Is it possible to make a lighter version of XiiaLive?
I'm struggling with app storage space on my now-getting-old HTC Hero, and XiiaLive is one of the biggest apps that I don't use quite as frequently as all the other big apps (like facebook, Google Maps, SoundHound). I don't really want to get rid of XiiaLive, and I'm not yet ready to root my phone to upgrade its OS to something that allows me to use apps2sd (though I don't even know if XiiaLive supports that)... so my next option is to ask if there is any possible way you could make a much lighter version of the app... maybe reduce the quality of some graphics, or store them on the sd card? maybe reduce functionality to just the bare minimum required for streaming a radio station? I don't know... I'm just brainstorming here, trying to figure out a way to have all the apps I love on the phone I'm not quite ready to get rid of or root.

It's interesting your idea. Currently we do support move to SD card. So if you where to have it upgraded that would work perfectly. As of now creating a lite version seems possible but I can't promise you anything. I'll leave this as under review so that we can come back to this idea later on.

Are you having issues finding the app on the Android Market? Or are you not able to stream stations anymore? If unable to stream station could you try MPEG and AAC format stations?

Bluetooth (A2DP) Volume Issue
Thank you for a great program!
When connected via A2DP in my car (using Blackberry's Stereo Gateway and my Nexus One) XiiaLive's volume control stops working and audio levels are very high and distorted. With some messing around I was able get "normal" audio levels out of XiiaLive and the internal volume controls worked, but immediately following a phone call the volume returned to distorted levels. I was only able to accomplish this while the phone was on battery power and not connected to the car dock.
I have tried the same experiments using the native music player but the volume levels are always "normal" and not distorted. No matter what I do I cannot reproduce the issue outside of XiiaLive.
I have ruled out the BT gateway because I have used it successfully with other devices. No amount of rebooting or updating makes a difference either.
Thanks again.

At the moment we don't officially support local file playback. We are mainly a remote media streaming app. We did however change various things since your last post that could have improved local media playback. If you have any other questions please let us know.

Not a bug
Sometimes volume is at max for a short moment after starting a stream
Probably since the last update (the issue is relatively new) I have the following problem:
After starting a stream, the volume is at max. for a very short moment (a few 100 milliseconds?) which is very uncomfortable if you're using headphones.
I have disabled the seperate volume control, so the music should be played with the general system volume.
Phone is a Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.2, the stream was 128kpbs MP3.

After doing some research and trying multiple methods to avoid this issue it was seen that this was a bug with the Android OS caused by the internal media server. This has been resolved on various devices after receiving new Android updates. We are unable to resolve this issue on our end. Hopefully this issue has been resolved on your devices.

We are currently working to provide widgets on the Android Market separate from XiiaLive. This should allow you to install to SD card and be able to use the widgets.

Internet streams unstable since upgrading to 4.4.2 on Note2
I am running the latest pro version (3.2.0.8) on Android 4.4.2. Everything worked great on Android 4.2. However, since upgrading the OS, I have the following issues:
1) If I select Android as the streaming engine, the stream will start and stick at 99% buffering forever.
2) If I select ffmpeg, it will randomly stop working about 5 to 10 minutes and will report "Service Crashed".
The stream I am using is 24Kps mp3. It does require authentication too if that makes a difference.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Hey, we have updated the app a few times with some important changes to our FFMpeg stream engine. Please let me know if you still have issue with the latest release v3.3.0.2.
About the Android stream engine issues. Well, this engine is no longer being worked on due to the amount of issues various devices have with it. We have allocated all our time making the FFmpeg stream engine the best engine possible and we highly recommend using it.

Do you or anyone else support Blue Tooth for listening to the radio on Samsung or any other Android phone?
I have the Samsung Galaxy Android and I use Bluetooth. I have a tried one app for listening to the radio but it will not play through the Bluetooth earpiece under any setting. The phone works very well with Blue Tooth. Samsung support says that is up to the developer of the APP to provide Blue Tooth support. Does your APP support Bluetooth? Additionally, can I receive Canadian AM broadcasts such as CBC, etc. on your APP? Thanks for any feed back.

Well it depends on your bluetooth device...
Most ear pieces don't support music streaming and aren't stereo.They only support low bitrate and mono (good for voice calls) so it won't work for listening to music.
If your device does support music streaming though, you can listen to xiialive through bluetooth :)
First (you might have already done this), you have to pair your bluetooth device with your phone.
You can do this by going to your >phone's settings >wireless & networks >bluetooth settings (the location of bluetooth settings might be a little different on your phone).
Once you have your device paired up with your phone, go to xiialive and press on >settings >advanced users >bluetooth options
If your device shows up on the list, it means you have paired it up correctly to your phone. You can tap it to get more options.
You might also have to turn on the "media controls" by going to >settings >user experience.

Phone fails to switch between 1X/3G/4G while streaming
Hi,
Samsung Galaxy Nexus running ICS 4.0.4, Verizon.
I noticed that if you start streaming on 1X, the phone never switches to 3G/4G. Or if you start streaming on 3G, it would never switch to 4G. However, if the speed goes down a level , it will drop for let's sat 4G to 3G. I don't have this problem when the app is not streaming. It seems to get stuck on the speed the stream was started and it won't let the phone go up a level even though coverage is available.
Thanks.

We have done a lot of testing and research. The main issue seems to be with Android OS radio drivers. This is something we are unable to resolve on our side. Newer versions of Android seem to have improved in regards to this issue.

Backup & Restore should include all settings
It's annoying having to reconfigure the whole app any time I reinstall it or switch the device. That includes app settings as well as per-screen configuration (e.g. sorting of favorites).
Having them part of the backup & restore process would be awesome :)
