This has always been happening, its incredibility frustrating the music will cut out/or will stutter often. It does seem to do it more often the longer the phone is booted up. But there is enough free RAM and I don't really know why it's doing it, I have even reinstalled the firmware...running stock ICS .55. so irritating if anyone can tell give me a working solution I will buy you a coffee!:good:
Every music player on stock ICS for XS shutters (on my XS) .. Seems to be a problem with stock rom..
My friend's low end Samsung Galaxy Y doesn't have this problem. I try my best to avoid playing music around him.. Its embarrassing IMHO..

Even the walkman app? Walkman seems to be fine for me, but I don't like it so don't really wanna use it. Plus I bought powerAMP so I want to use it obviously plus its awesome otherwise :silly:

Yes.. Seems to be the worst affected.
Testers are reporting smooth music playback on latest leak JB Firmware : 6 .2 .B .0 .197 ... Everything is working except for some minor bugs..
You can try that out..
There's a setting in poweramp to increase buffer size, I leave it as is and haven't had any stutters or skips on stock ics

@Jackmax32 good to hear, more excited for its release then ever
Strange, I haven't had it happen once. I'm using 6.1.A.3.7 firmware, heavily debloated, with unit.d tweaks.

Has anyone noticed the increase in the sound output after JB update? I have seen a massive improvement and the music quality has also improved drastically. Bass is also impressive now. The headphones are now blasting with music... Please share your thoughts...
I have also noticed that the browser does not reload after reopening while multi tasking. These two are the best updates for me in JB...
So multi-tasking is for real this time.
How about music chopping with default player. Haven't read a solution about it before?
Am on the music player for past 2 hrs now, and haven't had any choppiness at all. Although this was an issue even I faced intermittently.
I was also experiencing choppiness in the default music player and Youtube before the update. Now I haven't experienced them so far..
The music player has just become so awesome!! HTC has managed to make gapless play onto to the new update,,which is something that music lovers love the most... :thumbup: And the beats audio equaliser has been redefined,,and music is more loud as well as sharp... I could hear even the smallest of music with my headphones on... Even it did some magic with the speaker.. even though it doesn't have a built in amplifier like the 8x,, it is giving more loudness than before.. HTC has given the best update till yet... :thumbup: Hoping for more..

Browser bug where the status bar keeps showing up once in a while like its going crazy is still there. Its driving me nuts.

absolutely true. i didn't notice a huge improvement concerning music qualitiy though.
loudness increased about an estimated 30%.
what players are you using?
it'S PowerAMP for me.
All sounds amazing thanks for info can't wait for update to reach me. I just wondered, can anyone confirm plz USB OTG is a reality?
Yup USB OTG working..i already try it

I'm using pro player and the stock music player. Maybe the headphones I have are making a difference in sound including the loudness... Glad to know that wifi direct is working...

Yes, I can confirm, the volume is louder with the new Jelly Bean Base
I also confirm, its louder

Hi all
I am using cm9 rc6 and i am happy with that. Thanks to devs.
I ve compared the 720p videos of cm9 and stock gb. File size of gb version is nearly doubling the cm9 version. I watched both videos in pc and I am not surprised with that because there is a clear quality difference in favor of gb version video.
Is there a way to rec videos in cm9 as good as in gb Rom version?

I've made a topic about the same Q, but only with cm10 and GB.
I've noticed the same thing lol, that the GB 720p runs on way better fps than JB.

i think we cant do anything about it for now, unless arco or other devs decided to improve it..
For me im quite satisfied, considering that its not working before..THANKS arco/devs for that..
FYI.. quoting arco's words about the camera.
•camera will never work as good as in stock rom, period! We are using ugly hal wrapper hack to get it to work at all! This is only guaranteed to work partially ok with included camera app. And still not everything will work at all with it, like certain effects or video calls. All other 3rd party camera apps may or may not work. Don't cry if they don't. If you absolutely need a 100% working camera, use stock rom!

Thats bad, I hope, that in future we will be capable of recording those 30 fps videos.
Thanks for response anyway.
I have two xperia plays and the one with GB plays way louder then JB why? And is there a mod to fix it ? Are Dev's aware of this?

