i use my sirius/xm app for 2-3 hours on a typical day
ever since i got the G2X the stream cuts out about every 5-10 minutes. only way to get it to reconnect is to exit the app and open it back up.
anyone else have a similar issue?
*this is over the network or over wifi, neither one stays connected. (wifi is set to never sleep)
XM has been weird for me, as well. I'll get it looping - I can listen for 5-20mins, and then it will choke & start back at the beginning of that session. I have to pause it & play again to get it back on track.

yep exact same thing happens to me as well. same 5-10min loop will play over and over till i pause/play.
its definitely only an issue on the g2x because i never had any streaming issues with the n1. just the once in a while disconnect.
Same here - my Vibrant would choke occasionally, and even loop a minute or so forcing the pause/play. But the G2x is having worse issues - possibly related to the 4G/WiFi problem, I think.

I had a few issues with Sirius on my N1 with CM7, few random stops after 10-15 mins regardless of wifi or cell
Ive only used the app for about 30mins on my G2x but no issues so far
I listen to Sirius about 6 hours a day using the app. When I first started I had the issues mentioned here - mainly replaying/looping, as well as losing the connection. But they don't seem to be occurring as frequently now. I want to say that it might have had something to do with the network connection and switching between 2g/4g - I now lock it in using 4g (WCDMA Only in phone settings). My app does seem to go thru periods when it will shutdown and then when I click on it, it is restarting. The iphone app was much more stable.
There is chatter about "SiriusXM 2.0," which I hope they support with a new app release.
Now off I go to find where I need to reset all my stations for on Wednesday.... (If these a-holes are going to re-set the stations, they should go to the trouble of syncing them up between services!)

I can tell there's a framework issue in G2x because streamfurious doesn't work with G2x (broken pipe then stop) while it works with ALL other Android phones/tablets.
Hopefully the future 2.3 update will fix it.
I put CM7 on my G2x last night. I will see if it makes any difference.
Just out of curiosity, what kind of battery life are you guys getting when you stream Sirius?
If I'm streaming, I'm plugged in. I only stream when I'm driving to/from work.

G2x in effect....

i'm actually in the exact same boat. even if i'm streaming while at work i'm plugged in, so i'm not sure as to the battery drain.
i know on my n1 i never used to plug it in, even while driving to/from work. but since the battery is so terrible on the g2x i'm pretty much always plugged in.
It was stuck in a long loop today while listening to Howard Stern,such a long loop in fact i wasnt sure it was even a loop. it played out 3 or 4 times and went back to normal
Why arent there other apps to stream Sirius other than the official app? I'd like to get rid of my damn iPhone but one of the reasons I cant is because it streams Sirius so well, I use the MusicDock app.

Before the SiriusXM App had Howard, I used Orb Live along with the SiriusXM Streamer (http://www.permanence.com/sirius/) on my home pc to stream to my phone. I believe Orb is also available for Android. The Orb Stream can also be accessed via a website/interface, mycast.orb.com, if you don't want to use the app (or pay the $10 ~ which is kind of pricey).
Initially I had issues with SXM app on Android, but now I use it everyday for 6+ hours with minimal issues and running on 2g.
HTH
Thanks, ill give it a try

I've installed ORB Media and ORB Live both on my G2X - worked with the stock ROM but FC on the CM7 ones.
Today i was listening to Sirus in the car via the Starmate replay and noticed a few shorter loops, I wonder if the loops we have heard before are from the APP or if its something on the sirius side.
I haven't been able to listen to Sirius today since they changed the channel lineup - even using WiFi. Anyone else experiencing issues?
I am having the same looping issue on my Samsung Galaxy SII, no real fix for the problem?

