App for music for JB? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I installed JB, and my powerAMP stopped working when the screen is off. I have audio books that ends in .m4b, and I need an app that will play it when the screen is off, and will automatically keep track of where you leave off instead of starting back from the beginning each time you open the app.

Google Music Issues

Anyone else on the beta notice that it just loops the song you play forever incrementing the counter?

I have this issue. I have read a number of other forums and it seems to be a common problem. I keep hoping for an update to fix it. Got to love beta software, lol

Yeah, it happens to me too.
I've been checking and it seems like it happens when I try to play songs that are not pinned or cached over 3G.
If the songs are pinned or cached, it doesn't happen and if I am playing over Wifi it doesn't happen

Are you linked up to your account? Within Google Music hit the menu button and go to settings. There it should ask you if you want to use your current google account for music or not. If that doesn't work, go to Settings>Apps>Manage Apps. Scroll to 'Music', hit it, and click 'Clear Data' and start over. There's some weird bugs in this app but thankfully they aren't any deal breakers yet.
As for the OP, I have the same problem as well, but it always seems to happen with the first song played (if it does happen) or a song that is freshly streams. Other then a few minor things, so far so good

Unmount and Mount the SD Card
Make Sure Wifi is on
Restart Your Phone
Open Music
If it still doesn't work, download google plus from the market and repeat the steps above. Some times (For some people including me) for some odd reason you have to log into a google service or download a google appp for the first time and then reboot for the software to recognize the phone. (Silly)

[Q] Keep screen from timing out

Is there any way to keep the screen on with certain apps (Specifically Google Maps) without timing out / switching off.
I used to use Keepscreen but that does not seem to work on ICS.
TIA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400215
Thanks for pointing me to the thread. Unfortunately no solution there either. I only see apps to keep the screen on but not on a per app basis.
Keepscreen was a really great tool. It's app specific so can have it automatically keep the screen on when gmaps is running without having to first launch it / switch it off . Unfortunately the developer appears to have abandoned it as it has not been updated since 2009.
This should really be an option on Gmaps.
Tasker works for this just set it to keep the screen on if a certain app is on.

Thanks.. Tasker shows as not compatible with the gnex on android market. Have you tried it and it works? Want to be sure before spending $6+
I actually used titanium backup to restore it from a previous phone :/

Music stops playing

Hi there,
I've got an annoying issue with my S3 with any player I use. The music stops playing at some point. It could be either after 3 min or 27 min with headset plugged in or not.
I've checked everywhere and 've seen a lot of people with the same problem but none of them has a proper fix.
I am running stock JB, Canadian Bell version, no root, no flash or any of these.
I didn't activate any motion option or fancy way to stop the player. When I receive a notification of all kind while listening, the player just stops for half a sec and then resume, I believe it is the way it should work.
I would much appreciate some help coz it drives me crazy.
By the way, happy new Year!

I have had a similar problem with my phone ever since I switched to JB. My problem was that once the screen turned off, the player would stop, or stop once the song ends and not start the next song. I did not have this problem with ICS.
For me, I was able to fix it by going into the music app setting and unchecking the box for the screen automatically turning off during music play. However, if I turn the screen off manually the music will stop again either right away or at the end of the song. For now I'm OK just leaving the screen on since I charge the phone when I'm streaming music in the car.
Idk if this will help you or not.

had a friend that was using go locker, when the phone fell to sleep, within a few minutes the music would stop. disabling and renabling go locker fixed it. this phone was not rooted.
I tried disable/enable and uninstall /reinstall and no luck. But, I figured it out that it was due to Juice Defender settings and adjusted them and now Pandora will play when the screen is off.

Well you said you have no motions enabled but just throwing this out there you can turn over to mute/pause under motion control. I don't see how this could be a hardware problem so if you reinstalled stock it shouldn't be happening. If it's not your software then the only thing I could imagine is the encoding of your files. I know from experience that some MP4s from iTunes don't work. idk why.
Hi,
We guys don't seem to have same problem.
Music doesn't stop when screen's off. It just stops randomly.
Any other ideas?

What are you playing music with? (I'm assuming whatever media player comes with stock, but I could be wrong.)
What else do you have running on your phone right now?
I first used the stock media player then tried winamp and now poweramp.
Same problem with any of these.
There is always a lot of apps running in background such as bloat, mail, fb, rss reader, games....
I don't use task killers. I have GSam battery monitor and juice defender.
But as far as I know they don't kill running apps, unless i'm mistaken.

