Bug: music player volume disabled when navigating ...

First of all, again, much kudos to Nokia for releasing free voice navigation!!
One feature I like a lot about the navigation function is that I can listen to music (e.g. while cycling) and still get voice directions. However I've experienced the following bug with Maps v3.03 10wk01 b05 and Music Player (firmware v40.0.5): when voice navigation is on, I cannot change the volume of the music player any more. In other words, when the Maps application is in the foreground, acting on the volume rocker will adjust the volume of voice navigation, as expected. However, when Maps is in the background and the music player is in the foreground, acting on the volume rocker has no effect (not even on the navigation voice volume).
Not sure this is a bug of Maps, but it looks like having navigation on disables volume control on the music player.
Does this happen to you too?

On my E71 I cannot separately control the volume for Music Player and Maps. This is an annoyance when driving with the Bluetooth connection to the car stereo.

SUCH LOW MUSIC PLAYER VOLUME FOR SUCH A COSTLY PHO...

I have recently bought an N95 8GB.Well the phone seems ok but I simply do not understand why the volume of the Music player in the headset is at such a low level?I also own an N91 8gb & comparing the music player quality,all of you here can understand the vast difference between them.I understand that N91 is a music player alright,but isnt the N95 8GB supposed to be a feature-rich multimedia phone (AS NOKIA ADVERTISES??).Such a bad music player volume for such a costly phone?

I'm not suggesting you to do anything
I was just trying to explain why the volume levels have been dropping. In some cases it may be that the same volume levels are set for devices globally.
I'm not sure if India has adopted the same recommendation for output audio pressure as in Europe, so I don't know if it's mandatory in India.
The EU recommendation is supposed to be in line with recommendations from health experts.
SEE HERE:
http://www.luxuryhousingtrends.com/archives/2007/10/noise_canceling.php
Exposure to high audio levels of more than 45 min. per day could result in temporary loss hearing to even permanent damage (depending on how loud the volume is). This is of course not new.
The best thing you could do to enjoy the music yet at the same time protect your ears is:
a) Buy a set of active noise canceling headphones.
b) Buy a set of in-ear headphones and use foam pads (like the Sure e2, e3, e5 series or other brands)
c) Buy a set of protective headphones. The type construction workers use. Basically you put your Nokia headphones then you put the protective headgear on top of them. The protective headgear blocks the outside noise.
http://www.precision-sports.com/peltor_elect.htm
Of course there are also drawbacks to blocking outside noise.
If you are walking you may not hear cars or other hazards. And you should never drive with headphones anyway, it's way too dangerous as you can't hear other cars, ambulances, etc.

Nokia X6 Music Player volume pretty low !!

Hey guys
Got a Nokia X6 about 3 weeks ago................................and to be frank im not really satisfied with the music players volume..........my earlier phone was nokia 5320 xm and dats a pretty low end model compared to the X6 but they both seem to have pretty same volume levels .........I got an n81 also and the volume level in dat is pretty high compared to the X6 though it was bought long time ago ............Whats the reason !?!? and is there anyways to enhance the volume level !??!
Thanks

yes the N81 saw the loudest nokia phone ive had and one of the best,there is no way to increase the volume ,it does seem to be across the board with all music phones with lower volume ,its been mentioned here e few times
just make sure that you have it set to highest and use the volume toggle when the player is in use
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

N95-1 Music player Volume control problems

I muted the music player recently by turning the volume all the way down via the side volume controls and now I'm unable to turn the volume back on or up. The up controls on the side of the phone seem to work, ie feel the click of the switch operate, but nothing happens? I'm able to listen through the headset HS-45 that comes with the phone but have no control over the phone/music/video via the AD-43 in either the Music or Video modes?. Haven't yet tried the phone functions via headset! can somebody throw some light onto these issue's - phone has been its firmware recently updated to the latest version via the Nokia web site without any problems in a hope of rectifying these issue's but no luck.

