Just curiuous about the sound quality of the Oppo find 7 compared with those devices carrying the Wolfson DAC .
Regardin headset output
Anyone?
I don't know about headphones but all i know is this phone has the loudest and clearest speakers i have ever seen on a smartphone. I have owned all of the galaxy models, droid dna, xperia z2, optimus g pro, nexus 4, huawei mate; to name a few. Besides the HTC Boom sound i don't think many others come close. Most of the time it is literally too loud for general use at full volume.
Thanks
But I am really interested on the headset sound quality.
No external speaker can match my JBL portable ( for phones) ..
.
Actually, it would be interesting to know what is the it's the impact (if any)of the cooperation between Waves and Wolfson ( http://www.analog-eetimes.com/en/mo...-technologies.html?cmp_id=7&news_id=222905459 ) on the find 7, since the Snapdragon processor got its own DAC...

This is my second device with Snapdragon DAC(first was a Xiaomi Mi-2) and both has a very good sound output with well balance equalizer and 0 distortion. MaxxAudio and DiracHD(in ColorOS) it's DSP and as well they put they signature efects and equalizer, this things I don't like. Comparing to Wolfson DAC in my Galaxy devices ,my iPhone 1st gen and my iPod I can't complain about quality and power output, of course they have diferent signatures of sound but every DAC and headphone has too.

I am also not that impressed with this "award winning" maxxaudio thing and I wonder if it's any better than Viper4Android as a DSP manager.
I guess I just have to take my headsets to a showroom and run some tests on another device carrying probably the same Qualcomm built-in DAC such as the HTC 1 M8.
However it could be that the HTC got another amp implementation ......

As a DSP manager MaxxAudio has a good performance and serve for his purpose that is general public and even Viper has a profile that's similar to it. Equalizers and DSP are fairly wrong because they aren't correct anything but adding something that they don't need used and makes even a great DAC like Wolfson sounds bad.
I'll be able to give you subjective views soon enough
I own the SGS3 (with Boeffla sound) and have the Oppo Find 7 coming to me within a week.
I own the Modded D2Ks (essentailly D5Ks) and Audeo Phonak PFE232s

Hey there!
Here's my impressions - I just got the phone today and have been playing around with it.
It's almost 3am here and I've got work tomorrow at 9 lol!
Sound impressions: extremely positive, it sounds great!
If I had to compare, I would say (and this is being EXTREMELY analytical of the sound, A/Bing and trying to listen out to certain parts of songs - difference isn't that obvious):
-S3 has a more meatier sound, little more bass emphasis
-S3 and Find 7 have the same output volume (or very close to it)
-Oppo Find 7 is more mid centric
-S3's soundstage is slightly wider/deeper
-Highs seem very similar
Notes:
-Tests conducted un-amped with my heavily modded D2Ks
-This was tested with the S3 using DeltaROM that has Boeflla kernel, but I made sure to disable Boeffla sound in the configurator, before stating the above results. (With Boeflla enabled, the S3 wins in every way, hands down)
-Oppo Find 7 is running stock ROM Colour OS 1.2.6i.
-Both are running Poweramp (unlocked) with flat EQs
-Both phones are on Android 4.3
End of the day, there's an extremely slight difference between the two. It isn't something like the S2's (yes numero dos) horrible chipset (as far as I'm, aware subjectively speaking), but nor is it better sounding than the S3 nor the beast the S1.
It lies between the S2 and S3's sound. Great but not as good I guess.
I listen to music a heck of a lot on my phone and I think I'll cope with with this initial listen - in other words, it's not something that will make me put it down, it's something I'll stick to and happily listen to
On a separate note: the Oppo Find 7 is an amazing phone, blistering fast, charging was ridiculously good, the camera is decent (especially the front facing one) and the Colour OS skin is the best Android skin I've ever come across (ie HTC's Sense and Samsung's TW).
However, I'm a little disappointed by its overall brightness levels , lack of pull-down notification customisation and little washed out colours.
other than those three points (which can all potentially be sorted out via a custom rom), the phone is so far flawless

