Dear all,
I have the HD2 and 16gb SD card. When I pair the device to my bluetooth headphones (Motorola S805) the device freezes for 3 minutes and trying to get the thing to play audio takes 5 to 10 minutes. I noticed that the device spends its time trying to scan through all the music on the card (12.1gb) and then eventually the audio manger crashes. Has any encountered this and also has anyone found a fix for this??? I am about to send the device back for a replacement as I have owned mine for less that 2 weeks and they wont take it back or cancel the contract so a replacement is all I can achieve at this stage. i previously owned HD, Ted Baker Needle and Tytnii and have never had this issue. I also noticed that HD2 does not offer a voice dialer???? Is that right??? Please help
I am having the same problem guys. I am ex-3GS user and I'm really mad a great hardware like hd2 can not play my music library(10 gigs). this also leads to very slow performance in my device in general when i choose to play any piece of mp3.
does any one every had the same problem ??!!
Thanks.
Fine with 7 gigs of music here. Ofcourse it takes some time to scan the card but then everything´s working fluently
I've seen a crash or an endless loop of library scanning a couple of times right after adding new music. A simple soft reset solved it.
The library file is "Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng". You could try and delete or rename it and see what happens. Wait for the Audiomanager to start rescanning your files, and when it's scanning, wait untill it finishes.
If that doesn't work, something in your library is causing trouble. A corrupt mp3 file maybe, something the Audio Manager wants to read but can't.
My library is about 12-13gb, so size shouldn't be the problem.
Most of the times the audio manger crashes because it contains illegal characters (characters that it cannot read by default). Make sure you're files do not contain any special characters and language specific characters.
I have similar problems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6110471#post6110471
Will try to avoid language specific characters in filenames and report back.

HTC itself do help
hi, lets us trust the one and only HTC itself.

sort out your music into different folders try to have at most 30 songs in a folder, yes the hd2 is a powerful device but it still has limitations oe of which is the filesystem if all your songs are in one folder the filesystem would crash or make the whole device run slowly
Gday All,
Hope someone can help me...

Ive just finished syncin' my tunes using Windows media player, and for some reason now, when i try and play the music on the phone, it comes up with the following message:
"A problem has occurred with AudioManager_eng.exe"
If i leave the phone long enough, it does actually load a few tunes, but not all of them, although when i go into album, they all appear to be there... Can anyone shed some light on this rather annoying problem...?
Thanx guys

HD2 Audio Manager
Well, i have finally managed to sort this rather annoying problem out.
And it works...!!! (Bloody miracle...lol)..
This is what i did, to stop the audio manager from "hanging" every couple of minutes...and giving the "a problem has occurred with audiomanager_eng.exe"
1. Deleted all the music from the sd card
2. reformattted the sd card (back up first)
3. installed mp3tag on my laptop
4. Then went thru my music and assigned a new tag to each album (didnt take that long really about 2 hours)
5. Then installed back onto the sd card
Then the music will paly perfectly, without stalling, hanging, crashing etc.
I think its something to do with the music tags that stops the music player/audio manager from working properly....
I have successfully being using the music for a while now, with no issues....
WOO BLOODY HOO...!!!
Hello,
My music player ( pre-installed in Milestone 2 UK retail ) go freeze sometimes, especially after a song finished.
This happened randomly and not so frequently, sometime music player works perfect even I played all songs ( 80+ songs ). So I don't know whether a solution really works immediately.
After the music player freezed, I cannot operate any thing in the player interface, just force close the player in process manager, restart the player, then I can't play songs anymore ( freeze again ) .
And, I can't start any SD-related apps like video players and some games ( like Asphalt 6 ). But I can copy/cut files in the file manager.
Remount SD card or reboot the phone, everything backs to normal.
Is this the microSD's problem?
I tried different ways to format it but never solve the problem, and, Watching movies/Playing games goes well. I also try to replace the music playing libs with Droid X's (http://yuanjie.name/entry/milestone-2-mp3-crackling-playback-issue-solved), but music player freeze again last night.
I have no idea what happened.
Thanks in advance.
Try an alternative music player such as WinAmp or PowerAmp.
Check if your problem persists.

Thank you very much!
I'm try PowerAMP now, I really enjoy this powerful app.
I'll give a feedback if it doesn't freeze after several days.
This looks like SD Card issue. New player won't help IMO. Try testing on another dard.
I really think it's a kernel problem, or at least a problem with the media scanner. Sadly, I think we'll have to wait for GB update =/

