Spotify Problems on ATRIX HD

My Favorite app spotify apparently doesn't work properly on the ATRIX HD. After using it for a few days I noticed it is freezing and I have to re-select the track I want to play again. It locks up and when i go to the now playing section it shows the current song as only 1 second long. I have been experimenting with every setting I can think of but it still does this. Has any other ATRIX HD spotifly user ran into this problem or a possible fix??
PS I tried my buddys and same problem. :-(

I too have noticed a lot of market apps dont work right.
The phone came out on the 15th so give the market sometime to update some apps to work right.
I'm waiting on Zumocast to work right.

Help app developers fix the problem. When it crashes, send them an email with the details.
Crash reports help make things work.

All apps work for me fine. I have not had any problems so far. I just wish there was root

Have you used spotify extensively? If you switch tracks enough times it freezes up. Happens every time I use Spotify.

I tested it and it was working for me actually for your sake to see. But I personally like using Rdio so much more. UI is just awesome plus it works perfectly for me.

Hmm did you try switching tracks a bunch? Everytime I have tried it would freeze sooner or later.

It got a little jittery for me after skipping 2-3 times aggressively.
I guess it's trying to load the song information and it bogs up.
Iheart Radio has problems loading stations at times.
I also get a weird preference error that dose absolutely nothing. Just pops up a window saying it cant load my preference.
I noticed there are some apps not available for the phone yet. I really want my Zumocast working again.
I used to stream my movies and music from my PC to my car, now I gotta wait for them to make a Zumocast client for Atrix HD
Until then I'm using drop box to download & save stuff.. but no streaming

For me it completely stops. Ive tried using it on wifi at home and same thing within the course of one album if you press skip within about 10 tracks it always ends up freezing. Tried 2 other peoples phones so I'm pretty sure everyones is doing this. Dosen't make sense because it works fine on the GS3 and all other android phones I've tried?
Finally as much as I love my spotify(it's probably my favorite app) I resorted to using RDIO we'll see how it goes.

Although Zumocast isn't working, Motocast (the replacement) seems to work very well!
EDIT: nope. Still not working.

Chromecast youtube dropping out

While trying to watch YouTube it randomly stops dead. If I tap a spot on the time line the video quickly starts again. I've had this thing about 5 hours and it is seriously getting on my nerves. Add to the fact that the chrome browser isn't mirroring I'm about to smash this thing to bits. Any help!?
Netflix seems to work flawlessly.
I've tried improving network connection but that hasn't helped.
YouTube has this issue even when played from the browser on pc.

Exact same problem on my chromecast and is happening only since last evening. As you said, Netflix is flawless and its only With YouTube.
Thank god its not the device but seems like software or YouTube server support for chromecast. Hope it will get a fix pretty soon

This started happening to me last night. Youtube will freeze after about 2:20. It will start again if I skip forward or back, but only for another 2 mins. Have never had a problem before and Netflix works fine. I'm glad it's not just me.

Are either of you able to cast your tabs to your TV screen? Because I am also unable to get that to work from my pc to the Chromecast.

I had the same exact issue last night when watching YouTube. It would stop dead, and the only way it would start back, was when I tap the stopped point on the timeline as well.

Even casting the chrome browser tab had issues.... but after a while it worked... I am pretty sure even the chrome tab cast is lill messed up... Looks like the chromecast got a software upgrade which is causing these issues....
Does anyone know if there was a software upgrade yesterday?

Update:
I just exchanged the unit I had for another one but unfortunately I'm having the same issues. The unit itself force updates on startup which is a shame. It would be nice to do a revert and see if the old software functions correctly.

Youtube freezing
Same problem with me. I have two Chromecasts and Youtube stops on both of them roughly every 2.5 minutes, from both a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7. On 14th November around noon ET they were fine, but by the evening the problems had started. My Youtube app is showing as having updated on 14th Nov (although it's not showing up in the 'Recently updated' section in the Play app). Rebooting the Chromecasts, the android devices and the network all failed to eliminate the problem.

I have the same problem!!!

Mine seems to be fixed now.

Same here, YouTube was freezing yesterday at about 2 mins into any video. Tried it again tonight with zero issues. Happy, happy, happy...

I just watched a bunch of videos tonight without any issues. I'll try tab cast tomorrow and see if it works. I'd like to know exactly what was wrong. Did Google do an auto update.?

Its seems like Youtube works for non HD videos without problem. HD videos is not playing properly (shuttering, no voice, etc). Shutters more for music videos.

I'm still having problems too, no sound and stuttering video. I have two Chromecasts and they both do it. I'm in the UK though. I'm glad it snot just me, but slightly concerned yours all seem to be working now and mine doesn't
Everything else works fine.

This stuttering on hd videos really aggravating. My 3 year old is unable to watch lungi dance, so now I actually have to be a good parent early on a Saturday morning. Damn you Google!

I just tested a few HD vids and yes there was stuttering, almost If the Chromecast couldn't buffer properly.

same issue here in germany, tested with Nexus 4, 5, 7 and chrome on Pc

From today morning YouTube app is not loading from the chrome cast. From mobile app, I am getting no network try again message.
I have a feeling that Google is going kill the device silently.

