Re: Fixed my HTC Music tab stuttering issue
I have issues with some roms and custom locks, I changed the settings to not lock while music is playing and I have no skipping when I have the lock off. I think it has something to do with the lock.

Re: Fixed my HTC Music tab stuttering issue
Yeah, even the default WM lock screen does cause a stop in playback in HTC Music the first time you use it, but the problem I have had (even with the stock VZW ROM) was a constant stop/start of playback every few seconds on all MP3 files. Looking in a task manager, you will see AudioManager_eng.exe spike the CPU at those times, it was having a hard time with something in my case.
I don't think HTC sets the process priority for AudioManager_eng.exe high enough, which is what I think causes the problem with lock screens and such. Maybe on something like the HD2 it's not such a problem? |

Re: Fixed my HTC Music tab stuttering issue
Just an update on this, I did re-add the files from my playlist with special characters in them before I re-flashed to a newer custom ROM this evening.
At first, I didn't experience any issues other than an increase in the time it took the Music Tab to do it's little spinning circle thing after the files were added. Playback still seemed fine. However, I then deleted the HTC Audio Manager database file and let it rebuld from scratch. It took a very long time again, and after playing 5 or 6 tracks I started having issues again. AudioManager_eng.exe was spiking the CPU every few seconds and playback would stop and start like it was before. I used WMP and the playlist to remove those files again before I re-flashed (I did not just delete them from the SD card). I changed nothing on the SD card manually. After flashing, the Music Tab did the spinning circle thing for a very brief amount of time, and all is well! So ... in my personal case ... the files I had in my sync list with special characters in the title/artist do appear to have been my issue all along. I did skip a step, I should have verified that removing the files and deleting the database re-solved the issue before I flashed, I apologize for not doing that. Hopefully this information will help somebody else at some point! I'm a pretty happy camper myself, I don't even like Motley Crue all that much. No major loss - LOL ! |
