inside mp3's (and wma files) there is data such as 'artist, album, track number, genre, notes' and more.

To see what i mean, do you have winamp on your PC? if so, open one of the mp3's, select it in the playlist on the right, and hit Alt+f3

This pops up a box that shows the tags for that track.

There are loadsssss of mp3 tag programs, and everyone youask will advise a different one, and since i dont use one, , i wont recommend one!
[HD2 General] andy_fozzy:
Ah ok, that kinda makes sense!

Shouldn't really have to piss around like this though.

Seriously thinking of going back to an iPhone now, and this is sad, as all other aspects of the iPhone are crap :D
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
yes u are :)
[HD2 General] andy_fozzy:
Says the man in Dublin :)
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
the man in dublin knows his way around the phone :P

knowing the song not playing in the right sequence has nothing to do with the phone and is rather an issue with bad mp3 naming :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HD2 General] smeddy:
I defend the OP to an extent, the mp3 playback is Sense is a bit shabby. I used (before Android) S2P player, as Sense is a lot worse experience than I used to get even on dumb-phones such as Sony Ericssons.
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
sorry but i never had a problem with properly named songs in albums :)

[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
Are you getting your mp3's from real sources or file sharing?

I get all my music from mp3va and I haven't had any problems with the sense music player.
[HD2 General] bigdonk:
i use this mp3 id3 tag editior, to fix up any misconfigurations in the id3 tag header...
[HD2 General] andy_fozzy:
Cool, thanks for that ;)
[HD2 General] andy_fozzy:
All my music comes from CD's.

My CD collection is the only music I like!

On a seperate note, the sound quality on the HD2 is STUNNING!
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
are you high? lol

everyone knows that its not :D

especially the loudspeaker and even the audio booster is ****ty enough
[HD2 General] hagba:
I second this the sound is amazing.
[HD2 General] hagba:
Use both the Football Aqualizer Fix and SRS WOW HD,and only than we can have a conversation.

EDIT.in SRS WOW HD in the settings select the Headphone option and NOT the Internal Speaker.

edit2.the Football Aqualizer Fix will keep the Audio Booster until your next Reset.
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
I'd be happy if someone fixed the gaps between tracks issue.
[HD2 General] hagba:
I would love to but cant since I have no such issue.
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
I'm happy for you LOL.
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
are you talking about the headphone quality or the speaker quality?

i have SRS WOW HD and it does make an improvement but at full volume it still makes my ears bleed from the screeching
[HD2 General] andy_fozzy:
Glad somebody agrees ;)

It sounds terrific in my car.

Loads better than the iPhone IMO.

I'm off to search for the above items!!
[HD2 General] hagba:
both,just use the Headphone option in the settings.
[HD2 General] hagba:
Do a search in this forum they are both here,Just in case you couldnt find them I can upload both CABs ,with these two apps. installed it can just blow up enythin out there.You can even give a big party with this Phone alone!!LOL.
[HD2 General] hagba:
HD2 and WM for that matter is all about Settings and CABs if you install the right CAB together with the right Settings,you will have one awsome device,that is the reason why the Custom ROMs perform better than the stock ones, since chefs know the CAB+Settings trick.

Yet again Im still on stock 1.66 ROM and one happy guy,so far, Cross fingers!!.
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
hey we all (99%) knew what we were buying :) most of us are gadget geeks that like to fiddle with out phones :D
[HD2 General] kupz:
In fairness to the OP this is a problem which annoyed me no end:

Andy - I'm guessing the music plays in the correct order on your pc? If not then there are no tags and you need to add them using one of the tagging softwares out there - there are tons as mentioned.

If it plays ok on your pc, what format of music are you trying to play? If its mp3 then its likely that the tags are in the wrong format, might just be a case of a quick conversion using one of the above mentioned softwares.

What happened to me was I used itunes to rip all my cds when i had an ipod and by default it created m4a files - the HD2 can play m4a files but for some REDICULOUS reason it can't read the tags (ARGH!)

