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?

[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!

[Q] No sound/fast video playback

Since a few days I have no sound on my phone. Also the video playback is playing at a faster speed (I would like to say double speed). This afternoon I had problems trying to call someone, it kept saying Dialling but would not connect. The last seems to have gone away, but still no sound in video's/phone calls/alarms, etc..
Text messages, whatsapp messages, email etc. all seem to work fine. Even when I have no wifi, so I do have a good connection to my provider.
I have rebooted, reinstalled my rom (Cyanogenmod 10.2), gone back to an old nandroid backup, heck I was even that desperate I tried to go back to the original HTC stock rom, but I it wouldn't seem to install the stock rom, but just reboot.
But anyway, I'm back to cyanogenmod 10.2 but no affect. I'm still having the same issues.
I've searched the forum and only came across this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48419066#post48419066 but it didn't help me that much.
Also google hasn't helped me. 1 guy said it was his radio, but wouldn't seem that likely to me.
Has anyone else got this problem and if they do what have they done to fix it?
update 14-12:
It seems that not all video players play the video's at double speed. VLC keeps the video at the correct speed, but still can't seem to get any sound. Even streaming media (plex, youtube, etc. are playing at double speed!?) Incoming calls also can't be heard. The phone rings, but I can't hear anybody.

Same issue here.

I sent my phone back to HTC, they repaired it free of charge...

I just flashed a backup and now it works fine

moto x..no media audio after call
I have a motox... since the 4.4 update after a phone call there will be no audio in media players and they play (video) at what seems to be double speed.
If I disconnect Bluetooth, then reconnect it's fine till the next phone call...
This is not player specific, meaning any media player ( YouTube, Netflix, NBC news,NPR audio)
Btw..not rooted

Problems with Podcasts Playback

Hello,
I'm using Pocket Casts as my podcast app on my Elephone. I have two problems:
1. It does not remember at which minute I paused the podcast
2. If I want to speed up the playback (1.1x - 1.3x) or use the "Volume boost" or "Remove Silence" option it stutters and is not useable anymore.
The thing is it happens with another podcast app too. But as I used my Galaxy Nexus it worked like a charm. I believe the problem comes from the phone. Has anybody the same issues with podcast apps?
I'm currently using the most recent stock rom on my Elephone.
I tried to switch on/off the special Elephone audio settings. No impact.

I can confirm your first problem and did some research on this, but it is hard to drill down. For me this does not happen all the time. Sometimes a reboot solves the problem for quite some time, sometimes not. I use BeyondPod podcatcher but also tried AntennaPod which is the same.
I think the problem is a faulty mp3 library or something similar, because I cannot reproduce this behavior with m4a (MPEG-4 Audio) files.
Regarding your second problem, I have only some stuttering when starting the podcast playback for up to 10 seconds, after that the playback is OK.

I tried podcast republic now and it works so far. They have special "Lab" settings in which you can activate soft decoding.

I have another question. Does anyone have some experience with podcast apps used with the Eragon rom. Did the behavior change? Was it fixed there?

Audio distortion in RN8P

Guys anybody facing audio distortion on speaker?
My device is unrooted and locked and I m sure this is not a hardware problem. I cannot get rid of this problem. Please help me figure out a fix.
EDIT : happens only on youtube app on speakers. Please check your and confirm.
EDIT 2 : A Reset from recovery fixed all audio issues. All works good now.

it happens to me

Nothing wrong here

should i return it cause i still have got 2 days to return or will it get fixed with a software update? Its a software issue so i dont think its a big deal but still its the youtube app that i use most.

I only noticed it on calls when using the speaker.

Happens to me too also just youtube/youtube vanced app, try playing Arctic Monkeys - 505 in youtube and it sounds terrible, then I played the same song in Power Amp and works just fine, also movies with VLC have no problems.
EDIT: I tried recording the screen to report the problem but seems that when you are in a recording the problem gets fixed, right after I stopped the recording the problem continued.
EDIT2: Though I don't think reseting the phone through the recovery is a fix to the real problem, and it should be fixed by a patch or an update (YT app or system) I tried doing it and it indeed worked, now is working just fine.

Even i am having the same issue for Youtube app and Youtube Vanced , the audio has some disturbance but the same does not happen when played on any other player such as music app or poweramp or MX player. Any Fix or solution also did your problem get resolved?

Yes after restoring the phone to the factory state through the recovery menu the issue was solved, so far it has been working just fine.

Has anyone else fixed this issue via a factory reset? I have it on speaker and headphones (bluetooth is fine). Definitely seems like a software issue from the way I've experienced it here.

Is there any other idea then The Factory Reset To get the raid of that sound problem??

Problem solved in new version's of PowerAmp

Hello. Yes. You need to install PowerAmp - build version 852+
And to resolve a problem with correct Hi-res turn off you need the following sequence of steps:
Plug in headPhones -> play track in powerAmp -> disable hi-res in powerAmp settings -> unplug headPhones.

this worked!

I have redmi note 8t, and it has distortion on almost everything, even custom ringtones, but only at max volume. If I turn it down 2 or 3 levels, it sounds fine. Is it normal? Do you had distortions on every volume, or just on max?

Did you had distorted sound on lower volume as well. On my redmi note 8t it happens on JetAudio, power amp and custom ringtones, but it plays fine on YouTube, and it's only when on max volume. If i lower the volume by 2-3 levels it's fine.
