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.

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.
A lot of times when I'm listening to music and the screen is off, the music stops playing. Pressing the headset button does not resume the music, I have to turn on the screen and press the play button.
I had this problem on KE7 as well as I have it on KF2, my phone is rooted, currently I use PowerAMP, but if I can remember correctly, I've encountered the issue using Doubletwist as well. I even tried hard resetting, but the issue persists (I didn't really start from scratch but rather restored my user apps from a Titanium Backup).
Before I go through the tiresome task of uninstalling all the apps and installing them back one by one, I decided to ask for your help. Maybe somebody already managed to resolve a similar issue...
Settings> Motion> disable it... It may be because of the motion sensors... If you tilt the phone in a certain angle, the music stops playing...Just try, if it didn't work, then there is a problem...
This seemed to be happening to me when using PlayerPro. However, I had the trial and paid for versions installed, and it seemed to be the trial version doing this. Switching to the paid for version stopped the issue.
Could PowerAmp be behaving the same?

I have bought the full version, so it can't be this. The motion theory is interesting, but the phone was sitting on my desk when it happened today. Will try disabling it anyway.
Setting motion control to off did not help either. ;(

Hey man, im experiencing the same problem.
Glad to hear im not the only one. Ill be following this thread for answers. Im using PowerAmp as well.
Well, nice to hear I'm not alone.
I will try using doubletwist for a day or two, to see if it's a PowerAmp thing. But if memory serves me well, I already expirienced the same issue before buying PowerAMP.

Just came across this thread:
http://powerampapp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1274
Interestingly somebody mentions Google Listen as the culprit. I do use it a lot. Will try removing it and report back. BTW: Pocket Casts is free today on Amazon Appstore!
Freezing Google Listen defenitely helps.
I'm having the same problem, both with the stock player, and BBC iPlayer.
I'm also using Google Listen... so it'll be a shame if it's that which causes the problem.
I've just checked my Listen settings: it's set to check for new updates once a day, but I've had the players stop more than once in one day. I also had 'send anon feedback' switched on. I've turned that off.
I'd really like to hear if it's the confirmed culprit (and how to remove or freeze it) - cheers
I've also heard the problem could be when the phone is switching between 2G and 3G mode: as I'm in a basement office, I have poor signal quality, so there's a chance that's to blame...?
Well I use Google listen on my nexus one for a year now, and it never shows up in my apps list using battery, nor does it ever appear in system panel lust using no CPU. Its been just fine.
I've found the music is stopping when I get Gmail messages (though not every time)... so it's one of my Gamil widgets, the Status bar (though I have notifications turned off) or the Social Hub.
Once I've backed up all my data I'm going to do a Factory Reset
Update:
I've done a factory reset, that didn't stop it.
I've removed the Gmail widget, that didn't stop it.
I've gotten a brand new replacement phone, that didn't stop it.
I've tried a different music player (UberMusic), that didn't stop it.
Anyone got any more ideas?

Ok so I uninstalled all Music apps using Titanium, then went into Recovery, cleared cache, and Dalvik Cache, then reboot. Soon as booted. Used "adb install GoogleMusic4.0.1.apk" ... and boom, worked like a charm
Make sure to delete any old versions of 'music' you may have first. Then install the new one, clear data from inside 'manage applications', and reboot for good measure.
i have 8 invites to music.google.com i think that this is what you guys are talking about?
All invites sent out, sorry
Works fine on DarkSide. Just wish they added folder browsing.
just got home from working a 12 hour shift; invites are sent out. i have 6 left if anyone else is interested, just hit me up with a PM.
All I did was uninstall the old version, no wiping cache or rebooting or other fancy tricks. Everything is working good for me. I didnt realize that Gmusic was still in beta.. If so I still have all my invites, PM me and I will help you out.
anyone getting weird issues playing via bluetooth? everytime i change volume, the music pauses. change volume again, it plays.
Works
I didn't have all the account settings at first. Downloaded the file again and everything was working fine.
I have 4 more invites, too. If anyone is interested PM me.
For some reason the Google Music app will Force Close every time I try and stream a song. It used to happen for only select play lists but now its happening all the time! I in stalled the Google Music 4.0 app with no problems hoping that it would fix my issue but it hasn't. Has anyone come across this or know of a fix. I'm beginning to believe it is an issue that needs to be resolved in the server and not with my device as I've experienced the problem on two separate ROMS after wiping everything. Any help is much appreciated.
Works fine on homebase. Reverted back to 3.0.1 because this beta version has no equalizer settings.

