i have been experiencing random pauses while listening to music.
it can be with any app (stock player, google play, tunein, winamp and deezer) and at random times.
i experienced this with my old htc dhd but headset blocker fixed it on that.
i dont think it the headphones socket as this has happened when my phone was sat on the kitchen worktop while i was cooking.
i have tried many roms also but im currently back to stock but rooted (although it still does it when it was unrooted as well).
i have done some reseach into this and have tried a couple of things like uninstalling google listen.
if anybody has any other solutions it would be very grateful as i ride my bike to work and stopping to play music every couple of minutes is really annoying.
...I have the same issue mahall1988, and can sympathise with you as I also ride to work and when you have to keep restarting the music player, it can get......erm, :angel: somewhat annoying !
....anyone with any fixes out there?

I still have this issue no matter what the rom.
Is the phone receiving a message or some other notification? I've found mine does it when I get notifications.

I think what mahall1988 & I suffers from (well me for sure anyway) is a permanent pause state, not just a temporary one that occurs whilst the phone receives a notification and then restarts.
...keep the suggestions coming though

I was wondering if there is an app that can tell me what is using any services for sound
I can think of three things:
a) your phone audio jack/connector is dirty. You said you think this is not the case, but this happens way to often to be dismissed just because the phone was on your kitchen table when it happened. Try cleaning it out, (for example, follow this tutorial: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Clean-a-18-3.5mm-Headphone-Jack/ ).
b) your phone is extremely short on memory. Maybe caused by an app that you use on all your tryouts? If your phone suffers from this, Android sometimes kills even the apps it shoudn't.
c) an app causes the media to pause... this is easy to rule out - install a fresh copy of any ROM and don't install any of your apps.
Just my $.02.
you probally have the motion setting on to mute sounds when phone is turned over if its in your pocket it will. i turn it off if going out while got music on. when you get a call and turn it over it silences the ring stupidly it does the same when listening to music.

I too have the same problem (not as severe as you guys) but it does pause for no apparent reason, this started after Winamp update. I thought it is a problem with Winamp, I need to try a different media player before concluding anything.

Ruddy annoying ain't it.!
Like you say try another player and hopefully this will solve it for you
Unfortunately the pause issue occurs for me across multiple players Inc tune in radio. I also have motion control and voice commands disabled. Now installed a dual boot siyah kernel so I can run a clean cm10 rom install on second time to see if it is an app or at least narrow the possible culprit down. Will report back on this thread with any findings that may help others?
AW: music randomly pausing
Same problem here -> stock player pauses without any reason. Turned off the mute motion function but problem still persists.
I had this for a long time. Have not seen it since I got 4.1.2. (with Poweramp)

...glad 4.1.2 solved the issue for you
I experienced the issue from ICS all way up to 4.1.2 (including 4.1.2) on the Stock ROM for International I19300. I then rooted and changed to NeatROM to see if that solved anything, that did not solve, so I changed Kernel to Siyah, that also did not solve.
I then installed a clean CM10.1 on the 2nd ROM of Dual Boot Siyah Kernel and that DID solve the issue. I installed only Poweramp andran it for over 4 hours today and not experienced a single pause. Booted back into 1st ROM and pause occurred within 5 mins!
Now all I have to do is figure out is the cause of the pauses due to a certain app?........should be fun !

Maybe we find it out faster if we all (who have the problem) post a list of installed apps.

.... should not take too long to narrow it down
EDIT: Froze all the above apps using Titanium Backup, was all hopeful after I got one hour pause free use......then is paused and paused again several times after
There MUST be a reason why some of use suffer from this, just need to suss out what the heck it is !
This might sound crazy but try cleaning out the headphone socket!

I have tried that using a contact cleaner spray on a jack plus got the air compressor on it, but that also failed to clear the fault for me, but may help others
I see where you are coming from - a particle may be shorting out the contact points, causing the phone to believe a headphone remote has requested player to pause music. But the problem does Not occur on my second ROM running CM10.1 with only power amp installed extra to default apps.

