Develop Bugs

[Update - new beta out 25/10/11] PowerAMP NEW beta - amazing update!

[Update 25/10/11]:
Beta 2&3 out - changelogs and download links here
Quick heads up about this update.
FINALLY my SGSII can read genre tags properly (previously EVERY player took its tag reading from the systems way of reading tags, resulting in genre tags being messed up which really bugs me as I predominantly like to listen by shuffling a genre! FLAC tags also now work properly).
More details and download links 9no warez) here: AndroidNZ: PowerAMP 2.0 Beta Quietly Released

tis should be a great update

Just downloaded it, really smooth and looks great. (had to reboot before it worked).
Going to do some more testing while driving home later. i saw that the lockscreen changed a bit.. looks quite good now.

I *LOVE* it.
Thanks

Dude its so easy to make your expired version not expired .... like all you have to do is go buy the software from the market ... I know man its such an exploit. You just go give the developer money for investing hundreds if not thousands of hours in writing an amazing piece of software and then supporting it. Tell everyone you know about this "hack"

Been out a while. Still needs a few improvements tbh!

Yeah, when I found out I was extremely surprised to see it had escaped my notice for so long.
What improvements were you thinking of? There are a few things I can think of, but this feels remarkably 'finished' for a beta.

Updated first post with video.

I wish he would have implemented the alphabetized letters at the scroll bar, so we can select the letter of the artist instead of scrolling to it.
I definitely like the black neon theme, it looks so good now, I wasn't a huge fan of the bright neon blue fonts. This looks amazing with the black background.
Edit: After listening to the beta with my custom in ear monitors, I think I can agree that the sound has improved, not as drastic as upgrading to 2.3.5, but I think the music has more clarity and separation.
Good stuff!

Agreed on the alphabetising, strange omission that one - there is Search now though which helps compensate somewhat.

PowerAmp since the beginning. Jeez it's such a nice player!

Oh really? I must have missed out on the search function, will check.
I was really used to using my blackberry for music, where I can press the first letter of the name of artist I want on the physical keyboard, I don't even have to scroll.

i have the full version of the paid for app... how do i get the beta and will it be a trial period?

The beta recognises a paid license, head to the blog post for details and download link.

Using now, jeez theres alot of options.
So far so good.

Do as Nztech says, download the .apk, and find it under your files, click and install it.

Just had a comment on the video that enabling DVC gave one person seriously reduced volume - anyone else able to reproduce this? I can't, volume decreases momentarily and then increases to at least the same volume as without DVC (maybe louder, no headset on me to test right now).

Ah finally PowerAMP looks nice. Thanks for the info

Speaker on phone, really that bad?

I know the Nexus was released today,and instead of asking questions, I should be out getting it, but I feel that I need to ask this question before I go ahead and get it.
The speaker for the speaker phone and audio playback.....is it really as bad as reviewers say? I only ask because I use the speaker on my phone about 2-3 hours per day listening to podcasts, music and such. As silly as it sounds, it is really high on the make or brake list of the phone.
Also, in this same realm, did the update that is being pushed out doing anything for it? I am just curious if it is actual hardware or just software. I know, with my Touchpad, when running WebOS, sound comes out of the speakers perfectly, but when I boot up the CyanogenMod based XRON ROM on it, it is rather awful and pretty much unusable. So, its obviously a software thing, not a hardware thing.
I don't mind waiting a bit to see if more users have more opinions on it, and worst case scenario, if need be, I wouldn't mind waiting until the Razr gets ICS, or at least the CyanogenMod version of it..
Thanks

I haven't had any issues with audio playback. I'm not entirely sure what issues your referring to either so perhaps you could clarify.
Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it. (coming from a HTC Desire)

There were several places I read it.
This was from this morning (http://tinyurl.com/cv932ov):
Galaxy Nexus speaker blows: The speaker on the Galaxy Nexus is basically useless and one of the worst speakers I have ever used on a phone. It is nearly impossible to use it as a speakerphone and forget about listening to music and podcasts without a headset or external speaker. Some have suggested it might be a software issue and I can only hope so since I can’t even use it with such low volume. The speakers on the iPhone 4S are much better and I have no complaints at all.
I remember both The Cell Phone Junkie and also someone on Android Central mentioning it as well, but with the 2 minutes of searching, I couldn't find it easily on their sites. Its seems people have complained about them being "tinny" and not great at high volumes..
From what it sounds, you have no problems with it at all?

its really not that bad but it improves drastically with the free volume + app

After having a read of that article I'm pretty sure this guy has a biased opinion. Many of these so called issues don't even make sense. For example, better camera (if you look at the example shots hardly any noticeable difference), speaker issue (none of what is stated I can relate to), display too big?(irrelevant, user preference) and 4s being a world phone (doesn't make sense as a GSM gnexus is available).
So basically I don't think this guy really knows what he's talking about. But this is only my opinion

I guess sitting here reading the internet all day at work is going to make my head spin and I should probably just go pick the thing up and actually try it out for myself.
Or, with a bad speaker, I guess that is a way to convince the wife to let me put wifi/bluetooth speakers throughout my house.

