[Q] Is my media problem typical? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i've been really excited at the idea of ditching my mp3 player and only carrying my phone. usually it will play one song, but then program will lock up after that and eventually require a force close. it seems to happen in different roms as well. BUT it also happens in my sound and display settings when i try to increase or decrease the notification volume in alarm settings or when i try to increase the alarm volume. I'm pretty much afraid of any slider options. I'm sure others have had this problem, i just want to know if there's a quick fix or its just a problem with the o.s.
if it helps i am rooted. i thought it was my processor clock settings being too low, but it happens on performance mode as well. i am using the fascinate music player too, but i don't think it matters. thanks.

I'm having the same problem here using the Music Player that comes with SyndicateROM and WinAmp. I'm using Eclair (SyndicateROM) with the DI18 modem and have never had this problem before. Even if I go into Astro and try to play the file that way, it still will only play one song.
If you need any information just let me know.

I'm on stock just did one click root. Native player worked fine for me... No problems whatsoever, multi tasking was hit or miss but pretty damn good, hard to overdo it and stop the music for me....

Make sure u guys aren't, or haven't manually removed the DRM apk files. This is known to cause audio probs

Any more specific than that? I know there was a workaround at one point which touted removing the DRM apks to increase battery life.

This. I reflashed my ROM and didn't remove the DRM files and it works now!

[Q] Install 2.2 Voice Recorder app on 2.1?

My wife still has Eclair on the Epic and her phone doesn't have Voice Recorder on it. I'm using 2.2 (Nebula 1.0.6) and my phone has a stock Voice Recorder app.
Is there any way to get my Voice Recorder app onto her phone? Would it even run under 2.1? She'd like to use it to record lectures at school and it's by far the best app I've seen for doing so. I've downloaded a LOT of them and nothing seems to beat this one on simplicity and stability.
P.S. This is not the Voice Recorder app in the Android Market.
Okay try this on the Eclair epic. Get launcherpro(just cause this is how i did it), you dont have to use it just go to whatever launcher it normally uses, hit menu>add>shortcut>activities, then scroll down and look for Sound Recorder. Select that and it'll add a shortcut to the homescreen. When you record, it saves the file to the root of the sd card if I remember right. I think this is what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

Is her phone rooted and clockworked? If so I could whip up a simple .zip to flash through cwm. Since it's a system app, installing through a file manager won't work. If you're familiar with pushing files through adb you could always copy the app from your phone and push it to hers.
I did manage to get the Sound Recorder working, and its interface for recording is exactly what she needs. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any kind of interface for playback, which leaves her at a loss.
Leatherneck, her phone isn't rooted. I'm sort of keeping it as the control in our little home Android experiment. If she *really* feels like she needs this app, I may just bite the bullet and do it, but I'm hoping that I can just convince her to use something else.
I think my best option is going to be to download one of the crappy free sound recorders on the Market and just cross my fingers for Froyo sometime within my lifetime. Thank you both very much for your help.

Yeah, that's the only flaw. I think the files show up in the music player under a playlist called my recordings.

[Q] no sound from timer

I use the timer when I'm cooking and recently*, it doesn't play a sound when the timer ends. Is there a way to change it? Could I have accidentally deleted or .nomedia'd the folder where the sound file resides?
Possibly related, my calculator is missing.
*I think since I updated to EC05, not sure..

[Q] Changing notification tones on EI22

I can't seem to use custom/nonstock ringtones for notifications on ei22. Before on ec05 I had a folder on my sdcard that had them all and it worked but no go now. Theb only thing I can think of is that ei22 doesn't support mp3 tones because I even tried placing it in the notification folder within the system.
I did search but every thread is to disable it lol
Works fine for me. I click notification sound in settings>sound and all my ringtones pop up in the list and work fine. Maybe you need the sounds in the ringtone folder.

So for some reason I can use MP3 for ringtones but not notifications. In order for me to use custom notifications they need to be OGG, ei22 doesn't like MP3's for some odd reason
By the way I am using CleanGB rom so maybe its that if everyone else is able to use MP3's.
EDIT:
Spoke to soon, I can now see it under notifications but it doesn't play it

I'm on Legendary and have no problem using MP3s in my ringtone folder. Try converting it to M4A file. Maybe there is a file you are missing since CleanGB has a lot of bloat removed.
As wack as this may sound, if you truly can't find a resolution...ringdroid supports mp3 notifications.

Thanks, I was not able to find an option to change it manually but I downloaded the Zedge app and it allowed me to choose a notification that it had (same one I had).

[Q] PlayerPro crashing upon startup. (JellyBelly v6)

I start it up, and it just goes right back to the launcher, it will show up in my open tasks though and when I try to get to it from there it just crashes again. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue?
Updated:
Also another issue, tried opening DoubleTwist, it opened. But when I when I went to hit the Albums tab it crashed as well.
Try fixing permissions. If that doesn't work, it could be an incompatibility of some sort... Can't know unless I know more about your setup.

There are a lot of sound and music mods in v6, I modified the ROM to work optimally with the included music players... Sorry if other ones don't work because of it. Noozy and Apollo are both great music apps.
I use player pro and haven't had this issue.

I have tried fixing permissions twice now and still no change. I've tried reinstalling both applications and still no change. They are not stored on the SD card, Apollo works, as does Google Music. But I don't like having to use Apollo, it has barely any features, and it wont let me change it's skin. And even though I have my entire library on Google Music I don't like to steam music as it kills my battery so I store music locally to an SD card.

Try JellyBelly v5. It doesn't have the audio mods and runs just as fast, if not faster.

Ok so I guess i missed the memo where you updated V5 again so I redownloaded and re-wiped the phone, it works like a charm now. When I saw that last one that said final I figured it was final and didnt there was an update to it again till 3 days ago.
May I say though thank you for this ROM, I was using the CNA port before this, but I think that may be the final one I keep on my phone, now that everything seems to be working on it now.

Forgive me if i dont understand right but you say the stock ringtones and notifications are there in system/media? If not what is there? Do you have a noise happening when notification or call comes in? If so just change them by either using music player and selcting use as ringtone, etc or just add your own files with sounds or music to the same place in system/media where the stock ones are. Make sure they are the right file type. Then you might see the option under settings tab. If not then save stock sounds to a folder on your sd card and the ones left that you just put there should now be your new sounds. Let me know if this worked please. Good luck
1st yes. 2nd not before I set a ringtone from music. 3rd that us the solution I was using. 4th will try that. 5th they are .ogg so nothing e.g music picks them up. in previous versions settings had all of them

How many ogg files are showing under system/media/? Just one? If so adding another may give you an option in settings. If not try nova launcher and go to settings again and options may show. If not look for app that converts files to other kinds of files and the oggs might be able to be turned to another format that makes it show up in music player. If not try flashing newer nightly update and see if it fixes itself in the next build. Let me know
