Snaps

I did professional photography/videography for a number of years. When it comes to relying on a smartphone for great snaps, it can happen but for the most part it's an unrealistic expectation. Yes, some devices are better than others when it comes to camera utilities and functions but device manufactures continue to expand camera arrays to one up the competition and boost sales as most users will never engage all 5 or 6 cameras available on the S20 Series. IMHO they've gone overboard and as a result are asking Smartphones to achieve great results in all aspects of photo or video creation. Smartphones take OK photos and anyone can improve their results by focusing on the fundamentals of photography. Lighting first and foremost then Composition, Subject Framing and Depth of Field. When I want to text my friends I don't grab my Nikon, when I want to get a great snap I don't grab my Smartphone.

I have the same issue with not receiving incoming calls. There is a whole thread on Samsung forums of people with the same problem.

Regarding not receiving incoming calls:

I had this issue and figured out what was causing it. You need to disable VoLTE if you are not registered to use this service on your carrier's network.

Hi - So my S20+ had an included the buds+ as freebie, before this I've never owned any of these "truly wireless" buds. My last bluetooth earphones was a Samsung level U (free from S7 edge). So my question, are these "truly wireless" type earphones really horrendous in terms of sound quality? Would the airpods pro/non-pro or other higher end buds come close to the free akg ones? Or all of these buds are really on a separate low class of there own?

If I have to arrange my earphones in order of sound quality and put spaces/underscores to emphasize the difference

free akg (from S20) ______ Level U __ some old $20 sennheiser earphones i have ___________________________________________________________ buds+

** To audiophiles and other sound enthusiasts, I know all of these are garbage tier in the earphone/headset universe. **
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] vash_h:
Both is good. Not the best out there but it's not bad.

S20 comes with adapt sound.. Personalize it and create profile for buds+ and akg Wired earphone. If tweaked properly both sounds great.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] TheDriver67:
Love the earbuds +, lovely quality sound on them and you can tweak certain things using the Samsung Wearables app.

I can also adjust things via the Poweramp app which is my default music player.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] jonboi:
I got the Buds+ as part of my pre-order, so in anticipation of these arriving i sold the Huawei Freebuds 2 Pro that i had (and loved). Regretted it the moment the Buds+ landed and tested them. No-where near as good as advertised.

Bass quality was poor, wouldn't stay in my ears, and found them uncomfortable. I have since sold the Buds, and bought a set of Huawei Freebuds 3 to replace them. Much happier
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] vash_h:
Yeah I agree bass is bad. But i do love the feature to allow outside noise to enter the earbud. Makes it very useful in airports so u can hear announcements.

Before that I was on wired nakamichi NEP-MV18, it's a dual driver earphone with very very very good sound quality. Now seeing s20 don't have headphone jack in using that only on my pc.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] Radek Hulán:
Buds+ are, in fact, one of the best wireless headphones you can buy.

See some measurements: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/t...-wf-1000xm3/1791/917?usage=9287&threshold=0.1
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] jonboi:
Measurements mean nothing when it comes to the true user experience. I found them to lack audio quality where it matters. The Freebuds3 i'm now using are far better.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] Radek Hulán:
Of course measurements are important :) ****ty headphones never measure well... I'm using myself €1,100 headphones, custom made Harmony 8.2 in-ears from Custom Art, with 8 drivers in each enclosure, but Buds+ are very decent as well, using them for sport, and measurements prove it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] jonboi:
I don't need measurements to hear what is good or not. To me, the Buds+ were crap, not as advertised, so i got rid of them.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] Radek Hulán:
Depends what you prefer...

Measurements will show you headphones are or aren't able to play whole spectrum, from 50Hz to 20kHz, with no dips and spikes.

But you might prefer emphasized mids or bass, not precise sound ;) (e.g.)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] vash_h:
Different ppl have different needs.

When I was younger, my car ice was tuned to emphasize on bass.. And those gigantic passive subwoofers and amplifiers..

My amps only power the subwoofers and not the speakers.

