Hello!
I've experienced this problem before:
when I add some mp3 files to a memory card (using usb card reader), Audio Manager finds songs just fine, however once I click on any of the songs from libriary, after 5 seconds of doing nothing I see a white screen with list of running programs to chose to kill. I have to remove memory card out of the phone and then chose and close audio manager (twice) in order to bring phone to life. Otherwise I have to reboot it.
Before I was suspecting mp3s, maybe they were broken, but today, when this happened, I removed all newly added mp3s and left these that were before but this problem stayed.
Last time I had this problem I had to reformat memory card, no matter what I added on it Audio Manager would freeze whole phone...
Anyone knows why this happening?
Thank you.
Hey, i've only ever noticed this when i've got lots of other stuff open and Audiomanager cant handle the MP3 aswell, or when i'm trying to play 320kbps mp3's.
Yes, that would make sence - not enough free ram, however in my case, this happens even after reboot and last time with 128kbps files...
Hello all. I have a quick Q. I have taken some videos on my phone of my daughter at a festival, and me and my wife at a party. They were playing fine. Then I installed the HTC streaming cab, and tried some other fixes for getting youtube to play, and then HTC Diamond Album cab (which doesn't work anyways and I uninstalled it.)
Now when I load a video it won't play. WMP just shows up, then closes after about 3 seconds. Why is this? Its probably a codec, but I don't know about phone codecs.
BTW I'm running the new CRC rom Windows 6.1.
Hi guys, I did a search and I can't find anything on this, if it's already been answered I do apologize. I've got a kenwood stereo in my car that connects to the phone and streams music over bluetooth. I've used this on my last 2 phones (Samsung Epic, and HTC EVO) with no problems. Now with the Galaxy SII, i can't stream music. It will connect and do voice calls no problem, but when i try to play music, it just skips through every song on the list and then freezes. The only time it worked was the first time I connected it to my stereo. Has anyone else had this problem? Since I use Google Music, all of my music is streamed and I have to do it through bluetooth, this has become quite a pain!
i'm on a clarion CZ 509 no problem streaming from my phone to the car
it does it automatically as soon as the car is in the phone range
which some times is kinda annoying, when you don't want it to auto stream
Yeah, mine will connect automatically and phone calls and dialing work with no issues. It's just streaming music. I'm going to try and delete my phone from the deck and re-connect it, hopefully that works. I'm trying to avoid having to replace my phone or do a hard reset.
my deck can save up to 5 phones pairing
so i just assigned a new profile to the SGS2 when i got it
the other ones registered are my old I9000, XT720 and Nexus S
there is another trick you can use
in the phone in the BT profile after pairing, hold the profile for 2 sec, it will pop up a sub menu, in which you can choose both option or only 1 of them
in which case it's BT audio, or BT phone
so play around with that and see
another thing which i don't know if your deck allows you to do is to Pair the phone as a Media device, or Phone device
so in my deck can can pair the phone to be only as a phone device, or only as a media device, or both
I tried messing around with those options, however it either disconnects the phone completely (unchecking the phone box) or just plays the music through the phone (unchecking the media box). I tried streaming another song through the stock music app, and that worked, so I think it may be google music itself. I had downloaded the ICS version, so now i'm trying to downgrade back to current. I'll have to check to see if works later, as now it won't connect to my account to grab all of my music. Thanks for the replies though, I'll keep this updated incase anyone else has the same issues.
now that you mention it, that might be it
the DRM license thing kicking in
i just found that was causing some random crash on my phone as well, removed music 4.0 and installed another music player, now everything is back to normal
i use jukefox to play music, it automatically creates everything that is necessary, like albums, auto get the missing album covers, etc, etc...
