Winamp for Android (current version: v1.4.15)

[midsole]

I've got an S3 i9300 (European UMTS/GSM), and I get stuttering both with stock and custom ROM.

I actually moved from stock ROM to Cyanogenmod 10.1 because I thought it was stock causing the stuttering.

Basic notification definitely helps but does not completely remove stuttering. I tried bumping up the minimum CPU speed from 200 to 400MHZ but that didn't do anything noticeable for me.

Just to help us understand why this stuttering has come about, what changed between 1.4.7 and 1.4.8 (I think that was the update that started all this)?

Process list attached.

Also I've noticede that when you just stop playing a song, Winamp disappears from the notification area after you move back from the app. That's normal. BUT after few minutes the freaking notification bar is always displayed as an advanced thing (with progress bar below) even though I am using the basic one (just controls for skiping tracks).

Those icons still drive me crazy.

I've also noticed spontaneous/phantom presses of the pause button, and jumping inside a track, or even jumping to random points in the next track.

If I could just throw money at the screen for this to be fixed asap I would do it now ;D

I will PM you an address to send the money to.

Getting tons of stutter this morning. The process list was from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running Android 4.1.1 trying all different notification types.

Heres my process list:

they only stutter i have ever seen is at initial playback
starts playing for about 2 seconds then goes back and starts playing back before those 2 seconds
after that i have not had issues with playback other than what egg has confirmed where playback stops in player control mode on any galaxy s type phone
mine will stop playback and when can get playback to start up again it goes back to the about the 5th previous song and plays that again
since going to basic notification bar issue stops
other way is making sure that the app is in the foreground
at first i thought it was the autokill from task manager to free ram
wish i knew that before :P

1.4.11 now released on Google Play

Should hopefully fix 99% cases of:
- stuttering/choppy playback
- random stops/crashing in background and returning to previous song/position, etc.

Hooray to Winamp Devs everywhere.
I wish that I actually had a problem so it could be solved and I could be even more excited than I already am.
I cannot wait to see what 2.0 brings!

[robdog2004]

strange though the temporary beta fixed the issue and now released version brings issue back
dont know what changed between the 2
if using advanced notifier song stops after a few seconds of second song then goes back to first song
use basic notifier no issue
sounds like galaxy phones just give winamp a hard time

samsung galaxy stratosphere 2
android 4.2

ok seems clean install helped fix the earlier issue

[DJ Egg]

Hmm, interesting.
A clean install shouldn't be required.... but it fixed your stuttering issue when using the Notification Player Controls?

[robdog2004]

so far yes that is true

edit
nm it returned
on advanced controls
basic notifier still works

[DJ Egg]

Hmm, ok. Damn.... :-(

There's plenty of reports on google play of it being fixed, but still some cases (like yours) that say it isn't.
So maybe it's not 99% cases, but closer to 75%

Other than a slight glitch with the widget (which is a longer-standing issue that we'll hopefully fix for the next release)
we typically can't reproduce it on any of our test devices....

[robdog2004]

it's like its limited to samsung
next version works ok just wants to be updated to release version now (it has its own issues)
and changes in google wants to force all phones to auto update
