Hi everyone. I'm really freaked out. I have an N1 running CM6.1 stable and it's always been working fine. This morning though, my phone started playing this strange hawaiian-style music loop by itself and I have _no_ idea where it comes from. I've tried rebooting and it started playing again so I'm thinking I may have caught something.
I tried to look it up and haven't found anything. Has anyone else heard of such a thing happen to android phones before?
Were you plugged into the computer via USB when it happened? I know that if your ringtone was stored on the SD card and you are plugged into USB with mass storage enabled, the phone would play a ringtone from internal storage when you received a notification.
it's just a ringtone... are you sure you've not setup any app for services?
That sounds about right. Although I've never seen it happen before. Thank you very much!
This reminds me of a freaky incident with my phone.
I picked up my phone to go out and I hear my own voice saying, "Hello? Hello?".
I was pretty freaked out but had no idea what it was.
Then it happened again the next day.
And the day after. All around the same time, and all when I picked up my phone.
I eventually remembered I had tested a sound recorder app a while back, so my "Hello?" was recorded as a wav file on the sd card. When picking up my phone I would unplug the headphones, physically pulling out the plug triggered the 'play' as if the headphones had the remote that came with the phone. The music player then played the first file it found which was my test recording.
^-- this is freaking addictive O.O
It's when the strange voices start that you have to worry, especially if you don't have your phone!

It happens to my android phone too, and quite frequently i must say. i dont have any music app or anything to trigger that type of music. Its hawaian style and also there is this sound like someone is taking a picture! Its really weird but i've laughed it off until now. Has someone found any solution? Btw it happens to my friend too!
Strange music strikes again
Mine too. Android device.
I think it's solved. From the sms app. Did you received any strange sms earlier before this music start playing? I did and I think they are connected.

Hello
I have recently experienced quite unpleasant problem with my G1 - basically, every time I receive a phone call or text message while listening to the music, the music player shuts itself down and when I open it again, it doesn't seem to play any music (even tho it looks like the song is actually playing, you cant hear anything).
Can anyone advise what could cause it? I've tried 3 different music players, every one of them appear to be subject of the same problem ;/
most likely because you've activated a sound notification on sms and call..ringtone obviously
Hmm, it happens in both silent mode and normal mode, if that's what you meant.
Any audiomods?
Hmm, none that I'm aware of, I've only even installed JesusFreke rom and that was it.
I'm fine with the music being paused when a call comes in, but it really bugs be that it stops (and then resumes) for everything: SMS, Calendar, E-Mail, general notifications, etc.
I guess Android simply can't handle multiple audio streams at the same time. We need PulseAudio for Android
Have you guys tried meridian from the market? Its all i've used since i got my g1 so cant comment on other music players, but when im listening to music and i get a call it stops, but as soon as i hang up it picks back up right where i left off... as far as text messeges and the such goes, the notifaction sounds right over the music and it never stops playing.
Im currently on soulife roger, but ive had jf when it was 1.0, dudecake, dude roger, cyanogen, and so on it they all reacted the same way. Ive also had stock and audio mods and all still same as far as this issue...

I use DoggCatcher to listen to my netcasts, there's no other app like that on the market. Though if you say it might be app's problem, I'll ask the dev about it.
Has anyone gotten this problem using HTC Music?

I've tried it with default music app, and it does not have that problem. So I guess it's app specific. I already got in touch with the developer of DoggCatcher.
Quick update:
I have just found out that it only happens when the headphones are plugged in. ANy idea why? :<

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?
Every single time I go to play music off of my SD card with headphones plugged in, I get a message that says Music Enhancer has crashed. Anybody else have this problem? Looks like someone is having the same problem on the Verizon forum, but they haven't found a solution yet.

