I am on skydragon o2os,while listening to music my device gets warm and it drains a lot of battery, maybe the app remains continously in the background.

problem @ using WMP after 2-3 hours

Im having problem in windows media player. Its slowing down after playing 2-3 hours of music only no background applications or process.
anyone here have the same problem? or anyone here have a best solution?
i got the same problem....
i listen over a Bluetooth stereo headset and sometimes i forgot to close the player and when i want to use my phone after a hour or later and the player is minimized in the background the phone is veeery slow...
wow i have that with coreplayer too , but difference is only 5-10 minutes sometimes , sometimes more
Maybe it will help if everyone with that problem state their ROM.

Most battery efficient music player app?

I use my vibrant as my dedicated music player, preferring poweramp, however it seems to use a lot of battery. I have system monitor telling me that whilst its playing, it's using about 30-40% cpu power almost constantly.
Since I'm using voodoo sound, perhaps there is not so much need for poweramps eq or amplifier.....so wondering if there is a lightweight, low battery usage music player out there that would cause less if a drain than poweramp?
Thanks.
Miui music player.
Cube ^3. i prefer this one
While I don't find much need for it lately (I don't often go for long periods away from a power source) the app that I've found to draw less power than any other is Meridian. But I haven't done any testing of this recently, so this may have changed.
Honestly believe that the stock music player works best for battery life.
stock or miui for best battery life, so doubt.
stock is great and.it had equalizer but miui music.player ha s nice ootion to find lyrics to music u listen and dispay plus high light text of the worlds of.the song.
STOCK
I really like the stock music player.
You can mess with the EQ and it has pretty good UI and battery.
It would be much better if it had a widget as well, but oh well.
So far I have been enjoying Songbird. used it on my desktop for a while now and found the app for android and i like it. still under beta i think but its getting there.

[Q] Shuffle in Music if screen is off

Not 100% sure if this should be in Q&A or apps, but I'll take a shot...
I like using Music instead of NemoPlayer for some reason. I think it sounds better, however silly that may be. However, in shuffle mode (haven't tried it off shuffle), if the screen is off, when a song ends, it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple minutes before the next song starts playing. As soon as I unlock the screen, the next song will start.
So I have a couple questions...
1. Obviously, is anyone else experiecing the same thing? and...
2. Is there an even better app for music listening? I tried Doubletwist, and while it does have a nice interface and I like the idea of the PC app and its sync feature, it (the PC app) kept crashing on my 120gb, 24,000 song iTunes library, so I uninstalled it.
I would like to start in shuffle mode too. If it's in Music, I haven't found it. I have to start playing a song, then I can turn shuffle on.

The delay switching songs sounds like the cpu was throttled down to the point it had issues. When the screen is on, the cpu doesnt throttle down so much.
Sorry to get a bit off topic, but what is battery life like listening to music on this tablet? By listening to music, I mean exclusively listening to it, not listening, browsing, and gaming all at the same time
You can go literally days only listening to music. I last charged it Wednesday night, and still have over 70%. I did a little surfing yesterday afternoon.
Oh, and I found shuffle... at the top of the song list.
The odd thing about the pause is that it doesn't do it if I'm listening to music using NemoPlayer.
Here is a similar issue. Infortunately without solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15759232#post15759232
Hope this helps.
Siso

Audio randomly stops (youtube, browser, etc). I have to press play for it to resume.

Happens everyday (even with my S6). It'll stop when audio is playing for a bit, or after I hit the volume button. It doesn't do it constantly through out the day, but it'll happen atleast once everyday i'm listening to audio. Anyone else?
Anyone?
It is happening with my S8 either when playing games or youtube and even music.
This problem started after the software update. So i think it is a software issue..
Whenever the sound cut off, i just lock the screen and unlock it back....
Hope Samsung will release a software update as soo as possible
Games is fine for me, it's just players like YouTube, music apps, and players inside websites. Just gotta press play again. Pretty annoying, but happens atleast once a day, not constantly through out the day.
It happens to me in Youtube and NBA app when video is being played.
Sometimes the screen just shuts off completely too.
I agree it's not consistent.
To add, sound not working sometimes when i am using skype and even sometimes for my alarms.
What do you think, is it a software problem or hardware?
Seems to happen more through out the day now. It's pretty annoying.
This just started happening to me yesterday. I've tried restarting my phone, pausing the video and playing it again, turning the volume all the way down then back up. All of those things restore the sound but it'll cut out a few seconds later. Also audio plays just fine in my headphones.
I dont have my s8 yet, but this sounds like a problem I used to have on a previous galaxy s phone (i think it may have been the s4). It turned out I had a setting enabled where the player pauses or stops when I'm not looking at the screen. It's called smart pause. Could be something similar although i'm not sure.
Uggg
Same problem here. Got the s8 less than a week ago and I use spotify offline (downloaded) and Google Music for downloaded files and it always pauses after about 15 minutes, sometimes sooner. I don't use battery saver, and none of the 'smart' features are enabled. It happens with headphones, without headphones, on Bluetooth. Just pauses the song and I have to hit play again, super annoying and I can't find any fix. I'm really regretting this purchase.
I also have S8 and currently experiencing this kind of issue. Every after 1 minute of playing either youtube or videos on my phone it paused and I didn't even clicked it.
I have a problem like this on my s7edge. Then I thought it can be related third party apps. And yes when I uninstall Sputnik news app, it solves the problem.

Whatsapp audio stuttering when played on background (S8 Exynos)

Like the title says, when I have Whatsapp open on the foreground audio messages play normally; if I start to play a message and switch apps or even just go to the home screen, the audio stutters heavily and sometimes even makes cackling noises. I noticed that if I reboot the phone and immediately play Whatsapp audio on background I can get about a minute of stutter-free audio, and then it starts stuttering again. This doesn't happen with other apps, just Whatsapp.
I tried to reboot, start the audio and immediately switch to CPU-Z to try and see what's going on; I noticed is that just after reboot CPU usage hovers around 50%, and during that period the audio doesn't stutter; then CPU usage starts to fall, when it reaches like 15% the stutter begins. If I put some other app to play audio on the background, e.g. Google Play Music, I notice that CPU usage increases from idle, whereas while playing Whatsapp audio on the background CPU usage barely changes.
Conclusion: it seems that Whatsapp is being somehow throttled CPU wise while on the background.
Does anyone else has the same problem? Any clue as to how to fix it? I already tried to remove Whatsapp from the list of apps for which battery saving is allowed; nothing changed.
Thanks.
Same for me on every phone
I have the same issue on all devices, I upgraded from a pixel xl to s8+, I have the stutter issue. I need to test if an older version of whatsapp has this problem.
