I don't know if I am just setting this up wrong but so far I have tried:
Energy Blue
Energy stock
Android revolution
stock
jelly bean fusion
and all the them slacker don't work right.
Just hangs on songs randomly after about 2 songs and won't go any further.
Are there any roms that have this working correctly?
Anyone?

It was figured out in another thread... You have to set your min processor frequency higher. If its to slow then the app will act weird when the screen is off and the phone deep sleeps

Yeah I saw that guys post too and posted there.
set mine not to go below the 400 range one and still had the same issues with no change.
Yeah, I've noticed this too. I've got a ticket open with Slacker. I noticed this right after the update to ICS, Slacker stopped working. Slacker customer service sucks, big time. Tons of reviews on Google Play say it hangs after a couple songs. It hung with stock after ICS update, stock after ICS update in safe mode, the 3.2.2047 hangs, and even the just released 3.2.2058 (which is supposed to fix connectivity issues), still hangs.
I've had two tickets open with slacker, one a couple months ago, and it took forever to get them convinced it wasn't my WiFi. I told them on the same connection, I could sit and watch Netflix all day. It's clearly a problem with their app. I wouldn't care so much if I didn't like the service so much.
I've given the app a single star review along with my several trouble tickets.
It's inexcusable for the app to not work, since it's a bundled app.

Hey,
I just picked up a new HTC Rezound from Amazon and it arrived today. It's crazy but I'm noticing the same Audio/Video out of sync problem with Youtube that I did w/ my HTC Droid Incredible. To be fair I do a lot of video editing so perhaps I'm more perceptive to this than some but it's clearly off by at least .250sec (Video ahead of audio). This is happening in both the youtube app and flash through the stock browser.
When I first got my Incredible two years ago I had the same problem. After rooting and using different roms/kernels it became less noticeable w/ certain combinations. However I became content with not really using my phone to watch videos just for fun. Having a phone that could play youtube properly was one of the main things I was excited about w/ this upgrade to the Rezound. Turns out it's clearly worse than my Incredible rooted w/ OMFGB and Chad's Kernel.
This is occurring right after taking it out of the box and using WIFI. Haven't even activated the phone yet as Verizon needs confirmation from a family member who's in FL (and asleep - I'm in CA). I'm surprised I can't find one other thread about this.
Anyone else notice this at all? I don't see how this could be a "bad phone" issue. I do plan on rooting so perhaps after removing the bloatware it'll be better. Really hope someone can reassure me......

Just happened to notice this watching the new Busta Rhymes video on the Market Place. It's annoying as he'll.

How long have you had your Rezound? Has it worked fine w Youtube before? Perhaps they're having an issue (hopefully).
I'm a big youtuber....
I noticed it before but thought it was the. Video or my connection. I've been watching "Drunk History" since my last post and all but one episode was synced properly. Go check it out...... If anything you'll laugh your ass off a little.
So for me it's not consistent.
I was using Wifi by the way.

The new update broke YouTube again for me. The issue I am having is constant buffering on the YouTube app while using the "hd " setting. Right now I am on .13, before I was on .11 and still had that issue. When I upgraded to .11.1 it fixed the YouTube buffering issue and now that I am on .13 I have that issue again . Gary can this please be addressed.
I can't have the upgrade yet (ww version here .11) and youtube was broken too. Yesterday, Youtube gave me an error every time I opened it. Today, youtube works but slowly, very slowly.
My tf201 is not upgraded so it is not upgrade's fault.
Please, use the search engine before posting
It seemed like on ".11.1" they fixed youtube, not on .11. Now on .13 it seems like youtube is broken again. Also I ran a speed test and i am getting worse speed with .13 then i was using .11.1. I have a 40M connection down. On .11.1 i was getting around 5Mb now i am getting about 3M. My upload speed doesnt seem to be affected because it is getting 5M.
I don't think its the update. My Droid x is having issues aswell. (On same wifi connection) so its probably a YouTube server issue.

This is a YouTube back-end server issue that Google has been working on for two days. It happens on every ICS device I have tried with the stock browser. You will probably see this up and down availability for the next couple of days from YouTube. Any coincidence that it started occurring when they rolled out the last version of Chrome.
Just tried and no issues here runs smooth

Yeah, I concur.
From what I've read here and there, it would seem that Google is aware of the issue, and this doesn't necessarily pertain to our latest update on the TFP.
However, that is not to say that I want to quit pointing the finger at ASUS for my issues on this particular piece of hardware.
I think it's just habitual and somewhat human of us to immediately associate all issues with the hardware manufacturer.

I also had issues with youtube flickering and making it difficult to search. I just tried restoring youtube in Titanium and then reinstalled it from Titanium, selecting "App only" instead of "App plus data" and all seems well so far
edit - uninstall then reinstall using titanium
Its not the back end its the way the YouTube app buffers. It buffered correctly in 11.1 but not in the new update. It seems like its not caching. Properly
Been running the lastest update for a few days now and maybe its me but this last update didn't fix anything. Yes it gave us the option to get rid of 3 dot menu but that is simply a cosmetic thing. My phones seems to run exactly the same as before update, programs still reload when I try to "multitask" back to them, WiFi still loses connection for no apparent reasons and I'm still getting 3G dropouts. Just trying to see if anyone actually saw any improvements.

