[Q] Music app acting spastic?

Having some issues with the Music app. I am running Prime 1.9.something-or-other and I have been adding music to an SD Card then plugging it back into the tablet. Sometimes when I open Music, it just flickers like it is trying to refresh and having a panic attack in doing so. I have read other threads here where the user had to go into Application Settings and clear the cache/data for Music, which seems to work, but it bothers me that I have to do this regularly instead of just working like on my phone. Is there something I can do to permanently fix this behavior or is there a recommended free music player that may be similar to the stock player? I don't need any special features, just something that looks okay and has good logical sorting of music, preferably that cooperates well with the taskbar.
I tried Double Twist yesterday and its okay, but would rather just get the stock player working correctly.

Happens here, too. But no custom ROM - Stock B80 Transformer

Happened to me too in Stock 3.2, I had to kill the player and everything is fine for now.

No expert here but I feel that it has to do with the app itself (it is a beta version after all). I had this issue on tablet and phone. On my phone I reverted to the previous version of the google music app that did not include access to the Google cloud and haven't had the problem again.

On stock ROM and B50 TF here.
I had installed the Beta application to give access to the streaming from cloud feature, and I had experienced the flickering, so I reverted back. Worked for a while, but a month or so on, and the flickering is back.

Sorry mate, it was already installed on my phone from the factory (so basically I had two google music apps after I downloaded music beta). But I think the APK version is 2.3.3. A search should bring up a site for download easily.

Same problem here. Clearing the cache fixed the problem for a while, but it came back quite soon.
I think it's to do with playlists that have invalid references in them. I looked at the logcat to determine this. I have removed my playlists, and it doesn't seem to have come back (so far).
Let me know if this works for you.

After I deleted my playlist, album listing was fine, but under artists, the app kept scrolling back to the top of the list on its own. What doesn't it want me to see?! Buggy!

Should have also said after removing playlists, also clear the cache in app settings, it will then scan everything and should eventually settle down.

Video Players!

Hello Infuse Community!
Since day one on the Infuse it has been an exellent jump over my iPod Touch, the only thing that I find lacking is the video player! I am sure that you have all ran into streaming a video and having to answer a text! I'm wondering if anyone else has found a player that will allow you to jump back into where you have left off, instead of having to scroll back through the video and remember your place... yada yada yada. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think that's an android flash limitation.. are these streaming vids on an html5 site? or a flash site? maybe the browser is part of the problem as well.

Ahh! Good point... Real nice call at the flash. Flashed works wonders! (well.. In one sense anyway) It resumes right on key. Stock browser nothing special. It's the HTML 5 that opens up in the separate program. Can't list the site here...
Thanks for the speedy reply man.. Appreciate it dude.

Hmm.. Almost found what I'm looking for. MX. Video resumes where I left off. But is there anyway to access the video through the hold down home shortcut.. That would make this epic for me.

I don't k.ow why some apps don't show in recent apps if another app calls them up. try an app switcher app. or use go launcher and Check the recent and running tabs in the drawer.

Vital Player will rember where you left off on a vid so you can start right back up from that spot. (It can rember multiple vids)
DoggCatcher if for podcast will also do the same for the podcast. (It can rember multiple vids)

Hero and Instagram

So as many of you have already heard, Instagram dropped for we Android users about a week ago. Google Play won't let me find the app, so I downloaded the latest apk and installed it using a file manager. The app does everything fine except let me upload photos. It'll allow me to take/choose a photo from my gallery, crop it, but crashes at the filter screen. Has anyone looked into this at all, or am I just gonna have to avoid this app until I choose to upgrade my phone?
Oh, and I'm running CM7 if it matters at all.

100 Views and no responses? Looks like we're all screwed huh? XD

Might be. Didn't know about this program until today.

avoid app until you upgrade your phone i ran into similiar problems with my hero

I managed to get working by downloading and installing the apk itself

Instagram... Anybody got it working?

It finally says supported in the Play Store BUT I still can't upload pictures!
Also... it says in the update "Support for Tablets and Wi-Fi devices"?!