Works fine on Aura too. Just remove the old one first.
Anyone else's music widget shrink after installing the beta? Mine used to be across the whole screen, but now it's only takes up 2/3s.
I installed this on Harmonia 1.6.1c (froyo) on my Optimus V. Works great!
I just uninstalled my 3.x version of Music Beta first. I did leave the stock Music player on though for kicks. Wanted to see if it would bother it, and doesn't seem to be causing any trouble. It didn't bother the other Music Beta version either.
I haven't noticed and repeating songs yet. That was the bug that drove me nuts. If you started an album it would repeat the first song forever until you manually forwarded to the next track. It appears this bug could be fixed in 4.0.1? Anyone else notice this?
Sorry to seem like a noob, but I installed it and it's working fine. Is it going to stop working after some period of time or will it always work?

Really wish Google Music had an option to search for an album and it's data. I hate manually fixing all these albums! I have like 12 albums that are all the same album but I have to manually edit them.
Also, they need a way to make it say 'these albums are the same, local and cloud'. I copied straight from the PC that uploaded and now all I get are duplicates.
I installed it leaving the old version. No problems, it works, but I don't like it.
Is it just me guys or do you also encounter some random stuttering while playing music in stock music player? It's just a quick stutter but really annoying since it happens randomly.
Im on stock LJ1, and this never happened when Im on ICS

Tried. Didn't help
Even tried b changing audio priority to highest.
Specially happens if I'm browsing something and some picture starts loading.
Doesn't happen in my year old iPod.
And I don't think it used to happen in ICS
I had a similar problem which i think i worked out to happen when a message was coming through or a application was updating, leading me to think it was a low RAM problem so maybe this could be whats happening, if alot of things are open in the background. Either that or processor isnt working fast enough. If your rooted and have a custom kernel try changing the profile to maybe a performance one?
But this didn't happen in ICS... jellybean was supposed to speed up our device not to make it crawl... looks like touchwiz is really :thumbdown: :banghead:

I'd say probably not - I can confirm I've got this issue too, after upgrading to JB. I can't see why so many with the same problem would mean that all our phones are faulty.
Has anyone got a resolution for this?
Mine does it too.. Its just cause of too low ram or something. Never had this problem on S2. This is just samsungs way of saying "upgrade to the S4"
This phone would be brilliant without all these microlags because of low ram..
Questions go in the QA section, not general.
Hit "report" on your post and ask for it to be moved
Same for me since the JB upgrade in Poweramp and Play music. I thought it was something to do with my setup but had the sudden death failure on my phone so started with a clean install when it came back. Problem is still there with my new 32GB mboard and I haven't done any restores of apps.

It seems like some apps when they give ask CPU ( or RAM ) for something, the focus shifts from the music to that.
Like when weater widget asks polls for weather or something.
Funny how my 6 years old SE Walkman w800i was able to play for hours without a micro shutter.
And this almighty phone can't do a simple task,
It's worse when I try to browse and play music.

I agree. I've noticed it mainly when getting notifications through. It seems to me that it's down to bad RAM management. My Desire had less ram but played music fine with ICS.

