Hey all,
I'm very happy with my Jamin but i've loaded up some MP3's to listen to at work and i'm noticing a 'stuttering' that is occuring during playback.
I thought it was my old SD card, so I bought a new fast (120x) one - no change though.
It is the SD card though, if I copy over an MP3 to device memory the stuttering doesn't occur.
It does the same thing with WMP10, TCPMP, Mortplayer - including using pre-buffer, but still does the same thing - stutters for about a second.
I can't find anyone having the same problem here, but there has been a problem posted on the imate site (no solution of course)
Anyone had this and found a work around? it's _really_ irritating.
Thanks,
Craig.

im having problems with my 1G SD memory card. I have mp3s and movies on there and when i enter it into my XDAII and play it while using another program (ie file explorer), my music/movie lags and skips. What's the problem? is it because my device is dirty? or a bad card? it was running smoothly before when i first bought it. But now its doing this when i play music.
help please
i had the same problem once
i solved it by removing journalbar which took
too much cpu while running so the xda2 got audio issues
try removing your today items one by one and see
also using the program
www.GB-SOFT.cz/XDAII
and setting audio streaming prioity up also helps alot
thank you sooo much it worked.
Hi. O2 swapped out my 2s for a 2i. I've got a MMC card with some MP3s on used to play fine in WMP9 on the 2s however... on the 2i the song cuts out randomly and crashes WMP10 until I take the card out and put it back in or do a soft reset. Also my friend with another 2i has the same problem playing video files from storage card it hangs in random places... Anyone else experienced this?
Cheers
I have similar issues though I find its if I actually have something running/playing from the storage card and have to use the phone...
so its just another crappy bug then? Text messages or the phone ringing also kill WMP on mine aswell...
I've had problems with SD card on my XDA 2i.
It keeps freezing up when programs are run from storage card, or playing music or video from storage card.
Anyone else come across this? And is there a solution to it?
Is anyone able to shed some ight on this problem?
I cannot fit much else on the built in memory after installing tom tom navigation software and maps. Installing it to the memory card causes the program to freeze after a few minutes, and i have to reset.
Please help.
I'm not experiencing this.
I woul not run programs from the SD. Just store the maps there. I'm using Tom Tom too - installed in main memory and maps on SD.
Hi, I had a similar problem with my II when running TomTom, with the maps on the sd card. Changed the make of the card and all now well. Seemed as if the card was not compatable with the XDA.
I have previously posted a problem that I encountered with MP10 - it looses the storage data card.
I reported this to HTC Support Europe and this is their reply:
"Regarding your issue with Media Player not reading mp3's from a storage card, I have spoken to Dan about it and we are aware of this issue, and it will be fixed in the first ROM update we release. Our technical team are working on it at present, however we do not have a release date as of yet."
What amazes me is that they are aware of all the problems on the TyTn and similar brands and yet they continue to sell them!
The TyTN brand will be launched in South Africa soon for the first time. Boy will they blow it if the device is problematic!
Thanks Pof for directing me to a temporary fix.
Does anyone else have the bug/problem where if they try to assign buttons it doesn't work properly? Instead of what you'd expect, pressing the button goes to the program as if you were in the today screen!

I have been looking into this for about 3 weeks and I am now 95% sure it is because the storage card is full when WMPlayer tries to write its DRM / Metadata to the card. It is still a bug but the way to workaround it is to leave some space on the card, i.e. don't fill it full of music. I am trialling WMplayer 11 Beta on the PC and it has an option to leave some space free when syncing. Seems to be working fine. If like me, this 'feature' is one of the most frustrating things about the device then I hope this helps
Media player has a bug
Thanks Daryan, I'll try your advice. But as you can see HTC admit this is a software failure, and yet the company continues to sell the product!
Otherwise I find the device fine(above average)
The new Media Player 11 is fantastic. I have not found any glitches yet.
WMP Fix
Temp fix until new ROM is to delete MSMETDATA folder on storage card and then run Update Library in WMP on your Tytn.
thanks for the fix
I had switched to pocketmusic because WM10 could never find my storage card. I deleted the folder as mentioned in the previous post as all works well now. Thank you. Anxiously waiting for an updated ROM. Loving my tytn - although I get the annoying screen alignment issue now and then too.

