Music Playback issues

Hi guys, long time since i post here (since the HTC Diamond)
Anyway, my question goes to those who use the default music player.
I have been experiencing some weird problems.
Sometimes when i start playing music it will start skipping the track ahead by itself and jumping to the next track.
I couldnt identify the problem.
Other day i installed "3" player to see if it would do the same, and it did.
Worse than that, if i fired up the default player, even tho the 3 player was off it would start itself and play musics too at the same time.
My Desire is standard, no modifications.
Anyone here had any problem like this ?

I have had no such problems with the HTC music player, i use it all the time with the AUX port in my car,
are you sure you are not touching the screen by mistake? because i noticed when you lock the device, you can still change tracks without unlocking, double edged thingy, its useful when ur in a car, but not so much if its in ur pocket

I would suggest you to remove your memory card, format it with cardreader (NOT FAST) and then put it back to Desire and again format it from your phone and try again.
NOTE: YOU'LL LOSE EVERYTING ON YOUR MEMORY CARD.
I have 16GB which I use with my Desire and I have not seen the problem you talk about here. And yes, I listed to lot of music.

Ok, thanks for the feedback guys.
But here is what i found out so far.
Tested lots of options with Wifi/GPS/Data on/off and it doesnt seem to be coming from there.
Now the tricky part is with the headphone.
Sometimes when i insert the headphone Sennheiser CX line the phone shows the HEADSET icon on the tray and it is when the glitch with the music playback starts.
Sometimes i insert the headphone and it detects correctly but after a few mins the headphone icon turns into a headset icon and the problem with the musics skipping restart.
I checked the 3.5mm jack and it is not loose, and i insert it well each time.
I have tried to kill all open apps before doing the test run and the same result appears randomly.
I could not trim down the problem yet but i will let you know.
PS.
I will try the format thing after a few more tests.
Thanks again..

As you see its a headphone and it is recognized as headset....odd.

Maybe a 3.5mm jack problem ?
Need more testing...
I cannot reproduce the problem every time....arghhh

I have exactly the same problem albeit with Google listen and the stock music player. Its definitely the 3.5mm socket. I can reproduce the problem each time with the male to male lead I have for the car. I'd really value a solution!!

Please, can someone else confirm if you have problem with the 3.5mm jack ?

Hey just tested with stock earphones (should give same results to everyone by not using my "own" so to speak)
No problem what so ever over here.
BTW, I've used my own in-ear earlier and never noticed anything of what you are describing back then as well.
Maybe you should start a poll?

I use a Bluetooth headset at work because I do not want to damage the phone in my pocket so the phone is on my tool box and "3" Cubed music app will start up when default music player is playing?

thanks for the feedback guys, i hope to hear from more ppl because if this is specific to a few devices i might return mine and request a new one.
I have the same problem with "3" starting automatically too.
But i thought it was related to the 3.5mm jack.

Hey, I have the same problem, my girlfriend with the same phone, also has this problem. I have tried a few other music apps, and they all seem to have issues, including the fact the HTC music player starts playing music by itself on top of it.
I will try and format the sd card twice and report back

Okay, when I use the HTC Headset, I cant skip/change tracks with the headset buttons, also no Pause/Play ... pressing Play results in skipping to the next track ... today it even called suddenly one of my contacts :\
When I use normal earphones I've got absolutely NO problems

I believe the problem doesnt come from the musci application but from the headphone/headset connected to the 3.5mm jack.
For me, if any headphone is inserted and it is recognized as headset, the music applications will go bananas.
I will wait a few more replies and a few days before go to the stor and complain about the issue.

Its definitely something to do with the 3.5mm jack, as i've been playing music for a while on the loudspeaker as a test and it works perfectly...

Is there really noone else having issues with this?

I've had similar results occasionally, all when the headset jack gets jostled. I'm pretty sure it just has bad contacts sometimes. Sucks, but I don't consider it phone-return-worthy.

