You can download any of music with it, just try it out :)
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
Thanks for showing this! I was looking for something like this for a long time....

But, unfortunately, although it downloads as a .m4a audio file, I don't believe it downloads in very high quality like Spotify Premium offers -- which is alright with me, but OP stated "same quality as Spotify." I'm not sure if OP means same quality as Spotify Premium or desktop/web-browser, but I imagine he'd want it as highest quality as possible since he's a DJ and means to use it and would need better than average quality -- which Spotify Premium offers.

I've never had Spotify Premium, but I doubt the audio files that one can download from it (or the ones that are locally stored encrypted) are a lowly 44.1 KHz and 131kbps (from the test song I downloaded)....

Just thought @odjmike should be aware of this....
[General Questions and Answers] odjmike:
hey,

I've already tested it and it's not approved. Initially it seemed to have some quality but then it ended up making noise, and sometimes I got the feeling that it was music from a video clip. Thanks anyway for the help
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
I personally use Newpipe and the quality for me is fine. Considering you're presumably blasting music through speakers, 99% of any additional quality you'd get from lossless audio is probably lost anyways.
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
At a glance, Newpipe looks a lot like Minitool uTube Downloader -- would you be familiar with that program and/or have thoughts on comparisons?

And, to be sure that this relates on-topic, if Newpipe is similar to Minitool uTube Downloader, then both those programs have options to be sure to download the audio in the highest quality (kbps) and even to .wav (that means uncompressed, right?) format! I mean, I know it depends on the uploader and how they uploaded it and whatever Youtube does to compress audio to make it more streamable, but alternatives being limited as it is....

I know, if you are willing to pay some, that Spotify is now going to release lossless audio (soon, if not already) as well as Apple, Tidal, Amazon, and Deezer -- you just have to pay subscription, but I imagine you could download them offline as you can with Spotify premium/Pandora/etc....
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
I do not, I only ever used Seal and Newpipe. Seal would add album covers and other album data to the file, so I stopped using it. Newpipe downloads (seemingy) raw .m4a files with no extra data other than the title (file name).

As far as I know, Youtube's audio format is .m4a, which Newpipe seems to download raw in the same quality. Youtube does not use the .mp3 format, downloaders that get .mp3 files from Youtube convert it from .m4a first.
[General Questions and Answers] odjmike:
When talking about a large sound system with processors, compressors and amplifiers, you can not use music from YouTube. The probability of noise coming out is quite high.
[General Questions and Answers] khusika:
I think the only way is use Spotify Premium to get better sound quality, since you will be using it for commercial purposes
[General Questions and Answers] ZG_DEV:
Try using SnapTube, You can download any video/music with any quality and Extension you want !
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
So I imagine .wav and .m4a in "raw in the same quality" should be the same then....

But I'll be sure to check out Newpipe now! Thanks!

Hello everyone,

So recently i installed android 13 on my duo 1. But now i want to go back to stock rom.

So i went to the microsoft website and downloaded the original rom.

But everytime i try to sideload it, i get this error.

I know it says it's not the correct rom, but its the only one i can download with my serial number.

View attachment 6029597

Can someone help me out?
[Microsoft Surface Duo Questions & Answers] ZG_DEV:
You got the stock rom for EU region ( Europe), you need to get the global version of your rom and then sideload it ;)
[Microsoft Surface Duo Questions & Answers] dauw:

[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Updated to 2.0.4 and have noticed a sudden plunge in battery life.

Gone from getting 10-12 hours SOT to quite a bit less.

Aiming for around 7-8 hours ATM.

All the apps I'm using are identical from 2.0.3-2.0.4 I've even factory wiped.

Will give it a few days see how it goes.

Anyone else has this with 2.0.4?
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
Same here. I hope they fix it soon.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Ah crap ok, well I'll give it another whirl from 100% and see how it goes again..

