My Favorite app spotify apparently doesn't work properly on the ATRIX HD. After using it for a few days I noticed it is freezing and I have to re-select the track I want to play again. It locks up and when i go to the now playing section it shows the current song as only 1 second long. I have been experimenting with every setting I can think of but it still does this. Has any other ATRIX HD spotifly user ran into this problem or a possible fix??
PS I tried my buddys and same problem. :-(

I too have noticed a lot of market apps dont work right.
The phone came out on the 15th so give the market sometime to update some apps to work right.
I'm waiting on Zumocast to work right.

All apps work for me fine. I have not had any problems so far. I just wish there was root

Have you used spotify extensively? If you switch tracks enough times it freezes up. Happens every time I use Spotify.
I tested it and it was working for me actually for your sake to see. But I personally like using Rdio so much more. UI is just awesome plus it works perfectly for me.

Hmm did you try switching tracks a bunch? Everytime I have tried it would freeze sooner or later.

It got a little jittery for me after skipping 2-3 times aggressively.
I guess it's trying to load the song information and it bogs up.
Iheart Radio has problems loading stations at times.
I also get a weird preference error that dose absolutely nothing. Just pops up a window saying it cant load my preference.
I noticed there are some apps not available for the phone yet. I really want my Zumocast working again.
I used to stream my movies and music from my PC to my car, now I gotta wait for them to make a Zumocast client for Atrix HD
Until then I'm using drop box to download & save stuff.. but no streaming

For me it completely stops. Ive tried using it on wifi at home and same thing within the course of one album if you press skip within about 10 tracks it always ends up freezing. Tried 2 other peoples phones so I'm pretty sure everyones is doing this. Dosen't make sense because it works fine on the GS3 and all other android phones I've tried?
Finally as much as I love my spotify(it's probably my favorite app) I resorted to using RDIO we'll see how it goes.
Although Zumocast isn't working, Motocast (the replacement) seems to work very well!
EDIT: nope. Still not working.

Hey all, just a quick problem I'm having with pandora. When I'm driving around listening to pandora it will randomly stop playing a song and I'll have to skip to the next song and it will play fine again. Anyone else have this problem? I've tried reinstalling from the market, and it's persisted over several roms and 2.1 and 2.2. Any help would be great! Thanks.

I'm a bartender and I plug my phone into the sound system to play music for the whole bar when I'm working, and I often stream music. For a while, I used Pandora but it would stop like that and/or freeze up and I would have to force stop it in task manager and re open it, which takes at least a minute (and in bartending, is a lot of time not spent making money). It got to the point where Pandora would stop every 4th or 5th song. Mind you, this was the same whether I was on wifi or 3g. Anyhow, I switched to Slacker and it's been almost flawless. It also actually plays the ****ing artist that I create the radio station around.
i also had this happening to me a while ago but it seems to be sparatic with my phone, lately it has been working great with wifi and 3g. It usually happens to me though when i am on a 3g network when i want to listen to something other than my ipod. Then other times i can be at school just sitting doing my hw while listening doing hw and it starts stopping on me. Unlike you though mine seemed to stop when the screen shutoff and i would have to press play again and as soon as i did that it would stop again. Think the problem was due to ATK but dont really know if that was true
screw pandora now.

I have also switched to slacker in the last couple weeks and will never go back to pandora. You are correct in that you actually hear the artist you chose quite often.
My wife and I notice that a lot when we are driving home from work listening to it via bluetooth. Every 3-4 songs it does that. In the middle of the day I never have a problem. I'm pretty sure their servers are likely just getting overwhelmed.
Was beginning to think it was my phone doing it...will try slacker now.
I, too, am glad to know it's not just my phone. Everything you guys describe happens to me also.
I never heard of Slacker, but will check it out now.
This has been an issue since version 1.5 of Pandora. It's very lame.
If you can find an apk of version 1.4.x, supposedly it was more reliable.

I think I'm done with Pandora. Anyone have any advice between Last.FM and Slacker? I'd probaly go with the premium on which ever one I decided on.
Cog 4.1 btw
Just chiming in to say I have the same problem. I only get a few songs then Pandora stops playing. Not sure if it has to do with the phone going to sleep. I have seen some posts about "Mobile Data Always On" option but I have yet to find that on the Captivate.
No its pandora! I just downgrade to 1.3 and been fine since.
While trying to watch YouTube it randomly stops dead. If I tap a spot on the time line the video quickly starts again. I've had this thing about 5 hours and it is seriously getting on my nerves. Add to the fact that the chrome browser isn't mirroring I'm about to smash this thing to bits. Any help!?
Netflix seems to work flawlessly.
I've tried improving network connection but that hasn't helped.
YouTube has this issue even when played from the browser on pc.

Exact same problem on my chromecast and is happening only since last evening. As you said, Netflix is flawless and its only With YouTube.
Thank god its not the device but seems like software or YouTube server support for chromecast. Hope it will get a fix pretty soon
This started happening to me last night. Youtube will freeze after about 2:20. It will start again if I skip forward or back, but only for another 2 mins. Have never had a problem before and Netflix works fine. I'm glad it's not just me.
Are either of you able to cast your tabs to your TV screen? Because I am also unable to get that to work from my pc to the Chromecast.
I had the same exact issue last night when watching YouTube. It would stop dead, and the only way it would start back, was when I tap the stopped point on the timeline as well.