Hi
I have a similar problem. Recently upgraded to V21.
Stick with me here...
Firstly I noticed the volume keys on the side of the phone didn't work; couldn't turn music up/down nor did they work when I was on a call. The only way to adjust in call volume was to use the centre navi key.
Secondly; whenever this happens I also notice when the keys are locked that the message "Press Unlock to activate keypad" keeps appears on the screen without me pressing anything.
Finally this causes a battery drain. Massively increasing the power usage from 0.2w to well over 1w
This happens intermittently i.e. cant adjust volume for about a day then everything is fine again.
Yesterday I also noticed that when the above happens the music controls (multimedia keys) when the slider is down dont work, they dont pause, play, stop, fwd/rwd or launch the music player.
Any ideas?

Why does my HP laptop download all my music windows media player, HP connected music player, and itunes, when I only open it in itunes?

My HP lap top downloads all my music to the windows media player, my itunes, as well as HP connected. Is this taking up 3 times the space on my computer as it would if it only just used one? I only want music on my itunes, but it puts it in all 3.

when I go to the youtube, the WMP pauses the music by itself, and when I close the youtube, the WMP resumes the music byt itself!

My music drops volume level when I get a notification, and won't return to the volume level it was set at until I get another notification

When ever I get notification from fb/messenger/emails, my music volume lowers by some margin, and will not return to the set level until I receive another notification. I try attempting to turn it up but the volume is at its highest limit.
How can this be fixed? Is anyone else having this problem?

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking theDevices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

Ios 5.1 issue - why have the music controls been disabled when iphone is docked?

I just updated my iphone 4s yesterday, and immediately I have a huge problem.
When I dock the phone in my car (using a Denison dock) OR connect it via bluetooth to my car stereo, all of the music controls are locked!
The Music App becomes a white screen with "device connected" written on it, and there is no way for me to play/pause/skip/browse music on the handset.
Even double-clicking the home button, the audio controls are greyed-out and don't function.
I am furious about this, why break something that was working perfectly before? It's not for safety reasons because the iphone is happy for any other app to be used while docked. I use my iphone in the car all the time, and it is utterly USELESS if I can't use the Music app normally.
I have tested with docks at home, and this issue seems to occur only when the connected device can also control the iphone. I need to stress that no car controls can allow easy use of the Music app - it means you have to take the device off the dock to make any changes in what you're listening to.
PLEASE can this go back to the way it was!?

Found another post with a similar issue after upgrading to ios 5 and this worked for him, I might try this tonight and will re-post if it worked for ios 5.1:
1)Connect phone
2)Hightlight your phone on the left side of the iTunes window
3)Click on the music tab towards the top middle of the iTunes window
4)Uncheck "sync music"
5) Click "Apply" down on the bottom right At either this step or the preceding step you might get a
pop up box that says "you have made changes" or something like that, click okay or apply.
6)After this is finished, check to make sure there is no music left on your iPhone by double clicking on your
iPhone in the left hand pane of iTunes and then click on "music" under your iPhone
7)If there is no music on your iPhone, then recheck the "sync music" and then click "apply" down in the
bottom righ.
8)If you have a lot of music it will take hours to sync, but when finished your Dock accesorries should work again.

N97 V2 music player has more bugs than a hundred y...

