Hi.
I have recently aquired an audiobook, and as there is already the option to listen to MP3 on the G1 I was sure there would be no problem at all.
However after moving the book to the SD card and listening to a few chapters, I took a break, and when i wanted to resume the listening i saw to my surprise that i could only "fast forward" 2 minutes and 54 Seconds on the built in player.
The other option was to click on >> but that would move to the next MP3 file.
I tried to download several other players from the Market, however all of them can only forward 2 minutes and 54 second.... soo my question is, is Audiobooks and other long MP3 files a lost case on the G1 ??
I would really hate to go buy an mp3 player for a problem which should be so simple.
Hope anyone has a hint to what i might be doing wrong.
Best regards

Is the audiobook just one big .mp3 file or is it multiple .mp3 files? And how big and how long is the file(s)?
Hi, and thanks for the reply.
The first file of many has a length of 48 minutes. Others have a length of up to 1 hour.
Its really anoying that I cannot fast forward to where i reached the last time...really thinking about getting a MP3 player instead...
Asking inhere is the last hope
I've noticed that depending on which of the files I try to read it can fast forward a varying amount of time. From 2m54s to 4m50s. However that still leaves 55 minutes on the long files.
Btw the soundbook is Stephen King's "The dark tower".
Best Regards
Meant to ask also if you are rooted? And if so what rom are you on? I had this issue a long time ago but with video files instead.
Thank you again for your time.
It is rooted yes, however it was a while ago, and had to spell through all the steps 1 by 1, so not sure where to look for what numbers.
In my settings I have the following digits if that means anything:
Firmware: 1.5
Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version: 2.6.27-00392.g8312baf [email protected] #1
Build number: Dream_Devphone-userdebug 1.5 CRB43 148830 test-keys
In another thread people say they can fast forward in songs that last for 10minutes... perhaps there is a upper limit for how long the MP3 can last ? (Since it says unknown length on my long ones).

You are on JF 1.5 which is pretty much just like the standard factory rom. When I had my issue I was on the stock rom and couldn't fast forward movies just like your saying. I haven't tried any real long files since I've been loading custom roms. Later on tonight I can try to load a real long file and see if it still happens. But I have played some songs over 10 minutes and it fast forwarded just fine since being on newer roms. So my next thing to you would be, if you want to wait and let me try to replicate the problem and see if its the same or if you want to load a real custom rom like Cyanogens and see if it works then.
Have you tried using a different audio player? I listen to a ton of podcasts, which are big files as well, and simply found that the stock music app just doesn't do a great job with big files. I have had much better luck with Meridian. I can pause anywhere in a file and be sure that it will resume there once I restart, even after a system reboot.

I am running CMs 4.0.2 and electrum drum machine app just gives me a static sound when I load a sound...don't know why just does so now I'm kind stuck with an app that doesn't work and I'm out 3 buck.
Does anyone have the same problem or knows how to fix it please help.
Did the app ever work?
I just bought this 2 days ago and I'm on CM4.0.2 also. It works fine for me. I did notice right off the bat that Kick1 sounds like static/white noise. The thought it was messed up did cross my mind until I tried a different sample. The speaker is so crummy in the phone, that it just sounded bad.
Hope you get it worked out! It's a fun little app
If it sounded bad from the start I would email the dev and see what he is going to do about it.
Like Argusi was saying the speaker is probably the problem. Not really much the developer can do about that. Try using it with external speakers and see if it sounds better. Another option would be to use samples that fall within the frequency range of the internal speaker.
It sounds okay through headphones. It's not BFD or Addictive Drums, but for a couple bucks, it's fun to play with
Yeah i know its not my speaker cause when i play music on it, it sounds fine. I tried using my headphones but that didnt do anything but make my ear drums hurt lol.
So i guess ill mess around with it for a while to see if i can get it to work if not i gotta email niko the dev and see if i can get a refund.....hope i can get it to work.
Thanks everyone for your help!
***deleted*** .. sorry, wrong thread
Hi Rrod15,
Niko Twenty here, the dev. Obviously the app was only tested on normal 1.5 firmware, I think you have custom ROM now, but just a few quick questions:
What version of the drum do you have - is it the latest?
Are all the sounds not working (static sound) or is it just when you tried to load an external sample?
And then the next question - is the external sample from one of the sample packs?
If you are trying to use your own samples they have to be 16 bit mono 22Khz, otherwise they may not load correctly and you will get static.
Let me know how it goes! I can certainly offer a refund if you can't get it to work.
Thanks!
-niko twenty
Yea i got the lastest update not sure exact ver. But its the newest.
The samples im loading r from the add on sample packs u provided and they are all static.
It worked for like a min then when i plug my headphones in i still hear it though my phone speaker pretty weird.
Now on CM 4.0.4
Hi,
One thing you could check is to load up your sdcard into your PC and go to /sdcard/electrum/samples
and then browse thru any folders/samples there and make sure they are there and not zero size, etc. You should be able to play the WAV samples on the PC right off the sdcard.
That would be one thing to check next.

