[Q] Dr Dre Beats on Arc - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys.
I have a problem:
My dad bought himself an XE with Dr. Dre Audio beats and gave me his Headset.
But every time when I want to connect it to my arc it says that it's not supported.
Is there any fix/rom out to fix this issue?
Thank you.
Yours, Kuro

have the same issues as urs dude.. =(

you cannot use HTC, samsung, and iphone on ours sony ericssons...
Sony, nokia etc has the same...but incompatibile with htc,samsung,iphone...
sorry mate...its hardware problem..you should cut out end of headset and put your own connector, or open up phone and change this connector

Lol really?
Well, I got some Sony (not SE) in-ears which worked in 2.3.2 w/o problems, but now in 2.3.4 they doesn't work("Not supported"). But: on 2.3.2 the Dr. Dre Beats worked, but the Sound was a little bit "fuzzy" so it's a software prob, isn't it?

i cant acctually comment that, but what i said before is true.
It was thread about that month or two ago, this is what i remember.

I know that most of new phones can change polarity of connector automatic (by software) because all of headphones (not necessary branded by mobile manufacturers) have different connector...some use 2nd pin for ground, some not...so it is software problem, I would say even marketing...because they want us to buy their branded headsets...

well .. i have studio beats by dr.dre and i've tried it on nokia n8 and xperia arc and also ipod touch .. and it's workin great .. so i dont think it's something about connectors ..
( maybe ) your beats has it's own software on XE, that's why it shows the beats logo when u connect them .. but im not sure about that

i tried it on stock 2.3.4
it's working good on MIUI 2.1.6 as well
sry for late reply

But those are Studio... There is no MIC pin on connector...it is all about it!

I've got beats when I first connected them it says accessory not supported,I went into tescos here in UK and picked up a pair of smartphone headphones for about seven quid they come with an extra little adapter for certain brands of phones , plugher my beats in with the adapter and work fine

thanks for the heads up alunboi..just use the adapter that u suggest and all the problem will gone.. ^^

Thank you alun.
Do you maybe know how much such an adapter costs?

The one I've got came with a set of headphones but the headphones were less than £8 I don't know exactly where u would get one on its own , do a search for smartphone headphones and see what comes up they included the adapter so the headphones would work with certain brands of phones eg Samsung Sony e.t.c I just tried it with the beats headphones out of curiosity and it worked beats are ky everyday headphones now

There are a lot better sounding head sets than beats that are cheaper but any set will "work" I think head sets with forward/back buttons usually only work on iphones.

It does not have a few transmitter. Maybe it comes in a custom rom. But I doubt that.

FM Transmitter as in listening to radio or am I understanding completely wrong?
no no transmitter means it transmits fm frequencys set by the user to play music wirelessly i. e in simple words if u set 92.5 fm frequency on ur phne and same on ur car radio u can listen to the songs
however it has low range so can be done only in a car.. same as our wifi
all the cheaper nokia phones has it.. idk y our phne doesn't have nokia c7, n8, e7 has it

Not gonna happen
For any phone to support Fm transmitter it needs specific hardware, it cannot be done with software or a custom rom, if that were the case, our devs would have done it by now... since the one v does not have the hardware component inbuilt for the fm transmitter, it wont support it... if anybody tells you otherwise, they are bluffing...
Sorry mate, no luck... Hope i answered yo question...

What is Beats audio?

There are some custom rom for DHD include beats.
I don't know why DHD can use Beats.
Doesnt HTC one series have special hardware tip for beats?
Is beats just an software equalizer ?
HTC one series' beats is worthless if so.

Yes beats is just software equalizer. I really don't see the hype but people are obsessed with it right now. You could literally get the same sound by setting eq levels yourself. The app volume + has an eq setting for beats in it and I have used that side by side with beats and it is the same.

I've always asked the same question to myself. I believe it is some kind of software equalizer, but you will notice it better with the corresponding hardware (those famous expensive Beats headsets). I'm not to much into music listening so I can't tell the difference.

That's actually been proven false and I think HTC and dre have gotten some heat for it. Any good headphones will work. They don't have to be beats headphones.

Its a software equalizer basically. Just a link to download it.http://androidadvices.com/install-beats-audio-package-android-device/

Certainly,I think the reaction of consumers are too excessive for Beats

Yeah, more like "look at me, I'm wearing ultra expensive headphones".
Dr Dre was one of the richest celebs last year because of how he ripped off HTC and I guess HP with this gimmick.

HTC phones are the first and only smartphones to give you legendary Beats Audio sound. Customized Beats by Dr. Dre headphones also come with select devices.
Authentic Sound. With Beats Audio, your sound is truly an experience. Play games, watch movies, listen to music, and hear every detail. Plus, access your apps, libraries, and Internet radio in one place
Dolby or srs sound more better than beats with headphones like akg or sonny..

"Beats Audio" is a marketing gimmick, nothing more.
Ok the earphones/ headphones are just to expensive. But you are talking about Beats Audio. I've tried...and there is no equalizer like Beats. I've tried with an eqaulizer. I suggest trying it yourself...you WILL...notice the difference in the music in-ear headphones only.

I have tried beats audio and headphones on my friends rezound phone. I then tried the beats setting in volume + with my headphones on my inspire. Sorry but mine sounded better. I wanted beats to be cool because I thought it was a neat idea but it turns out its just a bunch of bull. If you can find a program that will set your eq settings at the same levels then you will get the exact same effect. The reason mine sounded better is because my headphones are better than beats headphones. So the end result, good headphones equals good sound. Eq levels are just that.

That's what I meant, beats audio with better headphones not the crappy beats headphones.

[Q] Xperia Play vs HTC One V

Hi guys
I'm thinking about changing my HTC One V to Xperia Play... is it worth? Some people say that Xperia-slider phones quickly get broken badly.. I've read that after few months of using phone don't looks as well as at the beggining, too... and is rooting, unlocking bootloader and flashing ROMs and kernels processes are complicated? It will be nice if Xperia Play long-time (something about 1 year) owners will say something about advantages and disadvantages of this phone... in stock or custom
Thanks in advance

Had mine almost 18 months and still going strong, no issues. Slider works great still and I have been completely satisfied with this phone and dont plan on getting rid of it for a long time. I find this phone is much easier to mod/hack then my old Motorola phones.
suerly it worth ,
xplay is really really #1 in compared to 1 core phones !
change it my friend , welcome to "god of one core " phone
I hope that there's no issues with BT headphones, too?

Well yea the screen is only strengthened mineral glass and not guerilla glass like most phones so it will show some wear at least mine does nothing a screen protector won't solve though and well by far the xperia line is a lot better when it come to flashing and SW moding then the HTC line trust me, with the HTC line you gotta deal with the s-on and a BL and all that crap and well Sony just has a BL that's unlockable and is like a nexus device when it comes to easy moding.

Seconded
Also with the HTC line you sometimes need to make a Gold Card or a Y-cable for flashing.
On the Play, If your screen gets scratched, just remove the built in screen protector

It depends if it was overclocked alot. Xperia plays are tricky if your buying it used.
