Hi,
Few weeks ago, around EB13 days, my epic on bonsai rom went haywire. After an unexpected reboot (phone froze so I had to pullout the battery), the phone had FC all over and had boot loops.
I had to odin couple of times and flash roms couple of times to get the phone working. During that time, SD contents viewed from my phone had all the letters corrupted. But after odin EC03, thing went back to normal.
Now, I am running nicely in SRF 1.1.0 in EC03. Everything works well but stock music app freezes whenever I tried to skip a song.
First music selected works, but it freezes when I select different song.
I noticed this with winamp and new federico WP7 music app.
But poweramp works, so I use that for now.
But I want to use new federico's WP7 music app. Anyone have ideas I should try?

I would say one of the 3 DRM files have been removed, but if one music player works, they should all work...
Im getting tired of changing this...
I do have 2 drm files frozen. Maybe that is the reason? I will try after I thaw those two files.
Edit: nope.. not working... I will try backing up sd and format it.

Who cares, use DoubleTwist. It's free and awesome. You'll thank me later

The default music app is a drain on battery, cpu, and resources. It's junky.
Google music.
Use PowerAMP.
Or Fede's Music.

I just upgraded to the Epic last week coming from the Hero. I quickly found that any music app I have tried on the Epic will lose its spot if I reboot (and sometimes even if I don't reboot). I listen to podcasts mostly, so it is important that it remember where it left off. Is there a way to get it to do this?? I did not have this problem on the Hero.
Try winamp. It seems to keel my spot all the time.

Ok, I tried WinAmp and paused my podcast halfway thru and rebooted. It still did not remember my place. I noticed that the phone says it is scanning my card FOREVER every time I boot . . . until it finally says completed. Any other ideas?
Does anyone have any possible solutions for me?

try poweramp....im not sure if it has podcast support though.....but it is by far the best music player available on android.
Here are some issues I've noticed with Media on my phone.
It happens completely at random.
Occasionally I will attempt to play a video file, or an MP3 file using the built-in software. The device will say "unable to play this file type". If I completely shut-down the phone, restart it, then I am able to play the files again. Like I said, happens completely at random, but I will usually have to reboot at least once every 3 or 4 days to resolve this issue.
Also, sometimes and also completely random, my ringtones will simply stop working. I still get a notification on the notification bar, and NoLed still gives me a notification, but no sound. Again, I have to reboot the phone to correct the issue.
Any ideas? Anyone else experience this?
My phone is the Bell 19000M on the latest factory Bell Froyo build with no root or lagfix or anything non-standard. I also noticed this behaviour on the last Froyo build (the one just before Christmas the bricked the phone).
TIA!

I've done this several times, each time I don't even restore a backup, rather I manually drag and drop necessary files back onto the device, and manually re-install applications as necessary. But I appreciate the reply.
I can confirm these issues on a i9000 european uk with jvk gingerbread.

Dammit, that's not good news!
This happens maybe once a week or even more infrequently. I had the media not playing twice in 6 weeks and going out of video, closing with task manager and then back in fixed it.
I had the ringtone bug last week and going in to sound and checking which sound was selected showed the circular icon was blue, sound played ok when I selected it again. On froyo, sometimes I could not select any ringtone that was my own, the blue icon would not work.
This happens very infrequently but it is annoying having missed calls with no ringtone played to alert.
I still have the wifi stopping working in perfect reception at times too.

When this happens on my phone, I had tried going into Task Manager to end all active applications, and clear Level1 and Leve2 memory, but it didn't seem to make a difference for me. Only rebooting the phone did.
I am also experiencing this issue.
I am running stock AT&T Captivate.
I have google music, double twist, and mypod installed as well.
Note: I also notice a problem when I unplug power or headphones it sometimes starts playing music.
Folks, I had the same problem with the media files (video and audio)...occasionally had to reboot to play anything on the phone....scoured the internet and found an obscure reference to the official Twitter application causing this issue (was buried deep inside a forum post). It didn't make much sense to me, but I had the application installed, so I decided to take a shot anyway. My media playback problems disappeared after uninstalling it. Haven't had to reboot my phone even once for this problem ever since. Thinking back, my issues started right about the time that I installed the application.
Anyway, I'm no expert so can't guarantee that the source of your problem is the same, but that is what was definitely causing my problem. I switched to a different third party twitter app, and all has been good ever since.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I am also with Bell Mobility and have an unmodified SGS with the latest firmware available to Bell customers

