Here's a youtube video I posted that shows the issue. h t t p://youtu.be/F6ojmzPuOJQ (remove spaces from " h t t p"). Note at the 2:03 mark when I launch "Browser" the music stutters and also at 2:42 when I launch "Manage Applications" . Other little sound glitches are present when locking the screen. This seems to be an issue affecting a lot (if not every) Droid X2's. This is a bare bones stock, unrooted, OTA Gingerbread with no apps installed from the market whatsoever. Anyone else have this issue ?
Funny enough, I had zero issues with audio playback until Gingerbread. Now it pops and stutters, moreso when I'm doing things. Pre-rooted Gingerbread, with bloat cleaned off of it.
Official Response from Verizon.
“This happens on my phone too which is running Gingerbread. This is a known issue with Gingerbread. There’s a software update in the works to fix this.”
I explained that my Droid X did not have this problem nor did the Incredible that I had been using for the past few weeks. They said “that’s because the Incredible is running froyo.”
I asked why I was not told that there was an audio playback issue with the phone they sold it to me 2 days ago and they said it’s because “Gingerbread just came out.”
Finally I asked them to replace my phone which was 2 days old and defective and they said “there was nothing they could do for me because there is a software update in the works and any replacement phone will also be running Gingerbread and have the same issues”
They recommended I flash back to froyo which does not have the issue. I know for fact this is not true because I did do a full SBF back to froyo using the official Verizon signed SBF file and still had the issue.
So, this leaves a lot of unanswered questions:
How come if there is a software update in the works has there been no real acknowledgement that there’s an issue from Verizon or Motorola?
If this affects all Gingerbread phones how come there are so many users saying they do not have any issues with audio playback on their devices?
Has anyone else addressed Verizon directly about this issue and gotten a similar response?
You would think a software update to patch a known issue with audio playback on the Droid X2 would be fairly big news.
those of us who've been flashing roms and modding our phones for awhile realize that the devs and hackers do a much better job of creating roms and tweaks that work better than the manufacturer releases. *****ing to vzw or motorola will get you no where.
root the dx2, debloat and run zeps v6 supercharger scritp. all of your issues will go away.
your choice.
Issues don't go away rooted, debloated and supercharged. I've tried it all....even got a replacement x2 from verizon which SHOCKINGLY did the exact same thing. They refuse to acknowledge it's a problem and told me I can't expect perfection from my phone and that all phones have quirks that you have to live with......
fought and fought with them and the only thing I could get out of them was a downgrade to a fascinate (which the x2 replaced when my fascinate was missing calls and samsung had no idea what to do) I didn't have much trouble with music on it so I ended up taking it but the battery life on it with froyo sucks so it's far from a solution that makes me happy....

Try my scripts, let me know if they do or don't help. It's actually, yes, because of Motorola's blur s*&. Without blur our phones would be amazingly fast.

0vermind, I've installed your Init.d hack and your speedy scripts. Unfortunately, I still have audio skipping issues.
I had zero issues with audio skipping when I first got the phone. I was rooted and running the CorteX2 Rom on Froyo. I SBF'd and went to Gingerbread as soon as the Eclipse ROM was released. I ran it for a couple of days and ended up flashing back to CorteX2 because the audio skipping was terrible. Unfortunately, development has completely stopped (understandably) for Froyo.
I'm now running Eclipse v0.4 and the skipping still remains. I actually PM'd you yesterday about a possible fix, but I haven't heard back from you yet.
Looks like a never ending problem ....

And I now add a NEW issue.to audio problem
I just made a call. The ringback tone they had set started skipping when I was calling.
And no it wasn't a bad connection or signal. I have tested this a multiple locations with multiple calls to different numbers with ringback tones. Now this just seems way to ridiculous to me.
Can anyone confirm this also happens to them? I am very curious about this.since it isn't really streaming music.on 3gthe problem it can now be confirmed it os the x2 specific problem. And I think vzw should replace all our phones with a bionic if it works better and we want it lol
Now they either need to fix this wit an update or give us ALL 4gI phones hahahaha
Im nit joking about the skipping but I am sarcastic joking in some of this post....don't kill me
Ive had the same issues you guys have with the old X2 (new really). I went with old reliable and.. ive tried like hell to make it skip... opening browser, phone, xda forums app, etc... I cant get it to skip. no pops, no skips.. just music the way it was intended. No idea how you go about installing it. All i know is, I yanked it from my D1 and included it inmy theme I;ll be posting tomorrow sometime.

