I'm currently using the NFX ROM, which I generally like a lot. However, I do see the following behavior, which I believe is not specific to the ROM (which is why I'm posting here).
Do any of you find a lag in your Hero when you insert a headphone into your jack? My music app comes up, stalls for about 3 seconds, and is unresponsive. Then it seems to catch up and act normally. This is with the HTC music app, which otherwise works okay. Also, this doesn't happen all the time, about half the time I'd say. But it's really frustrating. The lag doesn't happen when the headset is not plugged in.
I use setcpu ,but i have it set to 480 to 710, so I don't think it's a CPU speed issue from setcpu.
Any ideas?
Clarify, when you plug your headphones in the music app automatically starts?
I use mine every morning when I walk to class. I plug in the headphones, open the music app, and start playing a random song. The music app isnt as fast or responsive as I would like but it doesn't lag bad enough to be an annoyance. I too am on nfx.
Maybe you could try using the other music player. The Android one, not the HTC. It's faster for me but doesn't have the lockscreen controls.

Ok so at work I use my phone as my improved iPod. So lets say I pause the song that I was playing and shut the screen back off. My problem occurs when I unplug the headphones from the jack is that it all the sudden starts playing music again, and the phone doesn't register its playing. I have to quickly goto the music app hit play and pause again to get it to stop.
Anyone else have this?
CM 5.0.5.3
Also ran 5.0.5.1 experimental build
its because the headphone jack supports (4 pin i think) headsets that have the skip/play/pause buttons on them and the headphones you are using prolly are only the 2 pin ones without the extra buttons...
I've defintely reproduced this bug. Im not quite sure what i did that caused it but it was very weird, i had to go to the music app and press play and stop again. At first i brought down the notifications slider and i was like wtf. I am also on 5.0.5.3

Is there anyone that can confirm this? That would be pretty nifty.
Edit - nvm the headphones that come with the nexus have the control thing. Ill test this out to see if it still does the bug.

I also have this bug. Are you using MusicZing Lite? It happens to me all the time, and sometimes I have to restart the phone. It's very annoying.
BTW It happened to me using the stock headphones and my sony inline control headphones so yes I can confirm it happens to 4 pin connetions.
From what I understood though CM said its an app problem.

Nah, I'm just using the stock Music app. =/
On a side note - it happened to me at school last night, should have seen the look on everyones faces when my phone started blasting After the Burial. lol
It just did it to me right now. What i did exactly was i was going to listen to a song on my phone (im at work) with my headphones and so i plugged them in, but then i realized i can just stream it from somewhere on my work computer and so i unplugged them before i even opened the music app and it started playing my music. Hmmm this bug is starting to get annoying.
and my headphones are not 4 pin
Autostarts is available on the market - it should allow you to disable this feature/bug.
I believe it's 'Headset plugged or unplugged' - just disable the Music player and you should be good to go.
Cheers
If you're already happy with MixZing, ^3, or one of the other third party music apps, you could also just delete Music.apk; this also fixes the problem.
(Noted as following: playing music in any app via headphones, stop music, unplug headphones, music would start playing via the music app only; IE, despite not having used music app in that session, I'd have to open it, and play&pause to stop the music).
Problem is now gone, along with Music.apk.
Hi,
The stock music player stops (actually pauses the music) randomly on my Samsung SGS, usually after around 30 mins of playback. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
I'm running 2.2.1 XXJPY on an unlocked 8GB SGS.
I certainly didnt have this issue. Are you using the headphones for listening to music?
Maybe, IMO, the headphones are loose and it is coming out. whenever you pluck out the headphones from the phone, the music pauses.
The headphones appear to be attached quite securely and most of my listening is done at work sitting at a desk. I'll try a different set of headphones though and see if they make a difference.

I am getting this as well even without headphones plugged in. Seems to be random - it can happen within 5 minutes, or it can play for hours without stopping.
This also happens to me, same with Power Amp, Music Mod, and the stock player. It just randomly stops playing every so often, it's very annoying.
I only listen through headphones and I have seen other threads that suggest it is something to do with the contact on the headphones but they are always securely fit in, and it happens on my brother's phone as well.
Most likely it has to do with the contacts.
Try to twiggle the plug a bit while listening to something. If music stops it's the plug.
I experience this issue with PowerAMP and the plug for my car stereo, when i just rotate it completely plugged in.
Anyone have anything else to offer on this? I know it's not a headphone connection issue as it happens when using bluetooth in the car as well. It happens with Poweramp, Listen and Audible so I guess it must be something to do with it killing the apps or something? It drives me mad!
I was experiencing this issue a year and a half ago when I owned an HTC legend. It happened then on stock rom and also CM6.
I've owned my SGS for about 8 months now and have experienced this bug on every rom I've tried (froyo, KC1, KG3, now CM7).
I've looked at the log files when this happens and it simply says something to the effect of "cannot read from source" or "premature end of file." (I can't remember exactly). Strange thing is, the music is only paused, I can hit play and resume right where it stopped, so there is obviously no issues with reading the file. It also happens when I'm listening to podcasts in google listen.
I've learned to live with it.
Also about the headphones, I use the external speaker when rocking my baby daughter to sleep sometimes and it happens then too.
thanks for sharing: I get this periodically and wasn't sure what was causing it
Have you tried fixing permissions?

