[HELP] Problems using Lenovo K6 for music playback - Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
I new to the forum and I need some help from you as i've experiencing an annoying problem since i had this Lenovo K6 (k33a48) 6 months ago...
From the first boot, when listening to music, sometimes it will stop, no matter what application you use to read them (Blackplayer, ES Multimedia Player, VLC, MX player) and no matter what format is used (i have a majority of m4a files along with some mp3 and flac ones).
Even after the Nougat update, it continued but it appears not to do it as often as when it was on Marshmallow.
Also, I tried playing summoner's war when listening to music and whenever I do an action onscreen, the music will momentarily stop, then after the screen is completely loaded, it will then continue playing. Sometimes the sound gets glitchy and at this time i have to restart Blackplayer because it won't stop making glitchy noises on the background.
I don't think it's OOM-related or something like that, because i had an old Android phone that has 512mb RAM and it was able to run Summoner's War fine even with the music on the background, without any kind of sound glitches, though it was running on jelly bean 4.2.2. It annoys me; i have now four times the processing power, four times more ram, bigger screen, bigger battery life, more megapixels both in front and rear cameras, but I wasn't thinking I will encounter more problems with it than with my old rooted phone running xblast tools, monster UI and Xposed framework all on a meager dual core A7 SOC.
I tried every single thing that have passed on my mind, but seems not to do a great job... If you guys have experienced this or can give me some advice I wouldn't have thought, it would be a really great help; thanks in advance.
PS: sorry for the "probably-inaccurate" english, i'm not from an english-speaking country, if there's any mistake, feel free to tell me so I won't be making it in the future.

Try disabling Equalizer and if your problem didn't solve try factory reset.
Are you on Stock Rom with Root or on Custom Rom with or without Root?

Do you face this problem only when the song is playing in the background i.e. while playing a game or while the screen is locked & off. If yes, then you can do the following things:
1. Open the Blackplayer, go to SETTINGS/ADVANCED and then enable the persistent service.
2. Go to device Settings/battery, then press the three dots in the top right corner, select battery optimisation, then press "not optimised" and select all apps, then click on your music player and select don't optimise.

@ImSSin : I was facing the problem only in the two cases you quoted. Persistent service in BlackPlayer was already enabled. I did disable the battery optimization for BlackPlayer only and there it is: no sound glitches anymore when playing summoners war :good: thank you very much for the help it was really helpful ???.
I did not disable the Dolby equalizer though. I would not be a big deal, it's only useful for getting more bass without losing clarity and quality, thus giving a little more power.
Thanks a lot again.
PS: Sorry for the late reply, I was working all the day long and couldn't get any time to read the answers.

Slide 2 play losing sound problem

Hi everyone,
For the last couple of days I have been very frustrated with my prophet... I installed a wonderful rom from [email protected], but have been having trouble with audio playback in standby - I tried all possible registry fixes, but it was impossible to get consistent standby playback with either windows media player or htc audio manager. It always ended playing in standby for a couple of minutes, then several short sound interruptions until finally playback hangs.
As a result, I decided to try a different approach, by using the slide 2 unlock and slide 2 play apps. I really like both of them, and for a short time i thought I also had solved my problems... but, here comes the "but"... After some flawless playback with the screen off, the sound output just stops - at first I thought it was the player hanging, but when I unlock I see that the player is happily playing the music, there's just no sound coming out... and not just from s2p, no sound in the system at all... The only solution is a soft reset...
So my question is, does anybody have an idea what might be wrong, or I just have to settle that it won't be possible to have playback with the screen off...
Thanks in advance,
Boyan
I have exactly the same problem with s2p and s2u2 on my Diamond 2.
I can reactivate the sound by switching on the built-in radio but that's really annoying as it happens quite often.
I had problem like this. Install the lastest version of s2p. There is tweak 4 this.

