[Q] {SGS} Very often, media can't be played anymore, have to reboot. - General Questions and Answers

Hiya guys and girls!
Very often, my SGS won't play any media anymore. If i press play on my meridian widget, it skips through all the songs in the selected album and then gives an error which says something like can't play this media. After rebooting it starts working again. I suspect it has got something to do with my (standard) earplugs, because it doesn't seem to happen when i don't use the earplugs. I'm running Darky's Rom, but had the problem with Froyo as well. Not as often however, but maybe that's just me .
Does anyone know a solution or cause for this? It's pretty frustrating.
Thanks in advance!
Lennart

W100 and WM6 Official (ANZ Release)

Hi All, Just a general interest post..
The W100 headphones appear to function very nicely in the official WM6.
Now when you tap the power button to turn off screen / lock keys my music keeps playing under windows media.
As for earbuds I am using a set from a SE w800i headset. Would not satisfy any audiophiles but they are ok for me and the length is perfect for the W100.
Have had some problems with Media Player Music Library
I just delete:
-Delete the folder \CF Card\MSMETADATA
-Delete the folder \CF Card\WMDRM
and it is all ok again..
I found the workaround from xda-developers - always pays to search..

Not quite as good for me...
When I turn off the screen the music keeps playing, but only till the end of the song I'm listening to. Will not play any other songs until after I turn on screen.
Not a biggie really.

Have not had this problem.. If i select a library / album it plays till all songs are done..
Just as a side note today i had an album playing with TomTom running at the same time (sceen on) and voice prompts were playing over the music with any issues.
Other the TT i have not played with any settings all is default load.
You're Right
If you select album it will play the whole album through while screen is off.
I was having a problem because I was trying to play all the music on my mini SD in shuffle mode.
Seems that the screen needs to be on in order to shuffle the music.
I'll keep testing.
Hmmm that's weird. The problem seems to have fixed itself.
Don't know what I did exactly...have hard resetted several times since flashing. Different software combinations seemed to have adverse effects.
But I've noticed things more stable since I upgraded from SPB Shell Mobile v1 to v1.5.
Could just be coincidence though. Either way I'm happy it's working like it should
I seem to have this problem. I;ve not got shuffle mode on.
Also notice if I select album to play and then pause then play again the problem occurs.
Need to do some more testing but would be interested to know what others have found.
Also I have the W100 which people are complaining about. It does what its meant to with WMP and if I can overcome this play problem then I don't see a problem it is doing its job.
Capeli - i noted in some other thread you got a W100 too. what's your view on it now you've used it a while?
Problem with keepting screen off...
Hello~
I wonder whether anyone else has similar issues but...
For me... when ever I press any button to adjust "volume", "Fw/Rw", "Pause/Play" etc...
Screen just turns itself on~.
I just hope that there is way to keep screen off whilest making any adjustments on wmp...
Hope HTC will provide updated cab file to resolve this if this is common
issue with everyone.

People are complaining because the w100 only works with wmp and most people don't use it. It's library sucks, the screen turns on, there's no "exit player", etc... How hard would it be to allow the W100 to work with other software? :\

[Q] music player issues

Does anyone had any problem with their motorola xoom music player? Mine had been acting up recently, regardless if I am using stock apps or downloaded apps, or youtube, the music player will automatically pops up and played the tracks like I opened it. Even when I force close it, it will later pop back up again.
Anyone had similar problems?
I personally haven't.

[Q] Strange problem with Doubletwist when exiting Car Mode

Anyone else experiencing this? I have all sorts of weird issues with Car Mode, but this one takes the cake.
Whenever the Infuse exits Car Mode (whether I have launched Doubletwist in the recent past or not doesn't seem to matter), my Infuse will start playing music over the speaker from Doubletwist.
Launching Doubletwist and pausing play doesn't work, the music continues to play until I go into task manager and kill Doubletwist from there.
All I've got to say is WTF?

