lo ppl,
first I wanna thank all of you guys who participated in the research, THX A LOT!
ok, now that's done, I wanna ask something. I've got a W810i vodafone branded, I am thinking of flashing it with davinci. But is it possible to remove the hiss on this phone, and if possible on that davinci firmware?
Posted by tupac1
w810i doesn't work with far manager, so at the moment u cant get rid of the hiss.

askd,,thank u
i wana ask u which files should i put it in K750I
acoustic R1BC
or
acoustic R1L
what about PHF_2_play.apf and No_Hissing
what should i put to get great sound?
Posted by dreams
I was wondering about one thing.. can anyone crank up the volume on the earpiece speaker??? After R1L I think the volume on the earpiece speaker has gone down so much I can hardly hear it when the environment is noisy.. before it was ok.

i just flashed my k750i to a w800i and it worked ok , i "used davinci team" so far no hissing . just same as in k750i firmware.

hey all. i don't think you're gonna like this.
first off, many thanks to akshay for releasing these files. but i gotta ask the question, with what do you guys listen to your phones? i have r1bc + akshay's latest files + a pair of sennheiser cx300s and the second i push the walkman button it starts hissing pretty badly.
btw the senns are a must have for the price, seriously, they are a steal, i couldn't believe how cheap they were for the sound - think somewhere between an ex81 and low-end etymotics. the hpm-70 compared to it sounds laughable: hollow, very muddy, tinnish, no bass, very artificial annoying highs (much like the ex71).
and that's what i don't get: why would anyone need horrible crap like megabass? you obviously like the music you're listening to. you put it on your walkman, right. so, why mess up the sound the poor recording engineers created so bad?
wouldn't it be better if you had a phone that reproduced music the way it was heard by the artist when they created it? wouldn't it be cool to have your little walkman reproduce it as accurately as possible?
doesn't that make sense? i mean forget megabass, and all this eq crap, buy a good canalphone and plug it deep into your earcanal. and what's with finding a can "too sensitive"? is there such a thing as too sensitive really?

So i've been away for a while. I used the PHF_2_play.apf of R1L and all the rest of the R1BC files. Hissing was still there, but at a acceptable level. So I was happy.
I returned to this item today and couldn't resist in testing the new PHF_2_play.apf files.
I must say I'm impressed! IMO the hissing is gone! With the HPM-70 you can't hear any hissing at all. With the Sony EX-71 or Sennheiser CX-300 you can hear a tiny little hiss, but you have to be in a total silent room and be really focussed to hear it. (You can't hear is with music on!)
Secondly the sound quality stays on top. With the first drivers ASKD supplied, the hissing was better, but sound quality was less good. Now sound stays at the same high level!
@metatext
You are right. The Sennheiser cx300 are superb. The Sony EX71-81 are good, but these are much better.
Sound is amazing and the senns produce a higher volume then any other earphone I've used.
I've discussed this Megabass issue before. I can't understand why anyone would need this either, but hey ... sound is a very subjective thing. Everybody is free to listen to music the way they want!
Can't undertand why you have hissing with the latest PHF_2_play.apf file.
I use the R1BC acoustic files + the latest PHF_2_play.apf file with my cx300 and there is no hissing.
Can you tell me what equalizer settings you are using with your cx300's, metatext ?
I use 9-8-7-8-9 bars for the moment.

Just wanted to add that I had not reproduced so far the bug I encoutered before (the chainsaw sound).
Thus, my "one file only" change is really worthy.
Thanks again for this excellent hybrid sound driver!

Assuming Far eventually (hopefully) supports the W550/600 phones, should this fix work for them as well?
Posted by 2uk3y
sorry if i'm so noob......
i read all posts in here..... a bit confuse....
i got W800i R1AA...... so which files must i use ????
Posted by Xema
@2uk3y:
You only need to change PHF_2_play.apf under ifs/setting/acoustic.
Posted by 2uk3y
from this post is it .......??
if yes thanks...

ok i'll try then !!! thanks
Posted by max_wedge
*&%@ me sideways!!! Just tried the driver it is mind blowing! It IS much better, not just a little. Actually on that combo, R1BC and PHF_play_2 I don't get any volume increase but WHO CARES
The quality is awesome. Some of my lower bitrates actually sound bearable.
And megabase....
Who ever thought mega base could be useful (for some songs anyway).
Totally sick!
Posted by 2uk3y
so which one u recommend ????

what are the differences using the R1BC drive than the RIL? [both using PHF_2_play.apf ]

Never had any hissing. But this driver gives better audio performance than the original driver. And as I said the megabase works.
Posted by g-roxx0304
I never had any hissing also but this driver truly makes the audio sounds better,just like what max said.
Posted by tupac1
megabass distortion was only in the first firmware RIL
Posted by max_wedge
My cell has never been able to play megabase without unacceptable distortion, and I've used R1J, R1L, R1A, R1B, R1C, firmwares along the way.
Particularly unuseable when using headphones. The hybrid now I can play at the same loudness but without distortion.

