Bizarre behaviour when syncing large amounts of music - HTC One X

I had something bad happen to my rooted one x running leedroid 4 yesterday.
I sync'd a lot of music to the phone, around 15gb. I then disconnected it and went out in the car and the phone freaked out, everything crashed then it wouldnt boot for a good 10 mins, then when it did, it was really slow. The back of the phone was red hot.
anyway, i ended up having to restore from a nandroid. Everything was back to normal.
So, i decided to try again tonight. It did the same thing. This time i've narrowed it down to the music apps scanning the music. If I freeze out the apps (music & player pro) the phone works normally.
I've tested this a few times and get the same results. I've also noticed that when the music player is scanning (you can see the album list updating) the battery discharges faster than usb can power!!!.
During normal use, it's doing things like bluetooth streaming and gps at the same time with no issue. It just seems that writing to the internal "sd" is killing my phone.
Has anyone else transferred a huge number of tracks to this phone? Is this a rom issue?
It seems to work ok with lower numbers of tracks. which is leading me to believe that the scanning of music is the problem

This is an issue.
Had it too, sync the first 5gb, let it do its job. It will freeze, stuck, bug and **** as long as it is indexing the new music.

the irony is, my old desire v1 happily syncs and scans 16gb without a problem

Identical issue. I returned it lol
New one seems fine but I have left it stock. Its possible issue with my old one started after unlocking though it was present even after relock and RUU

Mine is on LeeDroid from and synced 9gb quickly and went right to listening without noticing anything different

Hello djboulette, I had the same problem: dropouts when turning display off and randomly while playing music. Also the system hung from time to time. The only way to solve the problem is to do a factory reset. To do this go to Settings->SD & phone storage->Factory data reset. I recommend to backup your phone because this wipes your entire phone memory. The system software and the files on the SD won't be touched.
I hope I could help you.
thank you for your reply, but problem occure with fresh install too.
But it's weird that nobody with froyo sense experiment the same problem.
Also i have a friend with froyo sense rom and same laggy sound bugg...
I have a very similar problem with the HTC Player. Besides of that everything seems to work fine. I don't have any hangs etc. I think the dropouts are happening when the SD card is accessed.
I tried MixZing and have very similar results. Maybe the SD card is too slow, no idea?
Hello, i don't think is the sd card too slow, because with 2.1 eclair no problem at all.
I have a class 4 16go Lexar card
and my friend class 6 16gb transcend card
It seems to me that the memory management changed. I'm not sure if as much cache is available to the music player as it was on 2.1. If this is the case the storage has to deliver faster. It's a long shot but I can see the same problem with different players and different tunes that used to work fine.

my htc music widget seems jumpy, when recving txts or using copoilot, when using coplilot espicially, the music seems to jump when i tap the screen
Hello, i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723073.
I think all is linked, maybe the sd card gestion has changed, and perfomance too.
As in the signature of my posts, I have the stock ROM on my unrooted Desire. However, after the OTA update it occured to me. The sound of the music player dropped frequently. After I hard-resetted my Desire, it was gone. I could browse through my galleries without a single drop of the sound.
The thing with the SD or generally the file system speed of my Desire was never a problem. It was fast all the time. Maybe it had something to do with my goldcard or it was a coincidence. I don't know.
Sadly problem still here after factory reset.
Nandroid is my friend, but thank for your help ^^
Hard-resetted, formatted my SD card.
Still choppy. This is really sad.
Flash is rubbish, russian froyo has some localisation problems (like when i want to type space, it types "!" instead, yeah, that bad), SD card copying is slow, and music is laggy. I wish i've stayed on eclair.
I have no problem with Music Player, yesterday i've listen more than one hour and a half of continuous music playback without any kind of problem with some tasks in the background (Last.fm, Seesmic, Facebook, weather widget etc).

Did you tried to load gallery, or some apps that read to sd?
I tried so many ROMS (ap2sd+ or not), all with problem (Whatever the music player: spotify, 3, stock player, etc.)
Except with vanilla ROMS, music run smoothly.
I have a LEXAR 16gb micro SD, class 4, with ext3 partion.
I also had the problem on Froyo, and traced or back to a widget I was using. Pure calendar. Not saying the widget is faulty, but it seems that the widget and maybe other widgets that call on processor power regularly may affect the music player. Changing the settings on the widget sorted the problem. See if there is a process or widget that is polling regularly, and that may be your problem. To be honest, on a multitasking phone with a processor like ours, this shouldn't be an issue, but hey...I may be wrong. Not sure if it will help you guys, but hope it will.

I tried different combination, even with no widget at all, and no running apps on backround, same problem.
I'd restore a old nandroid backup of my eclair stock rom, no problem a all, even with a tonne of widget and running apps.
HTC froyo for sure...
I'm getting the same problem only since the ota update. Listening to music as I'm writing this and its fine but as soon as I access photos the music becomes laggy. I have a 4gb class 6 sd card so can't be the speed of that. I'm using task manager and there is loads if free memory... strange.
Can I ask aswel, the people who are having this problem, have you tried recording in 720p. I tested his out earlier and it seemed to record fine but The playback is really poor. Very jerky and laggy.
What transfer speed are you getting from the class 6 card? Measured on the phone, not on a pc.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ok I have just tested my mem card. It states class 6 on the card although the app that I used says 4mbps write and 6mbps read. The app states that this its a class 4 card so can't see that being the problem.
Any ideas anyone

[Q] Music stops when switching apps...

