When listening to MP3 music on my Tilt, I hear an annoying glitch or blip (albeit brief) which occurs every (approx) 3-4 minutes. Though it can be heard thru the Tilt's built in speaker too, it's most evident when heard thru headphones connected via MiniUSB to 3.5" stereo adapter.
If I go back and replay the same musical passage where the glitch occurred, the glitch isn't heard, so the problem isn't in the MP3 file. In addition to playing the music utilizing Windows Media Player, I also installed 3rd party media player: "Pocket Player 3.5" and maximized the audio buffer settings, but this made no difference/improvement.
Considering the fact that a number of other 8925 Tilt owners have also reported the same problem, while prior model 8525 owners report they don't experience this problem, suggests that the 8925 Tilt may possess a unique software/hardware issue (bug?) which needs to be addressed and rectified. This said, are any HTC Kaiser/TyTnII owners experiencing this?
I encourage At&t Tilt & HTC Kaiser TyTnII owners who enjoy listening to music on their Tilt, to please take time to critically listen to music (MP3's) on your phone and report YOUR findings.
Thanks for your input,

No problems with stereo at all-even with bluetooth stereo-not talking about calls-stereo definetly not an issue here. sorry, but cannot repro your issue. Have a 4 gig SD card with 3 gigs of tunes that I listen to all the time, no issue like you report.
Alemaker, first of all, great to hear you're not experiencing music playback problems on your Tilt. That said . . .
The problem I'm experiencing has nothing to do with stereo at all, but a glitch (blip or skip sound) heard every 3-4 minutes while listening to MP3 music. It's most evident heard thru headphones (connected to Tilt utilizing a usb to 3.5" stereo adapter) but can also be detected when played directly via the Tilt's built in speaker as well.
Here are a couple of links to threads on the AT&T- HTC forum where others have reported this same problem:

I admit, I have noticed this also. And yes, its not a glitch with the song. The files are fine. It's seems more like a time-based issue, or perhaps a buffering issue.
And yes, I noticed it with the HTC audio player, WMP, and PocketPlayer. It doesn't bother me much, but I definitely notice it, like you say, every 3-4 min or so. And it happens with BT A2DP or with wired headphones. It is very brief (like not even 100 ms.). I'm reading all my music from a 6GB Sandisk Class 4 MicroSD card. But it happened with my old 2GB MicroSD card also.
Try this. Lately, using PocketPlayer, I haven't noticed it as much. I set the cross-fade on for 4 seconds, and I don't think it happens as much if at all. This again leads me to think it's something to do with buffering...But I have no idea. It does bother me slightly, but not enough to get concerned about. I mostly listen to music while I'm working out, so I just ignore it...

Just not happening for me, but I know exactly what you mean. Skipping at regular intervals. I'll listen closer,but haven't heard it yet. Doesn't mean it's not happening on some sets-just not on all
Could Music Playback Glitch be tied to specific OS ROM Version?
Realizing the fact now that some Tilt owners are experiencing the problem whiles others aren't, is making me wonder if perhaps the problem may have to do with what specific OS (Rom version) is installed on your Tilt:
My AT&T Tilt's OS version is:
Rom version: 1.57.502.2
Rom date: 8/25/07
Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H
Alemaker & jomo25: curious to know what OS (ROM version) is installed on your Tilt?
ROM check procedure:
Start > Settings > System Tab > Device Information
Thanks, Jazz
I also get this on my v1615. Not as often as every 3-4 minutes, but if I listen to a whole album it will happen a couple of times. I'd say the first time it happens would be around the 4 minute mark though as it usually skips in the first or second track.
Rom version: 1.56.161.4
Rom date: 9/12/07
Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H
I get this too on my Vario III. It's not quite long enough to be annoying, but it is enough to be noticeable.
I've only been using the HTC media player and assumed it was a problem with that. Apparently not though.
if you use pocket player.... under advanced optiones, set decoder priority above normal to see if it helps!
I get the blip too! Ever so slightly annoying, but releived its not just my Kaiser.
T-Mobile Vario III
ROM version: 1.56.110.4

Same Issue Here
I also have the same problem with brief skips during MP3/WMA playback.
Since my Tilt was running the HTC WWE Ship Rom within 15 minutes of arriving, I cannot say if the problem exists on the stock AT&T rom.
However, I have experienced this issue on the WWE HTC rom, austinsync's BIGstorage rom, and XDA-Live 1.0 rom.
Could it possibly be an issue with the pagepool size?
Are you listening to music that 'mixes' in to the next track such as dance music? For some reason there has always been a glitch as it starts the next song, no matter what player or ROM. The only answer i found was to convert the whole album to 1 single track.

