Searching for best audio quality android phone of all new phones that released lately cuz i am gonna sell my s2 and i dont care about price and please dont post that all phones are same all u need is eq an just good headphone. Yea i have good solo bose headphones but i am 100% sure quality of circuts and other chips jacks and speaker placement and quality affect sound alot too and by asking for sound quality i mean loud speakers of phone too. Also i need it to be one of new android phones in market with good specs, features n quality but mainly focus on sound (not just the bass boost but clarity n sharpness of all sound too). Please if u are not sure of the device u gona suggest better dont post cuz i need the best, really the best. also got 2 questions
1. Htc onex+ the beats is really just an eq adjustment software or they have any hardware that added related to beats or even speakers and chips and with audio engineering point of view cuz that what beats.com says
2. S3 with voodoo enhance loud speakers too or just headphones? does galaxy note 2 have wolfson or work with voodoo? If not what is note 2 chip brand tho and what i can use that can be as good as s3 with voodoo exactly and have same options of voodoo?
Thanks in advance,

OPPO Find 5?
How about the OPPO Find 5? It uses a Dirac HD sound processing chip, making Oppo the first mobile phone brand to do so. However I have no personal experience with it, but I just figured it fit your discription. I too am looking for a phone with good audio HARDWARE, and this is on the top of my list, especially due to their good reputation with A/V equipment in general! Just need to get my hands (and ears) on it first. Good luck!
Looks like its really good one for sound quality but it lack much of specifications compared to the new phones released lately like s3 and one x+. Also i would love to include that need company that can update android regularly i know there will be non so fast especially than nexus phones but i mean that company dont ignore old phones cuz samsung did that with s2 users and heard htc do same but if both do i need recommandation of best of them in that point.
but still periority goes to best sound quality hardware..
and please someone answer my previous 2 questions too
Thanks in advance

This might sound stupid but couldn't you just take your headphones and some music down to a store and simply try out each phone then just pick whichever one sounds the best to you...
Samsung Galaxy S3 is a superb audio quality android phone. It comes with latest features it has 4.8 inch Superb Super AMOLED display with saturated colors and high contrast with 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and HD video recording, 4.0 android operating system, Quad-core 1.4 GHz Processor and 2050 mAh battery capacity. You can read all details here:
themobileindian.com/handset-guide/details/Samsung-Galaxy-SIII
Thanks guys for trying to help but
1- no there is no store here let me try phones
2- i know s3 specifications and thats not my point. My point is need best android phone with best audio hardware and its audio was made with sound experts.
Anything as good as s3 or better in audio? What about note 2 audio?
Please answer my previous 2 questions in first post, guys
Waiting for replies and more suggestions cuz i need new phone so bad

Check out HTC One S, it has Beats Audio integration and comes with 8MP camera and a very sleek body. This is one phone to look out for. Do check.
I guess one x plus is better but ppl say beats just an equalizer and not hardware is that true or not? << so important question (beats says on their website they
do add great quality hardware and placement them in right places for clarity and great sound as heard by artists in thier studio)
does beats audio on htc one x plus better than voodoo with s3 ??
Still waiting more suggestion of devices of best audio quality hardware
Please please please people reply my first 2 questions in my first post in this thread
Thanks alot,

The Galaxy S3 (i9300 and i9305, NOT the US models) has the Wolfson DAC that the original Galaxy S/Nexus S (remember the Voodoo audio mod?). Also applies to the Note 2. If you want to use this device as a secondary device, you can just get a Galaxy S or Nexus S, but as a daily phone if you need something powerful, get the S3.
As for the One X, the Tegra 3 was rated as having the worst and nosiest DAC. Beats Audio is a gimmick and is just a software audio equalizer preset.

Yes, but you need to be running Siyah kernel (which I'm assuming exists for the Note 2 since Play Store reviews for the app say people are using it): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gokhanmoral.stweaks.app&hl=en
The kernel includes the app when you flash it but in case it doesn't, link above.

Does stweaks give same sound quality and options like voodoo sound like for radio too?
Does voodoo work for note 2?
Which u prefer note 2 or s3 in terms of sound hardware and quality ( speakers and headphones) ?
Does stweak/voodoo work for speaker too or just headphone ?
Does stweaks/voodoo work with all apps?

