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.
Hi all! I am running Bionix V 1.2.1 with the dragon kernel5 - all in all, I am very satisfied, but lately I've been running into a few problems that I'm pretty sure I caused during my more reckless period of flashing test kernels (at least, that's when the symptoms appeared). The first and most annoying issue is that the Music Player will play the first song I select without any problem, but at the end of the song, rather than moving to the next track, the app freezes eventually resulting in a force close. Same thing happens with sound player and a gingerbread music app i dl'ed from the market...also sometimes after the watching a video from the gallery. I'm assuming this is because I've corrupted something (perhaps something to do with CorePlayerService?) This sometimes also coincides with issue #2: the notification bar will be inaccessible occasionally, usually accompanied by some general lag, only fixed when I kill and restart launcher.
Now, I know that whatever my problems may be, i would probably be well served to odin back to stock, root, and start over now that I'm done being a jackass--but that seems like overkill, considering how narrow my problem is.
Has anyone else experienced this? (or is that like asking, "i ate some raw, spoiled meat this morning and now I'm violently ill....anyone else experience this?") Does anyone have general insight? Perhaps even a quick fix that obviates the need to spend a couple hours on damage control...?
P.S. if there is already a thread that COMPLETELY covers this, please don't flame me to death....i did at least TRY to find it ;x
This has always been a problem for me since Nero 3. It's the rom not the kernal. I think it's a bad flash. I just odin back to stock and reflash. I tried replacing MusicPlayer.apk in system/app but that still didn't work. I hope someone finds a solution.
Heh...good to know i'm not alone. Also, I don't know if this is at all related, but starting at the same time I noticed quadrant now freezes at h.264 decoding and also had to fc... Guess I'll be re flashing...

Ever since I installed Bionix v1.3.1 my phone randomly stops being able to play music. It happens every 2 hours or so. I've tried different music players and they all have the error above. The only thing that fixes it is a reboot. This works but takes so long, and I usually go to play music in the car and all of a sudden its broken again.
And its all my music not just certain files. System sounds still work tho, so its something with the internal storage because I don't even use the external sd. I've been trying to find an app or something that can remount the internal storage and not the Ext. SD.
Yes, i've also tried different roms, like Loki, Trigger and others. The other day I ODIN'ed back to JFD and rooted and started all over but the problem persists. I've noticed some other people asking questions about this but nobody has a definite answer besides reboot. We shouldn't have to reboot to listen to music every so often. Some people said unplugging your usb cord without unmounting can cause that, but I've tested it both ways and still the issue comes up. Anybody with some know how or some devs willing to input? Thanks. Running the latest Trigger at the moment if that matters.

Never experienced any of this. What music players are you using and what format is your music in?
Yeah this used to happen to me until on day it just stopped working and now it plays one song and freezes.

They're all mp3's and I used the stock player, the MIUI player, mixzing, mort player and poweramp too.
Have you tried changing back to stock rom? Or maybe trying other formats? Cuz I have no clue... =P Sorry
Delete the twitter app. Mine was doing the samething, now its fixed after deleting the twitter app
Twitter doesn't cause the problem. I've had it installed for months.
I'm having the same issue, but I'm on the stock 2.2 and rooted. There's been other lingering issues as well, like wifi not reliably connecting, the system thinking it's in debug mode with just a car charger attached, and other things that are irritating, but nothing major like that.
I've found something else interesting about this.
The YouTube player also fails to load any videos when this happens - I get the "there was an error while playing - touch to retry" message.
The music player will also still play .wav files just fine - which may explain why the system sounds still work.
I'm guessing that the youtube app and MP3s share a codec somehow, and something is failing to work properly. Beyond that, I know little else.
Yes, I noticed youtube too..I found a pretty quick work around. Download Hot Reboot from the market. You just push the hot reboot button on the widget and restarts the whole system without rebooting the actual phone. Once you push it, it shows you the android boot screen for a couple seconds and then back to your home screen and the sounds work again. So weird. I can't wait until we have a good 2.3 version working, because out of all the gingerbread roms I tested the issue was non existent. Good luck Everyone.
Trust me on this.. you can check my other posts on this same issue... I started getting this same error out of nowhere and it happened all the time... someone said delete the official twitter app. I did and it has not happened since.
I have been using plume.
And I don't care about these people who say twitter is not the cause. When there is an issue and changing or removing one thing solves that issue... then that one thing was the problem.
That was DEFINITELY the problem..Uninstalled twitter yesterday when you posted that and I haven't had the issue since. You sir are awesome. By the way, how did you find out twitter was the cause?
Confirmed fixed by uninstalling the Twitter App
That definitely fixed it for me. All my music started playing fine right after the uninstall finished.
thanks!
I'm reporting the bug.

I realized that the music errors were almost insync with when i would check my twitter.... or at least I just felt it was, ha. then searching through the interwebs someone else said they were having problems and they thought it was related to twitter so i said screw it and deleted my twitter app and the problem went away.
your welcome
Awesome!

Wow thats a whodathunka for sure!
Sure works tho, I was begining to think the 2.2 update jacked the phone...
+10
I have the same problem.
I've uninstalled twitter but the problem still exists. So I guess twitter was not the main or only cause.
Are the files you're tyring to play acc or mp3?

I'm having the same issue with the of mp3 files that I know work but my music player saying "unsupported file".
And yes a reboot does get me where I can play the media file. Also this issue not only stops local mp3's from playing but also youtube wont play a clip, short video clips wont play thru the browser option, I can have ever choose "internet" and the file downloads to my phone (feels almost like I'm back on winmobile 6.5).
I do have the Offical Twitter installed on my Cappy, but as of this posting, I;ve unsinstalled Twitter and when with another app. I will post back tommorow is my phone does the same thing again now that Twitter is removed.
Much Thanks....
{Edit}...I must say that my phone actually feels more responsive since removing Offical Twitter for Plume but Plumes Widget is not that great all the app looks nice, its been 4 hrs and music still plays from default music player.
I was skeptical about this solution, but I tried deleting the Twitter app anyhow. It completely solved the problem. Bravo to whomever figured this one out.
I wish I could put this question in a more thought provocative way... but the problems very simple and random:
I've been running the latest evil fascination rom on inmuts -50uv kernel for over a week now with spectacular results in every aspect of the rom. (honestly one of the most satisfying rom packages imo) *with outstanding battery life I might add*
The weird: when I first set up the phone, I assigned on of the standard android notification sounds for my text messages. A day or two ago, it changed on its own and when I went back to the settings, the only two options I got were "silent and facebook pop"... (*note: I don't even have Facebook app installed and have not a long time ago.. I just use the browser)
This same problem occurred in my default Clock app as well and so now the only sound option I am able to assign for any of my alarms is "silent' ...irony kills me
Any ideas as to what might be going on? I use custom ringtones but I have never made a custom notification folder on my sdcard so whatever must be clashing/happening might be internal.
Taking a blind guess, but I'm guessing the facebook app created the notification folder on your sdcard where the "facebook pop" resides. And for a different reason you probably have a ".nomedia" file in your system/media folder. Delete that file to regain your original sounds.
Resolved!
Thank you so much, that did do the trick. Both the .nomedia file as well as the facebook sound file that was creeping around in the system/media directory.
It would be nice to know how it decided to revert the settings on its own...
Glad it worked. I had the same issue when upgrading to the latest evil fascination rom using the latest patch.
Don't know why it happened but was an easy fix
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?
