[Q] music handling broken for games most of the time?(temporarily fixed)

i'm curious whether anyone else suffers from this problem, and whether anyone knows of a way to fix it.
in games that rely on android to decode and play audio i have problems most of the time.
tap sonic/love ritmo: game screen freezes the moment a song starts playing, and then unfreezes and continues to play without any music.
osu!droid: when the game's own player is disabled(required for ogg support) the game runs choppy as if i'm trying to play it on a budget phone.
Galaxy on fire HD: voices are distorted, skip, or repeat small bits.
initially i thought this was fixed with the first update because i could suddenly play osu!droid and tap sonic without problems, but now it's broken again.
rebooting does not help.
logcat at http://sharetext.org/zlxu
the note 2 is going to be a bit of a problem with sharing logcats...
this is from shortly after boot, and it's already way too big for XDA attachments and pastebin.
EDIT: i managed to get the game sound working properly again, but if my past experience is any indication i'll have to redo my fix every few hours.
it all started working again after i wiped dalvik/cache and fixed permissions.
it would still be nice to know the cause, and a more permanent solution.

hi there.. i have the same problem too with tapsonic offline..
when my note 2 running basic firmware (i think it was ALIE), tapsonic offline works fine.. but when my note got upgrade to ALJ3, my tapsonic has the same problem with yours (freeze and then game over in all songs)
so how did you fixed it? just by wiped dalvik and fixed permissions? i think i've tried wiped cache and dalvik (without fixed permissions), but the result still the same

[Q] Youtube, Camera, Alarm, and Gallery Not Responding.

Sometime after upgrading to 4.1.1 my Galaxy Nexus began to have trouble viewing Youtube. At first I blamed the network, but trying to view a video in the gallery has begun to produce the same result, causing the app to hang and crash, as well as causing Face Unlock to stop working, requiring a restart. Clearing the app's Data and Cache have no effect. This was only a minor inconvenience until I installed 4.1.2; Since the update having a Youtube or Gallery video fail causes the Clock app to stop working when my alarm is supposed to be triggered in the morning. Google Play Music still works fine.
The problem occurs at totally random intervals after startup, usually after a full day of being turned on, and I'm not entirely sure if it was initially caused by the JB update. I have enabled "Show all ANRs" in the developers options to no avail. When upgrading to 4.1.2 the OTA failed, as did trying to install the OTA files through CWM. I was forced to re-flash the device without wiping. I have a GSM Nexus running Stock 4.1.2 takju JB, rooted and unlocked with Clockwork Mod Touch custom recovery. I've tried searching the internet for people in the same situation as me, and although I've found several similar, I haven't been able to find the same problem, or a way to fix it. I have already tried using Fix Permissions in CWM, closing and uninstalling other unrelated apps, and Clearing the Data and Cache for all the affected apps.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

wipe data/factory reset

I realize that will almost definitely fix the problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of what could be done short of wiping or re-flashing the device. I'd like to keep a factory reset as a last resort, but thanks for the quick reply.

Not entirely sure if this is the same but my camera, gallery, music and a few others wouldn't work, giving a no storage error. I flashed a different kernel and now all is good, maybe worth a try before a full reset!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I've heard of a few problems like that, but my phone gives me no error dialogs at all, it just stops working. All the apps are fine until I try to view a video. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't, but if the video does fail and I have to mash home to to get out of the app then anything media related stops working with the exception of Play Music. Sometimes I don't even get an ANR.
I might try to flash a new kernel. Could you tell me which on you used?

Have you tried reflashing the gapps?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I haven't tried Reflashing Gapps yet. I've attached a logcat file from when Youtube, Gallery and Camera stopped working. Only Face Unlock displayed an ANR. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly when the services stop working, but it doesn't seem to be when I do something specific to the phone.

Backing up, reflashing the phone and the restoring all my apps and data fixed the problem. Thank you all for the sugestions.

[Q] "Gallery Has Stopped Working" Loosing my mind! Please help!

