Agreed...samething here...its like it doesnt even shuffle it just skips a song lol...
[HD2 General] ronzogonzo:
I have noticed this issue on mine also and had the same issue on an iphone I had. probably has something to do with the algorithms used in the selection process. In any event, I noticed that when I created a playlist, enabled the shuffle and disabled the repeat function, it would play completely through the entire playlist once and then stop. Even after powering down, the next time I turned on the phone and went to the music player, it would be where it left off and continued til it went through the entire playlist. I am currently trying it on the entire library (700+ songs) and seems to be working so far. The only problem is trying to remember if a song has already played or not after 4 or 5 days in to it. But I think as long as you don't touch anything other than advancing going back to a previous song it seems to work, but I wish I had a better way to keep track!;)
[HD2 General] matthewharmon102:
i was so glad when i saw this, i know its not just me experiencing it!

does anyone know how the music is shuffled? i would have assumed its by track name, it could be by file name or info in the ID3 tags or some other source or a combination? maybe this affects it somehow

my solution is to turn shuffle off then turn it on again, it works for a bit then has to be done again. i also have repeat all enabled. im tempted to actually start syncing music with windows media player on my pc, maybe i could then create a playlist of all the songs shuffled then just copy that over every now and then.

it does seem more then coincidence that the same songs get played a lot. ive noticed if i have similar song names they are played close together. for example, i have a song called americas suitehearts (by fall out boy) and 2 versions of american idiot by green day (1 live and 1 normal). guarenteed every time these three songs will play one after the other (2 american idiot songs, then americas suitehearts) very strange. i know HTC released an update to correct some bugs in the music player, but i have no idea what was fixed.
[HD2 General] aLlamaWithARifle:
Definately a bit of a problem, seems to jump from bottom of the list to the top then back to the bottom etc when selecting songs not actual random.

Would love a fix for this
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
is there any other player that supports the remote and does the shuffle as it should?
[HD2 General] de Nosse:
I'm also experiencing this problem. Even tried some different roms to see if this would help, but to no avail.

Is there another music player that is easily integrated into a tab ?
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Woa, lots of replies! Thanks... good to hear I'm not the only one (or crazy).

Yeah, it's annoying. I haven't done any more testing but I've been thinking about this. I believe the Music Player shuffles the whole playlist the moment you tap the "shuffle" button. By this I mean that it decides beforehand in which random (but not random enough) order it will play the songs, instead of randomly choosing the next song each time the previous song ends.

Not much news there, right?

Now, I like to shuffle playlists containing lots and lots of songs, much more songs than I could ever listen to in one sitting, because I want to be "surprised" by what comes up. Unfortunately, as we have all experienced, the same songs seem to be put at the beginning of the shuffled list every time, so I end up hearing those songs over and over again.

But of course the rest of the shuffled list still contains all the other songs you put in it. This would mean that, if you're tired of hearing the same songs all the time, you could simply make a habit of skipping the first, say, 20 songs (the ones that always come up in the beginning) to get to the less familiar ones. Could be a workaround, I don't know.

Then there's still the problem that the player seems to like grouping songs from the same album together. Ideally, I think a good shuffle function should actively avoid playing songs from the same album/artist in a row (even preventing them from ending up together purely by chance; i.e., a good shuffler should go beyond simply randomising). But HTC's shuffler seems to actively pursue it: it shows more album grouping than can be explained by mere coincidence.

All very strange. :-/
[HD2 General] ronzogonzo:
I'l try this again, choose shuffle, disable Continue function. it'll play all the way through without repeating as long as you leave it alone. If you're constantly changing playlists or going in and out of the library, then it starts all over again. I have mine set like this and haven't repeated once since I set it. Player will stop completely once you go through the selected library, playlist, etc.
[HD2 General] diekee:
same problem here. the bias seems to be towards songs in the beginning of the list, so songs starting with a number or with an a have a bigger chance of being selected. the only way of changing the songs being played is adding an empty song entitled "111", which will result in other songs being randomly picked (i.e. the songs just before the ones that would normally have been selected in the alphabetical list).
[HD2 General] nagagaya:
hi