i see.......
Posted by arnarn911
which version of acoustic files is best combined with the PHF_2_play.apf?
Posted by 2uk3y

Posted by arnarn911
UP!
Posted by kotsy
The quality is phenomenal!
Posted by 2uk3y
@kotsy

Before my phone had problems and had to be sent away for repairs I had been testing all driver changes as much as I could. I aactually lost a lot of sleep for some stupid reason!!!! Since getting my phone back I have been testing again as the repair agent was kind enough to reflash my phone back to the official R1BC f/w after repairing a h/w fault with the phoen.. From my testing I have found that all you need is the Phf_2_play.apf from the R1L drivers to overcome the static and excessive crackles. I have tried every solution offered in this thread and am still convinced that this one driver is all you need to get rid rid of tha horrid static/hissing sound. Note: This does come with compromises (as do the other solutions). They are 1) Megabass distortion - at full Vol you may get it with some song. But I don't use mega base. 2) if you pump your eq up to full on all settings some songs will distort - drop your settings back a little and all will be good. Oh, and for those doubting Toms that claim other ill effects - I have not experienced them. This would stand to reason as I believe the PHF in PHF_2_Play stands for "Personal Hands Free". Hence no effect on speaker.

hi mongoose, max_wedge and others have stated that the megabass distortion is fixed. Have you tried the new edited PHF_2play file? i can't test it of yet cause my handsfree is broken. Sounds like a perfect driver.
[ This Message was edited by: tupac1 on 2006-07-25 15:02 ]
Posted by mongoose3800
I don't think the Megabase is fixed. At lower volumes it's probably acceptable but once you go to full volume it rattles and distorts - worse than R1BC version. Megabase has never been perfect and really only causes problems when a song has a lot of "Doof-Doof" in it. I'm not sure what mix of drivers others have included but all I have is the original R1BC drivers with PHF_Play_2.APF from the R1L firmware. To be honest I couldn't tell the difference between this and the beta driver AKSD put together. If someone has a better mix of drivers I'm more than willing to try them.

This driver is based on the W900 driver

I have R1CA021 firmware on my k750i and i use the R1BC files, and the PHF_2_play.apf file from the w900 driver, works perfect for me, no hissing at all! thnx aksd!
Posted by 2uk3y
@ frz_1985
what do u mean "i use the R1BC files" ....???
do u install all the R1BC acoustic files in ur phone ???
Posted by frz_1985
@ 2uk3y: yess, it makes a different for me, then only put the 2_play file in the folder, with the whole folder the quality of the mp3 sounds better than before, but maybe it's my personal taste..
Posted by Phips
Thank you thank you!!
All I wanted to say!!
Posted by tupac1
mongoose try the w900i file not the R1L one. Big difference in loudness and megabass. perfecto
[ This Message was edited by: tupac1 on 2006-08-01 07:20 ]
Posted by mongoose3800
O.K. I am trying it. I really don't know that I can tell the difference but will try it for a while and let you know. I asume you have combined this version with original R1bc files??.
Posted by 2uk3y
i guess we all can hear the different using big speaker....
maybe using earphone not much different .....
by using big speaker like 5.1 speaker system or above u can hear the different....
esspecially the bass...... very2 loud n clear .......
to hear which driver is the best.... just set the volume like maybe 1/2....
then test it..... which one is better..........???
Posted by tupac1
yup use the r1bc with the w900i file. im using this, everything seems to be perfect.

I wouldn't say it was fixed as such, but it was a LOT better. But what I was really impressed with was the general audio quality improvement (which is I suspect why the megabass wasn't so distorted). That's in comparo to R1BC - so maybe if as mongoose says R1L drivers are good, I compare my current "fixed" driver against R1L, I may not find much difference. I'll give it a go when I get a chance.
Posted by tupac1
got the pleasure to try that.
the r1l distorts on megabass near the highs and has very low volume. crackles and such is more present.
the w900i file has higher volumes, megabass is improved heaps and is totally fixed if you use better earphones(distorts abit when its on the very max volume for the hpm-70) and there is less crackles. hell yeah, thats how you role. XD

The driver delivers BETTER sound minus distortion, no doubt. But from what I have seen, the quality sound can only be experienced when you're using the SE earphones. When I connected my w800i to my surround system, nothing seem quite right. Either the Bass was not punchy enough, or the mid-frequenies were too high; I just could not get the kind of sound a normal mp3 player(non-mobile) would deliver. Is it something to do with the driver. The surround system can't be the culprit as i have been using it for quite some time now and to my satisfaction. Any suggestions??? Thanx
Posted by tupac1
Set the equalizer to normal or try manually setting the equalizer(preset).
Tried the w800i in my friends car using subwoofers. sounds normal to me when on the right settings.
