I was just curious about the sound quality of the Blue Angel. Many say that the Blue Angel's sound quality is very poor, when compared with Ipod. Please give your opinions and give suggetions to improve the sound quality of Blue Angel.
I am happy to listen mp3 on ba
BA can sound awesome. It is all in the headphones ou use. The vanilla headphones which come with it are average to good, but not great.
if you want GOOD sound, you have 3 options:
1) go to ebay and find an adapter to use headphones with standard plugs in the BA, as the BA has this special phone plug which is smaller. I have one of these adapters, it also comes with a button to initiate and terminate phone calls.
2) go to ebay and get yourself a blueclip, which is a bluetooth 'headset' without phones. you can plug whichever headphone (with a standard jack) you want in this one.
3) get a good stereo bluetooth headset.
1) and 2) are cheaper than 3), but require a wired headphone. The good on them is that you can choose a GOOD headphone (the ones which cost more than $10) to couple with the adapter. Depending on the headphone you choose, you might spend as much as in 3), but you will get the best possible sound going this way.
or do what i did and open up the inline controls/mic on the vanilla one, desolder the crap buds and solder on the buds from a decent set (i used some panasonic ones) amazing sound quality, beats any ipod/mp3 ive tried.
BA sounds great its a question of the sampling of the mp3
The sound of the BA is actually fairly decent (even without headphones). But I will agree with Midget and BrazilianJoe. The better your headset, the better the sound quality.
Thank You for Responses
Its very great idea to improve the Blue Angel's sound quality rather than going for Ipod. I'm on it thank you every one for your suggetions.
well, if you use the DSP ported from an ipaq, you can actually increase the bass and treble levels, which provides amazing sound even on the default pair of earphones
I have included it..just unzip it and use file explorer to put it somewhere(somewhere in the start menu)
I unzipped ur dsp and man the sound is awesome!! thanks Kamal.any more tweeks like this for enhancing the display?
thanks a million.

I think both the sound quality of them are poor. To improve the sound quality,you can buy a good headphone,such as Shure E2C or B&O A8,and download FLAC instead of MP3s.FLAC has a high quality,you can play it with PocketPlayer.
I prefer some MP3 players which have high sound quality or Hi-MD player to iPod.Like iAudio,iRiver and Kenwood,these brands' MP3 players have better sound quality.
BTW,you have to buy an adapter if you want to buy a good headphone.
i use pocket music(work like win amp).
but still use the dsp..
thanks

FLAC is a bit extreme; the amplifier in the phone blows goats and is very poor quality. Anything above mp3 160kbps is a waste on this phone IMHO. Most people cannot tell the difference between 160kbps on a blind sound test using decompressed tracks on CD. I can, but only on a decent system which the Blue Angel aint! ;-)
(iPod's sound is pretty poor as well however)
Thanks
Thank you kdskamal this works great!
By Far
The BA is by far a better choice vs the iPod.
Like the others have said, quality will depend on how the file was encoded and the hardware used to listen to the output.
Its my:
Cell Phone
Internet Phone
Internet Browser
MP3 Player
Email CLient
GPS reciever
Tasks, appointment, calendar, contacts, notes
PDF Viewer
Picture Viewer
Excel, Word, Powerpoint
AIM, Sype, MSM
with WiFi, BT, and IR
All with voice recognition.
So far beyond what the ipod is: Phone, MP3 player, and PDA in one.
BA vs Ipod? why not make BA as your ipod
I agree from above statement that BA functions covers all the ipod function and in addition to that why not make your BA looks more like ipdod when playing your favorite mp3. I have attached a skin for the window media player to make it looks like ipod. just unzip it to the windows media player skin folder then change the skin at the skin choosr option.
I am not quite good in testing sound quality but I am using ordinary earphone on my BA. The origina earphones of my BA was already broken and the sound quality is drasticaly ugly. So I cut the wires, throw the ear piece and mic and just used its 2.5 mm male jack and attach it to a 3.5 mm female jack so I can use high quality ear phone made by Sony or any other good manufacturers.
I have tried buying those ready made adopter 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm jack for PDA's, it does'nt work for the BA. Because BA's configuration is similar with nokia phone. So if your planning to buy a ready made adopter so you can use your existing head sets try to get those nokia compatible.
apple should stick to software

