guys, I have a small question.
Does your phone get really sluggish when you play music? My phoen always gets really sluggish when I play music. Windows media player sucks big time. I think there maybe other players out there that's better but I think they do not work well with a bluetooth headset.
Is there a better player that works well and can be used with a bluetooth headset's controller?
i am currently usngi energy's 6.5 and this is always an issue regardless of the rom I think.

hey guys. im seriously considering getting one of these phones. but i gotta know - does the music playback skip, lag or breakup of sound every 5 minutes or so? this was a horrendus problem that still exists to this day on my touch diamond and no matter what i did i couldn't fix it. i noticed it on my Xperia as well but it is much less pronounced and i'm actually ok with it. would like to hear from anyone who listens to music on their TP2, especially from owners who have / had a touch diamond and/or Xperia for comparisons sake.
Ive tested many applications for listening to music and on none of them i had any trouble with lagging or breaking up.. I now use coreplayer and playback is awesome. So i think you should go for it
Um... I know this might sound stupid, but ...... have you tried another pair of headphones ?
I have never had even a single brake up, lagg or w/e while listening to music on my Xperia and never had any issues with the TP2 either. I have used the Touch Pro 2 for 2 full days so far (it is not mine) and a lot of on and off use, but I was listening to a lot of music both of those days and never had any problems. As thecompany said, playback is awesome .
What player are you using? Try:
Mort Player
Pocket Music
Pocket Player
S2P Player
thanks guys, that's is pretty much what i wanted to hear.

lol it's not my earphones. i have 4 or 5 pairs of em here and its the same with all of them, i should have been a bit more specific in my OP: this problem with music stuttering / lagging was really BAD on my touch diamond, not so much the Xperia. nothing fixed it including trying diffrent players, different roms both stock and cooked. different earphones (lol), moving music from internal storage to phone's memory, disabling touchflo3d, i could go on and on with what i tried but none of them worked. do a search here on diamond mp3 lag and you'll know what im talking about. The only thing i did not try was with my bluetooth headphones. but I am not in love with the idea of that, A2DP degrades audio quality and bluetooth is just another hit on the devices battery life.
After trying it again tonight i can hardly notice it at all on my Xperia, to a point it doesnt bother me at all unlike the diamond. I use Coreplayer v1.30 on both phones since HTC's Audio Manager sucks and refuses to play music downloaded from iTunes (DRM Free at that) and the same story with the Media Panel on the Xperia.
I think im still gonna go for the Rhodium anyways. droool @ that nice big screen.
no lags at all .. tested BT headsets from Anycom and Sony
but I got question realted the music .. where should I store the the music or playsist so that I got them at hend when using Winamp or the HTC deliverd soft?
I am tired of maunally chosing again and again and again from storage ...
thx

Don't know if it was ever mentioned on the Diamond forum, but did you ever tweak the storage settings to see if changing timings and cache settings improved things?
Were they high bitrate files?

So I've been playing around with my Touch Pro 2 that I just got a few weeks ago. Having lots of fun, except for one thing: I can't get my Bluetooth controls to work for advancing or repeating tracks or pausing play with ANY media player except for Windows Media Player. I've tried at least a half dozen other players and every time I try to change tracks or pause play nothing happens with the music player and my phone just returns to the "home" screen.
What's worse, when I trying to use it with Media Player it seems to lock up some of my hardware buttons and I can't use the start to back key until I reboot. Anyone else experience any issues like this? Did I just screw something up by playing around with too many other programs?
I'm on Verizon running Win 6.5.
Just an update... I just loaded Pocket Tunes from NormSoft. This program works with BT buttons right out of the box. This was the program I used to use on my old phone, but I didn't think they had a 480x800 skin. Just found one and I'm a happy camper.
I just use the player built into sense and my controls work fine with my bluetooth car kit. I can advance, pause play etc etc
I've been trying for days to get the defy to work i want.
I listen to audiobooks, music and podcasts, and I need to be able to control it from the headset
I tried default player, google listen, winamp, doggcatcher. And cant get the thing to work right!!
Music+ doesn't even register the button press, listen resumes and skips to next track, even if you're playing another audio in the background. Winamp on its own is fine but does not download podcasts, and doggcatcher has conflicts with winamp on the headset thing.
Has anyone find a good solution for this? it seems just the way android is built, and the lack of a good unified media player (with or integrated with podcast manager).
Such a disappointment... I was so looking for having an android phone! If I can't find a solution, it seems its not for someone like me untill they integrate things a little more tightly.
Well, it's not the Defy. And while I don't think that Android sucks at playing media I do agree with some of your points. I also listen to audio books and podcast. For the moment I'm using AudioBook Player 2 for audiobooks. It's not prefect by a long shot but it does the job. As for podcast I haven't found anything useful yet. The defaut player is suppose to play podcast but there is no way to skip through. If I have to stop listening to the podcast there is no way of getting back to were I left off. And while the device obviously play videos, and does so quite well, I haven't found any type of video player interface. The only way I can start a video is by going into the gallery and taping on the file I want to play. That dosen't seem right to me.
So yeah, I feel your frustration.

