Music skipping...

themystx2 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-06-2009, 11:10 PM

I have tried both S2P and Coreplayer, and MP3's that I know are skip-free will both skip at random times... Does anyone else have this problem? I'm using the adapter that came with the phone and normal 3.5mm earphones.

this happens to me alot and i use windows media player.i asked about this before and got no response.but i think that everytime your hand or fingers come close to the d-pad,whatever sensor that controls the wheel picks up your finger and it will pause/play.i could be wrong though....

That can't be it, as I have the phone on a cradle when driving and it still skips. It's something else I think.

it probably is as i was stabbing in the dark.i did notice that if you put your finger close to the d-pad it will pause for a nanosecond and start playing again.

I honestly just believe that it just bogs down and laggs. Nothing is optimized correctly. Just the nature of the beast when performance isn't top priority.

This is just an issue with the TP unfortunately. It sucks and drives me crazy too. There are some threads about it over at XDA.

I experience the same problem. I thought it might have been related to push email, but I haven't tried disabling it to test that hypothesis.

Are you guys all using push?

I only notice skipping when I hit the power button to turn the screen off. I use the music tab with album art and don't notice skipping while the song plays at all.

How often do you do a soft reset? Sounds like the TP is bogging down or it could be a defective SD card?

Oh, and I'm not using push mail.

I never have music skip, unless I'm using stereo bluetooth headphones and turn off the screen, which will cause a tiny skip once while it turns off.

EDIT: I'm also using WMP and the music tab, so perhaps it's custom players.
