Hi,
Does anyone know a tweak to make the HTC Streaming Media app continue to work when the back light is off, or the screen is locked etc...
It just stops playing on my Diamond when streaming and not in the foreground.
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem with my HTC elfin. I have tried several of the possible fixes listed in these forums; however, none have worked perfectly so far. I can listen to streaming internet radio fine without lossing connection; however, I can't listent to music from my shared folder's over my home network without loosing connection after the first song. The first song will play until the end but the network connection is lost as soon as the device goes to sleep and will not play any of the next songs in the list. I would also love to finally have a fix for this.
Hey everybody, I am having some issues here, not sure if it is a problem with wp7 in general, or specific to arrive. I have Zune pass and absolutely love it, ability to stream music via Zune on the background kind of makes up for no Pandora or background play with other streaming apps such as slacker or last fm. My problem is with how choppy Zune streaming is right now for me. If I'm on evdo streaming basically stops when I get a text and it would say opening for about 10 seconds before usually skipping the song altogether... Now, I get that data connection is idle when text comes in due to no simultaneous voice and data being available on cdma but I've never had that big of an issue with streaming apps and Android. Over WiFi, same thing but not as bad, which really puzzles me as there should not be a problem while on WiFi?
Is this issue specific to arrive or all windows phone 7 phones have that problem? It seems as if I'm browsing the web, Zune rarely streams at all. Would going to att and getting Samsung focus fix this?
Im using my Nexus 5 to stream Google Play Music (all access) to my Jaguar XF (Meridian system).
I can connect fine, and music streams, but i get the odd 'drop' that lasts for a second or less. There doesnt seem to be a pattern to it. It happens on locally stored music as well as 'streamed' so i dont think its a 'cloud' issue.
Anyone seen anything similar ? i am trying to see if it happens when an email comes in, or an SMS, or some similar issue but i cant spot anything.
Unsure therefore whether its a Nexus 5 hardware issue ? an app issue ? a bluetooth issue ? a Jaguar issue ?

I experience the same thing from time to time. When I first researched the problem, I read that Google Play Music, for some reason, uses a data connection even when playing tracks that are on the device. I then saw that the hiccups occurred only during times when the signal was weak or changing bands. Have you noticed what kind of connection you have when the skipping occurs?
You should trying using another music player. I noticed that skipping issue on GPM on all my car and trucks. I use Power Amp and i have no issues, but i guess if you are streaming directly from GPM thats your only option.
Most definitely happening from streaming instead of playing from the sd card. Even then you have to force the phone to use from Device Only as leaving All Music chosen will still try to stream music you already have on the phone. And even further still if you decide to try to do a random playback list you can't go into the queue and chose a song without being connected to data. It's completely stupid. Not really sure what you could do though seeing as you use the All Access service.
Thanks both.
I will try another player to test the theory. it would be a shame if its GPM as I got the £7.99 deal and Im very impressed with it to be honest. particularly as i subscribed on a shared account to wife and kids all get access too
I've never had this happen with my N5 while streaming BT audio using Google Play Music, but I only play On Device music so no data connection is required for me....
signal was weak or changing bands.........

I've only noticed this when I receive some sort of notification and I don't have the device on Silent/Vibrate. But I have noticed that when occasionally streaming that the quality/sound drops and then picks right back up. I'm sure that will have to do with me driving around and it relying on network.
I've got a weird problem with my Nexus 5.
When I listen to audio (typically with BeyondPod, but also with Google Play Music and ES Media Player) the audio sometimes pauses.
After a while I have noticed a pattern. It appears that the playback pauses when the device connects to / disconnects from a WiFi network.
I have also occasionally experienced it with WiFi switched off. I haven't analysed in detail when it happens, but it appears to happen when GSM connection is acquired / lost.
Is this a 'known problem'?
Is there any known workaround?
I get this with streaming app Spotify.
I've put it down to a kernel issue, I'm using Franco kernel and some other users have mentioned it also
Used to have this problem with the Franco kernel as well. Don't have the problem anymore now, but can't explain why.
If you are streaming, then of course changes in connectivity will result in an interruption, no? I assume the problem does not occur when playing music located on the device?

True! But I should have been more specific.
This is happening when listening to music offline so they are local files.
I read an idea that the phone prioritises the switch from WiFi to Data (this is the only time when my stutter occurs, leaving the house and coming back) and so music playback stutters very briefly as a result.

Ah, that's why I asked. I seem to remember reading somewhere that when playing music with Google Play Music, the app requires connectivity even when playing local files. If that is indeed the case, then connecting/disconnecting could cause the interruption. So, I suppose the next step would be to test with a music player.
Further clarifiaction
Just to clarify further:
What I'm experiencing is not a 'stutter', but a pause. - I have to manually restart the playback.
I only listen to 'local' media - not streamed. I don't know how it reacts when streaming.
I'm using stock 4.4.2 (rooted).

As I drift out of WiFi range and into data my streaming music doesn't pause. The song loads at the beginning I assume and ends up seamless during the network transfer.

You're probably right - it must at least buffer ahead.
I am having the exact same problem as the OP. I get pauses whenever my Nexus 5 goes from wi-fi to cellular, cellular to no signal, etc. It happens with many different apps like Pocket Casts, Google Play Music, DoggCatcher, Poweramp, both streaming and local file playback. Drives me nuts, especially when I am in the car. Used to happen with my Nexus 4 too.
The ONLY fix I have come up with (I am completely stock/un-rooted) is to download podcasts or playlists and play in Airplane Mode. This completely fixes the issue, but is not practical as I have to stay offline whilst listening to audio.
Also worth noting, it doesn't happen when I am playing local video files, e.g. a video podcast. If there is anyone that can help please do as at this rate I am going to have to start carrying an iPod touch around, and I have enough gadgetry already.

Didn't think of testing Spotify offline with aeroplane mode turned on. Will try

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing this. My guess is that there must be some app that receives a notification when the connectivity changes, and for some reason pauses playback. Maybe if we can cross-reference installed apps we could find the offender?
Is there an easy way to see what apps are installed?

I used to use Tasker, but I don't any more.
I tried to use 'Autorun Manager' to see what intents are captured and by whom, but I quickly got lost...
No audio skipping/stutter when using Spotify offline mode after turning airplane mode on.
Suddenly the problem disappeared!
I was clearing out a bunch of games that the kids had installed, and then I realised that the problem was gone!
I haven't done any serious analysis to pinpoint the culprit yet, though.

I may have to try to analyse it again, as the problem reappeared suddenly this morning! I haven't installed any new software for weeks, but it could of course be part of some update.
Hello,
I am having troubles streaming XiiaLive through Bubbleupnp. It was working all fine till a few days ago but then started to work wrong for some reasons.
Here is the problem. When selecting a new station on XiiaLive while streaming on Bubble the same station continues playing. Actually sound stops for a couple of seconds and then the same radio keeps on playing.
Xiia is working fine when playing directly on the local renderer without Bubble. However the problem occurs when playing on the local render via Bubble so the problem comes from Bubble obviously.
The metadata on Bubble does indicate the name of the new station that I just selected but the url of the station does not change.
Stopping and restarting Bubble and XiiaLive does not solve the problem. Neither does it when rebooting my device. Same station keeps on playing...
It used to work perfectly. Would you have an idea of what could be the issue (and how to solve it)?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
This seems to be a bug in the newer version of XiiaLive. It always transmits the first stream URL when changing stations.
I will contact the XiiaLive devs so they can fix it.
