So I finally pulled the trigger and bought my HuiFei head unit. I installed it just fine and most things seem to be working ok. I keep running into a specific issue with the MicroSD card and music playback however.
It will either play fine for a few moments then hang and crash the music app, or it will randomly start playing several seconds of each song just like if you were doing a scan for radio stations. I've tried the built in music player as well as PowerAmp and have the same problem with both. I tried the format trick recommended in the main thread posted by R4D3N. That doesn't seem to have corrected the issue.
I'm using a Samsung 64GB Class 10 UHS-1 MicroSD card I bought at Best Buy (Model: MB-MP64DA/BBY). I have my MP3's sorted as follows:
\\ARTIST\ALBUM\Track # - Track Title
I'm wondering if the file names are too long or if there's some other issue I'm unfamiliar with that could be causing this problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
So I spend a bunch of time this weekend redoing the tags and flattening the file structure on my MicroSD card. I renamed all the MP3's to ALBUM-TRACK#.MP3 and placed them in the \\MUSIC\ directory on the card. This eliminated the long file names and flattened the directory structure. Everything is working perfectly now and the volume is no longer randomly dismounting itself.

Dear all,
I have the HD2 and 16gb SD card. When I pair the device to my bluetooth headphones (Motorola S805) the device freezes for 3 minutes and trying to get the thing to play audio takes 5 to 10 minutes. I noticed that the device spends its time trying to scan through all the music on the card (12.1gb) and then eventually the audio manger crashes. Has any encountered this and also has anyone found a fix for this??? I am about to send the device back for a replacement as I have owned mine for less that 2 weeks and they wont take it back or cancel the contract so a replacement is all I can achieve at this stage. i previously owned HD, Ted Baker Needle and Tytnii and have never had this issue. I also noticed that HD2 does not offer a voice dialer???? Is that right??? Please help
I am having the same problem guys. I am ex-3GS user and I'm really mad a great hardware like hd2 can not play my music library(10 gigs). this also leads to very slow performance in my device in general when i choose to play any piece of mp3.
does any one every had the same problem ??!!
Thanks.
Fine with 7 gigs of music here. Ofcourse it takes some time to scan the card but then everything´s working fluently
I've seen a crash or an endless loop of library scanning a couple of times right after adding new music. A simple soft reset solved it.
The library file is "Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng". You could try and delete or rename it and see what happens. Wait for the Audiomanager to start rescanning your files, and when it's scanning, wait untill it finishes.
If that doesn't work, something in your library is causing trouble. A corrupt mp3 file maybe, something the Audio Manager wants to read but can't.
My library is about 12-13gb, so size shouldn't be the problem.
Most of the times the audio manger crashes because it contains illegal characters (characters that it cannot read by default). Make sure you're files do not contain any special characters and language specific characters.
I have similar problems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6110471#post6110471
Will try to avoid language specific characters in filenames and report back.

HTC itself do help
hi, lets us trust the one and only HTC itself.
got 1 best solution. no need to figure out other method to fix it. i done mine and it works! my MUSIC player working normal without any bugs. yayyy!
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=938
sort out your music into different folders try to have at most 30 songs in a folder, yes the hd2 is a powerful device but it still has limitations oe of which is the filesystem if all your songs are in one folder the filesystem would crash or make the whole device run slowly
Twice I've had the experience of the HTC Music Player taking over all the memory of the unit. A soft reset didn't help. The first time it happened I did a hard reset and reinstalled everything. When it happened yesterday, I was determined to find a solution without doing a hard reset. I did. Unfortunately, it meant deleting all of my music (about 1000 songs) and playlists. I've now added all my music back on to the memory card and created some of my playlists.
When the player "takes over" the unit's memory I see a small revolving circle just to the right of the album cover update button. Can someone explain what that is indicating? This revolving circle ran for more than 90 minutes before I finally gave up on it ever stopping. I'm assuming some file becomes corrupted and then puts the software into a loop. Does anyone know what file this might be? Can it be deleted? If so, what will be lost?
Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I've always believed it meant it was reading the media on your sdhc... I'd say there's an issue with your memory card...
Could be a corrupt music file ... try taking your SD card out and booting ..
If it does not do the same thing with the SD card out , either there is a file that is bad on the sd card, or could be the sd card is bad ...
if you have music in your phone memory move it to the sd card see if that makes a diff ....
Also , make sure that when it is "Hanging" it is not trying to update album art from the internet, 1000 songs updating could take a while ....
Mine does that but only for a few seconds and it comes up with the message buffering so it must be it is not reading the memory card quick enough......I have just purchased a Sandisk 16GB card and it still does it so I am not sure what to now. It just seems to get slower the more files you store on the thing

