So, weirdest thing. While listening to music on the stock sense player yesterday i moved my headphone cord on my Dr. Dre beats in a vertical direction to avoid tangling and my HD2 immediately begins to redial the last call on my history. I repeated this about, 3 to 4 times successfully, although it would be important to mention that it doesnt act this way every single time i jerk my cord, but a good 1 of 4 times. Any thoughts??
P.S. i am usind the Dre Studios, the larger model, and no i was not using the extra cord that has a built-in volume control and mic
yeah i notice something like that when i plug in my hd2 to my car i dont remember if i was playing with the volume or the cord but the voice command keep running over and over.
Bad music is bad music regardless of the device you play it on. The HD2 is smart enough to actually try and call for help. Load some System of a Down on your device, rm -rf all rap/hip-hop, and you should see your problem remedied instantly.

LOL beats by dr dre are headphones brands gots nothing to do with rap music. system their cool but if you hear some immortal technique or nas it will spice up your device. dont listen to the rap on radio thats just garbage i would rather listen to jonas brothers than rap on the radio or mtv makes me wanna throw up.

dude don't say that cause im just gonna spend 200 bucks on something i maybe use 4 times a month lol
its 350 and trust me you wouldnt be using them 4 times a month , after u hear them you wont be able to listen to anything else
Well I stand corrected (about the headphones only ). Headphones sound only as good as the source audio, and most of my mp3s are crappy 96kbps from the napster era. Is the HD2 capable of pushing out good quality audio (over 48kHz 24bit?).
The dialing might be a remnant of the way HTC used to wire their extUSB/Audio-Out, and since they allow for music controls, maybe it's making contact signaling to dial. I'll receive my HD2 on Monday, so I don't know yet, do 3.5 mm plus feel like they go in correctly all the way in? are the Beats' plugs anything fancy that might not connect right?
Yeah, Beats By: Dr. Dre are pretty ****ing incredible.
I'm a bit of an audiophile... and I've owned quite a few excellent headsets from, Sennheiser, Astro, and Tritton.
But in terms of MP3 player specific headphones... these are the best!
NOW, having said that... if you haven't tried using the application, WOW SRS HD for Windows Mobile, then you haven't fully experienced what your Beats By Dre are capable of outputting.

No alternative DRIVER necessary.
You simply install the .CAB file on that thread... and perform a soft reset immediately after the installation process is complete. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS read the instructions (if they're provided) ... CAREFULLY!
it would be nice to have a deck with speakers like the iphone has from bose or other. I swear i think im just gonna get an iphone just because they have alot of apps and nice titanium and carbon fiber cases. but i want the beats the small ones not the dj ones
my Vmoda's do the same thing. the default HTC headphones do not, but the soudn quality is horrible.
I really appreciate the quick responses guys, xda ftw!!!! Unfortunately, my problem still exists. I see that other people have similar problems but no one seems too concerned with a fix. But, since the thread is not dead, im not concerned much. Shoutout to Reignzone because the before and after with teh WOW SRS HD was indeed wow.

Anytime boss, anytime. Glad to have been of some help with that suggestion...
Seriously, even a Wal-mart, bull**** pair of earbuds sounds high-quality with the WOW SRS application.
It doesn't do that with my AKG K271s... Or Beyers...
It could be a sign telling you not to use the Beats... Yes, I have tried them. Didn't like the overblown bass.
get a life deuche, this isnt the place to discuss your horrible taste in music
Audio booster

I use the Audio Booster that came standard on my HD2. It helps out a lot. No joke. A lot of pre-sets or you can customize it yourself I am sure. You should give that a shot. I try to avoid installing cabs when something similar is already stock on the phone. I guess I got that habit from my wing due to the lack of memory. But i dont think you have to worry about that with this bad boy HD2!
The audio booster has nothing on WOW SRS, at least imo.

Lol, saying you like WOW SRS just took away your audiophile card, every implementation ive herd of WOW SRS just mangles and screws up the dynamic range of audio.
As title says ... if you have any questions ... I can post photos, test stuff etc ...

Language
Hi,
Can you set the language to "Danish" ?
How is the feel/ build quality ?
How is it in the menus - fast/acceptable/slow
Thanks!
Lucky bastard
Sound Quality
How is the sound quality for music over headphones?
Does it have the dolby SRS enhancements?
Thanks in advance!

The only thing I really want to ask is battery life, but you won't be able to give me a detailed answer on that before I get my own

As for the hinge - in the HTC shop there was a Desire Z to show for customers and when I was playing with the hinge I was little bit afraid ... it was just too free. Fortunatly when I unboxed by device the hinge was pretty good. The build quality looks very good for me. However I am afraid that hinges will get overused by time and i will have to take it for warranty repair. This is just my opinion and may not happend. Summary: first expresions was afraidness but after now I am satisfied with it.
I come from TP2 where the keyboard is definitly better. On Desire Z its little bit smaller and there are function keys on the sides - I mean on TP2 I had 'p' and 'q' at the side of the keyboard ... here is 'tab' and 'backspace' on the side... but this is just matter of habit.
As for the hinge - when you turn the device upside down - it opens by gravity. This was afaik already discussed about G2. It is not issue i guess ... and actually i dont find it annoying at all.
As you could probably see on youtube videos the frame of the phone is metal and the back cover of batery is metal. The rest is plastic - very same as on the classic desire.

