Volume key is changing tracks in music player - HD2 General

Since installing ROM 1.66 I've noticed when I try to turn up the volume when playing music it changes the track instead. Is this an error?

I take it no one else has this problem then.

It is an error, yeah. I believe that HTC intended to have the volume buttons skip tracks under certain circumstances, like when the phone is in standy (for example). I don't know for sure - I'm just assuming that the functionality is there for a reason!
When it happens to me (which has been about 3 or 4 times in nearly 3 months), I just move off the music tab and then back onto it and the problem disappears.
Give that a go. If it works, it's at least a workround till it gets fixed proper.

Yes moving off the music tab does seem to correct it and when I've gone back to the music tab it now appears to be working. It's only since I updated to 1.66 this has happened.
Not a big problem but I hope they patch it soon.
Thanks.

Music stops every now and then for less than a second

Hello,
I have noticed that every now and then the music stops for a few ms and then starts again..this happens both with wired headphones and bluetooth ones.
it seems to me that this could depend to the stand by mode...this means that if I start music and leave the telephone on it is fine but if I turn it to stand by mode (switch off screen) it starts doing it.
I have also tried pocketplayer, pocket music and the integrated player and they all act in the same way.
anyone else can confirm this? and if so any solution?
cheers
same issue here!
does this to me too
i just ignore it
Other Players than the HTC one completely stop in Standy.
Test mortplayer or media player if u want.
So do it as u always did on older devices: Turn of Screen instead of tunring device in standby.

I would if I knew how......advice most welcome
bind a key to display switch, or some Players like Mort or Media Player can assign Turn on/off to a button only as long as theay are running.
I use GSPlayer, no such issues here.
I just turn off screen while listening to shoutcasts or local music.
I use GSPlayer too, but I do have the same issue as eroG
Me too
Have the same problem with mine - a UK T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus, purchased 5 days ago.
Does it with HTC audio manager, media player, and pocket player 3.5.1. Definitely not the MP3s as if you re-wind the file the skip isn't there. Tends to happen about once every 3 to 5 minutes and lasts about 100ms. Slightly less annoying than a skipping CD player, but my 2year old Orange SPV C600 and 4year old SPV C500 don't do it so don't see why this should.
Seems to also affect the Tilt - there's a thread on here about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=346407&page=8
Only thing that seems to fix it is a ROM upgrade with a new radio version. Come on T-mobile, sort it out!
Also get stuttering when I push the power button to ender standby, but imagine that's genuine CPU-usage.

thanks for the information. anyway after seeing all the replies mentioning the same issue I started thinking that it had something to do with the phone and
not just me (read bluetooth + phone). anyway I hope that this Radio update becomes available also for us...
or perhaps Tom' rom with wm6.1 does not have this problem...I ll let you know when I update my phone with his rom..unfortunately I ll have to wait until next wednesday as I am abroad for work.

I swapped from the HTC music player to Windows Media Player because of this. It got so bad that my HTC player would stop playing a song right in the middle and I had to restart the song! After switching to Windows Media Player this hasn't been a problem for me.
However, my connection to my BT headset is lost after every phone call which is a real pain.
With Tom's Rom this problem is gone (for me).
I know this thread is quite old already, but didn't want to make a new one. I also experience mp3 glitch on my niki (orange) but the way it happens to me seems to be more in a precise moment of the song rather than once every several minutes. Furthermore it seems not exactly a short pause, but rather a very short fragment of another song from my list playing for less than a second. Interesting thing though: when I copied some of the glitched songs back to my computer, they continued to glitch in the exact same moment. Looks like the phone (or the card maybe?) damaged the files.. It might be a completely different bug, I was wondering what you guys think about it..
After several hours I've figured it. It turned out to be something completely different. Language of the device and windows were different causing difficulties with folder names containing certain symbols. You can ignore this post now.

Music Player Issue

Hi,
My HD2 has developed this strange issue whereby when playing music via the HTC music player...the volume control has stopped controlling the volume and now...changes tracks. I reset it yesterday and it was back to normal, ie pressing the buttons was changing the volume as expected. However this morning its happening again...changing tracks. I dont know if its meant to happen or not...but its annoying having to go back to the main menu just to change the volume. Anybody else getting this?
Thanks,
Hus
Yeah this started happening to me too. I'm sure it was working fine when I first got it but last couple of days when I hit the volume rocker on the side of the phone the volume bar comes up on screen and if I press it again it skips to the next track. Volume rocker does work when the phone is locked though but if you've got the music player open all the volume now does is skip tracks.
I just noticed that with mine too. The volume rocker DID control the volume. Now all it does is skip tracks. Very weird.
Edit: Tried the reset, and it's back to normal. I only noticed this because you mentioned it. Haha.
Soft reset? You didn't do a full hard reset?

I did a soft reset. And it went back to normal. Didn't want to hard reset yet, unless it becomes a major problem.
I reset it, goes back to normal and then reverts back after a little while - its so annoying. Its the annoying little bugs that get to you after a while.
mine is fine for now
i had mine for a week now and never experienced it.though i experienced it on my touch pro 2
Yeah, I keep hitting this issue. Haven't managed to work out whether it is random or whether a certain app is causing it. A soft reset fixes it each time.
Hi -- does anybody experience this problem:
You go to Music and it crashes Sense so it will automatically restart?
This is very annoying and so far soft reset does nothing to avoid it. Perhaps hard reset will do it, but anyone knowing how to resolve this without hard reset pls speak up. I would hate to do hard reset for a second time in a single day
They should name it non-sense instead of sense
Same issue here.Volume buttons change into skip track buttons after a while.

