Funny Behaviour: Camera makes music speed up 1.5x - 2x. Lol

I just noticed something funny.
If you are listening to music using Windows Media Player on your mobile device (WMC_Shekhar) and you open up the camera application, it will speed your music up by 1.5x, 2x, without "chipmonking".
It seems to be due to I/O issues, both apps hogging the same resources.
Try it for lols. Get a rock song, one that you always thought would sound much more awesome slightly faster (like pop rock) and then open your camera application.
Many lols will be had!

Yeah..i have also noticed this ..its been like this since WM 6..You wanna know some thing else
When you are flashing the rom i.e Running the Upgrade Utility on your computer..first Open up WMP and play any of your fav songs..the Upgrade will only take about 15 minutes..I have tried it,shekhar,buzz all have tried it

Wow, that is truly bizarre.
I will have to try it, thanks for letting us know

Power Amp Music Player

If anyone is looking for a really good music player with a nice UI and equalizer then POWER AMP MUSIC PLAYER is exactly what your looking for. Unlike MIXZING which was my daily driver (as far as music players go), POWER AMP MUSIC PLAYER does not skip or force close the equalizer when you use apps or browse the internet. I currently have my phone hooked up to my surround sound system and I am running the POWER AMP MUSIC PLAYER app while typing this post on my phone (of course) and there's no lag or choppyness of any sort. This app supports equalizer, lock screen widget, home screen widget and currently 3 themes. The downside is that this app is a trial, but I gaurantee that you'll purchase this app before or at least at the very end of the trial. NO I AM NOT BEING PAID TO ADVERTISING THIS APP NOR DO I PERSONALLY KNOW THE DEVELOPER OF THIS APP. I just wanted to shed some light on this app since I love MIXZING, but hate the fact that the equalizer will not function when other apps are being used. THIS APP CAN BE FOUND IN THE ANDROID MARKET BY SIMPLY TYPING "POWER AMP".

It was laggy for me. I hit uninstall and it was gone. I didnt care about all the other junk.

It was? What part of it was laggy or was it the whole app itself? Every single part of the app felt smooth to me, but I guess we have different views.

[Q] Music stopping randomly on WiFi only Xoom

OK so I have tried the stock music player, TuneWiki and PowerAmp and all three seem to have the same issue. The music will simply stop playing and it acts as though I pressed the pause button. I have my Xoom in the standard HD dock and I have seen this behaviour both through the speakers of the Xoom and when I have external speakers plugged into the dock.
I have tried to determine if a notification is stopping the music, but it does not appear to be triggered by that. I tried sending myself an email to both my Gmail and Touchdown (exchange) accounts and the notification played but the music resumed as expected.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

I have noticed this too but for me it only happens when loading something or deleting things and it must be using alot of CPU.

not sure if this is correct, but maybe it's not the CPU - maybe it's the internal memory. I mean, let's say you're playing music, and in the background you've got google services, tweetdeck, weather widget etc... updating data and then you open the market and so on
seems like a lot of things using the same memory. If memory was seperate like on the NExus One (some internal, some on sd) it wouldn't happen...

happens to me once in a while on my 3g xoom... doesnt bother me much. however sometimes the music app totally closes(force close) and sometimes the music pauses itself.

Happens to me sometimes too.
Sent from my Xoom

Mine does kind of the opposite....every once in a blue moon it will open the music app

I too have noticed this but only when another application is attempting to make a sound or notify. For example when I am playing music and an email comes through ... the music will pause while the email notification is playing.
I would check your running apps. Some poorly written apps might be grabbing the sound for some reason even though it is not needed by the app.

Mine does this on Wifi Xoom as well, only appears to happen on stock music player, winamp has worked fine. I think I has something to do with other apps running or transfering data over usb.
I think motorola/google need to release a stablity/bug fix update. Theres a few quirks that need to be ironed out.

Yea, stock music app seems to be full of bugs. For me it always resorts to having to reset the xoom because the whole thing crashes. This plus the constant force closes in browsers is really starting to annoy me. Winamp seems to fix the music issue but no other market browser solves the other issue. Sorry to get a bit off track. Google needs to get their act together. I don't think I've ever seen even a windows release this buggy.

The new ICS beta-3 ROM

I would like to list few problems that i encounter after flashing the ICS-beta3 ROM through nvflash to my dell streak 7...
1. on press the wake button, before unlocking if i press the wake button again, the tablet freezes.
2. Titanium backup doesnt seem to work
3. bluetooth doesnt work properly
4. trebuchet doesnt work if the persistent search bar is turned off
5. LED too doesnt seem to work
6. few apps seem to ve lost compatibility
All said... DJ_Steve et al are doing an highly commendable job... thanks guys!
People do share your experience with the new ROM, any bugs, cool features, work-arounds....

Netflix does not stream video, just audio

also my .wma files are not being played by the music player any more and the power led doesnt work too

Tried it today, looks promising. Interface is pretty and seems a lot faster and more responsive than honeycomb. I switched back to honeycomb only because video playback was choppy. Something to look forward to for sure.
Mad props to DJ_Steve and other people who are contributing.

As for the video thing use a app called mobo player get fro the market it's free and if you run in it you tell it run the video file in soft-decode mode. And the video and audio is great. No Mater what kind of encoded file I give to pplay.

indeed the build in action is snappy.
also i ve been using mx player for video playback, i find it quite good.

HTC ONE Music Player

Hi Guys.
Can anyone tell me is there a way to get the HTC One default music player to work with other devices such as the S4? I love the htc music players visuals when you press the note button and you get the 3d effects, however I dont really use the htc one as it does not work with my setup, but would love to get the player on the s4 or even an alternative from google play?

HTC One stock music player apk. This is the app you can move to your phone and install, but I'm not sure if it will work on other phones or not. Make sure you install it to system/app as it's a system app. Hope this helps.

I am not sure of it( because I use PowerAmp mainly), but i think the stock HTC player needs the Sense framework in order to work properly.
But you can just try out the .apk provided to see if it is working

Thanks folks, having read up it looks like you need the framework for it to work, I see they are working on a sense port to the S4, its a shame there is nothing like it on the market as I think its the best music app I have ever used and I have tried them all!
