I use USB Audio Player Pro and it has an EQ. It's the best player if audio quality is your concern. I use a USB DAC though.

Leave everything default mostly. Battery life is good enough you don't need to mess with things too much. I did flash to the elementalx kernel and enable ART though. Google now search has a wakelock that happens occasionally so I disabled that for a while. I'll disable it permanently if it...

So I've finally discovered what was causing my random excessive battery drains. Turns out that google search is keeping my phone awake. More specifically, the AudioIn function. How can I be rid of this?

Isn't Amazon App store proprietary to kindles only? I used to work for Amazon as a kindle/may day support specialist and have no idea why anyone would want to use it over the google play store. Amazon apps/kindle apps are modified to work with kindles.

Mine lasts well for me and I push it pretty hard. I use it to play about 2 1/2 hours of music over a usb powered dac daily for my work commute (major battery drain, comparable to having gps and maps turned on constantly). Couple hours of internet browsing. Loads of texting. Connected over 4g...

I've been using ART only for a couple of weeks now. There is a definite improvement in speed and battery life overall. Some apps don't work but none of them are critical apps for me. I just delete the apps that don't work and find alternatives that do work. All my essential apps work fine as...

Maybe the ports on the router are forwarding to the other devices? My wi-fi at home is pitifully slow but my 4g speeds are about 50mbit/s so I hardly ever use wifi anymore. I have no issues with 4g speeds anyways. Is your m8 in a thick case?

Mine only did this when I overclocked it. Maybe a defective processor on yours. I've had other droid phones that did random stuff like this but I've never had it happen on my M8 (except when overclocking). Try running antutu benchmark a few times and see if it reboots in the middle of the...

This is a really nice screen protector. I'm happy with this one. Before I owned this, I had a Casebase protector, which is also cheap (£9 vs £6 for the Samar) and the Samar is much better than it. The Casebase had air pockets no matter what I did with it. You can buy the Samar screen for even...

It's an issue with the google playstore. I moved from US to Europe and had this error. You need to sign into google wallet through an actual computer and change your default country to the one you're in and delete any other addresses listed. They've also forced you to change your default payment...

I've been unintentionally using it. I guess it's been running in the background for some while now as I got a notification I had taken 10,000 steps one day. I haven't stopped it. I think it's quite neat. I walk about 3 miles a day and burn about 2700 calories a day. I had no idea...

I use tempered glass screen protectors as well. They are even cheaper here. £6. I'm using a $1 case I bought off ebay from china as the case that comes with it is a bit too thick. A thin .3mm case. Doesn't take much protection to make your phone resell-able. It's pretty much essential with this...

Nevermind. I was able to delete them all by ejecting the SD card and putting it in a card reader directly on my computer. Why is it such a pita to use when it's still in the phone?

I'm trying to delete multiple jpg and tif files off my SD card. They are album art for flacs/mp3s I've purchased. They consume unnecessary space. Currently they take up 4gigs of space on my SD card. When I use explorer and do a *.jpg or *.tif search I can see all the files I want to delete but...
