[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chippyuk:
TBH, I would not worry or make it a buying point of a phone. The codec sounds good (although unnecessary for wireless listening and most probably inflated) but with the compression required over BT there is always going to be a trade off.

If you want good fidelity listening then a phone and Bluetooth cans is not the way to go anyway.

Oh and on top of that, after a quick search I could only find a single pair of headphones that allegedly support it which were on Amazon and no reviews about them etc...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dubt17:
As an audio engineer, and music composer who works with various forms of audio codecs, the difference between 16 and 24 bit in .wav files is almost unnoticeable, and that's with proper studio equipment. That's not to undermine that with apt x the extra headroom might provide a higher quality stream, but for streaming to your colored car audio system, regular old aptX is 100% fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] minoch:
I was hoping for more headroom in the dynamic range with Apt-x HD and now with the lackluster wired headphone performance on the SGE7. It's just a bit of a letdown

I ordered the SanDisk 200 gig. The goal was to finally replace my Ipod Classic 160.

Thanks for your input.

Shame, no 2016's technologies, no Quick Charge 3.0, no Apt-X HD, no USB Type-C... and you know what ? S8 will have all of this :D but the S8 will not have the 2017's technologies so , no very mega Quick Charge 4.0, no Apt-X Ultra HD, no USB Type-D :D.

It doesn't support Aptx-HD, then again, I don't think there is any current headset that do.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bofh999:
calm your tits

For get apt-x HD, the only important part is APT-X itself.

This is already CD quality with no lags (almost), HD is 8 bit more yes, but you most likly not even notice the difference between 16 and 24 bit.

well if youre an audio professional you might be able to tell the difference, true but this is a science on its own.

but for this you need capable equipment and the audiosource too.

both you probably aint gonna have mobile neither do you really need it.

the HD addition is in first line a marketing thing, and given that there only a handful , and i mean literally a handful, useable mobile apt-x headphones and headsets out there it wont matter at all. hell the best around ear set unter 500$ is sennheiser which means it looks very grim for high soundquality mobile devices anyway.

important is only that apt-x finally get distributed and lets hope headset and phone manufacturer finally put it in by default. then again most wont profit much due to their poor builds anyway - looking at bose here

btw those heaedset that already support HD - forget it. they may technically able to transfer the data but their audio hardware including drivers wont cut it to really use it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Chippy_boy:
Honestly mate, APTX HD is a complete waste of time on a phone, and probably on anything. The ONLY thing 24 bits are going to do is give you a lower noise floor. Let me say that again, so that it sinks in. The ONLY thing 24 bits is going to give you is a lower noise floor. That's it, period.

But since 16 bits already gives you a 96dB s/n ratio, that means that at any sensible listening levels, the noise is *way* below ambient background noise (unless you are listening at high volume in a perfectly silent room).

Then there's the small matter of the phone's electronics which perhaps produce more than -96dB of noise anyway, not that you can hear -96dB noise in any real world listening environment.

24 bit is a waste of time for consumer audio. For studio work and multiple overdubs, then yes perhaps. Other than that, it's all snake oil.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] griffin_1:
Im going from an s5, that has the aptx codec (not aptx hd from what i read), to a exynos s7, that doesn't have aptx. My question is, will the difference in sound quality be noticeable? My bt headphones aren't nothing special and are cheap (mpow swift) but they do support aptx and i have been happy with the sound quality using my s5, so i was wondering if i will notice any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Chippy_boy:
There's plenty of reasonably high-end and well regarded headphones that don't support aptx, and yet some cheapies that do. Conclusion: if it's not a critical for the high-end headphones, then you shouldn't miss it with your "nothing special" headphones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] SoNic67:
S7 Edge (US version, Snapdragon) on Android 7 (Nougat) had always aptX support, besides the native Samsung UHQ HD audio. Actually every phone with Snapdragon that I have tested (Motorola) had aptX since Qualcomm bought off CSR plc in 2015. Tested personally with Developer Mode, Bluetooth HCI Snoop log and decoded with Wireshark on PC.

And now, with Android 8 (Oreo) gained LDAC support too (Sony), thanks to Google. See the attached pic.