1 button does it all
then you just pick or randomly choose what you want to hear, easy music browsing for when you are driving
Yeah it's definitely a google music issue on my phone. The stock player works fine, but that doesn't help me, I keep all of my music uploaded to the google cloud, and have no way to access it right now. Even with the regular current apk I am having issues. I'll have to wait and see if they can update it for this drm issue I think. For now I'll just use the current stock player and fill up my sd card and play off of that
that's what i do
i play it off my SD card
get a 32 GB or 64 GB and you'll have plenty of space to load all your favourite albums
i keep several copies of 32 GB for different albums / movies
So just a followup to this, I did a hard reset today on my phone and it still doesn't help. Turns out, it only does this when connected through bluetooth, and it's a song that's been "made available offline". If i'm actually streaming a song, there are no issues, but any of my playlists or albums that are saved won't play through bluetooth (they will play normally however). Hopefully this can be fixed in an update through Google Music.
So, i've had this issue as well and it appears to be something to do with "shuffle".
At first I disconnected bluetooth and then started playing the music on my phone and made sure to turn ON shuffle..I then turned bluetooth back on in my radio and once it connected...all was well. I didn't like this solution and decided I needed to find an alternative.
I then downloaded the MIUI music app (which has always been my favorite) and the music streaming is working normally now
Was this an issue that you experienced with the google music beta app, or just the standard music player that came with the phone? Mine has only had issues on the music beta app, and it didn't matter if i had shuffle on or not. I've been using the standard music app that came installed on the phone and have had no issues since. On another note, does anyone know if you can see album art through bluetooth? I'm able to get song , artist, and album info, but I've never seen album art come through yet. I'm not sure if this is something bluetooth can handle or not.
Stock app. I just installed music beta and it seems to work fine like miui music
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I take that back, music "beta" just did it to me too. Back to miui

Dear All,
Following symptoms can be observed on my brand new OneX:
Music and video files are being played in 'slow-motion' when file is started for a random period (from several seconds to the full lenght of tune/movie) then it comes back to correct speed. This happens only when the internal speaker is used, while it doesn't occure at all with headphones plugged in. Furthermore, when track goes with correct pace on headphones, it changes to the wrong one (slow) when these are disconnected, and opposite happens when I plug them back.
Tried multiple times using standard Music player (on all audio files that came uploaded on the phone), it happens on video files streamed from youtube by either dedicated Youtube app or a web browser (standard - Webkit i guess) , happens with an on-line radio app (TuneIn Radio) that comes preloaded on the phone...
Please also note:
-AFAIK: phone's software is updated to the most recent version available (OTA).
-Phone is NOT rooted nor any potentially harmful software was never run on it.
-I tried (twice already) with factory reset, also clearing all storage data (so there is no preloaded music and pictures anymore...) - no improvements at all.
-Rooting it at this stage is out of concern - as I'm afraid I'll have to cope with some repleacement/repair procedure(s)
Did anyone came across similar issue?
Any bit of advice would be highly apprecieated!
Apologies for such an excessive post.
No issue at all with music playback, tested with Official Rom 1.29.401.7, bootloader unlocked & CWM Recovery.
I can't test with video, since I switched yesterday to ARHD.
Hello there.
So I have a bit of an issue with my chromecast audio.. I bought the thing 2 days ago and I have to say it sounds pretty damn good but the only problem is that when I try to cast music from phone the music all freezes or some sort of error comes up..
1. With Google play music: error cannot cast please upload to music manager..
I have done this and I rebooted everything but the issue persists.. Kinda stupid in the first place that you need to upload music to music manager on pc before you can cast on phone..
2. I tried using a different music player (pulsar music player)
When I try to cast music from there the whole app freezes for a bit and after a minute or so it shows that the music is playing but there's no audio coming out of the speakers
This is really frustrating for me because I just want to play music from my phone instead of turning on my pc every time just to play some music..
And yes the wires are connected properly from the chromecast to the speaker's and the apps say that it is connected to the chromecast..
My phone is a Moto X style with a custom rom on it (don't know if having a custom rom is causing the issues)
Any help would be appreciated
Try configuring in the Google Home app. If that doesn't work get BubbleUPNP from Google Play. It will play literally anything from anywhere (G Drive, Tidal, Local) to any device (Chromecast, CC Audio, Google Home, or any DLNA device).
