Is it just me or are other people having problems playing MP3s ?
Have just tried playing some from my SD card, they play for 29seconds and then advances to the next MP3, anyone else found this problem ??
Cheers
Like I have tried saying before - this is to do with the application 'close all programs'.
Don't know why - only happens after you use that program without a soft reset.
SO you are saying if I don't ugo into the memory area and do a close all that windows media player will work fine ??
Or are you talking about the program that is bundled in Midgets apps ?
If you have a battery meter program, try disabling it, and see if that helps.
I use iLauncher for my meter, and there is an option for that to use polling instead of whatever the normal way was, and it fixed the issue. It also fixed the issue by disabling the meters totally.
Nope not got much else installed really, PIE and Opera are the two apps I installed, oh and Midgets extras pack !!
i would have to agree with alan... i have just installed a bettery meter.. and since i have installed i have had the same problem... guess im just going to have to uninstall the battery meter when i want to listen to tunes... no biggy!!
if I am not wrong WMP problem has nothing to do with the battery. the problem playin files for few sec the jumping to next comes and geos. you may likey ones you start the WMP the player plays normal until next time it apears again
I know it has nothing to do with the battery, but, iLauncher battery meter standard settings, WMP skips, turn off meter, WMP plays, switch meter to polling method, WMP plays, switch back to normal, WMP skips.
Like I said its that program that auto closes all programs in the memory, I think you get it from 'midget_1990_tweaks_and_hacks'. Same program is included in Helmes 3.5 version 1 ROM.
I know this cause I noly get this problem if I use that app. If you don't use this app then its another issue. Just sharing my findings. Hope it helps in some way or at least rules out an app.
I agree with mrbrightside, it works fine after a softreset AFTER you use that 'Close Apps' program. If no soft reset is done when Close Apps is used, the problem appears. Glad I found this thread though. Just confirmed what I thought was happening.
I have the same problem here, except it’s only plays for 6 seconds! I’ve been wondering what the h*ll happened to my WMP? Haven’t tried the solution above but I think it comes from either spb pocketplus (today plug in) or the close all utility
Thanks guys! Let’s see which one will be the solution! i'll post it latter....
I have Helmi's WM6 with Spb pocket plus, works fine for me...
Does seem to be the "Close Apps" program specifically, was outlined in Helmi's WM6 post. If you're using pocket plus, it has a built in full close application which doesn't cause a conflict with WMP.
Good luck all
i don't have that close apps program installed and my midia player tends to starts songs all skippy, like it's in fast foreward and then 5 seconds later it stops that and plays normally.
anyone else have this problem?

Have you done any registry speed tweaks? In a WM5 ROM I had it started doing that after I did some registry edits, but it played normally when I plugged in some earphones. I didn't get rid of it until I got a Crossbow ROM.
So what ever registry tweaks you've done, undo them, or just plug in some earphone and see if that works. I don't remember what reg key it was though...
yeah it stops skipping after i plug head phones in.
i'm running jwrights new wm6 rom.
i have tweaks 2K2 INSTALLED.. i'll try playing around with it..
well!, in tweaks i had low background quality of wmp on.
i turned it of, and it'll skip once when the song starts and it's fine. thats great! good enough for me, you're a good man!
WMP Skipping
I had the same problem also when i first installed the new Helmi_c 3.5 rom. But after a soft reset, the problem seems to disappear. Strange.. Will try and see whether the problem persists.
argh actually i have the same problem and even after soft resets it still persists.
i'd like it to stop but nothing i';ve tried works. it's not too bad though, i'm rarely playing music on the external speakers anyways
check the file format of your tracks
initally was experiencing the same problem of media player shutting down after a few seconds using mp4 files.. i converted my track to mp3 and it seems to of resolved the problem all tracks now playback normally

