hey, i wonder if there's anyone who knows where to find sound (db) level measurement app for X1?
Impossible..
The microphone isnt calibrated in any way or form..
Its like reading a thermomiter with no scale on it.
signed... me.. a profesional sound tech.
Iphone has this app and it works pretty good.

Happy owner of a Focus here:
Just have a quick question regarding sound settings or an equalizer of some sort in WP7 - unfortunately I think I have the answer after a brief search. Is there no way to at least bump up the bass settings? When listening to music, sound comes out a little "low" for my tastes (but not unacceptable). When watching video however, the sound comes out really low, even when maxed out.
Can anyone confirm there's no way to adjust this in WP7 settings?

Yeah, HTC have an app where you can do that so either we need to wait for an app (don't know if that would happen as HTC would get special access to the phone probably)
Interesting... I guess it's more likely that MS or Samsung would put something out?
yea only for HTC devices.. like when u open market using a htc you would see HTC apps.. eq its there.. does help on my hd7...a lot...but hey u have a lot more features/settings to play on your camera than i do.. hd7 is very limited .
Hello.
The Motorola Defy, when used with PowerAMP, seems to sound reasonably good.
But... when you adjust PowerAMP's preamp and the EQ and get the volume to sound a lot higher than what you get with the stock player/media effects ... some songs sound distorted.
On the other hand... I've read about the Samsung Galaxy S and it's apps "Voodoo Sound" and "Galaxy Tuner".
Those apps seem to manipulate the hardware directly (instead of software preamp & EQ like PowerAMP seems to do). Apparently the Samsung has a dedicated Wolfson audio chip, so I suppose that's why they can do all of that.
So... the question is... can something of this be applied to a Motorola Defy? Even if it doesn't have any dedicated sound chip, could the hardware be manipulated in some way to achive something like what the Samsung apps do ?
I'm also remembering some mp3 players that could deliver more volume, but due to local european laws were forced to lower their output power... and then some people hacked the firmware and "erased" this limitation.
What I would like is, basically, more power, more volume thru the earphones. Could this be possible for the Motorola Defy ?
A side-note..
I am always curious when someone wants to have their media player louder:
Why?
Have you messed up your hearing somehow? Don't you use earplugs or headphones? Do you listen to music in very noisy environments... while vacuum cleaning perhaps?
That said, perhaps you could be a bit more specific as to what the applications for the Galaxy do exactly if you want to mimic their functionality on the Defy.
I think he's refering to hacks that adjust the frequency respon or/and adjust the software directly tied to the hardware for a more hi-fi experience. Not just meaning getting higher volume or changing eq-settings.
Just googled real quick and come cross this:

I don't know of any mods/hacks but PowerAMP is able to play flac files.
Cyanogenmod includes a dsp app.
It has equalizer etc. pp.
You can also use it on other roms with root, afaik... (had it on hd2 sense rom) just google.

I wan't my music played louder because... I wan't it played louder.
OK, I'll explain it to satisfy your curiosity
I usually play music when I'm working in loud or busy environments and I need to "focus" (intended pun, as I'm a photographer). I can't use canal earphones, so I sometimes need to use higher volume levels... wich the Defy doesn't seem to have, or at least not without distortion/clipping.
Regarding being more specific... don't you find specific enough the names of the 2 apps I've already given ?
Voodoo Sound
Galaxy Tuner
They work together and can adjust the Galaxy's headphone amplifier analog gain, thus increasing the volume noticiably without distortion, or so it seems.
These programs adjust some parameters in the Galaxy's audio chip, so the quality of the resulting sound is apparently better than waht you get from software EQ.
You can find a more complete explanation about all the possibilities here:
galaxyroot.com/guide-how-to-set-voodoo-sound-and-galaxy-tuner
(can't post links yet)
I can live with Defy's audio quality, but I'd want to prevent the distortion and the clipping I get when using PowerAMP to increase the volume.

Exactly that. I want to know If it is possible to do that (or something close to that) with Defy's audio hardware.

The DSP app makes software adjustments. It can't prevent clipping or distortion... it can do a better job than PowerAMP, at best, though I really doubt that.
--------
In short: I wan't to know if it's possible to adjust parameters of the Defy's audio hardware to improve the sound. What "normal" audio apps do is simply adjust the audio data via software manipulation, but they're bounded by what the hardware allows.
I want to tweak the hardware (or, better said, the software that the hardware runs internally)
So... the "developers" part of this forum is just a wish... nobody knows a word about this ?

The "developers" are busy "developing" software and are not here simply for your beckon call when you want something made.

So what's the point in having a forum for people so busy that can't visit the forum or answer any questions ?
We'll... at least you weren't doing anything important. Thanks for answering... though I expected a more informative answer... but, alas, you're not a busy software developer developing software.
Does anyone know of anything I could flash or. Possibly change in the build prop to improve the speaker quality. Basically just trying to make my notification and ringers sound better overall.

Umm no, the speaker itself is the limitation, not software. Put a 3-way speaker in there and it will sound better, but obviously you aren't going to find a three way speaker thats less than a centimeter big.
Using cdma workshop you can change the volume levels of the speakers. Just do a search for it. Also u need to be on a sense rom to use dialer codes.
Support TrevE !!
As the title says. When recording for slomotion the standard speed footage has sound, but as soon as I do the slowmotion there is no sound. I know on the iPhone the sounds also gets slo-moted (if that's a word xp) wich gives it a nice effect. So is this something HTC just left out?
Yes, I love the sound on iPhone though.
I'll have to bump this up as I like the sound too any ideas anyone ?
Hi,
I recently got a S21 FE and while I'm pretty happy with it, I feel like the speakers are far below acceptable.
Up until now I owned an, by now 5 years old, Huawei mate 10 plus. It was a middle class phone with normal speakers - nothing fancy. However the sound quality is still much better. It got some "Stereo+" setting that only activates in landscape + certain volume but it improves it a lot.
Since there is no additional hardware build into it, it has to be done by software. Is there a way to get a similar effect on Samsung phones? I tried the build in equalizer but it didn't do much nor did it really improve things.

Whiteout root no
Could you explain why not? I do not need the exact feature, I just want a similar sound which should be possible with equalizers or something similar, or not?

Codecs , replacement and tweaks like this I know. Equaliser settings not enough https://github.com/Briclyaz/NLSound_module_QCom example
In the settings for the tone:
Switch off "Dolby Atmos"
Set the Equalizer to "Jazz"
Like this you will have a much more warm speaker sound.
Additionally you can try Poweramp Equalizer from google play store. It's got a load of features for the equalizer.
I'm using Wavelet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pittvandewitt.wavelet
It's a good alternative to Viper without root
Also jetAudio player has a lot of audio settings
