[Nexus 4 General] Alexander DeLarge:
I'm sick of people acting like we're entitled babies for expecting to get a device within 3-5 days after ordering it. Not to mention they announced it a couple weeks earlier and the whole November 14th thing was set in stone. We paid money. They run a store front. They are a massive multi-billion dollar corporation and they didn't expect a high-end phone being sold for low-end costs to sell out? They expected the store to run smoothly while people got completely screwed over by the cart system because it doesn't "grab" the item and hold it for a reasonable amount of time?

This isn't some amateur blog. This is a website that is handling hundreds of thousands of customers and it should be treated as such. If they can't handle the task, they should have sold the phone elsewhere to avoid all the technical issues. The Nexus 7 launch was a complete failure and this was even worse. They need to step up their game, own up to their mistakes as a company and offer more than free shipping as a condolence to anyone stupid enough to buy one after seeing how the Nexus 7 was handled (me included).
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
Perfectly true words!
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
As long as you still have the choice TO NOT PAY FOR THE ITEM, the only thing they owe you is a "sorry it didn't go well". They absolutely in no way even remotely owe you anything of monetary value.
[Nexus 4 General] Uss_Defiant:
Right, cause reliability and customer service is now a luxury and not something to be expected. By your logic, it's acceptable to only have one cashier at a Costco on boxing day. Ffs.
[Nexus 4 General] code65536:
You know, time and convenience has value. Why do you think people pay more for faster shipping? If there are companies that rent out tablets for $1 a day (saw that in the news recently), then isn't it reasonable to say that for some people, three weeks worth of usage of that device is worth something monentarily?

People didn't pay for a Nexus 4. They paid for a Nexus 4 in 3-5 business days. You seem to hold this bizarre view that only one party is responsible. Responsibility cuts both ways. We are responsible for agreeing to and entering into this sales agreement. But Google is also responsible for delivering what they promised.

Or to put it another way, if I am late with a credit card payment by 3 weeks, will my credit card company be content if I just said, "sorry it didn't get there in time"?

Is it just me guys or do you also encounter some random stuttering while playing music in stock music player? It's just a quick stutter but really annoying since it happens randomly.

Im on stock LJ1, and this never happened when Im on ICS :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
Happens with me to. In stock and PowerAmp.

It started since Jelly Bean

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istoner:
Try Settings->Audio->Advanced Tweaks->Audio Buffer Size-> Large or Huge.

Haven't noticed any stuttering since I made it large.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
Tried. Didn't help :(

Even tried b changing audio priority to highest.

Specially happens if I'm browsing something and some picture starts loading.

Doesn't happen in my year old iPod.

And I don't think it used to happen in ICS :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielk0302:
I had a similar problem which i think i worked out to happen when a message was coming through or a application was updating, leading me to think it was a low RAM problem so maybe this could be whats happening, if alot of things are open in the background. Either that or processor isnt working fast enough. If your rooted and have a custom kernel try changing the profile to maybe a performance one?

I'd say probably not - I can confirm I've got this issue too, after upgrading to JB. I can't see why so many with the same problem would mean that all our phones are faulty.

Has anyone got a resolution for this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulzero:
Mine does it too.. Its just cause of too low ram or something. Never had this problem on S2. This is just samsungs way of saying "upgrade to the S4"

This phone would be brilliant without all these microlags because of low ram..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorthernNoel:
Same for me since the JB upgrade in Poweramp and Play music. I thought it was something to do with my setup but had the sudden death failure on my phone so started with a clean install when it came back. Problem is still there with my new 32GB mboard and I haven't done any restores of apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
It seems like some apps when they give ask CPU ( or RAM ) for something, the focus shifts from the music to that.

Like when weater widget asks polls for weather or something.

Funny how my 6 years old SE Walkman w800i was able to play for hours without a micro shutter.

And this almighty phone can't do a simple task,

It's worse when I try to browse and play music.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorthernNoel:
I agree. I've noticed it mainly when getting notifications through. It seems to me that it's down to bad RAM management. My Desire had less ram but played music fine with ICS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
Reply ****ing frustrated with the phone.

Can't even listen to song on PowerAmp while surfing Facebook in the app or browse lightly on Dolphin .

The songs start to shutter at random places.

And if I press home button, Nova launcher reloads.

I'm on stock LLC with stock kernel.. Rooted.

Any solutions?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_saez:
Same problem here . It's so annoying. Given the great number of people with the same problem, I don't think it is a phone problem but a JB one!! Please!!! Help!!! I already tried changing the buffering size and even though it did help a little, I still get some stuttering!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorthernNoel:
Here's what I think I've worked out so far.

