sony music unlimited is awful - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It offers a wide range of options but the application takes a good 10 seconds to start and crashes alot.
Anyone else having problems with it?
Also any good alternatives?

Currently Spotify is your best bet. There is an update for Music Unlimited on the way that integrates it completely in the Walkman app, so just a little bit more patience

Spotify unfortunalty wont download from the market as i cant find it
Also good to know about the walkman, any idea when?

Most likely with the 4.2 update, no real changes expected on 4.1. Should be somewhere before the summer.

[Q] Sky Go on ICS?

Basically,
Sky Go came out today and it says that the Galaxy is is supported. But, when I try to load it up, it says your device is not supported and I take it that it's saying that because I've got AOKP ICS on there.
Would anyone know a way of fixing this?
Thankssss
Send them an email mentioning this

Where is it? I think it's only supported on gingerbread

Search the app on the web android market
Not from your market app
And search there their email

The resolution is fine after a minute or so.
Current problem appears to be that no other channel other than Sky news works, possibly because it is non encrypted.
Possible issue caused by rooted phones not being supported but that is a little unclear as people with unrooted phones are also experiencing the same issues, ie, the app is sticking at the buffering screen and shows no pictures.
Apart from that, its fantastic
I see there is a discussion going on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22781731
They talk about apps that temporarily revoke root access to the phone to trick the Sky Go app into thinking you have a stock ROM. Sounds like too much effort for one app tbh, but I thought I'd share in case you hadn't seen it!

Spotify question

I got my AHD yesterday. Had wifi problems at first but I seem to have figured that out. Now I'm having problems with spotify. It fc's like crazy, will freeze up and stop playing. And especially if I use the lock screen controls. Can anyone else test and see how it acts on your phone? I'm wondering if it's my phone or the AHD in general.

I have the exact same problem :/
Except it's on my phone.
It started after the new radio spotify update.
Just because I wrote this and I rebooted my phone it seems like it works again ^^

There are a few apps that probably haven't been tested on the AHD yet. Spotify and Hulu for example.
Until the company tests them, there will probably be issues.
My Spotify basically doesn't work on my AHD.

Yea its pretty tricky. I found that if I get it to play and immediately leave the app it'll usually continue to play through my list. As soon as I try to select songs or do any basic action in the app it just freezes up and fc's.

I have the same problem. Haven't noticed it with facebook but with chrome it looks like my music widget in the notification bar just stops working (the widget will stay visible), also no sound. I can open the walkman app and start a new song but when I start using Chrome again the problem will occur again. :crying:
My phone is pretty stock, it is rooted, bootloader still locked and I use Apex launcher.

Strange when I had the problem I also looked at my ram usage and still had 250 mb of ram free. Also it looked if the the widget in the notification bar just stalls, it wont react to any buttons. If android stops the task of the walkman app the widget would just dissapear. I think

One point does Xperia SP not actually good is RAM is only 1GB, and since GPU reserve 2XX MB RAM so the usable RAM only 768MB...

Poor kid is mad. Sorry bro, you are the one with problems. I modded my phone, ran chrome and Walkman together and can't replicate your problem. Just go get a replacement from the service center or sell it.
PS It is spelled sh*t.

Android "Siri" version?

Hi there. I am throughougly enjoying my Xperia Z (an upgrade from iPhone 5). The only thing I miss from iPhone was that while I was riding my bike, I would be able to speak to Siri and request her to play specific songs or artists for me on the go. I can't seem to get this feature to work on Android.
What I'm looking for: A feature that with the press of a button on a handset/headset enables you to talk to your phone and request it to play a song.
Can this be done?
Thanks.
Does Voice Search do it?

Yea, android version of Siri is Google now, you can easily access it sliding with your finger from home button down your screen to the any place on top.

Plus one for Google now Def plays songs, videos,answers questions,checks calender,sets reminders,makes calls,emails,texts,really everything siri does but not as much personality plus the cards are useful and it seams as each update improves it

I use Robin - the Siri Challenger. Check the play store for it.
Thanks so much for your feedback, everyone. I recall having issues getting the android default voice assistant to play me music on the go. Can anyone 100 % confirm any voice assistant (default or otherwise) being able to playback music by vocal command?

Z1s YouTube issues, anyone?

I just recently got my xperia Z1s and it's also my first Sony phone period. I'm really enjoying it but all of a sudden my YouTube videos play about half way through then stop and go back to the beginning again? It never makes it past that half point. I've only noticed this with YouTube so it could be an app issue, vevo plays fine, but idk cause YouTube was working fine until yesterday and today as well. My other devices are playing videos from YouTube fine so I'm puzzled as to wether this is an app problem specific to the Z1s or if it's my phone itself maybe?? I don't have too much longer to make a return. If anyone has this issue as well please let me know, or any suggestions? I already tried clearing cache and data as well. That's about all I can do since I'm not rooted of course.

I open a thread about this since 4.3 rollout but no one cared/had this issue..I cant skip to an unloaded part of the video, only way to do this is restoring to factory version on YouTube

So you wouldn't say it's a problem with the phone itself then Right? Most likely just YouTube or some weird YouTube bug?

I hope its the youtube app, since I noticed the issue there's been like 4 updates but bug still there, my other devices have no problems. Also worth noting that in-app players (for example when I open a vid in flipboard or pocket) don't suffer from this

Its the youtube app.
Read the comments about the app...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube&hl=nl
I reverted back to the old ap by removing the updates in "apps" and the problem is gone.
I have the same issue. I try to reverted back to the old one
Gesendet von meinem C6903 mit Tapatalk
Reverting back to the old one does work, but still it kind of grinds my gears America! Lol. We should be able to use the latest version of YouTube on a high end phone like this. YouTube needs to fix this ASAP.
