Hi all,
I recieved my new touch diamond today (really impressive exept for the battery)
Anyway, I wanted to add an album to the existing ones. The thing is that now, I can't brows threw the albums (iphone way). I have to enter in the library and choose an album. If I scroll up and down, it changes the tracks and does not switch between the albums.
Any ideas to get the iphone like browser back?
Thanks
Mine is the same way. Only i had some songs on the internal storage, then i updated to 1.37. Now it shows those songs in the flip, like ipod, but others i add do not show up. I have to go into library to see them.
I have the same thing. Never figured it out! I think it may only function like that if All Songs are selected and Shuffle is on.
But even that only seems to work occasionally...
I have the same. The touch flow player is just complete disfunctional crap. Dont even bother trying to get it to work because it wont. Your either one of those people which get it working straight away or one that wont ever get it to work. Its useless. Use mediaplayer instead, atleast that works. Its better too as it actually has a volume slider which the touchflow player doesnt which is annoing because that way you have to change your volume all the time and change it back again which I think is way to much trouble.
I agree. I've given up on it and have forked out for Pocket Player 3.
Audiobooster also leaves me with no bass so I can't use that anymore.
It's a real shame HTC have messed thing up so badly as I really liked the old AudioManager player.
Luckily the Diamond battery doesn't last long enough for me to get that pissed off with its functionality!
there's a wide misconception that the phone flicks through like iphone cover flow. it doesn't. what it does is flick through your current album selection or playlist. when we got the phone it looked like cover flow because there were a selection of tracks in one initial list all with different art.

This is not a bug, so why fix it ?
This is just browsing thru your "Playing Now" in stead of browsing thru an album.
If you want functionality like an iPhone, by an iPhone

what no way i'll stick with this functionality. The thing i that they sold it as an album browser (just read all the pre tests) and it would be easyer if it was in fact an album browser, keeping you from having to entre the library each time.
I have to agree, it was definitely positioned as if it performed like cover flow. In no videos or presentations I've seen does it say "look you can see the cover art" - which is essentially all we're getting unless you play all (and then all your tracks are in alpha order and not album or artist order).
Essentially it works but it was a bit naughty of HTC to position it as something it clearly is not.
I can live with it - a bigger issue for me is that my fave photo album never sticks!
In the user guide P68, they say that you can brows threw albums or songs...
And they would be right, you click library first and.... browse through albums or songs. There is no mechanic in the touch-flow music in order to browse albums by flicking and then it showing you the list of songs for that album. I'm sure it's possible but it hasn't been coded in that way.
I just moved over from the Tilt to the Fuze. I loved the way the HTC Audio Manager functioned on the Tilt, speedy and user friendly.
Unfortunately that cab no longer works on my Fuze. I've tried Win Media and Core Player but both programs have an incredible lag when choosing playlists.
Is there a HTC Audio Manager cab for the non-Manilla version? What else are you guys using to play your MP3's?
Try MortPlayer or GSPlayer.
I like Mortplayer. You have to be careful with the skins though, some of them like to crash, or have impossibly small fonts.
I wish someone would come up with a skin that has a car screen that's basically three HUGE buttons (skip forward, back, and play/pause) and then the name of the song and a counter. Most people have tried to focus on aesthetics but I think that would be the most useful.
mortplayer had a tendency to lag/skip when i play music on my fuze. i've since then switched to pocket player (so far so good)
I would use Nitrogen when I am on the run. If I have time, I like the look and interface of S2P. It's pretty slick with opengl.
Great feedback. I'll look into those programs.
One thing I noticed is that a lot of the players would shut off when the phone goes into sleep mode. Do mort player, nitrogen have that problem?
Here's the .cab for HTC Audio Manager fot TP/Fuze
I had HTC's Audio Manager working on my TP, found the cab after lots of diggin and testing... got it here on XDA, just don't remember where...(thanks to the maker of the cab anyways, sorry I don't remember who you are! )
Well, enough chatting, here you get it (lucky you I keep most of my cabs in MediaFire ):

Thanks! I've been playing around with both HTC Audio Manager and Nitrogen. Both are great programs so it's hard to narrow it down to one music program for my Fuze.

