Ok, so you mean that not all Hero have this bug.

I've just performed a reset and the problem is still here, must i call Htc customer service and ask a repair/replacement?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arimozuki:
my album app clearly degrades the quality but i assumed it was to reduce the file size and in turn reduce memory usage
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] code72:
Can you try this?

Download this regular lockscreen

http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=enyzn22lzml

and set it as lockscreen background;

is it ok?

Or lose quality?

So if i want to set regular lockscreen i must reset my device! I think it's not a good thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
i was being ironic. there is no such thing as an album art coprocessor. i thought it was obvious, sorry.

if you had searched for your problem you had pretty easily found that this is a common problem. since you can solve the problem with software, how should it be a hardware bug?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] code72:
Ok thanks, now we can only wait for an upgrade (2.1?) and hope that it solves.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
someone mentioned somewhere here that you can put the wallpaper into rosie.apk with metamorph, but when there was no button labeled "wallpaper" in metamorph i was too lazy to dig into it, i just use the wp s&s method.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h_zee13:
i have the same problem as you

when i set a pic as the wallpaper i lose quality big time

anyways i'll do what you said and use the apps you mentioned

thanks

[HD2 General] Gajet:
I'm interested to know how others are getting on with the music tab in HTC sense. It took me a long time to get round to buying a 16GB card, but now I have I'm struggling to get the Music tab to function.

With a small collection of music it works just fine. However as I increase the collection at some point it breaks, so that it will only play a few seconds of a track before stopping, usually accompanied by a spinning circle in the top left of the screen, when that stops spinning the music stops. Something to do with indexing I'm assuming.

My music is organised in a fairly standard \Storage Card\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\ style format so there are no individually huge folders My favoured bitrate has been 192 so the files shouldn't be too big. I've tried syncing with Windows Media Player and with Mediamonkey. I've had mediamonkey convert all files as it syncs to WMA format or to MP3 at constant bitrate. All with the same results.

Who has the music tab functioning well with several GB's worth of music on their card? What settings did you use?

Of course I can just have WMP as a quick link on my first line whic happily plays everything and retains bluetooth AVRCP fuctionality. However the Music Tab interface is far nicer when it works.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
<no longer true>My music tab isn't funtioning AT ALL, let alone well. It lists all my music (only 4 albums for experimenting, all tagged) alphabetically, and only draws the top half of the embedded albumart.

Doesn't even attempt to play, just sits there. Click next track, same - just draws half teh album art then sits there. Phone isn't hung or anything, just doesn't play.

Shame really, but i've not had it a week yet, so I'm gonna ignore it for now, and i'll look into it deeper once I have stopped playing with all the other bits.</no longer true>

See post 2 below
[HD2 General] gargon01:
Hi,

Well I have to admit that my media player seems to be working well *touch wood*. I've got a few gb's of music on the 16gb card.

As soon as I got the card I formatted it on the HD2 before I put anything on it. Then I just synced my whole music collection from my laptop to the phone via ActiveSync, navigated to WMP on the HD2 and updated the library and all seems to play well (after the a little white circle spinning while it indexes the library).

Try backing up the card. Formatting it on the phone then doing it my way and see how if it helps.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
**UPDATE**

OK i take back what i said in my previous post. I guess it was still reading the tags or something, because after having left it to sit for a while, it now works fine, including the albumart etc.

I didn't use sync, i rarely do for music players, so perhaps it takes longer for the player to find and scan everything using drag n drop rather than sync.
[HD2 General] gargon01:
Yes,

I think using ActiveSync organises the files into a more easily accessible format/location, which is why I suggested it. Good to know that everything is working ok for you now though:)
[HD2 General] Gajet:
OK, so I backed up everything on the card. Formatted the card using the phones built in application. Copied everything back except the music files.

Used Mediamonkey and set up an auto-conversion rule to convert everything it syncs to MP3 format at 192 bitrate whether it needs converting or not.

Updated the library in Media player on the HD2.

reset the HD2 and let the music tab re-index everything.

