I thought i read some where that the nexus 5 used little very little power when playing music (60hrs) is there any truth to this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
I remember reading that but i've seen no evidence of it so far.
I read it somewhere and snapdragon 800 supports some kind of audio method which greatly reduces power for playing songs but as a N5 user default mp3 player is a battery eater.
Its called dsp tunneling, and yes the nexus 5 can do it, thing is it only works with locally stored music files and you wouldn't get that long play time with WiFi and/or 3g LTE on.

Is anyone else experiencing "skipping" when playing music through Bluetooth? It's happening using Pandora and the stock music player.

I found that mine skipped when I had wifi on (and was not connected to an AP). Try turning wifi off.
Thanks. I'll give that a try.

That happens to me every once and a while even without Bluetooth. My theroy is that another CPU process is running (like sync) slowing the CPU down to a crawl. I am not sure why that happens with a 1Ghz but it also happens playing Modern Combat so I'm assuming thats why. Froyo should fix it.
I've been listening to music (stock samsung player) over bluetooth (Motorola S305) since a couple weeks now, no issues, no skipping with or without wifi.
mine seems to do it at the beginning of the songs within the first 30 seconnds to a minute of first listening. then it doesn't really do it too much(maybe once every few songs). I attribute it to all the widgets I run raping my phone day in and day out. poor little captivate... she takes it like a woman though.
Thanks for all of the replies. I tried turning wifi off and that worked for me.
I'm having a lot of issues with Pandora and slacker radio either freezing up or starting to play a song and then skipping to the next song. Anyone else have this?

same issue
I have the same irritating issue.
i am especially irritated because i owned an iPhone 4 right before i made a switch last week. had the iPhone 2 years, never had an issue, and i use semi-daily.
hopefully they address this issue pronto
I have the same problem. I originally thought that it had something to do with beats audio, but I now think that it's a symptom of the overagressive memory management on the HOX. Check in the "general" area for many threads about this. Contact HTC to complain and get support rolling, too.
I'm thinking it was a memory issue too but I wanted to make sure. I had the 4s and this is really frustrating to me

I have been having the same issues with Pandora as well. However, it surprisingly worked very well last night after I updated to 1.82 RUU. I used it again today and no problems. Maybe it was related to an issue with the wifi problem in 1.72.
Honestly, I had the "Pandora randomly skips to a next song" on my iPhone as well. Might be a server-side thing.
Coming from my iPhone 4s it had no issues with Pandora. My one X had to buffer each song and sometimes double skips songs.
It also buffers my google play songs
It is a small annoyance because my iPhone was quick and buffer time was less than half a second easily.

was having the same problem, if only att would unlock the damn bootloader we could flash cm9 and it would save our worlds
Compared to Pandora on iOS, the Android equivalent is utter garbage.
No lock screen controls, longer buffer times, connectivity issues, less updates than iPhone version, etc. Considering we have better hardware than iOS this is unacceptable.

I've noticed the same issue on Pandora and thought it was just me. Is this an HTC issue or Pandora though?
I also have the same issue.
I'm using the One X international version with version 1.29.401.7. What about you guys?
Slacker is fine for me

Have noticed this issue using MOG and occasionally Spotify as well. I think it's an HTC issue personally.

+1 for the pandora skipping problem. this is coming from an htc evo with no problems.
had another random problem too. i use pandora in the car, headphone jack to aux in on car stereo. for some reason occasionally when i get a text, email, or any other notification, it stops the song to play the ringtone, and when pandora comes back on it's at a much lower volume. tried unplugging and plugging back in, no go. my only option is to completely exit pandora and open back up. also happens sometimes when i use the mic to speak a text to it.
Also having this issue on my One X. I thought it may have been a bad install so I uninstalled it and tried again. Same result.

I too have tried several reinstalls to no avail.
maybe its the data connection?
I remember that I used to have this problem on my htc magic also, but it wasn't the memory management but the data connection (my home wifi).
because for some reason my wifi only stayed connected for about 3 mins and would restart.
so I'm thinking it may be the same issue, that LTE data doesn't stream as consistently as hspa. so maybe the ro.ril can be edited for more stable connection??
just a guess so i could be completely off
I highly doubt its a connectivity issue. I have very good data signal when i use pandora and it skips. I dont use it on wifi, because im running or at the gym so it isnt a wifi issue. Im almost certain it is a memory management issue that is killing the audio and then pandora wants it back so it starts up a new song which brings the audio back to the foreground til another task wants the number 1 spot which will eventually kill the audio again.
Does anyone know a fix for youtube on cm based roms im getting bored that i can't watch videos lol thanks

Hmm, am I weird or I don't have that issue? I just watched about 4hrs of YouTube videos (Modern Marvels) but not directly on the phone, just pushed to the TV from the cast thing to my WDTV.
I played a few quick videos on my phone directly too before doing the above and it worked just fine. I do have issues with it on HSPA even though I have 7.5Mbps speeds. Either routing or prepaid carrier slowing down youtube purposely!
Hello all just got my nexus 5 and loving it so far. Was on iPhone for many years but tinkered a bit with Android. I am having issues with google play music not showing music that I download until I restart my phone. Is any one else experiencing this or know how to get music to show with out reboot? Any help appreciated. Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I have the same issue. This is using the default Play Music app. Cannot see music I have downloaded until I reboot my phone.
I fixed the problem by changing to different music downloading app

What music downloader are you using? I have this same issue with Music Maniac.

Try simple mp3 downloader

Which developer is it by? There's about 8 different ones and they are all the same but they are by different people haha

Try the one with the most downloads. For som reason I can find the one I have installed on the play store hah. They all look like the same thing anyways so not sure it matters which you get.

I'm looking for a new player to use for my device, because Poweramp is extremely glitchy. anything can help. thanks

What kinds of glitches are you having with Poweramp? I've never had any issues with it.
Yeah, no glitches / issues for me as well! Runs smoothly..
If you want a change, you could try Musixmatch or rocket player..

its like from now, if I add music files, more specifically, .aac files, the time of the track has seemed to double, yet starts at the middle of that doubled time, so it plays normally. why am I looking for a new player is because it actually cuts the track at the end too early, and I want to actually listen to entire track.

I don't know about the doubling thing, but the end of the track being cut off is probably because of your crossfade / gapless settings which can be adjusted.
Personally, the only music app I ever used was Poweramp until I switched to Google Music All Access when I bought this phone. I haven't looked back.

what I meant was that it actually cuts off 2-5 seconds before the track ends. I've used the Poweramp forum to discuss my problems with little help.

Doubling of track time is a problem with the specific music file and not with PowerAmp..
Even I have faced this a few times but it was because of the bad file... I re-downloaded the file from a different source and everything was ok!
Seriously, there isn't any music app which I've found better than PowerAmp and I've been using it since ages!

My advice is Walkman Player...but you need root...the clearaudio equalizer is something that is amazing! I really love it!
You can try Shuttle+ found on the Play Store.
