Lag with music on

Hey all, I have a very annoying issue with my One X, it seems to have much trouble playing music..
When I'm listening music via Spotify or via the regular music app it begins stuttering and skipping after a while playing...
Anoybody else with the same problem or a way to solve it?

I have the same problem ...

Same here every once in a while. If I am not mistaken then this is an issue caused when the phone enters deep sleep or something along those lines. Does it always happen to you or just every once in a while ?

Same problem over here..
Pretty annoying!

by Lag do you mean stuttering at times ? Mine does that at times and can be quite random. Tried doubletwist and ubermusic players but same thing happens in those as in the sense music application.
When it starts for me I just do a reboot and it usually corrects it.

no issues with spotify here.. are you using a custom kernel? are you rooted? bit more info

More likely to be when the phone is switching from power saving core back to the main CPU.
Mine used to lag when skipping songs, over clocking did that trick

For now I have rooted my phone with CyanogenMod 10 ROM using the TripNDroid kernel they suggested.
After I did this the lag has got less, but I haven't really tested it, but I had some lag unfortunately
Grtz

Have all of you accessed the advanced menu and unchecked force single core option? Mine stuttered from time to time befor that

Is it from the Power Saver Settings? I just did that, but I still hear the random choppy sound..!
Running 100% stock. 4.0.4. Using Spotify /w Offline Lists @ Extreme quality.

I'm happy that I'm at least not the only one so there could be found a solution (I hope)

Music player kept on having hiccup (pause and continue)?

When I play music and run another app,the music will be like stop awhile and continue and it also come out some 'cracking sound' (not my headphone problem) then continue..I'm running arhd 6.3.3 and Sd and data swap is on..and it isn't the issue abt ram but something else..I can't figure it out..any idea??

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.. =\

Stuttering music

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
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

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.

[Q] Major lag spike when playing a game and connected to wi-fi.

So basically I had this issue for awhile now, even on stock ROM and kernel. Now i'm using CM10 nightly with franco kernel. Whenever I play a game offline or out of reach pf Wi-Fi, the game runs perfectly fine. But when connected to Wi-Fi i'm getting huge frame drops (1-5 fps) every like 2-3 min. Maybe it has already been answered, but yes, I did search the forums, I searched pretty much everywhere. Anyone had similar issues?

What about 3g/4g?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I do,and I still did not got a workaround with this...but I don't have this issue only when connected to wifi,just every time i do something(play a game,scrolling,switching homescreens) the only workaround is using faux kernel wich is pretty good(in my case)

Maybe an app like facebook

Yep even with 3G/4G.

Have you tried with a different game?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It does it with mostly 3D games, but it does it as well for a few 2D games like Drag Racing. I noticed that turning off auto-sync got rid of the lag for about 10 minutes. But then the framedrops would happen again.

Seems as though you have something running in the background.
You could try, is catch what is going on via logs (ddms may be helpful here since it has a built in log, but you can get them via adb as well) or adb shell commands, adb shell top for example. Trying and see what is going on when the lag spikes hit.
Alternatively, you can disable/uninstall apps that could possibly be the offenders. Facebook apps, twitter apps, messaging, email...perhaps even widgets. Then try and game until you figure out what the offender was.
This is assuming it is another app at fault.

Alright thanks for the advice! Won't be able to try it right now as I'm going on a vacation but as soon as I can I'll do it and report back.

(Q) Youtube app wifi lag

Hi
I noticed with Youtube app, when I watch HD video, I experience heavy lag when I'm on wifi, when I turn off wifi and use 4g the lag is gone, I switch back to wifi, the lag is there again.
When I switched to 4G, it's still on HD mode.
My 4G is around 8MB up 1MB down, wifi 15-20MB up 12-15 MB down, so it doesn't make any sense why I'm experiencing lag on wifi, but not on 4G.
I tried to check any setting on wifi, but I didn't see option that might limiting my wifi.
Anyone else having the same problem, any help?
Ps: The problem seems only happens with Youtube, I dont have this problem with Netflix nor Viki.
Thanks in advance.

I've been experiencing the same problem of late. It got so annoying, I stopped using the app and just run YouTube via Dolphin Browser.

Bump ...
No one else having this problem?

It's definitely something in the app itself, I can see the embedded YouTube HDin flipboard just fine, something about the wifi buffering setting in the app must be messed up, since slower 4G works better than faster wifi.

I just use the older black theme style YouTube app