I have the same issue, any luck with a solution?
Has anyone had any problems with PowerAmp on their bionic? Sometimes it stops playing when i have it connected to bluetooth headphones . Tried playing around with all the settings to no avail. the only way i can get it to play sometimes is by ticking the box that says play when connection resumes to BT. Basically what it does is play but it produces no sound. I've contacted the DEV multiple times and no responce
basically from someone else with the same problem
"I start playing PowerAmp
While a song is playing, I'll switch to another song (either by swiping or by pressing the "next" button)
I'll switch songs a few times, and after a few (7-10 songs) the audio will stop coming out. However, the timer will still advance, so the player thinks that the song is still playing.
During this time, all other sounds work normally, just not PowerAmp. The workaround is to kill the task using the stock task manager and then restart PowerAmp.
This is a hugely annoying bug on an otherwise great program. This bug makes it borderline unusable. It never used to happen on my old DroidX, so I'm not sure if it's related to the new phones, or if an update created this bug."
I use to have that same problem. I think i solved it since i haven't had the problem anymore. But i turned off all the fading and that seemed to work.

thank you for the help, been using it and the fix works!
I had this problem. I switched to 2.0 beta 3 and I haven't had the problem since.

I have the same issue. I would use task killer then go back to Power Amp and it would start playing again. I just upgraded to 2.0 last night and we will see what happens
after the update i was confused on how to get the EQ and shuffle mode turned on from the player menu. turns out if you tap the album art in the middle of the screen itll pop up in the corners. confusing if your used to the old layout.
I had this same issue for weeks. Been really aggravating me. Glad i am not alone. I will try turning off all Fading. Thanks for the tip. I updated the app too. Hopefully the bug is gone.
I am running vibranturk's port of ics 4.0.3 AOKP Build 23, and am having issues with paying music. First, the fact that the music apk fc's every time is a non issue as I am using winamp. Where the issue is is playing with the screen locked makes the music clip after about 30 seconds. I have disabled any dsp manager effects and it still does it. I have had success with turning off winamp's equalizer, but would really rather not (so sue me, I like good audio). For the moment I will live with the flat music, but would LOVE a solution to this which let's me use the equalizer.
My 2 cents: it seems like it is a memory issue as the clipping gets progressively worse and the bpm goes down as time goes on. This does not happen when the screen is on, making me think that the system is putting winamp on a lower priority memory class and is having its memory dumped sooner.

I believe you're on the right track. If I remember correctly, a lot (if not all) of the ICS roms drop the phone's processor to a low speed when the screen is off.
You may want to give the Icy Glitch kernel a spin - I use that one, and music playback hasn't been an issue when I've had the screen off.
Thanks for the tip! I was thinking of trying the icy glitch anyways, now it seems I have a good reason to .
I'll report back on my results.
WOO!
It worked!
Thanks!
Whenever listening to music with the stock player the music pauses for no reason after a while. Doesn't seem to have a pattern, it has nothing to do with notifications or anything else that I can recognize. This has happened with plugged in earbuds and with a bluetooth headset so I'm guessing it's not the jack's fault.
I searched around but found nothing specific to this device, is anyone else having an issue like this? I haven't really tried using other music players, although I think it happened once with Winamp too.
On a side note, is there anyway to make a bluetooth headset control playback for programs other than the stock player? For example if I'm using Winamp and I press Next on the bluetooth headset, Winamp will pause and the stock player will start playing, really annoying. I wouldn't mind using the stock player if it worked correctly.
Not being very useful, but i have exact the same issue

have you flipped your phone over?
Did you set your CPU speed too low?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I have the turn over motion disabled but I did activate the CPU Power Saving option. Do you think that could be the reason?
It could be since sometime when i set the CPU below 500 mega hertz the music stops occasionally when the screen is off. Just try to set above 500.

Well I disabled CPU power saving and I'm trying a different music player. Haven't experienced any weird pauses. Hopefully that was the problem.
