pandora works good for me, when i try to view a youtube video it says it has a problem, I tried fixing it by changing the http pd proxy to 0 in the ##3282# menu and it worked but killed pandora. pandora would play a song them stop playing music. i dont use youtube much so its not really a big deal for me but it would be nice for the phone to fully work.
Try a full reset. I know it is a pain but it might help.

I think I got it zeroed out the http pd proxy and rstp settings then did a battery pull seems to be working okay . Lost some speed though

I am having a long lag between songs in Pandora after the Gingerbread update - is that related?
Yeah I thought I had it fixed but I don't .. long gaps here too
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Long gaps here, too, and I can trace it back to Gingerbread update and the latest Pandora update. Mine seems to gap most often when it's loading a commercial, which is sadly much more frequent with the newest update to Pandora. I have cleaned out everything, reset, and reinstalled Pandora and the such, still gaps, on WiFi or 3G.

I have a paid subscription (I stream it all day long at work, so I think it's only fair) so I don't have any commercials, but there is still a long lag between almost every song, and now sometimes the album covers fail to load.
Still tolerable, and overall it is a fantastic service, but I would think upgrades should make things better, not worse.............
Ive been going crazy thinking it was just me.. Feel better knowing its not..
I noticed if u leave Pandora running in the foreground u don't get the gaps between songs.

Just curious if anyone had issues with slacker closing it self out after about 30 minutes of play. Pisses me off, because the app won't reopen from the recently used apps list, have to launch it back from the app drawer. It also closes out of the notification bar. I dont think this is normal because my hero would play all day. If others are having the problem, I want to write the dev and see what they have to say about it.

Which ROM? DK28 has horrible RAM management.
Slacker, once a great app that is now pure garbage. I uninstalled that thing months ago. Would open by itself in the background, ate batteries for lunch, and too many ads.

It almost seems as if Slacker watches for user interaction with the device and after about a half hour it will close if you don't interact w/ your device.
Really gets on my nerves too. It does the same thing for me but I've never paid attention to how soon it will shut down.
I've been using Pandora quite a bit lately.

Yeah, this seems to be it - if I don't use the device at all, it closes down. Which sucks, I usually lay it on my desk while I roam the server room and listen to music.
It's funny sometimes I don't even realize it if I get busy on a project. But as soon as I do I have to go back and turn it back on. Pisses me off. I think Ill switch back to pandora...they both have their ups and downs. But I thought slacker was good for general background noise where pandora was good if I wanted something specific.

Ever try Tune In Radio? It broadcasts actual radio stations. I use it mostly for sports talk in my car. I use Pandora sometimes in my car also, but it's not a fav for a variety of reasons

I also use TuneIn to listen to out of state radio stations, however, I prefer to pick artists that may not always be mainstream in one way or another..
Pandora is above average for this requirement, however, it does lack in others LOL
It amazes me how many people have problems with this app!
I use slacker at work and in my car for multiple hours every day and I've never had an issue. I do have a premium account, but I don't see how that would matter...
I've run stock, Syndicate, Midnight, & Viper roms and I've received nothing but excellent performance every time (streaming over bluetooth btw).
I guess it just really shows you how your mileage may vary from device to device, lol.

Can you test something for us since you're the only person that I'm aware of that has a premium account ??
Creat a free account and try it out for a week or just a few days and see if you experience similar problems. Maybe it works 'indefinitely' since you're a paying subscriber.. Seriously though, I was about to pay for premium because I like the caching option for times when I don't have a good signal or whatever.
I can't seem to play any videos through the youtube app.
Every one gives me the same error:
"there was a problem while playing

youtube put up a statement on the site saying that it's something on the backend the changed and now have to release another update for the app. It's not just the epic that's having the the problem. A lot of phones with 2.2 are. You can still go on the full site and watch the videos in flash if you want to.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yup, tried that and it worked. However, on some vids, now goofy youtube says I need a flash upgrade. Argh.
Dolphin browsers to watch flash.
I wish they'd fix this **** already, getting tired of rebooting my phone all the damn time. Seems to trigger by the phone dropping to below 50% battery then charging back above. At least I've read there seems to be some correlation and it seems to be the case on my phone as well.
No problems here youtube works fine for me

The new blur is far far far superior to the old blur. Much smoother and snappier. GB in itself is very smooth, even without overclocking. Its worth a try.
Agreed. Sorry to come off that way. Between folks semi bricking their phones and posting a thread about it. I kinda was like o_0 . I used to not like blur. But now stock GB at 1.25 GHz is great.

