i am having issues with the 8tracks app pausing, stopping after about 20 - 30 seconds of play when on cellular data. this does not happen when on wifi.
i have a skyrocket running a tmobile rom and radio. i have flashed a couple roms and the issue exists for both, so you can rule out the rom. i have also flashed a couple tmobile radios, so you can rule out the radio.. what else could it be? is anyone else having this issue? i am forced to skip trap to get music to resume.
btw, other music streaming apps are fine. pandora, google music, amazon, etc..
thanks for any input, i need my 8tracks!
I'm assuming u don't have access to LTE. If it doesn't do it in wifi it may just be that the downstream for that app is slow in your area. Try mhx superlite 5.1 with the not uclcl5 radio. I've read that its really good on 4g
i am on tmobile btw. i did not have this issue with my nexus one, so not an area issue. thanks.
i've started to narrow down that this problem can be fixed if i reboot the phone, but the problem will come back after some time.. maybe 1+ hours until i reboot again?
what is going on that clears the problem when i reboot? streaming cache? buffering?

Running slacker premium. While streaming music over 3g/4g the music will pause at around 10-15 seconds. Then resume a few seconds later. This is happening on my phone while it was unrooted and rooted . Can someone test this out with a slacker free or premium account on the G2x?
This did not happen on my N1
i have a free account. it did this to me at work the other day. i thought it was my bt headphones. but it started streaming normally after awhile. then next day it gave me problems loading. used winamp that day. it seems spotty so far. will test at work again tomorrow. i only get edge in my house.
I'm having issues as well. Songs just wont play and if they do they only play for a few seconds regardless of whether im on wifi or 3g. Going to contact them about it since it seems to be a device specific issue.
EDIT: Just tried it on my Vibrant over wifi and am having the same issues on that device also.
Try xiialive.
This application allows custom URL and it runs smoothly on G2x and X10.
slacker released an update earlier. streaming works perfectly now
I'm running the stock ROM and Slacker continues to freeze on me, even if I am listening to cached content.
Yeah the slacker app hasn't worked at all for me even after it was updated after the big upgraded. Tempted to cancel my service, as I was only in it for the caching
Hello fellow posters,
I am having a very strange problem that shows its ugly head with Napster and Slacker Radio. The song will play for exactly 12 seconds and then stop. The song will then resume again several seconds later. The rest of the song plays fine from that point forward. I find it strange that it happens on both apps at the same exact time (12 seconds). MOG doesn't seem to have this issue.
I have a 4G signal with at least 3 bars when the issue happens. The problem doesn't occur is streaming from WIFI.
Is anybody else having problems with these apps with their G2X?
Thanks for your time,
Lance
I have the same problem. I was running the gingerbread leak thought it was that. So I'm back on stock same problem.

Napster and Slacker Radio
Does anybody have ideas on how to resolve the issue (song stops playing after seconds almost every time. The song then starts playing again after several seconds).
Is it a phone issue since it happens on both Slacker Radio and Napster? Any setting changes that can be done?
Thanks,
Lance
I haven't tried napster, but for slacker, try version 2.1.191. I loaded it with titanium backup. The last couple versions suck, and apparently not just on our phones/roms. The market comments are BAD. lol...
Not sure how to locate it if you don't have a backup. I'll see about getting the apk somewhere.. It was free on the market, so I can't see how it would be "piracy"...
I have the same problem with Slacker, so it's unusable on my G2x. If this isn't fixed sometime soon, I'll be canceling my paid Slacker account.
slacker updated again today. so far so good streaming over 3g
I had to turn on High quality mode in the settings menu, then the song would cache all the way in 3g. If it's in normal quality, they song doesn't cache all the way and will occasionally skip. Wifi works normally.
I've also disabled the local stream manger in slacker as well. Not sure if that has done anything
I tried again with the latest version and disabling the "local media server" option. Already had high quality enabled.
It actually plays music now. Thanks for the tip. Now if we could get music apps not to stutter when the cpu gets used... Sigh. A dual core should NEVER stutter music when multitasking.
Yes it what the "local Media server" not "local stream manager" . Sorry about that; I didn't have my phone on me.
Glad you're working. Not even sure what that feature does.
i deleted slacker. the damn app wants to run for so many actions. check it out using an app like autostarts. it starts running for a ton of different actions,things that don't even make sense.
winamp is almost as bad,but tolerable.

I disabled Local Media Server too (never noticed that option before), and it seems to be working properly for me too. Thanks everyone!
I have Napster and I have the SAME EXACT problem. The only way I got around it was to download the playlists so it wouldn't skip. It's extremely annoying. I've already informed LG about the issue a month or so ago. Its only on Napster tho. Not Rhapsody or Pandora.

This apparently just showed up with the last update (yesterday or today) and fixed my streaming issues in slacker too (only had time for a quick test though)
Anyone else have this issue, music keeps stopping when playing through the headset, sometimes it could happen after 5 mins, others after an hour, happens in all music and podcast apps, hasn't happened with the FM radio yet though.
Used to happen with me. I had my music player greenified and, after some time, it would auto hibernate. Make sure it's not something you're using.

