Hi guys,
I have been a silent follower but now I really need your help to get out of this mess.
Bought an s5 SM G900H on 23rd apr(India), since the very first day noticed a strange issue that when listening to songs for a long time, say an hour at a stretch the music app just crashes and then when I check my running applications all of them show restarting without actually restarting the services.
After this the phones response becomes pathetic and every app crashes the moment I start them. I have to reboot the device to get it working again. What seems to be the issue?
Only happening when I listen to music for quite some time.It seems the phone is just not able to free enough ram as ram usage peaks and no amount of killing all apps frees any ram.
Should I not get a replacement phone? Samsung svc people were telling me they'll update the software and then see, but then my DOA period would be over. I am regretting my decision to buy the phone.
Help guys!
Ps: Checked with kies and on sammobile, I am already running on the latest build. G900HXXU1ANCI
You thought to restore the factory

Already did that buddy. It did not help. Anyone who has a solution. It is frustraing to restart your device every hour or so.

Does this happen with the Samsung Music app or also with Play Music? I use Play Music all the time and didn't had any issues yet. *knock on wood*

Got my device replaced and its still giving me the same issue. So to conclude it, there is some bug with samsungs music player as this doesn't happen with play music app. Don't worry bro it'll be patched in an update soon and a g3 may also have certain bugs at launch. All this is a part of new device hitiing the market, bugs are to expected.
BTW is yours an exynos model or snapdragon? Mine is exynos.

hi buddy! im glad i am not the only one xD I thought i had a defective device.
and for g900H, it is the international model of exynos chipset. g900F is the international model of snapdragon 801.
I thought this was a hardware issue. I hope they can do something about this. Samsung plz
Have you also seen a rare issue that your power button stops working? like if the button doesnt work. I think this may have been a problem related to greenify without root. Im scared to try it again so, if anything happens, you guys should know. xD uninstall greenify and restart.

Hi Mate,
The thing that surprises me is how an issue or a bug like this escaped the samsung testing team.
The power button at times becomes unresponsive if the services are stuck at restarting. Not just that the whole phone starts acting weird, my finger print scanner won't work intermittently and every app crashing, the homescreen resetting etc. I spoke to Samsung Head Office here in India and they asked me to send a detailed mail about the issue. I have done that. Now the best we can do is wait for them to release a fix.

Reboot once and then use google play music app for your music. No issues whatsoever. I have in fact hidden the samsung music app.

Yeap, thanks, I just downloaded it and looks like it crashed but lets see what happens if I listen to music for 1+ hour- I will report back.
Interesting, same use case in a G900H:
If wouldn’t be a Samsung phone without the occasional crashes and sadly, the S5 is no stranger to this. Despite being on KitKat 4.4.2, the S5 will lag intermittently and at times crawl to a halt, forcing you to restart the phone. We noticed this couple of times when listening to music. The song would just pause itself and OS would simply stop responding.

I have the Sprint version stock LG g2 and can not find an answer to headphone button issue. Not matter what set I use I can not get it to skip or pause track. One click goes to dailer two clicks calls last person. Hold the button goes to voice command. I have tried every app I could find. Nothing works. Best I can get is a set from galaxy s3 and s4 will control volume but button does same thing. I keep reading online that s4 set works perfect. Any ideas I really don't want to root if possible

Same problem here. I rooted yesterday, but still don't know how to resolve the issue.
Just seams with as many people that use there phones for music, Pandora, etc that LG would have fix for this. I love the phone. I think it's the best one I have had in a long time but music lovers have to hate this issue and hope a fix is found.

I too can't believe that this is not a widely known issue. I have looked through all of the stock settings and have not found any control for this. I have also looked through several Xposed modules and found nothing.
Having seemingly got rid of my alarm clock freezes and other weird stuff I still get problems with Play music on my note 3
It hangs with app not responding. I use all access and the crash occurs when browsing around albums etc, whilst playing a track.
The log report shows caused by:
"ANR keyDispatchingTimedOut"
I've looked at comments on the Play store and searched around, I can't find any recent threads on this issue.
Not sure if this is my note having issues again or is it common?

Well I'm glad it's not just me, although sorry you have problems too. I'm amazed there are so few with this problem, that or they don't use xda. I was beginning to doubt whether people could be bothered to comment on my bug finds lol
Just wondering about your settings. Could be a crash caused by our specifics.
I use high quality streaming on 3g, internal memory for cache. Cache during playback selected. stream and cache via wifi only are unchecked.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well , I use almost the same setting than you do , except "download via wifi" is checked.
I think it could be something with cover arts , do you download the albums that you have uploaded on Google servers?
I 've a couple of albums I've uploaded , and I like to see nice covers , maybe if you tag your MP3 with a cover "too big" , it could make a problem with that "java.langOutOfMemory error?
Really it is only an assumption , I don't know too much about programming and stuff like that...

I do have a few albums that I uploaded a while back. Some don't show a picture as it can't find any cover art. I'm going to delete all my uploaded stuff and see if that makes a difference. I have most of it on Dropbox or my sd anyway. I'll let you know.

Actually , I've deleted all my music cached on my phone , and just by browsing my collection online it crashes...
Also , I've found a micro SD card , so I've tried to insert it in the phone , and chose to cache the music on it.Guess what , crash
Must be a memory leak or something like that , since when I restar my phone , it works for a couple of minutes before it crashes.
I've sent like hundreds of crach logs to Google , emailed the support , and I see I'm not the only one to have the issue.
If Google doens't push an update of this application , I guess spotify will get my 10 euros/months.