PS: The difference between codecs can be appreciated only when playing FLAC files.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapiollymega:
Hello,

I want to root my friends sprint note 4 (lolipop i believe). I was looking at this guide http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-4note-edge-on-android-5-1-1/ and it seems straightforward. A little different than what I had to do with my phone becuase I had to unlock the bootloader and then flash the recovery and supersu. (I've never used odin) Does this mean the bootloader is already unlocked by default since all I have to do is install the recovery and then the kernel?

I'm a little confused, once I get the recovery, can I flash roms to it? Do I have to change the kernel again if I want to install a ROM? I don't plan on putting a custom ROM on his phone but I want reflash the stock rom or a debloated stock rom because he said even after a factory reset it was buggy (if you can link me to a proper stock rom that supports xposed I would be grateful).

And I also want xposed to work, is there a specific xposed version I should install?

And also, if I do flash something, is this method correct?

Backup data

factory reset

flash

clear cache

restore data

reboot

or do I restore the data later?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapiollymega:
How is it dated exactly? I thought 5.1 is highest OTA for Note 4? Do OTA security patches change how things work now? I wouldn't know about security patches since I have a moto x 2013, we are left in the dust. ;)

This is the ROM I am looking at http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-t3271966

I'm still a little confused about the bootloader, right now my friend is on Sprint 5.1 lolipop. Is there a way to check the bootloader version? Can I not use Odin to install TWRP? And I'm not sure about the modem/kernel stuff, I didn't have to deal with it on my 2013 moto x. The website links to these kernels https://www.mediafire.com/folder/naq9dih44fndv/SM-N915P. Can I flash the latest kernel that was uploaded in January? The ROM contains root so I know I'm not supposed to flash superSU by itself, also obviously not to take any OTA's. I know that I'm supposed to install the wanam version of xposed that is optimized for samsung phones.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I answered that in detail.

No; it's the bootloader and updates that did that.

Good choice.

Answered. Use Phone Info from Google Play or Galaxy Tools.

Answered. Make sure you're updated, use Odin to flash TWRP and follow OP closely. I wouldn't concern myself with the kernels listed outside this forum. SuperSU and kernel are in those ROMs; they're pre-rooted. If you want an updated kernel, I'd recommend freeza Beastmode kernel from this forum.

Edit: don't use a Galaxy Edge ROM, kernel or recovery on a Note 4 or vice versa. To be clear, this is the Sprint Note 4 forum. SM-N910P not SM-N915P.

Edit 2: When flashing TWRP, verify the reactivation lock is unchecked in Settings/Security. Use latest Odin, uncheck only the auto reboot option. Once it flashes and you confirm 0 failed, pull USB and battery for 30 seconds. Reinstall battery and be sure to reboot directly into recovery. Skip steps and it may not stick.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapiollymega:
Sorry if I'm not understanding some of your post since I'm not that experienced with android or the post is kind of worded ambiguously. For TWRP, should I use 3.0 or 2.8.7?

I'm not sure what you mean here. Looking at youtube videos, people just flash TWRP with Odin. Should I just try to put TWRP in? I understand the part about either removing the battery or trying to instant go into recovery.

So the ROM I'm looking at already has a kernel? So all I need to do it flash the zip? And then install xposed? Is it recommended to restore data or should I boot first once and then restore data. Also on a side question: For data restoring, is there a way to only specifically restore apps from a data backup? Thanks for the help.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
It's the INTERNET that's ambiguous towards Touchwiz Android 5.1 There has been a few updates and each changed the way we do things. So when you say you're on Android 5.1, I say you need to be on the latest 5.1 update to have the greatest compatibility with the ROM you're choosing to flash.

Yes. You use Odin to install TWRP when rooting from full stock un-root to custom pre-rooted ROM. Perhaps my direction to Odin TWRP was ambiguous? Flash this in Odin AP slot with auto reboot unchecked- use the other option defaults from latest Odin:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51767811&postcount=1

I would restore data after installing Xposed. Keep in mind that these installation boots of custom ROM and Xposed take time. The less apps and data, the shorter the boot times will be. Plus the ROM will have more time to stabilize. After you've verified the last three of the bootloader and modem matches OK1, you can proceed with TWRP, then install ROM per the 1st post and immediate posts from OP. When you get to the Wi-Fi connection in setup wizard, make sure you have radio signal before connecting Wi-Fi. Make sure everything is stable and functional before Xposed installation.

Again, about the long boot times on installation. Best to keep case off the phone and ventilate phone with not too cool or ambient air. This will speed the process and possibly prevent component failure.