Accidentally responded to the wrong thread, but second time lucky!!
I've seen issues reported like this when the music is just copied over to the storage card. One of the files causes the music player to take ages to load or indeed crash.
The common solution is to use WM player to sync the music i think...
Just updated my N1 AT&T version to FRF85B. Phone is only weeks old. Everything stock. The update was done via SD card.
Now none of my music is being added to the music player library. Only WMA tracks show up - no MP4 tracks. Not even the few MP3 tracks are showing up.
Oddly, the music will play via Astro just fine.
All tracks are in a folder called Music on my 8GB SD card (newly formatted with Fat32). Astro has no problems browsing the card nor does my laptop's card reader.
I noticed when I put the card in the phone, it became unresponsive after about 20 seconds after boot. Then the phone restarted itself. It's super fast and smooth as ever (loving Froyo) and no other issues have come up (so far).
Has anyone come across this issue?
I have an HD2 running a recent version of Energy ROM. Everything is working fine, unless I try to put some music on the SD card. I have about 7.5 GB of music I want to put on there but every time I do the phone starts having random freezes. I though it might be the phone trying to index the music and knowing that the default card that comes with the phone is not very fast I went and bought a class 6 card as a replacement, but the problem persists. Anyone have any fixes/suggestions?

That can be caused by many things. First 2 I would check is make sure the folder structure is right Artist name/album/Mp3 & art if that is right I would check to make sure your mp3 tags are right. A search will lead you to a program to check your ID3 tags.
i had the same problem with music on my hd2, the way i fixed mine was to flash the evo rom on to it and the problem has never come back.
Got an Intel SC9853i headunit with SPDIF output, 4GB RAM/64GB ROM installed this weekend.
It is the "EU Warehouse" unit - EU-JY-UO134N4GS. I got it from Amazon, and the number there is JY-UO134N4GS.
So I had a few issues initially. Steering wheel controls with the ASWC don't map well, some of the buttons on my '04 Chevy Tahoe steering wheel have the same numbers when I try to map them, so I am making do with just volume controls at the moment. That's ok, it doesn't bother me all that much.
So now I'm trying to figure out what all I "need" for it. First, I need a music player... I use Pi Music Player on my Samsung S7 Edge, so I downloaded that, but for the life of me, I cannot get it to recognize my SD card as a source of music files. I looked on the phone, and there, I put it all in a "/music" directory, but this didn't make any difference on the Joying. It just keeps telling me I have no music files in my library. The Pi Music Player help pages only talk about transferring files via USB, not detecting what I've put on an SD card. I like Pi, because on my phone, I can browse by folder...
So I tried PowerAmp, and it seemed promising, but I messed around for 20-30 minutes and couldn't get it to sort things the way I wanted to. It recognized the SD card and files fine. The headunit does, as well, and I can browse through File Manager, too, so obviously the card is formatted fine, etc. Using a 64GB Samsung SDXC formatted in Fat32.
The way I have things organized is in folders by Artist, then with each album in its own folder inside. I'd like to see things show up this way, so I can scroll down and pick the folder of the artist I want, then pick the album I want and the track. Does anyone know how to do this?
I tried Amazon Music, but it wouldn't open, just kept crashing, then asking to update, updating, then crashing again. I deleted it.
I really haven't done much else with this unit yet. I installed Pandora - this app looks pretty plain on the big 10.1" screen - lots of empty space. Haven't chosen a GPS/map app yet. I figure I'll try Google Maps and Waze and see how things go.
I'm open to suggestions, ideas for must-haves, cool stuff, etc. I did put a 4G Straight Talk card in it, and after some weirdness for a day or so of not recognizing any card was there, I swapped in an old Lime SIM, which is recognized, then swapped back the Straight Talk card and everything works fine. WiFi works fine sitting in front of my house and my office, as well.
So, whatyou guys think? I can check some things if anyone has questions about this unit, too. I am a basic computer user, I don't know about rooting this thing and all that... I don't think I want to screw it up having just gotten it. lol
Thanks for anything you guys can offer!
Oh, and BTW, I am running the SPDIF output to my miniDSP C-DSP 6x8 processor, then RCAs to my Zapco amps. Sounds good. I like the sound, but I have a LOT of work to do on tuning for now... many hours to get it turned properly.
Only real glitch I've found so far is sometimes my reverse camera doesn't come on - the screen goes black and says "No Signal". But 80-90% of the time it works fine, so I know it is wired properly, etc. Same camera I have had in there for years with my previous Pioneer NEX unit.
No real suggestions? I'm looking for good apps for background and animations, music player, nav and whatever else is cool this headunit can do.
I don't really want to go down the root pathway just yet...
