There is practically no BASS when I listen to songs on my HTC prophet....
ANy solutions??
Are you listening from the device speaker, from the package headphones, or from some other set of headphones?

I found the headphones that come with the packaging to be lacking in a certain "oomph" when looking for bass, but I wouldn't call it "no BASS".
However I relegated them to handsfree use in the car, whilst I use my old P800's sony headphones for listening to music on my prophet. The quality is way better.
Buy a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor on eBay, then use you own headphones.
I use Sony In-Ear ones, which give me lots of bass.
I'm always listening to bass-heavy house music, techno and jungle on my Prophet and have never noticed a lack of bass. :?:
It depends on the quality of your headphones.

Regarding to the techno, trance or dance musics that i want to use as ringtones, should i use mono or stereo ? Which one gives better quality as xda II only has 1 speaker ?
unless the mono is not joind stereo then with one speaker mono and stereo is the same thing
Thanx !
I have an Atom Exec and I bought a 2.5mm->3.5mm jack to use it with earphones, speakers and what not as an MP3 player.
After listening I immediatley noted the weak sound volume and generally sloppy sound quality. I had one portable speaker I used to use with iPods and iPaqs and it has no sound volume control setting. I used it with the Atom Exec with the jack and unbeliavably the resultant sound was weaker than the Atom's built in speaker!!!
I then tried it with another 2.5mm jack to see if the jack was causing the poor quality, but had the same results.
So is it true that the Atom's outputs have poor quality?
In the meantime I am using a bluetooth stereo headset, though granted doing this the phone battery doesn't last an hour listening to music.

did u try after changing equalizer?
Yup, you can tweak the sound with the equalizer, but it doesn't change the fact that the 2.5mm output is weaksauce in comparison. Is the problem with using a jack? I wish I had a Shure e2c that came in 2.5mm flavor to really test it out.

I am using Sony P910 Headset with Atom & the sound quality is much better than the original one supplied with Atom
Ah, just so you guys know it was just a matter of changing the settings in the Headset Volume Limiter.
My Atom is working perfectly fine as an MP3 player now.
Hi guys, my 328i has a built in Aux input. And it works great with my Vibrants 3.5 output jack. The only issue I have is, the volume is just not as loud as It is listening from the mp3 CD. The volume for both the phone and car is at full volume.
When I usually listen to mp3 cds, the sound goes up way louder. Is there a way to hack the phone to output louder through the 3.5 jack? Or if any of you have the 328, is there some option to do that?
I don't know about mp3 cds but as for official cds bought from the store, they are definitely a lot louder that the phone through aux jack. Same deal with my g1 before I got the vibrant.I'm sure once the rooting and custom recovery is all sorted out and we start getting some custom roms, the devs will include volume hacks just like they did for the g1.

I'm quite satisfied with the volume. If you need to blow your ears off boost up the EQ.
Actually, it's really weird. Through headphones I can equalize my Vibrant and iPod to sound the same, but through AUX, the vibrant is quieter (Same volume settings). Really makes no sense to me. It has to be something with the equalizer...
Edit: But it is in no way quiet. I have to turn up my car stereo by like 4.
Try a different cable or a higher quality audio file.
I play songs between 192kbps to 328kbps and have no problems. The volume is at the same level since I used my mp3 cd.
appreciate the inputs, i'll look for the equalizer on the phone.
Have you guys tried sending the audio thru bluetooth audio enable car radio? Pretty cool no cables needed
I can even listen to pandora and send the audio to my stereo

whoa, i'm going to have to try this out. any advice?
I have the Pioneer Z110BT Navigation and it has bluetooth audio. Just pair your Vibrant to the Pioneer then play any song on your vibrant using the music player. Click options then "Via bluetooth".
Then go to your stereo and click on bluetooth audio. Voila! Streaming music from your Vibrant to car stereo. The sound is also great!!
Not to hijack this thread but my one complaint of the phone is how low call volume and audio volume are.
Everythings turned up to max and this phone is roughly half as loud as my MT3G is set at 50%.
I have a Sony xplode and play through Bluetooth, I get great sound.
I have no issues with call sound or ring levels. I actually have to turn it down sometimes because its to loud.