When your ready for Xposed, you need the Wanam unofficial Xposed framework.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62377731&postcount=1

You'll need sdk22 arm for Lollipop, not 64 bit Exynos or MM.

Currently it's the one labeled: xposed-v80.0-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211.zip

Grab the uninstaller too, just in case. You shouldn't need it but be prepared.

Edit: be sure to get the deodexed version of that ROM. Makes things easier for Xposed and Xposed compatibility when adding system applications, if that applies to anytime later.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapiollymega:
Thanks for all the help, did it over the weekend and everything went smoothly. Well except for one part before installing the new ROM, I deleted everything in data/system and forgot that the zip was In the internal storage instead of the sd card :eek:. And for whatever reason the PC usb connection wasn't working in TWRP so I had to use a flash drive and otg cable to put the zip ROM back in the phone. :)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eriklee95:
I installed TWRP (an older version, as my AT&T M9 is on 5.1 and doesn't support TWRP 3) and I accidentally wiped my system without a backup. Now there's no operating system, and every time I try to flash an RUU TWRP just instantly reboots without flashing anything. AOSP roms don't work as the firmware is out of date. Any idea what I should try next?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
Some questions:

- Would you outline the steps you take (boot to download mode?, attempt RUU install?)

- What RUU are you attempting to flash (are you using this one)?

- What version of TWRP are you using?

-- Can you still boot into TWRP?

My initial suggestion is that you flash CM 12.1, which is compatible with the Lollipop firmware of the M9. But ideally you could flash an RUU, update to the latest firmware and then go from there.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eriklee95:
CM 12.1 worked! Thanks a ton :)
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
Thanks go to the builder of the ROM , adlx.xda, who took the source of CM 12.1 and built it again after the project moved on to CM 13. We're pretty lucky to have dedicated developers here at XDA!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jaredroid:
Where are you choosing the audio file from to play it? This will make it easier for me to explain how to set poweramp as your default audio player. If you're choosing an mp3 from the 'My Files' "app" in the Samsung folder, for some reason it won't let you choose poweramp as a player. It's easiest to set it as the default player for audio files when you play the mp3 from a file explorer like ES File Explorer. Just check the box in the bottom after you choose the audio file you wish to play. Then choose poweramp. After that everytime you load an audio file of that type it will play in poweramp as it should. Another way to set your defaults is to download "Default App Manager Lite" and go through all of the file types and choose the application you wish to set as the default app and push the 'Set as Default' button. Those are the only options I can come up with outside of the standard Settings>Applications>Default Applications>Set as Default. I hope this clears things up for you.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Roy360:
Purchased a Oppo Find 7a over the weekend and I'm struggling with installing a custom rom.

Generally the steps I follow are:

1) Enable ADB debugging

2) Reboot into fastboot

3) fastboot oem unlock

However oem unlock doesn't work, and I think most of the AIO tools out there are more or less doing the same thing.

Is there a new version that simply does not unlock?

Hey guys, looking for a new double din android headunit and wondering what the best ones around $300-400 USD are. Wondering what ones are best also how is the dac quality?

[Android Head-Units] Clinton93:
How much worse would the sound quality on these be compared to a standard sony double din etc? Would it be a big loss?

Cheers
[Android Head-Units] harrybauls:
I'm not sure if an external USB DAC (and amplifier) would work - but worth a try. I'm guessing it will work for the Android digital sources but not sure about the radio.
[Android Head-Units] Hisma:
see this thread for reasons as to why the sound quality is so bad -

http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/m.../mtc-sound-controlling-bd37xxx-sound-t3234660

Effectively the units aren't even taking full advantage of the capabilities of the built-in sound processor, and worse, handling some things entirely wrong.

Also, the quality of the pre-amps makes a noticeable difference as well. As in, how much voltage they put out, as well as the quality of their shielding. These units have poor quality pre-outs from my experience. Mine puts out only 1V and is unshielded.

Last, there is no digital out option. Would be great if they included a SPDIF out for those that want to use an external sound processor, and is common on many higher-end units.

These units are simply not adequate for audiophiles, but you can still manage to pair them with a external soundprocessor & amp to squeeze some improvement out of it. For me though, I regret going through all the trouble of running wires, connecting an external amp/sub/etc and finding out how it's near impossible to get the sound quality the way I want it.
