Massive thread on this over here:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-wpmusic/zune-on-wp7-freezes-between-songs/e862bde0-fd1f-471e-9822-5c7a44746390

Remember to click the "me too" button to keep the pressure on HTC/MS to fix this soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Green Samot:
I had this problem during the beta mango and have also had it now I'm using the "proper" version.

It will always happen to me if I sync any songs to my phone at a lower bit rate than they are on my pc. They are all MP3's on my pc at 320 kbs. If I sync them directly I have no problems, as soon as I try and lower the quality then it will freeze at the end of a song.

I have put 32gb memory in my phone so at 320 kbps I can still have quite a bit of music on my phone, but I'd like the option to lower the quality and have more without it breaking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] digime:
Green Samot -

Try turning off Zune desktop audio conversion before you sync your MP3s (Settings->Phone->Conversion Settings).

In my tests MP3 files play OK as long at they are not converted by the Zune sync software.

I only have problems with tracks encoded with WMA 9.2 or later.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Indeed!

Thanks for the link. Voted.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Yes my Zune hangs from time too time, much to often when changing tracks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Yes it has been pulled from marketplace due to this bug.

But for everyone who got the mango update, I really recommend to do a hardreset. I did that and I don't have even one mango bug that are listed in various threads.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Finally I removed the HTC sound enhancer. It changes nothing.

My wp7 froze twice today while using Zune.

So, finally it's a Mango bug apparently.

So after the keyboard bug, here's another one. :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Sorry, but this is a completely unacceptable suggestion. Performing a hard reset destroys any saved SMS, any game saves, app settings, system settings, email account setup, and all installed apps. And before anyone tries to suggest it, connecting to Zune after a hard reset does not reinstall all apps, only the most recent ones. Plus, if I recently installed and then uninstalled an app, Zune tries to reinstall it again.

I refuse to go through that much inconvenience just to correct someone else's incompetence. The last time I had to go through a hard reset, it took over three hours to get my phone back to where it was, and even then all of my SMS and game saves were lost.

If Microsoft offered the ability to save/restore SMS, and to back up system/app settings and game saves, and the ability to review my marketplace history, and select the apps I want to reinstall after a reset, then it would be acceptable.

As it is now, however, no way. Not gonna happen. If they can't fix these issues without requiring a hard reset or provide the missing tools so that recovering from a hard reset isn't such a nightmare, they will lose customers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Amen to this.

But you know MS will take one year to provide a fix.

[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Well you can either spend just 3 hours to make a fresh hard reset or you can wait weeks or even months for a fix, it's your decision. You can copy your most important sms to a word document and upload it to SkyDrive. It's just a recommendation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Correction: you can spend three (or more) hours on the slim hope that it will improve some of the issues, with no guarantee that it will. No thanks. And copying SMS to a Word document is probably the stupidest "solution" I think I have ever heard. It is tedious, time-consuming, and doesn't offer any ability to restore or transfer them.

You want to be a fanboy, that's great. I live in reality.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mi123645:
Hopefully, give it time and there will be a fix. I've tried all of these solutions on my HD7S but still no go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] aquanaut88:
Personal experience with zunepass subscription content: quick fix is to delete zunepass subscription content from device and your computer. Hard reset device. Redownload zunepass subscription content.

Note: don't delete your mp3s from computer. Only delete drm-restricted content (inside zunepass subscription folder).
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I think you are right.

It seems I only starting having this problem once I downloaded some songs wih the Zune Pass.
[Windows Phone 7 General] digime:
Hard reset doesn't work. The problem just comes back. Don't waste time on this people. We need a fix.

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

Another nice idea but it doesn't work either. Again we need a fix.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
That is a stupid solution I know, but it's the only solution that exists. Or do you know a better method? I bet not... Man that was just an advice, you don't have to do this and you don't have to jump on me for this one either. What's wrong with you guys? So many are getting so unfriendly - unbelievable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Anyway, as an other user reported, it is useless to do a Hard Reset. ths bug will still be here.

* I now have a WP7 device freezing several times a day, which prevents me to use my phone as a MP3 player.

* I now have a WP7 phone with the keyboard disappearing and refusing to pop up when needed.

I am really fed up.

Apparently MS never test their OS/updates before they release it to the public.

MS really did its best to finally make me switch to Android.

I am a hardcore media user (movies, music, etc...), but regarding Movies: wp7 does not support Avi codec, and regarding music, WP7 does not allow drag and drop and Zune freezes my phone.

Also I cannot find any device with more than 16Gb, and no expandable storage.

Enough! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I will never buy a WP7 phone again. I am fed up being a stupid beta tester and suffer all the bugs and the limited features.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Well, sad to hear this. I am also quite out of ideas why this happens to some of you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shinygerbil:
Well, I'm fairly sure the problem lies with HTC's Sound Enhancer app (coincidentally no longer in the Marketplace.)

In the interests of Science(tm) I uninstalled Sound Enhancer while I was playing music and Sound Enhancer was activated. It uninstalled fine, and my music retained its enhanced sound qualities...even after I rebooted. O_O

Interestingly enough, Zune still locks up every now and then, but since removing Sound Enhancer (even though the changes are still somehow active!!) the frequency has gone from once every 3 or 4 songs to once every 50 or so songs. That is to say, it hardly ever locks up now compared to what it used to. But it still does, I can confirm this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] josepmanel:
I subscribe to almost anything you say, except for the fact that the phone somehow "retains" the sound enhacer qualities once unninstalled! I uninnistalled mine and the sound on my Mozart was rubbish. I decided to restore from a backup (since it was the only way to get back the app) and now Zune freezes, locking my phone up, every other song. So I'm really left with two options: either I have rubbish sound quality and my phone only locks every now and then, or I have "quite" decent sound quality and my phone locks every other song. This is not acceptable by any standards.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I now have this other bug....

