Music stops playing after about 20 seconds for any song. Windows Media player and other music players work just fine.
Used to work fine but the problem seems to have started after I loaded up a lot of music (about 2 GB). I already tried to delete out my music but it still happens. I've flashed 2 other versions of ROM and the problem is still there now. I keep my music on the internal storage.
Anybody else have this problem and know how to fix it?
Help appreciated.
Update ----
I deleted all mp3 files again and did a soft reset. It's working fine again. First time I missed some MP3 file somewhere.
I'm experiencing the same problem:
after playing about 20-30 seconden of music(mp3)(doesn't matter wich player I use) my Touch Diamond freezes. This is real nasty, because it also affects my alarm, so I will probly get to late at work in this way. I haven't had this problem before, Im using ROM 1.93 EUropean with 20273 build. I will try another ROM this weekend
Hey guys, does anyone know a solution to why my rom is freezing up everytime i play music. I am using energy's latest leo build but everytime i click on a music song, my whole entire phone freezes up. It also does the same when i tried energy's phoenix build too.
its actually through my storage card, and i tried deleting the folder and reinserting new music with problems still persisting.
And why don't you ask that in according ROM thread?
Hi Guys,
I do have a really strange problem with my Galaxy S i9000. It randomly plays music by itself without opening any player. I can never know when it starts and even if I kill all tasks and most of the services (all I can) it won't stop. If I open the player it does not show any active playback. I can stop the playback if I slide down the upper status bar. I also can adjust the playback volume normally but it is very loud even on the lowest level.
In fact, it is always the same song (no mp3, it's a FLAC) which is located here:
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/MP3/Paul Kalkbrenner...Berlin_Calling(FLAC)/14...
Some guys in a Moto Droid Forum already experienced the same problem with 2.1:
hXXp://androidforums.com/motorola-milestone/64497-music-playing-itself.html
I have no idea what I can do. I did not test/hack a lot and the phone is set up pretty fresh and clean.
Froyo 2.2 (JP6) flashed with Kies RegHack
Root done with ]SuperOneClick v1.5
OCLF V2+
All installed Apps are major ones and well know. So nothing special, spectacular or risky. Does anybody know what the root cause of the problem could be?
I do hope there are some ideas what I could do. Of course I could uninstall the built in player, move or delete the file but that wouldn't be a "real" solution or explain what happens. Please help! Thank you.
Best regards,
DvP
related issue
weirdly enough I had a variant of this until very recently, when it just suddenly stopped happening.
In my case, the music player would repeatedly restart itself, although it wouldn't actually be playing a track. By repeatedly I mean every time I picked the phone up I'd check running apps and find the music player there. This was on a brand new, completely un-tampered-with phone.
I went to JPM via Odin recently and rooted the phone and then the behaviour stopped.
Is there any way how I can find out which process is playing the music? I could try to make a video when the song runs again to show that no application is running at all if that helps :-/
Hi,
I flashed my phone last night (I9000), and everything's working fine....
except when i play music (haven't tested video yet) and lock the phone the phone completely freezes, the music loops on the second it was playing when i locked it and i cant do anything with it at all so i have to take the battery out and start it up again.
Any ideas?

which 2.3 firmware did you flash??
same here.. however video player is fine and i can use winamp and power amp.
I've noticed the exact same behaviour in the music player. Good to know this issue doesnt affect win/power-amp.
Factory reset always first step .

Both Music player and Video player work fine here. Are you guys restoring apps with Titanium Backup? Some n00bs are using it and restoring system apps and when sh*t breaks they say the 2.3.3 firmware is crappy. As they say, id-10-t error.
No problem on JVK here.
I had the same issues using the XXJV1 firmware which was very buggy. Reflashed to XXJVK and now evrything is working as it should.....
I reflashed with.....XXJVK 2.3.3
i didn't back up my apps at all so that's not it, but as long as there are alternative music players that work fine i guess it doesn't matter.
good to know i'm not the only one too haha
Dear all,
I noticed my phone has an issue and I think this may not be rom / kernel related, so I would like to ask here.
My phone is running fine every time after booting up, however after running for a random period of times (say 2 - 7 days), it cannot play any media files. I can't play youtube (it said the video cannot be played), can't listen to mp3 (music player reported unsupported codec), ringtone disappeared (phone don't ring if i get call) and other apps failed in similar way. A reboot can solve the issue.
It is a bit annoying (especially when you when to play something and you suddenly identified that you need to wait for 5 min for a reboot), does any one experienced similar issue?
To clarify , I am running darky rom with darky kernel 1.0, however I had this issue for a few months, I was using super optimized kernel and had the same issue as well.
Same here. i'm running Darky's 9.4 but I don't know if it is related to this rom.
I don't remember that I had this problem before.

I have this problem.
(dark kernel 1.4 and darky rom 9.5)
I get this occasionally and I'm on stock 2.2.1. It's a massive pain in the arse. I thought maybe it was something to do with my external micro sd card but I formatted it and waited hours to copy all my music to it again and I'm still having problems.

So quite a few of people having this problem. Did anyone of us find out the root cause? And what's the reason that others do not suffer from this? This happened on Darky, Super Optimized Kernel, Speedmod, Stock Rom...
Some experts can help?
Also know this problem. Had it on stock and some custom roms too. Tried nearly every kernel ever available for our phone but didnt help. so it really maybe some strange Hardware issue...just speculating but when did you guys get your galaxy? cause mine was one of the `first generation` got it immediately when it was available here in germany in june/july 2010...perhaps this got fixed by Samsung later on

An old Nokia trick may work . Delete your MP3s .
Load only a few MP3s to phone and see if it works .

I've seen another thread were someone said it was called by the twitter client. They have updated the official twitter client recently, and I've not had the problem occur since. Although, it may be too soon to tell, it used to happen to me very regularly.
And just to followup, the problem hasn't gone away with the new version of twitter.
So, I'm not sure of what is the cause (or solution) to the issue.

Nope, i though you are talking the twitter update around 1 week ago. I just found that twitter have a new update today and never tried it if it fixed the problem. The change description do mention something similar, fixed a bug to skip music player while updating.. not sure if this is really the case.... need to test now...
good topic
I'm going to get rid of the twitter app then to see if it helps as updates don't seem to have done anything and I reformatted the sd card again and stuck everything back on there today and not only did it happen again, it's getting worse! Not only could I not play any music a minute ago, a load of my apps had vanished too! I assume ones that installed to SD by default rather than the phone storage.
If this sorts it out I'll be very happy. Twitter's crap anyway.
I've been having the same problem for a while now. I have just uninstalled Twitter and will see if that helps.
Basically all media stops working. Can't even record anything with the camcorder app. Nothing plays back. No youtube, no camcorder videos, no nothing. BUT arcmedia will open some videos sometime. HMMM weird, because other video player apps don't seem to be able to play them.
I'll give an update later today if it works. Videos normally stop working after only a few hours on my phone.

Do you guys have 8GB or 16GB models?
I've only come across this once and it was on a stock 16GB, one of the early ones, started about a week ago...upgraded to JVB seems to have solved it for now, time will tell.
16gb model, I've had 3 updates, and none have fixed the problem.