The main issue is, is this version of android. This 2.3.3 came out last year. Which means this thing is optimized for 1 core. We have 2. No matter how compatible a product is there are still issues and glitches if said os is not built for it. 2.3.3 was not built for dual cores. Since 2.3.4 and up were released when dual cores where being implemented there would be none of this. We have a junk os fw on a powerful device. Its like running win 95 and down on the latest computers there will be issues to hell. I never heard of these music skips for XOOM which is using tegra2 because honeycomb was built for dualcores. Its not surprising that we only have work a rounds and no real solution. We won't until we get a proper os fw on this thing.
To mitigate the worst of it:
Eclipse 0.2.2 (that's what im using and im not updating)
V6 noop script
V6 supercharger update 8 setting 9
98kickasskerneltweaks.
Out of 85 songs while doing nothing and just listening to music in mp3 format with 128-320 quality setting only 1-3 songs skips the rest play without hick ups. And when I open the web browser for the first time it skips and then runs fine on most websites (the ones I frequent don't skip but I can't say not all will). I don't get skipping with xda's or droidforums apps like I used to get.
I suspect that once we get 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 it will be gone. The bionic is coming out with 2.3.4 for a reason. But hopefully someone will buy it and test out music. I just wish the bionic was tegra2 with 2.3.4 cause then we would have a definite answer that it out is for sure this os fw ver. But either way I beloved it is the os. Im about 90% sure it is. Cause its deffinitly not handling the second core right and I find it hard to believe that 3 months after release and there are still deffective tegra2s out there which is why I don't think its the chipset. But they moved away cause of the badpress because they (motor) was inept at getting us a proper os on the phone that is built for not compatible but actually designed to run dual cores.

Thanks for the tip. Just tried it & it skips for me though. I'm on the stock GB rom, rooted with one-click & running naven's latest build.prop & init.d tweaks. Strangely enough, the stock music player performs the best for me.

I guess I should have stated what I am running... Rooted GB with Eclipse 0.5 ROM. Ive made no edits to build.prop or anything else. Only edits on my phone would have been implemented by Eclipse. Not running any superchargers or anything else. (Unless they were built into Eclipse)
Basically, stuff that wasn't advertised. So far I see:
1.) the hissing in the audio seems to be pretty much gone, which is awesome
2.) they added the battery meter thing into the "power" menu
3.) when synced to facebook, peoples birthdays are no longer a day earlier than they really are in the People app..they're the right date now!
------
to be tested:
1.) see if they got rid of the clicks/pops of the video camera (going to try to do a guitar video tomorrow to test) ****TESTED and they still have NOT fixed this. the audio is still god awful.
anyone else notice anything cool that wasn't advertised?
realllllllly? nobody noticed anything else? lol
Everyone else is rooted and still figuring out how to get the OTA! lol.
Seriously, if I'm not mistaken, those that are rooted and go right back to their nand, like I'm about to do, won't see the changes except the radios and hboot version.
EDIT: Restored my nand of Ineffabilis and I still see the 5 bars, I see the battery level indicator but not in the "power" menu, in the "About phone > battery" menu. I hope that means the calendar date thing is fixed too since I'm about to break down and sign up on Facebook.
lol nice nice..yeah, i'm not rooting it yet. the phone is working 100% how i want it to, and i don't feel like rooting and throwing roms on there..when i rooted the Inc, i went through a new rom like every week, and i can't keep doing that to myself lol

Ack! They still didn't fix that compression distortion in the audio track? Damn, thats like the only reason I rarely ever record video on this thing. I wish they would fix that. It makes it sound like s**t. The other day I tested the video after I bolted on a quiet muffler on my car. In the video, I can still hear that compression noise very loudly, even with a quiet exhaust sound. Dohhhhh come on htc.....
yeah im gonna keep hitting them up until something gets fixed lol... either way, I bit the bullet and rooted lol so hopefully the devs can work on it now

Has anyone had a problem with the music app? It's no big deal but sometimes it locks-up and won't open unless I turn the phone off and turn it on again.
Skype wants to use earpiece for audio now rather than speaker on video calls. Not sure how to change it, but, it also means I can do a video call with my Bluetooth headset which is kind of nice. I tried this before the update and it didn't work.

