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.

Bluetooth...

It was no problem with my Pro2 to listen to Music via bluetooth !
Now with the LEO - which is the best device which I ever had - I can use the phone over bluetooh but hear no music.
I also marked under advanced the music button
Pls help me

I have a similar problem, though not quite the same. I am actually able to connect up my BT headset, but the advance controls no longer function; only voume control. No Pause, Forwards or Backwards! (in both Coreplayer & S2P).
They clearly recognise that a signal was recieved (if i try forwarding), however the player just minimises one receipt of the signal, and upon maximising just ignores the functions.
Anyone experiencing similar issues?

I just talked to HTC - they said probably it is the wrong device (head set)...

I have the same problem.

I have a problem with using my MOTOROKR T505 Bluetooth® In-Car Speakerphone, which in my old phone (nokia e71), worked like a dream. With Leo, connects ok, butafter playing for some time, will hickup for like 7-10 seconds, then resume, play for another minute, and repeat. This seems to coincide with the phone going to sleep? ie: after the screen turns black. I am running s2u2, and when the music stops, if i press any button to wake it up, it starts playing again. As long as i keep the screen active, it plays.
Is there a setting that is making Leo to "Standy", either in s2u2 or in OS?

Music playing problem, all Players

Hello,
I have read some posts about that, but I cannot find them right now...
I have problems sometime when playing music (with headset). As long as the screen is on, no problem. When the phone is in sleep mode (screen off), I have some short break... Or the player just stop. It seems the issues is just like if I remove the headset cable.
I have tried Soft and Hard Reset, I have tried two different Headset, I have tried with TouchFlo player Tab, Windows Media Player and Core Player... Some time it works for one hour with no problem, sometime it just play ugly one song and just stop.
Did any one has the same issue? Find a way to suppress this? Maybe just a registry tweak to disable the "Pause on cable off" ?

I have same issue and make ticket to HTC - but they answer is to perform Soft Reset. They can't reproduce this problem.

I'm having the same problem; short random breaks in the music. Did eith er of you install SRSwow by any chance? I may try uninstalling that and see if the issue continues.

Having exactly the same problem, short breaks in the music, and if i lock the screen, the music stops at the end of the song and doesnt go onto the next track

I don't installed SRSwow. My last try was a Hard-Reset, and just after first start, I played music... And get the problem. My next try will be to use the #### headset I got with my Leo. But I have to go back home for this.

I had the problem using the Leo headset

All of you have a lock screen with "password"? (I have one due to my exchange policies). I tested a trick yesterday: I manually lock the phone before putting it into sleepmode... and no problem (two times).

My problem hasn't re-occurred since i did a soft reset

Maybe the short breaks have something to do with the update function of the music player? Once in a while, don't know when, but definitely when you use the music player the first couple of times, the player does some heavy working in the background. (indicated by the little merry-go-round in the left upper corner).
Anyway the player isn't any good when you have 100+ albums. Browsing through that many albums is a disaster (no scroll bar, no search function). Also the artist are grouped by "performing artist" and not by "album artist", a tear-breaker when you have many compilation albums. Also, and every player for the WM platform (in contrast to the ipod players) have this weird functionality, albums are sorted by album tiltle and not by artist. Who in heavens name knows all his/her album titles by heart? When a album pops in mind you want to play, you think in terms of .... (that wonderfull) album by Fleetwood Mac for example and /not/ in terms of that album, called "Rumours", by ...... (that crazy rockgroup... what's its name).
But that's "appelflap" talking.

I believe this is a very old problem witch occurs on allot of HTC phones.
I've had this problem on one of my 3 previous HTC phones, cant remember witch one, because I bought a decent mp3 player a long time ago
It's a damn shame really that HTC can't fix this thing.

I have this problem too, but also with the audio cable running to my car stereo. As long as the screen is on, there is no problem. If I turn it off, the music starts breaking up once in a while.

use Nitrogen people! been using that on my HD2 and have had zero music playing pauses / breaks / etc, even with screen off, regardless of whether headset is on or not.

Have a similar problem with another winmo phone. The problem was with listening music on microsdhc (i.e. larger than 2gb microsd card) card.
It seems the device just shut down card reader on standby (Screen Off), so when your buffer is empty (end of the song, as a rule) there is no music to play and it just stops.
And no, I dunno the reason for such behavior. And there was no problem with 2gb or less microsd cards.
P.S. I'll test my leo with 16gb card tonight (just bout it), to see, if there a similar problem.

