Google Play Music Skips - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I'll start with this:
I'm on build 20 of klin1344's PACman rom
Newest version of Play Music
AC!D sound mod installed
-if I recall correctly my issue existed before I installed acid.
What I've been experiencing is skipping while playing music through be play music app. Not skipping as though it's struggling to buffer, but whenever I tap the screen, within as well as outside of the app. The issue isn't new to today's update, as it's been a problem I've always dealt with. It also doesn't have anything to do with streaming music vs playing music stored on the device, skips while tapping occur regardless.
I've searched around to no avail, so I do hope one of you can be of assistance.
Thanks

I have had this issue since I got my S3 a few weeks ago too. When I unlock my phone, type in password, or otherwise click the screen, the music skips.
This even happens when I am using Spotify to play music.
EDIT: BTW I am on AOKP ROM.

I failed to mention that poweramp runs smooth as a baby's bottom. Not the case with play music.

I have the same problem like it will return to the lock screen and then the Google music widget and the camera widget like combined and start flickering. this is when playing a song stored on the device as well as the new Google music access they came out with. Mine just pauses forever though and its annoying. I also have power amp and it works beautifully. this happens whether I'm on WiFi or cell data. Good thing this is a free 30 day trial!

I actually did end up figuring out what was wrong. A simple disabling of the system touch sounds and you're good to go. It was trying to compensate for the sound at the same time as playing the music, like when you get a text message it lowers the volume, plays the notification sound, and resumes at normal volume.
Jwattt I don't know why that happens, but it also happens to me. Weird.

I'm currently running liquidsmooth 2.4 on 4.2.2 android and there is no system touch sounds option. I believe this is only for touchwiz roms? I think my problem is something to do with how the widget is handled on the lockscreen. I know it's not just this rom too because I switched from MROM and before that deviant xone and since they are all pretty much based of Cyanogenmod I think it's some kind of mis match somewhere.

I had this problem as well and turning off the lock screen widget fixed it.

[Q] Google Music doesn't advance songs with screen off.

I haven't seen this posted anywhere, but no matter which rom I use (tried them all, currently on Revolver 0.2) when the screen is off, Google Music won't advance to the next song in the playlist. It buffers and is loaded because as soon as I hit the power button to turn the screen on (don't even have to swipe to unlock) the next song starts playing.
Anyone else have this issue or an idea of how to fix it? It's frustrating only listening to one song at a time. Thanks!
noticed that aswell i had it also play a few songs before i had to repower it.
Same here. But worse, when I turn on the screen to advance the song, there is now crackling and static in the audio, which only goes away by closing and restarting the Music app.

Yeah, I get the crackling too, but I've found that it goes away if I just pause it for two seconds and then resume playing.
Very annoying indeed, unless you set the screen to never turn off. Anyone know of any 3rd party app that can advance through the songs?
I think this is an issue with Google Music. I sometimes have the same issue with GM on my Evo.
I have no issue with GM on my MyTouch 4g.
Mine advances to next songs fine with screen off, been using it for a couple weeks, in fact I'm listening to Adema now on it as I work and it's advancing fine with screen off.
Change your WiFi Sleep Policy to never. I think what's happening is that when its going to the next song, WiFi is deactivated because your tablet is in idle status.

My Tf wifi is set to never, still has the same problem. Google Music has a bug, all of my other music players work flawlessly. The GM pause even happens to me with local music.
Ignore me I should have read the thread title before posting, apologies to all!

Guess you don't know what Google Music is?
Google Music syncs with a online playlist. More info @ http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/11/google-music-beta-walkthrough-what-it-is-and-how-it-works-vide/
Thanks, to be perfectly honest I skim read the title and just assumed it was the stock music player app that was being referred to as that has exactly the same issue. I knew of Google music before.
Sorry for the misplaced reply.
Looks like this is fixed in 3.2, at least on mine. No more reaching for the power button to goto the next track. Thanks Google.

Happening to me on 3.2 but on my acer iconia both the lack of next song and static
I'm on the latest firmware and it doesn't seem to be fixed. Clear Data and everything else doesn't seem to work as well. Any ideas?

Google Music Bluetooth issues?

does anyone have weird issues with Google Music and Bluetooth audio? I have my phone paired with my cars BT system and sometimes, even though I'm not playing any BT audio, I'll take my phone out of sleep and the lock screen will show an album cover from my Google music.. even though no music is playing over BT.. any ideas?
Thanks, just got my Nexus and I'm loving it so far

Same thing happens to me. It's because Play Music doesn't actually shut down when you close it , but rather stays running in the background somehow, even though it's listed as inactive on app manager. To close it completely, you have to kill it.

constant Internet issues. WiFi and cellular.

So the main thing is driving me crazy is when I use Play music and listen to songs, when ever I skip to a new song the phone says music is unavailable. When the phone screen is on it seems to work fine but some times it does it to. The music will gray out and I won't be able to play anything. It is really bad when I am on 4g and driving trying to listen to music. I can't listen to more than 2 or 3 songs before I have that happen then I have to turn airplane mode on and off. Ever since the new marshmallow update my Internet has been horrible on my phone. Over half the speed test I try they fail when I'm on 4g. I'm about to throw this phone at the wall and take a loss cause I can't rely on it when I'm out to have a stable connection. Already tried wiping it to start fresh. WiFi works fine at home when I'm watching movies and YouTube but not play music. I'm wondering if power saving mode has something to do with it. I know it limits Internet on some things but I have never had a problem this bad until the new update. Any one have any ideas?
Here is a screen shot of a recent speed test I did about a week ago when I was running around.

Which app are you using to play your music? Are you like playing music that needs to be downloaded? I have all my music right on the phone with no issues at all and I use PowerAmp and it gets so loud you have to be careful lol.
It's the Google play music app. I have the subscription to listen to unlimited music

Damn I hate that app because it keeps the music from getting loud enough and then causes the problem you're having and a Bluetooth problem in the car constantly disconnecting. I don't know what to tell you because I dropped that app altogether because PowerAmp is so much better with the 10 band equalizer the pre amp which makes it even louder and you can even go into the settings and the set the gain levels all the way up and pretty much blow your ear drums out if you'd like lol.. I'd just download the music instead of streaming.
I haven't used Play Music often but I have used Amazon Music and Pandora with little to no issue while I am driving across country. Seems like it is a app issue or perhaps being Dozed after XYZ time.

It's definitely an app issue especially with the Google Play Music. It never got loud enough in the car while on Bluetooth or with headphones on it just sounded bland and low.

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?

Music playback going haywire, stopping starting, skipping, and muting

I've been trying to listen to music on my phone recently and I cant at all it seems. I can't even listen to it for 5 minutes on any player both pulsar and musicolet do this. They stop randomly they start again the music is muted, they skip songs randomly. I was literally walking along the path, with the screen watching my phone go haywire like it was possessed. Skipping songs constantly, and muting and stopping and starting.
I hope this can be fixed because music is my main use for the phone. I'll have to return it, if I cant even listen to music on it.
Do you by any chance were using earphones?
If a cable breaks there may be such behavior.

Yeah I do, my headphones work perfectly fine when plugged into other things though.

Try to do it the other way around.. get another set of headphones to your phone and see if the problem still occurs... If not, problem solved, cable broken..?

When was the last time that you had a factory reset?
Are there any other issues with other apps?

I just bought the phone, the only other issue is it crashes my wifi every time it connects, which I think is to do with the Asus router.
But anyway I think I may have solved the problem, I changed the battery optimisation for pulsar to don't optimise and that seems to have worked no problems for 2 days now.