Because we can still boot into WebOS. I started thinking about all the folks complaining about what doesn't work on their Touchpad, and thought about someone who comes to the forums and might be afraid to flash because they'll lose the camera, or youtubeHD, or HuluPlus and just thought I'd remind folks that rebooting into WebOS is easier than some of the crazy work arounds people are trying. It's actually pretty amazing to be able to do what we do. Most phones that get an Alpha ROM with lots of bugs, have to deal with all of it......we can just boot back into WebOS and all is well.........so, Play with CM9, enjoy some apps and games, and the fun that it is, then boot into WebOS and watch a movie, or skype with your mom.........it's a GREAT friggen tablet!
So what doesn't work in CM9? I put CM7 on my tablet yesterday and the wifi not working and failing to connect all the time is driving me nuts. Almost to the point where I might just sell this thing.
Don't be foolish. There are threads 'aplenty dealing with and solving the wifi issue. Typically, it is caused by other routers near you using the same channel and changing your routers channel will solve the problem.
But if you are really so ticked off you want to sell, how much are you asking and is it a 32 or 16gb?

Lower the channel on your wifi router. Not sure what the bug is but that fixed it for me. (Iirc I had 11 or something, now 4 - works fine)

hd video is pretty much the only issue i ever have.
for me its skype. It's great to be able to boot to WebOS to video chat, but the WebOS skype program doesn't do landscape for some reason, only portrait - which is exceedingly dumb since the official case stands the touchpad up in LANDSCAPE

That only works if you can access the router. Kinda hard to do that at other businesses.
Will have to give CM9 a shot and see if it is any better.

So which Rom do I install for cm9. On cm7 now. Can i backup cm7 with cwm like I do on Epic and restore it later?
What's everyone getting all riled up for? The original thread said nothing specifically about wifi, and just stated about how nice it is to have a dual boot system. And what doesn't work in android does in WebOS. Why all the negative ninnies here ?

I guess I don't understand the title. Cm9 everything works.
Netflix doesn't work. But at least change the title to represent this subject right. Maybe choose: between cm9 AND webOS, everything works (except netflix)
Just a thought. Ur title lures people in thinking that cm9 updated so everything works. And that isn't the case at all.
Just a friendly reminder.

hardware acceleration works since alpha 0. Hardware decoding hasn't worked so far. you can turn off hardware acceleration in browser to see the difference. don't be disappointed, this is the fastest we can get.

I read this on Dalingin's Twitter. I guess I meant video codecs. The performance is great, I just want Netflix and HD Youtube.
Put on the alpha 0.6 after wiping with CWM. Works great. Wifi connects with no issues unlike CM7.
I keep seeing posts about HD video playing for Youtube and Hulu not working. I assume if I copied a bunch of HD movies onto it for travel they will have issues and general video playing would suck up battery life. Is hardware decoding in the works? Does CM7 suffer the same issue?
As far as video playback goes, I've been using arc media tab player. Using the regular. Avi files with very little problems. Its been great while on vacation and on the long flight.
I flashed nils business sense 2.8 sense 4 last week. It runs awesome, I love it. However since then all of a sudden, all the pics I have taken since the flash are no longer there. I even plugged the phone into the computer and they are gone. have accepted that many of my pics are gone. (I do have drop box, so that alleviates some of the missing pics)
I cannot get the kindle app to run. It works on my gtab, so I know it's not me. But I open it, select the book I am reading,and it comes right back to my home screen. I have in installed and installed a few times, deregistered it on amazon and reregistered it as well. Just frustrating that it's not working at all.
My last frustration is with the profiles, I have the phone on vibrate, yet it still rings, not good for work lol.
I even tried wiping everything and reflashing the entire Rom.
Any help would be great.

