Bluetooth A2DP issues?

Hey!
I would be VERY interested to hear from those who have a Desire what they think about the music streaming over Bluetooth on the Desire.
- Does it stutter, as techradar reported?
- Does the BT-headset buttons (play/pause, fw etc) only work with the HTC media player as was the case with the Hero?
Ty!

Indeed it does! Thansk for the link

It does look smooth. Since I own a bluetooth headset (Sennheiser MM 400) I am also eager to know wheter the forward/back-buttons on the headset work? (which is not the case with the iPhone, on of the reasons I ordered a Desire)

Everything works as it should you can use the phone or the device to change tracks, forwards and backwards

Can you control other apps like Google Listen, Spotify and web radio apps or does it always default to the media player?

Bumpdibump!

anyone tried his Jabra BT620s already? i can't seem to get stereo audio (A2DP) to work the on the headset. instead the desire just plays on the phone-speaker. any solutions?

I've had stutter when linked to my car audio system.

It's been covered in this forum already. There is an inherent android issue that sometimes when you have wifi and bluetooth turned on at the same time it causes stutter - silence every few seconds.
The remedy is to turn wifi off and the back on again (or just leave off) and it sorts it out.

for me it only works for the htc music player, but this (i think) will be a android problem not a htc desire problem so maybe some fix around the corner?

Bluetooth - PowerAMP Vs. Default Player - FIGHT!

So been using PowerAMP for music, which has been great. I only have one issue currently. I have bluetooth headphones connected, manually launch PowerAMP, audio works great, however if I hit "Skip" on the headset the default music player starts to play and PowerAMP pauses. Even if PowerAMP is in the foreground this happens.
In PowerAMP I saw an option to allow you to control with the headset controls, which I have enabled, and saw an option to up the priority of PowerAMPs headset controls so it would override other apps( theoretically anyways ). However it still launches the default music app.
I haven't seen any options in the default music app that allows you to change the bluetooth setting, and I have PowerAMP as the default app for music.
Am I missing anything here? Anyone else have this issue or is it just me? Couldn't find anything Googling around.

+1 for making a reference to a video game from the 90's! I loved Mortal Kombat!

Not that I have any suggestions, but what ROM are you running? I'm currently on Caulkin's E4GT EL29 ROM, using PowerAmp and a bluetooth headset but I'm not having any problems with the default music player...

I was on that same ROM Caulkins, and still had this problem. Last night I flashed Blazer 3.8 and then restored apps and system data with Titanium( System data restoring may have re-caused this issue, not sure, didn't test before the restore ) and I'm -still- having this problem. Annoying as hell, lol.

never had such problem, except once... and at which time I used Titanium Backup to delete the stock music app. problem solved, stock music sucks anyways.

If you dont want to fully delete the file you could always freeze the stock music app.

Same: Rooted; used SystemAppRemover to yank stock music app. Should be universal solve for any ROM. However, yes there are many other apps to remove stock apps

This. I also have poweramp and have not ran into this issue. Now, I did have to remove the stock player from my EVO for the same reason but this situation has never happened on my E4GT currently on this same ROM.
Have you tried to change the defaults? There is a program on the market called Default App Manager that would allow you to change all 'associations' to poweramp.
Note: Back when I had the EVO, I found myself being unable to launch poweramp when I clicked on a music file from a file manager, the phone would display a 'not valid file' error even though I was able to play the file fine using poweramp's library. The only way to fix it was to restore the stock player and then any file that was 'tapped' would launch properly using the stock player.

our problems are sort of similar. i use a wired headset that has inline controls. when i press the play/pause button, it launches dialer... the skip buttons dont work. manual says it works like a champ for iphone (idk, havent tested) i have the same settings on in poweramp. maybe its just poweramp?

[Q] Any audio enhancement will close...??

