Music Stops playing randomly - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Does anyone have this problem? I'm on the latest version of AOKP with Franco Kernal...Everytime I listen to music, it will randomly stop and I would have to press play again. This happens at random times, (seconds, minutes, hours). I'm using Google Music (Play Music). I have tried PowerAMP and other players, but they seem too all do it.
It's kind of bugging me

It could be a bug with Franco's sound hacks he implements in his kernels. Perhaps try using a different kernel?

hmmm...can anyone else confirm this that's also using Franco's Kernal....

I get this on stock. I thought it was related to another piece of software (pocketcasts) that I installed about the same time the problems started. Seem that the first song is played, then it pauses or stops.

Could be a buggy headphone connector (in the phone), where it send a faulty signal telling the system that you have unplugged the headphones. Does it only happen while using headphones?
My connector does that as well, but opposite. When not using headpones it sometimes signals that something has been plugged in, and all audio is routed to the non-existing headphones.

this bug definitively occurs on francoKernel!
Try flashing another kernel (Popcorn for example) and the bug is gone.
Seems to have something to do with the sound limit. If it's too loud it stops automatically. Try reducing the volume to 60% with the hard buttons and you'll see that it stops acting like that.

It's not a Franco's kernel only problem. I have the same issue on Stock 4.0.2 (GSM, unlocked, unrooted).
It is not the headphone connector that is buggy either since i'm experiencing this with bluetooth headset as well (A2DP headset).
The music app is not crashing either since it doesn't require a full "load" when i select the app. Press play again and all is good until next time.

It happens to me on stock as well. With both the music and listen apps. Seems to happen if I'm playing music for a half hour or so without using the phone.

I am running AOKP M3 and Franco's kernel and am experiencing the exact same thing.

I experience this on google listen on stock 4.0.1. I thought it was a bug with the app losing audio focus. But then they updated and claimed an audio focus fix, yet it still happens. I can force this bug to happen by multitasking moderately. So i truly think this bug is related to the over aggressive memory management on this phone.

Yea I'm using Axi0m and I notice this. I think its an issue with the headphone jack. When I installed power amp, one of the features is to detect connection to the headphones... then the phone started to randomly start and stop playing music completely random.
I updated and it seems to be fixed. Still stops occasionally but at least I can listen for an extended period.

Franco Kernel updater
I'm running Lean Kernel and I get this all the time when I have the volume set to MAX on the device itself, I find if I turn it down just a bump then the problem goes away. This may be some type of fail safe for the phone itself. ??? But just turn your vol down one click and you're good to go.

I always had issues playing music with franco.kernel, it did me just like you are talking about. That **** used to drive me crazy! Anyways, no issues with CM10 M2. Also using the built in CM kernel.

yup, had this thing on both stock and codename android. google music app

Just gotta wake up this thread.
I'm having this issue on CM10.2... I had this same thing on stock JB some time ago when I connected to my BT headset..
Is there any fix for this?
Btw.
I don't use any custom kernels and this is not caused by any kernel and I don't think this to be caused by BLE.

I had the same issue and realized I had the volume up too loud with the mods I had installed. Keep the volume below 80% and the problem will disappear.

Possible solution
I used to have this issue as well, where after a certain period of not actually using the phone, the music playback would just pause itself.
I discovered that I had Play music "Greenified" which is basically a hibernating task manager. That was killing the background process of any music players I had open.
Wether or not you have the Greenify app, check for any automatic task killers and get rid of them.. Maybe that will help one of you guys, it sure helped me.

Only had this happen using headphone volume boost... don't use it

[Q] Music playback randomly stopping...

So this has been happening over the last 2 or 3 days, and it's getting pretty annoying.
Sometimes when I am listening to music, the playback will just stop as if I've paused the music.
This has happened 4 times today, in different situations.
First, I was listening to a podcast in the stock ICS music player while making breakfast, and the playback stopped 3 times. Each time, the phone was in my pocket, and the screen was locked.
The fourth time, I was listening to some music using Poweramp while texting a friend, and the song I was listening to randomly stopped again.
Any idea what's causing this?
Probably a rogue app. I was having the same problem with RocketPlayer, and it turned out the offending app was CBC Music. Even though I hadn't opened it in days, for whatever reason it thought it needed to steal audio focus periodically to resume a stream. The result was spontaneous random pauses. You can try installing alogcat, and next time it happens, filter the log for "focus" or "audio" or "media" - I forget what I used - and you should find a hint as to the culprit.