Running slacker premium. While streaming music over 3g/4g the music will pause at around 10-15 seconds. Then resume a few seconds later. This is happening on my phone while it was unrooted and rooted . Can someone test this out with a slacker free or premium account on the G2x?
This did not happen on my N1
i have a free account. it did this to me at work the other day. i thought it was my bt headphones. but it started streaming normally after awhile. then next day it gave me problems loading. used winamp that day. it seems spotty so far. will test at work again tomorrow. i only get edge in my house.
I'm having issues as well. Songs just wont play and if they do they only play for a few seconds regardless of whether im on wifi or 3g. Going to contact them about it since it seems to be a device specific issue.
EDIT: Just tried it on my Vibrant over wifi and am having the same issues on that device also.
Try xiialive.
This application allows custom URL and it runs smoothly on G2x and X10.
slacker released an update earlier. streaming works perfectly now
I'm running the stock ROM and Slacker continues to freeze on me, even if I am listening to cached content.
Yeah the slacker app hasn't worked at all for me even after it was updated after the big upgraded. Tempted to cancel my service, as I was only in it for the caching
Hello fellow posters,
I am having a very strange problem that shows its ugly head with Napster and Slacker Radio. The song will play for exactly 12 seconds and then stop. The song will then resume again several seconds later. The rest of the song plays fine from that point forward. I find it strange that it happens on both apps at the same exact time (12 seconds). MOG doesn't seem to have this issue.
I have a 4G signal with at least 3 bars when the issue happens. The problem doesn't occur is streaming from WIFI.
Is anybody else having problems with these apps with their G2X?
Thanks for your time,
Lance
I have the same problem. I was running the gingerbread leak thought it was that. So I'm back on stock same problem.

Napster and Slacker Radio
Does anybody have ideas on how to resolve the issue (song stops playing after seconds almost every time. The song then starts playing again after several seconds).
Is it a phone issue since it happens on both Slacker Radio and Napster? Any setting changes that can be done?
Thanks,
Lance
I haven't tried napster, but for slacker, try version 2.1.191. I loaded it with titanium backup. The last couple versions suck, and apparently not just on our phones/roms. The market comments are BAD. lol...
Not sure how to locate it if you don't have a backup. I'll see about getting the apk somewhere.. It was free on the market, so I can't see how it would be "piracy"...
I have the same problem with Slacker, so it's unusable on my G2x. If this isn't fixed sometime soon, I'll be canceling my paid Slacker account.
slacker updated again today. so far so good streaming over 3g
I had to turn on High quality mode in the settings menu, then the song would cache all the way in 3g. If it's in normal quality, they song doesn't cache all the way and will occasionally skip. Wifi works normally.
I've also disabled the local stream manger in slacker as well. Not sure if that has done anything
I tried again with the latest version and disabling the "local media server" option. Already had high quality enabled.
It actually plays music now. Thanks for the tip. Now if we could get music apps not to stutter when the cpu gets used... Sigh. A dual core should NEVER stutter music when multitasking.
Yes it what the "local Media server" not "local stream manager" . Sorry about that; I didn't have my phone on me.
Glad you're working. Not even sure what that feature does.
i deleted slacker. the damn app wants to run for so many actions. check it out using an app like autostarts. it starts running for a ton of different actions,things that don't even make sense.
winamp is almost as bad,but tolerable.

I disabled Local Media Server too (never noticed that option before), and it seems to be working properly for me too. Thanks everyone!
I have Napster and I have the SAME EXACT problem. The only way I got around it was to download the playlists so it wouldn't skip. It's extremely annoying. I've already informed LG about the issue a month or so ago. Its only on Napster tho. Not Rhapsody or Pandora.

