none, although there is some DSP manager and voodoo control, but i doubt they are causing it, as they are just settings apps
Was wondering if anyone has had this problem that i have and if there is a fix for it. I am using the stock rom and when i play podcasts or music in general in any app i want to multitask and research what im listening to but honeycomb seems to kill the task and its stock nothing to make it do it i want it to play audio in background while im surfing the browser or other areas but it just kills task.
That might depend on the app. I know that TuneIn Radio will play in the background. In fact, at first I wondered why it didn't stop.

guessing thats normal then since it doesnt do it in other apps. i tried doggcatcher and beyondpod but it kills them must be an app problem but they say its not. oh well
Maybe you need to change priority of your app to Foreground? But sound likes really this app doesn't support playing in backgr

I'm not a heavy podcast listener- but for what it's worth-
I use the google listen app for the ones I do listen to...it works for listening while browsing... I'm running stock HC on my ds7 as well.
the ram for the dell streak 7 available is only 256mb, and HC 3.2 was setup so that it automatically close the task in background if it run out of memory.
the only fix is that go to development in settings menu and uncheck the box "close background apps"
I tried to install some leaked JB custom roms such as Ultimate, SVA, or Rocket rom. In my opinion, JB battery drains faster than ICS custom rom.
why? kernel issue?
I also tried Jelly bam and slim bean 4.1.2. Those roms have better battery life.
Screen on time is only 3 hours on JB custom rom as the same usage, and ICS or AOSP JB rom have more than 4 hours screen on.
I do not have other android devices. Basically Jelly bean is worse than ICS on battery life? How about galaxy nexus between JB and ICS?
I hope official Jelly bean update will be fixed this battery issue by Samsung.

i have xxlsa and 4 hrs of screen on time. it will take some time to settle down... also check for wakelocks and apps that drinks the juice
Most JB leaks have a media scanner issue with large folders, it keeps running in the background draining your battery at high CPU load
Try to go into Settings -- Applications -- running and stop media scanner and see if the problem resolves
if it did, download a free app from play store 'rescan media' to stop media scanner and enable it on demand.. However, new media (pics and music) will not appear on the gallery or the music player if u didn't run the media scanner first (Provided you have rescan media disabling media scanner)
Best of luck

Agreed.
Also look into disabling Google Now if you aren't using it. That's also a major cause of battery drainage. My battery life increased by a decent margin after I disabled media scan and google now!
Also disable location stuff like GPS and the other ones that help my battery a lot

I agree the battery drains faster with the JB leaks. Confirmed with every ROM I tested, however it's not that much compared to Samsung ICS ROMs. What really helped me is JuiceDefender Ultimate customizing the settings so it turns off the radios and limits the CPU clock when the screen is off, besides other things. But when you are actively using it, there's not much you can do.
try alliance beta 1.1 LSC it gives me 4.5 hrs on moderate use ...
Hi,
I modded my Xperia T with Cyanogenmod to jump from Android 4.1.2 to 4.3.1.
After that change, I noticed the standard music player was replaced by Apollo, which sucks up battery power unlike the original music player (it could go for hours and not make a real difference in power consumption, like 3% in 1-2h).
I'd like to have a similar performance but still have it interrupt itself when I get a phone call, watch a movie clip or even better: when the GPS gives instructions (though I appreciate the volume drop when an alert sound plays and the stability of the app when typing text).
Thanks in advance!

I like Poweramp very much. Even prefer it over the Sony Walkman app
I also use PowerAmp. I've tried a few others, but always come back to PowerAmp.
I use Poweramp for my music playing needs, and it works great, but when I open Chrome or Facebook, the system automatically shuts off the music. I hate this, and I have tweaked every possible option in the Poweramp configuration to keep the service alive, but nothing works. I can understand that the device starts shutting down other software when running out of RAM, but I would expect it not to close the media player app.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
The same happens to me with Google play music too. But some times the music playback stops even when I'm not multitasking, meaning I play music and lock screen and listen thru my headsets.
Any thoughts?