So if you're trying to play anything other than mp3 then you have two options - either convert all your music to mp3 using one of the many converters out there (I recommend dBpoweramp) OR ditch the sense music player and go for something like nitrogen, which should do the job fine.

If anyone knows of any other solution I would be grateful to hear it. TBH I only became happy with the behaviour of the sense music player after moving over to the energy rom.

As for music quality I listen to everything from classical to dubstep using decent in-ear headphones and the quality is no worse than the ipod and i havnt got SRS either.

Sorry for the lengthy post - hope its helpful
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
well i have to say srs wow does make a diff...but you do have to do a bit of fiddling around
[HD2 General] Ouzo:
Good on you kupz, I suspect you hit on the real problem; most likely the OP has been using his library created by iTunes and, therefore, his toons are .m4a's. The only problem with converting your library to MP3s is that maintaining the same sound quality means having a larger file - over thousands of tracks this really adds up. HTC has had this problem for years on all of its Windows Mobile phones. Even low end Sony E phones can sort m4as in track order : (
[HD2 General] andy_fozzy:
Don't be sorry that's a great help ;)

My music is WMA files.

The CD's were ripped using Windows Media Player.

Luckily I haven't got that many CD's ripped, so converting shouldn't be a huge problem.

I've downloaded the Nitrogen player,and it's still happening.

Windows media player plays them in order, but crashes frequently between tracks!!!

Bloody typical or what :D

I've also installed the SRS WOW and it now sounds EVEN BETTER!!!!

Thanks for all your help peeps

okay, i got my sd card working and just need to update my hboot to get S-OFF, i have the spl-signed that i think will get it, and also got Flashrec, but.. idk how to change/update my hboot? i'm using a custom recovery image with villainrom 1.4, i almost have this rooting stuff down, but i got really confused trying to do this.. lol.. >.>;
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
Fkash you SPL via the update.zip method. Use the customer recovery to do so.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] factualpuddle:
just rename it update.zip and flash it in the recovery mode?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
Yes, if it has been made as an update.zip file. You can test but does it have a script inside it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] factualpuddle:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] factualpuddle:
a folder named com with a subfolder named google, and files CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
That's not an update.zip. What version hboot are you trying to flash too and if you have a link from where you got it from I can check it out.

Can you let me know why you are updating the hboot please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] factualpuddle:
i'm trying to get it to hboot with S-OFF so i can use fastboot oem eraseconfig to get adb back working, i got it here: spl-signed
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
Just checked, it does have an update script

write_hboot_image PACKAGE:hboot.img

You can use recovery to flash that file :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] factualpuddle:
okay! so just boot into recovery, power + home (I think?) haha, and just simply flash the zip?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
Have you not got a custom recovery installed yet that does nandroid backups? If not then get a custom recovery installed first. try in my sig below for the link.

Nope, however I can do ADB commands with S-ON. I use the unlocked SPL 1.76.2007.

any links to that? lol, or is this one unlocked? i guess i should have tried it... lol

Not too sure if this one is unlocked that you use. The one I use is in the 2.1 downgrade link in my sig. Possibly the same one not too sure.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] factualpuddle:
just tried, i think it's locked =/ got an error.. so will try the one in your sigg

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scholbert:
Hi,

got the same HBOOT and radio version on my T-mob G2:

SPL: HBOOT-1.76.0007

Rom: T-Mobile 2.1 OTA (Build 3.31.111.1)

Radio: 63.18.55.06MU_6.35.13.09

I grabbed the engineering bootloader (update-hero-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip) from the modaco forums. It's the same that theSpam points at.

Anyone tried the update.zip SD-card method using stock recovery?

Will i need to downgrade radio or ROM :confused:

Best regards,

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
Mine is the mondaco but just mirrored so I can find the links easier without bookmarking them. I add all my content into multi upload. To apply the HBoot update to the unlocked you will need to use custom recovery. You don't need to downgrade radio or ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
Sorry to go off-topic, but it looks like you have a unique radio. Is MU 13.09 a part of the T-Mobile 2.1 update?