STweaks applies audio tweaks system-wide, at the kernel level. I don't believe there's an official Voodoo mod for the S3 or Note 2 yet, however the mods in STweak use code from the official Voodoo mod (it's just as good). Both the Note 2 and S3 i9300/i9305 (again, not the US S3, BUT you can use any Note 2. It's part of the Exynos chipset) have the same chipset, but the Note 2 is a little faster and has 2GB of RAM. It's up to you really. I like the size of the S3 compared to the Note 2. But the Note 2 is slightly more powerful and has the S-Pen among other things.
Aah right ok. Ive just been researching a little. No actual voodoo sound for the note 2 just yet, and the neak kernel has options for sounds etc, and neak and siyah are both compatible with samsung based roms?
Im thinking of rooting and installing the android revolution hd rom, which has the option to install the perseus kernel, and im sure I read something an hour ago about something to do with voodoo sound and perseus?...so would there be a control app with that too?
I also hate to ask but not necessarily which is the best, do you know which has the most features etc
Ive had the note 2 3 weeks maybe and im a music nut. Still unrooted with the stock rom. Also had this noozoxiode app installed and its great and very impressive, just when I have the headphones in its too quiet, even with the volume on max.

Siyah kernel supports both Samsung and AOSP based ROMs in one (with tweaks and everything) and even supports dual-booting as long as one ROM is AOSP and one is Samsung-based. I recommend Omega ROM because it has a ton of features. It uses AROMA installer so you can choose what you want to include or not when flashing the ROM, and it has tons of mods (comes with an app that showcases a few of them). It's for the S3 i9300 and Note 2.
My personal experience, no android hardware is good for quality audio, used almost all trendy phones from HTC,moto,Samsung ,Sony. Well Sony had the best audio phones b4, but Sony seems to take no care for audio hardware( yes I mean hardware itself and not software /os ) now a days. I can strongly say it becoz I am a fan of Sony Ericsson phones ( those old cyber shots and walkmans) and besides the fact that 95 % of those phones were java phones, they really had a good cam, and good sound hardware. My personal interests were k800,w880,c905 and w995. If u can mod/patch and change drivers of those phones, I bet u will throw out ur iPods. Even now I have c905, with changed cam/display/ sound drivers and I barely use my hd2 for photos or songs. Go find one of them, then go to se-nse forum, be the guru to ur phone. 1Ce u behold a moded phone, u never get back to android for audio.Sony had phones with Smaster digital amp with about 2v o/p . It will bleed ur ears if u remove the sound restrictions Sony inserted in its drivers. And mods are intented to remove restrictions.
Nb. Lol android is not an os for entertainment unlike iOS, but it is more close to productivity. So expect less multimedia.and if u want an android multimedia device go for Sony's android walkman. But never ever buy Sony phones for this purpose.

Thanks for the tip, just been scrolling through the omega 9.1 thread... omg! And a kitchen app! So in a nutshell I fully charge, root with method 2 so I get cwm to flash the rom with, backup stuff and flash omega then wipe everything at the start of the aroma. Then download the kitchen app and install the perseus kernel so I get stweaks which is the closest thing to voodoo?

What I know so far, and ive only been looking into this stuff tonight. It seems stweaks is the option to go with as its the closest to the voodoo sound mod, and yes it sorts out both headphone and speaker etc. Also I think stweaks is kernel specific to perseus. So you would need to root and install a rom that supports the perseus kernel. Apparently the omega rom is one of the top Samsung based ones and you can flash the perseus kernel with the omega rom kitchen app from the play store. Search for omega files. This seems the best way to go at the minute.

