Music App rebooting phone - Galaxy S II General

My stock music app seems to have started rebooting my phone after about 5 minutes of listening. The phone will then kept resetting itself until I power it off myself.
Strangely it seems to randomly move one app icon from the application menu half the time it reboots.
It's only started happening today and there are no issues when I use Winamp to listen.
There's no change to my phone over the last few days and the music app was fine until today.
Google didn't seem to bring up any useful info, any ideas what's causing it or how to fix it?

WOW and I thought I was going crazy with my phone
This morning alone, I was trying to have myself some music, and the phone freaking bounced like 4 times during 20 minutes.
I have 2 suspect combinations of conditions when this might happen. Both include of course the stock player running:
1) The setting is switched on that mutes the phone when you turn it face down - I suspect it has something to do with the reboots
2) The phone is manually switched to Airplane mode, or there are some rare issues with signal (I am in New York City, signal is the worst here)
Did you by any chance have any of these 2 when your phone bounced?

I have this too. I use poweramp as my music player and have no issues. Using stock KE7.

I've got the face down mute thing on but I always lock the screen when listening to music and it's never caused issues before.
As for the signal, it happened to me at home where I have great signal and then again when I was at the gym, where the signal can get a bit ropey but not in the area I was in when I experienced the problem.
I can't really think of anything that might have caused it. It's not a huge issue for me yet but if out starts affecting other music players then it'll really bug me

I didn't have this issue until I upgraded to ke7
I'm back on ke2 and zero issue with the music app. Look in the ke7 thread, there are few posts about the soft reboot

More Froyo issues

Okay so aube the official update came out I have done about 6 factory resets of my phone for one reason or another. My latest big problem wasn't fixed aster the last 2 resets. I have a permanent syncing icon next to the signal strength our wifi bars. Nothing appears to be
syncing. I went into my accounts and it said goggle was syncing the calendar sometimes and sometimes email. I turned off syncing everything and the symbol remains. I also tried restarting the phone with the signal remaining. I am clueless. I have push on and tried with out push. Any ideas?

Have you tried clearing the cache?
Had the same problem, but mine went away after a factory reset
Finally got rid of it. I did clear the cache this time again but I did try it before and still had issues. Now I don't know why my phone beeps and then vibrates when I turn the phone off. Also how do I restore a backup of locale. I did a back up but now I can't find out how to restore

My problem is the music player. Finally got the update about two days ago and the music player now glitches up and this sucks cause I've hard to reboot or remove the battery about 3 times in the last day and I workout about 2x's a day at least 45 mins to 1 1/2 each time so having this fixed for my music when I workout would be really helpful. It's the stock update and I haven't rooted or anything.

I am having the same issue. It seems that the SD card reader no longer works, because in addition to the music player not working the camera won't work either. It will take photos, but can't save them.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I also have stock updates. I am sort of a phone hack newbie, so...

Apps closing when phone goes into sleep mode

Until yesterday if I had an app like Pandora or ESPN Radio playing/running when the screen kicked off the app would keep playing. However, now when the phone goes to sleep everything else gets shut off. I have not altered anything myself per se. Even uninstalled a few apps like AutoKiller [which I had installed for weeks and everything worked fine with it on and installed] but the problem persists and remains. This really perplexes me as I want/need these apps to play with the screen off like they did before. For the life of me I don't know why this is; nor can I find anything in settings to change.
Help!?
I haven't noticed this with Pandora but the NPR apparently stops playing about 15 minutes I turn the screen off.

Well it magically works fine now. For the life of me I could not tell you what caused it or what I did to cure it. I guess problem solved

My phone just went haywire

This is weird my phone totally went haywire for about 30 seconds. It started playing my ringtone so I thought someone was calling me. When I looked at the phone, it had the standard lock screen. I unlocked it and the phone showed a fuzzy black and white screen. Then a random yellow page, I also noticed the gps started locating me, around the same time, navigation appeared saying that I need a licence to use navigation. After all that, the phone went back to normal. What happened?
It's been happening all night. I had to put my phone on silent.

Did you ever find out the problem?
IDK about the Fuzzy black/yellow screen, but the ringing and GPS Location could be caused by someone having access to your HTCSense or other phone locating app (Such as lookout, bitdefender) account.
Interesting!, Have You found the problem or solution for it? Dont know about you but the last time my Phone did Something like that when i was playing 9mm game, listening to music and some1 calling me at the same time.
I had this a couple of times
ringtone kept playing and car mode kept launching, very weird, I didnt do anything, no one was calling. the phone was not docked or plugged in.
finally it was gone after I changed the ringtone.
Awfully strange I remember this happened to me when voice command came on whilst the phone was in my pocket.

