hey everyone, i just got my blackstone yesterday and after uploading songs both through sync and manually into the storage card, my songs always freezes once i have an amount of about 50 or more. is this the stock firmware problem? is there a way to fix this?
I had that problem too, songs I dragged to the storage card would just stop after a few seconds of playing in AudioManager, or not play at all.
For me it worked better after I started to sync all songs through active sync and media player. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I also just synced about 10 songs at a time and didn't have the audio manager tab open. Because I was scared it would happen again, I didn't put more then 500mb of songs on the storage card yet.
The storage card included with the phone is class2. I wonder, will a class 6 storage card solve these kind of problems better?
Also I wonder, would it help to make a back-up of the AudioManager_Eng.vol after syncing all the songs?
I used to get this on the bog standard crappy Orange ROM that came with the device. It would be fine until I loaded in Santogold by Santogold. Nothing would load after that and if you tried to play anything, it'd freeze up and I'd get an audio manager error or something. In the end, I entered the world of ROM flashing. Has made the phone more usable for sure.
I have the same problem. However, the problem doesn't occur if I bypass the touchflo music interface and use the Windows Media Player that came with it.

Gday All,
Hope someone can help me...

Ive just finished syncin' my tunes using Windows media player, and for some reason now, when i try and play the music on the phone, it comes up with the following message:
"A problem has occurred with AudioManager_eng.exe"
If i leave the phone long enough, it does actually load a few tunes, but not all of them, although when i go into album, they all appear to be there... Can anyone shed some light on this rather annoying problem...?
Thanx guys

HD2 Audio Manager
Well, i have finally managed to sort this rather annoying problem out.
And it works...!!! (Bloody miracle...lol)..
This is what i did, to stop the audio manager from "hanging" every couple of minutes...and giving the "a problem has occurred with audiomanager_eng.exe"
1. Deleted all the music from the sd card
2. reformattted the sd card (back up first)
3. installed mp3tag on my laptop
4. Then went thru my music and assigned a new tag to each album (didnt take that long really about 2 hours)
5. Then installed back onto the sd card
Then the music will paly perfectly, without stalling, hanging, crashing etc.
I think its something to do with the music tags that stops the music player/audio manager from working properly....
I have successfully being using the music for a while now, with no issues....
WOO BLOODY HOO...!!!
I have an HD2 running a recent version of Energy ROM. Everything is working fine, unless I try to put some music on the SD card. I have about 7.5 GB of music I want to put on there but every time I do the phone starts having random freezes. I though it might be the phone trying to index the music and knowing that the default card that comes with the phone is not very fast I went and bought a class 6 card as a replacement, but the problem persists. Anyone have any fixes/suggestions?

That can be caused by many things. First 2 I would check is make sure the folder structure is right Artist name/album/Mp3 & art if that is right I would check to make sure your mp3 tags are right. A search will lead you to a program to check your ID3 tags.
i had the same problem with music on my hd2, the way i fixed mine was to flash the evo rom on to it and the problem has never come back.
Hey guys I've read about another serious issue plaguing the Vibrant and unfortunately it has been affecting mine too. It's with the Music player. Every time I play a song, there's a lag or a stutter in the song.
Regardless of what song is playing, there's a serious stutter, and it takes away from the music experience.
At this point I'm ready to refund this baby back to bell and unfortunately am considering the Iphone.
I really don't want to but the phone is kinda laggy and with the gps + stuttering problem it's getting quite annoying.
Anyone else have this experience while listening to music? Or is it just mine? It's unfortunate cause the screen is quite nice and responsive at times.
It just seems like Samsung hasn't really fixed any of the bugs plaguing the phone.
What are the specifics on your media? Bitrate/encoder/file type? Are you playing off the internal or external sd?
The encoders are all across the platforms. I have .mp3's to .Wma's. Every song has a time where it stutters.
When I had my g1 this stutter and pause in the music happens when I recieved a text message.
It's just a really fast little pause and it really disturbs the music.
I'm using internal memory.
Same problem here . . .
I am using the internal SD card as well
mp3s
196kbps fixed
44.1 khz
basically as vanilla as you can get. . .
I tried airplane mode, just in case it was a sync issue, no luck
I just put a few songs on the 2gb sd card that came with the phone and I tried to play a song and the screen went black and my touch sensitive buttons were light up lol and it restarted itself.
Going back to my Zune HD/iPod lol. oh well. When it comes to media the iPhone takes the cake. Android is more nerdy and customizable.
Doesn't bother me too much. I would have personally like to have an all in one device but dont have the money for ATT's plan and prefer androids customization over iPhones.

