Hi there, this is my first post and I couldn't find any similar topic.
I'm planning to buy a XP, but there's a deal breaker for me: the mono output with headphones, a feature which I found in my friend's Galaxy SIII when it had ICS. It would be extremely useful, for I am deaf from one hear and I would use my headphones a lot while gaming/listening to music/watching videos. So the question is, can someone with a custom ICS/JB rom tell me if this feature is available in the accessibility options? Thanks in advance for the answer. And sorry for my bad English...
Just bumping this thread, hoping someone will be abke to answer my question.
Man I'm deaf from one hear too, but I never saw such an option in a rom
However I found a way to partially solve this: download this app from play store (it's an equalizer app, really useful) and enable virtualizer
Let me know if it works for you
First, my most sincere thanks for replying: I was afraid that no one could answer my question.
About the app, I don't have any Android phone at the moment to check the app out (my friend is on a vacation), but I was wondering, does it work only as an mp3 player or with every phone's sound too? For example, if I was playing Chrono Trigger (a game that I love, as you can see from my avatar ), and I was fighting against Lavos last form, would I be able to listen to the boss music with the audio set on mono? Thanks in advance for the answer, and thanks again for the reply! :victory:
EDIT: what I mean is if it works system wide (making it possible to use Spotify, Pandora, Youtube, games/emulators and other apps with mono output)

Hello guys i have question about the Audio Booster and i need some help from some Music expert or someone who know the settings!
Im using often my Blackstone to listen music and the Audio Booster is good app for me!
Also im using the default Music player because for me he play good the songs !
But i don`t like all the presets from the Audio Booster so i wana make my Custum Preset but the problem is that i don`t understand from Music equalizer alot and i dont know the settings so can anyone give me example about the equalizer i listen mostly Progressive House Music and i want the music to sound cool and clear if have vocals they to be cool and on the same time the beat to be clear and cool too!
If someone help me with this will be awsome
Thanks to all!
you just can send me an screen shoot with some Equalizer settings to try what will be best for my kind of music!
Thanks in advance!
flick through all of the presets, find one which sounds best and then, tweak each controller a bit up and a bit down, and see what sounds best. repeat this until youve done it for all of the controllers.
thats how i did it
Hi there,
I'm new to these forums and am really interesting in the HTC Desire. Being a user of Sony Walkman phones for the last 4 years music playback is a huge part of my phone usage.
I'm wondering as a device without an equaliser how does this rate compared to other phones for music playback? Is it possible to download third party music playback software?
Otherwise this phone looks perfect, possibly too good to be true at £15 a month on t-mobile!
Hi, check the GSMarena review - sound quality is top notch! (so why would you want to ruin good sound fidelity with an EQ?).
Problems with non-unicode tagging leads to things being seen as "Unknown Genre" by the music player, which is a significant bummer for some (like me).
Theres plenty of third party software, some with EQs.
same boat here.. i have been a Sony walkman user for the last 10 years and sound quality was/is top of my agenda..
the Desire is pretty good i'd have to say.. ok doesnt sound as good as my Sony X series walkman but its unlikely to as thats a dedicated audio/video device.. the nice thing about android is that there's a choice of apps you can use for music playback.. the stock one is fine but a bit boring.. i downloaded 'cubed' last night and its got a pretty neat interface..
i would like an equaliser to be able to add treble/bass etc.. and i've seen it in some players.. but the interfaces are a bit iffy at the moment.. hopefully in time someone will create an all singing all dancing music player..
oh and just keep an eye on the the low volume threads here.. some people have gotten phones that the volume is very low on but mine (unlocked unbranded from carphone warehouse) is plenty loud..
Cheers,
Mick

Cheers for the feedback I'm glad the audio is pretty decent! The idea of using a standard headphone jack is a nice change to the SE phones.
Another question is can you change song without having to whap it out? It may sound strange but when I'm walking to say University, I can currently just hit the rocker switch on the side of the phone to change track - is that the case with the Desire?
Or do I have to bring it out, unlock it, and then change track, relock it, then tidy it away? Hope not!

