[Q] GPS and MP3's. Can't we all just get along? - Galaxy Tab General

Not sure if you can help, but i'm having a strange issue on my Galaxy Tab. When i'm out walking i usually listen to podcasts on the same device as Viewranger is running on. However, i have found that if i have an MP3 (podcast for instance) playing, in any app (default music player, Doggcatcher, etc), the GPS appears to turn off with the screen, or soon after. I have to turn GPS off (status bar at top of Tab) and then back on again. It then dies with the screen again. If the screen stays on, so does the GPS.
Turn off the MP3 app, and the GPS returns to normal (ie, stays alive). I can repeat the issue every time.
This also affects other GPS reliant apps such as Google Earth and BackCountry Navigator.
Hard resetting the device hasn't worked, neither has trying different roms.
Do you have any suggestions as i currently have to choose between having something to listen to, or having a correctly functioning GPS.
Thanks.

BA turn off and crash BT, SD reading and WIFI

Hello, i used a BA with the ROM WM6,1 of XPLODE(veery good just to say hehehe) and sometimes when i are listening to music the devide auto turn off(with the "auto turn off" in setting set to no shutdown) and jump to next song, in same time you cant go back to the music then you was listening. At same time the BT comunications with GPS crash and i have to turn off and on again the bluetooth and the gps software to go back to normal.
Anybody have the same problem?

Hey Boys Need some Help Here- keep data on when screen dims

i use jriver webremote to control my computers media player. everytime my phone times out after 30 second dim. when my computer media player changes to next song and click a button htc hd2 and go back to opera webremote page. the image from last playing song is gone and the song thats playing now isnt showing as playing, but the one that was playing when it went to sleep is showing. i think when the phone times out after 30 seconds. then opera isnt reciving information from my media players server telling the htc hd2 that the song has changed.
is there away for me to keep opera auto refreshing while the phone times out?
Thanks guys... i really need this to work!
anyone? lol
we're having bonfire tonight.. and have noticed even after rom update. that for some reason if my screen turns of after 1 minute then i loose my wifi to my jriver on pc. meaning when i turn phone back on to chnage song or volume etc... that my webremote has to refresh and looses its covers for songs, and what song is playing.
is there away for me to turn on data even in standbye mode? if so is there a pp for quick enabling and disabling of it when in standbye? This has got to be possible, there has to be other out there that need data while there phone goes to sleep?
Anyone?

Music Player Apparently stops playing

Anyone else experiencing an issue with the default music player app? Mine stops playing after the screen cuts off. I've got it ignored in task manager. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
In addition, I found that leaving my phone sitting in the passenger seat while playing music can make it randomly skip songs. I don't mean to the next song, I mean to the middle of a random song. And when it finishes, it hops back to where it hopped from.
I am having this issue as well. App is ignored in task manager but music stops playing a minute or so after the screen goes to sleep. It's really getting annoying. Thank you in advance for your help.

I thought there might have been some interfering auto killed app, so I unchecked all of them and proceeded to block half each time to find the problem. 0 apps blocked, music worked after screen went off. Half blocked, music still worked. 3/4 blocked, music still works. 7/8 blocked, music still works. Block everything I intended to be blocked the first time around, music still works.
Yeah, I have no freakin idea why my music stopped after playing with the blocking, but it solved itself somehow. Just try soft reset, give it some time.
I also have the same issue. It doesn't appear to happen when I let the screen lock itself, only when I manually hit lock.

After messing with differnt apps being auto ended, I discovered that the gallery app has something to do with the music player. When I removed the gallery app from the auto end list, the problem went away. When I readded it, it came back. Someone else will probably want to check this but it worked for me
What I did is:
Remove music app from the app killer
Go into- manage apps/music player/force close/clear data
Songs will be deleted
Put the songs back, but put them in the- playlist folder
hope it helps.
I think this may be a no hassle temporary solution.
If your music keeps stopping:
Set your timeout to never, manual lock, unlock, set timeout to your normal setting.
So far, I've only tried letting it timeout on its own, but the music doesn't stop anymore.
Is the music on your SD card or internal memory?
It's on the onboard memory.
it is a system bug
and a third party player can fix it.
i use MIUI player and didnt have that problem
i have my music on both internal and sd card storage... and this keeps happening..
anyone using a different music player? I'd like to find the one used in CM. (any idea where that one can be had?)
I tried Meridian, but the error happened to me once. My quick fix seemed to work still.

I don't have this problem and I can manually or automatically lock without the the music gets interrupted. I don't use any taskkiller? There is no reason to use one in Froyo and not on this powerful phone.
i tried every method you guys have here and theres no luck =[ i hate this i might just take the phone back but apparently is a problem with the OS its self i might just buy and ipod touch
Turns out the task manager was the problem for me. Even though no music applications were on the autokill list, it still killed my music. try removing everything from any task manager or task killer. I'm back to enjoying my phone again.
ramensama: don't be so quick about that.
Sometimes, unlocking and locking the phone is enough to stop it from stopping.
y i got a question not sure its the right thread but.. i have a pair of earbuds with remote and volume and answer keys which does not seem to work on my atrix.. is there anyway to make those keys work.. cause when some one calls it doesnt use the built in mic... i think... anyone having the similar issue?

Thx, this worked for me too. I excluded the Gallery app from the auto-end list and all is good now

nav no longer mutes audio

for some reason recently my google maps and waze no longer mutes the audio of any music playing when it gives turn by turn directions. it used to work just fine, whenever it would start the give directions it would mute my music. any one else have this problem ...or have a fix?
Waze should still have a configuration setting to mute it; Maps this seems to be an app change as I noticed this as well. There is a setting once you are in a route where you can set it to mute during calls, I have not found any other option for muting.
weird. this is a recent thing for me. i never had to make any change in any app or do anything before. this really just started happening about a week ago for me.

BT Shuts off after working for 30sec with Ford Sync3

So when I get into my truck with my bluetooth on, my truck finds the phone instantly and will start playing my spotify. It'll play for a good 30 seconds or more and then just disconnect basically and put me to Sirius or FM/AM. If I try to reconnect it in my sources. Just sits and searches for my phone and cant connect. I shut toggle off and on my BT on phone and then connect it and works like its suppose to. Any hints or ideas on what to do so I dont need to do this each time. I've even tried to get in with BT turned off, and toggle it on but it still does it once basically each time I get in.
No one else has this problem?
