Instead of paying another $5/month to get another Rhapsody music authorization, I'd like to just run it from the mobile browser. The problem with the default browser is that the music stops playing if it's in the background or the screen is turned off. I also tried Skyfire but it doesn't stream music off the website.
Are there any fixes to the browser or any alternative browsers that can stay alive and stream music when in background/screen off state?
Miren browser is the answer. It has problems displaying the entire web page for some frustrating reason, but at least it streams music in the background or with the screen off.

Hello fellow Wing users, I am looking for a media player that works well for general audio usage and can play videos. I am running WM6.5 JustHome on my Wing. I use a bluetooth headset to listen to music and take the occasional call. I tried TCMP and kept getting MP4 related errors and no audio. So far WMP works, but come on now...
I cannot seem to get a web browser that works properly. I do not have a data plan, but have WiFi access most of the time and I can connect. Before I upgraded from the factory WM6, I had no problem with IE. After the upgrade, Opera Mini 4 was included but keeps looking for a data link. IE pulls up the TMobile webpage about upgrade to data plan. All these new weather programs look for a data link also. WiFi is so much faster! I've searched the forums and haven't had much luck. Am I just missing something really simple here?
I use Opera Mini 5 and UC Web for internet browsing.
Can't think of any freeware video/music players...
well, for music, i use S2P v.58, there is a new version now, but that doesnt have cover flow
since im a new user and cant post links, search s2p v.58 on the fourms
i use nitrogen for music and opera mobile 10 for web browsing
i use skyfire for webbrowsing
When itcomes to media, it's all about TCPMP, this build i found here's very smooth and is skinned.

I know android allocates memory when its not using some apps.. but there are some I don't want it to.. like how Google maps loads its signal every time you switch to another app, or let the screen time out.. or how the browser, when it's watching that megaupload timer, and you switch to something else to kill the time, when you come back the timer hasn't moved at all.. of if you're watching a video online, letting the screen go off, or tabbing makes the streaming video start all over from the beginning cause it lost its place. or if you want to listen to music from a YouTube video, turning the screen off kills the vid
is there a way to stop certain apps from sleeping? I know some apps never sleep, like music players, or Google navigation

When streaming video from youtube, or other sites and I hit pause during that stream, the entire loading of the stream will stop. Whatever is buffered will play but the stream will not resume loading from that point forward.
Example: Say I'm streaming a cartoon from the web and the clip is 5min long. About 2min into the clip I have to pause it because the phone rings. When I come back it will only play another 30 seconds and then stop (the stream which was already buffered plays). The player will just show the little symbol for loading/buffering but the wifi transfer icon on the tablet is doing nothing. I will have to reload the page and the video from the beginning.
The same can happen if I try moving around the clip. If I wanted to jump 30 seconds into the clip or backward in time it can trigger the player to stop loading. It will also happen if I open another app and return to the browser; like reading a new email. If I'm using netflix to stream I don't run into this problem. I assume its because of their programing in the app etc.
Is this a limitation to streaming video on mobile devices when it doesn't complete the buffering if interrupted? A computer will just continue to buffer it into memory for playback but are mobile devices set up to stop that loading so that memory is kept free? I know our primes have browser issues with freezing and rebooting but I don't know if this is part of the browser issues the broader prime community is experiencing.
I am on stock os, I use boat browser and the stock browser, and tried the suggested remove all browsers, uninstall flash, and reinstall trick. My phone has always been bad at streaming video so I can't really compare that with my tablet.
Hi,
While seeing streaming videos on browser (it happens in Chrome and in stock browser even with one tab open) my Tables S usually reboots android or block the browser. When the browser blocks, I shut down the open apps and then I can continuing using the browser until the next reboot ou block. This only happens while seeing videos in browser, sometimes in the first video sometimes after seeing 4 or 5.
Does any one have the same problem? Any solution?
Thanks.
I've searched Google and this forum, and cannot find an app or program that will allow me to play YouTube videos in the background.
It's annoying because I use GoSMS Pro, with the pop up picture option (the the contact photo pops up in the corner), and when I open the application,the video stops. Not a big deal. Until I'm done with the text, and hit play again, then it has to re-load the whole video, and 50% of the time, I lose my video progress, which is annoying when watching DOTA 2 videos (usually between 30 and 60 minutes long). again, not a massive deal when I'm at home where I havegreat internet. But normally I watch these videos outside of my house, and the internet is much slower, meaning it takes forever to load.
Any ideas?
Apparently YouTube has a feature that was recently discovered that will let you play videos in the background but it is not enabled yet. Until then PVSTAR+ available in the Play store and let's you listen to your YouTube playlist in the background.
