Hi all,
I recieved my new touch diamond today (really impressive exept for the battery)
Anyway, I wanted to add an album to the existing ones. The thing is that now, I can't brows threw the albums (iphone way). I have to enter in the library and choose an album. If I scroll up and down, it changes the tracks and does not switch between the albums.
Any ideas to get the iphone like browser back?
Thanks
Mine is the same way. Only i had some songs on the internal storage, then i updated to 1.37. Now it shows those songs in the flip, like ipod, but others i add do not show up. I have to go into library to see them.
I have the same thing. Never figured it out! I think it may only function like that if All Songs are selected and Shuffle is on.
But even that only seems to work occasionally...
I have the same. The touch flow player is just complete disfunctional crap. Dont even bother trying to get it to work because it wont. Your either one of those people which get it working straight away or one that wont ever get it to work. Its useless. Use mediaplayer instead, atleast that works. Its better too as it actually has a volume slider which the touchflow player doesnt which is annoing because that way you have to change your volume all the time and change it back again which I think is way to much trouble.
I agree. I've given up on it and have forked out for Pocket Player 3.
Audiobooster also leaves me with no bass so I can't use that anymore.
It's a real shame HTC have messed thing up so badly as I really liked the old AudioManager player.
Luckily the Diamond battery doesn't last long enough for me to get that pissed off with its functionality!
there's a wide misconception that the phone flicks through like iphone cover flow. it doesn't. what it does is flick through your current album selection or playlist. when we got the phone it looked like cover flow because there were a selection of tracks in one initial list all with different art.

This is not a bug, so why fix it ?
This is just browsing thru your "Playing Now" in stead of browsing thru an album.
If you want functionality like an iPhone, by an iPhone

what no way i'll stick with this functionality. The thing i that they sold it as an album browser (just read all the pre tests) and it would be easyer if it was in fact an album browser, keeping you from having to entre the library each time.
I have to agree, it was definitely positioned as if it performed like cover flow. In no videos or presentations I've seen does it say "look you can see the cover art" - which is essentially all we're getting unless you play all (and then all your tracks are in alpha order and not album or artist order).
Essentially it works but it was a bit naughty of HTC to position it as something it clearly is not.
I can live with it - a bigger issue for me is that my fave photo album never sticks!
In the user guide P68, they say that you can brows threw albums or songs...
And they would be right, you click library first and.... browse through albums or songs. There is no mechanic in the touch-flow music in order to browse albums by flicking and then it showing you the list of songs for that album. I'm sure it's possible but it hasn't been coded in that way.
My friend downloaded a program for his G1 called Tunewiki. I was wondering if there was a similar program for our windows mobile devices.
What is it? Is it like Music ID that comes installed from ATT?
No. Its a music player that automatically searches for and displays lyrics. It also gives options to see music videos for the song you are playing on youtube plus other neat features.
Update: Found a nice music player that downloads lyrics called MiniLyrics, but nothing as in depth an tunewiki. Maybe one day the devs behind tunewiki may port it to WM...only time will tell.

Im pretty sure there must be something like this among those 20-30 thousand apps for WM.
I remember using some player that displayed lyrics (if attached) while playing mp3, and it had option to find lyrics on some website. I can't tell you details because it was so many years ago when I was using VOQ smartphone, but what I mean is: keep searching

Well I found a nice app for that purpose, its called MiniLyrics. The thing is, Tunewiki...well, look for yourself. Click the link and check out the video.

Good point, tunewiki is no longer available for new users. They complain that there are too many users for what they can support. I'm looking at the minilyrics now.
Well, I sent an email to the guys over at TuneWiki, and according to them, they have ports for WM and Blackberry in the works. Its pre-alpha though so it might be awhile. Oh well, at least they are planning to bring this wonderful app to WM!
Just downloaded and tried '3' Music Player and it's very very good... Definately worth checking out...
Search for RockOn in the market and it's the app with a small "3"
Yeah I tried it. its pretty cool just needs alittle bit more tuning.
It stops playing for me when the screen turns off. Anyone else having this issue?
Looks sick, and hella smooth though

Not having that problem myself!
From what I've read theres a lot more to come from the dev on this one...
Yep! ³ has definitely replaced my default music app. I can't wait to see what he adds to it next.
Whoa! Crazy concept that one is.
Would be great if you had the option to have song/album/artist lists instead of JUST an album cube...
Best music app for Android I've seen.
One annoying feature, if you enable the headphone controls, it starts the player whenever you push the button (i.e. skipping a song in Pandora launches RockOn3 and they play simultaneously). Would be great if there was a playlist by folder creation function as well.
i got a problem with dis player it get freezed i dono y.... pls help me....
I just tried this out and it certainly contains the eye candy I love while still mainting usability. If I go past the Z however, it spins the opposite direction without stopping. I have to go to view mode then back to the three to stop it.
I love the automatic album art downloader too. Does it save the art to the actual mp3 file or to the app itself?
Crazy concept. I like it!
For some reason, I can't find it in the market. Is it still there?
so search Rockon and you will find it