If you are having problems, boot into CWM and reflash the rom right over what you are running. It will backup the apps and everything for you and you will be back up and running in under a half hour.
You might want to try this before doing that though:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All
Scroll down to Youtube and select it. Hit "Clear Data" and then exit out and try Youtube again.
Are you running stock or a custom ROM? It has been so long since I have run stock that I wouldn't be able to help you out with that. I am currently running SyndicateROM Frozen. It's sold as a rock, fast, and I can go days without rebooting.
Getting the same EXACT issue as the OP. Running stock and rooted EC05. I think it started recently with the latest YouTube update. It didn't do that when I first got EC05.
Yes, me too. Stock EC05. I also noticed that the video camera and stock video player stop working when the youtube app fails.

Have you considered trying a custom ROM? I tried the scenario you described and didn't have a problem. I am running SyndicateROM Frozen, but there are others to choose from.
Just a thought.
Thanks, I'm sure that would help but I don't want to root.
I read the reviews in the Market for our current version of YouTube and apparently a lot of other users on different phones are getting the same problem. Many 1 star reviews lately because of it. As I stated earlier, this didn't start occurring until recently, which I attribute to the latest upgrade of the app.
Mine is the inability for the phone to roam on the PCS band. Really Samsung? Fix the bug!
Yes, this happened a lot to me when I was running EC05. So annoying.
Sounds like it's an EC05 bug. I refuse to power cycle 3 times a day for luxurious mutimedia. My Flash works, that's all I need. But wait, now the same error occurs when checking Voicemail, taking video, using the stock player... what's next? But I will not power cycle.

I think the Youtube glitch was due to a problem Google was having. If you've noticed, Gmail also had an insane lag and fail to send rate during that time too. Might actually just be Google servers.
I had the same issue but it stopped after so long and I'm back to normal.
I tried a fix I read in another thread and it seems to work. Uninstall the official twitter app and use another like tweetcaster. I have power cycled and haven't had that youtube problem anymore. Don't know why that worked.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Unmount your SD card and Mount it back again and that will fix the youtube app. I don't know why it fixes this problem for me. Let me know if it worked for you.
The only rom this happens to me on is ec05 plus.

Not sure if this is a known problem but I don't remember it happening before I formatted the thing and Messed around with it. I basically Installed gb and since voodoo sound wasn't on there I reverted. I was messing with the apps trying to figure out why it was so noisy thinking it was setcpu or a system app. Later I found out it was the buttons!
I stopped voodoo sound but it still makes the noise. Is this a known problem? I was hoping to use this as a voodoo sound music player. I put it airplane mode and all, still the same!
Which keys?
Grip sensor does that at times, try turning that off when you just wanna listen to music
On ec09 at least.
Cause tb101 modded grip to be used in music player on eg04.
As for voodoo, I don't think it has worked since dj20. Tb101 wrote something about that in another thread.
All the keys do, vol, camera, power. I had the grip sensor off, turned it on later but even before i did not motice it. Ill try off again. I use voodoo control, sorry. It works but not on gb.
Yup still messed up.
I went to sleep when it was at 15% and I woke up to it being dead not connected to wifi or anything. Btw thanks for replying, I thought it would take a few days to get a reply.
Np, wish I was more help. Hoping to be set back up in a week or so.
I've had the same problem on ec09 and eg04. It gets really bad if it is charging, either on the cord or in a dock, and it is almost fully charged. But, I've noticed that sometimes after flashing something I'll get popping and skipping in the music player and other times it will work perfectly. Right now once in a while i get four skips when I start music, but then it works fine. I know its kind of a pain, but you might try reflashing the rom and see if it helps. No promises though!