I am not that good to be my phone guru plus i asked for best from nowadays new phones cuz i need phone that can suit my tasks as my previous ones could not java one and honestly i got ipod touch 4g and had iphone 3g and now got s2 which will sell but i really bored with ios and need to change ik s2 is android but i had it for like 4-5 monthes unlimke ios so i was searching best of android audio hardware although i agree that android not good with audio that much anymore and ios more better at that point as far as i know about iphones/ipod and s2 but still after best of them although i see at productivity iphone more better too atleast look at thier apps and play apps... I like android os flexibility and easy and much customizable than ios but not agreeing about productivity due to less app devs for play.
till now i guess a note 2 with stweaks is answer so far. Why not s3? Cuz personally i hate to carry phone with 50% of people around the world. I love to carry something not out there much and special with good features especially audio
Thanks in advance,

Hello!
I've been lurking here for a long time and it's time for a question..
I have sensitive IEM's (In Ear Monitors) and when I plug them in to the Galaxy S Plus there's a loud hiss which makes listening to music impossible..
There's a new app called FauxSound similar to the famous Voodoo control but it has to be implemented in the kernel.
The app can be found in Google Play. (Sorry I'm not allowed to post links!)
My question to the DEV's goes:
Can this be implemented in a CM10 beta3 compatible kernel, and if so, would somebody be kind enough to compile it for us?
Thank you!
ps. I have zero expereince or knowledge about building kernels so that is why I'm asking.
Hello!
That would be great... But it's not a free app, isn't it?
EDIT: I have had a question in Galaxy S forum's question part, but nobody answered. So, in Galaxy S Plus do we have a Wolfson DAC? Because as far as I know, the original Galaxy S has it.

No. The S+ doesn't have the Wolfson codec.
Yeah, unfortunately no Wolfson in our phone and I can't afford an S3 or S4 ATM..
With the FauxSound app one could lower the headphone gain, which would make this phone a better source. Right now there's just way too much hiss noise.
The S+ has a Qualcomm chipset and if it has WCD93xx Audio Chip, this could be implemented in the kernel.
R: FauxSound possible?

You could try playing with DSP manager if you're on cm10...
"Many people think they can outsmart me... maybe. Maybe... i have yet to meet one that can outsmart a bullet."
I believe this is an important fact, however for some reason, there was no mention of this in any of Samsung's stage intros, news reports, or even spec sheets and even any Note 3 reviews.
How can such a big company with an enormous marketing department fail so miserably.
Its is a far more useful feature that the infrared which is mentioned. Also in the current days its even way more practical than the smart-watch they made (which in all honesty has not real life practical use if you have a phone and a BT headset. And without a phone it cant even function on its own).
Anyway it is good (now confirmed) news, not matter the blunder, That Note 3 does in-fact support ANT+
http://www.thisisant.com/news/ant-has-been-integrated-in-samsung-galaxy-note-3
I personally only realized it when and end user reported it in a forum which I follow.
Why they (Samsung) should play this so lowkey I will never understand. I am almost certain that this is going to be news to a lot of the people who worked on the GN3. And its not even funny.
So many sports/fitness people can make good use of it.
It seems to be working on all versions of Note 3 (SD800 I was sure, but a used reported that his equinox also has ANT+). I have to confess that this later part still has me wondering, as it is know that the Snapdragon has had integrated ANT on its chips for a long time (its not something that Samsung added by itself, hence you have it on the Sony Z Ultra also and if rumors are right then the S4 will support it with the next firmware upgrade), but I never heard (till this day) of an equinox that did support this. Doesn't really make sense. You can do a search on google with SD/qualcomm and ANT and you will return positive results. Qualcomm is a part of the alliance. How ever if you do the same for equinoxx you wont find any thing, not a single thing!.
All in all I am very happy. As I dont have to trash my Wahoo speed and cadence sensor. Just to buy a BTLE version of this, to which the android support is still shady and continues to disconnect according to current users. Also very few apps have BTLE enabled for android (As they really waisted time getting here). I think officially so far, only Runtastic pro has in integrated.
However a lot of apps have ANT+ support, as that has been with android since the (Sony Xperia pioneered) 2011 days. If you have problems connecting your ANT device to Note 3, then try this universal connection manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iforpowell.android.ipantman it works with any ANT sports app, not just the developers own. Also lets multiple apps use data from the same ANT device. Basically a must have!
There are very many sensors to choose from, all now compatible with the GN3: http://www.thisisant.com/directory you can filter at the side.
A little background on ANT (as I can see from the replies, that a lot of people are like "ok, but what is ANT?"):
For those that are new to this. ANT+ is a wireless protocol that is similar to Bluetooth, actually more like Bluetooth LE. It is usually found on sport monitors/sensors like a heart rate sensor and is used mostly to transfer information to a reviver/logger, like a "bike computer" (things like speed, cadence, power, pulse, etc).
ANT+ has a wide list of compatible equipment (as its older than BTLE). Formally you needed to buy an expensive receiver/computer (like Garmin) for $400. Now you can use your phone to do this for free and even do it better (as the phones can do much more and has many options for apps/customization.). Also you can simultaneously navigate a map, take calls, listen to music, etc. All-in-one.
See these for any example of ANT+ compatible Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.strava or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.endomondo.android both of which, as you can see are very popular. Most of this really became popular with the Sony Xperia Active, which is water, dust and damage proof, so people didn't mind mounting it on their bikes.
Basically you dont need ant to use these apps. The built in GPS on these phone can do wonders (tell you speed, elevation, position). But if you want even more detail and also you wan these details to be more precise, then that is where these sensors come into play.
Ok. Now I know some people might have the feeling, that they have been "living under a cave". Don't feel bad. I too didn't know anything about all this about a year ago. That was when I dusted off my bike in the cellar. As I was getting too fat

