Has anyone else tried this? I've tried it but I've noticed that it only shows ever 20 seconds or so then sits there until the next 20 seconds. Essentially, I'll start streaming live and the first few seconds of the video will show then it freezes. Once the timer on the camera reaches around 20-22 seconds, the live feed video will kinda fast-forward/skip to the 20-22 second mark and freeze again until around the 40-42 second mark. Anyone else experiencing this?
The regular recording videos and sharing them is fine but the live feed just flat doesn't work.
I'm also having trouble getting live streaming to work. I thought it was a network speed problem but it even does it over wifi.

I tried 3G, 4G, and wifi all with the same results.
bump; anyone find a fix or better app for this?
I have not tried it yet, but you could try Ustream (http://www.ustream.tv/). It has an app for streaming via your phone in Android Market.

It wasn't happenin for me...
Does anyone else who uses PowerAmp have problems with playback hiccups? Doesn't do it all the time, but quite often. Especially likes to do it at about 2-3 seconds after a song starts when you'd skipped to a new track.
I use it regularly and don't have any problems with it.
I use it often also and have no problems.
Are you running on Froyo? I'm still on eclair if that makes a difference. I love Poweramp but the hiccups make it annoying enough to be unusable. Doesn't do it all the time and there aren't any problems with the stock music player.

I am stock. Maybe stupid question but have you updated to latest version? I saw something in the change log about fixing skipping.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah it says to adjust the audio buffer size if you have skipping. Although I have been using it since the first version came out and have never had a skipping problem. But give that a try and see if that works.

I'm rooted stock. Tried messsing with the buffer setting and still does it. Must be another app that is messing with it. Got the latest version.

Rooted stock also. Does it happen both on wifi and 3g/4g? Headphones, bluetooth and phone speaker? What audio format? I am all mp3 of various bitrates 128 and above. Sorry for so many questions just trying to help figuring it out.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No 4g here, but does it over both wifi and 3G. All are mp3's of different bitrates, mostly 192-320kbps. It won't do it on all tracks and sometime not even the same track if I replay it, but most commonly in that 2-4 seconds in but will do it in the middle of the song at times. I uninstalled last.fm thinking it's scrobbling might be the culprit (even though I had it turned off) but still no help. The only other audio apps I have is Pandora, Tunein Radio and Audiogalaxy. Might try uninstalling those too to see if that fixes it.

It's Android, I think. I expected better audio performance and got it compared to my old Touch Pro, due to better hardware and software. But the thing is I expect every audio player, even the stock ones, will do this sometimes, and my non-expert observations tell me that it's simply other phone processes interfering in memory and CPU. So with the right tools, I'd focus on IDing what those are, if that's possible.

I have pandora and tune in also so I don't think those would be a problem. Like the post above me said try and eliminate all processes one at a time to see if you can find the problem.

Did a factory reset and still does it. Doesn't appear to be just PowerAmp though as I tried using the stock player for a while and found it will do it sometimes as well. I'm guessing at this point it must be an issue with the SD card.
Damn that sucks. Sorry to hear that.

I have the same problem. I've tried 3 different roms (including stock eclair) and it still shutters.

I know exactly what it is. Whenever you lose 3G signal, any media playing with mute for approx 1 second. And when the signal returns, same thing. It's very annoying if you're listening to music in a dead area (I tend to listen to mine while I'm at work) and it sometimes cuts off during music, but only for about a second.
check and see your signal strength when you're listening to it and see if you're losing signal (via status bar) during these "skips".

That may explain the random ones that happen in the middle of a song. The ones that were occuring at the beginning of almost every song were what was driving me up the wall the most. I ended up reformatting my SDcard and it seems to have taken care of that problem. Still getting an occasional random one, but I get a really weak signal here at work, so I'll have to test it some more at home. I think you are dead on about it being a "mute" and not an actual skip of the song.
It's just annoying when a high end phone like this can't even play music back as well as some dumb feature phones. Maybe's it's an Android problem and not an Epic one in particular as I've seen some EVO posts of people experiencing the same thing.
Oh, and if I try to mess around on the internet through the browser it tears it up bad. Can't be simply the data connection because using apps like XDA and other apps that access the internet don't affect it at all, just the stock web browser.
Well I found something interesting that really affects it, screen brightness. I usually have my screen brightness set to manual and on the lowest setting. Right before this started happening I switched it to Auto and left it there since. Since the browser brightness has it's own setting switching back and forth really messed with it. Once I turned it back to manual and set both the browser and phone to low it rarely does it if at all, even while browsing. When I turned the browser setting back to high, then as soon as I click a link and it starts downloading it acts up. Weird. Seems like now it must be a power consumption issue as well if it's more likely to do it when the screen is brighter.

That doesn't seem to be caps problem because he said it does the same thing on wifi. Although I am assuming that there is a strong wifi signal.

