Phone laggy after using conduits pocket player

I have experienced this everytime i use pocket player.
After listening to music, i click menu, exit player and then come back to my today screen. After this everything becomes very laggy. after clicking on the start menu, each item is filled after about half a second each.
When i open messaging, the scroll doesn't work, the messages take an eternity to open.
Now i noticed taht the memory usage is the same at before (for me it's 32%)
I looked at the running processes and pocket player process is not runninganymore. I dont have touchflo, i use the SE panel.
Any ideas why this is happening?
After a soft reset everything becomes fine.

yeah, I got the exact problem as you!! I think it's the problem of the player itself. Can anyone recommend any other players, except the pocket music player? I think the sound quality of pocket music is not as good as conduits pocket player.

I did a series of experiments and found out that the phone becomes laggy if you have the equalizer on in the player.
I also found out that, if you keep your eq on, listen to music all you want, but switch off the eq and let the player run for a minute or so, then the phone stabilizes... Can anyone confirm this..?

Thanks guy, I tried to stop the EQ and found that everything is fine, no more laggy. But without the EQ, the sound quality is not good. So, I use Pocket Music to play music and Conduits pocket player for AVI files.
I also tried to turn on the EQ and then stop for 1 min, I found that everything is smooth too!

I am also using Conduits Pocket Player 3.71, with EQ on + the high quality EQ-setting and my X1 is not laggy at all. After exiting the player, and I am returned to the today panel my X1 is as fast as usual. Not using the Pocket Player today plugin though.
I am using the original ROM with only a few system tweaks + SD Tuneup.

Problem with HD Touch's music player - stops after awhile!

Anyone else have this same problem ?
I'm refering to the Touch HD's music player, not the Windows Media Player.. The display and all that are awesome and I'd love to use the albumart function because I'm using the same thing on my PC but the WMP doesnt have that.
Playback is workable but it stops after awhile. And all the audio will be gone and I'd need to restart the device for the sounds to come back. Anyone have a fix for this?
I'm using
Windows mobile 6.1 pro
ROM Version 1.18.723.3 (23358) WWE

Probably you installed app for play/stop/next song by headset button??? If yes, just uninstall it

There is a hot fix on the HTC website that may apply if you already have not put it on.

Meridian and Bluetooth Headset

Hi,
I install Meridian player and like it very much.
But when I'm using my AD2P bluetooth headset, it launches and changes HTC Music player tracks.
I enabled the "use headset" option in Meridian, but can't find where to disable it for default player.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

I got the same problem.
I tried to disable it with the program Autostarts (paid app)
The buttons don't work if i disable it.
Does anyone have a solution so it works with Meridian.
I also have the problem that sometimes the audio stutters,
and when i play mp3's i hear some variation in the playback speed.

I didn't find any solution yet.
Anybody ?

I have the same problem with Beyondpod and ACast. Dou you have find a solution ?

I tried with default android player..same result: impossible to change tracks.
Only HTCMusic player seems to have this functionnality

The stutter comes from apps that run in the background, i also hope that it will be fixed in android 2.0. when i close everything with taskkiller it works fine.
I tested Meridian with my headset and the same problem. when i press a button like play/pause htc player starts. maybe it works if you remove the htc player?? but i'm not sure.

I tried to kill HTC Music, and later to delete HtcMusic.apk.
Same results, meridian don't work with headset buttons

I've found the stutter is from wifi being on. It keeps checking and using up resources.
I would love the ability to pause/skip tracks in acast and last.fm. Is this something that may be added in the future?

[PROBLEM] HTC MP3 player stops after every song?

Hi there!
I've a huge problem with the music player on the hd2. It stops after EVERY song. I alsways have to turn on the phone and manually hit play or next to play the next sond. That's quite annoying!
It doesn't matter if I select an album, a playlist or whatver. Even if I turn on repeat-mode, the sond is only played once.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?

