I haven't seen this posted anywhere, but no matter which rom I use (tried them all, currently on Revolver 0.2) when the screen is off, Google Music won't advance to the next song in the playlist. It buffers and is loaded because as soon as I hit the power button to turn the screen on (don't even have to swipe to unlock) the next song starts playing.
Anyone else have this issue or an idea of how to fix it? It's frustrating only listening to one song at a time. Thanks!
noticed that aswell i had it also play a few songs before i had to repower it.
Same here. But worse, when I turn on the screen to advance the song, there is now crackling and static in the audio, which only goes away by closing and restarting the Music app.

Yeah, I get the crackling too, but I've found that it goes away if I just pause it for two seconds and then resume playing.
Very annoying indeed, unless you set the screen to never turn off. Anyone know of any 3rd party app that can advance through the songs?
I think this is an issue with Google Music. I sometimes have the same issue with GM on my Evo.
I have no issue with GM on my MyTouch 4g.
Mine advances to next songs fine with screen off, been using it for a couple weeks, in fact I'm listening to Adema now on it as I work and it's advancing fine with screen off.
Change your WiFi Sleep Policy to never. I think what's happening is that when its going to the next song, WiFi is deactivated because your tablet is in idle status.

My Tf wifi is set to never, still has the same problem. Google Music has a bug, all of my other music players work flawlessly. The GM pause even happens to me with local music.
Ignore me I should have read the thread title before posting, apologies to all!

ubermusic doesn't support Google Music.
Guess you don't know what Google Music is?
Google Music syncs with a online playlist. More info @ http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/11/google-music-beta-walkthrough-what-it-is-and-how-it-works-vide/
Thanks, to be perfectly honest I skim read the title and just assumed it was the stock music player app that was being referred to as that has exactly the same issue. I knew of Google music before.
Sorry for the misplaced reply.
Looks like this is fixed in 3.2, at least on mine. No more reaching for the power button to goto the next track. Thanks Google.

Happening to me on 3.2 but on my acer iconia both the lack of next song and static
I'm on the latest firmware and it doesn't seem to be fixed. Clear Data and everything else doesn't seem to work as well. Any ideas?
Hi all,
ICS 4.0.3
Ver. 3.32.707.10
I was wondering if anybody else is encountering similar problems.
Ever since the ICS update, my music player, podcast player (beyondPod) and e-book audio player have gone crazy.
I cannot understand the logic behind it, but the player either stops, skips, pauses, jumps... u name it. Not all the time, but (please do not laugh!) when the car door is slammed shut.
It got me thinking. Is it the shock or the vibration? Tapping or gently bashing the phone does not disrupt the player. Only door of the car closing. It happens every morning and every night when someone gets off the car before me.
Rebooting, taking battery out, clearing out some stuff from my Micro SD... simple stuff to eliminate causes have had no success.
Only rebooting the phone can solve the problem. Force closing the app does not help.
I was thinking that after a heavy days use, maybe the RAM was running out, bu the problem starts even within 20 min of reboot, with no other unnecessary apps running.
I am using Jays headset app since my headphone has that button that allows me to stop/play skip and volume control etc. This has nothing to do with it? I have had it for a while since Gingerbread...
If it were apps from the market that was problematic, i can understand. But since this affects the stock music player as well as other audio related features, I am baffled.
Anybody else? Suggestions?
Found the definitive cause. But still have no solution.
OK guys and gals...
I had my podcast player and stock sense music player do crazy stuff on me, ever since the ICS update.
Maybe the scratched paint is the cause of headache for some people, and covering/insulating it may relieve it of problems, but my feeling is that for quite a few that have posted on this thread, their reasons of malfunction differ, and in fact, are on the same boat as I am.
Please read my post which is the link below to understand the full symptom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24511005
I am not sure if ICS update from GS is related to this problem directly or indirecty. All I know is that I had a happy sensation until the update OTA.
Here is the reason why I know that neither the paint or back cover of sensation is the cause of skipping/jumping/stopping/calling last contacted....
I tried the experiment with the back cover off, but I could not replicate the problem, thus no paint chip, back cover or short circuit of any kind is the answer.
So, by method of deduction, with the cover off, I tried wriggling the headphone in the socket to see if that had any effect. None. I tried plugging and unplugging. None. I tried using the remote button to control the music app and the podcast player. No problem. The play/pause/vol up and down etc all worked fine. I even uninstalled the jays app and tried. Without the app, the button on my headset does play and stop, answer and end calls. It got me thinking, and the environment it caused the symptoms only could point to the mic on my headphones.
And guess what? It is the bloody Microphone on the headset. I bet you there are some of you with this problem using the stock headset supplied that have built in hands free.
Basically, the pressure spike caused by slamming of he car door, is the same effect as blowing into the mic of the headset. And once this is done, the only way you can stop is reboot.
Since there have been no posts on this thread, and while I was hunting desperately for answers, I came across a different thread. Similar symptoms. I posted there too, so u might want to take a peep.

