I suppose you think wal mart RCA cables and Monster cables sound the same too right ? You actually have to get them off the best buy display case before you can properly judge them . The bass isn't even boosted. The solos are. The better quality cables ensures the bass travels better and doesn't suffer signal loss ... and if you don't believe in that..you don't believe in science . Or you just have a beef. They are not about bass at all . That's what people assume about them .

And as far as freq response goes ... Walmart speakers have the "same" freq response as my Energy and Infinity home stereo .. they are just numbers that can be made to say whatever really . Kinda like contrast ratios on tvs. A Westinghouse can have a 2000000000:1 contrast ratio and still look like ass when compared to a a good TV.

In the end ... haters hate haha . Not upset with anyone. Sorry OP for the thread going the entire wrong direction.
[Fascinate Accessories] s44:
you've just lost all credibility
[Fascinate Accessories] lucas.scott:
Because I said RCA? Haha

Yes , you're correct ... I have no knowledge of audio equipment whatsoever.. I was trolling... come on man. Its literally what I do for a living ... I love this forum which is why I post here. But in the end , my "credibility" as an audio engineer is not going to affected by a mobile device forums opinion on the Monster Beats headphones haha. Like was said before . Its opinion really .

A decent pair for under $70 would be the Sony MDR-V6's http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=IHiHTcTqM8qWtwfe7-TMBA&ved=0CD8Q8wIwAg# I have set of these that I still use from time to time even though I have several more 'high end' pairs (Sennheiser / Audio Technica). The Sony's have a good sound and fit nice on my ears/head. Definately worth the money.
[Fascinate Accessories] lucas.scott:
The mdr-v6s are great. The noise isolation is great. My only problem is I have had several pair and the right channel always dies. Had a buddy that's a dj and the same thing happened. Could be a fluke though. I still have a set now that I have used for a couple years with no problems at all.
[Fascinate Accessories] khanable:
Sorry, but this

LOL at the higher quality cables carrying the bass signal better

that is comedy gold
[Fascinate Accessories] lucas.scott:
ugh .... you guys gotta let this go ... before my current job i spent almost 5 years selling Monster cable .. Yes perhaps that makes me biased . But please refer to the section about time-correct windings :

thats only part of what makes a good cable ... please read up on the rest of that as well . it will help you undoubtedly .

you can laugh all you want .. but in the real world , you get what you pay for .. which is why you own a Samsung Fascinate and not some Tracfone haha . Whether anyone wants to believe it . QUALITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE . Im honestly blown away by how few people here realize this .

Please .. try and keep this thread on topic . If you would like to call me out on my credentials .... please do haha . Just do it in another thread and keep this one on topic .

let it go guys .

OP, did you ever get yourself a set of headphones?
[Fascinate Accessories] FDro:
Dont take advice from someone who tells you anything monster sells is good.

If you can stretch your dollar a bit you can get these:

http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50S-Studio-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000ULAP4U

They are superb headphones for the money.
[Fascinate Accessories] 420fan:
So Monster isn't good? I have monster speaker cable, monster video cables and monster Digi cables, and I have to tell ya, Monster IS good. But like lucas said, its all opinion. Headphones are something that only a user can tell you if he/she likes it. A lot of people don't have the same ear and don't need to spend extra money. I was in the electonics industry for over 20 years, and like lucas said, you get what you pay for. My Monster power center also saved me from buying all my electronics again when I was hit with lightning 2 years ago.

[Legend General] jabbado:
Not sure if this is just a CM7 (#21 nightly) problem but I have the wifi sleep policy set to "when screen turns off". And yet it never seems to sleep. Does this happen for everyone?

