Database Develop

bTunes

Does anyone have a clue why when playing music with btunes, after my screen goes to standby it wont play next track in playlist until I unlock it or at least press power button. All other music players work fine but I like this one the most.
I have already tried setting higher cpu values in overclock widget and even removing it.

I've experienced the same using "3 - aka cubed" on stock 1.5. Flashing VillainRom12 solved it for me.

Anyone else having Kimera 2.1 with oc kernel experiencing any issues with btunes?

JAC kernel bug: using audio randomly kills phone

(I figured to post this in Android Development as it wasn't really a fit for any other forum; and made its own thread since multiple ROMs and threads use non-stock kernels.)
I ran into an issue running JAC's OC/UV kernel, as detailed at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806116 . Essentially, whenever any kind of audio was playing, whether through headphones or the speaker, local media (i.e. mp3 player) or remote (i.e., Pandora), at some point the phone would just.. die. Capacitive buttons wouldn't light up, no unlock; music would die; and basically a battery pull was required to turn the phone back on. adb logcat reports nothing - you can see the audio streaming, then the logcat shut off with the phone.
Based on the thread above (and searching the Bionix thread), it seems that a non-stock kernel does this. (There are only a couple of posts out of the thousands on Bionix's thread.) I have not tested KingKlick's kernel, only JAC's; perhaps KK doesn't suffer from this. This issue is independent of overclocking/underclocking the phone (verified by setting JAC kernel to 1000/200, then uninstalling setcpu); Voodoo lagfix (verified by disabling lagfix and running audio for about an hour); and ROM (tested using multiple versions of Franken-Twiz and Hybrid - maybe there's an inherent issue with eugene's mods, but I haven't seen any other posts.)
I suppose this thread serves as a warning/bug report for anyone that might encounter this issue if running a non-stock kernel. The best way to resolve AFAIK is to revert to a stock kernel.

Thank you for posting this! My phone had suffered from this at random times since I started using JAC's kernel. I asked about it in a couple of threads but never got a single reply. Glad to know it's not only me

I'm running the same kernal and about 20 minutes ago running pandora my phone just turned off too and had to pull the battery to restart

Had that issue at the Gym the other day, not even on Bionix.

I had similar issues, also with the KK Kernel, its not just JAC's kernel. You don't have to pull the battery either to get out of the freeze, you can hold the power button for several seconds and it does a hard reset.
I have found though that the KK Kernel is less likely to do it if you set your setcpu to 400 min and 1000 max before using pandora. Those settings seems to have worked for me every time..also after setting up pandora make sure to fix permissions with rom manager.
Just a little work around, try it to see if it works for you.

Actually this is a known problem since even the G1.
If you have anything like setCPU, which I do, and you set the idle or lowest speed lower then 400 Mhz the phone will more then likely freeze up when playing music or when going to idle.
I don't remember off the top of my head what causes it to do this when it goes below that certain Mhz, but Im sure I or someone here can dig the old thread up.

Man without this thread I could never get pandora to work with a custom kernal. I setcpu at 400 min and 1000 max and not a single freeze. Thanks so much for posting that tip, you made my day.

Ive had this problem to.... but it was ONLY with Jacs 1.1, I revert every ROM back to his 1.0 and have no problems. Everytime I dont, I get a phone freeze.

I was having this problem with jac's newest kernel so I went back to his first OC/UV, it is a known problem and he's working on it according to his twitter. how I got around this is I used his OC script and got rid of setcpu, from what Quadrant says I'm still running 100/1200. Hope that helps you guys

Interesting. I'll try installing JAC OC/UV/Voodoo again and see if this observation is consistent.

Yeah, I think the problem only exists when you use the OC kernel with setCPU, and setup setCPU under 400Mhz, other wise the kernel with out setCPU works just fine when it goes below 400Mhz.
Once again I don't remember why it does that but it has something to do with setCPU not being able to initialize properly after the phone goes idle and falls below 400Mhz.

Would have to agree. There's a bug somewhere. Not sure if its limited to jacs though.
Currently on masters rom kk. Only problem is pandora.

i had this problem too. kinda disappointed cause the kernels make everything run so much better. so i had to go back to using stock cause i listen to music a lot :/

There's definitely some hardware variability, because I can't recreate this bug. I listen to music all day long (MixZing, Slacker, Pandora) running 1.8 w/ JAC's OC/UV Voodoo. Never seen this.

