Music Playback issues

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.

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.

HTC One X unable to switch from earbuds to speakers, please help!

Hello,
When I boot my phone without my earbuds plugged in, the speakers of my phone are working fine. But I don't hear sound from my earbuds when they are plugged in.
When I boot my phone with my earbuds plugged in, my eadbuds are working fine. But when i take them out, my speakers aren't working. (both the speaker on the back and the speaker for calls)
I've searched google and this forum for solutions and both didnt work.
(I checked if my volumes were muted. but they were not.)
I'm using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696
Things I've tried:
- Wipe Dalvik cache and cache and update to the latest version.(08-11-12) Problem still exists
- Complete wipe of my data/cache/dalvik cache. flashed boot.img and installed rom again. Problem still exists.
- Different kinds of headsets. ALL of them give the same problem.
- Different kinds of apps for playing audio. All give the same problem. (Even the phone app)
Anyone got any ideas? I'm new to this so please be noob friendly.
Thanks

Forgot to mention: I use Hboot 0.43

Something is probably screwed up in system and I don't see it wiped from your list. Try factory resetting from cwm recovery AND format /system in cwm mounts and storage. Then flash cm10 nightly. Since none of the above will wipe boot partition, you may choose to not flashing boot. Img. However I would from your pc using
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then reboot.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately this did not work. The same problem still persists. Could it be that my hboot version is causing the problem?

Don't think so. But... Check your PM in 5
Did you try it with a different ROM to see if you have the same problem?

I tried installing another rom. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784185)
This has not changed anyting. I also found out that when someone calls me (When I have booted with eadbuds plugged in) I can hear the other person speaking through my earbuds. But when I put the call on speaker (Earbuds still plugged in) the sound does go over the speakers. But when I unplug my earbuds and try calling over the ear speaker I hear nothing.
I also forgot to mention that this problem occured randomly. I did not make any changes to my phone, or installed any new software/apps before it happened. From what I can remember I was listening to some music over my earbuds, and when I got called i plugged out my earbuds and tried to answer the call. From that moment the problem exists.
Also, when my earbuds are not plugged in (and i booted with them plugged in) and i plug them in, my music starts playing. When i dont have them plugged in, start playing music and plug them in my music stops playing. And when i'm listening to music over my earbuds and take them out my music won't stop playing like it's supposed to but it keeps on playing (even though i dont hear any sound from my speakers)

Try an ics rom please. Not a jb.

Tried installing an ICS rom. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601408) This unfortunately didn't fix it.

Try reversing what caused the issue?
Long shot but could work.
So by the sounds of it this would be.
Play music through speaker,
Call yourself.
Plug the headphones in and answer.
Then restart the phone or whatever and let us know?
Hope this works

Too bad didn't work. Also tried playing music through headphones,
call self
Plug out headphones and answer.
No sound :\

Okay it just got even weirder.. I found out that when i plug in my earbuds halfway, the phone opens the google thing where you can speak what you want to search.. When i plug them in normally it does'nt. And now when i dont listen to music over my earbuds and i change the phone volume, I hear the preview beep over both the speaker and my earbuds. I Really dont get what got into my phone

Bump, Still didnt fix it. When i boot with earphones plugged in, and take them out all sounds work, but music and phone calls only give sound over earphones. So this means nothing is physically broken. You guys got any more ideas? Installed Hboot 1.39 and Blade V4.0 rom. Didnt change anything

Bump

So I had something similar with my previous phone, Palm Pre; plugging in headphones caused intermittent speaker/headphone issues that was very inconsistent as well as triggering apps when half-in/out. In my case it was a physical issue, the jack had some pocket lint in it. I removed the fluff from a Q-tip, dipped the naked tip into isopropyl alcohol and cleaned out the jack. Other Pre users also mentioned that one of the contacts on the side-wall of inner part of the jack is "button like" in that it is pressed when the headphone pin enters the jack. When fluff builds up, the pin can force crap behind the contact and prevent it from being pressed properly.
Swabbing out the jack helped once or twice, but ultimately I gave up on using the headphones. Now that I'm jaded about it, I really wish the One X had a cover.

