[Q] Does stock music player require data connection? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The stock music player on my phone has been freezing on me lately. After playing around with different settings I realized that it only freezes when I have the data network disconnected ("Use Packet Data" option unchecked).
Why does stock music player require data connection? All my music is saved on my sd card. Am I missing something?
ROM: Trigger 3.0.1
Kernel: Overstock 2.4.1
Phone: SGH-T959

the STOCK? its doing that? Uninstall it, find a ROM and take its music.apk from system/app and put it in yours.

Nevermind I just tried it again & it totally worked without the data connection even though I had previously replicated the freeze at least 3 times.
It must be something else. It use to work fine with no problems, but I also added a couple of profiles in setcpu I'll play around with those profiles to see if I can replicate the freezing.

Now I can't replicate the freezes at all. Don't know what's going on.

[Q] EB01 - Bluetooth issues?

My car, 07 Acura TL Type S has always synced via bluetooth for handsfree with my Fascinate until I loaded EB01, Anyone else having this issue? I put the phone in visible mode and the car should find it. It does not. When I scan with the phone for bluetooth connections, it finds the car but the car does not allow you to initiate bluetooth connections from the phone.
Mine had no issues with the car, I just had to re-type in the code to pair them. However my phone did ask to do so.

Welp
I used my wife's phone which is a HTC EVO and it connected to my car's bluetooth without a hitch. Soooo, I went reloaded the EB01 ROM and Radio and yes I wiped the data and cleared the cache. Tried to connect MY phone again and I had NO luck. Should I order yet another phone? This is my 2nd fascinate. The previous one connected to my car's bluetooth just fine using EB01 but the vibrate motor worked only when it wanted to. One thing I must note, the bluetooth on my new phone connected to my mac book pro just fine. I was able to transfer files from the mac to the phone via bluetooth.
Keith7120- did you restore the system settings using an application like titanium backup after flashing eb01? I had some problems with Bluetooth after doing that on DL30.

I'm having Bluetooth issues as well...my phone connects fine, but after hanging up a call something happens where it drops the connection and the only way to get it back is to turn off bluetooth on the phone and turn the stereo off, then turn bluetooth back on the phone and then turn the stereo back on. Even though the connection gets dumped the stereo is not recognizing it.
When streaming music or podcasts the behavior is that the phone is streaming, a call is placed (or comes in) which pauses the stream and then when the call has ended the stream should resume. In my case I get the dreaded "force close" vibrate series (vibrate, pause, then 2 vibrates) but I never get a force close message. The content that was streaming attempts to stream and then stops and the connection is gone at that point.
I'm very frustrated at this point as I have taken the time to reinstall everything from scratch, wiping the phone to factory, deleting dalvik cache, regular cache, wiping, etc. from recovery. It worked last night in testing and it worked initially this morning. And then a little later this morning it went back to not working.

Yes i did restore the system settings using Titanium coming from DL30. How do i skip that part during the restore?. I suppose i can figure that out within Titanium. Reset phone, wipe, then re-flash EB01 ROM and Radio. Restore but do not restore system settings. I will give it a shot. Thanks!
Bluetooth issue SOLVED!

Thanks for that idea, I reflashed my phone and I did NOT auto restore system settings using Titanium and Walla! I have working bluetooth in my car again. The steps I took were:
1. wiped phone/factory reset
2. re-flashed the EB01 modem
3 re-installed/flashed the EB01 ROM
4. once booted up, headed right for the car to pair bluetooth(worked!)
5. restored apps one by one through titanium.
6. went back to the car to see if the bluetooth worked (it did)
7. Issue SOLVED
what did you leave out when you retored all of you apps? did you leave out all system data?
i was having the same issue, tried above and seems like its all fixed up now, appreciate the help
I'm running sc2.7.1 (based on eb01/eb16) and my bt works fine except that it will not connect to my headset automatically. I have to go into settings...etc then click on the headset to get it to connect. It should poll for paired headsets and connect automatically if one is available but it doesn't. It stays connected until the headset it turned off with no problems though.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Not a deal-breaker, just a minor annoyance.

