I can't seem to find an answer anywhere to this and I am starting to think I am the only one with this problem. Basically when listening to a podcast at ~1.9x or faster the audio stutters and produces a static sound. Waking the screen immediately stops the issue. The issue gets worse if you increase the speed or enable the "skip silence" feature.
I made sure to disable any battery saving options for the app and enabled any workaround options within the app. I even contacted the developer who pretty much just said that the phone is governing the processor too low with the screen off. I have tested other podcast apps and they seem to function fine even at faster playback speeds. For some reason, this only affects Podcast Addict.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Anybody have a suggestion for a fix? I am completely stock OOS version 4.5.6. I have the 8/128GB model if it makes a difference.
Edit: So I have messed with it a little more. It seems to have issues even if the screen is on and the app is not in the foreground. Within ~5 seconds of being put into the background it begins to stutter.
I have the same exact problem. Happens wired and via bluetooth.

I recently updated to Podcast Addict beta and the problem is not as bad as it was (although still worse than on my ancient Note 3).

I have updated my ROM to IJ9 but the ****ing annoying bug still remain.
When I'm listening to music with wired headset, if the screen is off, music STOPS with no reason. This happens always, but with random times. Sometimes, minutes after screen goes off, sometimes one hour after.
It happens like the same with both TouchPlayer and WMP. But TouchPlayer have hiccups when the screen is off.
Closing and reopening the player, and replugging the wired headset seems to solve, BUT i don't want to do it everytime.
Anyone facing this bug?
..sadly, it can only be solved by turning off the motion etiquette...
I'm trying it disabled this week.
Some Samsung implementations are a real shame.
My life is now better with etiquette off. Maybe i will implement it by myself.
Jun... if you implement a better etiquette plz let us know

I think you're talking about the exact thing that's been really getting on my nerves too: music just stops for no reason but restarts when you press the on buttn, or music skips and jumps like a gramophone record! There is a huge post about this on the HTC forum, and even a little patch (sorry for not having a link for you.) But anyway, I tried the ptch on my B7610 and it didn't work. I see it says here to disable the motion protocol - how do you do that? I presume that's something to do with G-sensor. I'm surprised so few people have mentioned this problem, but it does seem to be a Win Mobile thing rather than a Samsung or HTC thing.
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:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...-playback-stock-player-samsung-captivate.html
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!

I'm running the latest 4.3 stock update, but I have been having related problems in 4.1 and 4.2.
While listening to mp3 audio over ad2p bluetooth the Nexus 4 occassionaly stops playing the audio and the next thing I see is the "X" on the startup screen. The system is not actually crashing as I can see from uptime. so I guess its just the android run environment that has crashed.
I had similar problems in 4.1 and 4.2, though I believe some of the time it would manifest as a hang with a black screen and I had to power down/up and really reboot.
I assume its the bluetooth since I'm using it when this happens, but to be fair listening to audio is the only thing I do with the phone for sustained periods. what ever apps or browsing I do is generally only for a few minutes at a time.
I have used a variety of bluetooth headphones and also the car bluetooth and it has happened with all devices. Switching bluetooth connections seems to be an aggravation, but it can happen without a swtich. This happens maybe once every couple of hours, Sometimes more sometimes less.
Any ideas on what the problem is, or how to do track it down?
Haven't gotten any replies to this since I posted a month ago. I assume this is not a common problem. Is it possible its a hardware problem that should be addressed under warranty?

Anyone else experiencing audio gaps while playing music with screen off?
App doesn't seem to matter (Play Music, N7, ...), Boeffla Sound enabled, Eargasm preset, no saturation prevention, no privacy mode, earphones and speaker boosted and optimised.
Any obvious suspects? Any hints anyone?
NB: Yes, I do use a custom kernel, but I can't tell who's the culprit, so I ask for others experiences to allow to find the cause of it.

Hi
I do not know if this is related but since I installed Omni (coming from latest AOKP); I have issues with my Samsung HS3000 Bluetooth receiver, i use poweramp and I experience a lot of skips when playing music (poweramp is set to automatically turn off the screen after a few seconds); I increased buffer size, poweramp priority, bluetooth priority but the skips remain... Playing thru headphones directly plugged in is ok
Hey guys,
I've been having this issue as well, and I've managed to narrow down what's wrong, but still haven't been able to fix it or find out what's causing it. I'm using stock kernel with the latest nightly on a GS4 i9505.
The issue seems to be that the device is constantly going into Deep Sleep mode. Go into the Performance tab in Settings (unlock Developer Mode first, I think) and have a look at the Time In State data. Right now, for 12h of uptime, my phone is showing 8h of Deep Sleep, despite me using it as GPS and listening to Audiobooks for most of the work day. Even more, it's been happening while I am actually USING the device.
Additionally, it's reporting that my Max CPU speed is 0 MHz, with Min at 486 MHz. Any time I put the slider up to full (or anything, really), it forgets it and goes back down to 0. I've changed Governer and Scheduler, and even used other tweaking apps to control the kernel, but nothing seems to stick.
On the whole, I'd really not mind too much except I listen to audio books while I'm working/driving, and having it skip and stutter because the phone is struggling to process the audio is exceedingly frustrating.
Going to take a closer look around for this, now that I know what the issue is. Putting it up here so you guys can look as well.
Cheers.

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.