Someone said theirs had improved...? Not sure about that.
[Nothing Phone 2] ImjustSaiyan92:
Guess I'll hold off then. This thing is a battery tank on 2.0.3.
[Nothing Phone 2] shaurya124:
Seems fine
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Yea exactly... It's annoying me.

Lost 4% overnight...
[Nothing Phone 2] GaddariKarbe:
I have stop monitoring battery since 3 years

I just charge and discharge
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
I like to know if I'm getting the best from my phone streamlining is part of my setup and maintenance..

Means I charge less and the phone lasts longer overall... better on battery.
[Nothing Phone 2] xtcislove:
I usually do the same but if something strange happens i take notice.

This was a big reason for me to not lite the OP8Pro and P7Pro.

Never thougt of battery on my Huawei P30 Pro, Phone 1 and now Phone 2 until 2.0.4.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
So I have disabled and uninstalled a few system apps, android intelligence, emergency SOS, turned off play protect and removed all trackers from all apps using app manager.

Right now I'm running 6 hours with 40% left.

So heading back to 10 hours, also deleted an audio mod so that seems to have helped too.

Good times again I guess.

View attachment 6030149
[Nothing Phone 2] shaurya124:
Could you specify which system apps?
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Can't be 100% but.

System intelligence

Printer spooler

Android auto

Calendar

Digital wellbeing

Google ar

Health connect

Personal safety

Easter egg

Log tool

Market feedback agent

Like I said I also used the GitHub app called app manager, it identifies trackers within apps... There's tonnes of them depending on the app, I disabled all of them.

App manager can also freeze or uninstall any app.

Plus I restricted battery usage on a tonne of apps, see pic below.

[Nothing Phone 2] shaurya124:
I use most of those on a daily basis so it's not viable for me to remove them,but it seems weird that battery life has considerably dropped with minor changes

Let's hope that Android 14 fixes the battery life
[Nothing Phone 2] dpryor88:
I'm on the 1st android 14 open beta at the moment. It's only a beta, and the first one at that, but battery has gotten way worse for me. On 2.0.3, I was getting 9-11 hours of sot on average. On the a14 beta, I'm getting around 6 hours. Not a huge deal for me personally, but it's definitely a noticeable difference.

I read that the next beta should be dropping in the next few days or so, so let's hope battery is improved.
[Nothing Phone 2] shaurya124:
There's some event on the nothing discord server about electing someone from the nothing community to convey the community's thoughts directly to the nothing board

As there's a considerable drop in battery life I'm sure many people will talk about it and it hopefully gets fixed
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
As I suspected.. I'm back to 10 hours.

View attachment 6030327
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
You use printing? The Easter egg? System intelligence? Personal safety? SOS? Google AR?

Lol why?

I've noticed no difference in phone usage but battery has improved.

It's your call if you want better battery life.

I do use a calendar but not the Google one, I use business calendar pro because it's just so much better, it still syncs my Google events
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
It's a beta so battery being worse and bugs is 100% expected.

That's why I wouldn't install it.
[Nothing Phone 2] o012:
Silly question, are you on the current latest build of app manager and is it a little laggy/unresponsive or maybe the gui isnt quite reading touches correct?
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
No mines perfectly fine...never slows down.

V3.1.3
[Nothing Phone 2] shaurya124:
I don't use them regularly but I might these sound like features that I might need to use in rare cases and I wouldn't want to be helpless in that situation as I have had such experiences with debloating other phones

I do understand that it is a viable tradeoff for better battery life , hopefully the battery life returns to normal with the android 14 update
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Just freeze them then, unfreeze if you need them...same difference as uninstalling..

From my experience, newer operating systems generally do not equal better performance, that comes much much later.

I have faith in Nothing but I would set my expectations very low for performance and battery life to begin with..

The beta is already shown to have poor battery life compared to 13, so for me I would assume more of the same at first at least.

Hopefully I'm wrong but I doubt it.