Did anybody else notice a bug in SE Music app on newest Gingerbread Rom? For me, when playing music, tracks are often interrupted by a strange electronic noise.
BTW I'm using "WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread". Did anybody has similar problems
and does this bug also appears in stock gingerbread rom or is it due to using a custom rom? I would be thankful for any answers.
Best regards.
me too
i have this problem too in WB 2.3.3 ROM
a lot of lags in audio player
I'm on wb hotfix 4 and ubermusic, and have no problems at all
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
i think the music player is really buggy... apart from the static noises between tracks, after unlocking from lock screen the track skips. Theres no shuffle/ repeat options at all, and wma files doesnt show up.
I was about to post the same thing. Other than her has anybody found a mp3 that does not skip.

This is Sony Ericsson Music App right? Not Stock Android Music player.
Stupid "Like" button for Facebook.
Only good thing is "infinite" button, which shows youtube videos of artist... but havent found out when i should use it..... because if i'm listening and interpret i most time know which songs he has....
Some1 know how to uninstall this music ab and how to install... was is music 3 from stock android ?
Well true and there is lag in music playing when using applications. Feels like slow processor or what.

Yeah, I`ve same problem, when using that stock music player(which has that widget). It`s really annoying, like stopping music playing for 0,5 sec and then continuing, that really sux :/ I hope there`ll be some fix for it...

Best combination I have found so far! Also on hotfix 4 and ubermusic gives me the least amount of trouble for playing music. Still skips when turning screen on but it is much more tolerable overall!
Yes guys, seems to be an issue with 2.3.3. Wolf is working on a new ROM (as the rooted ones are based on an indian firmware of X10 - but apparently the ROM from GB doesn't have this issue).
Please check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16278495&postcount=1904
Is not related to SD Card, nor to hardware (as it worked ok with 2.1 no stuttering ever) as far as I can tell.
Since Monday I'm on 005 but still the same probs with the stock player. Now 2 days later, I've considerably fewer drops. Didnt install any add apk's. very strange ?!?
by the way ;did anyone test mp3 with different bit rates ?
I've tested 128 kbps (same issues) and vbr 192-320 kbps (same issues).
I connected to my car's hands free and still had the same issues.
I connected to an A2DP music gateway and it didn't hiccup when rotating but messed up when turning the screen back on/off.
Someone said that the UK GB version doesn't have this problem. Wolf also mentions this (I think he's going to use the pre-rooted UK version for 006). Right now Wolf's rom is based on the pre-rooted India version.
Is anyone running EWJet? That one is based on the UK version and it would be interesting to know if that one is having audio issues.
I also have similar issue its too much lagy.
And also when i open some mp3 file from file manager it plays the other.
there are too many problems with this default music player from sony.
And also i can't use next/previous button of my mw600 with this player.
Mediascape was much much better then this.
Please i want mediascpe back on 2.3.3. Help me out.
I'm now on 006 , and the problems are back . I dont believe that it is an 2.3.3 specific problem. As I wrote before , on the old version the noises were gone after 2 days.
Well, a kind of a survey, anyway. I'd like to know what are your favourite apps in any category! I'll collect the stuff you write and put it in the 1st post, to make it easy for new users (like me) to find out what the greatest apps are! Please, when you mention an app, do mention the reasons you like it, too, and maybe even a link to it (keep it legal)!
Okay, so, I'll suggest some categories to begin with.
What is the audio/music player of your choice? The stock one can't be the best one, it doesn't even have an equalizer.
What is the video player of your choice? I've noticed that the stock one is quite lousy, as it barely plays the videos recorded on phone without lag. I'd like to watch TV shows on my MB526 (since I commute every day, so I hate wasting 45mins on the bus doing nothing) and I'd like that to be a joyful activity.
What is the navigation app of your choice? NDrive? iGo? Standard Google Maps? Which one has the best maps for your area and which one gives your location most precisely?
What is the most interesting app you've come across? Candle? Lighter? There's gotta be something more interesting than this?
What is the app you use most frequently on your defy(+)?
Can you think of any more categories? And apps that fall into them? Post, post, post!
*When I say stock I mean my MotoBlur Android 2.3.4. system (I am intending to load something else soon...)*