Yes, sorry. I did not meant to bash, its just that I soo wanted to love it... and I don't, and if there is no good solution I think android is not for my for now. I don't know. It has so many great things!
Thanks for your suggestions I'll look into it.
On another subject : When I listen to music, I can't do anything else (switching to landscape mode e.g.), otherwise it's really slow.
Is anybody else having that bug ? Some guy here mentioned it. But he then said he fixed it without having it deodexed. How do you fix this ?
Meridian is a media player that does most of what you want, with the possible exceptin of podcasting (don´t use it, don´t know).
It remembers where you last listened to a track, and if you switch to video (which has a library of it´s own) it still remembers where in the audio track you were when you go back to that. So actually better than WMP there... ;-)
Only thing that grinds my gears with this is an annoying bug that starts a random track when I press the button on any wired headset. If I hang up a call, or if I want to pause and then start playing in Spotify or radio, Meridian starts playing a tune in the background. I thought it was a bug I was having with my Pulse, but it´s there with the Defy as well.
A BT headset has none of these issues though.
Don't worry google is working on a multimedia improvement......soooonnnn soon, also has anyone tried poweramp
Hi folks,
I'm interested at using a different music player since the stock music player doesn't give me much in terms of features.
I've had PowerAMP (Paid) problem with is that every time I get an SMS message the music cuts out to play the sounds in my headphone and then the music blares out on the out speaker and then once the inbound sms sound is done it's plays back into the headphones.
I've had DoubleTwist similar type of problem but not as bad and unless you paid attention you wouldn't notice. BUT it's a huge memory HOG while running and playing music is eats about 55mb in the memory and I can't send the APP to SD.
What other alternatives do I have? I was considering PlayerPro but I really am trying not to have to pay for an APP.
I was looking at Winamp which I love but I would need their PRO version which again is a bummer cause I really am trying not to buy it.
Any suggestion?
Cheers.

Nice. Well after running for a while I was happy to see that cpu usage and memory usage weren't crazy. Nice app.
Does it "crossfade" ??

I guess it does
TTPod. Unfortunately the latest version is Chinese only, but someone has made an unofficial translation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551201
On a sidenote: does anyone know a musicplayer that supports lockscreen controls on ICS, besides the stock player? I tried Cloudskipper, ZPlayer, ÜberMusic, WinAmp, Poweramp, the MIUI player and TTPod, but none supports it afaik.
I like MIUI's music player. I think it's available to non-MIUI users. Just google it.

Have you gone through all the settings in PowerAMP? There are several pages of settings for how notifications work while music is playing, how headphones work with music/notifications/plugin/etc, and more. Pretty sure that you can configure things the way you want if you spend some time in the settings pages.
PowerAMP 2.x is working great on my Xperia Pro (MK16a), with just the slightest dimming of the music to play are very dim notification alert, and then going back to normal volume, without interrupting the music nor changing which speakers the music comes out of.
Pheonix,
I've been through all the options in PowerAMP each time a notification will come on while music is playing (depending on the settings) it's on. Music will either fade or cut out. The notification will play but the MUSIC will resume on the external speaker for about 3seconds before switching back to Internal.
It's been doing that ever since I got it and with every music playing I've tried. I'm running on stock .62 rooted and there's no customization that's been done.
Now I've actually loaded the MIUI Music player back on my phone and actually that solved my problem. So this leads me in the direction that some of the music player interfere to an extent with the notification/speaker process.
Cheers.
Actually, I just noticed this issue last night while listening to music and getting texts from the wife. This didn't happen before.
I'm fairly certain that it's a new bug, as the 1.x versions never had this problem, and the early 2.0.x versions didn't either.
I'll go through my backups and see if I can find a version that doesn't have this issue.
Have you reported this to the PowerAMP devs?
Have you tired UBERMUSIC..?????
Its awsome....!!!!!
Hi all,
I am running on CM10.1-20121227-nightly-dt2mo. Playing music like mp3 files and Pandora works just fine, as well as music from apps and games. However, when I connect to a bluetooth device like Jambox or my car audio, the music becomes choppy and breaks up, eventually freezes the device. Any idea how this is?
Thanks,
If 1226 doesn't fix it, go back to CM10. 10.1 is pretty much a mess right now.