lock phone without stopping music

This may sound stupid, but I want to lock the phone so I don't pump the keys in my pocket, doesn't matter which player I use (core, tcpmp, wmp, htc sense) whenever I lock the phone (press hangup so the screen goes black) the music stops cause the media player shuts down
is there anyway to make a program immune from being shut down by the lock function, because it's really annoying... sorry if this is answered somewhere else, I searched and couldn't find what I was looking for.
SOmething I've also noticed is that whilst it is locked I can still adjust the volume (energy rom mar11 2010 cookie monster)
and pressing the hang up key whilst its locked shuts off the music also...
I have a $20 sansa mp3 player that kicks the hd2's arse for music play back... which is really disappointing, I mean I know its not really a dedicated mp3 player,
but its kind of sad that my $1000 smart phone can't play a few mp3's without shuddering to a hault
The very same microsdhc 16gb class 2 card shifted from my hd2 to my sansa c250v2 running rockbox so its the exact same mp3 and wma files that play perfectly on the sansa that are buggering up on the hd2
I have disabled power management on my sd card as a suggestion from another thread as well.

With normal setup this cant be. At least the player in sense tab plays continuosly even when u turn of the screen.
If you cannot find a solution i could know a workaround. Just use the Nitrogen Player. It has a special button for turning the screen off while the music keeps playing.
But i just tried it in my hd2. The music also keeps playing with my windows media player.
So it is a bit strange it stops in every player on your device
And to compare your low budget mp3 player with the hd2 is kinda weird.
The sound quality through the headset is great and full of bass AND fully customizable.
Maybe you tweaked your device way too much as there seems to be more than one prob in there (changing volume while locked, ...)

this looked very promising, installed, soft reset, 3 times, no luck, song still stops, although I did note that it stopped and started a few times and then just gave up, then when I went back into the player after unlocking, there was no sound still but the time for the song was still ticking along.
this happens on 2 other hd2's at my work, and my old hd2 before I returned it for other warranty issues, both with the stock telstra rom and with other cooked roms, exact same problem of the music disappearing when locked..
update S2U2 and S2P work AWESOME and dont wipe out the sound... its kinda uggo and I lose a lot of functionality of the old unlock slider, but now I have flawless music playback, so.... thats good... a shame I can't have both
of course.... just to make a liar out of me.... coreplayer now runs while the phone is locked....um so... something I did either the reg tweak or installing and then removing s2u2 or installing s2p has fixed this issue... coreplayer now plays, whilst the phone is locked with the regular htc sense lock screen after pressing hang up....
so YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
I hit the windows key and then the lock link at the bottom. Takes a minute for the screen to turn off that way, but better than leaving it on the whole time.
If you press the hangup button to lock it, the phone goes into standby and all apps are suspended.
You really have a problem with your ROM, some program you use or whatever. Normally the Sense music player, WMP, S2P, PocketPlayer, Kinoma,... all continue to play when hitting the power key. Coreplayer and TCPCM don't, and that gets fixed by the cab I linked above.
I can do that with the FM radio , coreplayer and windows media player .
I just lock the phone , but the music keeps playing , even for more than 10 hours ( When I sleep , I keep the headsets on and the music on , and lock the phone put in the case and in the drawer and still can listen to music. )
Edit : Also the sense music works

doesn't this also disable "cpu sleep" everytime youpress power button making the device drain a lot of battery even during standby? I may be wrong, but that's how I understand the registry setting in that cab
What the ...!
I can lock my screen by the hang up button? And no, my music does not stop. On stock WWE -Rom. But, I had this issue on my Blackstone

You've read my threads enough to know it's the first thing I checked, and I'd have complained instead of saying thanks if I had seen an issue with that
From what I understand it will prevent standby as long as the WAV1 interface is in use (i.e sound is playing).
I always lock my device using the Hang Up button .. does this effect anything ?
Nope, it's normal. But with Coreplayer if you do that without the hack above it stops playing music.

d'oh, it could be useful whenever I want to lock on mortplayer, if I press power button it will also stop playback. Let's try that.
EDIT: So far so good, testing mA suction while playing on standby and while on "normal" standby.
EDIT2: So far NOT so good, locking with power button on mortplaying in playback, once stopped playback, and just now locked the whole phone on the lock screen. Uninstalling
yeah so that cab didn't help core player on my hd2 using the mar11 energy rom and 2.08 radio
but just playing musik with the s2p player, when you hit the hangup key it doesnt actually lock the phone traditionally, it kind of over rides the hangup keys function and just does a screen blank out controlled within s2p, which isn't too bad because the music keeps playing, but yeah, I definitely can't get coreplayer to stay playing with or without this cab installed.
Just a shame s2p doesnt have an equaliser or bass control or any advanced audio functions.

