Music Player Apparently stops playing - Atrix 4G General

Anyone else experiencing an issue with the default music player app? Mine stops playing after the screen cuts off. I've got it ignored in task manager. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

In addition, I found that leaving my phone sitting in the passenger seat while playing music can make it randomly skip songs. I don't mean to the next song, I mean to the middle of a random song. And when it finishes, it hops back to where it hopped from.

I am having this issue as well. App is ignored in task manager but music stops playing a minute or so after the screen goes to sleep. It's really getting annoying. Thank you in advance for your help.

I thought there might have been some interfering auto killed app, so I unchecked all of them and proceeded to block half each time to find the problem. 0 apps blocked, music worked after screen went off. Half blocked, music still worked. 3/4 blocked, music still works. 7/8 blocked, music still works. Block everything I intended to be blocked the first time around, music still works.
Yeah, I have no freakin idea why my music stopped after playing with the blocking, but it solved itself somehow. Just try soft reset, give it some time.

I also have the same issue. It doesn't appear to happen when I let the screen lock itself, only when I manually hit lock.

After messing with differnt apps being auto ended, I discovered that the gallery app has something to do with the music player. When I removed the gallery app from the auto end list, the problem went away. When I readded it, it came back. Someone else will probably want to check this but it worked for me

What I did is:
Remove music app from the app killer
Go into- manage apps/music player/force close/clear data
Songs will be deleted
Put the songs back, but put them in the- playlist folder
hope it helps.

I think this may be a no hassle temporary solution.
If your music keeps stopping:
Set your timeout to never, manual lock, unlock, set timeout to your normal setting.
So far, I've only tried letting it timeout on its own, but the music doesn't stop anymore.

Is the music on your SD card or internal memory?

It's on the onboard memory.

it is a system bug
and a third party player can fix it.

i use MIUI player and didnt have that problem

i have my music on both internal and sd card storage... and this keeps happening..
anyone using a different music player? I'd like to find the one used in CM. (any idea where that one can be had?)

I tried Meridian, but the error happened to me once. My quick fix seemed to work still.

I don't have this problem and I can manually or automatically lock without the the music gets interrupted. I don't use any taskkiller? There is no reason to use one in Froyo and not on this powerful phone.

i tried every method you guys have here and theres no luck =[ i hate this i might just take the phone back but apparently is a problem with the OS its self i might just buy and ipod touch

Turns out the task manager was the problem for me. Even though no music applications were on the autokill list, it still killed my music. try removing everything from any task manager or task killer. I'm back to enjoying my phone again.

ramensama: don't be so quick about that.
Sometimes, unlocking and locking the phone is enough to stop it from stopping.

y i got a question not sure its the right thread but.. i have a pair of earbuds with remote and volume and answer keys which does not seem to work on my atrix.. is there anyway to make those keys work.. cause when some one calls it doesnt use the built in mic... i think... anyone having the similar issue?

sound stops working!!

in the past week i've found trhe sound in the music player will randomly stop working. the track keeps playing via the movement bar but there's no sound. i've checked the volume and this isnt a problem and there's no sound in coreplayer either when this happens.
the headphones are fine because unplugging them doenst bring the sound on either (via the speaker). the only way to get it working is to reset. it's strnage ebcause sometimes it goes for ages without a prob, soemtimes it happens after 5 minutes...
anyone got any ideas? I'm fairly certain it's a software issue as unplugging the headphone jack makes a noise
ok still dpont know the solution but i just left my phone alone for 30mins after it last stopped making sound and now it's making sound again (without resetting). is it a memory problem??
backup, hardreset, restore. it's the only way to be sure.
Hope you didn't do a hard reset yet as the post above me urged. Like you said once the TF3D mp3 player stops playing (the sound) coreplayer doesn't work either. Now, i'm guessing WM player doesn't work either, but oddly the radio does? One more question, are you running Gyrrator in the background? Let me know and i'll try and help you out promptly.

