Hello,
Since a few days, neither listening to music nor watching a video is working.
Regardless of what I do, be it deleting everything or resetting my phone, as soon as I want to play a song or a video, the app force closes and my phone reboots. I have also tried it without being connected to Zune, same problems...
Can this issue be related to the recent updates?
I have an unbranded phone with Mango and all updates, updated via Zune...
Synchronising by the way works flawlessly, as does viewing or taking pictures...
Does anyone encounter similar issues and/or has an answer as to how to fix this?
Greetings,
bopsch

I know I have seen a thread about this before but I can't recall if it was on XDA or perhaps Droid Life; XDA seems to be the generally more knowledgeable group of people so I thought I would ask here.
I experience frequent lockups and or reboots (I know one causes the other, so...) when doing most anything media related. They are related but come in two different varieties:
1. Music Playing. I typically only play music while on an airplane and most of my flights are at night, so I will try and load a playlist then lock the screen. Almost always I will get through about half a song and the phone will reboot. Testing has revealed the reliable way to cause this is simple: Start a song, lock the screen, turn the phone. It wont wake back up and if it does it will freeze until it reboots or you pull the battery.
2. Movie Playing. Since I obviously don't turn off the screen while the movie is playing, the above is not an issue. Sometimes - but not all the time - while using the built-in movie player the phone will be completely unresponsive. I cannot pause, stop, or change volume. The movie will continue to play just fine though. I haven't tested what happens when the file ends as I usually notice it near the beginning of a file and must have the ability to pause it. There's no reliable way to get this to happen, although it almost always happens while in-flight (again, the only time I really use it, so that doesn't mean anything).
I know other people have experienced these issues before, but are there any reliable SOLUTIONS? I have rooted before, before the 2.3 update. The 2.3 update bricked the phone and I SBF'd my way back - root was gone. I re-rooted some time later, then undid the root in order to use Flixter. Just yesterday I did the .621 update and again bricked the phone, SBF'd back to life again. I'm not ruling out the history of rooting to have causes these issues, but I'd like to fix it if I can.
Thanks to all!
I've had my S4 for about a week now and only put music on it a couple of days ago (I had been waiting to get a micro SD card). It's a Fido SGH-I337M, 16 GB. I rooted it using Motochopper. There's a strange thing that keeps happening every time I pause an MP3. After pausing, when I try to unlock the phone from the lockscreen, it freezes up and crashes (happens every time). Sometimes it ends up rebooting.
Now, this only happens with MP3s. It does not happen with FLAC files. I've searched high and low on google for other instances of this and have found nothing. It seems like it's a software bug but I tried restoring to factory settings and it continued to freeze up. I tried unrooting it and had the same result. The crashes happen whether the MP3 is on the phone storage or on the SD card. It's not due to any of my downloaded apps, because after doing a factory reset I was able to recreate the MP3 crash before doing anything else to the phone.
Anyone know anything about this or can offer suggestions to try fix this? I'd like to try to resolve this before I take it in to get it exchanged.
Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me out with this issue I've been having with my Galaxy S3 Neo.
Some time ago my phone started to randomly crash internal android services and processes. It kept working after reboots until up to a point. The things that didn't work properly were Music apps, phone and (so I figured) all apps that somehow are connected to audio. A factory reset did not fix my issue.
I brought my phone to a local repair shop and they fixed it with some sort of factory reset, which they told me was done over reinstall by PC.
It worked for a few months and I had no problems at all.
Now, since a few days, my phone starts acting up again.
I don't get the crash reports like I used to get, but it's 'dying' nonetheless.
It started with the Facebook app not working anymore, it kept 'looping' the 'setting up facebook'-message and crashing the locations process, so I deleted the app.
That helped for a bit.
Now:
- I can't call anymore, it hangs.
- I can't listen to music, it hangs.
Again, any sound/audio related apps make my phone crash or hang.
The Music app, I can start it up, press play and it just doesn't respond. It says it's playing, but the counter remains on 0:00.
The weird thing is, that when I hook my phone up to my Bluetooth car stereo, it plays music fine.
It seems that whenever the phone is trying to connect to the speaker, it has issues...
A factory reset through settings didn't fix it, and neither did a hard reset in recovery mode..
Help is required!!! Please!!!!
I tried CWM, wiping everything, put CM12 on it, but no luck. Could it be that the speaker(s) is (are) dead and Android can't work properly when that happens?
Hello,
I have a Galaxy S4 which used to run a cyanogenmod install. I have recently moved to what I believe to be stock Lollipop but I am encountering some problems. I am not sure if these problems are unrelated or not so I prefer to present them all together in one place:
1. Random reboots. I am aware Lollipop has had random reboots as an issue for a while now, but my symptoms do not match exactly what I could find on the internet. The reboots happen randomly throughout the day (does not matter if phone is charging or not) and I have noticed they happen a lot more frequently if I am in a space with not mobile signal (but I do have wifi). The reboots happen when in safe mode as well. I have also tried removing the sd card, but that did not improve the situation.
2. Audio sluggishness. I occasionally get slow downs in audio when listening to music or podcasts. I have noticed this both when using headphones and Bluetooth speakers. I am not sure, but I don't think I've ever noticed this when playing audio over the phone's speakers. The audio effect sounds like someone is slowing down a vinyl disc for a couple of seconds. It happens almost exclusively when the screen is off. It also happens more often when listening to music over spotify or podcasts over podcast addict than when listening to music over the Google Music app.
3. Random connect disconnect to laptop. When connecting the phone via USB to the laptop, it randomly seems to disconnect and reconnect to the computer. It happens more often when I try and move the phone (although not consistently) but also when the phone is untouched.
4. Occasional phone slowness. Haven't noticed it happening consistently, but the phone does occasionally seem to take a couple of seconds to reply to simple commands, like, say, displaying a list of all open apps.
One of my concerns is that I might have the wrong firmware/baseband installed and that might be causing issues. Is there a way for me to check I haven't done something stupid? What is the easiest way of posting my system config here?
Thanks!
Just updated to 10.3.2 and now my Pandora app will only play one song and than on the next song it will show playing but I have no audio. This is only happening on one bluetooth device. I have tested it on multiple other devices and it works fine, it also worked fine before this update.
I tried forgetting the device under bluetooth, wiping data from pandora along with uninstalling and reinstalling pandora. I can't seem to find an answer if its possible to completely wipe all bluetooth data.
I tried wiping data from the system apps Bluetooth and Bluetooth MIDI Service but that did nothing. I am rooted with magisk.
Same thing has been happening to me a for a while now but I'm using Google podcast, Google music, and iHeartRadio.. I have to exit the app and start it over again. Happens every few hours and sometimes a couple times per hour... very frustrating
Top. Is there really no other solution to this other than a full wipe?