I'm not sure it's a unique feature, but I am toying with Nitrogen, and it has a "blank screen" button. The elements of Nitrogens user-interface are super-simple and easy to manipulate. As a plus its billed to be lightweight and responsive - it's fast to me.
Nitrogen is still early in development, and it looks like the author is adding features that you may miss, relative to more mature players, like Mort.

I have a cab in my faq that's called keep music playing.
basically you just hit the power button to put your phone into standby mode.
it's better than blank screen as taht just shows a black screen and still uses more battery.
The music player built in to tf3d is as good as any of the other ones. Nice library function. Menu has the audio booster built in to it. Shuffles music. I can't find anything that works as good as this. This came stock with my sprint touch pro.
i use S2P *Slide 2 Play* it also intergrates itself into S2U just like the iphone which i like, power manage is awesome while using the music player and ease of use is also great, make it even better yet, its FREE!!

I am with you on this one. However i recently switched to WM 6.5 and titanium to save battery life so I have lost the Touchflo music player. I tried nitrogen and found it to be great in every way except one.
On the Touchflo music player it would scan your whole phone for all of your music and organize it for easy selection. With nitrogen though you have to look through all of your folders to find a song which is a major turn down for me as I use itunes to organize my music. Which means it goes by album and I never remember which album a certain song is in. If anyone knows of a workaround that would be great.
The best music player is Pocket Music Bundle.
Best sound and manager playlist.
http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm
realy like htc audio manager. Even when I used tf3d, for some reason the volume was too loud, and I hated having only 6 increments for volume.
Also unlike windows media player, audio manager doesn't think my 4 zillion sound files whic are from my various instaled games are music too
hello there, i just bought an X1 and was trying to find the best mp3 player. the ones i found on the phone were very slow. i have an 8 gb card with 1400 songs on it.
i need a player that doesn't have a delay between changing the songs and also a search function.
i found winamp for WM; i runs smoothly but i couldn't find the jump button.
any ideas ?
there are plenty...pocket player, imulator, s2p, lcg jukebox...
imo, pocket player is better choice, but it is not free
I also recommend Pocket Player by Conduits. Not free but the best player I have seen so far.
thanks man, i found pocket player, it's nice, but it's so slow . i'm having so many problems with this thingy, i can't even find the gps menu in settings
I dont consider Pocket Player slow. Its not lightning fast, ok. But slow?
Concerning gps setting: You will find them under settings\system\external gps
Another vote for Conduits Pocket Player. Not slow at all, slides and performs as expected. I had been a satisfied user for many years and had it running on all of my WM devices with no issues, and we are talking a far less spec-ed ones than Xperia. The best part for me is that it sends music over the bluetooth to a mono headset and with tweaks can be set up as a default media player for Voice Command, which means it gets controlled through bluetooth as well. Can't beat that.

With Pocket Player you can set up the interval between songs, even fading of one song into another.

