music lock screen new to me/cant get rid of it! - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i didnt know this was a part of the hero until now (the lockscreen with a bar above the throttle bar that has the song playing)
iv been using the music app tons, and iv had my phone for months.
but now that its popped it wont go away! (it will prob go away when i restart but still)
using MCR.. only thing thats changed today is some apps like swaze (uninstalled now), an update to quick uninstaller, and an update tooo something else that was also irrelevant
so how can i get rid of the music lockscreen!?
how come i havnt seen it even after using it for months!?
thanks in advance!

Only way to get rid of it is a restart, it gets stuck is when you kill the music app. To stop it from happening just pause the music instead of killing the app.

alright thanks! wierd that it hasnt happened to me.. maybe i pause before i kill it usually :s

[Q] Music starts skipping to next song randomly. PLZ HELP!

I have a very weird issue with my Droid Eris. First off I had Kaosfroyo v29 on there with no problems and my music and everything was working perfectly. But then i Flashed Kaos Froyo V34 in this order (clear battery/rotation/dalvik/then flash v34). I get back and the music apps (Default music app, Meridian, and Mix Zing) and they all start skipping my music after a couple seconds of playing it. it continues to skip each song sometimes after 14 seconds other times before it even starts. It does this with the loudspeaker and when there is a headset connected. I don’t believe it is a hardware issue as it doesn’t do this in when I do my nandroid restore to v29. I have tried reformatting my sd and just putting a couple songs on there. Ive tried using headphones/not using them. Ive tried turning wifi off and then playing music (heard that could be an issue). ive tried other things as well but idk what it could be. If I clear/factory reset and then flash v34 streight, it doesn’t have this issue. When I do apps with data restore with titanium and reset the phone. The issue is back! So im thinking it might be an app I have? I looked at all my music related apps and don’t see one that could be causing it. I don’t have an app killer (although I have autokiller installed but I don’t think that could be causing it). I really want to just update from v29 to v34 but I cant live with music doing this. My last resort would be to just use v29 as I don’t want to lose the state of all my apps and stuff. Music doesn’t skip in Pandora or music palyed through wifi in Zumodrive. It only skips in the default music app and the other music apps. Really frustrating. At first I thought it could also be my metamorph skin but that wasn’t it also(that was back when I was trying to update from v29 to v30 other versions with the same issue…) it always skips to the next song on the list, not fastforward or anything. also sometimes it shuts off and reboots automatically because of the skipping.
I really really wanna update. Any solutions? Ive looked through my apps and cant really see anything that might be causing this. any suggestions would help. Thanks.
Did you flash the memory? It's the first wipe option in the A RA bootloader.

remove setcpu and autokiller

i uninstalled both and then restarted and the problem was gone! i reinstalled autokiller and it works fine(after another restart). but then in installed setcpu again and then it started doing it again right away! without even doing a restart.. So it seems to be the culprit. How is setcpu interfering with it? i had it set on like 748/480 with a couple other profile settings. Also why would it start acting up now? it was working fine with setcpu in v29.

Issues with notification sounds going mute...

So I have a Droid X2, now un-rooted and back on stock 2.3.4 and this is an issue I have had since I had the phone and have never found a fix. I have asked this multiple times on the Verizon forum for the DX and never get an answer...
SO every day I seem to have issues with my notifications going mute, sometimes, but not always, my ringer even goes mute. Usually once a day I have to reboot my phone because it is the only way I can fix it. I thought at first it had to do with my blutooth, but since SBFing and going back to stock I have not re-added my blutooth and it still happens. I took it into the store and he suggested that it is an app causing a conflict and I should uninstall 10 or so apps at a time to try and narrow it down... but I just went ahead and did a factory restore to see if it would help... but it happened again today...
Now, the notifications I use are ones I put on the phone. I have tried putting them on the SD and the internal and it seems to happen with both. I have also put them directly on and also tried ringdroid but it still does the same thing. The sound and notification levels will be all the way up, and when you go into the settings and try to pick a notification sound or ringtone, even the stock ones, you wont hear anything (and you would usually hear a preview of the sound)... The only way I can get the sounds to work is to reboot the phone and when it comes back, it will be fine... for a while. Sometimes have to reboot multiple times a day, but almost always at least once a day to get them back up...
Since you all seem smarter than the Verizon folks and have been a huge help to me thus far, I thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has ran into this and has a fix or if there are any known apps that would cause this. I have done searches but found nothing...

Okay... happening again. Nope. Music won't play. Says something about not being able to play that type of file. Just regular music that plays any other time. If I reboot the phone I'm sure it'll work. Any ideas?
I have the same issue of notification sounds going mute randomly. I'm using galaxy tab P1000, android 2.3.3
sometimes music player stops playing songs randomly too!

No rom. I was rooted but un-rooted and went back to stock gingerbread...
I upgraded to android 2.3.6 overcome 4.1.0 (its a custum rom for galaxy tab). Lets see if it resolves the issue. I'll report back if the problem happened again.