No problem.
I am new at the Find 7 forums ( here and there) and I didint even get my Find 7 yet, but if I were you I would not compare the screen with a sAmoled device...and... just flash a CM or AOSP rom to check if the issue is softwarewise
If it's not the hardware, I guess a firmware upgrade will do ( if you want to stick with stock)

Dont forget to report back
Since it's a bit off-topic ( no big deal ) you could start a dedicated thread here at the XDA
My Find 7 is probably arriving tomorrow...
I hope it's from a new batch, even if it's coming from England and not China ....:fingers-crossed:

flashed nameless - seems like the same thing in terms of brightness - I'm just wondering if it's a device/glass thing, rather than anything else....I'#ms tarting to doubt myself.
But each time I see comparisons on YouTube, the S5 and Oppo look identical in brightness
Btw: Nameless is RIDICULOUSLY fast !
Hi guys.
i am planing to buy new phone but i cant decide between Meizu MX4 pro and Asus zenfone 2.
I love Asus product and they have great support but reviews i have watched people are complaining about Display is very dimmed and it is very bad for outdoor using!
How correct is it?I mean how bad is it for outdoor use??Also they have mentioned Speaker volume is low?is true???
if you can share your experience with your device and advise me to choose between Asus Zenfone 2 or Meizu MX4 pro???
i ll really appreciate that.Thanks a billion in advance
Hmm Many users here said the opposite lol I actually drop brightness below min with an app. External speaker is underaverage. Its possible to boost it though.
Pretty sure that Asus Zenfone will receive better support from both parties, oem and xda.
Hi I've got the zf2 and I love this Fone yes the display is dim but wen out I always put it on full brightness and can see screen fine sound is loud 2 me a call like loud speaker wen I have a text or a call is quite loud 2

Thanks so much guys.Gearbest has got special 269$ included free shipping for 4gb model.i think it is bargain.
Hi, I'm thinking about getting the Mi Max and I'm hoping you would be able to answer some of my questions.
1. I heard there are some connectivity issues.
2. Does is have gorilla glass 3 or 4?
3. Does it bend?
4. Is the build quality good?
5. How durable is it?
Are the any more issues that are not listed on here?
Cheers,
Jeff
What exactly do you mean by "Does it bend"? Is there any phone that does that by design? How can a phone made of metal possibly bend & still work? If I'm reading this right, you need a belt pouch for this phone, if thats what you are asking. Keeping this phone in the pocket is not a great idea. Although I dint find any difficulty so far except when getting in & out of my jean pockets when inside the car.
I kept reading & hearing about these connectivity issues but never experienced it right from day one. When you get an android phone just do a factory reset, if possible twice.
Read my detailed comparison review over @ http://c.mi.com/in/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=10869&page=1&extra=#pid149561
Forget the gorilla 3/4/5 nonsense. I'd say just get it esp the 64 or 128GB Helium instead of the 32GB Hydrogen.
Its a steal for the performance & battery combo that this phone gives you. Tempered glass is not easily available atleast in India but easily procured online via ebay or aliexpress or gearbest.
The only issue on this phone is VoLTE(works only on MIUI so far) & MIUI itself regardless of whether 7, 8 or 9. So far I found RR5.7.3 to be the most stable & best performer followed by CM13-6.0.1(other than the few reboots i experienced while navigating via Maps/Waze/Here, its pretty stable). VoLTE works only on MIUI which sucks donkeys balls & has too many usability issues & bugs to be a daily driver. Its a great phone all around. I got around the VoLTE issue by using a modem which can route my calls & data via an app & happily use RR5.7.3. If I have to use VoLTE on the phone then I'll put it on sMIUI8 on my Kenzo. MIUI, while it has its good parts & moments, is too ****ty & downright irritating overall to be put on my dear Hydrogen.
P.S. I'm buying a Helium next. Its better to stock up on this phone. Such good hardware is hard to come by. Since Kenzo also has official CM support, its only a matter of time before hydrogen/helium also makes it to the official list. After that its gonna be RR or AICP all the way to never look back again.
What's the difference between helium and hydrogen?