I have about 70 songs from a bunch of different artists. I usually hear the "gap" at random times in random songs, but never near the beginning or end of a track.
I'm having the same problem with my Tilt with the stock ROM and using TCPMP. Can't say as it bothers me much, but it is happening.

Alemaker-
Tilt XDA-Live v 1.0
sorry, still not having issues, can't repro this at all
I had that problem on my TyTN II! But I fixed it eventually.
Mine was caused by S2U2. After a couple of seconds S2U2 would activate even while playing music. That caused the glitch in sound. I simply removed S2U2 and that solved it.
Hope this helps you!
TILT "Skipping Sound"
I am experiencing "Skipping" sound too, VERY ANNOYING. We should have brought a Nokia 95 (Unlock) or IPhone. Learn and live. Owners of the IPhone and Nokia 95 are not having audio skipping problem. There is a design flaw in the circuit. Remember the Tilt is "First" generation. We will have to wait for Tilt version IX for the audio to be skip free.
The Solution: Buy an ITouch for X'mas. The audio is "PERFECT".
Frustrated Audiophile,
steve
Hi-
I've been trying to debug this issue for about 2-3 months now.
I'm using this ROM on my Kaiser:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496555
As you'll see I posted a lot of activity on that thread regarding music skipping. To avoid continuing to clobber that thread, I'm opening this new one.
Currently I'm using Shifu's V10 ROM on that page and the recommended Radio that he is using.
Here's the jist of my problem: I've probably tried 10 or so different M2D ROMs from various cooks in the last couple of months. I don't know if my problem is M2D related, but with all of these, whether I'm using HTC Audio Manager or S2P, music doesn't skip with Motorola HT820 headphones which is good. However, when I'm in my car and connected to *two* devices at once via bluetooth (built in car kit for phone calls, audio gateway for music), I get the intermittent music skip.
I've tried *everything*:
- different ROMs
- Messed with advanced config bitpool settings, OBEX, etc
- FAT32 format of my SD card
- soft reset, killing all running apps before playing music
- turning off all power management of the screen and the device
- trying to let the music play in the car by itself without changing songs
I never used to have this skip issue with an old Dutty ROM I used. That ROM was Dutty's Hybrid V2 that had radio 1.65.14.06. This ROM wasn't a M2D ROM though as it's older.
I guess it could be coincidental that rather than being a new radio/ROM issue, that maybe I'm experiencing hardware issues with the audio gateway or something (it's been out in the sun and has gotten hot a couple times). I guess I can maybe try going back to Dutty's Radio, but I don't know what affects that may have on this current, newer ROM.
If anyone can help please let me know! This is the *only* issue I've been having with this new ROM (which I don't even know if it's ROM-specific or just radio related or HW combination).
Thanks a lot,
David
I think it's solved
power lines are doing it....

