.... should not take too long to narrow it down :D

EDIT: Froze all the above apps using Titanium Backup, was all hopeful after I got one hour pause free use......then is paused and paused again several times after :(

There MUST be a reason why some of use suffer from this, just need to suss out what the heck it is ! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shorty_blitz:
This might sound crazy but try cleaning out the headphone socket!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evil.weasel:
... Thanks for the reply shorty_blitz :)

I have tried that using a contact cleaner spray on a jack plus got the air compressor on it, but that also failed to clear the fault for me, but may help others :)

I see where you are coming from - a particle may be shorting out the contact points, causing the phone to believe a headphone remote has requested player to pause music. But the problem does Not occur on my second ROM running CM10.1 with only power amp installed extra to default apps.

......... The search continues :)

Damn but if it isn't an app we're pretty screwed... Maybe a specific setting?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evil.weasel:
Have you got both the motion and voice commands settings turned off (I have and it makes no difference) ?

There is a solution, just got to find it :)

Got the same problem and it is sooo annoying... Experiencing it since installed Resurrection Remixed 3.1.0 (If I recall correctly).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
It might be a faulty headphone port or the headphone is not fitting snugly in the port. That would have the same effect as the headphone being taken out, which will pause the music player.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niemarawi:
Don't think thats the problem. My spotify (or defoult google player) pauses, even if I don't use anyheadset, and I am listening music on a speaker.

AW: music randomly pausing

I just got the 4.1.2 ota update and strange things happened. the problem is now even worse:The stock mp3 player and the Google music player as well stopped immediately after pressing play (1 second after) that happend ten times in a row. I then started deezer (music streaming app) and it worked fine for 5 minutes. Then I started the mp3 player again and it played for about a minute before it stopped again.

Is it possible that the problem has something to do with a change of state of a connection? Because when I put the device in airplane mode it stops immediately. every time

I tried it out and put the phone in safe mode. The stock player played through a whole album without stopping. Hmmm
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evil.weasel:
I performed a complete wipe of ROM Inc storage and partitions etc, then reinstalled fresh ROM. This has cured the issue for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evil.weasel:
.....the problem re-occurred a while after the full wipe & new ROM. As I gradually added back the apps I was able to pin the problem app down to Moodagent by Syntonetic (shame, love that app!). Removed that app and all has been well for half a days continuous playback.

I was using TTpod, and also had LBE Security installed, I uninstalled LBE, everything is perfect!

If you installed some of this kinda application, could be that related
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firemonk3y:
i have exactly the same problem with random pauses where i have to manually resume playback. i had the problem on stock rom so i tried Android Revolution HD 25.0 (based on stock 4.1.2) but i'm getting the same issue.

I guess it must be an app i've got but its going to take a while to pinpoint it because mine can play for anwhere between 30sec and 30 mins or more without pausing so if anyone has any suggestions at which apps i should try removing first i'd be grateful!

Hmm The only apps I have installed that you also have are Deezer and eBay, and mine is pausing on all music players (except Deezer, oddly). It was the same on my S2, the only player I could use was Deezer, it never paused either when streaming or playing stored music. Everything else did. I'm using Spotify for the first time on my S4, and that pauses as well

I'll delete ebay and see what happens.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firemonk3y:
i had the same where it paused with any music or video player including deezer and i've just been enjoying my pause-free music too much to get round to reinstalling more apps to pinpoint the culprit ;)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quark_star:
I started getting this issue too recently - coincidentally after installing Deezer. Since uninstalling the app, I have not had it happen again.

There has been a couple of updates to the app since though, so it might not be a problem any more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graviticvortex:
I had same issue with different phones and different ROM's.

In my case culprit was Deezer app. As soon as Deezer was uninstalled, problem disappeared, Afer installing Deezer, problem was there again.