Its because of cloud. There's a mod called louder jb But I didnt really see a difference when flashing it but you can try it. Just search because I don't have the thread favorited so can't link you to it
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
I found a partial fix
Try it out. I think some code was lost when the drivers were ported. I used this mod from team acid the speaker is now almost where it should be
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000749
Thanks for the info
This is because of poorly optimised drivers on the Jelly Bean Rom. I'm sure the Rom Developer could fix if he put more time into it. But as other seem to suggest. You could probably download some Mods to make JB phone louder.
oh yes i notice VERY MUCH it tears me apart knowing that JB or CM roms on xperia play will never support True XLoud ( the engine that makes the external speakers loud) this makes me want to get a new phone.
if you download Cosmic Dans version of Miui v5 you will notice that he has implemented some kind of semi XLoud, its like stage 1 xloud like "when you have to plugin headphone to fix xloud on GB" im currently trying to see what it is.
Hey Guy
My xperia Ion was very smooth with ICS few days ago, but when i upgrade it to JB (i have been waiting it for a long time), it's getting lagger and lagger like below:
- APP DRAW : very lag, not smooth like ISC FW, what is the thing in JB called "Project butter"? I heard that it make android smooth as much as IOS. But i dont see this on JB Xperia ION, this is so disappointing.
- FACEBOOK, CHROME ... APP: disappointing again. They're so lag that i have to uninstall them immediately.
- WALKMAN: What happen with my favorite music player, the quanlity of music is getting so bad.
- CAMERA: capture movie add the highest resolution (Full HD) is getting lag, it dont happen in ICS FM
Please give me some solution to bring back the smooth i have had on ISC FW to the new JB FW on my ION
Thank a lot guy

The Project Button was a project to try to bring smoothness to the whole UI. It doesn't promise a lag-free experience. Did you made a clean or dirty install? Facebook app has been getting faster and faster with each update. Chrome is really slow because it was built based on PC's version, not a Android app. Also, you have a 2010 processor in your phone. It isn't one of the best. Walkman in JB is 10x better, sound quality wise, for me... Camera problem is because Sony implemented some new drivers that aren't really compatible with our processor, so it lags a bit...
Android JB in Xperia Ion is Awesome
I flashed Android JB in My Xperia Ion few days ago. It's really cool update. I installed PowerAmp for Music and it's the Best. Walkman is also good. But can't compare with PowerAmp. I haven't face any issue with Camera. Apps are working very fine (No crashing so far.) I tested Asphalt 7 Heat and It's Great. (No Lagging/No Crash).
Pros:
+ Better User Experience :highfive:
+ No compatibility issues (Perhaps I installed all apps which I had in ICS.)
+ SenseMe Slideshow in Albums app (I like it very much. :victory: )
+ Improved Notifications Bar
+ Customizable Wall/Screens (Can add/delete any no of walls which is not possible in ICS)
+ Familiar widgets
Cons:
- Booting time is more when compare with ICS. (It's not a Big Deal. I don't restart my phone every day. Who does?! :angel: )
- Can't Root the OS. (ICS was Rootable easily. Waiting for Firmwares from XdaDevelopers. )
- Can't uninstall/remove apps from Menu itself. (ICS has Blocks icon on top right which enables to delete user installed apps.) It's not a Big deal, I can uninstall via Settings -> Apps.
- Not able to find Direct call Contacts Widget.
I suggest to Flash Android JB on your Ion. :highfive:
Well, it can be done [root]

Jellybean is easily rootable via doomlords rootkit.
Tho i dont find the jellybean update all that great. Back on ICS for me...its better. Sony just cant get video recording right can they?!
My Acro S is running Beanstalk 4.4.278. Great rom so far but 1080p playback (specifically on MX Player) does not work. Freezes and reboots my phone when I try. 1080p recording with latest Google Camera works like a charm but its frustrating I can't view any of them. I haven't tried playback on any other video players though. I removed the video player that came with KitKat or the rom btw so I can't try that too.
Any help or advice?

Just tried it (since I had never tried it before you mentioned it) and it works fine. The video is a little juttery, but I can live with that.
Running BeanStalk v4.4.285, on the same phone.. Kernel is 3.4.0-Evovle-v1.11+ [email protected]
I think you might want to upgrade to the latest version - that might fix it.

Any notable bugs on 4.4.285? I might upgrade if that will fix the playback problem and if there aren't any annoying bugs..

There are two that are a bit annoying (again, not everyone has these though, so you might get lucky).
1. Sometimes when a call comes in, the screen will either stay blank and take a while to light up (by which time the caller has hang up)
2. Sometimes streaming a video online (with any player, not just MX) will crash and force the device to reboot when you try to exit watching the video.
These are the two major issues that I find on my phone. Never the less, I still prefer this version to stock, so I have been using it for more than a month now and I am very happy.
