PowerAMP skipping - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hey all,
I am a die-hard PowerAMP user... i tried them all and this one IMO is the best. However, i recently installed the most current build from the market and i'm getting some random skipping. I never used to have this issue - not sure if it's the version or what. it will skip all by itself even when no other apps are running with 400MB of free RAM. This is the first time i ever used the "buffer" options and the "audio Thread priority +1" and they don't seem to be making it any better.
update: 3/27** installed older 2.0.5-build-443 and i haven't had any skipping issues as of yet.

I too am I avid poweramp user and I also experience these problems. I have yet to determine the cause yet. Im leaning more toward the possibility of the latest build of the software though. Gonna load it onto my other devices later today.

I use power amp on a daily basis and so far have experienced no problems with it. It might be because my music is from an external SD card and not the actual notes memory!

I too have this issue. I was thinking it was RAM related but it doesn't seem to be. All my music is stored on an external SD as well. It did it when they were stored on the Note directly too. Hopefully it is an issue that can be fixed on PA side. Maybe I'll try playing through the stock music app and see if it continues.

Anyone try to revert to an older version to see if skipping persist?

No skipping here on the stock rom with power amp pro. I'm running off a Class 10 card.

Skips on my 32gb class 10, but only sporadically. Some days it does it a lot, other days not at all. Haven't found any rhyme or reason to it.

No idea if this matters but I have a skipping problem with Google music.
Running saurom.

No issues with power amp.
Class 4 16gb.
All kinds of formats from mp3 to flac

Poweramp works fine for me too. Try/download the build 488 from their website, that's the one I use. No external SD card here.
Edit : nervermind it's exactly the same version than in the playstore.

Ok. When I owned a htc desire hd, music skipping and cutting out was always a kernel problem. I have just figured out my solution For poweramp...settings...advanced tweaks...buffer size to large. Also change audio thread priority to +1
Been playin for 8 hours at work with no skipping.
Hope this helps.

This helped for my Desire HD. I have a 16GB class 4 and it doesn't skip, but this should fix it for everyone.

Read up on the cards. Most people think class 10 is the best but class 4 is faster at random read and write speeds.

I have that card. I've had to return it once since it just magically died one day in my OG Evo. Probably didn't help that I flashed ROMs daily. If you have problems with the card, Wintec will take several weeks to send you a new one. Definitely good for large file transfers as mentioned above.

I also have this card and have had it corrupt once. I reformatted it and it is fine. The write speeds are always right around 10 MB/s. And the read speeds sit at about 18-20 Mb/s. So if u backup you card regularly and don't mind possibly having to reformat it then go for it.
I've Went through two they suck the rep said anything higher than a class 4 would keep crapping out on android phones its on the website same with kingston

i had that card in my OG Evo and aside from an occasional reformat, it worked pretty good. I put it in my 3VO and BOOOOM... it died and wouldn't recover... I say for the 3VO, use at your own risk.
I need one exactly for theses reasons like music, photos and apps. So I guess a class 4 is better.

I've had two of them, one in EVO, one in EVO shift, and their 32gb class 10 is in my 3d. No issues ever. 32gb gives maybe 15mbs write and closer to 25-30 read.

I've had that same card for over 6 months now and no problems whatsoever. I use it in my Asus Transformer for extra storage now, but used it in my OG Evo for a while and in my NS4G. Like I said never a problem for me. I do remember the thread on the OG evo board and a lot of folks did have problems though.

[Q] Issues with Photon and music/audio applications (Pandora, Google Music)

After the OTA update, my photon has generally been performing very well. I had the silent call/no audio issue before, but they seem to have gone away completely since the update. I only experience the "random" reboot issue when I am using music/audio applications such as Pandora and Google music.
Also, if I am listening to music using Pandora and I turn the phone from portrait to landscape (and vice versa), the audio pauses/stutters with each rotation. If I do this enough, I can usually get the phone to lock up and reboot eventually.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
I was having hanging issues with Pandora have you got the update That came out today it has been fine since I downloaded that

Are you talking about the MR5 update that came out earlier in the week? I have downloaded that and am still experiencing the issue
No there was a Pandora update that came out yesterday from the market also make sure your phone is set to automatic for the network settings and on high performance for battery settings or it can do weird stuff
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I notice the phone stutters in pretty much everything I do outside of the music app. If I start messing with settings while it's playing it stutters over and over. I also notice that the music player and music widget don't play well with each other. I can be playing music in the app and on my homescreen the widget doesn't even show what I am playing and just sits blank. I am really starting to see some bugs with the software on this phone.

Thanks. The update seems to have fixed the stuttering issue for me. I'll see if I get any more lockups/freezes over the next few days
I spoke too soon. After about 10 minutes on pandora, the stuttering came back. I wonder if this is an android issue or a photon specific problem

Yea I see this stuttering too.. used to happen on my Evo OG when I was using bluetooth stereo headphones and came into a building where my wifi knew the password. After the first update on that phone it was fixed.
I notice if I disable wifi it fixes the stuttering issue on the photon as well... but on the photon it happens whenever my wifi finds something in range, even if the phone doesn't have a connection to the wifi. After a while it seems to stop, like the hardware requests more resources and settles it.. but it is still quite annoying.
You can also get root explorer and change it in the build.prop

Definitely considering trading my Photon in for the Epic 4G Touch when it comes out on the 19th. Not only do I get the reboots while streaming but I also get the stuttering as you have mentioned...doesn't matter what the signal level is. Sometimes Last FM and Pandora will not play at all on this phone.

