[Q] Stock music player stopping randomingly

[harpsichord3626]

Hi,

The stock music player stops (actually pauses the music) randomly on my Samsung SGS, usually after around 30 mins of playback. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

I'm running 2.2.1 XXJPY on an unlocked 8GB SGS.

I certainly didnt have this issue. Are you using the headphones for listening to music?

Maybe, IMO, the headphones are loose and it is coming out. whenever you pluck out the headphones from the phone, the music pauses.

The headphones appear to be attached quite securely and most of my listening is done at work sitting at a desk. I'll try a different set of headphones though and see if they make a difference.

I am getting this as well even without headphones plugged in. Seems to be random - it can happen within 5 minutes, or it can play for hours without stopping.

This also happens to me, same with Power Amp, Music Mod, and the stock player. It just randomly stops playing every so often, it's very annoying.

I only listen through headphones and I have seen other threads that suggest it is something to do with the contact on the headphones but they are always securely fit in, and it happens on my brother's phone as well.

Most likely it has to do with the contacts.

Try to twiggle the plug a bit while listening to something. If music stops it's the plug.

I experience this issue with PowerAMP and the plug for my car stereo, when i just rotate it completely plugged in.

Anyone have anything else to offer on this? I know it's not a headphone connection issue as it happens when using bluetooth in the car as well. It happens with Poweramp, Listen and Audible so I guess it must be something to do with it killing the apps or something? It drives me mad!

I was experiencing this issue a year and a half ago when I owned an HTC legend. It happened then on stock rom and also CM6.

I've owned my SGS for about 8 months now and have experienced this bug on every rom I've tried (froyo, KC1, KG3, now CM7).

I've looked at the log files when this happens and it simply says something to the effect of "cannot read from source" or "premature end of file." (I can't remember exactly). Strange thing is, the music is only paused, I can hit play and resume right where it stopped, so there is obviously no issues with reading the file. It also happens when I'm listening to podcasts in google listen.

I've learned to live with it.

Also about the headphones, I use the external speaker when rocking my baby daughter to sleep sometimes and it happens then too.

thanks for sharing: I get this periodically and wasn't sure what was causing it

Have you tried fixing permissions?

Can't really see how that would make a difference.