Sound like your having bad flash problem, the pictures sound like they got erased when you flashed the Rom.. try reflashing everything with a complete double wipe (cache,dalvik,factory,and system)As for kindle its been known not to work on alot of the sense 4 roms released lately as well as adobe.. I'm sur there will be a fix eventually.. as for the sound profiles I believe theirs more than one way to control your sound I.e. settings, quick. Settings, tweaks.. play with them all you might have one all the way up and the other down.. I hope any of this helps you..

Hello people, I am unrooted and have enjoyed my ATRIX 4g even though I have been stuck with the final ginger bread ota release at&t gave us and have waited patiently for the promised ota ICS upgrade which they now posted we will not get, I am aware that there is a Leak Test ICS that is buggy, and have been mods made or provided over here by your awesome developers bringing our devices up to JB level even, but am a fan of the functioning camera and finger print biometrics personally. I am a noob as far as Android rooting but very tech savvy and with devices and software in general, every app I have wanted to use has been great on this phone regardless of what version it was made for until today... I am quite into photo editing and have a ton of photo edit apps and engage in IG a bit, we as the underdogs over at IG were always fighting to make our tweaks and edits look as good as an Iphone edit mainly because they had an app called Snapseed, I was very pleased. When I read google had purchased this app drom NIK software a month ago and today it was finally released for Android, I went to Google Play and it for the first time ever said this app is not compatible with your device, it needs 4.0 or above in other words ICS, now my main question here is if I did root flash a mod similar to ICS or the unstable leak version will Google play still just see the signature of my phone and not allow a download or if I was running a new os would it get around that issue, I did also write the developer but doubt they are too concerned about making the app backward compatible as Google also purchased Motorola and offer a mere $100.00 towards upgrading to a different moto phone and I love this ine and do not have the money at the noment to do so.. any advice would be greatly appteciated, as to a a suitable os and whether or not it would even allow us Atrix 4g users to download Snapseed if our phone is recognized by its name and autodetection by googlr play tegardlrss of os, I mean it's a fast phone I've had no problems, everything works, dual core, good ram, speed stirage etc.. thanks Stu
Shows up fine on EPinter's CM10. Market just checks what version of Android your device is using. I haven't installed it to check, but will be doing so shortly. I'll get back to you about how it fairs on our devices.
Edit: After about 10 mins of playing around, it's running pretty well. No noticeable lag whatsoever. Kinda regret paying for PicSay Pro since this one seems to have a simpler UI.

Thanks very much sir, I will now have to look into this EPinter's CM10 and learn the whole process and hopefully not brick my phone, I'm good with directions, does the CM10 have a working camera and fingerprint scanner, and can I save my whole phone image if it all went south? I also paid for PicSayPro and many others too, love graphic arts and photography so the cam although only 5mp is important at times.
Anyway thanks very much yet again for the info.
No problem. Yes, you should make a nandroid backup once you have a custom recovery. It is one of the recommended steps followed by an exclamation mark. =P The only thing lacking on EPinter's CM10 is video camera (related to missing HWA due to improper kernel source) Regular camera works fine for still shots. I use camera fx & camera 360, both work without any issues. And No, the fingerprint scanner doesn't work since it's not a part of CM source.
There is an unofficial, "official" ICS (ICSROM & ATRICS) that has proper HWA with video camera and fingerprint scanner but the battery life is terrible and the phone gets really hot. I personally had random restarts every few minutes.EPinter's CM10 does well as a daily driver, but if you're going to go through the trouble, might as well try all the roms available! =D

Thanks very much for this info, I will research these downloads, I watched a youtube vid of cm10 and looked good, seems the Atrix is a bit more of a pain to work with than other Androids but will look into the whole process of unlocking and fastboots and the nanandroid back up etc.
Greatly appreciate the help.

Yes, the Atrix is a pain compared others, but once rooted with a custom recovery (IMHO RomRacer's custom CWM 5.0.2.7 is the best, never had issues) it's just like any other device. Heck, I remember flashing 3-4 ROMs a day, it was insane! =P
I would recommend downloading Titanium Backup from the market as well. It will help you quickly backup your most used apps w/ data/settings and reinstall them after installing a new ROM. Good luck and have fun.
P.S. Thanks for Snapseed!
