Hello everyone,
I am very confused by something that I found somewhat nerve-racking. I was listening to music and songs kept restarting without me doing it. I thought it might have been a glitch in the new google music update. Yesterday, it got worse by skipping back songs and restarting them more frequently, but all of a sudden in the middle of a song, a female robotic voice said "Please unlock the device" and then kept playing my music. I shutdown my device, which btw is a Nexus 5 running android 4.4.4 with Xposed Framework installed. Later I was looking at files using the app "Root Browser" and I noticed many, if not most of the files (except app data ones) had weird time stamps. Some said the file was created only a few minutes before (mm/dd/yyyy, h, m, s) (05,04,2015, 2:54:54) and others were "created" on (01, 01, 1969, 12:00:00). I did a factory restore and re-installed Xposed and some games, social media, and file explorer app I mentioned before. The timestamps on the files were still really weird and from 1970. At the time of posting, I havent listened to music so I'm not sure if that issue is gone, but I will update at the end of the day.
If anyone could help me figure out what is going on, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for any help provided.
p.s. I ran ESET, AVAST, NORTON, and 360 SECURITY and they all showed there was no threats.
**UPDATE**
I was listening to more music and nothing fishy was happening, timestamps are still messed up though.

Hi Guys,
I was hoping someone with a DROID 2 could confirm a proposed problem with my application on the android market.
Essentially, a user has informed me that installing my application, then receiving a text message, results in my app announcing & buzzing the caller (as expected), but then causes any music to stop playing through the headphone jack permanently until my application is un-installed. At which point the device goes back to normal.
Now, I've obviously tested this, and have no problem with a Nexus One, or HTC DZ.
I was hoping someone with a DROID 2 (running Android 2.2), could test this and let me know if it's something I should actually be concerned with.
Application:

Any help would be much appreciated, the app is already free, so I can't offer anything in return...
Cheers,
dazbradbury.
The user states you can re-produce this by:
1) Start music playing on your phone, and listen with headphones.
2) Send yourself a text message
This will result in NameBuzz announcing & vibrating the caller, followed by the music never playing again...
Thanks again,
Daz.
Just tried it, music still playing fine, i don't see anything wrong with it.

Awesome. Much appreciated.
Anyone with Stock 2.2 able to give it a go? Seems like a strange one to me...
I bought two Charges last week, one for me and one for the wife. Both of us have been having similar issues with music and/or ringtones randomly not playing on our phones. My wife has missed several calls because the ringtone that she downloaded from Zedge mysteriously stopped working, so the phone acted as if it were on silent mode. I noticed several instances where I can't listen to music on my phone due to a "Error playing the requested track" error within the Google Music app. At first, I thought my problem was due to the fact that I was trying to stream music that I've uploaded, but I was given the same error when I attempted to listen to music stored directly on the SD card.
Thinking that my problem was due to some weird issue with the Google Music app, I tried to play the music on my SD card from the built-in Music Player app and I was quickly prompted with an unsupported file type error. Rebooting both our phones seems to fix the problem, but I've had to do this at least two to three times on my phone, and once on my wife's. It seems that the problem always comes creeping back without warning.
Neither of our phones are rooted, and nothing else has been done to the phone that I can think of that would cause this issue.
In short, music/ringtones/etc. will randomly stop playing regardless of their source (SD card, downloaded, stream). Since the problem is on both of our phones, I'm guessing that this is a common issue on all Droid Charges.
Has anybody else experienced this issue? What are your recommendations on fixing it? Should I just take the phones back to Best Buy and get replacements?
=Edit=
Okay...something is definitely up. I just went to watch a video on the YouTube app, and saw no video. I tried other videos and got the same result. Sure enough, I tried to listen to some music and was given the above mentioned error. What the hell?
I would take them back to Best Buy. Ive never heard of this problem. And if youtube is not playing then there seems to be and underlying problem.
I was having this same problem every so often, typically after having the phone on for a few days without turning it off. I am rooted an running a custom ROM so I thought it might have something to do with that, but obviously that is not the case. I turn my phone off whenever I charge it at night and have not had the problem since doing that. Long story short, I would return the phone if you can, but just turning the phone off and then back on (not rebooting) has fixed the problem for me every time.
Try uninstalling the official twitter app if you have it, reboot, and try again. That usually solves that.

