Stuttering music - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello folks,
I got my galaxy note 2 for 3 days now, but when I want to play mp3 music then the problems come. Music is stuttering all the time. I'm not using bluethoot or anything like that. Has anyone too this problem or a fix?
Cheers,
Ramon Smit

Do you have power saving mode activated? (Not saying that is the problem for sure but please check)

Nope, I have everything checked twice. I noticed when i upload my music to dropbox the quality is not stuttering. But when I copy my songs directly from my pc trough usb to my note then the problems are gong to come up.

There is some problem with your speaker. Better get it replaced. I suppose you are getting it normal when you listened through the ear phones.

Problem is also there when I use headphones. Its kinda like digitslisation in the sound. Its really weird. YouTube doesnt show as any problems at all

Funnily enough, I noticed a stutter on some music tracks today when using the default music player.
My mp3's are stored on a 64gb class 10 SanDisk sd card if that makes any difference.

I'm using player pro ... for my music player ... and I had this happen once .. but it was some bad mp3 files .. Blahhhhhhhhhh

I'm having this issue too using the beta of n7player. Don't know if it's player's fault (youtube audio seems fine), or it's something related to custom kernel/rom :S

Possible, but i'm still running stock kernel, rom and radio. I think i'm going to the store and maybe they send my phone for repair. I'll keep you guys up to date

Mmm, just noticed, mine is a bluetooth issue, motivated most likely by the custom kernel/rom I'm running..., the shuttering gets worse if I move away from the phone, anything beyond a couple of meters == no sound at all.

im having this problem also
i havent identified why it is but im getting alot of dalvikvm concurrent and for_alloc freed in my logs
things i've tried:
overclocking
set the minimum to 500 mhz
changed cpu govenor
another music player(winamp)
removing any games that i've installed
and then i flashed it with a custom rom, and i still get lag spikes ;/
http://pastebin.com/XQJNyVng
the lag comes when the dalvikvm shows up in log
i notice that it only happens when the screen is off

auto memory manager (play store) and set "empty apps" to 250 - its better but still Some stuttering

The auto memory manager fixed my probleem! I'm glad it fixed the laggy songs! Thanks!

Hi,
Read on one of the threads that when you transfer songs in bulk to the SGN2, they stutter, but if you transfer in batches of 5-6, the same songs play well.

yeh same problem here with stock music player :/

I have the same problem using the stock ROM and music player.
The stuttering seems random, and I have plenty of free memory (~750MB free).

yeh for me it is also random, sometimes i have listened for 2 hours music without stutters, later i get 1-3 stutters at one song. Especially i get stutters when screen is off or surfing the net. Noticed stutters at 4.1.2 firmwares, hadnt any problems with 4.1.1

I'm still on 4.1.1 actually.

Hmm I'm back to this problem. Stock Rom/Kernel. I'm rooted now.
Used the memory manager but the issues are still there. It's really weird. Did put them one at another on my SDcard trough USB.
When I zip my files put them on Dropbox and download them from my Dropbox then there is no problem..
Almost would think that the drivers are screwing the songs up in 320kbps.

Does this happen with other music apps (winamp, doubletwist, etc..)? I know on my One X, stock music app, it will 'stop' for a second between songs. Not an issue when I'm on headphones, but an issue when I have it hooked up to my car as the interference is amplified by my amp.

Check if there is a 'flip to pause' function. I had similar issues until I realized that this is not very functional, lol.
Cracking noise.. mhm. I had to raise minimum CPU freq. to solve that. Don't know if that's your case though.

Smartaas 245-1075 screen on..scary 122-468 or higher its still the same screen off..
Sent from my Desire Z using xda app-developers app
its probably a processing thing. when u open another app, then power is directed to opening and running the app and is most likely the cause of the hicup
sometimes when i run apps to intensively on my phone and run out of ram, i've had my music app killed before.
Oh..so its something gonna do with ram and processes.. =\

Video Player Eating Up CPU

Hi. I've been using Watchdog for the past few weeks and I notice that the video player goes above threshold a lot even if I don't use it. Anyone else experiencing this?
My thoughts were:
1. Is this an app that is still running in background? Might a good app killer or task killer help?
2. Do you have 3rd party apps installed that have requested permissions to access hardware controls? Some camera apps with such permissions can potentially control your camera usage. Advice...check your app permissions and delete accordingly

Audio delays when using Bluetooth headphone

Does anyone find this problem? I just bought an Creative's Bluetooth headphone exclusively to watch movie or play video games. After experiencing nearly 2 hours, I found audio always lay 1 second. It really annoy me when I am playing video games. You can think of that you are watching bomb blowing up without explosive sounds. I tried iOS, everything is okay. You can't find any audio delays whatever you play games or watch movies. I searched this problem on the internet and found out people who bought Asus transformer pad experience the same problem. They said ICS and KNow have the same problem. Does it mean this is a Android OS's problem? Could it be fixed by custom rom? I absolutely don't like buying a Bluetooth headphone($50:banghead exclusively to pick up phone call. By the way,I am now using Android HD Rom.

I've been using BT headphones with Android devices for years, and whilst I've seen this before it has usually been on older devices and related to the video app itself losing sync, rather than Bluetooth per se.
I've had no such problems with my Note 2, using a wide variety of different bluetooth headsets, and I watch a lot of video on my device. My Note 2 is still bone stock, so I suggest trying a different ROM first of all to see if it makes any difference.
Regards,
Dave
I get a bit of Bluetooth lag when watching movies with my Creative headset. I use BSPlayer and that has an option to offset the audio of videos, so the problem goes away. Not ideal, but it works very well.

