Beats audio - HTC ChaCha

Beats audio,

What do you mean by "it works"?
I have a One XL and a Desire C, both branded with beats audio. Beats audio = very expensive headphones with some EQ presets for the media player.
You can get the same thing from any phone with 70-80 euro headphones and some EQ tweaking. It's just a marketing thing.

I have tried flashing it in another device (samsung galaxy wifi). the zip works but it doesn't show an indicator, unlike the htc phones which really includes beats audio in it. in my experience, it provides "boomier" bass, great if you listen to a lot of bass-y songs. It is indeed a marketing hype though

Anyone know if this works with 2.1? Or is anyone using this?

I used it on my hero and loved it, have not installed it to my evo. The app writes to /system, something that is impossible to do at the moment. So we have to wait this one out.

awesome, thanks
toasts doesn't have write access to /system?
little more on this is that it may take a kernel rewrite to get it going. Thats the only way they got it working on the Nexus and it seems our files are similar to theirs. So once we get source I'll defly be looking into that!
Really? The EVO's ring isnt loud enough for you? I was very satisfied.
Really..
Frankly for me the volume has sucked in every HTC phone I have used IMHO. I mean its not horrible or unusable for me or anything..I would like what the max is now to be about the middle..My notifications mostly is what I would like louder.
The speaker phone isnt that great either but ive used HTC phones long enough to be used to it.
Bump. I would really appreciate more info on this, the alarm tones are not loud enough to wake me up. Thanks.

No ROM has write access to /system from within Android. Currently, the only way to do that is through toast's custom recovery.

I've found the audio quality to suck on the EVO... there is a big difference in audio quality between the EVO and the iPhone... it just sounds flat to me. And even with the volumne all the way up it was barely loud enough to hear over a lawn mower.

try buying some comply eartips for your ear buds they really improve the sound and provide excellent noise canceling.... i use them for my monster turbines

I have full root (Yay Toast!!) now so I tried volume hack 3.6. I backed up my stock files first and then tried the 3.6 + everything mode, but it doesn't seem to work...unless the difference is not that dramatic. I also tried the 3.3 files, but same thing.
Anyway, the app indicates it doesn't work on the Nexus and several others so maybe the Evo is included in that. Give a try and let me know if it works for you.
Crap I hope someone works this out. The fm app is really low when on speaker
Retracted.... Headphones didn't work either. Bummer.
Um...wow, this worked awesome for the headphones! Three bars up from mute is about the same as stock at max.

Desire i.c.w. SE HBH-DS200-> bad audio quality

I've been using this headset for a long time now. And I would like to use it with my desire as well. But the sound quality is so poor that it's like listening to a 56k mp3 file while actually I'm playing a 320kbps mp3.
It seems to me that somehow the bitrate on the bluetooth connection isn't high enough(very low actually).
Does anybody here know how I can change that easily? Or do you have any other solutions for this problem without buying a new headset.
btw, I use a Sennheiser HD215 headphone or the SE in-ear ear buds.
thanks in advance
I'm using the SE MW600 and I have no problems. Using stock rom with the update.

No actually I never touched these settings because they were already enabled when I paired the devices. And I figured it would be quite crucial to have those settings enabled if I wanted to use those profiles.

Was hoping you would conclude from my post that there isn't a problem with the Desire regarding bitrates over bluetooth. Does the headset work on other devices without problems?

Ok, I know that for example the mw600 headset from SE works fine. So I think it's just the combination of devices, but that would be solved if I would be able to alter the bitrate.
I have used the headset with other devices without any problem, other than that I had to set the bitrate higher on a WM 6.5 device.

nope, wont know before tomorrow, i didnt get any calls, i also dont think this will afect calls as it is basically an equaliser un the music app. From what i heared, it balances out better Bass and Treble. Will know tomorrow when i use my car

The beats thing is such a sham
all it does it boost the bass and the treble.
no fancy stuff just a loudness button more or less.
Power amp does this and a lot more
I'm notnsure if it's just a placebo ear effect, but I think i notice a difference
Checking on several different headphones and the S4i's are sounding better
there is a difference, i used my friends GS2 to compare and the not only is the bass and trebble better balanced, but i can push my car's sound system to a 20% higher volume before i start to hear distortion. This is not placebo, or its not a sham, its does what it says and work very well
How does this compare to the Beats setting in Volume+?

Hi,
Yes.
But get yourself a good set of earphones,and it's great.
If you want great speakers, buy a Xperia Play
But yeah, they're pretty bad.
Try installing beats audio installer app from the play market. There's a huge difference when you use earphones. Get the free version because the pro version might not work.

well, the phone has 3 speaker devices so wich are you refering to? the actual speaker, the ear speaker (reciever) or the microphone?
as said the speaker is pretty bad, but I think that isn't a focus point for manufacturors anymore ( I used to have a Nokia with stereo speaker system )
The reciever sounds good most of the time in my opinion. And the mic, well, can't really judge that. haven't hear anyone complain about low volume calls from my part. The review sais otherwise though, I can't confirm that.