Likewise with Jacs 1.1, had a couple other weird issues running that specific kernel too, not a single problem when I flashed back to 1.0

i get this same thing. ive had it happen with SetCPU both installed and not. right in the middle of a good song bam phone just shuts up. walk over to my toolbox and sure enough the phone is in a state of being divided by zero and only a battery pull lets it return to the world of the living. not greally a good thing when i have sevearl iphone dorks in the shop and they pop on over to my speakers and they say out of the way lets plug in a REAL phone. makes me want to scream LOL. ****ing iphone >_<
i retort with soooo when you get it out of the box....thats it right? nothing can be changed right? oh look that program sucks....what you cant make your own? ...yea...i thought so. hey look im making a call in the scrap room surrounded by 4ft thick concrete walls.... i got full bars lol. they got nothing in the empty parking lot cuz there holding it wrong LOL

I tried that though, as you can see in the thread I linked to above. Uninstalling SetCPU didn't help..

I think it's hardware.... One of the unlucky ones....

Try with a stock kernel. Jac and kk kernels do uv by default, which is like overclocking in reverse. It has the same possible stability issues.

[Q] Pandora streaming is choppy on my HTC hero CDMA (CM7 flashed)

I recently flashed the aospCMod-20110123 (gingerbread) on my sprint HTC hero. The upgrade has been awesome so far except for one really annoying issue. My pandora app hasn't been playing properly (I uninstalled and reinstalled the app). The music becomes choppy when the screen turns off. Reactivating the screen fixes the sound most of the time but it's really annoying. I haven't had this issue before with CM6.1 (froyo). Did anyone else see this issue ? I would greatly appreciate for any possible solution to this problem.
Thanks.

If you are using the kernel that comes with the ROM:
Go into CM Settings and then performance.
Within CPU Settings, change the governor to ONDEMAND.
You'll have to reboot. If that alone doesn't fix your problem then bump you MIN CPU setting to 256.

What is your min set to? Probably needs to be bumped up to 264 or whatever.

Thanks for quick reply. However, I don't find the CPU settings option under Settings->CyanogenMod settings -> Performance. Is that enabled by a separate app that I may be missing ?

If you flashed a different kernel, you will not see the option. If that is the case, you will need to use Setcpu or Deca's battery tweak.

Thanks poashll. I installed cputuner free app and restarted ph. That completely jacked my ph. I kept on getting "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly.." error. Nothing seemed to fix it. So I restored my cm6 backed up rom. Thank God that I had backed up my prev ROM. Then I downloaded and flashed the latest CM7 nightly build. This one had the CPU Settings option. Before I mess with it, I backed up my current configurations (it's a real pain in the butt to re-install all the lost apps and configurations). And then changed the governor to ONDEMAND. Now my pandora works great and battery life is still good!
Thanks a ton for all the help! I appreciate that.

hmmmm... I have been having the same problem since I installed ASOP gingerbread. and still have it with CM 7. adjusting the cpu settings work fine for me as long as I don't let the phone's screen go to sleep. but if the screen stays awake it's fine....
any other setting you suggest? kind of a waste of battery to be running pandora AND have the screen awake all the time.

I set the governor to ONDEMAND and the MIN to 264. But like a dummy, I didn't set the 'Set on boot' option so my settings reverted when I rebooted...

How is the ondemand governor different than the standard interactive governor?

Mine is still on interactive, but the min is on 352. Anything lower than that for my phone, and it will skip when the screen turns off.

Phone freezes while playing music

Hi, im new to rooting but i have a question about music players and my rooted hero. I'm running aospCMod latest version with everything updated. My phone has only been rooted for a week but it just started happening yesterday.
The music player im using is called SongBird Beta, its a new player that might not run friendly with rooted devices but it was working till yesterday, and i've had to force close the app or pull my battery because my phone wouldn't respond. i WOULD post this in the aosp thread but i dont have enough posts lol..
is it just the app or is it my rooted phone?

I'm also running aospCMod and alot of times the devs will tell you to raise the minimum cpu setting from 176 to 264 or 352 and try it. It usually fixes the problem. Check under settings -> cm settings -> performance.

I am also having those troubles. (older version, newer version)Pandora, Music Player and Double twist. Through Bluetooth, head phones and speaker. Skip, Freeze you name it. I have tried raising/lowering the settings and that has netted me the same result. Performance, Interactive, Ondemand, Userspace.... Tried it. Jit on and off... tried it. Flash, reflash, format, reflash... tried it. I am going to go through my notes today and try to flash a sense rom and do the media card scan fix to see if that works. IDK... Could be just the end of the Hero's life for me.