Macintels benchmark OS_X faster than true macs!
Apple is way over-priced everyone knows that, so much money for such entry level hardware. I think we all know Apple cuts corners just like M$.. who the heck would buy a $300 ipod just to listen to music or, when you can buy a great PPC/smartphone for less, that does everything besides go down on you!
If apple made a true ppc though i'd try it too bad they'd charge like $500 for something that resembles a bar of soap with a screen.
Steven ballmer said it best... "I, love, this...company!" haha
developers, developers, developers, developers!
let's not forget that ipod probably has Digital Right Management system in place, while TCMP on BA will piss on DRM and its owners.

The correct term is "Digital Restrictions Management". It has nothing to do with your rights other than taking them away. Please encorage people to use the correct term instead of the double-think marketing lingo.

Have you another version? Doesn't work on hX4705 WM 6 rev 4
THIS IS NOT A FIX, JUST A WORKAROUND FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO WATCH GOOD QUALITY MOVIES ON THEIR KAISER
SOME CONVERTING MAY BE REQUIRED
Hi All,
I'm posting this to try and help people who are in this large boat of people claiming their TyTN II plays movies terribly.
I know it's all over the forum at the minute, the fact that people can't seem to play movies on their TyTN II, however I experience more than acceptable movie performance, and this is what I do:
I ensure my movies are .avi (if not, I use Kingdia Video Converter which works wonders)
I then Shrink the videos down to QVGA size (using Ashampoo Movie Shrink & Burn). This ensures that the file size is small, and quality is adjusted for that "just right" viewing size on the phone screen.
And to play them I use TCPMP with the FLV 0.4.2 plugin. Using the settings below:
in "Select Page" > "Buffering" configure it to match the following:
Normal buffer size: 1148KB
Preload at underrun: 5%
Preload for audio: 64KB
Also, if you are experiencing any "out-of-sync" audio, to remove any Lag, navigate to 'Select Page -> Advanced' and set 'Manual A/V offset +/-' to anywhere between'-100 to -300' (fiddle with it untill it's how you want it).
Now i could be getting this all wrong, and my idea of "Good quality Movie Playback" is not actually good quality. However, can I please suggest someone tries my methods above and post's their thoughts? And if you already use the setup above, what do you think?
My personal complaints on the Kaiser's movie playback are to do with the playing of the ripped DVDs over wi-fi from my desktop. It's annoying that my less powerful iPaq plays these files flawlessly, yet the supposedly more powerful Kaiser makes it unwatchably jumpy.
I'm not too sure about other people but I assumed it was the same? I've not actually tried encoding anything directly for the Kaiser to check performance. I've just accepted that for now unless the drivers are released it's just not a device to be used for playing back high quality video .

My two cents is that none of us want to convert movies and waste tons of time. if a movie X in format Y played well on the Tytn I, why can it not play at least as good on a Tytn II? Thanks for the advice, though this is not the solution most of users are looking for

I completely understand, if I could make a solution for everybody, i would
I suppose my suggestion is for people who perhaps want to watch movies while away on holiday, or on a long business trip, etc.
I just want to make people aware that you can watch high quality movies on the TyTN II, even if you do have to mess abit.
As for the time it takes to convert, it's surprisingly quick. We're not talking hours, but minutes.
Anyhow, let's keep our fingers crossed for the guys trying to create new drivers, they will be our true saviour!

Amen to that.
I don't have a huge collection to convert, but enough that it would be a major hassle to have a second encoding of everything. And the reason I like to encode to a higher quality is so that I can play the same vid on any machine I won and get passable quality. If I encode to 320x240 and play it even 1/2 screen on my 12" tablet, it looks horrible. 620 x 480 looks way better and evn look OK at full screen.
Plus, I'd like to just be able to play the little snippits I record on my camera. They are avi from a cheapo Cannon point and shoot which costs less than $200.
***QUOTE ALL REPLIES***
OK then, put it this way:
I couldn't care less if you wanted a file of 640 x 480, or if you find that my suggestion would be a hassle, in fact, I couldn't care less what you do in any aspect of your life, personally I'd rather read a book or watch tv...
The fact is, there is a way to play back movies with Excellent quality, and I have showed you that way. Take the suggestion, do with it what you will, but don't reply complaining that I haven't changed your life forever, i've simply offered a suggestion... that's it.