I had that problem on my Touch Diamond (I think - it could have been my Touch HD). It was some dodgy album art that I had on the storage card that was causing the problem. For some reason, the UI just didn't like it. Delete all the album art and let the music tab find it for you itself (or go without).
That may solve the problem.
Hi --
album art was downloaded via HTC audio manager. Interesting enough when you play the same song at shuffle mode it goes without problem. Audio Manager will only freeze at the song if you go to library->album->song.
Very strange issue indeed. Also audio manager crashes by browsing album in landscape mode when it reaches certain album (without even playing song at background). This may mean indeed trouble with album art, but the same behavior is when all album art is deleted and blank (no covers). Audio manager will still crash at the same songs/albums... All tags were edited with mp3tag so nothing disturbing there as well...
Anyone who has the same issue pls share of workaround. I was not able to find solution within this forum and elsewhere on the Internet, perhaps this will be taken care of future ROM development I hope?
I am having huge problem with my Loe
I have 16 GB micro SD card, I have formatted through the phone
anyway I have added about 200 mp3's when I try to play it takes ages to update library then phone become sluggish and gets hot
not happy @ all
thinking changing the phone I can not use my phone as a mp3 player
I got my HD2 today, tried to use the music player on my way home and noticed that whenever I started a playlist playing, if i locked the screen, the music would not continue at the next song once the song that was playing finished. This would only happen if the screen was unlocked. Anyone know a way around this?

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.

Music Problem => The solution

If, like me, you have problems while using your HD2 like a music player... Here is the solution: don't stop the phone...
What I'm telling here is simple: It seems that, when using the poweroff/sleep/red button, the phone goes into sleep a little to deeply to be able to play music. You'll have music break or just stopping at the end of the track.
My solution is to "just" lock the phone (Start => Lock) and then, in the pocket... It will sleep by it-self soon.
Another key feature I was unable to use if I "force sleep" my phone is to change the playing volume... Try by your self and tell me if it helps you too
no problem here playing music after pressing the red button to send to phone to sleep. music plays fine for hours.

Mine works also fine
Sorry for the bump but im having a different issue with the music tab, some1 might know a solution and i didnt feel like adding a new thread for something this 'small'
Well, i just today got my phone, and ive (obviouslly) been playing with it a bit, but something akward has happend, at first, when in the music tab, the side button controled the volume of the music, but now (hell idk what i did) it suddenlly changes the tracks when i press volume up/down.
(btw, did you guys get manuals? i just got a quick start wich doesnt cover half the tabs, including music tab)
I must have pushed something somewhere, but im clueless, anyone know what it could be?
I've never normally noticed any problems playing music with the phone on or in stand-by. Although when its plugged in and charging, FM radio does tend to freeze a few miliseconds every 30 seconds. But on battery power everything is just fine
don't have this problem :S
Actually, about my issue, i solved it, in a way you could say its a audio-plug-bug (like seen before in htc devices) i plugged in the headset and now its volume again, ive tried some stuff like unplugging while playing, on music or other tab, but wasnt able to reproduce yet, strange.

Im also getting pretty loud noise from the radio, whenever it is download emails or stuff. I´ve never had a device that does this before, when reception is low it sound all the time. it´s so poor for a 600 euro device, man. My hero never did this.

I've got no problems playing music and locking device. However, I have the volume key issue and the only thing that fixes it is a soft reset. I haven't been able to work out why it starts changing tracks instead of volume to start with. Anyone got any suggestions?

I had this issue just today, on top of the numerous other issues ive had. I did a soft reset and the volume buttons started behaving again.
However i noticed a different bug with the headphones. When i was listening to music on them and the phone locked, when i tried to unlock it by sliding the lock slider, i found the screen completely unresponsive. Unplug the phones and the screen responded. plug them back in, unresponsive. Maybe unplugging the phones would have solved the volume keys misbehaving as well, as it did for you. i dont think i tried that at the time.
This unit is so full of bugs, i have resigned myself to returning it overseas. A total pain at Xmas.
Man this is getting frustrating! My music player won't play any music from my microSDHC card now. It finds all of my songs, but I can only listen to about 10seconds before it locks up. I see the little circle-thingie in the left corner spinning and as soon as it stops the music player crashes.
same as above
I have the exact same problem as Toss3 above, couldn't describe it better.
It was working fine though, until i added some new folders. It always happens quite early in the song, so i tend to think that it's scanning the library in the background (the circle 'busy' animation) and it's encountering a corrupt file and is crashing (or at least a file the player considers as corrupt, because all those files work fine on my computer or iPod Classic).
So i'm really bothered, any help from you Toss3, if you find the solution, or from anybody else would be very appreciated.

Problem with my media player volume.

My media player volume keeps increasing and decreasing randomly and this is extremely irritating while listening to music. The only solution, albeit a temporary one, is to restart the phone every time this happens. But its just a matter of time before it starts randomly fluctuating again. Is there any solution for this?
Hi.
Maybe the problem is that your audio sources have different volume levels. In this case you should look for an app that use something called ReplayGain. I think Poweramp use it. I don't know about others...
Edit: just adding a link which explain it better than me maybe
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReplayGain
I had this problem on my 6P also. This just suddendly came after 2 weeks running on stock without any updates or anything. 1 week later still on same stock it got even worse. The fysical volume buttons stopped responding and I where only able to regulate the volume through software.
I then desided to f*ck the stock, root and use cyanogenmod/lineageOS roms instead and none of the problems have returned. The problems could maybe have been resolved just with a normal factory reset ? But overall the phone runs smoother and better than stock.