EDIT: If this is due to some rogue app keeping the wifi alive, how do I go about tracking it down? I take it there would be a log somewhere?
[Legend General] jabbado:
Ahh, that policy still has a time out of 15 minutes or so after the screen turns off. Is there any way of changing this delay?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofia-captivate:
hi guys im running firebird rom and my battery life sucks really bad. i take it out of charge at 10am and it dies around 4.30pm so does kernel makes battery life bad?

my kernel says : 2.6.32.9 hardcore@speedmod-i897-k13c-500hz #28

please share
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Depends. Some kernels are overclocked and will use more battery. Some are poorly put together and will use more battery. Some may not work well with one ROM, but great with another. Not knowing what you do with your phone it is hard to point a finger at the kernel. Poor reception, lots of wifi on time, lots of screen on time, GPS use, push e-mail...lots of things take battery. You need to see what it is you're using and whether that and not the kernel is your issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
Short answer is yes, kernel affects the battery. All you can do is try a few different ones and see which is best for your usage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofia-captivate:
im on messenger services and about 40-50 text and 3 mins of calls and my 3g on and brightness all the way down. no gps no bluetooth or wifi. i use the phone pretty much straight from 10am with maybe 2 mins here and there screen off
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Well, what more do you want? With that kind of usage I doubt you can do much better with any ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
that kinda sux but if the screen is really on that much it is normal, i dont think any rom has been tested to surpass 6 hours screen on time.

one good rom was andromda with which i had a hard time running my battery down in a single day, usually went 2 without a problem and i do a lot of texting. also an old version of perception built off a bell vibrant i9000m rom was outstanding.

kernels affect battery life but clock speed on the cpu has less to do with it than many people think, the assumption is faster cpu speeds means more power drawn but the cpu is governed, the governor setting have a lot to do with it. think about it, is it better for the cpu to take 4 seconds on an operation @ 600mhz or do the same operation in 2 seconds @1.2ghz? depends on alot of things reallly but thew difference is alot smaller than people expect. there is also kernelhz which i dont know much about but reportedly if set down to 100 to match another frequency(cant remember off the top of my head) will increase battery life.

the kernel controls many aspects of the system but i haven't seen a kernel that has had a huge increase in battery life given the same rom since the 2.1 days. and even then the battery life wasnt as good as a couple of the 2.2 roms. it seems to me that the rom has more to do with battery life. some vibrant ports have severe battery drain issues on the captivate. some i9000 ports have amazing batery life but most are about the same as stock to slightly better.

if battery life is a problem first you want to see if any processes keep the phone from sleeping. figure out what apps show in the running process list and try killing them, if they don't die/they start back up then freeze them in titanium backup and see if anything makes a difference. careful freezing system processes, some are not detrimental, most are.

other tips are to try apps that manage 3g like juice defender. and use wifi when you can 3g is a bigger battery hog than wifi. also there may be a way to set the phone to default to edge instead of 3g but i think it varies with the build of the rom, you will have to research that one.

other things to look at is weather you sync to google, facebook, twitter ect. those feeds widgets can eat battery as well as the sync process. weather widgets like beautiful widgets seem to have an effect on some of the vibrant ports i used but not as noticable on other roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickelnoodensoup:
Yikes...that is some awful battery life. I'm surprised because speedmod (and it's variants) is pretty well accepted as being the best kernel for battery life. There are many threads around here for improving battery life. I have personally found that my biggest battery user was constantly checking how much battery I had used.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
If you are barely turning your screen off that is good battery life. You will never make it much past 5hrs screen time. Where people get like 40hrs on a charge is when the phone its not actually used, and their set up has good standby performance

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietherope:
As some have said screen time is the single biggest battery user. My phone will last for about 3 hours of screen on time. So I could have my phone die in 3 hours, or 2 days, it all depends on how often I'm turning that screen on.

Nice ryude.Mine's not as good,but close.So it just proved to me that when ppl say they got 3 days out of a single charge,they're actually not using their phone all.I'm not trying to flame anyone,just my honest opinion.I bought my phone so I can use it,not leave it on a desk.Here's mine.

Forgot:Running Phoenix Ultimate..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
Yeah, I would say if you're not getting at least 3 hours screen time then you aren't using your phone that much.

sent from my Aria CM7
[HTC Aria General] zedbra:
im sure you could remove phone options, but it will most likely create unstable results.

