Music fix - Atrix 4G General

Hello... i seem to be having trouble with my music. When i start playing it through the stock player and leave my phone alone to play some tunes... the phone will stop the music after about 3 minutes of playing. I have juice defender running and i set up the music player to continue running after the screen locks... does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? Thanks for taking the time to help.

Are you on stock fw, and are you on Gingerbread or Froyo?...

Most probably your stock musicplayer is in "auto end list" in task manager app, it autostops the apps in the list at about the time you mentioned. Hope this helps and solves your issue...

I looked at auto end list but it wasnt there. Do you know of any other good music player? I usually use subsonic to connect to my media server at home, it has an option to keep the screen on. but when I'm in the car i like to listen to my tunes without streaming...

The big 3 are:
PlayerPro
PowerAmp
Winamp
Also for regular Internet Radio, I enjoy using Cherry RPlayer...

No problem, I ended up choosing PlayerPro myself a while back out of those Top 3.
BTW, Grab the "DSP Pack" and you can really have some fun with the equalizer settings added on...

Sometimes auto-ending a certain other app also causes the music to stop. I don't remember what it was, but it may have been photo gallery, or some other such media.

Widget please for the new music player in 2.2

I love the new music player and its features but for the life of me I don't understand why a widget was not included with this player.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I guess because the widget was for the android 2.1 player not the samsung player that comes with 2.2. Not to mention that would make it redundant having the controls in the notification bar after you start the app and a widget. What the should do on the other hand is give you the option to always have the controls shown in the notification bar. I also would have preferred a auto-rotation toggle over volume toggle... Because the volume buttons did a good job of that on their own, but now the simple task has become more complex and redundant...

Cough up $5.00 for PowerAmp and leave all default players as an afterthought.
Seriously, PowerAmp should be default. It's just that damn good.
Download Pure Music Widget from the market. Its a dollar, runs flawlessly, has like half a dozen widgets you can choose from and is awesome. Also works with almost every stock player on any device. Was actually my first purchase on Android.
Just get MusicMod. Free... Awesome...

Winamp has been working out for me. 2 widgets to choose from and lockscreen controls. Oh, its free too.

I second the need for a default widget, its crazy. The samsung music player is really nice, I rather use it than another one. I like the idea of always being able to keep the controls in the notification bar as an alternative to a widget though.

I got player pro but I'm really loving the look of the new player so yes a widget would be great.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I agree, the new stock player is nice. It is however lacking 2 important features for me though, the widget and headset controls. If they updated it to include those features, I'd drop winamp in a heartbeat. But until then...

I agree 100%. I bought it and love it!
Doubletwist for me. Lockscreen controls, nice simple widget. Player is free and I got the wireless sync with doubletwist desktop for $0.99. I found the sync works better than the Winamp one for me.

The features in poweramp are nice as is the ui, but the sound quality of the oem samsung player cannot be matched.

Exactly.. I hav always used "Mixzing" since the 'Moment' 1st came out & I went to Android.. but for the 1st time, the stock player really has my grasp.. I'm a Producer/mix engineer so I know what i hear as far as music goes (not sayin no one else does as well) but the look, function & the 5.1 thing did itfor me.. 5.1 feature is 2nd to none with any of the players mentioned period...

why don't you just try it yourself...?
audio comes out of the speaker just like any other media sound on the phone. you can use either one.
I meant is there a certain way to get it to come out of the speaker phone correctly. I tried the eq and audio stuff and nothing seems to work. I thought that maybe I was doing something wrong

what do you mean by "correctly"? are you expecting stereo sound to come out of a single speaker?
My best guess as to the OP's actual problem is that the phone is only outputting left or right of the stereo audio rather than joining both sides. If that is the case then yeah that needs fixing.

Having the same problem. All I get is background music and no dialogue. Not sure on a fix at the moment.
Yes..that is what im saying. I only get background sounds and no voices.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
does it happen with all content or just specific ones? if it is just specific ones then it is most likely a netflix problem...not an atrix one.

Sometimes that happens to me just take ur SD card out and put it back in or a reboot of the tab should fix it.

Music Player in notification

Just had this issue start a few days ago. Anytime the music player goes to the ticker view it also gets put in the notification screen, right? And when you completely exit the music player, it should go out in the notification screen. Well, not so much for me. Lol... The music player will stay in the notification until a reboot, even if I go to running services and force stop the music player service. In logcat it is constantly updating the ticker music view, even if the player is not running. Anyone else have this?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda app-developers app
I haven't noticed thus when I used the stock player but since then I bought the amp called power amp which is a huge improvement in terms of everything including sound quality so downloading another music player is an option if it bothers you

Not a big bother, other than its something constantly running in the background... But as often as I reboot shouldn't be a big deal. Besides, I'd miss the ticker music view. Just wondered if anyone else had it happen.

Yeah i dont have the ticker with power amp but I set it to be accessible from the lockscreen so I just hit the power button and can control my music, worst comes to worst if the problem bothers you that much its worth a try.
Also I checked to see if my stock music player did that and mine does not. So it could be the possibility that a mod is causing it and it's not the gingerbread rom. Also I have beats audio flashed so that could be another reason mine doesn't do it (most likely not). I would say it's most likely a mod

Built-In Music player problem - SM-N9005 + MJ7 (BTU)

Hi All
i've been searching through the internet and through XDA and couldn't find anything relative to the problem i experience with my Note 3 (SM-N9005 + MJ7 (BTU). I'm using the built in Music Player app and widget and i've noticed that it never remembers the minute/second of the currently played track after it exits. I mean - i listen to a 2 hours mix (single mp3 file) and pause the player after 40 minutes, then i want to resume from the same position but it will always start from the beginning of the track ! i've noticed that it happens only after Music Player disappears from the running apps and this happens few minutes after you actually pause it or exit from the UI.
Did anyone notice that ? is that a new "hidden feature" that we never asked for ???
