Hey XDA,
Here is my review of the 2015 Anker Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker including HD pics. I purchased this from Amazon UK for £39.99 and I'm sure it's available from your countries Amazon.
These speakers although small pack a serious punch and deliver crisp highs as well as bass heavy lows, a brilliant all-rounder with a premium look and feel. They are one of ankers newest devices in their audio range and they definitely do not disappoint, with a modern look, easy to use buttons with likewise connectivity and the added benefit of an AUX 3.5mm input.
These speakers will outperform anything within it's price range however you use it, whether connected directly to a PC watching a movie or pumping out your the latest songs on your phone, although I found I prefer it for gaming and movies. I had also recently bought a Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth speaker for around the same price and honestly it's just tucked away under this Anker one now.
Every device that is bluetooth enabled should work, that's including PCs and laptops (which from experience do not always work over bluetooth) and if not the 3.5mm jack offers a seamless connection with difficulty to other and/or older devices such as basic MP3 players.
Overall I genuinely cannot fault this speaker it has far exceeded expectations and also blown every other one I own out of the water!

I got a test version from vodafone.
very impressive 240X320 screen even hard to see each pixel (because too small).
it is handy and light weight. The joystick feels like sonyEricsson T68 but has a small rubber on the top so feels better.
1.3 MP Camera does not have flash/light.
Layout uses different way from HTC universe, which dimension of logic-pixel is changed.
So some software show very small size text (although it still very clear!)
if they use absolute unit rather than logic unit when CreateFont.
It has some HTC software such as connection manager and debugging tools. It supports WIFI -- it will be fantastic if skype supports SP2005!
I love windows media player 10 for SP. It feels like its PPC version.
It is a pity that HTC changed their earphone head specification again.
so I cannot use Himalaya or BlueAngel earphones.
Finally I found I could use my old Sony Ericsson P800 earphone! :lol:
And sound quality of SE earphone is much better than HTC!
I don't understand why stupid HTC design incompatible earphones for each different mobile phone!
expect we waste more money on better earphones and stereo adapters?
You got it in one, they make money by changing the design of them.
I've been waiting for this phone for a long time. How do you find it, is it worth the money etc..? Any pics? Feel free to PM me if you want instead.
Sorry I don't have another mobile phone with good camera now.
I am afraid you cannot buy it. This is a "test only" phone.

Hey does anyone know where to get or what size the 3.5mm (Length wise) headset jack is? It seems to be longer than the standard 3.5mm Headset jack. Is this on all Chinese branded phones? Any info is appreciated.
Thanks

Heres a picture I took.
The white headphone cable came with the phone, and is slightly longer and so fits in the phone properly. The black headphone cable is standard 3.5mm and does not fit in the phone properly.
It would be great if anyone else had any info on this, or maybe some headphones with longer 3.5mm, or an adapter?
I think it would be possible to make a DIY adapter out of the headphones they give you but that would be quite inconvenient
Yeah this is a design flaw, I think once they manufactured the phones and found out the 3.5mm problem they put a cheap pair of 3.5mm headphones with a longer plug that would fit, and shipped it with the phone. At first I thought my jack was broken, than I found the design problem. I would have preferred a modified adapter that would allow standard 3.5mm headphones, since they went ahead and shipped it anyway!
This is the difference between some Chinese design/manufactures, vs USA, Japan, German. The attention to detail. This would have not made it out the door with this problem. But then again it would cost 3 times as much also!
Hi,
Is Sennheiser CX300-II, compatiable with i9000 model. I am planning to buy it, but not sure whether it is compatible or not..
yes galaxy i9000 is compatible with any headpohne you can buy...
thanks... recently i bought sony ericsson MH-610. It is not compatiable with i9000
Must have been setup using the iPhone TRRS layout and not the regular one. There are tiny crossover adapters you can get for earphones like this.

Personally, I'm using a set of SoundMagic E10's as they are both inexpensive and high quality. http://www.head-fi.org/t/635436/soundmagic-e10-vs-sennheiser-cx-300-ii
For good quality adapter, check the FiiO LU1 and LU2 adapters.
I am using LU2 with Sony MH1c, which are really fantastic earphones for the price. Have not heard CX300-II, but did hear CX300 and was not impressed with it's sound which lacked details and control.
There is also Sony MH1, which have the SE Xperia pinout, which is the same as in SGS.

I formerly used these for my I9000, and they worked fine. I'm now using the CX400-II for better sound, and they also work fine (also the volume rocker works).
Had them, worked fine, but after 3 months or sth they started to lose their sound and especially their volume!
Figured I'd share what I found while surfing for headphone amps.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/658619/fireye-mini-review
The new Firestone Audio Fireye Mini is one of the smallest headphone amplifiers in the world, and offers improved sound quality across the board with all iPod, iPad, iPhones and virtually any MP3 player with a 3.5mm headphone output.
No matter if you have an iPod Touch or an iPod Nano, the Fireye Mini will provide you with better sound quality, with improved bass response and authority, and the ability to drive a more difficult load than woudl otherwise be possible.
The Fireye Mini could not be easier to use, simply charge via USB connection to your computer, and then connect to the headphone output of your portable music player, to enjoy great sound on the go.

This thing is TINY. And apparently it'll give a small volume boost, but the impressive thing is that since it has more power, you get more clarity and better bass. And it goes for ~20 hours on rechargeable battery, which is kinda neat.
$40 at Amazon Prime and available in like six different colors.

Yeah, it's the little tiny purple box in this pic. Also available in black & other various colors.

NOTE: This will NOT work with microphones. So if your headphones have mics, then you can use this with the headphone but the microphone won't work as long as this is attached.
I just recently came back from trip which required air travel. Like most I decided to load up my device with some movies to watch on the trip. I brought several sets of headphones with me including a wired set. I found no matter which set I used I could not hear scenes where the characters talked very low due to the noise of the jet engines. I stumbled across these headphones by Coulax which are affordable and have a well designed ear piece to block out outside noise. The sound quality is very good and the build is good quality. They link together around your neck magnetically to secure them when not in use. They can be found for under $30 in many places.

After using them a bit more here are a few more thoughts: The packaging was appropriate for shipment to avoid any damages in transit. Included is a pouch carrying case. I have been sharing them with the rest of my family and they all enjoy the sound quality and now we seem to be fighting over who gets to use them when since the noise cancellation is so good. too.
Pros:
Excellent noise cancellation with earbud design
Very good sound quality, excellent highs and lows
Lightweight
Magnet secures them on your neck when not in use
Low cost
Good battery life
Cons:
Power button is not perfect - you need to press more on one side than the center
Out of curiosity, does your M9 Micro-stutter over bluetooth? Usually over the course of an hour I can have my bluetooth micro-stutter 3-7 times per hour.
