Had anyone had any problems playing pandora or slacker radio with the new nero 5?
they both worked fine for me with bionix fusion but now just cut out all the time.
I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the modem.
let me know if you've had the same problem and gotten it fixed.
Thanks.

Pandora works fine for me with Nero 5
Works great for me as well. I use it in car in landscape mode. I had to install adfree because pandora ads are in the weirdest place in landscape. I also think it sounds a tad better in nero5
Are you overclocked? I once had that problem with a ROM. Had something to do with minimum CPU processor speed. I had set it too low on SetCPu and had to bump it to 400 or something like that....
No, I'm not overclocked.
Could I have messed up something when I odined back to stock?
Or maybe it's my 3g, I'm not sure. But it does suck.
Should I do the 1.4 overclock kernel?
Thanks for helping.

Have you tried to reboot? The other day I did have a problem connecting for some reason. It would just show the splash screen. After I rebooted it worked, not sure what happened as I could still do calls and texts.
I had the same problem w nero4 but I flashed 5 before I was able to figure out the problem. So far no problems with 5

I've tried rebooting and it works again for a little while but then it cuts out again.
It's weird it cuts out and then some times it just starts back up when ever it wants. And it seems like it just sucks up all my ram.

Might want to try fixing permissions and see what happens. Do you have SetCpu installed? If so, what settings are your CPU speeds set at?
I don't have setcpu right now, I'm not over clocked right now. As for the permissions how would I fix thoses?
Sent from Samsung Vibrant rooted with Nero V5
You can fix the permissions using rom manager. Just open rom manager and in the utilities sections it says fix permissions, choose that and then reboot when it is finished. I have not had any problems with pandora. Haven't used slacker though.

It could be the outageously low-memory kernel that's used at the moment by Nero, Axura and others.
There's only 304 MB of RAM available for the user, compared to the usual 320 MB from the JI6 kernel or even 340 MB from the custom JI6 with Voodoo kernels.
In Nero v5 I used Autokiller Memory Manager to change the system's auto process killing parameters, and I saw that by default it's set to kill Provider processes (like Pandora's background playback) until 90 MB of RAM is available. And since it's so easy to reach less than 70 MB free with this bloated Samsung bull **** (even though the bloatware has been mostly removed), your Pandora is ended by the system in order to keep enough memory available.
Another reason to get CyanogenMod working on the Vibrant: I tried CyanogenMod 6.1, an absolutely pure Android build... 100% AOSP, 0% Sam**** (except for kernel), and I have much more memory available. Try it out.

I'll try the auto memory killer. I tried fixing the permissions with no luck and I installed and reinstalled pandora with no luck.

So far so good, using auto memory killer.

Why is it that I always have to reset "never kill app" in auto memory kill for pandora? Even if I don't reboot my phone it changes on its own.

Hi, I am using Wolf's ROM v4.0.3 with UV Kernel and I noticed that my phone always maintains around ~56MB of free RAM. However, it also kills all my running apps the moment they go into the background, which causes a lot of problems.
E.g. I've opened a page using Opera Mini and i use task manager to switch temporarily to the music player. When I switch back to opera mini, the app's reloads from scratch (shows the loading screen) and shows the Welcome page instead of the page I was previously accessing.
This situation is very unpleasant and makes me want to thrash the phone. All the OC, UV and butter smooth UI is of no use if the android system starts killing my open apps on its own discrection. I never faced such a scenario with my 2.1 stock ROM running minfreemanager and even the stock 2.3.3 ROM didn't raise such issues (though it wasn't as fast, either). I need a solution to this issue. Please advise.

I think this is the autokiller tweak, aka minfree, and it kills apps every now and then to free RAM.
Switch Roms if you need to.

I don't have minfree or any other autokiller apps installed right now but the problem persists. I have tried disabling the "screen off" profile in CPU Master, doesn't make a difference. The only way to keep an app running is to keep it in the foreground.

Its a tweak in Wolf's ROM in built. Thats the reason we get a good and smooth ROM
I guess the best way to fix this problem will be to switch to stock ROM.
Also you can perhaps report this to Wolf... He must have a solution...
my 4.0 lags out and freezes on ethereal and klassic r5 roms with terrasilent and klins r3 kernel, whats up with this?
if i dont kill apps when memory is getting full it slows down then freezes and i have to hold the power button till i restart, anyone know whats going on?
It could be a problem with the ROM, have you tried re-flashing it? maybe the ROM demands too much from the memory, (RAM) leaving very little left for backround applications and apps. check your task manager, or whatever you need to look at (I dotn remember how to get to it) to see how much ram you have and whats taking it up.

