Media Player breaks sound / battery - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi there,
i have a strange phenomenon. When i play audiobook MP3 with the Media Player, it won't continue with the next track although it's in the playlist. Sometimes, when i wait about 1 minute, it goes to the next song, sometimes not and stays in state "playing" at the end of the track not jumping to the next.
So far so bad. When I stop the Media Player now (not terminate app, just going back to home screen) and turn off phone (standby) the battery is empty next morning and it plays no sound anymore.
Neither alarm nor mediaplayer nor anything else i try to play a sound. Only a soft reset helps.
Any ideas? Is it Windows Mobile 6.1 that is that buggy?

up - anybody has the same phenomenon or a solution?
Currently i'm searching alternative players, but mostly freeware is not really quality software

it works ok here, but I'm finding the Diamond to become very sluggish when playing MP3s in the media player, odd and annoying !

Diamond Music Player: music off when screen switch off

Hello All!
I would like to find a solution for a HTC Diamond Music Player problem.
When I play music with this media player and the screen switch off, the player stop too!
I have found a solution for coreplayer but I prefer HTC Diamond Music Player because it's on the homescreen...
THX for answers!
try this: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/screenswitch.shtml
allows you to switch off the screen while listening to your music
THX a lot enfant_terrible1979 !
Solved!
Do you know whether there is a tweak so that no third party application is required?
I found that the problem only ocurrs when I use the built-in speaker to play music.
i dun think so. nver thought of that.
the fm radio works with the screen switched off manually though.
in any case, the app is pretty small in mem so not much of an issue
That's weird.
I play my music through the diamond media player ALL the time with my screen switched off.
What ROM you guys running?
I'm running Elite 3.0 and use the RC E100 for headphones. But seriously I've never had this problem even before this ROM. I've been doing that since the start.
try locking the device when playing music (press the hang up button a couple sec)
the device will lock and eventually turn of the screen while the musics keeps playing
I have been quite happily switching the screen off with the power button when listening to music but suddenly it refuses to switch off until music is stopped. Does anyone know of a registry fix for this perhaps?

mp3 sound "pop" "clipping" issue htc diamond.

Hi!
I love the sound of the Diamond when playing Mp3, but I had this issue from the start, the sound "clips" or "pop" or whatever it is called? when listening to music.
I usually turn the screen off, so this could be some kind of energy saver thing kicking in maybe? because it only occurs one or 2 times and then it seems ok after listening for a while.
I have tried Coreplayer, Slide2Play etc, and it is all the same, random clipping in songs, and nothing is wrong with the files.
Does someone know what this could be? or how to fix it? it is driving me crazy.
Running Original 1.37 Rom SWE
Thanks in advance!
Ps. I have used the search function, but not found anyone with this issue.
EDIT: Did a long test today and it happens all the time, I don't know if "stuttering sound" is a more correct word for this, like you pause the music for a few milliseconds and then resume the song.
Have noone had this on their Diamond? I hope the processor power is enough to play mp3 songs eh?

music Interruption

I use the adapter that came with my ATT fuze to play music in my car. I'm happy that this has no noticable effect on my battery life . (I've only really used the HTC music app that's standard on the device). One issue i'm having though, is that the music undergoes (at what seems to be at random times) pauses. The music picks back up after about 10-15 seconds. I assume this is a software issue? Has anyone else had this happen or know of a fix?
Oh, its not a phone call, text or any other notification. I know the music interrupts for these.

Mine does the exact same thing. Ive used the TF3D player as well as WMP. On both, skips occur.
My music is WMA 192Kbps. I was planning on using this as my primary music player, but i guess ill use my Zune for music (sounds better anyways, but the TP has excellent audio quality, suprisingly). This alone kills its music capability for me.
I would try disabling TF3D and use WMP to play music for a day and see if it continues. Since its the only thing running on my device, it is either that or the device itself.
rom?
Are you using the stock rom? I would like to know if it is likely the rom is the culprit, because I should be flashing a new one soon thanks to all the help I got here. Anyway, I wonder if there are any out there with the Raphael that do not rock the stock rom that could let me know if they experience the same issue. hmm... for once I hope my carrier sucks and its their problem not HTC.

That might be a possibility. Im on JDs rom. Ive used other roms but never tested audio playback with the other roms. As for me, theres skipping with JDs rom. Ive heard of this before with the diamond.
Other oppinions would be great. Even a quick test for those who dont use their phones for music would be greatly appreciated.
try turning off wifi while listening
Ive switched to a new rom (eRice) which is a completely empty ROM built on 20931.
The music still skips using the built in HTC player.
I also tried it out using Pocket Player, setting the buffer to the highest setting and the skips still occur.
WiFi is off. I also had bluetooth off and the skips still occur.
I tried with both players soft resetting into standard home with no TF3D and the skips still occured with both players.
I also attempted to use it while in airplane mode and it still skipped.

