I received the update last night, but when I click on a song to preview it the music does not play. The play button does a little spinning loading animation, then it turns in to a pause button but nothing comes out.
At first I thought my volume was low, so I pressed volume up, but it just turned up my ringer volume. It just doesn't register that there is media playing.
I can download songs and listen to them using the music app just fine, I just cannot preview them before I purchase them.
Is anybody else having this problem?
I have a rooted G2X running the stock room.
p.s. I tried it on my rooted Xoom and it works just fine.
Edit: I should have mentioned that I have rebooted my phone, cleared the market data and uninstalled market updates, but that didn't work.

Same here. Also Im not seeing the Tmobile Free songs, but my roommate on his Mytouch 4G is. Not sure how to fix either of these issues, Ive tried the whole resetting the market thing, but no luck.
I can see the free Tmobile songs just fine, I just can't preview them

Update: Turns out I was being impatient. The songs do play, but it takes like 20-30 seconds per song preview to start. My brother and sister both have the same phones as me, and theirs do the same thing. My dad on the other hand has a mytouch 3g and his music previews start up instantly.
I just don't get it. Now the question is how do I speed up the connection between my phone and the Market Google Music servers. I really don't think its my internet, because it does the same thing on wifi, and I have a pretty fast internet connection.
Your right! I tested today on my phone and its the same, 20-30 sec wait before it plays the previews. I also was able to get my free Tmobile music to show up. I wonder why it takes so long to start up, I wonder if it is also linked to our 15-30 market loading start up too.
Ok, after messing with it for a bit more, I think I'm on to something. I was trying it on my mobile data plan, and I noticed that as soon as I press play the data arrows light up, so it's definitely doing something. Now as soon as the data arrows turn off, the music preview starts. Now I don't know why, but what if it's downloading the entire preview before it actually starts, but even on 4g, 15 seconds for a 90 second clip is pretty slow.

I've noticed this since I got my Captivate - wondering if anyone know anything about it or if they are having the same issue. When I'm using an app (any app really - camera, gallery, market, Jewels, etc) - the phone will do it's mild vibration for haptic feedback and I can see what appears to be the home button blinking, then it will close the app and go right to the home screen - all this is with my hand nowhere near the home screen. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
One of the reviews I read mentioned this problem. Apparently it is a production problem for a small number units and you will need to exchange it
Interesting - thanks very much - now I can stop trying to figure it out and just take it back to AT&T for an exchange.
I just noticed the same behavior with my phone. However, this is already my second Samsung Captivate! The first one would periodically would spam the home button over and over after unlocking the phone and essentially become unusable.
Ugh guess I'll have to swap it out for a 3rd time.
RPK.Chris: do you have a link to that review?
It's in the main phonedog review but the behavior is demonstrated starting around 6 min 16 sec I think..
http://www.phonedog.com/videos/samsung-captivate-at-t-unboxing/
Looks like I'm stuck with it till at least the 25th - they don't have any replacements coming in until then at my local stores.
I've been having the same issue, it's bugged out and starting spamming the home key on 3 occasions in my first day of use (just got it this afternoon).
Had mine swapped out today... so far so good

I got mine swapped out yesterday after work - went to another local store and they had actually just got a new shipment in so they gave me one from the new batch. Interestingly it seems that not only is that issue resolved but the phone seems to be snappier than it was. It's nice to finally get to experience the phone in full!
Had the same problem with my first phone.
swapped it out on tuesday and no problems so far!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Well, having used it for awhile now, my new unit seems to have the same problem again except it spams the search button instead of home, and it happens a lot less frequently. Guess I'll have to have it swapped again.

Yes, twice. Both times have been while an app was firing up/loading and my screen turned off (because I have my screen timeout at 15 seconds). It would just freeze and not respond to anything, then the random haptic feedback (I don't even have this turned on) and I'm back at the homescreen. It appears to reboot, except without the splash screen. It does media scanning, auto update of time, and the signal comes in.
Alright guys, I have a simple question for ya.
I've recently flashed CyanogenMod 7 onto my Droid 1, and have been experiencing problems. They are as follows:
1) After a phone call, I either need to wait about 5 minutes to get my data(3G) signal back, or reboot because it never gets a data connection back
2) I can no longer multitask as efficiently, and example is if I'm listening to music (Pandora, Rhapsody, or the default music app) and I go home to do another activity (Facebook, Browser, Pulse, etc.) my music app stops playing and the ongoing notification disapears.
3) My Facebook contacts are no longer kept in sync. It still is the same version as the one I used on CM6.1.2. However, when I do select to sync, it adds the contacts, without pictures, and within an hour, they are removed.
4) My messaging app, although it is locked in my memory, still is being killed by my system.
I've tried restoring, fixing permissions, formatting data and system.
So: has anyone else that hs CM7 expierenced these problems and if you did, did you have a solution?
Thanks in advance

I have the problem with Pandora/slacker and mutlitasking... though I haven't had any of the other problems. I'm on nightly #25. No solutions yet.

