[Q] Music player crashes - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I bought galaxy s2 i9100G recently , phone works great except music player .
I had around 3Gb of mp3 songs on my 8Gb memory card(class 2), so i thought because of its speed the stock player is crashing.I removed all the songs from memory card and synced them to phone memory using kies.
I had read some previous blogs that winamp or poweramp will solve the problem, So i downloaded winamp from market and installed.
Phone works fine winamp if i don connect 3.5mm headphone jack, if i connect headphone jack then after random time the music player crashes. Nothing works.. i need to reboot the phone..
Please suggest
thanks,
Vijay

I am having the same issues with my i9100g.
Tried many many music players apart from the stock one, but it still tends to freeze up randomly...
Edit: just upgraded to ics...and my music doesn't hang anymore..!

I am having the same problem with my SII 9100G. I first I thought it was the mps (it always crashed playing a huge file). But recently I got crashes with other songs as well.
Any ideas for a solution?

I did exacttly that.
Unfortunately the next time I used the player it crashed again...
The phone regulary crashes after 10 minutes when I do have runtastic running together with the music player.
After removing the battery (which is annoying during running...) it'll work without any problems for al long time.

Phone hang while playing music

I encountered a problem with my SGS2 GT-i1900G. My phone tends to hang while I'm listening to music using headphone.Usually it stuck when the phone was in standby mode. I'm a newbie, please give me some advise. I had tried to store my music on external sd and also internal storage but the problem still occurred.I had tried all the best that I can includes:-
1. Factory recovery.
2. Close down all unused apps.
Please. I need help
Delete the cache your music / wipe the dalvik cache via recovery
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )
S2 hang while listening to music
Glad i found someone else encounter the same issue.
It happened to me as well while on earphone and phone went idling. I am also on S2 I9100G. When this happens, i need to take out the battery too.
I have changed a couple of memory card. From kingston to sandisk.
Nothing works. At first, i thought it was memory card but if like the OP mentioned. It happened to internal memory. It will happen all the time.
I am using the default music player. I notice that the player would not play in background because once you press the phone button. The music player stop.
My next trial would be using the winamps player and not the default player to see if this still happen. Winamp (widget) allows simultaneous running of other thing while listening to music.
Hope someone found a solution for this. It looks like a manufacturer defects. Either hardware or software.
I'm having this issue too, hope it gets fixed
Tried winamps, same thing.
I have tried winamps. Same problem still.
This sucks.
strangr u all using the default smmy headphones???????try a diff one and post the result
I have used different headphones with my s2 but the problem still there!...wht i think when ur using mobile network switch from 3G to 2G e.g, music player get hangs...

[Q] Sound issues

Hello I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 gt19100. My issue is with my sound. When I first got the phone about a month ago everything worked fine. However a couple off days ago my sound except for in call sound does not work. That is I have no ringtones, no music, no sms notification sounds. It makes no difference whether I have my headphones in or not. The music player in particular seems to have the most problems. When I touch a song to play it, it doesn't play at all. It goes to the screen with the album's picture, but the song never starts. It always remains at 00:00. Eventually the music player will crash. This leads me to believe that it software issue and not a hardware one. I've tried rooting the phone and installing a new image, I've tried formatting the SD card, however this has not fixed the sound problem. Note: This problem existed before I started rooting and installing new images.
If anyone knows anything about this issue I would greatly appreciate any help. If I've left off some information you need please don't hesitate to ask for it.

Okay...
Couple more questions... did you install anything new.. anything different that you did before the sound stopped working?
Try a different media player for music... like winamp etc and post the results...

I don't recall installing anything new. This problem seemed to crop up after I started using headphones to listen to music. But now it makes no difference whether I have the headphones plugged in or not. Still no sound either way. I downloaded Winamp and I tried PlayerPro as well. Same situation. No sound and the song track doesn't advance and remains at 00:00

Download another song and see if that works.
Find your music player in settings-apps-all and clear data.

Download PowerAmp trial, from market.
Check if it plays sound well (it should) and report here

I used Odin. Just a reminder though that this problem surfaced before I rooted the phone. I only rooted it and installed a fresh image in an attempt to fix the problem.

i think it's time to perform a factory data reset.
First, backup your important data.
Then,
Goto Settings - Backup and Reset - Factory data reset.

