Audio Booster Bug on HD2 - HD2 General

Hi,
while listening to music i found few software glitches.
1. Audio booster if you save preset in an existing name, it is not saving the current EQ setting instead it retains the previous preset EQ setting in memory but on screen it shows the new EQ settings, if you goto some other preset and and come back to saved one you could see on screen that your prev EQ settings of that preset is retained and not the new one.
2. Listen to music using headphone with Audio Booster enabled, If you attend a phone call and disconnect the call you will notice while resuming the music audio booster won't be really enabled, when you goto audio booster again you can feel the change in sound, looks like every time when we attend a call and resume music audio booster had to be re-enabled.
Do any one have similar issue?

Yes, I have them both. Actually there is no solution for them on the forum, from what I've searched.

I got those problems too and also that its shutting down randomly and between songs, which is very annoying.
I have mailed HTC about it and the reply i got was that they've informed the developers about the problem...

Similar issue, I mail them too.

audio booster
have we heard anything on this bug? Mine just started shutting off randomly, Appreciate knowing if we have found out anything,,thanks,,Quig

Needs fixing, for SO long!
Audio Booster has always had this problem (remembering from my HTC Touch HD) where as soon as it's been closed or moved off screen, without music being played, it will close/disable.
I usually run it and minimize it, so it never goes off, but of course, as soon as you remove your earphones, it turns off/disables. Decided to never use again until a fix is implemented and/or it just picks up that earphones are connected and to stay enabled until it is manually close or earphones removed.

booster
I also had hd, but had no problems with booster on it, strange? HD2 shuts of randomly, just listening, not running or doing anything else? I guess just keep turning it back on.

I have HD2 and the same problem brought me here to discuss about it but it's unfortunate not to find a solution or at least a germicide to this bug!!!

Booster
Hope the techs find way to fix it. Or htc does update to fix? I really enjoy using music player, but audio boost continues to shut off randomly.

same
same here....but no one could make any solution for that...dont know why they made this booster....goddamn...

Audio booster bug
I would really like to find fix for booster shutting off. I would be willing to donate for someones time if they fix it. I'm Techdumb, so no chance I'll find anything,..LMK,,Quig

*Bump*
Does anybody know if the latest ROMs (TMo US?) still have this bug?
on a side note, I still wish HTC would fix the problem with AAC files not being listed in track order; a bug which has been present for YEARS now (On Touch Pro, Touch 3G etc....).
All in all little things like this prevent HTC phones from being the 'all-in-one' device I crave. Shame. Perhaps I should stop buying them ; )

HD2 audio booster
I have tried several ROMs ,TMOUS 2.10,does not have this problem.
now i am on O2 uk ROM 1.72,still same problem.
I have even applied Music patch released by HTC on their web site. Now booster shutdown with every change of Song.i have to manually switch it on for every song.really very annoying.i cannot go back to TMOUS because i want internt sharing options which is not there on TMOUS 2.10.
Any help.please .Thank you.
edit:SRS sound may help.

THEY'RE ALWAYS SAYING HERE "READ FIRST BEFORE POSTING", have you been to tips and tweaks section?? theres a first solution and then theres a reg tweak solution

Booster fix? not!
Niether "fix" worked for me. I'm serious I will donate 100.00 towards someone fixing audio booster! Not much, but maybe more will donate,,, Please, love my tunes, WITH audio booster!

audio booster update
I read on some forum,person had sort of work around for booster shutting off. Well his idea was just unplugging earphones, & putting back, it reset audio booster, no need to go in & turn back on. Well, I tried just pulling plug out until I lost 1 channel, then slowly push it back in until I get second channel back. Audio booster has stayed on steady for my 15 song playlist!!!! plug is not in all the way! But enough to get both channels,& audio booster!! So far working!! For me, it's great!!! Please lmk,,,,Quig

Just use a custom ROM with 2.1x base and Audio Booster will be fine

there is a solution ,use hd2 tweak

Hd2 tweaks
I've tried bsb tweaks,had a problem, what is hd2 tweak you speak of? Unplugging alittle is working right now? thanks for any help,,,,Quig

BSB tweak and hd2 tweak dont work for me neither does pressing X instead of done its bloody annoying because the sound quality with audio booster and srs is excellent but frustrating to have to re enable it after every song!

