does anyone know if this is dead or if the dev is just taking a break?
it appears to consume power like nothing i've ever seen, aside from that it's utterly amazing and i'm curious why it seems like it gets no love =/
I'm guessing its a memory leak that's affecting battery life. after playing songs for a while the gap between tracks gets longer and longer until the app is almost unresponsive

Yea, tbh, after realising that it didn't seem to be working great and that it didn't look nice (yea, I really care ), I dumped it and installed Play Music from the Play Store (well actually it was Google Music when I installed it ), oh and BTW, I live in the UK and you can install it in other countries, I cannot remember quite how (I think it was through the website, but I am sure you can find an apk on XDA).
Hope this helps.
Yeah I'm not sure about development on it since it may be official, I bet there is some going on. I've also noticed the 'gap' between tracks and along with that, it sometimes will still play after pulling out headphones and I've had it start playing out of nowhere. I'm sure it's not abandoned, I'll see if I can find anything about it.

I've seen a few others vent frustration over this, but haven't heard of any findings yet:
These stock Samsung apps are disabled when the battery level goes below 15%
Camera
Music Player
Video Player
I've already missed out on a lot of great photo ops due to this ridiculous setting. Is there any way to lift these restrictions? (yah, I know one option is to just use other apps) Toyota doesn't cut off my stereo and AC when I'm at less than a quarter tank!!
Also the low battery warnings seem to pop up at 15% and 5%. Would be great to lose one of those or just make a single one at 10% if anybody knows how.

agreed... i like to drive until my wheels come off--or my battery is dead.
thats so funny i was just about to make a thread like this when i get home lmao.
yea please any devs willing to work with us here i looked into files and settings but nothing i can find to uplift the restrictions. a simple update would take them off i think. missing good picture on the go with 15% battery left was the dumbest -___-
The easiest way I've found to fix this is replace them with the stock android apk's. Samsung is using there own music/media player which is what put those limitations in place. I saw this on another thread somewhere but if you install the stock music.apk you can then get rid of sound player,music player, and video player using titanium. I've done this on my phone and I'm pretty satisfied with the stock android player. As for the camera...i haven't found anything to replace that yet

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.

For some reason when I plug headphones into my nook color I can't hear any music/alerts etc. The only sound I hear is what sounds like an eight bit helicopter. Anyone have anybidea what this is?
Also when I first turn on my nook it makes a very high frequency sound, I think it may be related to the battery based on my experience racing electric r/c cars, any ideas?
And lastly for some reason I can't get any videos to play on it, even videos that used to work, any ideas/fixes?
Any help would be very appreciated, I love my nook so I wanna get these issues resolved as soon as I can. Thank you in advance.

It's hard to say anything without knowing:
what OS you're running
whether, how, and how much you've overclocked
what adjustments to sound output, if any, you've made in DSP Manager or Nook Tweaks
how long you were using the NC before the problem started

Cm7 nightly 132 and up
Running at 800mhz
No adjustments at all
Using it for about two months before the problems started

First, I'd say those are odd symptoms and may be indicative of a hardware fault. However, the NC has been known to have a number of audio issues, and adjusting gains in dalingrin's Nook Tweaks app (it's on the market) can address many of them.
Nightly 132 is known to have graphics acceleration issues which may be the source of your video woes. They should be addressed in the next nightly, 135, or you can roll back to an earlier version (at this point, I'd see what Nook Tweaks does for you, and otherwise just deal until 135 comes out).
Also, it may sound dumb, but play with how your headphone jack is seated. Sometimes the slightest turn or movement in or out can do wonders.
Well, I never thought I'd hear about this again...
My friend bought a NC from eBay a few weeks ago, and it had some strange problems. First, it wouldn't play any media. It would load a file and look like it's starting to play, but there would never be any audio or video. If a video file was open, we could move the slider to different parts of videos, and it would show that frame, but it would not actually play. He left it with me to fix.
That night, I found the same "8-bit helicopter" pulsing coming from the headphone jack while the Nook was plugged in to a power source. I also noticed that the top right corner on the backside was becoming very warm, much hotter than my properly functioning NC.
The Nook continued to refuse to play any media, it would not even play the intro vid of the stock ROM. Teardown pics show that the area which was producing excess heat was the audio chip. I'm guessing it fried out, which would explain all the symptoms.
That particular Nook also appeared to have been opened up previously. We assumed someone tried to hardware mod it and failed, and tried to recoup some loss.
Edit: The Nook operated normally otherwise, except massive battery drain. It would hold a charge cold off, but the battery would discharge in just hours, even while sleeping, while on.

