[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
We have a review that has finally comprehensively and scientifically tested the audio quality of the 3.5mm jack http://www.gsmarena.com/google_nexus_one-review-457p6.php

Can anyone comment on the quality of audio streamed through bluetooth? It would seem that the car dock will leave us relying on bluetooth for easy music, but audio quality is a big deal to me. Does anyone know what to expect in regards to serious audio quality through the bluetooth on the nexus one?

Will it still dip/lack in bass? Will it be essentially lossless? Very compressed sounding? Does anyone with a good audio system/ear for audio use the bluetooth output and have something to say about it?

Any comments appreciated :)
[Nexus One General] attn1:
Well I stream audio to my Pioneer head unit. It's reasonable quality, but don't even think about comparing it to the CD deck. It's very good for what it is designed for - streaming low bandwidth MP3s to noisy car environments where not having the highest quality sound is a little less important than in your living room.

I haven't noticed big dips in bass compared to other inputs, but I don't know what you mean by lossless. If you are asking is fidelity is lost, of course it is, but I don't think there's really any difference when playing back the highly compressed MP3s that I make. Crappy old recordings stuffed onto CD still sounds far worse than a CD compressed to MP3 and played via blue tooth.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
Youre not going to tell the difference between CD audio and 320KBPS mp3 on most songs. Period.

But the nexus one headphone jack definitely outputs less bass than is appropriate. The iPod classic is nearly perfect in frequency response, and the N1 puts out noticeably less bass for me than my iPod. I suspected this right when I bought it, and this graph came along a bit later and proved it:

Are you telling me that you haven't tried any reasonable quality MP3s on your car? Also, I promise you, some of us have stereos in our cars that rival most living rooms, especially those equipped with "home theater in a box".

Are you saying the bluetooth audio is worse than the headphone jack?
[Nexus One General] jacka$$1:
I'm using an Anycom BT stereo headset (streaming Pandora, DroidLite, and iHeartRadio). Fidelity doesn't compare to high quality wired ear buds, but it's far from inferior (I'd say it's 95% there). Regarding in-car, your eq can more than make up for the lack of fidelity. I'm not disappointed with N1's a2dp streaming at all. Streams are continuous. I've never experienced a single hiccup, unless you're more than 20 feet away, and sync picks up immediately where it left off after receiving a phone call.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
I'm saying I was surprised at how good the bluetooth playback was through my head unit - for bluetooth.

My car stereo is nothing special, but I can tell the difference between my mp3s and my cds if I listen carefully in my driveway. The Mp3s generally sound fine, with reasonable quality, but they are generally not 320kps mp3s.

Consider this: the headphone jack is playing music that has been converted to analog, and run through the amplifier on the N1 for output to the jack and playback on headphones or speakers.

With Bluetooth, the digital information is not converted to analog for playback. Instead, it is compressed (because sbc compression is what a2dp does), then transferred digitally to another playback device. There, where it is received, the information is decrypted and amplifiled and sent to a headphone or speakers. So the Nexus One amplifier that has produces the "weak bottom end" does not come into play, since it is never employed.

When it's done, I think the bluetooth playback is okay, not great, and not awful like some like to characterize it. Real audiophiles are not going to like it, but for the masses it will probably do just fine at reasonable listening levels. A2DP employs SBC compression, which isn't the best. Since I generally use mp3s that are compressed too much to begin with by audiophile standards (128kps) I am not going to notice the impact of SBC compression as much as someone using 320kps compression. The purpose of SBC compression is to make the information fit onto the bluetooth stream. If you're starting with more data to begin with, you're going to experience more loss of quality with a2dp. After reading what a2dp/sbc does, I think after a certain point, you are going to pay a heavy penalty for using high bandwidth audio files, because SBC compression is just going to maul it to make it stream. For a2dp purposes, I think I actually benefit by choosing better compression to begin with - when I rip my MP3s to 128kps. This way, I am impacted far less later on when SBC compression does it's thing - which by all accounts is a much worse method of compression. I may try a rip of the same song using various compressions and compare at some point to prove this out.

I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but I hope it helps.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
Hmmm. Thanks very much for the information.

