4.1.2 update - potential bug introduced in Google Music - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

i updated this morning and i have barely five hours under my belt with 4.1.2, but i have found quite an annoying bug (i think). i have noticed that while listening to music (whole albums in general), every few songs, the phone will stop playing at the end of one song and it won't continue to the next song unless i actually turn on the screen, at which point it immediately picks up on the next song. and no, it's not at the end of an album or anything like that. also, if i go back and re-listen to that same song, it will generally continue on to the next song instead of stopping.
has anyone else encountered this issue in 4.1.2? i *never* had this issue with 4.1.1, not once, but now it has happened four times in the past hour.
i'm stock and unrooted. if i factory reset, will it revert me back to 4.0.4 or just wipe the slate clean with a fresh 4.1.2? this is enough of an annoyance to me that i would go back to ICS and update the phone only to 4.1.1, if that's possible.

Yeah, I had the same exact problem. Noticed it while playing music in car on the way to work. I ended up just copying my selct couple of songs to the SD card and just use the stock music player.
But long story short, I had that same exact problem. Turn on the screen, and the device would play the next track in list.
4.1.2 Latest Clean Rom is the rom Im running. Not sure if the AOSP roms have the same problem or not.

I am on clean ROM and have no such problem... My play music used to stop on stock ICS and JB. But on clean ROM it works great for me.

Just a shot in the dark but are you guys using ds battery saver or anything similar to kill running apps at certain times? I have to turn off ds when running Pandora or it does this. Don't use Google music too often though so Idk if it would do the same to it.
At this point, my phone is just one big tweak.

no, i don't use any sort of battery saver or task killer. i might be reverting back to 4.1.1 shortly. i really don't like the stock samsung music player, plus i have tunes up in the cloud.

That was a bug with Google Music previous update before this current one. Have you updated it lately? Previous fix for me was to uninstall updates and run the stock version that came with the phone but since the update which was last month I have not had any issues.

Happens to me all the time on 4.1.1 Eclipse TW. I believe it's just a bug with the Google Music app...but weird because it never ever happened on my gnex. Maybe the app doesn't like TW?

CM 7 and the Droid 1

Alright guys, I have a simple question for ya.
I've recently flashed CyanogenMod 7 onto my Droid 1, and have been experiencing problems. They are as follows:
1) After a phone call, I either need to wait about 5 minutes to get my data(3G) signal back, or reboot because it never gets a data connection back
2) I can no longer multitask as efficiently, and example is if I'm listening to music (Pandora, Rhapsody, or the default music app) and I go home to do another activity (Facebook, Browser, Pulse, etc.) my music app stops playing and the ongoing notification disapears.
3) My Facebook contacts are no longer kept in sync. It still is the same version as the one I used on CM6.1.2. However, when I do select to sync, it adds the contacts, without pictures, and within an hour, they are removed.
4) My messaging app, although it is locked in my memory, still is being killed by my system.
I've tried restoring, fixing permissions, formatting data and system.
So: has anyone else that hs CM7 expierenced these problems and if you did, did you have a solution?
Thanks in advance

I have the problem with Pandora/slacker and mutlitasking... though I haven't had any of the other problems. I'm on nightly #25. No solutions yet.

1) Known issue with all GB based ROM's for the D1. Enable airplane mode a few times to force it to come back.
2) This is due to GB's aggressive memory management and the D1's lack of RAM. To help this you can do 1 of 3 things.
A. Use Swappa 2 to make a swap space on your SDcard.
B. Enable Compcache at about 18% or so.
C. Change ROM's and use Project Elite 5.0.2. They have a function that allows you to lock up to three apps into memory so they don't get auto-closed.
3) I don't use Facebook so I'm no help there.
4) Refer to number 2.
Good Luck!
Hello I'm having the same problem. My Droid seems to not be able to multitask very well anymore. My music player will often get killed by the system randomly, and it has made this phone pretty much useless for music.
I have tried enabling compcache and everything and it doesn't seem to help. I assume this is a problem of the Droid not having enough memory?

