Hi everyone
Im looking for two things.
1. A camera for my Xperia S, that is able to take still pictures while taking a video.
2. I got a new car which connects to my phone with bluetooth and am looking for a music app that will allow me to change songs on my phone, with the button on my steering wheel, Apollo and Folder Player do not work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Please move this if it is in the wrong place

For the camera, i think u already have the stock camera.. If u are on .96 fw, i think u can get the best out of the camera..
For Music, didn't u try Walkman itself? If it hasn't worked, there are plenty of music players like PowerAmp, etc in the Play Store..

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.
Hi people,
i have only recently started using the onboard music player for my MP3's.
When I pause it, then go back to it a while later (usually more than 10ish minutes) when i play again the start position can be up to 3 or 4 minutes before where I stopped it. It's like dejavu a lot of the time.
I had to do a full reset the other day, and the problem is still the same.
And it applies to audio that has been converted by a variety of different sources.
Andy suggestions as to what it could be (or as a final point, a great small basic music app)
Thanks in advance
(and yes, my phone always locks so the start position shouldnt be changed whilst jangling in my pocket)

I'd recommend "MortPlayer" from the market. Great basic player with a good equalizer, and it plays by folder so if your tags are incorrect it won't mess up your albums.
Edit: Oh, and it's free. Always a bonus.
thanks, ill give it a go. Although any insight to the odd behavior of the stock player would be great.. if anyone has any ideas?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi everyone
Recently I flashed CM7 and everything works great exept for playing music. Whenever I play music the phone doesn't let me unlock the lockscreen. The lockscreen comes up, but it doesn't respond to my touching. I've used different music player but that doesn't help. The lockscreen gets frozen.
Im using CM7 with as music player PowerAMP (tweaking the audio didn't help either). I also use Launcher Pro.
Maybe the standard music player from CM7 works better, but I unistalled it..... does anyone know where to find the .apk for that music player?
Another problem is that the time and date always jump back to 01-01-1980 and 12:00. Anyone has a solution for this?
I hope you could help me

I think the problem is that you uninstall the stock music player.
You can find that apk file from the CM7 zip file which is the whole ROM you have flashed in recovery.
Open the zip and go to /system/app/Music.apk that's the apk
Somehow that apk file isn't in the system/app folder. But I'll look into the .zip file on my computer, maybe it's in there.
Thanks anyway

So I was loving the look of the SW3, especially when Runkeeper released their beta version. However now I read that offline music is more difficult than it really needs to be?
Why haven't Sony got their own music player on there, surely it makes sense that a lot of people are going to want to use the watch for this?
Do you have to use Google Music or is there an alternative? Seems like everytime I decide this is the time to buy one, something else puts me off.
I use Spotify on the phone and then I control it from the watch. I have also uploaded about 100 song into the watch and tried to play it from watch to Sony SBH-20 bluetooth headphones but the sound is sometimes laggy although the distance between watch and receiver is under 1 meter. I have no another BT receiver except car radio which I was not able to connect (message Device is full - ?)
Has anybody similar issue?

I was browsing through the online manual of the SW3 and found the following tidbit:
To download a playlist using the Walkman® application
Make sure the battery level of your SmartWatch 3 is 70% or higher.
From the main application screen on your Android™ phone or tablet, find and tap Walkman.
To open the Walkman® home screen menu, find and tap Walkman.
Tap Playlists, then select the playlist that you want to download to your SmartWatch 3.
Drag the slider beside download to wearable in the appropriate direction to turn on the download playlist function. A card indicating the download progress appears on your SmartWatch 3.

My Walkman application doesn't support this yet, so probably an update of the Walkman application should take care of this.
If you sideload ES File Explorer (using the APK and ADB), you can load music using ADB and play it with the ES File Explorer built in music player, it works surprisingly well.

Hi all.
just wondering what everyone is using Music app wise on their head units?
I'm using the default which is on my Eonon Head unit but i find that the "random" function always ends up playing the same songs over again.
Just looking for something that will work great with the head unit and will give a random or shuffle option? possibly if it can show cover art as well?
thanks
Poweramp!

Best one in my opinion too.
I switched to BlackPlayer Music Player and and I'm really liking it. Anyone else use it?
I use Blackplayer on my phone, PowerAMP Pro on my headunit.

biggest problem is lack of ram, any solutions?
A gig isn't enough?
I'm really enjoying using Google play music on mine.
Obviously you need data but all my music is uploaded to the free version and it's got all box art and suggests mixes associated with your music taste ect.
I use DSub to stream music off my server at home. It works well and my entire music library is at my fingertips. You need data but the app will cache songs so you don't have to re-download songs (or don't have a data connection while driving through a remote area).

I'm surprised at how little I see this suggested. The majority of the reason I want an Android head unit is so i can use Google Play Music straight from the head unit. I have plenty of data, so I dont have to worry about it, but if you are worried about data, you can set Google Play Music to download songs and cache on wifi
I cant make the Poweramp works fine... (
