MP3 playback speed problem

My girlfriend's elf plays mp3s faster than their real speed. The pda was mine before and I hadn't noticed this because I didn't use it for listening to music.
I've searched through the forums without success, the only thread I found says that I have to call myself on and the playing speed jumps back to normal. wtf!? Which seems to be true.
Anyone can help me to solve this problem? This is a must have feature for my gf and I really don't want to sell this cute elf. MP3 playback is faster as a ringtone, too.

me too have the same problem..at first i thought it was because of the 4gb sdcard i use, but then i realise that was not the cause..i listen to mp3 a lot using my elf and everytime the problem occur, i have to soft reset my device..thats the only way to have it play by normal speed back..

I thought I was the only one having this problem, I don't usually use my phone as an mp3 player but this can be really annoying.
I don't think it's a ROM problem because I've changed my ROM 3 times already and still this occurs.
I hope someone can give us a fix for this.

my elfin plays mp3 and other audio files faster too... but then video playback seems normal for me... my workaround to this problem is to plug the original htc earphone, unplug, and it plays normal again...
any more useful fix for this problem???

Do you use software to overclock the processor's clock? (omapclock, batterystatus, etc.) I'll try this on the weekend and fire up a new rom, too. SRSWow is just for the quality of the sound, am I right? Or should I give it a try?

overclocked or not, playback is still fast
switching roms doesn't help (tried Onyx 5, 6, Miky, Mega, Ahen roms)
plugging in and out of the earphones is my only solution
EDIT:
is there an app that 'tricks' windows that a headset is plugged??

I don't know such an app but I think we can call ourself on by code which seems to work. Doing this in every 10-60, etc. minutes could solve the problem but this method is the last one I want to use. Would be really ugly.
Have you tried srswow hd? There was a thread where somebody said that could help. (And others said it doesn't.)
Anyway, I think we have to watch for windows messages. Get the messages invoked by the headset plug in and out and others that related. Maybe we will find something
Unfortunately, I don't have better idea.

I already tried srswow and it doesn't help
I'm also trying htc hardware equalizer, but same effect as srswow
even tried other media players like coreplayer, tcpmp, audio manager but none worked...

Several tims I have also faced the same issue "Fast Play MP3" but In Onyx I never faced this issue...

@premsoni4u
which Onyx ROM are you using?
Because currently I'm using Onyx Ultimate 4.9 and I'm still having the same problem.

It's not just the mp3, folks...
It's actually everything that has to do with audio on our devices... from your ringtones, sms alerts, even the system sounds.
it sucks big time... i don't think anyone's found a solution to this yet.

No audio playback speed problem in Onyx 6 series!!!

Presently I am using Onyx 6, Release-7, WM6.5 and never faced this issue in any version of onyx 6 series.
Today I am going to flash Onyx 4 series (Specially 4.9 ultimate version) to check the issue and will report you guys, if issue persists...

Hey guys I would like to jump in the wagon.
I'm having the same problem too
I'm using the dsixda's ONYX 4.9 JR version
Anyone can give a hand on this problem? It's really frustrating

hi guys
i have the same problem with you guys for a long time
in fact its since the very first time i used my elfin with a cooked ROM
until today no one have a fix for this
i've posted this problem a number of times
only solution for now is to reset the phone
but it's kinda annoying to keep resetting a couple of times a day
but when i tested it with 6.5 ROMS this problem doesn't occur

Anyone?
This problem is becoming increasingly annoying... In the span of 6 months or so that we've been having this problem, I noticed that the frequency of the problem manifesting itself has increased...

I used to have the same problem earlier. At that time, I used to reset my phone and it used to start playing mp3s at proper speed.
I currently have the latest Onyx Rom (link in my signature) and I've never faced the problem after installing this ROM. Maybe if the problem persists, try using a different player (Nitrogen is my favorite).

Can any1 help me.. MP3 songs are playing a bit fast in My touch..

facing the same problem... any luck guys?

hi all

Another solution is just dial any number and make your phone on speaker. once you hear voice on speaker just disconnect and again you are able to play music on your elf/in at normal speed...
(Tip: Just dial your own number so you will hear only busy beep and no other will be disturbed)

[Q] Bugs and Questions for OMNIROM 4.4 Nightly

Hi,
I recently flashed my Samsung s3 i9300 and installed the Omnirom-4.4-20131112-i9300-NIGHTLY build.
I came across the following bugs. Some are already listed over the web , but thought still to list them together to see if they hav been fixed, or are in the process :-
1) Sometimes music doesnt play with headset. Have to remove the headset, play it once on speakers (duration doesnt matter, a milisecond would do too ), and then plug headsets back in, and it works.
2) When i lock or unlock a phone while music is playing, there is a sound (something like a thread or something got stuck for half a second and the music note got repeated).
3) com.android.(something).systemui crashes sometimes.
4) I couldn't find a default File Manager. I don't know if stock android has something like that or not. Just thought to bring it to Notice .
5) Cell Broadcasts with garbled messages.
6) My Cell (not battery. I removed the battery to see if it was hot, and it wasn't. Though, the lower part of the cell, where the Exynos Processor has started overheating a bit. Tasks performed while doing this :-
a) Downloads
b) Music Pkayback + Surfing
c) Games.
7) I want to know if the builds include an OTA update system or i need to flash my mobile again to install the latest nightly. Because nightlies have been released till December, but my mobile shows "Your system is up-to-date) in Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates
I checked and found that the latest nightly for 4th December has been released, has any( or all) of the bugs been fixed ?
I'll give out more bugs, as and when i get them
Thank you in advance!
PS : Great work people. First time i flashed my phone, and i really liked it

8) In Video Playback, i don't get any video. It's just audio. Also tried on custom app MX Player.

