[Q] Music player acting crazy - HTC EVO 3D

Had my 3d 2 days now and when I listen to music on the stock music player it skips songs and fast forwards on its own. It does this when screen is active or on standby and its driving me crazy. If I pick the phone up its like moving the phone makes it go haywire. But it also does it if left untouched. Is anyone else having this problem?

I had one random reboot. And skip songs.
enjoying my EVO 3D. But root would be nice.

Mine has been doing this too. But only with something in the 3.5 jack. Driving me nuts! OP, did you come to any conclusion? Like having to get a replacement or anything?

I would like to know more about this too
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

if its skipping songs then the interference from the headphone jack is making the phone think you have something like iphone headphones that can control music, download headset blocker from the market and it will stop
it wont stop the music from stopping when the headphone jack gets unplugged though

This problem only seems to happen if your phone shows a headset icon on the top. If it shows a headphone icon, you should be ok.
If it shows the headset icon, just unplug it and replug it in again.

download the block headset app from the marketplace. you're welcome!

Excellent post.

Mine loses it's mind every time I plug something into that jack. And yes, Headset Blocker works. Make sure the widget is in color, indicating the blocker is turned on. Then it'll block the incoming control signals that are causing the problem.

I have DoubleTwist installed and I turned off the Headset controls in the settings and I seem to be good for now.
Edit: Well, slightly better.

[Q] Music app glitch!

Such a silly thing I'm experiencing with the music app on the Atrix 4g. When ever I am trying to listen to music through the audio jack, I cant seem to make it through one song with out the music stopping and starting at the beginning. I dont want to have to replace this phone but musix is such a huge part of my phone experience... What a bummer for such a fast phone.
Any similar situations or fixes??
have you got it set on repeat one song?
also try a different music app such as doubletwist
Are you rooted or running any mods / roms?

No repeat set. Downloaded and using winamp but the same issue is occurring. I'm listening to a song. It sounds like it is trying to skip then half way through, it stops, goes to the begining and sits at 0:00 as if it is paused. This is only happening when I am using the audio jack!

That sounds like some kind of glitch with the headset controls and maybe your headset. Maybe try a different pair? You can try downloading Doubletwist and telling it to take control of the headset controls in the settings and see if that does anything?

[Q] Eclipse v2.02

Does anyone else have a problem with eclipse and bluetooth? I use a bluetooth stereo headset to listen to music and after a few minutes it cuts out and I have to reboot.
I use Bluetooth in my car and it works well. Not sure if its the same for headphones though.
Eclipse 2.0.2
I just sbf'd back to 2.3.4 and installed eclipse 1.3. going to see if that corrects it
I have a bluetooth stereo and I have disconnect issues as well on gbp7...not sure what the deal is, but I think it's the stereo cause the phone shows still connected and the audio doesn't get rerouted back to phone. You don't have to reboot, just toggle bt off then on. Plus the problem is random.
I never modified anything with the bt is why I think it's the stereo, but I ciudad be wrong. Ima try to get a log and see what the deal is.

So far music hasn't cut out...I believe it has something to do with v2.02 or the 2.3.5 update
2.03 is out now...
Maybe that will help ur issues?

