Hi,
I'm not a big user of music on my Captivate, but last day I tried to play some mp3s and had a bad surprise.
First song always plays normally but the player freeze everytime I press next.
I tried with different players (stock player, 3, Player Pro) and it has always the same behaviour.
I'm running Axura 1.01 with recommended lagfix option.
The only thing I modified I could think of, that could have a link with the music, would be unistalling DRM service (to solve battery drain issue).
I didn't freeze this service (uninstalled if for real ) so I can't really check if it's the source of the problem.
Any idea/help is welcome
Thanks!
I had problems playing music for awhile it turned out to be my external memory card going bad it would still work in my old phone but for some reason it would start skipping and freezing in my captivate got a new card no more problem

Mount the card on your PC and run a check disk
If you still have problems, save your data and run a FULL format.
Thanks for the replies
It's still not working, my music is located on the internal SD of the captivate. I tried removing my "external" SD, just in case, but it doesn't change anything, music app is still freezing when changing song =/
Any other idea?
Flash to stock and see if the issue still happens?
Seriously though - this is a valid bug for the Auxura dev to address. If the folks running the ROM do not have this issue ... its possible that you will need to re-flash the ROM again to fix it.
I just install the rom yesterday.
It start with the lag and freezes.
In the night the phone start to call pepole on his own
And the worst was that the songs start to play and woke me
is there any solution?
Just installed 80 this morning and so far it is working way much better than the previous releases! But now I'm already afraid to go to bed because of your post

Try reflashing the rom
I wipe and format my phone the phone still freeze a lot
I notice that the free ram is considerably low, not more than 130
After a rebot and around 70-80 mb after(in nova hd i had around 220-249)
and i did ram hack in both of tham.
By the way, the "live android" is still there, i realize that sometimes. Whan i wake my phone

Cwm test format cache and Dalvik cache and refresh rom. To free up ram uses yamc app (which is a appkill works great).
I try to refresh the rom, and still,
This rom looks great, but the problems. Never stop
Today the clock stop working the phone freezes to much
I give up, go back to the nova hd (only with a network problem sometimes )
Has anyone else had issues with tracks jumping or freezing briefly in the walkman player? I've only had it happen a few times, but it never normally happens with the files themselves. Any ideas?
Ill reply this happened previously on one of the last java Sony Ericsson phones think it was the c905 - cant remember. But I fixed it somehow.
Anyways,
Are the songs on phone or memory card?
What bit rate are the songs? What format?

Sound issues
Hello!
I have the same problem with freezing music not only in walkman app, but also in player pro. It happens more often when device is using multitask (for example, browsing and music at the same time), but sometimes there are pauses even if screen is off.
All the media is [email protected] stored on microsd.
And i have never noticed this problem in media apps that use their own media decoder. Sound in videos played by mxplayer is ok, and music has no longer these freezes as i started to use playerpro with DSP pack.
As far as i can see, the problem is caused by software, not hardware. I hope sony will fix it by firmware updates.

They're stored on internal memory as I need to get round to buying a 64gb microsd. Songs are 128kpbs and mp3.
It freezd when listening FLAC music.

any other ideas? this is seriously bugging me - listening to music is probably one of the main things I use my phone for outside of calls/texts
Um have you cleared the cache for the walkman app?
Or like windows pcs.
Clear the phone - factory reset it - start from scratch do a clean wipe.
Try another music player.
Or try a different bit rate mp3

Have done all but cleared the cache and bit rate so will try that today. Also getting my sd card today so will see if it makes any difference once they're on that instead, as is it possible it could be to do with the read speed of the internal memory?
As i have already said, it looks to be walkman app problem.
I have noticed no such issues since i started to use another player app.

See, I'm having the problem regardless of what music app I use, which is a bit weird. Although last night, I wiped all my music again and transferred just a few of the songs, so will continue to see how that goes.
Ok so have tried everything now - different bit rate, clearing the cache, factory reset, phone repair, using different music players, trying it on both internal memory and SD card and it's STILL skipping.
Could this therefore just be a hardware fault?
That's really weird.
You know, i had same problem, some people were reporting about this problem both here and on local russian forums, but the feedback about the issue was not that massive as it would be in case of hardware fault. And at the moment everything works fine on my device.
If you dont mind, i'll contact you in a moment via private message, hope i can provide some help.

I mean if it was a hardware fault just specific to my phone. It's annoying if it is as I haven't experienced all the other issues people have had like dead pixels, LED light problems, stamina mode not working, etc. so would be reluctant to swap my phone and potentially end up with any of those issues.
Had this problem' solved by using player pro and having audio buffer set to very high and priority set to high sorted it for me.

