Im on Existenz 2.0.0 with root and unlocked BL
when i listen to music the walkman app automatically pauses every 4 mins and i make sure that i cleared all recent apps and that i dont use any force close ram mangers
i posted this in the thread of the rom but no one helped me so im hoping that anyone could help me here
Pauses or stops and needs to be reopend again?
Because I have'nt seen any reports about the walkman application pausing everytime but I do know about the RAM problems of the SP where the Walkman app gets closed.

i think it pauses because when i open the screenn i see the notification of the application being paused
also the ram problems occur when people browse and listen to music but i listen to music while my phone screen is off
Do you have to restart the song from the beginning or has it seleted another one? If so then it might me closed due to RAM problems.

acctually to be precise the song stops because when i start it again it starts from the beginning and how do i have ram problems when i close all the recent apps and i make sure that i have 160 mg free ram
Well sometimes you cant help it. It is a known issue with this device.
You can always wipe data of the walkman application and test again.

there must be something to fix it
You could try a factory reset of that ROM and test the walkman app without any other applications to see if it is app related or not.

tried and still the same
Reflash the ROM is the only thing I can suggest at the moment.

I also experienced such glitches with music interruptions, i'm using walkman and V4A when using my phone as mp3 player. I found SOME SORT of solution and that its -- UNINSTALL ANY SD CARD TWEAKS such as SD read ahead speed or set it to device default. I suspect that maybe the tweak isn't needed coz i'm using Class-10 SDcard and applying such tweaks might be "SUPERFLOUS" and thus causing issues with music playback.
But then if still you get no better results...last option would be to USE ANOTHER ROM and uninstall the later. Just my opinion:fingers-crossed:

I understand your sentiments buddy
Yes, always if I launch Movies (SemcVideo.apk) I get a force close. I'm on an AOSP-based ROM and Movies is installed as user app. The thing is, WALKMAN and Album work just fine and they are installed as user app too. The version of Movies I have is 5.1.A.2.12. It worked for me until I installed the new version from Z2, this one gave me fc's so I installed the old version again but the fc's persisted. I already tried billion times clearing data and cache, install it new, install another version, deactivate SemcDLNA, activate it again and so many reboots.
In attachment there is a logcat. If someone could tell me why I get this force closings and how to repair that, this would be great, cause I LOVE the Sony Media Apps!

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?
While playing video in defeault player or in MX Player or Youtube Player, every few minutes the picture is freezing for few seconds but audio is playing normally. I tried different custom roms like TGP v.20, Amcha v. 1.3 and rXtreme v.2.0 but everywhere is this issue. I have old bootloader and I'm using mostly AGNI kernel and some mods like: wanam xposed, greenify, amplify. I tried wipe cache but I'm still having issuses.
The second problem is NFC bug. When I'm using bluetooth connections NFC turns on itself, always.
Does anyone have that?
Are there any solutions for these issue?

No problem at all here... Even with latest you tube app... Weird... Maybe you have problem with your mods.

Yes same problem here, NFC auto-enables when I disconnect bluetooth, i've posted a report HERE.
I didn't find a solution yet.
EDIT : it's a sammy issue ! People with stock ROM (and also me after some tests) have this issue as well. I guess we have to wait for an official fix from Samsung.
I'm back on 4.3 . No problem with video, nfc etc. Battery is the same and I have Boeffla kernel
I have a stock rooted Xperia z3 compact, and on the Sony media apps (album, music) every time I open the app, a message saying device or download music info is not responding. What's annoying is that it happens every time I open the app, and pops up 3 or 4 times in a row. I don't know how to fix it and I don't know what's causing the issue. Any help would be appreciated, thanks