Now, I have a active subwoofer, a way better set of speakers and tweeters.. And amps connected to speakers and tuned differently.

Buds+ might be good for some, not so good for others.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] dd66:
IMHO, I find the Buds+ very good,

AFTER

setting up a good equalizer, not the wear app one.

My music player (Stellio) has a great one, so I can enjoy a really good sound.

But I think they can't be sound lovers usable when out-of-the-box...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] vash_h:
I would recommend you give this a try. Adapt sound from the phones sound settings.

Just by this itself the sound quality improved a lot. Then adjust the equalizer of your music player to make it even better.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] josh030181:
Can you take a screen shot of your custom settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] dd66:
It's not settings at all, just run the Adapt sound process in a quiet environnement with your buds on and it will define it all by itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] vash_h:
Here you go. But yes you'll need to set it up. Go to a quiet place, it will play several tones at different frequency and adjust it accordingly.

I've set up a profile for buds+ and a different profile for my in car entertaiment unit.

And yes dolby is switched on for both.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
The Samsung equalizers don't come close to the Poweramp equalizer.

If you're using the Buds you'll want to use Poweramp to dail them in.

I didn't like the wired AKG's that came with my 10+ at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] chwads2k8:
can you post your settings for poweramp equalizer, also used buds + sounds great but i just increase everything in adapt sound profile.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
Try to avoid using 2 equalizers as it can add a lot of distortion. Poweramp has an excellent equalizer.

I sometimes "boost" my Poweramp EQ with the Wearables one, setting it to dynamic depending on the song. The Wearables EQ by itself though doesn't cut it.

The Buds and Buds+ have different EQ controls and aren't interchangeable. Both lack low end bass.

EQ settings are very individual and based on your unique hearing perception and preferences.

Generally though for the Buds, jack up the lower bass range especially the last sliders.

Try to make a linear transition across the sliders to form a smooth curve; abrupt heavy one band settings can lead to poorer quality sound. Center the curve starting from 0 db ie don't jack all bands beyond O db.

Turn on the limiter function to avoid clipping especially with the low bass.

This is one of my profiles for the Buds+
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] digitaljeff:
My thoughts. The galaxy buds+ are one of the best wireless buds available at its price point, comparable to the airpods pro. Each has there positives and negatives, if you run android tho, its an easy choice. I've tried both on both hardware (S20, i11 pro) and I personally prefer the buds+, but to each there own.

That being said.. the included AKG headphones are AMAZING, and for being included in the box, in my books beat out both... well because they're free. In my usage they also offer deeper lows and more tru mids. No matter which type of wireless ear buds I try, those are 2 things always missing.

Audio though is extremely subjective, so what I think is great, you and others may think is trash. Just dont go with airpods, you WILL be disappointed.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
Take look at my Buds+ thread.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-10+/how-to/galaxy-buds-buds-set-t4157285

I've played with them a lot now and I like them. Unless you spend a lot more money they're some the best bt buds you can get. Sony be the next upgrade; LDAC is the next better codec or another headset that supports this Sony codec.

Samsung doesn't support AptX-HD or higher.

For the Buds:

Use Poweramp/equalizer and the proprietary Samsung Scalable codec.

Do not use the Wearable EQ for your equalizer, you may like it but I don't; the curve from 1khz down is way too flat or over emphasized for me. Medium/high ranges are too bright on the dynamic setting.

Normal+ a good 3rd party EQ sounds best.

Do not use Dolby for listening to music; a lot of bass dropout and distortion.

&

For calls they sound great and you sound great to the caller.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] pierpippo:
Very very better AKG. The Buds plus have no bass. I prefer old Buds.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] ClaireCameron:
Agree with you guys
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
Buds+ are a lot better for music than the original Buds, I have both. Never use the original Buds now but they're ok for phone calls.

They both need an air tight seal for bass and both need Poweramp to jack up the lower bass.

The bass is actually relatively neutrally weighed rather missing. Mp3's have no low bass; use .wav files or higher. Bud+ bass extends to 30 hz maybe a little lower. The original Buds have much worse midrange to low bass reproduction, it's more muddy.