Everything is now working perfectly. Thanks for the opinions. Whether it was the phone format or just that I hadn't actually used those exact rules for syncing I can't say as mediamonkey was origionally setup to only convert files if it had to. I had issues with Windows Media Player missing out files.
[HD2 General] iphoneresister:
Everything still perfect? I am almost able to sync without incident, but the "audio manager" crashes at the end of every sync (and, when prompted by the phone, I keep reporting the crash to Microsoft even though I don't expect them to get back to me anytime soon).

It also seems like I have to do a soft reset after each sync to shake out all of the bugs (missing album art, unplayable song files, etc.)

FWIW, I'm only syncing about 30 songs now until I have this sorted out, so having GBs worth of files isn't the problem (I was NEVER able to get 8GB of music to work in Manila's music tab on my Raphael).
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
id say that sounds more like an active sync issue.its never been the most stable program. why not simply connect in hard drive mode (or put memory card in card reader) and just drag and drop the music to it , then let the phone find it all itself.that'd be my preferred method.
[HD2 General] kochavy:
How do you format the card from the Phone?
[HD2 General] rjstep3:
I can jump in and answer that one - press the Window key (third one along on the bottom) (or press the button at the top left) and go to tools and there at the bottom is a button to format the SD card.

One thing I would like to see is the ability for the player to decode .ogg files - I love gapless playback, and really miss it with mp3's. I am trying to rip some stuff now, but it is a pain having to rip multiple tracks to one mp3 file just to avoid the hop skip and jump when playing back.

All the best.

rjstep3
[HD2 General] Hoodeddeathman:
When I was having issues with my music tab I followed the format SD card and organised into Artist/Album/tracks but what really worked for me was converting my entire library into LAME mp3. 1500+ songs are now working perfectly. I recommend using dBpoweramp to convert if you're willing to give it a shot.
[HD2 General] rjstep3:
dBpoweramp is certainly very good - but don't forget the free options as well, including foobar, Exact Audio Copy and Freerip3 - just Google for them.

[HD2 General] hentro:
i am also having a problem with the music.tab on the htc hd2. at first i was really plsased.with this phone but no w i am havekng countless problems with it...such as cudnt play videos with utube app installed...now this music nonsense.....i have spent toooo much mone on this phone t be getin these poblems and alsopurchased a 16gb card....i live tge hd2 .if only there was less problems :(

nyway has anyone found a working solution
[HD2 General] Phaedrus Nine:
I thought all the music needed to be in a root folder on the storage card, no sub-folders within to work well?

I had same problem. HTC music player stopped after about 4 secs of playing with every song. Put it all into a root folder and worked fine since.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I don't know why that would be, but if it works then it works!

I have a "MUSIC" folder on my SD card, and in that I have artist sub-folders and then within them I have album sub-folders. It all works fine for me. This is literally the same folder that I've had for the past 3 WM phones, and I just copied it there manually, without using any type of synch.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Could be because of the length of the path/filename when sub folders are used?

EG

theartistfoldernamedartist/thenameofthealbum/theartistfoldernamedartist-thenameofthealbum-thetracknumber.mp3

Perhaps the scanner struggles to cope with long path/filenames?
[HD2 General] plac1:
Ive got this problem and i was wondering if it had anything to do with the quality of the storage card?

Edit:

REASON FOUND

"One bad apple spoils the barrel"

One badly encoded mp3 will make the entire player stop. I found this while playing mp3s on music tab whilst transfering new mp3s through drag and drop (active sync) as soon as one particular mp3 was transferred the player stop and music would stop after 2-5secs. After deleting this file and reaccessing music tab library it was back to normal.

Suggestions: leave music player on whilst drag and dropping so you can figure out which are the problem files.

Alternatively: Re-encode your mp3s, either all or the problem files only.
[HD2 General] DexterDuck:
I have been having an intermitment problem with the music tab in that it works fine for most of the time but then suddenly when I open it I get the spinning circle at the top left and the whole thing has frozen. The only way to get it working is a soft reset.

It doesn't seem to be badly formatted mp3 as after the reset the file that was in the player will work again.

I transfer music from windows media player using the sync function.

It has never stopped working whilst playing only when I open the tab and I think a few times it has been when a track has been paused for some time.

