[Q] Music stop playing on CM10 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have an annoying issue on the latest Quarx's CM10 (18/03). I have this problem since November I think. When I'm playing music from my SD card on any music app (usually I use Play music or PowerAMP) it stop randomly after some music when screen is off.
I think it happen because of RAM management which kill running app on IDLE to increase battery life. But I tried tweak RAM setting and it didn't change nothing.
I think I'm not the one with this issue. I'll take every idea to try to fix this.
Thank you.

Keep your app in foreground.
And if your player has notification thingy, the atk can't kill that app. I think both apps you mentioned has a notification control, SDL it can't be memory management!

Thank you for your reply.
I can keep the app in foreground but it take approximately 30-45mo of RAM so my phone will become very laggy.
I think you're right when you say it can't kill the app because of the notification. But I think android system kill an other background service which is necessary to the music be played correctly. I'll trying to investigate when I'll have more time.
I have an other app called Deezer (French Spotify service). This app never stop or less frequently. I think it's because it use it own decode system (music file are encrypted on the server or memory card). The app don't use external services to decode music so the app continue playing after hours.
Btw I find strange that I'm the only one to complain about this. I will make a clean install in some day.

AW: [Q] Music stop playing on CM10
Hi, you test supercharger script? With this you can look apps in memory or under general I saw a post how to look apps in memory.

Yes in know how to do it. But if I lock music player in memory, it will take about 40mo all the time. My Defy will become very laggy.

Hi Husi10,
I have the same issue as you about music playback.
My problem is the following :
When I'm using Deezer app with CM10 or CM10.1, music playback is frequently laggy (always in the very begenning of the tracks) and sometimes it stops playing in some unknown situations (as you described on this thread).
This issue doesn't occur on CM7.
Did you, as me, notice this playback lags in the begenning of the tracks ?
Did you find a fix or a workaround for this issue on CM10.x since March (date of your post) ?
Thanks

Hi,
Yeah, music playback on Deezer's app is laggy in the beginning of every track. I think there's no workaround because it's a bug with the app itself. It happens also with my tablet (Nexus 10). But playback never stop by itself.
After my post, I did a clean install (wipe data) and also format my SD card. It helped a lot, I never experimented this kind of bug again.

Thanks for your reply.
In my experience, music lags issue only occur in CM10.x. Did you already test Deezer on CM7 ?
[EDIT] So, do you think that Deezer is buggy like this only since Android 4.1 ?
On which ROM your Nexus 10 runs ?

My Nexus 10 runs on AOKP (4.2.2). I think it's an issue with Deezer itself, whatever the rom.

OK, did you already try Deezer with stock ROM on your Nexus 10 ? If yes, same lags ?

Yes, there are lags at the beginning of each songs.

Hi,
I'm just (re)testing Deezer on my Defy running Quarx CM10.1 build (2013-06-26).
I've changed I/O scheduler to "cfq" (before my change, it was "sio") and it seems to work better, I don't notice lags at the beginning of each songs for the moment. :fingers-crossed:
Is it the same for you ? Could you test it in order to confirm my potential finding ?
Thanks

Oh yeah that's really better with cfq scheduler. Thank you for the tips.

After one more day of tests with cfq i/o scheduler, I've noticed that lags at the beginning of a song still occur BUT only after launching Deezer and only with the first song. The next songs playback is smooth.

UPDATE: Well, now it's no longer 'leaked' and is a beta on the market if you want it. Google Music Beta accounts are currently US-only.
Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?...ic&rdid=com.google.android.music&rdot=1&pli=1

A new Android Music player that mimics the version seen on Honeycomb is leaked. It works flawlessly on my Optimus One P500 CM7b5. Download the .apk and use your favourite file manager to install it.
Screenshots attached.
Note: Most of the settings are disabled as this is not a final release. But things to expect are:
Settings (disabled currently):
- Sync with Google Account(?)
- Hide unavailable music
- Cache Music
- Stream music
- Download music
- Download queue

That is the icon of the app. Looks slicker than the other stock Music apps. I'm excited about Google Cloud Music.
Works on void #echo. Not sure if "flawlessly" or not but the normal functions can be used. Still playing with it.
Edit: it still feels a bit laggy. None of my album covers were displayed (they were displayed fine in other players like stock and PowerAmp).

The sync with Google thing is them having a cloud for our music got a leaked one on the NookColor (worked more but still broken) and there was an option in accounts to sync music to steam later.
That is if the question mark meant you didn't know Features have kinda been promised for a while.

Read about it. Now I know.
was expecting abit more from it , doesnt seem to be changed all that much .. unless they where just planning to update the 2 one with google sync
looks ok for a basic player
Works ok on 2.2.2 V10Q rooted. It's lagging a bit but looks pretty. Much better than the stock one. Thank you
Its on the market its in beta it's ok needs more options and of you use a album cover finder it won't recognize the album covers I dont understand why no one can make a good music player that doesn't suck up to much memory and turn on by itself and also a cool interface like the way you change albums on the iphone I know this one has something like that but it's only for recent and with no album covers I hate it
LG-P500 using XDA Premium App running CM7, ungaze data2sd, over clocked at 787 quadrant score 2100
Working good on openOptimus 1.148,it's integrated in rom
well I miss the ease of clicking the album art on the "Now Playing" screen to get back to my music, instead of clicking the headphones in the top left(Unless i'm missing something obvious here?)
And i'd continue using it if it had a widget.
Nice interface, but no equaliser, which for me means, right to trash. I still prefer PlayerPro :/
gonna try it out
YES!!!!!!
Yo man thanx alot lol this is amazing and with the CM7 mod on my optimus that lets u eq my cell phone music experience is alot better lol.
amazing ty bro!!!!!!!!