Does the error not keep coming back? It did with my device. I have to admit that since the posting above I have since had the error so the workaround is not good at all. Do you guys sync with WMPlayer to get your music onto the device?
I have had this error twice. Its a bit annoying but only take a sec to delete the folder adn everything is ok again.
I don't sync my music I just add directly to the microsd card with my card reader as it is much faster than using activesync
When I upgrade my O2 IIs to Win Mobile 6 of Helmi, I cannot watch wmv. files. They are played very slowly and are interupted many times. How can I solve this problem. Welcome and thank you for any advice.
me too, any solution?
video problems
Having video problems too.
TCPMP needs to start in portrait orientation otherwise video only plays in full screen mode.... quite annoying.
Playing certain games causes screen to lock while game starts with music in background.... had same problem with latest xplod kitchen, had to then revert to helmis wm5 ROM.
Did you try to play the video from main memory? I tried it with a .wma file and it plays ok from RAM but stutters when on SD Card. Maybe there is a driver problem with the SD Card that it is too slow?
Throught Wifi I usualy use Media Player to see TV channels (mms://195.245.176....) and the sound and image is OK no problem at all.
Also throught Activesync Sound and image is OK!!
I do not think that is a SD driver issue because with Audio Manager we can ear sound OK from SD source.
So I think that the problem is in the way WMP reads information from the SD card.
I confirm that one MP3 file played in SD card has sound problems (speed on playing in the begining, then stabilizes), the same file copied to the BA memory works great!!
With WMA files the situation is the same, some speed problems at the begining then stabilizes, from BA memory no problem!
PROBLEM DETECTED!!
Other thing i notice is that when running full screen the image does not rotate to landscape.
Does xplode and helmi agree with this?

same problem here.i tryed AUDIO MANAGER(read in other thread,that it works smooth) but i dont get it to run( certificate problem or missing part..thing).could someone help me figure out the RIGHT files and correct installation guide?
at least i figured it out.read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327190
When playing music I often get small breaks during MP3 playback. Half a second of silence or something like that at random times about 5 minutes apart.
It does not matter what player software I use. This problem is also very common among the HTC Diamond users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412065 .
Do you have the same problem? I bet you do .
strange, ive been using my phone everyday as an mp3 player and i havent heard it skip even once.
Does it lag with every song, or are there specific songs where it lags. Are there any that absolutely never lag? Also what kind of headset do you use for listening?
edit> Also, what ROM are you using?
It is not really a skip, it is just a very short pause. You would not notice it in noisy environment. I tried 320bps, 192 bps, 128bps. Everything the same, lower bps are little bit better. It also helped if I set playback priority to higher (in MortPlayer or CorePlayer), but it did not solve it.
It seems like some higher priority process tries to do something and at that point sound lags.
It does not matter if I use headset or play on speaker.
I have this ROM:
ROM version: 1.40.401.2 (21259)
Radio: 0.27.30.09
Protocol version: 12.27.30.09W
strange very strange, i use my jade about 2h a day as mp3 player and i never have that kind of problem..
i generally use the default player... try with that a tell us it works...
ciao
I have the same problem.. But only when i'm using my bluetooth A2DP headset. Seems to get worse when i "move" my phone quickly, like when i'm running or riding a bike and the phone is in my pocket. I also experience random speedsups after the music skips, like the media player is trying to catch up or something..
I use a bluetooth headset too, and no problems, even when ive got several things running at the same time. Maybe its a ROM problem. I can imagine it being real annoying but its not something all of us have so i would just try to get it fixed or get a new one.
btw my ROM is version 1.40.401.2(21259)
Same problem here!
Please write to HTC about this problem. If they tell you they do not know about this problem, they would LIE, because I did tell them .
I found a way around this: Use Windows Media Player only for playing MP3 files. WMP is a pain, but it works.

Hi
Is music stored on Micro SD card? If yes try storing on internal memory, if OK playing from onboard memory then suggest reformating card. I had performance issues with card when using apps that continually transfering data from card, would get "lag", but browsing card etc. was fine. Formatted as FAT32 in windows using USB card reader and then all OK.
Hey fenikso!
I'm sorry, but I never discovered a problem as per description. Not tested A2DP yet. I always store my music files on sd card, I think like the most of us. Runs perfectly.
I`ve formatted my sd card as the FAT ( not FAT32 ) system. Maybe your solution of the problem?
Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Bump-ti-bump.
Still experiencing this problem. Haven't upgraded to the lastest official rom for the Jade, will try that and see how it goes. With a wired headset, the problem doesn't present itself, so i guess that rules out the micro-sd card inside the phone.
do have exactly the same problem, but reversed. while i was using bluetooth headset, never experienced audio lag. Then BT headset died, bought PortaPro, and here we are... contacted HTC support, told them about, they want me to do hard reset and stuff... when i pointed them to this forum, as this problem seems to be related to many new HTC models, and they did not contacted me since then.
So i listen to music with gaps...