Nothing it just how our galaxy players are. They (excluding the 5.8) have limited memory which is between 348mb and 352mb. This is the one major problem with the galaxy player 4.0, 4.2, 3.6 and 5.0. So the only thing you can do is kill task and not go crazy. I can surf the web with like 1 tab open and listening to poweramp (with Voodoo Mod, and DSP manager) and that's about it. Overclocking helps a bit but not by much. I wish Samsung would come out with new versions of the 4.0 and 5.0 (that are actuallly a 4 in screen and a 5 in screen)
Yeah it normally starts slowing up at around 280mb ram, it never did this much at all when I had stock froyo, would stock gingerbread be better than my custom tomorrow and kernel

I used now JB on 5.0 which don't have that problem but on GB i had it and fix it with android supercharge script

The way my GP 4.0 works is odd...It's as if after every reboot, the player has a certain amount of fuel (and no I'm not referring to the battery). After usage, that fuel gets burned down and the player starts running sluggishly and eventually either freezes up and forces me to do a forced shut down or it reboots itself. I usually can't keep the thing on without a reboot for longer than 3 days. It's not a major issue, but it makes playing games rough because sometimes in the middle of a game, the player just freezes up and reboots. The battery typically never goes beyond 100 degrees F, unless I'm in a hot car or something.
Anyone else got this problem? Any suggestions? I've heard of something called Lagfix that does something like trimming or something of the sort...Yeah, noob here. Would that fix me up? Running gingerbread 2.3.5 stock rom and kernel.

try a factory reset and dont install anything after.
if it doesnt seem to hang, reinstall your apps slowly, one by one to see which one is causing the problem
Your player is using to much ram so it's going to restart. Use the task manager to kill any app you aren't using.

2 problems with that. 1. in the task manager, no tasks are seen running. I almost always have around 70 mb of ram free no matter what. 2. if I use a task killer (such as advanced task killer), I can kill apps that are running (such as the ebay app...Not sure why that even runs in background), but they come back on within seconds....do I just need to uninstall apps?
I will suggest you try using advance task manager to monitor your applications, rather then the system's task manager.

But when I kill a task in advanced task killer to kill unwanted running apps, they come back on after like 5 seconds. However, these are apps that I'd like to have installed, such as ebay, weather, and youtube. Do you suggest just uninstalling as many as possible?
I would do a complete reset and then slowly install your apps. This way u can see what is causing the problem.
And don't install unecassary apps

Are you using a custom rom? You shouldn't have 70mb all the time. You should have at least 162mb when it just starts booting up, and then 100mb- 120mb when using it. ADW Launcher is kinda heavy on memory. Try Holo Launcher or one that doesn't use a ton of ram. I remember on mine it was Go Launcher using too much ram, and it was causing it to stutter. Also I suggest uninstall (or just doing a complete restore) some of the apps. Our players suck with managing ram imo lol.

Stock rom and stock kernel. Would custom ones be better?
I do get the around 160 mb of ram when booting up. Actually, I do have around 90 mb of ram available after the boot up. Well, the thing is, is that adwlauncher has almost made it all better. It just runs so much smoother than touchwiz and i like it a lot. However, I can try another I suppose. Well that sucks. Should I start using a task killer and having it auto kill or something? I mean I don't really wanna uninstall youtube, or ebay, but I guess I could uninstall some other stuff.
Okay, so last night I uninstalled some apps that according to advanced task killer were running in the background. I've also uninstalled Lookout just to free up some more ram. now I get about 90-100 mb of ram when idle, and things are working all right for now. I'll report how it performs after a day or two...It's just a shame that the galaxy player has so little ram that I'm forced to uninstall some apps that won't even give me the option to stop them from running the background.

Custom Kernels, and roms help the player a lot imo. I would at least flash a custom kernel, because it boots the total ram from 342 to 352mb. Yeah I think that since you have a lot of apps installed it is bogging down the player. Uninstall the apps you don't need, or rarely use. I know I wished samsung would have properly upgraded our players. Instead we got the 3.6, and 4.2 which do some things better, but other things worse. They made the 5.8 but to me it's not worth the money.

Okay so unfortunately, I just got another crash/reboot. I was playing Draw something with my sister when suddenly it began to hang for about 4 seconds and then just reboot. This is the normal crash I used to get, and always get after about 3 days of having the thing on and using it. I had plenty of open ram when this happened. before I opened draw something, I had about 100 mb of ram.
Uninstalling apps has cut down on the amount of lag and hangs I get, but I still get this stupid reboot deal after a while...Is there any way to make this stop? I mean I could just do a factory reset, but I almost don't even think it's worth having to redo everything just to fix rebooting once every 2 or 3 days.

If your galaxy player is rooted I would try installing a custom kernel and see what happens. Because 1) It gives you the ability to overclock to 1.2 ghz (If you buy tegrak or set cpu you can overclock to 1.3 or even 1.5ghz). This helps with lag and memory issues from my experience, and 2) You can make a backup of your files on your device using ClockWorkMod, so you don't have to redo everything if factory resetting doesn't work.
But most likely I think you are going to have to just do a factory reset. Usually that fixes the memory problem since it resets everything on the player. But be warned flashing kernels and roms does void your warranty and can mess up your player if not done right. However, there's tons of tutorials on how to do it. If you like it stock, , iJimaniac has made a custom rom called R.E.D.D it uses the stock kernel with a modified version of the stock rom.
Also do you mind taking a screenshot or picture of your taskmanger and apps?