Using player pro with DSP enabled, so will try editing the audio buffer and priority settings as well.
Well, everything is possible.
But i can't see the way for hardware to cause this problem with music, but not to affect any other use-cases of the device. As you said, you experienced no other troubles like random rebooting or graphic disfiguration, which would point to defects of cpu or memory or somewhat.
My guess is that system lets the device to fall into "deep sleep", that's why music decoder stops its work for a moment and causes the freeze. Just a software bug. But i can mistake, though.
Yes, i forgot to notice this: the priority of decoder in dsp settings of playerpro is also set to max.

Ok so I downloaded playerpro from the link you sent me after uninstalling the player pro and DSP pack I already had on my phone and weirdly, it seems to have improved. There's still the occasional jump/pause but nowhere near as bad as it was. Will keep testing and update. If it continues to be buggy though, I still might pop into CPW tomorrow and see whether I should get it swapped.
Update: It seems you could be onto something regarding it going to sleep - I don't know how it would go to sleep so quickly, but in look and feel, when I selected to keep the screen on, and it didn't get locked, I experienced no jumping in the tracks.
Looking at this http://androidforums.com/captivate-...-playback-stock-player-samsung-captivate.html
I wonder if it could be anything to do with CPU throttling? It is definitely the case that it only skips when the screen is off, so I'm assuming I have no way of fixing this.
Anyone able to get Lastfm scrobbling to work with Walkman?
Tried the Xperia App but it only works with the official Lastfm app and it's a piece of crap.

I have sent a request to sony's support via e-mail asking for their response about this music problem. I hope the answer will come today, so i'll post sony representatives' comment on the issue.
Still believe it is software to cause bugs. Playerpro decoder, set to maximum process priority, doesn't let system to sleep, which increases power consumption, but fixes freezes and pauses. The original sound decoder has lesser priority, maybe there are some bugs in power management, so the issue we decribe happens.
The problem is, there can be no firmware updates for XZ until the end of March or beginning of April, when android 4.2 will become available for our device.

Hey guys, ive got a rooted xperia tx running stock firmware, and im experiencing very choppy video performance. It can freeze for a second or so, even on non HD videos.
Im able to play 3D games quite well( NFS most wanted, asphalt 7), and i think even streaming video plays fine, but any video that ive stored on my phone plays really badly, even with MX video player( Both h/w and s/w decoding display this issue). Also, I've had this problem since ICS.

this is bug for Sony JB, media system sometimes freeze -_-
Edit: if problem still persist, try to reflash stock rom

I experienced this issue when i was on .411, but with the .67 firmware, the issue has gone, update to .67, and even FLASH it, to see if it helps

backup your SD card, and everything, then perform a FULL FACTORY RESET, including Erasing Memory Card, maybe this helps optimizing the memory card and internal storage for JB, as i said, i had this problem, but after a factory reset it's ok now, there is nothing wrong with your device, it's powerful enough to play FullHD videos, let alone 720p
Hello there guys! I have a little issue with my Xperia sp..when I listen to music once every 24 hours it freezes..I am using player pro but this happens also with walkman app! Device rooted and custom Rom(this also was happening before rooting my device)
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

Freeze as in, for a few seconds, or until you open the app?
Hey,
I've noticed (hardly couldn't miss it) the problem on my SP too. Allthough it happened more frequently then you've reported.
I have triend every single firmware version and different music players, but nothing seemed to solve the problem.
I haven't tried it with a different SD card. Do you play your music from SD card and did you try different SD cards?
I'm using a 64GB Sandisk ultra SD, but unless that is faulty I cant see why that should be the problem. Also my phone doesn't skip music or songs so that eliminates the possibility of a broken SD card for me I guess.
At the moment my phone is in for repair, dead pixels on the camera image sensor, but I told them to have a look at the music problem too.
Any thoughts on how this problem could occur?

i dont think its sd card's problem...im using a 32GB one! but when player pro freezes also the walkman app cant play music neither from sd card nor internal storage!
Oke, well still I'm wondering. But it might be a different problem then. Mine starts playing again after 15-30 seconds. Sometimes it wont play until I reboot.
Let's hope Sony knows anything about this problem.
Have you tried flashing a new firmware?
Edit: I see you already flashed another rom, almost looks like a hardware defect as in my case the ram never was full when this happened. Nor was it before I started playing music. Somebody? Any knowledge to share?

I also have the problem with the walkman freezing. The problem occurs when I'm in an app doesn't matter which one (only tested it with the eBay and email app) and press the home button, at this moment the music freezes. When I open the walkman app again the app begins again at the first song. This won't happen if I use the back button instead of the home button, very strange.
I use:
Stock rom and kernel (rooted).
Nova launcher prime.
Greenify donation version.
Xposed framework with xblast tools and advanced power menu.

Even on stock settings, the RAM clears itself at quite the high threshold.