I noticed the same thing, and I already updated to 1.48...
There's a partial solution anyway: if you don't press the power off button to activate the stand by mode, but instead if you let stand by mode to activate by itself, it works correctly.

I've had the same thing happen when I let standby mode activate itself, also have an issue where the MP3s stutter, small 1 second breaks in the music.

Few people use the embedded mp3 player coz it's bad and very slow, especially when you have a massive library.
You should try another player: Kinoma (freeplay is free), CorePlayer, Nitrogen (free), etc...

err, starting an extra application for that doesn't sound very attractive to me. Actually I like the fact that this is integrated into sense.
Regarding the speed: I've ~10 GB of music. The HTC player handles them very well

After i read this, i tested it on my device.
The first time the player stopes after the first track,
but if you press play again and you come to the end, then it switch to the next track without a problem and play it.
regards

I have the repeat button on and it doesnt' stop!! And the built in mp3 player is better than WMP because it actually shows chinese characters properly for me... And the interface looks nice...

I noticed the music player in htc sense only looks at the music folder on the storage card, is there any way to add more folders of music or must I insert all my music there and it will automatically be "synced" every time a new song/folder of songs is added?

On mine, the HTC music player looks for all audio files on both the storage card and the phone itself (anywhere in 'My Documents'). It even picks up ring tones I've added and the 'sample' music on the phone. So, I'm not sure if this is a setting of some kind, but mine seems to do what you want, and your's seems to do what I want.

same as you
I have the exactly same problem my friend nd it's irritating. For now, the only solution I have is the use of bluethoot earphones where I can skip the music on it, but as soon as I put classic earphones it does the same problem. I'm gonna try another player I think. it's a pity because HTC player is starting to become gorgeous

track order
Has anyone noticed track order problems. I've started a thread on this. It's really doing my head in.

Same track order problem here. Posted it to HTC-support, they have no solution. Every other player doesn't have this problem.

HTC HD2 music player stop after a few seconds

Hello, my name is Fernando.
First of all, I apologize for my english, but my natural speak is Spanish.
I have a problem with the HTC HD2 music player HD2 since I bougt it 2 weeks ago.
When try to playing a song from any album with the player, I see the spinning circle in the upper left corner.
Please, seek a video of that in YouTube called "HTC HD2 music player stop after a few seconds" (I can't post it 'cause I'm a new user ...)
I assume that is seeking changes and updating the music library. After a few seconds (30 approximately) the music stops and can’t access the library. Even in landscape view, the library is empty (see video on the end part).
I searched help into this site and various others forums on the Internet, and I found many people with the same problema, but no effective solution.
The files are stored in “Storage Card \ Music \ Artist \ Album” folder structure, and they are called “01 - TrackName_AlbumName_ArtistName.mp3” structure.
My phone has the following software characteristics:
(Please see pic attached)
I have made many unsuccessful trials to solve this mistake, I will try to list all of them:
• Updating or changing ROM versions to 6.5.3 , 6.5.5 and 6.5 (actually running 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE version from laurentius26, that is excelent by the way)
• Update Manila version
• Update Radio version
• Format memory card (8 GB) with the PC in Disk Storage mode.
• Format memory card (8 GB) since the included HTC HD2 Format SD Card app.
• Conversion of all audio files to MP3 format 192 Kb / s (no WMA files)
• Tag all files to ID3v2.4 UTF-8
• Put a file called folder.jpg in each audio folder with the correct front album cover disc (all albums are showing it correctly)
• Change the length of the audio MP3 filenames (shortest names for test)
• Change the folder of the files locations (put all in the root folder of the SD Card for test)
• Delete the file located into “Application Data \ HTC \ AudioManager_Eng” and called “AudioManager_Eng.vol” several times to be generated again when start the player for first time.
But nothing Works !!! …the software always stops after a few seconds of use.
At this moment I'm using another software called S2P v0.80 beta to play music, it has the iPhone's style and works very well, but has some mistakes handling the hearphones' HTC remote control, and the audio quality is not as good as Sense version because S2P uses WMP….
Can anyone help me please? I am desperate to fix this ... 'cause I use the phone for music player mainly and is impossible to do it with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Can you play the media in the windows media player?
If that works then an application you have installed has caused the problem.
For me it was tomtom(the edited version that fixes bluetooth) it broke my HTC media player.
The only way to work out which one is to factory reset the phone so it works.
Then reinstall your apps 1 by 1 till it breaks again.

