Hello!!
Hi I don't know if any of you experience this problem before but my Nexus 4 keep stopping the music randomly, it doesn't matter if I'm using the phone speaker or headset or streaming with Bluetooth.
I tried different music/media players too and the music keep stopping. I tried Google play music, mx player, power amp, Apollo. The phone plays like 5 or 6 songs and then stops suddenly, also its stops in the middle of songs too (thanks hp420 for reminding me) I have to unlock the phone and press play again.
I tried different roms and kernels and its all the same results.
Thank You in Advance

Same here. It stops in the middle of the song, sometimes. All I have to do is click play to get it going again, and it picks up where it left off, but it's annoying as hell!!
(running PA latest nightly with franco M3)
Same here . using rooted stock ROM and kernel . happens in Google music and nexmusic player .

When playing music via Google Music, sometimes the app skips to next song before the current one is done. Any idea why this is happening, and how to solve it?
My observations:
This happens during good internet connection (both on WiFi and 3G)
It happens to both "pinned" songs (cached) and the ones that are streamed. This happens even when the whole play queue is pinned (so there isn't a problem switching from cached song to streamed song)
All my music is via All Access subscription, so no songs are uploaded by myself (this eliminates the possibility of having a corrupt mp3 file)
After the music skips to next song, if I go back to the "problematic" song it plays fine to the end
This happens randomly to any song, and if a song skips once it doesn't mean it will skip again (this I find the most confusing)
Any help would be appreciated, this random skipping is frustrating!
P.S.: I have stock, rooted Nexus 4 running 4.3.

You could try to uninstall app or wipe the app data.
Are you using earphones or headphones?
Because it might matter.
I'm using Audeo PFE 112, so ones without any controls.
I've reinstalled Google Music, let's see if it helped..
Did you manage to get a solution to this? I've had the same problem on my N4 and previously my S3. I have noticed that it seems to happen when connected via Bluetooth. It seems to also be worse if I receive a notification, even if the notification sound is muted. if I use PowerAmp it's fine. In PowerAmp there are more options available to set the audio priority and buffer size. Could be down to that but obviously we don't have those options in the Play Music app.
I've got some more info that may be of use. It happens when I have an unread notification. It may not just be on Bluetooth as I don't read the notifications whilst driving obviously. This used to happen in PowerAmp when updating to Jellybean, however they fixed it. Makes no difference if notifications are on silent or if you swipe it from the notification bar, it has to be marked read.

I still have the problem. I will try to find out if it happens more when i get notifications and will report here..
This issue has been annoying the hell out of me for a few months now on my GNex on 4.3 (running AOSPA 3.99). Every time they push an update to the Play Music app I think "Finally!" assuming it will fix this issue, but no dice.
Mine is always on Bluetooth, and happens with streamed or pinned music. It will play whatever song I left it on when I last exited the player, completely, then the next song that comes up in the queue is the one that will skip after partially playing. I haven't timed it, but it's something like 20s or so. If I manually go back to the beginning of the track it skipped, it will play it completely to the end with no issues. I have found, from messing around with it, that if I proactively skip back/forward to another track manually before hitting "Play" it doesn't seem to happen. It's acting like when the player starts up, it "thinks" it received a "Next" button press via AVRCP and advances to the next song on its own.
Is that description consistent with what you guys are experiencing?

This is what I'm experiencing. Since it doesn't happen outside of that I'm not too upset.
This latest Google Play Music app update (5.2.1224L) seems to have fixed the issue for me.