Not to bust this, but on my end at least, I know I didn't mess up updating the device.
and the Eclipse 2.0.3 update does not change anything to bluetooth..
But I found the Problem.
By chance do you use Google Music as your default music app?
Anyway, I do and the problem is with that app(or maybe its in another setting which I doubt cause the problem persists on GBP7.)
Explanation:
I use a Bluetooth cd player in my car and I use google music to stream to my stereo. Every now and then I lose sound output on my CD Player(although both show connected). The problem would arise whether it was playing local music or streaming from google music. At first thought it was my phone, then I flashed Eclipse to test it out for a lil bit and the problem persisted. So I moved on to thinking it was the Stereo. Well, this morning I was at work(still am..) and I was listening to my music via ear plugs. I ended up getting a random "stop" although the music progress bar was still moving... I changed songs and still had no output. HERES THE KICKER!! I turned the volume up with the keypad and BAM! the sound started to produce out of my precious ear plugs....
I haven't had time to test this with the bluetooth stereo yet, but the problems had IDENTICAL symptoms, so I'm assuming this will work.
The random MUTE of the app is odd, and very random. Sometimes it wont do it for HOURS and then sometimes it will do it every 2 minutes or so. But for now, try to increase the volume(you can do this while screen is off if using Google Music, not sure about others) and see if it solves the issue for now. I will look into it and test with another music app(probably winamp) and see if the problem arises. If so, then I'll look into the system configuration and see if the problem is there. I know I didn't change any bluetooth settings in my ROM, and I haven't noticed any changes by Nitro in Eclipse. So this leads me to think its an APP problem.
I use juice defender and other custom settings for battery life, but I know for a fact those aren't the problems, so if anyone reading this looks into the issue, the problem is either Google Music or in the system configuration. So don't go looking into Juice Defender or other apps to be the problem.
Disregard...I am blind
Like stated.... It's not another app interfering.... Dsp manager is not on gbp7...

[Q] Tasker script to solve headphones/incoming call/notification issue

Anyone able to create a profile to solve the issue we have with our note. The issue is the following,
If headphones are plugged in and we get an incoming call, the ringtone will play on both speaker and headphones.
If headphones are plugged in and we get a notification, the sound will only play through speaker.
I tried to do a basic script that has headphones plugged in and incoming call for context, then set ringer volume to 0 and play music ringtone.mp3. Add exit task to for the opposite, raise ringer volume, stop music.
The problem is, it worked, if I didn't have music playing already when I get an incoming call, which is the whole reason why I would have headphones plugged in to begin with. The task successfully sets the ringer volume to 0 so at least it didn't play on the speaker, but then nothing would play on the headphones, and the music I was playing would pause (like it's supposed to), but the ringtone I specified didn't play. Ending the call resumes the music I was playing.
Anyone willing to shed some insight on this?
This issue is next on my list. I believe it is an issue with how the phone distinguishes what the sound is. ..phone vs media...hard to explain

Latest OTA and Navigation

Just trying to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue I am having with Navigation and media when connected through 3.5mm jack.
When ever I'm listening to music through Google Music or power amp and I'm also using navigation at the same time the woman's voice comes through very distorted when giving voice directions. On music apps that actually get paused when guidance is being read you don't get the distortion but on apps that turn down the volume and play the navigation over the top of it you get a pretty nasty sound through the headphone jack. On apps like Doggcatcher the problem doesn't happen because the media gets completely paused.
I've tried this on Viper 1.0(works great, old OTA). Synergy(distortion), Stock with goodies 1.04-06(distortion) Mean Rom(distortion).. Anyone else getting this?

[Q] Popping sound between songs

So I just got my S5 yesterday, it is all stock unrooted. When listening to music in the car, between songs, there is this popping sound. Not super annoying, but still it's not very pleasant to hear. Also happens when a notification sound goes off in the middle of a song, between the end of the notification sound and when the music starts again. Anyone else have this problem?

Try resetting your phone if it stops the problem, otherwise, try flashing stock firmware, this will not trip your knox. If the issue is not resolved, return the handset for a replacement.

Are you using Bluetooth? Could be an interference somewhere or your volume on the phone is turned up too loud.

Is your phone connected to your car's speaker? Or are you just playing the music over your phone?

I have the same problem. It is not too often, but it does happen every once in a while. I notice it more when connected to car speakers (via cable, no bluetooth). I am not sure if it happens with (regular, no bluetooth) headphones.
My phone is also stock, no root or anything. I've noticed the first time I tried it. I am not sure if I need to return it or not...

It might be the cables. Though I have not experienced this with my phone, my earphones used to have the popping sounds and then one day one side just totally went off only to reconnect occasionally when I move it to a right bendy position, with the poppy sounds. So it might be the cables.
Click, pop, or stutter.

