A quick check around XDA and apparently the V10 app fix works on the V20? http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/dac-fix-lg-v10-v20-t3484294 Do applications like Neutron, PlayerPro, etc, work with the DAC? What's the threshold (ex: Must be FLAC to activate or perhaps 320 kbps MP3/OGG/AAC...

I just saw a demo unit of the LG V20 and I'm planning to get this phone. Has anyone else noticed that the color temperature of this phone is way too blue? Namely, the color temperature is rather on the high side? Anyways, a quick check and it looks like this could be an issue...

Just wondering, what is the most durable case for the Note 4? Aesthetics, thickness, bulkiness, etc are not a concern - just looking at the most durable case. I'm currently using the Otterbox Defender, but I find the front frames tend to crack at times.

I know that the quality of the photos taken on AOSP cannot possibly be as good as the ones on Touchwiz based ROMs unless the camera application is ever successfully ported over somehow. Personally, I really hate Touchwiz and I like this phone because of this big beautiful screen. However...

I've been looking around at the extended batteries for the Note 4. Which one do you consider the best? Right now I'm leaning towards the Hyperion 8000 mah version. The ZeroLemon does seem to have more capacity, but it does seem to have issues involving the battery reading because of the...

Overall, it looks like this phone doesn't seem to offer much compared to the Note 5 for enthusiasts. This seems to be a matter of form over function here: 3000 Mah battery, which will probably not last 1 day of heavy use - even less so if you are outside (you must turn up the screen...

I am looking to get a Snapdragon 805 based Note 4. The most common variant seems to be the SM-910F. Is this variant compatible with WInd Mobile in Canada (AWS /UMTS Band 4 - aka 1700/2100MHz)? At the moment, Wind does not seem to have an LTE service, so that is not a concern right now. Has...

Has anyone had a lot of experience with the headphone audio quality of the Note 4 Snapdragon variants? How does it compare subjectively to the Note 2 (with the Wolfson DAC)? So far, it seems like: - S1 i9000; Wolfson, awesome sound - S2 and Note 1: Yamaha; awful quality sound - S3: Varied, with...

How do the speakers compare to those of the Note 2? I'm discussing in terms of both loudness and audio quality. Are there distortions at maximum volume? Is the quality comparable to the top HTC phones? The Note 3 had some pretty lackluster speakers, and they were a downgrade compared to those...

Google didn't seem to give any details about this and there does not seem to be any information about this one the web - is the S4 going to be with a Snapdragon or the Exynos chip? All that seems to be known is that the hardware will be identical, that it is the 16gb edition, and that it is...

I've been debating with myself which phone to get - I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person in this boat so I made this thread. My situation: Nexus IV: $360 here in Canada Note II: $400 here in Canada, although with a 3 year commitment ($40 a month for unlimited nationwide calling...

Quick question for Note II owners, how often do you use your S-Pens? Is it still useful after the novelty wears often? Or just something that gets left in the phone? This is one of those long term ownership questions I'm curious about.

Okay, I posted a very similar thread in the Epic 4G section. I don't often come to this forum. It seems to me that looking at all of the new releases, with the possible exception of the Motorola Droid series (although it seems the Droid Razr is getting more hype than the Droid 3 did, so it may...

It seems to me that looking at all of the new releases, with the possible exception of the Motorola Droid series (although it seems the Droid Razr is getting more hype), is the era of flagship physical keyboard phones dead? It seems that the Epic 4G may be the last flagship keyboard Android...

Now that I have had an opportunity to play with the phone, while I will be skipping this device due the poor Yamaha DAC, which is inferior to the one onboard the Galaxy S i9000, I wonder ... is this the optimal size for a phone? - Smaller phones, when pressed against the ear are too short...

List of complaints that need to be addressed because people keep making threads on them: 1. The Camera is 5 MP. Okay, anybody who things that megapixels = quality probably knows very little about photography. More megapixels in many cases introduces more noise, especially considering how small...

Like the Nexus S, this phone has a curved screen. I have always wondered - is this just a gimmick or are there any real benefits to it?

For audiophiles, the GS1 was a good phone with the Wolfson DAC. I currently use a variant of the GS1 - the Epic, which I imported from the US. Anyways, the GS2 was a let down - the Yamaha DAC was not up to par. Any ideas what the DAC is on this phone? - The Wolfson one (I hope) - The Yamaha...

To begin with, is it the same Yamaha DAC as the international version of the Galaxy S2? Alternatively, could it be the same Wolfson DAC on the Galaxy S i9000? This does give me hope: http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/media_centre/item/first_quarter_results_to_3_april_2011/ Samsung selected Wolfson...

We're about halfway into 2011. These days, it seems like all the new phones have no physical keyboards. At least, among the flagship devices. The Epic was the closest thing to a flagship keyboard phone recently, which was one of the biggest reasons I bought mine off ebay. Do you think that...

I recently bought a custom 2 amp charger after the stock one died. Anyways, whenever I plug it in, I noticed that it would ask me whether I wanted to access the USB storage. Apps that need the SD card similarly, would terminate (ex: music). Is there any way to solve this and to make the phone...

When testing the Epic's GPS, it seems that I currently can get an actual lock that is accurate to about 50m (150 feet). I have also encountered situations where I am entirely outside of the GPS error radius. Getting a GPS lock right now is pretty rapid; locking in under 5 seconds. However, on...

Well, they're finally here - class 10 32gb microSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220547 And for me in Canada: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220547 I believe that Lexar is also releasing some as well. Anyways, has anyone tested a class 10...

I'm putting together a general guide for people to choose an Android phone because increasingly, there are so many choices. This guide will likely be more focused on North American customers at the moment, because that is where I come from and have the most knowledge. This is not going to be...

I posted a thread about this specifically concerning the Epic 4G, but I realize now that this concerns all Galaxy S phones and all variants. I got the chance to see a Nexus S in person. As the specs said, it only had one microphone. The Nexus S is very similar to all of the i9000 variants...

Has anyone else had this phone overheat a lot and reboot? Ever since I've upgraded to DK28, the phone seems to be overheating with sustained gameplay of games like Pocket Legends or the Sims 3. I've tried multiple ROMs, Epic Experience, Viper, Quantum, and Nebula (so far the best stability of...

I was just thinking, the Nexus S also has one microphone and apparently uses software noise cancellation. Do you think that all of the Galaxy S variants (including the Epic) will get software noise cancellation? It's a minor thing, but it would be nice to have. So far, I think that apart from...

They aren't fashionable these days, but for texting and emailing, they are still very practical. Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be the best hardware keyboard that you've ever used on a cell phone? Why? Personally, I think that the HTC Touch Pro 2 was the best keyboard that I ever...

I have been trying for the past 30 minutes or so but I can't seem to download or update from the market. When I click install, it takes me back to the main menu and just stops. Anyone else have this? Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App UPDATE: Working now. Anyone else still having problems?

After seeing the Epic 4G (I bought one with a broken ESN and shipped it to Canada), and several of other Galaxy S phones, I noted something. They were pretty lightweight, but battery life was unimpressive. The Epic is not alone, and there are lots of Android phones that seem to suffer from...

Lets put together a list of problems that we have with this phone. I'll split them into software bugs and things we just don't like. Software bugs/shortcomings - GPS problems - Touchwiz seems to have been gimped (less of an issue as I use Syndicate, although I know some people like Touchwiz) -...
