I have a problem with my phone randomly pausing the music. This is while using Google's Music app, and I can't seem to find any correlation. At first I thought it was after a certain amount of time (seemed to typically be 45 minutes of music playing) but today while I was running it paused 5 times in 2 hours, at various intervals.
Has anybody experienced this before?
yes. most likely its your connection, when im out it will pause. if im somewhere connected to a router it works with no problem
I searched for Google music app in the market, is this an apk I need to download or something as I'm not in the USA ? Or when you guys are saying google music do you mean the vanilla Android player ?

nah its basically an newer polished version of it.
i also has a cloud music option that i use all the time. my only gripe is that it messed up all my album art for some reason that i had in itunes.
Otherwise it works like a charm on Edge, 3G, and 4G
as far as i can remember its still in beta and was only available in the us market. i'm sure you can find the apk. around here somewhere
I've just confirmed today that it also pauses while listening to the Google Listen app. This time it happened after 1 hour (almost exactly) of listening to podcasts. And of course this was MP3s that were already downloaded, so it couldn't have been a connection problem.
Is this a bug in the Sensation software? I imagine if it was other people would be having this come up.

This happens to me all the time on my Bionic. I use both Google Listen and Google Music (all downloaded content). It's so infuriating. I just want to listen to music/podcasts without it pausing randomly.

Not that this helps, but I've noticed the same thing, with both Google Music and Listen, on both my Nexus One and Galaxy Tab 10.1. I don't get it; Bluetooth is turned off so there's no AVRCP or hardware pause button or anything like that...

Hello Everyone,
I am not sure if someone else had this issue. Its related to the default MP3\Video player on HTC HD7. If i dont open the Music & Videos for some time or may be days and when i choose to play music it does plays it but with no sound coming from spearks.
If i play a video at the same time the sound will be there if a call is coming the sound will be there, but only mp3 wont play.
And the only optio i am left with is to reboot the phone and then it again starts to work fine. I also tried checking after syncing the phone with Zune but nothing happened.
Can someone help me here with some clues or if someone else is also having this issue.
I'd call htc or your carrier. I have not run into that problem on my hd7 and I don't reset it for days at a time.
using HTC 7 Trophy
Having the same problem. but not just with audio files, but with Radio, too
My solution is the same: reboot

I dont think it has to do with carrier anyway as they are not streamed or something they have been synced from my PC using Zune. I dont even suspect the Hardware issue as at the same time other sounds plays perfectly fine. It looks to be a some kind of rare bug which is affecting only the chosen people.

Oh Sorry to hear that mate, i am lucky in that sense coz i tried my radio and it plays well in headset and speaker mode both and as i said even the Videos plays just fine. its only the MP3 that does not play sound. MP3 does play as i can see the time reducing and all and can play pause them only the sound is not there in speakers and not even in headphones.
I reboot and its again good to go. I hope some update comes out soon to fix it.

my point being is that calling the carrier might get you a new headset.

IT'S NOT THE HEADSET !!!
I tried a series of experiments yesterday and found 1 thing to reproduce the Problem:
Start Music Player (everything is fine)
Run a Game (for me it's Project Sunburst)
Stop the Game (Music still plays)
Stop (Pause) the Music Player
Run the Game again
Set "No Music" Settings in Game
Stop the Game
Start Music Player --> Music doesn't play
Even the current state of the paused file is stopped, and Music Player will start playing from the beginning of the file
i even found a solution to hear Music Files again
Start the Game
Enable Music in Game
Stop the Game
Start Music Player --> Music is heard again
ciao Skipper
BTW: Rado played fine when files didn't play, that was a little overzealous on my part, must have mixed it with some other problem, or didn't connect headset or something

Thats right in the case of ppl in US and some other countries but me being in India need not be bound with a Carrier or service provider, as Maximum of the handsets are available unlocked.
I bought it for some 640$ considering 1$ = 45 Rs. But yeah i got your point

@rj2Skipperr,
I tried the steps mentioned by you. But even after setting the volume to nil in games the mp3 continues to play. only difference is i did not have the game Projcet Sunburst. but other multiple games i tried.