I have had exactly the same issue as you recorded and described.. after that I pulled out the headset and tried to put it back in, but the phone didn't even recognized the headset at all! I had to turn the phone off and on to get the headset recognized again.. But the issue with the music player going berserk was exactly the same with jumping from number to number, so you're not alone..

No problem with the 3.5mm jack here, but I've seen users at other forums complaining of this.
Problems with third party players seem widespread. A few times I've had Tunewiki start playing when pressing play on the stock player.

BINGO !!!
So, here is the link to this other thread.

I think this is the problem.
I have no idea what TRS is, but i am almost sure this is what is causing the issues with 3rd party headphones.
Can someone else check there and confirm that this could be the cause for the weird issue when the player go bananas and it identifies the headphone as a headset ?

I occasionally have these issues on the included stock HTC headset. It's true that TRS headphones may have inconsistent effectiveness in a TRRS jack, but it's not necessarily the sole cause of issues, at least.

[Q] Audio choppy when streaming to car via bluetooth

Is anyone else having a problem with streaming audio from the HTC desire HD to their car head unit via bluetooth?
I've just tried it for the first time (only bought the phone a few days ago) and it plays for a few seconds and then goes really choppy/stutters to the point where you just can't bear it anymore.
I've always had it working perfectly with my other HTC phone (windows mobile HTC kaiser).
Other than that I love the phone but playing audio from it in the car is one of my main uses for it.

I tried this too, but it works without any problems. I am streaming audio to my VW Passat with the RNS510 navigation system.
Grtz Remko

Weird, last night when I tried it - very choppy.
Tried it today no problems at all now

Ahhh no , thought i'd cracked it but I didn't
Spent 20 mins outside today just in the car with the engine running and no problems.
Took a quick trip out to the supermarket and it started to stutter again several times on the way there but did rectify itself eventully, same trip back home and no stutter.
I had no difference in settings at any of the times i tested.

DHD and BT audio streaming to car radioreceiver
Hello,
Sorry to dig out so old thread but I can't find an answer. The other thread about similiar issue is for Inspire and I didn't want to mix up devices.
Anyway. Recently I've bought Pioneer DEH-4400BT.
Well when I make a phone call everything is ok. However when I stream multimedia (youtube, mp3, internet radio or whatever) I can hear audio skips. Those breaks are very short, like a second more or less. And it happens random. Once in a minute, sometimes more frequently, sometimes less.
I'm using DHD with ARHD 6.3.1.
I tried couple of devices with my car audio: Samsung Omnia (WM6), Xperia Mini Pro (Android 2.3.4 stock rom) and Desire S (not sure what Android version but stock rom for sure). The problem didn't occure with those phones.
To make things more complicated I tried HTC BH M300 bt earphone with my DHD and the problem didn't occure either.
So it seems the problem only exists between my car audio and phone but I have no idea why it can be.
Did anyone had a similiar problem with this rom?
Are there any things I could try before trying newer versions of Mike's rom?
Or even reverting to a stock rom?
Regards
Nard

Best blue tooth headset.

Anyone to recommend a good Bluetooth headset, a set with music controls 3.5mm jack for your own earphones and a display that would display the id3 tags or file name. Of course be able to answer calls.
I'm using a Nokia one at the moment but its not very responsive, dunno if its because of the old Bluetooth 1.0 compatibility.

Sony MW600.

Thanks for the recommendation, so I bought a set after reading positive reviews. Connection was easy and very quick and responsive. But one fault is that the phone itself starts ringing on incoming calls the and some signals through the headset. Weird doesn't happen on my old slow unresponsive BT headset (Nokia) at least the phone didn't ring just signals through the headset bit embarrassing when your phone goes off and you answer on a BT headset.
Any settings that could fix this?
I have resetted BT pairing and the headset but still same.
Anybody use this with wildfire?

Are you using any custom roms? I remember that cyanogen rom has some options about ringing in headphones, if I am not mistaken.
Also, did you test it on another phone to see if it's behaving the same way ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I am using Wildpuzzle 0.8. Checked media and phone audio is connected. Have tried it on a Nokia and same thing happens. Can the headset be updated or something? My way round is to mute the phone when I connect the headset but this is so inconvenient when sometimes I forget to reenable sound.

