SiriusXM App + 2.2 Question...

Hey does anyone who has the SiriusXM radio app and Froyo experience problems when using the application? Such as it only plays for about 2 minutes then gets stuck in the same loop over and over? If you DONT which Froyo ROM are you using?

I have the exact same problem using CM6. It was also happening with NexFro but not as often. Pissed me off today. Its what I use at work to make the day go by, and after 15 minutes, I couldn't stand it anymore. Kind of glad to see that it isnt just me.

It's a bug in the app on ALL froyo roms. Sirius XM needs to update the app for it to work on froyo. If you NEED Sirius, your only option right now is to go back to a 2.1 rom.

Ya I couldn't stand it at work, I love listening to XM but it sucks when it skips. FYI I used BuglessBeast V0.3 and it works great. No skipping etc, so if you want froyo and the XM app I suggest BuglessBeast V0.3.
After-all who knows when Sirius will update the Android app.

Upgraded to the official 2.2 upgrade on my evo last night- looping on all XM stations on the app started this morning- Jeez is that annoying- particularly since I was riding my motorcycle at the time and couldn't stop it until I pulled over....
Hope they fix it fast- love the official Sirius/XM app and Opie & Anthony....

tried this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737111, but didn't work.
It says "Data Connection Lost" and won't connect. The only hope is for SiriusXM to come out a compatible app for Froyo.

goto your build.prop file in the system folder and change stagefright player from "=true" to "=false" then save and reboot.

this does not work on my htc evo... has anyone found a good combination with their build.prop that works with stock rooted froyo 2.2 and does not have the Data Connection Lost error

Same problem, different phone
I'm running 2.2 on my rooted Cell South HTC Hero. I've run into the same problem, it drives me nuts trying to listen to The Foxxhole and it keeps looping. Any suggestions on how to fix it on my Hero?

Pandora killed by google nav audio?

I've recently noticed a problem with my 2.2 evo. Back when I had 2.1, I would stream pandora while Google Nav was running in the background. Whenever Google Nav had to issue an instruction, it would pause pandora's playback and then resume it after the instruction is given.
Now that I have 2.2, I've noticed that when google nav gives an instruction, pandora is killed. Or at least suspended in a way that I have to manually restart playback.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? its kind of annoying to have to tap the play button to get pandora started up again...

This a known issue and was told it was on pandoras end.

Told by whom?
Is there a fix in the works?
the reason i ask is that there is no mention of this issue on pandora's website =/

There are a bunch of threads on this already, and they all look the same - OP states the issue, someone mentiones that its a known issue, there's no known fix, and that it's being worked on (although it's actually not specific to pandora, apparently it happens with a few other streaming music apps), a few "me too's", and then someone like me comes in and tells the op that he should have searched first. then the thread slowly moves off the main page, and we wait for the next one.
edit - a dissenter, that's new! lol - it's listed on the google code bug list here;

XM Radio Froyo 2.2 Update is out XM 1.1

Awesome, love my XM.

Just tried it a bit. I'm on Fresh 3.2. It used to not even connect, just say "Aquiring Data Connection"
With this update it plays and doesn't loop, but it sure does jump and skip quite a bit. Guess it's a start....
Only Froyo ROM I've ever gotten SXM to work right on is CM6 - which I don't wanna go back to.

Nice thanks for the update. I guess signing up on their webpage for an update email was pointless.

Well thats how I found out they emailed me. Also make sure you dont have the stagefright fix since I am also running Fresh 3.2 and had to switch back to stock stagefright files in order for it to play properly.
1 hr running and no problems so far... Thanks XM

Please tell me what you did to stagefright. I know Flipz made some changes to it but I don't know how to undo them. In my build.prop the player is enabled and it still skips a lot.
Thanks!!

