Am i the only one that's bothered by the weak volume when playing mp3's?
When i'm working out at the gym i can hear the rather soft background music through the music that i'm playing on my phone.
How are your opinions towards this 'problem' and has anyone found a software 'booster' or another solution?
Thanks in advance and great forum by the way!

Well, try pocket music http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm or core player http://www.coreplayer.com/
I am personally using pocket player for the gym everyday along wihth A2DP Stereo Bluetooth headsets and the music is WAAAY too loud comparing with the default media player of the device. Mark that Pocket Music uses an extra bass feature that really ups the whole music sensation.

yes, I use the pocket player and I have to set the sound to 30%, because its really loud and hurting my ears when its set to 100%.
I have core player installed so i'll check that out first before trying the Music Player.
Still i was kinda liking the Music Player that came with the Rom because of it's fast Ipod-like interface.
Checking out the volume as we speak, will post findings.

Checking with the core player, turn eq on. Makes a huge difference in volume when using coreplayer.. In pocket music player the opposite is happening..
I liked a lot the default music player myself first time I booted the device, but when I saw no eq and low volume never run it again..
Core player makes me happy, 100% volume is ear-destroying but 60% is a nice setting.
Many thanks for the tips and advice.
I need high volume as well. I think I tried pocketmusic - maybe an older version and found no difference in volume or EQ.
It's also highly dependent on the type of earphones you use:
if I use the ones that came shipped with the phone I can easilly turn both the phone and HTC Audio player/WMP up to 100 % without it beging really tough on my ears.
with my highly sensetive koss plugs I can only go to 50 % before it really starts hurting my ears

Right.. Just use earphones having 100db or more..
My personal faves are the Sennheiser CX-300. Cheap, super bass and LOUD!!
Hi guys, actually I haven't searched for this problem (doesnt work somehow :/)
so don't lynch me
I have one little problem with my xda diamond - it's too loud.
When I'm listening to music with the standard headset (haven't bought a 3,5mm adaptor yet) I'm always on the last bar and even sometimes that seems to loud (yeah, I have to admit, my ears are pretty sensitive - but that was never a problem with other mobiles). I'm afraid that if I buy that 3,5mm socket and use it with my standard headphones it will get even louder, because their output is very high....
I tried to reduce the volume in the options - I can reduce it to 2-3% which is optimal. But sometimes I get this horrible bug, that some songs are on 2-3% volum WAY louder than on 10 or 20%. Just imagine, you listen to a song and when it ends the next song just starts like "BAMBAMBAMBAM" and your ears are completly numb
Somebody knows how to fix this, or can recommend me a different player?
Would be very grateful
Cheers,
Kashik

other solutions?
Use mp3gain to adjust the volume of your tracks. This is done (losslessly and reversibly) by adjusting the gain settings encoded into the mp3.
I have all the tracks on my PC set to 92dB but I have increased that volume up to 95dB for the tracks on my Diamond
to make sure:
when you use the up and down volume keys, volume is changed 3 bars at a time (3 out of 15 bars). Have you noticed u can change the volume a bar at a time bij using the touch screen?

maybe its a specific problem with my diamond... anyways, maybe its because of the player - can you recommend me other players?
You haven't been very clear about which player you're actually using!
I assume it's the HTC audio manager in TF3D? You've adjusted the volume of the player (in Schaps Advanced Config or something) down to 2-3% and it's still too loud? Something wrong there.
Try the Windows Media player that should already be installed.
Have you tried downloading and using mp3gain as I suggested above? It sounds like part of your problem is mp3 tracks with wildly different levels.
Hi I don't know if you have tried this obvious sollution yet or not; however, I thought I should mention it anyway, just because I know that when people tend to get frustrated, sometimes the obvious just slips by us.
Remember you have two volume controls on your device when playing MP3's. Your Audio player volume and your main phone volume. Try reducing both until you reach the optimim output level. I know that this really does not solve the problem because really you should not have to do this, but it might work for now.

