Hi,
I'm sure I can find settings to regulate timeouts of programs. Lately I gave PowerAmp a try, very neat music player, but when my screen times out PowerAmp does aswell after 5 - 15 mins. First, the program was in my "force close" list in my task manager. I took it out but it still closes.
Somebody?
My phone had the same problem,
took me ages to find out what was wrong - all those google searches paid off tho!
just go to:
Settings > Applications > Running Services
and then delete the original Connecting Music player service...
and if that still doesnt work,
deleting the google listen service may do the trick
let me know if it works
I haven't had the bug for a while but this is a good clue. Thank you so far, I will update here once I tried it out.
Hello,
I'm actually facing the same problem, no matter the player I'm using, the music shut down a few minutes after the screen goes dark.
How do you managed to get rid of the "Connecting music player"??? (called "Lecteur de musique connecté" in my french phone)
I found it in the Settings > Applications > Running Services
but I can't uninstall it (button is disabled).
Please help, thank you
Hi,
well I have not been playing music with PowerAMP lately. But to get rid, or better freeze the program, I guess Titanium Backup would do the job. Why don't you try it out to freeze the native music player with it.
Thank you for your response.
Titanium backup needs my phone to be rooted, so I opened z4root and use the temporary root. A few minutes later, white screen and then it says "temporary root applied. You are now rooted until your next reboot"
I ran Titanium backup which said again that my phone is'nt rooted or that busyBox is'nt installed, but it is.
So, I ran busybox (1.17.1) which says that the phone is'nt rooted too.
So it seems to me that I screwed up with z4root but how?
I don't want to be permanently rooted.
(I will look for an answer on this forum as well)
Thank you
I was having trouble with all the music players crashing as well. I rooted, froze (with Titanium Backup) the Connected Music Player (and other motoblur stuff) and I don't think I've had any trouble ever since with my preference - Cubed player.
goldensgui: I saw somewhere else on these forums that temp root doesn't really work for MM2 - but you can unroot your phone anytime - I do have the option to undo the permanent root (not sure if it works [correctly])
Well, thank you dymonaz, I've followed your advice and rooted my MS2.
I had to root it twice because the first try froze my phone (I waited more than 30 minutes staring at the rolling icon ^^) and I reboot it
The second try was a success (only 2 minutes)
Then, I had no problem with Titanium Backup.
I froze the "Connecting music player" with it and a few motorola's stuff like TV channels etc.
But this didn't solve my problem. I restart my phone (who know's), but no change. So I uninstall and reinstall my player for the nth time and this time IT WORKED and I'm currently using it.
I hope it will last.
Thank you all for your help
I'm afraid I was wrong The fact that it didn't crash for almost two weeks after rooting/disabling motobloat didn't solve the problem, as it crashed again, with the same issue as I was having before:
AudioHardwareMot(1110): AudioStreamOutMot: standby called
AudioHardwareMot(1110): Output 0x12480 entering standby
AudioHardwareMot(1110): Closing Output device

Go figure
It really sucks.
It does'nt work anymore and I don't now why.
Frustrating
dymonaz, how did you manage to get this log?
I was using OSMonitor (from the Market) - it has a log viewer.
It requires a lot of scrolling to find these messages, but after reviewing all the other messages for around a few minutes before and after the crash, there was nothing else that made sense to be the cause, so I ruled them out and figured these are the ones...
I have no idea who "called the standby" or why, but there's a very poorly documented standby() method AudioHardwareInterface in Android source code. Didn't have time to dig deeper yet.
I found that, whatever the player I'm using, every time it shuts down.
02:07:07.100 Kill com.maxmpz.audioplayer (pid 5555): provider com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider in dying process android.process.media
Does someone have an idea?
Do you guys put the gallery in the auto-kill list in task manager?
I read a post from other forum long time before, I remember they found out that excluding gallery from auto-kill list would work!
I personally tried to put gallery into auto-kill list before(I forget it will shut down the music player). after I exclude it, the music player never stop unexpectedly again
have a try!
I've got the same problem and thats so bad.. -,-
You were right about the gallery put in auto-kill list, WongJames.
I came with the same conclusion removing one by one the applications in the list.
And it appears that the gallery shares the same provider with the music player.
Sorry about the delay and thank you.
(One new weird thing is that gmail doesn't sync anymore since my player is back)
i didn't understand one thing: i have to put the gallery.apk into the black-list (of which program?) or put it out the black-list?