It is indeed rooted. However, can't I already overclock to 1.2 ghz? I mean I have tegrak and it lets me overclock to that already. I don't even mind the CPU speed now, it's just the random reboots I get that bother me. And if it needs to be said, I really cannot remember if my player has always done this...
So unless flashing a kernel or rom is actually gonna make my player run smoother (I've heard that stock stuff runs smoothest because it's made for that specific device), I don't really see a need to do it. I'm perfectly fine with the way it is stock...Just not fine with the occasional bits of lag I get (temple run is basically not playable on my player, because even the slightest hang will screw you up) and the stupid reboots.
Sure. You want a screenshot of advanced task killer open (showing all the apps that are currently running)? As for apps, how do you want me to get a picture of all those? It'd take several pictures because I'd have to scroll through the apps list and take multiple pictures.

Yes about the pictures, but like I said the kernel does give you more ram so it should help. But According to iJimaniac that his rom has less bugs than stock lol.

Hi, are now few days that my Samsung S3 in signature has became too slow.
Many times lags when i call a program and then another.
I'm sure that it is not doing apps updates when slowing.
Further my phone is rooted and is overclocked.
Do you know some suggestion?
Which app can i use to test its performance?
Thank you for your attention! !

Hi, i repeat my question because i didn't solve my issues. .
My phone continues to lag and sometimes restarts...
I made a Dalvik and no full reset hoping to solve but i still have the same problems.
It's enervating to work in this way and please save my phone that my rage will take me to launch somewhere..

I would put a stock based ROM on fone such as neatrom. Don't over clock and no custom kernel. Stock kernel is more stable. Hope that helps

Or put a 4.4.2 ROM on your phone for fast speed without need to overclock
Thank you for reply.
I'm looking for something to test or solve my issue. I tried through Cleanmaster app and i cleaned many useless data in my phone. I have a doubt if my issues started when i tried Directory Bind app.
Until about one month ago my stock fw worked fine then i noticed lags, etc.
Today in the morning or sometimes my phone comes to work fine but i noticed for example that when the phone searches cell data network it slows much.
I think that the cause is the memory available that is always only less than 10%.
That i don't understand is that until few time ago my memory was not a problem and was sufficient and system phone worked properly, now not yet.
For now i prefer not to change the rom because i know well this i have installed and i have a good familiarity finding everything in menus fastly...a time ago fastly...

I'd update to 4.3 if I were you using a custom rom. Once done. If you have chosen a stock based 4.3 ROM. Tap on builder number 7 times in settings/ about phone. You will see a new thing called developers options go into that and scroll down to background processes change it to 4 and your phone won't lag.
Ok. But in this case don't I force the closing of apps? And the forced closing doesn't deactive some useful app that is better to stay in memory (i.e. Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber, Skype, etc.)?
When you say to change to 4 value you mean the active processes? True?
I have not been prone to install custom roms because i prefer i.e. S-Voice feature with double tap of my home button and i think that lags and others issues often are caused by installed apps.
It would be better first to find what to slow the system and then to consider the o.s. replacement.

try disabling the bloatware and uninstalling the useless apps? When I just got my S3, I installed all the messaging apps - Whatsapp, WeChat, Line etc as many of my friends are using those. It caused severe lag and battery drain.
Sounds like you maybe have a virus/malware? Btw CleanMaster is the biggest scam. It only clears certain things and it runs more background processes than it saves.
Hope this helps,

I have already uninstalled and freezed many preinstalled apps through Titanium.
But anyway i think to have too apps installed into phone. But i have always had these too apps.
I changed the Kernel to Siyah because stock Kernel caused lags and i.e intelligent stand-by sensor came back to work only when i installed the Siyah.
Since few days i have again the same issue but now with Siyah Kernel..
@aarongillion63
I installed Avg antivirus and now instead i have CM Security. The system seems cleaned about viruses.
I installed Clean Master and for me that i don't know where i can free space in phone the app has been a godsend...
Now i can see processes in memory but i.e. if i want to uninstall or freeze Google Play Services then the system asks me to reload it.
I read somewhere if you try to remove processes or uninstall apps anyway the system will load each others to fill ram memory..

S3 slow or restarts and turns off unexpectedly
I tried to do a deep clean (not the most deep) and then to install 4.3 stock firmware but although the lags has gone away i still have some restarts or unexpected turns off of phone.
Sometimes i note for example that the sounds of keybord even if i disabled they come back!
Or when i use S-Voice app through double press home button the audio feedback comes back active although i deactived it!
i add that i restored some app and data by Titanium Backup..
