Sense Music Player problems

Hey all,
Everytime i plug my headphones in, the song im currently playing will skip at random.It works fine when im using the speakers though.
Same thing happens on Windows Media Player.
Nitrogen and pocketplayer seem to work fine though.
Anybody else have this issue?
And are there any solutions?

I indeed have the same problem but found no solution, also sometimes start playing randomly while I don't use Sense, very annoying if I'm using Nitrogen

I've even noticed this happen in Sense sometimes, not sure whats causing it, its very annoying.

I think I have the same problem as you guys. I think I may have fixed it by disabling the auto devicelock feature. I only tried this a couple of hours ago, but so far it has completely solved the problem for me. If you would like to try it, change the value of HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0 then soft reset. I found I can still lock the device manually without problems.

Hey thanks!
It seems to have worked, for now.
I'll report back in a few days.

Crap, the problem still persists.I guess i'll just stick to nitrogen...

Music and Video player "skips"

For some reason my music and video players "skip". It's not really skipping, just kinda pausing for a millisecond, like there isn't enough memory to run it. I know there is, so why is it doing this?
Anyone else with this issue?

i have not noticed this. Are you using the stock players?

It does it weather I use the stock players or cubed or act 1. Doesn't matter which player, it still seems to happen anyway...

yup same thing happens to mine...im going to do a factory reset and then transfer my music album by album (as appose to dumping all albums at once) and if it continues I'm exchanging my Vibe for another at the t-mobile store.....but if anyone had any info plz let me know...is there a fix?...

I've noticed this on occasion as well but wasn't sure if they were just bad mp3s.

Yeah, if it's happening on 3 different apps, that is very odd.
Curious, on an app like neocore, what was your fps?

Anyone else experience this? this is kind of a bigy for me

Okay, I've determined that it's an app causing it. I uninstalled everything but 3 or 4 apps and the problem has ceased. I'll have to reinstall them one at a time to determine which was causing it, but when I do I'll let you know.

When you do, will you pm me? Would love to add it to the sticky to prevent others from having an issue.
Why the need for so many players?

I was just experimenting with Cubed, I like the stock player just fine, and act 1 plays more formats and has more options than the stock video player, been using that since my G1.
Anyway, I uninstalled everything but compass, txtpad lite and xda and the problem appears to have ceased. I've now reinstalled HTC ime mod but haven't tested the player yet.

The stock video player has played everything for me so far... pretty impressed.
Have you tried RockPlayer?

noticed the skip issue when i installed the music mod from the N1 CM5 build. made things really buggy and it 'skipped' a lot. not sure if it was related to the random freezes that required a battery pull, but that and lots of problems started after i installed music mod. once i factory reset they went away.

Are you listening to this using bluetooth stereo? If so, turn off your wifi.

I continue having this problem when listening to music through a the 3.5 mm cable (like using headphones or when i have a two way 3.5mm plug that i hook up to my car)...any one else having this problem?.. but it doesnt seem to have a problem when on speaker...couldnt run the most elaborate test but it didnt skip through the two songs that i tested

Well, it would seem that both of these apps cause this "skipping" problem:
Weather and toggle widgets
Turtle photoframe
Both are widgets, and every time I uninstall them the problem seems to go away. Maybe its just certain widgets or a problem with touchwiz causing this. I'll keep testing.

i also am experiencing this problem. it not only happens when playing music from the sd card or device, but even on pandora i notice it skipping in the same manner it does when playing mp3s.

[Q] Problem with spotify

Hello everyone, hope this is in the right place. So I recently started using slimkat, and everything has been going fine except for this problem that im having. I downloaded spotify but I have had problems when using it, since it only plays the song when im on the android homescreen. when i open spotify it stops, or if i pull down the notifications bar, pretty much anything thats not the homescreen of android makes it stop playing music, only to resume when going back to the homescreen. I thought it was something to do with the rom not being compatible or something, but today when I was using it it was working fine, used different apps while listening to music, locked the phone and still played music just fine. but later I had the same problem. now, testing a bit I realized that this is only happening when I've ot headphone plugged in. when they are not plugged in I can go into any app and not have problems. but when I plug them in again, I can only hear music when in the homescreen (note, the one time that everything was working fine I was using headphones).
Has anyone had something similar happen? is this a known problem? is it spotify ot the rom? I am using slimkat build 3.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

