Yes itr has the software in the music app, but it doesnt have it on the hardware speakers... thats according to the htc website.. it's advertised in the incredible promo vid, but not the desire s
nice, but 1 question still reamains, can i use the SRS software with alternative music apps ?
I'm not 100% sure... I think only the HTC music app supports it to date

well thats a bit of a downer. but not too much i guess. i simply love having the ability for manual EQ lol. i dont understand why is it so rare on android phones, i mean my old w880 has that function, and its awesome rofl.

sure it's awesome, but it impacts on more battery drainage aswell just to change the sounds.

Sorry, don't have a link, but it is well known that audio equliser/boosters drain more battery. It says it for iOS in the settings
woooow just tried listening to songs on the desire S with headphones
first without SRS, and then SRS, it sounds so awesome!!
Guess I will have to ditch my cube music player for the htc music app then
To my ears, enabling SRS with the earphones is way too bassy. No EQ is just right. But would be nice if i can manually set the EQ. Also, i'm surprised that the earphones that came with phone is pretty damn good.

Nope, just regular earphones.
Haven't tried them yet because I also can't use anything other than in-ear headphones.
That's why i'm surprised. It's good for a regular earphones.

Hey guys, sorry for reviving old thread.
I'm about to flash custom ROM, is there any way to use SRS without default HTC player? Do custom ROMs support this technology?

Viewing the specs, it's very similar to DS.
But, its battery is non-detachable.
Is this an indirect way to recognise that removing battery may be dangerous?

Well spotted, I'd say without a doubt, the battery is also a little larger at 1600Mhz!
I do hope someday there will be a bigger battery sold by HTC for us

Are there any plans in the works for someone to Root the Rhyme? I bought one for my wife, and provided she likes it, would like to be able to Root it so I can do App restores as well as be able to back the Rhyme up properly.

My wife got one of these yesterday. Not a bad phone other than the colour, nothing special specs wise but she doesn't need anything amazing.
Comes with a really nice dock -- I wish more manufacturers would do that.
No Rhyme section I notice.

Not being able to change the battery is pretty rubbish imo, limits your options, they should just make/design phones where you can pull the battery without frying the sodding emmc!!
Well I am in the mood/ a mission to just royally mess up my phone today and luckily the portal is chock full of suggestions and mods to help me do just that.
The first I found was the GPS fix from earlier and now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523760
Beats by DRE for all Gingerbread roms.
I went through it a bit and it didnt seem like it was gonna mess with anything (mostly different files) so I went ahead and flashed it.
Everything is working fine and there doesnt seem to be any conflicts with Voodoo Sound. Does it improve the audio? I guess I am not enough of an audiofile to really know...
Just wanted to say that it seems safe to flash and throw it out as an option
Just to help people understand what Beats is (from what I know). It is more or less an audio filter that changes how the audio is processed coming from the device. It also changes the EQ curve some to accentuate the lower frequencies and then gives you a "distorted" output.
How can you tell if it installed correctly? is there any settings? Thanks.
As far as I can tell there no settings, and they are just under the hood enhancements.
Charged up post!

it may have to do with the quality of the audio card in the charge. I felt like i noticed more of a difference when I flashed this on my kindle fire than I did on my charge.

That was my whole point... A device that renders sound exceptionally well is going to benefit less from minor software tweaks than one with a ****ty card that plays poorly out of the box.
Just because someone says "build quality" doesn't mean that they mean "bad build quality".
I think Beats sounds like crap anyway. It overemphasizes the bass and muddies up the mids. It's really intended for bass heavy music and doesn't really work well for anything else, IMO.
Beats... Audiophiles? Thanks for making me laugh this morning.

Its an equalizer setting to (theoretically) make the speakers sound much better. Harmon Kardon is a high end speaker maker. It essentially does the same thing as the Beats did last year.

We can get it if we change the false setting in the default xml in the system to true BUT it don't think it will effect sound due to not having the libs for it.

They might have been, at one time (debatable). But, HK does nothing but buy other companies any more. They don't develop much of anything, themselves. The bulk of their branding is for high profit margin products like car audio and licensing of mass-consumer level audio tech.
You'd do better with Viper. Almost anything is better than the pre-installed audio enhancements, whether it's Beats, Harman, or whatever.
ive also read it may just be a software thing and not difference in hardware.
do you think viper is significantly better than the boomsound already on the phone?

Viper4Android is a great mod don't get me wrong, a lot went into making this! Personally though after playing with it for literally hours in my car streaming music via BT, i couldn't get 1 setting that i felt was better than stock. Same with "Boomsound" for the external speakers. I'm completely happy with the stock "equalizer" personally. Don't see what this HK equalizer will bring to the table, i bet nothing special. I think HTC actually put a lot of time and energy into their equalizer knowing that Beats left them and this is their next big device since Beats left so they had to make it just as good if not better. I feel they've made it just as good if not better on this device :highfive:

Its definitely just an equalizer setting. They wouldn't have developed entirely different speakers for a carrier variant. Its the same thing as the Beats integration last year, which has now been replaced by BoomSound.

Pay the $6 and get Neutron. 64 bit processing, 32 bit playback, about a dozen eq's in it, maybe more. Using it with 24-192 Led Zeppelin, Stones, and a bunch of other stuff.
Sorry if this has been asked, I'm not on here much. Anyway, what's a good alternative to viper 4 Android? I've been on rooted pixels for years, so I really don't know what's best without root. I'm currently using Poweramp equalizer, and that definitely helps with the sound quality. But it doesn't match v4a.
Thanks!

I tested wavelet in my current phone (S21+ rooted) comparing to V4A. It is infinitely inferior.
I think i saw some threads about no root V4A... Is that a thing? Or maybe only for older Android versions?

Currently looking. I think it's an older thing though.
Wavelet
v4a needs to be upgraded to fix original a12 device issues and I'm still believe they are developing updates, I've tried with wavelet, it couldn't be compared with v4a , I mean v4a is much more better than wavelet from my experience

I use boom player and dolby on Lenovo fold, galaxy fold 3 and s22 ultra. But wavelet it's really very good Equalizer for androids..
@Shiro39 and @WZDISMINE I must be doing something wrong with wavelet. Could you share your settings?
Because it is almost as no equilizer at all snd v4a seems 1000 times better in its volume improvement, clear highs and powerful bass.

Just did that, didn't change much. I tried pulling all the buttons up with bass being a nit more than the rest. Itbgot a bit better, but it's not even near V4A. This app is just amazing. I wish there was a non root version.
Or maybe another app just as good. I'm gonna search for one and if I find it I'll post here.

I use it for Bluetooth. Works very well for my car and home audio. I listen to a lot of podcast through the phone speaker and it works very well with the volume Booster that also works for calls over phone speaker
The best way and an alternative for me is VLC media player. I think it's better than V4A. It has really very very punchy and deeep basses, crisp and clear mids and highs. You must check before the equalizer. The downside is that, that i'm not able to stream content from the internet. Need some help, if it possible. Give it a try and have a great time!
Edit: Im using Jabra Elite 75t
I use Poweramp Eq, it´s paid, but not expensive. It process almost system wide like v4a, but you need to run an adb command. It also has a parametric eq, so you can set any band as you want, you can adjust frecuency, quality, gain and type of filer. I have the eq exactly the same as peace eq in my PC for my earphones
@nobrain3000 @danvrez players are not a good option because you won't be able to use Spotify, Youtube or any app that's not the player.
I wasn't using wavelet with it's full potential because I had the free version. Got the paid one and now I can customize bass. While the sound got better, V4A bass (and mids and highs) are way cleaner.
