Hi guys, I have a problem with my mediascape, when I play any music and the phone goes to sleep mode automatically or by me manually pressing the power button the music cuts off for a few seconds and then restarts from the beginning. If I play from a playlist and I'm using the phone then decide to put it to on sleep mode, it restarts from the beginning of the playlist, or if I'm going through the playlist and decide I want to hear a song and I select to go to next song, as soon as the screen turns off its back to the start again. This means I have to listen to a playlist from start and wait until a certain song comes up rather than being able to select a song.
I have tried the following already to see if I can solve the problem, I've gone to application settings and for mediascape clear data, clear cache, force stop and also the same for mediscape plugin manager settings. Ive checked my settings in task panel and set both mediascape/plugin manager to ignore, so therefore the task is not automatically killed.
Hope someone may be able to help me out or maybe there's someone else with the same problem. It's an incredibly annoying problem. I do not really want to reinstall the firmware again, as that is what I had to resort last time I had problems with my phone. Resetting to factory settings does not work correctly either it has to be reinstalled.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Just use Mort Player, it is the best free player out there and put all the rest to shame.
Stick with meridian music player.. Drains battery less than mediascape, allows you to add playlists, looks ok and also has a nice music control widget. Prefer it more than mediascape.. hope it solves your issues an all

Trust me...go to the Market and get Mort Player...it does it all, looks great, custom skins etc, used squat for the battery and works so well.
I do use Mortplayer too, and works fine. You can start it just by touching play button on your MW600 headphones with no need to start it from the phone. And it can read music from specific folders. For me the best too.
question?

This seems like the most pertinent question.
Any kind of task killer, battery saving app or similar would be good to list here so we can test for ourselves and see what's up.
My advice would be to uninstall any task management, power saving apps, restarting your phone and see if you still have the same issue.
I've debranded my phone and mediascape works fine!

bTunes is better than any other music media application
Hi, my phone is factory unlocked sim-only.
I've tried the other music player but that did not work, I believe it is a bug in the operating system which has caused this and will now reinstall firmware via SE update service.
Yes I use task panel to auto kill apps on sleep but mediascape is on the ignore list, so is not killed. Also this is a recent problem I've had and that is why I cannot blame the task killer. But rather on Sony Ericssons severely delayed and heavily flawed operating system. Let's hope the supposed "update" which is also delayed might be a bit better.
Thanks for trying guys

Hey I have a question which I can't find anywhere on this or any other forum. I purchased an AT&T branded X10 about 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it (can't wait for 2.1). Anyhow I have downloaded tons of stuff and changed all kinds of things on the phone but am still running stock ROM, nonrooted. What I did notice is that I kinda like the click sound when I tap an icon or setting button, but I hate the keyboard type sound, so I turned off the keyboard sound but the icon click sound is still on. I have also noticed that after a little while of using the phone, calls, games, internet and whatnot the clicking sound for icons stops working, it just doesn't make the sound anymore and setting hasn't changed. It will reset to making the sound when I soft reset the phone. The only thing I can think of is that my task killer is killing a service that needs to run, but I'm not sure which one to tell it to ignore. I am currently using Task Manager v1.7 which has a widget to click and kill running tasks.
Any help here would be appreciated, Thanks
My phone has done this from day one and on different roms. I'm hoping it will be fixed I the 2.1 update.

I just updated my phone to DK28 using VIPERrom's DK28 version. While testing out VIPERrom I noticed that with some applications after shutting down that their icon in the taskbar would still be. I thought maybe they just didn't shut down, but when I would re open the app via the taskbar the apps would open from the beginning, not like they have been running in the background. I've downloaded 3 different task killers, all of which can see background running processes. None of them show the applications open.
Another example, I was working out and using my music player. After working out, I killed my music player via a task killer. The music stopped playing, but the icon was still in the task bar. A couple minutes later, it starts playing again and I can't shut it down because none of the task killers show it running? Ideas?

