First of all, thanks to Cyanogen and contributors for his G1 and N1 ROM's.

Recently, I've been using FLAC for music playback ripped from my CD's for tracks that I want lossless (especially for classical music). Most of the time, I'm using my Motorola S805 (Bluetooth) for the cans that I got on Black Friday back in 2009 from Newegg for a low price of $20 USD, shipped. -- Best money I spent for Black Friday ;) Granted they're normally overpriced but they perform fairly well for the price I paid.

So after using FLAC and the S805 on my ASUS notebook which has built-in Bluetooth, I moved some of the FLAC files onto my Nexus One and paired my S805 to the N1 and started some FLAC playback...

The difference in quality blew me away. It's so much clearer playing back FLAC files on the N1 to my S805's than it ever was using VLC under Windows 7. I'm at a loss on why the difference. -- Yes, I've attempted to adjust the "volume" on both the Windows Mixer and the S805 internal volume controls as the same on the N1. There's virtually *no hiss" when playing back FLAC files on the N1 than on my ASUS notebook. I have a very noticeable "elevated" noise floor on the ASUS among "compression artifacts" which I don't think I should have.

Does anyone know what might be the cause?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Kermee

Happened to come across this so I'll reply even though it's quite old.

The audio output on the Nexus one is average. I believe you can find the frequency graph of the Nexus One at the gsmarena.com review of it. So while it's not stellar, it's not bad. More than likely you're hearing a difference because your notebook's output is low quality.

Notebooks generally have poor audio quality and tend to generate a lot of noise. You'll especially notice it when your computer is under load or when you plug it into a powersource. It's like electronic interference, afterall everything on the laptop is packed together pretty tightly. The other reason is just poor hardware. Sound gets neglected frequently on notebooks. The best solution is to pickup an exteranl soundcard (I know soundblaster makes a few usb ones) or even better get yourself a usb DAC (digital analog converter) and a headphone amplifier. ibasso.com has several versatile ones.

Goto head-fi.org for some audiophile info.
[Nexus One General] G0belet:
This doesn't explain why Bluetooth headphones, completely disconnected from the computer, sounds bad ;)

I'd say the most likely reason is some difference of A2DP implementation between the two. Maybe the standard Bluetooth stack on a computer lacks polish on this part.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Well the N1 isnt a good audio player at all since the frequencies are cut off. Also flac really wouldnt make a difference until you buy a high end set of headphones (UM3x, Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 etc.) and a source to match it (nice DAC, amp). Instead of wasting all the space on flac you should just go for vbr or the like since bluetooth will not be able to fully take advantage of it. Head-fi is a great place to start, but be careful since your wallet will hate you if you really do start getting into buying nicer headphones.
[Nexus One General] OJ in Compton:
If you're just using your nexus one and an A2DP headset, there isn't a difference in audio quality between a file ripped at V0 bitrate and flac. You're only going to really hear the details a FLAC file has with a high end audio setup or good headphones with an amp, and your nexus+the motorola headset do not fall into those categories :) It isn't a criticism of your setup, they literally cannot reproduce the details.

As far as your question, it might have to do with the bluetooth stack as well as the hardware/interference in your laptop, but that's just a guess as I'm not too knowledgeable on the workings of bluetooth audio.
[Nexus One General] earlyberd:
The N1 is barely a year old, and since it's designed primarily as a phone, it should have a fairly new Bluetooth radio and stack, probably much newer than whatever you have bundled in your Asus laptop. In fact both the desktop dock and the car dock use Bluetooth to stream the audio to the auxiliary audio port, which may seem a bit roundabout to audiophiles, but thanks to the new hardware there's very little noticeable loss to the average consumer, and it makes it easier to connect and disconnect from the dock.

That said, being such a new technology, Bluetooth has only recently improved to the point of being a decent quality source for streaming audio. I have an old USB Bluetooth adapter in my desktop that I bought right about the time when A2DP was first available, and its audio quality is pretty bad, too. And like any standard for streaming data, Bluetooth's perceived streaming quality is highly dependent on the hardware on both ends, meaning that the maximum quality you'll get is that which is achievable of the older of the two devices.