I built a custom cable to connect the headphone jack to my Pioneer's IPBUS connector - it works great, and is very loud. I keep both the head unit and phone's volume on half way, and depending on the song I may have to turn it down, too.
What player do you guys recommend for streaming music to a blutooth headset? What headset do you guys recommend for clarity and sound. Thanks in advance!

I personally use Winamp and my bluetooth device is a Jabra BT3030. My headphones are some Skull Candy ink'd ear buds.
The stock media app will put all sounds from the SD card in the playlist, including ringtones. Winamp ignores the ringtones, but will ad sounds from anywhere else on the SD card.

I use MortPlayer because I'm old school and I like my music in folders and don't need it broken up into genres, artists, etc.
For my BT, I use Plantronics voyager 855 - it's a convertible stereo BT earbuds. You can take off the stereo side and just have mono sound from the main ear bud. It was only $30 and I got them free. They work quite well. My actual earbuds are Bose in-ear buds. They isolate the noise quite well and they fit my tiny ear canals.
I use PowerAMP (which has an EQ if that matters) for music playback.
For BT headphones, I've had:
BlueAnt headphones (suck)
Motorola S9 (suck)
Motorola S10HD (suck, and fit worse than the S9)
Motorola HT820 (alright)
Motorola S705 (alright, depending on earbuds/headphones used)
Jabra BT3030 (pretty good, depending on earbuds/headphones used)
DealExtreme BCK-08 (alright, depending on earbuds/headphones used)
Sony Ericsson MW600 (awesome, even good with stock earbuds)
My favorites are here:

I just got a Jawbone JAMBOX, and it's great as well. Very nice for mobile music when you don't want to deal with earbuds or headphones. Hope this helps.
How the does bluetooth sound for you guys? Mine seems to be worse after the B29 update (not for certain that's when it degraded). I have a decent car stereo setup, but bluetooth distorts and crackles in the mids and highs. It's not unlistenable, but I thought my stereo was on the fritz until I used my 3.5mm input from the headphone jack, which sounds just fine. It can't be that the DAC is that much better, as my other phones sounds fine and this used to.
Do you have any thoughts or experience with something besides a small bluetooth speaker?
And I have tried playing with the Dolby settings. They make no difference with the distortion.
After some perfunctory tests I have noted that Bluetooth audio seems to introduce a significant amount of extra noise at high volumes. Aside from the additional background noise I have not noticed distortions with Bluetooth yet. I have only checked this on B29.

Just something to try...I have a BT device hooked to my AVR, and when I stream through that, if I have the volume on my phone up it sounds horrible. If I stream through it with the volume up just 1 click of the volume button, it sounds good. I increase volume at the AVR instead of the phone.
Through Bluetooth hands free working flawlessly to my.(A2017G version)
I'm having 2 LG 1100/2 Sony SBH 80 and 2 SBH 20.
Haven't try it with external speakers(since I don't own any kind) and on my car I'm using the handsfree and not connected to the car audio system.

I have a A2017G on B05 and a somewhat cheap aukey BT headset: it seems to sound fine for me, no crackling or hissing. Have you tried it on different devices to compare?
A2017U on B29, using Jaybirds Bluebuds X, the sound its great, no distortion or cracking.
I use the Bluetooth on my car stereo too and the sound is excellent. No dolby, but the equalizer works fine.
Did you verify that all your bluetooth devices supports aptx? if not then you will lose sound quality :S
idk, i dont like bluetooth audio streaming... even with aptx. Its not bad but if you want to steam flac music it will still limit the quality. Somehow if i stream the music via bluetooths aptx it sound flat not dynmic and
voluminous.
I haven't tried it with the volume just below full. I'll give it a shot in the morning on my commute.
Other devices (S5 and 6P) sound just fine when paired to my headed unit, so it's likely something with my Axon 7.

Quick test with the volume just under full seemed better. I'll know more after a drive tomorrow. Thanks everyone.

EQ on on your car stereo or phone? I don't know of an EQ on the phone (maybe I've overlooked something).

On the phone. I meant to say that it's not using the HiFi audio, but the Dolby eq it's fine on Bluetooth. Sorry for the confusion.
I think it sounds about 95% better just one click below full volume. I never would have thought that digital Bluetooth volume would have been the problem, having always set it to 100% with every other device. Thankfully, Tasker makes for a quick fix.
Thanks for the tips and feedback, everyone.
