m.tvcatchup.com not working in new roms - HD2 General

Can anyone else confirm an issue i've been having. The last few new roms I've tried, dutty and artemis, have been unable to play the streams from tvcatchup in the built in streaming program. They play fine for a couple seconds then there's just constant clipping. The image is fine but the sound is just aweful. Its not a bandwidth issue as using wi-fi and in middle of night so is not a problem their end either. Used to work on my last rom which was a cleanex rom from ages ago. Has there been an update to the player which may have broken it?

bumpity bump bump

I have the last few days just tried using tvcatchup.
When on 3g/hsdpa the pic and sound is perfect.
But here is the weird thing, when on wifi I am suffering the same problems as above.
There is a guy on tvc forums that mentioned this too but no one has replied to him.
Any thoughts guys

I was having the same issue there for i flashed the latest stock firmware, 3.14 i think it is with 2.15 radio. Works great now. Am officially done with broken "Improved" custom roms.

Music stops playing on TF3D player

Hi,
I've just bought the Blackstone from Orange UK. Noticed this problem with the TF3D music player. Once I begin playing any song, it just stop playing after a few seconds, maybe 15-30secs. The icon still appears to be playing but no sound is heard. Has anyone else faced this problem? Is it just on the Orange phones? Can I upgrade my rom? As I understand, network roms are not upgraded! What do I do? Please help!!
Also, is there a way the library can be refreshed or updated with the TF3D music player?
Thanks.
No one else experienced this??
Am I the only one with this prb? Anyone with any updates plz?
if you gon on the htc website there is a hotfix for skipping music, although you said your sound stops this might fix it. Worth a try
Tried the fix already, unfortunately it doesn't work!
Still looking for a solution for this problem. It is really nagging!! Plz help!!
Dude, use search, there is a number of ongoing threads for this topic. I for one have never had this problem (with shipped or cooked ROMs), but it seems plenty of others have. Good luck with it.
I've tried upgrading to the latest official ROM 1.56 but this still hasn't fixed the issue. This is pretty strange! How come not many others have faced this?

MP3 playback speed problem

My girlfriend's elf plays mp3s faster than their real speed. The pda was mine before and I hadn't noticed this because I didn't use it for listening to music.
I've searched through the forums without success, the only thread I found says that I have to call myself on and the playing speed jumps back to normal. wtf!? Which seems to be true.
Anyone can help me to solve this problem? This is a must have feature for my gf and I really don't want to sell this cute elf. MP3 playback is faster as a ringtone, too.
me too have the same problem..at first i thought it was because of the 4gb sdcard i use, but then i realise that was not the cause..i listen to mp3 a lot using my elf and everytime the problem occur, i have to soft reset my device..thats the only way to have it play by normal speed back..
I thought I was the only one having this problem, I don't usually use my phone as an mp3 player but this can be really annoying.
I don't think it's a ROM problem because I've changed my ROM 3 times already and still this occurs.
I hope someone can give us a fix for this.
my elfin plays mp3 and other audio files faster too... but then video playback seems normal for me... my workaround to this problem is to plug the original htc earphone, unplug, and it plays normal again...
any more useful fix for this problem???
Do you use software to overclock the processor's clock? (omapclock, batterystatus, etc.) I'll try this on the weekend and fire up a new rom, too. SRSWow is just for the quality of the sound, am I right? Or should I give it a try?
overclocked or not, playback is still fast
switching roms doesn't help (tried Onyx 5, 6, Miky, Mega, Ahen roms)
plugging in and out of the earphones is my only solution
EDIT:
is there an app that 'tricks' windows that a headset is plugged??

I don't know such an app but I think we can call ourself on by code which seems to work. Doing this in every 10-60, etc. minutes could solve the problem but this method is the last one I want to use. Would be really ugly.
Have you tried srswow hd? There was a thread where somebody said that could help. (And others said it doesn't.)
Anyway, I think we have to watch for windows messages. Get the messages invoked by the headset plug in and out and others that related. Maybe we will find something
Unfortunately, I don't have better idea.
I already tried srswow and it doesn't help
I'm also trying htc hardware equalizer, but same effect as srswow
even tried other media players like coreplayer, tcpmp, audio manager but none worked...
Several tims I have also faced the same issue "Fast Play MP3" but In Onyx I never faced this issue...
@premsoni4u
which Onyx ROM are you using?
Because currently I'm using Onyx Ultimate 4.9 and I'm still having the same problem.
It's not just the mp3, folks...
It's actually everything that has to do with audio on our devices... from your ringtones, sms alerts, even the system sounds.
it sucks big time... i don't think anyone's found a solution to this yet.