Like said above - wm player has its own volume control so try to reduce both
I just bought the bluetooth headset Jabra-3030, and the volume control on that headset acts as a audioplayer control, and not as general volume control (like HTC RC E100). So I can reduce the volume more and it's far better (because when I work I like a low low volume )

i'm using the TF3D integrated player. no i didnt try mp3gain yet. no at 2-3% it is perfectly fine - but sometimes the volume seems to explode, especially with some songs - i see the point there. where can i find the standard WM mp3player btw?
Start digging in Programs
I have the same problem - if I use TFL3D and the standart headset that comes with the device, music is WAY TOO LOUD, even when I bring the volume control to just one bar. Using another music player (even MP) works, but hey, there should be a solution to fix that in TFL3D as well!

Hmm. I use the music player in TFL3d too. And yup, the volume was a little too loud at first..
Here's a fix :
Using a registry editor, I've changed the following key values:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\music_player_volumn --> 20 (default: 100)
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Information\volumn --> 20 (default: 100)
Music volume is now comfy, even at 3 to 4 bars

Now I don't have to carry another mp3 player to the library
Hi, I've searched the forum and I haven't found anything on this, so I just wanted to know if it is possible to change the current track playing on the phone using the volume rocker, i.e;
- by holding down for next track and holding up for previous track etc.
Also, I've noticed when I remove my headset from the phone (during playback), the sound automatically diverts back to the phone speaker. Is there a way to disable this feature, i.e;
- by stopping music/video playback when the headset/handfree is removed.
Before getting the diamond I was an SE Walkman user and I miss these features alot, so any help would be much appreciated.
The Monster.
Hardware keys...
You can change the tracks by using the 'up' and 'down' keys.... and pause / start playback by pressing the 'action' key (centre d-pad). Personally I flick the album art up or down to change to the previous or next track. You can even tap the 'next' and 'previous' icons on the screen next to the album art.... I think that's enough options to satisfy pretty much everybody's taste!

Thanks for the reply but I think you misunderstood my situation.
I was asking because I'd like to be able to change tracks using a hardware key, without having to look at the phone/use the touch screen.

My understanding is that the D-Pad is hardware... at least on my device it is!
an even better solution would be one that would allow us to change the currently playing song with hardware buttons while the screen is turned off. to be more specific, for example, hold the volume down key while the phone is in the pocket for next tune
or would it be possible to record a specific command to say in the headset for these functions ? if that were possible, it would be terrific, cause pulling the phone out of the pouch each time i want to change the track isn't so nice..
Nice bluetooth headphones

I use Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones which are really small, sound great and have all the controls you need... volume up/down, previous/next track, play/pause - all without having to go anywhere near your device. Of course if you're stuck in the 90's like so many users seem to be, I'll now get an ear bashing about how there should be a 3.5mm jack socket so you can use your iPod headphones or something!

totally agree!!!
s9 are awesome. i was worried about the quality been crapppy. but the second i put them on i was blown away by the sound. sure its not going to sound like etymotics or sure headphones. but they dont cost 200-300 dollars and dont have a wire to get into knots and get in your way. + built in controls for music and calls is just awesome.
yeah u can do this using coreplayer
u can change what the keys do eg. u can make the volume key change track
i see really few people blaming about this.
and this is a feature that HTC MUST put in this mobile: how si possible taht i can't change song with earphones? even my old Sony ericsson did it!!!
Are you using the stock headphones that came with the HD7, and when you say music are you referring to Zune?
yes and yes! i know that samsung does it, so its just htc probem
I would have swore the stock headphones changed tracks in Zune, but I stopped using stock headphones a while back. I'll test it out and let you know the results!
The stock headphones that come with the HD7 do in fact change tracks. Unfortunitly I hate earbuds so I'm using a set of Sony IEMs which, of course, are made for iPhones so the controls don't work. They sound good though. If anyone comes across a set of IEMs that do work with the HD7 please let me know.

