Has anyone else tried this? I've tried it but I've noticed that it only shows ever 20 seconds or so then sits there until the next 20 seconds. Essentially, I'll start streaming live and the first few seconds of the video will show then it freezes. Once the timer on the camera reaches around 20-22 seconds, the live feed video will kinda fast-forward/skip to the 20-22 second mark and freeze again until around the 40-42 second mark. Anyone else experiencing this?
The regular recording videos and sharing them is fine but the live feed just flat doesn't work.
I'm also having trouble getting live streaming to work. I thought it was a network speed problem but it even does it over wifi.

I tried 3G, 4G, and wifi all with the same results.
bump; anyone find a fix or better app for this?
I have not tried it yet, but you could try Ustream (http://www.ustream.tv/). It has an app for streaming via your phone in Android Market.

Does anyone else who uses PowerAmp have problems with playback hiccups? Doesn't do it all the time, but quite often. Especially likes to do it at about 2-3 seconds after a song starts when you'd skipped to a new track.
I use it regularly and don't have any problems with it.
I use it often also and have no problems.
Are you running on Froyo? I'm still on eclair if that makes a difference. I love Poweramp but the hiccups make it annoying enough to be unusable. Doesn't do it all the time and there aren't any problems with the stock music player.

I am stock. Maybe stupid question but have you updated to latest version? I saw something in the change log about fixing skipping.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah it says to adjust the audio buffer size if you have skipping. Although I have been using it since the first version came out and have never had a skipping problem. But give that a try and see if that works.

I'm rooted stock. Tried messsing with the buffer setting and still does it. Must be another app that is messing with it. Got the latest version.

Rooted stock also. Does it happen both on wifi and 3g/4g? Headphones, bluetooth and phone speaker? What audio format? I am all mp3 of various bitrates 128 and above. Sorry for so many questions just trying to help figuring it out.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No 4g here, but does it over both wifi and 3G. All are mp3's of different bitrates, mostly 192-320kbps. It won't do it on all tracks and sometime not even the same track if I replay it, but most commonly in that 2-4 seconds in but will do it in the middle of the song at times. I uninstalled last.fm thinking it's scrobbling might be the culprit (even though I had it turned off) but still no help. The only other audio apps I have is Pandora, Tunein Radio and Audiogalaxy. Might try uninstalling those too to see if that fixes it.

It's Android, I think. I expected better audio performance and got it compared to my old Touch Pro, due to better hardware and software. But the thing is I expect every audio player, even the stock ones, will do this sometimes, and my non-expert observations tell me that it's simply other phone processes interfering in memory and CPU. So with the right tools, I'd focus on IDing what those are, if that's possible.

I have pandora and tune in also so I don't think those would be a problem. Like the post above me said try and eliminate all processes one at a time to see if you can find the problem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Did a factory reset and still does it. Doesn't appear to be just PowerAmp though as I tried using the stock player for a while and found it will do it sometimes as well. I'm guessing at this point it must be an issue with the SD card.
Damn that sucks. Sorry to hear that.

I have the same problem. I've tried 3 different roms (including stock eclair) and it still shutters.

I know exactly what it is. Whenever you lose 3G signal, any media playing with mute for approx 1 second. And when the signal returns, same thing. It's very annoying if you're listening to music in a dead area (I tend to listen to mine while I'm at work) and it sometimes cuts off during music, but only for about a second.
check and see your signal strength when you're listening to it and see if you're losing signal (via status bar) during these "skips".

That may explain the random ones that happen in the middle of a song. The ones that were occuring at the beginning of almost every song were what was driving me up the wall the most. I ended up reformatting my SDcard and it seems to have taken care of that problem. Still getting an occasional random one, but I get a really weak signal here at work, so I'll have to test it some more at home. I think you are dead on about it being a "mute" and not an actual skip of the song.
It's just annoying when a high end phone like this can't even play music back as well as some dumb feature phones. Maybe's it's an Android problem and not an Epic one in particular as I've seen some EVO posts of people experiencing the same thing.
Oh, and if I try to mess around on the internet through the browser it tears it up bad. Can't be simply the data connection because using apps like XDA and other apps that access the internet don't affect it at all, just the stock web browser.
Well I found something interesting that really affects it, screen brightness. I usually have my screen brightness set to manual and on the lowest setting. Right before this started happening I switched it to Auto and left it there since. Since the browser brightness has it's own setting switching back and forth really messed with it. Once I turned it back to manual and set both the browser and phone to low it rarely does it if at all, even while browsing. When I turned the browser setting back to high, then as soon as I click a link and it starts downloading it acts up. Weird. Seems like now it must be a power consumption issue as well if it's more likely to do it when the screen is brighter.

That doesn't seem to be caps problem because he said it does the same thing on wifi. Although I am assuming that there is a strong wifi signal.