Same problem here. Happens with several music players including Poweramp and Shuttle so it's not necessarily a bug within the music players themselves.
This will happen to me even when there is 150-200MB of RAM free, so it seems strange that it feels the need to close these background apps.
I am now rooted with a custom ROM, but this happened even beforehand, I had hoped rooting would help matters, sadly not.
I assume all of your music is on an external SD card? Have you tried playing music from the internal storage?
I have my music in my internal storage only and yet it happened.
For the last two days play back is smooth after I updated to Play Music from Lollipop.☺☺

Strange, I couldn't recreate the problem when playing off internal storage. I will have to try another SD card and see if the problem persists.
-------------------------
I'm fairly sure its an issue with my external SD card. I moved a few albums onto my internal storage and could not recreate the problem despite keep as many high RAM usage apps open as possible.
I switched back to using music on the SD card this morning and it crashed within minutes. All of this has been tested using Poweramp.
I can think of a few things to try and will report back
Try Internal storage - Success! Unable to recreate the problem. However not a brilliant solution as I have only 5GB of usable internal storage.
Accessing over 20GB of music - Try a smaller subset of folders - Problem still occurs.
Using a 64GB SD card, reformatted to FAT32. Try smaller 32GB SD card. - will report back when I have tried this

Try ram manager pro, it should solve your problem.

I will try the free version of that app anyway, just to be sure, thanks.
Pandora and Play Music also stops for me when I launch Clash or Clans but they both keep playing when I launch the Chrome browser and view some pages. All the apps I mentioned are installed on internal memory.
So, for me, any music-playing app (including streaming apps) stops when I launch certain apps but not when I launch other apps.
Also happens for me. A reboot will suppress the problem for quite some time
I am thinking it might really be memory manager problems.

I did experience one single crash while playing music off internal memory, but it happens 10x as often when playing off external SD card, so I guess that's not the only issue here.
If it was purely a memory manager problem, then why does altering the priority of poweramp make no difference to the crashing?

Guys,
This is a memory management problem in moto g.....There is a moto forum post regarding this.. Here is the link https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6168839e0e ..Please make some noise so that they fix it with an update.. This happens not only with music app but also with other background apps...Cant play music while surfing...
Same problem.
Any active music player crashes once I start web browsing. It is very annoying. Please has anyone found a solution. I've tried all possible solutions such as, clearing app cache, wiping dalvik cache from bootloader, reinstalling the music player. Nothing has helped as yet. Also can't really multi task with the phone right now. It seems that any process that is not in focus is stopped in sometime.
Off topic, even asphalt 8 does not run proprlerly, it too crashes in between races. Think it is related to the same issue.
Thanks.

Well if it really is purely a memory manager problem it may be related to another issue I have:
Often, when locked, pressing the power button takes 5-10 for the phone to wake. when it does, I am usually greeted with the "com.android.systemui isn't responding" message.
Anybody else also experiencing this problem? (note: you won't see the message unless you have "Show all ANRs" ticked under Settings->Developer options)

Yes, it happens to me as well. I hope Motorola fixes this.
I guess this might be a stupid question but has anyone tried using ART? I believe the memory management varies between ART and dalvik (although I don't understand the exact differences).
I'll probably try this over the next couple of days in any case to see if there's a noticeable difference.
Looking for solution
I'm on ART and haven't seen any differance.
So I tried freezing some Moto system apps (though it might be bad for the system) to free up some RAM. After that I've installed Auto Memory Manager and tweaked some minfree and OOM settings. So far so good. Tested out Spotify stream in background with Chrome tabs open and switching and taking pictures with the Camera app. Chrome Tabs still refresh when i switch in between but the music still runs in background.
How about you guys?

Hey thanks for the tip. I installed Auto Memory Manager and did some tweaks. I'm using rocker player, I also doubled its buffer and white listed it in auto memory manager. I'm running dalvik, its working better. It still quits but not untill i open more than 4 tabs on chrome and do multi tasking.
Also for any music player, if you swipe it out is recent tasks the music stops. Which never happened it the earlier versions of android.
So try a trick, swipe the music player out of recent tasks and start music from headset button of wedget, then see if the playback stops while browsing, for me it hasen't yet.
If possible please try out and confirm whether it works or not.
OK I tried patching my memory manager to make sure my players don't get killed. It worked, but now chrome gets really laggy when I am using it while playing music. It might be the system causing lots of memory leaks when accessing external SD. I noticed that ES remote manager also gets killed if on background when copying large files to external SD.
Chrome is ofc smooth with material design and stuff, but man it sure uses a heck loads of memory. I'm using Dolphin as default now

This would make a lot of sense since there is a massive difference in the frequency of music player crashes when playing off internal vs external.
Anything we can do about it?
