What music player? Have you tried force closing, then clearing data. Then opening?

It happens on all music players. The music plays while I have my head phones in bit once the screen shuts off the music stops. But it my head phones is not in and the screen shuts off the music continue to play. I tried different head sets to.

[Q] Stock music player stopping randomingly

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?

[Q] Problem with rooted Galaxy Tab

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?

Music Player intermittently freezing in the middle of a song

Does anyone else have this issue? It's very annoying, I would be trying to listen to a song and all of a sudden the track will skip around a little bit. I know it isn't the file because it plays perfectly on my PC. I have this problem with any music player too not just the stock one.

i'd first try copying everything of value off of the SD, and formatting. I would then copy your music back on...not the ones that were already on there...a fresh copy. need to tighten up that SD
I'm using the internal SD for music. Do you still recommend formatting?
Btw thanks for the response.

Are you using headphones? The headphone jack can sometimes be a pain to get a pair of headphone into. (If it moves while not in all the way it can sometimes pause). Does it have the same problem with the speaker on the phone?

Same for me, haven't tried with just the speaker. And its not the headphones pulling out, cause it cuts in and out some, then stops. All I have to do is hit play again.

Yeah, that can happen if the headphones aren't in as far as they can be.

This issue of the headphone jacks was discussed in an early thread last fall. I, and others, found that the jack may not go all the way in. As a result, I was getting only one channel. A little extra push seated the jack properly for full sound. Different people reported different experiences, depending on the headphone or earbud brands they had.
Edit: I ran the HTC music player, a streaming music app, and the FM radio for several songs each, and I had no cutting out or loss of music. My Vivid is ICS, stock, no unlock or root.

I don't have any issues either... might be some app in the background? I listen music (from sd card and Internet radio) every day in my car for about 50 minutes a day...

on every ROM
Every ROM I've flashed, since root, has done this. I have to go back to my music player, force close it, re open, and it plays fine for about another hour. Pandora, Slacker, rocket player, Google play, and tune-in. Same results. Now on Miui v5, same results.....???

Actually in 4.1.X roms, its where the music is, I moved my music to my internal sd card and I dont have that problem anymore. For some reason, even the file managers, like astro file managers or the stock cm one, mix the two.
I have this problem too, it just freezes, then starts about a second later. Using Google Play Music.
I also have no issues.
I am on the stock Bell Canada ICS ROM and use WinAmp. My music & video is on the external SD card.

[Q] Strange Sound behavior

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?

[Q] Bluetooth Music Cuts Out

I have the .205 build of Jelly Bean for my Xperia T. I have been having a problem when playing music. I connect my Xperia via Bluetooth to my car stereo to listen to music, but sometimes my music will just stop randomly. This usually happens within 10 seconds of starting a song. Even after I try to play the song again, it will still happen. It also began to happen when I had headphones in, with no Bluetooth. I am using Google Play Music.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this? This never happened to me on .199
Thanks

I am also having problems with phantom vibrations when my phone gets "bogged down." And apps such as Real Racing 3 glitch while racing. Is this consistent with RAM problems?
It's could be anything from a old file system, to ram. I honestly don't think it's ram because it would be shutting down your phone, but because it has been suggested we'll start there. Uninstall all the apps you don't use, are you rooted or on stock?

I am rooted.
Ok so another thing you can do is get a ram optimiser from the app store and see if that helps
