U39GT sound issues - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
today I received my first android device, shipped from China manufacturer, the Cube U39GT tablet. It came with Android 4.2.2 , has an Cortex-A9 processor and Mali400 graphics card, 1920x1080 9" display and is generally really nice device. Altought I came across one big issue I dont know how to solve myself and it is the sound.
I didnt expect the sound quality to be any good since it is just a handheld device but the quality is really awful and pretty much unlistenable. It makes weird noise while playing through the main speakers and when earphones pluggen in and listening to a song, the singer sound like he is singing underwater or I dont know. Best description of the problem I can do with my english. I hope it is a software issue since both the speaker and earphones are having issues.
Is there anything I can do? Should I install a new ROM? If so please point me to some guide or something. Im getting hopeless.
Thank you all!

I think that soon It will have new ROM out.

But... I've heard that they've done Cube_Brand mp3 music player for a long time !

I asked a few questions.ใใใ
.
I'm interested in this model is fitted.
How satisfactory quality..?
and how much score 2D and 3D of QuadrantApp in PlayStore..?
I guess.. 2D and 3D score maybe more than 900 and 2000 ,or nearby, it work well.
.
Thank you

Hello there! sorry to answer so late, I sorta forgot about I posted here. Today I got pointed to a new ROM which should fix the sound issues so I will try that no. About the quality of the product I can say it looks and feels awesome Let me know if you are still interested in the scores and I will get them for you.

Hey, mind if I ask where did you buy the slate from? Is it directly from their official stores at Tmall? I have been searching for their truly "official" online store but it seems there are too many self proclaim "official" stores. Any guides on where to buy? I would prefer to buy direct then to go thru an authorized dealer.

[Q] [REQ]Beats Audio on the Samsung Galaxy S II

The guys over at the desire hd forum section have come up with a custom rom for the device made out of a leaked ruu from the unreleased HTC Runnymede. The rom has one feature that will certainly be very desirable in the next couple of weeks, Beats Audio. Now as i understand, the beats integration should be mostly software(like the beats audio laptops from HP). SO, the question is that can it be soft ported to the SGSII?
p.s. oh and if im in the wrong section, do tell
BTW, HTC Sensation XE is another beats audio device(can be used as anothet source!)
Fantastic idea. Would love to see this at our sgs2.
Maybe you could contact the vodoo developer. It think it's supercio. He's is very friendly.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Although he is a very friendly person indeed, I doubt that he'll start implementing this for SGS2. The reason is the same as for the lack of Voodoo Sound feature, a different and a bit less efficient sound chip used in SGS2 (The original SGS has Wolfson WM8994 and Samsung replaced it with Yamaha MC-1N2 in SGS2). I'd see it more likely for the original SGS :-/
people telling Cyanogen much better
oh and The Galaxy S II uses audio hardware manufactured and branded by Yamaha
Doesnt matter who made the hardware.. Do you think they put monster equipment in all hp laptops? As with all such marketing gimmicks, this has to be software based tweaks and heaven knows we need better audio output
great idea !! anyone tried it on other hardware ?? is it working with monster beats without pilot or it neets to be with pilot edition ?? and will there work monster beats with pilot (iphone edition) i mean as i know ther is diffrent polarisation in jacks... so we need to wait for new editions of earphones ??
Im supporting this yeahh.. must admit that the audio output ftom sgs2 is weak indeed.. my old htc desire sounds better even with cheaper earphones... and i really dont like the 'fakeness bass sound' in SGS2
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
(UNRELATED QUESTION) i just recalled another feature in our phones that needed some usage, fm transmission. I read somewhere on xda before launch that the broadcom chipset inside had nnot only BT 4.0 but also this capability. I for one, think that fm transmission is one killer feature

Not only that, but you'd think those developers would agree that since audio on the SGS2 is actually worse, the need for such software is even greater... I can't understand why they won't develop it where it's obviously most needed...

Put simply, the sound from the S2 is FLAT with hardly any bass. You may also hear regular interference like hissing sounds due to the phone's design.
Even simpler, the audio output of the S2 = horrible
Are there any news ?