Yep, search for rockon and it's the third one down if i remember correctly. unfortunately the "3" is "³" as in cubed. Not sure why they chose such a hard to search for name...
I hate to say it but I've moved back to the stock music player. I can't stand how this player functions and it is painfully slow.
Would anyone mind trying on uastring android?
When flash first came out I could watch flash vids on ESPN.com. now I can't, I've tried on stock 91, stock 33, and cyan 6 stable. I can watch if I change ua to desktop but until recently i could easily watch them like any other site. Its sort of annoying. its definitely good I can watch them but its a hassle to keep changing to desktop. I'm stock 33 right now. The vids show up but wont play.
Bump. I realize most people around here probably don't know what ESPN.com is so forgive me maybe if I keep bumping, someone who is familiar will happen across this. Thanks
I just tested it and they play fine for me. I am running the latest nightly but I doubt that matters. When I clicked the link it asked me if I wanted to play using double twist or movies. I picked movies.
I could watch in either android mode or desktop.

Thanks that's interesting. When I use desktop they work but don't ask what I want to use to play them. Come to think of it, when vids on ESPN used to work for me they never asked what I wanted to play them with. I wish I knew if clearing the browsers data or even wiping the phone could fix it, it would be a hassle but it'd be worth it. Oh well, its always something...thanks again
edit: they work when i have plug-ins set to "on demand", thats good enough for me i suppose
edit: now doesnt work "on demand" after the first time. This phone sure does test my patience frequently.
bump, just wondering if any issues watching espn videos have come up for anyone else? Im talking about the full site of course, not the mobile one.
Is there anyway the radio could be at fault? edit- nvm didnt work
Im grasping at straws here its just so irritating that the only website I want to use flash with is the only website I cant.
Im currently running a custom ROM and it still isnt working. Im on frg 33 but espn.com videos stopped working before I flashed it.
I am using Dolphin Browser HD and I watch the videos embedded in the page. They work great for me. The Volume buttons are set to scroll initially so you can go to the app settings and change it back so you can adjust volume while watching.

thanks thats interesting. I tried dolphin, i can watch vids on the espn mobile site but i still cant on the full site. I cant imagine what the problem could be since it spans stock/rooted, various roms, various browser apps and various radios, what the hell even remains consistent throughout all of that which could cause this? I love this phone but my technical difficulties sure are adding up...it would be cool if i at least had some number to call to get help with the $600 device i purchased. My fault though I did realize google wanted to forget the poor nexus one fairly early on...
Well, it is definitely slow to load up. I have dolphin set to Desktop UA. The page loads up. I click the flash player on-demand. The flash video box stays black for a little bit, then eventually the play button comes up and a commercial plays first. Then again the black box reappears and then the play symbol loads again. (this is with about 1mb/s connection or less). Its takes some patience, but its espn highlights on the go, for free, so I can't complain.
I also remember a newer version of flash player coming last week or maybe 2 weeks ago. You could try to uninstall and reinstall flash player.
When you say not loading, do you mean the flash area is black, or the area has an error message displayed?

When its set to desktop I've gotten it to work. But videos on ESPN played when set to android uastring but this was with only the first couple of adobe flash versions. At some point, after some update I guess, ESPN videos stopped working...
So I use stock browser/ICS browser+ to surf. And watching embedded YouTube videos within websites is a nightmare. I have STICK IT! App or even YouTube app so I'd have no problem using those but to even get the "share" button accessible I have to click play which causes a big lag and then im frantically trying to click share, which usually doesn't work. If I just let it play and then click fullscreen within the site it lags and usually freezes and blacks out screen and doesn't play
To add, I have sites loaded as "desktop" by default.
Usually what I end up doing is looking at video title and trying to find it myself on the YouTube app.
What are your guys' thoughts on playing embedded YouTube videos? Lately its been so frustrating.
EDIT: I forgot what the final straw was that had me post on here.....after the you tube video freezes or bugs out, the browser bugs and wont load a page until I reboot xoom, even if I end task in manager
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app

Try reinstalling flash on your xoom. Just go to the play store and look up "Flash". You should see something like "Adobe Flash". Uninstall it, and then reinstall it.
Hope that helps.
