Volume Issue

Is there any sort of app or break for this thing regarding volume level? I am having issues with call volume and ringtone volume on my EVO. It seems it should be a lot louder at maximum volume. It's not *horrible* but I think it could be a lot better.
Any information?

there's an app called "Volume Button Locker"
the icon looks like this...

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It doesn't auto load though, so if you reboot you have to restart it.
Also if you use advanced task killer add it to the ignore list!

what we need is the louder volume hack app to work on the evo. has anybody even pm'ed the dev to ask him to make it work on the evo? i agree the maximum volume is much too low.

It could be that the ringtone was recorded on the low side. There's lots of individual volume settings that can be adjusted. I'm not experiencing that problem. I used to use an app called quick settings for ask the bells and whistles it did. Now I just use it for volume levels. It does: ringer, notification, media, alarm, voice, and finally system volume levels. There may be others out there, this is one of the free ones

Which music player has the best lock screen widget?

I tried the default Google Play and Music. Both displays a widget that allows me to pause/restart the track, but none of them displays how much play time remains on the track. Such functionality would be useful because I play files than often last an hour or so.

most of the players don't offer that functionality in the lock screen.

The music player on iOS (even on 7.x) gives you a progress bar and the ability to backtrack or forward from lock screen. If most android players don't have this functionality, in addition to the _default_ player, that's a serious problem. Remember that besides being phone, photos, web browsing, and games platform, the music player is one of the top applications of smartphones. Aren't smartphones meant to kill the ipod? Then why I can't access the most basic functions of music player from the lock screen? All I can do right now is stop and go. that's it.

poweramp haves all that functionality you talk about

Use Android 2.2+ Device As Wireless Audio Receiver (Wireless Multi Speakers)

XDA senior member "jekatt" has built an app called SoundSeeder which is something like a "multispeaker music player".
SoundSeeder can turn your Android device into a wireless speaker and use multiple of them to create a multi speaker audio system.
The full featured player app requires Android 4.1+, but there is also a dedicated speaker app for devices running Android 2.2+. (There is even a speaker app for windows / linux / raspberry pi)
The player supports audio playback from: phone storage, dlna/upnp network storages, google music and online radio stations.
The latest version even supports live streaming of recorded audio (microphone input or usb audio line in)

Hi! It's still possible to make the RGB strips work on other apps (not just on music player apps) and I've got a temporary workaround for this. Simply add the app to Shark Space then access the Game Dock, click on the app's title on the Game Dock, go to the Multi-Experience tab, and turn on Athletic Lights. That's it. However, the RGB strips won't work if you leave the app itself so they won't work while the music player is in the background process. But it works when the screen is off as long as the app is in foreground. My device runs on China ROM, and that's how it works. It should also be the same with the Global ROM.
P.S. Not all apps can be added to the Shark Space so there has to be a separate option for this that hopefully will be added in the future updates.

Hi Joe,
I am not sure about Jetaudio but it is working with Poweramp and Blackplayer ex.

There is nothing wrong with your unit other than it's bad overall quality. The sound in these units is horrific, pure and simple. What people do is to mod these units (install different electronic components) and that way the sound can become really hi-end. Feel free to check out the video in my signature that will show what I mean.
You could also check out this guide that provides help on many improvements including the sound quality. Other cool things are how you can make the unit look.