The Galaxy S Vibrant is supposed to be the best android phone for music on the market. Why should you cough up the dough and then go back to listening on another player?
It's not right. I'm beginning to think it's a software issue.
I've had no problems at all with the music player. Music in mp3 format at 320kbs.

I have about 8GB of MP3, WMA and 4GB of FLAC songs on a class 4 microSD card. I don't have any issue as you describe. Try to reset your phone first.
iPhone and Zune only play few formats. Drag and drop FTW. What a PITA when I have you sync everything to my iPhone using that stupid iTunes. To be able to play my song/movie without converting it to another format FTW too.
Ive noticed this issue as well. The best way to describe it, is like a cd skipping real fast. It's less than a second long, and it's literally a skip in playback.
I initially suspected it was a small lag spike from the screen shutting off, but Ive had it happen twice in a row after the screen is already off.
There must be some process running in the background that is causing this to happen, because it's totally random. It does happen after the screen shuts off though.
I've been using mine with a class 2 card and about 14 gb of music of mostly mp3s. I get an _occasional_ skip but nothing more than I would get with any other music player. Haven't noticed anything else going on at the same time though.
I think it's your device, though IMO if that's enough to make you want an iphone then you're probably missing the point of android in the first place.
This happen to me too. The stock music player. Though, I have no problem with other music player apps eg. 3(cube), mixzing.
It's likely to be a widget. For me it was Gauge Battery.
Im not getting any type of stuttering.... This plays music flawlessly...
Theres got to be something going on with your device. Also I would have heard about this issue alot more if everyone was experiencing it...

Agreed. I don't have this problem either or have never noticed it. The only time I noticed skipping, it was a singular song I had on the device. Not a random occurrence as explained.
That makes issue 3 for the Vibrant that I don't have

The same goes for me. No problems with any other music player only the stock. It's not even close to bad enough to switch from this device only happens once every so often.
Ok tried simply music app and playing from a class 6 card. Still getting the stutter. I am using beautiful widget weather app, will disable it and try again. . .

I have about 5G of music from itunes on my vibrant. I used isync app from the market to get the music from my itunes to my phone, I have had the phone 3 weeks and have experienced ZERO lag, stutter, or skipping...but my uncle who got the phone the same day from the store (i received mine through mail) had the same problem with the stock player. I think its because he used widows media player.

I have the studder issue. Uploaded through windows media player. It seems to happen when i load the first song, and happens more if I'm listening to music while I search through the the music lists. When the screen is inactive it works perfectly unless its the first song. I have almost 8 gigs of music
It was the weather widget that was causing the problem, thanks heygrl.

Sorry for hijacking kinda
but I am about to retry it once again. I don't have a SD card other than the 2gb that came with the phone should I put the music on the phones internal and see if I get studdering again?
For some reason recently anytime I play music through my bluetooth car audio tracks will start skipping. I dont mean skip tracks like from song 1 to song 2. I mean more in the sense like the music gets garbled and loses time.
My music is stored on my sandisk 64 gb sd card. Ive read that these have a high failure rate.
It wouldnt make sense either though because when my music was stored on my internal memory, i remember it happening as well just not as often
But the wierd thing is, it happens sometimes, other times it wont happen.
Could it be my ROM? Im on hyperdrive 6 at the moment.
Any info is appreciated.
Same issue for me. I used several BT devices just fine but had Isimply BT installed in car and it's doing what you described. Can't figure it out.

After researching this it appears to be a generic issue with Jellybean that affects various devices. Google implemented most (if not all of the bluetooth stack) in 4.3, so it seems like they unintentionally introduced this bug in the process.
There are a few workarounds you can do that helped my EVO LTE with this (which is running 4.3). Disable WIFI and if possible, keep the device from going to the lock screen with something like NoLock.
More info.
I am running clean rom. I stream music in my car everyday and havent ever had this problem. Maybe try his rom if you are rooted