I wonder if slowness is caused by your card read rates...
yeah, my card is probably slow, but this doesn't change the fact that pocket player has a not so nice search function. after you find the desired track, it replaces the playlist and you have to go back each and every time.
have you tried that winamp version for WM ? if i could find the "jump" button. it really looks like winamp and it's veeeery fast.
ps: i'm using the same micro sd on an n95 and it works like a charm, i'll try and update the x1 to 6.5; if i'm not satisfied with the results, i'll swap it for an n97.
It's a question of configuration. In advanced settings you can choose whether to generally replace the current playlist or to enqueue an opened file. What's more it is important to choose the correct method. If you want to replace the current playlist you choose open\open file but if you'd like to enqueue you have to use open\add file. It's the same in the library. When you press on an album, artist or track in the list a menu pops up and you can choose between play (replaces current playlist) or enqueue. In the library there are settings too. There you can once again choose between different ways the program interprets gestures/ actions. So all in all what you describe is a mere question of configuration and using the correct method
i've given up. i tried saving a playlist and it freezed my phone (twice). i don't care anymore.
now...this is WINDOWS mobile, right? on my p990 i had an emulator for old nintendo games (mortal kombat, street fighter etc); is there such thing?
what other games do you know? i saw a video, someone was playing tony hawk, i'm looking for something similar with good graphics and interesting gameplay, perhaps a football game, pool, bowling...
Perhaps... the problem is with your device.... I can't say I ever had any problems of any kind running Pocket Player, saving playlists, selecting songs, scrolling through lists etc, and I used it on quite a few WM devices so far. Can't even say the performance was ever affected by the ROM or specifications. It runs equally well on 200Mhz devices and 620Mhz devices, with 64Mb RAM and 256Mb. It even runs perfectly well on LG KS20 and that little bugger has many problems. I have it on my Xperia, needless to say.
FYI: I realise that you asked for a new media player, but I thought it was worth mentioning that both the X1s built-in meda players have a highly elegant quick search as you type feature.... just start typing..

