johnbyebye Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hello everyone, I was a member of the Oreo beta program for the Galaxy S8 in the U.S. Throughout the beta program Poweramp v704 was working fine with the occasional crash. However, suddenly Poweramp no longer works at all. I have done everything I can think of including a factory reset, but it opens to a blank screen and ends up crashing. I picked up a Note 8 and am having the same issue after flashing an Oreo build. Installing the Play Store version yields the same results. I am at a loss and at this point I don't think there's anything I can do to get it working, but I was hoping smarter minds might have some ideas. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrewilley Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 There are issues in 8.1 with notifications, but the basic app itself (both the stable and alpha builds) should run fine. Are you running a stable release version of Oreo on both of these devices? Have you tried a clean re-install of the app? Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnbyebye Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 They are both Beta builds at the moment so I'll have to wait a week or two until the final release is out to see if that resolves it. Both builds are certified though. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app if that's what you mean. How do I perform a clean install? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrewilley Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 That's what I meant, uninstalling rather than trying to install the alpha over the regular version for example. Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andre Ah gotcha. Yeah, I tried that. I'll report back after I receive the official build. Strange that it was working then suddenly broke though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ohaness Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I just received official Oreo build on my Verizon S8+. I finally tried to use the 703 abd 704 Alpha version and it freezes. I see the Poweramp logo and it sits there. Deleted and reloaded... No success. Had to revert to removing myself from the Beta program, and load the regular Playstore version with unlocker. Maybe the new version due April 2018 will work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I figured the beta Oreo software had nothing to do with it. You're still having the issue on the official build. I think it's an issue with Samsung's Oreo in general. As soon as I receive an official build I will try to get it to work again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rswiders Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Just to confirm, I have a T-Mobile S8+ with Oreo. I have noticed the same, but just a little information that might help. If I have just turned on the phone from being powered off, Poweramp v3 build 703 will start up fine as long as it is not trying to start with headset/Bluetooth attached. After it starts I can connect either and hit play and it will work fine for that session. Once the app goes into sleep mode or is closed with the "all apps" feature, it will freeze up and force me to power down and restart the phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnbyebye Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 I finally got it to work! Here's what I did: I used the APKs as I was still getting the blank screen with the play store version. I did not uninstall each version prior, I just installed them on top of each other. 1) Install V2 588/589 2) Install V3 703 Alpha 3) Install V3 704 Alpha Now it works, but I still run into the occasional problem where I have to restart to get it working again like others stated.. However, I'll take this over it not working at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magadaner Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Please uninstall Poweramp Trial and Unlocker, restart your device and update Poweramp (trial - which is the main app) from Poweramp site - http://powerampapp.com/download-poweramp or install Poweramp Alpha.

Best advice I have at the moment is to keep trying or stick with v2 for now.

Use the attached APK's and follow the instructions I had above. There is no "official" fix at the moment, I just kept fiddling with different combinations until I got it to work. It was working on the beta software. I just performed the same steps on the official Oreo and it works as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pauldamo Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Strange that you are having problems,I have note8 and s8 with oreo on both and PA is working fine but I don't have option for hires on both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'm on a clean note 8,with OREO, and every time I open version 3 beta it locks device and screen. It did not do it it on 7.1.1 nougat. This needs attention. I love the player, but one that works with note 8 Oreo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martin Medrano Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I installed both Apks and it still does not work 588 and 703 from the tab they provided Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried doing a full uninstall and then installing 588 (some people have reported it's worth trying with 585)? Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 where to find 588 the one that crashes is v3 beta that has the visual animated graphics. all worked on nougat but freezes device regardless of uninstall reinstall. my device is a new note 8. yes note 8 fully functional' strange thing is when i clear cache and force stop v3 beta, it works until i close it , then opening again it locks up and wont work till i clear and force.
