    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    Hmm... Maybe its not so great after all.  The verdict is still out for me.  I may delete it too.

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    Dim your screen, or use the auto-dim function. Use program like greenify or shutapp to stop rogue apps from running in the background.  shutapp is my preference turn off wifi / cellular signals while not using them. Turn off the 32 bit DAC-everywhere app if you don't need it.   I use app...

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    I use an app called shutapp... its a little more stream-lined than greenify IMHO.  But it basically does the same thing to extend battery life.  Facebook is ALWAYS running in the background though.  I will probably delete it.

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    x2... for a $700 device + $$$ headphones (which don't come with the V10).  $4 hardly seems like its worth worrying about.  Admittedly I really didn't use the free version long enough to form a real strong baseline for comparison.  I listened to a couple tunes and knew it was the right player for...

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    Yeah the V10 finger print sensor is buggy.... with or without the case for me.  When I first got the phone (without case for a couple days)  it worked OK some of the time.  Then I got the otterbox and it didn't work at all.  So I just turned it off for about a week and ignored it.  A week later...

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    Yeah I had the V10 barely 1.5 days without a case.  I figured I would surf around amazon and the youtube reviews and maybe order one once I make up my mind what case to get.  Pins and needles the whole time!!!  Marched right back into the Verizon store and got the otterbox.  Didn't even bother...

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    So far so good, its about what I expected for a rubber-ized plastic phone.  I use an otterbox defender, so its kind of a moot point.  Theres NO WAY I would use this phone without a very beefy case.  I am very rough with my phones.   I am coming from an iphone 5C which is built like a brick.  I...

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    You don't need an impedance adapter to trigger the AUX mode.  Just a short 1/8 TRS M-F cable is all you need.   I tried to trick my V10 into the 50-600 ohm setting with 75 and a 125 ohm resistive adapters, and my Grados and it made the sound all muddy, distorted, quiet and congested.  Weird...

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    K701/7xx I think is a better phone for this player.  It has a better image / soundstage that suits the V10 player better than the HD600 (or my HD650).

    Yeah I got mine on 12/31.  Happy so far.

    Has anyone tried this player with the 600 ohm Beyers?... 880/770/990 ?

    The future of the mini-jack

    Yeah most definitely... I beat the living crap out of that iPhone 5C with the Lifeproof case and Griffin survivor series cases.  The 5C is a bomb proof phone... physically.  As an avid outdoor enthusiast, backpacking, camping and the likes the iPhone 5C was in regular use in the field as my main...

    The future of the mini-jack

    I had nothing but problems with my iPhone lightning connector cables.  I averaged a lightning cable failure every 3-4 weeks in the two years I had an iPhone.  Made no difference whether it was Apple original, clone generic, ATT store brand, or Amazon basic.  The cable strain relief on all of...

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    Just throwing this one out there... the Denon music player app does not play ALAC lossless (.m4a).  I loved that player on the iPhone.  Bummers... $5 gone.  LOL

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    Its a little quirky...  But for me its been stable.  I have not needed to root my Verizon V10, If it matters I paid the $3-4 for the previous release version.  It was the best option for playing alac lossless (.m4a), being a recent iOS convert.   One thing I don't like is it continually runs...

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    I guess the obvious question needs to be raised.... How many of us have high enough bit-rate Data to really expose the sonic differences?... and is the native instrumentation, and mastering itself capable of highlighting the differences?   I know for a fact I do not.... Most of my favorite...

    LG-V10 Hi-Fi audio quality review on serious audio performance

    Is there a way to tell what percent contribution is from the DAC and what is from the amp? 100% agree... the amp circuit is the best thing about this phone.

    LG-V10 Hi-Fi audio quality review on serious audio performance

    Curious... is there any way to diagnostically actually "see" what bitrate the DAC process is running at?  Maybe some sort of running script that displays bitrate?.... Perhaps in the Developer Options menu?   With 50+ ohm impedances the difference is night and day different.

    The night and day difference is with with 50+ ohm headphones. Lower impedance is subtle at most.

    LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG

    OK fellas... sorry to derail this thread, but I now have a better understanding of how to get what I want.   BIGGEST part of my problem is the Comcast/Motorola wifi router I "rent" from them has data function of the USB port deactivated.  It still serves as a 5V power outlet, but other than...

    PNY 128gb Sale at Best Buy

    Was looking at these last night... a lot of the Amazon feedback is not so good for this card.  speed and reliability seem to be the biggest complaints.   http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Performance-MicroSDXC-Memory-P-SDUX128U160G-GE/dp/B00W77C1W4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

    LG-V10 Hi-Fi audio quality review on serious audio performance

    I am using Poweramp, the alpha release.  It powers my least sensitive/efficient headphone (K701) with ease.  Plenty of volume, dynamics and clean power.   Its worth a try, since its free just delete it if it doesn't work.   As mentioned above, you can trick the V10 DAC into the AUX mode with...
