[Q] Google Music Beta - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

Is anyone using this service through google and having issues? I've had it running on Wildhero and AOSP GB roms for the past week or so, and it seems glitchy at best random pauses even though the songs seem to be fully buffered. Service issue or my little hero doing the best it can issue?

Just started using it and its working good for me. All my music streams fine. Have you checked to make sure your kernel isn't clocked too low? 352 usually is the lowest to run music smoothly

[Q][solved]CM7.1 with Skype2.0/GTalk1.3 with video

I'm on CM7.1 #39 for NexusS 4G with Netarchy's 1.3.5 cfs and every time I initiate a GTalk video chat of Skype both videos come in for about 5 seconds and then everything freezes for about 5 more seconds and the device reboots. Has anyone solved the issue?
Update:
I just tried lowering the frequency from 1400Mhz to 1300Mhz and it worked stable. I'm not undervolted and 1450mV seems to work fine for the 1400Mhz for everything but gtalk video and Skype 2.0. I bumped it up slowly to 1500mV and still not able to have it running and not freeze and reboot the phone. Oh well, I guess I'll have to lower it to 1300Mhz to video chat. Governor setting played no effect. All but 1400Mhz worked. Maybe I'll try the new 1.3.6 netarchy's.
I think it has to do with both shooting video and viewing video which takes so much out of the processor. Kind of a good way to test your undervolting stability.
Bump. Anyone?

Got it solved. See op.
I actually got it narrowed down to temperature which is often too high and the phone reboots when using such demanding apps like gtalk or Skype with video. To help solve that I put some profiles in SetCPU and lowered speed based on temperature. Works just fine now.

Light-weight music players? (battery-wise)

Music player and Display are my biggest uses on battery. Display is already set to lowest setting, so I'm wondering if I can improve on the music player side. All I need are the basics: shuffle, repeat, albums.
Currently using Valhalla 1.2, stock music player.
Look for my stock music player on the second or third page of the galaxy s 4g themes and apps section. It is the stock GB music player, it works great and is better looking.
uber music is pretty good
Did you try the Miui music player that came with your ROM, its pretty cool.

I actually use Miui now. It doesn't seem to use much less battery than Music Player, but at least the controls work on the lock screen.
Unfortunately, the battery issue seems to be a problem with Android in general. Rather disappointing compared to my iphone, but not much I can do.
BTW, the battery life on KI1 sucks. I am sure they are fixing the problem.

Hmm... I kind of noticed that, but I thought it was just a battery calibration thing. I guess I'll flash back for now and see if it helps.
Thanks!

Mp4 video playback

This may be a more general issue affecting other android phones as well but for a long time now I've had issues playing mp4 format videos. The sound is perfect but the video plays back abominable slow so they are completely out of sync. I wanted to post here to see if anyone else has any ideas on this. I've tried multiple players including rockplayer, moboplayer, stock player, vplayer and many others and I just can't get them to play right. All other formats play without any issues.. flv ..mov ..avi ..xvid..mkv.. all are great.. just not mp4. Please if anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate a hand with this...thanx!

im not sure if its just because of the hardware on the Thunderbolt but I have the same issues aswell. my workaround is overclocking as well as using good apps like MX Video Player & if you are playing 720P videos check out Dice Player.
Appreciate the response. I'll try out those players as well. What are you overclocking to? I'm usually at about 368 low end and 1.2 high end I think right now using the bamf tools to do it on bamf forever cubed rom.

regardless of the rom, I always set low to 245 and high about 1.2 if its an aosp rom and 1.4 if its sense based. I don't like to go much higher as I've had my battery get very hot and battery life goes down a bit also.

I can't go below 368 on mine or phone will do random shutdowns. I try to use my phone and it was powered off. As soon as I moved it back to 368 never happened again.

