Since I've gotten Pie update on this device (10.0.1.0 and up) whenever I make a playlist the phone just deletes it without any warning or anything lol. I've had this issue on Black Player, Phonograph, Retro Music, Play Music etc. basically all music apps I've used. Does anyone experience the same issues as I do? If so does anyone have a fix for that? The phone deletes even the automatically created playlists like Recently Added, Recently Played etc. I didn't have this issue on Oreo and now I am on Pie January, locked bootloader with no mods. Thanks in advance!

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

I take that back, music "beta" just did it to me too. Back to miui

i've noticed that since updating to jellybean my google play music only works for a couple songs then stops playing. the doesn't force close and i can scroll around but nothing plays. today my maps kept force closing for no reason, anyone else seeing these issues? my phone is fully stock and unrooted.
This happened to me, too for the Play music -exactly like you describe. I'm sorry I don't know anything about how or why - but just letting you know you're not alone. I was also stock and unrooted at the time. I haven't tried it since so I don't know if anything I've done since then would make a difference. Would like to give the streaming a chance in the future, but it freezing is a worry for me if I'm going to spend money.
I just switched to a different player and haven't had the same issues. Were you streaming or playing from sd card ? I was playing from the sd card and I have wondered if this was part of the problem (just providing information in case it helps someone else).
i was streaming. i know if i restart my phone it works again for a few songs then stops.
i tried doing a factory reset on my phone in hopes that maybe something got corrupt during the update. it did not help. i think i figured out the maps problem. having the satellite layer on seems to be what kept causing maps to crash. i've never had this problem before though.
i decided to try using the play music widget instead of the app. it's been playing for 6 or 7 songs now, where as when i've used the app it would stop playing after 4-5 songs. so hopefully if i continue to use the widget instead i won't have any more problems.
well my play music is back to not working after a few songs even going through the widget.
Since the last update, google music player will just stop playing. i will be in the middle of an album (local) and it just will stop playing. It wont change songs or albums. It just goes dead until it decides to work again...any1 else having this issue?
I have seen this and I believe I have read other reports of it as well. It started after the last update. I have rolled back to the previous version.

I'm having the same issue. Thought it was just a conflict with the custom Rom I'm using. But I hear people are having the same issues on stock Jellybean too. So it has to just be the app.
They really need to fix this, I'm having the same issue. Music just stops out of the blue and doesn't want to start back.
same issue here.. I've been using Pandora until the next update.. I may just roll mine back if they take to long to get this issue fixed..
Same issue!

Google Music stops after three songs
I'm using Google Music for streaming. It stops after three songs and won't work again until I reboot. I'm using the Odex Blue Rom, latest version 1.7. I deleted the application from the system using Root Explorer and then downloaded it as an app. It still stops. I agree it must be the application as Pandora will play and not stop. It's a real pain because now I have to move my songs down to the S3 and find another player. So much for the cloud!
****SOLUTION****
DOWNLOADED old Google Play Music and it works. Deleted the version I have on my S3 (the latest version from the Google Play store). Googled "Google Music Player apk" and found a 4.1 version. Downloaded the 4.1 apk and installed. It worked. Played for over one hour with no stops from the Google cloud. Then I went back to Google Play Store and said download the latest version. But all I wanted to do is check the box that says don't automatically update and then I closed the install. I don't know how to get it not to automatically update any other way.
I've been having this issue also, sort of. I lose sound when playing music from rocket player or music player, song time counter keeps moving but no sound. Just out of curiosity are you guys having problems with other players or just Google streaming? I had this issue even before 4.1.2.
The problem:
My M8 is having difficulty playing music with sound. When I try to play music on the phone, the song will play. However, there will be no sound coming out from the speakers.
What I tried already:
I tried using a different music player. I downloaded Shuttle+ and tried to play, but I keep getting the same issue. Sometimes, when I reboot the phone, the stock music app works properly, but after the currently playing song is done, it would again play but not produce sound. If I go to the Shuttle app and play a song while the song plays with no sound on the stock music app, the Shuttle app works fine. But then after the song is done on Shuttle, I have to switch to the stock music app for sound to come out properly.
I remember how Google limited SD card functionality (my music was on my sd card). So I transferred the songs onto the phone storage, but I still have the issue. Then I figured that the issue might be my mp3 files. I deleted them all to try to isolate the problem. I tried playing song from the Google Play Music app and it appears to be working fine. This morning, the google play music also exhibiting the same problem. So even Spotify is having the problem. The music will load and the slider will move to indicate the song is playing, but again no sound. I tried deleting the data of all the music apps I have and they still do not work properly.
I have xposed modules installed so I disabled all of them and restarted the phone, but the problem persists.
Also, the boomsound speakers are functioning properly. Youtube videos and regular video files play with sound. I only appear to be having problems with music.
Phone modification:
This is probably really important to figuring out what the issue is. My phone is rooted and S-off. I have xposed installed with the following modules: forced immersive mode, greenify, keepchat, nfciconremover, snapshare, unicon, youtube adaway.
Other than that, the phone is stock.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Solution
I performed a factory reset and started all over to isolate what modification caused this music bug.
Turns out, it was flashing the Tethering mod located here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708548
If you are currently experiencing this problem, go back to pure stock OR simply flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2731893
Now, if you still want tethering, install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715671.
I can confirm that installing that will give you tethering and not break music functionality!

I no longer have the M8, but I had the exact same issue. I also thought that it had something to do with storing my music to the SD Card via Google Play Music.
I would back up, flash a Rom and see if that fixes it. I'm guessing it will work fine and it's just something happened from xposed.

I randomly started to get this issue where, when I play music, lock and unlock my phone, it'll start to repeatedly crash until I stop playing music. So the cause has to do with the little music display that shows up on the lockscreen when you play music. It'll load into a different looking screen with the same lockscreen background, and not the Album background, and then it'll crash, and it'll just repeat this until I stop the music. Is there a way to disable the music display? I use Doubletwist as my music player. I haven't rooted or tampered with any of the firmware on this device (yet). I have fully updated its firmware, however.
Please let me know if anyone needs extra information to help solve this problem. Thanks in advance!
Edit: This only seems to happen when the track doesn't have any album artwork.