Awesome... thank you!
I've had a similar issue but not exactly the same. I normally keep my phone on silent mode but sometimes during the day it will automatically go off silent mode. Seems to happen most often when the battery level is below half. I just learned to live with it. My alarm would deactivate by itself in Froyo, so at least this isn't going to cause me to be late for work like that.
Problem is solved here after last week's upgrade. I'd suggest flashing a new build if possible. I guess for some unknow reason, parts of the OS gets corrupted or maybe its a bug in device drivers for our android phones thats been addressed in later builds.

I'm certainly no dev, just an avid user who likes learning and tweaking to get the most from his phone. I recall having similar problems with FROYO stock or rooted which as I remember went away when GINGERBREAD came out. I've been running DZK's CM7 beta as my daily driver since it was released with virtually no problems and unlike most other ROM's does not need multiple tweaks and scripts to scream with the exception of a wifi and/or dialer glitch that looks like Moonshadow has recently fixed. Sooooo unless HDMI is a deal breaker I'd suggest you flash CM7 and see if that takes care of your problems just remember to abide by the cautions regarding use of TBU to restore apps. And lastly as a rule of thumb I reboot my phone every morning once I get to 100% charge...force of habit I guess.
Good luck

Thanks everyone... I havent been on because it strangely hasn't been happening. Not sure what changed. Did not uninstall any apps, and have not had any updates (as far as I know... well besides app updates) and for some reason it hasnt been happening lately. Again, no idea what changed. Still unrooted on stock 2.3.4 gingerbread and phone seems fine now. Been happening for months and when I finally come here to get help, the problem seemed to have went away. I will keep you all updated if this changes. Hopefully if it is happening to anyone else, it has also been fixed... Thanks again for all your help. Really appreciate you guys helping out this noob
what i did
i have an mb870 too with no service running google voice and groove ip . my issue with notifications
was with my kids hitting all the button selections she could. in the process my message notifications
got defaulted to the wrong messaging app. i was still getting messages but no tones or vibrations.
so i just went to all the messaging apps i have and made sure to select the right one for the default

My S3 crashes every 4 or 5 minutes when I go running.. any ideas?

Hi guys
Whenever I go running I like to take my S3 with me as I use mapmyrun app and listen to music. Unfortunately, after about 5 minutes the music stops and when I look at the phone it says there are no apps open. If I restart mapmyrun it appears and runs as if it never stopped (in other words, it has been continuing to map my run even though android says it's not open).
I have tried DoubleTwist and the standard samsung music player and have tried turning off syncing and notifications all to no avail.
Anybody else have this problem? Or any suggestions? Because its really annoying me!!!!

No idea m8, i drive everywhere lol jk.
Could be that the battery is getting jolted and causing it to break contact? Just a thought, either that or something on the inside isn't quite secure and it's bobbling about when your having a jog ?
Not sure tho m8, weird one that.
Having a quick read round, it would seem mapmyrun doesn't get on too well with the Galaxy S3... I will try a different running app tomorrow!

that s3 tell you, just jog. don't play me. lol
It is a very Smart Phone if it doesn't like physical exercise because my body reacts in the same way.
Try jogging without the app running? does it still reboot?
If not then you know it's the app.

Music stopping and getting jerky scrolling

Hi all,
Made the jump from iphone to S3, and am happy, theres just afew niggles i need to sort out to be 100% happy
1) my music will just pause for no apparent reason, i have switched off all the motion gubbins, tried lots of players, but they all just randomly pause,. Sometimes its 2 seconds after i press play, other times i get to listen to a few songs. My music is what keeps me going, so i need to fix this otherwise i may have to jump back to the iphone 5. I have sesrched the interweb, and tried all the fixes, nothing does it for me
2) is there anyway to get rid of all the stock samsung gubbins, its eating my memory. A nice clean nexus 7 style woukd be good. Im regularly at max ram, causing jerkyness. What am i doing wrong.?
I think those are the two key things i would like to fix......
Anyone have any idea???
One last question, is there anyway to see what services i have disabled easily?
Ta all!

[Q] Weird bug? Music autoplays when receiving call

I have not found this anywhere else, so I finally have to ask.
When I receive a phonecall, the phone rings. I answer the phone, put it to my ear, then suddenly the stock music player starts playing a song. I have to go into the app and pause it every time. When the phonecall is over, the app closes itself.
My first attempt was to try and see what options were on in each app, but there doesn't seem to be anything related to something like this in either music players or the phone app. I went ahead and just disabled / uninstalled ANY music-related apps (player, pandora, winamp...) and tested it, and it still happens! How can the app run when frozen?
I'm really at my wits end here, can anyone offer any insight?
Sounds like a bug with the model of your phone. If you are running on a rooted phone I would recommend freezing the default music player and trying another player. On my phone I ended up freezin the app and installing a player then moved the app just installed to my system apps folder that way it stays there on a reformat. Hope this gives you some ideas...sorry I cant offer a fix. Keep me updated.
tuck my napkin in my shirt coz im mobbin' like that.

Ah yea, forgot to mention this was total stock.
But that's the thing, it is disabled! I had disabled it through the applications manager. And it still happens. Just wild. Not gonna root+TiBu+Freeze yet, so we'll have to see.
Ill see if i can find a fix. If you have headphones in does in still autoplay?
