[Q] my captivate can not playing Mp3 files suddenly

---

Hi Suddenly my phone can not play mp3 files. I'm using player pro, and default player 'music player' both of them. If I try to play it the "Sorry the player does not spport this type of audio file" message keep coming out. Even it can not play video, and it says it has problem with playing video. Even the ringtone I made from an mp3 file can not be played right now. So when it get calls it gives silence.


I've heard that there's some apps for playing media files, I might miss that now. can anybody tell me where i can get those apps?
Do you have any idea about this? I rooted the phone, but didn't change the rom. it has still 2.1.

I'm having the same issue after the Froyo update. The only solution I've found is to reboot which, to me, is bull****.

I have two Captivates running Phoenix Ultimate and they have both exhibited this. rebooting does fix it but I don't really consider that a fix.
Pro Player is the prefered player but I noticed it does this with the stock player as well.

Did anyone find a permanent fix for this?

My Captivate was working fine but started doing this randomly after I upgraded to 2.2. I will not be able to play any media, won't connect to youtube either. Of course the reboot works, but I miss calls because it randomly stops playing my custom ringtone.

Same here. Anyone have a fix?

Not playing mp3 suddenly

I am also having this problem with audio and video files not playing.Yes, reboot works but is not a fix!

I am also having this problem. It happens like twice a day now, really starting to piss me off. Any solution get?

U see alot of posts but no info that is needed to help. No rom version, no modem, no kernel info. All these things matter.

Mine is SGH-I896

Firmware 2.2

Baseband I896UXJL1
Kernal 206.32.9
Build FROYO.UXJL1

This is getting so annoying...

I am on 2.3.3 (Mosaic III, a jvh build) using X-cal's 1.2 no voodoo reorient jvh kernel. Previously, I used Phoenix and mostly speedmod kernels. Since upgrading to Froyo, I cannot play 95% of my music.

Currently, the included Mosaic music players (both stock 1.1.1 and miui v. 1) only play about 5% of my non-drm mp3s which are stored on my external sd card. (The error says "sorry, the player does not support this audio file" or something like that; but they are all mp3s with Id3v2.2 tags. I painstakingly checked. 95% are rendered unknown artist and are unplayable by the music players.) I have deleted and reloaded the music to no avail. Again, I had the same problem under Froyo (Phoenix Roms) but no problems under Eclair. I don't think this is a Rom based issue but I'm not prepared to rule it out.

I have tried at least four other music apps and they all have the same problem.

I will try to remove both included music apps (which are regarded as system apps) and reinstall.

Question: is there an explanation as to what is causing this? Whether or not there is an explanation, has anyone found a resolution?

This has been a frustrating several months and I thought, foolishly, that Gingerbread would solve the issue.

Any relevant insight on this (ruled out culprits, etc.)?
