While I don't want to start a religious war over who makes the best phones, my experience with LG has been 90% good but 10% full of frustrations like this. I love their clothes washers and optical drives, but after the most recent software update completely killed my G Stylo's GPS for good, I had to admit defeat and replace it. Driving for Lyft just doesn't work without GPS... More on topic for this forum, I found that using SqueezePlayer while on the road (i.e., using the 4G network and a VPN to stream tracks from home) would consistently result in the volume dropping back to the phone's nannyware low-volume setting about 10 seconds before the end of a track. Every track. Every time. I preferred to keep the output volume on the phone at maximum and control what I heard via the car's stereo, but LG just wouldn't allow it. So I could be completely off-base here, but in my experience, LG and SqueezePlayer just don't get along particularly well. Of course, now that I have a Samsung, I can't use SqueezePlayer remotely at all because the OpenVPN client refuses to connect. It's always something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107498 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
