Hi
I have bought samsung galaxy ace about a month ago and now it started to shut down/restart randomly without a reason. I found out on web, that that is called sleep of death error and that it happens often on this device.
But i allso found out on my own that if music player is running, that doesnt happen. So does anybody know, how much batery does music player consume,if the music is playing all the time and if the sound is off? And if anybody has found out a better solution please tell me.

Hey all, just a quick problem I'm having with pandora. When I'm driving around listening to pandora it will randomly stop playing a song and I'll have to skip to the next song and it will play fine again. Anyone else have this problem? I've tried reinstalling from the market, and it's persisted over several roms and 2.1 and 2.2. Any help would be great! Thanks.

I'm a bartender and I plug my phone into the sound system to play music for the whole bar when I'm working, and I often stream music. For a while, I used Pandora but it would stop like that and/or freeze up and I would have to force stop it in task manager and re open it, which takes at least a minute (and in bartending, is a lot of time not spent making money). It got to the point where Pandora would stop every 4th or 5th song. Mind you, this was the same whether I was on wifi or 3g. Anyhow, I switched to Slacker and it's been almost flawless. It also actually plays the ****ing artist that I create the radio station around.
i also had this happening to me a while ago but it seems to be sparatic with my phone, lately it has been working great with wifi and 3g. It usually happens to me though when i am on a 3g network when i want to listen to something other than my ipod. Then other times i can be at school just sitting doing my hw while listening doing hw and it starts stopping on me. Unlike you though mine seemed to stop when the screen shutoff and i would have to press play again and as soon as i did that it would stop again. Think the problem was due to ATK but dont really know if that was true
screw pandora now.

I have also switched to slacker in the last couple weeks and will never go back to pandora. You are correct in that you actually hear the artist you chose quite often.
My wife and I notice that a lot when we are driving home from work listening to it via bluetooth. Every 3-4 songs it does that. In the middle of the day I never have a problem. I'm pretty sure their servers are likely just getting overwhelmed.
Was beginning to think it was my phone doing it...will try slacker now.
I, too, am glad to know it's not just my phone. Everything you guys describe happens to me also.
I never heard of Slacker, but will check it out now.
This has been an issue since version 1.5 of Pandora. It's very lame.
If you can find an apk of version 1.4.x, supposedly it was more reliable.

Found pandora 1.3 apk on droid forums and is working great! Ill post link later.

Pandora 1.3 --->https://www.box.net/pdn-android-apps/1/46972990/467842722
Downloaded the 1.3 apk..installed...froze on first song! I give up.
I think I'm done with Pandora. Anyone have any advice between Last.FM and Slacker? I'd probaly go with the premium on which ever one I decided on.
Cog 4.1 btw
Just chiming in to say I have the same problem. I only get a few songs then Pandora stops playing. Not sure if it has to do with the phone going to sleep. I have seen some posts about "Mobile Data Always On" option but I have yet to find that on the Captivate.
No its pandora! I just downgrade to 1.3 and been fine since.
Hi guys,
Have updated to 4.1.2 official but does Extended Power Mode now kill the Walkman app?
On ICS, I could turn the mode on and the Walkman would still work.
Now, it plays one song, then the music stops and starts if you turn the screen on.
Any ideas please?
I updated earlier today, sorted out my playlist for the gym and then suffered the same problem... for the duration of an hours CV session.
You would not believe how annoying it was pressing the unlock button after every track for that period of time while you're blowing out of your hoop!!
The phone nearly got thrown across the room!!
I'm not even using extended power mode as that was one of the things that I looked at as I went through the menus.
It's a known bug with the walkman app in jellybean and has nothing to do with the power save mode.
People are using different audio players from the play store as a work around at the moment until Sony fix it.

Hi everyone,
I've had weird battery life with my phone since I flashed official V20A. Sometimes the phone goes into perfect deep sleep and sometimes it gets stuck at 51 MHz and drains battery like hell !
There are many people here complaining about the same problem and that the phone drains battery quickly over night.
The cause of this problem for me is that Mediaserver keeps running in the background even though I'm not listening to any music. Usually happens when I unplug my Headphones without pausing the music first (and sometimes it happens for no specific reason).
To check if this is also causing a problem with your phone, go to Settings - Power saver - Battery use - scroll down and tap "Mediaserver". Look at "Keep awake” and know the exact time, go back and wait for a few seconds then open Mediaserver again. If Keep awake time has increased and you're not playing any music, that means it's causing deep sleep issues.
The solution of this is to simply play then pause music payer (I use PlayerPro).
I have no idea what's causing this but this seems to be a temporary solution for me.
Let me know if this also works with you
I think i have the same problem,but i dont use the music player and i dont have any music on my phone.
The awake time of media server is 8h 33m. Any other solution maybe?
I don't have media server at all but in running application i always find active DMClient running as process in Software Update, PC suite and Google Play app.
But i noticed something that might solve my problem but i don't know how to do it. After i flashed to v20a first couple days i had 1-2% drain per night, but after a played in hidden menu trying to change FOTA server to EU-server my phone starrted to drain 12-15% per night.
Can i disable DMClient or FOTA?

Go in to mobile data. And set a data limit. Then scroll down and select the app you want background data off for.

Does anybody as this problem: my lg 4x hd is with rooted with cm 10.1.2 rom.everything is fine except when i listen to music...when a song is playing i hear these pops and click and sometimes it freezes for a fraction of second..
Is there a fix for this?i didnt want to download another music app.
Ps:the music app is cm 10.1 stock-apollo
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Install a different music app and see if the problem goes away. That way you'll know if it is the ROM/your music or the app.
Troubleshoot it yourself by elimination.
Oh yes ... this has NOTHING to do with DEVELOPMENT - belongs on the Q&A forum so please report it to a moderator to be moved as I'm mobile and can't.

My phone has developed a similar problem over the last couple of days. Flashed Cm 10.1.2 on Friday (from stock) and everything worked great. Music played with no problem. Yesterday started to have a problem where music playback started to stutter and eventually stop, but only when the screen is off. Tried Poweramp and Google Music, same problem.
I think there is some issue with the system when the screen is off , as notification sounds are also disrupted, and the lock screen is very laggy when trying to wake the phone up. When the screen is on there is no problem with general operation, music playback is fine, as is video, streaming,etc. This problem has resulted in the phone freezing entirely a couple of times and I've had to remove the battery to reset.
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone found a solution?
I updated to 10.1.3 to see if this would make any difference, but no change. I am going to reflash to see if that cures it and will post back if it does.

I had the same issue, until i stumbled over this easy solution. If you are using poweramp or any other music player where you can change the audio buffer, just increase the buffer and the problem should be fixed....
Hello guys I have a problem wich drives me crazy.
Every time my phone goes into the lockscreen and I put it in my pocket, the podcast app stops playing. I tried many of them, because at first I thought it would just be the one app. But no, almost every podcast app I used had the same problem.
Music apps have no problem staying awake. I have tried everything in my mind to fix this (in battery options...) but it still is a big problem. The onloy thing I can do about this thing is to turn the screen on after it went black and the close the screen again. Now the app plays podcast without a problem. But the next time i write a message and forget to wake the phone again, the app closes.
Any thoughts?
