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.

I'll try winamp thanks.
All of a sudden the netflix app just quit working right on my Nexus. I can play one episode of a Show and when I try to play the next episode it just sticks at the red loading screen but never loads the show. Then I have to clear data, log back in and play the next episode and it will work but then I have to repeat this after every episode or it will just stick on the red loading screen.
This is very annoying and I just end up watching netflix on my computer which basically defeated the purpose of purchasing my Nexus 7. I am thinking the problem is that the memory fills up too quickly and the app data on the memory needs to be cleared after each show. Does anyone have any idea or fixes for this issue?

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?

I'm getting the same here... Even with music held locally I.e. not being streamed over WiFi? Another 4.2 issue me thinks...

I get stutter when streaming music from Google Play and then accessing the network. It doesn't happen on my Nexus 4 phone.

I've noticed the same thing with the 4.2 upgrade. Wasn't happening before.
When using google play music it happens alot. Havent tried other music apps yet

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.

Why does my nexus 7 screen doesn't turn on when I'm copying a file to USB stick through otg cable?
Which app are you using to transfer files ? , I am using stick mount which works very well and transfers files in background and I am able to use device,

I have used stickmount, USB otg helper and also native otg in custom roms. while transferring files by solid explorer or root explorer once I turn off screen I can't turn it on again until the transfer is complete
I've noticed this too.
I'm not sure if is completely blocked out (until completion), or just horrendously slow responding to interrupts generated by screen touches/button presses. I seem to remember waking the screen up - after a huge delay - on a multi-minute data transfer.
While it is annoying, it really doesn't surprise me much; most modern OS'es seem like their UIs slow down to a crawl under heavy I/O pressure between slow mass storage devices.
I suppose one cruddy workaround is to turn off the screen timeout ahead of the long copy operation...

If it we're so then it would slow down even when the screen was on instead becoming unresponsive the instant screen was turned off

Yeah ... maybe. I'm not sure. In the past, I experienced difficulty in waking other android devices that had low OC minimum frequencies that would otherwise behave just fine so long as the screen stayed on. I don't know if interrupts start to stack up, or what, but I suspect that the rate governor behavior affects this, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that a screen-off condition figures into the hueristics used by some rate governors or even kernel PM (power management) code. But that's speculation - I don't know.
I guess you could look at this as a feature rather than a bug - if you are performing a long copy, tapping on the power button tells you if it is done!
I am using file manager HD which works well in copying , although there is a 1-2 second delay in unlocking screen when copying, but still it works fine

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

Using the program REGPON wifi keep alive, located in the Play Store, I'm now having disconnect free Chromecast playback. Appears it was an issue with the wifi going to sleep even though it was check marked to Always stay on in the advanced wifi settings.
Hope this helps someone else.

REGPON worked on my N3! Others in the house had trouble with their N2s.. will recommend this app to them.

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.
