I'm a little new to the whole android scene, so please bare with me
I recently rooted my HTC inspire and installed LCs IceColdSandwich. I'm currently on 1.4. Lately I've been having a lot of music app crashes. It started around the same time that I manually changed the default Music.apk. After that I would crashes on almost all of my media players (I have several because I'm still picking which one will be my daily player). I didn't notice these crashes until I changed this apk, so last night I factory reset my phone and reinstalled 1.4
Unfortunately the problem is still there. I'm bringing this up on the forum because I'm still not familiar enough to know exactly how to trouble shoot it. Do you think it is a problem with the ROM (I hope not, because I fell in love with ICS), or just the apps? I've seen this crash on Zimly (which is my favorite), Cloudskipper and Cubed. The only app that hasnt crashed yet is my trial of Poweramp.
Thanks

Hi All:
So I've checked the different threads / forum topics and while some users have reported this issue on certain ROM's Q&A sections, I dont belive this to be a specific ROM issue as I have installed 2 different ROMS (VeganTab 7.1.0 and CM7 REPACKED - currently on CM7 repacked both ROMs are BL.2). I believe both roms are based on the same verison of droid.
With both ROMs, I;ve tried the following:
ISSUE:
With the newest Pandora installed, play a station. The 1st song plays fine, the 2nd song, play reaaaaallly slow. If you press the skip >> button, the next song play fine, the 4th song will play very very slowy
FAILED TO FIXES
1 - Change ROMS, by NVFlashing DETOX (on goodintentions website) partioning the hdd, doing wipes and flashing ROMs
2 - Cleared Data on Pandora, uninstalling Pandora and redownloading from the market
3 - restoring Pandora from TiBU, clearing Data and relog in.
On another note, I've notice HULU, doesnt play as well as it used to in a Default Browser, Dolphin and Puffin. You can start a show in any of them, video play back is choppy (audio is fine) and after the 1st commercial, the browser will freeze and lock up the device.
Other than that the both ROMS work fine but am looking for input on the issue to remain on these new versions of droid.
Thanks
anyone else experiencing these problems?
I have all these issues and would love to find a fix for it...
Im using VeganTab Ginger Edition right now, when playing Hulu the video will get choppy but the audio plays fine
When this happens sometimes the video will simply stop playing or switch to a black screen
the video will stop everytime the show starts up again after a commercial
sometimes the commercials will even have the video stop playing
If I change the video quality, switch from 288 to 360 to 480 and between when the video stops playing or freezes the video will return
I recently switched to vegan-ginger 7.1. I have the pandora issue but have not tried hulu yet.
I think a lot of them are having the pandora issue but have not seen any fixes for it.
I got the issue after 7.1 also - initially not every other song but in an attempt to resolve the problem I installed latest version Pandora app. Now the symptoms have worsened and I have the same issue - every other song plays slowly.
I tried installing the Hulu app - it plays OK but low res. Netflix did play one movie fast motion, but I did not associate this with the pandora issue and did not look closely.I have not had a repeat. Crackle and Youtube seem OK also.
I tried same fixes as nyciz - NG. Will try factory wipe this w/e - but to be frank i'm kinda getting tired of messing with it. Has anyone found a music app that is as good as pandora that works on vegan 7.1?
Ok so I got my issue resolved but it was by loading the older Vegan 7.0.0
This isn't a true fix but I get hulu and Pandora working.
Caution, this version has issue with new market. I froze old market with TiBu to resolve.

I have heard it is GB... but i run GB on my SGS4G and have no issues with Pandora. I don't want to role back to the earlier Vegantab.
I had "fixed" it once, unfortunately, i don't remember what i did.. (big help i know) If i am not mistaken, i used a difference kernel with the Vegan ROM... I have since tried a few diff ones to to avail.
I guess either the devs don't see this as an issue, or they aren't having it. Pandora is HUGE for me, i use it all the time... would love to have it working on my Tab...but i lack the patients, time, and knowledge to try to find a fix... HELP US DEVS AND ALL YOUR AWESOMENESS!
Pandora Songs Playing Slow as Well
I have a Viewsonic GTablet running CyanogenMod 7, internet solely through wifi, and I'm experiencing the same issue. I thought at first that Pandora was running a slow version of the song but I was mistaken. The first song will play normal and whenever I skip to the next song, the new song will play fine but if I leave it alone, it will play slow. Netflix is the only other streaming app that I've used and it hasn't had this issue. I'm extremely new to the Android platform so any help would be highly appreciated.
It's a bummer since I love Pandora.
Like I said in my post, either no one who has the knowledge to fix it cares, or they simply aren't having the issue.