I've had a somewhat similar problem using the Nebula Rom. What I've learned, in my case, is that even though the icon is still there, it doesn't mean they aren't shut down. But, if you want to make sure the app is closed, simply go into the App Manager, click on the app that's bugging you, and press "Force Stop". It's always worked for me.
Hope this helps!
I'll have to try that. Just kinda sucks I have to spend an extra 5 seconds to shut it done vs using task manager
Also, I reinstalled DK28 using the official thread, instead of VIPER's, and after 10 minutes of testing, that seemed to fix the problem.

Seriously? Did you try my method?
If my method didn't work, then I'm not quite sure what's causing it.
No, your method did work, its just a hassle. Maybe I'll just go back to a stock phone and wait until the OTA update arrives with Dk11 in a couple days. This issue really annoys me. Is nobody else having his issue?
Hey all,
So I'm now the proud owner of a brand new Xperia Play, but one thing I'm trying to figure out is why the phone seems to effectively go into sleep mode when you lock the screen.
What I mean is - on my old phone, I could be listening to music, lock/turn off the screen, and the music keeps playing. It continued running in the background when the screen was turned off. On the Xplay however, if I lock/turn off the screen, the music stops. In other words, I can't actually do anything like listen to music or stream radio or anything like that when the screen is locked/turned off. As soon as I turn the screen back on (I don't even need to unlock it, just switch it back on), the functionality resumes. But I don't want the screen on when the phone is in my pocket, because sometimes it still manages to try to dial emergency numbers, not to mention it needlessly runs down the battery.
I've searched through all of the phone settings, and I've tried Googling answers, but I can't find a solution to this anywhere. I want to be able to lock/turn off the screen and continue listening to my music or streamed radio - can this even be done on the XPlay?
Thats strange, I dont have this problem, i often play my music when the screen is off. Are you using and ram or cpu optimisation apps? That may be killing apps when phone is idle?

No...in fact I've installed nothing on the phone yet (waiting for a bigger SD card to arrive), and it's not rooted, so everything is stock standard.
Have you tried listening to streaming radio with the screen turned off?

Okay I've figured out what the problem is. It's not the screen lock, it's the browser. I'm using the standard browser that came with the phone, but streaming radio stops whenever the browser window is not in focus.
For example, I had the streaming radio going, and pressed the home button, and the same thing happened - streaming radio stopped. The browser should be still running in the background, but for some reason it seems to "pause" any streaming it's doing, until that specific window comes back into focus.
Wow...that's lame.
Any way around this? Unless Android doesn't really have true multitasking and apps in the background are only in a suspended state.

I suggest using an actual radio app. Are you trying to listen to a local station or something?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Yes I'm listening to a local station, but the Xplay doesn't have an FM Radio. A radio app won't help me. Hence why I'm streaming it.
Doesn't change the fact that Android is just doing a pretend "suspend apps in the background until you return to them" multitask, not actual real multitasking. From what I'm reading, this seems to be what the default browser does, and if I download another browser, like dolphin, firefox or opera, I should be able to get around it...can anyone confirm this?

Try Opera mobile. (not mini). If the site your streaming from uses flash, its super resource heavy in the stock browser. Thats why its getting shut down.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
There are many apps in the market that allow you to stream Internet sources. A prior poster mentioned the same, they were not referring to FM radio.
I have almost the same but not exactly as that.. When I play music using headphone, then turn off my screen, the effects that I made in equalizer(unlock) app also stops. I tried different players but having the same result.. I'm still figuring out what seems to be the problem..

It does that when theres not enough memory to multitask all the apps you want, however If you were say running pandora, and your browser and something else youd be fine. The site you're using likely uses flash or something else that is resource heavy to play the music. The system doesn't know exactly what the flash program is doing (as it just runs the flash app and then the app runs in the flash sandbox) so if you let the screen shut off or you shut it yourself the system suspends it to free up memory for stuff like text messaging and email to work.
Maybe one of the other browsers has a work around for this but I doubt it. However there may be an app out there that plays internet streams and stays active, I would look for that.
Hey all!
I just got my new piece of art. I found this issue few minutes after I started playing with the device.
Let me post it in points to prevent useless spam:
1- (Updated) I change the "Clarity" setting in the custom equalizer, and press OK to keep it as my setting.
2- After it's selected, I pause the music (either through the music widget or the music app itself).
3- I continue playing music.
Result:
The equalizer is reset to default. I have to select any other setting then return back to custom again to fix this problem till next pause.
I sent Samsung an e-mail and I hope they'll respond asap (will post here when/if they do). I thought I should post this here since manufacturers (especially Samsung) seem to be following what's happening here. I usually don't participate in the "environment" of reporting errors, but I thought it'd be worth it this time. ;P
Anyone here experiencing the same problem?