HAve you tried moving the music to your phone storage then playing? Have you tried swapping SD memory for something a little quicker?
revalation
I was just thinking. Though I am using the stock rom, I still have kaiser tweaks on it and that has a registry change that affects power: turn of sd when not in use. Its possible that this is it. I'll let everyone know my findings once I test it a few times. studying for finals so I have alot of time sitting around in boderline quiet to hear these things.
findings
First and foremost. Can anyone reading this that has noticed any other links addressing this issue post them please?
I'll start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412065&page=22
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426585&page=6
neither of these solve any solutions, but if you feel you're alone you'll see you're not. But please anyone seeing anything about these issues please post. EVEN IF it is a thread to a Raphael Rom that someone asked and noone reported this issue after testing.
Anyway, my findings:
My phone skips what seems to be every 5 minutes.
HTC MUSIC TAB
Without being plugged on charger:
skips for about one second ONLY 5 minutes after pushing the power button to put it into low power mode.
This happens each time I touch the phone (to change a song)
Plugged on charger:
I tested both in low power mode and keeping the screen illuminated the whole time. It skips all the same. exact same results as before
WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
whether plugged in or not, I did not experience any skip whatsoever.
(only tested music .mp3 files on all tests. sorry that's all i dl)
I was quick to say it's HTC's music tab, but Diamond (TD) users are reporting issues with all types of audio including the turn by turn gps nav voice. I am in finals week and sadly can't mess with installing the garmin software and maps I recieved yesterday, so can anyone confirm that it is all audio interrupted or just music, or best case scenario just the HTC music tab?
maybe this helps,
HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs\Cachesize=16834 (default = 0)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Taskmanager\MemoryThreshold = 67108864 (default= ???)
HKLM\Software\HTC\Audiomanager_Eng\Config\Request_memory = 8388608 (default= 2097152).
it uses more memory but better performance for music Playing!

Did you have this issue that it skips only after 5 minutes (once per time I input a song change or anything else into the phone) with your TP before making these registry changes? or did you have the lag that others are experiencing?
I am getting a skip, but it's just a few miliseconds "hiccup". Happens every 5-10 minutes, gets annoying after a while. Happens in Coreplayer and TCPMP for me, others have reported Pocketplayer and other players do it as well. I am on a stock Sprint ROM.
I have tried a bunch of stuff to get rid of it, but no go. Tried microdrive mode, disabling TF3D, turning off data connection ... a few other things I can't think of right now. No change at all.
I think in a bit I'll try moving a few songs into internal storage and try that. EDIT: No change, still glitches trying a couple songs on internal memory.
Here is the thread I started on PPCGeeks about this, monitor that too: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=47521

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, it did not stop the random skips that would occur. Ive tried even increasing some of those values, but that didnt help either.
Moving my music to internal storage didnt help either. Neither did decreasing the overall file size by using a lower bit rate. The skips arnt long (maybe half a second or less) but they are there, and its enough to refrain me from even using the Pro's music capability.
Even listening to streaming music using Pocket Player caused skips (which is tolerable due to the delivery method). It almost seems any kind of continuous sound causes skipping. But i guess i bought a business tool, not a multimedia or game player. Thanks HTC.
I think that's a general issue. I have it, you have it, we all have it.
Too bad that touch pro/diamond has many fallbacks.

correlation
I believe I found a correlation. After an input into the phone (of any type), using htc music tab or windows media player, then let it "sleep", it will skip once (only once) at exactly 5 min. BUT if I leave windows media player up and running (as in not viewing the home screen or any other app), even when the phone is "sleeping", it will NOT skip. So wadafxup? Any ideas? Can we limit this to a software issue? Perhaps? I hope.
I'm not sure exactly what you are saying there ... what is the correlation?
wmp
basically, windows media player keeps it from skipping once in five minutes. I wanted to see, though, if there is any interruption when using turn by turn gps or any other apps that have audio.

Audio Playback problem on Tilt

Okay, I'm a noob and I admit it. I've been lurking for several months, though, so that has to be worth something! And yes, I did a search before deciding to ask this question.
Anyway, I've unlocked my Tilt although I have not changed the ROM from the stock AT&T load. A few days ago I loaded some MP3's onto my SD card and began trying to use my tilt as an MP3 player. After about 30 minutes of playing using Media Player, the sound suddenly quit. ONLY THE OUTPUT FROM MEDIA PLAYER WAS AFFECTED. I shut down media player and restarted it. No effect. I tried HTC Album. No effect. It required a soft boot to get the sound back. I figured this was a blip, and so I tried again. The same problem occurred again. Rebooted the phone. The third time around, I noticed that the audio seemed to quit right after the music paused while Media player attempted to buffer the file. After buffering was complete, media player continued to play the song, but no more audio. BTW, this is true whether I use a wired head set or try and use the internal speaker.
Does anyone have any idea on how I might fix this problem? It doesn't seem like a media player problem, since HTC album refuses to make noise after this occurs.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Q] Music stops playing while using GPS-software

Hi!
Has anyone else had this strange phenomena with Galaxy S and GPS? Randomly the music player stops playing music while I'm training and using Runkeeper with heavy GPS usage. Same thing has happened with three different players, PowerAMP, Winamp and stock player. Player just pauses the music being played. Sometimes it happens several times during my workout, sometimes maybe once.
Any help appreciated thanks!
This happens to me constantly. Doesn't matter which player I use the music stops once I hit the home screen button.
I'm running the bell froyo jk3 rom.
This also happens a lot to me no matter what music app I use. I generally listen to music in the car with the phone in my pocket so I'm not sure if particular gps software is being used while I'm moving, even if I'm not using Maps or Navigation.
