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.

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?

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.

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)
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...
I have a Galaxy S3 i747 running AOKP 4.2.2. I've tried Google Play Music, Omich Player, Android Music Player, and PowerAmp. Whenever I do anything on my phone while listening to music, it skips for a second or two. By this I mean locking or unlocking it, opening an app, and sometimes doing something within an app. Its really obnoxious and is seriously ruining my enjoyment of this phone. My ROM has an overclock function, so I tried forcing the processor to go to 1.6gHz at all times, but that didn't fix it. It also has an SD card read ahead function, but even setting that as high as 4000kb had no effect. This happens whether there's zero or a dozen apps in the background. Sometimes clearing the apps cache and force closing it followed by restarting the phone helps. Also, sometimes switching to another music player whip fix it for a while before that one starts skipping too.
Is there any solution to this? I've seen other people with this problem but they either never resolve it or the solution that works for them doesn't work for me.
Perhaps
If you have AntiVirus on your mobile phone. Possible that some programs are not compatible

Nope, no antivirus
I know this sounds crazy but try using headphones with a built-in microphone. I'm almost positive that is how I fixed this issue on an older phone that had the same issue.

Long and short listening to music in car using google music go to make a call it starts rining but the music keeps playing while ringing and during the call.
It does not happen to me, that's odd. Infact it never happened in any of my Android devices.
Is it happening always or occasionally or even after restarting? Try clearing cache for telephony and music.
Its sporatic sometime it works fine sometimes it doesnt it. It doesnt happen with my g3 but only sometimes on the z3
Yes, I have this problem. Sooo annoying. I end up having to hang up on the caller, change source in car to FM, and then return the call.
I used the Walkman music app for a while and that one worked fine (fluke?), but I pay for google music so I went back to it despite the conflict. Here's hoping it's a google music app problem or something that gets fixed with 5.0

I have this weird problem with Pandora over LTE. It won't load songs and play unless I toggle airplane mode on and off. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I never use to have this problem and I can't figure out why its doing this. No other music streaming apps have problems (play music and SoundCloud). I have to toggle airplane mode after every song. Its really annoying. My N5 is completely Stock and I am on Straight Talk

I am on Android 5.0.1. I have even factory reset my phone and I still have the same issue. I can't figure it out at all. Pandora works fine over WiFi, but not LTE or 3G. All other music streaming apps I have work just fine. If I start Pandora and let it try to play a song. It will start then have really buffer issues. while it is buffering if I put airplane mode on then off the song will play just fine over LTE, but once a new song starts I have to do the same thing with airplane mode. I would ditch Pandora all together and just use Play Music or SoundCloud, but both of those apps use so much data. ( I listen to about an hour of music a day) I have Play Music setting set to the low quality, but from what I have read online it will stream the best quality your connection will allow. I have great connection everywhere I go in my home town.

Pandora claims they have no issue with 5.0 or 5.0.1, but I can not use the app. I really only started to have this problem when I updated to 5.0.1. May flash back to 5.0 to see if that fixes the problem.
Here's an interesting side note. If I turn on the hotspot feature on my N5 and connect my N7 to it and play Pandora on my N7 everything works fine. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

jdawg0024 are you on Straight Talk for service? I am running KitKat (4.4.4) on my Nexus 5 through Straight Talk and I am having the exact same issue. I have tried everything as well and cannot figure this out. Songs take a long time to load or will not load at all. Once they do they will skip like as if being buffered. Works fine over wifi connection and all other streaming services work fine as well.
Up until today I did not know about toggling airplane mode but that will make the songs play. I would love to get this figured out..........
Pandora streams fine for me on T-Mobile lte with xtrasmooth 5.0.2 ROM. Also had worked on kk4.4.4.

Yes I am on Straight Talk. I have called them, but they say they aren't blocking any services. Pandora has since emailed me and said that they are aware of the issue, but do not have an ETA on a fix

Although I have a feeling that it is Straight Talk's issue. I know 3 People who have the N5 and they are all on 5.0.1 and each on a different Network (Verizon, Sprint, and ATT) all of their Pandora Apps are working correctly.

I have also spoken with Straight Talk and specifically asked if my service was being throttled and they said that it was not. I am tempted to try a reset and upgrade to Lollipop but would much rather have it working as is.

I can tell you that a factory reset will not help. I thought it was 5.0.1 that was causing the issue so I flashed the 5.0 factory Image and that did not fix the problem. Then I flashed the 5.0.1 factory image and that did also not fix the problem.
Clearing the Pandora cache worked for me.