Didnt it also free up some memory and display it differently? Since Im a flashoholic and change roms like women (I wish) I have noticed smoother performance across the boards. When I was on the old base Id get occasional stutters but with this new base every ROM including stock its way smoother than the older base and mine sleeps better than before.
You won't ever fully get rid of the multitasking issues until you get rid of Sense. I have been running CM10 for about 2 weeks now and couldn't be happier. No more Sense, the phone is like a completely different creature. It runs the way it's supposed to now.

WiFi issue I believe may have something to do with what chip is being used, because I had no issues with the EVO 4G WiMax, but have had issues with my old iPhone 3gs and EVO LTE. Connected with IP Address, but no transmitting data. Have to flip WiFi on and off to reset.
Using Airlink 101 AR670W with custom Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) std
On the 3G dropouts, I noticed it drop out about every 30 minutes (not moving, connected to IRC channel)
It fixed hotmail sync, that is the biggest fix I have noticed.

Did you install the new firmware? The radio was a major fix. Also, Sense 4.1 is about 80mb smaller than 4.0. Freeing up alot of memory. I experience no lag at all on the new base. Not that I hold much stock in quadrant scores but on the old base my scores were around 5000 but the new base I have scores around 6000. My phone flies now with no lag and no overclocking with awesome battery life.

On the original firmware I was sure there had to be some kind of memory leak, the phone just kept running low. Instead of trying to figure out if there was, I unlocked and jumped ship so I never confirmed. Really, I would not be surprised if it was something to be patched
Just returned from taking care of my bill at a corporate sprint store in Detroit Michigan area, and brought up concerns about issues since jb was released. Before I was able to tell my personal issues since the update the couple techs that were at the front door greeting/mingling with customers, told me they have been notified that a patch is being worked on for the Bluetooth, navigation, proximity sensor, wifi and various glitches others have been reporting. This was all said before I even mentioned those issues that myself and others on this forum have brought up. They've even been instructed to stop doing replacement handsets for people with the issues. So to me it sounds like the issues have been noticed/verified finally and HTC/sprint may be releasing something soon. Sounds legit considering the tech's themselves named off the issues and seemed to know a bit about the problems without me saying anything. Figured I'd pass on this tidbit of info and hopefully it becomes a reality.
Update 01/11 called HTC and they have a bulletin that's been sent out that proximity sensor was specifically being worked on (news for stock users at least)..the nav issue the guy said wasn't a for sure thing because it might be a google dropping the ball thing/capatability issue

I have to flash back to an ics rom then back to jelly bean while wiping as little as possible just to get mhl-hdmi adapter to work. And sometimes at that. Most of the time I have to reset the phone 3 times, unplug, plug in cable to phone. It just blows balls! I am about to just go back to ics and stay there. Jelly bean or at least this iteration of it sucks. Not to mention the worse battery life? Why are we excited about jb anyway? It looks good and sounds nice, but it is just like its abbreviation (jb) jailbait!
Does anyone else agree with me or are you all on the google strain of bud? Here's my list of issues over ics: Battery hog! Mhl-hdmi previously mentioned, New usb connection manager screwed my car audio. Have to update busybox everytime I reset just so root explorer displays remaining space in sd card.
I will quit my rant now though I guess. No one at sprint or htc or most the people here even give a rats **** about these issues because i obviously must be a noob who cant wipe and flash a rom properly or my phone has issues so I must be retarded or something. Tired of those attitudes on xda. But thats another topic. Good day to u all!
I updated to JB and I don't have any of the issues you are talking about. After hearing some of your experiences I think I will wait until a patch comes out to update my wife's phone.
I like JB on this phone. Google now is a welcome feature. Initially I experienced shorter battery life, but after adjusting the settings in Google Now I would say my battery life went back to normal or possibly even better than before.
The one thing I don't like about JB is the in scrolling background, but all the pluses more than make up for it.