[Deleted!]

try refreshing using total commander.. path to the storage card, refresh a few times, soft reset.. generally works

This problem occurs when htc music tab is unable to update album art. Please check wheter there's a read-only file in the directory. Uncheck read-only box and run album art updater, you should of course have a connection to internet. I had the same problem both with my hd and hd2 but after clearing the read-only status of the files, I 'm able to play them as I love to do with my music tab....

this is how i solved it. convert everything to wma.

S2P with SRS WOW and good sound cancelling ear phones sounds just as good as Sense Music Player. The key is SRS WOW.

Yes, media can be played with the WMP. But the problem isn't caused by any installed application. I'm burned the phone with every new ROM listed above, and then inmediatally try the media tab and the problem continue.

Mmmm ... no ... no really, I have got installed SRS wow and Audio Booster and comparing sounds, the HTC Tab has better bass and clarity sound. I'm not using the original HTC hearphones, instead I'm using an AKG ones (don't remember the exact model) and the difference in sound is appreciable !

Yeah !
Now is working ... I'll testing for a few days, because in the past in one opportunity, I don't know how or why, the player works a few days with no problems with the MP3 files library and then stop working suddenly.
Cons: I have all my music library in my main HTPC in MP3 format ...
I will post again in a few days with results.
Thanks !

Well, I was testing for a few of days the HD2 tab player after convert all my library to .wma format, and everything was OK, the stopping music effect was solved.
Thanks to everyone.

same problem
what software did u use to convert all your library to wma?
,
i also have the same problem, and Im just so desperate to find an answer for it...
i think this solution works, but i have no idea how to convert my library to wma

the only that you need to do is to transfer the music to your hd2 only with windows media player via active sync,but first:erase completely the music map in you sd card,make a copy of the sd,format the sd with the phones program(you kan found under windows start>tools)put back all to the sd and make a new music map,ready!!you can start to transfer music!!I have a 16gb sandisk with more than 1600 tracks in mp3 and aac and no problems any more!I speak spanish to so, if you want you can make a private question if you need some help,saludos

I had a similar problem to this where it would stop playing a song after a few seconds then refuse to play anything else. I can't remember the exact program I used, but to fix it I ran an MP3 error checker through my music library, which fixed some corrupt files that were preventing the rest from playing. Has worked fine since I did it about a month ago.

You can use Switch Audio Converter (free on basic mode, but works fine)from http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html or dBpoweramp from http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ (15 days trial, but faster than the other).

I tried this before, but it didn't work for me. Only conversion to .WMA format solved the problem.
Thanks anyway.

Hi
I Have the same problem with Manila's Music Player...
but there is a thing and that is that I have changed all my music tags with a specific program (Mp3Tag I think...). the question is do I have to make all tags again if I convert all of my MP3's to WMA?
and I have another problem which is so annoying indeed!!!
if I hadn't have any phone calls since my last soft reset there is no problem but when I make a phone call or answer an incoming call after finishing the call when I lock the screen while listening to a track the music pauses after about 3 seconds!!! and actually it is independent from listening music with sence music tab or Windows Media Player !
both has same problem...
is there any solution???

First, try to convert all your library to WMA format, tags will not be lose. Try downloading Switch Sound File Converter from http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html, it is free.
Maybe, this process solve the last problem explained about shutdown music after calls.

Im sorry, converting to WMA just is not a solution, you shouldnt have to, the player can play MP3s, and so it should play them well. Mine has only recently started doing this (latest energy rom) it has never done it before