If you use the bundled HTC headphones, then no. They come with media controls on the wire.
But if you use your own headphones, then yes. You'll have to take the device out, press the standby button to wake the device and skip to the track you want. You don't have to unlock and jump into the music application. There are music controls at the lock screen for back, play/pause, and forward.
Ah of course I forgot about those headphones. Thanks!
Now I just have to wait until January

Haha, January?! Why the wait? Surely by that time, there would be something else available that's more desirable...
You can control tracks/play/pause from the lockscreen.
I have a question to users of the Desire: when you put videos on the device and upload them to the memory card, can you arrange them into a playlist on the device itself to be able to play a series of music videos, without having to select each one, and also to be able to skip tracks, fast forward and shuffle???
Can the built-in music player play a video playlist?
If not, can the video player play a playlist with videos separately from music (and even just play the audio file if the screen is shut off)?
If not still, is there any application - video player - on Android Market that supports video playlists and shuffle, skip and fast forward?
I would not dream of being able to change the playback speed tho, just to be able to play vids right. I'd appreciate any your insights
Meridian is a great music/video player!

the speaker isnt so good, though
I'm finding the music via earphones to be a little low. Are there any players with EQ so I could boost it up a bit?
I know people on UK T-Mobile ROM's had an issue with low music volume but I don't think that's the same issue with mine as i'm using the generic ROM.
I love the stock music player that came with my galaxy s because of it's ability to play music in 5.1 ch.
However, I have now flashed the latest MIUI to my sgs but the music player is not able to play music in 5.1 ch, so I was wondering if anyone of you guys know an app that can do this?
Thanks
5.1ch is just a sound effect. You can get it on any player app with basic tweaks to the equalizer settings.

Ah, I see. Does anyone have any tips on how to achieve this with an eq?
Sent from my Computer using My Keyboard
With 5.1ch people usually mean that instead of stereo (which is 2 channels, left + right) you have 4 additional channels (Center + Back left + Back Right + LFE or Bass (.1))
Your phone only has one speaker so I'm not sure how you want to achieve this.
The audio output is only capable of sending out stereo as well.
A source file with multi-channel audio is usually in *.vob format (DVD video format) but I know of no player that will show this on Android (except for the Archos Gen8 stock video player).
Audio only files would typically be in *.wav or *.ac3 format but same here, I know of no player that will play these multi-channel streams.
Perhaps I misunderstood your question?

im sure you can find a port for the stock galaxy s player in this forum

The stock galaxy s music player was able to simulate 5.1 ch (when headphones were plugged in) which provided a very nice boost in sound quality. What I'm looking for is either a port of that music player to MIUI or another music player that is able to do the same thing (or some eq settings that does it would also be fine).

I have yet to find one that actually installs on my phone
That option is a load of bull XD.When you listen you only have 2 speakers assuming you are using earplugs which makes 2.0 the highest you can achieve. You shouldn't bother about it... just a stupid tweak that imho makes the sound sound worse...
your comment is a load of bull.. no offence here. But the guy is asking for something dont tell him if its bad or not. He likes it other people like it some dont like it you find it bull. But he doesnt comment you on that does he?

And yes i find the sound nice to. And like other people said there are ways to get this trough EQ settings but so far i havnt got it the same as the stock player one

All I was saying that the option is stupid and it's fake it doesnt provide 5.1ch surround sound and I thought he was thinking that and I was helping his out of his dream (read his 3rd post... this is the case here..). If this is the case my comment is valuable if this isn't well.. he'll just do nothing with the information... It's a win anyway, he has nothing to lose, playing around with a EQ is way better ;/. Install voodoo sound tbh if you want a good musical experience...