I read the thread, it has some similarities with the problems that waigx and I are facing. Can you open any other application after PowerAMP shuts down? Does it really shuts down or crash (stays in memory but doesn't execute anything)? Can you open a file manager when this happens?
I'm using Cubed as my player - though all other players I tried (default from Motorola, Meridian, PowerAMP, WinAmp) behaved exactly the same.
Sometimes the player keeps on thinking it is still playing (i.e. track progress is moving without sound), but usually it just ends up with ANR. All other applications [that I need] seem to work fine after this. I do seem to remember Goggles and Camera not responding after a crash, but they crash on their own anyways, so can't really put blame on music player crashing.
A couple of times I did have a case where I couldn't open up SD card anymore, but I've gotten so used to this (8 hours of work+music with 2-3 crashes [or more?] every day) that I stopped trying - just reboot and continue where I left off.
The crashes happen around the same time (but not exact) - around lunch, then at around 3-4pm. Sometimes it also crashes when I'm on my way home ~6-7pm. I think it is somewhat related to power management - I notice it crashes more often as the battery is going down (although I do charge pretty much every night) and there's that "standby called" log message. I did try various battery settings with no luck - any suggestions what I could try more?
There were also a couple of times where I would just leave it at rest after a crash, then start Angry Birds (seemed to reset media/sound system or something), or just wait 15-30 minutes and the sound would come back and the player would unfreeze after a force close and everything would work fine. Until the next crash, that is.
I'll try the remount SD trick and I'll double check the file manager the next time it does this - presumably just after lunch on Monday
I freezed the media scanner with Titanium Backup and scanned music media with PowerAMP, but I had the same problem afterwards... Looks like a deeper problem or a problem with the sd card

This thing has worked on my gf's milestone 2 ... but I am not sure if it will work for you ...
1.) Backup ur device/settings/messages etc
2.) Factory reset the device
3.) Sign in your motoblur a/c after factory reset
Immediately after that
4.) Open connected Music Player .. press menu button and find the options for tunewiki lyrics/covert art downloader ... uncheck all of those
5) Settings->DataManager-> somewhere u will find similar options as above .. disable all of those
Basic Idea is to completely diasble all sort of data that the connected Music Player will ever need ....
Sorry, I could not give you the exact Menu operations because I dont have the device with right now... But it works if u r ready to do the factory reset...
You will actually like the Connected Music Player after this because it has a nice shoutcast integration and neither does it crash so often like Winamp...
Also as far as I know the bug with the Connected Music Player is such that Music in all sort of other players including Winamp also stops working ..
Tell me if it works

My Goggles and Camera also always crashed long time ago, but your problems is really stranger than mine.
I think you should WIPE your phone ( don't forget backup data before it ).
Before I flashed the Argen2Stone ROM, I suffered from the same problem. The CMP froze spontaneously.
Now - after using A2S - I never recognized such a behavior again.

Hey anupash,
I really appreciate for your detailed answer, I was bought PowerAMP. Even thought it cost $4.99, but I think it worth that.
I delete up CMP in the file system, my phone runs well in these days. Players like Winamp, realone are using system decode libs, so they also meet some problems I guess.
Connected Music Player have a great integration with the whole system, but I need data sync and album-arts.
Thank you again, If I meet additional problems I'll post in this thread later.
Best regards.

File manager seemed to work - at least for browsing the folders.
Unmounting SD killed the player. Remounting it back and trying to play anything made the phone reboot on it's own. Go figure.

Thanks for the tip Sadly, I don't have time for this now - as I mentioned - I pretty much got used to it constantly crashing... But I'll probably do that if the upcoming (hopefully soon...) MotoEurope update doesn't help.
Im having this problem also. Random freezes at playback... using winamp there´s no problem...
Hello,
I am working on a Nexus 7 car install and having a hard time finding the best app to play my huge collection of mp3s. I have almost 100 gigs on an external USB flash drive which I have connected by a USB extender cable to the USB hub. I am looking for an app that can handle 25,000+ mp3s AND be able to pause and resume the same song when I turn off the car. I am running Autodroid 1.2 with Kangaroo kernel 3.1.10, Android 4.4.4.
I thought my best option was Nexus Media Importer because it indexes the files 1,000 x faster than the other apps I've tried, but every time the Nexus goes into deep sleep it unmounts the drive and re-mounts it when I connect the power again and will not remember the last file that was playing and has to re-index all the songs. I was wondering if I can use tasker to somehow make the Nexus Media Importer remember the state of the file playing when power is disconnected. Nexus Media Importer would be perfect if it didn't reset every time the power was disconnected. I am wondering if this is caused by the flashdrive itself losing power or the Power Event Manager killing the app itself.
I have tried Poweramp and Apollo and they both took a long time to read a 32 gig mini sd card and when there were finished they only indexed about 60% of the mp3s.
I read Rocket Player was good and I am am waiting for it to index the files on the drive but it has been over 3 hours and it isn't even half way done yet. I am going to try JetAudio if this does not work.
Please let me know if I can provide more information.
Any help is much appreciated.
Update:
I don't think PowerEventMgr is killing my apps but I just was playing music using Rocket Player and disconnected power. The android message saying that "USB disk has been unexpectedly removed" displayed and then it went into deep sleep. When I brought it back up the Rocket Player displayed a message saying another app killed Rocket PLayer and to add Rocket Player to the list of exceptions for whatever app killed it...
So questions... Does PowerEventMgr kill the music apps because of "request audio focus" or another reason? How to I add an exception? Should I just stop using PowerEventMgr and use Tasker instead?
How to I prevent the USB drive from un-mounting when going into deep sleep?
Any help is much appreciated.
Hello,
after we got treble I had to try lots of roms.
Sometimes on a daily basis I switched to see the differences and the best use for me.
Now I am stuck with play music, because every time I switched rom, there was a new device detected from play music. At max of 10 I had to remove some to let me hear my music.
Now I am stuck, because I can no longer remove devices, because the maximum is 4 devices per year.
Anybody know a solution for this. I don't want to miss my music for one year before I can remove the next device.