if you have more than 1 song that starts with "mar" for example, it will only show you the first one
what's so elegant if it doesn't satisfy my needs? btw, where's the equalizer on these so sweet and neat "media" players? even with the players that have equalizer, the sound sucks in my car/headsets comparing to nokia.
i'm sorry to say this, i love ericsson, but i regret buying xperia.
Look it is clearly visible that you don't now how to use Pocket Player. You say: "This does not work, that is not possible". But everything you mentioned so far is possible with Pocket Player as long as you know how to use it.
Concerning your problem with playlists I cant confirm that the Xperia crashes when saving a playlist. Have you tried saving in another format?
If you don't like Pocket Player there are other solutions. Pocket Music by Pocketmind for example or Mortplayer. Both come with an equaliser but for me Pocket Player is by far the best program available.
AS for games you can get warcraft 2 and starcraft and heaps of other games.
hey, i have the best solution: throw away this crap and buy the goddamn ugly n97,
this morning i was trying to send an sms to a bunch of my friends and, surprise, i can't mark recipients, i have to select them 1 by 1. YEAH XPERIA ALL THE WAAAY
Look I found in 5 minutes by using the search function what you say is not possible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354164
Search also for the keyword "power sms" as this is another solution. Maybe there is even more software available here at XDA. Generally everything is possible with Windows Mobile because there is software for almost any function you can imagine. So please either start using your brain or stop annoying us with your false statements. I don't care if you believe Xperia X1 is crap and N97 is better but stop claiming things that are just plain wrong only because you are to lazy to look for a solution yourself.
for me nitrogen is the best mp3 player for winmo.
so i have to install a third party software to send a lousy sms? if i wanna send a message to 1 guy, i use it's default app and if i wanna send one to many, the other one. i can't believe this. yes, i'm slothful, that's why i bought a smartphone
oh, btw, sometimes, it doesn't show the number that's callin' me so i have to restart it...
i have nothing against xperia or WM, i'm just being objective here, but imagine if i would have had to pay for all these extra applications? imagine if i didn't know my way around technology. i would want my SMAAARTPHONE to do everything by default; and by everything, i mean the basics.
you guys know better than me that many 3rd party apps are ****ed up and buggy and laggy, and trust me, i had more than 10 symbian phones, i know what i'm talking about. so don't you dare jump on me with "use your brain, false statements". maybe i do have a cheap micro sd, but why does the old n95 work so smooth with it a?
altae, i dare you to show me a video of you using pocket player. i want you to load a playlist with at least a couple of hundred songs, i want you to have there songs that have the same title such as come(ing) undone by placebo, korn and robbie williams. search for "undone", let me see how it shows you all 3 songs and after you select one, the playlist goes on just like "good ol' winamp". if you can do that and i can't, i swear i'll hit myself as hard as i can with the x1 in the head, in my nuts or wherever you want me to.
I liked the idea of media panel since I knew about it. But now when i have it on my device and I took a closer look at it I noticed some disappointing things about it. It seams that's it's good in general but every part has some defect:
1)Pictures part(most disappointing)-it seams to zoom not the actual images but the thumbnails of them.What's that for!?Can't it load images from sd card?
2)Music part-has no equalizer(I can live with that) and can't show all songs of one artist.
3)Video part-it's almost OK but it is just a bit more laggy then WMP.
The point is-are those real problems or am I a noob and just don't know the solution?
Do you mean the the MPX Panel MR1 (without radio) or MR2 (with Radio)?
If it's MR2, absolutely yes, it occures to me.
If it's MR1 (Original ROM), I don't think so.
I had the second version of the panel, the one with the radio. I have just uninstalled it and installed MR1 version. Well...there are no differences between them, at least i haven't noticed any.The video plays a little smoother, that's all.
So there isn't any way to fix picture viewer in the panel?
I use the Media Xperiance Panel only to play high quality movies. For this purpose it is definitely much better than WMP. For everything else I use a dedicated program. It's Pocket Player for sound and XNView for pictures. The reason is the inflexibility of the Media Xperiance Panel. Like you mentioned it offers no equalizer and the picture part is crap. But to watch high quality mp4s it's great.
I just hoped that this Media panel was so useful as I thought it would be when I first heard about it. Oh well!.. I'm using other programs for multimedia too - Coreplayer for music and Resco Picture Manager for pictures, but if there weren't those defects it has, it would be a great useful program! Thanks a lot for your answers.
Actually I found a way to deal with the music player part! I've installed the HTC Audio Booster - it didn't work for me last time because i didn't rename the .mui file to my region code but now it works perfect! So now I have Media panel with equalizer!
Asked a question about picture viewer to Sony Ericsson support. They said to update my phone's software. Like it would change something even if I could(already have R3AA007)!
It's a sad thing. Almost every time you contact a support hotline (SE is no exception) you realise that you already know far more than the person on the other end of the line will ever
Yep, totally. But I suppose that's because people who you call/write to are not engineers - their job is to tell you that "you should update your phone's software and everything will be awesome!". But anyway i started using the not-zooming panel picture viewer to quickly look at my recently added pictures, it's quite useful to have all pictures in one place and not browsing through 100 directories.
I agree, the panel is definitely a good thing. It is not perfect and SE wasted some of the panels potential but it's useful nonetheless. Like I wrote before I still consider it the best solution to watch high quality movies. Far better than WMP.
Coming from my S6, it probably has the best music player I've used for phones. The stock one for OnePlus awful, no widget for it, just looks awful, is not a smooth interface, and has the tagging error where it can't recognise half the songs I've put on it, saying it is by "<unknown>" (A wma file error I've heard?).
But my problem is that all of the apps on the Play store don't hold a candle to Samsung Music, so
1. Is there any possible way you could install Samsung Music onto a OnePlus 3T?
2. What is the best music player for the phone (ads can absolutely kill a music app)?

