So, I have noticed an issue. I am on Kumar's Classic ROM, which I LOVE, but I am pretty sure this happened on the stock ROM as well...
Here is the issue and use environment: I keep my music on the SD Card, and I play it through the music tab. Everything is fine generally speaking. It finds the music after a few seconds on a fresh boot, reads the files and plays them fine. That is when the device is on/screen displayed. I have noticed that a lot of them time, as soon as the screen locks, the music will pause every 5-10 seconds, stay that way for about 1 second, then continue playing... over and over. As soon as I unlock the screen, it is back to normal, then when I lock it, the issue returns. It even did this a little while streaming Slacker yesterday, then cleared up after a while.
I can't figure out what would cause this. I have also noticed that movies on the SD will play fine for e a while, then the video will lag while the audio is fine, and then the video will play at like 3-4x to catch up to the audio...
Odd issues, and I'm hoping someone here has an easy fix for me. I did a search and didn't see anything...
Have you ever reformatted the card since getting it? That might be a good place to start. Also, if you have another usable card handy, just to put some music on and test with, it'll help pinpoint if the issue is the card or the phone at least.
Good idea, thx...
I had similar issues with other music programs and video programs too. Not the stock ones. Pretty much what seemed to be happening is when the phone went to sleep it cut off its connection using up its buffer then stopping. Then when I woke it up it would start playing again. Best solution I have found was to just use mortplayer. This seems to love the HD2. I will get about .01 second skip when it locks, and then when it sleeps but pretty much doesn't miss a beat. I always listen to streaming radio too so that may be an issue of mine. Since your running music off a sd card and the stock HD2 sim cards are supposed to suck you may wanna try a different card to test it.
this happened to me when i set the lockscreen to show the animated arrows. It seems it animates them every few seconds even when the screen is off.
Disabled them again and it was fixed.
Been editing the lockscreen? or installed a new lockscreen recently?
I'll try both of those suggestions, thanks guys!
I would really like to keep using the sense music player though, as I like it a lot. This also seems to happen in Slacker too...
How do I disable the arrows?
No playing with the lock screen. Only the stock one, or any edits that come with cooked ROMs. However, this has been happening through multiple ROMs, and with hard resets each time...

not the arrows then, , something running in teh background, that the phone is having to ramp up the processor to perform.
Dunno what to suggest, sorry, maybe something installed to sd card, that is making the music pause when read? does it do it when the mp3 is on main memory?
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?
In the past month or so I have been experiencing stuttering in music being played back from my Samsung Focus. The first time I experienced this was on a plane ride. After playing for about 10 minutes the current track would begin to stutter and eventually stop altogether. If I left the device alone for about 10 seconds the music would begin to play sometimes; however, the device would hang causing me to have to reset the device (power cycle).
This also happens while sitting at my desk at work, while in the car (using the aux connection) and while in the gym.
I was wondering if this is a pervasive issue, or whether my experience is a one-off.
As background information, the music I am playing is synced music (not streaming tracks) and the stuttering never happens with podcasts.
Thanks and Happy New Year.
Do you have a sd card installed?
If you have an SD Card installed yes, I've seen this.
One thing that you might wish to try as I've been looking to see if others are seeing the same pattern is if you do have an SD Card installed; try playing back Music or Video with the Focus Plugged/Charging vs Unplugged/On Battery. My personal experience is that when using external power I don't have any issues but on battery the issues will increase as the battery drains down.
No sd card here and this happens to me all the time. It's rather annoying. I don't remember where but im pretty sure that i read the Microsoft has been able to recreate this bug and plans to fix it.
I don't have an SD card installed and never have.
I was considering a hard reset today to see if it solves the problem. I did note; however, if I play the music through the rear speaker (no headphones plugged in), then the stuttering does not happen.
Bizarre.

I just started experiencing this while using it on a plane. I have an SD card installed, but that doesn't seem to make a difference if the above posters are also having issues. I've found that turning the screen on gets the music playing again. You don't even have to unlock it, just turn it on and it goes. One time I had the full-on lockup and had to reset.
Just wanted to let everyone know that I came across this discussion:

It appears that MS are aware of this issue.

