Help music skips when screen is off!!

[ren857]

OK. I accept that that sounds like a viable reason for the problem, but why did it only just start happening suddenly 3 or 4 days ago? I've had the phone since November - listening to music on a daily basis - and have never had this problem before Tuesday.

I have no idea. I also had my phone for a few months before it began to skip.

I recently had this trouble and traced the problem to a bass boost app that I was running.

I hard reset my device 2 weeks ago. Since then, I haven't had a problem. However, I have been using the stock app to play my music. I have also used Pandora and Xiia Pro for streaming and so far so good. I have not installed Power Amp. I will continue to only use those 3 apps for a while to see if I have the problem again.

Interesting.

I just bought a Note 2 and am having this problem. It is incredibly frustrating to spend so much on a phone that doesn't even function as a music player! Music doesn't skip when the screen is on, but for a variety of reasons that's not a tenable workaround. Has anyone found a solution? My phone is stock, not rooted, using the stock music player, the music is stored on the external SD card.

Do you have any other music apps installed?

I haven't had an issue since I did a hard reset a month ago. I honestly think that PowerAmp was my issue because that's the only app I haven't reinstalled. I'm using the stock music app now and I've had no problems. I'm still using Pandora, Songza, and Xiia Live Pro with no skips.

Thanks for your reply. I haven't installed any other music apps at all. The only other music apps I have are the players that came preinstalled - AllShare Play, Music Hub, and Google Play Music. I'm not opposed to downloading a different player if that might help; just wanted to give the stock player a chance first.

I've also had no further issues since a recent firmware update. I use Winamp.

It happens with default as well as other music players

Started using Google's Play Music instead of the default Samsung app and it seems to be working flawless for now.

When you plug in your headphones there is a new home screen that comes up for your music. The "ear phones" screen. Go to that screen. Select (and hold) to drag each widget in that screen and remove it until the screen is empty. Now go to the gear icon at the top right of the screen and disable the earphones screen. If you play music with an app with an EQ, it will still skip but much less. If you use the stock music app, at least in my case, the skipping is completely gone!

Hope this helps!