I have the problem problem with my 8Gb card. I could try with the 2Gb too. This should be the reason for the "stop playing at the end of the track".
But for the playing "short break", I have another thinking: Nitrogen don't have the problem. The most important differences between Nitrogen and WMP/TF3D player is the rule that make the music to pause when removing the headset. And this really "sounds" like a problem of headset, as if the phone "loose" the headset connection. Try to remove and quickly re-plug your phone; you'll se the same issue.
Back to my first question: is there a way to disable the pause on unplug head-set? Maybe in the registry?

I still don't have HD2, but I have these problems on X1.
Nitrogen did not help, in fact it can't play some MP3 at all. It either skips it or crashes completely. But otherwise it is the best player I know.
What does work however, is to use Core player and set 'higher priority during music playback'. Also I tried to change priority to higher using task manager for Nitrogen and it seemed to help, but I did not test it that much to be sure.
I sent this to nitrogen bug tracker (suggestion that it should allow higher priority) but after month there is no reaction.

I fixed my issues by just cleaning up my music and making sure I didn't have more than 30 songs per folder(had ~1000 in one and it made the music player lag like crazy).

i've the problem, but only when receiving or doing a call. after that the lags start ... this is annoying -.-

Having issues as well with HTC music player, it stutters, there are sound artifacts where the song skips, and sometimes a song will stop playing after 2 seconds.
This is so annoying im prepared to send it back. I reformated my 8gb class 6 card, but it´s still the same.
Using another player is fine, no issues. This is classical HTC issues, they need to get the crap together and fix issues like this before the release. Had the same issues with my diamond until they fixed it.

hi everybody! I had the same problem but not in the sleep mode. My htc music will have little break when my Opera loading something.
It is had any way to fix it? thank you

In the settings for the display light there is also an option for "turn off my device if inactive in:" - I disabled that option and my music player (Pocket Player) is now running without problems.

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.

HTC Music player randomly skipping music

Hi all, I'm new to the forums so don't be too harsh on me, and sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find it anywhere (skipped through like 15 pages)
I have a, in my eyes, huge problem with the HTC Music player, sometimes it just skips songs or fast forward through them, then it takes a while before it stops and I can listen to music again, and sometimes it won't stop and I have to turn my phone off and on for it to work again. This is really annoying and happens 4 or 5 times in my 1 hour trip to school.
As I said, it does occur randomly, but on some songs more often then others. I put them on my phone with Windows Media Player. I also keep it upside down in my pocket if that's a problem. I also tried other ear-phones but that didn't solve anything.
Thanks in advance and I hope there's a solution to this ^^ also, are there more people with this problem, I have searched the internet quite a bit but found no information whatsoever.

yes, I have same problem and its only when using not htc's headphones, so it must be a problem with headphones connector on HD2.
Friend of mine is having same problem.

Yeah, it works fine with HTC's crappy headphones. Doesnt work with my Shure's.It does work with my portable speakers though.

HTC Music skipping and stopping
My problem is that when i turn on HTC Music it works fine with headphones other than the HTC ones until i lock the screen. Then it cuts the music out once or twice then cuts off completely, all within 60 seconds of locking the screen.
Thinking this was a problem with the headphone's connection jack, as they are from an old Sony minidisc player, i went back to the crappy HTC headphones and the same thing happened!
Any ideas for a cure would be greatly appreciated as i get around by cycling and it defeats the purpose it i have to stop every 2 mins just to restart the player or answer the phone.
HTC HD2
OS Version5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Version 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
ROM Date 01/11/10
Radio Version 2.06.51.07
Protocol Version 15.30.50.07U

whenever there is incoming call while i am listening to music..... it will happen right after screen is off.
i called HTC support about this, but they said no such case reported and tested...
Now my solution is to press the Play button on Headphone or do not lock the screen.
Any permanent solution ?!
thanks alot !!

ive been having a problem when i hook it up to my dd monitor in my car, it goes wacky and changes songs and fast forwards, rewinds. its only when i hook up to the 3.5 jack from my deck, headphones is no issue...im stumped

Has anyone come up with a solution?I have the same problem when I hook up my Sensation to car radio through 3.5mm.Starts fast forwarding and skipping through songs.

the stock earphones come with 4 metal pieces in the jack, while the others have 3.. my theory is that non-stock headphones sometime mimic a press of one of the buttons. as this also happens to me sometimes while removing the stock headphones from the device.
if you're good with welding stuff, buy a 4piece jack and connect the new headphones to it

Found a fix was hoping for sometype of patch but this works to.Do a search for, "headset blocker" in the market.