The problem has only arisen since JB and was fine in ICS. A change of handset has the same issue with a clean install of JB.

It seems to happen across different music apps but tunein radio is fine so isn't a specific audio app. Could be that it's linked to a particular file format, e.g. mp3?

When it happens in Poweramp I can see the buffering constant, it never fully loads. Increasing the buffer size and priority doesn't help.

Notifications can make it stutter but it seems that the problem is already there beforehand from the buffering.

Clearing RAM doesn't seem to help, however rebooting the phone will improve it for a while.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfi3:
I had the same problem.

Deleting the musicplayer widget on the homescreen fixed my problem.

Try deleting it or any other widget you have on your homescreen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorthernNoel:
Think I've got a solution in poweramp. After a reboot go to settings/misc/tweaks and select keep service. It hasn't had any skips since I've done that and battery life/performance still seems OK. Early days yet though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cayenne101:
Came across this :

The latest update for Winamp includes a fix for music “stuttering” on devices powered by Android 4.2.x Jelly Bean. This has been identified after applying update 1.4.8 and it's caused by frequent notification updates.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyle07:
I, too, have this EXTREMELY annoying bug. It occurs irrespective of kernel or music player.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gman82:
Thank you so much for the tip on this :) This is the first site where my exact problem has been described, and this is the only practical solution I've found.

I bought a Sony Xperia E (running Jelly Bean) about 4 weeks ago and have had this 'stutter' problem with music playback. I'd tried everything - both bundled music apps, 3 different ones downloaded from the Play store, as many different methods of loading music onto the phone as I could think of (including synching apps I had to pay for), factory and settings resets - everything!

Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon, but if performance on my commute home is anything to go by Winamps seems to have done the trick. Also have suppressed as many app notifications as possible, although as Play Music still stutters despite that, I'm not sure it's made much difference. Fingers crossed this has sorted it.

I know my phone is at the cheaper end of the spectrum but I didn't expect this kind of issue from Android. Phones have had mp3 functionality for long enough now that they shouldn't have these kind of problems. Good on Winamps for providing a solution but it's pretty bad when a third party app has to address problems with the OS....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gourangaman:
I have had this issue with the stock and with revolution HD 40.0 on an i9300.

Tried winamp. Failed to work for me. At the point of seeing how good the Griffin Survivor case is. Only solution I can think of is to reflash my phone to 4.1.2 as that worked with no stuttering. I only hope the apparent (rumored) marchish release of 4.3 sorts his as mp3 playback is one of the things I use most on my phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloksmaurya:
Android 4.3

my s3 phone had no/very rare stuttering till it was on 4.1.2 but it is stuttering a lot after jelly bean 4.3 update, so much so that it is not usable for music anymore so I just carry an ipod shuffle. Also, my phone is slower in switching apps. Winamp doesn't solve the problem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunalfab:
had music stuttering problem on my note 2 n7100 running AOSB 1.2.3

I was thinking that this problem was specific to AOSB ProBAM ROM. Did not know that the problem was inherent to kitkat. Just discovered accidentally that the stuttering was happening only when the notification panel was updating with new notifications. Opened each app which had a notification on constantly and shut it off. It then reduced the stuttering. The winamp solution is even better... Trying it right now, running smoothly for last 5 minutes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barlerer:
Also happens to me and my friend. it happened when I have 4.1.2 and now also on 4.3. it is super annoying, since I am a music man.

I would have used my Ipod but alot of my music is FLAC.

Samsung are a bunch of idiots.

NotificationManagerService triggers and causes audio to stutter. The question is, can this service be disabled (if we can't tamper firmware in any other way)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badjulah21:
Just turn off power saving mode and it will not stutter while playing music when screen is off
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekalebz#:
You just need to disable Auto haptic in settings/sounds

If that doesn't work then enable Mono Audio in Accessibility.

That worked for me.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jola66:
I dont see any options for this. I realize that MS is trying to keep things "simple" and what not, but that doesnt mean everything has to be basic, too simple, and not include options. A lot of their basic features that they provide (and also lock out 3rd party devs from creating a rival app for), ie email, browser, messaging, are just plain basic and dont offer much as far as options.

Sorry for the rant, Ill leave it for another thread. But seriously, can this really not be done?

In the contacts section of the phone app there is a link titled "ICE - Emergency contacts" which I can't seem to get working. Clicking the button does nothing. Does anyone know how to flag certain contacts as ICE contacts? I would like a few to show up in the emergency dialer available when the phone is locked.

I've found numerous threads and how-tos about ICE contacts and android, but I have yet to come across one applicable to sony's rom. The user manual doesn't even mention anything about this function.