yes the music file plays while I'm in the game if I started playback before game, but if I
stop(pause) music playback
start game (with no sound)
stop game
start music playback
I hear nothing (and file is played from the beginning)
("crackdown 2: project sunburst" is available vor testing in marketplace, and has (of course) the same effect on music as the buyed app)
ciao Skipper
i am unable to repro the issue with any given games, actually could not try sunburst. But other games i tried and also since the day i posted this question issue has occuredd only once and have never repeated.
I hope it stays like this and never comes back.
curious
Those that are having the sound trouble, did you also enable your device as USB storage? Because I've came across this same problem and it was after I had to fool with a couple of the registries. If so then more than likely that's the culprit.

It's a common and know issue of WP7. Mine does it also. I have to reboot mine to get sound back. This is one of many bugs WP7 has that MS refuses to address with an update.

For such a common problem, I haven't seen many threads about it here, on ppcgeeks, or wpcentral...
I have no doubt it is linked to people adjusting the ingame volume controls and that adjusting the overall volume control.
Not sure what there is to fix, maybe a separate volume control for games vs other multimedia???

Could be. But there certainly is something to fix. When you don't adjust in-game sound to zero yet the in-music sound is zero, there is something to fix. And when a reboot restores sound rather than keeping it the same, there is something wrong.
There is an app to fix this problem(free trail with adds). It's called: Media Volume Settings.

Hello fellow posters,
I am having a very strange problem that shows its ugly head with Napster and Slacker Radio. The song will play for exactly 12 seconds and then stop. The song will then resume again several seconds later. The rest of the song plays fine from that point forward. I find it strange that it happens on both apps at the same exact time (12 seconds). MOG doesn't seem to have this issue.
I have a 4G signal with at least 3 bars when the issue happens. The problem doesn't occur is streaming from WIFI.
Is anybody else having problems with these apps with their G2X?
Thanks for your time,
Lance
I have the same problem. I was running the gingerbread leak thought it was that. So I'm back on stock same problem.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Napster and Slacker Radio
Does anybody have ideas on how to resolve the issue (song stops playing after seconds almost every time. The song then starts playing again after several seconds).
Is it a phone issue since it happens on both Slacker Radio and Napster? Any setting changes that can be done?
Thanks,
Lance
I haven't tried napster, but for slacker, try version 2.1.191. I loaded it with titanium backup. The last couple versions suck, and apparently not just on our phones/roms. The market comments are BAD. lol...
Not sure how to locate it if you don't have a backup. I'll see about getting the apk somewhere.. It was free on the market, so I can't see how it would be "piracy"...
I have the same problem with Slacker, so it's unusable on my G2x. If this isn't fixed sometime soon, I'll be canceling my paid Slacker account.
slacker updated again today. so far so good streaming over 3g
I had to turn on High quality mode in the settings menu, then the song would cache all the way in 3g. If it's in normal quality, they song doesn't cache all the way and will occasionally skip. Wifi works normally.
I've also disabled the local stream manger in slacker as well. Not sure if that has done anything
I tried again with the latest version and disabling the "local media server" option. Already had high quality enabled.
It actually plays music now. Thanks for the tip. Now if we could get music apps not to stutter when the cpu gets used... Sigh. A dual core should NEVER stutter music when multitasking.
Yes it what the "local Media server" not "local stream manager" . Sorry about that; I didn't have my phone on me.
Glad you're working. Not even sure what that feature does.
i deleted slacker. the damn app wants to run for so many actions. check it out using an app like autostarts. it starts running for a ton of different actions,things that don't even make sense.
winamp is almost as bad,but tolerable.

I disabled Local Media Server too (never noticed that option before), and it seems to be working properly for me too. Thanks everyone!
I have Napster and I have the SAME EXACT problem. The only way I got around it was to download the playlists so it wouldn't skip. It's extremely annoying. I've already informed LG about the issue a month or so ago. Its only on Napster tho. Not Rhapsody or Pandora.