Thanks for the reply.
OK. After a few months, I've one more gripe, with the Mi Max, is its sun light visibility which leaves a lot to be desired in bright sunlight even in winter. Ok forget the winter sunglare, even fluorescent light is causing a reflection. I dint notice it at all but after I recieved the Kenzo its become very apparent although not debilitating its hard to miss or not notice or feel the difference in visibility between the kenzo & hydrogen. I still standby my earlier post though. This is the only phone that can blast though the day with almost everything switched on including mild hotspot usage, it'll still get you though the day. Without hotspot you've to slowcharge it either through the night or fastcharge it in the morning. Thats how good this phone's battery backup is. I use navigation everytime i get into the car. So my GPS is always on while travel{navigating} except perhaps when I'm travelling by cab. So Helium is next in the list but only when they release the Global Dev version though.
With the sad demise of sMIUI, Now the only solution/option is xiaomi.eu if you want VoLTE. I want call record & autosync with cloud more than anything. VoLTE is just a bonus. So any Xiaomi phone I unlock ASAP & move to xiaomi.eu or GlobeROM(mi-globe.com) [which is based of xiaomi.eu BTW].
Hello everyone.
I was comparing the same video playing on Iphone 6 and LG g4 and iphone sounds really lowder when connected to a ear phone.
Do you know how to solve it? without rooting your mobile? (don't want to loose waranty on a phone like g4 that tends to break sooner or later).
Tks,
Nope, unlike the screen fix I posted HEREfor the sound I'm afraid you'll have to root. (there are "solutions" but none are worth it)
Seriously, i've bought the G4 today and it's really loud, to a point where it disturbs me, and i don't have my total audition, so i think you are going the same way i went.

The device speaker is waaay to high
the earphones on the other hand.....
Actually you can use one of the equaliser apps. I use Equalizer fx and it has a loudness function which helps a lot.

You can also use PowerAmp which is a music player (one of the most popular) and it includes an amplifier and equaliser. No root needed!

Men.. I was already talking about the earphones, not the about the speaker ..
Anyways, i got back the money I spent on the device, I was extremely unsatisfied, it came with a defective battery, they replaced it, then I started seeing screen burns.. so I was mad, and i got my money back.
Now I have the Redmi Note 3 Pro.
How is that phone?

Well, until now it's behaving really like I expected, the only throwback is if you want to take pictures in low light environment, the secondary camera is just awful, that primary one, you have to put it onto manual mode and of course pick the setting to have a decent photo.
I get a screen on time of 5 hours, consisted on gaming(light games), browsing , messaging, listening to music (play music) and going on YouTube, recording videos in slow motion and taking pictures .. Instagram .. Snapchat.. and all of sorts, never more than 20 minutes on this last 2.
This is just being the 3rd day im with it, but if you want, when it makes a full week, I can talk about the experience again ?.

