[Q] Music player doesnt work after battery reaches 10%

I dont Know if this is a standard android thing or some dumb samsung thing, but why does the music player stop after the battery drains to 10%. It's my phone if i want to kill it using music then so be it. WTF

i noticed a similar dilemma with the camera :\
not sure of the percentage though...

I Havent try'd the camera that low yet. I understand that those things may take more power but if im choosing to use it then it's my fault if my phone dies.

Video player was the same way, but i could play youtube videos until it died.

Why would you want to use the music app at that low of battery? Not to be a **** but that's why its called a smartphone

Because it's MY phone and I want to do what I want to with it. If I'm at home listening to music idc if it dies. I wouldn't use it if I needed the phone to last that bad

Well I hope to see a fix for it, although its not a big deal.

There probably is a fairly simple work around.
I don't know of one yet, but I'd believe that there is.
I feel the same way, its my phone, I want to do that. I sacrifice the 2% that it might take to snap 1 photo.
Plus, I'd prefer if it were just a warning rather than a 'kill-app'

Use non-stock apps.
Have not tried it with camera, but music and video players that aren't stock don't give that message. I recommend mVideoPlayer and Doubletwist for video and music respectively. Both free. Rockplayer is another popular one for video.

SRS Enhancement

So I'm kind of a big drum and bass fan, my cars kitted out with a quality VIBE sound system and sound quality means alot to me. I just plugged in my skullcandys to my phone, started streaming some songs through Zune. I then turned on SRS in the sound enhancer and OH MY GOD! The sound quality is AMAZING! I never experienced anything like this on my iPod. I will most deffinately by purchasing my Zune pass once the trial runs out!

SRS really does kick out the bass.
Not suitable for all music but when you want to melt your brain it's amazing.

just remember using any type of sound processing consumes battery life. the more aggressive the sound enhancement the worse the hit on battery life. this is more so for mobile than it is for other cpus. it comes down really to instruction set built into the cpu, and how optimized they are

can anybody tell me what the name of the application is and where on the fone i can find..Thanks

the Sound Enchancer app can be found in the marketplace under HTC Apps.

Yeah the battery life isn't to good. I'm considering getting another battery or waiting for someone to make a legit 1500mAh battery

good taste in music, noticed the same litening to Logan D

This is probably just me but I have no battery complaints. I have an hour commute to work; So I literally stream about 2 hours at least. I surf the net when i can. text a lot (by my standards about 30 - 40 on average). Watch podcasts that i've downloaded via Zune.
In essence from 6am when I unplug the phone till about midnight when I plug it back to charge I'm good. Compared to my HD2 I would have been out of juice with just 2 hrs of slacker only.

Yea...I am a great DnB and DUbstep lover myself!! SRS DOES make a lot of difference!!

[Q] Need a new mp3 player, suggestions?

At the moment i have a SanDisk Sansa Clip+ and im looking for an upgrade.
Something under £90.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I don't know if it's just me, but I prefer using my phone as my primary music player as I would want to have everything integrated into one device (easier to carry). Do you people find any appreciable difference in music quality between a dedicated MP3 player vs inbuilt-music player on the phone?

I prefer a separate device, as then your still have a full battery on your phone.
And the quality is going to be better because it has one function, to play music.

The Cowon J3 has (from what I have heard) a simply AWESOME battery life and great music quality. Plays almost any file too!
Cannot post outside links yet, so you have to google

My battery life is good enough I can listen to music for about 10hrs and still have 40% left. Also with the equalizer options in gingerbread the sound quality is perfect

Time to ditch the G1 and get fly on a G6.

Volume+ app

Some said it worth buying since it has nice effects (like Beats emulator etc), but it generated much sound distortion while using it.. I also have DSPManager (I turned it off when I used Volume+) and it has much clearer sound! So, is it just me, or it really doesn't worth its price?

I like volume+ better since it has the ability to amplify the phone speaker sound (which DSP manager can't do.)
If you're getting distortions, maybe you're putting in too much bass?

I think voodoo sound is much better if you are talking about boosting headset.. and its free if you use kernels which has merged the voodoo control codes. If not, there's the paid plus version but only works for stock kernels.

voodoo plus works with any kernel. the app loads the sound modules it self. you only need to have root.

I have tried voodoo plus on some beta custom kernels before, it won't install the drivers needed to run because of it detects incompatible kernel. Just sharing my experience..

LilProphet:
DSP manager is better than any sound enhancement app I've ever tried, so if you're listening to music through headphones then I'd definitely recommend DSP. It also really depends on what kind of music you listen to, I know for fact that it works wonderfully with house, dubstep, hardstyle and hip-hop. Just the genres that require some nice bass boost
But I never really listened to music through the phone's speakers, so I cannot say whether or not DSP is better than the rest there.
And no, xilv3r, there's a whole bunch of kernels it does not support

Im using MusicFX for a week now, and it has much clearer and powerful bass boost! Give it a try, its free.

battery life and music playtime

i am planing to buy the xperia z but i have a few questions....
how long would the battery last with heavy usage of music playing (2-4hr/day) and browsing the internet (wifi or 3g) ????
and how about the loud speaker quality i 've read in a few reviews that the loudspeaker quality is not that great
thanks

Bro, you can chk it on this website of GSM Arena. A gd test is done abt the battery life an almost all aspect of the phone.

If you like my answer plz press Thanks.

thx bro...but it just mentions the audio quality and the battery performance regarding video and web browsing but nothing about music

I am also use XZ to listen to music, but I don't have specific battry percentage to tell you.
I recently start using a Bluetooth headset and the phone still perform very well.
Hopefully, I will test it today.

I milk cows and use my phone to play music, in the morning 4.30am to 8.30am and in the afternoon 2:15pm to 5pm...i dont have to charge it all day, but i dont use it alot at work for internet and stuff, just average numer of calls and texts...probably left with about roughly 20 - 30 % bttery at the end of the day

Yep, listening to music doesn't drain a lot of juice One hour and hasn't even moved past 100%. But web broswing on any android device sucks the battery, screen is the biggest culprit on my phone for battery usage

First off, the speakers suck, but if you were going to listen to music through the speakers then you're just an idiot just saying (No offense).
On the other hand the music quality through head/earphones is really superb and is in my opinion the best you can get (When it comes to phones.) I don't know how long the battery would last, but it shouldn't be a problem at all to use the phone with 1 charge per day.

I wanted to know about both actually (the speakers and the headphones) but i asked about the speaker specifically to know the quality of the ringtones

Ringtones shouldn't be a problem at all.
But for example music will suck (It will on all phones anyways) because for example you won't hear any bass.

So I measure battery consumption today
I heard music using regular headset for one hour and 20min.
And that consumed 7% approximately with stamina mode is on.
