MP3 playback problem - Touch 3G General

hi, i searched forum but there seems to be no other with this specific problem...
i´m using my Jade as MP3 player, and there is annoying gaps during playback... not between the songs, but during the song. seems to happen once at 10 mins or so. First i´ve been thinking of broken phone connector, ´cause it´s just like bad contact or broken cable... but it happens even with playback on system speaker too. Until today, i have been using bluetooth stereophones, and didn´t noticed this, after my BT deadset died, i´ve bought Porta Pro wired headphones and here my problem starts. MP3´s are played from 8GB SDHC Kingston class6, have 39MB free storage and 71MB free ram. Can´t do hard reset, too much apps i need almost daily. BTW, i´m using Jade to record audio too, with external mic, for work-in-progress recordings while training with band.
There are no gaps in recordings, works just fine. Only this MP3 playback...
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I thought, I don´t have this problem with the actual ROM, but this is not right.
Many of the HTC Devices have this Problem and you can hear it in many Devices very good, but in my Jade this MP3 skip it´s very minimal, but there it IS a skip :-( (**** happens)
For many Devices -Diamond, Touch HD, Touch Pro, ... - give it a Hotfix from April 2009 but nothing for the Jade .... :-(((((

thanks for reply, no one else having this problem ?
This thing is realy annoying me, this device is my only music player available...
strange that it never happened via AD2P/BT...
In Kaiser/Tilt section, there´s thread about the same, only fix seems to be flashing another ROM/radio, so please could anyone post their configuration and how their mp3 playback works? I have stock ROM.

I confirm so music skips sometimes. Very annoying thing. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.

I reported this problem long time ago. It is very annoying.
One would think that with the technology as it is playing mp3 files should not be a problem, but on Jade it is.

MP3 Audio Glitch(pause)

Has anyone been able to find a fix for the glitch(pause) every 5 or so minutes when playing Audio through headphones.
It even does it in flight mode, ive turned Activesync off, but it still does the glitch.
Thanks.
Dear Sir,
I think that I have the same problem, sometimes mp3 player(audio manager) pause for 1/10 of second.
I do some HR, because I suppose that's a software bugs, but I don't have solved the problem with HR.
Best regards
This is a well known issue, I think it's like this on every niki device.

Aye, 'tis a shame.
At times I wonder if its slightly related to video drivers - I always use the Niki with my A2DP Jabras down the gym, and will switch the screen off to save a bit of juice - music playback stops for a moment when the screen blanks.
Still, thats not as irritating as the SMS notifications coming through loud and clear on the bluetooth headset. Ouch!

Stutters in audio playback every few minutes

I am playing some music recorded to .ogg, using either Pocket Player or Coreplayer, but every few minutes (about 4-5 minutes), there is a little stutter during playback. It is very annoying and destroys my enjoyment.
I agree that the tracks are long (around 20 minutes) and the files are therefore large, but I have tried to increase buffer size for the players, but it seems to make no difference.
Has anyone got some inspiration for me?
thanks

I've also noticed similar minor "glitches" in the audio playback, but when playing .M4A files (similar to AAC).
Anyone else noticed this? I don't know if it also affects MP3s.
Ideas, anyone ?

Hi,
I am also facing this problem any resolution?
Yes.... this problem happens with Mp3 also.... who could think of it. It can't even play music without stammering... lets not get started on video
BANE
I have tried the basic guide to enhancing performance at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446366
and it seems to make no difference - the stutters are still there. I thought it might be related to doing a Send/receive in Messenger, but it doesn't seem to be.
This is real downer on my experience of the HD, as I was expecting it to be the ultimate communication/entertainment all-in-one device. Not so sure now.

I don't think optimizing performance has anything to do with this. I mean, playing audio is NOT a demanding process. My old xda2i used to play audio without hassle....
There is something else that is responsible for this skipping in audio on the HD, I just can't figure out WHAT.
BANE
Same for me with MP3 using PocketMusic player, hopefully will get some updates soon... Then hopefully the HD will be more of what we all wanted!
Excuse me if this is stating the obvious, but I would urge everyone experiencing this problem to be sure to REPORT IT to HTC.
If there is no obvious solution and it requires attention from HTC developers, then we can't expect them to fix it unless people actually tell them about it, preferably quite a few people !
Thanks,

I have to say that I haven't experienced this even once. And I should be seeing it more than anyone, because I listen to audio books on my Touch HD for a total of about 80 minutes every day during my commute. My files are MP3s that are up to 8 hours long (100+ MB in some cases). I use Pocket Player 3.7. Never happened to me even once so far.
That stutter was exactly what was happening to me on my previous Windows Mobile phone, the AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II). It was like a half-second pause (not a skip) every once in a while. I was seeing it with Pocket Player 3.7 and with Audible.com's own player (possibly using the libraries of Windows Media Player) on that device.
In fact, one of the things that I like best about my Touch HD is that it cured that occasional pause problem for me when listening to audio books.

Interesting.. It would probably be less noticable with speech, though.
In my case, it's more like an occasional discontinuity in the tempo of the music, perhaps like a tiny fragment has been skipped. I only notice it every few minutes, but then again because the sound quality is generally very good, it's an annoying artifact in an otherwise pleasant listening experience.
I'm using the same music files that played back OK on my old PDA, so it can't be the fault of the files. I've not got any other fancy software loaded that might upset it, either.

