SiriusXM App + 2.2 Question... - Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps

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?

My Nexus does that a lot on the modaco r13 rom but much less so on cyanogen. You might want to give the modaco one a run and see if your problems persist. Did you apply the 5.0.6 version on top of another rom? A factory wipe and reinstall of CM might fix your problems. I'm no authority on the matter though.
yes went from factory wipe to cm but its not as bad today. maybe some apps just are not compatible. although dont see why the bluetooth pairing failed and was force to close.

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?

DK28 Regressions

I figure it be a good place to try and list all the regressions in behavior we see in DK28.
can be used to list them / point out what changed and why its not really a regression, just have to change what we do.
I've noticed two things so far
1) Can't dial by last name in on screen keypad dialer, just first name. This is somewhat annoying (especially as my friends last names are more distinct than first names)
2) missing all my "other" calendars in calendar app. (i.e. I have facebook exported that way, along with holidays and some other stuff). Also doesn't let me select individual calendars that I want to list. I believe this might have a backup/restore issue. Just reset my phone and haven't restored anything from backup and have all my calendars.
This also seems to impact agenda widget. For some reason calltrack does work Part of me assumes I'm doing something wrong here.
Update:
Other regressions: (reported and verified by independent source)
3) Mediahub no longer works (requires you to update it from Market, but can't be found): noted: 12/5/2010 by jwhisl (Orbiting234: probably related to Market not recognizing DK28)
4) No way to prevent GPS data from being included in EXIF of Pictures if GPS is on: noted 12/5/2010 by styckx
One odd thing I noticed was with Dolphin browser. When holding the back button to bring up the exit menu it used to vibrate when it popped up. Now it does not. It still vibrated before I upgraded to froyo.
I know it is a little thing any meaningles but it threw my whole operating habits out of wack.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I've noticed that the Mediahub application no longer works. When I launch the app it tells me to install an update then sends me to the market. Unfortunately the market cant find the download I need so I cant watch any of my purchased media. The phone is also telling me that the media type is not supported.
Installed dk28 via zip and hard reset device to fix audio, camera, and memory card issues
might anybody have the update in apk or zip format?
Ok, this one is pissing me off. It seems you can no longer disable gps data getting lumped into you camera pictures.
Becareful! Turn off gps entirely unless you want you photos exif data containing your location.

I can use 4G in NYC, though I do notice when I reboot the phone that a similar thing happens, I just attribute it to be doing to omuch processing.
Besides Media Hub update not being found in marketplace, Car Home and Desk Home apps are unable to be found in the market either. Will probably all be worked out once DK28 is properly recognized by the market for these particular apps.
anyone notice the auto complete isn't working and only recognizes names in the contact list?
It failed my test. Just like the previous leaks, last.fm skips and jitters when browsing the web and playing music at the same time. As a matter of fact, music skips any time I do anything thqat even moderately taxes the cpu. My Evo does fine under the same conitions. Why, Samsung, why?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'm kind of hoping that this is still a beta version and not final cause it still has some flaws compared to ecclair. I made a thread in the Developement forum about the problems I am having with dk28.
Slow rotation
Slower frame rate on notification drop down
Browser choppiness and checker boarding
etc.
media hub is an exclusive samsung galaxy app
some of the dk25 roms have nexus one signatures in the build.prop that is why is doesn't show it

Just tested this out and can confirm it. Last.fm skipping like a stone with web browsing. WTF. This never happened on 2.1

It seems to be putting my location in there even with gps off. I had to turn off the wifi location also just to get it to stop.
I downloaded the zip file last night when it was first posted on here. I had stock rom, changed the file name on my phone to update.zip, moved it to root folder, did the recovery and update. Everything is fine and I'm on froyo 2.2.1 now. I'm try to replicate the problems you guys are having, but I can't. The only problem I can replicate is the checkered box when zooming in and out. My hardware is .5 and I just bought the phone last month. I got my wifes at the same time and hers is doing just fine as well. Do you guys think that even though my hardware is .5 that there could be some differences in the phone since everything is still working better then 2.1 for me and my wife?

other issues i've noticed:
-new text message alert does not disappear when the text is viewed, only when text is entered as response.
-browser gradient at top (right below notification/status bar) disappears when scrolling and pops back on once done scrolling
-swype sucks after update
-browser does not auto hide keyboard once completed text imput and window refreshes
-as noted, the geotagging data on the pictures cannot be prevented even with gps off
all of these, on top of an ugly messaging app have caused me to do a complete factory reset just to get rid of the issues. i never had problems with 2.1 so i guess i'll stick with it until the final release.

you're able to dial from the dialer with someone's last name?
i.e. You have a Friend Joe Smith, you press
7 (for s)
6 (for m)
4 (for i)
...
and you get your friend joe smith? I just have it matching first name.

Last name doesn't work. I have to do it by first as well. Very annoying if you have more than two friends with the same fist name. That's the only one I can replicate.

Check your Swype Settings. [Speed vs. Accuracy] may be tuned for speed. Slide it over to the right and it should work better.
After using this for 8hrs now. I've come to the conclusion this release sucks a bag of .....
Crappy keyboard lag, last.fm skipping, the captivate buttons responsiveness has changed (for the worse), delayed screen rotation, camera writing exif gps data unless you disable gps and wireless location.
Overall this just runs and feels like pure junk. I was never one demanding and frothing for 2.2 and I'm glad I have backups of my 2.1 install and will be going back to it. I liked 2.2 at first until I really got to feeling it out.
Sure GPS is fixed but they screwed up 10 things in its place.

+1 on this sentiment. I am not having any issues like this. Now this is not a regression, but I noticed that there is still the cell standby issue that requires airplane mode toggle. I find that glitch to be really frustrating.

UK newbie with Desire Rom

Hi Guys, sorry for posting up - but I tried and tried searching, and I cant post in the dev forum..
First up - Had my UK HD2 for about a year, got fed up with hardly any updates and naff apps, so.. not listerning to that little voice in your head that says.. DONT DO IT!.. I researched and finally flashed the rom.
Everything went well.. (good job got a year left on contract!) - desire rom is up and running. Taken me a few days to work out what apps where causing me probs, but mostly its running very well. Finds my orange network.. works on wifi - its all good.
One prob I do have.. everytime I use a GPS program I get a 'freeze', google maps is quite important to me as I do a fair bit of travelling..
(its not a program thing - its the GPS) - tried many different GPS proggies.
So.. does anyone know if:
1) There's a patch or something to fix it?
2) If there's an update to the rom as its a few months old
([30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM)
3) How do I disable the ad's
.. other than that, its lovely!
Got angry birds to work by copying to the phone ram, stops the freezing.
One more question.. I downloaded an explorer app to access my home network NAS, works well - but some of the movies are in DIVX or WMV format and wont stream or play - any free suggestions?
Lovin it, big thankyou to everyone that contributed to me having the phone I always wanted.. Beer donation WILL be forthcoming, once I've got these probs solved.
Try the fix posted in the thread below, "instantaneous GPS fix)
Try adfree from market to stop ads.
I hear RockPlayer is good for video files.
If above don't work, install a more recent android build
Hope this helps

I would say delete phone.apk mms.apk qnd so on and then make all the icons that are related to network signal strange and so on transparent (framework) and you got it..

You can't just delete Phone.apk. A bunch of other apps will start crashing.
MMS can be removed though.
