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.

Dear all,
I noticed my phone has an issue and I think this may not be rom / kernel related, so I would like to ask here.
My phone is running fine every time after booting up, however after running for a random period of times (say 2 - 7 days), it cannot play any media files. I can't play youtube (it said the video cannot be played), can't listen to mp3 (music player reported unsupported codec), ringtone disappeared (phone don't ring if i get call) and other apps failed in similar way. A reboot can solve the issue.
It is a bit annoying (especially when you when to play something and you suddenly identified that you need to wait for 5 min for a reboot), does any one experienced similar issue?
To clarify , I am running darky rom with darky kernel 1.0, however I had this issue for a few months, I was using super optimized kernel and had the same issue as well.
Same here. i'm running Darky's 9.4 but I don't know if it is related to this rom.
I don't remember that I had this problem before.

I have this problem.
(dark kernel 1.4 and darky rom 9.5)
I get this occasionally and I'm on stock 2.2.1. It's a massive pain in the arse. I thought maybe it was something to do with my external micro sd card but I formatted it and waited hours to copy all my music to it again and I'm still having problems.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
So quite a few of people having this problem. Did anyone of us find out the root cause? And what's the reason that others do not suffer from this? This happened on Darky, Super Optimized Kernel, Speedmod, Stock Rom...
Some experts can help?
Also know this problem. Had it on stock and some custom roms too. Tried nearly every kernel ever available for our phone but didnt help. so it really maybe some strange Hardware issue...just speculating but when did you guys get your galaxy? cause mine was one of the `first generation` got it immediately when it was available here in germany in june/july 2010...perhaps this got fixed by Samsung later on

I've seen another thread were someone said it was called by the twitter client. They have updated the official twitter client recently, and I've not had the problem occur since. Although, it may be too soon to tell, it used to happen to me very regularly.
And just to followup, the problem hasn't gone away with the new version of twitter.
So, I'm not sure of what is the cause (or solution) to the issue.

Nope, i though you are talking the twitter update around 1 week ago. I just found that twitter have a new update today and never tried it if it fixed the problem. The change description do mention something similar, fixed a bug to skip music player while updating.. not sure if this is really the case.... need to test now...
good topic
I'm going to get rid of the twitter app then to see if it helps as updates don't seem to have done anything and I reformatted the sd card again and stuck everything back on there today and not only did it happen again, it's getting worse! Not only could I not play any music a minute ago, a load of my apps had vanished too! I assume ones that installed to SD by default rather than the phone storage.
If this sorts it out I'll be very happy. Twitter's crap anyway.
I've been having the same problem for a while now. I have just uninstalled Twitter and will see if that helps.
Basically all media stops working. Can't even record anything with the camcorder app. Nothing plays back. No youtube, no camcorder videos, no nothing. BUT arcmedia will open some videos sometime. HMMM weird, because other video player apps don't seem to be able to play them.
I'll give an update later today if it works. Videos normally stop working after only a few hours on my phone.

Do you guys have 8GB or 16GB models?
I've only come across this once and it was on a stock 16GB, one of the early ones, started about a week ago...upgraded to JVB seems to have solved it for now, time will tell.
16gb model, I've had 3 updates, and none have fixed the problem.

Hi all,
right from the start i noticed lags when recording videos with the LGOB - I´ve used 10a at first but then did a reflash with 10.c German. I use Go Launcher EX.
After flashing it seemed the video lags have dissapeared with the freshly installed phone, but now after a while and after i reinstalled all my apps it´s still as laggy as before, no matter if i record HD or TV format.
To me it seems that some background process may interfere with the camera recording... i´ve tried to use Tasskiller to kill all apps before running the video app but it doesn´t help much.
Is that something you just have to live with on the LGOB or is there any hint to correct this? The generel video quility is very ppor to, especially on quick pans lots of blacks are visible in the video image.
Thanks,
Kusie

same here with 10b firmware. today i wanted to record some long jumps and it skips 3 4 secconds. so i have just the landing or just half of the jumps! ( maybe the speed of the sdcard is the problem? I'll try with a class 6 sdcard to see if the problem is solved or not! this is a serious BUG for me!!!
i dont have this issue and i dont see this issue being brought up anywhere... hmm try installing Nova Rom?

I have read several similar complaints about video skipping and lagging on LGOB... right now i don´t want to go through the whole reinstalling process again after switching from 10.a to 10.c and reinstall all my apps and settings, i think that this basic functionality should be OK in the stock Rom, too.

Hi guys i use to have similar prob on v10b but since i updated my phone to v10e eu open every thing is fine and yes even scrolling is better. Video prob is soft prob not hardware or sdcard.

I have video lags on 10e as well...
now my lgob is in service
for dead pixels or subpixles. aprox 5 pixels! i hope that they will change the screen or change the device with another one. ( so 1 or 2 weeks of waiting!
Has this been fixed??! I'm really pissed off! I tried to record a Taekwondo tournament and I missed the best parts because it's skipping! [email protected]#! HELP!
i don't have any problem....i have v10b and stock card 2gb
I have v10e firmware and Class10 card and no video issues. One of these helped, I assume 10e is that good.
The problem is with SD Card.... It doesn't have enough speed to "write" to sd card your video recording... The cache buffer gets full and it needs to "empty - write" to your card before it can record again...
For most of video recordings with this resolution you need a class 6 sd card - minimum!
Best choice... class 10!
Expensive... but it solves this problems!
i have the same problem with both v10a and v10c. now i changed for a class 10 , 16gb sd card, but the bug still remain; and it can't be cuz the quality of sd card, cuz i tested it and i have 13mb/s in write...
Thats weird!! I've tested this with v10a... and v10f and it works in here!
And... the problem you complain its usually caused by card speed as i said...
Sorry to hear that the problem still remains...
I use a class 10 16gb and nova rom and still lags (not like before)

Format the card with 32kb allocation size and try to restart the phone every time you take a bunch of pictures... That seems to solve the prob for me... To make things simple, I just reboot the phone everyday...
Maybe i solved it. I have installed sd card booster from market and set a value of 2048 as adviced , and now seem to be no lag at all...

Change it for good..
Make sure SD Card Cache size is set to 128KB... Sometimes, this happens if another app is accessing the SD that are usually slow like Class 2 (which I have)...
Try SD Booster or something, I think it's effective...
use swap, sdcard cache
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.

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.

Does anyone else have this problem? I get a lot of lag and the screen freezes several times after opening the camera. Sometimes the phone freezes upon pushing the shutter button also.
The storage location is set to SD. I had to change it a while back; the phone would completely freeze when trying to save a video to internal memory. I had to power it down.
I am rooted but on the stock rom. I have removed some ATT bloat, but otherwise all stock.

I've been thinking that or low read_ahead_kb values....or the sd just needs to be formatted. Fat is a crappy and easily corruptible file system.
//We could be using ext2, since ya know, Windows has ext2 drivers and all, but using a Linux based files system on a Linux based devices just doesn't make sense.
//PAC suffers from low read_ahead_kb values.....
Yes, I think a simple format will fix it...
