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.

i will try this, thanks for the help!
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.

Edit: just that the rc is available. Sweet!
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.

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.
Has anyone noticed that pandora will occasionally skip songs? ive been using the stock headphones and i think somewhere i read that the issue lies with the headphones but this is my second phone (first had random reboots) and i really don't think twice in a row i got bad headphones...
I haven't noticed and I generally use the stock earphones. Do an experiment. Use some different earphones and see if you have the same problem.
the issue is that this happens very rarely (happened more often on my 1st phone) last time this happened was about 1 week ago maybe... i guess ill try one week with my iphone headset and 1 week with samsung...
The only time it happens to me is when im playing it and switch from wifi to 3g or vice versa and its not every time

Pandora for me is completely unusable. It disregards what else is playing, and goes on top of it.
Totally worthless.
Here's two examples:
1. Open Pandora, wait, no I want to call someone. Close Pandora, make a phone call. 2 minutes in it starts playing. Talk about awkward!!! What the $&#*$??
2. Open Pandora, dang no signal. Open stock music app, then a few minutes later I hear two songs playing. Have to open Pandora and click pause. Again, what gives???
The fact that a reputible, famous, well liked company made such a disastrous product makes me confused.
So I'm not surprised at all to hear you have issues
I want to like Pandora, I just feel like Im talking to an austistic kid whenever I use it (high degree of selfishness, talks over everything)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Pandora can play, but it is way too laggy without voodoo, if I try to switch a station it goes black for a few minutes, then force closes.
Seems like the issue is in fact wifi to 3g
Regarding pandora interrupting phone calls I've never had this issue I've started pandora then made a phone call talk for 15 or 20 mins and it continue to play right after the main issue I have is hanging up the phone can't be done with the headset
Are you using a custom rom our something? Because I can say stock there aren't issues like that unless its a faulty phone or something user or app related

Wow i dont understand why everyone is having problems with pandora. Ive had my captivate for a few months now and I listen to it every day all day at work and have never had one even slight issue. I mean its flawless. Especially coming from blackberry 9700 is like absolutely perfect. No exaggeration. From phone calls to multitasking no probs. On many different roms
Sounds like one dudes problem is he needs to hit the quit button if he wants to close it. Not just home or back.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
well the reason you haven't noticed an issue is because like you said you listen to it at work which means generally you are in on area at a time, as for me and several others are in college etc... we move from place to place in and out of wifi network which could cause this issue
Other than the issue of pandora skipping i really have no other concerns with it other than yes it is a bit slow when starting it up and when trying to skip song while i walk between classes/work
maybe i should root my device to speed it up...

Yeah I get that. But I forgot to mention I listen to it everytime I go riding on my motorcycle which is all the time. No issues then either. Unless I'm ridin in the country and there's no signal.

I go to Georgia Tech and we're said to have the best WiFi/Internet speeds in the entire nation iirc.
We have WiFi, literally everywhere we go on campus. Except some small spots, and those spots I get what you are expierencing when switching from 3g to WiFi
from what ive noticed the issue does in fact occur when switching from wifi to 3g or vice versa (again it is very rare) so for the most part managing your wifi when leaving your wifi zone (like i do leaving my apartment)
I haven't had any problems. I listen to it while at home on wifi and I some times leave to go somewhere and it still plays fine. I also listen to it all day at work and a lot while driving in the car with no problems. The only time I ever noticed a problem is the button doesn't always pause the music. Once in a while when I try and pause Pandora with the in-line button, music player will start playing a song.

you have to close the music player completely.
if it is on "standby" it will do that.
You guys are right - I have to force close rather than hit the home button or back button. Point is force closing is just another step.....
I am running a custom ROM so that can be it (cognition), but on the other hand everything else works with it! I.e. last.FM, stock music, mixzing, etc. So part of it really is a difference in their app.
Good to know it works on stock

In Pandora app there is a quit button. Hit the options/menu button (to the left of home button) and you will see some options one of them being quit.

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?
Hi, not sure what I have done but it is bloody annoying, I hope I can get some help.
I rooted my Tab a few weeks ago and it is working fine. I also downloaded 'Root Tools' a couple of days ago but am not sure if that is the problem, I have tried uninstalling it but it hasn't made a difference.
The problem I have is that every time I switch my phone on from a cold start I get this music playing, very loudly and I can't seem to stop it or find the track. I have to put the phone in silent mode to stop the music playing but when I come out of silent mode the music is still playing. Does this suggest it is a ringtone?
I go into my music player and play every single track but it isn't the one that is constantly playing. when I come out of the music player sometimes it stops.
Is their anything I can install that can stop this? A theme or something? Not sure but it is driving me nuts,lol.
I have done a virus check and it informs me the phone is clean.
I hope you have a better idea than me. Thanks for any help in advance.
Tried checking your notification sound settings? I had similar issue and found it was that.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
thanks for reply. Where are the notification settings?
I got it to stop but not sure how. It is techno music that plays and plays but searching on the phone I can still not find it.
I'm glad it has stopped but would really like to know why. Could it have anything to do with a root app?
Lately i've noticing a strange sound behavior. Whenever i play Music on the loudspeaker Music tends to fade out and in, i mean the volume goes down and then up, and no matter what player i use it,s happening so often that it's getting annoying. Any help or ideas, has anyone faced this problem? And don't know if it's rom related.
it's like something is making the sound to lose focus, like when you recieve a message while listening to Music with a headset but on headset this problem doesn't show up.
And for everyone to know i'm not using any sound mod.
edit: noticed that apps that use audio are crashing more than they should.
Hay man, I have the exact same problem, Sounds fades out then comes back... Oddly enough it's only just started happening in the last day or so. I'm on stock jellybean update with locked bootloader.
Is there any solution to this? Ive tried rebooting etc but no luck.

Try freezing soundenhancement.apk. I know this works on arc, maybe the same bug applies to XT/XTX etc.

Did that and no changes so far.
When playing walkman..i realise that the music seems like its stop and then play again..its stop around half a second..this happen in a few time per song..
Well I'm still having this problem but i've noticed that it happens oftenly whenever i'm listening music on loudspeaker and i open Chrome to navigate, it Triggers the problem. Been trying using Dolphin and it doesn't produce the problem.
I'm not 100% if chrome has to be blamed but that's what i've noticed
This weekend will try changing ROM to see if the problem goes away.
I have noticed this bug as well

Since disabling xloud I don't seem to get the issue anymore, anyone confirm?
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
I've already tested by disabling xloud, but the problem persists, gonna try rebooting after disabling
Edit: same result after rebooting. The ultimate Test is to play Music then start browsing with chrome (at least with two tabs opened) the Sound will fade out and in eventually. Have in mind that only happens with the internal Speaker of the phone. No headphones or external speakers.
Well moved from TurzzdROM to Gregbradley's Assaye 1.1.0 and there's no sight of the problem, Not saying that was the ROM because i did something else, that is is not enabling Clear phase in Settings/sound, I just activated Xloud and thats it.
So... Try disabling clear phase on settings and rebooting and see if that works.
I'm on JB & is it just me, but I noticed that the sound settings of ringtone & noticifactions isn't very loud.
If you use the max. volume settings, it isn't loud at all....
Any one else noticed this?
