Music Playback problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm having horrible time with my s3 international version ever since I have upgraded to 4.1+. The issue is music player stutters while playing audio. It doesn't happen with video paybacks but only with music. It constantly stutters for a second or two like a broken cd or something. I can't believe a quad core processor can't handle background music playback! Can you please help? It's driving me crazy!

Did you hard reset after updating?

If using custom kernel then try changing governor... I prefer pegasusq... It happens mostly with the governors which take cpu into deep sleep very fast like zzmoove...
If you are using viper4android then also sane thing could solve that problem...
If not then there is a thread in general section or here only try searching that.. Many users have been experiencing this problem after updating to 4.3...

Latest stock 4.3 cures most sleep issues, although I never had that problem on 4.1

I am running stock 4.3 non rooted! Should I give it to Samsung? I can't understand how Samsung released such a bad software update!!

Any fix on this? I'm experiencing the same problems..
Resurrection Remix 10.0 and Toyota TNS510 System
Just a notice that this seems fixed for me now.
I've upgraded to the 4.0.4 Rom found here: Click!
Next to this i'm using the app "doubleTwist"
ICS talks a different language then gingerbread when it comes to A2DP, especially for the play/pause commands, which seem important to me..

Laggy pop-up play

When I use pop-up play with self captured vids it makes my phone lag quite a bit which renders the feature pretty useless imo. Why is this? And is it even normal?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Also, when I push the vid in the corner (so a little part isn't shown) the lag goes away completely. It doesn't get better when the part not shown is bigger. The behaviour isn't present at all when using the example vid. Also I'm on the stock LFB rom.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Ok it has something to do with the vid being 1080p otherwise it wont happen, but as only the slightest part of the vid has to be covered by the edge of the screen it shouldn't be a matter of processing power. It has to be some kind of bug. Can anyone else confirm this bug?

i dunno why yours lags but did you ever try this app i find it much better does the same thing with many more options including resizing

I don't really like that app. I prefer the stock one. Also, the video itself doesn't lag but my phone does while playing it. For example while swiping trough apps or homescreens. But only with 1080p as I said.

No lag here, currently writing this while watching a self captured 1080p vid, which rom/kernel are you on?

I really hope the jelly bean update will fix this.
i am running the i747 north american galaxy s3. I get almost the same symptoms. It will lag with any video, but if i put a little bit of the edge off screen then it stops lagging. I have tried the jellybean leaks and pop up play runs perfectly smooth so it seems like it is something to do with the vsync.

I don't think it is fixed in the latest release of Jelly Bean. Strange problem though.
no? do you have jellybean now???

[Q] audio stuttering/glitching

i listen to music all the time on my rooted s4. every half an hour or so, a song will stutter and then resume as normal. the audio doesn't stop, it just glitches. this happens in rocketplayer and spotify, and usually when the screen is off, though there doesn't seem to be much of a correlation between the screen state and this issue (as i have seen in others' posts about similar issues).
i have already attempted:
- overclocking with setcpu
- increasing the buffer size in rocketplayer
- regularly closing background processes
any ideas would be much appreciated.
What ROM are you running? Have you tried to duplicate the glitch with a different music app?

stock, just rooted 4.2.2, kernel is 3.4.0
the glitch happens in any app that plays music, not just rocket player or spotify.
This happens to me too sometimes when I'm using PowerAmp and I think it has to do with the Governor... on my old phone things would occasionally skip until I switch to using lulzactive but unless you have a kernel capable of supporting different Governors then it's probably something you'll have to live with. Unfortunately I'm in the same boat since I'm on ME7.

[Q] skipping sound when listening to music

hi. I've got an L9 recently, compared to many negative reviews I'm satisfied with it, but when I listen to music via earphones, music sometimes skips for less than a second, usually once or twice per song, then it goes on from where it stopped. I have tried it on stock and cm11 too. funny thing is I have no problem via speaker, not even when I play big games like GTASA. As I said it's not something I can't live with, I'm just curious if anyone else has this bug. I'm using Panasonic inear earphones btw, with no DSP manager etc enabled. I have also tried several players. thanks for any replies.

still nothing? I will try player pro tomorrow, it has cpu priority and very high buffer size settings, hopefully those will fix it. also when I greenified every app in its hibernation list the problem mostly disappeared.. maybe also should try performance governor when listening to music.
It's just so damn annoying that a mid-range phone with 1gb ram has this bug, I also read many people with Galaxy Nexus have problems like this, which has a very similar CPU.

[Q] Video playback and sound distortion [4.4.2]

Hello,
I'm having a problem with video playback. Whenever I pause the video or move the seek bar to any spot, the video will pause and play constantly even if it's already loaded until I replay the whole video all over again.
I'm also having an issue with the external speaker. Whenever I play music using the external speaker, the sound plays distorted even when no EQ's are active.
All of this started happening after I upgraded to 4.4.2 on Super Nexus. My question is, are these 4.4.2 issues in general? Or Super Nexus only. I'm willing to switch to another 4.4.2 rom but I'd like to find this out first.
Thanks in advance