ICS GENERAL- For discussion on the ICS update

I've been on the beta since it was released and the official release for 24 hours and have had the following issues so far:
Sometimes when I take a picture I'll get duplicate images in both Gallery apps.
Sometimes touch controls in games like Angry Birds simply stop working. Sometimes a reboot will fix it, sometimes I need to power on and off. This is unacceptable IMHO.
Does anyone have any more they want to discuss? The issue with the touch controls may force me back to GB.
videocamera is l lilbit laggy
soundquality in videocamera is very low!
battery drains fast!

Please use the Search button! This thread is about ICS bugs.
The phone app is really heavy to load and the number search is laggy and slow!
Videocamera is slow and a bit laggy, i hope that someone could solve this
I checked some video details, before and after the system upgrade:
Gingerbread Videocamera: video: 29 fps audio 128 Kbs STEREO
ICS Videocamera: video : 28 or less fps audio 128 kbs MONO
Why this quality downgrade!?!?!?! Ehat's next? 3 Mpx photo?!
Videocamera might seem laggy but resulting videos are fine.
The real bug is 2D acceleration which is most obvious when dragging down notifications bar and scrolling in the app drawer. It is also noticeable in 2D games. For example, I get 59-63 FPS in GB while on ICS only 46-50 FPS.

No no, the video quality is the same, but the audio is worse!! Check yours video specs.
VPN PPTP-VPN:
I can connect to my VPN router but it is impossible to disconnect. Disable data or wifi is the only way to close the connection. Can anyone confirm this?
Some lags can be reduced if you install Sony S launcher .apk

Only thing I really hate, is that many games are impossible to play because of the "touch lag". For example Age of Zombies; I can't get past the main menu, because if I press "play", it won't register my touch. This happens in most of my games.

Game itself works quite normal sometimes, but the menu lags. It's not because of performance issues because some heavy 3d games work smooth.
someone can poste a sample video from the camera to see these lags ?
The lag problem (not so lag), could be solved diabling the video stabilizer. The real question is why the audio before the update was STEREO and now is MONO!!
Temple Run is another good example. Touch controls aren't recognized correctly in both the game and the game menus.

But it still sucks.
I've rebooted my device 3 times already today because Frisbee and Angry Birds wouldn't recognise any touches at all.

Songs stop playing suddenly.

Hello all my Nexus 4 stops playing a song sometimes and when I turn on the screen it "flickers" a lot also I am using a Lockscreen Pattern for security... when the song stops it would change to camera to music app in the lockscreen I really don't know how to explain it.. also I am using Poweramp and sometimes Google Play Music both have the same problem...
I am running 4.2.2 jelly bean anyone know how to fix this? also the screen will not respond...
I have a screenshot of it...
Its something like this..... thank you
Stock Jellybean on the N4, or a custom rom jellybean?
Were you able to get a logcat when it happens, might help some rom devs figure out why it's doing it. (if I had to make a guess, I'd say some kind of wake lock issue, but you'd think google play music would know better)

That is weird, guess you'll just need to pre-suffle a playlist I guess.
I used to get the visual glitches too until I installed dashclock with the music extension. Annoyingly it doesn't actually provide play/pause/skip functionality but it gets rid of the glitches and that's good enough for me since my headphones allow the rest. I never had the random stopping issue though. At least you've found a decent solution for now.

Solution For Audio Glitches

After a lot of research about that KitKat 4.4.2 bug i found the cause of the problem. The audio glitching bug is because of hotplugging of the cpu cores. A common bug, as someone told at Xperia Z forum section. To fix this, disable mp decision through Trickster MOD (Search for it at Play Store). This should fix it. But this also means your cpu no longer shuts off cores when not needed. But it shouldn't affect your battery usage much... At Trickster MOD the Mp Decision is located at "Specific" tab. You ONLY need root to make it work!!! Tested by me!
You can re-enable MusicFX and Sound Enhancement without problem now
P.S. If you restart your tablet you have to disable Mp Decision again cause it will return to the default value.
For me, it doesn't work

Do you have .FLAC music files in your tablet?? Cause the dropouts/music skipping is caused by KitKat native FLAC decoder... You can try to download the PlayerPro music player from Play Store. After install, go to Settings->Audio->Download DSP pack. Install the pack from Play Store, run the installed application and then follow the simple instructions at the second tab (swipe left). Hope it works!!!!
Thanks man! Now it works perfectly

If files are in .FLAC format then there is an issue with FLAC decoder. Check the post #3 above!!
I found the root cause of my problem. It is related to my /etc/hosts file (~10MB). I guess it is too large (mooab)

How to keep Music player in memory?

Simple it sounds. But it isnt. How do i keep music player app in memory. (or you can suggest an music app with keep in memory option). The problem is that when I open clash of clans(COC). Music player gets flushed from the ram and music stops. i am searching for a workaround or solution so that music keep on playing without any problem.
Locking in recent also doesnt helps as when android goes to flushing ram for COC it doesnt looks whats locked or not.
Please suggest.
M using Redmi 2 1 Gb version running MIUI 7.
Dont want to install any custom ROM as it would not have MIUI camera, which is the USP for this phone .. (or you can suggest me a port for MIUI camera on any custom rom)
Thanks
