hi,
just wanna ask if theres any music players out there that lets the phone remain in deep sleep mode. the fm radio doesn seem to affect the deep sleep mode so im wondering if theres any music player apps out there that does the same thing.
thanks!
Do you even know what is exactly a CPU in "Deep Sleep" ? It's just like an human sleeping. You can be awoken by your alarm clock and then do tasks, but you can't play music while being asleep.
It's about the same for your phone.
Kinda impossible, MP3 players need to use the CPu to decode the file so the CPU can never sleep (someone correct me if i'm wrong). The FM radio is on the Bluetooth/wifi chip so the CPU can deep sleep. The audio is just sent directly to the Yamaha chip to be processed.
I think some of the latest Kernels are too aggressive with there deep sleep, this effects bluetooth and music play
i see, i'll just stick to the radio then! thanks

Hey, just wondering if there are any apps or features on my nexus that have a sleep function ? (It shuffles music for X amount of time then turns the music off)
A Online Radio (that plays Shoutcast, etc., streams) has a sleep function. It doesn't play your local music tracks, but maybe it will serve your purpose?

Am I correct that if the screen "sleeps" then the music player turns off even when plugged into headphone jacks. I really hope I just have some setting not enabled or something. Cause on a long road trip, it would be ridiculous to have to have the screen stay on the entire time for music to come out. Android 1.5 music player did not work that way. the screen could sleep all it wanted to, the music would continue.......oh, and I enabled the setting that says "keep screen on when plugged in" and it doesn't seem to work. my screen still turned off thus turning off my music player. also happened after a notification (SMS) was finished processing. screen went off.
no, music is not supposed to turn off when the screen sleeps.
makes sure you do not have automatic task killer or some other similar application that terminates the music.
it's in the ignore list of my task killer app.
i wanted my phone to be a permanant music player but it freezes in transition to going idle and waking up really annoys me. Does this happen to anyone else? Happens on stock clock.....overclocked....setcpu profile set to performance.
Any help?
Now that would be annoying!! But got no music on my phone so cant test for you.
Have you tried any other music players? I hear Winamp is good, give it a bash.
The only time I've encountered that is when I was streaming something on my phone using the stock mp3 player. Anything offline works perfectly fine.
Sent from my HTC Vision
G2 or Desire Z? I have the Z, and using the stock HTC music player, music playback does not stop when turning the screen off/on. Overclocked to 1 GHz. SetCPU also, have played around with On Demand and Performance governers, screenoff profiles. Have never had an issue of the music stopping while turning the screen off/on.
He shouldn't need to overclock his phone to play music, guys. It's more probable that a "screen off" profile in SetCPU or CPU Tuner are causing this. Although it could very well be something else. I'd be irritated as hell by that!
Maybe he's streaming over WiFi? If the WiFi is set to turn off when the display goes off, maybe that would cut off the music stream (assuming the player doesn't automatically restart the stream over the data connection). No clue though. I definitely haven't seen this problem with music stored on my sdcard...
No guys i am not streaming at all. ill tried turning off set cpu profiles on screen off. Still no luck. ill try a different music player.

Nobody ever said he did (need to overclock to play music).
I was simply stating that how I have my phone setup is similar to his, and have no issue with the music freezing. I've tried screen-off profiles in both SetCPU and CPU Tuner, with absolutely no issues with the music player.
installed winamp and all is good. I was using the new unofficial android music player that everybody likes but i guess thats why it is not offical it still has some bugs.
Anyone else experiencing audio gaps while playing music with screen off?
App doesn't seem to matter (Play Music, N7, ...), Boeffla Sound enabled, Eargasm preset, no saturation prevention, no privacy mode, earphones and speaker boosted and optimised.
Any obvious suspects? Any hints anyone?
NB: Yes, I do use a custom kernel, but I can't tell who's the culprit, so I ask for others experiences to allow to find the cause of it.

Hi
I do not know if this is related but since I installed Omni (coming from latest AOKP); I have issues with my Samsung HS3000 Bluetooth receiver, i use poweramp and I experience a lot of skips when playing music (poweramp is set to automatically turn off the screen after a few seconds); I increased buffer size, poweramp priority, bluetooth priority but the skips remain... Playing thru headphones directly plugged in is ok
Hey guys,
I've been having this issue as well, and I've managed to narrow down what's wrong, but still haven't been able to fix it or find out what's causing it. I'm using stock kernel with the latest nightly on a GS4 i9505.
The issue seems to be that the device is constantly going into Deep Sleep mode. Go into the Performance tab in Settings (unlock Developer Mode first, I think) and have a look at the Time In State data. Right now, for 12h of uptime, my phone is showing 8h of Deep Sleep, despite me using it as GPS and listening to Audiobooks for most of the work day. Even more, it's been happening while I am actually USING the device.
Additionally, it's reporting that my Max CPU speed is 0 MHz, with Min at 486 MHz. Any time I put the slider up to full (or anything, really), it forgets it and goes back down to 0. I've changed Governer and Scheduler, and even used other tweaking apps to control the kernel, but nothing seems to stick.
On the whole, I'd really not mind too much except I listen to audio books while I'm working/driving, and having it skip and stutter because the phone is struggling to process the audio is exceedingly frustrating.
Going to take a closer look around for this, now that I know what the issue is. Putting it up here so you guys can look as well.
Cheers.

While listing to music from the stock music player with eq the phone does not go into deep sleep is this normal? I had been listening to 1-2hrs music today and yesterday and both times the same pattern was seen. I have tried restarting it and even tried to restore it but still no deep sleep when music is playing from stock music player
Is this normal ?
Why would the phone enter deep sleep state when you're listening to music, regardless of your music source???

Because my 3 year old HTC M8 goes to deep sleep while playing songs using the stock player. I think it use's Low power audio to achieve this so either the S8 lacks it or I have done something wrong in the settings.
