Help Music Player 'skipping'

[deman89]

Music player often skips, I can watch the bar go "15 seconds" "19 seconds"
"22 seconds" "27 seconds" etc... When I try to change songs the app just shows the album art spinning around. Then I exit (or force close the app) it sometimes starts up on its own?

it might be the audio-out connection. I noticed if I use a cheapo metal aux-in plug in my car when connecting to the eris' 3.5 mm jack, it does the same thing, but when I switched to a better gold-connection plug it solved the problem altogether.

Same thing with headphones. I was using some crappy apple headphones and experienced this issue but i then got a nice pair of skullcandys and i dont have a problem.

crappy mp3's?

 

[deman89]

The MP3's are nice Amazon MP3 Variable Bit rate at an average 256 kbp/s I'm guessing its my crap headphones...

I've been having the same problem since I got cheap headphones. If I start the player before I plug them in it works fine.

I've been having similar problems although it only happens when I receive a text message has anyone else experienced this skipping? If this is a multi tasking phone i think it should be able to handle listening to music and getting texts/texting/posting in forums at the same time (which lags as I am typing this on my eris and listening to a song). Its almost impossible to type at full speed because of the phone lagging and thinking I typed something else. Can anyone sympathize with this?

Ya it happened to me a couple of times. I just turned the phone on and off. But I've been using taskiller lately and it hasn't happened since...

Heh, guess no one's having my problems...so no one else's music skips when they receive a text message?

it's the phone lagging

It is absolutely happening to me. I have been talking with HTC to work it out and after weeks of BS I have figured it out on my own. They kept blaming apps that I have downloaded so I deleted all my apps and tried to troubleshoot which one caused the problem. Lame! Waste of my time. Then I did a hard reset because that was the only other solution they offered me. No luck. Then I tried a different AUX cored and it did not skip the music or have a life of it's own at all. I tried everything to make the problem happen and it wouldn't. So I guess we all have to buy really nice cords or headphones to get it to work!

I have this same problem when I hook my eris up to my car radio with an aux cable. Its a nice gold cable too, but still skips. It skips bad when I receive a text or a new email, it will sometimes stop the song for like 2 to 3 seconds and then resume playing. And it skips in the middle of songs sometimes even if I don't receive a message. I always use advance task killer to kill all my apps before using my media player and it still skips, wtf??

I have had the samen problem as well with my HTC desire. It fast skipps true all the songs as soon as i put it in my pocket.

ALSO the headphone icon changes to "headphone icon with microphone" although i just have regular headphone.....


I hope for a fix real soon.

I was having this issue but then all in the sudden it stopped. I don't know if it was because i was using blue tooth headphones, was running os 1.5 or running advanced task mamanger. But once i rooted and upgraded to 2.1 i quit using ATM and started using wired headphones, the same ones i had plugged into the blue tooth receiver and the skipping was gone. Also i noticed the problem didnt happen with other music players such as tunewiki or btunes. I really like btunes i just wish it had decent lock screen controls.

I'm having the same problem. When I receive a text it'll play a few seconds of the song and then just skip it and go to the next.
