So I'm having an issue where if I'm on a website or in an app such as music player.. when I hit the back button instead of taking me back to the location on the web page or say if I'm in the L's of the list of songs in the music player it doesn't take me back to where I was... Instead it takes me back to say the home page of the web site OR like back to the start of the list of songs in the music player. So it's like it's not caching my last location..
another example If I'm in my baconreader app for reddit.. Used to be with my atrix that i would scroll down the page.. find an article I like or whatever then hit back and it would take me right back to the spot on the page i was.. NOW on my SIII when i hit back it like refreshes the whole page and takes me back to the very beginning again.
edit: Crap I just realized this is the Sprint SIII section.. Mine's AT&T.. don't know if that'd make a difference.

I had a specific question regarding HTC Audiomanager (and the tab) in this version of TF3D.
In the older att tilt and older versions of Manila and HTC Home, if you were playing a song, but then hit the library button to go back and pick a song, it would remember where you left off on your list. Or the song that was playing currently. For example. If you had songs listed from #A,B,C to Z...if you were listening to Womanizer by Britney Spears, if you hit the library button it would show that song first rather than say some sony that started w/ a # or A (basically the beginning of the library).
But when i moved from the Tilt to the Fuze i noticed that anytime you hit the Library button the player always reverts to the beginning of the list.
My first question is on the Tilt2 and TouchPro2 when you hit the library button does it revert to where you left off, or does it automatically got back to the beginning like on the tilt.
Secondly, for those that have a good amount of songs, is there anyway to quickly scroll through a list of songs. Say if you have 400+ and you're browsing the music by song name, if you want to get to 'Sharp Dressed Man' at the bottom of the list, do you just have to spend forever flicking the screen...or is there some type of scroll bar like there was in older versions where you can just drag it down.
thanx in advance...
I picked up my Tilt 2 yesterday. Let me load some songs when I get home from work and I will get back to you.
sweet thanks so much man, id reaaaaally appreciate it. its honestly one of the few things i hate about my fuze...and im really hoping the same wont be true with the tilt 2
Unfortuately it always reverts back to the beginning of the library and you have to flick ad nausem to get back to the bottom letters. I have over 2000 songs on my SD card and it's not fun.
HTC desperately needs to add an alpha quick jump menu along the side so one can jump directly to "T" for example.
S
for a company that is so big, and especially one thats really starting to make some savvy media centric devices...this is one of the biggest ball drops i've seen in a long time. its plain stupid if you ask me. I wonder if a 'resume on current artist' as far as flicking through the library could be something fixed w/ a registry edit.
My audio manager seems defective or something. Songs play for 10 secs then stop. I don't know if the problem is hardware or what but it happend with stock rom and flashed rom.
oh yeah....another question guys, to those that have the TP2/tilt 2
when switching between tabs, especially when the device is coming out of standby, if you switch from say the home tab to the music tab, on my fuze it takes honestly a good 20 seconds for the actual sony information/music tab to actually open up while i'm playing the music.
For example, days that i'm not using my BT headphones and i'm actually using some corded ones, if i want to switch tracks, i unlock my device and go from the home tab to music, but just to switch tracks it takes a good 20 seconds because the player just sits at a blank screen. Does the audiomanager in the current Rhodium build do this same thing?
This along w/ the starting at the top of the list, and lack of a good scrolling solution are my 3 biggest peeves about audiomanager. I swear, i can't think of any company who's updated their software (for any product for that matter) and actually made it worse and less functional than a version they had 2+ years ago....rant over
Hi, I used the search function, but I suck sometimes with it so I hope this has not been covered. I will explain this the best I can, let's say you're using your browser, (Default, DolphinHD, Skyfire) any of them, and you want to stream a movie, whether it be a 5 minute movie, or a 2 hour movie. You load the web page the movie is on, and it starts playing because Flash 10 is awesome, and having it on your phone is even more awesome. But then someone texts you in the middle of a 2 hour movie, and you respond to them. If you go back to your movie, it will continue to play for whatever part was already loaded in the ram, and then stop. It's like the phone (I say phone, because every single browser does this) does not know to keep streaming once you return to the web page. You could zoom in, fiddle around with the stream (Which is hard enough) and try to find the exact position you were at before, but that seems like a lot of work because I hope somebody sympathizes with me that controlling a scroll bar in a flash movie is almost impossible. I have tried making my own HTML website, where there is a frame in the middle, which means obviously it's two different web pages in one. If I start to play a movie on the left frame, and then move to the right frame and load a page, again, the movie will stop. Any disruption, will stop the movie from streaming. If this seems long and drawn out, I apologize, I just tried to make it clear. Does anyone have a way to rig around this, or solution in general?
Just disable the text messaging popup and you'll be fine.