Any ideas are welcome. . .
[HD2 General] ThoroSOE:
My music tab doesn't work properly every time after the device was connected via USB in external drive mode. The last played title keeps being displayed, the album it is in is shown in the library as well (as currently played items or however this the first list in the library is called in english) but nothing else is listed. And the little white circle keeps spinning and spinning... I let it spin for hours once but nothing happened. The SD card was formatted by the phone in the first place and I never get freezes once the player works properly.

After a soft reset everything works fine instantly but shouldn't there be a way to get it up and running without resetting everytime I use USB external drive mode???

ROM 1.66 GER, problem was present on clean ROM (before tweaks and tools), too.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.1.html

2.1 SDK is out. Progress.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Good news.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
We'll need the source before we can take advantage of it as the 2.01 audio libs don't work at all... And for anyone wondering, livewallpapers runs extremely slow and is not worth using yet.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Isn't the source available on AOSP? I thought I saw it the other day when picking through the tree?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Audio works I'm running it right now. It's pretty much the same as 2.0.1 with the addition of livewallpapers. The new launcher isn't included. Most likely because the emulator can't handle the graphics.

http://cid-26b659bcabad8994.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/2.1-SDK-Vogue.zip It's just a generic sdk build with no Google apps. Livewalls works but is slow like mssmision said. Give me a couple and I'll see what I can add.
[Touch CDMA General] adeyo:
2.1 wow! ...a while ago i made the switch from sprint to vzw & i have been off of my vogue for some time, but am now back to it -i figured out how to get it running on vzw ;) I am looking forward to playing with all the new changes since i have been away!!

Do you think 2.1 will ever become usable on our vogues? or just bits & pieces like past upgrades?? i.e. especially google gps beta -i used that with the droid and it is incredible!

it's neat to see the familiar faces are still around this forum :D

btw, what do you guys think is the fastest/most stable version right now for me to use? (been away since november!!!)
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
That sucks about the launcher... How do we go about getting that? And is the little card preview thing for the home pages included?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Nope just the livewallpaper.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
you could try the new improved tattoo build or any of the donut builds. they should have the new google maps with navigation. if not you can update maps from market. there is also a 2.0.1 build which is almost the same as 2.1. google has already stated that the 2.1 sdk only has minor api changes.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
That's a shame. There should be a Nexus dump the launcher could be pulled from? ;) Think the graphics involved would slow us down too much?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
I had the nexus launcher running on 2.0.1 but it's slow and crashes way to much for normal use.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
as well the new gallery3d has issues because of gl stuff.. It works, it's slow, and thumbs don't always display.
[Touch CDMA General] adeyo:
Thanks Zen! ...i didn't realize there was a 2.0.1 functioning build out. I don't really care about the minor api changes. I will go do some digging and try out that build! it's fun to be back:D
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
AOSP repo is pulling down master/eclair right now, I'm watching it update platform/packages/wallpapers/magicsmoke,musicvisualization, etc.

I'm not entirely sure how to do so, but can't we compile this as a build for Vogue?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Well i just booted the nexus dump by replacing system/lib with the one in the sdk and then adding back some missing libs. Not quite usable about as good as Drizzys Droid 2.1.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Just out of curiosity, can you boot the nexus dump @ 240x320?
[Touch CDMA General] Nick N:
I would like to know this too.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
yes you can
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Wow, interesting.

I've got the Eclair branch (or what I believe to be the Eclair branch, it's labeled as such) from AOSP. I'm building it right now.

I'm optimistic that a clean build from AOSP will run better than the ripped/converted Nexus dump, but as I've never done this before, it's just speculation.

Zen, any advice on setting this up to run natively on the Vogue post-build? Anything I can package/upload for you to play with that might help?
[Touch CDMA General] polyrhythmic:
Realistically, what do we have to do to get OpenGL working on Eclair/Flan? Will the G1 update apply to our devices? Having no thumbnails is a real pain, in addition to the occasionally jerky animation.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
type make and find out :D. the builds from the aosp don't give you the google apps and things like that. so your basically building a generic image. if you add the correct source for the libs in hardware/msm7k and build for aosp dream you should have a functional build or else you can build it and just copy our eclair libs over after it's done.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
try replacing /system/lib/egl/ with the files in the attached zip.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Alright, it's building as we speak.