[Q] Twitchy Poweramp on Galaxy SII

Hi, first post!
I had a Galaxy Player 4 for a while (7 months) before finally deciding to get me a Galaxy SII. I installed almost every single one app I had starting with Poweramp.
What I find quite unbelievable is that most times I press the Menu Key or the Back Key music in Poweramp pauses for an instant. Nothing dramatic, but that never ever happened in my Player 4. And since I bought Poweramp specifically for its gapless prowess, well...
I tweaked the Audio priority and the buffer, but the problem persists.
What is better: to store Poweramp in the SD card or in the internal memory? Any suggestions?
Thank you all.
Moving to Q&A, please post all future questions there please.
Thanks

Sun90, do you listen to flac or mp3s? I have noticed that it's while listening to flac files when the issue is much more evident.
I think I'll start reading about ROMS and all that fun part of owning an Android device. I had a Motorola Rokr E2, so I'm no stranger to flashing and modifing mobiles, but this is a whole new game for me.
And thanks for your reply.
animations...
Well, i tracked down the "problem" to the window animations in ICS. While very pretty, I've found that while listening to FLAC in PowerAmp and switching windows, whenever a window animation comes along, tiny clicks and skips (but annoying for me) tend to show up.
My solution? Turn off animations.
Another solution I am testing is 1x animations and "Force GPU rendering" checked. These two settings have made the twitchiness disappear almost completely.
Cheers, everyone.

Freezing And Lag Issues On My Galaxy Player 5.0

Samsung GALAXY Player 5.0 (US version)
Model Number: YP-G70
Firmware Version : 2.3.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-G70UEKI8-CL566269 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UEKI8
Hey guys I am having problems with my galaxy player 5.0. My problem is that its been freezing a lot lately and lags when i ever play games. For some reason, it does not play games very well like dead trigger, shadowgun (this lags a lot) or subway surfers, it also caused me to restart the player. I try to factory reset, flash the stock rom 2.3.5 but does not seem to help. When i browse the internet it seems to freezes at some point and locks up over time which has cause me to restart it again. However, i went to quadrant and looked at system information and i see that the clock speed is at current frequency its at 800mhz instead of 1000mhz and it changes to 1000mhz but goes down to 800mhz. Also my battery seems to drain alot faster than it use to be. meanwhile i try to root my galaxy player to overclock it at 1.3 ghz and see that if the games i mentioned earlier will help. I try that and it does not help it stills lags and freezes and same with touchwiz launcher it lags. So i decided unroot my galaxy player to make the lag stop but it still freezes. Its nearly impossible to play games i mentioned earlier on my galaxy player 5.0. Not only that but temple 1 and 2 does the same thing . if you guys have any questions about this problem, please leave a post on this thread.
P.S. As of right now, my galaxy player is not rooted and I don't know if i should call samsung to send my galaxy player for a replacement at no cost.
I don't mean to be rude, but you do know that the device was released 2 years ago? So its understandable that it can't cope so much with modern games.

Yes. I played all those games on my player and yes they lag every once and a while, but that's to be expected with a 500 mb ram

I think you should upgrade to CyanogenMod 11. It works better than Gingerbread.

There is nothing wrong with your device. This is exactly how my 4.0 was on gingerbread. Gingerbread is very old and outdated and things hhonestly just got better for me when I updated to ice cream sandwich. I recommend trying to flash cm9 or later (cm10.2 is probably the most stable, but may have camera problems). I guarantee a lot, if not all of those lag and freezing problems will go away with that.
Try iurnait's cm11

sony mw600 bluetooth

hello. any one here using this bluetooth headset? any mods to make the music track show in its display
please advise thank you.
Arobase40 said:
Well, this device is working pretty well, and no problem pairing it.
You need a long press on the MW600 until you have a signal the device is waiting after a device to pair with. On the Galaxy 7.7, press discover and when MW600 device if showing, just press on it, and you're set !
But displaying titles on the small display may depend on your firmware, and the way you play musics.
On my P6800 with a non-stable even official Samsung JB 4.1.2, no problem to play music whether using a filemanager : stock filemanager or ES File Explorer, but the title won't be displayed. Same as with playing musics through stock MP3 Player. Previous and forward commands won't either work from MW600... ^^ :crying:
Maybe with an older firmware 4.04 ou 3.x, this could be different.
On my G-Note 1 whatever firmware versions (including older such as GB 2.3.x) to JB 4.1.2, got the same issue using stock filemanager or ES file Explorer, but works perfectly fine with MP3 player : titles showing and previous and forward commands as well !!! :good:
I didn't try Music Hub or such as I'm not intended to buy Musics this way...

thanks for the input, mine is working including hardware controls, only problem is the track ID not displaying. I tried tons and tons ofr music player, seems like it's a firmware issue