Once I get a memory card tonight, I would like to try your method. Additionally, I wonder if we could just convert the movie into 320x240 format directly. Sorry I am so new to TyTn II / Tilt as I just bought the ATT Tilt as my first PDA phone. However, I want to convert some DVD movies into memory cards so I can watch it on the road / travel.
Thanks for the suggestions / ideas.

Hi plchan,
to be perfectly honest, I've no idea how other file types play, as all the films I "Source" are mostly .avi's anyway. However TCPMP has codec for loads of different file types, so I don't see a problem with Shrinking different file types straight to 320 x 240.
You shouldn't have to convert the movies. That's the whole problem.

It's not you that people are angry with, it's HTC .
I think you may have put a few people, myself included, into defensive mode with your first post. It sounded to me like you were saying that the video playback problems on the Kaiser were a myth and so you had a few people explaining how it wasn't.
No-one's complaining to you, they're just giving their opinion on how the Kaiser has a video playback problem because from you first post you seemed to not see it.
Yeah your right se0siris, it didn't seem so at the time, but reading back my thread title does give off the wrong impression. I'll get something sorted out...
I know people aren't angry with me (or at least I hope not), and I, too, am angry at HTC for this issue, but watching movies is something I like doing, and am sure other people like doing too, so I just wanted to make people aware that it can be done (even if you have to do it a specific way, using a specific thing, whilst saying a specific magic word, and jumping up and down in a specific way, in a specific location )
And at least I've provided help to one person, which, at the end of the day, makes it all worth while
EDIT: I've added a BIG BOLD Subtitle to stop people getting the wrong impression.
All my movies are resized to 320*240.
It's indeed a bit of a workaround, but then again, smaller movies = less space = more movies
I tried it, and yes it is a nice workaround!

Re-encoding always seemed to me to be a pretty obvious workaround for the problem. Certainly, I've never bothered to drop a 750mb movie on my SD card... Not when I can drop 2 or 3 in that space after a couple of hours!
Mind you, some movies still have problems... Especially if there's a lot of screen action going on.

I agree, However simple things are often missed.
Regarding some movies still having problems... I've never had an issue.. But saying that, I do ensure all my movies are .avi (which I do anyway, regardless of whether its for the Kaiser, cos i can fit 4 or 5 .avi's on to a DVD and watch them on the TV if need be), and all are shrinked using Ashampoo.
I am very against re-encoding. i had a zune and I HATED how you had to rencode all my stuff just to watch it on the device.
That was partially the reason I sold it and bought this device, now I'm just hoping for a fix on the driver issue so that it will be justified.
Now how much faster is encoding a movie so it's big enough to fit on the main memory compare to placing a movie on the SD? Don't have the time to test, but if someone knows...please share your experience. If I was to watch movies on my tilt, I prefer to be smooth quality.
Yea, I am in the process of converting some of my DVDs also. I'm going to try the programs you mentioned because I'm currently using Aimersoft DVD Ripper and even at 320X240, I'm getting 900 MB files
One related question:
What do I change the buffer settings to on the Core Media Player? It's telling me I need to change them but I don't know what values to put in.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I know some people use hand break, i downloaded it tonight but without a proper guide, i cant make head or tells of the settings. I am posting here instead of on hand break to request specific step by step directions on getting DVD video onto the GTAB!.
One of the reasons i specificially bought this thing for was as a multi-media device so that i can watch from air planes, air ports, etc without using a lap top.
I am not asking for any illegal hacking/copying advice.
I specifically just want to load 2 or 3 movies a week that i LEGALLY RENTED AND PAID FOR from netflix onto the device to watch once and then delete to make room for the next batch.
A guide specifically for Vegan 5.1 would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Allen
Search the forum for handbrake (one word and not break) and you will find info of encoding profiles that are recommended. Good luck!
Lots of ways and the method depends on the quality you are wanting.
Take a look here for some info..