I am from czech republic and I cannot change language to Danish. This will be probably country specific. I have there: czech, english, magyar, polski, romania, slovak and some azbuka written language which i dont have any clue what is

Actually they are super fast... I have installed only like 10 apps so menu is not full of apps but the device is incredibly responsible. This is probably due to new generation of procesor used in the opposite of the old on in Desire (even Z is 800mhz and classic Desire is 1ghz). What supprised me was that I held today even HTC Desire HD and i had feeling that Z is smoother... but who know what was with that HD

Cant say yet :-/ I have it first day ... now i am recharging it to the full battery. I use my phone heavily and TP2 lasted one day with problems. When I didnt have time to play with phone (twitter, web browsing etc) and i was only calling it lasted 2 days. I will report my experience with Z asap.

I dont know anything about dolby SRS ... if you could tell me how to try it I would.
I've just plugged in my KOSS Porta Pro and the quallity sounds well... Or lets say its not catastrophic Depends how much audiofil are you I still think that it depends more on headphones you listen. Atm I am playing pink floyd high hopes and I hear there all details i know so I guess the quality of playback is ok. In the comparison with qualite repro I feel here how my porta are overbassed. I will investigate equalizer in new days
ad hinges - those are not my videos but another owner:

Check the NAM version thread:
Bell has released the NAM version D-Z today too
I wanted to ask you about the hinge, again: if you don't slide out the keyboard (so the keyboard is "closed") and you turn the phone upside-down, will the keyboard still open by itself? In the videos posted above I can see what is happening when the keyboard is already open, but I wonder if it happens the same when the keyboard is "closed".
I fear the keyboard would open by itself in my pocket and I could break it, if I wear some loose clothes. Also, flipping the phone to mute the ringtone seems silly if the keyboard is opening like that.
I wouldnt be afraid to have it in my pocket. Yes it opens itself but only by some little force - for example gravity. Actually to let it open by the gravity you have to hold it by the bottom side of the phone and not holding the second one. Since they are rather thin its not so easy. I am used to hold my phone by way it doesnt close when i type.

Thanks for the answer! Maybe it looks worse than it is. I hope to find it in the stores in one or two weeks, and I'll try it myself.
If you find more interesting stuff about it (good or bad), please post. When you have some time, maybe you could upload some pictures and video from the camera.

I just got a Bell one and the hinge is a little slippery but (as mentioned) it only slides on mine if I hold it upside-down by the base, or at a bizzare side-ways angle that's un-natural.
Be prepared for the slide though, as you will have it if you get the phone. Great phone though.
the desire z has LED Notification??
i think the desire may have led notification unlike the t-mobile g2... if you watch the video you can see the red blinking LED due to low battery. can anyone else confirm this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ0iH_hHchg
Don't know about notifications, but my g2 has the same led notification when it is done charging or charging. My g2 has never had less than half the battery remaining, so no clue on that. I hope the g2 lits up that led when a missed call/text pops up, that would be a sweet upgrade.
yes, there is LED diod undead the speaker grid. It is blinking not only when battery is low but also when you recharge (red for recharging/green for fully recharged) or when you have missed call. It doesnt blink for email i think ... i will notice today hopefuly.
Is the emmc/ nand locked down like in tmo g2?
Ie no perma-root/ custom roms?
I have a tmo g2 which I could gladly sell/ trade for the desire z provided the dz could be perma rooted...
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
i am just moving from htc hd7 to samsung focus i was pretty happy from it until i listened to the music. i mean there is a day and night difference between the hd7 sound and the focus just because hd7 has sound enhancer, any one know a similar app or any other equalizer app avaible in the market for the non htc phones ???? i really need it because without it samsung focus sound sucks but i dont wanna leave the super amoled just because of poor sound quality
I have the same problem here. I've asked same question here and I've got no solution
I've used a tool (in pc) called 'mp3 gain' to equalize all songs before send to Focus. This is not a solution, but could help.

thanks though i will try the same thing its not a bad idea though but will take a lot of time though anyways we should just keep an eye on the apps and i think sooner or later someone will come up with some nice equalizer app
I love my HD2, but there's no getting away from how bad the speaker on the back sounds.
It's extremely tinny and there is no bass especially when compared to my cheapo ZTE BLADE.
Has anyone tried to mod in a new speaker? say maybe one meant for a desire HD?
i hav also HD2 but speaker voice very nice ..

i'm interested too.
Hey guys,
So pretty much all of us here know how awful the loudspeaker is on our myTouch 4g...
We also know that there are software mods to 'help' with the overall quality of the sound via equalizers... DSP Manager?
But..I personally don't find it helps all that much..let's face it, it still sounds pretty crappy =P
So..I was thinking...
Is there an alternative, OEM, speaker that we can use to replace the one in our phone???
Perhaps, we could find a speaker for a different device that has good quality, and install it in ours. I get there would probably be compatibility issues....
But surely there must be at least one other device whose speaker works well AND is compatible with our phone
If you have any info on the specifics or compatible devices/components...
Open to all positive suggestions. Would love to hear everyone's take on this matter.
THANKS
