hey everyone,
i'm thinking of getting this phone, but could someone tell me about its music player?
- hows the sense music player?
- battery drain?
- audio quality with headphones?
also, i read on some threads about getting a call while listening to music.
(when you're listening to music and unplug headphones to receive call, the music starts playing again through loudspeakers after call has ended)
does this problem still exist?
thanks a lot!
(btw, does anyone know if this will be updated to ice cream sandwich)
ps:
i know the desire s is out, but it hasn't released in canada yet, soo :/

I find the stock HTC music player good, though right now I use the new google music app instead.
Yes, when you take a call the music pauses, and plays again when you end the call (where it paused). The included headphones aren't bad, but if you use your own (no mic) yes, the music play will resume on speaker. I use my desire in the car on bluetooth, so I Love this feature, on headphones, I just use the ones included so I never have to unplug to answer a call.
It will be updated officially to gingerbread, officially to icecream???? who knows, but you can bet XDA will have you covered!!!!!
One thing, if your on Telus, why not go for the Desire HD? or incredible S on Bell?

I don't see the point because the Desire S is out. It might not be out in. Canada yet but it will soon so I would wait.

- hows the sense music player?
it's good.
- battery drain?
about 2 days for me ( lots of sms, 40min calls per day )
- audio quality with headphones?
not very good, but acceptable.
when i am playing music and call in and headphone unpluged, the music player will paused when the call ends. ( although i usually using the headphone to receive the call ).
I like the HTC music app but I miss the feature to edit ID3 tags (Artist, Title, Cover, etc.)
And the quality with headphones is ok for me.

Yes, I'm using it with my O2 XDA II.
Sound quality is fantastic especially when you're using another player like GSPlayer which allows you to adjust the effects such as 3D, surround, bass, echo, reverb, equalizer etc etc
Search for other threads here and you'll see other comments
Thanks FOSA for your reply
I will search and see what i can find.
If you are useing your to listern to music, and the phone rings can you easly answer the phone useing the headphones, than after the call return to listning to the music
Thanks

Hi!
Yes, you can.
However, depending on which software player you're using the music may not resume from the last location after you end the call ie. the music could be continuously playing in the background while you're talking.
So, if you want to resume the music from its last location after ending your call look for music player that supports this feature. I think MortPlayer supports this.

OK im sure im not the only one, I hate talking on my hands free so when i get a phone call i unplug it to talk on the phone, however if i was listning to music before this it will go silent when the phone rings and i answer it, however as soon as the phone call has finished it starts playing again, and considering i have unplugged the headphones that meens its coming out loud on the speaker.
Quite annoying on a quiet train....ANYONE KNOW OF A FIX!!
Had also many issues with the HTC Music Player but since i removed it from my ROM and use the stock android player everything is fine. the player continues to play after a call with headphones or without
but i guess this is exactly what the topic creator doesn't want.
if you're listening to some music on your headphone and a call comes in, then you unplug the headphones to pick up the call, when the call ends, music should not play till you plug back the headphones...
Does anyone know a good music player which can be simply controlled by speaking commands??
Vlingo does that for the inbuilt player doesn't it? Maybe it only starts playback, not sure...
Yes you can open your music player with Vlingo... but you cannot say for example: next song, louder...
This is actually something, that I was looking for myself. On the market I found a music player, that should be capable of this, but couldn't get it work.
I really need only something, that switches to the next song when I'm in the bath and shout : "NEEEEEXT". Maybe the already running music could give some problems to recognise your voice...

What was the name of the player?
I will have a try too....
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.

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 really enjoy listening to music a lot, and wanted to use my Desire as a MP3 player, so I don't have to drag my iPod around as well.
Now - I get _really_ disappointed with the quality of sound that comes out of that phone.
Be it net radio, last.fm or flac music on the SD card, I hear a lot of interference from the WLAN and 2g/3g network on the headphones (you know. bssssss / dak-a-dak-a-dak, brrrrr, depending on which connection I am on). Not very loud, but very disturbing if you are listening to low-volume music.
Do you suffer from the same problem? Did anyone find a solution to this?
(I found a few similar posts, but none really matching as they cover speaker/BT headsets)
I use my Desire to play mp3 and to listen FM and streaming radio and I've never heart any interference.
Maybe it's another device what is causing the noise?
I also use my phone to listen to music / podcast and never noticed any interferences.
Did you check your headset cable (I've noticed it's the biggest unwanted noise generator when listening to music on the go) ?
Well - partly it is indeed my headset cable.
Although I am using Sennheiser cx150, which sound quality is really good in my opinion, it seems that the cable is very poorly shielded.
So I tried with various other earphones, and the interference is less. Still not gone, which still annoys me, but less.
Oh well, i gonna spend another bunch of money for new headphones until I get a new phone :-(
Thanks, all.