DO NOT put the stock gallery into auto-end list of ANY task manager/ task killer
And I found out one thing, freezing the stock gallery in titanium backup would not shut down the music player
I used to use Quickpic, so stock gallery is useless to me
I must say that ever since I upgraded with the 2.2.2 SBF, I haven't had a single crash.
I do have all the crapware frozen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11180030&postcount=17
Good to hear that. At least Moto fixed that.

Thank you WongJames, this is my first post in this forum, and the don't-auto-kill gallery-advice actually works for my MM2
Hey guys,
Besides "Force Close" how do you close the stock music player?
On my Telus Milestone I can go into the built in Froyo Task Manager on that phone and close out the music player, but on the Atrix I don't see how to do so. If needed are there any 3rd party apps that can get the job done?
I'm really not a fan of pauing and leaving the music player open, heck even Pandora has an "exit" setting built into the app.
(Yes I know that task managers are bad *blah blah blah* but there's gotta be a fix for this)
Any ideas?...
Just pause it and hit home...
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

There's gotta be a better way.
Heck I could do this on my Desire, and Galaxy S...
There's a task manager built into the Atrix. It's aptly named, "Task Manager." Just check your app drawer. You can choose to "End Application" from there.
Alternatively, change your launcher to Go Launcher Ex and there will be a "Running" tab in your app drawer. Clicking on apps in that tab will allow you to close the app, among other things.

That's the thing that's really weird.
When the music player is running and you go into the "Atrix" Task Manager it shows the music player as "Not running" so you can't close it. If I use the music player on either my Froyo Milestone or my Froyo Galaxy S then "Both" of their Task Managers can shut it down.
Also when I use "Go Launcher EX" on the Atrix, it shows the music player as a running app, but it won't let you close it. When you try to close it, the app still sits there.
Somebody else try this and please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if you get it working, because that seems too buggy IMO.
The only way for now that I can stop the music player on my Atrix is by "Forcing it to stop" but there's gotta be a better way?...
Anyone?...

Hello, i have a little problem with the aps on my phone. After i open one of them, lets say gmail or mail or setting and close it(i mean using an app killer but not force quit)it starts again after some seconds. How can i stop this behavior? I don't mean startup apps, just regular apps that reopen after closed.
My problem are not the apps that start at boot, but the ones tht reopen after i close them. Like facebook app, in advanced task killer i close it but after few seconds it runs again. Here is my problem.

Ya that happens....you mean to say they show up in the advanced task killer rite??
it is basically those apps which mostly have auto sync running in the background...
So if i turn off auto sync, during no internet connection, those apps should not start again?

Hi all
I have been using froyo in my G3 (JPM version) with no problem. I installed go launcher ex and it worked perfect. But once i moved google maps into the main desk, and i used gps to get my ubication the mobile started to do strange things.
Google maps crash all the time, and then other applications start crashing as well.
I rebooted my mobile but while it was starting, google apps start crashing like calendar or gmail. I unistalled "go launcher ex" and i thought the problem was solved... but yesterday i got the same problem... Sometimes i can start the apps but suddently all apps start crashing and i cannot open any of them so i need to reboot the mobile again.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Maby your phone cache is full. You could try 1tab cleaner (free). I had the same. After cleaning the cache is doesn't happen again.
Thanks mate.
I hope it works.
Hi there,
I recently rooted my Galaxy S4 as I was sick of all the bloatware and the stock media player always playing instead of Play Music, so I was uninstalling a bunch of apps that I didn't think were necessary, including one called vouchercloud. Now every 10-30 minutes or so, my phone freezes for about 10 seconds and gives me a "Unfortunately, com.vouchercloud.android has stopped" error. I deleted the app, so I don't know how it could stop, but does anyone know of how to stop it from doing this? If there is some other app that keeps trying to open vouchercloud, or I didn't delete all components of the app?
Thanks for your help