A Kernel is made once for the Phone when it releases. And then kept trough all the updates with only minor modifications.

you rarely get any Kernel version updates -.-

and yes in auto mode selecting raw+jpeg and selecting 2.0d (48mm) raw now it works
[Sony Xperia 1 V] MiszaMSA:
I think this is nothing new. When you select raw + jpeg you can zoom in to 48mm, but only the jpg version comes out like that. Raw is still being saved in 24mm. I hoped that we'll be able to shot cropped raws for better macro.

[Sony Xperia 1 V] almirsahbaz:
This is so strange. I've always got OTA updates same moment they become available on Sony servers.

But this time update won't show up at all, and I'm using Customized EU/UK firmware (never modified anything), phone bought in Sony reseller store in Croatia.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] roerisi:
The same for me😭
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Haldi4803:
I think Sony might really be doing a staggered rollout.

Only make it available for verry few people to collect but reports in case something fails.

Or they already found a critical bug and stopped the rollout!

I tried. And failed.

Had to repair with PC companion...

Just for the info. Which files do you need to delete from the firmware folder before you start newflasher?

I'm not entirely sure. But is there only EU/UK version for DK54?

Haven't seen any other Customization on Xperifirm and everyone else here in the forum seem to have the same one if it isn't SEA/US edition.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Poni0:
I didn't deleted any files just kept the user data when it prompt.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] roerisi:

Update according to my problem with screen sometimes staying black after unlocking the phone:

1. The problem was not fixed by changing animations length and doesn't disappear even after a clean instal via Xperia Companion.

2. I identified this is a problem with screen brightness. When I blindly navigate on the black screen to the brightness slider I'm able to brighten it. Strange thing is that manually you cannot set the screen to totally black, but this bug makes it happen. For now I've turned off auto brightness and will see if this is the buggy thing.

It is not new bokeh and 2.0 or 1.1, 1.2 etc it's not true 2.0, that should be on 14 android and already exist on 5v. So no one has new bokeh. Such a shame sony. Hope, they fix it soon

Back on Android 13 we had a proper Graph showing Battery % exactly at the timestamp when it dropped.

View attachment 6034124View attachment 6034126

Now Android 14 has Segmets... each Day is a Segmet with a straight Line from Start% to Stop% if you select a Day you get a new graph below which is segmente into 2h parts and if you select one of those you see which app was active during that time and how much battery % it used.

This certainly is more intuitive to use for DAUs as you can easily see where the battery dropped the most and then check what app was active.

But for us power users that knowledge doesn't really help much.

But hey, we still got battery Historian.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] tomo100brt:
Yes it is new bokeh and if you compare it with old bokeh, it is improved and better. Only what is not there is 2.0x from XPERIA 5 V or 48mm mode.

Anyone have a fix for bluetooth on this build? I never have had an issue with bluetooth on any Sony device for years and this 14 build on the Xperia 1 V simply doesn't work properly. I keep connecting/disconnecting and getting a connection refused error.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Haldi4803:
figured it out.

Dimming only happens when you Unlock the Screen.

So if you walk with a dark screen into a bright room nothing changes, but if you lock and unlock the phone again it refreshes.

Might be a battery optimization feature.

[Sony Xperia 1 V] eltoffer:
what do you mean by broken?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] QuadrifoglioVerde:
AOD does not change brightness dynamically by ambient light (on A13 this works fine), temporary fix can be done by macrodroid (15sec timer measuring lux and change brightness based on this value) but it's not perfect :(

EDIT: WiFi6 works few hours then dies with "checking internet" or something like that, and must be turned off and on again, this works on A13 fine too... 🙄 I expect this on low cost devices and not from flagship.

This latest update, does anyone else think speaker volume is really quiet now? The phone doesn't seem to get as loud as it used to at high volume and is overall much much more quiet. I'm finding I'm having to turn the volume up a lot more to be able to hear it....
[Sony Xperia 1 V] ugoff:
The frequency of the backlight not coming on when waking the phone as decreased. It's pretty pathetic that they haven't fix this entirely.
