Hi guys, long time since i post here (since the HTC Diamond)
Anyway, my question goes to those who use the default music player.
I have been experiencing some weird problems.
Sometimes when i start playing music it will start skipping the track ahead by itself and jumping to the next track.
I couldnt identify the problem.
Other day i installed "3" player to see if it would do the same, and it did.
Worse than that, if i fired up the default player, even tho the 3 player was off it would start itself and play musics too at the same time.
My Desire is standard, no modifications.
Anyone here had any problem like this ?
I have had no such problems with the HTC music player, i use it all the time with the AUX port in my car,
are you sure you are not touching the screen by mistake? because i noticed when you lock the device, you can still change tracks without unlocking, double edged thingy, its useful when ur in a car, but not so much if its in ur pocket
I would suggest you to remove your memory card, format it with cardreader (NOT FAST) and then put it back to Desire and again format it from your phone and try again.
NOTE: YOU'LL LOSE EVERYTING ON YOUR MEMORY CARD.
I have 16GB which I use with my Desire and I have not seen the problem you talk about here. And yes, I listed to lot of music.
Ok, thanks for the feedback guys.
But here is what i found out so far.
Tested lots of options with Wifi/GPS/Data on/off and it doesnt seem to be coming from there.
Now the tricky part is with the headphone.
Sometimes when i insert the headphone Sennheiser CX line the phone shows the HEADSET icon on the tray and it is when the glitch with the music playback starts.
Sometimes i insert the headphone and it detects correctly but after a few mins the headphone icon turns into a headset icon and the problem with the musics skipping restart.
I checked the 3.5mm jack and it is not loose, and i insert it well each time.
I have tried to kill all open apps before doing the test run and the same result appears randomly.
I could not trim down the problem yet but i will let you know.
PS.
I will try the format thing after a few more tests.
Thanks again..

As you see its a headphone and it is recognized as headset....odd.
Caught the issue on video.

Maybe a 3.5mm jack problem ?
Need more testing...
I cannot reproduce the problem every time....arghhh
I have exactly the same problem albeit with Google listen and the stock music player. Its definitely the 3.5mm socket. I can reproduce the problem each time with the male to male lead I have for the car. I'd really value a solution!!
Please, can someone else confirm if you have problem with the 3.5mm jack ?
Hey just tested with stock earphones (should give same results to everyone by not using my "own" so to speak)
No problem what so ever over here.
BTW, I've used my own in-ear earlier and never noticed anything of what you are describing back then as well.
Maybe you should start a poll?
I use a Bluetooth headset at work because I do not want to damage the phone in my pocket so the phone is on my tool box and "3" Cubed music app will start up when default music player is playing?
thanks for the feedback guys, i hope to hear from more ppl because if this is specific to a few devices i might return mine and request a new one.
I have the same problem with "3" starting automatically too.
But i thought it was related to the 3.5mm jack.
Hey, I have the same problem, my girlfriend with the same phone, also has this problem. I have tried a few other music apps, and they all seem to have issues, including the fact the HTC music player starts playing music by itself on top of it.
I will try and format the sd card twice and report back
Okay, when I use the HTC Headset, I cant skip/change tracks with the headset buttons, also no Pause/Play ... pressing Play results in skipping to the next track ... today it even called suddenly one of my contacts :\
When I use normal earphones I've got absolutely NO problems
I believe the problem doesnt come from the musci application but from the headphone/headset connected to the 3.5mm jack.
For me, if any headphone is inserted and it is recognized as headset, the music applications will go bananas.
I will wait a few more replies and a few days before go to the stor and complain about the issue.
Its definitely something to do with the 3.5mm jack, as i've been playing music for a while on the loudspeaker as a test and it works perfectly...
Is there really noone else having issues with this?
I've had similar results occasionally, all when the headset jack gets jostled. I'm pretty sure it just has bad contacts sometimes. Sucks, but I don't consider it phone-return-worthy.
I have had exactly the same issue as you recorded and described.. after that I pulled out the headset and tried to put it back in, but the phone didn't even recognized the headset at all! I had to turn the phone off and on to get the headset recognized again.. But the issue with the music player going berserk was exactly the same with jumping from number to number, so you're not alone..

No problem with the 3.5mm jack here, but I've seen users at other forums complaining of this.
Problems with third party players seem widespread. A few times I've had Tunewiki start playing when pressing play on the stock player.
BINGO !!!
So, here is the link to this other thread.