way to go, moron, your little registry crack somehow made all the speakerphone sounds (ringtones, music, notifications) come out of my EARPIECE!
check your crap .cabs before you post them,, thinking you kno what you're doing.
and if this wasn't your creation, pass the massage on to the maker, sorry. =] but seriously guys, be smart. check your registry edits a few times over before telling other people to do it, as a result to someone's stupidity, i now have to reflash the rom, because i have no clue what registry that little POS .cab file edited. D:
god, some people, i swear.
i had the same issue and posted in the energy rom thread. A great guy there advised to disable the cookie lock screen and revert to the normal one. That resolved my issue so i am sure it will do likewise for you.

Update for HTC HD2 Music Stability

This update for HTC HD2 HTC Sense enhances the stability of the music application so your enjoyment of your music is no longer interrupted by the player behaving unexpectedly.
Installation Instructions:
Note: This update is only applicable to ROM versions equal to 1.73.xxx.x, or lower.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=938&news_id=637
Installed without problems. I had very few 'stability' issues with the music app to begin with, so it'll be a while before I'll be able to tell if it improved anything.
And yeah, dammit, you beat me by a minute!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671207
what changes does this actually make, htc are always really vague saying what a patch does. does it by anychance fix the library reloading everytime
From time to time playback freezes for a few seconds - pretty rare but annoying - maybe this will be fixed.
Or maybe this is how HTC describe the annoying problem where Audio Booster does not automatically kick in when starting playback for the 1st time after a reboot?
the music player is always lag. unlike iphone player which is alot better
That's true, Music Player lags a lot... mainly after a couple of days without switching off the telephone and after an intense use of the player (2-3 hours)..
I hope this hotfix will solve those problems...
Does anyone has any feedback about it?
I wonder if there will be a hotfix for TMOUS, It lags so much i just dont even use that tab anymore

Not yet I'm afraid, but there are things you can do to help with the music tab, check out both of these threads:

Can someone post this cab, it dissapeared from HTC support site
using artemis v9 rom. 16gb card. much faster near instant load and scan of 12mb of music takes 20 secs from several minutes.
Whoooha - /WIN.
No lag (stop in music after every 10 seconds) any longer when putting device into sleep pushing power off once.
Old Work-around to push and hold power off and let it go to sleep from the screen with 'shut down' menu is now absolete.
After this fix just find your music, push play and one-hit power off to let it go to sleep and music plays perfectly.
Super upgrade - waaaaay to late - but glad its fixed!
Kindly

Audio booster is still not working
As my title, the audio booster is still not working properly after this update. It seems to cut out every time there is a drop in network connectivity.
This is a great shame, because for me it prodcuces the best audio output when combined with SRS WOW.
I am using S2P until audio booster is fixed, because bass level-wise, it is the next best thing. I know it is an iphone-clone along with S2U2, but they both do what I want for this particulalar purpose, so who cares!
Maybe one of the things they have fixed is where non HTC (4-pole connector) headphones make the phone act oddly like randomly redialling the last number dialled and the volume rocker fast forwarding tracks instead of doing the volume...?
Breaks Bluetooth Audio
Hello all.
I installed this hotfix on to Artemis 8.0 ROM and it broke the streaming of music to my bluetooth headset. Tried re-pairing the headset etc. to no avail. Anyone know a quick fix to return the audio output to my BT headset?
Thanks...
Guys, it says for HTC Sense. But thoes this effect WMP at all? I never use Sense to play music. But I have seen that WMP just randomly stop playing my music etc.
Any idea?
This fix does nothing for me... i still get lag, the pauses every 20-30 seconds...
REALLY ANNOYING. Although it didnt do it before, it jsut started in the last couple days, after a hard reset. ????
Does anyone have a solid solution to this problem? i dont wanna have to go to the 3rd party program EVERY time i want to listen to music.

