I got a new m8 a few days ago and naturally I threw some music on it. No SD card. I get a bug where randomly my seek bar will indicated hours and be stuck. I can still seek on it but it won't move. This happens in every music player I tried (stock, Google, shuttle, poweramp) and I can't find a solution. No root no nothing phone is brand new. Could it be that a corrupted song was doing this? Please help it's annoying.
I believe it is just a 5.0.1 bug. Might be just specific to 5.0.1 on our M8s. Not sure if this is only non lollisense or if it occurs on GPE as well... all I know is that it is a known bug. Hasn't really bothered me much. What bothers me are the momentary slow loading I have in Play Music. Some times the pause button or next/previous buttons are unresponsive for like 10 seconds. THAT is super annoying.

I have EXACTLY the same issue!! I have had my M8 since launch last March, but this bug reared its ugly head when i updated to lollipop the other week. I find it very annoying too!! I have also created a post on this issue today. I've tried clearing cache memory etc but nothing has fixed it permanently.
for a temporary fix i find that if i run clean master it clears the bug, but it comes back later that day.
if you do manage to solve, please can you let me know too.
Same issue
I have the exact same issue too.
Htc One M8 unlocked version, no root, no nothing.
It happens with all music players too (even soundcloud).
So I don't think it's related to a music file.
It only happened after I updated to Android 5.0.
It's so annoying. If anyone knows a fix please share it!
I have this issue too i've tested Viper ,Maximus Insert Coin and even on Sky Dragon and i always have this bug. However the bug usually occures on .mp3 song not .m4a
i have another problem. sometimes when i want to play music it wont and i need to reset the cache of the music player or restart my phone befor it works again. I am stock rom and not unlocked or rooted. Until now i experienced this bug only under google play music, cause i love the design of it too much to change to another
So this issue is present on ALL Lollipop roms?! Can someone port over the music player from KitKat or something?
If you are S-Off, you can flash the H/K - Boomsound switcher. Choosing H/K fixes it. And it sounds better than Boomsound IMO.
You can also flash it if you are S-On and pick H/K, but you won't be able to flash the H/K ADSP. It should still fix the issue though.
So after further using the phone I don't get this bug when I have NUplayer checked in dev options. But that makes my phone register audio on all the time and it drains my juice so I use awesomeplayer and ignore the bug

I also have this problem. I want to uninstall this bullcrap but can't. Well I know I can but I don't want to go that route yet.
Also, have you experienced your songs missing from your playlists when using the other music player? I was soooo mad. It takes soo much time just to go thru and organize it. IDK WTH happened to it. The playlists are still there but no songs!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

yeah now that you mentioned it, songs are missing on the playlist as well...not sure if its an issue with google music or the phone. i hope someone else can respond with a solution!
This happens to me every time. I am about to go back to 4.0.4 if they do not fix this quick.
It only started with the Jelly Bean update.
Hi all,
I've read threads about this for different phones, but didn't see any for this one (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
But, my phone- stock T-Mobile S3- will randomly cut out and stop playing my music when I'm using Google Music.
I tried one of the solutions in a thread, where they advised to turn the volume down... that didn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling... updating Google Music, etc. That didn't work either. The problem still occurs. I downloaded an album from Google Music onto my internal storage and it still skips even on that, so to me that tells me it's not a streaming or Internet issue.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I'd prefer to not have to root, but I'm open to the idea somewhere down the line.
Regards,
-Proxin
It still crashes frequently. Not much you can do about it. Need to wait for Google to fix it.

Thanks for the response- I'm relieved to hear at least I'm not the only one with the issue. Hopefully they'll have an update soon.
Hi all,
First time poster so please go easy on me..
Basically since the lollipop update (stock unbranded HTC M8) my stock HTC music player app has developed a rather annoying bug which involves the music song displaying its length completely wrong (please see attached pics). This causes the track to skip and jump to another track completely. It is very annoying!
It is not just with the HTC Music app either, I use a podcast app and the problem is also persists on that app too.
I have cleared caches, deleted and re-installed the podcast app. I don't know what to do apart from factory resetting the device hoping that will fix it.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading
Andy

Another one here with exactly the same problem. Unrooted, stock UK M8. Only happened since OTA update to Lollipop. Also noticed this (or very similar) issue appears to sometimes affect my Pocket Casts podcast app as well. The only time I've ever seen anything like this in the past was an old MP3 player I had that displayed incorrect times if music was encoded with variable bit rate. However all the music I have on my M8 is fixed bit rate so it's not that...
Does no one have any idea yet why this is happening or any suggestions for a fix? I've found that clearing the cache under Settings > Apps > All > Music can sometimes fix the issue temporarily. Soon comes back again though.
Ok this seems to have resolved it on my phone for now:
- Eject SD card (all my music is stored on SD)
- Go to Settings > Apps > All > Music > Clear Cache
- Go to Settings > Apps > All > Music Enhancer > Clear Cache
- Reinsert SD card
- Fully reboot phone by holding Power + Vol Up for 10 seconds
I'm still seeing a few isolated little glitches with some song times but they seem to be resolving themselves after a few goes, and the majority are currently displaying correctly.
Regarding the podcast side (using Pocket Casts app), I think I may have fixed this incidentally a few days ago when I moved my podcasts from using phone storage to SD. Taking this into account, it looks to be some kind of database corruption after the Lollipop upgrade, hopefully all ok after letting the phone rebuild its relevant media databases from scratch (I suspect a full factory reset would also fix it.) I wonder if the update included some kind of change to the MP3 decoding codec used which somehow misinterpreted the cached time info?
Same issue .. and lot of issues since lollipop
I did exactly like you said .. but I still get the same annoying bug .. and also there are many bugs after lollipop . like if you cleared recent apps and soundcloud was one , you see soundcloud's notification in the top left , when you slide it down , you see the latest song you have been playing , and it is frozen you can not clear it . and when you touch it , it opens again soundcloud .. you cannot fully close the app .. only if you did that in running Apps and force stop it .. EVEYTIME .. is that normal ? please help . and is it also possible to get back to Android kitkat ?!
I too have a similar issue... When playing, if I pause the song or audio book and exit the app, when reopening it forces the song or book to reset back to the beginning. Before it would resume from the place it was paused at.
Any ideas?
Audio messed up by lollipop

