Hi, is anyone else experiencing issues with playing music stored on their sdcard? The music plays for several minutes and then will just pause for no apparent reason. No sign that the card has been unmounted or anything like that, could it be a problem with the card itself perhaps although I've copied lots of music to and from it with no problems?
Thanks

Hello, Has anyone had this problem. As soon as you play a mp3 or ringtone it skips and plays fine. After it's loaded you can play it from begining to end fine without a skip. It only happens when it firsts loads. Also every time my phone rings the song skips and when I pick answer the phone it then skips again. Im not sure what the problem is I copied these ringtones from my MDA which never had this problem. Im guessing its some buffer or cache problem.

Are the files on your device, or an SD card?
There are some known issues with music and video files having to buffer before playing when they are stored on SD cards.
thanks for the reply, but no they are not. Although they did play fine off my SD card on my MDA I currently do not have a micro SD for my phone.
Check out this thread for more information. There are a few suggested changes that you can make to your device to try and eliminate the problem.
Same problem

I have the same problem. If I go into the phone settings, and I choose an MP3 ringtone and press the play button, there is a jump or skip in the beginning of the playback. If I hit the stop button and then the play button again, the skip is gone. The same thing also happens with calls coming in.
I checked that thread that someone posted, but it mainly discusses if MP3 songs on a media player are skipping or jumping.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I also have all my MP3 ringtones in internal memory.
ok i had this problem to.. dk's 3.02 0.0 rom doesnt seem to have the issue nemore my mp3 ringers which r stored on SD card dont skip nemore..maybe its rom/radio depedent as dumb as that sounds
do you think there is a way to get the fix from that rom rather than change it completely over? I don't want to run into all kinds of other problems by using a new rom.
Thanks for the replies
There has got to be a better way rather than flashing a new rom??
Anyone else having this issue??
Jonathan1683, have you resolved the issue yet? If so what did you do please?
No I haven't I even flashed to duttys rom and it did not fix the problem.
Any one else have any ideas about a fix for this MP3 ringtone saved to internal memory skipping problem??
I could be wrong, but when my phone is connected to my pc with active sync they dont seem to skip when I get calls. Have no idea why
hey Jonathan, I still haven't seen any possible solutions posted here. Have you hard reset and if you have is the problem still there??
Well I just got this phone and it had the problem out of the box, then I upgraded to the new rom released by htc and it had it and I used a cooked rom and it still has it. So I guess that means I have hard reset it. It seems to be worse now somethimes it skipps in the middle of the song too. I don't understand how the cpu could be 2x faster than my mda, but cant handle a ringtone better. The same goes for the slow/crackling dialer. Maybe it's a problem with the sound driver. Who knows....
I only seem to have the issue with the ringtones, and not while playing an MP3. I think there must be a way to fix this. Maybe some kind of registry setting??
My knowledge is limited in this field, but I am sure someone out there can help us.
Okay, I'm a noob and I admit it. I've been lurking for several months, though, so that has to be worth something! And yes, I did a search before deciding to ask this question.
Anyway, I've unlocked my Tilt although I have not changed the ROM from the stock AT&T load. A few days ago I loaded some MP3's onto my SD card and began trying to use my tilt as an MP3 player. After about 30 minutes of playing using Media Player, the sound suddenly quit. ONLY THE OUTPUT FROM MEDIA PLAYER WAS AFFECTED. I shut down media player and restarted it. No effect. I tried HTC Album. No effect. It required a soft boot to get the sound back. I figured this was a blip, and so I tried again. The same problem occurred again. Rebooted the phone. The third time around, I noticed that the audio seemed to quit right after the music paused while Media player attempted to buffer the file. After buffering was complete, media player continued to play the song, but no more audio. BTW, this is true whether I use a wired head set or try and use the internal speaker.
Does anyone have any idea on how I might fix this problem? It doesn't seem like a media player problem, since HTC album refuses to make noise after this occurs.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I had stock xxjpy firmware and my phone started ringing with no ringtone so I tried to play the ringtone and a message came up that sound file is not supported. I rhen tried playing any mp3 file and they would not play. I downloaded the rescan media app to force the phone to scan media afain and this seems to fix it.
It doesnt matter where the mp3 files are stored, they dont play all the time. This means i get missed calls as the mp3 ringtone doesnt play :-(
I did a factory reset and flashed the firmware up to the jan 2011 european firmware and then restored my user apps and data with titanium but this hasnt helped!!!
Has anyone else got this problem? It seems to be an intermittent issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you solve this issue?? I stumbled upon this today, and I can't find a solution..
I had the same problem, and I don't have a fix until now. Somone else will help us?
Also got the problem, and all my mp3's are listed double. Anyone has a clue how to fix this?
Edit: Simple reboot fixed the problem for me. If it reoccurs I wil let you guys know.
I keep experiencing this on a stock Froyo 2.2.1. Reboot solves it but there is no guarantee it won't stop again after a while.
I've found that mp4 and m4a files stop playing too and YouTube videos play but with no sound. Wave files appear to be unaffected and will play when the others are rendered mute
I so with my Galaxy S. I have ROM Darky 9.5.XWJS8 500Hz with kernel Speedmod K13E 500hz.
When he feels like it fails to recognize the .MP3 and stop working to play on mediaplayer and Miui Music, as if I have the ringtone or alarm.
When reboots the SGS turns to play OK, but stop again after a while... I don't understand why.
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.
Every single time I go to play music off of my SD card with headphones plugged in, I get a message that says Music Enhancer has crashed. Anybody else have this problem? Looks like someone is having the same problem on the Verizon forum, but they haven't found a solution yet.

And i send htc the crash report, each time. Happens with and without the earbuds. :angel:
Happens to me pretty frequently as well, but it doesn't seem to affect anything.
