Voodoo sound control? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone knows if Supercurio has developed any for the GS3? I LOVED his voodoo sound control app on my sgs1!

No, only the international exynos gs3 has the updated Wolfson microelectronics audio chip that is compatible. The US versions have a yamaha chip. Supercurio stated on twitter awhile ago that VZW's decision to lock the bootloader made him not want to develop anything. Perhaps his opinion had changed now that the device is unlocked?

Deliquified -
Where did you learn of the Yamaha substitution over Wolfson in the Verizon (US) galaxy S3? Is it possible for you to provide a link to the information or an image of a spec sheet or of the circuit board? I am trying to find a concrete answer because many pages indicate Wolfson is in Verizon S3 and others say it is not.
Bottom line with the Verizon S3 is the audio is terrible when recording video and I am trying to become informed so that I can find a fix.
Thanks!

And one of the best as well. It was in one of the original ipods. I think the 4th Gen, and it is an amazing DAC. Google it. Lots of love for it.
With voodoo control, the sound is stunning from this phone with good headphones.
I can vouch for this on my epic. Even the stock earbuds sound great. I'm using a pair of high end Sony buds and the sound is amazing. Also, the recorder is top notch too. With hi-q mp3 recorder and the recording setting set to loud environment, I went to a live show and the sound from the video was pretty decent l. I was right next to the guant speakers.

I guess you are still talking about the Wolfson DAC present on the sgs1 and the previous samsung nexus...
But what about the sound quality on this Nexus??
Seems to be, it doesnt have neither the Wolfson nor the Yamaha DAC...
Anyone?

[Q] Using the system dump can anyone confirm if the Skyrocket has the Wolfson DAC

Using the system dump can anyone confirm if the Skyrocket variant has the Wolfson or Yamaha DAC?
I know the SGS S II has the Yamaha, but given the different chipset in the Skyrocket variant I'm hoping they used the Wolfson DAC. The Wolfson website states that a version on the SII uses their DAC, so I've got my fingers crossed.
If it does i bet supercurio will port voodoo sound.
Thanks in advance.
On the Tmobile gs2 forum it has been confirmed that it doesn't have the Wolfson and the skyrocket is similar

I know your probably right. But I want to have it confirmed by a developer using the system dump or a tear down.
I'm basing my hope on the Wolfson website stating that a version of the SII uses their DAC, and that no previous versions of the SII have been found to have the Wolfson DAC.
Yes I was hoping too. i'm looking for where I saw it.I'll reply the link

Samsung SHV-E110S Galaxy S II LTE

From what I can see this phone is identical to ours. It's the Korean sgs2 lte and has source code released for ICS on the Samsung open source center.
Could someone maybe confirm this to be true or tell me why I'm dumb.

Hmmm. Well, it does have a 1.5 GHz Dual-core Scorpion CPU and a Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon chipset. This sounds like this could maybe possibly work.

"Galaxy S2 Plus" What a Joke!

"Galaxy S2 Plus" What a Joke!
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...ls-galaxy-s2-plus-with-a-shot-of-android-4.1/
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-unveils-galaxy-s2-plus-minor-spec-bump-over-original
JUST LIKE THE S2:
- The S2 Plus will offer a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor
- 1GB of RAM
- 4.3-inch WVGA Super AMOLED Plus display
- An 8-megapixel camera with an LED flash on the back
- 2-MP camera graces the front
Differences to the S2:
- Many of the plus versions will have NFC
- The Internal memory is 8GB unlike the original 16gb s2's
- Can Support a 64gb card (very likely due to running JB)
- Will come boxed with JB 4.1.2
Main upgrades:
- Plus variant will be running JB.4.1.2 out of the box
So basically Samsung are re-releasing our phone with stock installed JB and will probably retail for a very stupid price, this make me think we are actually going to get an official update well after this releases worldwide which could be a few months. hopefully our devs can port a plus ROM once it leaks. i reckon Samy just getting rid of old stock which was banned to sell in the USA after the APPLE lawsuit, but now the ban has been reversed.
In detail video comparison : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tEDhipUBYc
I'm sure the S2+ jellybean f/w has already been leaked. Does it use an exynos CPU?
If its not broken, don't fix it!

in all honesty i bet its just software related, i cant imagine Samsung changing the hardware for the camera, considering they would have to replace the cameras of thousands of already boxed brand new phones. but maybe they changed the camera its a possibility.

if the s2 plus is not using exynos, were not getting a jb update for at least a few months for sure.

Yep, we'll have to wait till s2+is released worldwide and then the updates will begin to roll out. Add another month to that for each individual region. Ironically jb has already started rolling out for the galaxy s advance... I dont understand Samsung's crazy marketing strategy. With the amount of time they've taken for the update we should be getting 4.2...
Sorry for going a little off topic.

If you think deeper you may realize this is not a bad thing. So they are realising "new" s2. since its "new" phone, it may mean that they plan to upgrade it to
further versions of android? If so, since its almost the same phone, that could man further versions of android for us also.

The truth is it'll be the opposite going forward. SGS2 and SGS2+ don't share same h/w components and their launch has a long gap.
Its a hint that support for SGS2 will stop soon

I think this is a good news because if the hardware is almost alike, its firmware will be easy to be ported into our phones

[Q] Audio Quality of Galaxy S4

Hi Guys!
I am planning on buying this when it becomes available in my area (KSA). I need a feedback esp. on those who already have this. What are your thoughts on this as a Music Player? I really enjoyed Galaxy S3, the quality of it's audio chip is superb, and with MegaBeats Mod + SiyahKernel, it even beats my Sony Music Player!
Your responses is highly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
Try to search the Q&A section OP many people have discussed about it there. Just some little info, SGS4 got the current highest end of Wolfson DAC.

Ahh I forgot about that, but the updated GSM arena article shows some great promise and some are speculating whether the S600 version also have Wolfson in it.
Will the 600 sound be awful then?

No it doesn't, i tried the phone the other day in store, and i was blown away by the sound quality, i own a Note 2 with superb sound quality, the Galaxy S4 S600 is much louder and i couldn't tell the difference in clearity.

I covered this before, it has the same qualcomm chip like HTC One.
Though One has beats audio and extra amplifier.

Nope, it doesn't. This is already confirmed by Supercurio via Voodoo Analysis on the 600 model. The GSMArena results have nothing whatsoever to do with Wolfson, the One with the same bundled Qualcomm DAC performs much the same.
Honestly this speaker isnt too great for music. I wasnt blown away. Loudness doesnt mean better. Its similar to the Note 2. Same placement as well. Very loud but kind of loud microphonish
