I've seen a lot of android head units. Some are promising in some aspects, and they are disappointing in others. Are there any that actually have HD Radio that work in them? SiriusXM? HD screen?
I would like to listen to normal radio lot instead of just streaming data ... sound qualify is important in a head unit and it seems like all of the android head unit forget that?

Works great. I also have the tablet version on here as well. Quality is way better but it won't open the remote interface, only allows you to manually enter the channels.

Are threre any video quality diffrence between the two apps phone/tablet versions?
I mostly want to use this for the dvr shows not so much live tv. I want the tablet app if it has better video quality but not controls for dvr seems like a deal breaker.Is the phone app video quality just as good? I want to make sure before I put down $300+ and $30 for the app.
Thank you guys for your responses

I have never thought it was the greatest quality. It is very much connection specific.
We mostly use it for convienience

I have been using slingplayer for a long time. Obviously there have been upgrades over the years but I get the best quality video on my Note. I have the Slingbox Solo.
I am using slingplayer with my solo as well. Works like a charm.

Is it possible to put the tablet version of Slingplayer on the Note? The tablet version doesn't even show up on market for me.

I just got the slingbox pro hd and its okay! All the features and function is there but the video quality is okay. I get the same choppy quality in sd and hd. I have it hooked thru component with digital audio and optimum online boost 30 down 8 up in nyc. I'm happy with the box and hope maybe ICS will make the video quality better along with netflix.

I'm using Slingbox-Pro for 7 years and never had any problem with the Tilt II and now I'm using it on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy " Tablet using Android and don't have any problem either.
When I try to use it on the new samsung focus S, The windows phone reqired that you must change the slingbox pro to slingbox pro-HD. I did that, spent $250 for the slingbox pro-hd, it works for 3 months then the power supply input on the pro-hd burned up. Now I switched back to the Slingbox pro and still working good with my android tablet but will not work on the windows phone. I think the windows phone SUCK !!!.I'll switch to the Samsung Galaxy Note as soon it come out. Stay away from windows phones. Regars,
I'm getting a lot of background noise no matter which station I listen to.
I tried both the HOX & the S3 & the HOX is as clear as a bell.
Is anyone else getting background with the FM Radio? Its a like a buzzing, whurring sound
Hi
I swapped my one X for the gs3.
I use to face a really annoying issue with the .fm radio on the HTC.
Often when I wanted to deactivate the radio, I didn't have anymore sound in the phone.
I had to go back to the radio app wait for the sound to come back and then deactivate it again. This way the sound was back. Did you notice such a bug ?
Therefore I have also noticed the background noise on the Samsung. I also didn't have that on the HTC.

I'm guessing not many people use the fm radioby the lack of responses.
Even if you don't use it can you have a go & let me know if you have the issues I have mentioned.
Its really poor if this is a fault with the s3
Anyone have a go or having theses issues?
Background noise is noticeable on my device. It might be caused by me not using the intended Samsungs earphones.

I am using far better quality earphones than the ones in the box & I have background hiss.
Me too: Sennheiser IE-80. The FM radio is the only app that produces that hissing noise. Just to be sure, I'll try another radio app later.

Has anyone tried a different radio app?
Is there anyway of letting samsung know about this problem?
Can the Devs do anything about it with their Roms?
What's a good Dubstep radio app for Android? I've used quite a lot but none of them play anything really 'brutal', it's all too soft. Thanks!

I use Tune-in Radio Pro, and have came across alot of dubstep stations within that, but i guess it just depends on when you listen to the station as no station is going to play non-stop same genre/sub-genre of music, they will have allocated time slots for dj's ect.. Most of these stations on tune-in have web based counterparts where you can browse a schedule, might be of use for you to find what you want once you have found some stations..
It is seriously getting on my nerves and turning off the radios does nothing.
Turn off beats.

That's not the only problem. When you stream through Google Music or Pandora or even YouTube, (WiFi or not) the 4G LTE radio causes another buzzing. HTC has confirmed this, but has yet to release a fix.

I know that, but since the op said he turned off radios I was assuming he was listening to music stored on his device.

Yeah. Spotify, YouTube, PowerAmp are the apps I use. And all get the annoying buzz.
That headphone amp doesn't do us much good with all this buzz...

There really is no fix possible, it's not a software problem, it's hardware.
You may also have a defect in your device. I've never heard buzz and us Google Music and beats...

Sane here. This is the first phone I've used that doesn't give me a buzz when using the headphone jack with a an aux plug to a car stereo using any apps. Beats on or off.
I have a buzz through crappy skull candy headphones but through my astro a40 headset I dont get a buzz. Maybe our phones just like quality? Hahaha

I actually have noticed this as well. Even though I wouldn't consider by JVC XX crappy or cheap, they do buzz while my klipsch do not.
Since, from what I have read, only a handful of us are experiencing this issue, I can only assume that only a handful of the devices are defective. So, I called up verizon yesterday and told them that my DNA has a hardware defect, and they are sending me a brand new device! (the DNAs are so new that they don't have refurbished ones yet)

Haha, this could be it, considering I am also using skull candy headphones....
But it also happens through the speaker for me on low volumes.

Was it really that easy? It seems as if my problem is getting worse with time, you think they will send me one without hassle?
I got it through a third party verizon store, do you think that will be an issue?

Yep, Really easy! And my DNA was purchased for me by a buddy that works at go wireless. So I doubt that you'll have any issues.

I googled it but it talks about file sharing. I can't find anything talking about "talking". Is there an app for non rooted phones. I can root, but I'm sure my friends won't. I want to run something with a headset and mic and cruise on the motorcycle within a few yards versus buying the $350 deal.
I personalty don't think it will work even if there was an app. My jabra cuts out streaming when the phone us in my back pocket vs my front. You may be better off with the small handheld walkie talkies. Just have to figure out the where tk mount the button.

I think you're right. It sucks as it is, so 20 feet away it will cut out for sure.
There is a product by Xlink called cell gateway, you might be able to setup something over WiFi between you and the other person but not sure if it's designed for that..
