So I was going through the marketplace and discovered this music player called powerAMP. It's THE best music player for Android! It has an equalizer, home and lock widgets, TRUE RANDOM music (one of my main complains from the stock music player) and it looks pretty cool... just thought I'd share it with you all.

Me too. My zune got fried at some point and i just added a 16Gig card to my Mytouch3g and used it as my Main Podcast/Music Player. Now with the Mytouch 4g and the car mount, there is no need to cary two devices, just your phone and Google Listen/Power Amp

About the player....THIS....IS....AWSOME!
I listen music on my phone in my car. As soon as I get in, plug the audio cable, the player kicks in automatically and resumes the song. Love the lock controls, too.
And btw the Equalizer and bass control makes my stereo louder and deeper. Love it
media player
I've been using MixZing and it seems pretty sweet.
been using winamp myself, but i'll see what this offers
btw one thing i missed about my dedicated music player (cowon D2) is that I could blindly tap on it a couple times to randomly go to the next track. Like the "Next" button is right on the edge of the player's screen so tappin that would go to the next song... with the phone however i gotta do the whole unlock screen thing of tapping a button, drag down to unlock THEN tap to go to the next song. Not as elegant as simply tapping a couple of times to go between songs which makes things bleh when doing hectic freeway driving and a song comes on that i don't wanna listen to
so if anyone found a fix to this then please feel free to share?

The speakers are cool. When me and my friends go camping we always use my phone to listen to music and its pretty loud. You can always set volume to your likings by using dsp manager.
I think the speakers are terrible. I'm trying not to make this the deciding factor of whether or I should keep the EVO 3D or return it.

Well in quite places is fine , anywhere else I found my iPhone more usefull, the og EVO had a better speaker
from my shooter rocking myns ROM
They're not bad, and they're not good. They're dead smack in the middle.
My speaker either got better with time, and or with custom roms, and because it sounds much much better now than when I got the phone. Music wise it also helps if you try turning on/off audio enhancements in the music player. Still not as good as my og evo, but not as horrible as when I first tried the phone.
Compared to the Hero that I had before this the speaker sounds like **** and won't even get to half the volume that the Hero would.
My wife still has a hero so I put the same MP3 file on each phone and played them. The Hero is easily twice as loud, twice as clear.
That's pretty sad since this is considered a high end phone and HTC puts a lousy speaker on it. I downloaded PowerAmp and it does increase the music play. In terms of ringer volume, I have yet to find a ringtone that's very loud.

Yes you are right. The speakers are crap. I tried the Volume+ app and it didn't do anything. I have the Rogers EVO 3D. I don't know if Rogers won't allow certain apps to work on their phones. I tried PowerAmp again and at first it sounded good, but now it's horrible. I'm not sure what to do. I want to use the EVO when I workout. I use the external speakers when I'm listening to music.
Any other suggestions? I still have time to return it.

if you use poweramp make sure switch equ to "phone speaker" for external sepaker and place something between you phone (speaker face down) and table so u have a little space to generate echo. It's much louder this way.
When I flashed CM7 (AOSP) all of sudden my speaker was just like the one on the OG Evo. With a touch of Dsp Manager for tweaks everything is nice and loud.

Rocky...thanx for the tip...just when I got virus eternity picture perfect...another one..
Let's make this the official thread to post first impressions of this phone.
Going to T-Mobile today I was pretty much dead set on getting the GS II. I was sure nothing would deter me. I walked in there and toyed with both phones and my opinions changed drastically. I was pretty disappointed with the resolution and cheap plastic build of the GS II. The screen is big and bright but the low res almost kills it IMO. The HTC Amaze has a build similar to the Sensation which means its one of the best designed phones on the market. In the hand the difference is night and day. The Amaze feels like a Mercedes and the GS II a Toyota Camry if you catch my drift.
I owned a Sensation for roughly a month when it first came out. I loved the phone except the lagginess and the unresponsive screen issues. If this phone doesn't have those issues I will be a VERY happy camper. Not to mention it has more ram, a bigger battery, and NFC. Oh, and I also pulled down 11Mbps on a Speedtest inside my house! Imagine if I'm out somewhere in the open and have full 4G signal! I'm really surprised by how good the data speeds are.
So far the phone is snappy but I'll see how it holds up. Coming from a Nexus S I'm very happy with this phone. The camera is great too with those two physical buttons. The audio during video recording is rubbish though just like all HTC phones.