Been listening for the past hour with the brightness down and on manual and it's worked almost flawlessly.
I love android a lot, but the OS still needs work. Its still somewhat weak in certain areas that a iPhone and Blackberry tops in...... Anyway I been having issues with my signal data. I can have really low or good signal and it does the samething. When I'm online or using youtube while loading something my data stops, and won't load the page. It used not do this as bad, but since I got the 2.2 update its getting worse...... Androids burn up a lot of data, and idk why my phone uses data when not in use, but when streaming video, or loading a web page it doesn't light up at times like it timed-out or something..... Any Suggestions????? Even when I restart the phone soft or hard restart it still does it. Anyone else have this issue?

Not sure if anyone else have encountered the same issue, but when I stream lengthy videos on Youtube app (>15mins), the buffering happens fine initially and the video kicks off. After say, 5 mins it stops all together and the video gets stuck. Im able to reproduce it everytime on my device. The workaround is to close the app, reopen it, get back to the same video, and get to the same point where it hung. Imagine my plight, when you need to watch an hours video on Youtube. I had buffering issues on the TF, where buffering was slow, but it never stuck indefinitely.
Anyone else facing similar issues and any ideas regardin how to fix this?

Testing it out now with a 20:00 minute video, couldn't find anything but the Milan Fashion Show in HD
Will let you know (have screen timeout set to 30 mins).
UPDATE: Watched the ladies march down the podium in full glory of HD for all 20 mins without any buffering issues.
Not sure if its a Youtube issue or issue with my Tab. The speed on my Wifi router is close to 25 Mbps download. But, lots of youtube videos take hell lot of time to buffer on my TF, Tab and in some cass, on my laptop too.

Most likely it is your ISP. Is it happening when you are connected to another wifi access point?

OK so yesterday I hooked up my tablet to my stereo and pulled up the siriusxm website and was streaming from there. So everytime the screen shutoff so did the stream. I tried the app but I cant get it to work it keeps saying checking for updates. So my question is, is there someway to make the browser continue to stream with the screen off I had to set it to never turn off and it worked great but it does do a number on your battery. Any help would be appreciated.
try with dualweb, maybe.
mine streams from ghosttown with the screen off and docked and closed.
Online streams do this to me, though oddly with upnplay from my own servers, never a problem. Perhaps its a power/bandwidth setting devs put in for smaller devices need to save battery, by default.

No such problems using TuneIn Radio for Android. Continues to play, regardless of whether I tap the power button to sleep, let the sleep timeout elapse, or close the screen when docked. Also happily wakes up from sleep to play an online stream as an alarm clock.

Do you have your WiFi sleep policy set to never?
If you have it set to shutoff with screen off that might be it, not sure.
EDIT: OK I missed that you are accessing XM through the browser, yeah I think when screen goes off or when you're out of the browser
everything shut down.

I have the same issues with SIRIUS Their app fails.
Works great on my phone but wont work on my tablet.

Yes everytime that I have to minimize the browser for some reason the stream stops is there some kinda of work around for this. I just want to start the stream and then shut off the screen and have it still run. Yes my wifi policy is set to never

I beleive the issue is with SIRIUS. Their app is not made for honeycomb and does not work.
If you do the webpage honeycomb is set to turn off the inactive page. I noticed that I even lose audio if I switch to a different tabed browser or application. To me it appears to be a honeycomb featured mixed with a sirius application bug.
Thank God I can listen NP on my EVO 3d

The application itself must tell the device not to sleep.
Have you ever noticed how when you install certain apps one of the permissions required is "Keep your Device Awake"?
This is why some apps keep playing when you turn the screen off. The browser however, cannot keep your Asus awake and when you turn the stream off it will stop.

I had this issue with Music, and now have it with Music Beta.
When listening to a song, when the screen timeout engages, the player will never go to the next song (but it will at least finish the current song). Probably a feature, but would be extremely nice to override that.
Changing the Wifi settings didn't seem to fix it; only removing the screen timeout did.
On the same topic, I guess, but is there a way to keep the Youtube app running in the background while using another app?
I guess another thing would be if theres a way to keep flash videos running while browsing another tab in a browser, but Opera and the stock browser don't allow that.
Has anyone else had issues with streaming apps like Pandora and iHeartRadio dropping out when the screen turns off? My Nexus 4 occasionally drops the audio stream when the screen turns off when I am on Wi-Fi. It is odd that Pandora drops out because it should be able to buffer an entire song.
I also notice the YouTube buffering issue when playing in HD.

I would check your internet connection and check to see if you have any battery saver apps.
No battery saving apps, my internet connection is pretty stable. I have keep wi-fi on during sleep set to Always. I did notice that Wi-Fi optimization is check which says it minimizes battery usage when Wi-Fi is on. I will try running with that unchecked but has anyone else run into this issue?
