[AUDIO] How To Correct Samsungs terrible hardware EQ settings

Hi,
As with the SGS Samsung has crippled the audio quality for playback by setting really bad EQ settings. However, this can be corrected by changing them in servicemode app, but this has to be done on every boot since they are resetted.
thanx go to Supercurio for the SGS version of this.
So here is the howto:
Code:
go to ServiceMode by entering [SIZE=2]*#*#197328640#*#* like a telephone number.[/SIZE] or through SGS Tools
select
[5]Audio
[2]Headset
[1]TX value
[3]Tx Filter
there you find
[1]Filter 1: {some value}
to
[7]Filter 7: {some value}
change each of them to 0 by selecting then press menu key and choose key input.
you should end up with
[1]Filter 1: 0x0
[2]Filter 2: 0x0
[3]Filter 3: 0x0
[4]Filter 4: 0x0
[5]Filter 5: 0x0
[6]Filter 6: 0x0
[7]Filter 7: 0x0

now play some music over your headphones and enjoy best undestorted audio quality...
this is just a temporary solution because of resetted values on reboot, but for now i think it is a starting point for others to develop this further...
just found out that unlike the SGS on sg3 this settings survive a reboot, so it has too be done only once...
edit: to raise the overall volume a bit i entered 2da8 in all filters!!

if you are on a custom rom that has no serviceModeApp.apk the numbers in dialepad disapear and nothing else happens, if so take serviceModeApp.apk from here and push it to /system/app/
known limitations:
does not work on ddjp2 (Audio Menu blocked)
does not work on jpq/s (Audio Menu blocked)

not needed with custom kernels featuring Voodoo Sound!

Done:-
Edit:works gr8 now

Tried with some music with deep bass, almost no distortion at full volume. Before the fix it was impossible to listen to because of the cracking noises, so it's not just placebo

Hope this is implemented in roms

Oh yeah! Now it sounds like a stereo headset !
I don't lose the values even after a reboot.. They are still all zeros

Is it working with the speakers too ? Because they sound a bit strange too.

you can try, just choose speaker instead of headset, but i think you wont realize to much of a difference, since the speaker is not realy a good one anyways...

its not working on my phone.
after dialing these no. it gets deleted by itself and nothing happens.
I have tried it using sgs tools also.

i know about DSPManager, but it is part of CyanogenMod, and i am pretty sure it needs a big afford to implement, and i am not capable of doing that.

Prox: Control your phone without touching it

Hello xda members! I have just created an app called Prox that enables you to do certain actions based on swipes across the proximity sensor of your phone. There are loadouts and actions that you can set yourself. Things you can currently do with Prox:
*Launch application
*Expand notification bar
*Emulate home button
*Send a Toast
*Toggle ringer mode (ring, vibrate, silent)
Many more actions are planned for later versions of Prox!
I am a very active developer and will be updating this as much as possible. I already have a pretty awesome update schedule with a lot of new features in mind so be on the lookout here and in the market.
Because this is kinda hard to explain, I have made a YouTube video of it in action (forgive my video editing skills )
And, here is the market link if you so choose to download:
Download
Please let me know what else you would like to see in future versions of this awesome concept
EDIT:
I have decided to do a very lightweight version of the app as a free version for those of you who are wary to buy an app not knowing what it does. I plan on having it here and in the market within the week. This app will be a one time build only and won't even scratch the surface of what Prox can really do. But, it will give you a feeling of how it might work with a lot of options.
Prox Lite
I have already finished the Lite version of the app. It's already up in the Android market and you can get it here:
Download
This is a VERY limited demo version of the app and it gives you an idea of what it feels like to control your phone without touching it. Prox Lite has only 2 gestures: Flat to launch the home activity, and toward to expand and contract the notification panel. There are 5 actions in Prox Pro and there are also Loadouts than the user can customize. You can't customize anything in the Lite version and you have no control over global settings. It may seem rather limited, but it does give you an idea of what launching an app might feel like.
The Lite version will probably never be updated (I might if I get more actions that I am willing to give up). I have a lot of things in the works for Prox Pro so if you like the feeling of controlling your phone with the force (haha) then go ahead and pick up the pro version and get a lot of cool updates

This seems really fun. I personally don't have much use for it, but it is a very neat idea and looks like you've done a good job with it so far.
Here are the URLs for people who'd rather click than copy/paste:

The only problem with a free version is that this app is designed to be invisible. Once you set up your loadouts, then coming back into the app would be completely unnecessary because you can do everything related to Prox while you aren't in the app.
I might release a trial version or something to get more people looking at it though

Yea a trial version with 1-2 options/settings would be great.

