I've flashed CM 11 M7 and i noticed a few problems here and there.....
Music Player
When i use the music player, whether it be Google play or apollo , for some tracks it stops playing the music.
It shows that it is playing.. but I can't hear anything. Is it because of any format problems? i checked the formats but they are all mp3.
Sometimes it will go mute in between some track and then play again.
Lock screen
The phone suddenly hangs up and the lock screen comes up. or else it reboots. This does not happen that frequent.. but yes.. it happens.
For now i've noted these two.. has anybody else encountered any such problems?
Can anyone provide any solution?
Music player.......KNOWN BUG/ISSUE.....if it's a deal breaker....go back to CM10.....no other option.
This has been covered/discussed "ad nauseum" in EVERY CM11 thread so you really SHOULD have known about it.....
Lock screen.....probably a local issue (your device).....a full wipe and clean install would probably help.....it's not happened to me, and I've not read anybody else having the issue....
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right

Well i had seen two three people write abut music player problem but i could not really relate my problem to that. ay be i missed the thread which addresses this issue.
But why is going back to CM 10 is a solution? They are not going to fix it in M8?
I'll be doing a full wipe while putting cm11 m8 next month. i guess that will do the work for lock screen. isn't it?
If playing music is of primary importance for you then (at the moment) there is NO fix for this bug, and you'd be better off using a JB based build.....because until cyanogen find out why it's happening, this problem will keep on occurring...... so if it's annoying you enough, reverting to CM10 IS the only current option......

I have a uk set gs2. The problem nw is it at times it automatically restarts. It happens maybe 2 times a day. Or less. But it bothers me. Wonder
What could have causes it? I have rooted it with kernel from chainfire. KE7. Installed rooted apps like adfree, density changer and market enabler. No task killer. Any help from this? Appreciate it. Thanks!
This was happening with me as well after i installed No Lock. Removed it and it never restarted since.
I have the same problem. My SGS2 reboots frequently, especially(mainly) when I am using the default music player.
I have a stock SGS2, no root or taskkiller.
I do have last.FM running also.
The reboots are really random and not related to the amount of free RAM (there is usually a lot).
Another thing i want to add is that the reboots are really quick, does not seem to occur like the normal (re)boot process.
I had the same problem. The music player shuts down after awhile. But the reboot was a quick one. I use screen off and lock. I didnt use no lock though
Yes! This happens to me aswell. I can recreate this using default music player. When I play my quick list it reboots...well the reboot takes like 5secs? Blazing fast but still it is an issue. I have stock ke7 too with cf's root kernel. I didn't stay on ke7 wothout root for a long time so can't know for sure if that's the problem.

Same here guys .With xwke7 something goes wrong with the stock music player.Very fast reboot.SAMMY?>?????
my reboot is probably even faster than 5 seconds...
when i listen to a podcast on the default music player it suddenly stops and instantly plays the tone it plays when the phone starts and when i unlock the screen everything is booted up already, so i dont know if it even is a real reboot or just some reinitialization or stuff... i gotta check if it happens with other mp3 players too.

I can't say that I know exactly what the difference is, but for me, I see the SIMM PIN entry screen, meaning that if a "reboot" goes unnoticed, my phone ain't a phone because it's off the network until I get my PIN entered.
I seem to have the same problem.
This has happened since the day I got it (original firmware KE1) and have also tried updating it too (KE7)
I have noticed this especially when the music player is running.
Another thing I have noticed is that if its in my pocket (with no force being applied to it) it happens more frequently than if I have it in my hand.
Yeah I have the same problem. But I only ever notice it when I'm running the stock music player.
I believe it happens when these happen at the same time:
1) the stock music player is being used
2) the phone is vertical (like in your pants or chest pocket) - this one I am the least sure about
3) there is a change in GSM/3G/4G signal, even if the phone is in airplane mode
sounds crazy, but these are the circumstances I get it under, at least two times in the day.
I only experienced one sudden reboot in 2 weeks. I'm on stock KE5, no root. It happened when i was switching off/on the screen and unlocking the phone too fast using WidgetLocker. The weird part was the reboot was blazing fast, the boot animation for a second or two and then phone went to main screen instantly.
Same story here, KE7, when playing music player it restarts randomly.
I have this firmware for 3 weeks and it just started doing this this week. Happened 2 times in the last 2 days and got me worried that.it is hardware related.
hi
i am having the same problem, only happened a couple of times like explained here, in music player it will randomly reboot. i am on ke7 with cf-root
i had one yesterday though, phone was on my desk not using it at all, only push email active, nothing else running and i just heard a sound from it, looked and it had gone into "Safe Mode" (said bottom left of the screen), also some of my widgets had disappeared and needing readding, and also pretty much everything from my folders in applications had jumped out and gone into the default applications pages (about 30 of them!)
anyone had this problem before?
it was posted in the KE7 release thread and confirmed to be an issue even with poweramp as well as the stock music player. I'm currently on KE2 without a single issue with the audio player and i had to revert back to KE2 from KE7 because of this issue

Ph00ny so you're not having this issue anymore?
Actually I loved my old sgsII (apart from screen which is why I replaced)
KE2 Was awesome. More wallpapers and etcs. I might do the same if the randon odd reboot stops.