Even casting the chrome browser tab had issues.... but after a while it worked... I am pretty sure even the chrome tab cast is lill messed up... Looks like the chromecast got a software upgrade which is causing these issues....
Does anyone know if there was a software upgrade yesterday?
Update:
I just exchanged the unit I had for another one but unfortunately I'm having the same issues. The unit itself force updates on startup which is a shame. It would be nice to do a revert and see if the old software functions correctly.
Youtube freezing
Same problem with me. I have two Chromecasts and Youtube stops on both of them roughly every 2.5 minutes, from both a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7. On 14th November around noon ET they were fine, but by the evening the problems had started. My Youtube app is showing as having updated on 14th Nov (although it's not showing up in the 'Recently updated' section in the Play app). Rebooting the Chromecasts, the android devices and the network all failed to eliminate the problem.
I have the same problem!!!
Mine seems to be fixed now.
Same here, YouTube was freezing yesterday at about 2 mins into any video. Tried it again tonight with zero issues. Happy, happy, happy...

Its seems like Youtube works for non HD videos without problem. HD videos is not playing properly (shuttering, no voice, etc). Shutters more for music videos.

I'm still having problems too, no sound and stuttering video. I have two Chromecasts and they both do it. I'm in the UK though. I'm glad it snot just me, but slightly concerned yours all seem to be working now and mine doesn't
Everything else works fine.
This stuttering on hd videos really aggravating. My 3 year old is unable to watch lungi dance, so now I actually have to be a good parent early on a Saturday morning. Damn you Google!

I just tested a few HD vids and yes there was stuttering, almost If the Chromecast couldn't buffer properly.
same issue here in germany, tested with Nexus 4, 5, 7 and chrome on Pc
From today morning YouTube app is not loading from the chrome cast. From mobile app, I am getting no network try again message.
I have a feeling that Google is going kill the device silently.

Hey all,
Since I got the OTA for KK 4.4.2, my lockscreen music widget is acting a little bit weird. When I'm listening to music with google play music (and even from some other players like poweramp, rocket player, etc) and the screen goes off, if the track ends and another one begins, when I wake the phone, it shows the current's music art, but the title from the previous track.
With some players I get a bit of variation, some I get the previous album art, some I get both, name and art....
I can only get it working properly when I'm using NexMusic or Apollo, with those two, everything works like a charm, but I really wanted to use GPM.
I have recently factory reseted my phone, I didn't work. Tried to clear GPM's cache and data, nothing, tried to uninstall the update and stick to the original one that came with the phone and still nothing... So I was wondering if any of you can help me a little bit here.
I took a screenshot to try to explain it. It started playing Resistance by Muse, the screen went off and then Sunday Morning started playing, the album art is from sunday morning but the track name is still Resistance.
Yeah, same with me

Hi so i asked over at the Motorola owners forums but nobody over there could resolve my issue. This is what's going on: So when I go to watch videos on the YouTube app on WiFi or Mobile data the video will start to play and then like 10 seconds in the video will stop and it will say "problem loading video tap to retry" so I tap to retry sometimes it works but most of the time it just keeps loading and never does anything. Once that happens all other streaming media apps don't work like Spotify won't play music as well as local mp3's that I have on my device. After a reboot then I'm able to play every thing again until it happens again. I've done a cache wipe and a factory reset without automatic backup/restore on as well as turning awesome player off in the developers options. And that has not changed anything. Any ideas on what to do? Also i'm not rooted i'm on stock firmware.
I get this as well. Are you using any xposed modules?

yes its really bad. funny thing is i was one of the test drivers for the update for them, and they wouldn't listen to any of us when we told them not to mass release it but they didnt care and did it anyway. their feedback was horrible too they left us hanging for weeks with no updates. no communication at all.

I have this problem as well. Seems to work on my N7 with 5.1, so it must be moto specific. it is super annoying.
I am having an issue where audio stops after about 30 minutes of playback, the only way to get it going again is to unlock the device and go into the app. This happens with audio books on Audible and podcasts through Podcast Addict with wired and Bluetooth headphones. The issue only starred after the full 8.1 update. I had no issues with 7.1, 8.0 beta, 8.0 full release or 8.1 beta. I tried a full wipe and it still happens. Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas on a fix? It's as if Android is killing the app.
I tried tweaking a couple of things in developer settings but nothing worked. So I tried playing Audible and Podcast Addict using Android Auto and both played for well over 30 minutes without stopping. This was with the screen off and over bt. But having to fire up AA to play something isn't ideal.

Could be a background killing service after 30 min of srenn off.

Yeah, I created the thread on Nokia Care. The issue is pissing me off so I want HMD to address it.

Press and hold battery, go to background activity manager, find your app, grey out slider switch.
This will allow any app to work forever and a bit longer.

Maybe i have the wrong end of the stick here but I don't have the background activity cleaner enabled and all of my apps are on the whitelist and shouldn't be restricted anyway, i also have Poweramp set to have no battery optimisation since google fannyed around with how Bluetooth works and the audio still stops at around 30 minutes.

So you have to remove it from the whitelist essentially blacklisting it even if the actual background activity cleaner is turned off which is the exact opposite of what it was in 8.0?
That's just bonkers.

Bizarre and a bug that needs correcting sharpish really, when you turn it off (or make it grey which ever term you prefer to use) you can even see the number of allowed apps that can run in the background decrease so android is even telling you you have just restricted its ability to run in the background lol
Seems there is some aggressive background app optimisation. Better if hmd unlock the bootloader so that devs can utilise the full potential of the device.