I don't know where you got your NC, but assuming you haven't opened it up, you might try flashing back to stock and taking it into a store to see about a warranty replacement. They may just tell you to call customer service, but at least you can say you verified the problem with someone. If you've only had the thing two months, you don't want to just live with bad hardware.

same problem described in these other threads, haven't found a real solution yet. My music skips every time the phone loses signal or switches signal, has been happening to me specifically since i left froyo.
anyone know a fix? it's not the biggest deal but it gets really annoying after awhile, and doesn't seem like a problem we should be having.

Are you talking about streaming or playing from your sd card? If you are streaming then nothing is going to fix that. Streaming means you are downloading the music as it is playing so if you lose signal you lose music. You would need to find some streaming music player that would cache a significant amount of music ahead so it had something to play for a few seconds if you lose signal. If it is from your sd card, it may need reformatting or get a faster sd card.
I have this problem too.. And he's right I don't remember it being an issue in froyo. I have the stock sd card and it went through a long period of never messing up so I really wouldn't think it was that.
I've had the same issue playing music from the sd card. It sounds almost like a digital hiccup.

Most GB audio playback for me is smooth sailing compared to 2.2 and 2.1 Android, but it's unlistenable while using GPS navigation (like Google Nav), sometimes silenced for minutes at a time. And I have the guide voice muted. What about accessing data (on 3 or 4G) or GPS causes this crap? It seems like GB is more efficient about the phone's resources in all cases but this, and it's a really bad step backward from Eclair, let alone Froyo.
I've had this problem since 2.3 but when I switched to cm9 and started using the miui music player it stopped
I have this "issue" too. Playing music with 3g off to save battery, turn 3g on, and it "hiccups" for a few seconds. But once 3g is on it's fine. I also notice while downloading large files (or tethering) over 4g music "hiccups" and skips.
So it is sounding like since GB the radio when searching for signal sucks a tremendous amount of juice which we thought caused a lot of reboots on the GB leaks.

have this issue also. when I'm on my breaks at work and I'm outside (presumably on cell towers) and walk into my building (which has relays for the parts of the building that have no reception) i get a skip during the handoff, or when switching for 4g back to 3g.
during these handoffs i think the processor has to spend a moment too long making sure the phone is a phone and prioritizes being a phone above all else, like being and mp3 player.
it's worst for me when im in a part of the building that has a relay and is near a window. think it switches back and forth between the towers and building relays.
just my best non knowledge based guess.
i generally just run mp3 from my sd card.
thanks for the replies guys! i'm guessing then that there isn't an acknowledged fix yet in the community .
explosivequack, so the MIUI music player doesn't have this problem? I would love to stick with poweramp especially since i paid for it, but if miui player can do pretty much the same stuff then I might give that a try if it truly doesn't skip. thanks.
@kennyglass i'm pretty sure it isn't my SD card. i switched my stock one out for one of the fast ones a year ago, plus it never happened on froyo like the others said so i doubt that's the issue anyway.
i was hoping it was a 2.3 issue but i've been on cm9 since alphas and there's no change. I can always tell exactly when my music will skip if i'm driving on a familiar route because of the 4g deadzones.
Have you tried reverting to the EC05 modem to see if that helps? It is sounding more and more like heavy battery draw while trying to regain signal causing the skips.

I mainly use google play music because I have most of my music stored on the cloud, but for local I used to use PowerAmp which was awesome and sometimes I use Maple - it has some really cool features like pitch and speed adjustment.
but I think theres already a thread on this somewhere, in the apps section so you should probably look there
I hate how Google Play music makes it so hard just to get to the All Songs list. I think it requires at least three or four button presses, which I might be doing wrong but it's annoying to do if it really is that way.

I agree with this. I wish Google made the music app similar to those in TouchWiz or Sony xperias. Although I don't like the UI of Play Music, I'm kind of forced to use it due the N4's limited storage and Play's free song upload feature.

I personally went with power amp because the other media players annoyed me with the wrong album art work and would display the same artwork for all songs even though the artwork was completely irrelevant

Play Music + Viper4android as my equalizer. Doesn't eat a lot of battery and it makes your 10 in ear earphones sound like Hi-end headphones.
I use Google Play Music now since I subscribed to All Access. But if I was using local files I'd be using PowerAmp.