really? How do you change tracks with it? The only buttons my headphones have are volume up and down and send/end call button, all for a total of three buttons, nowhere is there any skip track buttons...

a pint of beer if u show how to do this
stock earphones, like LuizRaul said, have just volume up/down and pause button. also if u double click on volume up or down, it doesn't change song.
I stand corrected. As I said I hate earbuds so I never actually used them. So, this morning I took them out of the bag and gave it a shot and nope, they don't work. Guess I just assumed they did. Well, you know what they say about ass u me. lol
and also with this Mango update htc didnt included the earphone control for changing the song
Have you tested this with headphones that have those controls. Because the stock headphones only have controls for volume. Also, I've started using BT Stereo headphones and the controls for changing tracks work fine on them. Even before Mango.

I'm on the same boat with you on this one... well actually, I flashed RTM Mango when it came out a month ago and they stopped working which is understandable, but then when I flashed the stock TMOUS 7.0.7004.0 I thought it would work, but it didn't so I started updating officially through Zune Desktop and every time it updated I checked to see if it worked and it didn't... I checked on 7.0.7008.0, 7.0.7392.0 and finally on Mango 7.1.7720.68 and it didn't work on any of them... so either I damaged my firmware permanently or something happened to the headphones (which is highly unlikely)
Edit: I was talking about the stock HTC headphones for volume and mic and both don't work only headphones work
This is the kind of thing that makes me want to go back to Samsung, I mean they are the leaders in sound yet can't get music controls correct and keep a freaken standard. Last HTC I had came with a 3 buttons headset and through all Android did. With the One they give you good headphones but a single button headset and no way to skip tracks.:crying: I tried 3rd party apps like headset droid to make use of the single button headset but it seems like some clicks go unregistered, single click (pause) works, but when you double click all presses after that go unregistered and you have to click (pause) click (unpause) and then you can change the track.
I confirmed using the button monitor that clicks after a track change go unregistered which seems odd and I'm surprised no one else has this issue? This is with the stock music player.
When using Play Music and setting Headset Droid to specifically control it it starts to work like i want but weird the stock player canot be controlled the same way.
Complaints like this are stupid. It's just headset controls and if it is really annoying you buy a different phone.
I know it may seem a bit harsh but a complaint like this is a bit redundant.

I use Sony livesound and can skip tracks, the only down side I find is not being able to adjust volume anymore.

Why is it stupid? The controls have nothing to do with the phone. The phone (stock music player) has the capability its just the supplied headset are lacking. If they supplied a 3 button headset like most newer phones then this would not be an issue (brothers Note 2 three button headset can skip tacks when plugged into the HTC One). Last HTC came bundled with a 3 button headset and if the One did I would not have to resort to 3rd party music apps and apps to control a single button headset. If they wanted to supply it with a single button headset then the music player should have been modified to support it.
Sure I can go buy Beats but the supplied headset should be able to complete a simple task such as changing a track.
I wish there was a MOD that fixed this! Drives me CRAZY. And I don't want to switch music players - I actually think everything else considered, HTC's music app is one of the best I've used on Android

Bro, Did you fixed this? Drives me too, i'm always keep calling every last call.
Pffff drives me crazy, so ridiculous.
I wish there was a mod to bypass the damn default settings of the headset button. This way we could use Jays Headset Control app....
I gave up on it and use Google Music now, I really liked the stock player but can't complain with the recent updates Google added. I froze the stock player so it never kicks in
So it does not work with a 3 button headset, or you are just obsessed with the fact that it it not COME with one?
Because it would seem like a simple fix to just buy one, if the phone supports it.
I just used the 3-button control headset that came with my Desire HD (they're still available on the internet) and it worked perfectly as before. I can answer calls, skip tracks, change radio stations etc...
