[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] Strange music started playing..

Hi everyone. I'm really freaked out. I have an N1 running CM6.1 stable and it's always been working fine. This morning though, my phone started playing this strange hawaiian-style music loop by itself and I have _no_ idea where it comes from. I've tried rebooting and it started playing again so I'm thinking I may have caught something.
I tried to look it up and haven't found anything. Has anyone else heard of such a thing happen to android phones before?

Were you plugged into the computer via USB when it happened? I know that if your ringtone was stored on the SD card and you are plugged into USB with mass storage enabled, the phone would play a ringtone from internal storage when you received a notification.

it's just a ringtone... are you sure you've not setup any app for services?

That sounds about right. Although I've never seen it happen before. Thank you very much!

This reminds me of a freaky incident with my phone.
I picked up my phone to go out and I hear my own voice saying, "Hello? Hello?".
I was pretty freaked out but had no idea what it was.
Then it happened again the next day.
And the day after. All around the same time, and all when I picked up my phone.
I eventually remembered I had tested a sound recorder app a while back, so my "Hello?" was recorded as a wav file on the sd card. When picking up my phone I would unplug the headphones, physically pulling out the plug triggered the 'play' as if the headphones had the remote that came with the phone. The music player then played the first file it found which was my test recording.

^-- this is freaking addictive O.O

It's when the strange voices start that you have to worry, especially if you don't have your phone!

It happens to my android phone too, and quite frequently i must say. i dont have any music app or anything to trigger that type of music. Its hawaian style and also there is this sound like someone is taking a picture! Its really weird but i've laughed it off until now. Has someone found any solution? Btw it happens to my friend too!

Strange music strikes again
Mine too. Android device.

I think it's solved. From the sms app. Did you received any strange sms earlier before this music start playing? I did and I think they are connected.

[Q] Headphone Jack Not Working!

So I decided to use my headphones today for the first time and the sound is distorted and Google now would automatically start every ten seconds! Anyone else having this issue? I used my headphones on my laptop with no problems. This really blows.

I didn't have this exact problem. I did get the google now thing a lot. And only some times. Like some days it wouldn't happen at all and others it wouldn't stop. I also have been having a problem with if I kneel/bend my body to much it'll shut the music off.

Clear the dust of headphone jack and give it a try and also give it a look that if the headphone is plugged in properly or not. I mean if it's Completely inserted or not

I have a similar problem. When using the headphone jack i just receive sound on one channel, the other one is mute. The only way to receive sound on both channel is to force the headphone plug to the left

Have you tried with different headphones?

Speaker pop bug

After a certain amount of time, or opening a certain app, the phone will develop this annoying speaker pop on some screen clicks. I haven't figured out what causes it yet but it happens even when the phone is set to "total silence". A reboot always fixes it. I had my screen clicks enabled but have turned them off and rebooted and everything is fine now. If I figure out which app or circumstances cause it, I will post the fix.

I'm having the same issue. Happens during app launch for pretty much all my apps.

Reboot fixes it temporarily. If you notice it happens after the speaker goes dormant. If the speaker is making continual sound it won't do it. Once to goes to make its first sound after sitting, it pops. Even does it on silent. Don't know what is triggering it yet.

Supposedly someone has done a FDR and no longer has the issue.

I will let others try that first because it takes a couple hours to get everything back to the way I like it without root.

I have not experienced any kind of "pop" from my speaker at all...

The pop has not returned today and the only thing I did different is not hook up the mod. It may be that.

Try disabling audio effects and rebooting.

Well that really wouldn't say much because a reboot fixes it every time by itself. Where is the audio effects setting?

I started noticing this in the Twitter app.

I've noticed this as well. When scrolling through my FB or IG feed, any time a video starts playing (even with the sound defaulted to off), I hear a tiny lil speaker pop. It doesn't particularly bother me all that much, but I definitely noticed it.

I was thinking about it the other day and noticed it sounds a bit like a static pop. Kinda like when you plug a guitar into an amp when it's on. Might be some sort of initiation for the speaker. As long as it doesn't affect anything else or causes damage, I'm not too bothered by it. Especially hearing that it's as widespread it is.

hey guys ive figured out what is causing it but the solution might be some sort of software patch.
its the act of connecting to a BT device and then streaming audio like XM/Google music ect. once you disconnect the pop/snap sound appears on all things that activate the speaker. the twitter pull down is the best thing to test this with but it happens on all sounds from the first time you play a song/video to changing a ring tone ect.
here is a video of the sound. ive tried it on both my cars BT, a bose standalone BT speaker, and even and old FM transmitter and all the BT devices cause the pop once they are disconnected.
the reason why its happening is a little over my head but I was thinking something with DRM possibly?
another thing i discovered is it does not happen on the non Force regular Moto Z. I tested the exact same scenarios on it and it does no speaker pop
I was going to return my phone for another but this thread and a few others makes me think its a full on bug with the Force not a bad phone out of the box
ive tried a simple network reset clearing BT but that didnt work. before I try any luck with a factory reset or is it a waste of time?

Looks like this has been posted on the Moto forums https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z-Force/Speaker-issue/td-p/3382728

Well it makes sense why I've never heard it then...I've have not had my phone connected to a Bluetooth device
Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I have confirmed today that it definitely is not "mod" related. I haven't had my JBL hooked up in 48 hours and there has been no pop. I drove to work today listening to music through my truck speakers using bluetooth. Pop is back. @MCN1SMO was right, it is bluetooth related. The only way out is to reboot. LAME.

Just my two cents on the topic, I am not having this issue, however, I do use bluetooth daily, my phone has been on continuously for almost two weeks now. I work outside so use the JBL speaker and have my phone in my shirt pocket listening to music while working. I keep it at about 80% volume for battery life. I am averaging about 6 hours of listening a day.
Also I have my bluetooth connected to the work truck (Ford Sync) to and from work which includes a 4 hour commute home on Fridays and back on Sunday nights to the town I stay in during the week. I have yet to hear any kind of pop from either the JBL or device speakers.
Personally I keep bluetooth off when I am not connected to a device I am not sure if this has any effect or not but it could be worth testing if you are able to replicate the problem. I have been taking off the speaker when not using it as well, but have left it on a few days.
I do also remember reading about an issue with Pandora and bluetooth. I am not sure if Pandora is what you are using or not, if it is try something else and see if the problem persists. I stopped using Pandora a few years back when I was a mechanic and had a bluetooth adapter for a code scanner for cars. If I opened Pandora I would have to reset before the adapter would operate normally.

audio going in an out

Suddenly audio is randomly going in and out. I noticed it mostly on Spotify but does it on youtube too. It'll happen in spurts... Gets all quiet for a second like 6x in a row. Then sometimes it'll just pause itself. Does it from the phone speaker and also blue tooth. Any ideas? It's very annoying.

Wow thanks for the help guys

People are NOT just sitting here waiting to answer your questions.
Patience. I have not seen anyone else report an issue like that.

I once had a problem like that and it was the sweat getting inside my headphones that would short circuit them and make the app skip as I jogged. It was weird because it would take about 1/2 hour jogging to show up and then after an hour or so when it dried up or would work again. If I wasn't exercising it would not happen. It drive me crazy for months thinking something was wrong with the phone. Finally, bought headphones that were sweat proof and no more problem. Perhaps this is your problem.
