I have a Canadian note 4.
I have an issue with Bluetooth music playback, sometimes it skips 1-2 seconds of the song every 30 seconds.
This is huge issue, there are many forums on it. I think it's about time it was addressed!
I've tried everything to fix, except rooting and increasing the cpu when the screen is off.
If anyone has this issue or has found ways to fix please reply in here. Google is putting this problem as a low priority issue. Which is wrong!
Take a look here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=95294
Even the new note 5 and s6 are experiencing this!
I occasionally have skipping audio, but a reboot fixes it for a few days/weeks.

Hello all,
Coming from an iphone 3gs, I've had a wonderful experience with the Galaxy S, thanks in large part to the XDA community - Supercurio in particular.
His EQ fix for eclair elevated the Galaxy S audio quality over the iphone 3gs (IMO) which i used as my main music player, and with Froyo the EQ problem was resolved completely.
However, for me, and for a few users as well, a very nasty bug persisted - mp3 files would skip and jitter every 2-3 minutes in every song, and this for an audiophile was unacceptable - and frustrating to the point where i had stopped using the Galaxy S as my main portable player.
Having tried a number of solutions (eliminating widgets, shifting songs to external sd, using a task-killer, bashing my head agaisnt the desk etc), only one worked to put the problem to a permanent end:

pr0virus: "Its from the CPU throttling during playback.
I had the same problem until I noticed while looking at a system panel app that while music was playing my processor would down-clock to 200 sometimes as low as 100mhz.
Got setCPU, set the minimum it would throttle up to 400mhz, kept it on conservative and haven't had a problem. "
So there you have it - Root phone, Install setCPU, set minimum processor speed to 400 (200 works as good in my case) and voila, you have the best PMP on the market!
Also, remove weather and toggle widget as that causes the skipping too
Many thanks again to everyone involved!
I haven't really thought about this problem for awhile. I recently started using my Galaxy S as my primary music player, be it mp3, m4a or flac. The problem is that it always seems to have some issue with a song during playback (aka: a glitch). It is infrequent, but very annoying. My S9 never has an issue, nor did my Clix2. Regardless of file type, and maybe not often, but it happens.
Initial experience with Froyo (xfjp7) was good. Last night it reappeared during playback of an album. Last song and all of a sudden that brief but distracting "glitch."
Will definitely give your advice a try. Thanks,
El Mono
I have this issue with my phone as well, but not consistently.
It goes a step further, though. Half the time it starts skipping, a second later the phone will actually turn itself off. The only way to get it to turn back on is to hold the power button for a long 10 seconds.
Anyone else seen this?
Think the setCPU fix will resolve for me as well?
I've experienced this kind of glitch or lag maybe twice or three times at all with my phone, and it was because i was listening to music, using maps, youtube and internet. I put my songs on external sd card, which seems to be better. And i also use voodoo lagfix (i don't know if it changes something, but my audioplayer became much better).
Hope it helps someone!
Cheers!
@omersak i have been suffering with this problem intermittently, and it was really getting to me and ruining my morning run! after searching i realised it was wrong to blame poweramp or supercurio! i did exactly as you said, but set for 'On Demand' and 200mhz minimum. have not had A SINGLE glitch since!
excellent work! thanks so much, i highly recommend this to anyone with music glitches!
Use poweramp, u can change the buffer settings and audio is fantastic!

