Hi everyone. I am running the Starburst ROM, stock kernel, and (did this stock also) every 3-4 seconds the video is stuttering when I am watching live streams. It is almost equal time every time. I am wondering if it is something I need to change? Does anyone else deal with this? Youtube has the odd video that does this also.
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
Okay I know this has been brought up. I'm running cm7. Its wonderful but today my audio is gone on mx video and YouTube. Plus YouTube isn't functioning normally. They were fine yesterday. Youtubes all over the place jumping10-30 seconds randomly. Anyone having a similar issue?
Okay a simple reboot seems to have fixed it. Haven't had anything like that happen and I've been using cm7 since day one.
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.
when ever i play any video in my razr in any player , sometimes it got struck and phone restarts. it only happening in all custom roms ! i am the olny one here who is facing this problem ? please help.
You are not alone, is present in many ROMs, some do it more than others. Best scenario i have found with latest versions of kitkat is : fail to play media but at least no reboot.
It also happens in stock but it handles better, so no reboots only app crash.
I'm currently using latest dirty unicorns kitkat rom. it eventually cannot play some videos but at least no reboots.
My best solution so far is installing MX player. When hardware fails, it will fall back to software playback. Much better than telling people to wait until reboot so you can show a video. This way, if Firefox or dolphin browser fail to play, I can choose to open with mxplayer.
I think many people will not notice it cause they don't use it as intensively for video playback. Also because not every video fails to play... Some videos will still work fine even if error has been triggered maybe some formats are not affected. And, some ROMs will handle it better (less tendency to reboot).
I don't have the link to the thread, but other xda user posted a reply explaining same problem in a different device yet based in same omap processor.
My suggestion, try dirty unicorns. Some versions of cm11 were fine. But best solutions is installing mx player as a work around. Cause even if rom doesn't reboots, once hardware playback fails, it will fail until reboot.