Well I do use the stock one (blurmusic from atrix) and I don't feel the need of using another one. I has nice interface, acceptable widget and lockscreen controls.. It has some equalizer (media audio effects), and it can be used with some 3d party equalizer app like "Equalizer" app
Using the stock one or MoboPlayer. Didn't notice any problem with MoboPlayer so don't need to search for another one, but I heard that the Mobo Video Player is a good one.
I don't use much navigation, but when I need some guide I use google, but it's navigation is a little bit buggy when it comes to calculate the route.
Hmm, don't know, when I first hear about Widgetlocker it was wery interesting for long time, same was with MiLocker..transparent screen is interesting app..no use to me but it's interesting, it's cool
Hmm.. Zumocast, Viber, Music Player, TuneIn radio, Tapatalk...there are much more..oh yes zedge

On my firmware, stock music player = CMP (Connected Music Player). It's not really bad, but it can be a lot better. Which ROM does have the BlurMusic player from Atrix?
Thanks for the reply, neighbor
Cheers!
I use PlayerPro for music, BSplayer for video, sygic for navigation (also precache on brut maps - even better)
Most interesting app is GTA3 ofc.
I most use : Timetable, BW, Golauncher, Palmary Weather Pro, Dolphin HD and Root Explorer.

How playable is GTA3 now? I kinda don't want to play it without music (radio), cause that's what's the GTA series was all about for me... Driving around and listening to the radio stations My favourite is Vice City, it had the best stations! Enough of the off topic now
Can you tell me why do you prefer Dolphin HD over other browsers? I am gonna test it anyway, but wanted to know your opinion.
Sygic does look nice... Can you tell me more about Brut Maps, too? I've never heard of that before, but I see that it's some kind of a mod of Google Maps?
Best video players :
1st is Vital player, 2nd mvideo player
Best music player :
Google music player is awesome..
Best launcher :
Go launcher (go sms, go contacts), and ofcourse SPB may be the best.
Best weather widget :
Beweather pro
Best dictionary :
Colordict

I didn't like the CMP either, the MS2Ginger rom has the Atrix player, it has it somewhere attached.

Brut maps is mod for Google Maps that enables navigation in rest of the world (it was just for USA until brut came out)
Gta3 is playable only if you use Gta settings launcher and low everything. (also on xda like brut maps)
Vice city map could probably be available for gta 3 cause gta 3 for android is the same version as PC version.
I prefer Dolphin and Opera cause they have some addons to turn on flash content if you're on 3g...also they have many excellent addons.
All of that is available on this forum
music player: TTpod
Video player: Mx Video Player
Navigation: just Google Maps
most interesting app: I just love Dropbox
TTpod seems interesting, I've checked it out on the market! Will test it one of the next days..!
Okay, I've done some testing already and would like to share my opinion. It's about launchers.
SPB Shell 3D - I don't like it. It's quite boring and not practical. It's slower than others, too. Yeah, the 3D switching of home screens is very nice but there's nothing more to this launcher.
GoLauncher EX - This one's great! I love how everything can be configured and set up the way one prefers! A lot of effects makes it VERY interesting. What I really hate about is that it comes with 3 or 4 more apps! I HATE that! I don't want GO Shop or any GO Widget... Is there a clean install of this launcher awailable?
ADW Launcher EX - I think it's the fastest one, or at least it seems so on my stock 2.3.4 (defy+)! It's simple and effective, that's why I like. The problem is I couldnt find settings/options!! Can this one be configured at all?

You can easily hide the apps that you prefer not to see in the App Drawer of Go Launcher EX

I did so, but the thought that they are there and that they are occupying my phone's resources for no good reason bothers me a lot! That's why I deleted GoLauncher and am now back to stock (BlurHome?) Will test more of them, though!
Have you guys got some favourite "keyboard" apps? And Messaging apps?
i use SwiftKey x keyboard

Hey guys I've been using player pro on my Android devices pretty much since release but It's getting to the point that I would like to see what else is out there. I've heard power amp getting kicked around these forums a lot so what's its like does it live up to the hype and if you have used both which is better?
Regards,
Mark

there is a free trial for poweramp , worth a test
Really I thought it was just a purchased app thanks: )

Power amp all the way, the best graphic equalizer out there, with pre-amp as well
Poweramp all the way.
Functionality is superb .
Only gripe is album art, 99% of them have art on Windows media but only about half come up correct the rest just pick randomly.