Same issue with Pandora
I'm having the same issue with Pandora playing every other song slowly. Currently running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1. If I go back to running 7.0.3 then the Pandora app works fine. I've gone back and forth several times. I've tried removing data and uninstalling the app, but when I reinstall I get the same problem. I had wondered if it were something with the renaming on the device from harmony to smb_a1002, so I tried to change the build.prop. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any where with the problem.
Any input or help that we can get would be greatly appreciated.
Had no issues running Pandora on non Ginger Vegan. Updated to 7.1 yesterday and am having the exact 'slowness' issues stated above.
Amazon Cloud player is NOT having any speed/slowness issues...
Regular device music/playlist plays fine.
Any fixes yet for Pandora??
Nope, no one seems to care...I sold my g-tab... lol

Ok guys and gals I think I found a fix:
I sideloaded the new pandora (not on market, just google it) Pandora 1.5.4 Black version. It seems to work fine with no slow down of the songs at least all day...will edit if it fails.
EDIT: AGGGHH it did it again I notice it works fine if you skip but if you let it naturally go to the next song it slows down. It was working fine earlier.......ok I give up....
Did not work for me either. Thanks for posting

I know for a fact that Pandora 1.5.14 works just fine on Vegan 7.0.0
Hi,
Last night I finally got the upgrade for ICS (sim-unlocked)
This morning I played some music and found UberMusic was ok except the artist pics on the Now Playing screen were wrong. I re-installed the app, and this fixed that problem, but now none of the home screen widgets work properly. The buttons will highlight when touched, but don't actually operate.
(Full screen operation does work properly though)
I've tried another re-install but it's not helped. I've tried using different launchers, including the developer's own LauncherPro, but they all have the same problem.
Has anyone else found the same problem, and found a fix?
I understand the developer (Federico Carnales) doesn't support his apps once they've been released, which is a pretty *****y way to go, but I have to say I haven't found anything better in look-and-feel (InstaMusic has horrid scrolling, PowerAmp not as clean and elegant)
Any suggestions of good alternative players, preferably with a similar Metro style and nice selection of different sized widgets would be welcome!
(Edit: As my post has been moved to the Q & A thread, I should add I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2, connected to O2 but unbranded)
Edit2: Well, blow me down with a spoon, it's only working again! I don't know whether it's the action of trying different music players, or switching temporarily back to TouchWiz, but the widgets work again. Yippee
Whilst you're reading this I might as well pass on my related experience: I've had a couple of irritating problems - a lot of my cover art has disappeared, and some of my albums have been split into two parts. Well, the cover art problem is fixable with Cover Art Downloader, and using MP3TagEdit on my pc in extremis... and the splitting of the albums? That occurred because some of the tracks had an 'album artist' set whilst others didn't. So blanking all those fixed it.
I hope the ubermusic developer will update it for ICS. The Bluetooth headphone play and pause buttons doesn't work. The rewind, forward, volume buttons works. Presently I need to play and pause directly using the app, and not the BT headphone button, it is a bit annoying. But I can live with it
The ubermusic developer (the same guy who created Launcher Pro) has been quiet for quite a long time now. Doubt he is actually going to update any of his apps.

I've run into a problem a couple of times with the YouTube app where you play a video and then close/switch to something else and the video keeps playing.
Checked with Advanced Task Killer and killed Youtube and all other apps, but the video sound keeps going.
Turned off the nook using the power button, screen closes but the sound from the video keeps going even when screen is asleep.
I checked services and shutdown all apps, and the sound from the video is still playing.
Its really odd. Only way to get the Nook to stop playing the video sound was to reboot the nook. Any ideas? Using latest cherry picks.
Thanks.
If you used titanium backup to install it, uninstall it. Download from the play store to install. I had the same problem, but this fixed it. Let me know if it worked for you

Will try and post back.
I have had this happen as well and it seems to be repeatable. At least for me. If the NT has been freshly booted I don't have any issues. If it has been up and running for several days and a lot of use it seems like a slow memory leak causing things to run slower and slower ultimately resulting in failure to properly close apps.
Sent from my CM 10 SD nook tablet. Thanks devs.
haven't had the issue crop up yet since reinstalling youtube from the store. Will know in a few days as the nook runs for a few more days for memory leak.
Hi Everybody,
I have actually spent some time looking for an answer around but without luck. I think since CM9 I can't sent the screen brightness in video players like MX Player, BS Player, Dice Player, ... I have the feeling it worked for me in later CM9, but I'm not 100 % sure. Anyway I have recently switched from CM10 to CM10.1, everything's quite fine except this obnoxious thing.
Does anyone know anything about this? I tried search here (XDA), video player forums, google, ... nothing.
Thanks!
[SOLVED] Signal lost, radio down. Can't get it back
Solved. It's a conflict with an application, in my case SwipePAD. It can be anything in your case of course, check mainly applications putting overlay over your screen.
Hello there.
I just bought the OPX and it's a great device (except for the camera, of course)
But I have this weird video player problem.
videos are lagging and stuttering everywhere! twitter, youtube, browser, anywhere! except if I used an external player like (mx player) it goes kinda smooth.
I tried to disable nuplayer (or enable it, I don't remember but I changed the default state ) and got to nowhere. Same thing.
I've came across some webpages of people having a similar problem, yet no one have offered a proper solution.
I'm on the latest OTA oxygen update, just bought my phone 3 days ago so I didn't even have time to mess around
really looking to fix this problem ASAP because it's annoying, VERY annoying.
May be reset will work out!
Do a factory reset, or replace the device to a new one!
I guess I would do a reset when I'm totally out of ideas.
any sugs?

Try Awesome Player in developer options
Blu-spark kernel really improve the experience with the OPX. But I still have this problem sometimes.
I noticed that it's not on all vids on the youtube app for ex. It should be related to the video format (of course, worse on 1080p) & codecs/encoding properties (VBR ou CBR) or the servers the video is on. My data speed transfer is not the issue on that.
Tried awesome player, nothing changed.

so what do you suggest beside changing the kernel?
