i got poweramp 2.0.. when i scroll through albums, the albums dont appear as fast as i scroll through them. it takes 2 secs for the albums to appear as i scroll. is there a way to fix this so that the ablums appear instantanously without having to wait as i scroll?

OMG!! please tell me you didnt say that. the most recent app has the same problem! do you got an explanation for that?
It appears right away for me.. What phone are you using/
OMG I have to wait 2 seconds of my precious time for album art to appear. Like OMFG! Those 2 seconds could have been put to better use like saving starving children in Africa but instead I used those 2 seconds to stare at my phone waiting for album art to appear. OMFGWTFBBQ

Didn't you know, Poweramp sucks
Dramatic much? If this is the first day you're using it, it still needs to cache everything and all that good stuff. After that, may just be your SDcard is slow or try organizing your library better. I use a basic structure of:
Artist > Album > Song
Works fine and most media players pick that up easily
Works perfectly fine on my old Hero and on my new EVO 3D. Why don't you give some more details about your setup so you can help fix the problem rather than just complaining like a little spoiled brat.

We've a joker here (or a retard. the 2 aren't mutually exclusive). I'd bet he is using a low end android phone, LG Optimus one. Or he could be using a class 2 sd card. Or he is brain dead. Or all three. Either way, it is people like this that are ruining it for us.
Its like saying Crysis sucks when you're trying to run it on a Pentium 3 processor with Intel Graphics.
Poweramp failed to make me a hot breakfast AGAIN this morning. Terrible app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vaelek.sdspeedboost&hl=en
Poweramp was late to work AGAIN!!! such a bad app.
This thread actually made me laugh
Using v2.0 and it doesn't deserved to be called a beta version, it's so stable and polished.
There might be something wrong with your phone... Too many apps may be ? or a low end phone?
Let's see you develop something better, eh? It works excellent for me (both beta and the latest stable version on market) and for the 5-10 million who have downloaded it. And the almost 90k people who decided to leave comment/rating gave it 5 stars and another almost 20k gave it 4 stars.
Surely the problem just must be with the app and not you or your setup, huh? /sarcasm
Please, be more considerate before you rage and rant about an app. And the beta is called a beta for a reason. And if it's also a problem with the latest stable version you're having, most likely it's not the app's fault.
That aside, it would help if you were more detailed about your setup. Not that 2 seconds of your life is that terrible a loss. Me thinks it's your SD card that's the issue here. My measly 8gb class 2 sandisk external microsd handles flac files just fine, album art and all. The "32gb class 4" no name external microsd I was given on the other hand kept failing in every single way.
No You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he he ..so true!!
Well it works,sounds flawless on my phone ,quality of the sound is much improved on 2.0 ,scrolling through album art also seems smoother,cant please some people.