My problem is back!
This is what I have done in the past hour.
Exported my contacts to vcf onto memory card. Removed the card.
*#7370# - hard reset
Went through all that... Then remembered I hadn't wiped mass storage.
Wiped mass storage (Which it kept complaining it couldn't do until I removed all the default active apps on the front screen). After removing them it eventually formatted it
*#7370# - hard reset
Let it get settled...
Connected to USB, did a firmware update check. 2.00.19, no update available. Disconnected USB.
Removed all the front screen **bleep**, added shortcut 2, put my normal shortcuts onto it.
Added my wifi destination
Opened the browser, went to google.co.uk via my wifi, added that as bookmark
Put the memory card back in (there are no apps on it, I never got round to using it for anything).
Imported my contacts back from the memory card.
Went into music player, zero tracks shown. Good.
Connected USB, started Nokia Music PC application (latest version, had checked). Right clicked on one album 13 tracks.
Let it send them over to the N97.
Disconnected phone. Started N97's music player. It says music library corrupt, scanning... Says 13 tracks found.
Artists shows one artist, 13 tracks. Albums shows 1 album. All looks good.
Go into the album, pick on a track, starts playing.
Volume control does nothing. Touch volume control does nothing. Headset remote control, volume, forward and reverse do nothing. Touch screen pause/play forward and reverse do work, but there is no way to control volume.
I've screwed up this music player app before the Nokia system has even got round to sending me the Welcome text message (which I have seen too many times!).
Okay, I'm going to write the next bit line by line as I do it... So bear with me... It's step by step. You never know, it might help anyone that gives a damn (Nokia hopefully), fix it!
*#7780# - soft reset
Front screen now just shows shortcuts1 and 2, but the shortcuts themselves have switched back to Nokia's defaults.
Music player volume now works!
Connect to USB, send another mp3 album. PC app says (and shows on the %age bar) transferring 5 tracks. Album has 18. Nokia Music system tray icon says complete after 5, but the little arrows shows things are still being transferred. Waited for them to finish. Click the N97 icon and it's showing both albums, with all 18 tracks the second one really does have.
Disconnect USB
Go into Music library on N97, no auto refresh message. Showing only the original album with 13 tracks.
"Options\refresh library" nothing shows as scanning, just appear straight back at the artist,album,playlist option screen. Albums still shows just the first one.
Option\music library details says 13 tracks
Playback and volume still work.
Using the file manager, mass storage, music there's my 2nd artist, the album, and all the mp3 files. I can click them and play them. Volume still works.
Select original (found) album, select delete. Everything shows 0, even though 2nd album is there in the mass memory, file mgr shows it. First artist and albums folders are still there, but empty (Nice house keeping Nokia).
Reconnect USB, Nokia Music just shows the "invisible" 2nd album, and will play it.
Pick a 3rd album of 11 tracks... Send that to N97.. No progress bar or anything shown, just wait for the arrows to stop flashing and then confirm N97 is showing two albums (the invisible on and new one) on the PC app.
Disconnect USB.
Back on the N97... Apps, Music.. Says Music Library 11 songs (that's the 3rd album)... Go into it..
Albums (no songs)
All songs (no songs)
Artists: The artist from 3rd album is shown... 11 songs!
Click it... Shows the album name, 11 songs.
Click the album, and click the first track to play it... Long delay of a few seconds...
Starts playing... Volume not working again!
Try refresh library... again, nothing, no progress bar...
No change, no volume control.
Now here's the really weird bit... If I go and find the mp3 file on the mass storage, and play it from there, volume control works! Come back through the music play app, play the same track, volume won't work.
*#7780# - soft reset
Welcome message, yeah yeah... Ooooh, very fast confirmation text message...
Apps, Music, Music Library (11 songs), go into that, click Albums.... "Cannot perform whilst USB connected" **bleep**?I disconnected that ages ago when i said I did. After that every attempt to go into Albums dumps me back to the Music app showing "Last player - blank" "Music Library 11" etc etc...
Exit all the way out and try to go back in...Artists does the "USB connected" error. Albums just dumps me out. Playlists says "File corrupt". All songs say "(no songs)". Podcasts and Genres say "USB connected", composers "General system error" and after that I get a couple of other system errors from other options and then it just dumps me back out.
*#7780# - soft reset
Ovi welcome... blah blah...
Apps, music, music library (11 songs), go into it, option\refresh... Ooooh, something happens, a progress bar! 18 files added! That's 3rd album...
Albums show both... Artists show both
Pick one for playback... Volume control is back!
Right... Time to try a different tack...
Connect USB, mass storage mode this time (all previous attempts have been PC suite mode).
Create a now folder in music for the artist name (as stored in ID3 tag), create subfolder in that for the Album name (as stored in ID3). Copy mp3 files.
Eject USB device, wait for windows to confirm... It does.
Disconnect USB cable.
App\music\Music Library (29 songs - Thats the two previous albums). Go into it, previous tracks shown, playback/volume okay.
Refresh library works again... Now 3 albums, volume works.
Back to USB (mass storage mode).
This time deliberately doing the storage structure wrong... \music\albumname\mp3s (normally \music\artist\albumname\mp3s).
Music library still showing the 48 tracks from the first 3 albums... Seems to open a bit slower... Still works though.
Refresh library... 13 files added...
4 albums... All working...
Looking with file mgr from badly arranged folder is still as I made it... I guess the Nokia Music PC app creates the tree format, and the N97 doesn't actually need it.
Okay, proof of pudding test...
Connect via USB (mass storage).
Delete the album I created with the mangled folder structure.
Copy 20 folders of mp3 albums across using just windows file manager to the mass storage drive's music folder.
Eject USB storage device from windows....
Oh... Up until now I was almost certain I would be able to use N97 as an MP3 player as long as I avoided the Nokia Music PC app...
Apps\Music\music library shows 61 songs, which is what it had...
Go into it, click albums and I'm getting the USB device connected message. It's not, and the icon isn't even showing on the phone, so I can't go into the player to see if volume works.
Refresh isn't displaying anything, or doing anything I can see. Playlists say the file is corrupt...
*#7780# - Soft reset
Apps\Music\music library (61 songs).. go in, "Repairing corrupted library. Searching for music and podcasts"
After a little while... 2 hundred and something found...
Yup, all there...
Guess what...
Volume control is screwed again!
Manually telling it to scan for new tracks doesn't do anything.
*#7780# - Soft reset
Apps\Music\music library (276 songs)... Go in "Repairing corrupted library....."
2 seconds later "Search complete 0 file(s) added"
All albums there, still no volume control.
Okay, that enough... No more...
Hopefully that is enough to give Nokia a clue as to what is wrong, and may I just make a slight suggestion.
TEST WITH MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN TRACKS YOU **^(*&)(*)(*(*£$%^*(#!
I'm off to buy a 7lb club hammer.