Getting bluetooth in my car would require a rather expensive addon to my stereo. I guess what I will do is pair with my laptop and run audio out from that. That should be a worst possible scenario for sound quality :)
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
It depends on the quality of the transmitter as well..I have a bluetooth adapter (one with a 3.5 jack)) and it sound pretty darn good when paired to my N1.

For whatever reason it doesnt sound as good and suffers from far more breakups and skips when streaming from my PC.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
Ok, so I did my test and I'm a little disappointed. The frequency response is fine, but the A2DP seems to add some background hiss. What I did is pair the phone with my laptop and hook my laptop up with 3.5mm, then play the same song and hit pause on both to change sources.

MAYBE the hiss was coming from the PC bluetooth receiver but I really doubt it. Sound was very clear when played through the PC (Winamp) and had background hiss whenever anything was playing on the phone.

Not a big deal if you only listen to loud music, kind of annoying if you listen to anything soft.

So yeah, there it is. The bluetooth audio is definitively worse than the 3.5mm, in my opinion. It's still pretty good though, and most people probably won't notice the difference. I'm just not sure its worth the $100 bluetooth receiver to me.
[HD2 General] Stephen Selby:
I had the problem that I could automatically download messages without a problem; but if I replied, I got a 'system administrator 'Message Not Sent' warning. The error code is 553 and it refers to a blacklisting of my phone's IP address by Spamhaus.

Needless to say, I have never had my mobile phone taken over by a spam botnet or used it for spam emails.

After going on to Spamhaus and following their instructions on how to get my IP address de-listed, the problem has gone away and I can both send and receive emails.

Wierd.:confused:
[HD2 General] Spike15:
This is because your phone is very likely in a dynamic IP address range.

I don't know why Spamhaus would have unblacklisted you -- they shouldn't have.

Good thing my mail servers use more than just Spamhaus...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yes they should, you can be removed from any blacklist.

If you couldn't be removed, in 5 years from now every IP address range on the planet would be blacklisted.
[HD2 General] Stephen Selby:
Yeah. They blacklisted be again within 24 hours. :rolleyes:

I have just installed the newest Android Cab for tp2. I know with the new cab, the Mic should be working but I have tried to play with the options and find no solution. Is there something I must do in WM to make it work? right now I'm running Wm 6.5 with newest Deep-Shining inteface.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] minhthn:
I found the solution! did and update in program menu before open android. After that it worked!

HTC raphel incall mic not working

tried XDAndroid 2.1 (rel 2.5a) And Android 2.2 (FroYo) - but still in call mic not working. But while I switch back to windows it is working just fine !! :confused: If anybody could help ?!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Did you mess with your startup.txt or COMPLETELY stock?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hnstmaruf:
I tried XDAndroid 2.2 (rel 1.6).cab & XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.3.9.10.RC.2.2.system.7z

-- Android 2.2 (FroYo)

And installed stock rom. I swear did nothing to startup.txt it is COMPLETELY stock :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I've been hearing (er seeing...) around here and PPCG that if you create a call in WinMo then boot Android, the mic then works in ALL apps.

So call your voicemail, and go launch haret WHILE the phone call is still active. Let us know how that works for ya.

You also may want to try the rar build, and update it with a new zImage/rootfs. I don't have an issue with the mic in-calls, but it only works in other apps when I do the call first trick.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hnstmaruf:
Thanks mate !! its now working:)

In the instructions from this article:

http:***//droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=70

it is said that mounting the /system partition from recvovery is possible but I don't find find any option for that... So, is it a mistake or is there really an option to do it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerbarton:
using a computer with adb set up, connect to usb and on computer, in command prompt, type:

adb shell mount -a

(should mount /system rw. Just did it and it did for mine)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaJu:
It is possible in AmonRa's recovery. Go to console and type "mount /system" without the quotes. This can also be for "mount /sdcard" "mount /system/sd" and any partition in fstab.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerbarton:
Hello... not on a nexus one.