Problem with Google Play Music lockscreen widget

Hey all,
Since I got the OTA for KK 4.4.2, my lockscreen music widget is acting a little bit weird. When I'm listening to music with google play music (and even from some other players like poweramp, rocket player, etc) and the screen goes off, if the track ends and another one begins, when I wake the phone, it shows the current's music art, but the title from the previous track.
With some players I get a bit of variation, some I get the previous album art, some I get both, name and art....
I can only get it working properly when I'm using NexMusic or Apollo, with those two, everything works like a charm, but I really wanted to use GPM.
I have recently factory reseted my phone, I didn't work. Tried to clear GPM's cache and data, nothing, tried to uninstall the update and stick to the original one that came with the phone and still nothing... So I was wondering if any of you can help me a little bit here.
I took a screenshot to try to explain it. It started playing Resistance by Muse, the screen went off and then Sunday Morning started playing, the album art is from sunday morning but the track name is still Resistance.

Yeah, same with me

I have noticed that also

well, I think I got it working right somehow now, after disabling it and trying almost all players on the market, I rebooted the phone a couple of times and now it seems to be doing everything right again
EDIT
well, nevermind, it started acting weird again

Same issue for me. Doesn't happen when I use Shuttle, just happens with Google Play Music. Rather annoying bug.

[q] gear manager update

So I got a gear manager update today and it seemed to be a substantial one. So I decided to wipe my dumb TW rom off and go back to an AOSP rom and maybe gear manager would work then. Well I got farther than I did before but it kept popping up hostmanager forced close error. Seems like that is the one thing now keeping me from going back to my beloved AOSP roms. Any help to figure this out would be amazing.

Yeah on my Hyperdriven 18.1 S4 I was running the new update for the gear manager and kept getting "SAprovider has stopped" over and over and I just went into the application manager on my phone and removed the application for it. Currently idk what the issues will be with me doing this but I'm currently about to reboot my gear 2 neo back into stock.

im looking for the APK to the previous version as when i try and open gear manager now on my Stock S5 it comes up Gear Plugin has stopped and i cant open the app.... any help please? thanks

I'm very hopeful that a resolution could be found, AOSP roms are my roms of choice for any device....but I do like using my Gear 2 Neo

Yeah I can't stand being on touchwhiz, I really hope someone can figure this out, but the support doesn't seem to be to good for this device.

so... the Gear Manager updated last night and now I'm NOT getting any notification... I've reset the watch, and still nothing... any advice? (I'm on Note 3)

OK so after all day of tinkering I finally got my g2n fully functioning on the new update with my note 2. So the only rom I could get it fully functional on is mean bean, which for a tw rom it isn't that bad. Did a full wipe, installed, set up and, then installed galaxy apps, then installed gear manager. It came up saprovider force close, so I uninstalled just that, then rebooted, then opened up gear manager and proceeded to set up my watch the way I like it. Think I had to do it twice, but I just kept uninstalling that saprovider and eventually it just worked. Svoice, weather, everything

Seems like a lot of people are having problems... The phone side gets FC's (mine is SAProviders) and messages aren't going to the watch. I found a way around it by using Hangouts. But also after the new update the watch battery is shocking. I used to get 6-7 days, but since the update I barely manage the day with minimal use.

OK guys, we have a guy who has helped me with the problems after the update... Shocking battery, FC's and no notifications.
Grab the last working version of GM you had before the update, uninstall all GM from your phone and install the last working version with NO internet connection.
Then use xprivacy (xposed module) and block all GM from using internet.
So far iI have got my gear 2 neo back to full working order and no constant update reminders on GM.
(Thanks to labellord for this from gear 2 forum)

So has anyone figured out a way to make it work with AOSP roms

Go to app manager and uninstall saproviders it will reinstall itself. Sometimes I have to do it twice maybe with a reboot here and there but it always comes out working.

too late!
I have reverted back to stock on my devices, all is working ok.
I probably will put a custom rom back on over the weekend as I cant stand the slow-bloaty rom!
Ill look back at it then, this is the 3rd time this week I have wiped/flashed and re-set-up my device because of this issue!!

I uninstalled all software about gear, then reinstalled gear manage, it became Ok.

I'm getting notifications. Some work and some don't. Gmail and hangouts work, but pushover for one does not notify me, however if I look in notifications on the watch, it is there.
Update: I followed the instructions above (installed xprivacy, installed the older host manager in airplane mode, then restricted it inxprivacy). Everything is back to working like before.
Thanks Samsung.

Anyone having an issue with not being able to install apps to your watch with this issue. My issue is the on going saprovider. The apps I'm having an issue with are Yotta watch, The Weather Channel, and Smart IR Remote. I have been able to install other watch faces and also multi watch to my gear 2 neo. I'm on the galaxy s4 with Hyper drive 18.1 and Gear 2 Neo stock.

[Q] YouTube Glitch Since Lollipop 5.1 Update

Hi so i asked over at the Motorola owners forums but nobody over there could resolve my issue. This is what's going on: So when I go to watch videos on the YouTube app on WiFi or Mobile data the video will start to play and then like 10 seconds in the video will stop and it will say "problem loading video tap to retry" so I tap to retry sometimes it works but most of the time it just keeps loading and never does anything. Once that happens all other streaming media apps don't work like Spotify won't play music as well as local mp3's that I have on my device. After a reboot then I'm able to play every thing again until it happens again. I've done a cache wipe and a factory reset without automatic backup/restore on as well as turning awesome player off in the developers options. And that has not changed anything. Any ideas on what to do? Also i'm not rooted i'm on stock firmware.

I get this as well. Are you using any xposed modules?

The truth is that la(te)st update for this phone is full of bugs. It ended up just like Razr. Good thing I installed 5.1 dump, just reverted back to stock 4.4.4.

yes its really bad. funny thing is i was one of the test drivers for the update for them, and they wouldn't listen to any of us when we told them not to mass release it but they didnt care and did it anyway. their feedback was horrible too they left us hanging for weeks with no updates. no communication at all.