I have now stopped using S2U2 and S2P and now using CHT Lockscreen and HTC Music again. There is still the Audio Booster problem, but with SRS WOW and Audio Booster on "Normal" it seems to be fine. I think if you choose a setting that it different, or customised then you notice the cut out. Either way, the phone seems more stable using less third party tweaks and software.

Definitive fix for the Galaxy S mp3 skipping/pausing/glitching problem

Hello all,
Coming from an iphone 3gs, I've had a wonderful experience with the Galaxy S, thanks in large part to the XDA community - Supercurio in particular.
His EQ fix for eclair elevated the Galaxy S audio quality over the iphone 3gs (IMO) which i used as my main music player, and with Froyo the EQ problem was resolved completely.
However, for me, and for a few users as well, a very nasty bug persisted - mp3 files would skip and jitter every 2-3 minutes in every song, and this for an audiophile was unacceptable - and frustrating to the point where i had stopped using the Galaxy S as my main portable player.
Having tried a number of solutions (eliminating widgets, shifting songs to external sd, using a task-killer, bashing my head agaisnt the desk etc), only one worked to put the problem to a permanent end:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...-playback-stock-player-samsung-captivate.html
pr0virus: "Its from the CPU throttling during playback.
I had the same problem until I noticed while looking at a system panel app that while music was playing my processor would down-clock to 200 sometimes as low as 100mhz.
Got setCPU, set the minimum it would throttle up to 400mhz, kept it on conservative and haven't had a problem. "
So there you have it - Root phone, Install setCPU, set minimum processor speed to 400 (200 works as good in my case) and voila, you have the best PMP on the market!
Also, remove weather and toggle widget as that causes the skipping too
Many thanks again to everyone involved!
I haven't really thought about this problem for awhile. I recently started using my Galaxy S as my primary music player, be it mp3, m4a or flac. The problem is that it always seems to have some issue with a song during playback (aka: a glitch). It is infrequent, but very annoying. My S9 never has an issue, nor did my Clix2. Regardless of file type, and maybe not often, but it happens.
Initial experience with Froyo (xfjp7) was good. Last night it reappeared during playback of an album. Last song and all of a sudden that brief but distracting "glitch."
Will definitely give your advice a try. Thanks,
El Mono
I have this issue with my phone as well, but not consistently.
It goes a step further, though. Half the time it starts skipping, a second later the phone will actually turn itself off. The only way to get it to turn back on is to hold the power button for a long 10 seconds.
Anyone else seen this?
Think the setCPU fix will resolve for me as well?
I've experienced this kind of glitch or lag maybe twice or three times at all with my phone, and it was because i was listening to music, using maps, youtube and internet. I put my songs on external sd card, which seems to be better. And i also use voodoo lagfix (i don't know if it changes something, but my audioplayer became much better).
Hope it helps someone!
Cheers!
@omersak i have been suffering with this problem intermittently, and it was really getting to me and ruining my morning run! after searching i realised it was wrong to blame poweramp or supercurio! i did exactly as you said, but set for 'On Demand' and 200mhz minimum. have not had A SINGLE glitch since!
excellent work! thanks so much, i highly recommend this to anyone with music glitches!
Use poweramp, u can change the buffer settings and audio is fantastic!

Speaker started with crackling sound

Why when notification comes or even playing music games video etc I heard Sound like crackling?
Glad I'm the only one who noticed this too, I'm playing some rhythm games on this phone (in case you're wondering, it's Bang! Dream or Bandori) and sometimes there's a crackling sound coming from the speaker whenever I tap the notes (and it's making the tapping sound effect, aside from the music in the background). On top of that, sound effects from the tapping seemingly can't play while other sound effects (the song itself) play. This means that fast streams in songs pretty much always have note sounds missing and this really throws me off when I play, as I play with the sounds as an assistance in a way (which means getting full combo is a no go). The only way to temporarily fix it is by restarting the phone entirely and then the game works properly once - if you play it and then close the game and reopen it, the bug continues. Another way I recently found is just to keep playing longer, as in around 10 minutes and beyond and it gradually fix itself as in calibrating the sounds, however strange that sounds.
The problem is whether on hardware or software?