Good Morning,
So, the problem continue to grow until the phone would barely get through a whole song before completely freezing up requiring a soft reset.
So, over the last few days I have completed a hard reset and have slowly added applications to see whether it was any particular app. Obviously, this is anecdotal evidence and cannot be considered absolute. Alternative issues could be memory management (fragmentation, etc.), or some other app:OS interaction.
After the hard reset I completed my account information so I could continue to use my mobile for business and added my entire music collection from zune - approxiamtely 1 GB. I played music for 2 hours with no stuttering, etc.
Second day - I added weather bug (love the app) and played music all day with no stuttering, etc.
Third day, added pdf reader, played music with no stuttering, etc.
Fourth day added shazam (no music playback issues) then added xbox extras (no music playback issues), added Crackdown 2....played the game.....had slight stuttering issues on every fourth or fifth piece of music played.
I've stopped at this point to see whether the issue becomes more common.
Hopefully this helps the community determine the cause, if any.

I had this issue the other day when I was listening to the music through my headphones while at work.. it would randomly cut out every other song or so. I would push the pause/play button on the headset and it would start up again. After I turned the phone off and on again it stopped doing it and haven't had the problem since
Hello everyone,
I have a vm intercept that i use as my primary mp3 player and for car audio through aux input. Lately the music has started freezing/skipping atleast 5 times per song. Even tho the music freezes for fraction of a second, it is still annoying the heck out of me.
I asked dr. google for help and apparently many other people on some other phones also have the same issue. Can anybody suggest what to do to get rid of this issue please? Thanks

I have the same problem while riding the subway. I finally realized that it happens every time I gain or lose a signal. This happens frequently when riding the subway. The only fix I know of is to turn on airplane mode. Obviously not a good solution if you need to have your phone working while listening, but it works for me in the subways since I can't realistically use my phone anyway (I just get flickers of signal).
I just got my Virgin Mobile Intercept last weekend. Used it yesterday w/ the audible.com app and the aux port in my car, no problems. Plugged the phone into the wall last night (in a power strip) and had the stutter issue today.
Only thing I've done to the phone is inxane's recovery (Android ver: 2.1-update 1). Tried 4 microsd cards (2 8gb sdhc, the 2gb sd that came with it and another 2gb I had), mp3 & tunein radio have the same problem. Calls are fine though.
Tried uninstalling audible and deleting folder from sd card, rebooted phone twice. Yesterday evening I did notice that the Notifications bar wouldn't pull down, but after the first restart this morning everything but playback was fine. Second restart I left the phone off for 10 minutes.
The lady I was talking with at audible heard what it was doing and was on the line while I tried mp3 & tunein, her suggestion, which is what I'm probably going to have to do, was to return the phone and get it exchanged.
EDIT:
Just did the factory reset in inxane recovery, tried the mp3 from my sdcard, same issue.
Try flashing a new kernel. I had inxane's from one of the rooting tutorials. From irc I found that the newest version of his recovery is much better, and that vampirefo's kernel w/ /system as ext2 and /data /cache as ext4 is really nice.
I did those things and my playback is fixed.
Cos im now storing all my music on my SD card, when i turn off or reboot my phone, poweramp losses all of my playlists and music.
Anyone now a way to fix This?
It's happened before when I had the S4 and any phone where as card is storing music.
Never on my S6 which was all internal.
That sounds bizarre. I have the same combination, music on SD and Poweramp and have no such issues. I would say it's your memory card playing up. Maybe try a different one? I have a Samsung EVO Plus and it's working great.

Have you turned phone off and on etc?
It always has happened in past to me and again yesterday.
I'll be buying a bigger storage card shortly so will see then if still doing.
Yes, no matter what I do the music and play lists remain. To rule out a software bug have you tried another music player? I love Poweramp but use it alongside a different player. I can recommend Pi Music Player. If that works fine then it could be an issue with your Poweramp.
I think it's likely to be the SD card though. Maybe try something like this, fast and not that expensive.
