Still looking for true gapless playback on my galaxy siii (verizon). Here are the apps I've tried: Music Player - Not gapless. Big pause in between tracks. Google Play Music - Same as above. Winamp - It tries to be gapless but winds up cutting off the ends of the previous track. Shuttle - same as above Gapless Player - same as above I'm running out of apps to try. The ones that claim to be gapless are not. Anyone have any reccomendations?

That's called chromatic abberation, I don't think you can fix that unless you get a different lens, due to the way it bends light etc. Only way to fix that is get another phone and hope for a higher quality lens, if that's even possible.

That's not really true we have been about to fix fairly severe chromatic aberration with software for many years.

I'm a total phone newbie, on my first one in like four years, just got a Galaxy S4 last week. I notice it's running 4.2.2 which is a bit behind the curve. Is there a way to force it to update, and if I do does that risk messing something up with my carrier?

Despite what some other people might want to tell you, the last thing you should do is start messing around with stuff like rooting and installing custom roms or clearing the Google framework cache or whatever. Just sit back and enjoy your phone. The updates will come.

Anything else in 4.4.1 beyond the camera? Does WhatsApp work with ART yet?Gianthogweed posted:I'm running out of apps to try. The ones that claim to be gapless are not. Anyone have any reccomendations? That said, gapless depends on the file format. MP3 in theory can't do that, because the length of a song is defined in frames instead of samples. So if a source file overflows a few samples at the end into the next frame during encoding, you get some small amount of silence at the end. There's a defacto way to fudge it by defining the length of the sound in samples in the metadata. If a MP3 file has that metadata and the player supports it, then it can switch gaplessly to the next song. If any of the two conditions isn't met, it won't work.

I've tried some more music players to find the best gapless playback, here's what I've found: Music Player - Not gapless. Big pause in between tracks. Google Play Music - Same as above. Winamp - It tries to be gapless but winds up cutting off the ends of the previous track. Shuttle - same as above Gapless Player - same as above. You can adjust how much it cuts off, but it doesn't seem to work too well. Rocket Music Player - transitions are a little messy n7player Music Player - small gap PlayerPro Music Player - skips a bit in between tracks JetAudio Basic - does a weird fade in / fade out thing between tracks Poweramp - this one works great, unfortunately it's not free. neutron - Same as above On PC obviously foobar and iTunes work great for gapless. iTunes also works great on iPhones and iPods obviously. I think iTunes writes the meta-data for gapless playback.

Neutron is currently hosed up on 4.4. Constantly getting weird bloops and strange noises during playback that doesn't happen with any other player I've tried. If you're not on 4.4 it's well worth the money, though. hotsauce posted:My Moto X does nothing of the sort. That photo is terrible. Guess I beat the odds of color film or something because my pics absolutely don't look like that. It's a crop of an HDR photo, not the entire photo. Chromatic aberration is a well known phenomenon in photography. grack fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Dec 6, 2013 |

Endless Mike posted:Personally, I think the Moto Q Prime 4G will be the phone to get in a year. I mean, who wouldn't want the haptic, shape-changing 4K screen, blood sugar monitor, and Lynard Skynard sponsorship? Waking up to "Freebird" is vastly superior to waking up to the Vienna Boys Choir. poo poo, the wireless, contactless charging alone should make every iTard and Fandroid finally admit that the smartphone wars are over. That it gets over three days of actual use on a single charge is merely icing on the delicious Android 5.0 Lemonheads cake. As a diabetic, a blood sugar monitor would be a killer app for me. I look forward to the day when I can hand over the management my life-threatening chronic disease to the proven reliability of the Android Ecosystem  SevenStringGuru posted:This morning I got the 4.3 update for my S3.

Its 4 dollars dude just buy it, you can't possibly be that cheap. Poweramp is by far the best music app I've ever used and there's not really much reason to look any further if it does what you want it to do.

Apparently, if you're rooted, you can use GMusicFS, and it'll hook Poweramp into your Google Play Music library. I guess rooting is the first thing I do once I get my Moto X.

Its 4 loving dollars for a 1 time lifetime purchase. It will follow you from device to device, and works exactly how you want. Do you have nothing but pirated movies, video games, and music too? Buck up and pay for something jez.

hotsauce posted:My Moto X does nothing of the sort. That photo is terrible. Guess I beat the odds of color film or something because my pics absolutely don't look like that. That is a fairly high contrast image shot on a cellphone. It's probably not actual "chromatic aberration" but more likely magenta light spilling over from adjacent photosites on the tiny rear end sensor couped with overexposure. The fact that it's a cellphone, which by definition means that it's lens is mediocre at best does not help. As long as the purple fringing isn't present in every photo taken I doubt that it's defective in any way, multithousand dollar digital cameras can have the same problems under specific lighting conditions. Stop telling people to RMA their phones because you don't agree with the laws of optics.

I don't understand why the SDK doesn't install the composite USB drivers to begin with. Every time I've reinstalled Windows, then the Android SDK, it installs the regular USB driver, for ADB fuckery during normal operation, but never the composite ones for fastboot or sideload. I don't understand why there's multiple ones, anyway. --edit: I see 4.4.1 brings a new radio. I hope it'll stop with the random disconnects.

I'm deciding between my current Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition and a Moto X or Nexus 5. Lets ignore price things right now and just talk phone. I love the user replaceable battery and the micro SD slot of the S4. I don't so much like the direct sunlight viewing experience. I like the idea of the Moto X special touches like the mic and notification stuff. I like that the Nexus 5 is a real Nexus device and will get upgrades fastest. The big downside of the Moto X is screen size, and the big downside of the Nexus 5 is the lack of any Otterbox like tough cases that I can see. Thoughts?