A) No console on nexus recovery because

B) It has no physical keyboard.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaJu:
Oh ****... I thought I was in the Dream forum. My bad!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venezia64:
So I guess it was just a mistake in the article and that only ADB mount will do the trick. Thanks guys
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kdaniels1986:
hello all, been lurking a while here, first post.

i like my titan, but i do not like the side right scroll bars on it. I have looked around a lot, but not seen what im looking for.

can anyone point me toward a fully sliding touch interface? something in the way opera works, where you just touch and slide to scroll menu's, and such?

I have tried the android interface through the sd card mmod that was posted, and i like it, but its way too buggy for me. the internet is slow, and i can not connect to google to register my e-mail and such. starting to drive me nuts looking for something that looks slick, and works well.

thanks in advance,

-KD.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kdaniels1986:
no one can help??

thats not a problem. im using (nerdrockit<dot>com/?page_id=10) the ion android verson, i found it to be better than the one posted here on the forrums. still cant get a few things to work though. oh well, ill settle. thanks anyways guys.
[Shift General] ywilson:
Help needed.

I have been leaving my Shift in the drawers for sometime. Today, I took it out and charged the battery.

It boot up sucessfully after a full charge but went into sleep mode when I was loggin in. The it refused to boot up from then on.

The green light on both the "start" and "battery" light is on but that is all about it. No activity on the screen or the harddisk.

I tried the "F3" button as well but nothing happens.

I need help please! Was thinking of upgrading it to Windows 7.

Thanks.
[Shift General] wovens:
So, you don't get any action on either WM or Windows side?
[Shift General] ywilson:
Hi wovens,

thanks for helping...finally.

I mange to get into the WM side but not on the Windows side.

Many thanks!
[Shift General] ESKO81:
Just a suggestion, I am no expert did you power cycle it?
[Shift General] ywilson:
Sorry, I dont understand what "Power Cycle it"?

How does it work?
[Shift General] Flanimal:
Disconnect any external power.

Shutdown windows.

Take the battery out.

Wait a minute or two.

Put the battery back in.

Power on.
[Shift General] ywilson:
I tried that as well but nothing happens. Only the Wm side is still working but the Vista side is totally silent.
[Shift General] Flanimal:
After the battery has been removed, the WM side is off until the power switch is moved to turn the PC side on.

So something is happening on the PC side when you turn the power on for the first time following battery removal.

Do you get the option for BIOS? Pres Del at power up so see if you can get some diagnostics. It might tell you if some hardware is not working.

If you have an external monitor you could try connecting that to see if there is anything to see on the PC side.

I'm afraid I'm no expert on this.
[Shift General] ywilson:
Thanks Flanimal. Tried all that but still nothing.

I suspect the BIOS is corruptted. Is there anyway i can get my BIOS back?
[Shift General] wovens:
You can download a bios update from HTC website (or at least I could sometime ago) but you will need to be able to boot first to update BIOS as far as I can remember.

So, let's recap, when you boot the Shift, you don't get anything on screen at all on the XP/Vista side? Not even booting options, like, press F2 to do this of F8 to do that? Nothing at all? I am at work right now and don't have my Shift with me to be able to be more clear about options.
[Shift General] Flanimal:
internal battery?

Out of curiosity, I just did a google search to try to find out if the Shift has one of those 'penny' internal batteries inside, that might need replacing over time.

I coudn't find anything to confirm or deny this, but it did leave me wondering:

A. Is there a penny battery inside the Shift that will eventually die and need the Shift to be opened up for replacement?

and

B. What would be the behaviour of the Shift on the absense of the aforementioned possible battery?
[Shift General] wovens:
Looking at the dismantling guide (HTC Shift Dismanting Guide by facedemol PDF) published in this site it does not seem to have one.
[Shift General] Flanimal:
I've been mulling this one over and it occurred to me that the Shift maintains the time and date even when the main bettery has been taken out.

I wonder how it might do this without a power source. Maybe there is a battery hidden in there somewhere...

Will TAT home ever come out? I know they have been working on it for awhile but does anyone know if they just gave up? And is it possible for developers to make something like TAT home? Or is 3D insane hard to do? I'm guessing It would take too much time and not worth it for just a cell phone considering No one has came up with one yet, but be sure to add in your comments in this... I'm really interested in something like TAT Home.

