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.

Quick question. My transformer installs apps from the market fine but when im navigating around the market looking around the apps ive already dont show as 'installed'. Instead it shows 'free' or the price of the app. When i click on the app it shows as installed and it also shows the installed apps within the 'my apps'......is this normal????
Anyone else got this?
I have the same "issue".
same here.
I have it as well. I presume it's intended/design flaw.
same thing we me. i suspect they still need to squish this bug.
maybe 3.1 will have this fixed.
Thanks for confirming this, i though i was going mad. I half remember reading a review of honeycomb and it included this issue but i cant find it now. Its a hard one to Google as it gets mixed with people who cant install apps or cant see apps in the market.
I remember hearing that 3.1 would fix this problem.
Hmm i thought i was going nuts when downloading apps and sometimes they dont show up anywhere, hope 3.1 irons this out

agree, very annoying...
I had the same problem, I did a system reset and it all started to work also make sure you do not uncheck the restore device settings. I think that was the trick for me.

Hi, I just got a Sensation a couple of days ago and there have been a few problems I hope you guys could help me with.
Firstly, my Android Market only shows a few of the apps that there should be. Loads of apps such as the launchers or Angry Birds for example aren't showing up. When I open the Market from my desktop it says that these apps cannot be installed in my country (UAE) when i have friends here with other Android phones with the very same apps.
Secondly, whenever I play a video on the phone it plays fine for about a minute and then the audio switches off and it only comes back if I skip scenes. I don't if this is a fault with my phone or maybe a wrong format I'm using, can you guys recommend a converter?
Thanks for any help, it's much appreciated.

I do not know the answer to your first question, but I would assume that your friends either have a different ROM flashed to their phone that allows them to bypass country restrictions, or they have downloaded the APK's from somewhere else, then 'adb push'ed them to their device... Someone more knowledgeable than me can answer that one...
The second question regarding video converters... I have used an application called Handbrake in the past to re-encode my video files, and it has worked wonders. I highly recommend it. Link: http://handbrake.fr/
Hope this helps.

You can try to find the apk for the apps you want and install them outside of Market by copying the apk to your SD card then installing from there (be sure to check the allow non-market applications box under the applications settings) this should (I think) bypass any country restrictions. If you look around I'm sure you can find the apks you want. If not you could probably make a request for certain apps and someone can upload the apk for you.
Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.
Where do I paste the App file in the SD card?
Anywhere . You can, for example create new folder - "Apps" on yours sd and paste applications there.

Ahh, sorry should've been more specific. After copying the file over, where do I go in the phone to install it?
Nevermind, got it.
You can use the web-market to install apps. No idea why it doesn't appear on the phone's market app, but it should appear on the web market.
market.android.com
For the second problem: what video format are you using? Try *.mp4 or *.avi and see if they work Also, what resolution is the video?

You can try another video player such as MoboPlayer to see if you have converted your video ok.

I also use HandBrake converter.
There is an app called android market enabler "lets you access paid apps from countries where paid apps are not yet available". But it requires you to root your phone which is not currently possible on our phone. This could be what your friends are using.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/market-enabler-v3-0-8-for-root-users/
I just copied some random avi files I had on my desktop, which gave me the problem above. Haven't tried using converter yet but I'll give it a shot now.

Thanks guys, I tried the qqplayer and its playing perfectly. Though one more thing, how do you set custom (from the SD card) notifications for things like messages or emails? Atm I can only find it for ringtones. Oh and how do I switch off the annoying sound upon unlocking?
Sorry for the trouble, first time user and all. =/
lolwut16,
I am from UAE too and have the same problems with paid apps from Android Market.
I am just waiting a software solution to turn my Sensation S-off and install a "market enabler".
You are not alone........

make a folder on the root of your storage card & name it notifications & put the sounds in there.
for the weather sound you can disable that in the weather app or somewhere like that
I have just run into my first big problem with my Transformer. I shot some video on it of my babies and edited it using the movie studio. While not the greatest camera/editing software it worked in a pinch when my babies were doing some really cute stuff. Anyway after editing the video and exporting it I tried to upload it to YouTube, both by selecting it in the included file manager and selecting "Share" then selecting YouTube, and also by going to the YouTube application itself, going to My Uploads and pressing the "Upload" button which lets me select the video in the file manager. Either way I get a prompt to enter in the title and description of my video. Once I do this and press the upload button I immediately get a force close on the "My Uploads" process.
I tried to do a clear data of the MyUploads process but that didn't clear up the problem.
I was wondering if anyone else could try to upload something to YouTube on their Transformer and report if they also have the problem.
FWIW I am on the latest Stock Honeycomb 3.2 ROM.
Thanks,
Sean

Uploading to YouTube has never worked for me. Even when I was still stock on 3.1.
To give a little more data, I just tried uploading a picture to Picasa and it worked fine (Picasa also uses the uploader). It's just Youtube that is failing.

Yeah everything upload fine except for YT. I've read others with similar problems but I've never seen a solution.

Unfortuneately, the YouTube upload bug seems to be a problem regarding honeycomb as most of the tab 10.1 and xoom seem to be having similar problems..
yep , i''ve just noticed this problem. pretty poor that you can't upload to one of google's flagship apps.
Thanks all, Google needs to fix this...ridiculous that there is an issue with the os and their own service!

If you quickly install another 3rd party music app, does that find them? I'd personally recommend PowerAmp. There is a free trial version. That one you can point it at specific folders on your SD card for your music.
If even other music players can't find them, you may have a faulty SD card. Try connection your phone to your PC in mass storage mode. Can you browse the card?
Yup I can view and play music using other apps , and can play music also, I can browse too when in pc mode...I think its just the music app, I like this app, is there any way I could re install the sense music app?

Go Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, hit the 'All' tab, scroll down to your music player and select it.
Hit the Force Stop, then clear cache, then clear data.
Go back to your music player. Has this re found your music now?

i did what you said , but to no avail, i still couldnt find the music files,...i tried soft reset too, didnt work either, when i hooked it up the computer , and viewed my music folder,i saw a small file, that said nomedia...it seemed rather odd, s i deleted it and that worked! i think that file was teleng the app that the folder has no media content, im just curious what made that file and how it got there in the first place?
oh by the way thank you so much for the help!!!! i want to root my phone to someday, but im still not ready for that yet, got to learn more bout android and rooting and modding,...before i do something like that. thanks again and GodBless!!!
Yes, that .nomedia file is the reason.

I feel you. I waited for 5 months to root mine. But, my suggestion : DO IT NOW!
Hahaha, I'm still not there yet, but slowly getting there ! Thanks for the suggestion , I like the original music app , very simple yet it gets the job done, there's a lot of buzz going on with the new OTA update , still no word here from Asia, but I'm not that excited , been reading stuff bout that also, it leaves you with just 150 mb space for apps, I personally think its a shame...

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...

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.