Yes its happening to my moto as well
So seems we have a fault somewhere. I remember this happening with my old Galaxy S2, turns out if cell signal went it turned the music of for some reason, not sure if this is the same problem though

It happens to me too, I think that OS kills the music app when the RAM is almost full.

I've managed to fix it, a factory reset fixed the issue, give it a try.
I'm getting this problem too. It happens with FM radio as well as music playback with Blinkbox, Google Play Music. It never used to happen before the recent KK 4.4.4 update. Before I do a factory reset does anybody have any other suggestions?
I have this weird problem with Pandora over LTE. It won't load songs and play unless I toggle airplane mode on and off. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I never use to have this problem and I can't figure out why its doing this. No other music streaming apps have problems (play music and SoundCloud). I have to toggle airplane mode after every song. Its really annoying. My N5 is completely Stock and I am on Straight Talk

I am on Android 5.0.1. I have even factory reset my phone and I still have the same issue. I can't figure it out at all. Pandora works fine over WiFi, but not LTE or 3G. All other music streaming apps I have work just fine. If I start Pandora and let it try to play a song. It will start then have really buffer issues. while it is buffering if I put airplane mode on then off the song will play just fine over LTE, but once a new song starts I have to do the same thing with airplane mode. I would ditch Pandora all together and just use Play Music or SoundCloud, but both of those apps use so much data. ( I listen to about an hour of music a day) I have Play Music setting set to the low quality, but from what I have read online it will stream the best quality your connection will allow. I have great connection everywhere I go in my home town.

Slacker? I would try to file a bug report with Pandora. It may not be up to date with Lollipop.

Pandora claims they have no issue with 5.0 or 5.0.1, but I can not use the app. I really only started to have this problem when I updated to 5.0.1. May flash back to 5.0 to see if that fixes the problem.
Here's an interesting side note. If I turn on the hotspot feature on my N5 and connect my N7 to it and play Pandora on my N7 everything works fine. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

jdawg0024 are you on Straight Talk for service? I am running KitKat (4.4.4) on my Nexus 5 through Straight Talk and I am having the exact same issue. I have tried everything as well and cannot figure this out. Songs take a long time to load or will not load at all. Once they do they will skip like as if being buffered. Works fine over wifi connection and all other streaming services work fine as well.
Up until today I did not know about toggling airplane mode but that will make the songs play. I would love to get this figured out..........
Pandora streams fine for me on T-Mobile lte with xtrasmooth 5.0.2 ROM. Also had worked on kk4.4.4.

Good to know but I dont think I will be trying a whole ROM just to fix something that should (and used to) be working with the stock 4.4.4

Yes I am on Straight Talk. I have called them, but they say they aren't blocking any services. Pandora has since emailed me and said that they are aware of the issue, but do not have an ETA on a fix

Although I have a feeling that it is Straight Talk's issue. I know 3 People who have the N5 and they are all on 5.0.1 and each on a different Network (Verizon, Sprint, and ATT) all of their Pandora Apps are working correctly.

I have also spoken with Straight Talk and specifically asked if my service was being throttled and they said that it was not. I am tempted to try a reset and upgrade to Lollipop but would much rather have it working as is.

I can tell you that a factory reset will not help. I thought it was 5.0.1 that was causing the issue so I flashed the 5.0 factory Image and that did not fix the problem. Then I flashed the 5.0.1 factory image and that did also not fix the problem.
Clearing the Pandora cache worked for me.
Hey guys. Ia anyone having any issues with background data? I don't get push Notifications When im not on WiFi. Even when I'm on WiFi, my screen needs to be on to retrieve them. I've tried toggling the background data setting on and off. Music seems to work fine though, streaming. Tried prl and profile updates and even hard reset. I also installed the software update. anyone else having the same issue? Ia there a setting I'm missing?
Tyia
I have something similar, it seems to update but only when it wants to. Specifically with some apps data works only when on WiFi. For Example Google Play Music takes forever (I mean 10 minutes to load one song) to load songs on Sprints Network, but it is immediate on WiFi. Same thing with Facebook App, it will take 15-20 minutes to load data when in Sprint Network. As soon as I connect to WiFi it works immediately. Other apps work great, others don't.
Had the same issue. Sprint told me to do the ##72786# trick. Seems to work so far.

Grrrr i don't get it. I tried that, still a no go. Google play music, google wallet and hangouts don't work period on lte. But voice search and the google app works just fine. No push Notifications on anything except on gmail for some reason. So frustrating, i don't get email notifications for work which is bad. I blame sprint's software team because my sprint note 4 and the s6 on verizon and att have no such issues.
I also posted a thread describing the same issues. All i know is sprint bette be working thier asses off on this because this is ridiculous i miss my gvoice txt for work because of this. If a customer cant txt me than i lose money. And im blaming sprint right now
Not to mention that the workaround is to use wifi. To use wifi!! Did they forget that there is also a major bug with wifi draining the phone like crazy as well. Pretty messed up
I've got the issue back again. I'm going to best buy to return. My wife's white phone is working perfect. Do you guys have the black version?
White, im outside of my 14 days. I have the white.
It works! Out of nowhere today , all of the issues are gone !
Guys please contact your carrier and samsung this is a bug affecting a lot of phones. I'm on the 4th and it is still an issue. The first 2 were black 64gig models and the last 2 are gold 64gig models.