I should have thought of this while developing the app. I'll probably have to start from scratch and do a lot of copy paste type stuff to get the trial one out.
I think that's probably the best thing to do because a lot of people are wary of paying for an app from a developer they don't really know. Or an app they have never heard of...

This sounds really cool. Have you considered submitting it to the Amazon Appstore?

Can't reply to replies with links in them yet. So @Nooter, what is the difference in selling them in either store? Are there pros and cons to each one. I just don't see the point in listing it in 2 places when all android phone owners already have the market downloaded.

will the toggle ringer mode silence the phone while its ringing?
You should make one for reject/silence call. I'd love that one paired w/ flat while its on my desk at work.
If it rings I can just wave over it to silence/reject with minimal effort

Toggle ringer mode just sets it to ring, vibrate, and silent for your ringtones and notifications...
That is an interesting idea. The only reason something like that won't work is because if the phone is in your pocket, the proximity sensor already detects something blocking it. I can enable this setting, but if you have it enabled and the phone is in your pocket, then it will always silence it...
Plus, Prox is disabled for incoming calls to let android take care of turning off the screen. You don't want to be launching apps and such while talking on your phone

oh also, hows the effect on battery life with this running the sensor all the time?

maybe add a 'time-out' setting for account for pocketing? Aka if the proximity sensor is trigger for a user defined period, 15 sec, 30 sec, etc which would occcur when inside a pocket prox turns off gestures until the sensor is uncovered again for 30+ seconds. that would solve the pocket silence problem No idea if any of that is possible, its just what I'm thinking id use lol.

That would deal with wake locks, which would seriously take a big chunk out of your battery. Currently, Prox only uses around a single percent of battery for a whole day of usage. I want to keep it that way

I would love to try this out, but 15 minutes with it is just not long enough.
Please soon as you release a Trial version rename title at the end "NEW TRIAL VERSION AVAILABLE"
I don't want to pay for something that i may never use again.

[Q] What's the latest version of Sound Enhancer?

Can anyone tell me what's the latest version of HTC's sound enhancer? I'm trying to get it working on a Samsung Focus S. It's dev unlocked and I'm able to load xaps, but when I open it most of the options are grayed out and I can't save any settings I apply. Thanks.

Hook it up to an external source or earphones, then choose Equalizer, you should now be able to tap on the selection bar and choose which per-set you want; simply exit and it will save. If you unplug your head phones or AUX source it will go back to grey (default).

I tried, but nadda. Multiple headphones and speakers, all the same thing. No change in sound (dolby and srs are the only options). Even if I change something, exit the app and then reopen it, it's back to no effects.

That sucks, I wonder if it's a dll or driver issue.

I read this just today, looks like it was pulled because it was crashing HD7 phones and it sounds like a new one should be out as soon as HTC can fix it.

Wow this is what I mean when I say that Windows Phone sucks compared to Windows Mobile, the lack of functionality. Look at the picture below remember this?

I posed this as a separate thread but no one seems to have any intrest. I have Sound Enhancer on my Trophy and it does the job but it lacks the ability to let one ajust their sounds, it just has presets and we should have more opptions. Maybe if someone posts this to a mod or something it would gain intrest, who knows how long it's going to take HTC to fix this.

Thanks for helping bring light to this sinister. I'm sad to report that I'm going back to my 4S for the time being. I've been carrying it around with me since I got the Focus to use as an mp3 player...and as fun as WP7 is to use, multiple devices makes absolutely no sense to me.

My phone is also a Trophy.
No one is mentioning that Sound Enhancer doesn't work with Bluetooth headsets either.

That's because Bluetooth on WP7 is a joke, You can't do anything worth while or useful with it except use your ear piece for phone calls.

Did you play a message back? NOT the test msg. That works fine.
I used the same apk... and the same build.
I was able to install and see my vmails, but not play them.

