No More HiFi logo in player. - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I Have a lot of music in FLAC format, but I can't see anymore the blue logo "HiFi" in the G3 player ...
last UPDATE ? I don't know but it's strange no ?
Thanks guy

Alright, so they apparently removed a blue logo. No big deal, just listen to your music like always and go on with your day.

Yes, but i'm not sure that the player are not converting FLAC to MP3 when listen.
I know it's not a big deal, that true, but your answer is not productive ...
I'm just asking the question, I do not see the evil in, so don't be so expeditious.
forum is no longer what it was ...
Thanks for your help

real audio player

sorry if this has been asked before, but i have searched high and low searching by name and by the extensions it uses, but i have drawn a blank.
i want to listen to some cricket commentaries on the bbc via wi-fi and they use the real audio RAM format.
i cant find anything that will play it aside from a 3 year old v1 real audio player.
anyone point me in the right direction of something a bit newer, or let me know if thats my only choice.
thanks
no one know of anything that will play real audio files?

Desire Music Playback

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.

[Q] Music player with 5.1 ch sound?

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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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.

Sound quality play back problems

Hi recently upgraded to a Nexus and am having problems with the sound quality.
I have downloaded several wmv to mp3 software programs and have also tried to copy them at different qualities and it makes no difference..
These are genuine CD's that I own not copys or songs or albums that been downloads
Its not the head phones that are a problem all 3 of my sets have been tried and work fine on my Galaxy S1 & my PC
How is the sound supplied on the Nexus is it software or hardware and software like a sound card in a pc?
Can any one help me please?
Regards Lee F
Anyone please I really want to keep this phone but without a decent sound its go to go back
I can't believe there are so many clever people on here and not one reply..
"O well the phone is going back to Vodafone now!"
You didn't even describe the sound problems you're having...
Click the link in my sig to see if that is the problem you're having.

Thanks for getting back to me...
The problem is that any music I convert to MP3 no matter how or what program I use the to convert the music comes out either like its underwater or if it is understanderable you hear the music but its sounds very dull mono tone like! also you can only vaguely hear the singing......No clarity at all.....I can best describe it as it sound like you are at the back of a giant concert on the back row.....
Regards Lee F
You might consider grabbing "Volume+" from the market. It has volume boost as well as a EQ that will work globally in that it will shape the sound regardless of music player. For my money I would just plunk down the cash and purchase "PowerAmp" It's one of the best music players for Android and contains a excellent EQ.
I bought the pro version of winamp with the same thoughts no difference...
I am beggining to think its something related to copying from the CD to my music file....it keeps coming up as a VLC file could it be associating them with video sound of less quality...?
Or what about that I am using a 32bit application in a 64 bit enviroment?
Any chance of a reply please?
Do the MP3's sound fine on your computer? If they don't I suggest ripping the CD's with EAC and then converting them with a LAME encoder.
If they do: Try out DSPManager and make sure the headphones are plugged in all the way.
My Galaxy Nexus doesn't have any playback issues (other than the loudspeaker's output not being very loud) so it's not the sound chip.
They sound fine on my pc and I have converted them using different software and nothing seems to work.....I will try EAC and let you know thanks for taking the time to respond to my post..

Try downloading the same song just one file by normal mp3 format see if that works well.
Downloaded EAC and it was easy to use and the music no longer sounds remote but the quality is not very good....
Perhaps I have not got it configured incorrectly do you think you could write a a few instructions on how you set yours up for the best results......
I did try to copy the mp3 files to my nexus direct from EAC but it did not reconise my phone...
Here's a guide to set up EAC: http://blowfish.be/eac/Setup/setup1.html
You can substitute .flac with .mp3 and type 320 in to the kbps box or follow the guide completely and then convert it to .mp3 with something like WinLAME.
If the files play fine on your PC with the same headphones I'm not sure how much this will help. It's worth a shot if you saw some improvement before though.

[Q] Best Music Player with Play by Rating?

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.
