i use an app on my phone called volume+ well I tried it on my Asus and worked great doubled the sound output for sure... try it and report back.
Any distortion? Also any danger of damaging the speakers?
Thanks for the recommendation! I installed it and it's a definite improvement in volume and dynamic range. As for distortion, it's very adjustable and at conservative settings I hear no discernible distortion. If I crank baseboost up past 4 i do start to notice distortion.
My transformer was loud before the 3.1 update and after the update the sound was dropped significantly. I read yesterday somebody mentioned about the volume+ and he mentioned specific version 1.5 that will work in Transformer.
I installed it and it did make the volume back loud.
Do you guys use this version also, or the newer one in the market? Does it work fine (the latest one?)
does it allow you to adjust the left right balance in that app?
works great, thanks!
thanks for sharing this.

lol. I never posted the warez link.
thx yo, great app, greatly increased my volume with no distortion at +4 setting!
Just a chime in, there is a free version on the market as well as the paid version. I tried the free version and didn't see any difference but honestly didn't have time to look through all settings only did volume control and it sounds like there is a boost mode so will look again, will buy maybe boost is only avail on paid ver. I assume the current ver is fine not the referenced 1.5 ver?
Thanks
My Bad, I had tried Volume Control + thinking it was the right one. Volume+ by Meltus def made a difference. Thanks
yeah its free but I say support the Dev.. really did help alot and it works on phones Too!
According to the dev's website, there will be forthcoming features that will only be made available to those who purchase via the Market. It's a buck 50 people, support these guys that do awesome work for us mere mortals.
Lol I buy stupid $1.00 apps all the time why not an app that works great and I can use on my tablet and phone!

Hmm, it should show up. Try to clear the cache..
It's a free app..
I am in Finland and tried this today, works great! I seem to recall adding external links to these posts is forbidden, so if you need the Spotify APK file to install on your Android, head over to the Swedish forums (of a site called Swedroid) and read the threads about the new release - somebody put up a link to the apk-file there.
I listened to Spotify on my way to work today and it's awesome! No lag at all, even though I always go through areas with really bad HSDPA reception...
Edit: I see the first post in this thread has a link and since the spotify client is free, this shouldn't be considered piracy (?). Mods, remove the link if you are in doubt. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MNTO3B06. Sorry.
Looking forward to giving this a whirl.
"The mobile service has been made available exclusively to Spotify Premium members in the majority of our launch countries including the UK, Sweden, Spain, France and Norway. Spotify is not yet available on Android Market in Finland."
This sucks. But thanks jayjay, will try that out!
Simply awesome, doesn't feel like a beta at all. On t-mobile stock rom and the app is snappy with no lag. Works fine over hsdpa. offline playlists are great but still dont know if theres a limit on how much can be downloaded or if they have a time limit.
Only gripe so far is that the t&c say that a day pass gives you access but wouldn't let me until I bought full premium.
Yeah the £9.99 monthly fee is putting me off to be honest. Another tenner on top of my monthly contract, no ta.

Apparently the artists aren't getting anything from Spotify anyway. Buying CD's or MP3's from iTunes/Amazon et al seems to be the only way to ensure the artist is compensated for their work. Which is pretty rubbish.
Anyone know if Meltus' volume hack works with the N1.
I doubt it as they are different versions of Android, but one never knows.
I am too scared of breaking something, else I would try it.

It seems to be working. Ran a Youtube video without, had trouble hearing it, and then with it was almost too lound.
see and thats how you roll ne way lol. next time seriously bro. nandroid yourself. it is truly your friend from stupid thoughts that i get i mean we get lol
thanks for testing this, i'd like to try it out. at meltus.androidftw.com i'm looking around and i can't find a clear description of what each of the v1/v2/.../v7 do. do you have any ideas?
more importantly, can a hack like this blow the speaker?
EDIT: actually, i found it under "version info" :-[ but i still would like to know if this has the potential to blow the speaker...
I tried louder Volume hack 2.2.2 and it failed to work which files did you push?
I pushed everything that was in the v2 folder.
On the down side, I have to readjust everything for my car sound system as it messed up the bass and treble balance that I had previously.
As far as I can tell it works.
got a link?
Here that web site your looking for. I think it worked when i pushed all the files....Thanks Meltus

Doubt it. They might have to change the user manual if they do upgrade to the TW 3.0 and that takes time to publish.
However, Samsung/Sprint's user manual are not thorough. So they could purposely leave out these additional "features" and put them on an updated PDF file user manual on their website.

nope. it is 2.5. the app dock at the bottom cannot be changed. home screen cannot be moved or removed. music is similar to the stock android player which is very basic. no equalizer in the music player. it is definitely not 3.0. not sure y they did not add all those features. i dont understand why it costs $250 as the only extra thing is the keyboard, led flash and vga cam. rest all features are either similar or lesser than what is provided in captivate and vibrant which are available on amazon now for $49 and $0.01 respectively. $250 is simply ridiculous.

Also your forgetting the multicolor notification light, and once again AMAZON is selling those other phones for $49.99 and $.01. What do you think amazon will sell the EPIC 4G for? I guarantee you it won't be $250 unless the phone is consistently sold out. Wait til a month after the epic 4g has been out like how the vibrant and captivate have been and then see what it is going for on amazon. If I go to the carrier websites they still want $200 for the phones. You are being completely unfair in your comparisons.

I would think it's a matter of both Sprint and Samsung deciding the specs. The reasons for axing it could come down to cost of development, bugs, etc., too.
IIRC, there was a case of a phone sharing some of the same hardware as the N1; the N1 had FM radio and the other did not. Modders found that they had the chipset for radio and were able to add it. Similar events have happened with phones that are wireless N capable but were not released with software that enabled it.
Either way, I'm pretty confident modders will get FM radio working on the Epic.

Get a piece of paper, write your forum name on it and take a photo with both the SGS2 and that paper on it. Then we're serious. Btw this is no offense but due to others claiming they had the phone when they didn't
If that's done then please try out the new Hubs that Samsung has integrated, then test the sound quality of the speakers AND if you connect good earphones.
Thx
why not make a video review and put it on youtube? Test the GPS
Please check if the browser render text on websites
if it is the retail or at least the android 2.3.3 version, please do a nenamark benchmark and test some heavy web pages with flash on the browser

Yep, I know. But there are different 'types' of pre production models. There are those from WMC that got Andoid 2.3.1 and you got newer types that run on Android 2.3.3.
So if you run a benchmark, the result would probably be low, because the software isn't fully optimized on your type/version.

hey guys final fantasy 3 which is actually 6 or 5 i think lol has finally been ported to android for the price of 15.99 (little pricey for me) runs great :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFIII_GP
That's actually not Final Fantasy 6, it's the japanese Final Fantasy 3 -- more specifically it's an updated DS port of the fully localized game. Price is a little too steep for my tastes, especially as I already own it. Final Fantasy 6 has yet to see a proper modern upgrade unfortunately.
Anyway, it's still a good game.