Last night I had a thought...
I wondered if the N97's Music player was getting upset when scanning my music because I had the jpg of the album cover in the folder with it (I tend to do that). As I hadn't bothered reloading any music since my last hard reset I thought I would give it a try.
I removed all non-mp3 files from my music folders.
Connected N97 in PC Suite mode
Started Nokia Music PC app and transferred one album. Let it finish, closed the PC Nokia Music app, gave it a few seconds to settle, disconnected the N97 and had a look.
It appeared in the music player and worked.
Ooooh, right, in for a penny, in for a pound as they say... I connected it back up and sent over another 6 albums. Again closed the Nokia Music app... Waited a few seconds and disconnected the N97.
Went and had a look... "Library corrupt, scanning.... blah blah"... Oh dear, here we go again. But no, a progress bar actually appeared, and after a minute it said "0 file(s) added", but they were all there. All the album art appeared (I'd already embedded that in the mp3 files days ago). All the albums, all the music.
They played, and the volume worked!
Yay! Thinks me... Solved... And goes to bed a happy man.
I set my alarm (on the phone) for the morning and turn the phone off so nobody can phone me before my alarm (which really screws up my sleep!).
This morning the alarm goes off.
I hit stop. It asks if I want to turn the phone on, I say yes.
It asks for my lock code (which I have enabled). I enter it. It says code correct.
Flash of white on the screen... and it asks for my lock code again, which I enter... It says correct again.
This time I get the Nokia tune.
It comes up to the normal front screen, jumps itself onto the application screen, throws up a system error and reboots.
It comes back up (without asking for a pin) and this time settles at the front screen looking for all the world like a working phone... A text message arrives to prove at least that's working.
Hmmm... I wonder about my music...
Well it's all there... But guess what... Volume control doesn't work again!
Oh and clicking "Podcasts", of which I have zero, still produces, and has always produced (even straight after a hard reset), the message "Out of memory, please remove something"... Pressing it again produces "System Error". After that nothing in the Music Library menu works, all produce "System Error". You have to close it and restart to get anything in Music Library to "work".