[APP] HeadsetMonitor - Automatically pause TF3D music when headset is unplugged

I've always had one small problem with TouchFLO 3D's music player: if you're listening to music with the earphones plugged in, and you accidentally pull the plug out, it starts blaring your music over the speaker! This can be very embarrassing if you're out in public and all of a sudden, everyone around you can hear your music.
I spent a long time searching for an answer to this problem, and I've never had any success. So finally, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create HeadsetMonitor.
HeadsetMonitor is a lightweight application that hides in the background and monitors the status of your headset. If the TF3D music player is playing when you unplug the headset (generally by accident), it will spring into action and instantly pause your music to prevent it from blaring over the speaker. Once you plug the headset back in, it will automatically resume playing your music. Additionally, if you want it to play over the speaker anyway, simply hit the play button and it will continue to function as usual.
HeadsetMonitor does not affect battery life. HeadsetMonitor only consumes a miniscule amount of CPU power for a fraction of a second when you plug or unplug the headset. It will automatically run on start-up and connect to the HTC Audio Manager program as soon as it becomes available (usually when you first go to the Music tab). It remains completely idle in the background until the headset is plugged or unplugged, using no resources except for a few KB of memory.
Installation instructions:
HeadsetMonitor only works if you are using TouchFLO 3D. It currently does not pause any other media player automatically. I developed and tested this program on the CDMA version of the HTC Touch Diamond, and can't guarantee that it will work on every phone.
It requires version 3.5 of the .NET Compact Framework, which should already be on your phone in most ROMs. Simply run the CAB file on your phone to install, and then either soft reset or browse to the application folder and launch the EXE manually. If all goes well, you can begin using it immediately.
great job- gonna use it
tried it and got an exception error. I am using the Touch Pro 2 version of TF3D

Do you happen to know what exception? Also, can you check the exact name of the AudioManager EXE in a task manager, please? I haven't tried the TP2 version of TF3D, so it might have a slightly different name or something.
Thanks!
My apologies. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it to give it a second shot and it worked as advertised. I apologize for not testing it again. it must have been something else conflicting. Hope this makes up for my error http://www.fuzemobility.com/remove-headset-to-pause-tf3d-music/

i am going to test it now. thanks for the efforts
Sweeeet I will not have to look around me suspiciously anymore while listening to Britney in the subway
nice app, but only one problem, when i insert the headphone back, it doesn't resume the song and it goes to the first song of the playlist..
Monsterchef said:
great solution for that problem - i have another one: I have a bluetooth stereo headset, and often when tf switches from having a call back to music, it shouts out at speaker instead of bt headset - that's annoying for me AND the people around me...
does your prog solve this TOO?
i.e. does your tool check if a headset is used (no matter which KIND of headset) OR does it affect the special headset like tools "FM radio" or "Equalizer" do?
thx for reply in advance (in case it does not affect your tool DIRECTLY...)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm not sure if it would work, as I haven't got a bluetooth headset to test it with. However, when you connect your headset to the phone, do you get the headphone icon on the top bar? If you do, and that disappears after ending the call and switching back to the music, then HeadsetMonitor should pause the music for you.

That's definitely strange. Is anyone else encountering this bug?
Could you give me some details, please? CDMA, GSM version? Touch Diamond, Touch Pro? What ROM you're using? What version of TF3D? Anything else you think might be useful. Thanks!
nice app .
maybe you can add a feature that it automatically disables the headset when there is call (incoming/outoing)?
this would be for people using normal 3,5inch headphones (no headsets) so they do not have to remove the headphones when they want to speak on the phone!

Sorry, I took a quick look and it doesn't look like it's possible to disable the headset without physically unplugging it.
Let's start:
GSM version
Latest official rom 2.03
Touch Diamond
Original TF3D
Thanks for this. It's working a treat for me on a HD2. Saves me having to install s2u2 and s2p just to get the music to pause when i unplug the headphones!
One suggestion if you're still working on this would be to get the Audio player to autoplay when the headphones are reinserted.
Brilliant app! Working perfectly on HTC Diamond (Win 6.5 / HTC Sense 2.5) using a Sony DR-BT20NX bluetooth headset.
Thank you!

This app is great! Thank you so much for creating it. This works perfectly on my CDMA Touch Pro 2! I have been looking for this fix for quite some time!

Crackled sound with equalizer other than Audio Booster

When I use an equalizer for example the one in Pocket Player I often get distorted/crackling sound in my headphones as if they couldn't handle the frequency although I know they can. I never get this with audio booster even though I have the same settings in both equalizers. Anyone knows what the problem is, some kind of bug? I want to use audio booster but the damn thing just stops working when the screen turns off.