With a Samsung phone you have to go a LDAC based bud or headset to do better on bluetooth then the Buds+, Sony and Panasonic have them.

Buds+ aren't perfect but give a lot of bang for the buck and are the only ones that use the propiatory Samsung codec which is better than SBC, AptX and AAC.

Still no hardware bt APTX-HD on any Samsung smartphone... really?

Using wired headsets with the new Note's are a pain at best and potentially C port breaking at worst. Yes, well... pick your poison*.

*Samsung:"We will never remove the 3.5 mm jack." I see...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] Kris B:
Straight out of the box I too was disappointed with the Buds+, it felt like the bass was lacking.

It wasn't.

The problem is you need to try different tips/wings to create a good seal.

If you find you're still not getting a great seal, rotate the bud in your ear slightly.

I ended up getting some comply foam tips for good measure, I was blown away immediately, the bass is so accurate and clean, there's no boomyness to them, I'm really impressed at how accurate and crisp they sound.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
An absolutely air tight seal is needed. A very small amount of liquidfied coconut oil works wonders and helps prevent swimmer's ear. Teflon tape can be used if needed for better seal.

Make sure you update Wearables software (they just pushed out an update today) and the Buds firmware. Update firmware with bluetooth/Wearables active and the Buds in their case with the lid open close by.

Give it at least 5 minutes to flash it.

Don't screw this up!!!

I use Poweramp's EQ to dail the Buds+ in fully as they are a bit too bright around 2khz and need a midrange/low bass boost. Most Android graphic equalizers suck and add noticeable distortion... Poweramp doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] Kris B:
Poweramp has been my go to music player for years. Nothing comes close.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
Thank you for the foam tip idea. That might be the best sealing/acoustic solution for the Buds:)

Anyone else had this issue ? Have I a faulty handset , it came direct from samsung UK so I have emailed them for a replacement but in the mean time wonder if it's a known issue or I am doing something wrong or it's a faulty handset

PixelExperience Plus Edition for Redmi Note 4G [Dior]

What is this?

Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)

Based on Android 9

What’s working?

Almost Everything

Known issues

Some apps can’t get the network connection status

Such as YouTube, WhatsApp.

Ignore it, app can connect network actually.

Vibration didn’t work.

You need to use 3rd-party app to disable buttons light or use this command echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness with su to disable.

Can’t change wallpapers

Before install

Don’t flash GApps, already included.

The ROM removed Inputmod(Gboard), so before you install PE Please prepare the Inputmod install package.

You can download Gboard at here

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/gboard/gboard-9-2-7-303045247-release/

Because the first issues, so before login your Google account, don't click the status bar message.

Because the device /system space is to small, so I remove some app at PE, you can learn more about here

Can you explain little bit more about inputmod.
[Redmi Note Android Development] claudchan:
It's the keyboard not included in the rom due to insufficient space. So, you have to download latest Gboard from apkmirror save into internal storage. Once you flashed the rom, first time setup you won't able to use keyboard. Skip it and install Gboard apk.
[Redmi Note Android Development] abhi21sept:
So you are saying, that rom doesn't have any keyboard, due which I have to skin initial setup (wifi connect and password)?

Can I delete pico tts additional languages, print service, livewallpaper and other unnecessary apps from twrp and place gboard.apk into system, will it work?
[Redmi Note Android Development] TheModExpert:
I've tested this ROM but I was not able to sign in my Google account

it always said that you don't have internet connection the bug you mentioned that some apps are not able to get data connection

Everything is working fine another bug is it shows 3g instead of 4g and data connection is not stable when I open mobile networks the setting apps crashes again and again

some basic apps missing like phone ~messages ~clock etc that's not a big problem for me

If the developer will fix google login problem or data connection it will the best ROM for this device better than mokee 9.0 just because of no google service on mokee

Thanks to wubaolong and subdragonzj for doing this awesome job

I don´t even miss the touchscreen. The camera is not very good, but at least as good on any camera in a Windows Mobile device except the Samsung Omina.
