anyone else having issues with poweramp? works great for a couple weeks, then nothing seems to make it better. i end up flashing a different rom and the problem goes away for a couple weeks. currently running a ported rom. doesnt matter whether i'm on froyo unrooted/stock, rooted, gb port, or gb official release.. cant seem to figure this one out. i've always restored app only, never restore app data. and i have tried removing and installing a fresh version straight from the market..
when this happens it sounds like a cd skipping and the ENTIRE PHONE freezes. it can happen with the screen on while using the phone or with the screen off playing music through the headphone jack. i've tried different voltage settings and profiles, thinking that maybe im UV too much.(but the phone doesnt freeze any other time) when this happens the ONLY way to fix is to pull battery. none of the buttons work, capacitive or external, and the touch screen is completely unresponsive. this is driving me crazy. last night i tried clearing app data and it made no difference. this does not happen with ANY other apps.
ANY IDEAS?!
Did you try emailing the dev?
I've been running PowerAmp with Voodoo on Emancipation for awhile now without any problems. Have you tried any other music player to see if you get the same problem?

i have not used any other music apps, but i can tell you that this is the ONLY app that crashes the phone. the only thing i didnt like about gb custom roms was that my sms app(chomp sms) wouldn't sent messages sometimes at all, and the stock sms app was intermittent.. ported roms were better for me. and everything force closes on froyo.
Anyone else have issues where poweramp won't see the tags for several songs resulting in them not showing up whenever i go to the library? Some of the albums are missing songs and some entire albums don't show. I can see them without issue in other music players and I can see them in power amp if i browse by folder but they don't show up in library.
Never mind, found them under unknown artist and just manually changed them.

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?

I didn't think this would be a development thread so i'm starting it here. This is just some of the random issues I'm having.. and was wondering if anyone else was having these or any other issues.
The unknown notification on lockscreen is apparently for other people too.. and i've noticed it's dealing with the stock messaging app. Has anyone figured out how to turn off the counter on the stock launcher for the stock messaging app if you're using a different app like Handcent?
Random lockups. My phone will not come out of sleep.. or i won't be able to unlock it. nothing will be on the screen and i have to pull the battery in order to do anything.
random FC of an app.. or just not even notified of the FC just get this vibrate then double vibrate and everything crashes back to the home screen. First did it when i started setting up the device. and done it a few times since. I've also had one time that was continuous of "vibrate...double vibrate" over and over and over and over.. you get the picture.. and i had to pull the battery.
Is anyone else having these issues or anything similar? Or should I run back to the store and exchange this sucker?

No problems here at the moment, had it about a week and havent seen any of the problems you are mentioning. But this is just for me.
I get this hard crash (vibrate... double vibrate... soft reboot) at random times. It seems to be when I'm running several apps at once. For example, driving to work,I use (Google) Navigation and Doggcatcher for playing podcasts, while GPS and Bluetooth are both enabled.
These apps have been rock solid for me with the 5 other Android phones I've had. Besides, the crashes happen with other combinations of apps. Come to think of it, audio playback is usually (always?) involved, be it with Xiia or the stupid built-in music app.

that's what i've been noticing. but sometimes i'm not even running many apps. i haven't put much on the phone since i've been having these issues, but these apps work perfectly even on my G1. i think i'm just having odd issues with my phone pretty sure its getting exchanged on monday.
I hav the odd vibrating too...Not sure if I should return the phone or not.
Sent From SK4G
i think the "odd vibrating" where its a single vibration.. then 2 quick vibrations.. is a sign of an FC.. not 100% sure.. but thats what i see going on when it happens to me. I've also noticed when i'm outside and thinks i'm selecting things or moving the trackball thing. always to the right.. i think my phone is faulty..

I like that it vibrate to tell you, but other people don't get that?Maybe mines is faulty too?

I get the double vibrate and bam, FC's. Usually when im trying to open up and or lots of stuff at once on my phone or using a different launcher "adw" or others and it would happen. Wheres the fix ey.
is anyone having a problem with notifications? i use GoSms, and it doesn't seem to sound the ringtone i have selected, the message just comes in silently..... and same with Beejive IM, and i think K9 mail. all these things worked perfectly on my EPIC 4G.
i was using handcent.. and it was working fine.. minus the unlock screen unknown notification. but everything else has been making sounds just fine.

Dang ok, well I may have to unroot mine if possible, and take it back, haha. So I'll be watching for a response to your question in the other thread.
Edit: I fixed my notifications..... somehow my notification volume had been turned all the way down, so I wasn't getting any sounds for texts, emails, etc. Not sure how it got turned down, but sometimes I guess settings can get jarred by various things we do to our phones.
I've had a few android phones, but so far I have not run into this issue with any of them. I am running stock + root (though the issue was happening before root) and every once in a while I'll notice an icon is missing from one of my home screens.
Typically, it's been my Scrabble icon that goes missing. Sometimes it will be TouchDown or Words With Friends that disappear, or it will be a widget. Has anyone encountered this?
I've tried doing a reset of the phone, but still run into the same thing after a few days. I have checked to make sure that an update was not done to the app, turned off auto-updates for any of the affected programs that I've noticed so far, but still I find that the icon disappears.
I'd appreciate any input as to a way to find out when/how the icon was deleted from the screen. Since I'm the only one that uses my phone, I don't think it's being dropped accidentally by someone else. I do know that I have used an app's icon before going to bed, but when I wake up the next day, it or one of the others that was there is gone.
Have you moved any of these apps to the SD card?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Nope, not running anything from the SD card. I use it mainly for moving music and the occassional movie between two different devices.
That was happening to me too on stock 2.3.6 but after I flashed sky ics ROM it fixed it

it has happened on every single rom. including skyics....skyics does it the least out of any ROM I've used...but it still does it...i have 155 apps installed...every other reboot I end up with 150 or less....
and I could reboot again...and lose more apps...i have to reinstall them...sometimes they will all come back after a reboot
NONE are moved to SD, default install location.
this is the only droid that has done that...it's really weird.
I have been having issues with the music app on CM9 v3.4 where it plays the first 2 seconds of a song then jumps to another and keeps shuffling through my library until i force close the app. I have re-flashed and done a clean install multiple times and its still an issue.
has anyone else seen this or know how to make it stop.

It's pretty common knowledge that at the moment, the cm9 is buggy as hell.
Google Music for now
its been pretty stable for me except the music app. I think i may have fixed it though i disabled the flip to pause in the settings and it doesn't seem to be happening anymore.
thanks anyway
Hey everyone,
wasn't sure if this was a ROM specific glitch so posting it here. Basically, I use Reaper 2.1 and it's incredible. But recently it's gone a bit strange.
I had audiobooks on my phone, and last week it started playing them instead of message notifications (I use Mortplayer for them, and it didn't run when this happened). I had to delete the audiobooks to make it stop. But then, it didn't play any sounds, nor was there any vibration.
The phone doesn't seem capable of saving my sound settings at all. I change them all, and the next time I get a notification it's silent, or plays a sound I've never heard! (a random one from the list)
I stuck it on vibrate when I was waiting for a call, and lo and behold it didn't vibrate.
It's really weird and I just can't think what would have caused it. Any ideas before I full wipe and reinstall Reaper or a fancy new ICS ROM? Forgot to backup earlier, it was all going too well!

Try Titanium Backup from the Android market (now Google Play). Not only does it backup apps, it restores data and settings. Works nearly always. Even across Android versions, say from ICS to GB or Froyo. And all these can be achieved with the free version.
On the flip side, a full wipe thereafter is recommended. You might want to try Primo-S (Sense 4.0 on ICS) for a fancy ROM