I'm running CM7 RC4 on my droid and the only "issue" I've noticed is that I get a low memory warning from time to time.
What kernel are you running?
Perhaps CM7 is too much for droid at stock speeds.
The 1.1Ghz low volt Chevy kernel does a very good job for me.
Do you have any issues with music playback? Maybe my kernel is the problem. The 1.2 ghz slayher kernel bootloops with my CM7 but it worked fine on CM6.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Sorry to post again, but I just wanted to update you guys. Flashed the Chevy 1.1 LV kernel and am still having the music player shut itself off when I try to open other apps. If I leave the music player up in the foreground, it will run all day with no issues. The minute it gets sent to the background, android seems to kill it within seconds.
The taskbar notification for the player will also disappear, but may reappear randomly as I continue to use my phone. It will appear briefly, then vanish. The music will never resume playback, however, until you physically hit the pause button and then the play button.
The sad part is that this behavior was exactly what my Motorola Q used to do. The thing had so little memory that the minute apps were released from the foreground view, they'd almost instantly close. I hate to say this but I think the only solution is a new phone... I guess android has finally outpaced the hardware on the OG Droid.
I've tried everything setting the music & media processes to 'always keep alive' using the little blue fish memory manager, but that doesn't seem to work. Like I said before, *something* is closing the music process very aggressively when it leaves the foreground and I'm not sure why it's doing this.

Yeah I'm using cm7 on my Droid incredible. Everything works fine except, sometimes applications such as messaging app and the default web browser restart randomly. I'm also using the kernel that came with it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I've found that particular memory-hungry apps tend to cause the music player to close itself. The browser for one, almost guarantees that the music playback will stop. Last night I was able to keep the music playback going while switching between my SMS inbox and Tweetdeck. However certain other app combinations don't seem to work so well.
I've heard some talk of "bulletproofing" ... is this something that could help in my case? What does it do and how do I go about locking the music player in memory?

poweramp full version freezing phone

anyone else having issues with poweramp? works great for a couple weeks, then nothing seems to make it better. i end up flashing a different rom and the problem goes away for a couple weeks. currently running a ported rom. doesnt matter whether i'm on froyo unrooted/stock, rooted, gb port, or gb official release.. cant seem to figure this one out. i've always restored app only, never restore app data. and i have tried removing and installing a fresh version straight from the market..
when this happens it sounds like a cd skipping and the ENTIRE PHONE freezes. it can happen with the screen on while using the phone or with the screen off playing music through the headphone jack. i've tried different voltage settings and profiles, thinking that maybe im UV too much.(but the phone doesnt freeze any other time) when this happens the ONLY way to fix is to pull battery. none of the buttons work, capacitive or external, and the touch screen is completely unresponsive. this is driving me crazy. last night i tried clearing app data and it made no difference. this does not happen with ANY other apps.
ANY IDEAS?!
Did you try emailing the dev?
I've been running PowerAmp with Voodoo on Emancipation for awhile now without any problems. Have you tried any other music player to see if you get the same problem?
Sent from my Blue Emancipated Infuse using XDA
i have not used any other music apps, but i can tell you that this is the ONLY app that crashes the phone. the only thing i didnt like about gb custom roms was that my sms app(chomp sms) wouldn't sent messages sometimes at all, and the stock sms app was intermittent.. ported roms were better for me. and everything force closes on froyo.
Anyone else have issues where poweramp won't see the tags for several songs resulting in them not showing up whenever i go to the library? Some of the albums are missing songs and some entire albums don't show. I can see them without issue in other music players and I can see them in power amp if i browse by folder but they don't show up in library.
Never mind, found them under unknown artist and just manually changed them.

Jelly Bean Issues

Hello!
After updating from ICS to JB 2 months ago I constantly facing with different problems with. I was enjoying ICS and expected best experience from JB.
First of all I missed all of my media files from SD. I searched xda for answer and discovered same issues. All answers was, like, "delete .nomedia and/or wipe your device". I didn't have ANY .nomedia file on my SD. So, I forced to wipe all of my data, app settings, etc. and recover it again. F*ck, why I must format my phone to make it work properly? Sometimes I have known bug with stock launcher when it doesn't show any icons or render one icon to whole screen. Sometimes my device freezes and I only can reset it by ejecting battery. Very poor battery life. Several days ago my battery suddenly dropped to 0% from 60%! Look at pic in attachment.
But main problem with JB is performance. With ICS I hadn't any lags in simple games such as Cut the Rope, but in JB I often facing small freezes and lags that highly annoying. Sometimes one game running OK, but next time it very sluggish. I can't understand why. I constantly have ram issues. In ICS I saw stock launcher crash very rarely. But in JB after every Internet surfing or gaming I must wait to stock launcher load. More frequent is widget issues. When I press Home button I see that stock calendar widget blinking. That seems like it loading or reloading.
So, the main question is: what can I do with this? Is there any custom rom that hasn't this issues? Can I cut some JB features to increase it performance? Is there anyone that have same problems?