Have any of you seen this thread by Cornflipper at PPC geeks? :
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=109527
I just took the plunge and flashed, I hope this is legit, well if not.... that is what insurance is for right? lol
So, I flashed it and it seems to be a little more stable, it has a new sys and new Radio..... I hope it turns out to better than stock, it will make waiting for the HSPL a little eaiser.
Flashed the new rom last night basically for the new radio ( 2.25 ). I ran it for a couple of hours before I put Sense 2.5 2011 back on it. The radio is better where I live ( I got an extra bar at home ) and the calls seemed a little clearer with more volume. Data and sms seem smoother and the rom seems a little faster and smoother. I do like it better .
After having this rom on for a day or so , the the thing that really sticks out is that there is virtually no memory leak , I can't believe it ! My free memory has been at 52 - 56% all day . Was worth the flash.
I jumped on this and I have to say, I'm really happy that I did. The device is notably more 'snappier' than it was. I never really had much of a memory leak problem, but I'm seeing slightly less memory usage than I typically do.
No problems at all updating, either. The installer that was posted on the first post of that thread worked out of the box for me, painless and easy. Just a re-sync to get my contacts back and some reconfiguration was all that was required. Cornflipper is my hero
One thing I noted that I like, and maybe it was there in the stock ROM and I just missed it during setup, was the ability to set the multimedia button to launch the TouchFlo Music tab. While the music app still seems pretty laggy/slow with a 10GB library on a storage card, being able to use that button makes me happy. If only I knew how to set the volume granularity under TouchFlo. (WMP still makes a better MP3 player mode for now IMO)
Not sure about battery usage, I went down to 90% pretty fast, but I've been downloading/reinstalling a bunch of things. Radio does seem to stay 3G instead of 1X better than it did as well.
I recommend. Nothing appears to have gotten worse.
edit: It also seems that the data connection will turn itself on by default now after soft-resetting the device, which is new for me. It was always OFF for me unless I turned it on manually. Data conn still dies when powering the phone off, though. I've had issues with data crapping out randomly, maybe that will be fixed too, but haven't had the ROM long enough to know one way or the other.
edit 2: I thought I took a major hit in battery life today, without even using the phone for anything it was down to 50% after being unplugged for 9 hours. However, it also charged back to 100% in about 15 minutes, so it looks like flashing the ROM messes up the battery gauge again. Using my original trick of charging, unplugging, charging, unplugging ... until it just won't charge anymore. Worked when the phone was new
I highly recommend it!
I have to agree with the concensus over at PPCGeeks . . . this rom ROCKS!
One of the bigest things for me is that A2DP starts automatically now. When I get into my car and start one of my Podcasts, it imediately plays through the car stereo; I don't have to go ino the BT settings and start it!
The memory leaks seem to have been fixed for the most part - it starts at 52% after a restart and only creeps up a bit from there. I also see far moe 3G coverage than with the old ROM.
I can't say that I have noticed any battery improvement though . . . but it is certainly no worse!
If you haven't updated yet . . . what are you waiting for?

