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.

Nope, the S Plus has a Qualcomm chip, im going to look inside the Service manual, wich one exacly.

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 also read most reviews out there about the Note III and none of then mentioned anything about it.

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)

Well you've just educated me on a feature that I love but had no idea what it was..
I downloaded an update for the ant+ software just last night..
Now excuse me while I go off to find and ant+ compatible heart rate monitor to pair with my UK N9005..

I think all version of the N3 have ant. My Garmin HR monitor works with the ant app. And my N3

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.

Has anyone had any luck using NextRedio apk on HTCU11 to avoid data streaming?
How shall that work when HTC removed their FM Transmitter since the HTC10?
Some phones like Samsung Galaxy S8+ with S835 chipset can use NextRadio to get FM radio OTA?
If you have HTC U11 please just check?

It doesn't work, as Jan says, I've tried it.

Hello everyone,
This is a work in progress thread meant to gather info about how to add hotword detection support while the screen is off and the processor is in deep sleep. Ideally, this will work just like the Pixel devices by Google, so you'll be able to get to the assistant by saying "Ok Google" without turning on your device.
Let's start off with the first big question: Is the hardware that's required to do this in our devices?
Well, not every device. I have only looked into Qualcomm SoCs, but this is also possible with some Exynos processors through S Voice.
Qualcomm first added support for Hotword detection with the Snapdragon 800. The only device prior to that processor that had support for Hotwords was the first gen Moto X, which had its own Custom chip separate from the processor. However, my research indicates that all devices after the Snapdragon 800's launch use the processor's DSP for this job.
You can view the announcement of this feature for the Snapdragon 800 at this link:
https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2...akes-mobile-world-snapdragon-voice-activation
In the blog post, the feature is mentioned as Qualcomm Voice Activation. I also found out that this was eventually also backported to the Snapdragon 600. However, looking elsewhere online reveals that this has other names as well, as it is part of Qualcomm Fluent PRO and All-Ways Aware. There are marketing videos for both online, and they all work with the Hey Snapdragon hotword. However, it seems that all of these features are part of the Hexagon DSP on the actual SoC and that they are compatible with v5 and up. So that means that technically all processors in the 600, 700 (in the future) and 800 line should be able to do this.
As far as I'm aware, the only device that uses the Hey Snapdragon wakeup command is the OnePlus One, which has a Snapdragon 801. On its default firmware, CyanogenMod 11S, you could go into the device's settings and train the device by saying Hey Snapdragon three times. Then, you could select the activity that would run every time you said it.
Someone on XDA updated this feature for newer firmware versions and looking at the flashable zip files it has one application file, a modified mediaserver, a modified audio library for its processor and some lib files for voice detection. I haven't attempted to Port this feature for any other device, but I doubt that it would work, even on devices with the same SoC.
I have also looked at Qualcomm's forums and found this thread which has a reply with links that could probably help us out here:
https://developer.qualcomm.com/foru...timedia-optimization-hexagon-sdk/speech/28153
This is source code from the Google Pixel and AOSP which might be the solution to making this work. I am not familiar with C and AOSP's code, so if someone with more experience could check this out, that would be great!
Lastly, I want to mention that I have a couple of devices that could help with testing including my daily driver Xiaomi Mi 5 (Snapdragon 820), a now retired LG G2 (Snapdragon 800) and a Galaxy S7 Exynos which should be able to use S Voice for this but I have not tested it yet. My friend @David_#27 also has a Redmi Note 4X (Snapdragon 625) and I could probably also borrow a Redmi 4X (Snapdragon 435) if we ever need it for testing.
Hopefully we can get some more info on this topic from people that have looked into this more than I have. Please reply to this topic with any info you may have, any help is very much appreciated! Making this work eventually on our devices would be incredible!
Thank you
XDA Labs bugged out and posted the thread twice. Could one of the two please be deleted or closed by the mods? Thanks.
Ok... Alternative F4??