Reply ****ing frustrated with the phone.
Can't even listen to song on PowerAmp while surfing Facebook in the app or browse lightly on Dolphin .
The songs start to shutter at random places.
And if I press home button, Nova launcher reloads.
I'm on stock LLC with stock kernel.. Rooted.
Any solutions?
I tried many things, new roms, new kernels. All megawipes and stuff, nothing works..
Same problem here . It's so annoying. Given the great number of people with the same problem, I don't think it is a phone problem but a JB one!! Please!!! Help!!! I already tried changing the buffering size and even though it did help a little, I still get some stuttering!
Here's what I think I've worked out so far.
The problem has only arisen since JB and was fine in ICS. A change of handset has the same issue with a clean install of JB.
It seems to happen across different music apps but tunein radio is fine so isn't a specific audio app. Could be that it's linked to a particular file format, e.g. mp3?
When it happens in Poweramp I can see the buffering constant, it never fully loads. Increasing the buffer size and priority doesn't help.
Notifications can make it stutter but it seems that the problem is already there beforehand from the buffering.
Clearing RAM doesn't seem to help, however rebooting the phone will improve it for a while.

I had the same problem.
Deleting the musicplayer widget on the homescreen fixed my problem.
Try deleting it or any other widget you have on your homescreen.
Think I've got a solution in poweramp. After a reboot go to settings/misc/tweaks and select keep service. It hasn't had any skips since I've done that and battery life/performance still seems OK. Early days yet though.

so it sounds like its an error with the app? I guess it makes sense because it's such a new service but it's also weird that some people are having no issues at all.
also having force closes
On my note running jedi rom, nexus 4 and my tablet. The radio feature works fine on PC but it won't start on the 4 or my tab. The music app itself closes constantly on my note though. I uninstalled the app and reloaded a previous version so I can atleast still listen to my purchased tunes.

I have over 1000. It worked with 400-something.
I have just over 7000 songs. I am on an S3 on T-Mobile. I tried the new Google play music on several roms, included stock rooted and the app was unusable because of the force closes. I reverted back to the old version of Google play music, unrooted, let my music sync, then upgraded to the new version through the play store, and it has been working for 3-4 days without any problems. I rerooted the phone to test and sure enough the force closes came back. I repeated the process stated above and it works perfect again. I am convinced "root" was causing the force closes... At least in my case. Hope this helps.

I was having the same problem and I just found a way to make it work for me.
1. Turn off phone.
2. Eject SD card
3. Reboot
4. Open Play Music and go through the setup making sure that it doesn't crash
5. Turn phone back off and insert SD card
6. Reboot
For me after those steps it is still working.
Edit: Until I put my music back on my sd card.

I thought the SD Card was the issue too. I've got a little over 3000 songs and I thought it was the loading process causing the FC's so I had done what you post above on 3 separate roms and all have FC'd. It has even FC'd before even launching the application. I have decided to just wait it out and hope that Google solves this issue soon. I have faith in them to get things fixed pretty soon like they usually do. Thanks for the tips though!

I forgot that I had taken all my music off of my SD card before I did those steps. Once I added it back to my card it started happening again after I refreshed. But it didn't start until near the end of the refresh. It looks like there are certain tracks that it doesn't like, or after a certain amount of music on your sd card it stops working.
+1 on this issue, hope they fix it soon, having to use the touchwiz music player and it sucks.

This time I'm pretty sure I have the fix. It is definitely working for me. There's a problem with the album art in the mp3's ID3 tags. I'm pretty sure it's only the art from a few of them but good luck finding which ones. If you delete all the album art from all mp3's you should be able to run the app without problems. You'll have to delete all the music from your phone and re copy it. You might have to delete everything you've uploaded to Google then re upload that too, but I'm not sure about the last part. Hope this helps.

I was thinking the same problem being with album art but I can install Google Music without ANYTHING on my SD card and external SD card and it will still crash. It's very odd so I guess I'm just going to wait until Google pushes next update that will hopefully fix it. I've seen quite a good amount of people complaining so I'm sure Google will look into it.