I'm having the same problem with the sound.
Yes, the radio works, but nothing else, after unplugging the headphones it takes a while for the headphone icon to disappear and when plugged in it takes it longer than usual to appear. Doesnt fix the sound though. I have Gyrator 2 on auto start but i usually close it. At the time of the sound's disappearing it was off.
Mine only does it after i've answered a call through the headset, after the call is finished, the song continues playing and after a while or when the next song comes up, the sound disappears and can only be fixed through a soft reset.
Also mine refuses to display the embedded album art for every song, just chooses one and goes with that cover. And there used to be more covers behing the one running, but now it's just the one.
Hope someone can help me with any of this.
Thanks.

yep spot on, gyrattor 2 is running in the bakground and i havent hard reset. havent actually tried using WMplayer or the radio as i dont use those functions but I'd also assume they prob wont work either
Ok, not guareenting anything, but this might/should fix it. I'm guessing you did this through Gyrrator (though u could have prolly done it via windows too somehow, but my money on Gyrrator). What's prolly happening is that in Gyrrator you have it set to "Suspend Device" for one of the events (to turn off the screen). Instead change this to "Turn Screen Off." Suspending the device causes u to loose sound in most apps (radio still works fine). When you hit the power button, this only turns the screen off and does not actually suspend the device while you're playing music. Let me know if it worked.
good luck
looked thropugh my events which are all the default ones and nothing was set to suspend
could it be something is S2U2? theres an option there which is worded "Dont suspend power" and mine is set to off. Do i need tio change it? (damn double negatives)
My Gyrator had a suspend device event, removed it and we'll see how it goes.

yes, sounds like a double negative to me, so switch that to "on" so it won't suspend power. Let us know if it worked.

Nope, didn't.
Had the same problem today. Only happens after i receive a call via the headset.
Sound is completely stopped working!
The sound on my THD has completely stopped working. I've only had it for a few days, and suddenly when I was working on it, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It doesnt work in WMP, Coreplayer, the radio or the built in touchflo3dplayer. It does, however, work when I plug in the headset, but still no sound in the speakers though. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, and it doesn't even make a sound in the beginning when HTC logo comes on.
Any ideas about what's wrong, or do I just send it back for support?
i also got a problem with sounds, sometimes when i use youtubeclient, my sound stops working, and just the occasional tac in sound, then i have to reset my HD te get sound again, ive done 3 hard resets, and it even happenend when i booted youtube right after hard reset was done... does somebody know the problem?

Hi, I have the exact same problem. It was perfectly fine till I received an SMS and everything after that, sound from the loud speaker does not work
Same issue here. The problem is caused by S2U2. The audio driver crashes everytime S2U2 locked the phone while there is a high usage of audio (e.g. by the TF3D MP3player). With S2U2 disabled everything stays normal.
I guess it has something to do with the new 1.40 version of S2U2. I just posted a request into the S2U2 thread.
I got the problem, too.
Thanks you found the reason for this sound-problem.
I hope S2U2 will fix this in next version.

I hope so too because there is no workaround. you cannot define the player as an exception because it is part of manila :-(
I also can confirm the problem with S2U2!
It also happen when you use the udio player. Once S2U2 locks the device the audio freezes.
Hi,
I have this same problem too, but haven't got S2U2 installed. I have found out what causes the problem. It only happens when I use the headset that came with the phone. When the button on the microphone to pick up a call is pressed for a longer time, the sound stops, while the mp3 (or other file) keeps on playing.
So that's the way to get the problem to appear... now a solution to make it go away. And not the answer, don't use that headset...
Up till now the only way I have found to make the sound come back is to do a soft-reset.

Sense music player problem

When I am playing music using HTC's sense music player, if I press the end call button to lock the phone, the music stops. This problem has only started happening last night, before it was working fine. The only new programme I have installed is SPB Travellers Demo. Any suggestions to fix this?
PS: if I manually lock the phone, it keeps playing.
It shouldnt happen if your using headphones, if your listening through the speaker then you just have to let the screen turn off on its own, just set it to time out after 30 secs........ its annoying i know.....
havent noticed a fix for this anywhere though.........
I havent really looked for one though to be honest, there probably is one.......
Thanks but I'm sure it used to work before ...

Now that you mention it I only noticed this recently and like you I dont remember it having happened before but because I rarely listen through the speaker I just thought I was imagining things and it had always done that...........
Now I'm really confused........
I know, does anyone know what might have caused this problem or any solutions?
sorry i dont know what causes this but it happens when i use headphones sometimes to - i find if i press the end call button straight after pressing play it stops but if you let it play for a few seconds then press it its ok?
Might be obvious but have you installed the official music stability update?
Yep, as I say, it appeared to be working fine until last night. The only programme I have recently installed is SPB Travellers Demo.

