Odd Phone Quirk (MP3 Files) - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

So, as long as I've had my GS4G, the phone has had this odd little behavior. After a day or so, the phone "forgets" that it can play mp3 files. I've seen this on both the stock ROM and Black Ice, since I've installed both on my phone. The problem goes away if I shutdown/boot up the phone, or just restart, but I'm wondering if I'm the only one that's experiencing this or if anyone else is as well.
Of course, if anyone's been able to fix this issue, that's just a bonus.

My friend had that problem on his captivate...was able to fix by uninstalling twitter(no idea why they're related)

I only have one widget disappearing...springpad
I was having random issues with widgets and freezes before root. In my opinion I think touchwiz is just clunky.
Never had the issue with my Captivate.. im thinking about returning it and waiting for the AT&T Nexus S.. I can't believe Sammy would release a phone with this many bugs!

Funny because I have had 0 issues (before or after root)

My vote is That the file system is rfs and that is the culprit. However rumor has it that supercurio is working on a lag fix. I. Have no proof of this. Just an uneducated guess

As usual check to make sure what storage the app is installed on. I am having some issue with my Audiogalaxy widget personally. I never told it to do so, but it installed the app on my internal "memory card" as opposed to on the phone. Move it if you have to.
Try restart after that, and if it still isn't working, try removing and reinstalling.
(I'm beginning to suspect some widgets I am used to may be gingerbread only)
Yeah gtasks is deleting itself and also my videos and mp3s randomly stop working.

well he tweeted it. he didnt say in progress, he simply said he was looking through the infuse source code... and then said the infuse would get the voodoo treatment. first sound, then lagfix. dont expect it this week or next. or even next month. it might come that fast but it might not. he got a sgs2 and may be sidetracked with that, also he is heavily involved with new stuff for voodoo sound, maybe we will get squeezed in to this next voodoo sound release, maybe the one after.
is anyone who is having trouble using apps to sd? that is known to cause disapearing widgets. the sgs's have ample storage for apps. i dont know why people insist on moving them to the sd. maybe they have a fast sd card but the phone doesnt need much. embedded os is kinda designed to do minimal i/o.
I had the same issues with widgets deleting. I had to uninstall and reinstall from market to get the going again.
I should have said this first, my issues only started after rooting. But then again I only had the phone for about 10 mins before rooting it.
got rid of it already though as I have an sgs2 on the way.

odd. I have had zero problems with the phone. no reboots. no widget problems.
i have added/deleted many... including evernote.
no problems.
rooted.
No issues with force closing, but I have had quite a bit of disappearing Widgets. Grooveshark and audible from the same panel in go launcher. I haven't done root or anything.
Can I admit that my love of this phone maybe more than just a man's love for a device.

I had the same problem of Widgets Disappearing, mainly after reboots.
In my case, the culprit was that the applications were automatically installed in the Internal SD (16gb one) of the phone instead of its flash memory... The end result was that when the phone booted up, looked for the widgets /before/ it had finished mounting and scanning the Internal & External SDs, causing the OS to simply removing the Widgets since it could no longer find them.
Try checking on Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> <Problematic App / Widget> (And if available) -> Move to Phone
Reboot and they should stop disappearing.
This totally works. Using go launcher and unrooted Infuse 4G. Both Grooveshark and audible widgets now stay active in the widgets menu.

I have this same problem too. I even went back to AT&T to exchange my Infuse for a new one bcos I thought it might've just been the phone since i haven't found anyone else who's had this problem.
But it happened again after I got my new phone. Do you have Advanced Task Killer ? I found that it happens less frequently if you uninstall that app. When I had that app, it would happen to me every day after a couple hours of restarting my phone. But after I uninstalled it, it rarely happens. I don't know what's still causing it though.
never had issues with Video Player ( built in one )
I have lots of Mp4 , and Divx and even Avi files ; all of them play
Weid thing though I tried to play some DEMO FILES (samsung demos ) couple didnt play any SOUND!!! but then when I played on PC I ahd SAME ISSUE
SO check the file QUALITY BEFORE u decide to change phones
There are few ways to download and convert "YOU TUBE" videos , I msotly convert them after they downloaded ( FLV-> Mp4) so that way I can use on Both iphone(wife) and My Andriod phone!!
HD movies and Music Videos on Infuse ROCK !!!
I get this randomly with mp3's. it's happened about 3 or 4 times. and it won't just be the built in media player. if it happens there it will also happen with google music.
I'm getting this with youtube videos quite frequently. I'm on infused 1.3.0. Was hoping it was an issue with that rom but it sounds like it's happening on stock phones too!
forum.androidcentral.com/samsung-infuse/87903-music-video-files-cant-play-3.html
I have been having this same issue with all media on my Infuse 4g for a while. Restart has always resolved it but it would come back multiple times and day and require a restart. For me, removing the official twitter app resolved my problem and I have been going several days now with no media issues. I don't if this will help or not, but I wanted to post it just in case.
Wow, nice find! Next time I have an issue I'll try uninstalling the Twitter app and see if that fixes mine too.
I shall report back.
Reboot into CWM... and go to fix permissions. Worked for me and I've never got the problem again

Dam! I should've waited until this morning to see all these posts. I went ahead last night and flashed back to stock! Still didn't work!
The problem was not with our tablets or the app. It was an issue on Google's end. It has been fixed and is confirmed to be working on all devices again.
Thank God of Titanium Backup!!! Saved my ass.

Google voice widget problem

I'm having problem with google voice... Seems to appear after using for a while. Anyone have this problem?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
I had this too. I don't know what caused but it seems to be gone after I did Gremlin Remover and formatted SD card a couple days ago.
Thank I'll try...
Still no luck... I did Gremlin remover, then One-Click back to Stock KJ6... Still no luck... Seems the problem is within Google Voice app. I reverted back to 0.4.2.36 and didn't have that problem with the widget. Anyone else seems to experience this on the new version of GV 0.4.2.44 or higher?
Yeah I just noticed it too. It seems the solution was only temporary. I think it is related to the app itself.

Yea I've had the same problem. Some people are able to freeze it but I've tried on my last s3 and this replacement one. It'll freeze then as soon as I restart there defrosted. Its weird.
Tap'n
Same problem here, I even tried disabling them on another non rooted phone.
I can't imagine any problems from uninstalling them, but I just got used to freezing them on reboot or just leaving them alone.
Glad I'm not the only one having this issue.