While I've been a member of XDA for quite a while (since my early days with a TyTn II), I've never posted. Mostly because I've always found an applicable post regarding my interest, need, problem, etc.. Can't find anything this time!
I recently upgraded from an original Moto Droid to the Incredible (bought off E-Bay) and have two annoying issues.
The biggest is that, unlike the Moto Droid, the music stops whenever I switch from music player to another app. On the Droid, I could go to the home screen or browser, etc and still listen to music. The weird thing is that it still exhibits the same behavior after rooting and loading the latest JagerRom. Is this just normal for the Incredible?
The second problem (not so much), is that the phone refuses to automatically pull my apps down from the Market after an upgrade or factory restore. It syncs Contacts and email just fine, but I've had to reload my apps manually after each restore and the switch to JagerRom. It's had this issue since day one.
Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated!
how are you accessing your music? to start it playing? I noticed that if you go through a file manager and play a song you have to leave the music app open or if when you back out it will stop but if you go to the music app and start it then you can back out and it will play in the background fine. Make sense?
Thanks for the reply. I'm playing purely from within the stock player. That's why I'm baffled by the problem.

hmm thats very strange. not sure what to tell you on that. Ill try to rack my brain some more and let ya know if I come up with anything.

Pandora keeps shutting down on new Nexus ICS , Verizon

Just got the Samsung Nexus ICS from Verizon the other day. Phone is still stock. Installed Pandora.
The issue: Playing Pandora for about 30 min or even 10 min the phone shuts off immediately and then turns back on. Does not even go back to playing music on Pandora. Right back to the first screen, password screen. Now I have played google music and this has not happened. I even un installed Pandora to troubleshoot which music engine is bugging. No issues with the phone after I un installed Pandora. I waited a full day then re installed Pandora and the issue has not gone away.
Talked to another forum member who has the same set up and he has had no issues with running Pandora.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

No troubles running pandora here. AOKP with apex kernel. Maybe try fix permissions.
Mine works fine, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

I am running stock 4.0.2, rooted. Pandora is running fine on my Galaxy Nexus
I am running the GSM version. It streams fine over wifi and over the Cell network.
So, it doesn't look like the problem is ICS. It may be something specific with Verizon.
Are you playing over wifi, verizon CDMA, or LTE?
This may or may not be your issue. I've had a few apps crash on me. Turns out they didn't like the force 2d hardware rendering setting. Some apps don't crash but have other issues. Like tap-a-talk won't always show images with it turned on. If you have that on , you can try turning it off.

Pandora works fine for me with the screen on if I turn the screen off it cuts out from time to time. Sucks as I use it while working out and its driving me nuts. Any chance ICS is cutting CPU availability with the screen off and it impacts pandora?

I've had Pandora, Google Music, and Rhapsody all crash my phone a number of times: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379600 . Not sure what the issue is.

Could it be a Bluetooth problem?
I'm having the same issue with Pandora (and Stitcher). I use them on the drive to work with Ford Sync, and after a while the phone will restart. I think it may be a bluetooth problem because upon reboot, the bluetooth connection gets stuck and requires another boot once I get to my location.
The bluetooth incompatibility is a known issue and hopefully gets resolved soon
I'm running ARHD 6.04 (4.03 ICS) on Sensation.
It can be a hard hand off from LTE to CDMA 1X/EV-DO, even with eHRPD. The data connection actually stops before being picked up by the other network. If connection is lost, Pandora will pause itself. If it's in the background, it may be killed.
Just posted up my experience in this thread in the Q/A section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21865443&postcount=21
I was told to try using Fix Permissions in RM, but ran into an issue with that as well.

Solved the Rom Manger Fix Permissions with this:
http://androidforums.com/899973-post26.html
woo,just a radio, still get lot to replace
Huh?
Anyway, Fix Permissions seemingly solved the problem for now... will update later.
So... One Pandora crash on 3G so far since Fix Permissions. Re-did the process and so far it has been holding again, for slacker and iheart too.
Pandora has done that on every phone I've had. That is why I don't use it anymore.

People have been seeing the GN do random reboots for awhile now, even when not using Pandora.
I've had it happen when the phone was just sitting there on the desk idle. I've had it happen during navigation with Google Maps. But it most frequently happens on Pandora.
There is a theory that it's a heat related issue. Basically that the phone is rebooting to protect itself.
There is some logic to that, as it seem to happen most frequently when I've got it plugged in charging and I'm streaming something to my phone (Pandora, Google Maps, etc).
It's apparently an issue Google is aware of, but that doesn't make it less frustrating.

