Did anybody else notice a bug in SE Music app on newest Gingerbread Rom? For me, when playing music, tracks are often interrupted by a strange electronic noise.
BTW I'm using "WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread". Did anybody has similar problems
and does this bug also appears in stock gingerbread rom or is it due to using a custom rom? I would be thankful for any answers.
Best regards.
me too
i have this problem too in WB 2.3.3 ROM
a lot of lags in audio player
I'm on wb hotfix 4 and ubermusic, and have no problems at all

i think the music player is really buggy... apart from the static noises between tracks, after unlocking from lock screen the track skips. Theres no shuffle/ repeat options at all, and wma files doesnt show up.
I was about to post the same thing. Other than her has anybody found a mp3 that does not skip.

This is Sony Ericsson Music App right? Not Stock Android Music player.
Stupid "Like" button for Facebook.
Only good thing is "infinite" button, which shows youtube videos of artist... but havent found out when i should use it..... because if i'm listening and interpret i most time know which songs he has....
Some1 know how to uninstall this music ab and how to install... was is music 3 from stock android ?
Well true and there is lag in music playing when using applications. Feels like slow processor or what.

Yeah, I`ve same problem, when using that stock music player(which has that widget). It`s really annoying, like stopping music playing for 0,5 sec and then continuing, that really sux :/ I hope there`ll be some fix for it...

Best combination I have found so far! Also on hotfix 4 and ubermusic gives me the least amount of trouble for playing music. Still skips when turning screen on but it is much more tolerable overall!
Yes guys, seems to be an issue with 2.3.3. Wolf is working on a new ROM (as the rooted ones are based on an indian firmware of X10 - but apparently the ROM from GB doesn't have this issue).
Please check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16278495&postcount=1904
Is not related to SD Card, nor to hardware (as it worked ok with 2.1 no stuttering ever) as far as I can tell.
Since Monday I'm on 005 but still the same probs with the stock player. Now 2 days later, I've considerably fewer drops. Didnt install any add apk's. very strange ?!?
by the way ;did anyone test mp3 with different bit rates ?
I've tested 128 kbps (same issues) and vbr 192-320 kbps (same issues).
I connected to my car's hands free and still had the same issues.
I connected to an A2DP music gateway and it didn't hiccup when rotating but messed up when turning the screen back on/off.
Someone said that the UK GB version doesn't have this problem. Wolf also mentions this (I think he's going to use the pre-rooted UK version for 006). Right now Wolf's rom is based on the pre-rooted India version.
Is anyone running EWJet? That one is based on the UK version and it would be interesting to know if that one is having audio issues.
I also have similar issue its too much lagy.
And also when i open some mp3 file from file manager it plays the other.
there are too many problems with this default music player from sony.
And also i can't use next/previous button of my mw600 with this player.
Mediascape was much much better then this.
Please i want mediascpe back on 2.3.3. Help me out.
I'm now on 006 , and the problems are back . I dont believe that it is an 2.3.3 specific problem. As I wrote before , on the old version the noises were gone after 2 days.

First off i want to say thanks for the help everyone. I'm on cm9 and solved most issues myself but I few I'm having problems with. First the native music played force closes when I try and search for a song. Its no big deal since I could just use gmusic. Jw if others have this problem? The next is what app does everyone use to have a video cam iv seen lots of different posts on it so I'm just trying to get a clear answer on that. Last is has anyone gotten svoice to work on cm9? Mine force closes all the time. I was wondering if it was maybe the download (got the apk from the op) or if there is a mortified version on it for cm9 and the photon? Thanks once again folks

1) Apollo is brand new and still in beta. Could very well be a problem with the app and not necessarily the rom
2) videocam illusion, download from market.
3) svoice?

Its not apallo its still just music. I'm on 6.1 but have had this problem since v1.
Thanks
And S-voice its one of the best apps for talking to your phone. Its from the sgs3 iv seen it run on lots of phones
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Not sure why the music player force closes. It would do that to me if i tried to skip songs too fast. I can say i have no issues with Apollo though, very smooth and the widget has a previous song button. Video camera illusion is the best camera at this point in time with no drivers. Every now and then it will lag but just restart the app and the problem goes away. And i have been unsuccessful at making svoice work. I tried installing the apk, using the flashable zip, mixing in with my gapps when i updated, and even changed my build.prop to match the SGSIII but still no luck.
Reflash.

Apollo is pretty spartan for a music player. If you enjoy music a better player might serve you better. I recommend PlayerPro, but it's $4.99. For a free music player, the MIUI player is not bad (works on any ROM... I think it worked on stock Gingerblur too).
I don't use video. Apparently Video Illusion is the only one. I haven't cared enough to try it.
S-Voice isn't compatible with our phones. Those straight rips don't always work. Have you tried Dragon Go, Speak to It, or Vlingo? They are all rated highly and work well with our phone. None of them are very good, and even Siri isn't that good in real-world applications, from what I've heard. Voice commands have a hell of a long way to go. They worked flawlessly in Star Trek, but there's a reason we're not using them on desktop computers. The technology is just not reliable. So you cannot expect miracles out of an ARM processor running Java, or whatever iOS runs exactly. It's simply unreasonable.
Hey guys I've been using player pro on my Android devices pretty much since release but It's getting to the point that I would like to see what else is out there. I've heard power amp getting kicked around these forums a lot so what's its like does it live up to the hype and if you have used both which is better?