This apparently just showed up with the last update (yesterday or today) and fixed my streaming issues in slacker too (only had time for a quick test though)
The Pandora app seems to lock or have problems resuming when docked in my car (headphone jack connected to car stereo). Here is the sequence of events I am experiencing:
1. Run Pandora, music plays.
2. Call comes in, Pandora pauses.
3. Call finishes, Pandora does not resume.
4. Have to skip to next song or close / reopen Pandora.
I saw a few comments on the Play Store that this also happened to other SGS3 users. I've tried clearing cache, reinstalling Pandora, etc. but it still persists. I e-mailed the developer thru Play Store and actually got an e-mail back outlining these steps in about 10 minutes that did not seem to be a canned response, so kudos to Pandora for that! As I live in MA, it is borderline illegal for me to try to restart Pandora while driving. Cops here take 'texting while driving' to mean 'touching the phone while driving' and will ticket. Has anyone else had an issue with this and/or found a way to resolve it?
Other info that may be helpful:
Pandora is usually the only app running (sometimes I run DailyRoads Voyager for dashcaming the other Massholes that try to kill me each trip).
It happened when I was bone stock, and still persists after rooting. I am not on a custom ROM.
The phone is connected via headphone jack to my car stereo, not Bluetooth.
Pandora locks up regardless if the phone is charging or not.
Phone is always mounted 'landscape' in this dock on my dash.
Car is a '97 Buick Century Custom. (Hey, it was free, in awesome shape, and allowed me to spend money on a phone instead of a car.)
UPDATE: I've been working with one of the Pandora App devs to straighten this out. I'm really surprised that a) I got a response within minutes of e-mailing my issue, b) it wasn't some canned junk response but rather actual specific troubleshooting, and c) it seems they are honestly working to resolve this for our device. I feel even better ponying up for the PandoraONE account now! I'll keep updating as this progresses. In the meanwhile, I'd recommend e-mailing them with your issues: [email protected] .
Honestly, I think the app just isn't all that great.... I have the same issues you describe (not all the time)
I haven't come up with a way around it either...
Of course, its better than the pandora app on my blackberry, that freezes all the time...

Actually it's not the app, it's the phone. Same thing happens with the stock music player and Slacker.

Interesting, I don't have this issue at all with the stock music app; it works really well for me..
I haven't used slacker at all..

I swapped to slacker during the whole pandora sells information thing. Kept it since. But yeah, I think it's just the phone.

I have been totally amazed with my HTC One S so far. But now Pandora doesn't seem to want to stream. Is anyone else running into this issue? Does there seem to be a fix? I am out of the house quite a bit between classes and work and have come to rely on Pandora for my music streaming needs. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Pandora support had me switch to high fidelity mode and it seems to drop out less.

I was having the same problem. So much so that I stopped using Pandora all together. It would play one song and then I would have a 2-3 min delay before the next song played no matter what type of connection I had. I will have to try switch it as suggested to see if it helps,
On data and WiFi, Pandora is flawless. Even on stock, it worked. On Viper, it is exactly the same. Not sure what problems you're having or what's causing it, sorry.
If I open galaxy apps, it tends to pause my music player after a few seconds, sometimes it does it even if im just at the home screen with apps closed. Youtube will also pause randomly. I have axtually disabled bixby, turned off ALL notifications, allowed background data for youtube and samsung music player, and disabled optimisation for them.
Heres the weird thing. When I had poweramp, it didnt do it so long as I had "pause for long audio cues" disabled. And now I downloaded sound assistant and allowed samsung music player to play over any audio and then it doesnt pause. I cant seen to figure this out.
The root of the problem seems to be samsungs audio focus not working properly, but that aside, I cant find what service or app is triggering some invisible and silent audio cue. Any ideas?
I experienced something similar to this while I was traveling. I had the phone bluetoothed to the car. The only things that I had running (that I remember) were Google Play Music, Google Maps (with GPS enabled, of course), and the Weatherbug app since it was storming while I was driving.
The music app would randomly pause and I didn't know why. I haven't experienced it again since then (a couple weeks ago) but I haven't needed google maps since then, and honestly haven't been driving with all those apps open simultaneously since then. I can try it again tomorrow actually, as I have to drive about an hour out of town for a work assignment. I can report it back if you like.
This won't necessarily narrow it down since we may have totally different apps on our phones that may be causing it.

I tried to replicate the problem (even opening a lot more apps on my phone simultaneously) and couldn't get it to do it. I guess that's good for me. I know there have been updates to several of the apps I mentioned since I experienced that problem, though, too. Don't know what to tell you. I remember in the past sometimes deleting all of my bluetooth connections and then reconnecting sometimes helped. But who knows...
I'm traveling again today and next week so we'll see again. If I experience again I'll let you know.
