WM6 Windows Media Player

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

[Q] Anyone with lost sound problems?

Hi guys,
I have this great phone for 3 days now and I have a big broblem. It's losing it's sound after some playing with apps and movies shot by camera. Movies would not play, just stay in black screen. At first I thought Talking Tom is causing this, because it was happening whenever i run it. Only full reboot was fixing the problem.Yesterday I did full factory reset with SD erase and set up my phone again with all e-mail accounts and apps, but NO TALKING TOM!
Today the problem appeared again after I was playing with camera and "Connected Media". No sound, movies do not play. On top of this I got a sudden phone restart !
I called HTC support, and after an hour explaining what my problem is they advised me to do a full reset again and NOT to install any apps from the market. I will use the phone for a day or two and see if it's app related issue....
Anyone having similar issues?
My HTC serial starts with HT15EV....

same problem
I'm having the same problem with my friend. bottom of the screen gets very hot. After 3 minutes the phone turns off the sound while playing the Tom Cat. turns off the phone during a conversation.

exactly! It's maybe app related...I'll report in a few days of testing...

After I've installed talking tomcat ( free version ) my sounds where gone.
After doing a factory reset everything went back to normal.

This has happened three times to me ..
Lost sound .. had to do a reset to fix the first and second time.
the third time .. i was able to fix it opening and closing / playing
with the sound Stuff..
Also Noticed the phone became un-responsive was very laggy.
This is a real problem ..
If it happens and you have all your stuff installed..

I am having the same problem with audio, sometimes I get it after playing angry birds, other times watching a video online. It has also made me late for work one day because I didn't realize the sound went out and never heard the alarm. I wonder if its a LOT of phones that have this problem.

The audio problems started happening to me too! The soound would cut out in the middle of watching a movie. Quite annoying,

So far I've only had audio problems whenever I launched the Talking Tom Cat, other apps I'm using aren't problematic.

I had sound go off during just normal use and very slow gps locks (10 minutes)
lost connection as well.

I don't have Tom cat installed but i put 4 films on my sensation and the sound will be ok for 1 and a half minutes but then it goes off u can skip to further in the film and it will work again for another minute and a half then go off again My alam has let me down a few times aswell . Not very happy

i am using TOM CAT on my sensation, but never faced such probl.
Serial starts wid - HT15ZV

For all those having these issues could you please post up the build dates ?

well the problem pertains to app related issue but there is work around install app name volume ace.. when ur fone sound dips down.... fire volume ace and look for sound bar...usually u'll fine system volume gone below 3. increase it via this app jst by simple slider and u r bk..... had this prob with desire hd and this app still works n holds gud...

I have same problem, It happens when I use talking tom for the second time without restarting. Then I have to restart my phone. I am using stock ROM !!

I dont think it is related but all of a sudden my alarms on my phone (alarm clock) dont make any sound I just get the vibration..... yes the ring volume is all the way up, yes it is checked to make alarm sounds while in silent mode, yes I have tried diffrent ringers.... the only thing I didnt try was rebooting the phone.

no sound
i have no sound in any rom.. it's been this way for a while.. i can hear through the ear piece but thats it.. i can't hear with headphones either...

[Q] Google Music Bug

Since last nights update to 3.2 i am getting a blinking screen when in Google music app. It just constantly blinks. i have about 7k sngs loaded onto Gmusic and never had any issues with tab or phone. Currently this issue only blinks on the tab. Still plays music but sometimes if i pull up an artist it won't seperate the albums.......
Is anyone else seeing this and is there any fix? Sorry if this has been addressed else where. I only have limited time at work to post this...

Cleared data. seems to be working for now.no blinks. thanks

I have had blinking occur when opening stock browser. It did go away after a few seconds.

I have this problem too! its like it keeps reloading the music ever 2 seconds and just flickers, if i clear the data/cache and force stop it, it'll work on the first open and then keep doing after until i clear and fore stop again.. anyone have a solution?

I am continuing to get this flickering problem.
The only way to correct it is as stated above- Clear data.
Than open app, it will work fine but than the next time i go into it the same issue- so have to clear data again.
Anyone else have this issue or come up with a permanent fix. Or any ideas...
Thanks, Still on Stock- not rooted fyi

Music player crashes on P6210 stock JB

Just wondering if anyone else is unable to load the samsung Music Player app on the new stock JB from UK/Ireland.
When I load the app it is a black screen with just the Music Player icon in the upper left and it freezes there until I hit back, and it FCs.
I had disabled some samsung apps at the beginning but I reenabled everything and still freezes. Even the google player doesnt work like it should, doesnt let me jump to a different point in a song. Doing so just skips to the next track. So I installed Sensor music player and works no prob. Just a shame tho cuz I quite like the samsung music app (especially the mood thing in the JB version)

The Music Player and Play Music apps both work fine for me on the 6210 running the new JB release. I installed it using Mobile Odin Pro and reloaded any missing apps with Titanium Backup. In Play Music, the time indicator bar works for sliding to a specific point in a track.

I reset on HC before updating to JB, did you factory reset after updating to JB? Maybe that's what I should have done..

When it happens to me I just restart the device, as that forces a media rescan and fixes it too.

Yea I had restarted many times which would have presumably rescanned, yet the rescan app seemingly fixed it.

My S7 has hard-crashed twice today, my S6 never did this.

Just a statement / is this just me.
First crash was this morning. Was playing music on my headphones, always-on screen was being displayed. Music continued to play but none of the buttons did anything and the clock was stuck. I had to hard reboot by holding down the vol down, home, and power buttons.
Second crash was tonight. Watching Youtube video, audio went into a continuous tone, and after 10 seconds the phone rebooted itself.
My S6 never crashed like this requiring a hard reboot. Hell even going through S3, S4, andS5 I never had a crash. Is Marshmallow just shaky?

I've had my phone for almost 10 days and haven't experienced anything like that. Try a factory reset? Maybe there is an app you downloaded that hasn't been updated for MM.

I've had mine for almost a week now and haven't encountered this at all

Still crashes 2-3 times per day, every day. despite my best efforts to disable apps to try to figure out what the problem is. I'm going to try a factory reset + restore. If that doesn't work, it's going back to Verizon or Samsung as defective. I'm guessing either the cloud restore + Smart Switch running in parallel screwed something up, or the hardware itself is physically defective.
It's incredibly disappointing. OS should never be this unreliable regardless of the apps being run on it.

This is what I experienced few days back with Nova Launcher( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UChZaaw58 ), it was the the culprit. Turning accessibility OFF fixed it!
Boot into safe mode and observe if you encounter it again.

I had the same problem with my s7 while playing music through Samsung player It froze on AOD . Hard Rebooted it , removed the Samsung music player
This fixed the problem for me

My S7 came even without Samsung Music Player. I had to manually install it. I think we have the ones with the least bloat available.
