Thanx in advance for you time.
I just got my Imagio last weekend. I didn't flash it to any roms or anything yet, because I kind of like it like it is right now. The only thing is, I downloaded a movie in mp4 format and put it on my phone and here's what happens:
I play the movie. (It plays nicely.)
Something happens that I have to pause the movie. (Be it a call or knock at the door or what ever)
I come back to my phone and play the movie from where it left off.
But now, every 5 seconds almost exactly the navigation (Play, pause, stop, forward, etc) bar comes up as if I touched the screen.
It goes away and comes up again in 5 more seconds.
It does this through out the rest of the movie.
Any idea on how to stop this? (or maybe suggest a player I can download?)
I really didn't want to switch roms yet.
Thanks in advance to all da uba leet intel of the XDA Developers
try loading the video from file explorer and see if it does the same problem. that was my fix.
Results
Yes I tried it that way first then the other way (through the album tab) and still the same result.
It only does it if I ever pause it once. Then it (the navigation bar) comes up over and over all throughout the movie. =\
Thanx everyone for your time and answers. XD
Happens to me too. Hope someone comes up with a solution.
Same problem here. But when playing back video from the camera.. no problem.
what video framerate are your videos at. When my videos were at 25, this problem would happen.
when I set them to 15, it would be fine.
I am going to try a video at 24 and see if it still happens, will let you all know
This issue is just downright annoying. Has anyone come up with a solution as of yet?
I noticed it only happens with H-264 movies not with regular mp4 movies bitrate and framerate didnt really matter
any fix yet
any help
maybe a better wvga htc fullscreen player cab
any help updated roms have similar issues
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.

same here
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.

Had the same problem yesterday, will give you're fix a try
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.
Anyone ever have this problem, where the music player will stop or skip after you close the screen. It only happens when i put it my sweater pocket on both right and left sides. It had just started doing it and never did it like this before. I even tried restarting the phone to no avail.
Its the 'feature' of using the accelerometer to skip and rewind a track. Terrible feature in my opinion since I have yet to figure out how to disable it. Put it in your car, hit some bumpy road and have it flat on your seat and it will drive you nuts with skips, rewinds, and at times utter silence as it jumps from track to track.
If anyone knows how to turn off the feature on the music player, I'd be grateful.
Hmmm, thats what i thought was going on. However it never happened before that I can recall, I feel like i did "something" to enable it because i use advanced task manager to disable programs that i dont use, and i think i remember it hapening after a disable session.
Hey guys, first off I will say I am very impressed with wp7 so far. I have one complaint/issue with my Focus and was wondering if anyone else has run into it. Now, I could just be an idiot, but I have no sound when playing music through the zune interface on my phone. I used the 14 day free trial to download some music from zune to test it out on my phone, would that make a difference? It shows that all the music is on my device, and when I hit play the song progress bar is moving as if it's playing, there's just no sound. Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I don’t mean to be mean but did you turn the volume up from the left side vol button?
Tried It!
Haha yes, I tried the volume. Both through the headphones when plugged in as well as through the device itself with no headphones plugged in. No Sound!
You may want to try using it on a different set of headphones or other line-in. It could be faulty headphones, but if it's not, you at least ruled that out and can start looking towards software settings or possibly faulty hardware.
That said, has anyone had any luck using their zune pass on their phone? I'm not sure if there's a certain place to use the streaming feature, but every song I've searched for and tried to stream is only a 30 second preview.
Earphones
The earphones are definitely good. Used them on other devices ok and they work with everything else on the phone (slacker, web, fm radio, sounds, etc.). The phone audio works for everything else as well, it's just in the Zune hub itself that no sound plays. Like I said, it gives me the track time, title, and other info, every indication it's playing, but it just doesnt make a noise haha. Zune works on my computer fine with all the downloaded audio as well. does everyone else's device have loudspeaker sound if they just hit play on a song in the zune hub?
Does the phone work for taking / making voice calls or in apps that can produce sound?
Yeah, the sound works perfect everywhere else. In call, in call with headphones, games/apps from marketplace, etc. It's literally just the zune hub. That's why I'm wondering if it's something stupid like a setting im missing, or a could it have anything to do with the fact that I have a trial zune membership?
Frustrating to say the least.
You could try factory resetting your phone. Settings -> About -> Reset. It will wipe you phone clean though.

You have to hold down on the song to get the download option. Had to look that one up too.