Please include me also i have also same problem htc hd2 shuffle is not working properly
[HD2 General] Bolosegi:
Glad I'm not just being too picky. I tried using Kinoma FreePlay, which shuffles nicely but does a lot of quick pauses in playback when the device is locked. Found that Windows Media Player shuffles well once it S-L-O-W-L-Y loads all the files into its library, but it won't stop playing the podcasts and other misc. audio files in folders that I've made hidden. Anyone know a good freeware alternative to the HTC player?
[HD2 General] u2pop:
Gyaaaa, someone have to let them know (HTC) about this. Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this.
[HD2 General] spikeyl:
Ive had my HD2 a few weeks and I thought I'd noticed the same think. I play all the tracks in shuffle mode but i noticed that after a soft reset the player would tend to revert to playing the tracks in alphabetical order. I only spotted this when it played the same track in a row (with different artists) and when some tracks kept cropping up (those with names starting with A!) I also noticed that the shuffle function was switching off (although at least once Ive had to switch it off and back on to get it to shuffle again).

I also think its done this when connecting to my pc in hard drive mode (songs are on SD card so perhaps player is resetting track listing) and possibly when switching from and to bluetooth (which i do several times a day). It doesnt always start from "A" either, sometimes it just plays in alphabetical order from where the play list left off.

Never had this problem on my HD.

Not suggesting this is what is happening to others, although seems to fit with a more experiences others are having. Not obvious to spot when tracks are playing in alphabetical order as you dont always think of the track titles!

How do you access native AudioFlinger functions from Eclipse using java?

Hi I"m trying to manipulate the audio stream that the HTC FM Radio produces on my EVO 4g. I see in the logcat that AudioFlinger is used to set the volume of the stream, so I know it's being handled by AudioFlinger. How can I access AudioFlinger from Eclipse (using JNI?) to get a hold of this audio stream?

Any small examples???

Thanks,

Jerry
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerdog:
ROM: Fresh 3.1.0.1

KERNEL: netarchy 4.0.1

I have my 4G turned off, and I just happened to be browsing my logcat (using aLogcat) and saw these interesting entries:

I/Wimax ( 332): <DC> Try to establish a connection to DC server.

E/Wimax ( 332): <DC CONNECT> IO error: msg='/127.0.0.1:7771 - Connection refused'

****That occurs multiple times****

Anyone else seen this? Why is it happening?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babble0n:
I have seen that a lot on my phone. I thought it was related to the Damage Control ROM I was running, but I never really researched it too much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdc177:
That is normal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZombieReagan:
Yeah, it clutters up logcat, but it doesn't cause any battery drain or anything. If you're trying to debug something and those messages are getting in the way just power the phone off with 4g turned off. When it comes back up it won't scroll those messages.

It's sloppy on HTC's part...but it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerdog:
Yeah - I thought so too - but there are a number of apk's in the \system\app directory that have DC in front of them but I am using Fresh's ROM - so I am not sure why they're there - I don't think he used DamageControl as his base....

Ok..... anyone know why? If it's continuing to keep trying to connect to a server using Wimax - why? and why is it trying to go to 127.0.0.1:7771?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefredelement:
The 127.0.0.1 IP address is a local loopback, a lot of linux services, modules run in a local loopback. I wouldn't think this is much but don't know why something that is turned off could be trying to connect to something.

Something else on the phone may be dependent on starting that package/module for some other reason causing it to try to connect.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmodelli:
Same thing happens here. To duplicate, all you need to do is enable and disable 4th. And that starts happening.

You can check in by netstat that once you enable 4g, a couple of ports get bound on the localloop interface (127.0.0.1) on that port range.

What I haven't looked st yet, is switch process is staying behind after having the interface disabled.