Hi, thanks for trying to help, please, anything would make me happy. I'm really desperate for a response.
I'm at the end of my rope. I don't know what else to do, I kind of really need the back camera on my phone and I can't afford to buy a new one.
I'm running an ATT GS3 with Liquid Smooth 4.2.2, correct GAPPS and everything. This incident happened under another ROM, Illusion.
My camera started to slow down and my viewfinder would drop to ~10 FPS when taking a picture. Thought it was weird, didn't think much of it. Couple days later, I can't access it at all. I'll try accessing it through different ways like different camera apps and Snapchat, but it either closes or shows a black screen. My front camera still works, however.
I cleared dalvik, wiped everything down, and rebooted. Nothing. When I open the camera, the functions boot up and I can swipe to show options for a split second, then it's black and I get the message "Unfortunatly, Gallery has stopped.". Then I flashed back to my first Stock Touchwiz backup. Same thing. I tried a different ROM, Liquid Smooth. Same deal.
Otherwise, I've tried clearing the cache, data, force closing, disabling of the gallery app. I've removed the SD card and tried deleting everything displayed in Gallery. Nada. Still get this error.
I've tried researching this and I haven't had any sucess. Please, PLEASE help me. I'm pulling my hair out at this, I don't know how else to beg over the internet. ANYTHING

flash a new completely different stock rom not your back-up, wipe everything again before flashing, after you are done reboot and see if that helps
if it does not go back to samsung stock firmware (use odin) and remember to factory reset the phone before you do it
and am 99% sure that everything is fixed and everything goes back in-order when you go back to stock firmware.........hope that helps

Cache issues with XBMC

My device is rooted and has XBMC on it. It was working fine for a month or so but now I keep getting long buffer times with a message saying Cache full. I tried clearing the cache before but i still get the error. I did some research and what i found told me to apply the zero cache advanced xml. so I downloaded two maintenance tools. one being XBMCHUB maintenance and the other being Xfinitytalk's maintenance wizard. I've tried both and no matter what it always stops to buffer every few minutes and it doesn't buffer to the end regardless of how long i leave it paused. If i accidentally restart the show at the half way point it has to pause and buffer from the start over again (which is VERY annoying) and makes shows quite unwatchable
i am not sure what to do anymore.. clearing cache doesnt help, port forwarding doesnt help, zero cache xml doesnt work. at one point i started wondering if it was the sources but i've tried it on multiple plugins and it doesnt work but netflix works fine. has anyone else been seeing this problem? can anyone advise me on what to do?

I have the same issues as you do on both of my AFTVs. With my very limited experience with XBMC, it looks like the source being loaded down when I see these buffering and cache full messages. If I change to a different source or even go to SD source, no issues. It might not be the same for you, but this is just something I have observed because those cache full and buffering messages always BUG me!!

[Q] YouTubs app problem. Anyone have issues with video playing fullscreen?

I tried searching, and couldn't find any threads about this.
When browsing in the app, YouTube displays fine. However, when I load a video, it cuts off quite a bit of the video. An ad will play fullscreen, but the video will not. This wasn't a problem before. It just started happening today. I tried rebooting the ATV (center click + play button hold) and that didn't help. I cleared YouTube's cache, that was of no help as well. I'm wondering if I'll need to try reinstalling Youtube.
Picures of what I'm talking about are attached.
I'm not sure if it helps, but I am rooted on Software Version 51.1.1.0_user_511070220
Thanks for your time.

Uninstall youtube and update latest root firmware., then reinstall youtube.

I noticed this exact same thing last night however it wasn't on every video, only some of them.

I have started seeing the same problem with my FireTV Stick YouTube App. It did not happen earlier.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing YouTube App, but it did not help!
Anybody know how to fix it?

it did and i also adjusting the screen resolution on dispaly panel in settings.

I found one workaround.
When the video is cut-off, press menu button (three horizontal lines) on the remote once, that will take you to the search screen. Then press back button to go back to your video which should be now be either less cut or full screen. If its still cut-off, repeat the steps one more time and it will be full screen.
Annoying but works for now!

If you don't want to update to the latest pre-root, then completely uninstall YouTube and reinstall. Most people believe that simply uninstalling then reinstalling works, but doing so often leaves traces. You must clear the cache and dalvik to ensure it's cleaned from the system. Here is how to do it.
Uninstall the app through the settings. Reboot to CWM and clear cache and dalvik. Reboot. Then reinstall the app. If this doesn't fix the screen issue, then you might want to try updating.

Yesterday this started happening to mine also, strange it only affects certain videos.
My AFTV is unrooted and uses standard app, only posting to re-enforce that the problem seems to have suddenly appeared.
I will just keep an eye open and try and narrow down which are causing a problem.

This recently has been happening to me and it's on all videos. The YouTube app has been acting weird on my tablet as well, but less frequently.

hm, I left it alone for a while and now it seems to be working. that's fine and all, I would just like to know what caused it so that we can fix this if it happens again, or is still happening for others.
thanks for your input everyone.