Hello

I have a strange issue with my Milestone. I have installed Tigermame from the market. When i use my 16 gb sdcard i normally use the program just shuts down. But when i use anothersd card, the program runs fine. It seems like it might have problems writing a hidden folder and some text files to the sd card. Is there something i can do about it. Allmost every other apps that i bought, can write files to that sdcard
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ClausG76:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombdy:
Are you overclocking? If it is set too high, the phone will lag and freeze. 998400 Hz is the normal stock clock speed.

It could also be the HAVS. I had bad lag with first iteration of HAVS in version 4.1.2.0. I have read others have experienced the same. Try flashing version 4.1.8.0 bfs and see if that doesn't help.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
yea i have it happen less with Kings #6 but it still happens it just seems to take it a while its weird. At first i thought it might have something to do with all the new fun stuff that was recently introduced (HAVS BFQ BFS SVS) but someone said they are getting this with a stock kernel if this is true then i am at a loss for what it could be. i know i never got this issue until the above was introduced.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felacio:
Iqfd issues here as well. Sometimes simply killing all processes with SystemPanel works. Sometimes it doesn't so I have to reboot and pull the battery.

What is IQFD anyways??

I had a similar problem with random lag and other unexplanable problems when using any bfs kernel I tried. Finally came to the same conclusion that a lot of others have come to.

I'm getting a vibrant and I wanted to know if I can use roms that are made for galaxy s I9000, cuz basicly it's the same phone right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_wolf88:
No its not possible..

Basically Vibrant have different buttons, No front facing camera.. ect.. So that why it's not possible..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It is possible to an extent but it requires a developer to do some work to make it fully compatiable. Depending on what kind of ROM it is, it may flash Euro bands and may end up bricking your device if you aren't careful. All the Galaxy S phones are similar and follow the same /system/ format (not 100% but similar).

Tweaks and hacks will work but not always. Kind of like how RyanZA's was developed for the I9000 and yet it still worked for the Vibrant.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuckface1:
So i'm a very big fan of streaming music, rather than taking up a ton of space with music files on my phone. As such, i installed the grooveshark app (i'm a fan, idk about anybody else) and for some reason it would not let me log in (yes i hav the pro account). Slightly frustrated i gave up and installed the pandora app, i'm not a hater, i just prefer to be able to hear a specific song when i want, and to be able to skip more than 6 songs... Well all would be good, except pandora will immediately skip to the next song when i turn the screen off, or if i put it in my pocket, or it will stay on the song after i turn the screen off, and in my pocket, and then randomly skip. To make matters worse, once it starts, it doesn't stop, it'll make it though about 10 seconds of a song and then either pause and unpause at random intervals (up to 3 minutes of being paused or so) and then return to playing, or continue skipping. Once it hits that 6 song skip limit, it shows the toast about how you can only skip 6 songs, and then it doesn't go away, there is always another toast ready after the first disappears as if it is trying to skip that song constantly...

Additionally: Slacker Radio fails to log in as well.

In case it matters, i'm using KaosFroyo v31. Same issues whether i'm on wifi or 3g. Not sure if it's something about the pandora app, or the rom i'm using, or just the fact that i'm root, and pandora doesn't like that.

Any help would be appreciated

Aside from the streaming music issue's i'm a big fan of KaosFroyo... i did find a setting in pandora about keeping the screen on even when you turn it off (has a warning that it will drain battery life, and came auto checked) so turned that off to some success, and then if i turned the phone face down, or pulled it by the headphones, or shook it too hard, it skipped songs...

Naturally, I just made do, but I'm looking for an answer now. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? Yes, I have already searched to no avail. Also, with 2.1, when I would send a mass text to a group, it would be sent via email to the address linked to their facebook account. I solved this by wiping my phone and disabling facebook sync from the get-go, but would also like to see if anyone else had experienced this problem.