Update for HTC HD2 Music Stability

This update for HTC HD2 HTC Sense enhances the stability of the music application so your enjoyment of your music is no longer interrupted by the player behaving unexpectedly.
Installation Instructions:
Note: This update is only applicable to ROM versions equal to 1.73.xxx.x, or lower.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=938&news_id=637
Installed without problems. I had very few 'stability' issues with the music app to begin with, so it'll be a while before I'll be able to tell if it improved anything.
And yeah, dammit, you beat me by a minute!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671207
what changes does this actually make, htc are always really vague saying what a patch does. does it by anychance fix the library reloading everytime
From time to time playback freezes for a few seconds - pretty rare but annoying - maybe this will be fixed.
Or maybe this is how HTC describe the annoying problem where Audio Booster does not automatically kick in when starting playback for the 1st time after a reboot?
the music player is always lag. unlike iphone player which is alot better
That's true, Music Player lags a lot... mainly after a couple of days without switching off the telephone and after an intense use of the player (2-3 hours)..
I hope this hotfix will solve those problems...
Does anyone has any feedback about it?
I wonder if there will be a hotfix for TMOUS, It lags so much i just dont even use that tab anymore

Can someone post this cab, it dissapeared from HTC support site
using artemis v9 rom. 16gb card. much faster near instant load and scan of 12mb of music takes 20 secs from several minutes.
Whoooha - /WIN.
No lag (stop in music after every 10 seconds) any longer when putting device into sleep pushing power off once.
Old Work-around to push and hold power off and let it go to sleep from the screen with 'shut down' menu is now absolete.
After this fix just find your music, push play and one-hit power off to let it go to sleep and music plays perfectly.
Super upgrade - waaaaay to late - but glad its fixed!

Audio booster is still not working
As my title, the audio booster is still not working properly after this update. It seems to cut out every time there is a drop in network connectivity.
This is a great shame, because for me it prodcuces the best audio output when combined with SRS WOW.
I am using S2P until audio booster is fixed, because bass level-wise, it is the next best thing. I know it is an iphone-clone along with S2U2, but they both do what I want for this particulalar purpose, so who cares!
Maybe one of the things they have fixed is where non HTC (4-pole connector) headphones make the phone act oddly like randomly redialling the last number dialled and the volume rocker fast forwarding tracks instead of doing the volume...?
Breaks Bluetooth Audio
Hello all.
I installed this hotfix on to Artemis 8.0 ROM and it broke the streaming of music to my bluetooth headset. Tried re-pairing the headset etc. to no avail. Anyone know a quick fix to return the audio output to my BT headset?
Thanks...
Guys, it says for HTC Sense. But thoes this effect WMP at all? I never use Sense to play music. But I have seen that WMP just randomly stop playing my music etc.
Any idea?
This fix does nothing for me... i still get lag, the pauses every 20-30 seconds...
REALLY ANNOYING. Although it didnt do it before, it jsut started in the last couple days, after a hard reset. ????
Does anyone have a solid solution to this problem? i dont wanna have to go to the 3rd party program EVERY time i want to listen to music.

I have now stopped using S2U2 and S2P and now using CHT Lockscreen and HTC Music again. There is still the Audio Booster problem, but with SRS WOW and Audio Booster on "Normal" it seems to be fine. I think if you choose a setting that it different, or customised then you notice the cut out. Either way, the phone seems more stable using less third party tweaks and software.

Sound too quiet, try this.

Hi all,
I've always felt that when playing music on my DHD that it's too quiet, when I've listened to music through my headphones I would say it's acceptable however when I've plugged my DHD into a HiFi or into my stereo in my car I could crank the volume to full control without it been deafening. I happen to find a fix yesterday by accident, I had my DHD plugged into my car stereo and the phone rang, I pulled the audio cable out and answered the phone, when I was done I put the cable back in and immediately I was like WTF just happened now, the music was much louder than what it was before I answered the phone, I would say it was about 30% louder.
I tested my theory by stopping the music and unplugging the cable, plugged the cable back in and started the music, while it was playing I opened the phone and simply dialled any random number and ended the call immediately, when it went back to the music it was most certainly much louder. I've tried it several times now and every time it makes it much louder than what it was before I make a call, I can now no longer turn the stereo full blast as it is simply too loud, just by turning it up to half way I would say it's the equivalent of what it was before when I had it turned up to the maximum.
I'm using Poweramp and I don't know if it's got anything to do with that, I will test it with the built in music player and see what it does. I originally downloaded Poweramp as I thought that the built in music player may be the problem.
i'll repet what you do and post some results... really want a louder volumen in headphones. I plugged my headphone in a Wildfire and it's incredible louder, no talking about an ipod! last week in a party i was ashamed when my friend put off his $50 cell phone and i plugged mine on stereo, so low volume....
wtf, that's true.. really don't understand what the phone turns on!! probably the same thing that volume boost turns on!!
Aha that actually works

Interesting find.
I've noticed a couple of ROMS which suggest better audio volume by 20%.
For example this one. (Speaker Boost +20%)
So somehow, somewhere the bug or issue has been fixed or improved.

