I want something like this:

I want a totally flat frequency, is it possible?
How do I do it?
I really like this phoone and listen to music all day long, but it sounds terrible right now!
Iīm new to this and have never done this before so have mercy


Sorry for my bad English!

You can't have that, if you listen to music through earphones and not through speakers a much better sound can be made if you use the W995 acoustic files and put them on your phone, although this means this phones speakers dont work anymore, until you replace the originals back

Just use something like Blacklizards HD acoustics..

I listen through headphones with Bluetooth HBH-DS205.
Will phone calls work through the earphones with bluetooth then?
Any other problems with W995 acoustics on this phone?

Does Blacklizards HD acoustics file sounds like the W995 file without to much boosted bass and trebble?
I want to boost it myself with the equalizer if I needed to.

With W995 acoutics you cant make calls so the phone becomes kinda useless, so just use this acoustic by blacklizard, it's still good:

The sound is just generally better, you can combine different acoustics to see what sounds better.
The link does work, it just takes a while to load because it's se-nse

Is there any more acoustics for C901?
If everything goes wrong, can I always restore it to the original firmware via SEUS?

No, problem to go to se-nse, itīs just that link! Strange!

Have you got the latest firmware? You don't use SEUS to go back to the original, if you do that then everything is restored to original, just make sure you have a copy of the original acoustic drivers.

Frequency response in C901 isn't great it's true but there are more important sound output parameters which are really good in C901. Besides frequency response can be improved with manual equalizer settings.

I donīt know how this works, but isnīt there anyone besides SE that can rewrite the frequensy so that will be flat again as it suppose to be from the beginning?
There are no chance to adjust the equalaizer to get the sound right in the menys, the low and high are to far away out of from the eq range.
You will here the lowest bass and highest trebble very loud anyway, atleast with good headphones, itīs annoying to only hear bass and trebble and hardly no vocals.

Wish I had some skills to try to rewrite it, but I havenīt got a clue.
Maybe the first firmware was good, anyone?

Thanks for your help!

The only thing you can do to improve sound is to put new acoustic drivers on your phone and maybe the 'megabass to clearbass' patch on it. I don't think it's about getting that flat frequency, it's just whatever sound you like the most from putting new acoustics on it. You do that with A2 Uploader...
Acoustics (.wbxml files): ifs/settings/acoustic
Acoustics (.csv files): tpa/preset/acoustic

I hope you find a sound that you like, I would say forget about the flat line frequency graph, that doesn't show much, it depends what type of music you listen to as well, how much bass/vocals/treble you want. Experiment with acoustic drivers to see which you like the most... you will be much happier with sound quality from the blacklizard HD acoustic than the one default in the C901.

Is there no file or something before the acoustic files that make that flat response and character of sound from the beginning?
This is what I thougt: First amplifier, then the file or something that creates that base flat frequency as a plattform, then all the acoustics/equalizer settings that can be custom made in the ifs filesystem! Got it wrong, right?

Maybe itīs like this then: Amp- ifs/settings/acoustics/ and nothing in between?
