I already had the case for my A105, but it fits perfectly on the A306, even the buttons line up. It may be a touch snug, but I actually like that.

Edit:

This does not work reliably and probably isn't worth the effort (unless you enjoy frustration). Read ahead for more info.



For those of you with the low bass issue, I did finally figure out a workaround that resolves it, at the cost of losing sound adjustments. Simply disable the Sound Adjustment app using adb. Of course you can no longer use any of the adjustments, but I used "direct" anyway. Not extensively tested at this point. I do think this proves software versus hardware...

I guess photos are the best way. A306 in miter case:

Regarding the issue, I had the chance to run the test with a Japanese nw-306 but although the graph seems slightly different it still seems to have the issue (?). I still see that -10 right there for the Japanese version, can someone enlighten me, please?


UK version with the issue

Japan version:

any thoughts?

They both have the bass issue. Looks like the scales are a bit different.

Wow thanks!, this is great news

You mentioned using adb

what was the name of the app/package?
did you use something like?
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <com.SOMETHING>
# OR  RATHER
adb shell pm disable <PACKAGEHERE>

I guess it can be obtained with something like this:
Bash:
adb shell cmd package list packages
but still wondered

thank you:L3000:

Remove the sound adjustment app didn’t remove the bass issue for me. :frowning2:.
I think i did something wrong here?
I could see the sound adjustment app icon disappeared from the home screen.