I really don't have uber high demands for my phones, I just expect them to work and fill my what I believe to be simple needs. I'm hoping that I can list some of my issues and possibly get some positive feedback to help weed through issues, not only for me but for other users. I know this phone has a lot of passionate followers, I can definitely say, I'm not one of them.
I don't mind rooting at all, but cannot lose 4g capabilities. I know I've seen some locked OSs, any suggestions would be appreciated. I also bought this phone based on my ideals behind Tegra and the SIM slot as I'll be doing some world travel within the next few months. Now to some issues I've had...
Default Music player - efing sucks. If there isn't a good 30secs of lag loading media from the external SD card, the damn thing crashes after 3-4 songs. I fully understand that rooting will get through this issue with a different (hopefully android default) media player. But I'm struggling to find why this is an issue outside of poor development. Have about 8GB worth of music on either a 16gb or 32gb SD card. Wipe Dvcache and NO PROBLEMS with same memory card.
Camera - Can't shut off shutter sound? What the hell were Motorola software techs thinking? Yes the camera is very good, but what the fizzle? I ironically heavily considered this phone over the GS2 because of the dedicated camera button. Only to be frustrated thanks to the inability to take ninja photos.
Multi-Touch - I had issues with multi point touching. Multidev gave some direction here, which if I root my phone later today, I'll definitely go in this direction.
BT Media Stream - Specifically with the Sync in Ford vehicles. I've used it in both a 2011 Focus (sync 3.0) and my 2011 Mustang (sync 2.0) and repeated the same issue detailed in this thread. Completely drives me up the wall, as I have not had this issue with any of the roms I ran previously on my Evo4g. Everything else works well with Sync, including making and receiving calls and text/email notification.
I'm sure there's been a few more issues that I've had slip my mind. But, I guess I'm really just hoping that I can use the benefits of this phone without continuing to 'deal with' the shortcomings of owning a handset that isn't going to sell 500k units and get the kind of manufacturer and homebrew software support of a phone that has sold 500k units.
Thanks
i use google music app, not the moto one and i love it.. ive had NO issues with it what so ever.. and it is THE default android player
camera is annoying but you are required to be rooted to remove it.. dunno if anyone has or not tho. any third party app should still work with the button etc etc
as for bluetooth.. no idea again may be solved by removing the current music app and putting googlemusic on there (use titanium backup to remove the moto music player )
Thanks for the response Shabby.
So either way, I'd be better off rooting and removing the music player and camera apps?
I guess the only other thing I'm looking for in a rom is just general speed. The phone flys when it comes to opening programs and program performance, but the general speed of menu access and transitioning from one base mode to the next leaves a lot to be desired. Just getting in and out of text messages takes just too damn long.
First of all, the Photon is a great phone, when it works properly.
I have had wayyy more issues than you with it, and trust me, sometime I just completely hate the F&@^(*$ Mother [email protected]%[email protected] This phone can be a dumb @$$ son of a B!^@%. When it works it is awesome.
I have been through about 5 replacement Photon's and need to replace it again after the holidays, (Motorola has finally fixed the problem with it officially, YAY!) Now, you shouldn't be complaining compared to what I have been through.
But, I understand where you are comming from.
I have not had a stable music player, other than Rhapsody, that didn't crash or force close on me, including, Music, Google Music, Honeycomb Music, & Player Pro.
I personally hate the Rhapsody interface and I am forced to deal with it.
Camera Shutter Issue,
Root Required - Download Root Explorer via Market or find other means of getting it. PM me if you want to know how you can get it in other ways.
Go to
System/media/audio/ui in Root Explorer.
First copy and save to it to sd first incase you want it back cause delete is permanent.
Set system to rw then delete
Delete camera sound ogg.
Then you are all set. Or don't root and use the following application: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/443424#443424
(Sorry, the Motorola forums are currently down, they hope to get back up by the end of this week.) But, check later on this or next week. (NOW YOU CAN TAKE NINJA PHOTOS) But remember, there is not current way to disable the auto focus double beep, if someone finds a way, please comment below, and I may edit this post.

There's another way to disable the camera sound on the phone here: Enable sound settings in stock camera app - root required
Also, what's the problem with the phone that they're finally fixing?
I wasn't aware of the Multi touch problem, and I have ran into my touch screen locking problem yesterday while playing Mario Kart 64 yesterday.
I backed up my touch screen folder, and replaced it with the 8 multi touch files.
That is a deal breaker, but I'm glad to have the solution.
Edit: I tried Mario Kart again, but the touch screen continues to lock up after holding down "A" for a bit (to accelerate). Did Motorola lock how long you can press down on the screen?
Yes, I tried the multi touch app and they register all 8 touches.

hi there.
the devs' of one game (EA's monopoly) were so brilliant to forget to hide their game's pictures and other media from android gallery.
I have added the file .nomedia in all folders that contain the game media, cleared gallery data and rebooted, but the pictures still show up in gallery.
what am i doing wrong?
Would've thought the file would do the trick. Strongly suggest QuickPic. MUCH faster, lighter and has more options. The gallery is a cpu hog.

yeah that's what i thought.
used quickpic on my other phone, liked it. generally want to go stock as much as possible though... weird that it doesnt work the way it should
so there is no known solution for the monopoly issue? its too bad, i really like the game but its messing up my gallery so much

Unfortunately I couldn't find any
I put .nomedia file in every possible sub-folder and rebooted, but the media still showed up. Kind of weird, because ".nomedia" should and has worked in the past... so kind of a combination of EA making this blunder in their game design, and something wacky about the GT ROM not properly rescanning media files...
I ended up deleting the files and uninstalling the game, periodically checking the market whether EA has updated the game... I also sent them a bug report to their support Email in their website (although for support they do not have Android as a platform listed... go figure...) -haven't received an answer yet
^ certainly understand your thoughts... just curious though... the stock gallery is a cpu hog. why not just freeze it and use quickpic? You know from using it you could easily hide/exclude the galleries you did not want scanned/shown and the Tab has proven to run much better for me without the stock Gallery.
I know you mentioned staying stock as much as possible.... just felt I'd beat the drum a little more for those who read this later.