I never tried Player Pro..
All I can share here, I tried default google player, default music player from samsung galaxy s3, and also jetAudio plus, no one can beat PowerAmp, for me..
I purchased the license, and never regret that..
U should try the trial version..
I'd pay at least double again to keep using power amp.
Power Amp for me, as it has the ability to keep the screen alive. So when I'm driving, i can glance at the handset in the cradle and see what's happening.
I like PowerAmp and I think it's the superior player overall, but I use PlayerPro for one particular reason - You can set it to only list your music by Album Artist in the library, rather than Artist, which is great if you have mixtapes and compilations.

Doesn't really matter when you can use folder view instead of library view does it?

playerpro has got a nice damn ui
playerpro +ics skin + dsp pack >>>>> Poweramp > Apollo > Stock > Others
poweramp 4 T W use it since i got my first droid!
Poweramp is an extremely well build music machine and uses its own build-in amp. + skins..
Playerpro has an easy UI and got an external dsp manager(dl. via market) * skins
Both perform very well and its a matter of taste.
Neutron is another music player(maybe the best) but very clumsy UI and hard to set up,because its has so many options..
My favorite is poweramp

I use Mortplayer!!! it has great options!!
Poweramp has the ability to read my mind...just has an awesome shuffle! just wish it worked like it use to for me. since flashing all these JB roms, dlg4 dlh4 dlh8 & li1now, all my playlist i create keep getting erased-or all the songs in the playlist are removed from the lists. very frustrating. have been searching xda for days. have no fc or issues otherwise with PA.
Hi!
I have a question about these two players and also Winamp Pro. I was using MortPlayer till now, but now it's time to change my player. I tried Winamp Pro, it's great but sometimes I find it slow when browsing folders (I have a 32 GB SD card full of music). SQ is great.
But the most important thing that I want to know is which of those uses the least resources (CPU and RAM)? I have Xperia X10i with ****ty stock gingerbread (2.3.3) (is not rooted) and I have problems with twitching, which is just going on my nerves.
Thanks
I like poweramp and I bought it a while back, though I seem to prefer a more clean/basic player. I think I like Google Play Music as a music player.

with power amp you can select different buffer sizes which should stop skipping(I presume that is what you meant by twitching?!)
I tend to go between the two. I prefer poweramp but player pro is very good - I might well go back to playepro for a bit.

Yes. Sorry, I'm not a native english speaker so I'm using google translator very often My music skips when I have less than 100 MB free RAM, and sometimes it skips all the time, but mostly on screen lock/unlock. I'm currently playing with PowerAmp and I think that I will use it as my main music app. I set the priority to highest and enlarged buffer size so no skipping for now. I will try it for a few days and probably buy it.

The sound in Pro Player is a little bit strange, while listening on my hi-fi. I gave up from Winamp Pro because I get force close very often. And PowerAmp seems to use less RAM (28MB) instead of WinampPro (34MB). But one question; poweramp doesn't have exit, so when I stop the music and "exit" from player, it's still in running apps taking 18MB !??? Is it possible to exit power amp so it's not anymore in running aps? I don't want my player to run in background while I don't use it!
EDIT: double fail! I came from Google and didn't see that this topic is for Samsung. Fail 2: I forget to turn on DSP in Player Pro. I think I will use it for now. Thanks!
Hi everybody,
I will be receiving my truesmart this week and like many others, I want to use it for outdoor sports with bluetooth headphones (biking for me )
What is the best music player app that can be used with the omate truesmart? Basically, I need it to work with the small screens and it needs to support playlists. My favorite for my phone is playerpro. Does anyone know how that app works with the truesmart?
Thanks for your help :good:
Try Fusion. It has playlist support and gives you Shoutcast support as well.

There are several free ones that work well:
-Apollo (CM music player)
-Google Play Music
-Google Music Player (try the old versions like 3.0 or 2.0)
-MX Player
By far my favorite, though it is paid, is AMP Player.
In the end, doesnt matter much, as the built in speaker sucks and bluetooth connections fail halfway though each song. Hope BT connectivity gets fixed now that Loki and Omate have access to the Mediatek source code
I just spent a nice 3 hours driving with my TrueSmart feeding KCRW Eclectic24 through to my car audio system via Bluetooth using TuneIn Radio Pro and my 5gig T-Mobile sim. The only cut-outs were due to gaps now and then in the T-Mobile network. The Bluetooth connection never failed once.

