[Q] mp3 decoding not working

---

Hi,

Just got the info from my children that mp3 decoding on their phones is not working (music player hangs).

Both have a Galaxy 3 updated with standard Android 2.2 (subversion is slightly different bcause of different phone customzations by the phone provider).

I tried different music players (stock, google music, winamp) but all causes the same effect: phone starts vibrating and the app crashes...

Of course, no troubles with any other media (video, youtube...).

Given all music apps are impacted, I suspect a problem in a system library.

I've searched in the forums, but found no mentions about my problem (strange, it is on two phones, so should be pretty common).

I'd like to stay with the stock rom, so I'd prefer either installing an app self contained (not using sytem libraries for decoding), or somehow fixing the system libraries w/o having to install a new rom.

I'd like to know if I'm the only one in this position, and if you have suggestions for a fix.

Thanks

You must do a hard reset of your phone.
Just type in *2767*3855# and your phone will restart.
Keep in mind that you will lose your data on your phone like: unsaved phone numbers, installed apps, mp3 (all are in your phone internal memory witch will get erased), those stored on you micro sd flash will not suffer any changes, so save your apps(or download them again), mp3,photos on your micro sd.
If this helps you please give me a thanks.

Hard reset done on one of the two phones, but problem is still there: mp3 player crashes (I've not yet re-installed 3rd party players, but bug is exactly the same as before the reset: mp3 starts playing few seconds, then phone vibrates and music hangs).

Rom on the two phones is JP4.

Also to note an other strange behavior: the phone shows a warning message when launching apps accessing the network (market, browser) to ask to activate mobile data connection... even when the phone is connected through wifi. This was not the case before the froyo update.

I'm not finding all this much normal...

Any further suggestion (I understand last resource is anyway installing Kyrillos rom)?

Thanks

I see. There is something you could do, and that is flashing the Rom again. Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1063940 to get the latest rom and flashing tools and here is the flashing tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778880, i can bet that this will fix your problem. Or you can go to a local samsung service for repair, you do have warranty?

Thanks!

On other forums I found the problem is not uncommon.

Songbird is not exceptional, but does not use the buggy system library and works like a charm.

I've removed the stock app icon just to avoid running it accidentally...

It's a pity not being able to share songs with google music (app is using the buggy lib)

may b sumthin wrong wid sd. backup ur sd data & format it.. via phone.. then restore backed uo data.. & then try if they give fcs anymore.. :/

btw if possible let ur children to talk wid us, they might know better their phone than u .. no disrespect but its true.. :/
