[Q] CM7 RC1.2 and third party audio players - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just found a wierd bug in CM7 RC1.2 that I haven't seen mentioned before. When using either Winamp or Google Listen the audio plays fine, but the elapsed time counters don't start - they just stay at 0:00. The default music app works fine, and the two apps above function properly on OMFGB.
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled both apps and fixed permissions.
Any ideas?

I'll confirm this happens in both Winamp and DoubleTwist on RC1.2 although it starts working if you grab the slider and move it to a different time other than 0. Seems like there was something similar to this that wasn't updating that slayher was going to look into but I can't remember right now.
Should be added to the community reported bug list.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125466

Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this on doubleTwist.

It's been reported in the thread here and in the rootzwiki thread.

Wow, I have been using Winamp regularly on RC1.2 for almost 3 weeks now, and never noticed that bug till I just checked now. Good catch!

Netflix Update Kills Video

I wouldn't advise updating the Netflix app. I did yesterday and now I only get audio and no video. I'm running CM7 beta. Can anyone using stock or another rom confirm if yours is working. I saw in the app market comments that others were having problems as well but haven't seen anything over here.
I have stock gingerbread and I don't have any video issues. Although I was getting like a fast forward audio/video thing when I started a movie. It corrected after I stopped and started it. I like it better because they fixed the orientation situation.

Well I guess it's a cm7 problem like the HBO to Go app. Damn, I love the rom but this needs to be fixed. Hopefully I can flash a backup to get it going again.
yup i had the same issues. i just re-installed a backup of 1.4.0 and it works fine again.
Well, I did a cwm restore from a backup I did 2 days ago. I opened netflix and gave me an error about my device being deactivated, I just clicked through the ok's and it logged me out. I logged back in and all was well. Also, after reviewing the bug reports on CM7, I came across an interesting fix that may work for plex, I'll post the link below in the hopes that it will help somebody.

Did u get this to work? I don't see it under my settings?
No I didn't. Didn't work on hbo to go. Figured out it was a work around for plex only. The settings are found within plex I believe.

Google Play Music - "Unknown artist" for Random Songs

Hey all, I've been using Google Play Music for quite some time with no problem whatsoever. My files are OCD-like tagged and organized. Under CM7 and CM9 I had zero problems with the info being correctly read by the app.
But all of a sudden, under CM10 (and once when I rolled back to CM9), random songs (not the same ones every time I wipe and re-copy the music to the MicroSD card) end up under the "Unknown artist" label.
Since I've had this problem in not just CM10, I am posting this as a separate thread, rather than in that ROM's thread.
Any idea what's going on? It's driving me crazy. I've cleared cache and data many times for the app and let it re-scan my music. I've deleted it off my MicroSD multiple times and then re-copied it. No luck.
I've searched XDA Developers and the Internet about this many times to no avail. Anyone else having this issue?
Hate to double-post, but I feel like this is getting buried real quick.
Have you tried, other players to see if they'd do the same exact thing? Kinda like, if its broken, try a new alternative.

+1 I've been running CM9 stable and at one point Apollo stopped picking up my music from my phone all together, it was just blank. I decided to dl double twist and it gather all my track info. After that Apollo started working.
I know you're running cm10 but I thought this might be helpful

Well for some reason those same songs are showing "Unknown artist" in those programs too. But the tags are perfect when I copy them from my PC. I'll try re-writing the tags for those songs and see what happens.
Might be a bit late in responding though, as I just started law school and am swamped with reading.

[Q] Google play won't load on Jelly Beans build 11

Hello,
Google play just stopped working for me on Jelly Beans build 11. Google play says "No Connection" and the retry button doesn't work. My Note 2 is online though; the hotspot and web browsing works fine. I do not know what the problem is with Google play. Can anyone recommend a gapps file for Jelly Beans build 11? or another solution? Is it only me that is having this issue? Or is the gapps that is preinstalled with Jelly Beans build 11 unreliabe?
Thanks
Im on build 10 and I haven't had any problems...Maybe try flashing the rom again?

fixed gapps for Jelly Beans build 11
Ok,
So, it was an app called "Freedom" that was installed on my phone that trashed the Google Play. Clearing the cache for Google Play did not fix the problem. I had to re-flash the the Jelly Beans build 11 ROM to get Google Play back. I do not recommend using the Freedom app.

Interesting. He never made any accusations... just said it stopped working an asked for help. I have the same issue. I've been researching for hours and tried many things. I re-installed it many times and wiped cache. I've tried at least 6 different solutions from different forums and finally found this thread while looking for help. Your reply is really defensive and rude. The issue only happens for me with this ROM so please tell me why it cannot be this ROM and what I should read more.