I'd already solve this problem with wiping, but I didn't touch any of my media files. I don't think this was caused by corrupted file.
Wipe is necessary when you flash a brand new rom. I've experienced the same issue upgrading to jb from ics, solved by doing a full wipe!

Of course I did this.
Also, sometimes I stuck with (bug?) android.server process consuming all CPU. Only phone restart helps.
I don't have a lot of complaints, and haven't had the same performance issues, though I don't do a lot of gaming. That's what the Nexus 7 is for.
The media scanner in Android sucks in my opinion, so if your files aren't showing up you may want to try running something like SDRescan. My music files (in Music directory on SD card) will show up as soon as I re-open Play Music.
You could try turning off Google Now if you haven't already. I did that and the battery seems to be a little better.
OP, I used to have the same problem and I could never find the .nomedia file. I had to delete ROM manager and its folder. After a full wipe and many tries, I got it to work. As for the launcher crashes, you might want to download an alternative from the play store. One that keeps it "in memory", that way it hardly crashes. I have Nova launcher and it happens frequently to where I switched to Apex haha.
This helped me and hoping it helps you. Good luck!

[Q] clicking sound after music etc has been paused

hello everybody!
i have encountered a very wierd issue with my p3110. frequently, from the very moment i bought it as fas as i can remember (that was android 4.0.1 or something) it makes an unpleasant clicking sound in one of the channels in a couple of seconds after music or a game or a movie has been stopped.
in the headphones and its own speakers, in 1 channel at a time. no matter what the software player or game is, or the specs of the headphones as well. have changed 3 android versions - same thing happens. sometimes more sometimes less often, sometimes doesnt happen at all for a while - then click in one of the ears. even the volume or a kind of music have no influence on that. i have noticed calm new age music produces even more clicking.
as u can understand the guarantee is void and moreover the service center people will try to ignore the problem even if i restore the tablets initial condition.
so what can that be and can there be any software solution to the clicking? i have never had any problems with samsung products before...

Had a Toshiba Thrive that did something like that. Had to close apps still running in the background to stop it.

i think u may be right. after i limit running processes to say 3 clicks become less frequent or may be it just seems so. now im thinking of removing custom firmware, cmw, root, etc and returning the device to the service center cuz i pause the music more than i actually listen to it. then there might be problems with the stupid service center staff.

Music bug since the update of 5.1.1

Everytime when I turn off my screen while listening with headphones on or off, my music disrupts after a period of 6 seconds.
Now I have tried a various things to fix it, and strangely enough disabling the lock screen (any type of security ) fixes this issue)
Might any of you know a better alternative to make my life easier? I don't want to leave my phone insecured for the sake of listening to music.
Thank you.

Reflash with stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.
Have you (TS) tried the solution provided above? I'm experiencing the bug as well. It's really irritating.
I managed to fix the problem by clearing the system cache. Just boot into odin, clear the cache and restart the phone.
(I didn't reflash the stock rom)
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks for the reply. When you mean boot into odin, did you mean recovery? I have done that as well, but it seems that it didn't fix the problem for me.
To add another solution to this bug, I downloaded and flashed the stock ROM for my phone. Apparently, it fixed the bug.
Yes that's what I meant, sorry for the confusion. I might as well do the same. Thanks for the heads up !

Heya, sorry to bring this topic back again to life. Apparently, the fix was only temporary. The bug reappeared after a few hours. I might try a clean install just to see if this gets fixed.

Do you have greenify installed and have the music app set to greenify? Also are you using the built in close app feature? The one found in battery stats. If so do you have the app set to auto kill? This feature kills all selected apps after a certain time of the screen being turned off.

I haven't installed Greenify yet on my S6. I had it on my S4, but it wasn't causing any problems at all. I checked the close app feature, and Music app wasn't placed there. The Music app crashes, it doesn't just close; without any warning message or whatever.
Update: I did a factory reset/data wipe via recovery mode, and used Odin to install a fresh 5.1.1. I tried the Music app, and it doesn't crash. I hope it wouldn't crash anymore.

Did the fresh install fixed the problem completely? I have it as well and it's super annoying, it will be super annoying to have to download my apps again but i will if it fixes the problem.

Unfortunately, it did not. To be exact, it fixed the problem for about a week, but the problem appeared again. Try using Power Amp music player, it's working well for me. I'm tempted to buy the full version after this trail version expires. Spending 1$ would be way better than getting annoyed all the time by the default music player.