Not really, i'm using that rom right now, and what it makes is improve SPEAKER volume, not from headphone. I made my tests in Android Revolution rom and can confirm that headphone is as quiet as stock rom, and it is improved by the "call trick"!
Thanks for sharing! I was experimenting a bit, and it seems like the simplest way to boost the volume is to make a call while music is already playing. The call MUST connect though, or the volume will revert to normal levels. Tested with Winamp.
Maybe have one of the dev's ask to look into this.
If this is different from the already increased speaker volume output, it probably is a bug that can be fixed / feature that can be 'un-featured'
works fine
I had similar experience with my laptop. When listening a mp3 file, the sound coming out from my laptop seems like no effects, standard sound without bass and treble effect. Have to play a movie file first together and stop the.movie make the song hear with the effect.
I believe this issue coming from my sound driver. Using another OS in same laptop. The sound play normally with no issue.
For our Android, it's about the sound driver too?
well well, i just noticed that in the Android Revolution 4 (leaked gingerbread based), the sound is improved by default, no needing the call workaround, looks like HTC fixed the strange bug for the next version...
i just wanted to share!
edit: if someone could try to confirm it, i'll appreciate! =o)
sound problem
hey guys i'm new to this forum, i would appreciate if anyone could help me..

I had the same problem, go to the Market and download "Volume Ace".
MarkieSA, you're an accident hero.
I noticed sometimes my DHD volume suddenly were loud . If I restart the phone, it will go low . I couldn't find out how to make it loud again until reading your post. I'm using PowerAmp too . I think it plays a role in this case.
Thank you for this great finding.
Really useful little trick for 2.2 users, especially for peeps using stock ROM's without the 20% boost via custom kernels. I had tried some of the volume boost type apps before rooting but all they do is invert the phase of one of the stereo channels. All this does is give you a very tinny mono output which is no use to say the least.

Audio Gurggle, Pop, or Crackle Fix

I recently started having issues with my new XT1575 where the audio would pop constantly in some apps and specifically when I placed the phone next to my ear during a call. Pulling it away from my face would make the gurggle disappear. After much poking and tinkering I found a way to fix it. There is a bug in the Audio Effects app that is causing the problem. Disabling the app fixed all of my popping, gurggling and crackling in audio.
To disable the app:
Go to settings -> apps -> (make sure "All apps" is selected) tap Audio Effects -> Disable
Just sharing in case this helps anyone else.

I think there is no need to disable it. Enter google play music settings-->equalizer and disable deep bass in the speakers. I think the deep bass preset by default is what causes the noises.
In my moto g 2015 i access equalizer through android settings, but in moto x I only found it via google play music.
I don't think it had anything to do with the bass levels. I only say that because proximity to my head seemed to cause the noises during phone calls. If i pulled the phone just 2 inches from my ear they stopped and voice was crystal clear again.
Hi all. Problem from this topic isn't so annoying for me. But from Marshmallow update I have an issue with audio files playing. I have my own sound for incoming calls (mp3 file) and for notifications (ogg file) and every few days my moto just stopping play any sounds. Incoming calls are quite (just vibration). When I try play any mp3 file with Play Music app it says me that there is problem with playing file. The only way to fix it for some short time is restart the phone.
I did twice wipe and after that was about 2-3 weeks OK. It's very annoying issue and I can't find any solution.
Can someone help me, please? Thank you all in advance.
Did you try different file formats?
No problems overe here.
But I only listen to 320kpbs MP3's or flac or wave.
Only good quality will come trough my speakers.
using good quality music will also help with that problem
Actually I tried different file format - mp3 and ogg files. It looks like phone has problem with playing any music files. I have all files on internal storage.
Corcerning quality I have also 320kbps mp3 files.
For me the main concern is not playing of audio files -- it's the phone audio during calls. The problem appears during calls when the backlight is off -- only if the phone is against my ear (proximity sensor turns off the backlight) or speakerphone on after backlight goes off. Pulling the phone an inch away from my ear (to turn on the backlight) fixes it, but that doesn't help because then I can't hear. Also, during speakerphone calls, turning on the backlight with the on/off switch solves the problem, but then it comes back as soon as the light goes off.
Disabling Audio Effects didn't do the trick. My phone, and my brother's identical phone, still have the annoying issue. I think I'll just return it while I am still allowed, and get something else (maybe an N6P).

320kbps...., "good sound" lolol
But seriously, it helps to avoid mega bass on the speakers, always good to turn that off
Here's a thread where seems to help to turn off the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode". It's under "Cellular network settings". See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/audio-breaking-screen-goes-off-off-t3302643
