weird sounds while streaming music - HTC Rezound

So I have a weird issue when I'm streaming any music, regardless of the app I'm using, where I hear these weird electronic noises. It's not static and I don't get it when I'm playing music off the phone storage or sd card. So I assume it has something to do with the fact that I'm using data. Anyone else have this problem or at least know what it is? I've heard this on every ROM I've tried running on my phone.

It's a known issue...

[Q] YouTube App Lag?

When I use the Youtube app on my 3vo, it scrolls smoothly and all, until I begin playing a video on it. Once a video begins playing, when I try to switch tabs when holding the phone in portrait mode, the transitions suddenly become choppy and laggy, whether it be scrolling through comments, or pulling down the notification bar, the entire phone seems to lag once a Youtube video is playing, regardless of it being HD or not. Is anyone else having this issue or have a possible solution? Thanks (Stock ROM)
Maybe upgrade YouTube app.

I believe it already is the newest. 2.3.4 from the market. Do you think it could be a device issue? I've tried wiping 2 times, and the same issue is happening.
No its not device issue. What r u streaming YouTube videos 3/4g or WiFi??
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I use WiFi and 3G mainly, but I've experienced the issue regardless of the connection type, and also whether it be in HD or SD format.

Ok are you rooted? Have you cleared cache and data on the app??
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I am not rooted, I also cleared the data and cache as you suggested, but I have the same issue. I noticed that when I pause the video, however, it seems to respond faster.. Not as fast as no video playing, but a noticeable improvement over when the video is playing and I attempt to scroll.
I hate to be a downer but this phone does not handle a few things very well, namely the youtube app and it also is slow as hell when you get thousands of texts. I think this is a sense issue personally.
I thought Sense may be the cause to it. I'm not sure if other people are experiencing the issue though, whether it be that a custom ROM solves it or my device is just 'special'..

The problem you are experiencing is universal. Scrolling while watching a video causes lag in the youtube app.

Thank you. I thought it was just my device that did this, because there were no other threads which mentioned this, which I find strange because my old HeroC did it smoothly, and now the 3VO is struggling with it. Do you know if a custom ROM or kernel resolves this?
I have the same problem as well. When playing videos in the youtube app, I get a lot of lag.
I can actually navigate the desktop version of the youtube site with less lag than the youtube app.

I've experienced this problem on numerous ROMs. In regards to kernels, I don't even know. I doubt that a kernel will eliminate the lag, but I'm not one to say.
I am also getting this issue with both youtube and vevo app. When i play videos from my sd card with mx video player, they play flawlessly. So hopefully when ics comes out this problem is fixed.... :/

This is normal and I think it has been posted a few times. Basically it's the lack of gui hardware acceleration on Android gingerbread. If you try out an ICS rom you will see its smoother. Probably not as smooth as you like but smoother than it is on gingerbread.
Don't think its normal. YouTube works fine for me. HD and normal videos play without an issue. Upload and download works fine as well. I'm running SteelH's rom with Chads#50 kernel. Youtube has never giving me a problem in the app or VIA stock browser. So I don't think it has to do with the hard ware acceleration at all. My wife has my old hero and YouTube works fine for her as well. Also my sister and brother both have the EVO4g and youtube works fine for them. Have you guys tried a different version of the app ??? Like an older ver?? Or a newer one ??

I get this issue too, no way is it normal as this is the first phone I have used to have this strange behaviour.

Yeah its weird for me because all my movies and videos that are loaded onto my sd card work great. No lag or issues but when it comes time to YouTube or vevo and even vimeo.... It will lag or skip the video around the end or halfway but the sound keeps playing.. Very frustrating.

If you try the YouTube app on ics it works fine and no lag...
I wish I could go on ics.... But I use the camera and 4g a lot haha

Music just keeps stoping

Hi guys
Getting fed up every time I try to play my music it keeps stopping and I have to keep restarting the music.
I do not have my phone rooted at all.
Does anyone know why it's happening.
Thanks for any help guys
Sent from my GT-I9300
I have this problem as well, I figured it was because all my music was on a Class 2 SD card and the player would stop if the next file didn't load quick enough.
It only plays so much of the song then stops.
But I installed TSF launcher and played the music with no problems at all hmmmmm.
So what's going on?
Sent from my GT-I9300
yes i've experienced that random stop in previous XXALEF.
and no it's not because of the microsd card because i have a class 6 not class 2 as mentioned here. and i've used this microsd full of mp3s in my previous phones.
never experienced it again on XXALF6.
I'm on XXALF2
like I said my phone is not rooted at all.

Did you try a different music player?
Not yet will give it a try
Sent from my GT-I9300
Likely you are experiencing this due to low RAM. If you installed a new launcher and it works fine then the Touchwiz launcher probably uses a lot of RAM causing music to stop.