I am using Fresh 3.2 and the new SiriusXM app is working fine for me. I'd say about 3 skips every hour or so. I actually only use this for Bloomberg and CNBC - I much prefer slacker and pandora for music, so a couple of skips is no big deal for me.
What I desperately can't figure out is how to record a live stream off the sound card (for lack of a better term). All recording apps seem to use the microphone only. Any ideas so that I can listen to specific CNBC shows like Kudlow on my ride home?

Just extract the stagefright files from your original rar file and then ad push or copy and paste with Root explorer into the system/lib folder overwriting the files that are there now
Then replace the build.prop with the one from your original rom rar file as well.
I WIll try and attached them here for you.... what rom are you running

Actually, after a reboot, I'm finding no skips at all as well.

Hate to bump this thread up again, but seemed like the best place to post rather than making a new thread.
Is anybody having issues with SXM 1.1 and connecting in the past couple of days? Its worked flawlessly for me since the update, and I've been happy with it again. However, now, on startup, the application hangs on "Checking for Updates".
Tried clearing data, uninstall/reinstall, and hard reset fresh install. All no dice.
Anybody else having issues?

[INFO] Music beta had updated

Hey all,
I am in Taiwan, and I got an update about Google Music beta last night.
Cause I had slept, so I did not test it yet.
I will report the states after trying it.
Hope this update can solve some issues in 3.1.

Sigh ... still hold the same issues ...
Wait for next update

It won't install for me. I can see the update but when I click to update it doesn't do anything.
I guessed it was because I'm not in the US and the Music Beta is for US only, but now I see you're in Taiwan and installed it fine.
So did you do anything special to get it to work?

I was having the same issue - could see the update but it just flashed "allowing access" then did nothing. But suddenly today it updated - I'm in UK

Anything new or interesting other than the cloud service stuff?

I'm in the UK, received a Music Beta invite on Monday, currently uploading music to Google. Working fine. Sideloaded Music which says its version 3.0 to my DHD as the TF was sent back and awaiting a new one.

Yeah, I just managed to run the update and nothing seems changed.
I was mistaken and the update has nothing to do with the Music Beta, I guess the big banner up top in the Market threw me off.

IM HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH MUSIC BETA AND MUSIC APP 3.01!! Is anyone else seeing the following?
I have the most updated music app on both my TF and Nexus S 4g and they both experience the same problem. When I am playing music from both online and offline music (shuffling all lets say) it will play a few songs fine and then it gets completely hung up and wont respond to any input. The app will not reset even if i kill the music app, when i go to reopen music it takes to a black screen with nothing on it. Its very weird and very annoying when a tab and phone cant do something as simple as playing a song. In order to fix it I have to turn the phone or tab off completely and then turn it on and it plays some songs then eventually gets hung up. Again, this is happening on my gingerbread 2.3.4 device and my honeycomb 3.1 device.

I can also see the update Music by Google Inc, but it does not install. It says V3.0.1 from 26th May 2011!
Any suggestions how to I get it updated?

PS: I'm in UK

At first, I had same problem as yours.
But after 3 hrs later, the Update is working for me.
I didn't know what happened but mostly is the market's issue ( I guess).
Any way, this update changed not thing.
And I still use PowerAMP to play music. But the UI is designed for 800x480.
So I wish the Music Beta can fix those issues quickly ...

Is there any relationship between the Music Beta updates from Marketplace, and the status of the Invite? I recieved the update yesterday, but my Invite is still being processed. Wondering if my TF is being preped for the activation....

[Q] Nexus Q stops playing music after 20 min

I have a Q that stops playing music after 20 min and displays "music player has stopped". When I restart it, it displays "cannot play the stream you requested". It still shows I'm connected to the Q and allows me to add music to it but will not allow me to play music until I reset it by unplugging it and plugging it back in. It then will play for another 20 to 30 minutes before it displays the same message again. I've tried using the Ethernet connection as well instead of WiFi...still has the same issue.
Any ideas? I'm getting frustrated...so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ditto - it was acting this way a while ago, but only over the last few days has it gotten like this. I've got 10k+ songs up on Play (and yeah, I use the service to buy music when possible) - so this ranks as extremely annoying...
Cheers!