I'm having an unusual graphics performance problem. This is different from all other complaints, as far as I can tell. Most raph graphics complaints center around consistent slower than expected performance. My problem is that non-3D graphics performance seems to decrease over time. Let me explain...
After my device has been on a while (sometimes a few hours, sometimes a few days), I will notice that when I click the start button to launch an app (yes I use the built-in start button lol), I can noticibly see the entries draw. If I go into an app that has heavy use of form controls (checkboxes, listboxes, textboxes, etc... all the built-in windows stuff), you can watch it draw all the elements on the screen. Scrolling just makes it worse.
However, 3D accelerated apps are just fine. For example, Manila draws as fast as ever. Even Opera draws fast.
CPU is not bogged down. Apps load quick, they just draw slow. If I open DotFred's task manager, I can confirm that the CPU is nearly idle and no application is bogging it down.
This problem seems to only affect GDI or win forms elements.
Does anybody have any clue what might cause this? Since I don't see anybody else complaining about this, I figure it must be something I did or installed, or something like that.
I'm using the Sprint stock ROM.
EDIT: Even if you don't know what's wrong, if you have any diagnostic suggestions, I would be grateful. I've tried terminating every running app and service that isn't system critical. I've tried different graphics tweaks suggested for WinMo. No luck. :-( Soft reset is all that fixes it. I may try a hard reset, but I'm just so satisified with the way my system is set up, I don't want to. Plus, "reformatting" is such a unsatisfying conclusion to a problem. I like to know why. LOL.
EDIT 2: I have reason to suspect it may be RSSHub's scheduled task to refresh feeds that may be the cause. I just disabled it. Will report later if this fixes it. I had almost 20 hours of no slow down and then as soon as i noticed it happening (painfully slow start menu redrawing), i saw RSS Hub had JUST started downloading a podcast. Let's see if this is the cause. *crossing fingers* I'm not 100% sure because I've killed RSSHub.exe before and the speed was still slow. So whatever causes the slowness doesn't stop until a soft reset, even if the process is killed (i'm guessing).
EDIT 3: It must have been coincidence because RSSHub hasn't run in over 24 hours, but I woke up this AM with a slow phone. Still investigating...
I know you said you'd rather not hard-reset, but still I suggest you to try a different rom (not a stock one). I use energyrom 2.0 on my raphael 100, which is unbranded. The rom is sort of 'made for' the fuze, but works fine on my tp. The only thing you have to figure out before you flash is how to fix the hadware keyboard, which is by default set to the fuze. I recall it's a simple registry change, but can't remember which one.
Good luck

I prefer to use the stock rom. First, I really like Sprint Navigation and Sprint TV. Second, Sprint support immediately stops talking to you if you use a custom ROM (and I've had to exchange my TP three times for different unrelated reasons -- bad luck I guess or poor HTC manufacturing standards). Third, hard resetting is just not as satisfying as actually solving the problem. I'm just weird that way.
EDIT: After "EDIT 3" (above), I'm closer to hard resetting, but I'll likely stick to the stock ROM for the afforementioned reasons... Unless after hard resetting it starts happening again, that is.

The music tab keeps crashing after playing song for about 10 to 15 seconds, there is nothing else running, iv soft reset and its the same! wasnt doing it before I installed coreplayer
Anyone else with coreplayer experiencing this problem? im using version 1.3.6 build 7427
Please help, was hoping to go for a drive using phone for music and sat nav at same time
Had the same problem, with Coreplayer installed (1.3.6). I did a hard reset yesterday, starting all over again, and AudioManager.exe crashed twice without having Coreplayer installed, so I think the problem is with HTC's AudioManager, not Coreplayer. I've had two freezes of the audio tab today, which spontaneously disappeared later (the music suddenly started playing again, really weird, I was browsing my calendar at the time...)...

KK will do hard reset then. just wondering if it is coreplayer if its only 1.3.6 that makes it worse, because the people on 1.3.5 said everythings working fine

Ehm, dude, I don't think it's Coreplayer. Feel free to do the hard reset, but it might not solve your problems - it didn't in my case.

Sorry, can't verify it. I also have Coreplayer 1.3.6.7427 installed and the audio tab works fine. might be some third app crashing the party.
My HD2 does the same thing - I got it only for a few hours with no other apps installed. Very annoying ...
Hi
I was using WkTask as task manager, but I am having problems with thi program.
for example, when it is running, every game or weather animation, skips frames, playing experiment 13, every 3 seconds, I got a skip animation in the game, or on weather home screen on a cloudy day, I can see the clouds skipping frames.
If I unninstall the progra, then all runs again smooth.
So, be aware that this program affects severe to the graphic performance.
Even if its the best tas manager, it is not a good program for our hd2
it is a great program. I was having problems with my start button, it woud freeze nd i wouldnt be able to press start. I had to reset my device and it would work again, then after a couple of hours the same thing would happen. I keep wktask off and everything is now fine

your problem is wkTask itself.you have to create exeptions in preferences.for each folder you have in startmenu just type name of folder and then mark Don't Close with X button.and you have to add "Start" as an exeption as well.after that no problems any more :-D

can you try experiment13 and confirm that runs smooth all the time and doesnt get any noticeable skips?

