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?

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.

Hello. Yesterday I was listening to very dynamic music (classical) and I noticed that very low level moments in the music were not played back. I tried all - Manila3d player, mediaplayer, tcpmp and the great newcomer Nitrogen. They all cut out the silent moments in a manner like they would have been considered as background noise. I was using HTC original audio dongle with earphones. Is there a regchange or something to change the lowest level played back/audio gate threshold?
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.

I have the Nexus 5 stock. When streaming Pandora (45-mins) with headphones only 3-5% battery is used.
Going the exact same route to work using Play Music streaming music (45 mins) with headphones it uses 10-12% battery.
Also I notice something called Media Sever is also at a high % of battery usage.
Both Apps are on Normal Quality
Google Music is streaming music that I have uploaded. (None of their subscription)
Can anyone explain why there is such a difference?

I use Rocket Player Pro and after like 30mins listening to music at about 50% volume with earphones, battery decreases by 7-8%. I have Adapt sound, tube amp pro and uhq upscaler on. On my tablet under the same conditions except the Samsung specific sound effects, battery decreases by only 2-3%..
Does listening to music on your s6 with head/earphones eat battery?
Is anyone having battery drain issue with music streaming apps?
The screenshots are with like 30min of music playing.
I'm using Bluetooth buds and the eu ROM
Seems about par for the course for streaming music and using Bluetooth. Phone can't sleep and Bluetooth does uses a decent bit of battery.
No way this is correct, almost no screen power consumption