Yes, always happens when using bluetooth over car speaker system. Turning on the screen will stop it from happening. From the information I have found here and on the web, the power saving that samsung wrote to help conserve battery let's the CPU go into a low power state when the phone's screen has been off for a period of time. But if you happen to be streaming music, it will start to skip, pop, or stutter. If you turn the screen on for a short period, don't even have to unlock the lock screen, it will stop misbehaving for the same short period of time. However, if you plug your phone in while driving, you can just leave the screen on and you should not experience the problem. Hope this helps, you can google it for more information.
Pop Issue solved.
I've solved the issue. The reason that it makes a pop sound in between songs, is because when power saving mode is on, it is turning off the speaker in between songs. Just turn off "power saving" mode in your settings pull down on your Samsung, and it won't make a pop sound anymore.

I am encountering the same problem on my Verizon Galaxy S5. There is a popping noise (actually it is a double "pop pop" sound) when switching tracks (occurs in Samsung music player as well as Google Play Music). It's also noticeable when muting/unmuting the phone, and when the phone screen seems to go off. I have disabled power saving features as suggested, but the problem remains.
The problem is not noticeable on headphones (but could be due to the lower volume levels of headphones). It IS noticeable when I use the phone with an AUX cable in my car, and extremely bad on the PA loudspeaker system I use for work (I'm a dance teacher, and have generally used my phone as a music player). This is very annoying, and not what I would expect from Samsung's "flagship" phone.
I did a factory reset as suggested by Samsung tech support. Still have the problem.
I took the phone into Verizon's corporate store in SF, and the Verizon staff member recreated the problem with his own S5 too, suggesting this problem is inherent in all S5s.
What baffles me is the lack of a large number of complaints on message boards and the Samsung support forum. Doesn't anyone use their cell phone to play music at birthday parties, weddings, etc? I would have expected more outcry about this.
Any help appreciated!
Guys I am having the same issue with my S5. It is strange there is not enough complaints on it from people!
I have talked to Samsung about it and they don't believe such a huge bug!
Has any body solved this issue?
popping noise driving me mad on s5!
I have the same problem with a new s5 from 3 network. It's highly annoying and doesn't seem to matter which music player is used, power saver on or off and volume low or high on the phone or external speaker via an auxiliary cable. The same cable might I add I used for months for my S3. This just adds to annoying aspects to the s5 and I'm already looking for alternatives to Samsung even though my contract still has 23 months left! A fix for this is needed and will send the handset back for replacement if I have to!
They're was a setting inside one of the system files you could edit to help with the popping sound. I'll try to find the thread and post it up.
OK thanks. I have reluctantly factory reset and the noise is still there sometimes so others have found reset doesn't work. Will look at settings if you can find the thread.
I can't find it but I know it had to do with the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm just not sure what needed to be edited. I'll keep looking tho.
I'm having the same problem . Only when I skip to the next song and it is only out of the left channel.
Popping sound when skipping songs
Have you tried enabling the equaliser in settings under audio effects, as this has resolved the issue for me.
I have the problem as well. Its freaking ridiculous. I thought it was my music player for the longest time. I don't believe I had the issue when I first got the phone, but I really don't remember. I don't have power saving on and it doesn't happen all the time either. But it only happens at song changes or pause/unpause. I get the same double pop as nathandias described. Its bothering me a ton.
i was thinking it would be nice if people recorded the sound (standard audio cable from phone jack to line-in or mic of a computer)
it would be strange for it to be happening across such varied android versions (start of thread is when 4.4 was used, you can have 6 now with cyanogenmod, 5.1.1 from samsung, etc)
Hi,
I have the same problem, it's really annoying! I cannot understand why not much more people are complaining about this. It shouldn't be a problem in a Smartphone today! My Samsung S III didn't have this issue.
I made a video so you can see what we are talking about: Link deleted Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post a link here. You find it on Youtube entitled "Samsung S5 SM-G900F, popping sound between songs".
Did anyone find a solution? Thank you.
Hi. OP was a while ago! The solution was to use a logitech Bluetooth reciever connected to my 5.1 speaker system. Turns out it stops the annoying noise and for me with my s5 had better and louder sound quality. Well worth the purchase!