I think this is the problem.
I have no idea what TRS is, but i am almost sure this is what is causing the issues with 3rd party headphones.
Can someone else check there and confirm that this could be the cause for the weird issue when the player go bananas and it identifies the headphone as a headset ?
I occasionally have these issues on the included stock HTC headset. It's true that TRS headphones may have inconsistent effectiveness in a TRRS jack, but it's not necessarily the sole cause of issues, at least.
Hi, I have pretty big problem, every time when i plug some speakers or heandphones into my desire music player starts to act wierd. It starts and stops songs randomly or keep to replaing just first second of the song, then angain randomly switch to another song and starts all over. But ONLY when any jack is plugget in. Almost crashed my car
Tested:
multiple reproductors
few handphones
even original HeadSet
Tryied these applications:
Meridian media player
HTC music
mixZing
ROM:
Officia Shipped Android 2.1
Considering apllying warranty. Device is 5 days old.
I did hard reset - no improvement.
It's not a warranty issue, it's a TRRS vs TRS issue.
Returning your phone won't help. Read to the bottom of the thread for some links to products that will help.
Sorry for duplicated thread havent found it before. Iam looking fot software way to set phone to ingnore those commands. I bet most people never use original handsfree provided in package.
I had: HTC Touch HD1 and HD2 both had the same handsfree TRRS connector NEVED had an issue. Why desire, why now ?! HTC G1, HTC legen - NO Problem
try to find headset blocker from roadkill in android market, it's a widget that ignores the signals from the headset.

My opinion is that the bluetooth audio quality on the HTC Desire is terrible!
When playing music, in most of the tracks I hear clicking/crackling noise when some frequency/dB/something else is reached.
To illustrate what I mean, I have uploaded an audio fragment in which you can hear a similar noise.
Download fragment (MP3) Warning! it's drum n bass
You can hear the sound at the very beginning and at around 6 seconds (and at the end). As if a tweeter (speaker for higher frequencies) get overloaded.
I don't know if it is related to the phone's hardware, (radio) firmware or the Android OS. I've tried different music players, radio firmwares and custom roms. I also enabled an equalizer for bt audio using DSPManager. Unfortunately, nothing helped
edit: Using current versions of DeFoST or OpenDesire (and maybe others), the bt sound quality is how it should be! Fixed for me, but I hope an update from HTC will do the same.
Btw, this crackling/clicking is not only related to the HTC Desire, I have heard it on more (non-android) phones that were connected to my bt audio setup (in car). Unfortunately I haven't been able to test other Android phones, but my old Nokia N82 and SE K800i always sounded clear.
My guess is that it's just a non-controllable system setting of Android to solve the problem, but I don't know where (config/settings files?) to search for BT audio settings.
Any ideas?
That's the typical audio quality of a mediocre A2DP device: give a try at a Sony Ericsson MW-600 headset, you'll see what an Hi-Fi Bluetooth device is.

I'm running Defrost rom now and the sound quality is perfect, how it should be! So, it's not related to the audio device, or the default settings/drivers of the Desire are "too good" for my audio device (Pioneer BT unit @ car audio), which I think is not the case, since I also had this noise on my Logitech Pure-Fi.

Actually I recently owned this headsert but the quality of the sound was still terrible. I thought it was a problem with the headset at first, but that is not the case. I returned it and bought a Jabra BT3030 and the problem still persists. Anyone know if this is actually a problem with the phone or is it software related? I can add that I don't hear these noises when streaming audio through e.g. the youtube app, only mp3 and it doesn't matter which player I use (I've tried loads).
I have the jabra dogtags, audio playback sounds exactly the same as when my headphones are plugged in direct (tested it several times, culd not tell the difference), except that I have a louder volume via the jabra, which is all good as I listen to drum and bass also. Mabey device fault?
It is software related. Using current DeFroST or OpenDesire roms (and maybe others), bluetooth audio is great

well if it would've been device fault you'd think that I'd hear that noise through youtube streams as well.
But yeah as tutti-frutti stated it might be a software issue, which points me towards a root. But since I'd rather not root atm, anyone knows any other solution?
Might try a hard reset first and hope for the best. I will get back to you on that .
Thank you so much for describing my problem!!
I am currently downloading OpenDesire. Just in case that it does not work, where do i find DeFost??? I can't find it on the Market.
Thanks again!
I have Samsung Epic 4g.
nope Desire's Bluetooth audio quality is good in fact Awesome..!!
-May be the problem is not with the phone, its with Bluetooth head set you are using.
-My suggestion is to use Nokia or Motorola A2DP Stereo head phones
-I'm using Motorola motorkr S9 hd ,,,its awesome..!!
-Try this ,,it might work