I'll take a look tomorrow.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
well this tid bit, i assume from init.rc, has helped get me started.

the most interesting sections i saw in /system/etc/wimax/sequansd/sequansd_app.xml -

<server>
<ip>127.0.0.1</ip>
<port>7771</port>
<maxClients>10</maxClients>
</server>
<debug>
<logfile>/data/wimax/log/sequansd.log</logfile>
<crashLog>/data/wimax/log/crash.log</crashLog>
</debug>

/data/wimax has all sorts of other files, including those sequansd.log files.

in my opinion, they're most interesting comments are:

sequansd.log: 9:10 45.306 >| DCX/SPY info >| Waiting for connect...
sequansd.log: 9:10 46.400 >| DCX/SPY info >| New connection 0x10E10001 from 127.0.0.1

i'm not sure where all of this is going, but i do find it interesting, 10 max clients on localhost port 7771.

when i turn on 4g, netstat changes and shows two lines with 7771:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7771 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7771 127.0.0.1:36932 ESTABLISHED

any ideas? worth changing the max client number in the conf file? changing ip address or port?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] qkall:
i feel my growth through all things linux has been at a stand still for a little and really want go further. so i thought of starting a challenging but presumably not impossible project... and since the rhobuntu project (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640785) seems dead and i suspect puppy would run beautifully (http://www.puppylinux.org/wikka/MinReq) on the htc rhodium, it all seems like the right time.

anyhow i admittedly know very little on making this work... but most of the ground work seems to be done.. the kernel is pretty active through the xdandroid project (with the lack of speaker sound and camera not being a big deal), they have a port already for the sms/phone (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709101) features... and i remember puppy can handle debs .

the only issue i might see is if puppy can handle armel... but i remember before i switched to ubuntu (i know blasphemy :roll: ) that there was that t2 thing... so that doesn't seem like an issue either.

so in short i'm looking for steps in the right direction from the puppy folks and xda (will probably duplicate this post over there)

[Captivate General] damobster54:
Alright, well so far I have both because I wanted to try them both out and then sell the one I liked the least. I was hoping someone could help me make this decision. So far these are my observations with both of them.

Pros about the I9000:

I like the FFC.

Seems to have much more development work on it so far.

I'm able to get H on it, resulting a better signal wherever I go.

Cons about the I9000:

Unlocked of course.

Doesn't have the 850 H band which I don't like.

Case isn't as nice as the Captivates (feels and looks cheaper)

Gets hotter. I think part of it was from mimocan lag fix. (Seems to run cooler now)

Captivate has twice as much internal storage. 16gb vs. 8gb.

Basically I'm really hoping someone can find a way to unlock H on the captivate which would really hope reception in my area. But which would be the better phone in the long run?
[Captivate General] ag4vr:
The stock AT&T ROM on the Captivate doesn't differentiate between "3G" and "H". So if you're on AT&T you may be getting HSDPA but the phone will only show "3G".

longer than 3 feet you start to get pixelation from the line. add a coupler and youll probably bring down the 1080 signal to 480. jk, a little exaggeration but you will see the pixelation or artifacts with long cable and a coupler.

[EVO 4G Accessories] manooti:
im not talking about brand names as they all do the same.

but at lengths you will see pixelation.

"Typically, 1080p signal would mean 1920x1080 pixels refreshing 60 times per second. At this high rate of speed and large bandwidth of data, the impedance of many copper cables can cause signal loss at about 15 feet - which results in digital artifacts (sparkles), pixilation (tiling) and/or no picture (blue screen)."

quoted from audioholics, http://www.audioholics.com/education/cables/hdmi-fiber-optics-copper-cable-considerations

i have 2 HTPCs and 2 gaming pcs, all using hdmi and directly connected with 3ft and 6ft hdmi cables without a hdmi hub. made in china of course lol. and adding a coupler will definitely add to the artifacts or just Blue screen you. and the bigger the tv the more obvious the artifacts become. my gf bought me a 50 inch plasma and any pixelation at the slightest shows up. thats why i used short cables non branded. brand is just marketing gimmicks

On top of which feature-wise for the average user Android has moved ahead, making the switch to WinMo less appealing.