Presently I am using Onyx 6, Release-7, WM6.5 and never faced this issue in any version of onyx 6 series.
Today I am going to flash Onyx 4 series (Specially 4.9 ultimate version) to check the issue and will report you guys, if issue persists...
Hey guys I would like to jump in the wagon.
I'm having the same problem too
I'm using the dsixda's ONYX 4.9 JR version
Anyone can give a hand on this problem? It's really frustrating
hi guys
i have the same problem with you guys for a long time
in fact its since the very first time i used my elfin with a cooked ROM
until today no one have a fix for this
i've posted this problem a number of times
only solution for now is to reset the phone
but it's kinda annoying to keep resetting a couple of times a day
but when i tested it with 6.5 ROMS this problem doesn't occur
Anyone?
This problem is becoming increasingly annoying... In the span of 6 months or so that we've been having this problem, I noticed that the frequency of the problem manifesting itself has increased...
I used to have the same problem earlier. At that time, I used to reset my phone and it used to start playing mp3s at proper speed.
I currently have the latest Onyx Rom (link in my signature) and I've never faced the problem after installing this ROM. Maybe if the problem persists, try using a different player (Nitrogen is my favorite).
Can any1 help me.. MP3 songs are playing a bit fast in My touch..
facing the same problem... any luck guys?
hi all

Another solution is just dial any number and make your phone on speaker. once you hear voice on speaker just disconnect and again you are able to play music on your elf/in at normal speed...
(Tip: Just dial your own number so you will hear only busy beep and no other will be disturbed)

BT audio streaming stutters

Hi, did a search didn't seem to get any results so here goes.
Connected up to Sony head unit via BT and began to stream music, within a few seconds the audio cut off and then a second or two later came back on, this happened on every track every 10-15 seconds or so.
im using the latest froyo firmware.
anyone got any idea how to fix this? or has anyone else had these problems?
Cheers
Waz
hmm.. no problem on JH2 stock rom
i'm holding off on the BETA froyo, waiting for the full release of froyo before installing.
might be a firmware thing, or some other apps that you installed
Bluetooth streaming in BMW
I have the same problem with the stuttering. Will play for a while then stutter. Not to annoying but still a problem. I am thinking Froyo will fix it.
Froyo fixes everything. If not, Houston we have a problem...lol
Hi waz000000
Not using a head unit but a Nokia BH-500 unit with my Shure ear phones with no problems at all and all the controls on the BH-500 work on the Galaxy perfectly.

I read somewhere that some users were experiencing this issue until they tried turning off their wifi. That was their fix. Anybody wanna try?

[Q] QIK app reboots my phone... WTF?

I have an annoying problem with QIK - whenever I try to start a video chat or record a video, my phone reboots. Video camera and photo camera work fine outside of QIK. Has anyone else had this issue before? I searched the forums but no one has described this specific issue before.
Hardware v3
ROM: Fresh 3.4.0.1
Radio: 2.15.00.09.01
PRI: 1.77_003
Thanks.
Unfortunately it's starting to look more and more like there was a bug in the last Qik update. If you installed the upate and now have version 0.04.60.2 then maybe you need to uninstall it for now. It's working fine on my EVO, but when I look at the comments in the Market alot of folks are complaining about the reboot issue. In fact, Qik for HTC EVO 4G isn't even showing up in the Market anymore. So hopefully the company is aware of the issue and working on another update that will fix it.
Thanks. I thought that maybe with all this rooting/flashing I had done I damaged the system somehow. My GF has exactly the same setup, but her QIK works just fine... Oh well. I'll just have to wait for the new version.
It's a well known issue
glad i'm not the only one! haven't even gotten to try qik out yet.

Really annoying bluetooth problems on N6P

Okay so I'm gonna describe my problem as clearly as possible and will hope someone can find a fix for this.
Device: Nexus 6P
OS: Android 6.0.1 (latest vendor & security patch - June 2016)
Bluetooth devices used: Sony MDR 600BT, SOL republic tracks air, jbl synchros earphones, jbl flip 2 speaker.
1) pair earphones/speakers
2) start playing music on earphones/speakers
3) works fine on first run and when screen is off
4) when I switch on my screen to change the song the music stutters for 10 full seconds, then stuttering stops.
5) I change the song and again put screen off, works fine.
6) i put my phone in my pocket and suddenly my phone audio stops skipping??? Wtf???
7) so I change my pocket and put it in my hoodie pocket. (Nearer to earphones - maybe distance is the problem I thought)
8) audio still skips............:crying:
9) put my screen on to change song, audio starts stuttering again like crazy and then stops.
10) I request anyone here to heed this request and tell me how to workaround this problem
Currently running latest android MM 6.0.1 and no improvement .....:crying:
I don't understand one thing - top of the line flagship device and still these problems? Not getting value for my hard earned money. This is wrong.
I tried it with my iPod and it works like a charm. No stutters. No skips. Nothing.
Tried different Bluetooth headphones too in case my Sony earphones were the problem. NO IMPROVEMENT SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS.
TRIED USING IT ON ANY BLUETOOTH SPEAKER THE ABOVE THINGS KEEP HAPPENING AND I AM GETTING REALLY ANNOYED WITH THIS PHONE WHEN IT COMES TO BLUETOOTH.
I'm sorry for agonizing so much. But I hope you'll can understand my problem. And hopefully there's a fix somewhere in the world.
I am having the same issue, and my searches came up with this:

Is this a Play Music issue? I don't have these issues, but I don't use Play Music. usually stream through YouTube or something like that instead. Works on BT Headset and Sony BT head unit in my car.