Yea it seems i just need a quality DVD ripper. I dont mind paying for one, something with an easy to use, user interface and a boat load of output formats. I have downloaded several "trial versions" in the last few hours and testing them out.. currently testing out cucusoft ultimate...i like how its going so far...
I travel Mon-Fri so i may actually have a few more practical uses for a tablet than most....
Edit: Update, cucusoft ultimate worked perfectly in 720 mode, using the trial version. (it puts a water mark on the screen that reads "trial version") so will have to buy a key if i like this thing.
It has a very nice feature where once you set it up..it pretty much just auto runs when you insert a cd, then its just drag and drop onto the gtab via usb once its done encoding.
Trying the HD H.264 mode now.
PS. Sound is AMAZING with a nice pair of bluetooth wireless head phones! (Thumbs up)
Have you tried the DivX Plus Converter? The installer is included with the standard download, but the DVD Plug-in is $10. And to unlock some of the more mobile-friendly profiles, I'm pretty sure you need to upgrade to the Pro version ($20) which has a 15 day trial.
It's kind of pricey for a converter, but it has a simple to use interface and it's by DivX themselves. I haven't used it in a long time, but even the versions from a few years ago were pretty decent, so I have to imagine the latest versions are pretty good.
There's also a great site called VideoHelp.com which has some great articles on DVD backup and/or video conversion.
I would suggest if you have an nvidia graphics card get an app called Badaboom. It will use cuda to encode video's to a number of different formats. And it does it really fast. then just load the avi or mpeg and play in your media player.
http://www.badaboomit.com/
DVD shrink (easiest) or DVD decrypter to "rip" the movie files. Both are free, but don't always work with the newest movies.
handbrake is a pretty good one to use to convert. The best answer is to just try something shorter, like a tv episode, and convert them a few different ways. Then load it up and test it out. I know for the psp you could make the movies super small and they still looked good. WIth a 10in screen i'm sure you'd notice the lack of quality, but it would depend on your expectations.
For what you are wanting to do, I wouldn't spend a ton of time thinking about it. You can go crazy with all those settings. Start off with one of the profiles and see if it works. If they have an ipad one that would be the best. Or perhaps the iphone 4. The higher resolutions are going to take longer to convert, and also are more intensive for the gtab to play.
I would guess most movies would be around 400-800mb with decent quality on the gtab. I thought the gtab liked .mp4 better than .mkv, but can't remember where i've read that. I haven't put much video on mine yet.
Look into the DVDFab products. Worth the $$ and they keep getting better. And, the new version strips region encoding and protection. It'll also do all kinds of nice stuff, like you can pick what type of output you want and if you want full DVD or just the movie itself.
If you have already ripped the movie, Freemake video converter is super duper easy, and free download.
However, keep in mind that it's technically just as illegal to rip a rented DVD as it is to download.
I haven't had any issues with MP4, AVI or MKV files so far (MKV is by far my preference)
Oh, and get a 16 or 32G memory card. It's enough to make it to Asia and back
Is there any technical reason that a ripped DVD (.VOB files) couldn't be played back on the gTab? Or is it simply there's no product (yet) that has been created to do it? I'm waiting for video lan (VLC) player to be released, which will probably do it, but I'm surprised there's not something out there already that plays DVD format files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890096&page=4&highlight=handbrake
this thread contain handbrake profiles that you can download and import. Should work for you.
I did what this link said to do just this weekend and easily ripped a dvd down. It came out at 1.7G and seems to play just fine. It was an older foreign dvd though, so might not have had the protections of a newer dvd. I have used dvdshrink succesfully in the past and would go to that first if handbrake itself failed.

Music files..? Ripping a cd at 192kbps compared to 320kbps is a noticeable difference. Flac music files bitrates are anywhere from 854kbps up to 1038kbps+ To my ears, the inner music quality, transients, in the background of the music, is present in the flac files. Superior quality and listening pleasure. PS seems
to be a noticeable difference with the SDXC, a little quicker
maybe is because the XT860 Card slot support up to 32GB max.

I'm sorry but you won't be able to hear the difference between 320kbps variable MP3 and a flac on your droid 3 with normal headset.
Either you're using a wrong encoder or wrong source files.
Use 320 VBR not constant.
..
So your question was just a bait to give your opinion about what I can or cannot hear? You must be really bored. Maybe the fact is YOU can't hear the difference and your projecting that so to protect your short comings? You may want to ASK a question instead of what ever it is your trying to say.?