As of today my music player is unusable. It stops/pauses music every couple of seconds now, I hope they will release new firmware soon :.
Here is one for you, after thorough tests I have come to conclusion, that random restarts are happening when using wired headset, phone does not restart when using loudspeaker or bluetooth headset...

yeah you are right, i have the pin security enabled too, so this cant be a full reboot, since i would have to re-enter the pin code ... so its probably just a restart of some component (touchwiz?)
and yes it did only happen when i used the stock music player in combination with a wired head set ... right now i use poweramp and did not have this problem anymore

Does anyone else experience this with the new leaked 2.3.4 HKTW build? Or is it just my Atrix?
Yeah I exp. It as well but I notice my screen becomes in responsive and so do the touch keys. Only the power button and volume rocker work.
I've only experienced this while on a phone call though to be honest. Like when I'm on hold and I'm.checking Facebook or I'm looking something up on the web while on a call. But I definitely think it's a bug in hktw build 2.3.4 cause I beverage had a problem before with it.
I tried looking through the forums and haven't seen any other complaints untilled this one so maybe its just a few of us. Can any one else confirm this or is there a fix some where?

mine works fine...
Happens to mine all the time. Fixes itself after turning the screen off.

when mine freezes even locking phone with the power button and waiting a few seconds to turn it back on doesn't help it still stays un-responsive at the lock screen. I'm actually noticing it happening more and more frequent. or I'm just multi tasking more and more frequent lol idk cant wait for a USA build as apposed to this HKTW build but hey i got to say its definitely pulling me through this month of waiting for it ;P
Mine happened a few times a few days ago...then once the day after, and not since. Been like 4 days now.
i've a cyanogen 7 in my wildfire, and start happens and i dont know why, i've this rom from 3 months and never heard such a thing, hope some one can help fix this.
I've have done a hard reset and nothing
Mine did that already in 2.2 , back then the fix was to lock and unlock the screen. That would always fix the issue, at least until next time. Now in 2.3.4, it still happens, but if I wait 15-20 seconds it usually fixes itself. Looks like Motorola applied some fixes but didn't fix the issue completely.
Bell ATRIX Gobstopper 2.3.4
well guys, i solve the problem for now....
solution:
1º make sure that you have a backup prior to the problem (original stock or other thing), if not you might have to install the room from set one.
2º retrieve you sd card, make a backup of some things that you dont want to lose (like pictures, ring tones, mp3 etc) and leave a folder with a backup that you have, next format sd card in fat32 and put the things that you save (note, dont do all the backup of sd card, like the folders with .com... and android folders etc)
3º go to clockworkmod recovery, by restarting to recovery, wipe all data, like the firs time you install the custom rom, now go to backup and restore and do restore to your backup.
4º Restart and voila, that works for me...i figure that was some app that might cause the problem,(thinking on ndrive 11) im going to test now, but it works.
cheers and post something that might help some one
Gingerbread Problem
I am the same problem everything was fine with Froyo once I updated to Gingerbread I had these issues. Also the droid and nexus folks are reporting those just google up gingerbread phone freeze. I have not found a fix yet. Thanks
Does anyone ever have issues with the phone/dialer app?
If I try to call someone from contacts, I swipe on their name to the right and nothing happens, if I try again, I notice the contacts app has frozen OR I try to swipe again and nothing happens again. Eventually it might work after 2 or 3 goes.
Then I'll hang up after finally getting it to make the call and the phone immediately tries to make the calls I tried to make earlier... This happens fairly often but not all the time.
OR – (this happens rarely but does happen)
Phone rings, try to swipe the green answer thingo and it just bounces back to where it was, try to swipe/answer again nothing. I can't answer the call. Happened today, really pissed me off. Phone app crashed and refused to make a call after that for about a minute.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Using Android 2.3.5 Vodafone (Australia) stock unrooted.
Anyone?
Would love some help on this.
Yes I am facing the same issues as you.
A few observations:
problems exist on stock dialer app as well as third party dialer apps
It's an intermittent problem i.e. sometimes the problem shows and other times it does not
I was facing the same problem a couple months ago too, since i was running 2.3.3 so i had just upgraded to 2.3.6 and the problem had disappeared. But out of the blue it has again started now while i am running 2.3.6
Currently i am running on stock rom, cf rooted, latest modem.
Am looking for a permanent solution and will post a solution if i find one, in any case hope the official ICS release (due on the 15th) should solve the problem anyways.
Anyone else facing the same problem?
Updates
Usually clearing the cache and calvik cache does not help resolve the issue.
After posting the above post I had just created a ClockWork mod backup and Restored to the same. Dunno how but that resolved the issue, or to be exact, the issue did not surface for a couple days.
Today the issue actually became too much for me to be able to handle.
So I again cleared both cache and dalvik cache and then fixed permissions via CLockWork recovery menu.
Since then I am not facing the issue yet. Hope it works for you too.
(But this is just a preliminary observation and maybe the issue shall resurface with long term use)
p.s. really hoping that the impending ICS update will permanently fix said issue.
Unsure if this a problem caused by CM 10.1 or android 4.2.2 but using both jellybam and paranoidkangdroid I am unable to put the screen to sleep, the hardware button still works for shutting down just not turning off screen. I also have a hard time getting music to play, requires reboots and shutting down of apollo app, unsure of which of these actually does the trick or if its just luck.
Part of the symtoms include a flashing black screen, what it looks like is a black overlay with part of the status bar still visible. As well as rare random reboots.
Does anyone know if this a problem with the i717 and the most up to date roms or something else.
Help much appreciated thanks.
The only issue I can comment on is Apollo. Mine you have to select the music you want or hit play, wait, hit back when the app freezes and then wait for the pop up saying "Apollo has stopped working". Press Ok and go back into the app and hit play or the song you chose again to get it working. After that the app works amazing! I think it actually is a common problem on 4.2.2 but can't say for sure. The rest, I don't really know what to suggest. Sorry
Best of luck to you