Could it be possible that some dev might cook up a ROM which could improve the audio in any way?
so far I am very happy with mine. Battery life is good (i turned off 'tell htc', 'find my phone' and 'fast boot') and its making a little difference as far as less data being used at idle.
I have some slight screen bleed from the bottom buttons, but it doesnt bother me. As i stated in another thread, no phone is going to be perfect, but this is the closest I think any android phone has come.
I can't wait for a OTA update to restore wifi calling as i live in a fringe network area. but i'm confident it will come.
I'm loving the camera buttons, the call quality is great, and i got 13.1mbps down on campus today in san diego. F yea!
3 quick questions:
Is the speaker phone loud enough?
Any wifi-death grip issues?
How about LAG???

Actually, this is the same thing basically word for word that happened with me today. My wife was actually shocked (mouth dropped) when I asked him to grab me the Amaze instead of the SGS2.
I didn't realize this thing was out already. I LOVE my glacier for the trackpad and hard camera button. I like the sensation for the big-ass screen. Amaze might be almost perfect because of the extra ram.
I'll wait to pick one up until cm7 is out.

The speaker is louder than my Nexus S (which has fantastic speakers IMO) but the quality of the sound is a little lower.
Haven't experienced any death grip issues, but then again, I don't completely cover my phone with my hands when holding it.
Phone has been butter so far. Haven't seen any outstanding signs of lag yet.

Anyone here do some testing? Quadrant ran at 2213 and speed test averages around 5-6mbs (myTouch 4g ran around 3-4mbs) in my house
I just paid $615 for mine :X
Coming from Nexus One Dev model. this thing is amazing (pun maybe intended) No lag so far, good screen, speakers are nice and loud (haven't made a phone call yet referring to back speakers while using youtube / netflix ), Camera is very good, pictures almost perfect sharpness while moving (took a picture outside the passenger window while driving at 40mph, I wasn't driving )
I'm really going to miss the pouch that came with my N1 how ever :'(
No comment on battery life yet need a few more days.
Really disappointed in this USB wall plug charger... why can't they just come with a real wall charger not this fake charger thing... thankfully I have my N1 usb - micro usb cable and it works but some people may not have that and need to switch from wall outlet to computer a lot :/
Haven't had to much of a chance to play around with it to find any bugs but I'll have some free time tomorrow.

Hmm...with Google music and Spotify both working fine, I don't think its going to make that big of an impact.

Yeah, I'm thinking that Google Music will slowly transition into something like Spotify in the future. If HTC starts their own service, more power to them since it'll be more competition, which is always encouraged.
They can offer that they're the only ones with "Beat Audio" integrated with their service, but some of us know that Beats is just silly. :/

Still haven't gotten on the Spotify craze yet here. Pandora is perfect for me. Which is why I stated to begin with if Spotify can come into Pandora's market then HTC sure can come up with their own as well and do just fine.

I didn't think I would enjoy Spotify this much. I literally cannot stop playing music since I started the service. I usually buy my albums but with Spotify, it allows me to listen to all those songs without buying. I usually run with a playlist that I make and it's happy tunes from there. lol.

I have recently started using my car dock, initially I was running stock gb 2.3.4 and i liked the layout of the app (i.e music was opened in a full screen mode) but now I have changed back to cm and can't find a cardock app that has this function (everything I have seen just opens the music app on the phone). Is there anyways to replicate the 2.3.4 stock version of the car dock app?
any help would be greatly appreciated
If you're on CM, you can use Car Home from Google. It's pretty much identical.

Yuck! That thing is ugly.
How can you not take advantage of the awesomely accurate speedometer feature in Car Home Ultra?
I have been using it for a couple of months and really like it. I use Mort Player for MP3s and I can flip back to the full-screen for it in one tap to do whatever. Also, it has play/pause, back and forward buttons you can put on a screen for control.
Try it out it is free (but I got the license because we should support good devs).