For me, it is an issue with my car, not headphones.
A little UP!
Having the same issues with a Nokia BH-504 headset. Music quality is poor with every Sense ROM (original, rooted, Sense HD, whatever), sound like the tweeters are overloaded.
Definetly not a problem with the headset, it sound perfect with HTC Legend.
Tried to switch to non-Sense ROM (DeFrost, OpenDesire, etc.). The quality is perfect, but music play stops every 1-2 minutes for a second. Very irritating. Anyone experienced this? Is this a problem with my Desire, should I send it for warranty? (Don't want to send without enough evidence, don't wanna be without a phone for weeks...)
Okay, update: Tested the new Gingerbread AOSP and still having these stops at 2-3 minutes. Very strange...
Anyone any idea? Can I debug the bluetooth transfer somehow? Logcat didn't really show anything... Can it be a fault of the phone?

You need an sd r/w-buffer fix in kernel to stop that. I don't know if it comes with any senseless rom though. Maybe you could try the lite version of baadnewz hd rom.

Thanks, I'll look into it. But if that's the problem, it would affect music playback with wired headphones too, isn't it?
And with Sense ROMs I have the overloaded tweeter-like problem, but no stutters. With non-Sense ROMs I have beautiful audio quality but music stops for a second randomly.
Update: Checked Aura ROM with sdfix, no problem with stuttering, but still the overloaded high-frequency problem. Meanwhile I checked that this SD fix is available only for Sense ROMs because it's HTC's hacking, the AOSP versions have no SD problems.
Oh, good lord! I was nearly to believe that I'm some sort of audiophile!
I'm using Plantronics 903 with my Desire and sound quality is just OK (I'm using SENSE ROM, will try OpenDesire in a bit). However, I cannot say I was expecting more.
What funny is happened today: I paired my 903 with PC today - sound quality was nearly same like my Desire, then I noticed someting in Bluetooth Setting Panel of PC. There was a combo box which labeled as "Audio Quality" and it was at the "Low" setting. I switched it "High Quality" and reconnected the device and voila! The sound has been thousands of times better!
Now I'm wondering if such a switch is also available in Desire? Maybe not obvious, but a Kernel variable perhaps? Damn that I don't know a sh** about programming these devices :'(
EDIT : Funny - I think that setting was not of PC's, but Headset's! It's quite well right now! And I didn't even try OpenDesire yet!

