And still.. installed Nova Launcher after a week or two with sense (this vertical scrolling is awful, made me remember why I flashed custom rom immediately on my old HTC). Lost some features but the advantages that I got, mainly improved battery life (which by the way sucks when the mobile data is turned on), cant let me go back to sense. Moreover, I cant wait for the fully working recovery, so we can cyanogen this beast :cowboy:

That's odd, I'm getting phenomenal battery life and I have data on all day switching between 3g and 4g. But then again I'm a fairly light user.

at first, I thought it was the opposite fact, lol my bad.

more than 18+ hours? That's surely amazing, I'll get my desire 601 on monday.

Hopefully htc will release the kernel source code before monday.. :D lol

I for one am really happy with my purchase. Definitely a sweet phone.

Just got this cover and while not the best it was cut to perfection and blends the best of both worlds: soft gel under and hard metal outer. Adds a little bulk to the extreme thinness of this phone (for me it was hard to even hold without a case) Just thought I'd share

I'm running a sense 5 ROM on my OneSV at the moment, it's sweet, I think she'll really enjoy the upgrade from the old OneV....

No Gapless Playback of music

I got the HTC Desire 601 yesterday. I was very disappointed to find out that it plays music with gaps between the tracks. Google solved this longtime problem with Android 4.1. I have two other phones, Galaxy S2 and Huawei P1, both with Android 4.1 and both play music gapless. Why is the HTC Desire 601, that comes with Android 4.2,2, incapable of gapless playback? Is HTC using outdated libraries in their builds? I wish there was Google Edition ROM for this phone.

@cheena

Did you transfer the music from a different device?

Are the stored in phone storage or external storage?

It's very possible that you need to save all the music that's on your sdcard to the pc, then allow your new phone to format the sdcard then replace the music files back to the sdcard.....

Just brainstorming

Thanks, I searched around, and apparently, it's the same problem on other HTC devices, including HTC One. The only HTC device that plays albums properly is HTC One Google Edition. So obviously, it's something that HTC does.

From my experience, when Google fixed the gapless issue on on Android 4.1, Google Play Music, as well as other music players that relied on the Android playback engine, all started playing music gapless. On the Desire 601, if you use Google Play Music, or if you use the HTC provided player, both play albums with gaps.