This is really a great device. Amazing price-quality ratio. I just bought one as a second phone and I'm very happy with it.
Performance is comparable to Samsung Galaxy S+ but with a nice 4.3 screen.
And Alcatel has promised an ICS update so fingers crossed.
@ whigga: yeah, it's really a great device with such cheap price. it's a steal!
hopefully devs can look into this phone. it's something like LG Optimus X2 of some sort.
Available here now for $280
I really like the 4.3" over my 4.1" phones,
Strange they made no 850MHz 3G units for countries that have the stronger frequency like Australia, USA, Thailand, China etc... for those that dont know 850MHz can penetrate into buildings to allow better indoor reception.
Just like to bump this thread. Any update of development?
Heey guys!
I just bought this phone 2 days ago, after my Galaxy Gio died 1,5 week ago.
I'm very happy to hear there are more satisfied users of the OT-995 who want a custom rom and XDA thread
Let's hope a good developer will also get this beautifull device!
By the way: does someone know a good way to root the Alcatel OT-995?
@ markvann: that remains the question. I still got an unrooted OT-995. tried those rooting procs, nothing works atm.

Hello Petalotis!
I just looked, and it seems there is not 512mb ram. It's exactly the same as it is with Xperia Neo V I guess, because my telephone says there's something like 370 mb ram. Normally I'm a heavy device user (except for my last one, the Galaxy Gio), but I have to say this smartphone can handle all the apps I want. I'm really happy with it, and on Quadrant Standard benchmark it even scores better than Galaxy Nexus (and on Antutu they have around the same amount of points). So I hope you don't get fooled by the 'not-so-high' amount of ram, and that you can participate in searching for OT-995 root methodes and ROMs!

I want to buy a new Android phone and this one catch my attention, i have a ZTE Blade and want to upgrade .
The launch of this phone in my country (Portugal) will be in 7 of May with the name of "Optimus Madrid" and the price maybe would be €229,90, i was searching here if anyone begun to developing custom roms to him, will be an asset.
+1 for development of this device
also I would ask the people who bought this device if they try to connect mouse or keyboard in mini usb gate ?
already seen a guide to do this in galaxy s (in this forum). Hub must accept external power because there isnt enough power in mini usb
is it possible that this works ? can you try to connect keyboard and mouse in hub or a usb flash
i would appreciate that
thank you very much
I also have the alcatel ot-995.
I''ve tried things like superonclick and z4root.
Is there any possible way to root my phone or do I just have to wait for a new rooting way.
Hello! I just bought is phone people , has as nice price!!!
And I hope someone considering spend some time to make the root possible!!

Just like to bump on this thread again.
To Devs: Hopefully someone out there who has the heart to develop a ROM for this nice phone would be love by all who bought this amazing price-to-performance phone.

This phone is perfectly capable of making 3g video calls. At least it works in Holland, where I live. Do realize that this functionality also depends on your network provider if they allow it.

Yeah, you're right! Software implementation is defenitely not as good as the hardware should allow it to be. Processor and ram are more than capable, but still there is lag where similar speced phones have none. Hopefully the promised ICS upgrade will fix this or otherwise hoping for some good 'ol custom rom development.
OT995 Potentials
I'm a freak of speed for low cost and the alcatel OT995 will definetly be
my next one!
Hopefully does developers see the potentials of this low budget device,
and make a masterpiece ready to challenge with high-end non-price-quality
phones!
I keep fingers crossed, once a project gets started, I buy one !

Jelly Bean Sound Quality on recorded videos - better than ICS?

I haven't had a chance to try the leaked jelly bean for S3 yet, but i think i saw something about the sound recording on videos being improved?
Can anyone give some more details on whats improved, does it fix the lack of bass in the recorded videos? I really want to record some good video and sound at a club night i am going to but tempted to bring my galaxy s1 lol.... which seems silly!
Thanks
Quickly rush out and buy a Nokia 808 Pureview
I spent many an hour deciding between that and SGS3. Latter won on availability.

OMG it is better the sound aint thin i love my samsung galaxy s3 yay, Samsung got something right..
In the 2nd leak it was improved but in the third leak it totally wrong.. which suggests Sammy is busy making things better. So you can expect the audio quality to be better in the final release.

It won't be long now to find out, on stock Jelly Bean 4.1 early as next week.

From what most people say, that "OTA" is just to keep people silent and tell them it's coming, it isn't done yet.
Wait for the actual full release this month.

