[Q] Audio glitch question - HTC Sensation

I have Tmobile USA Sensation 4G with Equalizer app isntalled to boost the audio quality.
When I play music, everything goes smoothly as long as the phone display is on.
Once the screen goes blank, the sound quality just all of sudden drops back to like when there is no Equalizer app installed.
But the funny thing is after I wait like 2 minute or so (with the screen still blank), the sound quality will come back good again.
The sound quality will also come back when I unlock the screen.
Does anybody know what's causing this glitch? and if yes, what's the solution.
Oh btw, I never root the phone. Everything is just as like when I got it the first time.
Thank you for the help in advance.

Do you have advanced task manager installed? If so, is it set to turn off programs at screen off? I suspect it is and you need to add the equalizer app to the ignore list.

Thanks, fastbeemer.
I don't use Advanced task Manager but Automatic Task Killer and they work pretty much the same.
After I checked the kill list and uncheck the equalizer, the problem disappear.
But the funny thing is I can't replicate the problem. Which means I tried to put equalizer on the kill list again but it's not turned off even after screen lock.
Well, anyway that's a good thing for me
Thanks again for the help.

[Q] Phone goes Mute

I dont know if any1 is having this issue but my G2x goes completely mute at time like no sound from anywere AT ALLL
I have to restart the phone for it to get sound back
this happens on any Rom I try
are you trying to find a ringtone to use by listening to them one by one and so on? That and using some apps will cause the phone to pretty much mute itself... one app i know of is "torch"
nope none of those torch is the flashight app-the flashlight i use is the one that comes on the notification widget on cm7
don't have any ideas then I tried.
I get the same problem also. Though I think it only happened when I used bionix rom

From my experiences thus far. Regardless of which Torchlight you use (And the one on the CM7 uses the torchlight app.) It will kill your audio. I only used it from the notification bar, and it indeed kills my audio just about every time.

5.1 Audio mode problems

When I have my headphones plugged in to my charge and try and select 5.1 audio it says "5.1 can only be activated when all effects are off" but I have all effects off. Any ideas?

While in the Music Player app, hit the Settings button, then Settings Option, set the Equalizer and the Effect to "Normal". Then it should work. Mine does, sounds great.

+1. All settings have to be set to normal, effects and EQ. Otherwise you'll get that message. It took me a while to figure that out on my old Vibrant.
that happened to me on my droid charge. my effects was normal but equalizer was on auto and i didnt see the normal option below it so i thought that auto meant off. fixed it and it sounds amazing

[APP] Earpiece: boost audio, play through earpiece

I wanted an app to play audio through a phone earpiece, so that if I didn't take my headphones somewhere, I could still listen to an audio book as if I was on the phone. So I made a very simple app that toggles whether sound comes from the earpiece or the speaker: Earpiece.
Currently alpha, or maybe early beta, quality. Works on my Epic 4G Touch. Don't know how many other phones it'll work for. (Interestingly, I also noticed that if I have earphones plugged in and I select earpiece mode, then the volume goes up a little. I am curious if this happens for other users)
I also wanted an app that would let me boost the audio volume, so I added that functionality to Earpiece while I was at it (Android 2.3+ only, should work even on devices like tablets that don't have an earpiece). I know there are such apps (Volume+ seems to be the most popular one), but why have a separate app for this?
You can set Earpiece to show up when you long-press the search key. (I don't use this feature myself. Instead, I have another simple app that pops up a menu of my favorite apps when I long-press the search key, and I use that to launch Earpiece.)

With what settings in Earpiece?
I would expect the Boost setting to interfere with DSP Manager, since both apps would be trying to do the same thing.

Thanks! Tell me more. How did you test it?
Here's how I test. I start an audio book playing in Mortplayer, and then go to Earpiece, and toggle the Earpiece checkmark.
Clever idea, thanks!
Works perfectly on my HTC EVO 3D ICS 4.0.3 leak, boost as well - even the feeble speaker becomes louder
Cheers

Works perfectly on ZTE Blade.

It looks like the person on the other end of the line is just talking your ear off and not letting you get a word in.
Question: Should I activate the proximity sensor in Earpiece mode, and turn the device screen off and on based on closeness to the face?

Thats great idea. Im using this in sgs2 running aokp.

I just posted 0.02 with proximity sensor support.
Screen off while close to face is default for phone calls on my htc, saves lots! of battery during long talks.
So, yes, please
Workaround so far: With screen off manually (power button), sound plays nicely in the background.
Thanks and Cheers!
EDIT: Too fast for me Thanks again!

Did this happen with the previous version?
Can you send me a log after the crash? Install Log Collector, then do the crash again, and then go to Log Collector to email the log to arpruss at gmail dot com.
My ICS has a not stable beats installed, deactivated it, now works flawless
Noticed that the "Volume up/down" beeps don't get routed through earpeace, which is fine with me. Probably, because it's not a media volume sound?
Cheers!
Work on zte blade, but is it possible to use earpiece + speaker in same time?

You mean, for greater volume?
I doubt it, but I can experiment and see. Might actually be hard to tell if it's working, because the earpiece speaker will be drowned out by the main speaker.
I just posted 0.03.
It switches to the earpiece using a slightly different method. I'd appreciate reports whether it works for people.
By the way, no luck routing audio to BOTH the speaker and the earpiece at the same time.
I posted a release in the Market.
The release version carries one text ad on the screen, for my paid products. If the ad annoys you, just buy any of my paid products and the ad will disappear. Or just use a pre-release version.
Cool thing I found. If you turn on Earpiece while in Camera, the camera sound gets routed to the earpiece, and hence is very quiet, at least in my Epic 4G Touch.
(I know there are root-based solutions to the camera sound issue, but I haven't rooted my phone yet--I haven't found a way to do it that's both safe and doesn't involve copyright problems, like downloading unauthorized copies of parts of ROMs.)
I posted 1.01 in the Market and on the google code page. If you press MENU, you can go to Settings and select whether you want the status bar notification always, only when the background service is running, or never. The "never" is attractive if you don't like clutter, but unfortunately it allows the OS to kill Earpiece's proximity sensor and boost features (they need the background service) when the OS runs out of memory. Still, it's up to the user.
I am kind of excited by my discovery that earpiece mode makes the camera sound come out of the earpiece and hence be very quiet. I've experimented some more, and when I combine this with a negative volume boost, I can make the camera sound almost inaudible--probably inaudible to anybody more than two feet away except in an almost perfectly silent environment. Of course, for rooted devices there are ways of turning it off entirely, but I don't have root, and I want to be able to take pictures without disturbing people.

Spirit FM/Winamp compatibility?

Ok, so I'm having a bit of a problem with my Radio and Music player on my HTC Sensation, I have OpenSensation CM9 flashed on it, so I can't use the default radio. I bought myself Spirit FM today and I love it! The radio works just as I want it to. There's only one small issue, when I turn the radio off and switch to my default music player (Currently Winamp) the music is extremely loud! It's so loud, it kills my ears in surprise shock! I believe it is because the app thinks that it's still in speaker mode, but that doesn't explain why the volume can't be adjusted. I can slide the volume all the way to the last selection before mute and it will still be the same volume!
Is anyone else having problems with this app? Are there any solutions? Please let me know because I don't want to have to keep restarting my phone whenever I want to switch between the two apps.
Thanks.
Bump.
