I am regretting that I updated to Froyo from sprint because now when I open up an App that involves music a few things happen. First if I open slacker and close it when I'm done then later in the day use the mp3 player app (stock/or from market) slacker will start while the mp3 playing and vice versa. Another thing that really grinds my gears, is that when using the mp3 player (stock or after market) The song will speed up really fast and go through 4 songs in like 15 seconds. This is really flustering me because I want to sell my Itouch because I have this phone but know I am not sure if i really wanna do that. Any suggestions or should I just do a little searching and root 2.2 so I can flash a different version a 2.2 that you guys have provided?
Thanks in advance,

P.s. If someone already reported this issue sorry I tried searching before posting but did not find it.

firstly - check the sticky at the top of this section. There is no way to root 2.2 yet.
Having said that, I don't think what your describing is normal, even for stock froyo. If you're still within your 30 days, you might want to think about trying to exchange it.

So. I remember back when froyo was first announced, they mentioned ota streaming from itunes but i havent yet seen that on any froyo build and i have really been hoping to. Does anyone know what happened or if its still a go? I cant be the only one who has way to much music to fit on their phone and would rather it stay all a comp leaving you gigs of extra space
If this has been mentioned before im sorry, i did search lol
I know it isn't much help, but there's two articles here about it ( pretty much the same info ).
Android 2.2 Froyo gets remote app installs & iTunes streaming
Android 2.2 (Froyo) gets OTA apps and iTunes streaming
They don't really go into specifics, but they do mention the one-click app installs that we haven't seen yet either. Hopefully once FroYo starts official rolling out, we'll see both these features ( although the AppBrain install is still great =] ).
i started a thread about this same feature a while back and was met with a pretty good response. turns out theres already a program on the market called "mspot" which u make a account down load the program on your computer and then the app on your phone. the service is free for the first 2.0 gb which should be enough for some decent music. you should look it up iv been using it for the past few weeks and its been amazing. its like having your itunes library on your phone!
i thought they pushed that feature to gingerbread?
Hey guys any of you use pandora? If so do you use the widget? I had plenty of android devices prior to the g2 (eris, droid 1, cliq, nexus one, hd2 on android) and all of them had the widget to put on one of the home screens. With the g2 however I cannot find it!? I did send an email to the dev but I wanted to see if any of you can see the widget.
Thanks for your help.

It's because you have Pandora installed to your SD card. For the widget to appear you have to have it installed on the phone. You can't just move it to the phone from the SD card. You need to uninstall it then reinstall it so it installs onto the phone for the ability to see the widget.
That did the trick thanks!

I realize that this is a completely useless response, but the Panodra widget shows up on my G2 in the exact same manner as it did on my G1. Long press, widgets and scroll down and hit the Pandora icon and there it is..... Wish I could help more, but that's all I got.
EDIT.... good God I'm slow.... and now it's making me wait 5 minutes to add this edit....
My Pandora sounded like crap so I un-installed it. I like Slacker better anyways...lol
I agree Pandora does sound like crap especially compared to last.fm but last.fm won't play an entire song without skipping to the next! What's the deal with that?
Seems you guys pandora sounds bad but I play it through earbuds and I can't complain. Maybe I'm deaf.

Pandora sounding bad is an issue with Android 2.2 Froyo and the AAC+ audio.. will hopefully be fixed in a future OTA.
Info here:
http://blog.pandora.com/faq/contents/10002.html
Also make sure you go to pandora preferences and set the audio quality to high. Its on low by default.
I started a thread like this on the other Sub-Forum for the G2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8596795#post8596795
I e-mailed both HTC and Pandora and all they do is point fingers at each other.
I really hope a fix is in the works. I'm gonna email HTC again and let them now what the Pandora rep told me by e-mail.

Slacker is way better than Pandora. Just saying. Try it!
Hello All,
I have been using the CM6 Nightlies for GSM Desire for a while now and it's been great except for the music app.
When I play music, the entire system will lag to a crawl. If I decide to use the browser, the system would either lock up and I'd need to pull out the battery or the entire phone would reboot.
I really think this is because of the music app. My question is, has anyone experienced this and fixed it by replacing the music app with something stock or anything from the market? Will changing the music.apk from a different ROM like MIUI work? By the way, I have used Winamp and it seemed to fix it but in the latest nightly the lagging has returned even with Winamp.
Not posting in the Dev forum because it specifically says not to post bugs there so maybe someone here might have answers.

Hello Guys, 1st post. I attempted a search but to be honest it didn't do much for me.
Last night I watched QBKing77's video on how to root without a computer, feeling confident I could successfully root based on the instructions. I obtained all the files and apps I needed only to find that Gingerbreak isn't compatible with ei22. Is there a never version that is? Where would I find this?
Also I will tack this on to eliminate clutter on the boards, I have recently started to have a problem with the stock music player, it skips on playback from time to time, like a cd that is scratched would. It happens even if the music player is the only running program. It just started doing this, the past few days, why do you think that is? How can I fix it? Do you need more details to give me an answer?
Thanks guys
Do you have a computer by any chance? You don't need a computer to be on ei22. To root is very easy now. As far as your audio playback, download a different music app in the market.

I have a mac, will that present any problems?
Ooh, yeah...macs don't get along with linux systems. I believe there is a clockwork mod 5 coming very soon that will help with the mac users somehow, but if a macs all you have for now, I would borrow a friends pc.

Thats what I figured, thanks for the help.
I have read with great plasure about the rooting and installation of custom roms on the One X. As a previous user of the HD2, the modding community kept that device alive for months and gave me the experience of installing and using custom roms.
As such, as soon as I'd had enough of the gaudy sense screen and couldn't be bothered to simply slap another launcher on the phone i rooted it with glee and am now running any one of 3 roms (greatly mood dependent)
I have run into 1 significant issue, and i'm sure its a relatively quick fix, however my post count is precluding me from posting in the relevant thread, so rather than being a moron and simply spamming my way to 10 posts, I thought I would ask in the help forum. Never know, someone may have superior searching skills (My 2 hours searching have yielded disappointing results) and be able to give me the information to correct the issue...
When using Navigation and listening to music via Bluetooth which I do on a regular basis while in the car, normally, on all but 1 ROM (My favourite out of the 3 I use) the music cuts for a second, the voice tells me what direction to drive in, and then the music cuts back in again. The ROM in question in the Eragon Rom. Blade Elite and Sentinel all work fine and dandy, but the one I like most, due to its brilliant battery life and good looks, does the one thing that means I cannot use it. I have a feeling its due to the way in which the music player works, it doesn't show up in the task-bar area when its playing.
Is there someway to change the default program for playing music via Bluetooth? Is there a way to fix this issue that anyone can think of, and no I don't want to just use another ROM, I'm a very stubborn person and like what I like...
Thanks in advance for any replies, I am aware of my noobiness and simply wish to learn...

install another music player, we are not allowed to tell you which one as this is not allowed on the forums which is probably why you could not find the info you require( comparisons are not fair to other devs ). best just to try a few and decide which one suits your purpose the best.