I have similar sound issues on non-sense roms. I believe it's mostly to do with range is just not quite as good as with sense based roms. I haven't had time to really figure out why yet.
Okay, so they replaced my Nokia BH-504 headset with a new one, still the same issue with Desire Sense ROMs but Legend Sense is still good. So it's not an issue with the headset (well, could be a general incompatibility problem, but I don't think so) Will check my laptop and a Gingerbread ROM on the Desire. Okay, conclusion after further tests with the replaced headset:
with Desire Sense ROMs: horrible quality in the high frequencies with every MP3.
with Desire non-Sense ROMs (OpenDesire, Gingerbred, etc): Good quality, but music play stops for a secons every 1-2 minutes.
with HP TouchSmart TM2 notebook: Quality problem AND music sutter BOTH
with HTC Legend original Froyo ROM: No problem
with Sony Ericsson X8: No problem
with HTC Touch HD: Quality problem
The headset has been replaced with a new one, same errors occur.
I have no idea what's wrong. I can't believe 2 phone's and a notebook's Bluetooth chip is faulty. So this could be an incompatiblity, hooray for great Bluetooth standard specification I should try a Nokia BH-905 and a Sennheiser MM400, will try them after buy (in the store!) and hand them immediately back if there will be a problem with them
Chapell, I have the same problem as you, with the Nokia BH-504 headset. So far the headset works great with the stock ROM, LeeDroid ROMs or just about any Froyo ROM. Gingerbread-based ROMs or Cyanogen nightlies, or any of the AdamG's Oxygen ROMS, on the other hand, they all have the same issue - every 90 seconds or so there is a glitch, the audio stream skips for half a second or so - very, very annoying keeps you from getting in the mood.
My observations: it is not SD card related, youtube video with the audio part streamd through the bluetooth headset also skips (also tried an SD read-ahead zip patch - no change); also, the glitch doesn't manifest using wired headphones; it has nothing to do with CPU spikes (the music player and the BT connection were the only open applications after a fresh ROM install); it has nothing to do with WiFi being on or off; it has nothing to do with 3G/2G network being active or not, or the GPS; using a different radio also doesn't help (scenario - radio X used with N.S.A. ROM -> no glitch; the same radio used with Oxygen 2.0 RC7 -> glitch)...
My guess - as noobish as it may be - is that this issue is related to some kind of buffering in the streaming process - I compared a few bluetooth configuration files in various ROMs, but couldn't figure any setting related to buffering or such.
If anyone could help, I would be very grateful!
Thanks for the info. If I understand correctly, you had no problems with BH-504 using Sense ROMs. So no high frequency distortion, nothing. This means that my phone is definetly faulty
However it seems the non-Sense skips are not unique for me. Strange, no one uses a BT headset with non-Sense ROMs or it could be a problem only with the BH-504?
Is anyone else having a problem with streaming audio from the HTC desire HD to their car head unit via bluetooth?
I've just tried it for the first time (only bought the phone a few days ago) and it plays for a few seconds and then goes really choppy/stutters to the point where you just can't bear it anymore.
I've always had it working perfectly with my other HTC phone (windows mobile HTC kaiser).
Other than that I love the phone but playing audio from it in the car is one of my main uses for it.
I tried this too, but it works without any problems. I am streaming audio to my VW Passat with the RNS510 navigation system.
Grtz Remko
Weird, last night when I tried it - very choppy.
Tried it today no problems at all now
Ahhh no , thought i'd cracked it but I didn't
Spent 20 mins outside today just in the car with the engine running and no problems.
Took a quick trip out to the supermarket and it started to stutter again several times on the way there but did rectify itself eventully, same trip back home and no stutter.
I had no difference in settings at any of the times i tested.
DHD and BT audio streaming to car radioreceiver
Hello,
Sorry to dig out so old thread but I can't find an answer. The other thread about similiar issue is for Inspire and I didn't want to mix up devices.
Anyway. Recently I've bought Pioneer DEH-4400BT.
Well when I make a phone call everything is ok. However when I stream multimedia (youtube, mp3, internet radio or whatever) I can hear audio skips. Those breaks are very short, like a second more or less. And it happens random. Once in a minute, sometimes more frequently, sometimes less.
I'm using DHD with ARHD 6.3.1.
I tried couple of devices with my car audio: Samsung Omnia (WM6), Xperia Mini Pro (Android 2.3.4 stock rom) and Desire S (not sure what Android version but stock rom for sure). The problem didn't occure with those phones.
To make things more complicated I tried HTC BH M300 bt earphone with my DHD and the problem didn't occure either.
So it seems the problem only exists between my car audio and phone but I have no idea why it can be.
Did anyone had a similiar problem with this rom?
Are there any things I could try before trying newer versions of Mike's rom?
Or even reverting to a stock rom?
Regards
Nard
Anyone else having bluetooth issues?
Got my one x after returning a galaxy note after upgrading. All is good on the phone apart from when i listen to music via bluetooth to my external speaker it stutters and crackles all the time. Tried various fixes- different music app,turning beats off,different album,different music format. My old desire played through the speaker with no issues. Even tried turning wifi off to see if that fixed it and its even worse. Someone please help before i go mad.
Regards
The same thing happens with my hox too. I was driving a car today with Bluetooth connectivity on radio and listened some music, and sound started to crackle and break after half a minute. Tried changing tracks, pausing, soft reset and killing all apps, but the same thing all over again.
That's so frustrating, seems like every day I find another bug on my hox. Can't wait to see what's coming next...

There are already topics on this issue through wired headphones and bluetooth headphones and others have said that the issue is seen on other models as well
Is it just a htc one range issue then? When i had the note for a week there were no issues and in the two years i had my desire i had no issues too.
It all plays fine through my Nokia BH-214 Bluetooth adaptor so could it just be compatibility issues with certain stuff?

you should change the topic to say that it's about bluetooth problems, and also search to make sure it's the only one. that would be great.
if you're on a locked phone (network lock) and still on 1.26 (anything thats not 1.28 or higher) that might be the problem, there were some issues with some beats profiles so they removed all but 3 now.
apart from that not sure.