I never tried Player Pro..
All I can share here, I tried default google player, default music player from samsung galaxy s3, and also jetAudio plus, no one can beat PowerAmp, for me..
I purchased the license, and never regret that..
U should try the trial version..
I'd pay at least double again to keep using power amp.
Power Amp for me, as it has the ability to keep the screen alive. So when I'm driving, i can glance at the handset in the cradle and see what's happening.
I like PowerAmp and I think it's the superior player overall, but I use PlayerPro for one particular reason - You can set it to only list your music by Album Artist in the library, rather than Artist, which is great if you have mixtapes and compilations.

playerpro has got a nice damn ui
playerpro +ics skin + dsp pack >>>>> Poweramp > Apollo > Stock > Others
poweramp 4 T W use it since i got my first droid!
Poweramp is an extremely well build music machine and uses its own build-in amp. + skins..
Playerpro has an easy UI and got an external dsp manager(dl. via market) * skins
Both perform very well and its a matter of taste.
Neutron is another music player(maybe the best) but very clumsy UI and hard to set up,because its has so many options..
My favorite is poweramp

I use Mortplayer!!! it has great options!!
Poweramp has the ability to read my mind...just has an awesome shuffle! just wish it worked like it use to for me. since flashing all these JB roms, dlg4 dlh4 dlh8 & li1now, all my playlist i create keep getting erased-or all the songs in the playlist are removed from the lists. very frustrating. have been searching xda for days. have no fc or issues otherwise with PA.
Hi!
I have a question about these two players and also Winamp Pro. I was using MortPlayer till now, but now it's time to change my player. I tried Winamp Pro, it's great but sometimes I find it slow when browsing folders (I have a 32 GB SD card full of music). SQ is great.
But the most important thing that I want to know is which of those uses the least resources (CPU and RAM)? I have Xperia X10i with ****ty stock gingerbread (2.3.3) (is not rooted) and I have problems with twitching, which is just going on my nerves.
Thanks
I like poweramp and I bought it a while back, though I seem to prefer a more clean/basic player. I think I like Google Play Music as a music player.

with power amp you can select different buffer sizes which should stop skipping(I presume that is what you meant by twitching?!)
I tend to go between the two. I prefer poweramp but player pro is very good - I might well go back to playepro for a bit.

Yes. Sorry, I'm not a native english speaker so I'm using google translator very often My music skips when I have less than 100 MB free RAM, and sometimes it skips all the time, but mostly on screen lock/unlock. I'm currently playing with PowerAmp and I think that I will use it as my main music app. I set the priority to highest and enlarged buffer size so no skipping for now. I will try it for a few days and probably buy it.

The sound in Pro Player is a little bit strange, while listening on my hi-fi. I gave up from Winamp Pro because I get force close very often. And PowerAmp seems to use less RAM (28MB) instead of WinampPro (34MB). But one question; poweramp doesn't have exit, so when I stop the music and "exit" from player, it's still in running apps taking 18MB !??? Is it possible to exit power amp so it's not anymore in running aps? I don't want my player to run in background while I don't use it!
EDIT: double fail! I came from Google and didn't see that this topic is for Samsung. Fail 2: I forget to turn on DSP in Player Pro. I think I will use it for now. Thanks!
Hi all!
I was just cleaning my room when i found my old x10 mini and i thought why dotn someone create a rom thata makes the cellphone a media player only? Like no sms or calls no apps! just one good mp3/mediaplayer and some eq like DSP manager. this would be so awesome.
So we could put a use to old android phones
this could ofc work on any android phone
so fell free any good developer to take this idea and make it reality:
I will once I get a new phone (october) and can test it without needing radio. The one problem I can see is WiFi and Bluetooth might not work if you disable the radio entirely so its finding how to disable cell radio only.

Can't you just take out the sim-card and strip Android down to just media... wifi and bluetooth should still work, but without a sim there's no 2g/3g.

I could have a go at stripping stock eclair down and putting in jit, to make it a bit more responsive. Only problem i have with stock is that the sound quality with video-recording is a bit crappy (understatement, it's horrible) in loud environments, is there a way to improve that? I'm not a fan of the dsp-manager, haven't tried it with headphones, but on the phone-speaker it just sounds horrible. Maybe put in SRS trumedia or something like that, if possible?
If I wanted just a media-player i would have:
MusicPlayer
VideoPlayer
Youtube
Camera/Video-recording
Gallery
FM-Radio
Track-ID
Maybe a few small apps:
Notes
Timer
Stopwatch
Calculator
Browser
E-mail
Any thoughts?

