Guys,
Couple of Questions.
1. The stock video player is fine, except it doesn't remember the location in the video. Everytime you start the player, it starts from the begining. Any way to make it remember the location, or other alternatives?
2. How to stop the Media Scanner from running when you disconnect from PC or restart the phone. It takes a good 5-6mins, and stops you from using the Gallery during that time?
Thanks for your input.
1) can't really help you there with the defaults, try DoubleTwist ?
2) Media scanner will run as long as TouchWiz is running, AFAIK
The newer ROMs seem to have fixed the Media Scanner issue - but since they have other issues, I am going to wait for an official release - I rarely reboot my phone or mount my SD card.
There are other Video players in the market - try some of them. If I pause a video and exit the video player, but come back later - the video i was watching starts at the spot i paused it. I guess this probably doesn't stay across a power cycle. I am not sure if any video player will.
I've been using Meridian for both video and music and have been pretty happy. For video it will remember where you stopped (per video, and across power cycles). It even has an option to always rewind 3 seconds when coming back from another app.

Thanks for the replies. Will try Meridian.
As for the Media Scanner, it's not just after power cycle that it comes up, but also after I disconnect from PC.
I remember seeing a video that showed how to disable TW on Epic and Fascinate, but that didn't work for Captivate. Anyone else know how to disable TW, and what other things does that change? (contacts, messaging???)
Does anyone had any problem with their motorola xoom music player? Mine had been acting up recently, regardless if I am using stock apps or downloaded apps, or youtube, the music player will automatically pops up and played the tracks like I opened it. Even when I force close it, it will later pop back up again.
Anyone had similar problems?
I personally haven't.
My phone keeps restarting after listening to music for about 30 minutes. The time isn't consistent, sometimes I can listen to it all day, or today it crashed twice within a couple hours.
I'm currently running Humble 1.42 and PBJ 730, but this problem has been persistent across several versions of both.
No programs running in the background, I'm using the stock music player, plugged into a charger with an aux cable running to my stereo. It never happens on the same songs and after the crashes, I've gone back and replayed the song it crashes on just to see if it was a corrupt file and it wasn't. A song will be playing, then the sound will stop and the screen freezes for about 20 seconds then it restarts.
Any idea what causes this?
as the title says, there are some times that when i play my music files (.mp3), the track would just play a short part another one of my music then goes back to the track that i was originally listening without me touching my phone and the display is turned off.
in short, there are times that the original track will be replaced by another random part of one of my music randomly.
what the hell is this problem?
is it because of my MC or my phone or the music player's fault?
btw, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy SL GT-I9003.
i just updated it earlier using Kies to 2.3.6 but it still happens
You can try another music player like n7player or playerpro or winamp etc and see if it helps
Cheers

Hi There,
So ever since I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 on I9300 I've got all music players and Google Music app to stop in the middle of each song you it pauses and you must go back to the app and hit play.
In the case of Google Music, yes... I am streaming. For music playing from the SD card it does happen the same thing.
I have no power saving apps either.
Any thoughts?