Try this: Do a nandroid back-up and flash CM7. See if the problem still persists.
If not... I`m out of ideas. Maybe try to get a refund?

I have read many threads with same complaint, now realising It's a feature of most new smartphones (dunno whether its just android or not) that phone always rings with Bluetooth headsets just in case for some reason you take out your earphones for some reason.
I'm a little reluctant to switch to cm7 waiting for it to be stable first.

I think it`s normal for a phone to ring via the speaker even with the headset connected. Maybe they just need to add an option for it.
I meant testing CM7, not switching to it completely. A 30 min job to test CM7 and restore nandroid.

Hi
Just got the MW600 as well, very pleased so far.
I have the same issue, phone is ringing as well - whereas it does not really bother me.
There are few things not working well for me, so I was hoping to find here some feedback:
- No Song titles are displayed (not so bad since it is normally clipped in a position where you can not easily check
- the call-button does not work to call somebody, only to take a call
- the play button does not automatically start playing HTC music - but worked with Winamp and Songbird
Any suggestions ?

Original Rom (l have 2.2.1 nie) have Sound quality issue over a2do. HTC support said, I must wait for next update (when they may be fix it)

I'm having an issue with my Plantronics 903+ Bluetooth Headset. They pair and play's music fine , but it cuts out quite alot if i move about. Honestly if I have to sit still I may as well get wired headphones.
I am CM nightly's (71) with the latest radio flashed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
i use Jabra BT3030
http://www.productwiki.com/jabra-bt3030/
3 years of working, without any problem

Ok, I really start to like the SE MW600 a lot
If you get a call music stops and you can take the call with one button.
Double tapping the call button re-calls the last person you phoned - works good as well.
But I am still not having the ideal media player
Original HTC music player fails to start up automatically when you tab the music button
- but next song/pause works well
Songbird opens automatically, next song/pause/... works well but searching in a track not and it is rather heavy making the phone really slow
Winamp is probably the best, but I still think it is too heavy
Does anybody knows a good light media player with bluetooth support ?

[Q] HOX no speaker sound + too fast video reproduction on media playback -

Hi,
I use a black HTC One X since April 2012. The current software version is 4.18.401.2, Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5.0.
It's both beautiful and powerful and the best phone I've ever had.
The only problem I am experiencing lately occurs upon media playback: There is no sound on the external speaker. As soon as I connect a headphone (and switch to wired headset w/o mic using SoundAbout - my headphone jack gave up some months ago) to the phone or a bluetooth speaker, the problem doesn't occur any more. Funny aspect: Playing Videos or MP3s (independent of the used player software) the video reproduction is much too fast and skips. Also, the track position indicators/time counters in music players forward much too fast.
Things I've tried:
reboot (w/o fastboot)
shut down and power on again
reset firmware (this worked initially, problem came back some days later)
I cannot send in my phone because I had to destroy the warranty sticker during a battery replacement I performed some time ago (HTC One X+ Battery). There is no correlation between this and the audio problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Christoph

Hi have you been able to fix this issue? I'm currently having the same problem. I'm running cyanogen mod 10.2
Please help!!!

[Q] Problem with HTC m8 and headset mic?

Hello, I have a problem with my HTC One m8 and headsets with a mic. This just began happening yesterday, I would listen to music on Google Play Music, when suddenly my music would stop and my phone would ask me to unlock my device. It then proceeded to try to do a voice search without me starting it, and tried calling someone in my contacts, but would immediately hang up and I'd hear a brief moment of static. At the very least can someone help me determine if this is my phone overreacting to the microphone, or if it's the headset all together?
The specs if anyone needs to know:
Phone: HTC One m8, had it for a few months
Headset: Pear sport
Phone is unrooted on android 4.4.2, sense 6.0

Do you still have the packed-in HTC headset? If so try that.
It seems either the button on your headset is malfunctioning; or your phone is. If its the phone, itcould be software or hardware (such as a damaged headphone jack).