Nah, doesn't work yet

mee too. it just crashes right after taking a picture

From what I'm aware of, they gave the tablet "open up" support. Not much else.

Go into Settings and choose Camera settings. Uncheck the "Use Instagram Camera". After I did that I was able to take pictures and upload.

Haven't messed with it on the Transformer yet.. I still don't understand the hype behind Instagram. Isn't it just a photo-filter app that lets you share images to an Instagram account?
How is this anything new? I must be missing something...

Of course BUT it IS fun to use...
Sometimes I use the photos from my Camera and send them to the Transformer and use Instagram!
The photos look really good actually!
I don't use it seriously to replace Photoshop obviously but it is fun!
Also MANY people use it so I also use it to view their photos and..etc

So in other words, Instagram is nothing new.

Works for me. I'm running Megatron ROM. Android version 4.04

Here's a direct download link for the NBC apk. I'll put it on mediafire or something in a bit, but this will do for now.

I just tested it on my Infinity and it works fine although it was definitely meant for a smaller screen.
Enjoy!

Yahoo Messanger = also DONT WORK on Infinity
Can someone install and do Voice+ Video chat using YAHOO MESSANGER on Infinity....
Seems when I install , the BASE yahoo ( without abiltiy to do video chats ) works ok
then when I try to install the " YAHOO VIDEO ADD_ON" , i get error = " not compatable with this version of hardware and or software"
its weird = as i have a Samsung Note with ICS = and yahoo works well even with video and voice
seems SKYPE works GREAT = all ther features , and functions ....................
can anyone help ?? any dev's ?
thanks in advance

Awesome app KillerG! Can anyone get the APK for the NBC Live Extra App? That app will have ALL the videos available for streaming video for the Olympics. Over 3500 hours worth when all said and done.
Lastly, anyone getting slow motion audio in the video section?

This is what I did: (jankey I know)
1) Install the app you want on your phone
2) Use ES File Manager (or similar) to back up the application (ES stores it in /sdcard/backups
3) Share that file (Google Drive, gMail, etc)
4) Download and install to your tablet.
Took me under 5 minutes once I figured it out. A lot less time than waiting for the developer to do something about it!

Live Extra apk link
I tried several of the Live Extra apk files, but most of them once installed still said they needed to be updated. Well, once I clicked "update" it went straight to the Play store and said it was not compatible.
I did some searching and found a apk file. I have successfully downloaded, installed and tried the app. It works fine on my Infinity tablet.
I can't post a link, so pm me for it.
Hope I did this right and you can download it from my dropbox folder.
Cheers!

xRevilatioNx, I had issue with sound when I first installed app. I closed the app, went to my task manager and found some "musicfx" running... well, I ended that particular app, musicfx... reopened the live extra app and video and audio were working fine. May work for you as well.

Olympics on TF700 Infinity
I just logged into my Xfinitytv.comcast.com account and went to nbcolympics.com and watch the Olympics. I don't think you need any sort of special application. I've watched various TV shows on my Infinity and other Android apps as well as my wife's iPad and my PC. It just works.

This is exactly what happens to me with every version I try, including pulling the .APK off my galaxy nexus, which works fine on the phone. No matter what I try, I get about five second of video, and the slow motion video and sound. Very frustrating.

Look at running apps

When I installed the app on my infinity tablet, it was in slow mo.. at first. But I found an app called musicfx or something like that running in the background. Once I disabled that, the app worked fine. audio and video worked great. Been watching olympics since 4 a.m. this morning.

How do you disable it? I pm'd you for the NBC Live Extra APK. I know everyone heard back from you my friend.

I had this same issue on the Acer A700 the fix is to have the Olympic app running and when it slows down go into the square task manager on the bottom left, select something else and once that loads go back into task manager and select Olympic app and it will be normal speed.
You have to do this whenever you switch channels, a pain but a temporary fix.

Just turned on the app this morning. A "update" popped up and said goto Play store to get newer version. Obviously we can't because it tells us it's not compatible.
Can anyone get the updated APK? I'm hoping the update fixes the video feed.
UPDATE: without the newer version it won't let us in the app! So we definitely need the APK to continue enjoying the app... Ugh