This used to happen to me pre 4.0.4. Since then I haven't had an issue.

AHA, I JUST installed CBC music before this started to happen!
I'll uninstall it now and see if that fixes it!
It definitely stopped after I uninstalled that bugger. Clearly the cuts at the CBC have been deleterious enough that they had to go with the lousiest programmers they could find!

Happens to me in Google Listen often. Never happened in the stock music app though.

Had I seen your post originally from a full browser rather than Tapatalk, I would have noticed your CDN location and then CBC would have been even more likely a candidate
I actually have this problem with certain headphones that started it of no where. I found that I had to unplug then a little bit so that they aren't completely plugged in and then it's working fine again.
If any of you are on lean kernel...
I've documented and provided logcats...which were confirmed by quite a few users.
__________________________________-
In recent (3.8+, I believe) builds...imoseon updated his sound control mods (courtesy of ezekeel, so Glados may have the same problem?).
HQ audio seems fine for all users, myself included.
But the sound boost mod causes the headphones to think they're being unplugged.
Low boost (for me) allows my headphones to work.
Medium and it'll cut out in a couple minutes.
High and it'll cut out within a minute.
Highest and it cuts out instantly.
This is ONLY on certain headphones, as well.
Actually, all of my headphones (five that I've tested) are fine.
But if I have sound boost enabled and plug in my AUX cord...it cuts out.
Strange stuff!
And the developers seem not to care too much, sadly...
But for me I just disable sound boost an all is well. So no harm no foul, I suppose.

Haven't tried it yet, but I'll be on the bus for a few hours soon, so that will give me plenty of test time
EDIT: Problem fixed, stupid CBC!
I also had this problem after I installed the CBC Music application. Just uninstalled it and we'll see if that fixes it.

[Q] Music stops when app switching.

I've asked this question before but there were no replies.... I hope this time I'll get some pointers and re-phrase my question better.
I'm using the GSM Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1
Sometimes my music stops playing when switching apps or pressing the home button to return to the home screen, it doesn't happen all the time, but very troublesome when it does. It happens usually just right after unlocking the phone from sleep. I'm using the stock music player
I've noticed that this issued happened to Android phones as well, I tried to update the stock music app, and switched kernels. I don't know what else I can do. I don't recall encountering this problem back in 4.0.4.
Any help would be appreciated

Give us a bit more info:
1. What music app are you using? If it's an app that can both play local media files and stream, which are you doing?
2. Are you playing your music through headphones, the internal speaker, or Bluetooth?
3. If headphones, have you tried other headphones? If Bluetooth, how far away are the devices?
4. Which ROM and Kernel are you using?

I said I'm using the stock music player, Play Music.
I'm playing music through headphones.
I am sure that this problem is not because of the headphones
I'm using the stock 4.1.1 ROM JRO03C. This problem happend on both the stock kernel and Franco Milestone 5
Are you running any other memory hungry apps? Sounds like your music player is getting killed because the memory is needed for something else.
I've had this happen in two instances, so hopefully my personal experience will help you.
The first time, it ended up being a faulty cord in my Nokia Purity HD headphones, I bought a new cord and that fixed my issues.
The second time it was because I was attempting to play music, that I had downloaded in Spotify, but since I was in a crappy coverage area, it would pause the music every time I lost a data connection, even though the music was stored locally. Switching Spotify to offline mode fixed it, so you might try switching to offline only mode in Play Music.
Even if you don't think it's your headphones (for example, you tried them on a PC and they worked), you have to remember that phones have many more contacts inside the headphone jack, used for the media controls in headsets (headphones with buttons and mics), so if there is a short in your headphones that makes the phone think you're pressing the "Play/Pause" button, it wouldn't show in your PC, because most if not all PCs lack this functionality.