Ohh, I agree 100% that the article was written by an Iphone user, designed to draw people from Android to IOS. But, like I mentioned, I have heard it before and figured it was easy enough to ask in the forums about it.
I think most of the reviews have come from the GSM version, to there might be a software upgrade that might have helped it..

Yea but..... That's another 6 envious hours of sitting at my desk reading about people getting it.. I want it now..

Another Vote for Volume+

Its not bad. Its just not very loud. Shoulda called it quiet speaker.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I never thought my Incredible's speaker was really loud, but it always worked good enough for what I needed. Maybe I just need a Jawbone or some sort of Bluetooth speaker... That would solve all the issues if I couldn't stand using the one on the phone..

speaker is fine, used it all day so far... I'm fairly critical about speakerphones and music, and it sounds fine... no samsung phone has a "great" speaker, but this one is tolerable

how the OP3 handle Loud sound(concert) recordings

hi , im new to XDA so hello to everyone
one question which is very important to me .
im attending to A LOT (!) concerts and partys , almost always its electronic music .
and im wondering how the OP3 handle the loud sound in a club/concert ?
if its bad there is any way to get a proper sound ?(maybe a mod or something) ..
i think its important for more people and i couldnt find any proper answer or solution for this , thanks !

Bad, really bad.

BS.
If you want to record video, you could indeed run into issues because in the camera app there is no manual gain control.
You could hack the gain via the noise suppression fix and editing values in a file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/mod-oneplus-3-audio-mods-t3407025), but that's not really practical...
If you record audio only, there are several good apps which allow to set the gain for excellent results even at high volume levels. No problem.
And, regardless which kind of recording you do, think of one important thing: Music is copyrighted, and musicians need to earn money. So don't spread your recordings without permission from the artists!!!
(And don't record if the musicians don't explicitly allow it!)

That has always been the case with these pure stock roms. Even Nexus devices have always been ****ty. Samsung does a good job.

I think is software but you gotta take into consideration who uses these stock android devices. It is either android geeks that spend most of their time flashing new roms or fanboys that will never admit there are flaws. So Google always gets away with crappy sound recording because noone ever complains or noone ever tries. Most of these people just use the phone for texting and flashing roms. It is sad but that's the truth. If you want the real package get a Samsung or an iPhone or HTC if you can stand Sense.

You can try via their forum but as I said I have seen this through all nexus devices and my guess would be that the whole stock android code is not adequate enough for recordings at concerts.

Is LineageOS finally arriving?

I was viewing the download page on the Lineage site and noticed several references to "android_device_motorola_nash" in the changelog. Does this mean Nash in the works? I could not find Z2 force in the list of devices, but why else would the changelog reference Nash?
I sure hope it happens. If Lineage rolls out, others may soon follow.

When there's a will there's a way. It boots... Sort of... It has things needing fixed before it can be officially released. It has too many bugs to release.

This is a good sign indeed! ROM's are sorely lacking on this device. I've been debating whether to get TMO's deal @ $375, but lack of ROM support has kept me from pulling the trigger so far. Coming from Nexus 6 where I was quite spoiled....
Thx!

The price and the fact it can be rooted on T-Mobile is worth it for me. I pulled the trigger. I'm waiting on the device to ship, but I already have the battery mod waiting.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I might head to TMO asap. The battery mods and gamepad intrigue me. I may stick with Moto for a long time if the mods work out.
Can you (or anyone) answer these questions?
How does the speaker sound? Is it good at high volumes?
Do the Mods stay on good and tight? Do they ever fall off.....perhaps if phone dropped?
Thx again.

If you drop it the mods fall off, otherwise they are rock solid on and are actually sometimes hard to switch. The JBL speak is loud and sounds amazing. I've never used the internal speaker lol

Thx! Good to know. I ended up buying this phone and I am pretty happy with it so far....but it does have its shortcomings. I swear Moto must have done this on purpose so you buy more mods. I would not have been happy if I paid full price, but TMO deal is a steal at half off. Amazon has it even cheaper.
For the record, the speaker sounds like crap esp at high volumes.....crackles a bit.

I want to try Viper, but I am afraid to root right now in case my speaker is actually faulty. I read a couple comments that complained about a bad speaker, one of which was exchanged under warranty.

If Moto is anything like HTC, a hardware defect wouldn't matter with a software unlock. I haven't personally tried but most companies who openly unlock their phones can make a good judgement if locked phones have same issue. Like the purple camera incident on the M7, HTC didn't care about lock status since it was a known defect.

I know this is old, but I just saw it, have to say, it's HILARIOUS, when I lob the phone on the floor to show people it's durable and things fly off of it lol.
It freaks them out.

EMUI 9.1 killed sounds loudness

As many mentioned, the volume is much lower after the update.

Do we really need a separate thread on this ? Not trying to be rude but there's multiple threads where people have reported the issue. And personally my volume sounds the exact same as it did on 9.0

It was way too loud when I played game even at the lowest volume. Now it acts much more like what it should be to me.

Agreed. I prefer it like this as well. The phone is still quite loud when needed.

I got it fixed, probably by itself.
I played a song in PowerAMP and launched a game, then the game got very loud and stayed that way.
All good now
