Hi,
I got both Asus Transformer with Honeycomb 3.2 and Galaxy S2 with 2.3.4
Neither of them is multitasking ?? I can't listen to the music and e.g. read
emails or use any other app. Going to emails will stop music, youtube etc..
It rather 'parks' apps and not runs nor stop them.
With both of devices running on dual core CPUs this is quite disappointing.
Is there a way, a flag or setting somewhere in the OS to enable real multitasking ?
Thanks
when you switch from one application to another, are you using the back button or home button? the back button ends your application while the home button leaves your application as it is
Thanks,
I see now the stock audio player works in background when using home button.
Youtube doesn't. some apps seem to be privileged to run in background and other are not.

not exactly. I mean, it doesn't make sense to have a video running in the background right?

Not exactly. It all depends on the application - apps have full control over a back button, it can't kill them. But many apps exit themselves on back button.

Youtube doesn't because Google has implemented it that way. Most of users don't want to play videos in the background, so Youtube app automatically stops playback when going background.

It makes perfect sense. I usually have music videos running in the background. It awesome and im disappoied that my asus tf101 running honeycomb 3.2 doesn't allow me to run awesome music in the background. rage!
Why don'y you convert it to mp3?
or, if you want to keep it, I think Meridian Media Player can play video files as mp3.
There is so many songs that are on youtube and there are some cool playlists too. i spose its kinda like a cloud but a universal cloud at that. This docking keyboard is sooooooo slow and the cursor keeps jumping to the browser http: Plus why when i hit spacebar does the input do irregular things. For example: when using youtube i cannot use spacebar on docking board i have to use onscreen keyboard. so annoying. Sorry asus tf101 honeycomb but you may be a dudddd or i this particular tf101 needs taking back and replacing.
sorry for bad english in above text but yea keyboard is playing up.
I saw it in a screenshot for the music player was wondering if there was something for grooveshark, pandora, or spotify that does the same?

I know Android Music Player has controls in the status bar pull-down menu and depending on the Android version (like CM7) sometimes is on the lockscreen as well. You really don't need one with Pandora or anything like that because the icon appears in the status bar pull-down menu and if you click it it takes you right to the song playing.
Maybe it could be built into a rom but I don't think there is an app for that!

I have attached a screenshot of the controls for PowerAmp.
They are not persistent. If you stop music playback the controls disappear from the notification area. You can advance to the next song.

That's awesome I'm going to try that right now.
The thing I miss most about my Captivate with CM7/9 is that they were getting much better with the lock screen controls working with Grooveshark. The first time I saw it, it would work 50/50 with Grooveshark or starting the stock music player. I think that GS did a fair bit of updates to their mobile app in order to make it work better with media controls now though...
I have spent a fair bit of time corresponding with the kids at GS and all I can say is they are freaking AWESOME!!! Grooveshark is my favorite program on the internet EVER!
They also gave me this lil gem, so I kinda love them. Really impressive devs at GS though, that's for sure.
I downloaded a few SBS videos, but the video player doesn't recognize them as 3D...
Anyone have hints or is there a setting to forve 3D mode?

Found this a few weeks ago;
play the movie using the Gallery app. Click on the little 3D icon at the bottom right of the screen. The movie will still show side by side, but will enter 3D mode.
Click the Android options button (the icon looks like a solid box inside a clear box at the bottom left of your phone) and you will get the following options:
Click on the 3D Formatter option. It will provide you with a number of 3D options including Left/Right, Right/Left, Top/Bottom and Fullscreen 3D. Select Left/Right (first option on the left,A message will appear that says: “This 3D data is saved as valid 3D contents with the formatter which you’ve chosen“. From that point on, the phone will recognize this movie as 3D and the little 3D icon will appear at the bottom of the movie. The good news is, as soon as you launch it, the movie will run in 3D.
Enjoy your movie!

If you remove your battery or hard reboot, you have to repeat this procedure as the phone "forgets" this setting.
Good luck, keith
This doesn't seem to work for me. Neither Gallery nor 3D Gallery has the option to go 3D for the movies, except movies I have shot with camera itself.
This is frustrating

If the sbs videos are compatible they will display as side by side videos i.e two identiical frames. While the video is playing touch the screen press pause and press the 2D/3D on screen icon, press the menu button on the bootom of the phone and from the pop up select 3D formatter. touch the sbs icon on the bottom of the selector and all should then be O.K
Yep, this is definitely what I've been attempting to do.
The video appears side by side (for reference it is a LG Demo video) but alas, no 3D button...
Like none. No button.
Would this be a resolution thing?

So I finally got some time to screw around with this and nothing works.
I mean literally nothing. I'm starting to think I have to upload the Video to Youtube, then re-download it to get it to work on this phone, and that's a far stretch.
Can someone actually post screens on how this is done? I am starting to think that the 3D capability of this phone is just B.S. if you can't import files to it.
One other thing I'd like to mention, the programs to which the tutorials suggest aren't the same version or appear to have a different UI and/or presets missing from them.

Are you running FROYO? Stock ROM?
I am running this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963847
Maybe it is a different Gallery/Video Player?
The ICS video player seems to be unchanged from the gingerbread version. I have Used the method I described in earlier post to get sbs video to work correctly on stock rom . The ROM you are on may be different, maybe if you post a thread in the rom's own thread some help may be found there. You could ask for a download for the video player from there or a link to a compatible player. Sorry I can't be more help.
Good luck.

I use 3dvplayer to play all of my 3d content. It's superb. Even plays top/bottom 3d vids. It may solve your problem.

Happy to be of service. Have you checked out the video section on the app ? Lots of vids to watch and download. :good:
I did. Interesting. Lots of them are in Chinese (obviously).
They need a good crowd sourced translation team to get their program up to snuff.

Now I upload APK file as attachment.
I am glad i have occassion for downloading this application, from attachement, as it was since beginning of xdadev, before android era.
Two things after quick test, as I see it:
- no 480p for 480p screens in quality options(-1, okk we all know, that rich people have htc one, or just feeble s4, and 480p suck(especially while used on 480p screens used by majority of poor people without s3 or h1)),
- no skinning(even light/dark), (-1, we all know, that we DO like charging devices' battery all the time, and we all do like white ffffff color as GUI at night, as we are Walmart consumers uisng device in bright light only, shout with me: NIGHTIME SUCK!).
Third, and forth thing:
+ works,
+ feels snappy.
So, when we could expect r2?

Hi, I add 480 support now. Only available on android 4.0+, YouTube only provide 480p in webm format, which means only can use software decoder. Please update the APK from attachment.

I can have Youtube and N7player playing at the same time without issue, so long as I keep the Youtube app as the top active app. Leaving it pauzes it. The Youtube app is apparently not capable of playing in the background. (Or I just haven't enabled that. I never use Youtube. Or Spotify. Or Deezer. Or any other streaming service.)
And second how I can make split screen with 2 different apps don't see option for this only when using Gmail and click link.

Drag the notification bar down with two fingers. Turn Multwindow on (if it's already on, leave it on.). Close the notification bar.
Hold the Back key (right softkey) or swipe from the right edge. This'll open the sidebar. From there, drag the icons onto the screen.
You can open up to 4 windows simultaneously.