Correct. I was defending the original poster. Sorry, but my tone does not excuse you. I hate it when some "senior member" steps in to scold someone for asking for help. This is a great forum overall. As a developer I can appreciate protecting the ROM's integrity, but some of you guys have some major ego issues. This person was able to find a solution on their own, but there is still a live issue with this ROM. No, I am not spreading rumors. It is a great ROM and I wish I could use it. Hopefully, someone else will read this and have some good suggestion. After trying everything imaginable and researching for an entire day I gave up and went to Synergy Rom (my 2nd choice). Play Store works for me with that Rom and it has a theme that makes it look like stock. Unfortunately, I cannot post on the actual thread because I am new so I have to look for help on side threads.
There is no synergy rom for the Verizon galaxy note 2......what are you talking about sir? If I see correctly you have an s3. Therefore why are you even posting here? This does not relate to beans rom on the note 2

"As a developer"? I agree add the guy below me though, what phone are you using?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I'm a new developer (well... new to making ROMs), but have not completed my own yet. It looks like fun though so I'm getting into it.
Currently, I am on a Verizon GSIII and the problem was while using Jelly Beans, but may not be directly with that ROM. Like the original poster I am not using Freedom and have not installed any apps yet.
I tried:
- enabled download manager
- re-installed many times
- cleared all caches
- checked system time
- factory reset
- fix permissions
- no ad-blocking software messing with host file
- logged into Google via browser
- removed and re-added Google Acccount
- good internet connection
- etc. etc.
Switching to Synergy fixed Playstore for me without any other actions, which leads me to believe it was a bug. Since I switched ROMs I cannot do any testing now. However, if I remember correctly since I now have 10 posts I may be allowed to post messages on the Jelly Bean thread. I hope so... then I can communicate directly with that dev and help them debug.
If anyone else has this problem at least they know they are not alone and maybe can post their results.

I haven't tried this myself, but if you experience this issue across several CM versions and devices, it's worth reporting to the JIRA bug tracker. Be sure to reproduce the issue on a milestone, RC, or stable release, else your bug report will be tossed out.
Oh, I just saw that you're talking about a third-party app. I use WeatherBug Elite on my phone. I've turned on sound notifications, but I don't have a way to create a weather alert so I can't test it immediately. Not sure when bad weather will roll through either...

I can confirm this behavior today. I received numerous weather alerts that all showed in status bar, but no sound. This is most likely a bug in the application considering other apps are able to activate the notification sound without issue. I suggest e-mailing the developer (I will do the same).

Pandora app crashing seconds after it opens.

Hey all, I seem to be having an issue with the Pandora app. It is an app I use heavily, which it crashing is driving me bonkers.
Here's what happens. I open the app and it stays open until it starts to play/load music. The moment the artist information shows up the app closes itself. I had flashed the debloat script and rooted the phone. Then I disabled swap and of course, installed all my apps. Later I noticed the Pandora app crashing problem. I figured it was probably something the debloat script removed that I might have needed so I recovered to stock and only restored root. Low and behold, Pandora worked fine. I spent an hour or two listening and reading a book. I paused it so I could prepare for bed and when I hit play, it crashed again. Tried rebooting the phone, clearing the apps cache/data and reinstalling. Nothing seems to work. The app is set as a protected app in the settings. Also, I have the KIW-L24(USA) model.
tldr: Read the title
Hoping someone has some hints they could throw my way. It seems curious that the app would work for a few hours then only stop working after I paused and then hit play again. If anyone has any advice, please shoot it my way.
What software build do you have? This issue was previously reported, but it should be fixed by now. Also, what version is the Pandora app?

Build number: KIW-L24C567B140
Pandora: version 6.9.2 (I have Pandora One, just in the off chance that would matter?)
I just cleared the app cache, deleted the app data, uninstalled, then booted into twrp, cleared the dalvik cache and rebooted (as I stated in the first post, I had done this all before). It now seems to be working. If it begins to crash a third time, I'll update.
And it started crashing again. I may have found the culprit. Everything was kosher until I allowed notifications. When I did the app crashed, with near instant crashes there on. Shut off notifications for Pandora in settings and it works like a charm.
Edit: I can repeat this issue by enabling/disabling notifications. A bit annoying, bit at least the app works.

I'm using an unofficial build uploaded by bandit development. It works fine and everything runs very smoothly. The only things that don't work are the fingerprint reader, the back camera, and the back flash.