Weird symptom. Possible solution? (Apart from using headsets without mic)
I have the same problem with my Sensation after i flashed the ICS. I have flashed two different custom ICS and with both i had the same problem. The music app goes crazy. I haven't find any pattern on what is that that cause the music app go crazy. When I touch the jack of the headphones (the original headphones of the Sensation) the app start forwarding, skipping track pause, etc. Also the same happens when i put the phone in my pocket. I haven't found any solution but maybe is the signal from the microphone as you said. When i shake the jack i think that signal noise i created and makes the app go crazy.
I hope someone will find a solution soon.
I just found a way to hear music in my ICS Sensation. I just disabled the default music app in the app settings that comes with the rom and i have installed the ESfile explorer which has its own music player. I am using ESFileExplorer's music player and i don't have problems till now...
Hope this is useful for someone.
I think issue is software related. Look here:

Does it happen ONLY when using headsets? I have the same problem, but is caused by the jack connector (only in ICS). It randomly sends signals that the phone understand as multimedia commands. If you remove the headsets and play the music with the speaker, no problem at all.
Crap.
I installed Equalizer and was happy with it, until last night. I've eliminated the headphones and the Note itself as the culprit. (Headphones work fine on MP3 player, and audio sounds great from speakers. Also, initial "Samsung" startup sound is fine through headphones.)
I'm getting A LOT of sort of squeaky static when using Equalizer, either with Music Player or Video Player. The static doesn't start right away, but after a minute or two. I REALLY like the way the audio sounds with Equalizer (minus the static), so I'd like to keep using it. But it's unbearable the way it is. I poked around in the Equalizer settings, as well as Music Player settings. I've got my Music Effects set to Equalizer. I have no other sound effects app running.
Also, I can't seem to disable Equalizer. I force stop it, and it keeps coming back to appear in my notification area. Can't find a setting for that, either.
Anyone else have any issues with this app?
Thanks!

Just noticed the same issue myself. I'm not 100% sure it's because of Equalizer yet, though... still have to do a few more tests. But it does seem to be the likely culprit.
I know what you mean... I really like Equalizer, so I'd love to be able to use it, but I think the static problem would be a deal killer for me if the app turns out to in fact be the cause of the problem. I'm especially choked since I JUST paid for the full version, like half an hour before realizing the problem!
BTW, for what it's worth, I'm using an Asus Transformer Infinity.

Just so as to not tarnish the reputation of Equalizer, I've now come to the conclusion that the problem is NOT in fact the Equalizer app. It happens with or without Equalizer running, and regardless of whether "Music effects" in settings is set to the stock option or Equalizer.
What I just found out today is that the problem seems to be related to playing of media off of the microSD card. When I play a movie off of the microSD, I get that buzzing sound. But when I play the exact same file off of the internal storage, it's gone! I guess this is a sign that there's some interference being generated by the microSD port that isn't properly shielded. Lame, since I was using the strategy of keeping all my movies on a microSD card (and a strategy I'll now have to change), but at least it's resolvable.
Try another SD card. I also keep the media files on the SD card and I have no problems .

I have a Samsung Galaxy A8, and when I play mp3s I get weird static sounds and popping noises, I also experienced this on the Samsung Galaxy S8. However when I would play the same song through YouTube on my phone I wouldn't get the noises. After reading this thread and trying all the different suggestions to no avail I thought to myself hang on I'll try and play an mp3 on my (Samsung Galaxy Tab a 10.1. SM-T580) To my surprise no static or popping noises. I am not sure as to why this is however I thought I would mention it for you or other people to work out a possible workaround.

Neither of your models are this model Note 10.1
Ok so after a few days with the service..... and a few buddies with it this are our concerns. If any of these have answers i would love to know about them.
First one is no independent sound volume. So for example a turn by turn GPS navigation you cant hear.
Second music that you have on your device fails to make a radio station for. Its fine if it cant but dont give me the option.
Third I cant tell if music is in my library or not. Spotify for example always has the yellow star to let you know.
Fourth if you sort by title and then add something to your my library it flips back to defualt sorting.
A few other minor things but those are the major ones.
If anyone has any ideas please let me and my buddies know
I've searched all over, and I feel kinda like I'm the only one experiencing this issue. :crying:
We all know, normal operation is as follows: You play music via bluetooth. When you get an event that generates a sound, usually, the music plays a bit quieter, the sound plays and then the music returns to normal volume.
Whenever I use ANY Lollipop ROM, after the sound plays, the volume keeps turning up (even higher than I can with the volume controls) until the sound becomes distorted and very obnoxious to listen to. A quick work around is just to toggle the volume down then back up. However, you can imagine how difficult that is in the shower, or when I'm driving.
I've reverted back to 4.4.4 for now, I don't have those issues. But I'd really like to upgrade to Lollipop. I'm hoping someone has some insight into this, or at least this will get the ball rolling.
Thanks for your time! :fingers-crossed:
I have the same problem on Lollipop
*sigh* this thread got about as far as they all do. LOL No one seems to know what the issue is

Yep, I'm having the same problem. I can't listen to music and use Google Maps voice navigation at the same time in the car because of it. My solution was to mute the voice.
Looks like we'll just have to wait it out. It's a very strange problem; even stranger still it applies to all Lollipop ROMs. I also thought I was the only one!

Guess we'll have to wait until this gets the attention of someone who can do something about it. Until then, I'm stuck at KitKat --- Oh Also, new fact.. I't's NOT just bluetooth, it happens when using wired audio too.

LOL glad to see I'm not the only one!
I dont get it with wired, but I get it with Bluetooth. I pause and play my audio and it goes back to normal levels.
I have another problem. Every time I'm listening to music (Spotify) in-car I can't listen to the navigation voice! It keeps lowering the volume of the media down every time the lade in the phone should say something but instead it's just silent!! This is getting really annoying and dangerous at the same time (while driving)! Even the "Here" app from Nokia doesn't play over any bluetooth connection (including BT Speakers)!