Does it play the full song inspite of showing the wrong length, or even the song's messed up ? A hard reset helps sometimes
Same problem here. Audios received by whatsapp have the same problem sometimes. I reverted to kitkat and the problem is gone, upgraded again to lollipop and problem is back. My music is on internal storage. Poweramp do not have this problem.
Hi,
I had same issue, it turned out that it appeared after turning off Nuplayer option in dev settings. When I turn it on again, as for now (2 days), works as expected.

i will try turning it back on to see if problem persists here.
EDIT:Turning nuplayer back on solved the problem. thanks.
I'll give that a try too. I can't remember why we turned off NuPlayer in the first place, but isn't there some other issue?
Guys the problem is caused by enabling dev options then turning it off
Just head into bev options and enable Nuplayer.it worked for me
Turning nuplayer on helps but than Messenger lags very often. Any solutions about that?
Thanks, turning on NuPlayer worked for me too !
Has anyone noticed their music skipping? Poweramp/stock player. Its getting annoying as my g3 does it too. Is it an android problem or a phone issue? My phone is the h815; no root/bootloader is locked.
Update: I have emailed lg support and will hopefully get it dealt with. If its a phone fault I will just switch it for something else. This problem has persisted since the g3 and is just plain frustrating.
New update: I investigated my microsd card and have found there is a problem with it. When i transfer items from and to the card i get an io eror under Windows. I put my music onto a 64GB card and now the skipping appears to have disappeared. I was using a 128GB lexar card. I suppose the skipping could be from where the os cant read the file properly. It was doing it every minute or so.

FWIW, since lollipop I've had random music glitches when playing over bluetooth. This goes back to my HTC M8 as well. 4.4.4 no issues.... lollipop, random skipping/distortion. Usually most noticeable when the screen turns off/locks

Thanks for the response, I guess I'll just have to hope that the software developers find a way to deal with the issue. I'm glad its not tied to just lg.

I use Dogcatcher for podcasts during my commute. I have noticed the audio dropouts with Wifidirect/Miracast as well. This seems to happen multiple times per minute. As stated, 4.4.4 had no issues on my prior SGS4.

As I use Bluetooth streaming from my LG G4 everytime I get in the car, this problem really annoyed me. Like you, I had tried many different settings without luck. I noticed these issues mostly in Doggcatcher and Spotify, but also heard drops in waze and maps. My issue was due to the location settings.
In location settings, I disabled wifi and only enabled GPS. I also use quite a bit of Tasker and leave the screen dimmed while connected to Bluetooth as the mirracast that I hacked into my car won't display with the screen off.
The other setting that may help is set in a program called carhome ultra, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.carhome which is a great car dashboard app. The setting will slow the GPS update rate. My phone is stock and unrooted.
I hope this fix works for you. If you have any questions, reply to this thread.
Hello XDA,
I have reviewed everything that is out there on the internet and have not been able to resolve my issue.
I have LG G3 Rogers version, unlocked, never rooted. It used to work fine before. I started noticing my Youtube videos from the app stopped playing giving an error message (Error code is different every time) Youtube videos from the browser play but without sound, Instagram videos/live streams/stories (anything that has sound; IG videos with no sound when posted by the user works fine) stopped playing, spotify wouldn't play music but the timer of the track would keep going. This is with headphones, without headphones. Doesn't matter. Then when I restart my phone, the issue is completely fixed, for some time until it starts again. The way I know it will mess up is my pattern unlock sound goes out first. Then my lock sound and eventually certain key taps are not recognized. But again, when I restart the phone, everything is fine. I use Action Launcher 3, I've tried without it. I have factory reset my phone and I am running Marshmallow.
Any ideas? Much appreciated.
Thank you.

If you have been using it for more than three years in a row, The android version wears out... (gets old)...
you might have to check for system updates or (in rare cases (or) you cannot tolerate kinda case) you can flash another rom on your LG G3.
Android ROMs give you a better battery life (which also eventually wears out after three years of usage) and better performance...
Hello,
I got a new battery about 6 months ago so not so worried about that part. Is there any to troubleshoot and deduce what could be causing this issue?
Hello,
Quick update: I have not had any issues with the phone for about 2-3 days now. I had pattern unlock set on my device with rain dew drops as the dots. Since I've removed the dew drops, this issues has stopped. Currently I have knock code set on as screen lock. I will now try pattern unlock again, but with basic dots only to see if this occurs again. Keep you posted.