This isn't normal operating behaviour...I think that if these sort of things happen the ROM is most likely corrupt and should be reflashed or replaced with another.
Clean your USB-port, I had the exact same thing (especially with the car mode), cleaned the USB-port with a dentists tool and it dissapeared (along with a suprisingly large ammount of pocket lint)
this is my proplem too , but only when i am charging my phone , it opens contacts and call them while i am sleepnig , and turn on bluetooth , now i make my pho offline while on charge , but i think it may be charger proplem as it isnt the original one , it is charger of blackberry , thats what i have

I'm gettin random reboots / restarts...

Really weird, doesn't seem to happen when the tablet is stressed or something. On the other hand happened more often with heavy memory stuff like big pdf's and when i live youtube videos loading, maybe I have an issue with the 2 gig's of ram? it's there any way i can test that?
Sometimes the tablet isn't doing anything an restarts. Like when the home screen is blocked. Anyone else had this problems?

I would suggest you try flashing the nexus 10 factory restore image and see if that fixes things. If it's still randomly rebooting I'd send it in for a replacement.

I'm getting the same, please keep us updated because I'm hoping it's a software issue...
Got some of these too. One of these was really freaking, I had to force a reboot. I definitely think it's software

You can see the reboots I'm getting on here... http://imgur.com/704mp.png
i have also problems. Sometimes when i usw Chrome, the Browser don't react and then the screen goes black and i have to push the button on top for five seconds to reboot my nexus. Had this problem three times. I,m hoping for a fix...
Happened to me twice already! Wtf

Guys, I think found a pattern: Each time I get a reboot seems to be related to the wifi connection, like if the wifi freezes the tablet. Pay atention to the wifi settings when you get reboot / restart the tablet it's like searching the wifi connection like crazy, but, if you reboot normally the wifi it's already connected. Seems like a clue to me.
I played like 4 hours yesterday Chaos Rings. Seems like a really advanced game to me, so the stressing test is passed. It's not related to stress IMHO.
I've been getting random reboots too. Took several attempts to get all the way through setup right after taking it out of the box. At first I thought maybe I just hadn't given it enough time to acclimate to ambient temperature or something, but problem has persisted even after flashing the factory image via fastboot. Haven't noticed a correlation with wifi, but does seem to happen mostly when idle. Have also had a couple freezes and shutdowns, too.
Guess I'll be calling Google this morning... Argh.

I actually haven't had any reboots yet. I haven't stressed it with any games, but installed my normal apps and used it for web browsing/xda for a couple hours and no problems for me (yet...fingers crossed)
Called Google, and after being on hold for almost 1/2 hour (I'd imagine they're pretty swamped) explained the issue as well as what I've already done to try to resolve it (factory reset, fastboot recovery image flash) and they started the replacement process without any additional questions.
Just my luck, the first time in ages that I buy a device the day it comes out, I end up with a dud... Hopefully I get the replacement quickly!
I'm really nervous at this point. Mine is perfect aside from a piece of dust in the screen. Google is sending me a new one, but now I am afraid I will get one with more issues.
no more reboots here. But i think it's a software problem.
I have had two unexpected reboots. One was about halfway through ep. 1 of Planet Earth. I don't recall what I had running the other time.
I'm still running stock 4.2, unrooted.
Somebody postes useful info.

Mine rebooted then rebooted three times in a row before even getting in the desktop.
+1 Reboots
3 reboots in the past hour! Location svcs disabled.
Sometimes under load (gaming), other times just random.

Music randomly starts playing.

This is driving me crazy and I've been searching all over the internet. The same song starts playing usually early in the morning, today it also happened just before 11am with the phone away from me and the screen closed. When I open it the music stops and no app is open. No alarm profiles, gestures turned off but I am not close to the phone, bluetooth turned off. Any ideas? Pure with marshmallow.
when did this started happening? Now remember which apps you installed since then and delete them, another option is to go to battery settings and see if anything is using too much battery but without you opening it
PS: Are you sure its not a family member doing it just for fun??lol
PS2: Delete the song?_?
Probably about a month ago and not very much, has gotten to be more. I have checked battery settings can't find anything that is using battery.
Positive nobody is doing it. Just the wife and she is not enough up on technology.
Yea, I will probably try deleting the album. It's always the same thing on the same album.
I have gone through the apps and there is really nothing else that would be controlling a song.
Thanks for the ideas.
if it starts playing another song then try a factory reset
Yes, factory reset was first on my list and it's still happening. Maybe I'll look at roms.