Try another RADIO, when you flash a ROM, the wrong radio could cause music to skip, the camera not to work and just overall silly perfomance. You can search XDA for the Ultimate Radio page which has AlLLLLLLLLL of them. Good Luck....
Hi everyone!
I'm new to my Galaxy S and to this forum as well, I really hope you can help me. Galaxy S is my first smartphone, and I'm truly amazed, it's almost like a PC-Replacement device.
I have a tiny bit of a problem though:
I listen a lot of FM-Radio while I'm on the go, and sometimes I would like to know (and save) a song's artist and title. Therefore I looked around, and found Shazam (and SoundHound) on the Market for music recognition. Unfortunately, they both fail to work together with the FM-Radio. As soon as I start tagging/recognizing the music playing on the radio, it mutes, and the programs only record the noises around me
I tried it on my friend's LG Optimus (1.6, Vodafone, default), we had no troubles at all, Shazam nicely recognized all the songs from the radio.
I think the source of the problem is, that the Galaxy S' radio is very basic, and has no recording function, but I'm not sure about that, please reinforce or deny me. If there is any way to make it work, I'm all ears
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem with Samsung Galaxy 5. With 2.1 it worked fine, but after updateing to 2.2 it mutes while tagging, like you described. Also I noticed on 2.1, when radio was playing and when I started a music player, then the radio would stop playing, which was great, on 2.2 the radio won't stop and I have two different sources playing, annoying. It's definitely a software problem and unfortunatly thera are no other FM-Radio apps to try it out.
On HTC Wildfire 2.1 it also doesn't work.
Has anyone found an actual fix for this issue?
Clearing cache, unpairing, and resetting have not worked.
Someone please help!
This issue is driving me nuts!!!
S5 Bluetooth Potential Fix
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A running Android 4.4.4 KitKat, and the bluetooth audio has been skipping constantly when it is paired with my car stereo. This issue has driven me absolutely crazy for months. I've literally come close to throwing my phone out the window.
I first thought it was an issue with buffering when streaming from Google Play since those files are all high-quality 320 kbps, but then I realized playing music directly off of my phone also skipped. Next, I thought it might have been the bluetooth receiver in my stock 2012 Toyota Tacoma radio, so I even upgraded my radio to a Pioneer FH-X720BT.
I've been searching and searching online forums for an answer but no luck yet. I also thought it might've been an issue with Android 4.4.2 and was anxiously anticipating AT&T coming out with a software update in the US. Well, it finally came yesterday and guess what? Bluetooth audio has STILL been skipping.
I figured it had to be something else like CPU availability -- like my phone just didn't have the oomph to stream audio via bluetooth. I downloaded the free GSam Battery Monitor from the app store to see what was using my phone's CPU the most. Once it was downloaded, I went to "App Usage" and then under the top menu "View CPU Minutes Used." I thought it was weird that my Alarm Clock Xtreme app was at the top along with Android System, Kernel (Android OS), and the Intellicast weather app. I uninstalled the Alarm Clock and Intellicast apps and so far the frequency of skips is much lower -- 4 whole songs with no skips on my drive home. Not sure if this will work for you, but try disabling or uninstalling apps that use the CPU the most.
Android should really come out with a better solution for this issue instead of me having to figure out which third-party apps (that I frequently use, btw) that I have to get rid of. I listen to music all the time from my phone via bluetooth, and I am almost frustrated enough to go back to the dreaded iPhone (at least its freaking bluetooth works seamlessly). You'd think there would be some kind of CPU task management prioritization that would put Bluetooth Sharing at the VERY TOP (sort of like task manager in Windows where you can increase/decrease CPU priority). Anyone else got any better ideas? I've considered rooting, but I'm stuck with stock since it's an AT&T phone. If only complex technologies would just WORK..
I was having skipping on both Bluetooth and via aux cable, although I primarily use aux. After much trouble shooting, I finally reflashed from scratch and haven't had the problem since...aux or the limited Bluetooth I use. Of course I'm rooted and thought it must have been something I screwed up, but my phone acted a little screwy even before I ever rooted.
Yeah, this issue has driven me absolutely crazy since I upgraded back in May from my S3, which never had this problem in the slightest. I've tried everything I can think of short of a fresh install from absolute scratch. I'm on unrooted stock (4.4.2 at the moment - 4.4.4 has failed to update the couple times I've tried today). I've been hoping AT&T would get Lollipop rolled out and that it would somehow help whatever annoying glitch is causing this issue, but the fact that 4.4.4 only JUST pushed out from them makes me doubt AT&T will get Lollipop out in any sane amount of time.
I've tried settings in apps like Poweramp for it to use highest priority, but that makes no difference. This is such a basic thing to be so screwed up. I've watched process monitors while it does it, and there's no obvious reason for it. CPU usage seems fine while it's glitching. Nothing is consistently showing in the log when it's happening. I have essentially given up hope of every figuring out what is causing this.
