Hey guys,
I got the following glitch when listening to music on my X1:
with the stock T-Mobile ROM and the generic R3A ROM I'd always hear an annoying static during silent music passages. This happens with the Media Panel, Wimo Media Player and some third party programs I tried.
Now I was a bit bored today and decided to install one of the custom ROMs: Touch-IT v10.3.
While the ROM seems to be fine in general I dont like it that much 'cause it feels really slow for me.
However I also tried the TF3D music player and eh voila: no more statics during silent music passages (tried with and without Audio Booster, using the same music files and 3,5 mm headset of course).
Any ideas why this is happening with the "normal" Roms? Any fix I've overseen?
Thanks in advance,
Frive

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.
After deinstalling WOW SRS, I have now a very strange sound problem:
If I soft-reset my device there is initally no sound: No system sounds, no music/sound with S2P or TCMP, not even the htc startup sound works (only a small clicking noise is heard).
BUT: If I either use WMP or HTC Music player, then, after a few clicking noises and 3 to 7 seconds of music play, the sound is turned on and after that sounds works in all other programs again (system sounds, S2P, TCMP, etc.).
Then after a soft-reset no more sound until running WMP or HTC Music player...
Does anybody know how this can be and how to resolve this issue?
Any help is appreciated!
Best, Danckel
I posted about this problem a couple of pages ago. I did some additional observations and it seems that the Audio Booster has a main problem with windows media player (and all the players that use the media player engine, like the HTC Music player, s2p etc.)
However, when I play my music with Conduits Pocket Player I have no problems whatsoever with the Audio Booster. (Fortunately...)
Maybe it's my partical device which is fooling with me, maybe not. I don't know. Are there others users experiencing simular issues with the Audio Booster?
Same issue here... I think it is a massive bug in it.
As I experienced it is stop when the device is go to standby (or I send to there) and happening after the player is jump to the next song. It isn't randomly. I can do it anytime.
Just try it:
Play music - turn on the Audio Booster - go to standby - wait for the next song - go back from standby =>>> The Audio Booster is already OFF
Sad story... I hope they will repair soon.

I experienced that it turns off after each song, I fixed this by pressing the home button rather than the Done softkey, this keeps it running in the background.
Just a quick question. Do you guys have a lot of music files on your MicroSD card? I have 14 gig of music, maybe the music app can't handle that.
Furthermore I have all my album art embedded in the mp3 files. Maybe that causes the booster to quit?
I ask this because I'm really astonished that this problem isn't reported much more on HD2 fora.
I have only 4gig so I don't think so that is the problem.

You mean using for example CorePlayer 1.3.5 is not detected the problem? Maybe as a temporary solution and we could see how to change the CorePlayer and application of music by default (if it works) because even though we're listening to music with another application which not either HTC or Windows by pressing the button on the remote change of composition of the headphones these applications are launched.
Told me I look good, the translation is from google but may not express myself clearly enough.
While listening to music, i recognise a short crack or lag everytime I lock or unlock the screen (and only then, otherwise I didn´t experience any lags during playback).
The only time it worked flawlessly was with the stock ROM and HTCs stock music player. All other music players I tried after that had the issue, even on the stock ROM.
I also tried the MoDaCo Custom Donut ROM, now I am on the spqrom 0.6 I found on xda (FroYo, Cyanogen based) - still experiencing the same problem with all players (tried PowerAMP, Cube3, Winamp and almost every other player out there...)
Can´t find anything on the forum or on google, any suggestions?
Those cracks drive me crazy! Please let me know if there is a music player/ROM/system file hack out there that can fix the problem.
I'm using HTC TatFroyoSense v0.2 (WWE edition), no lag
Thanks for your reply. Do you use the stock HTC (sense) music player? Did you try any other players like winamp etc.?
I've had real problems with the volume of music on my HD. Max volume when playing music is fairly low/average. Max should be loud, it should make me want to turn it down.
I've also been very unsure on the quality of the music and what will give the best quality when playing music. Stock player? Stock player with EQ? Stock player with SRS? Stock player with Dolby? PowerAmp? PowerAmp with EQ?

I did about an hour of testing using old ipod headphones and my Sennheiser CX870s.
I put the stock music player widget on the same screen as the PowerAmp widget so I could play one song on them both and pause the player on one and start the other to compare music quality and volume between both players with both headphones. I did this over and over with classical, techno and rock music. that
I don't feel like typing an essay but I can confidently conclude that no combination of EQ in either player or SRS etc gives the music on my HD enough volume.
I can also confidently conclude that music does sound better on the stock Desire HD music player with SRS than PowerAmp. No combination of EQ or preamp settings in PowerAmp sounded better than the stock player with SRS. At the same time though, the difference is not that great.
This is of course all my opinion with my ears and my cx870's.
One problem I've had with the cx870's is that they sound way to bassy with stock player SRS and PowerAmp with the EQ, but that is probably headphone related so not relevant to this.
I found that while jacking up the preamp in PowerAmp did help the volume, it also distorted it and somewhat ruined the clarity of the music. Plus the volume output was still not much better than the stock player with SRS.
^^ Interesting thanks very much for that... much appreciated... I still have to work out much needed replacement the the stock player. I was thinking of trying PowerAmp next.
By the way I have seen some volume raise apps or Android volume unlock that are supposed to help maybe a bit on other phone models have you tired or had any luck with any of them on the Desire HD? Definitely something I'm keen to find a fix to as well as it's not really acceptable IME to play a youtube video and have it too quiet for friends to hear ect.
Take care n good luck. Will post back it I find any good news before you do.
I was using Poweramp first but arrived to the same conclusion than Rogueblade. Stock player has a better sound definition than third party players : less distortion etc...
Do you really find it too quiet? I find mine on the brink of too loud when its on max - I generally have it a click or 2 under, and its loud enough to drown out the sound of anyone around me and the sound of the train.
using headphones i find SRS amazing, im using it even in my car even using the headphones jack
just tried an HD2 and desire next to the DHD, seriously people i don't get what the problem is, the DHD has a much clearer sound
i'm on OTA 1.72 by the way
Am I missing something not?!? I cannot see how it's possible to use the stock player as lets say I copy 2 CDs on to the SD card. When I go to access it though the stock player there is not 1 folder with CD1 and another folder with another CD2 there is just a mess of MP3 tracks and folders. Now that is just one double CD from one artist. I would not like to see what happens when I go and transfer a resonable size collection of my MP3s containing mutliple folders of CD's and live sets, each foldered under artist names and music styles.
Someone please explain it to me if I am wrong. Would I be right to say I need to use another player that specifically has a feature of search/display music by folders?
I find the volume on DHD good enough. I use the device for music in the car and always leave it around half way and fully cracked up on the stereo and it's loud enough.
While listening with headphones I find max too loud but the volume preference would differ from person to person. Also I find SRS gives a nice bass boost which is great.

Yes, the stock htc music application sorts music by artist, album, music and then you can also create custom playlists.
Have you tried winamp for android? If it's anything like the pc version it will perfect for what you need.