and i forgot to say that you DON'T HAVE TO hard reset when this happens.just soft reset and your start button works again and you can check your wkTask settings.
Ok, no problem polystirenman, I was trying all again, and I finally found the problem
It seems to be that pocketclock pro doesn't like much WkTask, and when it is open lags all the phone, If I close the program, all return to normality and I don't have any skip.
thanks by the way to say that your WkTask works fine.
My fault

that's why we are here.only if we work together we will be able to get the best out of our devices.glad that you found the problem
i like this tool too...
But i would appreciate if the developers would eliminate some bugs, especially this with close "start"...
If you click close from the menu on the Start... this still disapear even when you set it on the exeption list. Also if you install a new software and this software creates a new folder in Start... you have to manual add this value in the exception list...
But still i like this tool
Weird one here, 'cause I can't seem to figure out what could be wrong.
I have owned 3 WinMo devices over the last few (many, I'm very careful) years but something has been bugging me with all devices; WM2003, WM5, last one WM6.1 recently upgraded via official T-Mo Rom to WM6.5.
* Multitasking has always been a problem, usually could only run few progs until an app closed itself (without warning) or I got low mem message
* Sometime running a single app, nothing else, even the single app like for instance Opera or Skyfire (while viewing a light site) browser would suddenly be gone (while browsing, or when turning on TP2 from standby).
I had the above with ALL my WinMo phones, all the above mentions OS. From almost fresh out of the box till using a device for more then 2 years. I thought it was just me, or that this was just something WinMo does standard and I would just have to get used to it. But since viewing vids on YouTube of for instance someone showing of his new TP2 while having about 10 heavy apps open in his taskmanager and then even showing Terminator 4 on high quality in CorePlayer. I thought *damn?* I didn't even see a bit of extra lag on his device?
Through Advanced Config i turned off the automatic closing of apps when mem usage is high, thought this would solve it; no dice...
Then I started thinking maybe it is an app I installed on every device so far. This is not really the case, although I do almost always install SPB Pocket Plus, and then via Pocket Plus menu uninstall almost all tools except the task bar battery indicator which I found handy, but this simple thing couldn't be causing all this on all different devices right? And every app I ever install I always check for a newer version before installing, or redownload software instal packs when something (like moving / copying, etc) could have damaged the install pack.
On my TP2, it's been getting more and more recent that most apps are just suddenly "gone" while doing nothing spectacular (just TaskMan all the time to check mem and almost never run multiple apps anymore simply trying to prevent that one app disappearing).
Is there a way to get a log file or something to be able to see what is causing all this, cause today was getting to be a "last straw"; both my Opera and SkyFire closes about 20 times in one hour, switched to Pocket IE... And again gone. Sometimes almost immediately, sometimes after using a few minutes. Actually one of the few apps that keeps itself (almost annoyingly) present and never shuts down is PockeTwitter which I started recently, nearly everything else (including standard ROM WinMo software like HTC Album and more) disappear when they feel like it.
Help help... It's like a curse following me...
Ps. To prevent dumb answers: I'm fairly smart with PC's and windows; I used to work in the IT business. So I do indeed know (a bit ) what I'm talking about. I can help other people with their PC and phone trouble; but this is just driving me crazy since there's no error message, nothing to help me figure out what's been bugging me al these years with WinMo.
I would say install a custom rom and then see how things go. My touch HD was a really annoying phone to begin with with all sorts of little bugs but after installing various custom roms nearly everything is ok.
(my phone does sometimes black screen and it needs the reset button to fix- only happens after 5 or more days without reseting)
anyone else having issues with poweramp? works great for a couple weeks, then nothing seems to make it better. i end up flashing a different rom and the problem goes away for a couple weeks. currently running a ported rom. doesnt matter whether i'm on froyo unrooted/stock, rooted, gb port, or gb official release.. cant seem to figure this one out. i've always restored app only, never restore app data. and i have tried removing and installing a fresh version straight from the market..
when this happens it sounds like a cd skipping and the ENTIRE PHONE freezes. it can happen with the screen on while using the phone or with the screen off playing music through the headphone jack. i've tried different voltage settings and profiles, thinking that maybe im UV too much.(but the phone doesnt freeze any other time) when this happens the ONLY way to fix is to pull battery. none of the buttons work, capacitive or external, and the touch screen is completely unresponsive. this is driving me crazy. last night i tried clearing app data and it made no difference. this does not happen with ANY other apps.
ANY IDEAS?!
Did you try emailing the dev?
I've been running PowerAmp with Voodoo on Emancipation for awhile now without any problems. Have you tried any other music player to see if you get the same problem?
Sent from my Blue Emancipated Infuse using XDA
i have not used any other music apps, but i can tell you that this is the ONLY app that crashes the phone. the only thing i didnt like about gb custom roms was that my sms app(chomp sms) wouldn't sent messages sometimes at all, and the stock sms app was intermittent.. ported roms were better for me. and everything force closes on froyo.
Anyone else have issues where poweramp won't see the tags for several songs resulting in them not showing up whenever i go to the library? Some of the albums are missing songs and some entire albums don't show. I can see them without issue in other music players and I can see them in power amp if i browse by folder but they don't show up in library.
Never mind, found them under unknown artist and just manually changed them.