Although no 2 hour movies, I just tap to pause. It just picks up where I left off.

I know hat there is already a thread about this, and i posted there something that i tought it resolved the issue, but in fact it did not.
When i'm playing music outside of the google play music and press pause, either trough the status bar or the widget, sometimes the status bar controls stay there, which is what i want since sometimes you just want to pause the music for a couple of seconds, but most of the time they just vanish and i have to go to the music player to contiue the song.
This happened on CM9 and now i'm back to stock 4.0.4 and the issue still persists.
Does anybody know a fix for this?
I haven't had the controls vanish while using the phone but it gets closed pretty quickly by the system when your phone is in standby. I think it's because the player is holding a wake lock which would drain your battery if you'd forget the player is still on pause.
I use the widget as a workaround to quickly start the music again since it remembers the last song and position.
Yes! They go away once you enter the play music app. I know its a drag, but I get used to it now

Thanks for the responses, i know that when you are on the music app it goes away and that i could hold wake lock and drain the batery, but that is useful when you going to see a video for example or respond to e-mail and want to concentrate, them you could pause the music, do whatever you gotta do and then play the music without ever leaving to the home screen.
Does anyone knows how to resolve this? bump...

Same applies with the lock screen controls - when you pause, quite often the controls will mysteriously vanish and leave you having to wade back into the music app (which is quite a pain). Wonder if it's a memory management issue - i.e. if the music app is no longer playing, we can recycle it
Oh, as for your comment - if you can't post anything helpful, best to leave this to the big boys

Hey man first thanks for your comment, this guy just seems to be troling a lot of post lately.
And yes sometimes it vanishes from the lock screen, the thing that is really bothering me is the fact that there is no consistency, so i can never be sure if the controls will be there or not
use the cm9 player it has a option to keep notification on pause.
Hey tks for the reply, i am on stock 4.0.4 for a few weaks, i was running cm9 but it seems that they will never put a beta so a went back to stock, how can i get their player? also does it sync with google music?
Get from the cm9 site. I'm also using dsp manager.

Some sites (xda being one of them) just reloads the web page when I hit back unless I hit it like 2-4 times really quick. I think this has happened to me since gingerbread... Its kind of annoying, is there a fix for this?
I did some work on one of the 2 non rooted units that I have and installed the Llama options for "sleep mode" where the unit boots to XBMC when turned on, goes to sleep after 20 minutes and if yo hit the home button it still takes you back to the FTV home page but with no activity for 15 seconds it goes to sleep again. If you hit the OK button it wakes back up in XBMC. What a great setup for a non rooted unit. Kudos to the Kodi.wikki site for the information and way to do it.
Long story short, I took my second unit and did a factory restore on it to set it up the same way. All went well, but I notice that now up at the top of the home page where the recently view items are, all of the original shortcuts are gone...Netflix, Youtube, Classic TV...... 14 or so of them in all and in thier palce now are two or three info videos including the original one you have to sit through to even get the unit working and two more new ones as well as a shortcut to Prime TV.
My question is.....is ther anyway to delete these videos and get them off my unit. They simply taKe up space and after having to watch that first one at least a dozen time now I don't even want to see a shortcut to it!!
Someone please say there's an easy way to delete them and tell me how.....
Thanks!
PS... I noticed other several subtle changes in the layout even though my firmware didn't change. I can't explain how it happened, but another change is when you go to settings, applications and manage all applications. The window with all of the installed aps used to open up to the right of the main app screen.....now it opens to the left of the main screen. Again, no big deal, but something did change today after resetting the unit and I just set it up for the first time several days ago....it's now different. I just want to eliminate those instructional video shortcuts though!