Put my phone on GB this morning. Cant comment on its battery life. I came from fission 2.6.1 and this seems alot smoother. I also got a 300point boost on quandrant. I have not OCed it yet but I am sure I will soon.
Exchange setup is different that before which threw me for a little loop but got it figured out.
Hope Pandora works ok this. on 2.6.1 after I unplugged my headphones pandora would pause and if I waited several hours before pluggin headphones back in and playin pandora again it would play the cached song then would close. Wouldn't give me a FC but just close out and then I couldn't get it to work again unless I rebooted phone..

i never had this issue on any of the fission ROMS, it may have been the version of Pandora you were running. the only recent issues i've experienced with Pandora is how it will sometimes kick out of the "station" and go back to the selection list. if you're walking along, you don't know if it's buffering or quit or what!!
new blur is big improvement. still hate the app force-feed of backup assitant and city ID, but nothing a little rooting can't take care of.
Ya that is what my pandora is doin. but it wont let me select a channel then. well it does but it kicks back out to station selection.
On GB haven't had that issue yet. I have had it close. so I am sure its Pandora's problem.
Has anyone got Corperate Sync to work on this GB. I can not get it to work I get failed to logon message everytime.
OC'd GB and got 2235 on Quandrant FYI 400 higher than I seen with fission i was getting 1800's at 1350.
But I run underclocked/undervolted just needed to try it out
when pandora acts like that (can't choose a channel), i usually quit it and open it again, seems to fix it, for a little while at least. not sure if it's a network issue.
pandora hasn't FC'd on me yet (knocking) and the headphone/phone call "coordination" seems to work better (unplugging headset pauses music, etc.). something weird that seems to happen is after i plug in a headset, pandora pauses, but only eventually. i don't think it's instant, usually it's like 30s or something.
Bluetooth and regular media volume are know linked together vs before headphone jack and bluetooth were seperate. Use headphone jack for car and bluetooth for my S9's. Kinda a bummer since I blar my music on S9's because i use them at the gym and then when I go to plug it into my car my car speakers about blow up LOL..
Has anyone seen the keyboard and botton 4 buttons not light up. Its a hit or mis if they light up on me. I noticed it last night when I was tryin to type in the dark. the lights are lighting up today but early this morning they did the same thing.

Has anyone else found that Netflix video and audio go out of sync pretty regularly??? I find that the video stutters for a second, and the audio is then out of sync. The video speeds up and catches up with the audio a short time later, then shortly later the problem happens again.
I have netflix on my tablet o.o and it works great. No out of sync audio with video or any problems

Any other ideas on a stock 10.1???
The last version of Netflix was horrible like that for me, but the current is perfect. You probably already did this, but uninstall and re-install? Hope it works for you.
The current version of Netflix works great for me. I'm on Task's latest rom.

I am using Overcome's ROM at the moment.
I posted earlier that I had not had the same problem but last night I was watching Top Gear on Netflix and experienced some pretty bad stuttering, but when I played the same show today it was fine.
Sometimes when I start Netflix its out of sync and/or stuttery. Usually I just reboot the tab and then it works fine.
I have the same issue.. My audio/video will get out of sync. I have a T-Mobile galaxy tab 10.1 with stock everything without a root.
I was having this same issue wile watching some videos with my kids today. I usualy fixed its self but it was very annoying. I was on stock 3.2 at the time, latest version of netflix and my intenet is prety darn fast.
I'm running Task's 7.0 rom at the moment. I'll have to test and see if it makes a difference.
I'm getting some pretty significant stuttering on YouTube when playing hd videos. It couldn't be my wifi because hd 1080p movies on Netflix play smoothly.
Anyone else having this issue?

