Music and Video player "skips" - Vibrant General

For some reason my music and video players "skip". It's not really skipping, just kinda pausing for a millisecond, like there isn't enough memory to run it. I know there is, so why is it doing this?
Anyone else with this issue?

i have not noticed this. Are you using the stock players?

It does it weather I use the stock players or cubed or act 1. Doesn't matter which player, it still seems to happen anyway...

yup same thing happens to mine...im going to do a factory reset and then transfer my music album by album (as appose to dumping all albums at once) and if it continues I'm exchanging my Vibe for another at the t-mobile store.....but if anyone had any info plz let me know...is there a fix?...

I've noticed this on occasion as well but wasn't sure if they were just bad mp3s.

Yeah, if it's happening on 3 different apps, that is very odd.
Curious, on an app like neocore, what was your fps?

Anyone else experience this? this is kind of a bigy for me

Okay, I've determined that it's an app causing it. I uninstalled everything but 3 or 4 apps and the problem has ceased. I'll have to reinstall them one at a time to determine which was causing it, but when I do I'll let you know.

When you do, will you pm me? Would love to add it to the sticky to prevent others from having an issue.
Why the need for so many players?

I was just experimenting with Cubed, I like the stock player just fine, and act 1 plays more formats and has more options than the stock video player, been using that since my G1.
Anyway, I uninstalled everything but compass, txtpad lite and xda and the problem appears to have ceased. I've now reinstalled HTC ime mod but haven't tested the player yet.

The stock video player has played everything for me so far... pretty impressed.
Have you tried RockPlayer?

noticed the skip issue when i installed the music mod from the N1 CM5 build. made things really buggy and it 'skipped' a lot. not sure if it was related to the random freezes that required a battery pull, but that and lots of problems started after i installed music mod. once i factory reset they went away.

Are you listening to this using bluetooth stereo? If so, turn off your wifi.

I continue having this problem when listening to music through a the 3.5 mm cable (like using headphones or when i have a two way 3.5mm plug that i hook up to my car)...any one else having this problem?.. but it doesnt seem to have a problem when on speaker...couldnt run the most elaborate test but it didnt skip through the two songs that i tested

Well, it would seem that both of these apps cause this "skipping" problem:
Weather and toggle widgets
Turtle photoframe
Both are widgets, and every time I uninstall them the problem seems to go away. Maybe its just certain widgets or a problem with touchwiz causing this. I'll keep testing.

i also am experiencing this problem. it not only happens when playing music from the sd card or device, but even on pandora i notice it skipping in the same manner it does when playing mp3s.

Sense Music Player problems

Hey all,
Everytime i plug my headphones in, the song im currently playing will skip at random.It works fine when im using the speakers though.
Same thing happens on Windows Media Player.
Nitrogen and pocketplayer seem to work fine though.
Anybody else have this issue?
And are there any solutions?
I indeed have the same problem but found no solution, also sometimes start playing randomly while I don't use Sense, very annoying if I'm using Nitrogen
I've even noticed this happen in Sense sometimes, not sure whats causing it, its very annoying.
I think I have the same problem as you guys. I think I may have fixed it by disabling the auto devicelock feature. I only tried this a couple of hours ago, but so far it has completely solved the problem for me. If you would like to try it, change the value of HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0 then soft reset. I found I can still lock the device manually without problems.
Hey thanks!
It seems to have worked, for now.
I'll report back in a few days.
Crap, the problem still persists.I guess i'll just stick to nitrogen...

[Q] No sound - just crackling/static

I have been running CM 6.1.0-RC1-Liberty on my Aria for a couple of months now. Sometime after flashing, I started to encounter sound problems. I first noticed it while using Google Navigator on long trips. The TTS would stop generating speech and the only sounds were low volume crackles/static. Initially, I thought this was associated with Navigator. However, over the last 2 - 3 weeks, this has started happening sporadically every 2 - 4 days. The only fix I have for it right now is to reboot the phone.
Otherwise, CM 6.1 works flawlessly with the exception of problems connecting to bluetooth devices from time to time. When I have this problem, I unpair the device and re-add and all works. This seems to be a somewhat common problem with Android devices and is easy to work around. It does not "appear" to be related to the crackling sound problem (i.e. one does not occur with the other).
I have not installed any TTS other than the default Pico.
I don't know what else to post in the way of info. Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks in advance for any ideas that you have on resolving this issue.

that thread wasn't about crackling/no sound it was about choppy ie: skipping music
what i found was after awhile especially when changing songs with the DSP manager effects/eq going caused the sound on mine to just be crackles i disabled all effects and just used poweramp for a music player because it has a built in 10 band eq
DSP Manager will definitely cause those issues.