Did anyone else have this fixed? As of today, the songs still skip for no apparent reason. Its happened on my GS3 and Nexus 7 2013. Both rooted and unrooted.
Same Issue
I'm still having this problem using my nexus 5 and Nexus 10. Both are running Android 4.4.2 and app version 5.4.1413N.1048534.
I'm having the issue too. I was originally using power amp and thought it was that. But i went back to Google play and it's more prevelent there. I not only get songs that skip, i get songs that play with the wrong name( songs father down the playlist play ontop of another song name) or it adds sounds that arent supposed to be there. Ive even had a song playing in slowmotion. I used to never have this happen. Last time i did a transfer of music ( pc to phone) was almost a year ago.
I'm using the LG L90-4.4.2
I have the same problem on my head unit 4.2.2. Is it possible to force the PRIORITY for google music app?
Same skipping problem
I am having the issue quite a bit on my home wifi with sonos system playing through sonos app. Every 30 minutes or so, 2 or 3 songs in a row will play about 5 seconds and skip to the next. Really annoying when you actually like the song it is skipping. I'm using iPhones, iPads and windows computer with the sonos and it does it will all computer types. I am not hitting buttons inadvertently. Did anyone figure this one out?
I have the same problem on my ZTE Z820 Obsidian.
I have this problem, but not with this phone. I think it is related to some aspect of Google music. I am using BubbleUPnP to stream to a Raspberry Pi 3 running RuneAudio which has the Debian standard MPD player embedded in it. BubbleUPnP runs on 2 Android phones - Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (4.4.2) and Moto G5 (7.0).
When I stream from my own UPnP server, fine. When the streaming source is Google Play Music, I get these symptoms. No internet issues, no mobile data, just domestic broadband and ethernet/wifi LAN. Every 3 or 4 songs it just skips to the next track half way through a song. Maddening.
Hi guys, I have the same issue with my One Plus 5T. Did you find a solution?
thanks in advance
The problem went away, but I can't remember why. I think it may have been to do with the buffer in RuneAudio which was too small/big. Or maybe a new version of Play Music came along. Sorry.
Marmite.
One if the better features on marshmallow was to allow the connection of Bluetooth head phones for audio, within regular apps this works flawlessly such as youtube, crunchyroll and the lean back launcher. Within Kodi there is always a silence gap of anywhere from a few seconds to 20 seconds at the beginning of anything been played, even if it does start to work as soon as you skip or pause the silence is back. I can see there were people complaining about this issue months ago and then nothing so I'm wondering if I've screwed something or people just don't use bluetooth headphones.
Currently I'm using the latest stock marshmallow and the official Kodi v16 (though I've tried them all with the same outcome). Also it happens with any file format.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I think it has something to do with the quality of the streams in kodi or the cache size. However, I have no idea how to resolve it. What I do is I start the movie with earphones turned off and once it is playing then I turn on the earphones and it works. If I pause I lose the audio again.
I don't know if it's just my nexus but when listening to music if I go above 70% volume roughly music starts to cut in headphones like every 2 seconds and becomes choppy, is my device faulty?

Not on mine. Could it be your headphones that are faulty? Are they wired? Bluetooth? Does it happen with local stored music and streamed? Is it only on films and TV shows? Have you modded or are you using a custom ROM or kernel? What have you tried to test and alleviate the issue?
Ok, i have a strange problem.
My N4 is connected to my car via bluetooth. When ever the connection is resumed the N4 will automatically start the standard music app with the only song thats on there. It does not resume my podcasts or streams. Adding to that annoyance, it sometimes just switches to the standard music player without any actions taken. I listen to a podcast and have the phone lying in my car, me not touching it. After some minutes it switches to the default music app. It's random and not reproducable.
Is there a way to get the phone to resume whatever was last played when reconnecting bluetooth?
Any insight into this problem is much appreciated :good:
I think this is happening when whatever music so you are using is closed to free memory. The car looses the stream, then send a play command through the BT stack, and the phone starts the default app. First thing to do is see about freeing up memory to reduce the likelihood of your app getting closed out. Second step, look for settings within your so that will help keep it from being closed. A persistent notification will usually help. I'm using Podcast Addict and it does a great job of this, but I think the most effective thing was making sure I had free memory.

Thanks for the input, it's much appreciated. Apperently MM solved the problem for me. Haven't had any hiccups since updating and every stream is restarting properly :good:
