[Q] skipping songs - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i like to run in the streets and listen to music while i am running, i am having this problem with my HTC one, when i walk no problem the music plays great but when i start to run it starts skipping tracks from one song to the next.
i put my phone in a bag on my stomach ( sorry i don't know what it is called ).
any one have an idea why this is happening or how can i stop it?
i am on stock htc rom 4.2.2, i don't think or remember having this problem when it was 4.1.2.

[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?

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.

I actually experience this on Pandora too.

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] Music Player starts after I hang up

Hi all,
this one is pretty amusing at times, but mostly frustrating. So I have a this HTC One which was shipped with Android 4.1. Everything was great. Then I updated to 4.2 using the normal "check for updates" procedures.
Now, whenever I hang up or ignore a call, my MP3 starts playing. Systematically. Sounds like a bluetooth issue (most of my calls are dealt with through my bluetooth headset). I uninstalled the bluetooth app (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC), reinstalled, deleted and re-paired the device. No luck.
I can;t find anywhere a "playback" setting of any kind. Google-is-my-friend tells me I'm not the only one with that issue but so far, no solution.
If anyone has a clue, aside reverting to 4.1, I'd be grateful as this is quite embarrassing when you're in a meeting and you ignore the call... (good thing I got rid of my heavy metal MP3 files...).
Thanks,

I did get a chuckle on this one. The only suggestion I have would be to download a 3rd party music player, check it as the default player, and see if that helps.
Woops sorry buddy I didn't mean not to reply, just been busy. So yeah this is amusing at best. So I uninstalled all apps related to the headset, rebooted once more, and voila ! No more MP3.
As to why it ever happened in the first place, I'm as puzzled as you on that one.
Cheers though,
Well I spoke too early... randomly, after I hang up, there comes the music...
I considered slapping the phone on the wall but that's not very viable.
I went through all the settings for the phone, the music player, the bluetooth headset, I can't figure this one out.
Any ideas you want to throw at me, please do. Thanks,
I think I've been able to narrow it down. I think it only happens (but I have to confirm this) when the "car" application is on. However in the settings I can't see "resume music after a phone call" or something similar.
I think it's the "Car" application, however it's called, because the way the "play forward stop pause" buttons look similar to what's on the screen when the music starts playing... it's a long shot I know.
Do you allow your headset to be a control for the music player? If so, using the headset to hang up may well start the music playing.

Hey guys
I have a problem with listening music on my htc one. Sometimes (quite often) when I turn on music from my phone on headphones the music starts playing on maximum volume level before it goes back to the one that was set before. This causes those short superloud clicks that hurts my ears.
Does anyone know how do you fix it? I believe its a software problem since it was the problem on my earlier HTC One too.
thanks in advance

Weird problem: HTC One M7 automatically dial when using regular earphones/headphones

I've had my HTC One M7 for almost 10 months now and i haven't encountered any issues except for one thing which has been bugging me for a long time... Whenever i got an earphone/headphone plugged into the audio jack (i tried different kinds, all without mics/volume control, including ipod earphones and the original HTC One M7 earphones from the retail box), my HTC One M7 automatically dials the last contact i called in my phone log and it appears to do this randomly. I have been apologizing to my friends and relatives more than a few times in the past months but recently my call log showed automatic calls at 3AM to some of my friends since i fell asleep listening to music, which is really embarrassing since they are my co-workers and i had to explain to them about my phone issue, so they blocked my number for waking them up at night. :silly: I can't blame them but can someone please suggest a solution?
Also, i noticed that the issue is not restricted to automatic redials... it also causes my music to stop or start playing randomly whenever i have an earphone plugged into the phone. I'm using the HTC music app so i'm not sure if using another music app fixes this problem?
I have been researching about this problem and at first i thought it might be an issue with my phone in particular or the custom ROM that i am using (it's the latest ARHD which is pretty stable among all ROMs) but then i discovered that this is an HTC hardware issue which has plagued most of their phones. The problem has not been fixed with the M7, which is very sad since the M7 turned things around for HTC. It happens whenever the earphone jack gets nudged or receives a tiny shock which is enough to cause the wiring to short and act crazy!
I found a software solution although i am not sure if this will fix it.
Headset Button Controller
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headsetbutton
What are the optimal settings to use in that app to prevent this problem? Has anyone tried it?
This problem is incredibly annoying. Can someone please suggest a reliable and permanent solution? I don't want to get rid of my M7... but i will have to, if this problem cannot be fixed correctly and permanently.
There is apparently a free (and better?) app called Headset Blocker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnolol.headsetblocker
But the problem with that app is the restricted support for Android 1.5 - 3.2 so it will not support Jelly Bean nor Kitkat.
Headset is not okay try to clean it with a toothbrush.