Thanks for the reply, but I dont think it's a physical issue, Since my ringtone still plays when i'm getting called (after booting with earbuds plugged in) and i can still call over the back speaker. Just not the front speaker. The issue is only there with media/music and calls. But how is it a software issue if updating my radio, changing my rom, and updating my hboot wont work

Bump, Anyone got any ideas? this is really annoying, having to reboot my phone every time i want to listen to some music and every time i want to make a phone call :\

Headphone Sensitivity Problem

Over the past several days I have encountered a serious problem whenever I try to use headphones with my Mi 6. When I have a headphone plugged into the audio USB dongle and attempt to play music, at the slightest vibration, tracks will start and stop playing, tracks will change, the volume will shift, and the microphone will activate. This has made it almost impossible to listen to music with the phone anymore. I have tested this with two headsets, which both cause the effect, though it does not happen if I do not have a headset plugged in. Because I have had this phone since soon after it was released, my guess is this problem was caused by a recent MIUI (I'm on 10 8.10.11 Beta) update. It kept occurring even after I installed Blackplayer and tried using that instead.

It sounds more like a hardware problem to me, dirty or loose connections

I tried cleaning everything as best as I could, but to no avail. Does anyone else have any experience with this problem, or is there a way I could disable the phone from accepting input from the USB port so that my headphones will be usable?

Sound issues with 3,5mm headset on usb c (adapted), electrical crack on (un)plug then

Hi
just set up the device and all went fine, trying youtube music for the first time.
after some seconds the music disappeared with crackle sound through ehadset on highest volume.
unplugging and replugging the 3,5mm headset through adapter that came with device on usb c there was an electrical crack sound in the headset when un- and replugging.
closing the app and relaunching worked for a short time then sound disappeared on one ear. same crack in ears on (un)plugging.
second headset no difference, but then it works without any issues when using headset volume just one step below max volume.
so this is a known issue on that device, software thing or hardware thing?
evreything else is fine, should we cross check built in speaker on highest volume for crackles to chekc the hardware or do headset through usb c and built in speaker run throught two different output stage/amplifier circuits?
thx for any help

Yea this is happening. There is another thread here also talking about it. It drives me crazy... Seems to be software related (hope so), as some people said installing another rom solves the issue. I also noticed (at least until now) that the problem seems to involve instagram, everytime I had this issue, I checked and instagram was opened on background. I don't remember having the issue when I close instagram beforr plugging the headphone. Not sure about the relation though, still needs to test more.
I will install xiaomi.eu rom soon to test if this happens there also.
Btw, what miui version are you running?

Whatsapp aswell is a big issue. Some people said replacing the typec/jack adaptor works.. but i dont have another one for the moment to test.

ah, just saw the other thread, 2 sites already
so at least no hardware issue, at least not the device, maybe the adapter
thought about buying bluetooth or usb headset anyway as i think even if only some grams the 3,5 on the adapter always tears a little bit on the cord/usb c plug over weeks/months/years and might affect the port
after a restart and reinstalling youtube music i could not reproduce it anymore
have been listening half an hour music without any issues and had a phone call another 25 minutes with headset without sound issues
running global version with
global 10.2.9.0 PFBEUXM
while PFBEUXM should stand for eu anyway?
is there a way to flash another official rom without rooting/unlocking the device and loosing warranty?
thx

Headphone music playback unplugs/replugs over and over

Hey anyone have any audio issues on this phone or possibly another MIUI device? Here's what I'm getting:
Usually, I plug in my headphones and right away I get great volume and my player auto-plays. But as it keeps playing the music pauses for a second and then resumes automatically. The headphones icon disappears in the notification area for that time when the music stops. I thought it may be Poweramp's issue but the same thing happens in the default MIUI Music app. (Playing MP3s from SD card - haven't tried streaming apps yet.)
If I unplug and replug the headphones from the audio jack, the same thing happens still. But after I unplug and replug a bunch of times, eventually the music suddenly starts playing at about half the volume it was initially, and the problem no longer occurs! To clarify, the volume is still set to 100% but the actual output volume is only half as loud as it was initially when the problem occurs.
There's no MIUI audio settings I can find that could be responsible for this.. Any ideas??

This happened to me too, the problem is in outdated headphones jack. Try a few other ones, the newer versions of the handsfree will fit accordingly.

Interesting. Just to clarify, you're saying that the device I'm plugging into my phone (headphones) is the problem, right? It would make sense why other speakers I've plugged in haven't had this issue.. I wonder why it'd be happening since I've never run into this issue with any other phone and I've had these headphones for many years now.

Yes the device is fault. When you plug in the jack, the headphone icon starts blinking right? it goes on and off and keeps on until you force it to play some song.. I had been using my favorite headphones for 1.5 years and i had to buy new ones when i bought this phone because they wont work properly.