Yes, I see what you mean. Did some debugging and it's a problem with how VVM is interfacing with the android media player to playback the message. Throws and exception on prepare();
Interestingly, if you menu -> export to file (in /emmc/Music/voicemail-...) and then play it in Apollo it works just fine.
Digging a little deeper, might take some time...

Just curious, what exactly were the steps for this? I downloaded GV, went through the set up. I called myself and left a voicemail. I got my normal voicemail notification then some minutes later received GV notification but, when I went to play it it shot me an error. The transcription doesn't appear to work (i.e. didn't even show up in the GV inbox)...any suggestions? I am running AOKP, not CM9...
Okay, went onto google.com/voice and went to activate voicemail...calling the number provided (*004*1XXXXXXXXXX#) after doing some other settings with my GV number, it appears to have worked...need to test and will write back if it does work...
Edit2: Okay, appears to be working. My only gripe is that when I receive a voicemail, it gives me the voicemail notification but with the phone number that called. When I click it, it opens up the contacts app with a play button and the such. Upon clicking the play button, it errors out...oh well. If anyone else needs to know steps for setting up GV, I can help...just let me know.

GV app has an option to switch your voice mail to GV, but it usually fails setting the forwarding numbers.
Easiest way to set it up is to go into dialer settings and set the voice mail number for "my carrier" and the three conditional forwarding numbers to your GV number. That way pressing 1 on dialer dials Google vm and calls roll to Google vm if unanswered.

Which is why I would rather use vvm. Even if it takes an extra step
I'm a flashoholic and don't want to have to mess with it every time.
Somehow, someway I WILL figure this out. Or not, lol.

Was definitely a lot of work initially but now that I know what to do...should be quicker...but definitely annoying in the long run, not gonna lie...i do like the fact that GV has the transcribe option whereas you have to pay for that from AT&T...

You don't have to mess with it after every flash, forwarding numbers are stored in the network and vm access number is stored on the SIM card. GV app is in data/app so rom flash won't touch it.

Better volume control needed on Android

I often listen to music on my Nexus 7 using Spotify.
At the same time I enjoy playing certain games, which inevitably have sound on them.
A lot of the time the sound on the game overpowers my music, and so when I go to turn the volume down, it turns down everything, including my music, so the game still overpowers the music.
When turning down the volume, and pressing the settings button that appears next to the volume bar (that displays the volume of media, notifications, ringer, etc.) it would be useful if the apps currently displaying sound would appear so you can change the volume of individual apps. So I could turn down the volume of my game however leave Spotify at full volume.
(Pretty sure this isn't possible right now?)
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

So what you're saying is you want to change volumes of individual apps, through the Android system.
Bro, my Windows computer can do that, and I don't think my Mac can (correct me if I'm wrong). It can probably be done, but I don't think it would be easy to manage an interface for the volume of every app. When you go into settings-sound-volumes, it currently gives you all the adjustable sounds. Now imagine having a slider for EVERY app. It could amount to hundreds of different sliders!
Anyhow, it's up to the app developers to add a setting for volume of the game. Most do, just look around for it
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

Basically, I'll explain with screenshots.
So when you change the volume, you click the settings button to the right of it.

}
Then the screen comes up with all the volume sliders.
In addition to what is already there, the apps CURRENTLY playing sound on the device (for example, temple run and spotify) would also appear and you could drag their individual sliders.
Make sense? Very much like the windows volume mixer

This would take the app developers changing how the volume is controled as well as Android adding the ability in. I really dont see this happening as most developers want everything built into the app so it is compatible with more android versions.

The app developer shouldn't need to do anything, the system should be able to control the volume of each app, as this would be a new Android feature, and doesn't need anything in the apps themselves updated.
Like the Windows Volume Mixer, apps don't need to change anything to work with it, Windows controls them itself.

The app developer shouldn't need to do anything, the system should be able to control the volume of each app, as this would be a new Android feature, and doesn't need anything in the apps themselves updated.

This is not windows. Linux is a whole another story. The way the OS is made The app developers will need to hook into an options for the system to control the volume. It is a security feature built into linux to prevent apps or the system from interfering.

Aww dang there go my hopes haha

He is not looking for that. He is looking to control them independently from the system sounds menu. This is not an option in android at the moment.

Sorry for bringing back to life this old topic but I was wondering if there is no new hack allowing this per apps volume control.