No, YOU cannot hear it either. You THINK you hear it (placebo) OR you don't know how to encode your files.
Even if you would be a audiophile and was even able to hear the difference, you would never be able to hear it via a droid 3 and headphones.
Try 320kbps VBR from the source file with a proper encoder.
Guys why the argument about audio quality the question was about using an SDXC card. Plain and simple flac is able to proudce higher frequencies. Uncompressed WAV, which is the same as a CDFS, will contain upto 20kHz, high quality mp3 will maybe get 16 or 18kHz because of the compression. A violin or cymbals has sounds way beyond what an mp3 is capable of, but will be heard with flac or wav. While flac is still compressed it IS better than any mp3. In either format higher frequencies can be reproduced with say a, harmonizer or by changing the phase . Like my audio receiver has some type of "filter" to help reproduce what is lost with compressed audio but will never be the same as the original. Any modern headphones and headphone ouput are able to produce the higher spectrum of frequencies, including the Droid 3.

I'm not saying MP3 V0 is the same as a FLAC file. Sure, if you go and use a frequency analyser you will find that the MP3 might be weaker above 16k hz.
However with normal headset and droid 3 you will not easily hear the difference..especially since the ear will not pick up such small differences at such high frequency.. maybe if you're 10 years old and have perfect ears.
Not to mention most music will never make much use of 16k> frequency.
But be my guest and waste GBs of space by using FLAC
Even in the face of overwhelming facts some brains cannot grasp ideas much less facts , outside their world. There seems to be a movement of ignorance, as in fashionable. Some people seem to be locked in a dual of out stupefying eachother. The phone carriers are a good example of this. The things that come out of their mouths is devoid any reasoning that covers more than a handful of like minds. Its really sad that our site is not untouched by this epidemic. I believe my part is to supply truthful information, less I declare "IMO" (or I think). Have a nice day.
Guys shut up about the FLAC argument already. No one else cares and it is completely irrelevant to the thread. If you guys want to debate about it take it to PM or something.
On topic question: what kind of read/write speed are you getting with the sdxc card formatted using this method? What is its original speed?

I have not been using bench type apps since before D3 CM9. CM7 I had scores above 3K. Quadrant Standard score: 2658 * CPU 4824 * Mem.1650 *I/O 4583 * 2D 269 * 3D 2023 with the SDXC. I could not use the SDXC unless it was formatted in fat32. If there is an app more specific in benching read/write let me know. I wound up with 59.45gb after formatting.
Well if I could convince him to NOT use FLAC he wouldn't have this problem in the first place..and it would be fixed, right?
Just did a google and here's a topic about it, I suggest you guys read it:

No, YOU cannot hear it either. You THINK you hear it (placebo) OR you don't know how to encode your files.
Even if you would be a audiophile and was even able to hear the difference, you would never be able to hear it via a droid 3 and headphones.
Try 320kbps VBR from the source file with a proper encoder.

Only that whole topic I linked agrees with me.. and I'm stubborn??
Gimme the FLAC and MP3 then
Oh my god.....really guys?
I doubt Droid 3 can reproduce some of the frequencies a flac file can have. That being said, thanks for the tip about the sdxc!
Rocking with my M3 and XDA app
Thanks for the lulz.
Hey folks,
I guess the topic was already commented but not in a topic of its own.
I recently started listening to FLAC and I barely find myself listening to mp3s anymore. The quality is far more supreme...especially now that I have a Tube Amp and nice hand made speakers.
But - I want to start listening to FLAC on my phone as well. I am using Player Pro since for ever, it does support FLAC but I hear some blips on almost all of my tracks.
So yea - can you guys give me some intel on how the magic happens? HTC is known to have a nice DAC ... maybe recommend some spesific player ..and so on, and so on.
Have a nice weekend!

as i know, there's no software let you listen FLAC with better quality at this moment, every FLAC player output is same mp3 player, it cann't output the FLAC quality
I always use the stock music player to play FLAC, and there's different from mp3. But I don't know how to proof.