This makes me a bit worried.
I bet some of those who're checking this thread can tell me whether it's a software or a hardware issue. keeping in mind that this bug doesn't occur on other music players (e.g.: Poweramp).
Any information about this bug would be appreciated!
so after spending sometime trying to figure out what's causing this bug. I found that it occurs only when I change the setting of the "Clarity" bar under "Extended" settings.
The clarity bar is set to 0 by default. Whenever it's changed to any other value then music is paused and continued again, the custom equalizer gets reset.
now what should we do to let Samsung know about it? anyone here experiencing the same problem?
Hello guys, 2 days ago i finally got the android 7.0 update (three uk) and since then I've spotted some problems with the phone. I have this music player installed its called Musixmatch and one of the features is when your phone start playing music the music player identifies it and puts the lyrics on the screen. So since the update sometimes (mostly when I'm playing videos online or just doing random stuff) lyrics to song "Over The Horizon" by Samsung are popping on my screen ( the song is not actually playing, i can't hear it but the lyrics pops up on the screen which means it was played maybe?) I've attached two screenshoots of this situation.
The other problem is since the update sometimes when i want to watch some videos on youtube after few videos I'm getting this problem saying "there was a problem while playing playback id: (various numbers)" and then i can't play any video online (i haven't tried playing videos from my video library yet) but for example on Facebook when I click on the video it acts like a photo just the thumbnail opens and that's it, can't play it. can't play any video untill i restart the phone then its alright but again after few videos im starting to get this error.
My phone is not rooted and I've never rooted it. Its running on stock rom.
Thanks in advance
Just sounds like MusixMatch needs an update. Not exactly a problem with the phone, but the app.

I agree.
It can take a short while for the developer of an app to push out an update so that it does not clash with the updated firmware. I'd check in the PlsyStore under your Apps.
You may also be able to let the Developer know of the bugs your encountering after the firmware update.
That and I'd try clearing the Apps Cache , System Cache and as a last resort create a fresh backup and Factory Reset.
So today i noticed that its not only Facebook videos nor youtube videos. When its happening i can't even call anyone on Skype or Facebook it just won't let me do it.

Had the same problem when I was on LineageOS, didn't found a solution. It was really annoying so I went back to Touchwiz (superman ROM), and haven't had any problems since then.
I dont know what causes the problem, but perhaps a factory reset will solve it for you. :fingers-crossed:
Okay so I decided to go for the factory reset and it worked for a day or two but today the problem is back. Also I would like to mention that I think today was the first time I've used device maintenance to clean ram and Clean master to turn off apps that eat battery after that the problem came back.

You shouldn't even be using Clean Master at all.

Why not
Some people's opinions that such software can cause more harm than good.
Personally I prefer not to use cleaning programmes or battery software either.
The inbuilt options do what I need.

One is it steals your infor and sells it in China.
Second, using it to force stop apps in background causes the phone to active loop and basically use up more battery.
The very presence of Clean Master in the phone is all harm and no good.

Don't use clean master, it's bloat garbage. plus you have that built right into the os. If you MUST use 3rd party once of those, use one that's lighter and less spammy and bloatwarish

I quick looked cm is 16mb, with a whole bunch of bloat and ads and useless features, ahh it's such an awful app. It was bad enough, but then cheetah bought it and it really got bad, same thing happened with the gallery app Quickpic.
Anyway, if it was me, I would absolutely not dl a third party app. The built in stuff does more than a good enough job. But if you must have one, CCleaner 4mb, simple, works, it's light, if there are ads, don't think they are overly intrusive, if there even are any ads. There's a few others that might be OK that are 4mb or under. Look thru the list. But dude, just use the built in option, it does a surprisingly good job.
