HTC Music player randomly skipping music - HD2 General

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.

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.

[REQ] Pause TF3D music player when headphones unplugged

It occurs to me that it might be useful to have a program that will automatically pause the TF3D music player whenever the headphones are unplugged from the phone. This would help prevent unfortunate occurrences like your headphones being unplugged accidentally and the whole subway car hearing your music blaring!
Would this be difficult to implement as an application that runs in the background?
i vote for that too
hmmm .. I don't use the cable headphones... I have bluetooth...
and when I turn my headset off.. the music stops by itself...
I haven't tested the cable headphones since a bought the phone... but shouldn't it be the same??
Unfortunately, nope. When you unplug the headphones that come with the phone, it switches over to using the phone's built-in speaker instead.

I don't know if it is differend on Diamond, I Have Touch Pro.
But when i unplug headphones when device has display turned off it pauses and when I have display turned on it doesn't. I find it perfectly OK. Have you tried it that way ?
Weird! It doesn't do that for me. In fact, if I unplug the headphones, it wakes the Diamond up again and switches to the speaker. But if I press the power button to turn the screen off again, it pauses the music.
My diamond does exactly what you asked for, but i didnt install any tools. It is a built-in feature.
my diamond does that too, but only when the screen is off
are you using a old rom?
Weird... I'm using the stock Telus ROM (don't want to void my warranty), and it doesn't do it. Is there a registry setting that controls it, maybe?
Just confirmed the behavior on the GSM Touch Pro - when you pull the headphones out and the screen is on the sound goes through the speaker, but when the screen is off it pauses the music.
Surur
Sim Free TP here, and as the above TP owner's have posted, screen off, plug comes out (due to naff case not taking plug all the way) handset is as quiet as a Royal British Legion!
Drove me mad until I read this thread!
No pausing on Diamond2
Hi
My Diamond2 with the newest official HTC rom doesn't pause. I would really like it to do so bot when screen is off and on. Tried this plugin (http://www.fuzemobility.com/remove-headset-to-pause-tf3d-music/) for Diamond but it doesn't seem to work :-( Anybody found a way to solve this?
Cheers!

Phone frezzing after disconnecting from radio

Hi guys,
When i have been listening to the regular FM radio on the HD2 and i remove my headphones (not exiting form the radio player itself), there is a count down from 60 seconds to exit the player.
If I leave it (i.e. im in a rush and just quickly take my headphones out and forget to disconnect from the player), when i next make or receive a call the phone freezes!
I have to remove the battery and restart.
has anyone else experienced this problem?
What is the solution?
Seems like a software bug to me!
Many thanks
from the threads I have seen the FM Radio is a waste of time on the HD2 (Crap) try a different Radio loads on here
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
tried a couple on there and they seem to not be working on the HD2!
I don't particularly want to connect to internet each time when i listen to the radio.
Also this may only be masking a deeper issue with the software on this phone?

[Q] Odd music player problem

My wife's car radio has an auxiliary input we use to listen to audio from various devices, it works great for turn by turn, music or whatever from our phones. I don't have such an option in my vehicle but i do have in dash cd and cassette. Today i grabbed a cheap 3.5mm to cassette adapter from an auto parts store to get similar functionality in my vehicle. Every thing works as expected, except the HTC music player (the one you access from the home tabs).
When I play music through the player i hear about 1 sec of audio and then my phone restarts!. This does not happen with headphones or in my wifes car when plugged into the auxiliary input. This does not happen using TCPMP, Windows media player, bing, or talking on the phone. It only occurs using the htc player.
Just curious what could be causing this?
Tmous HTC HD2
Cookie Energy ROM
Radio 2.10.50.26
its probably getting a power spike back up the cable which is tripping out the phone.
On a pc, you can quite often cause the whole thing to lock up by pulling out the speaker jack if you have powered speakers.
No suggestions for a fix tho, sorry.

thanks for responding and I agree, although I didn't have a problem plugging into my pc mic or input. But wouldn't it happen in other players/apps too? And would plugging in the phone then inserting the cassette or vice-versa make a difference? Not really a big deal, as i won't be using the setup often, just got me thinking...
heh, who knows the whys and wherefores of these types of bugs, , try plugging it all together with the phone off, then power on last, see if it makes a difference, , just for testing purposes, see what happens.
Phones like this can be more sensitive to that type of thing in general (and PC's too), especially with regards to audio jacks. My suggestion would be to try a better quality cassette adapter. I suspect too that even if the one you have now didn't cause this problem, the audio played through it would have a noticible hum or hiss in the background.

hd2 3,5 jack problem

Hi guys, i have an hd2 with nand android, and i have a problem when i plug in the aux cable or earphones: the phone during the play of a track sometimes changes automatically the song or it restart the song a lot of time without that i touch the phone. I already had the plug in problem too when i had wm 6.5 on the phone, but the problem were not the "music shuffling", but the problem were that the phone autodialed the last number called by me.
Someone has the same issue? Any solutions?
I've had audio jack problems as well.
I use a mp3 player from the Android Market called Tiny Player.
Occasionally while playing songs in Tiny Player through headphones or an FM transmitter, the Android music player will start up and begin playing a random song while Tiny Player is still playing.
It must be something about the way that the audio jack is designed to work with the HTC headphones that have the in-line mic built into them for calling. Some regular headphones must be causing a connection to be made which makes the phone think that a button on the HTC headphones has been pressed.
I can usually solve this problem by unplugging and re-plugging the headphones, or turning the plugh in the jack a little bit.
this has come up fairly often over the yrs, to a greater or lesser extent. I have a pair of senheissers which do exactly what you describe, but only on winmo roms. My other phones (tested four or five pairs, cheap and expensive) all work fine. the senheissers work fine on wp7 and android.
Odly enough two (that i can think of) other threads like this also mentioned senheisers, , , what you using, OP?
@samsamuel: i'm using android MIUI.
@huggs: sometimes i do like you, i unplug and replug the cable to solve the problem, but i want to permanently solve this problem, even at the cost of replacing the input jack, you say that it solves?
Its also worth removing the battery and then looking into the jack to see it there is any debris in there, remove with a pin
Same problem, except my Android powered HD2 also likes to randomly dial the last person I talked to when I have the headphones connected. These are the original HTC phones that came with the device. Today it managed to leave my boss eight voicemails. Nice. Fortunately, my boss has a sense of humor and it'll probably be OK. What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
I have a problem with 3.5 mm jack. When I turn on the headset, the phone restarts. And the problem is not with all handsets
I think I found a fix for misbehaving headphones:

If anyone has used this please comment.
@imrazor : Thank you very much, I'm using it for two days and since I installed it I've had no problems.