[Q] BlueTooth and Wifi settings interference

Has anyone noticed the following ?
a) Turning on / off bluetooth affects the WiFi connection including sometimes disconnecting the WiFi (when BT is being turned off i.e.).
I use BT to connect with the gtab to my samsung and transfer files etc. When o go to disconnect, the wifi connection has also dissapeared.
b) As a side issue, the Market app kept force closing when launching it, when i changed to went to a different location and it connected up with the WiFi connection there. The Market app was active at first location before i left. Haven't had a chance to reproduce and check the exact scenarios yet.
Have stock Froyo (3389) with Enhancement 3.1.4b (Market app).
i suggest going to custom rom.
i had dropping wifi issues and those fc issues but it was due to a poorly made rom brillant corners and since theres no support i gave up on it
other froyo roms like beastly worked great. didnt drop conenctions

Just curious as to where you got stock 3389 from? It wasn't even released as an OTA update as far as I know. if you prefer stock, then 3588 or 4349 are the most used versions. Have you made any other mods yet? CWM, market fix, etc? If not, then using stock recovery, you can flash either of the stock roms. See Goodintentions "Gtablet for dummies" page for links to the images, and instructions on how to flash using stock recovery.
I, too, have the same problem. On my first mod TnT Harmony 1.2 and now with Caulkin's G-Tab 1.1 I have a problem with bluetooth causing interference with wifi. I am using the BlutO keyboard along with "Bluetooth Easy Connect" in order to get it to actually connect. However, on both mod's the effect is the same, as soon as I turn off the bluetooth my wifi stays connected. I really like Caulkin's G-Tab it is amazingly fast and would prefer to stay there but would move to another one if a different mod would solve this problem. Any suggestions?
Oops must have been typing the rdp port too many times that day. Sorry its 3588.

I didnt want to take a chance with any particular complete rom replacement, thats why used the 'enhancement' pack which basically provided the speedup with market and still the std tnt ui.
Followup, yesterday I had to rebuild the 'bricked' gtab which was suffered from fc's just as I started to give demos :-((
So mucho thanks to the viewsonic for dummies site for collecting all the info in such an easy to read format
I did code red procedure and did the bocksize change which I had not had to do first time. Noticed a speed up in the stock (quadrant - 1743) just by doing a wipe and change of blocksize. Then adding enhancement pak took it to 2400.
Happy now. Tab is going to the field in uk, and hopefully will live thru next 3 wks without incidence.
Problem with bluetooth and wifi still exists. Basically turning on bluetooth and connecting will stall the wifi - it looks like it is still connected but open the settings panel and it will update to show 'disconnected' then touching the button will turn off wifi, then touching it again starts it connecting again and then its fine. A pain when you are trying to hookup bluetooth gps and use maps app.

[Q] random shut down, uninstalled apps on reboot

As the title suggests.
Having a very strange issue at the moment where my phone will randomly switch off when it's in deep sleep, then when I've restarted I'll find some of the more recently installed apps have been deleted/uninstalled.
What on earth could be causing this?
Using siyah kernel 2.6.11 and wanamlite rom V7.8 (2.3.6)
Sounds like a to low under volt,(you may not have undervolted)... try neak kernel, its the best by far..
I think that will sort your problem out.
If not then wipe and reflash your rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
haven't undervolted at all, and it's set at 200-1200 MHz..
I'm not 100% sure if I had the issue with void echo (kernel I was using before), or an older siyah build but it's definitely possible.
What could explain the uninstalled apps though? it's really bizarre...
I'm going to go ahead and bump this as its happening yet again, but slightly differently as well.
I downloaded a game around 3 days ago and have rebooted once since then (yesterday) and just found that I could not launch the game (got a FC pop-up), but it was actually still installed. I then transferred the game installation to my SD card, and it launched. I then rebooted as I switched back to a different kernel via recovery mode, and now the game is uninstalled (along with at least two other apps I've noticed so far).
What is happening??? Surely someone has an idea.