That's probably true. There are more silences between sentences and, sometimes, words. That increases the likelihood that the stutter might coincide with one of those, which reduces my likelihood of noticing it. On the other hand, what are the odds of it always having coincided with those occasional brief silences in the audio book, in my entire two weeks' worth of audio book listening (easily over 10 hours) since I got the Touch HD?... I've never noticed it even once, while my similar stuttering experience on my Tilt was fairly obvious and annoying on a regular basis.
I have the same problem in all music players. It IS annoying. I have read in the Touch Diamond forum that they have had the same issue from day one. My Prophet and Trinity never had this skipping issue. Maybe a future rom will fix it.
Interesting thread here.. havent noticed anything so far on my HD..
testing it now to see if it accures!
will tell you the results in a bit
After aprox. 20mins of mp3s all is smooth without problems!
Guys i dont know why you have this annoying glitches.. i have no problems with mp3s or what so ever.. (using TF3D player)
the sound quality from the HD to my Creative Aurvana is just superb! i cant see why some people complain about the sound quality!
(get a decent pair of headphones maybe?)
here are is the info of my HD:
ROM: 1.14.40.1.3 (22273) WWE
ROM date: 10/24/08
Radio: 1.09.25.14
FYI as we all do.. i added a lot of programs and tweaks to the device so its not "clean"
as it was out of the box!
hope you resolve this issue.. but my guess its just a small bug in some rom builds?
yes this is a bug, and a bad bug too, it makes listening to any track really irksome. It has that sort of effect, where you sit there just waiting for the track to stutter.
the funny thing is that the stutters occur between 4-5 minutes apart. There must be something to that, the processor must become occupied at these regular intervals.
I think the obvious point, as someone pointed out above, is to report it to HTC - what they will do I have no idea, they normally don't answer my bug reports other than a formal receipt.
It seems from the posts here that this is definitely a problem. Perhaps another class action to make some action? The HD is now useless to me as a media player ...

I have the same problem too, I thought I was the only one.
I will try a hard reset and play some audio files to check if it is related to some piece of software installed on my HD.
i have the same problem, i am using mp3 at 320 kbs without conversion with the manilla player...the stutter is really a fraction of a second, but it is annoying indeed.

Sound plays too fast on Elfin - mp3, wav, EVERYTHING!!!

For some reason, all audio files in my Elfin would just play at 2x its normal speed... ringtones, mp3 files, etc. When I reset the phone, everything would go back to normal. But after a while, the problem comes back by itself.
I've noticed that other users have the same problem. Has anyone come up with a solution for this?
yeah, me too, the only solution i found is to plug and unplug the headphones. But it comes back again after a while
...there has to be a better way dude... we gotta figure out why it's acting like that...
Did anyone solve this issue?
I don't think anyone's found a solution yet...
experts?
hello guys
same problem in my htc please do something
hello guys ..
Hey.. i found that it is hardware problem bcz. if u connect blue-tooth stereo device with your HTC Touch P3452 or 3450 .. the sounds plays normally ...Thanks

Strange problem with MP3 playback - missing vocal

Hi.
I have a strange problem with MP3 playback with some songs; when listen on headphones, everything is fine, but when I listen on speaker, some songs are missing vocals; you can hear just instruments, and veeerrryyy faintly vocals; like they are in other room. But when I connect headphones, that same song sounds OK. And I have that issue with just few songs; others sound OK on speaker and headphones, and they work fine on computer.
I have tried with stock player and winamp, but i got same problem on both of them.
Wow. You have a one of a kind karaoke phone ! Sell it to someone in Japan and buy 10 new phones. Other then that I have no idea except install a different Rom to rule out software problem
Written using grafitti on a Palm VII with 8 megs of ram and overclocked to 32mhz!

Hehe; it would be nice if there was a switch to turn this on or off and if it will work on all songs Then it will be nice feature
I didn't change my firmware, so I still have 2.1 stock JM1. And this problem was present from first day, but I didn't care about it, because it was present only on two songs that I have.

Problem whit bluethoot audio

Hey guys, I have a problem with the bluethoot playback, it stutters for a second randomly. It happens once every 5 or 10 minutes but it's pretty uncomfortable, I go through a creative speaker bombox and my two cars, another Spanish forum there are more people affected, someone else is wrong? The rom is indifferent, I spent with kk and I still happening with llp, thank you very much
Edit: bluetooth, not bluethoot
I have the same issue. I use my phone to play music (on SD card) in my car vua bluetooth and also use bluetooth headphones for same music.
And glad you noticed the bluethoot typo lol
I was having a similar problem with Bluetooth and Poweramp. I started using the Samsung music player and haven't had any problems yet
sent from somewhere
Same here....
Another thread was just created that's related to this problem. People are suggesting things like custom kernels.
Unfortunately for me, my phone doesn't have a Root method yet. So I'd welcome any solutions that don't require root.

I"m having the same problem with my phone. Regardless of which device my phone is sycn'd with, car, blue tooth speakers the sound skips/stops for a second then starts up again.
Samsung support wasn't much help, their resolution was to send the phone in.
