hey everyone,
i'm thinking of getting this phone, but could someone tell me about its music player?
- hows the sense music player?
- battery drain?
- audio quality with headphones?
also, i read on some threads about getting a call while listening to music. (with the original desire)
(when you're listening to music and unplug headphones to receive call, the music starts playing again through loudspeakers after call has ended)
does this problem still exist?
thanks a lot!
im not sure about the answers for your other questions
but the audio quality with headphones is quite good & without headphones it is somewhat average

It is a decent player with equalizer (for Headphones only) and several presets, but no custom possibilities I am aware of...
I am not sure about the battery drain (I have no comparison), but I don't think it will be worse than 3rd party players (I run my DS for an average of 3 days with around 1 - 2 hours of music/day) But I play around with the phone quite a bit as I only have it few days

Nope, this has been fixed, the music pauses even if not getting a call...
You could invest in power amp. Lovely media player that one.

Hello,
I have been listening audio books on my wizard for the past 2-3 years and since 4-5 days a problem has occurred.
When I play music the sound through the headphones is fabulous but as I start playing any audio books (most the same bit rate as music files) the sound is hardly audible.
Can someone suggest a solution to this problem please?
Been using htc sensation for a week or so.
While playing an mp3 using either the stock htc sense audio player or doubletwist, a call comes through. I answer the call. The audio pauses. I hang up the call. The audio resumes but soulds mono and muffled like a very bad quality mp3 rip. This not just for the audio from the mediaplayers, it is all alerts/ notifications.
Anyone have any experience/ resolution with this issue?
Corrupt audio drivers? Faulty unit?
I have the exact same problem. I hope someone can answer this. I found a workaround for that, but it's not elegant. When I notice that the sound in my music player is "mono"-like, I disconnect the headset, play my song over the speaker and then connect the headset again. That fixed the sound quality for me.
BTW, I couldn't find a way to reboot my music player either (which I think would have solved the problem too). Stopping the running/cached process for the music player doesn't work either. The music player continues playing.
Hope this helps a bit while someone fixes our problem in a more elegant way.

I highly doubt its corrupt audio drivers. I tried duplicating your problem, but it didn't happen for me, my apologies. Would a simpler fix of just pausing the song, disconnecting and reconnecting the headphones fix the problem?

The solution of playing the audio over the speaker then reconnecting the headphones worked. Thanks tnimoruen.
You have to unplug the headphones from the 3.5mm jack then play the audio over the speaker though. simply pausing the audio while the headphones are still plugged in & resuming playback will not fix it.
Not elegant but more "economical" than having to restart the device after every phone call.
glad I could help
I found a more elegant solution While listening to music, press the middle button in your headset twice (as to redial a call) and immediately hang up the call. That should fix the sound without having to disconnect the headset and play music through the speaker.
I have been in the process of using my Sensation as my mp3 player over my iTouch (purchased bluetooth fm transmitter and docks and what not), but have run into a problem I can't seem to fix. When I am playing music there is a distinct distortion in the sound. It sounds almost like a scratching, static as if listening to music on a blown out speaker. This happens with every player I have used (Player Pro, PowerAmp, Stock player) and every media I have used to listen to my music (built in speaker, external speaker, headphone, stock headset, fm transmitter). I have played with the equalizer settings long enough and cannot get rid of this annoyance. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
Bump, am I the only one with this issue?
I noticed it but I hard reset and it went away. I use poweramp

I haven't done a factory reset yet... if that cures it I will, but that's a lot of reinstalling I have to do
Just thought I would bump this...I am a bit surprised by the poor sound ...particularly over A2DP
Is there a music player or codec substitution that draws less current?
When listening to MP3s with the stock player (or any player), I'm guessing it's probably the CODEC that drains the battery. I had a 2nd gen MotoRzr (W490) that I'd play MP3s with, and send audio with a2dp to bluetooth headphones. I could play music for hours with no noticeable impact on battery. When my G2x is behaving, the stock music player drains more than the Bluetooth or WiFi radio - the music player is the biggest single drain on the battery. A little disappointing...
Any suggestions to reduce current draw while listening to music?
Stock 2.2.2.

I promise you'll be amazed at your battery draw
I listen to my mp3s with Voodoo controls amp powering my Beats By Dre headphones and there is very little battery drainage.
Google Music app will (at random) come through the speakers as opposed to my headphones, I'll unplug and plug my headphones back it doesn't help.
I've used other music players and this doesn't happen but I like having Google Music for streaming, does anyone have a fix?