[Q] Problem with spotify

Hello everyone, hope this is in the right place. So I recently started using slimkat, and everything has been going fine except for this problem that im having. I downloaded spotify but I have had problems when using it, since it only plays the song when im on the android homescreen. when i open spotify it stops, or if i pull down the notifications bar, pretty much anything thats not the homescreen of android makes it stop playing music, only to resume when going back to the homescreen. I thought it was something to do with the rom not being compatible or something, but today when I was using it it was working fine, used different apps while listening to music, locked the phone and still played music just fine. but later I had the same problem. now, testing a bit I realized that this is only happening when I've ot headphone plugged in. when they are not plugged in I can go into any app and not have problems. but when I plug them in again, I can only hear music when in the homescreen (note, the one time that everything was working fine I was using headphones).
Has anyone had something similar happen? is this a known problem? is it spotify ot the rom? I am using slimkat build 3.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

Video problems in kit kat

I have the v500 since christmas and i had no problem until i updated to kit kat. Before that, i watched my videos on bsplayer (its quite easy for using subtitles) or VLC, but now they both dont work well. Bsplayer is like slow, i mean, every 2 seconds the image stops for an instant and then continues, sound works without problem. In VLC it's the sound that stops working once every five minutes more or less, and for a few seconds. Sometimes, it also happens with some games. I alredy tried to restore the device and reinstalling the apps. Also deleting data files and cache of both apps.
Anyone having this problem and a solution??

Although I like BSPlayer and it works fine for me, I should point out that the default video player by LG works very well, reads subtitles just fine, and many codecs.
Did you clear app data or did you try uninstalling the apps and do a fresh install after the upgrade? I don't use either of those apps but i did have a problem after the upgrade with a couple of apps behaving badly until i cleared the app data and one required a reinstall.
doh, can you tell I was watching hockey when i wrote this? It looks like you already tried my suggestions...

I have problem with videos also.
I has started after changing soft to new soft 4.4.2.
While playing video (.mkv or .mp4), in defeault player or in MX Player, every few minutes, the picture is freezing for few seconds (audio is playing normally).
I have tried with different movies, always the same.
Before Android update everything was allright.

The same is happening to me as well. I'm considering following the thread in XDA about downgrading to original 4.2.2, but I'm worried about bricking the G Pad. It's the last option; i have tried with several different players, and after a factory reset to no avail.
It's a mess from LG, I can't understand how this could go under the radar during their testing phase.
Anyone has info about future updates?
this actually happens to me using the stock video player on kit kat. I been using mx player since then with no issues..
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue with videos on 4.4.2 whatever video player I am using. I updated my tablet as soon as I bought it, so I can not compare to 4.2.
I switched to the ART runtime (you need to enable Developer options to do so) a week ago and since then, video playing is smooth again.

Music play stops when opening Gallery.

I have a strange experience music play stopped when opening gallery. Does anybody have this problem.
Pls let me know if u have any fix.
You need to give more details for someone to be able to help you...

can you reproduce the problem?
if yes, mention the sequence to reproduce the problem, so that other users can also check...
Btw, I'm using n7player and I tried to open Gallery (Album mode) while the music is playing, but the music didn't stop.
Hope it helps...

Same problem but while using Firefox or chrome
Hi,
I have also experienced the problem of the music player stopping all of a sudden but happens while I'm browsing. It persists no matter which player I use. I've tried clearing cache memory of the applications and from the bootloader as well. But has not helped.
What can be the solution for this?
Thanks.

Do you have LOTS of pics in your phone or card memory?
The only reason I can think of, is the ram memory couldn't handle multitasking when its fully utilized.
Our device has 1 GB of ram but the FREE memory is lower than 300 MB most of the time.
You'd look for the apps for its rem memory consumption and remove any unnecessary apps if needed.
BTW, I tested playing an MP3 file with Rocket Player and then opening the gallery app, but there was no glitch whatsoever.
Strangely, while testing Google play music I found that it stops playback as soon as it loses the focus to ANY other app...
Hope it helps.

By any chance, do you soft-reboot your phone. I had the same problem and realised that soft-reboot and the call problem were correlated to each other. I stopped the soft-rebooting, and the problem was solved.
Hope it helps

No, soft rebooting is when only the software reboots, whereas hard reboot is that what you normally do, is when the hardware reboots as well, I think.

Since you still have an option for 30 days replacement and the problem highly seems like a hardware problem, you'd act fast to confirm the problem.
If I had this problem, I would have backed my data etc and try factory resetting the device.
Then without installing ANY apps....test the music playback for a while to try reproducing the problem...
You'd also try playing the music from device internal memory, to see if that makes any difference.
If the problem come back even once...I'd definitely ask for a replacement asap.
Btw, I never had this kind of problem, and no other person posted about this issue....so this could well be the hardware problem.
I'll suggest to make your decision fast...