Thanks for both your advice! For some reason Odin isn't working so I'll try again later. I thought it was Superuser related so I installed supersu since it works better, still same problems. Will try again!
If your talking about the static when listening to music that always happened to me no matter what ROM I was on even with active grip sensor off its bad. When I flashed beats audio through cwm from another forum on xda I didn't notice the static anymore so maybe try flashing another audio driver and see if that helps if it doesn't just revert back through a backup.

Pretty much as the title states
Rooted phone with motochopper, superuser stuff is all good
Downloaded and ran ROM Manger off the store
Recovery setup
installed recovery
successfully installed, rebooted phone
loaded ROM manager again, checked recovery setup, shows current recovery as ClockworkMod Recovery..
so.. yea, everything went off without a hitch.. except when I try to boot into recovery, be it via rom manager or manually, it still just boots into the stock recovery..
I re-read the directions (went off cyanogenmod wiki)
I know Im missing something, but.. what?
EDIT: Well crap. I noticed the install directions I was going off of were for I337UCUAMDB or I337UCUAMDL
I have 1337UCUAMF3
IM guessing I probably need a different version of CWM.
With MF3 you can only you safe strap. Get acquainted with that thread and how safe strap works and unfortunately you can only flash stock based ROMs with stock kernels. No custom ones like CM or AOKP.

Yea, I just found that out..
Let me tell you what kicked this off, maybe you have a suggestion..
Ever since the last update (4.3) the (long stream of expletives) Samsung music player has developed a mind if its own in regards to bluetooth.
There are similar gripes all over the web, but my specific one is that whenI sync the phone to my car OR to my bluetooth unit in my motorcycle helmet.. The samsung music player has decided that IT is the default media player, and there is no way to change it.
So when I hit the play button in my car.. instead of iheart radio, or pandora starting IT starts... and IT just randomly plays any and all audio files on the phone, it doesn't even limit itself to a directory.. I have to unlock the phone, and turn it off... not bad right?
Well on the motorcycle helmet is where its a real bastard.. my SENA unit has 3 buttons VOL+ VOL- and FUNC
the function button by default pauses or plays audio from the default audio player on the connected bluetooth device.. my default being Pandora radio.
Now.. I fire up pandora, put the phone in my jacket and off I go... happy times... vroom vroom.. well a call comes in... the unit pauses the audio player for the call, and resumes it when the call has ended... which has always worked fine... but NOW instead of pandora just picking up where it left off, the goddamn samsung music player starts instead, playing whatever random sounds or recordings are on the phone, actually to be more precise, what happens is pandora starts, then samsung music player starts, which pauses pandora...
So I have to pull over, dig my phone out of my pocket, close samsung music player and start pandora... every single time I get a call, or if I just want to pause and resume the music.. this happens.. Im sure you understand the frustration.
You cant disable it, you can force stop it but it will start again the next time any bluetooth device is connected... Its an unstoppable pile of **** and I want it GONE..
thats what started my cyanogen odyssey..
Ive searched quite a bit, found many people with the same problem, all asking how to disable or remove it.. no solution.
Well, I did (hopefully) find a workaround, an app called bluetooth connect and play. Playing with it on my helmet and it works perfectly.
Still wish i could get rid of all the ABSOLUTE CRAP that Samsung and ATT have piled on this phone..
I don't know if this is going to work for you but it seems to work for me. MK2 / SafeStrap 3.71 / SHOstock v3 on stock slot

I've lost root access, and strangely now cannot get it back, superuser says KNOX is detected, and cannot be disabled. Root checker now says I no longer have root access. A few hours ago it was fine, no issues.
Can't believe you buy a device, and are forbidden from having control over the programs on it.
It's like buying a house, and the realtor telling you what curvature you can and can't have.

How did you use motochopper and the Loki exploit if you were on mf3? Are you sure you were ever actually rooted ?
I'd suggest you try the Kingo root option and see if that works to root.