1) Known issue with all GB based ROM's for the D1. Enable airplane mode a few times to force it to come back.
2) This is due to GB's aggressive memory management and the D1's lack of RAM. To help this you can do 1 of 3 things.
A. Use Swappa 2 to make a swap space on your SDcard.
B. Enable Compcache at about 18% or so.
C. Change ROM's and use Project Elite 5.0.2. They have a function that allows you to lock up to three apps into memory so they don't get auto-closed.
3) I don't use Facebook so I'm no help there.
4) Refer to number 2.
Good Luck!
Hello I'm having the same problem. My Droid seems to not be able to multitask very well anymore. My music player will often get killed by the system randomly, and it has made this phone pretty much useless for music.
I have tried enabling compcache and everything and it doesn't seem to help. I assume this is a problem of the Droid not having enough memory?

I'm running CM7 RC4 on my droid and the only "issue" I've noticed is that I get a low memory warning from time to time.
What kernel are you running?
Perhaps CM7 is too much for droid at stock speeds.
The 1.1Ghz low volt Chevy kernel does a very good job for me.
Do you have any issues with music playback? Maybe my kernel is the problem. The 1.2 ghz slayher kernel bootloops with my CM7 but it worked fine on CM6.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Sorry to post again, but I just wanted to update you guys. Flashed the Chevy 1.1 LV kernel and am still having the music player shut itself off when I try to open other apps. If I leave the music player up in the foreground, it will run all day with no issues. The minute it gets sent to the background, android seems to kill it within seconds.
The taskbar notification for the player will also disappear, but may reappear randomly as I continue to use my phone. It will appear briefly, then vanish. The music will never resume playback, however, until you physically hit the pause button and then the play button.
The sad part is that this behavior was exactly what my Motorola Q used to do. The thing had so little memory that the minute apps were released from the foreground view, they'd almost instantly close. I hate to say this but I think the only solution is a new phone... I guess android has finally outpaced the hardware on the OG Droid.
I've tried everything setting the music & media processes to 'always keep alive' using the little blue fish memory manager, but that doesn't seem to work. Like I said before, *something* is closing the music process very aggressively when it leaves the foreground and I'm not sure why it's doing this.

Yeah I'm using cm7 on my Droid incredible. Everything works fine except, sometimes applications such as messaging app and the default web browser restart randomly. I'm also using the kernel that came with it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I've found that particular memory-hungry apps tend to cause the music player to close itself. The browser for one, almost guarantees that the music playback will stop. Last night I was able to keep the music playback going while switching between my SMS inbox and Tweetdeck. However certain other app combinations don't seem to work so well.
I've heard some talk of "bulletproofing" ... is this something that could help in my case? What does it do and how do I go about locking the music player in memory?

Hi guys,
I have this great phone for 3 days now and I have a big broblem. It's losing it's sound after some playing with apps and movies shot by camera. Movies would not play, just stay in black screen. At first I thought Talking Tom is causing this, because it was happening whenever i run it. Only full reboot was fixing the problem.Yesterday I did full factory reset with SD erase and set up my phone again with all e-mail accounts and apps, but NO TALKING TOM!
Today the problem appeared again after I was playing with camera and "Connected Media". No sound, movies do not play. On top of this I got a sudden phone restart !
I called HTC support, and after an hour explaining what my problem is they advised me to do a full reset again and NOT to install any apps from the market. I will use the phone for a day or two and see if it's app related issue....
Anyone having similar issues?
My HTC serial starts with HT15EV....
same problem
I'm having the same problem with my friend. bottom of the screen gets very hot. After 3 minutes the phone turns off the sound while playing the Tom Cat. turns off the phone during a conversation.
exactly! It's maybe app related...I'll report in a few days of testing...
After I've installed talking tomcat ( free version ) my sounds where gone.
After doing a factory reset everything went back to normal.
This has happened three times to me ..
Lost sound .. had to do a reset to fix the first and second time.
the third time .. i was able to fix it opening and closing / playing
with the sound Stuff..
Also Noticed the phone became un-responsive was very laggy.
This is a real problem ..
If it happens and you have all your stuff installed..
I am having the same problem with audio, sometimes I get it after playing angry birds, other times watching a video online. It has also made me late for work one day because I didn't realize the sound went out and never heard the alarm. I wonder if its a LOT of phones that have this problem.
The audio problems started happening to me too! The soound would cut out in the middle of watching a movie. Quite annoying,
So far I've only had audio problems whenever I launched the Talking Tom Cat, other apps I'm using aren't problematic.
I had sound go off during just normal use and very slow gps locks (10 minutes)
lost connection as well.
I don't have Tom cat installed but i put 4 films on my sensation and the sound will be ok for 1 and a half minutes but then it goes off u can skip to further in the film and it will work again for another minute and a half then go off again My alam has let me down a few times aswell . Not very happy
i am using TOM CAT on my sensation, but never faced such probl.
Serial starts wid - HT15ZV
For all those having these issues could you please post up the build dates ?

