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

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.

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.

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.
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.

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

Works great until you actually try and play a song. Its really, really smooth. Anyone else have any luck getting it to play songs?
Edit: Songs work when selecting "Shuffle All". Love the new additions.
Did they add the ability to "thumb up/thumb down" a track from the app?

I love it! It's working fine on my Galaxy S II but on my Tab, like OP stated, if I try to play a song, I get a force close
I'm using 3.1, non TW.
BTW: I tried using the app both in /system/app/ (got Force Closes) and also installed it "regularly" (still force closes). Such a pity. I really like how it works on my phone. Was looking forward to using it on my Tab. If anyone figures out how to get it to work, please let us know!
Working when shuffeling songs...otherwise not.
DEVS - thats your call!
P.S - Search Working, you can find your songs and play them, if you like.
force closes for me on stock HC. shame...
It's built for ICS. Getting it to work properly on HC would involve complete reconstruction of system files. A difficult feat indeed.
strange: works on my 2.3.7 cyanogenmod 7.1 Nexus One
forcecloses after a while on my Galaxytab 10.1 with Honeycomb 10.1.
Works flawless on my Droid 3 (XT860) but since I'm in Canada it won't sync with Music Beta any more
EDIT
Works now, had to kill the service and re-clear app data, love it! And yes millemots, they added thumbs up/down

I rock the Music 4 app, never have a skip, ever. I didn't have any skipping issues on Music 3 on 2.3.4 either though. Where is your music? Stored on your SD card? Or are you using some app like Pandora, or Google Music Beta? I only use Beta.

Is music4 the ics one from this forum?
Yessir it is. Much nicer UI IMO, no issues at all for me, so far.
I just got the Music 4 app but I experienced a few skips so I just went back to cubed music player. The Music 4 looks really nice but it would be great if they had a locked screen control like cubed or winamp.
The Music 4 app looked nice but didn't play nice with my music. It would group everything with "Greatest" or "Best" under one random artist. Doesn't do that on computer or other music apps so I had to use Music Player Pro.
What do you mean? Do you have a bunch of songs titled Track 1.. etc with no artist/album info?
The only thing that has helped my music skipping was choosing option 9 in the V6 Supercharger script. Before now I had only tried options 5, 6, and 7 because that's what it suggested and none of them worked. I chose option 9 and there is almost no skipping and the phone is much faster than it used to be.

I haven't tried any other roms. I like the stock rom enough to keep using it instead of another rom except for the stock launcher. I think the stock launcher is to sluggish so I use Go Launcher. I prefer to change things on my phone as little as possible when it's doing what I want it to do. And right now it's running better than it ever has before. I've never tried Music v4 either. I've used Mixzing, Power Amp, and the stock player and all used to skip. Mixzing is the only one I really use.

I really feel this has to be an issue isolated to music stored on SD or Device. Streaming music on Music v3 and v4 from Google Music Beta I never ever have any skips or lags.

I must disagree with this.
I have had skips streaming slacker and pandora. And what really confused me was when I also get skips using FM radio. (And it wasn't static. It skipped and stuttered the same as my stored music)

I think it has more to do with how the tegra handles memory whenever the second core has to fire up. I think the dx2 was the test case for dual-cores & they must've learned that 512mb of ram really runs too tight for much multitasking. If you notice, the whole industry learned from this cuz I doubt you'll find any dual-core available today with less than 1gb of ram. This is just my opinion of things tempered by a little experience with this phone.

Very true. When I got this phone and later found out the ram was 512 I was confused. It would be really nice if there was a way to add in more ram like u can do with a computer pull it apart. Add in a few micro chips or whatever and be good to go lol

I wonder if it would be possible to write a script that runs at boot that converts part of the internal storage to be used as ram. Somehow make a ram partition on the SD card maybe.

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!