So weird: If you do a search for Note 3 and ANT+ on google then all you get is the Sept 5th report from thisisant.com site that I linked and few tech news channels that echoed it the same day or the next. That is all.
So you have Qualcomm then, right? That confirms my supervision.

I personally only realized it when and end user reported it in a forum which I follow, that he revived his Note 3 and it paired with his ANT+ device.
Why should the play this on low-key, it a more important feature that a lot of other things that are published.
So many sports/fitness people can make good use of it.
I suspect that it might be limited to one version only, that is either Exynos or Qualcomm. Still looking for specifics, maybe someone can shed some light on this.
(I think Qualcomm is the winner here too?? as those have had this feature in Sony Ericsson Xperia and Motorola in the past)

You have N9000? OR you read it somewhere?
I never saw anything indicate that Exynos eve had/has ANT support.
thanks this is really good news for me.. I just want some more information as to which version has the ant+ support. I just sold my wahoo rflkt and bluesc. I replaced it with a garmin edge 500 and was thinking about getting the footpod for running so this will be great if I don't need a key. This was one of the biggest problems for me switching to android that I had to switch out all my sensors because they aren't supported yet.
I emailed them via thisisant page asking which variants had ant and they said all variants. This was a week ago. I have N900T.

That is exactly the story of my life. I had to buy a stupid OTG cable and mini USB ant dongle. All which made it impossible to put the note in the mount that I had.
Also heart rate monitor is normal bluetooth which only lasted 4 weeks (Ant would last 6 months).
So far it seems that N9005 is 100% confirmed. Also this is what makes sense (looking at the chip manufacturer).
I am yet to see any info on N9000.
EDIT: Randpost (post above this one) got an email from THISISANT clamming that all versions support ANT+. This would even better news if its true. Lets hope we see more confirmation.

Sorry Willcor, but you have some stuff mixed up.
Polar doesn't have anything that is ANT+ compatible. The have either Bluetooth or thier own "WIND" system.
Anything that has ANT+ written on it and is a sensor of some sort should be compatible with Note III.
Here is a comprehensive list of ANT+ sensors. Just fillter at the side, for what you want (eg cycling).
http://www.thisisant.com/directory
ANT+ is in this way different from BT. If you have say Endomondo app or Strava (or many other) apps from appstore then no mater what ANT HRM you use, it will work. ITs not connecting directly to the app, but rather to the ANT service on android which is universal.
Ray Maker of DC Rainmaker on Twitter reports ANT+ is coming to the Samsung Galaxy S4 through an October Firmware update and will be supported on all flagship devices going into the future
dcrainmakerblog
"We will support ANT+ in the Galaxy S4 in a firmware update coming in October" - Samsung (at the ANT+ Symposium)
dcrainmakerblog
"We do plan to support ANT+ on all of our flagship smartphone devices in the future" - Samsung (at the ANT+ Symposium)
Hell, got full set of ANT+ device and bougut a BTLE HR for note3... complete fail
And the saddest part for you wm2001 is that BTLE support is still veru buggy (no reconnect after disconnect) and most of the sports app dont yet support it. I think so far only runtastic and ipbike.