no prob.
i used quickpic on my old Galaxy Tab (and my wife still does).
Gallery in Honeycomb just has a pretty good integration with Google+ and Picasa.
quickpic is a good app, can recommend it definitely.
right now i however just wish that EA would take android programming more serious... it tells me a lot that their user support pages don't even list Android as a platform... they haven't really arrived here yet...
I also have this problem, tried everything and my gallery is still full of monopoly trash . Sad cause I liked the game.
Have you cleared app data for media storage in settings/apps?
not entirely related to your issue, but an interesting side note.... When i plug in my nikon sd card via the usb adapter gallery refuses to show the contents, but quickpic works fine
Never had this with my other droid devices, so defo something odd on the tab re gallery/media scan

where is face-unlock feature ???????
Still no ics here in Italy
Italy still no ics, thats crazy! Im glad there is no face unlock feature, ics 10 out of 10.
Performance Good.
Only Flickering Screen, any solution??
At first, it looks nice. It is more stable and smooth.
I didn't see any screen flickering.
The browser is more fast, stable and smooth, but the opera is better anyway.
The launcher is like CM trebuchet, very nice.
I thought I read it somewhere that you can access your SD card directly from SONY apps but I'm unable to do that. Reader still can't scan files on my SD card.
Somehow the screen flickering is gone but now if i press resent apps my apps flashes on the homescreen dissappear and reappear nothing spectaculair but in the begin when i pressed the recent app button my screen flickers. Thats over now, i really like ics and about the missing face unlock,,, i don't care because it works 3 times over 10 so it doesn't bother me at all.
Edit: nevermind still have the flickering its just when you have more then 5 apps running i guess..

Hi have anyone already tried to play 1080p mkv after ICS upgrade? I've seen a video review where 1080p on HC didn't play or, if yes, they were in "slowmotion" like. Can you do some tests and share experience? And someone noticed a Cam improvement. Is that real? the front camera or rear camera? thanks a lot

But thanks to ICS, it's now possible to organize apps on the homescreen(s) by sliding an icon over another one that you deem related.
This way I've made 'folders', grouping apps by genre (e.g. 'News', 'Media', 'Communication', 'Shopping', etc.)

For me, folders were the main reason to upgrade. I've got a nice, uncluttered home screen now, with all of my most-used apps categorised and grouped.
Swiping notifications and apps is nice too, and I like Chrome a lot (still needs work though!)

Tried. Didn't help
Even tried b changing audio priority to highest.
Specially happens if I'm browsing something and some picture starts loading.
Doesn't happen in my year old iPod.
And I don't think it used to happen in ICS
I had a similar problem which i think i worked out to happen when a message was coming through or a application was updating, leading me to think it was a low RAM problem so maybe this could be whats happening, if alot of things are open in the background. Either that or processor isnt working fast enough. If your rooted and have a custom kernel try changing the profile to maybe a performance one?
But this didn't happen in ICS... jellybean was supposed to speed up our device not to make it crawl... looks like touchwiz is really :thumbdown: :banghead:

I'd say probably not - I can confirm I've got this issue too, after upgrading to JB. I can't see why so many with the same problem would mean that all our phones are faulty.
Has anyone got a resolution for this?
Mine does it too.. Its just cause of too low ram or something. Never had this problem on S2. This is just samsungs way of saying "upgrade to the S4"
This phone would be brilliant without all these microlags because of low ram..
Questions go in the QA section, not general.

Same for me since the JB upgrade in Poweramp and Play music. I thought it was something to do with my setup but had the sudden death failure on my phone so started with a clean install when it came back. Problem is still there with my new 32GB mboard and I haven't done any restores of apps.

It seems like some apps when they give ask CPU ( or RAM ) for something, the focus shifts from the music to that.
Like when weater widget asks polls for weather or something.
Funny how my 6 years old SE Walkman w800i was able to play for hours without a micro shutter.
And this almighty phone can't do a simple task,
It's worse when I try to browse and play music.

I agree. I've noticed it mainly when getting notifications through. It seems to me that it's down to bad RAM management. My Desire had less ram but played music fine with ICS.