You like music? Don't buy it. (About The Honor 8 Audio Subsystem)

Hi.
Please forgive my grammar mistakes; English isn't my first language.
Why no reviewer talks about it? Why are reviews so superficial? I'm quite irritated. I've been using the Honor 8 since 1st Dec. 2016 and so far I've noticed that:
1. There's no system-level audio equalizer: this means that you have to live with the flat audio that comes out of the sound card, which is not pleasant if you really enjoy listening to music. Of course you can use a cool audio player such as Poweramp, but what about sounds coming from other apps? What about YouTube, for example?
2. You can't adjust the L-R audio balance: WTF? Again, you can use Poweramp, but what about any other sound?
3. The included earphones sound bad, like really bad. OK, if you are an audiophile you use something else, but... WTF?
4. MIDI audio output: I played a MIDI file using com.lonelycatgames.Xplore and after about a minute the phone rebooted. I used to enjoy using those piano-simulator-apps(?), such as com.rubycell.pianisthd, but the audio output is full of clicks and pops (can't explain it better, sorry). EDIT (02/03/2017): no more clicks and pops after upgrading from Android 6.0 (FRD-L09C432B120) to 7.0 (FRD-L09C432B360).
5. (a bit off topic): When using MX Player (to play video files, not audio) the HW/HW+ decoder fails to play some videos the right way (I mean, they're like slowed down).
edit (08/04/17):
6. Good luck using with satisfaction apps like "Samsung Health" or "Huawei Health". Their processes get terminated randomly when the phone is not in use (display is off). No, telling the phone to never close those processes doesn't work. AND NO, telling the apps to "ignore battery optimizations" doesn't work either. F--K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't buy it again. This phone is clearly not made for audio(/video)-obsessed people.
Guys, what are your thoughts about the A/V experience this smartphone offers?

2. You can actually adjust the L-R balance : Settings- advanced settings-accessibility-sound balance.
3. There were no earphones with my phone (L04).
My impressions are audio is not bad, I had HTC M8 before and it was definitely better, but the Honor does the job and i'm pretty satisfied.
When campared to my note 4 , the note 4 wins by a land slide.. I was disappointed when i first heard music on my honor 8.
Easiest fix: Just flash v4a
Unless you really don't want to unlock your device then i don't know but v4a gets the job more then done

I do agree that the lack of equalizer is very unpleasant. I miss my good old phones with Cyanogen and my equalizers.
I had Honor 7 and LG G3 before the 8 and I managed to install Viper4Android which is the best equalizer of all times but since I didn't unlock the Honor 8 yet...
This phone CAN be GREAT for people like us, but we have to flash a few things for that

I'm afraid it's never gonna be great for me. I'll never trust any review anymore.
My opinion:
For music the best is Alcatel 4, stereo speakers, jbl headphones, built in app equalizer, dj mode..
But its music phone.
Honor 8 is good for daily using whatever you want.
Great camera, display and even one speaker of sound is nice though should be louder. Honor have HiSilicon Hi6402 audio chipset. DTS sound effect in music player.
Ok, it have no equalizer (it piss me off because in play store you can find only trash), but we can install Viper if we rooted our phone.
If no root mode we can use poweramp as you said, maybe no works with youtube but who listen to music on youtube if audio there have not good quality.

Uhm... this is complicated. It's not a simple concept like "youtube music video suck". YouTube has any kind of video and I'd like to listen to the audio the best way possibile. And what about Spotify, as someone else already wrote?
No, f**k, it's not possible to pay 330€ to get such a low quality audio. I don't accept it. And we're still only talking about the lack of eq. What about the crappy HW video decoder? What about the bad midi output? I can't believe it.

I've unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP many times without failure.
I've also bricked my phone a few times and manage to unbrick it.
I think installing v4a honestly shouldn't be hard whatsoever if you need help you can just search forums
I agree. The sound, even with dts, is mediocre. I have never had a good pair of buds or headphones come by default. I always buy 3rd party.
The only major con is the ios skin. The video is npt grreat but not bad. So 1 major flaw and 2 small issues. GREAT PHONE.
Lol which music fanatic buys a phone to listen to music sorry but you failed completly by yourself

If someone want to have one device to everything is ok.
So i should buy camera, mp3 player etc?
The same with people which buys phone for taking pictures, why not? Now smartphones haves very good audio chipsets and firmware addons which makes phone better than many other players. Problem with honor is that his firmware is not made for music lovers but as you said Viper can change it.
Ps i find no root, not bad app, good for headphones