BTW I say again, the fail is on Samsungs part. I still can't get my head around it how such an omission can happen with all the marketing personal that they have.

Still on its way to deliver to me. My questions is, is the ANT support any better than BTLE?

Since the ANT Radio Service is unified across all phones with ANT including the Sony Xperia line I'd say there's a decent number of good reviews on it so far, but let's see what the Note 3 people say for awhile.

thanks, but you misread my post !!
( so i guess you have got it mixed up...!! not me..!!)
.That is what i was implying... polar, is not compatible( either ant+ or otherwise) and now i must fork out 100 dollars for compatible strap (ant+.....whatever make and monitor ! to work with S health app )
anyway, thank you for your reply.!!
Sorry if you got confused, with my cryptic post,...!!
Anyone try this with the n3 yet? If so how does it work? I'm thinking about getting a watch with a heart rate monitor and maybe some other features.

Hi forum
I just got this tablet which is a big upgrade from my old g tab 10.1
But one area where my old tab was better was volume where when I installed the voodoo sound apk would allow me to play at a much higher level than stock. But voodoo sound does not work with the stock rom on the note 10.1. What do you recommend? The note is rooted
Thanks in advance.

I have a Blackberry Playbook and its speakers blow my note speakers away.
I think it is just a weak link of the Note 10.1.
Really speakers are loud enough for me I work as a lube technician and they can here me upstairs when I'm watching Netflix

Hello guys! I made an detailed comparison between JVC HA-FR201-A and JVC HA-FX1X headphones. YouTube videos can be found right below this line.
I have to tell you guys that the device I`m testing the headphones with is a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 with KT Kernel, PowerAMP with Soft Bass Preset and ViPER4ANDROID module with a custom preset.
The comparison will be divided in 3 major parts. You can watch them here on YouTube.
I doubt this is the right place to post this.

Both are accessories compatible with Samsung Galaxy S4.
Both were tested on Samsung Galaxy S4.
What's the point of your post?

Smartisan is one of the few Chinese manufacturers that pays serious attention to its design. The design of Nut pro 2 is quite stunning. More importantly, the specs is quite decent, 4+64, 6+64, 6+128 and 6+256, and i personally will like to go for the 6+128 version、5.99 Inch、Qualcomm Snapdragon 660、Face ID Recognition、USB Type C&OTG&Bluetooth 5.0
What do you guys think?

Yes, the other day i ask one Chinese online retailer if they can install the google play for us before shipping, they said yes, of course. Here is their selling the 6gb+128gb version: https://www.coolicool.com/smartisan-u3-pro-nut-pro-2-6gb-ram-128gb-rom-qualcomm-snapdragon-660-22ghz-octa-core-599-inch-corn-g-47748
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I own it.
Hi guys, I own and love everything about this phone. The design is fantastic, camera is great, screen is superb and the battery life is brilliant etc... There are a few work arounds I'm still having to get used to coming from an iphone, but there really are very few drawbacks.
The few niggly things (being based in the UK) are:
- I can't use Android pay as it doesn't pass Android safety net. Looking online this seems to be true of a lot of Chinese phones and all of Smartisans. This one is a biggie to me.
- All 4 app doesn't work on the phone
- Some of the unread badges (WhatsApp for example) don't show up on the stock OS. I believe this is an Android thing though? Same for no easy way to copy and paste images...
- it says 3G on the network even when you're getting 4G signal and speeds (I tested them using speed test).
Other than these though I couldn't be happier. Especially for the money. The phone really is beautiful, more so than I was expecting.

Are you still happy with this device? Seems to offer most bang for the buck of all chinese upper midrange phones. Do you have any major problem with notifications, whatsapp for instance?
Google play market is installed directly without any messing around, but were you able to find a way to root it?

