I'm sorry, I appreciate you mix music professionally, but others who do the same tell a different story. So is your version of the truth the only one?

I am not a professional music person, so my opinion probably doesn't count, but I have worked and talked with those in your diverse profession. If you're version of the truth is such, it would appear that most high-end Amp, CD and speaker makers do not share your sentiment. For example NAID, provides a volume control and that's it.

I don't want to start an argument, and I'm not really interested in a discussion, as it totally subjective.

One thing is true though - not all music players are equal, and as Marc said the most important thing is a good pair of headphones and music recorded at a decent bit-rate to ensure the quality of sound.

That's my 2pence worth, and lets just get along

Hi All.
Can you use the X1 without a simcard as is possible with most Winmob. phones?
Thanks in advance!



Yep, certainly can. I downloaded all my contacts and set it up, without the sim.

True.

As whybe put it, EQ is important when mixing audio. It's part of the artistic process and also part of the process of ensuring the audio sounds the way the artist meant it.

However, once it is mixed, then the only need for EQ is to compensate for inadequate playback equipment, adjust for poor listening environments, or as in radio to appeal to particular type of listener.

Sound personality in radio, like advertising, is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. In pop stations for example this will be one kind of EQ setting, in Classical it will be another. Also, radio station technocrats will assume that most people will listen to their station in a particular kind of poor listening environment and will adjust EQ to ensure their station still sounds good even in these poor listening environments (busy cafes, noisy cars etc). This involves a massive trade off in listening fidelity in quiet, sound isolated listening environments (for example in-ear headphones).

When we are listening through decent in-ear headphones on adequate quality playback devices it shouldn't be necessary to adjust EQ too much.

However that said it doesn't mean you won't one day be blasting your tunes from your W910 over A2DP to a crappy stereo and decide to use the inbuilt EQ to rectify the situation somewhat

I have installed tochflo 3D. While installing my phone rang. It seems to have worked but it does crsh a lot. Come to think if it coreplayer has frozen a few times and so has the calls menu. Opera also crashes regularly.

Am I in need of a firmware update or something or have I installed to much to the phone or something?


Posted by Dogmann
Hi all,

Well it does indeed seem as most of us have the same opinion as of course an artist and producer are tweaking the sound to how they wish it to be whilst in a recording studio.

My argument was that Music is not mixed with the idea that the end user should then use EQ to make it sound right, as this i totally disagree with and it seems so does the_mont and Max. In as much that using EQ on most devices as there are always exceptions to any rules is trying to make up for the inadequacies of the hardware that the Music is being played on.

Really the best results on decent hardware with well encoded Music and decent ear/head phones is not to have to use EQ. As really boosting any single frequency or a combination of frequencies will not give the best soundstage.

For me i look for a well balanced sound stage with a rich warm sound and where the individual instruments can be heard and appreciated. Just being very loud or Bass heavy doesn't equate to being good quality well not for me it doesn't.

But lets leave this with us agreeing to diagree as it has been discussed numerous times before in threads dedicated to the subject and has little to do with the X1.

Other than the X1 does not have an EQ nor IMO does it need one as Music encoded @256kbps AAC sounds very good indeed using a good set of ear phones in my case Shure EC2g's. As after moving the slider up on both the device and phone volume controls it was also loud enough to.

Marc

Took another indoor photo with the exposure down -1.5.


I must say i am satisfied with the result of the camera, just need some tweeking..

The time between you press the button until the photo is taken is to long thou.
You can speed it up a little bit by pressing halfway on the button and take focus first.

Maby it futher firmware they make it a bit faster..

Hi there,

My phone has only crashed twice once before I installed anything (so I put that down to Windows) and once after I've installed TouchFlow.

Based on my general IT knowledge (I am an IT consultant) but limited knowledge of Windows Mobile, I cannot say if TouchFlow was responsible for my 2nd crash. However I do not have many other programs installed and I use the player supplied with TouchFlow as it provides a good sound equal (if not better) to that of the internal player.

Most O/S Windows or otherwise (I work with Unix O/S FYI) require a certain amount of free memory to swap things in and out, for normal use. If you have a number of large programs running, obviously memory & battery will suffer. When in the "today screen" shutdown any programs that you are not using, as that might help.

How much free memory do you have on your X1 (not including the memory card)?

What I do, is install all music/data files, etc. on my external SDHC card, and my free memory currently is:

Storage: 95.23Mb
Program: 126Mb

Others have mentioned that SPB Panel on the SE website might be better than TouchFlow, but I can only test one Shell at a time .