Came across thread with the same issue. Seems to be related to my Google now home screen. If I go back to trebuchet it fixes it

Really annoying bluetooth problems on N6P

Okay so I'm gonna describe my problem as clearly as possible and will hope someone can find a fix for this.
Device: Nexus 6P
OS: Android 6.0.1 (latest vendor & security patch - June 2016)
Bluetooth devices used: Sony MDR 600BT, SOL republic tracks air, jbl synchros earphones, jbl flip 2 speaker.
1) pair earphones/speakers
2) start playing music on earphones/speakers
3) works fine on first run and when screen is off
4) when I switch on my screen to change the song the music stutters for 10 full seconds, then stuttering stops.
5) I change the song and again put screen off, works fine.
6) i put my phone in my pocket and suddenly my phone audio stops skipping??? Wtf???
7) so I change my pocket and put it in my hoodie pocket. (Nearer to earphones - maybe distance is the problem I thought)
8) audio still skips............:crying:
9) put my screen on to change song, audio starts stuttering again like crazy and then stops.
10) I request anyone here to heed this request and tell me how to workaround this problem
Currently running latest android MM 6.0.1 and no improvement .....:crying:
I don't understand one thing - top of the line flagship device and still these problems? Not getting value for my hard earned money. This is wrong.
I tried it with my iPod and it works like a charm. No stutters. No skips. Nothing.
Tried different Bluetooth headphones too in case my Sony earphones were the problem. NO IMPROVEMENT SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS.
TRIED USING IT ON ANY BLUETOOTH SPEAKER THE ABOVE THINGS KEEP HAPPENING AND I AM GETTING REALLY ANNOYED WITH THIS PHONE WHEN IT COMES TO BLUETOOTH.
I'm sorry for agonizing so much. But I hope you'll can understand my problem. And hopefully there's a fix somewhere in the world.

I am having the same issue, and my searches came up with this:

Is this a Play Music issue? I don't have these issues, but I don't use Play Music. usually stream through YouTube or something like that instead. Works on BT Headset and Sony BT head unit in my car.

I can't speak for Zapjack12345, but I notice it with PowerAmp, Pandora, Spotify, YouTube, basically any app that is pushing audio through bluetooth. Audio is fine when the screen is off, but as soon as I pick up the phone, and turn it on to check notifications, things get screwy with the audio

Strange. I just checked with Pandora, YouTube, and IheartRadio and all seem fine with screen off and turning it on, using the pulldown menu, or changing songs. I'm using a cheap set of bluetooth earbuds from Amazon (no-name brand), and am stock with the phone, not rooted (yet) and on June updates. Phone was purchased in May new from Best Buy.

Same issue for me as well. I'm specifically using Amazon and Pandora most of the time. Its very annoying. On Chroma and franco kernel.

What rom are you using? This has been a well documented CM rom issue so any rom that uses CM as a base will and has had this issue since mid-January. Stock and AOSP based roms dont have this issue (from what I've seen and tried).
I'm currently using the 6/15 nightly for OMNIrom and do not have these issues.
As a sidenote, this was also an issue with Android N Dev Preview 2.

I'm currently on Pure Nexus 5/6/16. Nothing out of the ordinary installed. Tried clearing the Bluetooth cache, as the issue I am noticing was similar to issues that the Samsung S5 was having, but there was no difference.
I am going to look to go back to stock and see what happens, but looking at what OP posted, it looks like they're on stock, and having the same issue.

I am about to throw my phone in the sea. BT seems like it's getting worse and worse with each update. Cmon Google/Huawei. Don't make me lose faith.

I had a little less issues when using the Dev Preview 3 but there was another issue that arised that I hope gets fixed.
If you're using bluetooth when driving around when you lose signal or drop/gain data connection the audio skips for a quick second. Through past testing I've done working with kernel devs on 2 phones, the issue is related to how the hotplugging works for the cores. If only one core is running when the connection drops there is an issue with how the cpu ramps up and/or turns on another core to handle the workload. I thought this regression was pretty interesting seeing as one the things they were boasting about at the Google conference was how android would fix slow downs and issues when losing/gaining network connectivity with N. Hopefully it'll be fixed before final release.

