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.

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?

so i didnt know this was a part of the hero until now (the lockscreen with a bar above the throttle bar that has the song playing)
iv been using the music app tons, and iv had my phone for months.
but now that its popped it wont go away! (it will prob go away when i restart but still)
using MCR.. only thing thats changed today is some apps like swaze (uninstalled now), an update to quick uninstaller, and an update tooo something else that was also irrelevant
so how can i get rid of the music lockscreen!?
how come i havnt seen it even after using it for months!?
thanks in advance!
Only way to get rid of it is a restart, it gets stuck is when you kill the music app. To stop it from happening just pause the music instead of killing the app.
alright thanks! wierd that it hasnt happened to me.. maybe i pause before i kill it usually :s
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.
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...

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.
Hi guys
Whenever I go running I like to take my S3 with me as I use mapmyrun app and listen to music. Unfortunately, after about 5 minutes the music stops and when I look at the phone it says there are no apps open. If I restart mapmyrun it appears and runs as if it never stopped (in other words, it has been continuing to map my run even though android says it's not open).
I have tried DoubleTwist and the standard samsung music player and have tried turning off syncing and notifications all to no avail.
Anybody else have this problem? Or any suggestions? Because its really annoying me!!!!

No idea m8, i drive everywhere lol jk.
Could be that the battery is getting jolted and causing it to break contact? Just a thought, either that or something on the inside isn't quite secure and it's bobbling about when your having a jog ?
Not sure tho m8, weird one that.
Having a quick read round, it would seem mapmyrun doesn't get on too well with the Galaxy S3... I will try a different running app tomorrow!

that s3 tell you, just jog. don't play me. lol
It is a very Smart Phone if it doesn't like physical exercise because my body reacts in the same way.
Try jogging without the app running? does it still reboot?
If not then you know it's the app.
I wish I could remember when it started but I can't, probably sometime in the last 3 months. In the beginning it was very rarely happening but now it is ridiculous. It happens with the default music app (my car automatically grabs the music off my phone via BT when I am near it) and Spotify. It happens if I am connected via Bluetooth, or if I am using an aux cord, or if I am just playing it off my phone, both with and without earbuds. I can't find an external reason for it, the phone can be sitting untouched on my desk and it will just pause the music randomly. I then have to turn on the phone to press the play button to continue listening. Any ideas?
Oh, and my phone is not rooted and I have the lollipop update. Thanks!
If you want you can download this app and start running it while your playing your music it SHOULD capture everything in the system as it is happening: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.infamous.logcat then just copy everything audio releated. You can also search, see by us seeing whats going on in the system we can better determine it. Who knows maybe you have found a new bug in the lg software :good:

Thank you! I am downloading it now!
Do you have the log? You may want to just uninstall the Google app it may end up fixing your problem.

Sorry, I just now checked back. I have been using the log, but am not familiar with it and I have no clue how to use it. I have recorded/saved logs but I don't know how to access them to even look at them and I haven't had time to read up on how to use it. My fault for dropping the ball. As soon as I can find the logs on my phone I will post something. Thank you for following up with me.
Well I have made logs and I can't see anything on them at all pertaining to the music pausing. The program is extremely slow when I try to 'record'. The last time took 8 minutes just to load the recorder. I tried to export the log to post but after 15 minutes of the program "compiling', I gave up. The problem is extremely frustrating as some days I can run for 30+ minutes with no problems and then all of a sudden every few minutes/seconds the music pauses, which of course then interrupts my run (I'm training for a half marathon and this is stressing me out, lol!). Same goes for in my car; everything is fine and then boom! it's just pause, pause, pause, pause, over and over. I am at a loss.
Anyway, I'm just going to wipe the phone and start over, one app at a time. Maybe something weird is somehow conflicting.
Thanks for trying to help!
Well, just following up in case anyone comes across this same problem and stumbles upon my post.
Before wiping my phone I started making backups of my stuff, I had also done as much possible searching to see if anyone else was having this issue. Well, when I got to my Fitbit app, I remembered that some people had issues (not identical, but sort of similar) with their Android activity trackers and their phone, which made me wonder if I was having the issue too. I have been using the Fitbit app with a Fitbit One with no problems. In January I upgraded to the Fitbit Charge, which uses the same app, BUT the Charge also connects to the phone through the app via Bluetooth so that phone calls will show up on the Charge display. Anyway, I uninstalled the Fitbit app and I have not had the issue since then. So I am guessing there is something with the app, the Charge, and the phone not working together.
Case closed