Any audiophile will tell you that if you want true quality, you should just ditch wireless technologies altogether, which I too have done. But for your purposes, and in the interest of saving money, you can bring your laptop up to par with your N1 by simply installing a new Bluetooth stack, or, if that doesn't work, buying a new USB Bluetooth adapter, preferably one that is advertised to work well for music.
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
Wow. I completely forgot about this thread. LOL.

I figured it out in the end what was happening. -- The negotiated 'bitpool' setting between my Windows 7 BT stack and the A2DP headphones was somehow negotiating at the "min" which was somewhere around the low 30's. Using some BT diagnostic tools on my MBP (different machine than the ASUS Windows 7 machine), I found the "max" bitpool rate which the A2DP headphones supported was 53.

I found out that the N1 was connecting to my A2DP headphones at the "max" bitpool rate which my headphones supported. The sound quality between a bitpool rate of "53" vs "30" is huge. Hence why playback on the N1 sounded so much better.

I never did find out how to force the 'bitpool' rates in Windows 7 and gave up. I did under Snow Leopard 10.6 on my MBP.

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus One General] earlyberd:
The default Microsoft Bluetooth stack in Windows 7 does not include the ability to change the bitpool settings, nor does the standard Broadcom WIDCOMM stack.

Most people opt to use the BlueSoleil Bluetooth stack for more advanced functions, and I can confirm that BlueSoleil does have the ability to adjust bitpool settings. Unfortunately the product costs about $25, and you will need to check to make sure that BlueSoleil is compatible with your laptop's integrated Bluetooth.
[Nexus One General] wolfcry0:
Ok, I just have to put this out there, unless you have a very good sound card, a good amplifier, and good headphones, there is no reason to use FLAC audio files unless you just feel like wasting HD space.

Bluetooth audio has really bad bitrate and won't even come close to flac.
[Nexus One General] blastroid:
I agree bluetooth audio quality leaves a lot to be desired. It is so nice to be able to drag flacs over to the phone and listen, though. Definitely one of my favorite features of Android and that 32gb card investment made it happen!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tsalta:
I understand that many of you are excite about this new OS WM7 but, to be published daily variety of subjects, which is the most:) And so on.

I personally do not like the new visual OS, but this does not mean that it will be in live prew.

I thought, not stimulates, and every day to comment on, something we are not clear.

Who can say whether it prefers WM6.5 or WM7 in that situation you've never used WM 7???

One is to watch a preview online, but quite another thing to hold in your hands this phone and use this new OS.

Only then can express relevant opinions.

But before that happens, all other comparisons and topics are to put it mildly ridiculous

Regards
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kel16harris:
did this really deserve a completley new thread? you couldve posted this in the opinion thread. yes we know, ppl are going nuts over wp7s but come on, this is just adding to it;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] young blade:
Its only adding to it because there are people around who can't behave them selfs..:cool:

Thats how the "Game Over" tread got destroyed..

Neverthless this is a forum.. this is where we discus things.. but in a well ballanced way..:D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tsalta:
1st i was thinking to wirte it on some already opened Thread but honestly they are ALOT and its hard to choice where to write exactly.

The best thing is to open New Thread many peoples to be able to see and eventualy stop with this crazy hysteria till the WM7 is out and we can test it by ourselfs.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] leeuwtjevanjuda:
Indeed, There is now way you know if WP7 is great or not so great. The OS is not tested by anyone, only a prebuild seen at a conference more than a half year before release. There is nothing known about how open the platform is, what kind of multitask it has, etc, etc.