You and me both. I am on my 3rd 6P and my BT problems are still the same. If the BT problems were only effecting one particular device I could understand but my Microsoft band, BT earbuds and car all seem to disconnect continuously on a bare/stock phone.

Okay guys. I changed my ROM from Resurrection Remix to Paranoid Android and this issue has been solved. Thank you so much for all your help and answers!

Does anyone else have any updates regarding this issue? Literally wanted to throw my phone out of the window during the morning commute.

Don't use cm based roms

Yep, this is 100% the reason. It is a CM issue. AOSP roms like Paranoid Android and Pure Nexus don't have this issue. I love Resurrection Remix, but this is starting to bug me. I may jump to PA rom soon...

Thanks. Was about to ask this question. It is a CM issue.

I have had issues with BT dropping randomly in my car on 2 different 6P's. No rhyme or reason, and it doesn't happen often, but annoying when it does. Happened on MM and DP4 currently.
On the flip side, my audio quality went down on my S7E over BT when my smartwatch was connected. Somehow, that doesn't happen with the 6P meaning I can keep my watch on in the car, so I am happy.

Hey, I just found this thread and surprised it took me this long considering I've been having this issue since I got my phone in November.
My 64gb 6P was stock until earlier this week, when I finally rooted and flashed xposed. The issue stopped the day I rooted my phone, and I was thrilled.
After reinstalling most of my apps and getting back into my routine, the problem came back. I've tried booting my phone into safe mode several times before rooting so I'm fairly confident the issue doesn't exist because of a specific app interaction, but I can't figure out what it is to save my life. I might backup again and restore to the backup I made right after rooting to see if I can narrow down the problem.
Other than that, I am very new to this stuff and honestly just thrilled to have found other people having the same issue.
I only experience the problem while connected to my car (2015 Chevy Cruze), and not any other bluetooth device.
Let me know if you guys find/have found anything I suppose?

I kinda have up on trying to narrow down the issue. I tried PureNexus, Paranoid Android, I tried different kernels, different cases. Still kept skipping and jumping, no matter how far, or close it was to my Bluetooth device (car stereo, speakers, home audio system). I went back to stock, no root, no Xposed, pure and simple Android, and I have not had a single issue, it's beautiful.

Bluetooth Call Audio Issue

Hey everyone,
I checked the similar threads but it seems everyone else has issues while playing music. My issue is only during calls.
Very often, almost every time, I have my V20 connected to a car through Bluetooth I get a really bad stuttering during calls. It is pretty much impossible to take a call like this. Sometimes the problem will go away but most of the time I just can't take any calls through Bluetooth. This has happened on a 2012 and a 2016 Toyota Prius C.
I recently got the Jaybird X3 and I experienced the same issue. Which leads me to believe that the issue is with the phone and not the car. I have a Note 4 and I never experienced this issue.
I tried stopping the Bluetooth system app (apps?) and clearing the cache and data but the problem is still there. I mention apps because I see 2 Bluetooth apps. One says its version 7.0 and the other one version 5.30.13. It seems both are active since both have memory used in the last few hours.
I've also tried the unpairing, deleting, and pairing the phone several times and the problem persists.
To be honest the problem is really annoying to the point I've considered getting something else. It is just frustrating to not be able to take calls over BT.
Anyone else having this issue? Is it maybe just my phone? Any ideas what could it be or how to solve the issue?
Thanks

I tried the phone with a MB CLA 250 and the issue is still there.
I also noticed there is a lag on the audio both while listening to music and while playing a video. It is more noticeable when playing a video since the audio is clearly out of sync by about half to one second.
Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this?
Or is it just me?

I can't say I've had this problem. What model v20 do you have? Are you stock or rooted (and if rooted, what ROM/kernel)?
I also have 2 system BT apps but one of mine differs from yours - 5.30.12.1
I'm using a rooted VS995 with a stock 11a rom and the NSSR 5.5 kernel.