The 5.1ch option was not stupid, even though it was fake. It made the sound much clearer and better on all headphones I used.
Will look into voodoo sound, thanks for the tip.
I had 5.1 available when I was using a gingerbread version I got from here. Now I can't seem to find one Pretty sure it was Calkulon or something along those lines. It was way better sound (with headphones) in my opinion, so I'm trying to find a current version that will deliver that "fake" surround

On a side note, I got Jellybean using a vid a watched from QBking77 on youtube, and he references you guys alot.
There are some bugs with Jelly Bean... For instance my mic cuts out when I hold the phone to my face and the screen goes off. Bluetooth headset... NOT A CHANCE lol. On speakerphone i can talk just fine. Headset, works great too. Sometimes I have to pull the battery because the screen dims. But for the most part, it works great.
Hi, I want a music player for my HOX, the stock music player is perfectly fine for me, but it's missing one option I really want/need and would help me listen to my music much more effectively.
The MAIN!!! feature I want is I want to be able to give my songs, star rating, and then create playlists based on star rating.
Such as
Favourites (Only shows songs with 5 stars)
Good (Shows songs with 4/5 stars)
Ok (Shows songs with 3/4/5 stars) etc
Also I want to ensure the music player doesn't effect my sound quality, as I've tried DoubleTwist and it made my music half as loud (half as quiet? )
Thanks for any help in advanced.
Anyone?!
Someone must know a bloody music player that you can play by rating?
Lol?!
Power AMP is pretty much the best music player ive used.
It gives you the ability to rate songs (up to 5 stars) and Enqueue songs based on this criteria.
Download the trial version and give it ago - also the graphic equaliser is top notch
THANKYOU FOR ANSWERING ME AND I WILL TRY?!
Surely others have used poweramp that have viewed this thread, thanks for your help lol.
Arse's.
so you post a question completely irrelevant to HOX in its q&a section, meaning youre not following forum rules, and youre upset because you didnt get an answer for a while? and you call names?? wth is wrong with you??
oh and SEARCH BEFORE POSTING! im pretty sure you couldve found the answer just by googling the question.
this is a forum, not a helpdesk...
and just to get on topic, yeah, poweramp is the best player out there, it has a lot ot features, and a nice ui. worth the money.

I just got my G3, which I've been eagerly awaiting. Main reason I bought this was my understanding it would support 192kHz/24 bit audio like the G2. However, any attempt to play anything higher than 96kHz, plays back in MONO.
I have just spent 90 minutes with T-Mo support and then LG - both were clueless. So I hoping some of you kind folks would check this out on your phone, if you can.
Hi-res files that play fine on my PC, play in Mono on the G3. The same file converted to 96kHz/24bit format play in stereo. I am using WAV annd FLAC files. Thanks to all! - FRUSTRATED NEW OWNER
Have you read this? http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html ?
Apparently humans can't even hear the difference. It's more of a gimmick.
What kind of headphones are you using that you think 24/192 will benefit you?
I'm not sure why it's not working though.

Argh... Why'd you go and post that article? I just spent 15mins reading it all and it's soooooo long.... :crying:
Don't get me wrong, it's informative and predicated on evidence and I was curious, but soooooo long. And I actually read it all. Why did I do that?
Now I think I'm hearing things.... :silly:
Sorry to go OT, but the sounds told me to do it. :victory:

I really don't want to get into a discussion of the value of 24/192 - it's a feature that I paid for and frankly the thing that sold me on the LG. And I am amazed that even LG Tech Support is clueless as to whether this is supported or not... I had to educate them about sampling rates!
So, I downloaded a 3rd party player (Neutron) and another which I can't recall. They WERE able to play my hi-res files in stereo, so it appears Google Play is buggy.

Yes, my 24/176k files I loaded played in stereo using two different 3rd party players; but in mono using the stock Google play app. :good:

Good point! Hopefully LG fixes the stock app.
Google Play isn't the stock music app. My G3 plays the files in stereo with a hi-def tag for anything over 96k
