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 have Darky 10.2, before 10 RE something and its the same. Player is randomly freezing all the time. If I install differend player (like winamp) its the same... Any sugestions?
is this while using headphones? if so, the problem is a loose connection with the headphones -- I tried several different payers thinking it was software related only to find out it is a physical connection issue with the headphones plug
Just tried: its the same on "speaker"... 2-3songs and its freezes :/
Edit: listening to radio is working just fine...
I've encountered the same problem with my i9000 sgs.
I've both with and without headphones.
What happens is my sgs will go into sleep mode then shortly after it will hang and I'd have to restart. However, if i keep the phone on, there are no issues. I initially thought it was a problem with SetCPU. I uninstalled it but the problem still persisted.
I'm running speedmod k15i t13 on 2.3.3 GB, base version XJV9.
Also, i do experience a problem where the alarm clock function of the clock regularly does not sound at all. I've read that it is because i cleaered my RAM after setting it to go off, is that true? (Sorry for thread jacking just wanted to know whether it is related)
Bought Galaxy Note. Working without problems^^
I've been using ICS on my O2 Galaxy S since around beta 2 of ICSSGS and never had any problems with it, until now at least. I had been using Doc's ROM V6 until thursday, when it decided to suddenly stop working overnight. (as in it would get stuck on the kernel splash screen). I flashed a a gingerbread kernel so I could reflash the ROM, which I still had stored on the internal SD. After reflashing the ROM everything seemed to be working fine so I continued to use my phone as normal on friday. However, I tried to play some music today and found that playback was in slow motion, making the sound very deep. I guessed it was a flashing quirk and flashed the official AOKP rom on to my phone, wiping all my data as well as the system partition. However, the problem remained. I flashed back to stock JVQ in the hope that this would fix it but no such luck, although the music plays at normal speed for a few seconds before slowing. The affected songs seem to be random, and it occurs in all apps, including games and youtube. Note, it affects all sound on apps that are not music players, whereas songs in music players are affected randomly.
Naturally this is quite annoying and it would be preferable to find a fix with it without having to visit a phone shop.
Thanks in advance.

I dont have enough posts to post in the rom-related threads, but i have been having some issues and would like to share my experience.
Avatar Rom - I kept having random freezes, and wouldnt wake up. Occasionally i had a issue with bluetooth not being able to turn on but it seemed to work it self out on its own after a day or two.
Liquid - Had more bluetooth issues, and same random freezes/reboots
AOKP - Has been my daily driver for a while now. I still get the occasional reboot out of nowhere, but my only main problem with this one is the bluetooth. It works great after i flash the rom, then if i reboot, it will be switched off and will not let me switch it back on. To fix, i have to boot into recovery and wipe cache, and reboot. Then it works great until another reboot.
Also i have noticed in all roms except the stock one, the phone gets pretty hot while listening to pandora or playing games or anything really. Is that just common with this phone?

Haven't had the same issues with blutooth but I noticed changing the governor to interactive helped some with the reboots and and random freezes on CM10.1 and Avatar.
If your streaming pandora over 4G then yeah, phones probably going to get a little warm.

there was/is a known bluetooth stack issue
i saw some .zip fixes in other forums like the samsung epic4g
doubt its compatible, but the issue was identified and likely why aosp was fixed
I am having an issue with bluetooth using RC5 of CM10.1 (I will update to the latest nightly). Phone sets up nicely, but twice now after the first restart, bluetooth will not power back on. Was clearly on after set-up with the icon in the notification bar, and now the toggle won't slide to on.
Is anyone else suffering from audio stutter since the update to 4.3 and if so has anyone found a solution? I've read about lots of issues with other devices and music stutter on 4.3 but can't find anything on the Xperia Z.
I'm running the Generic UK rooted update from the Android Dev section, and I have narrowed the stutter down to when the device is sleeping.
At first I had my headphones (MDR-1RBT) on bluetooth and assumed it was that, but after connecting them with the wire the issue continued. Next I switched to Walkman player instead of the Google Music one (all music on both apps is local, on the SD card, not streamed).
The issue still continued, however, every time I wake the device the stuttering stops. I ran CPU spy to see what is going on and noticed my device has never entered deep sleep since the update (is anyone else seeing this also?)
One suggestion was that Wifi optimisation could be the issue, I turned that off, but it didn't help, and even turning wifi off doesn't seem to help, but wifi on seems to make it worse I'd say.
It's driving me insane and I use my phone/headphones to listen to music several hours a day and can't deal with the stutter, I'll have to go back to 4.2.2 unless I find a solution.

Yep. Same problem here.

Same problem as well, except it does not stop when I wake the device - the stutter still continues no matter what. I'm using the default Walkman app as well as have tried other music apps, but same problem throughout
no issues with poweramp. try apollo or some other player (not walkman or play music) and see if that helps.
No stutter here with walkman app.
But if I run the Walkman app, the accu usage shows that Mediaserver sucks my Battery,

Same here and for @AngelBob
It's annoying and I've not been able to find a solution to it yet...
I went back to 4.2.2, so i have one question: can someone test if stuttering are not present using PowerAmp?
Thanks all

I believe it's kernel related. We had this exact issue in the past and Sony fixed with am update.
CM builds are also suffering audio 'stutters' so I think it's something we're going to have to live with until Sony push a new kernel/libs

You're right, after investigation, I can say with some certainty that the cause is the new bluetooth stack Google switched to in 4.3. I tried modifying some of the bluetooth configs but it made no difference. It'll need a fix to those libs and perhaps a kernel update as you say.
I don't know if it's been fixed in 4.4 yet, since I no longer own any nexus devices, but I wouldn't count on us getting the fix any time soon unless Sony decide to resolve it themselves.

You're right, I tested wired and it's the same problem.
In this case, I'm going to put the issue down to kernel and power save/sleep mode. I switched straight back to 4.2.2. I really like the new UI, but I can wait, hopefully 4.4 fixes it. I wouldn't count on a maintenance release from Sony before 4.4
I had this problem on 4.2.2 ROMs when I had Wi-Fi on. I think it was probably due to media server scanning for other devices over Wi-Fi network. It was going crazy when I was at uni as there were so many devices around me. Had to keep my wi-fi disabled just to listen to music.
You guys getting the same issue?

Unfortunately not, even worth wifi disabled it still happens, makes no difference.
It seems to be kernel related, perhaps something to do with cpu states or such because it only happens for me in sleep mode, it also happens when apps install so could be I/O related.
I'm starting to think sony rushed the Z 4.3 update, the T leak does not suffer this bug and it also has transparent nav bar by default!

Can we use bluetooth/a2dp libraries from other devices or versions of Android?
For example can we put Xperia Z 4.2.2 bluetooth files into the Xperia Z 4.3 firmware?
Thanks
On 4.3 Drummerjeds stock pre-rooted and deodexed rom with PXA23 I don't get any stutter when streaming. Is it only a problem with music stored on the device? (Doesn't appear to be an issue either with music from Google Play music stored on my external card). Just wonder if it could be related to my having the kernel tweaks on Power Guard Pro running in learning mode, if it's related to a problem in sleep mode?
Just want to inform you guys that I have no stutter whatsoever with walkman but I'm on the official C6602 4.3 ROM, but the screen sometimes flickers in chrome, the most annoying bug so far

I only use Streaming from Play Music, issue still appears,
Though I am leaning to the kernel going to sleep causing the issue,