Weird little problem with my Galaxy S4, tried 3 different roms including stock 4.4.2.
Was wondering if someone knew of possible solutions.
videos freeze, audio keeps playing, then after a few seconds, the video resumes in fast forward, until it catches up with the audio.
It's nice that it forwards and catches up, but how can I prevent this?
At first I thought it was MX player, but I noticed it happened while using netflix as well.
Doesn't always happen, which is the annoying. I managed to watch 3 episodes of Dexter without a problem, then the 4th, problem.
On a different day, the first video I tried, it plays fine, then about 20 minutes into the video, freezes.
Aside from an Odin restore and wiping everything, does anyone have any suggestions on fixing video related problems on android?
Edit: Crap , it freezes when playing games too..GPU problems?
I have had my Oneplus Two for over 3 months now and always have the same problem with my Bluetooth. At times the Bluetooth media audio and phone calls works flawlessly, but other times it gets extremely choppy to the point where it skips a second or two at a time continuously. I have noticed that this mostly happens when I get a call while music is playing and the phone changes to the phone call and then changes back to the music which becomes choppy. But also happens at times when the phone just connects to the Bluetooth. This problem/bug happens to all my Bluetooth devices car/speaker/etc which points to the oneplus as the culprit. Manually turning off Bluetooth and turning back on and connecting to the Bluetooth player resolves the problem. As I thought this was a problem with OOS I have waited it out for the MM update to come, but got annoyed and flashed CM13 on my device and the problem is still present. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and if so how did they resolve? Thanks for taking time to read this post and any answers are greatly appreciated.
Tldr: Bluetooth audio extremely choppy at random times looking for solution.
S7 Edge Exynos - SM-G935F
Often when playing audio through speaker, whether that be streaming/downloaded music from GPM, through YouTube (both app and safari) and other apps sound (like games) after a while the sound will just cut out. If it's music or a video, it continues playback, just without sound. It's seemingly completely random - sometimes I can play music for hours without a problem, other times it will happen nearly instantly. Pausing and resuming will play sound for maybe 0.2 seconds before it mutes again, or sometimes fix it, I can't think of any reason why this sometimes fixes it and sometimes doesn't. It does not happen when using headphones. This happens both pre and post root.
I've spent a few hours googling it and the only solution I can find is disabling OK Google, but this didn't solve my issue.
I have a suspicion it's a faulty headphone jack, but I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. Is there a way to get a status bar icon for showing that headphones are plugged in?
Fair few of us have had this issue, have a look at this thread.

Ouch. I seemed to miss that thread. How irritating...
Happens everyday (even with my S6). It'll stop when audio is playing for a bit, or after I hit the volume button. It doesn't do it constantly through out the day, but it'll happen atleast once everyday i'm listening to audio. Anyone else?
Anyone?
It is happening with my S8 either when playing games or youtube and even music.
This problem started after the software update. So i think it is a software issue..
Whenever the sound cut off, i just lock the screen and unlock it back....
Hope Samsung will release a software update as soo as possible
Games is fine for me, it's just players like YouTube, music apps, and players inside websites. Just gotta press play again. Pretty annoying, but happens atleast once a day, not constantly through out the day.
It happens to me in Youtube and NBA app when video is being played.
Sometimes the screen just shuts off completely too.
I agree it's not consistent.
To add, sound not working sometimes when i am using skype and even sometimes for my alarms.
What do you think, is it a software problem or hardware?
Seems to happen more through out the day now. It's pretty annoying.
This just started happening to me yesterday. I've tried restarting my phone, pausing the video and playing it again, turning the volume all the way down then back up. All of those things restore the sound but it'll cut out a few seconds later. Also audio plays just fine in my headphones.
I dont have my s8 yet, but this sounds like a problem I used to have on a previous galaxy s phone (i think it may have been the s4). It turned out I had a setting enabled where the player pauses or stops when I'm not looking at the screen. It's called smart pause. Could be something similar although i'm not sure.
Uggg
Same problem here. Got the s8 less than a week ago and I use spotify offline (downloaded) and Google Music for downloaded files and it always pauses after about 15 minutes, sometimes sooner. I don't use battery saver, and none of the 'smart' features are enabled. It happens with headphones, without headphones, on Bluetooth. Just pauses the song and I have to hit play again, super annoying and I can't find any fix. I'm really regretting this purchase.
I also have S8 and currently experiencing this kind of issue. Every after 1 minute of playing either youtube or videos on my phone it paused and I didn't even clicked it.
I have a problem like this on my s7edge. Then I thought it can be related third party apps. And yes when I uninstall Sputnik news app, it solves the problem.