Nokia xm 5800 music player "not supported"

Hi everyone,
I just updated my music player yesterday and when I tried to open it on my phone, it wouldn't even open. When I tried to open it from the gallery, it shows "Gallery: feature not supported". I tried to click "options" but that wouldn't open either. However it still shows up on the Nokia Music Player on my PC. And I could still hear my songs by setting my alarm tone. I've tried taking out the battery & SIM card, but still no results. I would not prefer to re-transfer my music since I programmed a lot of information in them and it would take me hours to type them in again.
Thanks!
Solved!

Never mind! The problem has been resolved by a hard reset: *#7370#

6300 - how to stop autostart of music player on Bl...

Hi,
Since a few weeks I'm using a Nokia 6300. A few days ago a bought a Jabra BT8040. Pairing with two different phones is a bless, but ... the 6300 has a nasty habbit of automatically starting the music player and playing music thru the earpiece. I have a similar problem with my Parrot MK6100, but this is an ad-hoc problem.
Back to the Jabra: The device has been paired and set to connect without confirmation. Everything is fine. Now I disconnect by turning off the earpiece or by walking out of range from my phone. As soon as the Jabra autoconnects again, the pairing confirmation is displayed, the message disappearsand the date and time starts showing up. So far so good, but now the songtitle that the music player starts is shown above the date and the music can be heared from the earpiece.
I've tried almost everything and read the complete manual and FAQ's to stop the autostart of the musicplayer, but I can't find the answer to my problem and any attempt so far has been futile.
Who's is smart enough to come up with the correct answer?
Thanks in advance!!!
Message Edited by jevis on 29-Jul-2008 09:24 PM

To solve the problem using BT8040, you need to pair it in the special music pairing mode. It can be found the BT8040 manual, under troubleshooting and faq.
Below is the excerpt:
The music player starts playing when connecting to the
headset.Some phones may start the music player once it connects to the headset. Re-pair your headset to the device in order to avoid this behaviour.
1. Make sure the headset is off
2. Press and hold the answer / end button for approx 5 sec until the light turns solid blue
3. Continue press and hold the answer / end button until the solid blue light turns off
4. Continue press and hold until a solid purple light turns on
Go through the regular steps in paring the headset to a Bluetooth device.

Music player stays at Refresh: Added 0 files forev...

I'm running the latest firmware for the phone, thought it probably isn't a firmware problem, since I was able to refresh music a while ago, on the same firmware.
Anyway, just as the title says, the music player is stuck when trying to add new files. I've left it overnight, and there was no progress. I removed the private directory completely, but the problem still persists.
Anyway to fix this?

Just wanted to say thanks for the bits and pieces in this thread. They put me on the right track.
I was under the mistaken impression that the reason my N95 8gb spent all night refreshing without getting anywhere was because I had too many songs on there. It turns out that this is incorrect.
What I did have were a lot of songs that it refused to play. I had attempted to encode them all to AAC low-complexity profile, but something was amiss.
I went through my 1200 songs and found all the ones that didn't play, and made an interesting discovery: there were 3 encoders that had been used to create my library - (various versions of) itunes/quicktime, FAAC 0.24, and LAVF. All of the itunes and FAAC tracks played just fine. All of the LAVF tracks would not play.
I used itunes to re-encode all of the tracks originally encoded by LAVF, then deleted everything on my N95. I then copied everything back across in 5-6 stages (just to narrow down the scope of any badness that might happen). When the phone did refresh after each copy, it took 2-3 minutes and then finished.
I now have 1300 songs (all encoded using itunes or FAAC) on my N95 and it's happy and I'm happy.
Incidentally I had similar issues with my Sony Ericsson K610i with FAAC 0.25. I haven't bothered to check whether or not that version breaks my N95.
I also took the opportunity to update all my album art (since the N95 player doesn't give you an album name?!?). That took a bit of fiddling, since manually entered album art would appear but itunes-auto-aquired art would not. I discovered that this is because itunes now keeps its own separate art library. To get it into individual files for the N95, itunes_insert_albumart at http://mysite.verizon.net/teridon/itunesscripts/index.html works a treat.
Joe.