Try reflashing your recovery if you have not already. Try a new/different sd/card. Also you can try a nand of a rom were you weren't having the problems and TB the app+data then restoring it to your current rom. Also you can try a fastboot erase system if your s-off to have a definite clean start. "Warning" fastboot will erase everything. That's if you haven't tried it already. Well good luck
Yea it's Me Again With The
Modified Hero

Thanks Laie!
I did flash AOSP's latest recovery then back to Jason's then to the original 3.0.0.5 and back to AOSP's latest. Funny thing for me is that Pandora will play for about 5-10 songs then is will chop and freeze the phone. After a battery pull the Pandora is choppy but wont freeze the phone up until later. So I cleared cache, tried uninstalling and reinstalling and Nand. Same deal. I am going to test my songs on the SD card next just to be sure.
Then, new card. Phew.... This is fun... I am having fun... I think.

So question with regard to the streaming of Pandora. Is there a timeout setting for the phone to go wonky on Data? I am now wondering if the 3G or Data is dropping the ball. The screen sleeps fine and music continues. Then after about 10min (on average) it skips and locks the phone. I have sync and bluetooth disabled for now. Hooked up to the head phones.
692/276 no jit no frills. Hell I didn't even configure my mail yet.
Hmmm..
Figured I would isolate one issue at a time. Sorry for the hyjack of the thread OP. Maybe this will help you too.

Make sure you don't have a task killer running that's killing it off. I personally don't use them. They kill apps I'm running and eat up more battery imo. Just food for thought that one could be set too aggressive.

Good suggestion but not using any either.

There is a setting in pandora to keep it happy, can't remember what it's called, but it's there. I also can tell you if you tried ondemand again, it would work. Also raising the min to 352 no matter the governor. Both of those methods have worked time and time again, try it. Edit: also, the new "purge assets", or vm heap, or compcache setting could affect it, but I doubt that's the issue.

I used fastboot reset device and let it reboot. Turned on Pandora and it's been playing strong for 45Mins. Here is run down.
Re partitioned 4 times using 1GB, 2GB, 4GB then back to 1GB. 256Ext size always. Re flashed fresh. Interactive 691/264 no jit. Crashed once. Rebooted, reset using fastboot, reboot and it has been playing through headphones for 50 Min now. Bluetooth is the next test. Thanks Duce and Laie.
I will add this is the first time in about 3 weeks I have been live for longer than 30 Mins. I tried CM7's and AOSP's. Much prefer AOSP's, less bloat and Zeam are a must for me.
EDIT: 1 Hour Headphones, VanHalen Channel

My plays stable with 19-691ondemand

[Q] Rom that plays video past 70min?

Hi all,
Has anyone seen a gb rom that plays or can be tweaked to play video past the 70min mark? This is a rather big thing for me, as I often take trips and like to watch movies on the plane.
I've been able to get CM6.1 and most 2.2 roms going with collin_ph's battery tweak that enables the stagefright audio. However, this doesn't seem to work with any gb rom I've tried:
CM7
aospCMod
OMGB
Deck
Evervolve
And I really like these gb roms...esp aospCMod!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

are you talking about your battery just dieing or it literally wont go past 70 minutes ive never had that issue when i was on the hero.

Are you talking about your screen freezing? Most gb roms (CM7 specifically) always had minor media issues for me. Music, videos, Pandora app etc. all freeze or skip after a while. Try using that new Wildheroc sense rom, I've had much better media performance from it versus CM7
Sent from my wildheroc using XDA Premium App

to fix the freezing just set your cpu to anything over 352 low.

This is the issue with videos over 70 mins where the video freezes and the sound keeps playing. After a while the video jumps back to about the 10-15 minute mark, but the sound is still off from where the video is.
It was discussed briefly in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864403 for a while starting at #14691, but I never saw a resolution.
This was fixed in 2.2 with the enable stagefright fix in collin_ph's battery tweak, and you could evidently do it manually by altering the stagefright line in build.prop, but when I looked at the build.prop on a couple of GB roms there was no line, and inserting a line brought no joy.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything, I've been searching for days and days and actually see very little on this issue. Guess not everyone watches full-length movies like me.

I actually had mine set at 352 ondemand, to help with the camera issues, but it never helped long video playback. Thanks though!

Yeah, I tried Wildheroc out for a while, but I just love the simplicity of Aosp and my LPP. I may try going back to sense though cause this is just that important to me. If I do, I may throw down on the v6 supercharger tweaks and see how that does.