The device is absolutely keeping up the expectations, and i know, it's more than the week that i mentioned, but i was busy studying for exams.
I have had the device completely standard till 28 october, it's absolutely good and it keeps up with the user demand, however sometimes i felt the necessity of cleaning manually the apps on RAM.
Since day 28, while i was waiting to have permission to unlock the bootloader, i upgraded from stock lollipop, to android marshmallow, the miui in beta state, the global one.
It's even better, but ok it have some bugs, but nothing you can't fix in a daily basis, and they are not so often, so i think it was worth it.
Then i wanted even more freedom and i installed TWRP and flashed nougat, the only issue i had was not being able to make phone calls , (because for some reason the mic turned himself off, and the earpiece also.) The rest is remarkable it's blazing fast, i didn't even was believing it was the same phone, so i'm really pumped up to see miui 9 based on nougat , it will be so, so AWESOME !
However.. the issue made me go back to marshmallow, but this time not a stock rom.
Hey Peeps,
I am planning to buy this phone very soon in India...!! As always expecting cool Development stuff to be started on this Phone. If anybody has bought the phone, it would be great if you could spark up the discussion here in the forums.
How good is the Display ?? How are the Dual Cameras ?? Battery Backup ?? stuff like this.
Hello! I'm from Brazil and I bought one, here are my review:
-The screen is very good, does have a good brightness control (low is very dark and high is very clear.
-Speaker is not stereo, but I believe they removed that option on past devices already, but is very loud for a one-speaker.
-Battery can reach to a entire day plus half the next day if you use it moderately.
-Does not have a dual camera, this option is only for G5 plus not G5S - but for a 16mp camera its very good, and the frontal one (5MP) looks it does have decent quality on daylight ( I did not tested on during the night), does have led flash on both sides (frontal led =) and backwards led)
-I tried the dual window function and I left twitch app running in pop-out mode (it like to have 3 windows at same time) and the phone did no have any problem to execute them.
- does not have NFC
-If I'm not doing it wrong if you have the dual version the external sd card can be put on sim 2 slot but you will lose the dual sim function.
thats it, overall I liked the device and covered most of my needs but I really miss a root/recovery and bootloader unlocked at least to use xposed functions which I miss the most. But lets hope somebody help us with cool devs stuff!
Any other question I might have missed, let me know!
Hope to help you in your decision =)
Hi. Got it Today in Germany. I'm very sad about there is Case Available in Germany. I haven't Unboxed it. Its Birthday Gift for my Daughter. Have you a Case or a Link for some?

Bought it today and so far I'm loving every aspect of it (my previous one was a Moto G 2014). I just really wanted to install TWRP and root but I only found methods for the G5S Plus. Does anyone know any way of doing it?
Got the phone for a few days now after destroying my Sony Z3 compact and like it so far. Camera and screen are very nice. Battery lasts 2 days so far, now at 29% on the 3rd day.
- does not have NFC

Not true. I used NFC to start the migration from the old phone.
Hello all!
Got G5s a couple of days ago; I'm moving from a Nexus4 and I was looking for an Android stock experience.
Pretty satisfied of phone: good screen and general usage, I'm loving fingerprint sensor and gesture associated to it!
I'm waiting for G5s modding because I'm missing root I hope G5s' threads will populate in next days...
I'm only disappointed about battery duration (just a full day, not more than this) but I have a strange battery consumption by 'Google Play services'... anyone has the same problem?
- Very pleased with the phone. It's less bulkier and does look better in real life than in review video's on youtube.
- Battery lasts almost two days and a turbocharger is included.
- Screen is beautiful. Had my S7 edge on 1080p default and in my opinion this is as good.
- Fingerprintreader is great and extremely fast (compared to the S7edge) and I like the swipe thing.
- Loudspeaker could be better but it's okay
- On apps like Plex and Netflix I do not loose my connection with the chromecast anymore
- Love the almost stock UI and the moto features
- 16mp camera is okay
I did install the moto key apk from the X4, so I can login to websites with my fingerprint. Lenovo should have made it available to the G5S too, because it just works, so why not include it.
Looking for a good phonecase now. Any suggestions?

+ aluminium unibody feels premium
+ fingerprint sensor is good
+ camera is OK, missing OIS
+ battery is good
- OS updates lag - no new ones for WIFI KRACK vulnerability. OS version is from June
- searching or case still
- speaker volume is average. Though good output.
Price performance is very good.
update came today. Oct 1 security patch and bugfixes.
I have few questions about this phone:
My phone will came to me tomorrow
Working fast? No lags with fb,messenger apps?
Games working OK? For example Asphalt 8 or Real Racing 3,much lagging?