Been listening for the past hour with the brightness down and on manual and it's worked almost flawlessly.
Whenever I'm listening to music on my Atrix I get terrible cut outs and slow buffering. I've tried using the stock music app, the one from Google on the marketplace, power amp, and the one on CM7. I messed with the buffer settings in power amp and none of them helped. I've also tried playing the music from my internal SD and my external class 4 SD. The external was worse so I stopped using it. The music app from CM7 seems to have the least amount of problems for me, but its still there. Does anyone else have this issue or know what's causing it?

Had the same issues with the stock app. In fact, it wouldn't even play anything on a couple occasions. Had to reboot to get it to work.
I switched to Winamp and its been alot better.

When I play music on my nexus 7 while multi-tasking, the music stutters. Spurts
Thid problem is unbearable when I use the neutron music app.
It happens not as much on the play music app, but still happens.
The system as a whole also lags considerably when running music with the neutron music app.
I'm running 4.2
Anyone had this problem?

Anybody knows how to fix it?
Same problem with power amp (pa. 4.2).
Got a nexus 7 that shipped with 4.2 and had the same issue (music suddenly stuttering even without doing anything).
For now I seem to have gooten rid of the issue by doing a "wipe cache partition" in the recovery console (google for it).
The only thing which is left: if some heavy fullscreen animation is playing (i.e. returning to home screen or opening an app) the music _sometimes_ gets a little distorted (< 1 sec) but at least isn't interrupted.

Thanks a lot, that actually works (wipe cache and dalvik in recovery)
Btw it works with bluetooth headphones
It happened to me once or twice so I installed AVG Antivirus and GO Taskmanager then kept cleaning RAM regularly then the glitch got fixed somehow.
Here we go again...
This is driving me nuts...
Using my Nexus 7 the past few days, the music lags/distortions slowly reappeared.
I tried to pay attention when they happen. So far I noticed most of them while:
Opening a new tab in Chrome, switching between apps (fullscreen animation), having heavy disk I/O (i.e. installing/uninstalling apps). But sometimes they just appear out of nowhere, even when not doing anything at all, though.
Here's a collection of things I tried so far to eliminate the issue:
- Cache partition wipe: like mentioned helped at first but soon the issue reappeared.
I also wiped the cache partition again yesterday and the issue actually got worse afterwards this time...
- Keeping RAM clean: tried numerous apps to close unnecessary background apps and free RAM. Seems to reduce the issue a bit.
- Turning off 'click' sounds: in the sound menu there's a toggle for sounds when touching the screen (i.e. clicking on an element within an app). Turning it off actually helped a bit, because the music lags at least won't happen at times when the click sound would be played, anymore. (Which happened often to me before)
- Using Poweramp: this music player app allows you to increase the audio engine's buffer size and process priority. I tried tweaking these settings to no avail. It seemed fine at first but the lags reappeared quickly despite having increased process priority and buffer size. Other third-party players I tried have the same lag issue as well.
I looked around the net and also through the Android bug tracker. Despite of this thread I rarely found any related report so I begin to wonder if other Nexus 7 owners aren't noticing or simply ignoring this issue or if my device is faulty.
I somehow doubt the latter though, because everything else is mostly completely smooth including video playback, Android GUI, scrolling in Chrome etc.
To me it seems more like a multithreading issue (which would be ridiculous having a quad-core processor) or a memory/disk access bottleneck.
I have this issue too, though it's like a 100ms stutter or something quick. I'm using headphones with no issues on desktop or Galaxy Nexus. I've noticed it the most in Netflix and YouTube, but also get it in Google Music and Pandora.
I get it also, even just listening when everything else is idle. It makes me afraid that a device has *more* processing power than my Gnex plays music worse than it. The Gnex is just about flawless with music and multitasking.

A friend of mine is also having this issue on d2vzw (Verizon Galaxy S III) on cm 10.1 and not 10. I will check back here now and then and see if anyone has come up with anything and any updates on his side.

Wife and I both have Note 3's. My Note 3 makes it through about 1 or 2 songs and then disconnects from the Chromecast. This causes all music to stop playing and the Google Play Music app on the tv to return to the headphone start screen. I've compared all types of phone settings, wifi, etc between wife's phone and mine. I even did a factory reset on my phone, no change. My son's S3 has no issues, our Note 2's had no issues, only my N3.
Anyone else having these issues? More importantly know how to fix the Chromecast disconnect. Thx.

This may or may not work but in an old phone I had a similar issue with pandora. Hopefully this works but if you have an option for streaming for high quality, turn that on, then reset your phone right after and start the program and see if it works. Ib know it sounds completely illogical but it worked on that phone with pandora, maybe it will work with this

This helped my problem on the Nexus 7. It's such an odd thing that I need to use this though.
This problem is happening when I cast Netflix from Chrome on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite). Its incredibly annoying.

I've got a oneplus one running CM os 12. With Google play music this was the only solution that worked and I also had the wifi set to not sleep. Interesting, never saw any other signs of wifi going to sleep. It will be interesting to see if the battery usage is affected. I'm guessing it wont be.
Thanks a ton for saving the day. Really enjoying play music now.