So any test with any of the latest 4.1.1 roms ? u guys hear any video sound difference ?
I went to a concert last night and had to record a test video to see the quality of the sound.
The sound quality is def improved compared to ICS, although it still could pick up more bass. But I was almost blown away when I realized there wasn't barely any distortion at all. It was REALLY loud, still has some minor ringing in my ears.

[Q] New Android Phone - Turing Phone

Hi guys,
This new android phone " Turing Phone" news has been going around.
It is said to be unhackable, waterproof and unbreakable. (sounds like an ultimate phone to me)
The pre-order starts on July 31st for $610 (16GB), $740 (64GB), or $870 (128GB)
Here are what I can find on the specs:
-Size: Diagonal Size 5.5 in
-Processor: 2.5 GHz / Quad-core / Snapdragon 801 chip
-Camera: 13-megapixel camera
-Battery: non-removable 3,000mAh battery
-Finger Sensors: fingerprint sensor is located on left of the device.
-Doesn’t even have a USB port , uses MagSafe-like connector for charging
My question is.. Is it as good as mentioned. From the specs it does not seem that outstanding. But the looks of the phone seems pretty badass to me. Do you have more info? Let me know your opinion. Thanks.
Can anyone port the Rom to the M8?

The device itself looks great! and I am pretty excited, however, I am sure due to the security in it, porting a custom ROM onto it will be out of the question? Also, no headphone jack Guess only bluetooth headsets for this one. And root would also be out of the question?
We have to compromise on something eh
Thanks!
I reserved one, I'll post a review and some pics once received.
I've got a Wyvern on the way...concerned that it doesn't support Google Play...means, what exactly am I going to use the phone for? hmmmm...

Headphone Jack Sound Quality of Mido

Hi everybody,
Been using Redmi Note 4x for about 10 months now, and I love the phone in every way except the audio quality. Since I don't care much about the speakers, I am referring to the audio quality from the headphone jack.
I will try my best to articulate the problem so that you can understand my frustration. I would like to know: 1) Anybody else facing this? 2) Any sustainable solution?
Before Redmi Note 4, I have used a Moto G(2nd gen) & Moto X Play, and both had pretty standard audio quality, which is to say: Basic, Clean & Enjoyable. I use a Soundmagic ES18 (which is PRETTY Good, and gives a V-shaped clean sound output, very enjoyable).
Redmi Note 4 is just different in terms of sound, I don't know what or why, but after 5-10 minutes of listening, my entire body starts feeling irritated, almost as if I have been getting very mild electric shocks. Needless to say, as far as music is concerned, I am a very unhappy customer. I love music, and I just have not been able to enjoy. Plus, I don't know if my eardrums have been damaged in any way (i listen at very moderate/low levels).
I am trying to understand, is this something wrong with my particular set? If so, I have some time left in warranty to get it fixed. But if it is the sound signature of Mido in general, then has anybody come up with any solution to this? Mi Forum seems to suggest many other users complaining about the same thing, even though people describe it differently.
As I mentioned, the music listening experience is one of physical irritation. GSM Arena shows how Mido has a clean output, though it is very soft from the headphone jack. Since I use V4A, I boost the playback gain, so that is not the issue, the issue is that something about the sound signature is such that music is not enjoyable. Treble seems unnecessarily sharp, Bass feels unnecessarily synthetic & bloated, Mid-range is too harsh, and therefore, overall, the audio output is really bad, to me.
My girlfriend has the Redmi 3s, my father has the Redmi 4x (from my recommendation), and I have a MiPad. My girlfriend's and father's phones have a pretty enjoyable sound signature, so does my tablet, even though my tablet has a softer sound output, but none create any irritation. I have tested the sound from all these devices with the same earphone (ES18), and without turning on any EQs. These Xiaomi devices have a little different sound from my Moto devices, but still very enjoyable. Mido, however, is really bothering me.
Please feel free to engage with me. I am only looking to confirm what is the issue, and find out potential solutions. Please help me to enjoy music on this phone...
Thanks & Regards
Hi man! I've experienced the same issues...i didn't find a way to obtain a good quality sound. The best solution for me is to:
-try to have flac songs with high quality
-Use dolby Atmos (discovered in mi-globe rom v 9.5)
-modify the mixer.paths.mtp.xml file to increase maximum volume (i had a very low sound, with my headphones on and max volume set i can heard people talk around me)
But these are just "tricks"...i think that the hardware is the real problem!