Bamf forever cubed settings won't allow me to overclock past 1ghz or very close.. going to look again... Are either of you using setcpu or some other app to overclock?

i use setcpu for all roms(even if they come with bamf settings, cyanogen settings, etc). if it's not letting you go past 1ghz then you'll have to install a kernal that will. i was recently using that bamf soab rom and they had an imogean(sp?) kernal for it in the same thread. you can either check bamf's thread for a specific kernal they recommend or check here on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249328
Eh just checked setcpu and it does the same... Neither are allowing me to go past 1024000 and minimum is 245768. Not being allowed to clock it past up to 1.4 which is weird because I know I've done so on past Roms.. maybe it's just this rom? I'm using Bamf Forever Cubed with the stock kernel it came with. Any suggestions on why I'm being locked down to a top end overclock of 1024000?..
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Sorry just posted my response as you responded.. yeah I have the 3 optional variations of the Imoseyen kernel that works with his rom.. it was a stock, learn and 368 something... Maybe I'll switch and try them out instead...kinda odd being locked down to 1024000 when the phone can handle up to 1.4..

You are wasting your (cpu) time if you are playing anything more than 480p on it. In landscape mode you only have 480 pixels vertically, so playing a higher rez movie means you are making it scale on the fly and probably dealing with a higher bitrate on the source file as well.

personally, I download a lot of shows with my phone and watch them on the phone. Lots of times(especially lately) I will find stuff only available in 720P.
why no tv?... well, when you drive limos you can't always just go back home in between jobs & I don't want to get a big ol' inverter and bring my laptop.
Interesting. I convert a lot of dvds to mp4 format to watch on my phone and have never had any playback issues. Phone running the latest leak, rooted and debloated of coarse. Unfortunately, the AOSP roms don't have nfl network.
I also use system panel to kill all running tasks before playing any videos. All videos are played on Vplayer and I doubt any of them are 720p. Seems like overkill to me.

[Q] Choppy Music Playback Valhalla Black Rc2

Hi,
I just installed the latest update of Valhalla Black Rc2, and before i complain i feel i must say that this ROM is fantastic in just about every way. Smooth, Fast, Simple, Conservative. Well done and much thanks to RaverX3X and Company. My issue just came up with this latest install. No matter the media player i use, my Audio Playback is very choppy. This issue reared its ugly head immediately after flash, and was never an issue with previously flashed ROMs. To ensure i didn't have a bad SD card, i put another one in to test and the issue still remains. What confuses me is that my Video Playback is perfect. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!

Raver didn't post it in the OP, but yes, it's caused by the EQ. Just disable the EQ itself, but you can leave the other settings enabled to fix this.
Thanks. BTW, if anybody feels they cant live without an EQ, the Market App "Equalizer" works well enough as long as you don't go too crazy with the settings.
Mine has no issues
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
i can use any of the provided effects with the exception of the EQ and it works great. But the instant i enable and modify the EQ settings, here comes the choppiness. Any idea where this comes from? Its funny, it sort of reminds me of the same issue that i had with my Acer Iconia A500. If i recall, that stemmed from a memory leak issue and was mostly resolved upon OTA Updates.
you can use the eq leave loudness compensation off
Your right. However i have to disable all the other affects as well if i wish to use the EQ. Thanks for the ROM Raver!!! Better than good enough to be a daily driver.

ROM/KERNEL Combo that doesn't introduce skipping music?