Just a real easy question regarding 2.1 roms and my Hero. Say I need to go to stock for warranty work, would I be able to use say RUU or a Nandroid backup to go back to Stock?

I can't find a easy Yes/No answer and have used RUU but need to use the workaround to recover from the 110 Error that is posted here. Really want to try 2.1 but don't want to do something irreversable to my phone in case I need it worked on.

[Hero CDMA General] jocampo86:
i also been asking this question nobody seems to give a clear answer...am on my 30 day trial with hero but just in case i decide not to keep the hero how do i go back to stock and unroot...i didnt do a nandroid after rooting just have the backuprecovery.img file...????so do we just run the ruu and thats it are phone is back to stock and unrooted????????:confused:

regaw u are wise guy from wath a read on the forum..

i seen that theres pple having error 110 trying to go back to stock am afraid i might bump into this error when i run the ruu to go back to stock i have decided to return my hero to bestbuy after 3 weeks...wath are the steps i should take to avoid these error 110????????????

i know theres a sprint hero ruu 1.56 at geekfor me from fresh is that the right one??????:confused:
[Hero CDMA General] duffkitty:
Search the forum for Error 110 and there's a thread that has a 100% fix to it, it worked for me. I would need to fastboot oem boot to get my phone back on after a 110 error but works perfectly fine now.

And always always always nandroid backup, I made sure to do it as soon as my phone was rooted and after I get things installed and set up the way I like...
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
Wiseguy?

Thank you :D

anyways, there is a way to resolve this error if you get it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654119

Doesn't mean I say go for it, just saying that if you get that error, that will most likely fix it.

and yes the 1.56 ruu is on geekfor.me
[Hero CDMA General] jocampo86:
am really having struggle wether to keep it ..tanx guys for ur help ...

am barely on the 1.5.2 i know theres a 1.6.2 but waths the difference am really afraid to mess with this it took me 2 weeks after staring at the noob guides how to root than a day later i saw a new recovery img 1.6.2 any help how to update or the benefits from updating.........
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
I would recommend it. It's a good update.
[Hero CDMA General] jocampo86:
but how dp i update do i have to root again i have downloaded the file do i just flashed it..sorry for all the dumm questions but have no idea how to update ...>>??

and no idea waths the difference between the 1.5.2 and 1.6.2

sorry:o
[Hero CDMA General] zenulator:
if you want to flash the new recovery and reverted back to the stock ruu then u have to re-root using the same method you used to root in the first place. if you already have root then just flash the 1.6.2 recovery with the same method you used to flash 1.5.2 since from what i've read you've already done that before. if this is beyond your comfort zone you might want to stop messing with roms all together.
[Hero CDMA General] 98classic:
Dude go read everything u are asking for is on here ie. Fix for ruu problem, 1.6.2 release logs..... u call regaw a wiseguy i call u a lazy guy who cant find simple information. If ure gonna reply crying just dont, man up and read or leave your phone stock.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I always nandroid back to 1.5, or flash a 1.5 ROM before I RUU

if you updated to a custom Rom, and needed to get it back to stock for warranty issues. all you'd have to do is run the proper ruu, and you'd be set

[Hero CDMA General] zenulator:
Seriously not worth the time to port it. You'll end up with virtually the same functionality as Darchstars AOSP 2.1 build. Depending on what kernel your using if you use 2.6.26 then camera and video recording aren't going to be possible and I'm afraid that if you use the leaked HTC 2.6.29 kernel your going to run into problems with the touch screen since HTC has a non standard power management implementation in that kernel that doesn't play nice with android and the touchscreen even though getevent will show screen presses from event1. Unless someone has the source for that 2.6.29 kernel so you could revert the changes. The only good that might come out of the leak is functioning mms and visual voice mail.

I'm just saying that for others just because it's a phone from sprint doesn't meant that it's magically going to work. Some people here understand and some don't. It's not impossible port it just that it's not going to be fully functional when it is ported. Your working with something built for different hardware. Sure you can swap the libs to get it going but you'll end up with something we pretty much have already in the AOSP 2.1 build.