I have a strange audio-related issue on my Droid Charge.
This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, I can't seem to track down the cause. When these problems happen, they tend to all happen at the same time as far as I can tell.
I have two custom tones I use, one for the phone ringtone and one for my text message notification. They work just fine, but suddenly and without warning they will stop working. So if my phone rings, it is just totally silent. If I go in to the settings to select a ringtone and choose my custom one, it is dead silent. If I choose any of the other ones that are on my phone, they play with no problem.
I have google voice as my voice mail provider. Sometimes when I go to check my voicemail, I get an error message that says "failed to download recording" See image here: i.imgur.com/IeXNL.jpg sorry you'll have to copy & paste into your address bar - since I'm a new user I can't post links.
When I go to play music, I'll sometimes get the error that says "Error playing the requested track" See image here: i.imgur.com/JjXoG.jpg sorry you'll have to copy & paste into your address bar - since I'm a new user I can't post links.
And this happens with every song in my library (not that i've tested them ALL, but just randomly picking songs out of my list they will all fail in the same way.)
I've noticed that some audio will still work - for example, the sounds in the game "Word With Friends" still works. The sound in the game "FieldRunners" still works. However, the sound in "Angry Birds" does NOT. Also, My email notification (which is NOT a custom sound) still comes through no problem.
If I reboot my phone, everything works just fine right up until it decides to fail again - which could be ANY time - I've had it work fine for a few days before.
I had done some searching on these problems, but didn't really find many related posts (here & general google searching). I found one thread where people were talking about downloading and using SDrescan and it fixed their problems. I did that and it does not help.
I really hate missing calls because I can't hear them. (Fortunately I haven't missed too many.) Then when I do check, I can't hear the voice mail message the caller left from google voice (unless I go to the web interface - then it will play through Moboplayer, but not through the Music app)
I have Rooted and ROMmed my phone, but just FYI, I did have the problem with the ring tones when everything was stock (I just got the phone on July 2). I didn't even set up google voice mail or put music on my phone before I had rooted it. I am using the GummyCharged ROM (v1.9).
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Thank you - and let me know if any more information is needed to help diagnose this.
EDIT: I also just noticed that if I launch the amazon MP3 store, I cannot listen to any samples - there's no error message - the sample just never plays. The Amazon mp3 store player will also not successfully play any of my music that is stored locally - it just says "error playing song". I also have 2 songs stored in the amazon cloud - it will not play those, either and it gives the same message "error playing song."
EDIT: clarity and grammar - I'm typing like english is not my first language today

Hello guys. I've been having this issue since I've first bought my Nexus 5, thought I could finally solve it if I shared it with you.
Almost one year ago, I got my Nexus, and since I didn't like Play Music at all I downloaded Poweramp from the Play Store. I immediately noticed that some song in my library stuttered and skipped. I tried to set Audio Thread Priority and Audio Buffer higher in Poweramp, but that was useful. Then, using other audio players (I'm using Shuttle+ now) I realized the hiccups would show up at the same points in the same songs. When I tried to delete one of my troubled songs and to transfer it again on my device via USB, the skipping was gone. This makes me guess this is some kind of memory problem. Furthermore, I can't do the replace thing for all of my 4000+ songs; if I delete all of my songs and then I transfer all of them again, the hiccups show up again randomly in other songs.
During this time, I made the switch from stock 4.4.4 to CM11, and then back to stock 5.0 when it came out a month ago, but this issue has always been present. I recorded an example of an hiccup and I attached it here. You can clearly hear that at 3 and 19 seconds mark. Has this kind of issue affected someone else? Can it be solved at all?
Anyone?

Sounds like you're having file transfer problems to me. Not sure how you can fix that. Maybe try a different method of getting music on your phone.
Went to a gig last night, tried to record some of the songs, got back today and none of them have any sound at all on the videos, anyone have any ideas why this could be
Did you play the videos on the phone or on a PC ?
I sometimes get a very low sound level on the PC while the sound is normal on the phone, depending on the phone used to capture the video and the software to play it back.
There have been a couple of reports of the same problem on a German Android forum. They said the for the last few weeks theyve been having trouble with recordings of all sorts, while speaking on the phone still works. After a restart it's all back to normal for some time but then the problem returns at some point. Sounds to me as if either an app or system update contains a bug of some sort...
have the same problem for about 3 weeks.
even with the C72 now no improvement.
very annoying the whole
In there forum I mentioned someone said according to Oppo Google Assistant is the culprit, it somehow blocks the microphone which is also why the OK Google command still works while sound recording does not. Try deleting the Google App's data and cache and then it should be gone. Should it be back after a while then the app will probably have to be fixed by Google, only way around this in this case probably is deactivating the assistant until the issue's been fixed.