Music Problem

I have installed the latest build of PAC rom, and even before this I installed the new Liquid Smooth rom, all this on the same day. I wiped factory data, dalvik cache and everything else. When I listen to music while the headphones are in, and click into the app drawer / any other app, the song I'm listening too gets cut off, and it comes back on where it left off. It is extremely annoying, when the phone itself is in sleep and I'm listening to music it works fine, when I try to open up another app while my headphones are in, I consistently hear the crackling noise. I can't even listen to music properly, how can I fix this? I've installed other music players and its the same result, crackling while using the phone, no music crackling when phone is sleeping, could it be a hardware issue? I'm thinking it isn't because I updated to the official release of the Liquid Smooth rom today, which was EXTREMELY buddy, like legit couldn't handle the number of reboots that happened in 1 hour and the horrid battery, and it only started happening today, I am now on PAC rom and it is still happening, I tried rewiping and reflashing but it doesn't work. Any help?
This seems to be an issue for some on the latest build. If you've installed correctly and still face the same issue you can try reverting back to this RC2 build with the new headphone fix. It seems to be the most stable even with the music issue.

believe it or not, downloading power amp music player just fixed my issue, so if anyone is having this problem, just download poweramp, even though the UI kinda sucks, it gets rid of the crackling noise

[Q] Music Randomly Pausing

Seriously, read this post before replying. I will not repeat myself.
I'm currently running CM10.1 RC4. That said, this issue has occurred on other builds of CM10.1 and other ROMs altogether.
This issue only occurs when I'm using the 3.5mm headphone jack.
There are no regular intervals. The music will pause randomly. Yes, pause. Not skip. Not stop streaming. Pause.
This happens in multiple music apps. Google Play Music, iHeartRadio, PowerAmp, etc...
This happens with different headphones. It's happened on my SkullCandys as well as the stock headset (with volume/pause controls) for SGS3.
If I install a new ROM or build, I always do a full wipe. You know what I mean, so do not ask.
Can't think of anything else that's relevant. I really need help on this one. I listen to music daily at work and having to reach over and hit play every now and again is starting to drive me insane.
From what I gather, this seems to be a widespread issue only for some, and not device specific. Some people saying it could be a bug in Android OS, while others blaming it on certain background apps running while listening to music. I'm gonna give it a try while running the current ROM I'm running. Also if the plug moves just enough to barely disconnect, it will cause music to pause.

Bumping because this issue is just not going away. I've tried disabling some apps, using different headphones, etc.. no difference.
Pleading for help at this point...

Maybe the headphone jack in the phone is bad, causing the music to pause like its being unplugged at random times.

audio skipping...anyone else have this problem?

I've searched the forums and found quite a bit of people saying they have experienced this, but I'm not sure if they were using notes or not.
For some reason, it doesnt matter what app I'm using, pandora, xm, or the stock players. They all studder just slightly, sometimes more so when the screen is off.
It's not a bluetooth specific thing, it happens over bluetooth as well as the speaker of the note3.
Is there a solution for this? It really drives me crazy and how can I host a party next weekend with this doing that
My girlfriend does not experience this on her nexus 5, is my problem specific to jellybean?
Thanks for your advice!

yep same problem.
i had it on nexus 4 - 4.3. but um, didn't start on my note 3 until after a few days of use. I'm not sure rebooting helps for long. i tried poweramp and jetaudio and stock player. Skips everywhere.
I tried setting decoder priority and buffer size to higher on Poweramp. Not sure if it'll help but we'll see.
I'm on N2 right now that has exact same problem, but BT only related. The micro pauses also differ between the receivers Sony Ericsson MW600 is so far the worst offender, the pauses last 1/2 second, on other receivers it's barely noticeable.
At least on N2 it's not related to the JB version, it was happening on 4.1.2 and 4.3. Changing kernel also doesn't affect the issue.
I suspect the cause is BT doesn't get enough priority and if lot's of apps running on the background it starts skipping. Usually I just reboot the phone then it works fine for a few hours, sometimes I use fast reboot app, that kills background processes it helps somewhat too.

Using PowerAmp I went to Huge buffer and Highest priority and it seems to have fixed the stuttering for me. I'm on rooted stock.
>Using PowerAmp I went to Huge buffer and Highest priority and it seems to have fixed the stuttering for me. I'm on rooted stock.
yup. same. now wish they'd add the same features to jetaudio+ and other players D:
I get this problem often. Odd.
I'm not sure if this is a solution but I noticed the problem went away when I was using different roms/kernel combinations.
Currently I've been using the compulsion kernel with some international roms and the problem hasn't come back!
Is it the kernel or rom I can't be sure. But either way it's fixed.
If someone experiencing problems with their rom wants to try the compulsion kernel and see if the problem still exists maybe it can help a lot of people.