Or hit the 'play symbol' (circle with sideways triangle) next to an album or playlist or song and it will stream with out downloading to phone.
I'm having sounds problems too, but I can hear the music. I have to turn the volume up to at least 14 to barely hear it. I've tried multiple headsets, same problem. My normal listening level is 20-23, and I can still hear people talking around me, so I know it's not that I'm trying to blast it...I stopped blasting my music 20 years ago - trying have some hearing left for the future ;-)
Stuttering!
Somtimes I hear stuttering at the end of songs, especially Zune pass songs. Does this happen anybody else?
I get this audio problem too intermittently. A reboot of the phone fixes it. Do a long hold of the power button, and then another long hold when its powered down. So I assume its a software issue. Anyone figure out whats causing it?

Yes, I've had it too.
Try this to test your audio:
Dial ##634# and press Call
Dial *#0289#
You should now be able to run through a few audio tests that will at least let you figure out if the hardware is functioning properly.
same problem here. happen to me alot, today it did it at least 2 times, i have to turn off the phone to make it work again...
When I'm playing music, other music will suddenly cut in. I thought the problem was WinAmp, so I uninstalled / changed players, but the problem persists (now using UberMusic) .... any ideas???
I've checked currently running tasks and couldn't spot any suspects....
Vibrant KA6
thanks in advance.
Its probably your headphones. If there is a short in the wire your phone thinks you hit play/pause, and your samsung music player starts up. That's my guess.

thanks, but no; happens regardless of cord. I regularly use three seperate ones (connecting car, stereo and headphones). Just to be clear - one song is playing, then half way through another song cuts in and plays over the top - no pause at all.
I had a similar issue, but my music would just start randomly playing at any time. Sometimes just randomly, while locked and in my pocket, and it happened a few times for some reason when I opened up facebook. It's always one of the mp3's I have saved on my phone, and always the first in the playlist, like it was actually selected. I also couldnt get it to stop. It would either randomly stop on it's own or I'd have to turn the phone off. Opening up the media player didnt do anything at all. Hasn't happened in a couple months and I didn't do anything to fix it. Hope someone has an answer.
I get the same issue with mine. For me it happens most of the time with Google Music. If I press the play button from the lock screen, sometimes just clicking next on the music controls in the notification tray, and sometimes just randomly.
When I pull up Google Music, it will usually have whatever song is playing, but it will be shown as not playing. Sometimes pressing play, then pause will stop it. Other times, the only way to stop it is to let it play the song through or reboot my phone. Even ending the Google Music app from the Task Manager doesn't stop it.
Hopefully someone knows some more information on a fix for this.
P.S. This happens despite what headphones/cord I plug into the phone.
Try Headset Blocker in the app market...it's free and solved the problem for me...there are a few others but I don't remember the names

Now that I think about it, you're absolutely correct - this only happens with mp3's that I've downloaded and are stored on the phone mem ... perhaps it's one of the download programs. I often use GTunes, which has an inbuilt player ... I reckon it's possible that it's stuffing me around.
@chronos7 nothing to do with headset controls... as mentioned, happens even with a cord going straight into an amplifier.
just updated to the new version of gtunes, called gpod. Will report back after some listening
I had that problem with either WinAmp or DoubleTwist. Both are uninstalled now and I haven't seen the problem in a while.
It was quite annoying.. whenever I would disconnect the car bluetooth it would start playing.

didn't help ... sigh.
Extra info: it switches back to the original song sometimes. So, playing song a, song b cuts in for about 20 seconds, then switches back to song a. No pauses.
Try the headset blocker and see if that fixes the problem...I had the exact same issues and this solved the problem about 6 months ago and I haven't had the problem since...just try it and if it doesn't work then it's was free anyway but trust me it will work...
thanks Chronos, tried it, but no, didn't help.
Here's the fu**ing weird thing: i just copied all my music from my sd card to my pc. I then played some music with windows media player......... THE SAME THING HAPPENED! In the middle of a song another song jumped in for 15 seconds and then buggered off. Note that WMP never acknowledged any change, i.e. kept showing song a even when song b had cut in.
WTF? Corrupted files??
If it does the same thing on your PC it's not the phone, it's the MP3 file. Download from a different source. Some people still have trouble ripping/converting music so you get garbage/incomplete MP3 files sometimes.

I agree after some experimentation, but the problem originated on the phone itself. I can see this is the case because song a is polluted with song b and c, where both b and c are present on my phone and are completely unrelated to song a. I just encountered a Joy Division song with chunks of Prince and something else completely alien, but still all are my songs, not just ones that would have been inserted during the encoding process .... I wonder what program did this. I still think gtunes is a candidate, but have no evidence at all, except that in the aforementioned case all three songs were downloaded via gtunes.