I'm getting this same issue in JellyBAM, PAkangdroid, and CM10.1 M-release (2013-04-11 latest). Re-flashing the ROM in recovery seems to fix it for a while, but I still haven't been able to narrow down a root cause yet.
This is very annoying and it happens a lot when I'm listening to a podcast or music in my car using the aux port. It also seems to happen a lot when my data is turned off and my phone is picked up and put down randomly. Really starting to piss me off and I have disabled voice command settings to no avail. Anyone else having problems like this and what can I do to solve this without root? I also just updated to the latest ota so I'll have to see if it fixes this problem later.

If it's the same thing, it happened to me also. It's the program called Voice Mate. You need to freeze or disable that program and all is good. Try settings/application manager and go to the "all" tab. Search for anything that has "voice mate" in it. Disable it.

Are you rooted? If so, use Titanium Backup to freeze it.
Did anyone find a solution this problem? It is happening to me too (especially when I'm playing music or when 4g is off) and I can't disable Voice Mate because it is greyed out.

Took me weeks to figure out but I had to download the swift keyboard app, then remove my PIN to get into the phone, then go into SETTINGS, BACKUP & RESTORE, then Factory data reset.
Be sure to backup all your data first.
I read another post last night in the LG G3 General Forum about this issue. Several of the posters stated that the 3.5mm audio plug is causing the voice mate and voice command to activate when using the headphone port. Several people also stated that they could duplicate the concern repeatedly by turning or twisting the plug. Don't know if it helps anyone here but it looks like the same complaints I read about last night. I'll see if I can find the OP that discussed the issue and post it back here if I can.
Has anyone found a solution? It's happening the same thing to me. Every time I wanna use the jack port (just to listen to music), Voice Mate pops out and it's really getting on my nerves!! I wanna get rid of it, but I can't delete it, just deactivate it (and I did, but it keeps popping out)... I don't wanna be root, because I'm scared of messing up my phone. If any of you guys found the solution without being a root, I'd be truly thankful for life!
OH MY GOD IT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO ME TOO AND I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY.
I found that it may have been related to water -- when I was running and getting sweaty, or it was raining, the problems were happening. So in terms of what I've done, I have frozen: LG VoiceCommandSpeechPack, Voice Command, Voice Mate, and Voice Mate Engine. This didn't fully fix the issue -- now, I just get random pauses and unpauses occasionally and it's due to the same problem of the jack port being wonky. It fits perfectly, it's not jimmying inside the port or anything but it's definitely re-creatable, it's such an annoying issue...
It's weird, after many restarts and cache clears the issue has definitely gone away, where before it made listening to music unbearable now it happens once in a blue moon, again subjectively I think it might be moisture or water or something.
This began harassing me also two days ago. Nothing fixes it that an ordinary user can get to, including what little I can get to with Google Settings/Search & Now/Voice/OK Google/. In my case, I cannot manually cause the effect by doing anything with the 3.5mm audio jack on the phone or any of several earbud jacks. Think I am going in to my cell phone vendor tonight after work and raise my voice a little to see if I can get them to fix the problem. Sux! Almost makes the cell phone unusable.