I turned off any cards that would frequently update.
Ex. Traffic, weather and nearby places
I can't say for sure that these consume extra battery, but ever since adjusting the settings my battery has been performing well.
It's currently at 50% after 12h 36m off the charger with medium use.
I wish they would just fix this dam Proximity Sensor. I hate my calls hanging up when it touches my face and how it wont show the screen when I wish to hang up.
The CM10 proximity fix woked for me.
[MOD] [CM10] Proximity Sensor Fix
I tested using Proximity Sensor Finder before and after. Before nothing happened, after it went from 9 to 0 when covered.
I've seen all those issues the MeanBean Thread.
All 4.1 JB Devices Broke Bluetooth Voice Dial. As far I know only 4.2 fixes it.
I'd be really impressed if Sprint released 4.2 let alone any update.
I posted a [MOD] in the development section to get Cyberon to be the Default when you click the bluetooth button and it works great, better than it ever has and no longer relies on the Network. And I'm nolonger forced to keep my contacts in gmail. I prefer keep them only in my work's ExchangeMail account.
Nav has worked for me so far but I have not used it too heavily.
As far as Bluetooth Reliability during a Call JB is MUCH better. ICS would drop bluetooth headset as I passed WIFI HotSpots.
WIFI has been an issue on this device since day 1. JB release doesn't seem much better or worse, but it does seem different, but usable for me. I've had it get stuck once and would not let go of WIFI as I drove away, which jams the whole phone up until you shut WIFI off.
The Proximity Sensor seems to be a calibration issue. My guess is the OTA update might have accindentally wiped each devices calibration or something. You can recalibrate it. The default cal works for people. I have not had the issue or it's not a big enough issue for me to care.
Well I can verify after getting a couple refurbs because of the jb updates/roms having nav crashes (first refurb to replace my new launch date phone being a launch date activated one with nav crashes and faulty strip in touchscreen), I finally have one that the navigation works flawlessly on so far with several jb Roms I tried....the refurb date on this phone was in December with no usage/data etc....and I was the first to activate the phone (maybe damaged casing on phone etc and never was sold)...so the pattern of newer built elte's seems to be a pattern...at least for me...it was a battle to get a working phone but paid off in the end...

OK so I've had my HOX+ for about a month having moved on from the Apple empire and for the most part I love the phone. There are a few annoying things I've noticed and after much time searching forums, contacting HTC and all that jazz haven't found a good answer yet. So I figured I'd just try asking and getting some opinions here. My disclaimer is that I'm still 100% stock and not quite ready to dive into root and custom ROMs yet
Issue #1 - that damn BT call audio issue - Has anyone found a fix for the BT issue so everyone I talk to in my car doesn't sound like they are talking with their phone in their mouth? I spent a week working with HTC on this and all I ever got was the standard "we're sorry to hear about your issue, working to resolve, blah blah blah"
Issue #2 - I've recently noticed a issue with audio pausing and the phone being slow to respond from unlock when playing music. PowerAmp seems to be the worst culprit but I've noticed this a little with Double Twist also. I've tweaked my audio settings in PA to use the "huge" buffer and highest thread priority. Turning Beats off didn't seem to help either.
Any feedback welcome, thanks.

Yeah that sounds almost exactly like my problem, little minor pauses most of the time (which to me is kind of annoying) and every so often a longer pause of like 4-10 seconds. I ended up having my phone go into a sleep of death last night so I rebooted and also ended up removing the Double Twist widget I had up when I was checking out different players. Today the pause issue seemed better but still not 100% so I'm starting to suspect something (widget or otherwise) I'm running is maxing out the CPU or something.
Haven't noticed any balance issue though, what player are you using? I know in PowerAmp and I'd imagine others there is a balance control...could just be off a bit or if nothing else you might try adjusting it to compensate till you find a solution.
Stock based and aosp roms have Bluetooth fixes.
You can't fix anything yourself unless u root, otherwise wait for a carrier update that may never come.
Will also fix any slow performance issues you might be having, even more so with a custom kernel.
Never experienced issues with Bluetooth myself tho.

This happens on the latest viper rom for one x+ att
We should fix this!

I have had same problems with music, tried Zplayer which solved the issues... my phone is on stock rom ...
Had a chance to do some heads down work and played music for the better part of 4 hours. The pause issue is still there with Double Twist, but nowhere near as bad when I was running stock. Very minor now bit still apparent. My PowerAmp trial ran out so I can't test it. Might try Player Pro even though I'm not crazy about it.

I have noticed minor pauses in music at the same spot when walking down my road towards my house. Due to it happening in roughly the same spot, I have put this down to my home WiFi connecting and/or my Vodafone Sure Signal signal booster being picked up as the primary network connection for calls etc.
I have no idea if my thoughts are correct, but is this something anyone else has tried or even thought about? My phone is currently fubar'd so I can't test it atm.
I hv tried few ROMs and concluded that its the stock kernel's processor settings on sleep mode, I installed cm 10.1 with blade kernel and changed minimum CPU frequency at bit higher level and music plays perfectly fine... I hope this could help others.

Yes, I have found that the audio pause issue seems to be related to connecting to a wifi spot. It still happens when wifi is turned off though, so although they are related, it's not the cause.
I definitely think it has to do with the clockspeed of the device when it is idling.
I notice the audio pauses when,
The screen is left on and the orientation changes
pause frequency changes depending on the player
When connecting to a wifi access point/scanning for one
Someone take this information and e-mail HTC. I was going to call them, but I don't have the time to deal with all of this stuff right now. College finals are next week.
EDIT: managed to give HTC a call. They suggested poweramp and said that they were working on a proper fix. I don't have the time to test to see if power amp solves the issue just now, but it's always good to hear other people's experiences/devices specs. So let me know your device specs and what you know about this issue!