Howdy all, after some advice please. Been trying a few different ROM'S & Kernels and can't find a combination that doesn't skip while playing music. Maybe I have a dud phone? It is pretty random and not all the time but is very annoying.
Baseband V20c currently using meemo's DNA GB 3.3.3 ROM with samno's new super stock Kernel.
Sent from my skipping LG-P920 using XDA
Probably has more to do with sd card and read ahead speeds/caching
Try an app like SD speed increase and try different settings to see which works best. 4096 works best for me. Also minimizes micro skips in video recording too...
Thanks mate will try that, had myself convinced it was from using sd boost at one stage!
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA
Going to jinx myself but I think it is my external sd card. Bummer so much for getting a 32GB class 10 card. Music hasn't skipped once from the internal card.
Ahhh, would you believe it skipped while typing this!
Think I need a new phone.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA
Still happening
I have flashed a heap of different ROM's and Kernel's to no avail. Intermittent skipping on internal and external cards.
Can the baseband effect this? I am on V20c and maybe that is why the ROM/Kernel's are playing up?
Don't want to go to cyanogenmod (loose 3D) but it is the one that seems to work best.
Maybe I need to get a Gnote and just keep the O3D as a 3D camera.
Any ideas, willing to try almost anything now, love my tunes and it is driving me crazy
From what I know, it can't be the baseband. It only manage your network, I think. Flashing rom with wrong baseband-the only effect is, you don't have network.
Well been running cyanogenmod now and not one skip. DSP manager is pretty great as well. Might just have to make do with out the 3d I guess.

Couldn't help myself, flashed back to stock and so far so good. Looks like no ROM's for me for a while, well at least until ICS!
Try Promethius ROM + Promethius kernel and set longer audio buffer in PowerAMP (+750ms). Works for me.

Well stock didn't seem to last to long without a skip!
Switched to Power Amp on your suggestion and put both the options for audio skip (buffer & priority) on full and it seems to have done the trick!
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
Just wanted to share my two cents... I love the app called n7player... it has a neat feature for streaming music to itself to fix the skip issue... it works great but it eats battery...
Then one day I tried playing some music that was FLAC format... where a single 3 min song takes up like 25 megabytes...
And I had to download a special app that could play flac. And I am amazed that a 25 mgbyte file plays flawlessly with out a single skip... but standard mp3 at about 5 mgbytes skips every few seconds...
So I tried this with several other audio formats... from .wav to .wma to .mpg and they all played fine
All played from my ext SD by the way.. so I don't think it is a problem with read write speed..
Whichever leads me to question...
Anyone know if our phones have a hard time decoding/extracting mp3 compressed audio
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
Thanks for the tips. Might try out some flac and see how it goes. What program did you use? I have power Amp now and that says it will play flac.

Well balls, my phone has random skipping with flac as well.
I have tried a heap of different players, codecs, roms and kernels and yet I get random skipping. Besides the 3d I hate this phone.
Maybe LG should have just released it as a 3d camera.

Rant
I feel as if the o3d was rushed, like they had the hardware part down but not the software part. So we got beta software they released it then they lost intrest in the o3d ($800 from me) they released other phones and then came ics and they were like, oh sh!t lets give them gb yeah that should keep them busy till the next version of android.
We gonna get ics when all the other devices spit on ics and look at it with shame ang lg will be like look theres ics we promised you there it is and will be like, but but what about jellybean which they will respond.. whoa we never said anything about jellybean buy the new 2013 Optimus 3d maX Ultra With ICS then you might get jellybean when android 5.0 comes out lol.
went off topic Also on the Gnexus so it depends i use to have stuttering when i had crossfade on and the stock player has never stuttered.
CyanogenMod works great, except for the fact that when I use it in my car through aux it pauses itself and even when it does play it sounds stuffed!
Can't win with this thing.
Will keep posting any updates here just in case someone else is in the same boat,

In stock or CyanogenMod? Either way I always turn haptic feedback off. Might try the RC builds to see if they fix the aux problem.

stock noticed the stuttering occurred during me touching the captive buttons and the captive buttons lighting up and after the have gone off after switching the feedback of the stuttering hasn't happened tried inducing skipping in poweramp by skipping through songs fast and pushing power on and off nothing happened. maybe its a voltage control issue.
My music 320kbps 48khz 3-9 min
128 kbps 44khz mixes
192 kbps
haven't tested flac
try this also see if it helps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bluesteel.cka&hl=en
The only thing that works is cyanogenmod. Just don't turn the volume up past 75% when using auxiliary out (car etc) as it pauses by itself. Loud as at 75% anyway and no skipping / glitching while playing music!