BRosenow... did you do anything to get it to start automatically? I'm not that lucky. Also, is your BT sound of poorer quality? Mine sounds kind of crappy and I think it's the phone b/c my old phone sounds pretty good. Any thoughts? Thanks!

No, I didn't do anything special . . . in fact I noticed it by accident. Since this was a problem with the previous ROM I stopped using it, but one day I just started playing a PodCast when I got into my car and it played through the radio. I was pleasantly surprised!
I can't say that I have noticed that the sound quality is lower (I mostly listen to spoken-word Podcasts, so quality is not a big issue), but I do notice a half-second pause from time to time. It's a bit annoying, but not a big deal considering what I'm listening to - if I was listening to music I imagine it would be VERY annoying!
Installed - but WORSE memory mgmt?

So I upgraded to the latest and greatest and have seen worse behavior in memory management. I used to be able to go a number of days without rebooting, now memory shoots from 58% upon boot to 70% in a few minutes. Exact same applications installed, nothing new but the ROM.
I've also had strange issues where the phone doesn't always ring -- screen lights up, but no ringtone.
Anyone else see new issues since upgrading?
More oddities with the new ROM
FYI: I also manually put my phone into Vibrate mode...it somehow went back into Automatic mode without my knowledge / intervention (which also disrupted a meeting I was in when my alarm went off). Not sure if this is because I was using ActiveSync at the time...but this new ROM is IMHO not nearly as good as the stock one.
ROM is official via Verizon Support Page
Looks like Verizon has made this official. If you go to the support page on Verizon.com and click on software updates, it takes you to:
http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=136&cid=1&mid=364&carrier=Verizon Wireless
I took the plunge two days ago and upgaded to this new ROM. Wow, what an improvement! Maybe it's my imagination, but the device seems to run faster, the touch screen seems more accuate, expecially when typing and cell reception is better.
honestly...
and no disrespect to those who DID notice an improvement, but after flashing to this updated ROM and using my device as normal, i don't see any difference at all.
Sure, they fixed that issue when you first restore your sms database and it takes FOREVER to re-thread your messages...but now, i just see that they "fixed" it by stopping my restored messages from re-threading at all. so much for that..

Dear all,
I noticed my phone has an issue and I think this may not be rom / kernel related, so I would like to ask here.
My phone is running fine every time after booting up, however after running for a random period of times (say 2 - 7 days), it cannot play any media files. I can't play youtube (it said the video cannot be played), can't listen to mp3 (music player reported unsupported codec), ringtone disappeared (phone don't ring if i get call) and other apps failed in similar way. A reboot can solve the issue.
It is a bit annoying (especially when you when to play something and you suddenly identified that you need to wait for 5 min for a reboot), does any one experienced similar issue?
To clarify , I am running darky rom with darky kernel 1.0, however I had this issue for a few months, I was using super optimized kernel and had the same issue as well.
Same here. i'm running Darky's 9.4 but I don't know if it is related to this rom.
I don't remember that I had this problem before.

I have this problem.
(dark kernel 1.4 and darky rom 9.5)
I get this occasionally and I'm on stock 2.2.1. It's a massive pain in the arse. I thought maybe it was something to do with my external micro sd card but I formatted it and waited hours to copy all my music to it again and I'm still having problems.

So quite a few of people having this problem. Did anyone of us find out the root cause? And what's the reason that others do not suffer from this? This happened on Darky, Super Optimized Kernel, Speedmod, Stock Rom...
Some experts can help?
Also know this problem. Had it on stock and some custom roms too. Tried nearly every kernel ever available for our phone but didnt help. so it really maybe some strange Hardware issue...just speculating but when did you guys get your galaxy? cause mine was one of the `first generation` got it immediately when it was available here in germany in june/july 2010...perhaps this got fixed by Samsung later on

I've seen another thread were someone said it was called by the twitter client. They have updated the official twitter client recently, and I've not had the problem occur since. Although, it may be too soon to tell, it used to happen to me very regularly.
And just to followup, the problem hasn't gone away with the new version of twitter.
So, I'm not sure of what is the cause (or solution) to the issue.