More than half of the treads here are from people who are bashing WP7, without knowing what it will be at the end. People who are bashing the HD2 because it wont have an official update, and so on. :')

We will know much more at MIX, and you can decide for yourself if it's nice, when there are rom's here at xda. (they will after all, also for the HD2)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ramdroid77:
You can't stop people from spectaculating what the new OS will be or not. But I agree it's ridiculous to open new threads like "do you prefer WM 6.5 or WP7" when noone never had the chance to use it before. I also don't feel very comfortable with the things I've seen so far but it's even more ridiculous to write things along the line "WP7 sucks I switch to Android" because at this point noone knows what the OS will really be in the end.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hyellow:
If HTC would come out the closet already and say HD2 won't be getting an update, officially, they could actualy save energy on this planet. People would not complaint and whine about it anymore and move on.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ramdroid77:
still no reason to overact on it. You buy a phone if you need it now. If you buy a phone that's meant to run a OS that currently doesn't even exist then it's actually your own fault, not HTC's or Microsoft's.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] leeuwtjevanjuda:
Why do they have to say that? Will they have to say there will be no iphone os, android or palmos update? When you buy your pc do they have to say it wont have an update to Windows 8? (juli 2011)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stopa46:
Hi I'm new in here so sorry for ALL mistakes I have a blackstone with stock norwegian rom. Honestly I'm very sattisfied with it BUT is it posible to replace it with the the same stock wwe rom without hard flashing my device ? I just want to have english language in my HD without installing any shells or something like that. THNX
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aliff:
Answer is NO. If you want change language in the ROMs, best way is to flash your device.

But, there is also another way, which really complicated. Basically, you should dump exactly the same ROM, but with different language. And then replace nearly all files in the ROM.

I have never tried that, but some guys on other forums did (by using .cab files). I don't recommend this way.

If you want to keep stock spl, all you need is USPL.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stopa46:
that's what I've tought. And this idea with changing files in Rom, well honestly is to complicated for me :) THNX for answer. Now I have to find stabil ROM with wm6.1 and manila 2.1

[Touch2 ROM Development] mirost1:

[Touch2 ROM Development] vesipyks:
Thank you for your answer.

I meant sense 2.5.
[Touch2 ROM Development] secosan:
But maybe we will see the new manilla, from the Dopod.
[Touch2 ROM Development] zvoner5:
Do you happen to know how that one is different from the current version? I like using touchflo and I've been paying attention to the 2.5 discussions that took place here because I find that version really useful. I would like to have something similar, not so much for the animations(I think that's why that version requires 3d accelerator), but for the shortcuts on the home tab that appear after you flick the watch. I also like the calendar tab. And I think those features could be somehow ported to the mega existing manilla because it seems only logical to me that they don't need aditional graphical processing power. What do you think?

The camera on the Tilt2 is a good one so I do not think the poor performance of this app is due to the hardware.....I'm leaning towards the software's use of the hardware....

but whattaya expect for free, right??

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] uty2k:
Solution to getting it to use the HTC TP2/TILT 2 camera PERFECTLY:

Do NOT select HTC TOUCH PRO 2 as the device. Select TOUCH HD 2 as the device.

Instead of just showing the out of focus/ugly camera view that you had when the TP2 selected, you'll get a screen that says "Click here to start scanning. (Then shoot the barcode by placing it in the middle of the screen.)"

Once you do that the TP2/TILT2 camera software takes over. Get it focused and take the picture like normal (only in portrait mode though). It immediately grabbed the bar code and returned results.

If you selected TP2 and checked "remember this device" the only way I found to un-remember is to uninstall and reinstall. I didn't check the remember box and tried TP2, TP, HD and HD2 and the HD2 was the winner :)

I was searching for a good bar code reader and tried them all. None of the worked for me. I finally came accross quickmark and it works great. You can set it to go to any website you want. I wasnt sure how to put the correct address where it would actually put what it read into a google search. I emailed them and they responded with the correct way to set a url. It was a long process getting signed up and costs $10 but it really works so it was worth it. I have it set for google products and amazon, but you can do what you want. You have to pay in i think tawineese dollars so i was a little skeptical but they seem like a legit company out of taiwan and responded to all my emails within two days. They have the download on several sites but i would recomend going to thier site directly because it device specific. Google it but i think the site was www.quickmark.com.tw. Let me know if that helps. Im glad i can finally help someone here after all the help i have received.