I wish this were a more general reboot. The only other crash is get is with occasional flash videos, when trying to change the quality (youtube).
Otherwise, I have had NO OTHER RANDOM REBOOTS aside from Pandora/Slacker/iHeartRadio. Happening very frequently again. Is it just straight incompatibility? These apps are unusable and this is a heavy portion of what I use my phone for.
If it were heat, wouldn't all the games that leave my phone at hand-warmer status crash it? This does not happen for me. I explained very clearly when this issue was arising.

[Q] google music player stops playing/freezes after couple of songs

So I use google music player instead of the native s3 music player from samsung because I have all my music uploaded to the google cloud. I just got the s3 a month ago and continually have this issue. I'm listening to music then all of a sudden it stops, it looks like its still playing but can't hear anything and then when I try and back out of it its frozen.
Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
thx in advance

I think its a problem with touchwiz, so far have not had any issues with toasted .marshmallows. a solution I found is to go to application manager and clear data under Google play. Its not efficient and you have to wait a few minutes for it to sync again.

Are you rooted? I had that same issue on jellybean stock w/ root. Better Battery Stats showed I kept getting a LPAplayer wakelock and when I changed the build.prop following this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25475691&postcount=4732) it seemed to help. Dunno what the cause is or why that would fix it, but try it out if you have root.
thank you for all the responses.
So I am not rooted, just on the out of the box sg3 system.
I will try some of the suggestions..disappointed that there is the issue. And it does the same thing whether streaming from the cloud or the songs I have pined for offline listening which sits on the cache. :crying:
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm on stock JB, not rooted. It'll play a song or two then just freeze. I have to back completely out and try again and get the same results. Frustrating, because I don't store any music at all on my device.

Shouldn't be a touchwiz issue, as I have the same problem even though I'm running Nova Prime. I just replaced the google player widget with the samsung one and have been happy ever since. I don't really miss the cloud sync cause my library rarely changes much.
I am having the same issue. I thought it might be the romantic I was running, but now it has happened on two different roms. I wonder if it is a Jellybean issue?

I'm still having this issue. I don't have music pinned on my device, it's all in the cloud. Never, ever had this issue on my Vibrant. I actually went to Google's help today and the rep who called said they know it's happening with this phone. He advised me to uninstall the updates and then reinstall from the market. I did that, and it actually feels worse. Now it's "frozen" on one song and won't let me select another. The only buttons I have available are back, pause and forward, but it isn't playing anything.
Interestingly, I just uninstalled updates again, taking my Play Music app back to v4.3.606.400990 and it seems to be working fine. I've even had music interrupted a few times by phone calls and it picks up again and plays with no help from me.
Used to happen to me as well on stock, but since rooted and now running 4.2.1 problem has disappeared
same problem with vzw gs3
I have this same problem with my phone. The following steps detail what reproduces the issue for me.
Play Music starts playing, gets through about two songs, then stops.
When waking the phone Play Music is frozen. The pause, previous and next track buttons, but nothing on the screen responds to touch.
Hold down home button and use the built in task manager to end Play Music, accepting the warning.
Restart Play Music and continue playing. It will play normally after that.
However, from then on the LPAPlayer will keep the phone from sleeping.
If I leave it alone, it will show wakelocks into the 10-15 hour range.
A reboot of the phone will fix the wakelock, until I use Play Music again.
I am on stock rooted JB for VZW (VRBLK3). I don't think it's ROM or even phone specific though.Iit seems to affect a wide spectrum of ROMs and a few different phones on different carriers.
I am currently trying out the recommendation on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34586729&postcount=10
I am about six songs in now, will report back if it fails.

Google play music fast forward/rewind in a track

Hi there,
I have just noticed this issue where you cannot skip inside a track in Google music. I can see the progress bar, I can move it to the center but it comes right away back at the beginning and tune starts again. I have no other music app installed, this device is pretty stock aside from being unlocked and rooted.
The same app works fine in my HTC One, there I can advance in the track.
Any ideas?

Same issue. I'm rooted, but stock. I noticed that if you skip the track then skip back to it, it will sometimes work at that point. Not really the most efficient way to do it, but it works for me. I have to do it a lot, especially when I'm listening to a podcast, which can be hours long.
Anyone else cares to confirm or contradict the above experiment on stock rom? Are you able to move the Google music cursor on the progress bar?
I am also wondering whether related to the other Google music issue where, quite often, it'd suddenly start playing music by itself. Although didn't do that today..
Sent from my 1+3
I have same or similar problems, though I've only tried podcasts.. Advancing the track skips it back to the beginning. Using the +30sec button on the widget(s) skips to the beginning. Using the -10sec on the widget skips to the beginning. This happens with the app open, in a widget on the home screen, in a widget on the shelf, and in the notifications pane. It happened on the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3t (recently returned 3 for 3+), both new and running stock marshmallow OxygenOS.
Yeah, this is far beyond annoying. By restarting/clearing cache, sometimes this problem goes away for a while but not for long. Interesting that the only manufacturer affected seems to be oneplus, according to my research. Still have this problem after 3.2.8 update

How is this still an issue? I have the oneplus 5 and it's happening to me. Over a year and no fix and only happens to oneplus phones.
