When listening to a sermon, if you receive a phone call it doesn't stop the message. Both the phone call and the message are on at the same time. There should be something within the app that triggers the stop button when receiving a phone call.
Other than that I LOVE the app. Use it almost daily.
Thank you for writing. We are glad that you are enjoying the app. Have you tried the "Use External Player" option? That will use Android's own native player and may handle these scenarios.

I have a Droid 2 as well and this morning coming to work mine froze up. Then I could not get it to stop running in the background, even when using my AppKiller. Also, when I rotate the phone SermonAudio does not auto rotate with it. Any suggestions. I am new to this, but I don't think WIFI mode would work too well when driving. I do love the App, hope it can be fixed.

Have a Samsung Epic. Love the app! But Sometimes stops video or audio after a few minutes. Also sometimes cannot stop playing a sermon because audio player controls lock up and I have to power down. Any suggestions please.

I have the same problem with timing out after about 8 minutes. Then you have to drag the slide bar back to reset then guess where it was that you stopped so you can drag it back. This is very hard to do while driving! Tried to listen to sermons on a recent road trip. Frustrating indeed.
Thanks for your help.

I did not try the External player option but I will do so. I did switch on the wi-fi for my phone and was able to listen to a sermon for a little while longer but it did stop about 8 minutes into it. I'll keep you posted on the Extrernal Player outcome.
Thanks!

We are aware of some issues with the Motorola Droid involving streaming video with our app. But this is the first we've heard of this problem specifically. Anyone else care to share their experiences?

Our recommendation would be to try accessing the sermons via the WIFI connection. Usually, these kinds of issues are indicative of network-related problems. Perhaps a bad signal, or perhaps some other carrier-imposed limitation. WIFI will bypass the carrier. You can also try downloading the sermon for listening offline.

I have a Droid2 and was so excited to see SermonAudio offered as an app. However, the sermons are stopping short of 12-15 minutes! Why is this happening? Do you know how frustrating it is to be in the middle of a powerful message and not knowing how it ends? I am listening to it with my bluetooth headphones. Do you think that as anything to do with the problem? Any help will be appreciated!

The app sounds awesome! Sadly, my Motorola Cliq is Android 1.5, not 1.6. Is there anything I can do? ):