I have same problem, It happens when I use talking tom for the second time without restarting. Then I have to restart my phone. I am using stock ROM !!
I dont think it is related but all of a sudden my alarms on my phone (alarm clock) dont make any sound I just get the vibration..... yes the ring volume is all the way up, yes it is checked to make alarm sounds while in silent mode, yes I have tried diffrent ringers.... the only thing I didnt try was rebooting the phone.
no sound
i have no sound in any rom.. it's been this way for a while.. i can hear through the ear piece but thats it.. i can't hear with headphones either...
Since the mango update there is a small change slightly irritating me.
Everytime when I push the power butten when in sleepmode the lockscreen shows.
But since mango it takes about 1 second to show the information like date, texts, mails etc..
Does anybody has the same problem and knows how to fix it?
I hate it also i dont think you can fix it
same situation on my mozart, it's unfortunate but maybe it'll get fixed
the thing goes away if there's song active in mini player. so, go and play a song, stop it, turn off the screen and then turn it on again. there will be no more lag in displaying clock and callendar.
the lag will come back if you go and play a video. the song will go away from the mini player, and lag will be present till the next time you play a song.

That one second must be killing you
For me it's not a big deal. I guess this might be battery saving feature so phone doesn't have to sync all the time while it's off.
I had this problem and it ended up going away on its own after a few days.
I have a focus
I had this issue during the beta, however it was fixed in final release. Not sure what to tell ya.
I assume it takes about a second to gather the data, but I haven't suffered that delay either. It probably depends on how much email and contacts and other data that you may have.

I can confirm this. I did a few tests this afternoon. Youtube videos do not appear to invoke the bug, but videos played in the music/video app doe result in the delay.
I created an account on xda just to tell phobius87 what an outstanding individual he/she is. Treat yourself to a milkshake Phobius, or, if you're lactose intolerant and of legal age...enjoy a smooth refreshing alcoholic beverage.
Hey guys
I'm having strange problems with Android Auto on Honor 8x.
Sometimes, it works great. The navigation bar shows up, and when I click the audio button, I can see Pocket Casts and Spotify as intended.
However, about 2/3rds of the time, Android Auto doesn't work properly. Either, the bar at the bottom is blank, or my audio apps are not recognized, and pressing the audio button gives the prompt 'Pull over and install android auto apps when it is safe to do so'.
I'm trying to figure out why it works sometimes and other times not, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I've tried making sure spotify is open before connecting the phone, I've tried making sure it's fully closed, wiping caches of android auto and google apps doesn't seem to make a difference after the initial set up either.
Anyone else?
I'm having exactly the same issue except for me Google play music always appears; just Spotify is sometimes there/sometimes isn't
I initially thought it was a Spotify issue and downloaded Deezer which had exactly the same issue after a few days
I've found sometimes that rebooting the phone works but I've also resorted to reinstalling Spotify at times
I'm just sitting waiting patiently in a hope that it's some "feature" which gets fixed when pie is rolled out, but who knows!
Let us know if you find a fix! ??
I've given up
Mine was just weird full stop! Screen goes weird and kept locking up, half the time 'hey google' wouldn't work amongst other things. I ended up deleting it.
Glad to see it's not only me. It's great when it works, but it's always when I'm about to head out on a long drive that it ****s the bed. The 15 minute journey to town of course, everything's mint..... Having other problems with the phone as well with it's heavy-handed regulation of pretty much everything. No DNS-based or VPN-based adblock can seem to stay alive either. Tried them all! I really hope a decent custom ROM comes out one day, but if not I will probably cut my losses and head back to Moto. Shame really, because it's great value for money and an AOSP version of same hardware would be mint.