PlayerPro is my Truesmart default music player. It works fine :good: .
I received my Truesmart yesterday (yay!) and have tested out both the player pro and fusion music player (Thanks Lokifish-that is a great player and I had never tried it). Here are my results:
Player Pro: Music player works great, but there is no menu button on the truesmart or in the playerpro UI. The menu button is needed to pull in the playlists I brought in from my phone.
Fusion Music Player. When I installed this on my phone, it auto-loaded the playlists I had made in playerpro. When I installed Fusion on the Truesmart, it could not find the playlists.
Has anybody had success with pulling playlists from their phone into their truesmart with any music players (especially if it is one of the two mentioned above)? Also, has anyone learned if it is possible to remap the truesmart buttons so that they can pull up a menu similar to the standard button on almost every android phone? Omate should have included a menu button-this was a poor oversight on their part.
Menu in Player Pro (and other apps)
Hard swipe from the left margin of the phone brings up menus often for me (apparently including in Player Pro).

You are correct-that works perfectly
Edit: Playlists worked fine once they were in the right place, and after installing the Ensec enhanced security the bluetooth seems to be working great!
Thanks to all the developers working on getting this product functional. I'm a noob and my only experience with this stuff was playing around with the HP touchpad.
I tried Google Play Music but on the first startup you have to choose a google account which is not possible because of the low screen density. Is there any workaround for that?

Yes, you have to root, install xposed framework and change dpi for that specific app to lower than 120 with "app manager" module. 90 dpi works fine for most of these resolution problems.

Received my TS yesterday. It is the 1GB EU version. Could you link me to the correct root instructions page for that model? Wasn't sure about rooting because it looked as if the model ins't supported so far?
My gear s won't control my music on the slim echoerom...
If anyone knows the specific apk to get it working that would be great.

Mine worked with google play music for a while then stopped, haven't looked to see if a restart will fix.

I started using a custom rom and I'm guessing that's what's broke it. Pretty depressing cause I like to change my music from my wrist....
I'm gonna have a look through the full rom and see if I can hazard a guess at the app that's missing
There's a new app that controls music playing on the phone and it has 4 different methods if one doesn't work.. It's called Musiccontrol on my watch
I can't play music on my phone either try reset still no luck it worked twice when I first used it but now nothing

I returned the watch. ...
Worked out the there is an app which crashes. It happened the 2nd I used titanium backup to uninstall some apps so I'm assuming something I was uninstalling was breaking that feature.
Just my advice
Feel like an idiot but i just discovered the toggle between the gear music player & phone music control.. The app i mentioned works too, but no need for it obviously
Did anyone hear of a fix for this?
My Gear S Music Player worked a few times, but will no longer control media on my Galaxy S5...
I installed the Ultimate Music Control app and that seems to work... (but no longer have a working widget)
Fixed my Gear S music controller problem
i had the same problem for days. Its a problem with the widget. Just go to the actual place where all the apps are (swipe up) and scroll down to the music player and tap it. I guess it just kind of restarts the widget because as soon as I tapped the app the music started playing again and the widget refreshed with the album artwork. Got my Google Play music working again too. Hope this helps.
still works, just hidden
I may be late to the game, but I just got a Gear S today. It took me a while (and a few apps) before I figured out that the Media Player on the Gear S has a second remote function. It can be accessed by pressing the 3 vertical dots on the bottom right of the display...if you don't see it (or the controls, just tap the screen).After pressing the dots, a menu will pop up with Mobile Device and Gear choices. Choosing Mobile Device puts the Gear into remote control mode for music on the phone (works great with Pandora, but no album art or like/dislike functions), while choosing Gear gives control of music on the watch.
holy cow! I even bought this app called beatObox for this purpose... wth, my Gear S supports this all along... Gear S Mustic Player (as a controller) works with PowerAmp it just doesn't display the album art.
Ultimate fix for the stock music control apk all you do is tap 3dots on right top side, click mobile device, tap screen 3 times or so, tap play periodicly until music plays and skips and boom there you go. Works with any player, just no artwork...
