Hi there,
I´m not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this since this is my first post on this board.
Ok, so here is my problem:
I - proudly - own a HTC Desire and used to listen to the HTC music-player while using google maps navigation. On Android 2.1 it worked like a charm.
But then I updated to FroYo and since then it won´t run simultanously anymore.
What happens is the following:
I launch the music player
I launch the navigation app
When the first voice-output starts it mutes (or quits) the music player and won´t resume/reopen it automatically again
When I use a different music player it all work, again.
Also, when I use another navigation application (e.g. Navigon) the player keeps on working (but doesn´t mute...but I guess this is a Navigon problem).
A week ago I decided to root my Desire. For that I downgraded it to 2.1, again and used the ROM from ieftm. Unfortunately, I still do have this problem.
You may now ask "Why not use one of the other music players?".
The answer is: I "need" three points to be fullfiled by the music player:
Look nice (or at least not that crappy; for example...I don´t like the Astro player)
A working lockscreen-widget (this would eliminate the ³-player and DoubleTwist)
It should be possible to create a playlist-shortcut on the homescreen to be opened directly by this player
And...from all the players I tried the HTC player is the only one that has all this.
Anyway, I hope you guys can help me with my problem and answer some of these questions:
Has anybody an idea on how I could get maps/navigation and the music player working together again?
Anybody knows a music player that fullfilles all the points from above?
Anybody knows how I can set another music player to be opened with the homescreen-playlist-shortcuts?
Thanks in advance.
I'm sick of waiting for them to fix these issues... All my music collection on my phone is encoded into aac+ (he-aac v2) with parametric stereo. Now it's useless because the decoder has a bug since the froyo upgrade it sounds like crap!
Youtube is also crap since v2.2 update. It's impossible to watch a youtube clip because it crashes almost instantly or after a minute or so. Incredibly annoying.
I think these 2 features are VERY important to fix asap because I can't recommend anybody upgrading to 2.2 or even buying a Desire before we know it gets fixed!!!
Sad...
Don't know about the music thing. However Youtube works perfectly for me on froyo 2.2. Though I ma running a custom ROM

same here. youtube works flawlessly
same on the rom too leedroid 1.8c
YouTube works fine for me as well . Try factory reset and don't restore backup . In general froyo does feel sluggish to me as well
youtube and music works for me
i use mp4 audio too (AAC)
Youtube is working perfectly for me and im on stock FroYo. Dont know about "aac" music playback though..

I'm looking for the best music app in terms of functions, GUI, and lock screen support for ASOP.
So far, I think winamp is good but its gui is ugly as hell.
Miui is beautiful but laggy and no lock screen support and no eq.
Poweramp is a memory hog.
What's your cent?

I've tried Mixzing, Power amp, Miui, Lithium & a few othes, while they are good music apps none of them was what I was really looking for.
So for me it's 3 cubed, superb UI, album art grabber, lockscreen & the lack of an eq doesn't matter as the SGS sounds great with mixget and quality set of headphones.
Yeah, MIUI is beautiful but... no lockscreen...
I use : http://www.appbrain.com/app/music-mod-(froyo-only)/com.piratemedia.musicmod
Lockscreen : http://www.appbrain.com/app/music-mod-lock-screen/com.omeudroid.musicmodlockscreen
winamp is okay.
PowerAmp is the one, works perfectly on SGS, amazing UI, album art grabber, plus a very well done equalizer.
I never had any problems with it being a memory hog.

I will try the PowerAmp. Now I use 3D Cube, but there´s no equalizer. On some tracks i´ll miss it.

Second this!
Poweramp + sgs = love.
Poweramp <3
hmm i wonder why the SGS stock player ain't getting any love here... Imo its the best music player out there made for andriod. Wide codec support, excellent hardware eq with optional sound enhancements, colourful UI and fantastic yet simple lock screen controls. Perhaps I think performance and compatability issues in the earlier firmwares + the bad reputation of touchwiz might be the reason why its not well recieved but I feel that the player has improved in terms of performance and stabilty to very usable levels in the recent firmwares(esp the 2.2.1 firmwares). Thus for me personally the SGS music player is a winner in most if not all aspects and will be my sole music player app for some time to come...

Agreed. Stock player is great. The lock screen controls are only available if you use the stock glass lockscreen so some people wont get them.
I like using it with the "wide" effect.

Stock SGS Music Player is very decent.
Stock Music player is great but in my opinion poweramp is better mainly because you can select the music folder

Sgs music player has music folder selection. Look in options. I wish it had album cover search and aosp lock screen

Dunno your's but in mine options there are "equalization, effects, music menu, visaulization" and nothing else
SGS Stock Music Player
I second MiG123....I have tried nearly all music players available in the market for SGS, but end up reverting to stock music player. However I recently used ipod's headphones and wao...huge a difference in the sound quality. The standard head phones with SGS are crap...try the ipod ones and you will hear the difference. I also used Audioboost2 etc.
MixZing Pro version. Hands down.
Like the stock one but bothers me alot that with the phones it only allow you to pause the music, not going to the next or the previous like in btunes.

Best choice for sound quality ......it remenbers the equaliser settings for a song or album. and with my transparant skin the widget looks great too
I use this player 8 hours a day with my sennheiser PX 210 BT
Imma let you finish, but I've still gotta say that PowerAMP is definitely the most kickass player of all time... of all time!
Hi there !
Here, in Ukraine we are used to use smartphones from the US, both because they are cheaper than european ones, and because of CDMA networks.
Well, me and my friends are developing a game, that is based on the audio played in the background. This could be any type of sound, like a video, or any music player, or even a microphone. We're just analysing the sound played "right now".
And this kinda sucks in ls980. Idk, maybe it's because of policy in the US, or that was just my phone, that's why i am asking here. There is no visualisation neither in our app, nor in any other correct visualiser.
Please, anyone, download any visualisation app in Google Play, that's based on audio flow, like Audio Glow Music Visualizer. It's just the easiest way to test it.
Both that app and our app worked on my previous phone, S3 i9300, and are perfectly working on d802 G2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tested on g2 ls980 android 4.2.2 full stock
I just love the LG rom, and don't want to flash smth like cm11 just because of visualisation, are there any solutions ?
I'm a bit annoyed by the default htc music player. The problem is that the Album Covers are shown in a very low quality. I mean it's blurry. It's not as clear as the Original JPEG image. I installed some other music player apps and still the same. So I thought maybe it's a firmware problem. Is there a reason for this? On my Previous phone it was fine. Album covers had the original quality. And please don't say Reset To Factory Defaults or Stuff like these cuz it's not gonna work.
Has anyone reported this to htc devs or is it gonna be fixed in future firmware updates???
screenshots with the Google Play Music app are from 2 different phones.
I have to say I'm a quality freak and really care about small details.
You could download album art grabber from playstore

I don't use the default HTC music app anymore, I prefer Google Play Music, but my album art looks great.