If I experience your problems or have more crashes, I'll report back here. I don't work for TouchFlow, so I have no reason to plug it. If it falls to live up to expectations I will kick it into touch, but so far my experience (as reported on an early page) has been a positive one.

Obviously if freeing up memory doesn't work for you, I would uninstall it and try the SPB shell.

@Dogmann, the_mont & max:
Yes, this could be a long topic in and of itself

But, there is a reason tone controls are provided on any decent consumer playback system. As I said before, they are to be used as seasoning by the listener. You could very well listen with no EQ on a decent pair of headsets. But, to improve things, learn how to tweak an EQ with your favorite music and you'll be pleasantly surprised to hear very satisfactory improvements to the sound.

Max, you were pretty much in line with what I was saying.
However, once it is mixed, then the only need for EQ is to compensate for inadequate playback equipment, adjust for poor listening environments, or as in radio to appeal to particular type of listener.

For this statement however, I must add that what I have bolded is the case 99.9% of the time

If you Google something like "loudness war", you will read that many artists nowadays actually hate the way their finished product sounds because of certain processing insisted upon by the record companies.

Ok, we're all "sort of pointing in the same direction, using different paths", however your statement above still does not hold true of all "better" than decent hi-fi makers.

Actually I'd go as far to say that all top Amp makers (used to work in a hi-fi shop) do not have "any" tone controls", so are they wrong?

I agree, especially for audiophiles, but I guess I also understand whybe's "seasoning" argument. While I am a vanilla man myself (I like my music as it was produced generally), using EQ is like putting a colour filter over a photo with already perfect colour balance. But then John Lennon wore rose tinted glasses everywhere, so I guess if it's okay for John Lennon to "false colour" everything he sees, it's okay for people to false colour their music if it suits their sense of aesthetics.

It's 100% personal preference.

I'm not into Hi-Fi stuff, but, I can guarantee you that those amplifiers are touted for the tonal characteristics it imparts onto the sound--which is, in essence, it's frequency response (EQ), and dynamics handling. This is especially true with tube-based amps. So in effect, they have indeed manipulated the sound, they just took the controls out of your hands! So, in effect, your choice of Hi-Fi amp is also your choice of EQ. Same goes for speakers and to a lesser extent, the playback device. Most people don't know how to use EQ's...but that's another subject.

Also, another reason there are no tone controls, is because they may be expecting you to add your own separate EQ. This would most likely be of higher quality than anything built-in and it allows you the choice of EQ type. Professional amplifiers also have no tone controls built-in. It is expected that you would be supplying your own.

Very interesting how someone asking if there is an equalizer turn into such great information. I too like my music with equalizer turned off. However, I find the use of equalizer very useful for less than perfect equipment or when music source, pre-amp, amp, speakers are with different brand or when there is less than perfect room, etc.

I believe chances are that you cannot compare the phone to those expensive system and your earphone to those expensive speaker... oh dont forget those thick speaker cables too... so I guess equalizer for a phone doesn't hurt... besides, you can always leave it flat...

A general question coming from an S60 background is it something of a steep learning curve to adjust to the X1?

I have been reading about this on various forums & this is the impression I get.

Personal perception and opinions aside, think we've cover this subject enough, so lets return this forum to the X1 discussion.

Reminder to those not following, the question was: "does the X1 have an equaliser?"

Answer: No. Other players are available for download though

Hi All,

Is anybody experiencing any problems installing Tom Tom 6 software on the X1??? it doesnt seem to be happening for me any one else having problems??

Also im really stuck between panels. I think its the battle etween looks and function. The SBP panel is easier to use cos you dont really need to use the stylus...and the xperia panel looks nicer with the analogue clock and flashy colours but is not as user freindly on the fingers.

Dont think there is the prefect panel that balances both aspects...any thoughts?

No fraid not - I don't agree with them personally. Music is extensively mixed by professional when the original recordings are made, so why change it?

BTW - Volume level is very good. There is a bass boost of sorts, called "Audio Booster".

Chris

@the_mont:
Actually, professionals mix music "flat", meaning it is mixed full well knowing listeners are going to manipulate it with their equalizers or tone controls (Bass and Treble). Mixing flat ensures that their recording will sound best on the broadest range of playback systems (from iPods to Big stereo systems to car stereos). Listening to music with no equalization is like eating food with no seasoning...you can do it, but most people like to personalize it to their taste. I believe D-Southwest wants to add tons of bass (like me ). And no recording is going to give that sound without using an equalizer.

@D-Southwest:
Here are some applications listed on Handango that feature equalizers:
LCG Jukebox
Pocket Player
VITO Sound Explorer

I'm sure there are plenty others.