I'll report back when it finishes--hopefully we can put some things together to get a real solid build of Eclair up for all the MSM7k users shortly.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
music app is different in the 2.1 sdk build too.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Music is included in the AOSP generic build, correct? Music, Contacts, Dialer.. those are integrated?

It's applications like Gmail and Google Navigation that are not included natively?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
gmail, gtalk, market, youtube, maps/nav aren't included in the aosp generic build.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Gotcha. I actually like the fact that when you build from source you start with a clean slate. :)
[Touch CDMA General] polyrhythmic:
Thanks zen, I tried out the libs with 2.0.1 but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Do you have working OpenGL?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
I guess not.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Still building the 2.1 Eclair branch.. looks like it's going to take around 8 hours again. :eek:

Well in the nexus 2.1 market there is a duck hunt live wallpaper where a duck flies around and you tap the screen to shoot it. Very interesting.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
Those are yaffs images. I have a unyaffs binary. Search google code for zen-droid it should be on there. Or the files should just be in

@zenulator: the issue with the EGL libs is

E/EGL.oem ( 1195): could not open hw3dc (No such file or directory)

and then it just reverts to software-only OpenGL.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
EDIT: I'm making slow progress with massive google searching. I'm such a linux newb.. I'm amazed I'm this far. lol.

genext2fs and unyaffs have been added to my bash path and moved to /bin/, i've chmodded both to a+x, and unpacked system.img. Trying to validate that it's 2.1 and for MSM7k. Do you guys want to test my libgl libraries on your nexus/sdk image to see if GL performance works better?

Also, the GL Library you posted contains libGLES_android.so and libGLES_qcom.so--are those native SDK GL acceleration? In the system.img I built, I'm finding libEGL.so, libGLESv1_CM.so and libGLESv2.so instead? Perhaps these are actual native libraries for MSM7k GL acceleration?

Unyaff'd the image, managed to convert it with the library's genext2fs, and then mounted and squashed it. Guess it's time to toss this on my phone and cross my fingers...

[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
Could mean a lot of things - nothing out of ADB logcat for you?

I've gotten AOSP Eclair to work fine with the tree pulled using the defs on Sourceforge - never bothered to go any further once I had a booting build though (Google Experience / release-keys / etc.).
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
IT LIVES! :D

Haven't got ADB hooked up in linux yet.. guess that's a project for tomorrow. I tried to determine what version of Android I'm actually running--it looks like it could be 1.0, or 1.1..or maybe even 1.5, yet the menu seems to resemble 2.0? The wallpapers look old, and the system information says for firmware just says "Eclair." Photos attached.

My System.sqsh file was only 23 mb., so clearly it's very bare, nothing works (including the res being off, as I'm sure you can tell.) Can anyone verify by the menu options what build this is? :confused:

Wow. it's 3:06 AM. Crap.
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
ADB will help you a lot since you'll actually be able to tell what's going on - I'm surprised you got that far without it :)

Base open source builds contain almost no apps, no custom theming, wallpaper collections, etc. so they're very small. 28mb sounds about right.
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Does that look right (from the menu) to line up as Eclair? I couldn't tell for sure. The wallpapers, etc. match earlier builds, but the menu screens/system looked newer than the 1.6 AOSP build I'm familiar with.

So.. is this Eclair?
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
Yep - that's an Eclair menu alright!
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Awesome. :cool:

I'll be digging into this tonight in an effort to produce a functional, AOSP Eclair build.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Shidell.

While its great to see someone else getting into the system building game, could you move your development to it's own topic as you are working with eclair and this thread was for 2.1?
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Sure. Am I missing something, though? I was under the impression that 2.1 is Eclair. Has it become 2.0/2.0.1 is Eclair, and 2.1 is Flan?
[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
yes that is correct. 2.0/2.0.1==eclair 2.1==flan'

i would also really recommend getting ADB setup i recommend this version http://www.mediafire.com/?yjzwkondzyj uploaded by enatefox. i have found problems with the newer versions

also here is a guide to setup adb on linux. http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Ah. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Thanks jamezelle for posting those links.. I'll check both out tonight, and make a seperate thread for the AOSP Eclair (2.0/2.0.1) build.