I have always experienced a little lag when calling with BT headset.
Tried SonyEricsson headsets, and for now I'm on a Jawbone Icon.
On all phones I have tested, there's this nagging delay in sounds.
When it comes to games, music and such, I have no idea
since I very rarely indulge in that kind of activities...

Which Bluetooth headphone you're using now?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
currently I'm using a Jabra Halo 2, a Jabra street, and a Jabra Clipper.
I also own a Nokia BH-503(might be knock-off, seems good but price was low and the place I got it from has a lot of knock-off products)
and I used to own a Samsung neckband headset(don't know the exact model) and an original Jabra Halo.
all of them had a delay with games on every device I used them with.
to my knowledge the only reason this doesn't happen with movies is because media players can put the sound out of sync by just the right amount to counter this delay.
Gonna test my Sony mw600 when I get home. I don't recall having this problem.

Did you try iOS device? My Bluetooth headphone works great with my iPad. You can't feel any lag when you are playing game or watching movie. So I think it might be bug of Android. By the way , how is Jabra halo 2? Does it sound better than other Bluetooth headphone that you've experienced. I used to like it due to its fancy looks but I end up not picking it because I found some complaints that Bluetooth connection might be stoped sometimes and recover in 1 second. I eventually picked Creative wp-250.

I was using Perseus, now trying Adam. I still get the lag on both kernels, but it doesn't matter when playing videos, as the player can offset the audio, negating the audio lag

[Q] Choppy Music?

I've been using my s2 rooted for a while, both TW and CM. For the past week or so, every 4.2.2 ROM I've used has music playback issues.
Every 30 seconds or so I get skip in whatever music is playing, either with Player pro or Power amp.
Anyone else having these issues? Its only 4.2.2, TW is fine.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I had an issue with rooted roms, on aosp and tw, on tw with the stock music player it would skip the first few seconds of a song, i experienced choppiness as well, I'm on the stock rom right now, its actually pretty solid.
I just noticed this yesterday too. I get occasional skips in the music, probably 2-3 times per song so I think I can live with it but it is a little annoying. I'm on black liquid by the way

Yea this must have something to do with CM, since everything is compiled from them anyway. I'm on Jedi 4.2.1 right now and there is no issue.

Started happening all of a sudden. Basically whether Pandora or Google music after about thirty seconds out would just skip to the next track. This was on slim bean 4.2.2. Also happened on aokp. Just flashed bean stalk but havent tested.

Kk 4.4.2 uk 20b bugs

Sent from my LG-V500 using xda app-developers app
Updated yesterday,found a few bugs already.hopefully,someone can help resolve.
1) screen keeps flashing when keyboard is active.
SOLVED : changed keyboard theme and problem is gone.maybe a bug in default theme.
2) music playback skips / jerks for a split second,not all the time,just every once in a while.i am using jetaudio.this never happened on stock 4.2.2
3)touch screen not as responsive.sometimes have to touch a few times.was working perfectly on 4.2.2. There is an app to fine tune screen which i used for my old galaxy tab,cant remember what it was called.
4)battery drain still a big problem.i had same problem with 4.2.2 maybe i have a dodgy pad.anyone notice an improvement in the battery on 4.4.2
Thats all i found so far,pls post if anyone finds anymore.

Same here ,updated last night.
I had the screen flash but only when keyboard was used in conjunction with internet,using memo pad for instance it did not flash.
I use Poweramp and music is jumpy and has the static hissing noise that others with a Lg G2 have experienced,funnily enough not so bad with default music player,so could be a compatibility issue with Kitkat.
Touch screen ok for sensitivity ,but i have had a few crackles of static occasionally when touching the screen after a break ,watching a video for instance.
Battery drain is the same as yours ,but was with Jellybean also.
All in all don't know why i bothered so far no pluses at all just drawbacks
It is much more snappier,feels more smoother.will try another music player.might also try dyn kernel ,if compatible.
I did some testing with the leaked 018a KitKat I am using.
First of all, I experienced no static or sound issues such as the LG G2 headphone bug (BTW, the G2 ROM in my sig has no such issue). I also have PowerAmp, and checked with both loudspeakers and my G2 stock headphones.
I also checked the video, using a 1080p copy of Avatar played on BS Player Free (better than MX or others IMHO). I watched a half hour, with headphones, and saw not one single glitch, and about 5-6% battery drain (screen at 45% brightness BTW). Although no other program was running, things such as email sync and others were left running normally.
I was just browsing xda thru app and music skipped again,but looks like its the pad thats freezing and not the music player. Because i was scrolling thru a thread and it froze for like a second and music stopped,when it came back,i was half way down the thread.

is there a custom stock rom that fixes battery life?
i don't think so.dyn kernel good for battery life but,not sure it works for stock 4.4.2 .i actually did a factory reset earlier,and not experiencing random freezes.touch sensitivity and battery drain still exists.
I was getting about 7.5 to 8 hours of screen on time with new kk.
Before in 4.2.2 was getting about 6 to 6.5. The difference is substantial. Lag is gone too
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk
After the factory reset the music /pad freeze seems to have gone.now video playback with mx player has that problem,was not a problem on 4,2,2. Is there a way to wipe cache,wipe dalvik before reset,like on custom recovery ? Also.i noticed the update centre app (brown box with android popping out ) is always auto updating,even though i disabled it,it just keeps showing up.maybe this is what is draining my battery.