Rezound ICS and music

Hi guys. Couple questions please. I know some might be answered already but I have too hard a time searching for this and finding exactly what I need. So I'd really appreciate some help.
What do you do for getting ICS stock on the Rezound?
How could I backup my Rezound so I could make it factory image etc?
What quality is Google music streaming? I uploaded mp3 320k sound file. But when streaming it, it sounds like crud. This is even with always use high quality mode. It sounds to me like maybe 64k only.
Thanks.

1. If you want AOSP (stock) ICS on your Rezound, then go to this link. This is assuming you know how to flash a custom rom.
2. Well you can do Nandroid backups in recovery to backup your device. I recommend you use AmonRa. But getting it back to factory image (GingerBread) is a bit difficult, since most of the ICS roms out there update your mainversion from 1.xx.xxx.xx whatever it is to 3.10.605.13. If you try to go from ICS to a nand backup of a GB rom, you'll get an error. Go to this link to fix your mainversion and afterwards, you can then go back to stock GB.
3. I have no idea what quality Google Music is streaming since I don't use it myself. If you don't like the quality of the music, but like streaming music, then I recommend you use GrooveShark. The quality of the music is great.
Hope I helped!
Thanks.
What is AOSP?
Aren't there any senseless stock ICS fully working fine for the Rezound?
I'm lost a bit with how complex this might be.

AOSP is Android Open Source Project and we dont have any yet because we dont have a working ICS kernel yet. The one he linked you to is as close to stock ICS as we can currently get but it still has some sense framework to get it to work.

Technically it doesn't matter, the OS will scan all of the folders on the SD for music files. To exclude a folder, put a empty file named .nomedia in it.
I saved for offline some songs from my Google music. Found the folder and copied it to ext sdcard folder its named music with 5 .mp3 files.

Doesn't matter anymore as I just returned the Rezound. Didn't like something about the screen and I guess I prefer stock ICS over sense which looks the same since 1.0 and 4.0 sense will look the same too. Shame on HTC for not updating the GUI.

I think those songs can only be viewed by the google music app, pretty sure the same applies to amazon music. They are probably drm'd.
When you upload your own music to Google they dont turn around and drm it when you want to save for offline use.I dont think.

So you bought a nexus.
Eeer, didn't you just return a nexus or was that somebody else??
Yep I got the nexus yesterday. I'm getting used to it slowly.
I got the rezound. Then iPhone 4s. Then nexus. Then rezound. Now I have nexus.
Each time I ran into issues. Now with nexus I'm better but notice something I need to check on.
I liked the rezound except for this thing I talked about on the screen. It bothered me. Plus I realize I am kind of bored with sense and wanted to try something different.

Does Verizon have a direct line into your bank account.. $35 every 2 weeks??? Is it worth switching phones that often rather than sticking with one and dealing with the issues.??
Haha. Verizon having a direct link to my bank account.
Umm all this has been in the span of around 2 weeks. Not 2 weeks for each.
Some stuff us just a mental thing like I won't be comfortable or relaxed when something is on my mind. It's one issue I have to deal with in my life. I won't be at ease if something is bothering and about something even if its to some people a small issue.
The iPhone screen I think still is the best one out. But its too damn small. Plus ios is too closed and limited. There's no proper text reflow in WWW browser and not many free apps I would be interested in.
The Rezound stuff I notice on the screen bothers me. As does the weight using the extended battery. It's not ICS stock fully stable. I like the ear buds. I like the screen except for that stuff I see.
The nexus is bigger screen. ICS. Ear buds are nice. Light. But I also notice similar stuff on its screen kind of lime on the Rezound.
If I could I would take the iPhone 4s screen and make it 4.3" minimum. Take the ICS from nexus. Take the ibeats ear buds from the Rezound. Radio and 4G from Rezound. Speaker from iPhone or Rezound. Weight from nexus. Cpu from Rezound.

Another Android noob question......

Ok so see if anyone can figure this out:
While listening to music on Poweramp, the songs play ok but every once in a while, they stutter or skip like a broken record played real fast and stuck on one part of the song.
Is this a RAM issue? Something else causing a conflict that is using too much memory?

Ext sd card mount/unmount

I have been running MeanBean for about a month now. I use the lockscreen wake lag when running his rom. For the ppl not familiar with this mod it keeps the phone from going into deep sleep. While running MeanBean I never encountered the problem of my ext sd remounting when I unlock my phone. About an hour ago I switched to bean build 12 that allows my phone to go into deepsleep. Now some of the time when I unlock my phone it remounts the ext sd card. I know Alot of ppl have been having issues with the SanDisk 32gb cards. I think by not allowing the phone to deepsleep the issue could be resolved. This is just my personal experience and not trying to step on any toes. What do yall think?