[Q] Misc. Atrix Problems

Ever since yesterday, I have been having problems with my Atrix. Yesterday, I was on CM7, but I switched over to beta 0.6.9.1 CM9 earlier today. I've had one problem that was started yesterday with CM7, and continued into CM7. It's my biggest issue:
My Wi-Fi does not work. Everytime I turn on the Wi-Fi to scan for networks, the subtext in Settings reads "Error". This is usually followed by the phone rebooting itself. This happened in both CM9 and CM7. I tried looking up this problem and didn't seem to find any similar cases. I think it's a faulty Wi-Fi radio, but I'm not entirely sure.
Everything else is problems with CM9. I've found answers on some, but I'll post them in case my information is incorrect/outdated:
1. Certain apps built in to the ROM crash frequently. This includes the Music app, Camera app, and Settings (not as frequently). The Camera app, from what I've read, is crashing for a lot of different people, so I'm not concerned about it. The Music app confuses me though, since it's only on certain albums that it crashes. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But the album to the crashing of the app is always consistent.
2. I had installed the fingerprint-enabler.zip in CWM when I first installed CM9 and gapps, but when I go into the settings for sensor navigation, it tells me com.authentec.TrueSuiteMoble has stopped. Perhaps I either isntalled it wrong (I installed it as a .zip, just like CM9 and gapps) or it was a faulty zip, or outdated.
3. The volume up on the rocker does not work. When searching the Internet for CM9 files, I saw a .zip for a volume fix. I don't know if this is it, but I'm fairly certain it won't help, considering the volume up didn't work when I was in CWM either. If it's the rocker itself, which it most likely is, ignore this.
I'm pretty sure this is all my problems thus far. I'll update with fixes I find, or, hopefully not, more problems. Thank you all in advanced!

About your wifi. Is your Bluetooth working... if not then the broadcom chip is busted.
2. I think in they latest version you don't have to install the zip to make the sensor navigation to work.

Quick poll

On reference to the sense 6 Insertcoin port, I would personally like to take a survey. Please take the time to post what issues you are having and how you upgraded to the new partition. I personally didn't have any of the listed issues except the video saving and I upgraded via ruu.

Mines shooting nuclear kittens from its head phone jack... Please fix my bug.!!
That sounds beneficial though. If it wasn't doing that we could lose everything. Whatever you do don't reflash or attempt to fix this
I was running Captain Throwback's 4.13.651.4 which I installed by flashing recovery and firmware, then the ROM. Never had any weird issues on that ROM.
When I went to this InsertCoin ROM, I flashed 3.0.6 and let it do a full wipe and flash. Then I realized I didn't download the latest one (must have been updating the links at the time) so I downloaded 3.0.7 and did an update flash. Had problems so I did a 3.0.7 full wipe and flash.
I did recover a lot of my apps + data using Titanium (no system apps), but it failed after a while with issue #3 below.
The issues I'm seeing are/have been:
1) Repeated activation prompt every boot (remedied by updating profile)
2) No sound with videos shot from the stock camera app (most of the time)
3) Apps not installing sometimes with error "cannot install on usb or sd" - fixed each time by unmounting sd card and installing app, then remounting. Doesn't happen on every app.
4) Google Now/Search not listening for voice
5) No automatic switching from Wi-Fi to cell data (option was turned off?!), but works now. Still sometimes doesn't like it if I turn on airplane mode and then try to re-enable Wi-Fi, end up having to restart phone to get Wi-Fi to work.
6) Default Mail app crashes when viewing some/many emails (Exchange and Yahoo). Using MailWise for now but I like the stock app better.
Extreme power saving mode works too well. My charger is feeling betrayed, unloved and unwanted.
I have "scanning always available" checked but I still have been losing WiFi connectivity at least a couple times a day, requiring a reboot each time. Usually it's when I leave an area and come to another (such as leaving work and coming home) but once it lost connection while at work and I hadn't gone anywhere.