Thanks WhyBe

I like to listen to my favorite hiphop music with mega bass

I put tomtom 7 on no problems. Works fine. Now just have to sell my standalone unit.

As for panels, have been usinf touchflow 3d. Apart form a few niggles it runs smoothly. The spb one looks good but havent used it much.

Few queries tho. With touchflow 3d I can't seem to produce a playlist in the music menu. I click add playlist but nothing happens. Also the youtube link on the internet page doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix these issues?

I would assume one of those cards is a different class than the other. Though, it is not clear on that site. The higher priced card has a circled 4 on the picture of the card. I think this means class 4, which indicates a higher transfer rate. I don't know what class SDHC X1 requires though.

They better make it on time because the T-Omnia is coming out and is coming out fast. Finaly, a all arounder with a decent camera on a WM device. I am very much tempted of getting mine before christmas I see Korea (once again when it comes to Samsung) will get it first (like in now). It looks like T-Omnia is what X1 should have been (minus the panels gimmick)

X1 has the best camera I've seen so far on a WM device. It's crap compared to the K800 or even the K750, but still way better than other WM devices. Actually the X1 camera photos are fantastic at about 50 percent resize, well and truly enough to print really great 6x4 holiday snaps. Colour balance is quite good.

But like all WM cameras at full resolution too many compression artifacts.

whybe is correct although that is still quite expensive. I rang x1 support and they said x1 supports all classes. I could not find a class 6 16gb card tho LOL. I dont think they exsist, yet. best i could find was a class 6 8gb

Class 2 = 2mb per sec

Darn, I was about to let you have it.

I would have always considered the one with an 'e' a mispelling. I never see that one. But googling both words shows far more definitions for the one with the 'i'. It is the most common spelling over here. Different spellings...same meanings.

Actually I'd go as far to say that all top Amp makers (used to work in a hi-fi shop) do not have "any" tone controls", so are they wrong?

I'm not into Hi-Fi stuff, but, I can guarantee you that those amplifiers are touted for the tonal characteristics it imparts onto the sound--which is, in essence, it's frequency response (EQ), and dynamics handling. This is especially true with tube-based amps. So in effect, they have indeed manipulated the sound, they just took the controls out of your hands! So, in effect, your choice of Hi-Fi amp is also your choice of EQ. Same goes for speakers and to a lesser extent, the playback device. Most people don't know how to use EQ's...but that's another subject.

Also, another reason there are no tone controls, is because they may be expecting you to add your own separate EQ. This would most likely be of higher quality than anything built-in and it allows you the choice of EQ type. Professional amplifiers also have no tone controls built-in. It is expected that you would be supplying your own.

One of my mates used to be a reviwer/ tester for a a HiFi magazine and would get all sorts of kit to test listen.
He told me that:

All high end equipment designed for classical music was set to give neutral sound (hence no tone controls on the gear) and all the special CD recordings produced for clasical listening where set up in the same way (and BTW they cost a fortune about £50 each!)

Most Japanese equipment Technics etc is set to emphasise bass and treble even when set to flat.

Most British, European & US equipment Cambridge labs, Blaupunkt Marantz etc is set to give flat sound and "Pop Music" CD's are recored to emphasise Bass and Treble

I cant guarantee that this is correct but I can say when I first switched from a Pioneer to a Blaupunkt Hi Fi in my car, I thought it was faulty as it sounded so "flat"! and my Technics Home Hi Fi is certainly sharper and harder to my ears than my mates Cambridge system.

I find that I like my W960 better than any Hi Fi as the in ear headset I use gives me better reproduction without too much bass boom and I can move around my home and still hear my favorite recordings without having the amp set to "26"!

Apparently the American English spelling of "artifact", adhered to by 250 million Americans, isn't good enough for his stiff upper lip.

The fact is, either use is correct. Wiki confirms this, as does the link below:

One complaint I have seen mentioned a number of times about the X1 is the back that it uses small fonts, is their no way of correcting this?

Let's hope that SE won't integrate ROM updates for their WM devices in SEUS somehow.

With all other brands you get the ROM updates through one .exe file which is an offline installer and includes everything which is required.

As soon as you run it, your device enters the bootloader (flash mode) automatically and once it's finished, all is done and your device reboots.

As for your question if SE will make any updates available, yes, I believe they will.

They may release:

1. OS upgrades > n/a until WM 7 is out (ROM update)
2. Major OS & system updates (ROM update)
3. Minor updates for the functionality of bluetooth, camera, etc. (CAB files)
