than $10 and they often score higher than much more expensive earphones in reviews.

Of course, with a budget of $140, you can get something better, but if the Monoprice suit you fine, well, you saved $130.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GGT4LIFE:
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone , I ended up getting the Meelec M-Duo and these are some solid earphones, modded some of the audio on the note 2 and its gives great bass that shakes my ears and I can still hear the song clearly, solid purchase! Thanks vectron for the tip !
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Meelec makes solid products, they got top support, and quite a reputation even from audiophiles on head-fi. For $66 M-Duo is a great value.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bkeruba:
I would recommend Audio Technica CKS77 great bass and clarity.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Norman3000:
What I Use

What I'm currently using is those Philips Earbuds which cost about $15 only

For Bluetooth i highle recommend Sony SBH50 or SBH52, decent bass changeable earphones and Less than $140

I´m not an audiophile and I´ve been using the bundled earphones since day one.

I think that the Note2 sound quality with these earphones is really good (the rom I use also has a lot of sound tweaks).

Do you think that the sound quality will notoriously improve using other (better) in-ear headphones? (they must be in-ear).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
The sound will improve exponentially!!!!!!

Btw, you guys have to check out these $25 in-ear headphones, I just reviewed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2671888 - you definitely get a pumping bass, decent clear sound, and full Android control including volume!!! I still can't get over it. After I received it a few days ago.

thanks for this link, I hv red through it and saw their testimonies. I believe I hv found a very good earpiece which I have been looking for.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
It's peoples personal preferences on how the headphones sounds, i'm using 3 headphones, sony xba 3, ex600 and ex800st, all considered as good headphones, the xba 3 being a headphone on the moves with reasonable quality in both sound and built.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fade2black101:

I already posted above the link to my review: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2671888 - full android controls including vol +/-. And it got bass!!!!!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RTC88:
Klipsch x10 is one of ny favorite IEMs that I've tried. It's comfortable, sound great, and have good and tight bass without compromising the details of the rest of the music.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EnGiNeEr123:
Though it's OVER THE EAR but I would recommend SENNHEISER HD 202. GREAT BASS
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fade2black101:
Thanks for the link.

The price seems too cheap to be really good though, and I was looking to spend more. Will have a read through the review though and the first few sentences intrigue me. I have a few questions though..

How do they compare to the BlueBuds X?

How do they compare to the stock HTC One earphones?

Will any of the comply foam tips fit with these?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
BBX is wireless - bluetooth compresses the sound, in comparison to pistons - BBX will sound a bit veiled and narrow

Have no idea about stock HTC One, this is Note 2 accessories section so we all got N2s ;) If yours came with HTC Beats, they might be ok, but in general Beats make their bass bloated and with recessed mids.

Comply will work with anything, probably T400 or T500 since tip is wide. Personally, they work better with sony hybrid tips (a lot of ebay "hybrid" tips out there. i ordered one for $0.99, will update pistons review once I get it).

There are a lot of other great choices, but more expensive. If you like bass and nice balanced sound with great vocal clarity, I'm in a process of reviewing Beyerdynamic new line of IEMs. MMX 102ie has in line remote but no volume, while DX 160ie without remote but slightly better bass. Both have amazing clarity and dynamic sound. Each one around $100. Both of the reviews should be up later tonight if I finish it. I post all my reviews in General Accessories section of XDA where my Index page (link in the sig) is a sticky. Subscribe to it or visit that section not to miss all the reviews!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fade2black101:
Thanks for your reply.

The reason I asked is because those are the two earphones I'm currently using so was looking to see how these ones compare to it. The HTC One actually came with HTC buds which, in my opinion, are a little better than the Urbeats the HTC Sensation XE came with. The Bass is indeed much more prominent than the mids though! Ended up ordering them based on your review so I'll be looking forward to testing them out. Since I'm in the UK though it will probably take a little while to ship here. Will take a look at those Sony tips as I really want a foam type bud.

How do they compare to the MMX 102ie you are currently testing out?

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
MMX 102ie beats them in sound quality. If you need to use in-line remote (minus volume control), I would recommend this one. If you are OK without in-line remote - DX 160ie has audiophile quality sound (perfectly balanced, super detailed, and powerful bass extension).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fade2black101:
Well I ended up ordering the Xiaomi ones so hopefully there isn't a great big quality gap between that and the MMX :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
You will not regret! Though after reviewing MMX102ie and DX160ie - review posted now: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2706137 - there will be a gap in sound quality, but at the expense of 4x the price ;)

Hi all,

I Have been looking for an answer to my problem with no success...

Here it is: yesterday, suddenly both sms and gmail apps stopped displaying all my messages. Only the latest 5 would be displayed on my watch. This happened at the same time for both extensions. I had been using my watch for months with about 20 messages in my gmail account and dozens of sms, all displayed on my watch with no problem, available even offline.

Tried to uninstall reinstall apps, reset the smartwatch, nothing solved the problem :(

Anybody observed this before?

Thanks a lot in advance !!