I noticed that occasionally. But I never had to reboot, all I had to do was toggle Wi-Fi, and occasionally had to toggle mobile data after leaving Wi-Fi
Upgraded to the new partitions using the 4.13.651.1 RUU, followed that with subsequent releases up to .4. Since then I ran Captain_Throwback's 4.13.651.3 and .4 ROMs. And prior to flashing InsertCoin I was on the Novitious 4.3 / Sense5.5 ROM all using TRWP 2.7.0.1b (iirc)
Prior to flashing InsertCoin, I updated the Recovery to TWRP 2.8.0.0 and did a full wipe and flash. This was done 4 nights ago and the name f the downloaded file is "InsertCoin_Sense6_JWL-3.0.7.zip" but the software version shown on my phone is 3.0.6?
The abnormalities I am seeing are as follows:
Activation prompt started on the second reboot and ended on the 4th after I did a profile update.
Cannot save video files to internal storage or external SD (64GB FAT32)
Google Now, Search or Voice to Text input is not working. The prompt to speak never come up and in text messages the long press command simply does nothing.
WiFi will occasionally drop and cannot be re-enabled without a reboot. Toggling WiFi results in an extended period of time of it trying to turn on, but results in a failed attempt. Toggling Airplane Mode and/or Data has not seemed to help.
Have noticed that Airplane mode sometimes takes a long time to turn on, sometimes about or just over one minute.
Default mail app was crashing with some emails during the first day to day and a half, but I have not had any problems with it since, but that might just be the emails I have opened.
After each reboot I receive the error that com.android,phone has stopped responding, this happens about four times within the first couple minutes after each reboot.
The Weather Clock widget does not automatically change it's format when the phone is turned to landscape. Pressing the Home button does correct it. The widget does reformat without user input when going from Landscape to Portrait mode.
In-call volume seems low compared to normal.
And it should also be noted that I am using the Liberty Kernel.

Liberty kernel I believe breaks sd card in call audio is low but we are working on that.
Meaning just with the video camera use? I know in the kernel thread many have reported problems mounting SD Cards with the Liberty Kernel, but since I am using a different format I have no problems mounting the card, nor reading/writing to it. I can also take pictures and they are saved to the external SD (just conformed) with no issues, the only exception that I have found so for, is saving video files from the cam.
I brought this up in the official thread but figured it might warrant a mention here too. The tweak that is supposed to allow you too launch specific programs by either swiping to the left or right from the lockscreen doesn't work.
It only does the default behavior regardless of what options you pick in the settings menu.

That's odd. Doesn't sound like a kernel feature to me (but what do I know? -- answer, "not much" when it comes to kernels) Could somebody else (who's running the "default" kernel) attempt to set an application to launch by left/right swiping in the lockscreen?
Feature can be found in Settings -> InsertCoin Kontrol -> Various ("Lockscreen left unlock action" - select an app, and "Lockscreen right unlock action" - select an app) and see if this works for you with the provided kernel? Just curious if it's actually working if you keep everything as is instead of flashing the liberty kernel like I did.

I've tried it with the default/stock kernel and changing those values has no effect, even after restarting.
No problems running this rom (and using liberty kernel)
I wanted to thank the ROM developers. I am having NO issues running this rom, with liberty kernel, and a bunch of xposed modules. My phone feels more repsonsive then before when i was running Viper 3.1.7 using bulletproof kernel. First couple of restarts i had the activation issue pop up, but got that resolved. Only had 2 complaints, i don't like using pinch to zoom in the camera(would love an option to always show the zoom bar), and wifi tethering was not working. I got the wifi tethering to work by using WiFi Tether Router(also needed this app for tethering on Sense 5.5) Thank you developers for bringing new life into my old phone.