I can't speak for Zapjack12345, but I notice it with PowerAmp, Pandora, Spotify, YouTube, basically any app that is pushing audio through bluetooth. Audio is fine when the screen is off, but as soon as I pick up the phone, and turn it on to check notifications, things get screwy with the audio
Strange. I just checked with Pandora, YouTube, and IheartRadio and all seem fine with screen off and turning it on, using the pulldown menu, or changing songs. I'm using a cheap set of bluetooth earbuds from Amazon (no-name brand), and am stock with the phone, not rooted (yet) and on June updates. Phone was purchased in May new from Best Buy.
Same issue for me as well. I'm specifically using Amazon and Pandora most of the time. Its very annoying. On Chroma and franco kernel.
What rom are you using? This has been a well documented CM rom issue so any rom that uses CM as a base will and has had this issue since mid-January. Stock and AOSP based roms dont have this issue (from what I've seen and tried).
I'm currently using the 6/15 nightly for OMNIrom and do not have these issues.
As a sidenote, this was also an issue with Android N Dev Preview 2.

I'm currently on Pure Nexus 5/6/16. Nothing out of the ordinary installed. Tried clearing the Bluetooth cache, as the issue I am noticing was similar to issues that the Samsung S5 was having, but there was no difference.
I am going to look to go back to stock and see what happens, but looking at what OP posted, it looks like they're on stock, and having the same issue.
I am about to throw my phone in the sea. BT seems like it's getting worse and worse with each update. Cmon Google/Huawei. Don't make me lose faith.

I had a little less issues when using the Dev Preview 3 but there was another issue that arised that I hope gets fixed.
If you're using bluetooth when driving around when you lose signal or drop/gain data connection the audio skips for a quick second. Through past testing I've done working with kernel devs on 2 phones, the issue is related to how the hotplugging works for the cores. If only one core is running when the connection drops there is an issue with how the cpu ramps up and/or turns on another core to handle the workload. I thought this regression was pretty interesting seeing as one the things they were boasting about at the Google conference was how android would fix slow downs and issues when losing/gaining network connectivity with N. Hopefully it'll be fixed before final release.

You and me both. I am on my 3rd 6P and my BT problems are still the same. If the BT problems were only effecting one particular device I could understand but my Microsoft band, BT earbuds and car all seem to disconnect continuously on a bare/stock phone.
Okay guys. I changed my ROM from Resurrection Remix to Paranoid Android and this issue has been solved. Thank you so much for all your help and answers!
Does anyone else have any updates regarding this issue? Literally wanted to throw my phone out of the window during the morning commute.

Yep, this is 100% the reason. It is a CM issue. AOSP roms like Paranoid Android and Pure Nexus don't have this issue. I love Resurrection Remix, but this is starting to bug me. I may jump to PA rom soon...

Thanks. Was about to ask this question. It is a CM issue.
I have had issues with BT dropping randomly in my car on 2 different 6P's. No rhyme or reason, and it doesn't happen often, but annoying when it does. Happened on MM and DP4 currently.
On the flip side, my audio quality went down on my S7E over BT when my smartwatch was connected. Somehow, that doesn't happen with the 6P meaning I can keep my watch on in the car, so I am happy.
Hey, I just found this thread and surprised it took me this long considering I've been having this issue since I got my phone in November.
My 64gb 6P was stock until earlier this week, when I finally rooted and flashed xposed. The issue stopped the day I rooted my phone, and I was thrilled.
After reinstalling most of my apps and getting back into my routine, the problem came back. I've tried booting my phone into safe mode several times before rooting so I'm fairly confident the issue doesn't exist because of a specific app interaction, but I can't figure out what it is to save my life. I might backup again and restore to the backup I made right after rooting to see if I can narrow down the problem.
Other than that, I am very new to this stuff and honestly just thrilled to have found other people having the same issue.
I only experience the problem while connected to my car (2015 Chevy Cruze), and not any other bluetooth device.
Let me know if you guys find/have found anything I suppose?
I kinda have up on trying to narrow down the issue. I tried PureNexus, Paranoid Android, I tried different kernels, different cases. Still kept skipping and jumping, no matter how far, or close it was to my Bluetooth device (car stereo, speakers, home audio system). I went back to stock, no root, no Xposed, pure and simple Android, and I have not had a single issue, it's beautiful.
