Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

yes! and i am adding my vote

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

Yep! It Happens

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

Gooosh! i thought i'm the only one! so it's a confirmed bug after all!

even though N900 still Rocks ;-)

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

yeah i did notice this too. but to start it up again, i just had to manually open the media player and play a song then click back to the desktop and it works again..

but i dont want to keep doing this as it is repetitive

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

added my vote, had that alot.

I still have to check if it has something to do with me going into offline mode during the night.

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

same here i thought i was the only one it happen to lol

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

Bug 5894 was already filed for this behaviour. I have not experienced rthis bug since flashing the sales release f/w. Still testing though.

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

I can't understand why there are so many bugs with the N900. Wern't they supposed to have handed like 300 pre released handsets out for people to test. Surely some of these people would have picked up on these bugs... Seems not. Might have known it would come down to the actually users who have spent all their hard earned cash one one!

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

Not to sound contrary, but bug 5894 was filed on Oct 29, 2009, well before any sales start.

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

well looks like it wasn't as it happens on my device at least daily - with the latest firmware

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

Can you remove the media player widget from the desktop, and then re-add it. Re-test for this behaviour after doing that. Since upgrading to the sales release (1.2009.42-11), I have not seen this happen. But I am looking out for it so that I can add any further information to bug 5894.

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

yup this as happened to me too on several occasions with latest firmware,

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

same here... i knew it was a but. Only way to resume play was to actually go open the media player and play from there.

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

"guys, this stuff is not supposed to work! its a mobile computer, not a smartphone/media device"

i'm waiting for someone to even try and use that as an excuse.

so this bug was filed in oct 29, 2009. And they never thought of FIXING it before releasing this damn phone? isn't this what the one month delay was for? to fix broken stuff?

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

I also have this problem where the player widget doesn't play, but previous and next song buttons work. I got the newest firmware, so not sure what's up.

The work around for now is that I can delete the media player widget on the desktop and re-add the widget back. It works fine again...not sure how long it will remain workable though.

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

yeah i do what mobilefan does sometimes, but it only works for a few hours then i have to restart the widget or reopen the player and redo it

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

why has this bug been removed from bugs.maemo.org?????? this is still an issue sinse it comes with the factory unit isnt it??????

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

+1 play button stops working after a while, latest UK firmware came with device. Removing then readding widget works, but then eventually stops working again.

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

It hasn't been removed in any way. Just marked as a duplicate.
(This allows everybody to focus and keep things together.)

And please: use question marks sparingly, looks not so good :rolleyes:

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

Perhaps the amount of resources to fix bugs is limited? Quality control, final packing and distribution take a LOT of additional time, too.
The bug is not appearing always, only sometimes. So it's more difficult to find.
And perhaps they had other priorities? (More urgent bugs etc.)

Be patient - we will soon get another firmware update, and the device also features over-the-air software updates that will arrive in due time, too.

I see no reason for damnation with my N900 :D

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

I had this issue with the latest Firmware since day one. Reflashed the phone and have not had the issue again in the last 4 days, it might brake again but it has't yet. Its actually working realy well now.

Re: Music player widget- play button stops working
 

has there been a fix for this yet? I have this problem and I have the latest firmware. The restart of the widget seems to work for now.