I think we have an answer, folks.
I would suggest going back to basics. There might be some debris in your headphone jack that shorts the "Pause" action. I would blow some compressed air in there, just in case.
Also, didn't S Voice or something have a command to Pause/Play? Maybe you have that on and through casual conversation S Voice is picking it up as Pause?
Thanks for your advise.
Blew some air but just in case but nothing.
S Voice cmd isn't active, I had already turn that off.
I think I'll do a factory reset and see if it fixes it.

I have had this problem off and on ever since I got the phone. It usually happens when I am listening to music and listening to the coaching from my running app (Endomondo Pro). They both work fine for a while then randomly one or both will stop playing through the headphones. I have tried a factory reset multiple times and nothing completely stops this.
Ok
Basically I don't need to bother to do so. Coz to be honest it's a pain in the a.. to do it.
Don't know what to do to fix this.

My PowerAmp developed a similar problem out of the blue just today or within the last few days.
JB 4.1.1 Ultimatum ROM.
Was working fine.
Then noticed it would stop playing after just five seconds, repeatedly.
I uninstalled.
Wiped Cache & Davlik.
Reinstalled and so far, so good. No more problems yet.
Pandora did not have any problems before or after.
Nope, n/m.
As soon as I hooked it up to my dock with DIY USB-OTG cable, PowerAmp started stopping/starting again.
Could be JB or any dozen other things, including my DIY cable.
I'll have to t/s some more.

As I said here:
You are running JuiceDefender.
Someone else in the thread with the same problem was running JuiceDefender.
Said someone else was able to make the problem go away by tinkering with JuiceDefender settings.
Could that possibly be the source of the problem, and a possible solution?
And as I said : we guys don't seem to have the same problem.
My player doesn't stop when screen goes black. My player stops randomly that's it.
He wanted to listen to internet radio while screen's off and just needed to set juice defender properly.
Anyway

If a specific program you're using is causing a similar issue to the one you're experiencing with other users, is it not worth taking a similar approach to solving the problem? If you don't have a sense of what settings in that program might be causing issues, then just stop the program running for a while and see if the problem goes away.
Likewise, if it's something else on your phone causing issues, stop other programs you might be running from running one by one and see if/when the problem goes away.

Umm, I am a she, not a he .
When I researched further, it was Juice Defender turning off the cellular raido that was causing the problem. The screen was a coincidence.
It wouldn't hurt to turn Juice Defender off and see if it still happens, just to rule that out. That way you would know for sure it is something else.
My set up is the same as yours, stock phone (can't remember if you are using ICS or JB), with Juice Defender and GSam Battery Monitor.
I ended up just turning Juice Defender off and putting it on power saving mode and honestly I haven't noticed a difference in performance, and I'm having better battery life than with Juice Defender. I'm getting average 23 hours on a charge and I'm using it a lot (although it does get charged in my car when I'm streaming music). With Juice Defender I was getting average 17 hours on a charge with using it a lot.
Sorry about that!
I did try that already but didn't change a thing.
I think I'll consider rooting it and flashing it.

Phone lags soooo much when I turn wifi on...

Every time I turn my wifi on and my phone connects to wifi, my phone lags to the point where it just freezes or the screen won't turn on when I press the power button later. I have to wait like 15-25 minutes for my phone to do all it's wifi business like updating apps before it stops lagging. It's so annoying. IS there anything I can do?
If it wasn't for the extra 3 "o"s we'd never have understood what's going on.
It has nothing to do with wifi and everything to do with "it's wifi business". Either update apps on your own so it doesn't have to or kill the play store every time it starts.
Yeah I'd say disable auto update in play store. I don't understand how you have so many apps needing auto update...

Do you know what their default io scheduler and read ahead are? They would be the main factor to reduce app update/install lag.

Bro we have the exact same situation when i turn on wifi i get lag even if auto update is of.. i think this became lag because of merging the dalvik cache, data and app to the sd-ext2 and creating a link those things back to the data.. if you also did like mine..

Single music skip when screen turns off

Latest shiny ROM, 3/27 hybrid mix stable kernel
I've been having an issue across a handful of Roms and kernels where when I'm playing music thru play music app it will do a single skip/stutter when the screen turns off. Doesn't skip after that or lag at all. Known bug? Anything I can do about it?
You mean a +-0.5 second stutter when playing music and turning the screen off? Thats present in all 4.4 roms..

Well stink. I might as well stop being bothered by it. Thanks.