Happens to me pretty frequently as well, but it doesn't seem to affect anything.
Audio issue - please help
I just bought the note 5 from tmobile 4 days ago. It's an amazing phone, however I am having an issue with the audio. I'm not sure if it's something internal or if my earphones are broken. Basically when I play music through my earphones, the song plays normally. But at random moments I can hear random noises. The noises come in at random moments in the song.
I noticed this pretty soon, but didn't make much of it at first. Now, on my bus ride to school it's finally gotten to a point where I can't take it. The music gets warped for like a millisecond, but that happening multiple times in a song just got a bit too much.
I have not checked if this happens when using the speakers or using another pair of earphones. I'm using the pair that came in the box. As I said I'm on the bus, so I can't blast music through my speakers. However I was playing music yesterday through speakers in my room and now that I think about it I didn't notice any warping. When I get to school I'll borrow someone's earphones to see if my pair is just broken.
But yeah are any of you having this problem? It's a big deal cause I listen to music a lot through my earphones.
Love your thread, man. This happened to me too but I wasn't 100% sure and I couldn't reproduce it. Now I know it's a problem. I just hope it's on everyone's Note5 too because then it would be a software problem that'll disappear soon. Otherwise we may have to go for exchanges. What ROM are you on? I'm 100% stock N920CXXU1AOH2.

Really hoping this is a software issue..
I just registered to say I'm having the same exact issue when listening to music through the headphone jack no matter if I use headphones or the Aux input in my car. I hope this is a software issue and gets fixed soon.
I haven't seen this issue yet but I havent been listening to much music lately anyway. Will check it and get back. I am more concerned about the S-Pen sensitivity issue. Also started a thread for it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/samsung-galaxy-note-5-s-pen-sensitivity-t3205683
It was happening to me on stock not rooted with Bluetooth and pandora. It was only happening with WiFi on but I haven't noticed it since I'm rooted on custom kernel and rom
I think it happens only on certain frequencies because when I listen to podcasts I never have the issue.
Yes I'm having the same problem when playing music through the auxiliary port or the phone's speaker it's self. Randomly sounds like someone has the hiccups in the background. Have you found a fix?

From what I've come across, it seems like an issue with VBR MP3 files. I was able to fix it using Poweramp as my music player, as it uses a different audio processor than the stock Samsung one.
Also, the update released a few weeks ago also seems to have fixed the issue.
I had the same issue in the older firmware of my Note 5 920I. The latest update OJD fixes the problem. Not facing anymore glitches now. It's definitely a software bug and has been solved by Samsung. Please update your device normally. No root required.
Use Don't Pause
There's an app called don't pause. What it does is when youre listening to streaming music that when you get a notification that you wont get the gap in space (pause) in the music. The paid version removes ads. Ive been using it since the KitKat days with my Note 3 and it works well.
Radio
can I add radio app to not 5 ?
I face audio prob too. Note5 no root, stock 5.1.1.
When I feed digital signal to ext. dac, if use Scale up 385khz then pop and click happen (i use Neutronmp).
When scale up 88khz this phenomenon reduce and when no scale up used, sound is smooth.
Also hf player upscale to 192khz is ok.
Note2 and Lenovo A7-30 and S4 is okay when do the same thing with same neutronmp version.
No solution till now
Depending on if the issue is with your actual audio or if its coming from the music player will be two different things. I always recommend doing a quick restart on your phone or trying to leave it off for a little bit if its having any issues. Usually this will work if there is an overheating issue. You should also try doing an update which can fix problems in the software. If its with your actual music player then these are some of the best music players for the galaxy note 5 hands down https://fliptroniks.com/best-music-app-for-galaxy-note-5/
Having the same issue on Note 5 which I bought on 7/21/2017

Hey Guys,
I am also experiencing the same issue when listening to music via the headphone jack. Something that I noticed was, when the screen is switched on, it works perfectly. As the screen is switched off, the music gets warped and scratched.
Anyone found a solution for this problem?
Anyone ever had this happen? Not sure where to put this. I've had the HTC One M8 on Sprint almost since it came out. Shortly after I put on ViperOneM8.
My phone started playing a sound I've never heard before. I was in my car and by the time I got my phone out of my pocket the sound was gone. The screen was off. What's interesting is I have Do Not Disturb mode on for the past few weeks and the phone is quiet the whole day except for that sound (and obviously except on break when I am playing a game).
A day later I was coming back from lunch and I heard the sound again. It was so quick I only had time to pick up my phone. By that time it stopped already.
Happened again this morning. I am noticing the noise comes when I pull into my parking spot at work.
It sounds like music if you were at a Japanese garden. Calm, peaceful, slow.
I don't change any of my settings and the few apps and games I have installed are from the Play Store, except TWRP I think.
