i have an issue with any music i play on my phone. randomly the song will cut to another song, but the display still shows the original info. i have had this problem with my p4000 and now with my omnia. i first though it was a problem with pockplayer, but i found after a hard reset the issue still exist with the other media players on my phone. i now think it is an issue with something in my music folder what came directly from my itunes library. I really have no clue why my music keeps jumping from song to a random song for a few seconds, than back to the proper song, but it is REALLY annoying and i was hoping someone here may be able to help.
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!

I've noticed that if I sync a lot of music to my phone at once, a lot of problems occur. First of all, I notice that a lot of the music that I chose to sync simply does not make it to the phone. Only a few songs from a particular album might make it, whereas the rest is simply not there. Another thing is that a lot of songs get cut off. It will be playing and then end suddenly and go to the next song. It's not that it skips, but something happened where the song length has been shortened, like not all of the file was transferred.
Anyone else have similar issues?
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

Problem: When listening to Music on Google Play Music Songs often suddenly play muted. Starting the app and listening the music always works fine, the problem occurs at various intervalls after starting to listen. This always happens at the beginning of a new song. The app is showing correctly that the music is playing but I can't hear any music. Skipping to the next track or restarting the Song "fixes" the Problem. Happens during Streaming as well as Songs stored on my Device. Factory reset didnt fix the Problem. Sometimes this happens two Songs in a row, sometimes like 1 out of 10 Songs. Very annoying though if you're riding your bike or if you want to listen to music with friends if you have to skip songs all the time to avoid random akward silence. Didn't have this problem on my old SGS3.
I have this problem occasionally too. Doesn't seem to be any pattern to it but it does happen at the beginning of the next song. Just sits there with dead air until I skip to the next one. Very annoying.

I would sometimes have this problem if I was going from a song that is on my device to a song that isn't on my device that was in the cloud. I would skip to the next song and then back and it would work fine, is this similarly what you are experiencing? I do not have a solution just sharing your pain.

nope for me it's all with songs that are on my device... hope someone chimes in with a solution, the only thing I can think of is some of my media files might be in a different format (mp3, mp4, etc) but my understanding was all formats were compatible...

If what you describe is the actual cause of the glitch, you did find a workaround: Make sure each playlist is comprised of either "on device" music or "in the cloud" music, but not both.

Did you ever resolve this, I'm having the same issue on a galaxy note 3, with music stored on my device, every time it moves the next track the song is muted, hitting stop and then play fixes things. Very frustrating.
did you fix it