The interesting thing is that in my Google Music account it shows what devices I have that are authorized to access Google Music, however the Nexus Q does not show up on that list. This is concerning to me, I wonder if it has something to do with why the Q is shutting music down intermittently like that.

I don't think the Q has ever shown up in the authorized device list (and don't think it should since anyone should be able to play music through it).
As for the issue playing music - I see this as well on all of my Qs (3) and it sucks.

I know this is unsupported hardware - but at least for me, this device sort of fulfills the promise of what makes Play Music 'tick' - and I use it as intended daily. So this thing just blowing up and not working (and I was just about to grab another from eBay) - blows, hard. Since there's nothing to replace it at the moment aside from moving to another 'ecology'.... (Sonos, etc)...

It seems that it stopped working correctly for me somewhere around the last update of the Play Music app (no hard data on this, just seems about the right timeframe to me). So I'm hoping another update fixes it. As I said, I have 3 Qs and all of them have this problem so getting another from ebay won't fix your issue (EDIT: misread your post on reasons for getting another...I'm holding out hope that i/o this year will shed some light on future support of these devices - if not, as long as they keep them working as they were i'll be happy enough).

I am also having a lot of connectivity issues with my Q lately. I was starting to think it was my rom on my phone causing it but am now starting to wonder if this is a server side issue with google play.
I am running AOKP PUB, Franco r102 and the volume boost mod on my nexus 4. I previously was running stock and feel like these issues were not happening until flashing these roms / mods.
Edit : good theory about the google play / services update.

I would think that considering you need a Android device to initially sync it with your Google Music account, you're accessing your music account as one of your devices and therefore should show up on your device list...but I could be wrong.

I don't think that was ever right - remember, a Nexus Q can play content from _any_ compatible device's content stream - it piggyback's that device's authorization for a specific track or video - that's why it works well for groups... anyone can add any of _their_ content to it's playlist.
So I don't think device or account specific auth is the core issue. I think it's related to lack of updates as the play service backend changes, certainly - but little else...
I sort of think that Googlers themselves with Nexus Qs that see these issues will ultimately come to our rescue - but it will be slow to happen...

Same problem with my nexus q and the latest Google music update.

Done!

My response keeps getting deleted ?

After seeing this thread I've been playing music for over an hour with no issues. Maybe its fixed? Maybe it only effects some users?
I should add that I'm using both a stock Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7 to control the Q.

Are you dropping one song at a time on the Q or are you sending a whole play list and letting it run?

First, I played a short 28 min album from my Nexus 7. Then, queue'd up a few songs from my N4 to play after the album was over. Played without an issue.
I've scrolled through tracks just to test that out as well.

Looks like I've spoken too soon. Just ran into the "couldn't play the stream you requested" problem. The blue ring is on my tv with the track info floating over it. Nothing is playing.

Yes, sounds like you are sharing the same issue we are. There's an old saying "Misery loves company"...I just hope Google gets off their rear end and fixes this. I built a whole kiosk at my business dedicated to the Nexus Q and the ability to allow my members with Android devices to stream music to it. Now I kind of feel like an arse.

I wonder who we can get a hold of to let Google know about the issue. I have a feeling contacting support would be useless. Anyone know who the engineers were that worked on the Q? I wonder if we could ping them on G+ or something. I'm sure there isn't a big enough user base for the tech sites to cover it, so going that route wouldn't work either.
I mean I love the Q but it does 2 things and 1 of them doesn't work. That should be a big enough issue for Google to fix.

I did contact Google tech support in the beginning when it first started happening, and have been in contact with them via email ever since. Because of the limited quantity of units out there, the tech support has very little data, nor much ability to help. I have also emailed them a link to this thread in hopes that it would spark some deeper tech support. It may help if we all follow that route, Maybe the squeaky wheel gets the grease? LOL