Well apparently it's the YouTube app...just read the comments on Google play for this device. =/ it's a shame, I'm starting to realize more and more the software hasn't caught up with the hardware in this beast.
None of you watch videos on YouTube??
I've been using the stock browser for YouTube.... not full HD results but at least it plays without jittering and pausing to buffer all the damn time... buffer stays way out ahead of video and plays like a champ.
Just a temporary solution until fixes for apps start coming around...

Same. I can confirm that YT through the browser is very smooth, but like you said it's not really HD, just "HQ", which is so damn stupid. Why can't they figure out a way to enable HD through the browser?
Just an FYI. I was having the same issue as you. I un-installed all of the updates for the YouTube app, and set it to not auto update.
Did this a week ago and its been running perfect ever since.

I tried that but for some reason hd videos still stutter for me. Ugh.
I use the Youtube app all the time, it never buffers. Been awhile since I've had a device like that. I'm wondering if this phone has MIMO.
My $600 Sony Tablet buffers in the same spot.
You bring up an excellent post!
When I got my note 3 for $700 no contract a month ago, I was on the verge of returning it the very next day because no matter which youtube app version in the store I was using, it would stutter and drop frames but not all the time, just every so seconds it would drop frames or stutter like. It drove me nuts because this beast of a phone should not hiccup on youtube videos 1080p or not. My iPad 3 doesn't even have this problem at all.
I also installed flash using the digital cookies version of the AOSP browser and you won't believe it but full screen youtube videos do not stutter or drop frames!! This is compared to the stock youtube app!
So I have to say it has to be typical android BS where the app is just not optimized or buggy as F as usual. Netflix doesn't seem to drop frames like the youtube app - but watching anything .mp4 online streamed will do this occasional frame drop "lag" issue. Really pathetic if you ask me how this andreno 330 gpu can't handle a youtube video!
Using even the MX Player app (using SW, HW, HW+ accelerations), it would still drop frames/stutter! Unbelievable. So it has to be something to do with this phone's hardware drivers. God knows how long it will take samsuck to fix this or even acknowledge this. Google ain't gonna touch it because they are focused on kitkat BS which I don't give a damn about considering it has nothing compared to Samsung's S-Pen and all the galaxy note features.
I had the same problem but cleared cache partition through recovery and don't have the issue anymore. Maybe you can try that

Nope - deleting/formatting the cache partition does nothing. A full wipe does nothing either. Even removing the updates and restoring stock youtube will help ALOT but the drop frames/stuttering is still present in the youtube app. Go load up some VEVO music videos in HD and you'll see what I mean. Android sucks; loaded up the same videos with the same ads on an iPad(3)/(4) and ZERO stuttering/dropping frames. Android just can't do anything smoothly!
I have to agree with you. I can say it's DEF not the phone itself - the hardware is godly. It's ****ty android and/or the YT app simply isn't optimized yet for this brand new hardware.
The absolute concrete evidence came for me when I streamed a full 1080p VERY VERY high bitrate movie from my computer with ES file explorer (best file explorer btw). I purposely picked the movie with the highest bitrate, the dark knight, in my case. The video played smooth as melted butter.
Just to be sure, I also moved the file to my phone, because with streaming it can be argued that the host machine, my computer in this case, does all the grunt work. It still played like butter.
So this is just another classic case of software lagging behind the hardware...Google is notorious for this.

Well I tried it and I still have absolutely no lag or stuttering when I did the same video that I had issues with before, in my house again with my slow a$$ Internet (65mbps) and no problems since I cleared my partition cache through recovery. Sorry that it hasn't worked for you, but it did an amazing job for me because I had exactly the issues you had. Couldn't watch one video completely through.