I have same problem when i use my Logitech speakers through me headphone jack or when I disconnect my Bluetooth. And mine keeps playing the same freaking song. Haven't figured it out myself either.
OK, that might narrow it down to disconnecting from bluetooth, since that's part of the exit from car mode. I had some unrelated issues with Navigation and did a factory reset yesterday and I'm reinstalling doubletwist. I got rid of AZW launcher as a result of this and haven't reinstalled it. I'll see if this problem continues.
Yep
Still happening with doubletwist even after the factory reset. This has to be a doubletwist bug.

I have had an issue with bluetooth doing this at disconnect. It has primarily been an android issue....not specific to any rom or phone.
Scenario 1. music playing, car gets turned off ie bt device off, music continues to play.
Scenario 2. music playing, car gets turned off ie bt device off, music pauses but resumes randomly
There was once some info in the Evo forums about this but It will take some digging for me to find it. The only solution I can think of now it to completely end (or kill on apps like doubletwist and mixzing) the music app prior to disconnect.
I will see if I can find the googl issue and the info I recall seeing in the evo forum.

I really don't think it's the same thing, actually. What you are describing seems to be a missed event (BT disconnect) that should stop an already running process (music player, doubletwist, etc).
What's happening to me is that doubletwist isn't even running in the first place and it starts playing music on BT disconnect. When you launch doubletwist to stop the music, it shows that it is NOT playing anything, while the task manager shows that it is and the music only stops when the process is killed.
I checked on doubletwist's forums and this issue has been raised and has 12 votes, beginning back in 2010, and they've chosen to not fix it.
I uninstalled doubletwist today and the problem has not reoccurred with a different app, so I think that pretty much points the finger at the app, rather than Android.

that is really odd....
I have issues with a few of my music apps that are very similar. (can't stand doubletwist so that isn't one)
many of them have no dedicated stop/end function, so even if i back out...they still linger in the background unless forcestop
THEN...when the disconnect event takes place they start playing
in your case it sounds like you verified doubletwist is not in task list running, bt disconnects/exit car mode and it starts itself?
I haven't gone so far as to check the task list before disconnect, but doubletwist had not been launched by me. I suppose it's possible it was lurking in the background if Android was running it without my knowledge, but that seems unlikely as often as this happens.
I'm chalking this up to a badly coded app and moving on.

Gotcha....yeah i ditched doubleteist for that reason...there were several system events that troggered it to open on its own...mainly plugging the phone in to a charger...the phone would go into mass storage mode every time.
U made the right decision lol

Bad lag during music streaming (Pandora/Google Play)

Hi all,
To begin, I'm running all stock software, unrooted, etc (HTC Sense 6, Android 5.0.1). I've been having a problem every time I stream music to my phone, and I can't find any relevant information or fixes regarding this. Basically, when I stream either through Pandora or Google Play, my phone starts to act real wacky. It lags when switching between apps, when trying to text (either through Textra or the stock app), or even just trying to navigate through the menus of said streaming program. It sometimes seems like it's misreading where I tap on the screen. For example, I go to hit the 'return' button, and the letter 'p' pops up. Weird things like that. I've been searching for awhile, but I can't find anything pertaining to this sort of thing. Anyone have any ideas? I would assume a phone of this caliber is more than capable of running a few programs at the same time. Thanks in advance!

Are you in the habit of streaming music with the charger plugged in? I sometimes get wonky behaviour when using it plugged in but but necessary when streaming music via Google play

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I've experimented with that actually, but I've unfortunately noticed no difference.

Audio stuttering

Hi all, just wondered if anyone else had this issue. While playing music through google play music everything works fine, even with the screen off, however occasionally when I wake the device back up I might get a slight pause or stutter in the music playback. This can also happen if I'm switching between intensive apps while music is playing in the background. I've performed a factory reset, and it doesn't make a difference if using headphones or not.

probably nope
I'll pay attention to this in way to check if this happens on my phone too, i have the same firmware running except that I'm on B372 (latest build for BLN-L21C432).
Anyway, begin to warn Huawei through their contact form on their site. The first they're aware about this, the first they can work on it and find a fix (if it's possible).
I've noticed the same problem last week. Music stops playing pretty much every second time the screen gets turned off.
Same problem with Spotify and Soundcloud apps, however weirdly enough the default Music app works without any problems.
Any suggestions?