When (if) Lollipop rolls out from AT&T for the S5, I'll see if that upgrade somehow finally helps fix this glitch (assuming that upgrade doesn't keep failing like the 4.4.4 one does). If not, I'll do a fresh install. And if I'm doing that, I'll probably do a custom ROM if I'm gonna go through all that effort...
Bluetooth Audio Buzzing Noise on Pioneer Stereo
So I contacted Pioneer, Samsung, and Crutchfield regarding the issue of bluetooth audio skipping and/or making an extremely loud buzzing noise for 3-5 seconds while streaming from my Galaxy S5.
Pioneer alluded to requiring the ground cable needing to be directly grounded the chassis instead of the factory ground wire. This really didn't make sense because this issue only persists when playing via bluetooth -- not USB, radio, Aux, etc. Plus, the factory ground wire IS connected to the frame anyway, and Crutchfield, BestBuy, and local car audio installers all said they would ground it to the black factory ground wire.
Tonight, Samsung said that this was a known issue, but only related to Pioneer radios. I ended up finding a bluetooth firmware upgrade to my radio on Pioneer's website. My current Bluetooth Version listed on the head unit display is A820, and the firmware update is for A860. Samsung said this should resolve my issue, so I'm going to give it a shot. They also said that the Android Lollipop 5.0 update from AT&T would address this known issue. I saw on another android forum that AT&T reported the update will be release in February this year, but they didn't have a specific date.
If this doesn't work, I'll try putting my phone in Safe Mode and stream audio over bluetooth. If that fixes the issue, then I'll have to painstakingly narrow it down to one or more 3rd-party apps. Typically, I force stop all 3rd-party background processes and only run GSam Battery Monitor, Clean Master, Twilight, and Nova Launcher.
Bluetooth Audio Buzzing Noise on Pioneer Stereo
So I finally put my S5 in safe mode to rule out 3rd party apps, and the Pioneer HU still did that weird, intermittent buzz glitch for about 1 second. The same thing happened today when streaming from my iPad, so now it seems like the android bluetooth wasn't the culprit after all.. I think it must be the cheap SocBlue Bluetooth module Pioneer puts in their radios. Several reports on other forums point out these on-going issues with Pioneer. Sound quality is great for radio or CD, but I warn you: DO NOT buy a Pioneer car stereo if you plan on frequently using a Bluetooth audio connection. I contacted Crutchfield tonight and will be swapping out the Pioneer FH-X720BT for a Kenwood DPX500BT. Hopefully this is the last time I'll have to deal with this kind of issue.
I did this with my iPhone and it worked!!!
Goto settings > bluetooth
press the little info icon on the right side of the FH-X720 or FHX-820BS paired device tile
This will open up a settings view.
Turn Off the Sync Contact feature
I have just got my P20 Pro, it seems like a great phone so far, but I have one nagging issue.
When I connect my phone to my car's (2015 BMW 3 Series) Bluetooth the now playing metadata of the audio being played is not being passed correctly. So if I play audio from Google Play Music or Pocketcasts the head unit on my car will show either Unknown Track or the track data of the first item on the album or the playlist. The audio itself sounds fine and I am able to skip tracks, select new albums from the car's controls, so it seems some information is being passed correctly, it is just that the info of the track that is currently playing seems to not be working.
Has anyone else encountered this?
At this point I have to assume it is the phone, as my Galaxy S6, S7 & S8's all worked, but I guess it is technically possible that could have been a workaround put in by BMW as they were such popular phones. Hopefully Huawei will sort this out, it may be an underlying Oreo issue as threads like this suggest that Bluetooth issues were around when 8.0 launched https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/E9Q2lyFYRgI
I have done some more digging on this issue and I suspect that is might be something to do with the Bluetooth AVRCP version that the phone is using. Normally in Android (since 8.0) you could adjust the AVRCP version from within Developer Options, but for some reason this is not available on this phone. My Galaxy S8 was using AVRCP 1.4, so I suspect that this phone is using 1.5 or 1.6 and my car does not like it.
I have emailed Huawei to ask for clarification. At this point it is the only real issue I have with the phone, but it will annoy me if it isn't resolved quickly. I'm going to pester BMW too to see what versions of AVRCP they officially support.
Don't have these issues in the car, head display current track etc via Bluetooth ... Use this in a Nissan
Everything works as it should with my Pioneer headunit using Spotify
I just posted something related (possibly) in the RAM/Battery Management thread - I have issues with the Audi MMI Connect app, losing connectivity and so on.....does seem that the P20 Pro handles Bluetooth (no rsap?) and background process management quite differently to my previous phone (Galaxy S8+)....also hoping quick resolution, as love the phone!
Search facility not working in car
Hi
I've just put music onto my P20 pro and it plays fine on the device and the car, however, I can't use the search facility on the car (BMW, 3 series, 2017) to change track. I can do this on the phone. Any suggestions? I put the music onto the 'Music' app (dragged and dropped from my iTunes folder- don't know if this is relevant. Any help would be greatly appreciated as without being able to use the car's search facility and come in and out of albums/ artists is useless. Should I have put the music into somewhere else?