Hi there, I’m using this phone for about 6 weeks now and I’m happy with it too.
For the money it’s a great device, looking beautifully. The 128/6GB variant is very smooth in all situations.
It’s easy to install Google from the Smartisan store, search for gugi app and afterwards you’ll find Play Services an Play Store working.
Screen and battery life are great, 4g is displayed now (after update) when receiving 4g signal. Before it always said 3g.
Sound quality is average, the camera is not bad but I expected a bit more from it (less pronounced colors, a little less contrast and less noise in some occasions). It seems the hardware of the camera is good enough, it just needs further tweaking in my opinion (i am a camera nerd, owning Vivo Xshot before).
I received already 4 updates, mainly for tweaking and stability but I never encountered a crash so far.
Idea Pills, Big Bang are nice to haves, software features are good but some are not so easy to find out. As are the settings for Google apps.
Notifications of WhatsApp is working for me, however you do need to change settings in the app manager otherwise Messenger and WhatsApp for instance freeze at 5 minutes after closing the app (for battery savings). Therefor it’s important to get settings right.
All in all I think for the money it’s a good buy.
I just received this phone with a "global rom" but now it will not update. Does anyone know where I can find the stock ROM and the update procedure. Thanks in advance

I've recieved my Smartisan Nut Pro 2 Smartphone this week! I was so impressed. This is really one of the best looking (and performing) Smartphones.
But as @reefmonger I have the same problem with the fist OTA update I recieved.
It will download, but when installing it just comes back with: Error --> Press Volume UP + Power button to return...
I'm looking for a way / file to install the update manual. It's about Version 4.1.6. I'm now running V4.0.4.
Hope anyone has got an idea or better: the solution

I am thinking this problem is created by Gearbest customizing the stock smartisan ROM. See 5:28 point of this video

Hi there,
I think it is Gearbest ROM related.
Mine is from Joybuy with original ROM and so far I received 4 successful updates.
Even with Play Store installed from Smartisan market.

Thnx All.
I Already discovered it is ROM/ version related.
I wanted to update manual to the new version and then the bootloader said it was a wrong version ...
I should be xxxxxxx (forgot the name) and I have the xxxxxxx.hawai version ...
So a difference in Chinese / Global / international version ??
I'll take a look at the youtube film a poster added earlier ...

I just ordered the 6GB/64GB version which apparently has the new rom with OTA support. It arrives on Wednesday. I really love how customisation the OS is! Just a shame we can't have Android Pay working in the UK!
What are they doing now?

I have used thier flagsship for 2016 before (Smartisan M1L for 1 year), and now I am using this Nut Pro 2 and have been using it for about 3 months;
There are some points I think you need and others need to know:
1) Smartisan does not upgrade Android version. so if your phone released with Android 7.1.1, it will stick with forever; but they update the security patches after few of monthes ( 4-12 months )
so don't expect big updates, the maximum update size you will get is 400GB
2) The old phones get the new features (related to softwaare) that packeged in the newest phones, no matter what version of Android is.
3) The Nut Pro 2's camera is very sensitive, mine' camera glass got wrekt but it is still functioning and no any effect to the quality
4) Updates changelog always in chinese, but you can translate it using Big Bang feature.
5) others around you can hear the voice of the caller or the one you are talking to with vie Nut Pro 2.
6) the company is going to release another new phone in April, you can check thier official forums http://bbs.smartisan.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=182
I hope it is flagship, I will buy it and sell my Nut Pro 2 then
7} there is upcoming major update ( Software version 4.5.0 and size will not be higher than 400GB unless you are on very old ROM) - mine is now on version 4.1.7.1 (the latest version for now)
the chinese people are testing the beta now.
8) you can delete 90% of the bloatware and some of main apps such as the primitive calculator.
9) You cannot root the smartisan phones, at least not the new phones.

I notice you can flash the official rom with a flash cable. I ordered one which has arrive. Zi Reviews has posted a how to on his youtube.
Ok I flashed the official software using a deepflash cable. I am now on the 4.1.7.1 build which is awesome. Was really easy to do I don't like the shop rom at all!