That just can't be... Proof is here:

I've only ever had this in the past using faulty headphones. Maybe not related to your issue though but never know.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Given up using my phone for music because of this, all music players gave me issues whilst browsing, just listen to the radio now. Crap. I'd try a reboot though, helped me shirt term.
You can always try on another rom (with more RAM free). Or try other headphones just in case
I have had this on a few occasions with the default player .What i discovered was a message flashed up (not persistent notification so probably missed it before) saying no track exists or track not found. Cant recall exactly the message but looking into it realised some tracks were in different formats so basically player couldn't read them so instead of moving to next shuffled track player just stops.
Other thing is some of my music files are in bit of a mess due to importing to SD cards ,phones etc using various apps and methods few wav Flac aac in the mix to.
So just an idea to check your music files with a file manger see everything is in order and which formats though i think default player is meant to play most formats.
Personally i mostly use Poweramp have for few years on devices, like the default player but cant scrobble and prefer widget with no background
I'd say this is a problem with the software. I have had this problem as well. Samsung will need to look into this for sure. If my music gets interrupted at all, i have to kill the process and start it again. I'm not sure if the problem lies in communication between BT, aux jack or what.
Maybe its due to the motion control..Go to settings>Motion>Go to "Turn over to mute/pause" option> Turn it off> Might solve the problem, Not sure!:silly:
Also try turning off "Palm touch to mute/pause" option in "Settings>Motion" itself

Well tried what you said and it works think Samsung needs to get a fix out for it then.

Interesting, think you maybe on to something with that palm touch thing, after all I've taken loads of screenshots in my pocket..
After upgrading my phone to ZSALF1 (hong kong bought), this seems to have fixed the problem with the music starting.
Incidentally, I also turned off the motion to capture the screen as I also had taken screenshots in my pocket. Annoying.

[Q] MP3 only works if under a minute?

Now I know there are dozens of other posts stating that MP3's are not working, and yes I have googled and (xda'd?) it. But none so far have fix my problem. So the other day, when I downloaded an MP3 onto my phone, it wouldn't play. It was all fine and dandy until I realized that none of my MP3's would play. So from there, I tried a variety of common methods to try to fix this mess. I tried clearing the cache, formatted my sd card, deleted and transferred my music onto the phone (by the way, the MP3's DO work, I popped the sd into my cousins phone and my computer and they worked fine.), and factory reset. But for some reason, my ringtones still worked. That's when I realized that only MP3's under a a minute would play while others would not. So my question is how come my phone will only play MP3 files under a minute and how can I fix this? Please and thank you and I apologize if I broke any rules (I think I broke any from the video I just watched )
I'm on 4.1.2 Padawan ROM if it's relevant.
[EDIT] Well this may sound strange but I think it was my battery because I just switched batteries and now everything is working fine (except for occasional screen flickering but that's the result of 3rd party batteries (-_-#))
Have you tried a factory reset? I use MP3 files all the time. Even stream them via BT in my car to the stereo. Plays the entire song with no issues.

My Guess is its the rom you're using. Try a different rom. Some roms do strange things. factory reset wont touch the rom, and if your problem is still there its your best shot.
It's definitely not the rom because I had the rom for a while and the mp3 function worked for a while. It's just after I downloaded an mp3 file it stopped working

do you have a backup to revert to from when you installed the rom?
Well it definitely is not the rom at this point because it managed to survive CM10, oddly enough my ringtones which are actually longer than a minute still play. Is my music corrupted for only my phone?

U can rule it out ifu want but if it were me id try flashing a diff rom and see what happens. It doesnt hurt to try. If the mp3s work in other phones its obviously a software issue with your phone whether its your music app or something else. Try downloading a diff app to play your music and see if that works.

Maybe I was a bit vague, when I said "it survived", I meant the glitches. BTW Late response, but I stream MP3's over bluetooth as well, an A2DP headset to be exact.

Google Play Music doesn't stream songs at all

Hey there,
So I recently flashed my XT1095 to stock+rooted 5.0, and I'm having an issue with GPM. Every time I try to stream a song from my personal backup, it tells me it's unavailable. Downloading music for offline listening works fine, but streaming doesn't. I tried uninstalling updates and deleting data, but nothing. Anyone have a clue as to what could be the issue?
Thank you.
UPDATE: logcat

Try downloading a different app (ie, Spotify) to check to see if streaming works on there.

Here's a logcat of me openng the app and trying to play a track. (P.S.: it works in safe mode!)
edit: it appears to be V4A, which is odd since it worked before I flashed my phone. Let's see.
edit2: yup. Setting it as compatible causes that error.

I'm glad it started working. Android is a unpredictable system and you have to guess and check to see a application is working or not.

DSEE Ultimate only works on stock Music app?

I noticed DSEE Ultimate seems to only make a difference when I use the Sony music app. Does anyone else notice this? I havent been able to see if Dolby Atoms is only working there too.
Since they stopped letting the Music app update metadata, it's pretty pants and years behind the competion. Shame, I enjoyed using it and it might have been placebo, but I thought playing HiRes music through it sounded better.

That would mean that Sony marketed wrongly. Everyone's suffering issues using DSEE with Chrome on Youtube. I thought it works...it appears to cut off at 48kHz. What's going on? Is Android bad for audio again?

I'm sure it tells you in the settings that it's only compatible with certain apps