P20 PRO and BMW - bluetooth issue
Bojanglez, did you find a solution? I got the same issue with P20 PRO and BMW X4... so it seems a problem linked to that phone connected to the BMW multimedia system.
With my previous phone, an ASUS Zenfone, everything was fine.
It may be a BMW issue to, maby P20 pro isn't compatible with BMW or Audi. I know that some manufacturers put all in to be compatible with ios and some larger manufacturers of phones. It could be that car manufacturers don't test Huawei phones and don't support them.

No Huawei Garbage bloatware issue, my is random something is normal, most times it plays music but gets stuck on providing music playing info.
Same issue here with my 2016 Toyota rav4. It plays the first track and shows the metadata but then as the tracks keep playing the metada remains the one of the first song. Definitely an issue with Huawei. Their music player works just fine. I think it has to do with the poor Google integration and their need to force that half baked apple wanna be emui down our throats. It should be Oreo but looks and feels like gingerbread.
Hi all, I have an update. I have resolved the issue, but not quite sure which of the following specifically fixed it.
Huawei software update
Renamed by phone in Bluetooth settings
Updated to the latest BMW firmware (from their site)
Messed with some of the Bluetooth settings in Developer Options on the phone
Unfortunately I did all these at pretty much the same time so I can't say for certain which one fixed it, I think it was the Huawei software update as after I updated my BMW firmware I still had the same issue and also in other BMWs I tried. I also noticed that the Bluetooth was dropping constantly in my wife's Puegeot 3008 so that's why I played with the Developer Options. For anyone interested I havethe following now set:
Codec: SBC
sample rate: 44.1khz
channel mode: Stereo
LDAC playback quality: 990kbps/909kbps (optimised for connectivity quality)
HWA playback quality: Best effort (400KB Optimised for connectivity)
HWA Latency: 50-100ms
So I now have track information and basic controls using Google Play Music and Pocketcasts. It does not seem to like letting me browse my library though, but it is at least functional.
Also I changed my car, this was not because the BT didn't work It worked in my 2015 3 series before I changed it. I now have a 2018 4 series and the behaviour is the same, track listing and skip functionality but no browsing.
I have installed the most recent firmware update on my 2 Series 2017, I see two fundamental issues. One is, by using your phone normally, no issues should arise most of the time but still random sync issues with metadata can occur. The second issue is, no matter how good your phone behave and how well synchronized the metadata is, once you open Android Auto app, everything goes to hell and you are back in square one.
To fix it, you should deactivate auto start when connected in the app (or not using it at all), erase your car from devices in bluetooth config within your phone. Erase your phone from the list in your car. Change the phone name. Start over with the synching process. Check for correct metadata in the car. If not working repeat. That should fix the problem eventually.
If you like very Android Auto very much, get used to see the songs information in your phone screen rather than the car.
I am also having the same problem, Huawei P20 Pro and Sony XAV-601BT head unit. I've tried enabling all the permissions in Spotify, cycling the connections, renaming the phone.
i have Pixel 3xl with Android 10, - Bluetooth connects fine there is no metadata - song info. this problem started with 8.1 Android version and I have not been able to get it to work. I really cant believe google cant fix this issue or even aware of it. plenty of threads on google. I think they all use Iphone, i am guessing ...this is very annoying. I have change the avrcp version from 1.4 to 1.6. no luck, also I read that turn off battery optimization on Bluetooth. no luck. anyone else here having similar issue??