Actually, I was quite surprised at how inaccurate my car's speedometer is (and that of every one I have driven since I got my phone.) The GPS-based speed is much more accurate (ask a scientist) and I found that I had been cheating myself unnecessarily.
When I thought I was doing 80 I was actually only doing 76. So I have learned to ignore the car and trust the phone ... and drive FASTER!!!
All I have heard about for years is iPhones blah blah blah. Well, as an avid enjoyer of this digital era we are in I decided to try out an iPhone 4s a few weeks ago.
I used a white 16gb and used it solely. Overall it is a nice phone. Wait? Huh? Yeah I said it. But there a re many reasons I just couldn't keep it...I'm android. I'm not an iPhone guy.
Pros.
Always good call quality
Speaker is loud and clear
Can send a full recorded video to any other iPhone and send any recorded video to another phone (although it compresses the hell out of it...it does send)
Camera, sharp fast clear.
Screen quality (yes its so small)
Battery life ( I could avg 5-6 hours usage time solely on 3g no wifi one days use)
Cons
Little bitty display
Could not Bluetooth pics to my wife's nexus.
No t9 dialer (but found an app)
No sextube app! Lol
0 3rd party apps (i know, common knowledge but crap)
Keyboard was...difficult. but I'm sure with tiny fingers manageable.
Not hardly any customization. Open it up from box. Turn on. Use it. Enjoy kind of feeling.
I updated it to ios6 and well...it looked almost identical to ios5. It just felt old and dated. Lost google maps too.
Basically I read a lot of people wanting to hang themselves with a charger at the thought of owning an iPhone. I tried it and while I don't want to chop my fingers off it wasn't a miserable experience. There were some perks I would like to see in android.
Being able to send any video and edit video on the fly was a plus.
Other than that I just missed every android phone I had used up until then. Some people love that phone and that's cool. I just wanted to share my take on it.
It's deffinantly technology and the os to me has,been,surpassed by jellybean. In all areas. So as far as don't knock it til you try it goes? I did. And coukdnt be happier selling that **** and getting back to my android powered devices.
I guess it's nice to see something objective and mature on the site.
Personally, the only thing that really, really, REALLY keeps me far away from any Apple device is the requirement that I use an iTunes account. I don't want to touch iTunes at all. You couldn't make me touch it with a ten foot pole.
You can edit videos just fine on Android, and as far as sending them, forget compression, upload it to dropbox and text the link to ur friends for download. This is way better because it'll be higher quality.
Or you could upload straight to YouTube, or Picasa, or send in an email, I'm not seeing the difficulty here.

All I have heard about for years is iPhones blah blah blah. Well, as an avid enjoyer of this digital era we are in I decided to try out an iPhone 4s a few weeks ago.
I used a white 16gb and used it solely. Overall it is a nice phone. Wait? Huh? Yeah I said it. But there a re many reasons I just couldn't keep it...I'm android. I'm not an iPhone guy.
Pros.
Always good call quality
Speaker is loud and clear
Can send a full recorded video to any other iPhone and send any recorded video to another phone (although it compresses the hell out of it...it does send)
Camera, sharp fast clear.
Screen quality (yes its so small)
Battery life ( I could avg 5-6 hours usage time solely on 3g no wifi one days use)
Cons
Little bitty display

Not to sound like a douche but I think just about every smart phone has all those pros.
+1 very mature post.
I've stayed away from iPhone ever since I traded in my iPhone 4 for the inc2 and never looked back. As op stated, the ios is getting old fast. With hardly any major updates besides copying androids pull down notifications and now a bigger yet awkward resolution screen.
IPhone is a great phone for someone like my elderly mother, or a teenage girl. But not for me

That's why I am saying that I wish android could make a change and make it to where android could recognize another android device and send a full hd video you just recorded to another android device. Only thing I wish I had still. Why would you want to wait for a 30 sec hd video you upload, then send the link when you could have just sent it as an mms. That's a small gripe but an iPhone can send a full hd video to another iPhone without compressing it. It shows up crystal clear. Doesn't take a long time. Not arguing, I know there are other ways. I just prefer the simplest method.

Never noticed that. I sent a few 10 to 15 sec vids back and forth without any issues to my sister-in-law. Maybe that's for a larger video dunno. Don't have the phone anymore.
Last gripe was iTunes. That store is very confusing to navigate. Not as intuitive as play store with a search at the top.

That is a huge downside to the iPhone, can't download apps over like 5 mb, music, videos, or really anything else on 3g.

I've been saying this for a while. Android needs an iMessage competitor because quite frankly, iMessage is genius. Android also needs better battery life and I was glad to hear that 4.2 or whatever will have improvements but I was sad to see nothing about a universal messaging app. There's 4 messaging apps for gods sake.

It needs to be integrated into the messaging app like iMessage and also the default way to send messages to other phones, again like iMessage

Yeah if they could incorporate it into the SMS app and have it use phone numbers it would be a competitor.

They need to make it better. It hasn't really changed it all and it could use some features like:
-integration into one app(sms/mms/gtalk/google+)
-integration of phone number so it'll know who your texting and make it free
-full Emoji support. (4.1 only has black and white android emojis)
-more
Gtalk is nice but, it lacks features.

Apps over somewhere around 20 mb require WiFi, ill have to double check the exact size limit.
You can download music videos and other files without that limit. You can also stream media as long as you want.

OP you did a nice job with the post I think. I agree with you. I really love Android, and it all depends on what the user needs. I'm pretty hardcore into Android, I also have a 4S I carry next to my rezound. They each have their strong points. My iPhone is bone stock and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah I wasn't trying to dog anything. Just bring up some of my interpretations.
If gtalk could check the number and allow mms they could have imessage by the balls imo
emmhmm androids messaging apps (all of them) need to be completely overhauled. basically the only thing I prefer on iOS.