Reply ****ing frustrated with the phone.
Can't even listen to song on PowerAmp while surfing Facebook in the app or browse lightly on Dolphin .
The songs start to shutter at random places.
And if I press home button, Nova launcher reloads.
I'm on stock LLC with stock kernel.. Rooted.
Any solutions?
I tried many things, new roms, new kernels. All megawipes and stuff, nothing works..
Same problem here . It's so annoying. Given the great number of people with the same problem, I don't think it is a phone problem but a JB one!! Please!!! Help!!! I already tried changing the buffering size and even though it did help a little, I still get some stuttering!
Here's what I think I've worked out so far.
The problem has only arisen since JB and was fine in ICS. A change of handset has the same issue with a clean install of JB.
It seems to happen across different music apps but tunein radio is fine so isn't a specific audio app. Could be that it's linked to a particular file format, e.g. mp3?
When it happens in Poweramp I can see the buffering constant, it never fully loads. Increasing the buffer size and priority doesn't help.
Notifications can make it stutter but it seems that the problem is already there beforehand from the buffering.
Clearing RAM doesn't seem to help, however rebooting the phone will improve it for a while.

I had the same problem.
Deleting the musicplayer widget on the homescreen fixed my problem.
Try deleting it or any other widget you have on your homescreen.
Think I've got a solution in poweramp. After a reboot go to settings/misc/tweaks and select keep service. It hasn't had any skips since I've done that and battery life/performance still seems OK. Early days yet though.

On my note running jedi rom, nexus 4 and my tablet. The radio feature works fine on PC but it won't start on the 4 or my tab. The music app itself closes constantly on my note though. I uninstalled the app and reloaded a previous version so I can atleast still listen to my purchased tunes.

I have over 1000. It worked with 400-something.
I have just over 7000 songs. I am on an S3 on T-Mobile. I tried the new Google play music on several roms, included stock rooted and the app was unusable because of the force closes. I reverted back to the old version of Google play music, unrooted, let my music sync, then upgraded to the new version through the play store, and it has been working for 3-4 days without any problems. I rerooted the phone to test and sure enough the force closes came back. I repeated the process stated above and it works perfect again. I am convinced "root" was causing the force closes... At least in my case. Hope this helps.

I was having the same problem and I just found a way to make it work for me.
1. Turn off phone.
2. Eject SD card
3. Reboot
4. Open Play Music and go through the setup making sure that it doesn't crash
5. Turn phone back off and insert SD card
6. Reboot
For me after those steps it is still working.
Edit: Until I put my music back on my sd card.

4. Open Play Music and go through the setup making sure that it doesn't crash
5. Turn phone back off and insert SD card
6. Reboot
For me after those steps it is still working.

I thought the SD Card was the issue too. I've got a little over 3000 songs and I thought it was the loading process causing the FC's so I had done what you post above on 3 separate roms and all have FC'd. It has even FC'd before even launching the application. I have decided to just wait it out and hope that Google solves this issue soon. I have faith in them to get things fixed pretty soon like they usually do. Thanks for the tips though!

I forgot that I had taken all my music off of my SD card before I did those steps. Once I added it back to my card it started happening again after I refreshed. But it didn't start until near the end of the refresh. It looks like there are certain tracks that it doesn't like, or after a certain amount of music on your sd card it stops working.
+1 on this issue, hope they fix it soon, having to use the touchwiz music player and it sucks.
non-rooted, galaxy s II with 4.1.2, about 3000 songs and 64 gb sd card.

Is anyone getting endless force closes after installing the new Google Play Music? I've tried using two different Touchwiz Roms and even CM 10.1 and all of them seem to have issues running the app. Thoughts?

This time I'm pretty sure I have the fix. It is definitely working for me. There's a problem with the album art in the mp3's ID3 tags. I'm pretty sure it's only the art from a few of them but good luck finding which ones. If you delete all the album art from all mp3's you should be able to run the app without problems. You'll have to delete all the music from your phone and re copy it. You might have to delete everything you've uploaded to Google then re upload that too, but I'm not sure about the last part. Hope this helps.

I was thinking the same problem being with album art but I can install Google Music without ANYTHING on my SD card and external SD card and it will still crash. It's very odd so I guess I'm just going to wait until Google pushes next update that will hopefully fix it. I've seen quite a good amount of people complaining so I'm sure Google will look into it.

I saw some people say yesterdays update fixed the problem but I'm not sure since I already wiped album art. If you have uploaded music to Google with album art it doesn't like that could still be causing the problem.

Wow. I have not even tried updating for the past few days. I just updated, streamed a few songs, and smoothly went through my library without a single FC. Looks like they have updated and it is working just fine now for me! Thank you very much! haha