This apparently just showed up with the last update (yesterday or today) and fixed my streaming issues in slacker too (only had time for a quick test though)
My Droid Charge was randomly pausing music no matter what app I was listening to (Spotify, MOG, Music, etc). FINALLY when I loaded up Rdio a message popped up saying that they detected Google Listen in the background and that Listen has a known bug in which it opens randomly in the background and pausing any playing audio. I have since uninstalled Google Listen and now my music no longer randomly pauses.
BTW: If you want an alternative to Listen I suggest Doggcatcher, BeyondPod, or Sticher
Never had Google Listen installed and I get random pauses. Oh well.
I've been having this issue. From reading around, it sounds as though a lot of people experienced the issue because of Google Listen. However, like many others, I have experienced the issue without Listen installed at all. I'm looking into whether it could be down to any audio playing application that is set to refresh at a given time/interval. I have Pocket Casts installed, set to check for updates every hour. I have changed it to once a day at 6:00 am (I'm very unlikely to be listening to music then), to see if it makes a difference. I may also try and force it to sync while i listen to music to see if it pauses. I'll post my results when I have some.
I had problems when using several music players. What I did was adjust the amount of memory the phone uses and the problems disappeared.
FYI, for those who had Listen installed. Latest version of Listen fixes the problem:
What's in this version:
Fixes an issue in which Listen while in the background would improperly take audio focus from other apps.
I, too, had to uninstall it couple months ago, until they rolled out the latest update. Installed it few days ago, and never had a single issue since then.
FYI, Stopping pocket Casts didn't have any effect. Problem persists.
Anyone else have this issue, music keeps stopping when playing through the headset, sometimes it could happen after 5 mins, others after an hour, happens in all music and podcast apps, hasn't happened with the FM radio yet though.
Used to happen with me. I had my music player greenified and, after some time, it would auto hibernate. Make sure it's not something you're using.
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app
Yes its happening to my moto as well
So seems we have a fault somewhere. I remember this happening with my old Galaxy S2, turns out if cell signal went it turned the music of for some reason, not sure if this is the same problem though

It happens to me too, I think that OS kills the music app when the RAM is almost full.

I've managed to fix it, a factory reset fixed the issue, give it a try.
I'm getting this problem too. It happens with FM radio as well as music playback with Blinkbox, Google Play Music. It never used to happen before the recent KK 4.4.4 update. Before I do a factory reset does anybody have any other suggestions?
If I open galaxy apps, it tends to pause my music player after a few seconds, sometimes it does it even if im just at the home screen with apps closed. Youtube will also pause randomly. I have axtually disabled bixby, turned off ALL notifications, allowed background data for youtube and samsung music player, and disabled optimisation for them.
Heres the weird thing. When I had poweramp, it didnt do it so long as I had "pause for long audio cues" disabled. And now I downloaded sound assistant and allowed samsung music player to play over any audio and then it doesnt pause. I cant seen to figure this out.
The root of the problem seems to be samsungs audio focus not working properly, but that aside, I cant find what service or app is triggering some invisible and silent audio cue. Any ideas?
I experienced something similar to this while I was traveling. I had the phone bluetoothed to the car. The only things that I had running (that I remember) were Google Play Music, Google Maps (with GPS enabled, of course), and the Weatherbug app since it was storming while I was driving.
The music app would randomly pause and I didn't know why. I haven't experienced it again since then (a couple weeks ago) but I haven't needed google maps since then, and honestly haven't been driving with all those apps open simultaneously since then. I can try it again tomorrow actually, as I have to drive about an hour out of town for a work assignment. I can report it back if you like.
This won't necessarily narrow it down since we may have totally different apps on our phones that may be causing it.

I tried to replicate the problem (even opening a lot more apps on my phone simultaneously) and couldn't get it to do it. I guess that's good for me. I know there have been updates to several of the apps I mentioned since I experienced that problem, though, too. Don't know what to tell you. I remember in the past sometimes deleting all of my bluetooth connections and then reconnecting sometimes helped. But who knows...
I'm traveling again today and next week so we'll see again. If I experience again I'll let you know.