The music stops a few seconds, and the player indicates "opening...."

What! Zune has some difficulties opening a mp3 which is in my library ??!

:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] doejohn531:
I had this problem at least 6 times a day after upgrading to mango. I have a HTC Surround and have the Sound Enhancer installed. I deleted all of my zune pass content since I noticed that was the only thing that was freezing the phone and stopped having the issues. (Using only DRM free content)

I also noticed (at least in my case) it was only freezing on songs I'd had either almost a month or over a month. I just deleted the zune pass songs and re-downloaded them the re-synced and didn't have any problems, until another month went by, same problem.

I'm not suggesting this as a fix by any means, but in my experience it's DRM'ed content thats freezing the phone. Anyone experiencing freezing with DRM free content?
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Exactly what I am facing now, when the song freezes and Zune says "Opening...." in the middle of a song.

But the songs that freeze are regular mp3 or wma from my own library. Without any DRM. They always played fine before Mango.

So I am not 100% sure that the issue is exclusively related to DRM....
[Windows Phone 7 General] doejohn531:
Well it was a guess. You know I listen to about 5 hours worth of Podcasts a day and never had that freeze. What's so special about MP3's that screw it up I wonder.
[Windows Phone 7 General] starbolt:
It's not just mp3s and definately not exclusive to DRM. I have a WP7 Mango device with a ton of WMA files, ripped from CDs so there is no DRM, and my HD7 locks very frequenty while listening to music now.

This sucks!

:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] mi123645:
There was an HTC firmware update released recently, not sure if it fixed it or not but I'm leaning towards no. This has to be an OS issue I believe.

[Windows Phone 7 General] israel.lopez217:
A firmware has been released by HTC. This is not an OS, Microsoft or Mango issue, this is only HTC's fault considering no other phones are affected. All sorts of phones like HTC Trophy, HD7, Mozart, Surround have this problem. People in the UK and other international countries have begun receiving the firmware fix this week, and only Tmobile in the USA has given it the greenlight. We AT&T customers with HTC Surrounds and HD7s are screwed. By the way I didn't read the whole thread, but if you set the screen lock to NEVER and leave the screen turned on consuming battery, the music never locks. Also if right before then end of every song you remember to press the power/unlock button to turn the screen on when songs are changing, the phone never locks. Finally if you are listening to music over bluetooth audio, or plugged in to AC power, the phone never locks either.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hwalker84:
Has it been confirmed that the firmware fix is for this freezing issue? I have a friend who I convinced to get a windows phone and she absolutely loves it but this issue is really pissing her off and i feel bad.
[Galaxy Tab General] sonicrhythms:
My GalaxyTab 10.1's screen just started to flicker and becomes completely scrambled which makes the screen useless. See the video below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6fMxjFdpJE

I've already shut it down and restarted it but this still happens. My tablet is in factory form (no rooting or overclocking).

Anyone else have this issue? I'm going to return and get a replacement (I hope) from Amazon.

hey man i'm sure someone over at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum may be able to help you. this one is for the 7" tabs. good luck.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
an article on WMPowerUser, here, tells of 9 issues that have come up with the Mango update.

i.e. decrease keyboard accuracy, battery not updating, etc.

are any HD7/HD7S users experiencing any of the mentioned issues?

experiencing any other issues not mentioned? if so, what?

sh4d0w86.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfn:
I dont have any have the problems mentioned although I had the beta unofficially.

I guess people need to realize its always good to full wipe/hard reset a phone after every update and this is true for android phones as well and also a couple of restarts to a phone for the updates to sink in.

I feel the keyboard is faster as well and the voice thing works you need to enable it under settings to get it to work, same goes for attentive app which is now in settings by default.

The only problem I had was with the HTC hubs which wouldn't load or update and the hard reset solved those issues.

I think MS has done an amazing Job updating so many different devices from different manufactures so beautifully, its not like just one iphone from apple.

I wish people always do a hard reset / reboot phone before posting problems as these solve a lot of issues just like computers a restart is needed when installing new software

Is the banding issue still there with v1 of the FFC camera?
[Vibrant Android Development] Tha Maxx:
if you have a rev1 camera then there are banding issues this is due to the camera it self. I bought the rev2 camera and there is almost no banding issues with front camera and none from the back camera. I am loving the FFC and i believe it was worth the investment.

which ffc

As a request, can those of you who say this works without a rotation problem report which ffc you are using? IIRC, the rev 1 and 2 cameras (from I9000) rotate differently than the rev 3 camera (from Vibrant 4G? I'm forgetting, but this is the camera that was supported by bionix Frost).
[Vibrant Android Development] kiapolo:
I'm using the camera from MobileTechVideos ( http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-vibrant-front-facing-camera-t959v/ ).

[Vibrant Android Development] Tha Maxx:
FFC

Thank you for your support.

CM-7 and MiUi Both Dont have any rotation problems. This is the reason that on CM-7 your build.prop will reflect i9000 and on miui it is normal. skype confirmed working gtalk confirmed working fring, tango, and quik

Not sure what your saying. but i have rev 2 and expierence minimal to no problems..... :confused:

I think that there will need to be a different mod for the T959V camera. It rotates differently than an I9000 camera. Maybe the camera files need to be pulled from the Vibrant 4G CM?
[Vibrant Android Development] Tha Maxx:
gtalk-fring- and some others the phone needs to be in landscape mode auto rotation enabled on the phone along with the degrees all ticked.

skype= both orientations work like a charm i just was using it with my wife/

I am on CM7 and not had a single problem and i have rev2 camera also.

do you guys think i should make the ui animations for cm7 and miui again

Also can i get some feed back on the ffc