If you add wifi and browser and those things it would be like a phone anyways im thinkin like just media stuff.

mp3
video player
camera/recorder
stopwatch/timer (perfect for training)

Yeh, i was thinking smart mediaplayer.
Quite often i want to know what a song is called or who the artist is, so in those cases i turn on wifi and use trackid to identify the song, maybe the browser to get some more info.
When wifi and bluetooth are turned off they don't consume any battery, so it's not such a problem to keep them in, unlike the 'normal' network services that are always on.

Yes. A lot of people have moved on from their phones but have kept them around and its the sort of thing they'd be great for.
As for DSP-Manager, I find with the rock preset on my Sennheisers Guns N' Roses sound better than with it off, I might to a test CM7 build for it.

Just use the without any sim card...That's it....No need of any other os(music os/rom).. It is as simple as that....
use your x10 mini in fly-mode
I am exactly in the same situation..I recently bought a GNex and so i'm not using my awesome X10Mini anymore..But also due to the fact that the Gnex has no sdcard I was considering the idea of turning the mini into a music player..
I'm not a developer and I have just a little experince in ROM cooking, but I have a lot of free time in this period so I might try to do something..
A good idea.
I think we should ask NaA for permission to use MiniCM7 as a base(smoother than eclair) for such a ROM.
And then we remove the following apps:
Phone
Contacts
SMS
So it essentially becomes a PMP. Leaving YouTube and Browser apps in would be handy for video media consumption and what not.
Airplane mode on by default. Beats audio or some mod that actually improves quality
And there you have it! Of course though, it would essentially be nothing more than a recooked ROM. Anyone with MiniCM7 already installed could just do the above xD
Why recook when you can build it without GSM? I've done it already but not yet tested to see what sort of monster I've created (disabled GSM but might havve disabled. WiFi aswell)
X10man
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
While I can appreciate the novelty of seeing if you can build a ROM that works strictly as a media player, personally I think just using the phone in airplane mode is the best solution.
Consider which you would rather have:
1. a *possible* tiny performance gain from stripping out the GSM radio bits of the ROM
2. the knowledge that if your current phone ever dies or has problems, you can instantly pop the SIM into your old X10 Mini and have a working smartphone again.
I'll take number 2 any day. Even if I was living in the US and my new phone was non-GSM (thus no SIM card) I'd rather the option of being able to use my media player as a phone as well.
Granted, I guess you can always use multi-boot ROM setups. Still sounds like a lot of work to me.
Ever heard of Rockbox? I don't know that they are doing but I heard of an android port. Maybe as an apk. But the idea of it sounds great. I already started using my mini pro as an mp3 player for my wife. In airplane mode.
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus
Recently started using my Note for more than a e-reader and went a head a put some music on it.
Because I love music I downloaded JetAudio Pro so I'd have access to a equalizer, better playlist support, etc. However, upon installing it I've noticed that when playing music I get a "clicking" noise in all my music...I've tried different ROM's and even different versions of Jet to no avail.
Also, on every ROM I've tried the official "Music" app either crashes, freezes, or won't play my music at all.
Just a bunch of problems I can't seem to find answers or fixes for. If anyone has advice I'd appreciate it!
OK...better question yet...does anyone USE JetAudio? And if so do you have issues with it? Happens with both the free version (that you can download and test yourself for me ) and the paid version as well.
I don't know if its a software issue or a hardware one either as the default Android Music app fails to work as well...
Sup, i use jetaudio pro, and i notice that clicking sound too, but when i use another player there is no sound problem! Maybe a bug in jetaudio, who knows.... oh! I'm rooted with stock ics on rogers.

Hmmm...if it is a software issue they need to get it fixed! Been long enough now to smooth this kind of stuff out in my opinion.
Well good to know I'm not the only one with issues.
I'm using LiquidSmooth RC5 Jelly Bean. No cell service, just as a phablet.
jetAudio bug
Hi! I have this problem too. The situation is the following:
1. jetAudio is working fine on the original ROM. Everything is working fine. (Sense, HTC One V).
2. I installed CyanogenMod 10 to my phone. JetAudio playing a lot of songs with the "clicking" sounds. The Apollo player plays my music without problems. Winamp makes the "clicking" sounds too with the same songs, so I think this is an incompatibility issue (kernel or rom?).
Have anyone found solution to this problem? I am using Xperia arc with CM11 and i have same problem.After some minutes of smooth music i get clicking sound.It's very random.I have to FC it from apps setting and start it again to listen music properly.I am using jet audio pro as well.
OK...since moving to Jelly Bean (multiple ROM's tested) one thing that is a CONSTANT failure is music apps. Whether its Apollo, JetAudio, Rocket Player, PowerAMP, Google Music, etc they ALL crash or simply won't start/play music at all.
All my music is MP3 format so its not a compatibility issue. It happens on multiple Jelly Bean ROM's so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.
Thought it might be a issue with my SD card but everything else on it works fine (including movies and games) and putting music on the internal storage brings the same results.
I'm just at a loss here...first my GPS doesn't work (on Straight Talk...still haven't fixed this) and now not even my music will work? I'm starting to think my Note is screwy...but these are honestly the only issues I've had so far.
If anyone knows anything just let me know, thanks!