[G900F] Major issues with CM12.1. Any suggestions for a more stable ROM?

Hello XDA,
I recently got my hands on an S5 (SM-G900F) and it seems better than my Nexus 5, so I want to make it my main phone. As I do with all my phones, I immediately removed the vendor's bloatware/spyware by rooting and installing some custom ROM. This time I started with CM12.1, which seemed to be OK based on various comments here and reviews online.
However, I've run into several serious problems.
1.) Erratic Bluetooth behavior:
When paired with my car audio system, there are frequent pauses and "static" noises. Also, sometimes, when it pairs with the car, I can control the music via the car's navigation buttons but the music plays through the phone's speakers (!?!?). One more annoying issue: it pairs but sometimes wont start the music player, no matter how many times I press the "Play/Next" button on the car system.
2.) Wi-Fi Issues:
No matter which Wi-Fi I connect to, after a couple of hours I get the warning icon and I cannot access the internet (and it won't even switch to mobile data), so I miss important stuff without realizing. This is fixed by simply turning the Wi-Fi off and on again but, still, it's a show stopper.
3.) Random vibration:
I don't understand why the S5 just randomly vibrates in my pocket or why it vibrates and the screen turns on whenever I move it. I've found it unlocked and with random apps open, many times, after taking it out of my pocket...
4.) Bad Camera app
The Camera app that came with CM12.1 cannot take a single good picture; they're all blurry. It seems to have a problem with auto-focus. I had to install Snap Camera to take pics.
Since I originally installed CM12.1 based on positive feedback here on XDA, I would like to be a bit more cautious this time and ask people with more hands-on experience with the S5 to suggest a more stable ROM for me. I don't have any particular preferences. Anything that can run Nova Launcher is fine.
Thank you very much for your help

Hello, first time posting on XDA.
Recently bought a G900F aswell, rooted and flashed straight away the latest build of CM 12.1. Glad to see someone with the same issues as me.
Starting with the camera, I also notice the blur and the extreme auto focus problem. Good to know that others have it because I didn't even try it on stock so I was worried it was a hardware problem, going to give it a try on it or on another ROM to see the difference. I had a P970 and it also had camera problems initially with CM so I'm guessing it's normal for klte since there are only a few nightlies out yet.
The random vibrations are a thing, the phone heats sometimes and the battery autonomy isn't the best.
As for ROM's I'm going to start with SIXPERIENCE 7.0 because CM isn't kinda giving it to me yet, but I'd gladly hear which ones you guys recommend.

Stock ROMs are incredibly stable and smooth with a new launcher like Nova

S4 Stock Music Player & long sound files problem

Hi All,
I have several DJ mixes in excess of 2 hours long which I like to listen to on my S4 i9500. The problem is, e.g., I have one mix which is 2 hours long and when trying to start it passed 110 minutes it cuts out forcing me to play the mix from anywhere before 110 minutes. The error I get is "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file" which is BS because it does. The stock music app also (sometimes) doesn't read the correct length of the file if it's (e.g.) in excess of 2 hours long.
Please note my music files aren't broken - my music files are formatted in mp3 and flac & play just fine on my PC.
I'm suspecting this is a limitation of the stock music player? Video files play correct - I have no problem forwarding a movie to a specific point in time.
Would anyone kindly shed some light on this matter?
Ps. I'm on Android Lollipop.

Google Play Music does the same. Can't forward more than like 110 minutes into the mix.
This has got something to do with Android I'm sure.
Am I the 1st person to encounter this issue?

many video players support playing music files, they really shouldn't struggle with long files.

Found an old thread on XDA regarding Android stock music player not reporting correct file lengths and music tracks skipping in Lollipop. The fix was to use Nu player in dev options. This helped ZERO for me. Anyway, seems I'm talking to myself here...
To whomever reads this, kindly grab a mp3/flac/wav/whatever sound file longer than 2 hours and try fast-forwarding to the end. If your song plays without error, I'd like to hear from you.
If not, welcome to the club

My new S6 does not have this issue. My assumption is that it is probably the roms I have/had on my S4 responsible for doing this. Probably ported S6/Note 5 stock apps would be my best guess.
I never used stock firmware on my S4 i9500 because it was too slow - maybe the problem isn't present on stock roms. I don't know & probably won't ever.
Anyway, I'm putting this one too rest. And my old S4 as well, 'cause it ain't matter no more. It's purpose was served. Sad but true. Chow!

Stock lg roms sound problem

Hello. I like to use this phone for about 2.5 years. I tried all kinds of rom, kernel and mod. No latak ever made me happy up to the 4k and 120 fps modes. In recent times, however much I am hanging out in the current android versions, the camera event attracts stock-based ROMs every minute. I am using stock 30f for the last 1 month. But there is a problem with lg-based rom, I can not find any help anymore, no matter what, here in xda or elsewhere.
Simply put, the problem is lagging both the headset and the built-in loudspeaker. While the music is playing beautifully, it sounds like it is for a second. This usually sucks your music in a terrible way. I've tried a lot, but all the android 5.0-based ROMs have this problem. There are a few ways I tried:
-Install or remove the current stable version of Viper4android
-Stoke kernel xceed kernel dorimanx current kernel all the same.
- There is nothing to do with or use stereo speaker mode.
There is also no connection with this practice. My own music player, YouTube, especially Spotify ... As far as I can see, it's not a single FM on the radio.
I'm cold on the phone because of this incident. Do you have a g2 prayer between you. The solution to this problem?
