The Lumias sound equalizer for god sake !!!!!!!!!!...

I've been freustrated over this for a long time now, Music is a BOG part of my daily routine. I know my Lumia 800's hardware is quite capable of producing some excellent audio, but the lack of an equalizer ruins it all. NOKIA, do somethinig !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I use a Nokia Lumia 800 and the sound quality of the 800 is quite good. It is comparable to Nokia C7's audio quality(Nokia phone with best audio quality according to GSMArena) but during night (absolute silence) I hear a little bit of noise when the volume is approximately 10(30 max) and lower. I forgot what it is called but it is not audible in Nokia C7. But that's not the problem.
Lumia 800 had a very poor audio quality when it was launched, and you can read about it in GSMArena's Lumia 800 review. It had very low/absent bass. But Nokia fixed that with a software update.
Now it sounds good!
I bought Sony NWZ-B172F to replace my Lumia 800 thinking that Lumia 800 has a poor quality sound (but I liked it). But, still I wanted to know if it is really good or maybe I just like the bad sound. To my surprise, Lumia 800 sounds better than a dedicated MP3 player, better than a few laptops, better than iPod shuffle (when the equalizers were turned off, shuffle sucks-no equalizer). But, most of them have an equalizer, so I fine tuned them to get the desired output which was comparable/close enough to that of my Lumia 800.
One thing I noticed was that every other device that I tested lacked in mids or highs. Sony NWZ-B172F had the best, cleanest and the deepest bass(thanks to a dedicated bass button something more than an equalizer) it almost sounds like a headphone amplifier but like others it was lacking in highs and a bit in mids. So the bass is a kind of compromise.
So, I conclude that an equalizer is necessary in 1st generation Lumia phones too. (Especially on my Lumia 800!) Especially with manual control/custom equaliser. I want to be able to fine tune the audio output of this device. I'm an audio quality and music freak.
I just updated to latest Nokia Music app. and it says that EQ and Dolby Sound is only available for Windows Phone 8 devices. That is not good!
But, the people in US are already using EQ on 1st gen Lumia. (I read it on the web)
Maybe we people ( 1st Gen Lumia buyers) were being used as beta testers. #smartphone beta test
And still no sign of WP7.8 update.

  • Where is the javax sound package for download?

    Where is the javax sound package for download? (URL) I got the latest JDK yesterday and tried to compile some audio applet but it looks like all of the Javax stuff is missing from the latest JDK.
    Where do I download the javax sound package ?

    This is an audio player that another posted here. I tried to compile and run it but here were the results.

  • Sound equalizer for Pavilion dv6 - 3231nr?

    I would love some simple 6 or 10 band sound equalizer for my dv6 -3232nr.  I mostly use earphones.
    Cheap or free would be nice.
    Thanx!

    Software, of course!

  • How can I use the same Sound variable for multiple sounds?

    I need my program to play many different mp3 files at different times.  I'm reading that you can not load different mp3 files into the same Sound variable.  But there must be a way around this right?  Can I Unload mp3 files some how?  Or can I delete the Sound variable and declare it again?  I don't want to have hundreds of Sound variables so what do I do?  Thank you.

    delete doesn't work in as3.  you must remove all listeners and references including nulling the variables.  for displayobjects, they need to be removed from the display list.
    p.s.  you don't need to create a sound instance until you need to load an mp3 using one.  so, if you're waiting for user input to start loading an mp3, you should wait for that input to create that sound instance.

  • Help me on choosing the best sound quality for my music on my itunes!!!

    I heard that AIFF Encoder is the best sound quality you can import your music into Itunes. On the settings for AIFF Encoder do you know what Sample Rate, Sample Size, and what Channel I should set it to? Should I just leave them on Auto? How about if I have a HDCD? What are your suggestions?

    I agree use Apple Lossless. Bizarrely it is also easier to share Apple Lossless with Windows Media Player than AIFF.
    I have my entire iTunes library in Apple Lossless and shared with WMP and also Media Center 2005. I can also use it in full lossless quality with Roku SoundBridge, Apple TV, iPhone, iPod, etc. etc. etc.

  • How do you set a usb sound card as the default sound device for all programs?

    I'm running cmus for a music player and it works fine with the internal speakers on my macbook pro. I'm using a usb sound card for a set of 5.1 surround speakers and cmus won't send it's audio to the usb sound card. I've also tried several other programs for audio and it seems to be hit or miss with being able to use the usb sound card. I'm not sure if I'm overlooking the a setting or if there is a different audio output plugin for cmus that has the functionality I need. Cmus also won't play over any bluetooth audio device while some other sounds will.

    Yes I did and it does not appear there. Only the ringtones I have created myself and the default ones appear in the list.
    In settings>sounds>ringtone however they all appear

    Hi there
    I need to set up "Don't disturb" to let in incoming calls (ringtone) but to mute email and imessage notifications. Is this possible?
    Please help. Thank you.

    Yes, you can
    In Settings, turn on Do Not Disturb to silence sounds from incoming calls and notifications. You can allow calls from your favorites, specific contacts, or contact groups. Enable Do Not Disturb manually or schedule a recurring time.

  • Windows 8 reinstall, not 8.1 for gods sake, Total factory reset with Factory disk

    I downloaded the windows 8.1 system on my factory 8 system. Major problems occurred. Now I need to install windows 8 to factory settings. I am looking to do a clean install as my pc has less than 25 hrs on it even though it is 1.5 years old.
    It is a dell 2330 all in one. I do not have much on here and it has been save to a zip drive. I would like to keep windows media and a few other programs and need a little help with this. Thanks all for the support.
    Jim
     

    Hi,
    As your PC is OEM version, please contact dell for the installation/repair media (as britishdhez suggested), with that you won't need to activate Windows a second time for the clean install, it will use the key stored in your BIOS.
    For the key issue, please take a look at the explanation of Don in the following thread:
    How to Get the Product key!?
    Besides, if we want to update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8, we may follow the link below:

  • Blurry Profile Picture... FOR GODS SAKE, PLEASE FI...

    I can't wrap my mind around the fact that Skype either doesn't give a **bleep** or is literally not able to fix the blurry profile picture bug that haunts Skype for almost a year now. How HARD can it be to fix it?
    For months and months me and other people are waiting for a fix, but nothing happens.
    Skype Portable was the only way for people with Windows 7 to get a nonblurry profile picture, but after the update even that doesn't work anymore.
    WAKE UP SKYPE!!! Please.

    I have tried all kinds of sizes and formats, it's always blurry compared to the original. Every contact in my list that I asked about this has the same problem, besides one person who doesn't have Windows 7.
    Please post a picture that wouldn't turn out blurry if used as a profile pic. I'm curious.
    Also, about saying they should need to fix more important things... this problem is here for a YEAR! Don't you think they should be able to fix this "little" issue in this long amount of time? A lot of people are bothered by it, just google skype blurry profile picture.

  • Is the Lumia 1020 available for T-mobile users

    I currently have t-mobile for my provider but am very interested in the 1020 phone for business use, but it only seems to be available on AT&T.  Will this phone be available for T-mobile users soon?  and if not why?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    thanks for the info.  It seems to me these companies would realize that they only kill their sales by limiting items to a particular carrier.  By the time this phone becomes available to everyone else there will be a newer, better one waiting to take its place... Whoever is in charge of marketing should be fired.. ha  but again thanks for the info...