Nope, i though you are talking the twitter update around 1 week ago. I just found that twitter have a new update today and never tried it if it fixed the problem. The change description do mention something similar, fixed a bug to skip music player while updating.. not sure if this is really the case.... need to test now...
good topic
I'm going to get rid of the twitter app then to see if it helps as updates don't seem to have done anything and I reformatted the sd card again and stuck everything back on there today and not only did it happen again, it's getting worse! Not only could I not play any music a minute ago, a load of my apps had vanished too! I assume ones that installed to SD by default rather than the phone storage.
If this sorts it out I'll be very happy. Twitter's crap anyway.
I've been having the same problem for a while now. I have just uninstalled Twitter and will see if that helps.
Basically all media stops working. Can't even record anything with the camcorder app. Nothing plays back. No youtube, no camcorder videos, no nothing. BUT arcmedia will open some videos sometime. HMMM weird, because other video player apps don't seem to be able to play them.
I'll give an update later today if it works. Videos normally stop working after only a few hours on my phone.

Do you guys have 8GB or 16GB models?
I've only come across this once and it was on a stock 16GB, one of the early ones, started about a week ago...upgraded to JVB seems to have solved it for now, time will tell.
16gb model, I've had 3 updates, and none have fixed the problem.

Wonder if it's just the 16GB?
First of all much thanks to fattire, krylon360, eyeballer, dalingrin and everyone else working on this project.
I must say that I have been a very, very happy user of krylon360's AOKP ICS build for the past 3 months. It rocks!!!
I have been testing the CM10 Alpha build for the past 3 days and it is very good also. I saw in the dev thread where someone asked why it has 2 status bars instead of a unified status bar, I must agree with that question. Once again, AOKP is great in this respect.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now on to the reason of my post.
The only app which I use regularly that has shown any problem is Pandora. It plays no sound on my Nook, it just repeatedly keeps quickly advancing to the next song. It shows the song info and artwork, but plays no music, just goes to the next song. It does this about every 5-10 seconds, definitely not allowing for the song to actually even play.
Is anyone using this ROM having any success with Pandora?
BTW, I can't post in the dev threads yet. I did fill out the CM10 survey and here is my info:
Motherboard SN: QI11M9FL91D
Manufacture Date: 02/16/2011
CPU revision: OMAP36xx ES1.2
Touchscreen type: cyttsp
I have had no SOD issues and battery life and wifi both are great so far.
I normally keep my Nook muted all of the time except when I want to listen to music, so I'm not sure if sound works OK with everything else, I have only tried it with Pandora and it did not work.
I guess I'll turn on sounds and keep an eye on other apps.
should be fixed in Alpha2

I ran into a similar problem with mine where it wasn't playing sounds in music or video apps in CM10 for a while. Turn your system volume up from your home screen before you start the app and that should clear it up.

Awesome, thanks krylon360, I'll wait patiently.
i am also using this build. looks good so far.
I am trying to build this of my own. but "repo sync" does not complete. :crying: i have been running it for days now still it is not completed. is there any other way to get the initial copy of source.
Just to confirm. Installed CM10 beta 1 and Pandora works again just fine. Thanks all.
I have a Note8 and my Pandora has been rooted for a while now. I have synced it from samsung phone to samsung phone for years. However, now with my Note8, it won't play an entire song. It cuts off at about 18 seconds, sometimes 1 minute, no longer. I don't know what to do. Please help. My Pandora is my life. It is the Bad Seed Customs 1.7 version. Someone please tell me step by step what I need to do to it!!!
Thank you in advance!

What version of Pandora do you have? None of the newer ones work anymore. You have to uninstall and go back to the older version of 6.0 in order for it to work and allow downloading again. Also I did notice recently even with this version though, that if it's not actively open as the current app, it will shut down after a minute or less. So it has to remain actively open now. Before it didn't. I'm assuming maybe with the Android update did something but luckily it still works though and I'm still able to download songs, but only in m4a format and no longer MP3 as the last version that did work did. I'm not gonna complain though, it's a free modded version of Pandora so I'm happy for now until someone cracks the newest one.
