Camera kills my music! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apparently a lot of HTCs do this, but if I open the camera app or take a picture it kills the music that's playing. That sucks.
Are there any tweaks to change/fix that or plans to create a salvation?

It's a feature not a bug kinda thing. No work arounds

It is in all android phone. For me it happened in my old Galaxy Ace and the G-Nex and now the Htc One X.

I've read that it was tweaked off on a few older phones, but no roms so far have that tweak or third party players that circumvent it?
It's not a feature if it's inconvenient, I could understand if it killed the music for a video but for a photo it's just silly. Silly like down's syndrome...

So the night people didn't know of a way around this, do the day folks have any work arounds?

Oohhhhh mmyyyyy Goddddddd man pleaseee is that your first HTC phone in your life ?
I listen to music while I take pics mannn
U just go to shutter option and untick shutter sounds

Along the same lines, is there a way to get music to keep playing when recording a video?
Very cumbersome when say...trying to record a girl dance to said music.

Multitasking

Do we know yet if htc has fixed the multitasking in the one. I had an x and x+ and the thing could not have more than a couple apps open at one time. It was quite annoying going into your mail app from the browser and having your browser reload when you go back into it. This drove me nuts.
If htc fixed that on the one I will be first in line to get one. If not then i will take a pass.
I read some article (hands-on) and it said multitasking is great, the phone just flew between apps
This is one thing I am looking for as well. I can't stand the multi tasking on my one x. It is completely useless. Couldn't even switch between two apps without having to reload them. I had also heard in one of the hands on videos I believe that they said the multi tasking had been fixed as well. But I'm still waiting for a thorough review.

lol, did you legit just copy and paste Ddot's post?
But, yeah, I have the SGS3 now and it's nice to actually have multitasking compared to my HOX. I miss the non-pentile screen so much and I will definitely be pre-ordering one of these.
Lol hey I knew that post looked familiar! he was just quoting without the quotes heh. Yea I have the hox and my buddy has the s3 and it absolutely drives me nuts that he can actually multi task...I almost stopped using the button on this phone as it is near useless.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
i read that it is limited to the last 9 apps you have used (which is more than enough i think)
so hopefully that means they have sorted it but could only get the last 9 working.
I'm fine with the last 9 working, as long as they are truly staying in some sort of saved state and pull back up to where you were at without reloading I'll be ecstatic.

9 apps only? With 2GB of RAM? A complete TRAGEDY!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
The problem is if those 9 apps are actually held in RAM or not. The HOX showed plenty of apps in the recent app list, it's just that they had all been killed already so it re-loaded from scratch.
Hopefully HTC have learnt, and if not then 2Gb RAM should make a difference too
M.
very nice
Any one get the ONE already can give some view on the mulitask performance?
If you you open several APP, like web browser and other APPs, when you switch back to web browser will it reload the pages?
Seems to work flawlessly none of the nine apps refresh

The phone will not have any multitasking problems with 2 gigs of RAM.
One X had only 1 gb, that's why it sucked with more than 2 apps open.

1g shall work fine for multitask, but one x has special handling to deal with multitask that cause it a problem. It killed app when memory still very much.
So we need ONE user to give their feedback on how good it is now.
Can someone with the One make a video and post it up please.
Go to Youtube Desktop version, play the video to 1 min in, Press home, go into email app, Press home then go to task Switcher app, Click on Youtube and see if the video is still at 1 min mark or it refreshed.
Its a deal-breaker for me

This would be interesting to know... Its not a deal breaker for me as memory management is fairly easy to modify with root. But it will still be annoying.
Root never fixed it on the one x for me despite tweaking

Can't post the apk, but if you Google NFSMW Nexus 7 MOD you'll find a version that works for our phones.
It doesn't have the blur effect and it doesn't run completely lag free, but it's definitely playable..
Aside from that, don't expect a fix for it...this effects the DNA as well and they haven't fixed it for that phone yet. How long has it been?

Won't hold my breath for a fix then. Thanks.
After the crap EA has been pulling with their games on all platforms, I wouldn't expect much anyway. They've gone to hell a while ago. Hopefully their new ceo corrects things.

[Q] Can you force Beats Audio on for ringtones etc?

Hi guys and girls,
My question is exactly what the title says, can you force beats audio to always be on for what your ringtone/ notification tones.
I've had a search on here but couldn't find any answers.
Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure it is applied if beats is already enabled... I can hear the difference in my ringtones when i turn beats on/off.

I think that's a completely different issue. The difference between beats on and off is not as drastic as when you set a song as a ringtone and when you play it from the music player. I noticed how crappy it is too, but don't know why it's like that. I actually found this thread by doing a search for a fix, but no help so far.
Maybe dragging and dropping music files from your computer via USB to their respective locations would work. I'm sure the problem is in the mp3 to ringtone format conversion process.

Well if you can make a lightweight app that plays a silent sound in the background at all times (enabling beats 24/7) then it should work. That's the only way I've found to get it working.
It will cause battery drain though....how much exactly I don't know.

It will make the phone not go into deep sleep... This is a lot of battery drain i think...
There must be a trigger to enable beats with every sound.... But i dont know where to find it.
If we make the apk responsable ( dont know wich maybe prizm.apk?) A user app. Would this change something?
Every other app downloaded is using beats and these are all user apps.
How can we change the system apps into user apps?

System apps use beats too. I moved a few apps to system to see if any difference but no.
My guess though would be to try and mod the audio policy.conf
Or maybe mod the htcmusicenhancer.apk

In the audio policy.conf i didnt find anything that could enable beats. I dont have the tools to edit a apk file.
Opening the apk file with a zip extractor didnt gave me the result i would have. Coudnt find something that had to do with beats also.

Could be a framework thing but I haven't taken the time to decompile the One's framework yet. Other than that I got nothing. I asked over on the ViperOne thread to see if it could be added into the rom. Now to wait and see if the dev can/wants to do it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one interested in seeing this happen wish I could be more help but I know nothing about war you's are talking about haha

Definitely looking for this feature as well. Even for me, who's not really good at distinguishing music quality notice how different the music plays as ringtone and in Music Player with Beats On.
I've noticed this before too. I also noticed that, on maximum volume, the phone plays ringtones louder than music. I think the phone makes ringtones sound worse (through reducing bass) so it can play the ringtone louder than it would play music, and not have distortion.
I don't think there will be a solution for this...
I have modified my custom ringtone a bit so it sounds nicer then before. So I can live with it.

Well since Beats is just and equalizer app, how can we edit the mp3 manually to fit the same options as Beats use?

This makes me afraid.
They turned down the Boomsound in 4.2 because people were popping speakers.
Rumor has it that HTC will simply limit the ISO or something to reduce the tint.
If they do, the HTC will have, beyond a shadow of a doubt, gone down the drain.
If they actually fix this, it will truly be the world's (second) best camera phone for low light.
Also, has anybody else noticed the dire lack of basic editing features in the stock gallery app? I installed the 4.3 camera apk, but it's ridiculous.

Whenever you send a pic or upload a pic it gets compressed. Since you are not rooted I'm not sure if you can change the compression threshold