IMO, its not worth the effort anyway. if you like, use ADW launcher to customize the entire desktop. this way you can remove the phone icon and set the shortcuts to all your music apps:)
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
Funny you should ask cause just last night I removed the phone.API to mess with it and forgot to put it back. The only effect I saw was when I went to make a call with dialer one it just brought up s black screen. That's the only way I even remembered it was missing. So as far as I could tell that was the only thing wrong. I'd say you'd be fine based on that.

Aria phones are considered as one of the most user friendly phone system on the market.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000N (Latin Version) stuck with P1000NUBJM2 Version 2.2 which haves a protected bootloader!! It just won't boot to apply a patch to the bootloader and the problem is giving me the DBDATA can't mount error!! That firmware file just won't rewrite dbdata.

Is there anyway of repairing the dbdata so I can boot up the P1000N?

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECU-Colombia:
Solution to dbdata problem

Flash the attached file using odin.

1) unzip it,

2) Open Odin

3) put your SGT on dowload mode and conect it

4) select the .tar file on PDA, dont use .pit file and then flash it with Odin,

It worked for me, tell me if it works for you.

I also noticed I'm getting the color screens almost every flash attemp with odin. Not bricked, just crashed. But have you ask figured out what exactly causes those crashes? Is out really the usb cable?
[Epic 4G General] swedishcancerboi:
Well....at firat a bad usb cable prevented the pc from detecting the phone. It would charge. But no data. I got the green screen a couple of times when flashing from Odin that resided on a thumb drive (along with the rom). I then moved everyting to local C: and it flashed fine afterwards. Don't know if it was a coincidence or a problem with using flash drives. This was from a Dell Precision Workstation with XP Pro.

first it was the spotty 3G, now EDGE... Dam you At&t
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You must be talking about 3G on another device cause I know you are not getting 3G on the AT&T network using your HD2, that is unless you have the Austrialian model of the HD2.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
oh, sorry, lol im talking in general At&t's network :P

but once i went into roaming, and i had 3G lol
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
If AT&T removed EDGE off their network that would leave GSM, 3G, and HSPA+... Or isn't EDGE and upgraded GSM... So it would leave just 3G and HSPA+
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
they cant get rid off EDGE or GSM,

1) GSM is their network removing it would leave the option of CDMA

2) EDGE will be there as long as there is 3G available.
[HD2 General] chevyboy33:
That's right, edge is just faster gprs. Both are part of the GSM type network.

You are probably just getting spotty service during the upgrade. Once they are done in your area you should be back to normal.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
well it seems my area will be gettinng 4G lol. cuz my service sucks $#%& at the moment.

i even called AT&T, *****ed them out too... HAHA got my self a new sim card. but im still sending the phone in for repair.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
okay guys, MAJOR NEWS! T-Mobile US now belongs to AT&T.

does that mean that with in a year or so, our unlocked HD2 will be picking up AT&T 3G or HSPA+ since the T-Mobile spectrum now belongs to AT&T??
[HD2 General] trueblood:
AT&T does not own T mobile yet, they have put in an offer but it has ti be reviewed and approved by the SEC. To make sure that AT&T will not become a monopoly, because with this buy AT&T will leap over Verizon for the largest network by far.
[HD2 General] Optimus-Prime:
isnt att the biggest network atm. customer wise? and besides it will get approved for the reason that the FCC is huge on getting 4G going. att will hhave the biggest for 4G network.

well at least thats what i think is going to happen.
[HD2 General] lantern20:
My question about the whole AT&T/T-Mobile deal is, I'm using a couple of T-Mobile HD2s unlocked on AT&T :o. When/If the deal goes through, will AT&T know I'm using T-Mobile HD2s and upgrade my data plan from the cheap medianet plan to the smartphone plan? My bill is going to skyrocket! :eek::eek::eek:
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
T-Mobile is still going to operate as a separate entity for a long while. So I don't think you need worry - I think the TMO HD2s will continue to work on EDGE with the AT&T network. The question is if they will share towers (meaning that your phone would have G3), but even then you would have to register your APN for the T-Mobile network, which won't work with an AT&T SIM Card.
