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.

ok, a guy in other thread mentioned that desire s has software SRS, and incredible has.... some other SRS i guess ?
now, whats the difference

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?

HTC Sensation - Ringtone volume problem

Hello, I just purchase one HTC Sensation and I have a big problem with ringtone volume. It is lower ! I read on the forum about this issue but I found no solution .
Attempts :
Volume+ ( software from market ) - nothing changed
Custom ROM ( CoreDroid Sensation XE V2.7 ) - same lower volume
Please help me with other ideas or others ROMs who increase ringtone volume with 20-30 % . Thanks !

Just bought Sensation XE and i have the same problem. I miss too many calls.

Sorry to hear that . Maybe someone help us to solve the problem

Until there's no fix, maybe try to make ringtone louder using e.g. audacity.

This is one of the reasons I'm now selling this phone. I also had the HTC Desire S and the problem was the same.

And no one could solve this problem?

I use CM7 SelfKanged10 rom and volume is quite loud. I stay away from sense roms anyway, they're like bloated cows.

true, the sensation's ringtone volume is not what you'd expect from a somewhat expensive phone. volume+ didn't do a thing for me either, until i enabled the "virtual room effect". no idea if it really is an increase in volume, but it definitely sounds different and if you ask me - it's "better" if not louder.

Ok, I'll try to install CM7 . I saw some videos with that ROM and I do not really like how it looks, but I will install to see if the problem with ringtone disappears ! Thanks for your answer .
P.S : Wait for responses from users who have installed custom ROMs and the sound of phone has changed.

I too have an HTC sensation and have many issues with sense which keeps restarting..also battery life is poor even after system updates..on top of that their customer support sucks..
I wonder how HTC Facebook page has so many Likes and good comments!

It's strange. Volume+ perfectly worked for me. PLay around with high settings. First I didn't notice the result either.

@manojv : I dont have problem with device restarting. And you're right, battery life is poor ( 2 days - only with calls, 2-3 hrs per day , SMS , and very little traffic on WI-FI )
@zoom2d : Hmmm, how ? Do u have full version or the free version from Market ?

+1 on this. I have a few custom MP3 ringtones, and jacked up the volume using MP3Gain - more than loud enough for me now.

Battery is poor!.. thats obvious for a smartphone!.. still try using juice defender!.
Restarting is a motherboard issue(I faced the same with my old Desire-after 2yrs f usage, i checked it with the Customer Care they told dat its a IC issue!)
Does ur phone restrt wen its heated up?
And Customer Support is Extremely Good!.. I checked out in Hyderabad and Bangalore!.. I dont know abt your place(TVC) Few Centers do poor Service!.. Avoid those!
If you want a remedy jus root your fone and dump a custom ROM that suits the best to you!
P.S : Sense Roms take a lot of battery compared to Non-Sense Roms!

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.

In setting does your phone still say its a sensation XE? Have your tried updating to the latest update?
Sent from my Desire S using Tapatalk

Yes
Yes it still says HTC Sensation XE just about everywhere even when i send something via bluetooth. Its just the peocessor saying 1.2 now instead of 1.5 as before. the last update was downloade but kept saying verifying. Got impatient and cleared it. Just want to know how do i get it clocking 1.5 again videos and pictures looks really cool and works smooth though.

Good Equalizer

Hi
Can anyone please recommend a good global equaliser app for the U11+?
I used to use Viper4Audio but as this is only for rooted phones it is hard finding a replacement that works as well on the U11+.
Thanks
Aussie

I literally embarked on a search for one today. I just got this device and already miss my old one which had a system-wide EQ. Here's the one I tried that worked. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devdnua.equalizer.free
I do get a notification prompt that the app is running in the background and that leaves me worried about battery drain. I shall keep searching until I find an almost perfect one or until a custom ROM with Dolby ATMOS gets released.

Thank you. Yes I agree. HTC releases a phone with quality audio DAC but no system-wide/global EQ.
V4A is ideal but only works on rooted phones with permissive kernel, so for now we are left searching.
Cheers

Hi I tried that app but as soon as I put the higher frequencies up the volume decreased and it changed the dynamics of the sound a fair bit. Same with the bass.
There ust be compatability factors with some devices that have enhanced (preset) EQ.

Thank you sir for this equalizer. It works on my HTC u 12+

I use Neutron. It's not system-wide,but its 30-band equalizer gives pretty awesome sound. My Youtube sounds pretty decent with these Usonic setups i have. About viper i don't know if it's good for our device. It only has 48khz drives. You are right though. I miss Viper sound... HTC must give us in a future update(...)a system equalizer

Hi.
I use Poweramp.
That's the perfect HiRes player.
Perfect sound on Bluetooth and on cabled headphones.
Just great.
Take care