i use poweramp , can ealily say its the best
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer&hl=en
BlackPlayer is one my favourites, looks absolutely amazing on amoled and has tons of customisations. It fetches artist images automatically and can also fetch album covers if missing. It has a built in tag editor as well. has a customised lock screen too. You can tweek around loads of things in it. I use the paid version, here is a link to the free version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kodarkooperativet.blackplayerfree&hl=en
ive been using this for a while, its great.. no issue for me, smooth transition between pages
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Project100Pi.themusicplayer&hl=en
I will always agree with anybody who says that PowerAmp is the best music player. I have tried lots of them and PowerAmp easily came out on top. It's a very, very well-made music player.
Nothing even comes anywhere near Poweramp. Well worth the purchase.
Phonograph all the way!!! -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabouzeid.gramophone&hl=en
Free!
No IaPs!
No Ads!
F'ing nice UI!
Poweramp = the best
Poweramp
Use PowerAmp due to high customization (Both Audio & Player) !
With tons of Widgets & Skin, it is indeed one hell of a kind!
The audio quality is superb if u set it correctly aligned with every Headphones, EarPhones & Speakers
The UI is very simple too use & useful too with tons of other features...
There are BETA version too though, that one is very cool due to improved visual effect playback!
Anyways, you should try it out & support the developers!
& here i attached my screenshot of PowerAmp from my device :
Sent from my OnePlus 3T using XDA Labs
I had a Samsung tablet around the same generation as the S6, and don't remember the music player being anything special. In general, I personally can't stand the TouchWiz skin and apps.
My understanding, most the Samsung apps require the Samsung framework, so wouldn't work without it.
Have to agree, the OnePlus music player is awful, and just about useless. It blows my mind that the app doesn't support playlists of any kind (only tagging), not even making new playlists in app. This alone was a huge deal breaker, and I was done using the app in about 5 minutes.
Little different of a music player suggestion, I've been (a bit surprisingly) using the Google Play Music app. Free, with few frills, and not many customizations (it does have a simple equalizer - although I prefer a system wide sound mod like V4A ARISE). But it simply works. It's mostly touted as a music streaming player; but it works just fine with files stored locally on the phone. Aesthetics-wise, it obviously conforms to Google's Material Design, if you are into that.
Google Play Music is not completely ad free: when you first open the app, the app will ask you to subscribe to ad-free streaming. And the streaming itself will have an ad when you first start, and periodic ads after that (but seem to be much less frequent then some other music streaming apps like Pandora). No ads if you are playing your own music files.
While Google Play Music is not for everyone, I've been enjoying it. I actually really enjoy the curated Google music stations. I've discovered quite a bit of new music this way.
i also was disappointed by OnePlus music app, since it doesnt even have a real playlist function.
i got myself newest HTC music player here from xda, since i had a HTC before and knew the music player always was pretty solid. so i can recommend that if you dont have one yet.

Ah, another HTC refugee like myself. Which HTC phone did you come from? I had the old M8 before the 3T.
I was actually thinking of suggesting the HTC music app myself. It's well laid out, and simply works. Nothing too fancy, but well done, as most HTC apps are.
I messed around a bit with the "ported" HTC apps on my 3T. But it actually made me a little sad to use the HTC apps, after abandoning them for OnePlus.
I was simply losing faith in HTC (after owning several of their devices - going back to my first smartphone in the old Windows Mobile days). The U Ultra looked underwhelming, although the U11 looks like a much better phone (but still overpriced). And the removal of the headphone mini-jack was a deal breaker for me.

i had the HTC One S, the little brother of the One X. Quite old phone, but it did its job still pretty good. even though no updates further than 4.2.2, which was kinda sad and the 16GB also began to become short since apps and stuff got bigger and bigger over time. but then i had the chance to get the OnePlus3 for 250€ and i couldnt resist.
true words my friend. its just as simple as it needs to be and offers basically everything what you would expect from a decent music player. i completely removed the OnePlus music app now and made HTC music my default. i also tried Sony music app, since they had some "music phones" in the past but HTC one was still better and cleaner in my eyes.
overall i am really amazed by my OP3, but i have no idea what OnePlus was thinking to release a music player without playlist function. thats just like a music player without mp3 support, pure nonsense.
If you don't mind using Google's stuff, Play music is a rather solid player; I typically use it because I have a play music subscription. but it works for the free version too, and you can upload your own music if you don't feel like storing the files on your phone.
I personally don't care too much for poweramp, but I don't have much experience with it, so I can't say either way if it's a go, or a no-go
Phonograph is wonderful, That's what I use instead of OnePlus Music. Free, open-source, material design, and customizable, without too many frills. Exactly what I look for in a local-storage music solution. it's also the default music player for Omni, hence why I started using it in the first place.