Since i switched to Spotify and no longer use Deezer, i dont have this problem anymore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbpf77:
In case anyone is still having issues with this, mine appears to have fixed itself. It coincided with me getting a new micro sd card. Not had any random pauses on any app since then.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahall1988:
well i havent had this problem in months. i flashed cr droid rom and installed all my apps 1 by 1 and it never paused itself again. also i have to say i used to have deezer installed as its free with my orange contract, but i havent reinstalled it in months so i will try reinstalling deezer and see if it comes back.

Had the same problem, it was driving me mad! Thanks to the previous posts, I Narrowed down the app to IMDB. I removed it and haven't had the problem since. I also suspect that moving to app to your SD card would work as well, just make sure to shut it down completely after use.

Play Music Randomly Pausing on Samsung GNII

I noticed while listening to Google Play Music on my Samsung Galaxy Note II that it would randomly pause every 5 to 10 seconds. I have recently installed Tasker and setup some automation using the continuous voice recognition plugin called AutoVoice. When the continuous voice recognition was turned on it would randomly pause. But with it turned off I didn't have any issues with the pausing. I am posting this to maybe help those with the same issues and also to see if I can get some clarification on to why it is doing that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karasuhebi:
According to the author of the AutoVoice plugin, this is a bug in Jelly Bean:

audio keeps stopping pausing clue

I have this on my galaxy s4 and have been all over the place and disabled various apps, and contacted Samsung who said to clear the Music app cache and data and if that fails (which it did) do a factory reset (might work but is a harsh solution and pain in the &*s so did not try yet), but since then I have notice that it absolutely happens each time the phone switches from WIFI to mobile data, i.e. if the WIFI goes out or you enter or leave a signal area, and also vice verse, when you got from mobile back to WIFI. This is not a solution, but maybe someone can use the info to figure it out, it is very annoying

Another common app

***UPDATE - NEW INFO***

So, I spoke too soon...

I had played music for over 1 1/4 hours while browsing and playing games with no pause/stop issues at all. However, when I stopped actively using the phone and the screen shut off (I have it on a 2 minute time out and no screen saver), the music once again stopped, 1st time within a minute of screen off and second time after 3 minutes, I then used my phone for 10 minutes while playing music with no issue.

Could this be power saving related? maybe an app clean up process?

Ideas anyone?

{ORIGINAL MESSAGE}

Hi guys,

Same problem here,

after reading this thread though I realised there is another major common app that most people had in their list - ES File Explorer.

This app not only has file snooping abilities, it also has a player ability and is one of the only Apps I have had with these capabilities on both my old S2 and my current S4 which have Both suffered this issue!

I have just uninstalled ES and have successfully been playing my music for the last hour for the first time in years...

I will miss ES, it was great for file tracking and movement, but Meh, I'll find another...

Thank you for all your great help in finding and narrowing down the issue, it will be nice to actually be able to enjoy my music again finally!

I will post back if the problem returns, but at this point, I am thinking that it has cleared!

Happy listening all!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaspersOnIt:
***2nd Update! ***

OK, after more forum searching I found that people had been having problems with task managers cutting their app out after screen time out (auto kill feature).

Most just had to add the music player to their 'Ignored Apps' list in the task manager, however I, (using the 'Advanced Task Manager' app) had a problem that a few others have experienced, where the task killer app has chosen NOT to ignore the music player and ends the app when it does a clean up!

I have simply disabled autokill AND task killers 'Start up when phone does' option!

Again, at this point I am still testing, but as of now my music has been playing for over an hour with screen on and off at will, while using and idle and in a truck while being bounced around hectic!

Looking good so far, will post back if any new updates or fails...

Hope this is a help!

I had a really strange problem. a while after upgrading to jellybean I couldnt select the install button if I want to install a non-playstore app.

I wouldnt post this thread here, if the problem wasnt caused by something we discussed here:

the problem:

cant select the install button, just the cancel button​

the solution:

disable screenfilter ;)​

I only wanted to let you know because we discussed about brightness levels and maybe someone had (as me too) the idea to dimm the screen a little bit down using screenfilter...
