(Q) Dre Beats & Ludacris Soul

Is there any way to get these ear buds working on the xplay? They both work on my Droid X and a Rezound (obviously) , PSP, wife's iPhone. Even tried the adapter that came with my xplay and it does nothing.

I think he meant Beats by Dre ear buds, not the program...

That would be correct. I've tried iBeats, Tours and the SL99 Soul from Luda and they all give me the "accessory not supported " error. If i use the adapter that came with the phone then I don't get the error but the sound plays from the phone speaker instead.

I've been there. I have some Beats in ears myself and they never worked. I even bought some Sony ear buds and even with the adapter they still don't work and give that same "accessory not supported" error. I've tried both of those, Bose QC2's, Sennheiser HD 201's and the only ear phones that ever worked in my play was my Samsung ear-bud w/ microphone headset from my old Samsung Omnia i900.
I saw on here a while ago that there is a fix. It has something to do with the polarity from plug being backwards (or something)...

I think Sony could've polished some things out a little better for this phone. Big one being support of accessories like these headphones since other android devices support them. Even ones made before this phone.

I agree! I even tried using my old HTC Aria headphones(which I still like better than new earbud crap) with my play and I get "not supported" message, so I know how ya feel. I think i would be kinda pissed if I can't use my newer expensive Beats Headset(if I had them).

Increase bluetooth volume and quality

Is there anyway to get louder bluetooth volume on a phone call and better quality.. I had the sammy victory 4g and volume was crazy loud and quality of sound was amazing for a cheap low end phone

havent really noticed any issues on my lg tones, jambox or my bt head unit....what are you connecting to?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I am using a blue parrot headset.

I'm using a Plantronics Voyager Legend and the volume does seem a little low even at maximum. It can be a bit staticy sometimes as well. Neither issue is so bad as to be annoying though. I had thought that the issue was with the Plantronics, but I suppose it's just as likely that the problem is with the Note. I haven't searched for a solution yet.

I have tried my headset with my wifes gs3 and my old phone photon and it is crazy louder with those phones, then I connect if back to my note2 and the voice prompt and commands are loud but when on a phone call isnt nearly as loud....

Silly question...but did you turn it up? I think there is a setting that adjusts in call volume to a lower level by default
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I've seen the same thing. Its a software thing because on Jellybomb 5.1 the volume us definitely louder but still not loud enough. My same BT headset was much louder on my Evo and is much louder on my WP7.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Ya I just wish I was smart enough to figure it out I have tried multiple Bluetooth headsets and all them get quiet when you start taking but use thm on other phones and are louder
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Any super smart developer that can figure this out there has to tweaks somewhere to increase the max volume
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I would Definitely say its a problem with the note. The volume is way low on a call. I use a Moto hx550 and my GS3 worked great with it.
I have been following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931970
and tried the tweaks by editing manually, but it didnt help bluetooth volume. So I'm either not tweking the right volume values or there will have to be another solution found. Its frustrating, but hopefully something will come out of one of these threads...

I have an issue with my Note 2 Bluetooth quality as well. Using Motorola Elite Silver. Seems to be perfectly fine with playing music and as soon as I initiate a call the quality degrades their voice breaks up as well as mine. Works fine with other devices, currently have tried on a couple different ones in the Sprint store I work at.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

What rom/kernel are you running? If its a tw rom with a compatible kernel you could try STweaks.
It has an option to increase standard volume limits.

Hmmm, its got to be rom related then. If your headset works fine on a different phone, then thats all thats left. There is one last option for you
I use a jawbone icon I got fron ebay.
What really made the difference for me...jabra ear gels. They look crazy! But they hold inside the ear without a hook. An it tunnels the sound dramatically. $6 for a full set left and right.
Honestly bud, this made night and day difference! Sadly their not available in any store anymore. But online everywhere!
If sound is this much an issue for you. I would say the $6 is worth a try.

There should really be a VLC-like setting on all ROMs that allows you to go above 100% on bluetooth volume if you choose to.

Galaxy Note II speakers sound like breaking?

I got my galaxy note II today and im so happy! Way better then my galaxy s III.
okay I just have 1 little problem. Whenever I put my sound volume max like listening to a song on youtube or if im talking to someone on the phone using speakers. It sounds like its going to break. does anyone have that problem?

I do.. its especially bad when hooked up to my fm transmitter. Im sure its just software related though.

A speaker cracking is in no way software related. It is related to the horrible quality of the speaker.

I don't have that issue...I would take it back for an exchange. Sounds like a defective speaker.

Its the audio chip within the Note 2. ALL Note 2s do this so replacing it wont do much. Look it up for yourself. Its most noticeable at max volumes even with earphones in.

Mine is perfect idk what you guys are talking about ?!

Ditto
Mine sound fine to me over speaker or headphones.

Mine sounds so bad. I've never hear a speaker on a phone that sounds this bad but I traded my Nexus 4 for this Note 2 and the speaker isnt a "huge" deal to me. I wounder if i replace it how long it will last until it blows again... Anyone know if the speaker is under warranty?

louder volume?

this is the only thing i have always hated about Samsung iis the damn volume is just not loud enough without a amp....
that was the only thing i would give iPhone that they did right even the iPod app is really loud.....
are there any apps that can boost the voulme i want my music loud as hell thats how i like it
im using power amp now and while yes its great its just not loud enough and its even worse if i use pandora
i am using cleanrom atm so any twaeks that i can have would be great thanks very much ^^
my wife i got her the HTC evo and it has beats audio which make the phone loud as hell so anything like that would be great

I flashed a htc rom w/ beats audio and worked i believe the audio part is done by beats software/equilizer.

is it loud i really don't belive into the beats hype that they give i just want the volume loud

No not much difference it just had some bass to it. and using headphones made it sond crisp.
It didnt get louder though, my evo had already been loud. Maybe yours is not outputting enough power(hardware fault?)

I guess I could Recommend the Jedi xp12 Rom, it comes with Voodoo Sound which works really good. :good:

I dont have any problems on my note 2 with the volume level. However on my gs3 I did. I use fauxsound .

It requires a supporting kernel. Ask the in your rom thread if it is supported. If not you can refer the kernwl creator to the above link it has instructions for adding it to the kernel.

I use volume plus from the play store. Works great for me.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

I used this and it made every sound louder but not distorted. Very easy to do.
Headphones are louder and so is the internal speaker.
I used the ULTRA mod.

Turn it up a little at a time til you find the max with no distortion
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium

Try this:
Install equalizer app from market.
Open the app and raise all 5 bars to max.
Done.
For mp3: use pre amp feature of players like poweramp.

What quality is your music at? What kind of head phones are you using? I say this because my set up I have to turn down because it's too loud.

I use Poweramp + Audio Technica M60.

Try this (attachment)@PowerAMP equalizer.
Also check your audio file quality.