Wired sound problem

Hi,
I have recently encountered a wired problem. Searched for web for similar issues, seen few same issue, but differ a bit.
I recently was surprised that phone stopped ringing or sound an sms alert or any other app alert such as WhatApp.
I tried to change the sound in sound settings for SMS, Whatsapp, Calls and Handcent app. All of which, didn't do any sound at all. When I select another sound within the apps, nothing is played. Some of them, played a standard beep instead.
I realized also that the alarm had a problem. It simply didn't sound at all at morning and therefore I was late to work that day :-(
anyways, I read on the net, few said, remove the battery for few seconds, did so, and helped, but problem comes up again. So I decided not to remove the battery anymore as it is a temp. solution only.
Some said, in Applicatoin settings, Sound Sets, clear data. Did that, and sometimes helps other doesn't. So another temp. solution.
Sometimes when it happens, I keep trying selecting different sounds, open different apps, changing their notification sounds, and suddenly, I can hear something when changing notification sound, then I know it is back again.
Now it has been happening for around 10 days, and didn't figure it out. I might need to do a hard-reset, but prefer not to as I hate installing all the apps (lots) I have installed and doing all the settings again. It takes long time. So I need another solution.
Something is strange, I am almost sure its not a faulty hardware, but maybe an app that interfere with something.
Anybody experienced such thing?

my htc 816 always going on speaker

I have rooted my phone an year back and was using it without any issues. Now recently i wanted to cast the screen and installed some mirroring app. But then as it didn't work, i removed it. But then i observed that since then my phone is always going on speaker mode. In fact "Speaker On/Off" button has no effect at all while on the call.
Also bluetooth though detects the device, does not send out the audio signal to that device and remains on the speaker mode. Even headset after connecting shows the headset icon in the notification bar but music is played on speaker phone only.
Initially i thought it could be internal speaker issue but then even BT and headset are not working, which hints me that it could be software issue.
Has anyone faced something similar? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

You could try just rebooting your phone and or wiping your cache and dalvik cache in recovery but that probably won't do much but you could try. Last resort I would back up all my apps using Titanium Backup/ Super Backup and Google's own backup options in your settings then try a factory reset. Will wipe your phone except for internal data storage and ext SD card but might also correct what the issue is but it might not if this app somehow had root privileges and changed something in your system but didn't remove it when you uninstalled it. Wish I had a better option but that app did something to your phone I'm pretty sure of it. Make sure Google had your phone numbers and contacts backed up automatically or you will need to back those up separately with TB.

If those mirroring/casting apps used root access and modified some files in your ROM, Then you can try one thing, just navigate to /etc You should see mixer_paths.xml file, This file handles all sound routing, and i guess those apps modified this only. If this is the case, those apps definitely kept a backup of original file in same directory.
Thoctor and Sahil.bhardwaj, thank you very much for your help. Actually i tried factory reset but it didn't help. So i unrooted the phone and guess what? It started working perfect. Any ways i wanted to give it to my Dad who does not need unlocked phone so i can live with it now and can experiment with my newly bought Qiku 360!
Sahil bro, actually your comment come little late so didn't get the chance to check that out, but logically it makes sense as long as the developer of the app is well matured to take the backup of mixer_paths.xml or any system files for that matter.

Recurring Sound Issue

This problem keeps happening and it is very bad, for me anyway. Especially if if my alarm doesn't sound or I miss calls (4 calls today).
Basically, the sound will either just...stop or will become intermittent. By intermittent I mean that notification sounds stop in the middle, only getting half the notification, and the volume "beep" only sounds every other time the up or down volume is pressed.
The first time it happened i ended up rebooting and that temporarily fixed the problem. The second time I did the same and wiped the cache. Again a temporary fix. The third time i noticed something again that I had noticed the first time. Youtube videos will not play. I had pulled youtube up to test the sound the first time. At that point I thought it was a problem with youtube or the youtube app, but it happened again exactly the same way. So I killed the youtube app and voila, sound was back. So now I am thinking it was the youtube app. The 4th time, the youtube app was open in the background and I just killed all the background apps. Again, sound is back.
So now I think I have it solved. Something to do with the youtube app, right? Apparently not. Today my sound just...stopped while I was sleeping. I missed four calls from my wife and my alarm did not sound. There were a lot of apps listed in the recent apps but NOT youtube. Not at all. I closed all the recent apps and again, the sound came back.
Is this maybe some kind of RAM management issue? or....I have no idea. It's happened before and after both of the updates.
Not using any kind of external device at all, no headphones or speakers. Bluetooth is off. Location is off, NFC is off, WiFi is off (though it has been on for at least one of the times the sound stopped).
I've had the half notification issue randomly. Not as bad as you though. ?