Yeh I've sent loads of logs and tried to email support. I haven't even had a reply back.
It's not good having to pay for such a crap service. I notice they have made it harder to contact them now, took ages to navigate all the useless forms/topics to get to send an email. In the end I emailed them on an address I used over a year ago. Still not heard back. Going to try calling them on the nexus sales line and see if they can give me a contact.

I tried something , that could be totally wrong but it doesn't cost anything to try :
Go to Setting - Application manager - Running - Google Play Music.
Then you should see 2 services , and one named something like "Art download " or something like that.
I turned that service off , rebooted the phone and played 10 minutes only with the application without crach
It could be only a coincidence but who knows?
EDIT Don't even try , I just had another crash.....OK Google play good bye for good.

I'm sure you probably haven't but have you had problems with:
A: The stock alarm clock failing and crashing. Ok since my last factory reset.
B: Google maps crashing randomly
C: Blurry pictures with low-med light and black lines in video recording with wifi enabled.
D: Is your note a new build or one of the first released?
Just wondering if the first batch of note 3s have faults with memory etc.

I'm sorry , I can't remember , there was a firmware update as soon as I unboxed it , and now I'm on stock XXUDMK2.
I'm just amazed this phone has 3 GO of Ram , and I only have 10% left.
I'm pretty sure this is because all that Samsung bloatware that eats all the Ram.
Are you on stock firmware? Maybe Cyanogenmod could do something for us ?

Lame because I like to play random trivia with my gf so she expands her music horizons

But usually it takes some time after a reboot before it crashes , so let's wait a bit....
EDIT OK one crach already , but this time it does not ask me to send a log , just "Google play music has stopped working".
Humm I think I'll stick with Spotify then , after all it is at least as good as Google Play.

I dont know what uses so much ram. and sometimes camera takes a picture but picture looks broken and same. touvhwiz launcher restarts... sometimes...but frequently.
anyone knows?

So is your warranty.
I would love to do the same. as I did with almost every device in the last years. but Knox Status is a realy pain in the ass. My device now responds quicker after switching to another launcher, but it's even snappier after a restart. Touchwiz simply is a pain in the ass.

yeah, warranty is gone now coz of knox...
but hey without root you cant even change music with volume buttons...
use swipeback, gravity box, titanium backup etc... we are losing so much freedom for warranty.
Once I proof that my device is not defective 4 one month, i will root it...

I dont know if this has already been posted (im sure it has and mods can delete this if need be) but, the stock music app is a battery and RAM drainer and leaker, so much to the point where it cripples the phone into an unusable state. In order to fix this problem, i would recommend switching to Play Music, as it still has SD Card rights and doesnt generate this horrible problem. (This is what i am now doing) just wanted to inform anyone who didnt know/had the same problem i did!

Yeah, i was using the app for the first time yesterday during class, and it kept cutting out for no reason. I figured out the solution on the ride home. Play music seems to be working fine though! I dont know if Samsung can update it via samsung apps or play store or if it needs to be via OTA update, but they need to fix it.

Hmm there might be a way around that. I was also looking to get the email app eventually. But i ran into a similar issue way back on a older device. I just need to find the apk.

Sprint users did not get it and i would greatly appreciate it if someone could upload it for me. A LG rep informed me there is one but sprint did not get it.
I tried like 20 other music apps and just not liking them

There is a possibility that all of you have already tried this but... I could do a backup of the apk and post it. Then download it and see whether they work with your variant or not. (i mean, it worth a try, right? Let me know.
One is the music app and the other is the widget i believe. These ones are from T-mobile's variant, Nevertheless, it is worth a try
I get package is corrupted when trying to install

Let me try another method. And then im going to zip it. it would be less susceptible to get corrupted that way
Here The files zipped
There. If they dont work, then chances are carriers are becoming even more b**chier than they already are.
in the zipped file you will find: Music, music widget, and email app
Same issue all corrupted

Alright. I checked all the files on my pc using some tools to check for corruption and they pass the test. Which means that,,,, Your carriers are being b**chy. Perhaps the signatures of the apps are different, that's why it takes it as corrupted files. Then again, im barely starting to learn programming and all that, but i have been digging around on XDA since 2014 LOL. Anyway people, I WISH YOU THE BEST LUCK TO FIND THE WAY TO GET WHAT YOU WANT! :good:
Yes I did all of this day one. I quickly realized that the carriers hands were all up in it. Hopefully there will be a way eventually to get the stock apps.

By the way, have you noticed that no matter how you do the back up of the app, there is always a file with a format (systag)? that never happened to me with samsung galaxy s or notes devices. Then again, that file is only showing the apkpath as if it were presenting the file.
I believe the issue is happening because you can't sideload the apps, maybe placing them in system/app but for that we need root.
I may be wrong..
Ive tried several different ways. Even using an app to restore it.. Its a no go. Maybe because its a tmobile app and they use some kind of special security code that prevents other varients. But kbrn post above might be right... Might need to go in the system/ and require root...
same issue and im on att. kind of funny since this phone is marketed toward the audiophiles. play music does decently though
You'll probably have the same result, but here's 3 music APKs from my rooted T-Mobile V20.
If someone could get the gallery to work I imagine it's possible for the music app as well... I hope.

Want to see this work.. .I loved th LG music player back in the day and dont like play music so much
Can you tell me where in the device the file is stored? I checked system/app but do not see the music app. I do have it installed. I am on Verizon.