So here is my issue, and yes, searched but nothing comes up for my issue. It seems to not matter the ROM I am on, I have a T989 SGS2, currently running Avatar ROM which is 10.1 my issues is that when running a music player, baked in or 3rd party, I will use my LG Tone BT headset all day at work and at any given time, any audio enhancement app I use will crash. It can happen randomly, it may last for 5 minutes, it may last for 5 hours. Hers is where it gets weird, it has happened on other ROMs so it led me to believe that it was the music player itself, in which case was Apollo. I didtched Apollo and went to the MIUI player, but it happens there too. When I have the ear buds planted in my ear and running DSP manager, you really hear a difference when the audio enhancement quits working. So I deleted DSP mgr and added a 3rd party app, guess what, same issue. I have added Awesome beats and same thing, sometimes a reboot will fix the issue, but once in a while, I get an error of said music player has stopped working and then I have to find another 3rd party player to bypass that fault. Anyone seen thise before...?

That's weird. If you flash the acid that would give you both the acid and awesome beats. That's what I'm using right now....try wiping cache/devil then fix permission.

I have always made good practice of wiping after any rom flash or app install, and fixing permissions after a ROM flash and has settled. I have been running this Power Amp trial so far and have had it playing flawless so far, cross my fingers. It doen not seem to have the power like some of the mods do, but its better then stock. Do you think the mods will increase this sound or if the pro version of the power amp worth the price?

I set the eq in power amp, I have awesome beats on extreme with no eq, nooz on hard and largest, unique...just have to put your headphones on and play with it. My phone is LOUD. With really good bass too. make sure you uncheck poweramp as your direct volumn control. Also you can present amp power amp. It would have it extra lound.

[Q] Please Help me guys!!

Hi!, I had a serious nerve racking problem with Samsung Galaxy W since I flashed it with another official stock ROM in which I got much more languages including the french one. But the problem is that when the earphone is plugged in to listen to my music, it starts switching the soundtrack I am playing to another one that I wasn't playing, it even stops playing :'( . And it's the same **** everytime I want to play my music from the default music player or the one installed like Poweramp. So please help me to fix this!. Even when I wanna listen to my FM radio it shuts down by itself and I could hear some weird beeps from my earphone. The Autostarts apps won't solve at all my problem! :'(

I am not sure about the default music player, but poweramp has a feature like the one you described. When you plug in the headphone, it resumes playing. (An autostart musicplayer feature). Check the settings under poweramp player and hopefully you will see that option somewhere. I am not using poweramp so I can't tell you where exactly that option would be.
The other issues you desribe, I don't know. It may have something to do with the conflict between poweramp and FM radio... Maybe. I am not sure. See what happens when you disable the option I described above.

The stock rom don't have a FM radio app, so use Spirit FM, search the apk and download it.
And this problem happens with me too, but only sometimes. When I'm using a Bluetooth headset, no problems, but when I use a normal earphone, some lags occur.

Okay thanks for your help but now the problem is solved after disabling the "media button pressed" event's from the pre installed music player and many other apps running on your Android's system. It requires root access to be allowed "Autostarts.apk". Anybody else having the issue could use this app to fix it!

Music playback

Is anyone else annoyed with the exclusion of an equalizer? Music is a hobby of mine and the music player makes all the songs sound very flat. I've tried downloading an eq from the store, but after every song it resets back to the normal sound. I've also tried other music players with built in eq's, but those also reset after every song.

If music is your hobby you should know that equaliser is not a solution to your problems. Many times when/if you have bad headphones or your ears have got used to music that has too much bass in it compared proper hifi mixes, proper headphones and properly mixed music sounds flat. First I would try out better headphones and if you still have the same problem then try equalisers.

I have a pair of skullcandy Hesh 2.0. When i did a sound comparison between those and Beats HD i found no difference between them. So my headphones aren't terrible.

I still suggest you to try some other headphones. For example Sennheiser CX300-ll is not a pad pair could do with a little bit more bass when there is noise in the background. Or Koss Porta pro is cheap and good pair even though a bit dark sounded.

I don't know if it's your headphones but the stock music player gives me way too much bass actually. And I'm getting the phone for its Music only. I own V-Moda Crossfade LP.
