Droid 3 Music Problem

My phone has been working fine for the few months that I've had it until mid-last month. What happens is whenever I try to listen to music using a headphone and put the jack in the slot, the phone starts calling the last recent number, hangs up, then immediately goes to voice commands, and back and forth for the longest time. The music works fine without headphones, but with it, it's unbearable to listen to anything, especially since its my primary device for listening to music. Can anybody help?

Hello jropes,
The Droid 3 is an excellent device to have, especially the music! The Droid 3 can hold a memory card with up to a 32GB of storage, of which can hold over 10,000 songs. Even though this is a very unusual issue that you are having with your Droid 3, I'm confident that we can get this resolved for you! To get a better understanding of the issue, I have a few questions for you. They are as follows:
What software version do you have on the device?
What audio format do you have the songs saved in?
Have you tried a different headset on the device to see if the results differ?
Are you using a headset that has the ability to make and receive calls from?
As demmo86rt stated, it appears as if the device thinks that you are trying to make a call. In addition to trying a different model headset, please verify that there isn't any debris in the earpiece of the Droid 3. If the issue persist with a different model headset then the next step would be a factory reset. I have provided a link below on how to complete a factory reset on the Droid 3.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=44747
As always, I encourage a full backup on your Droid 3 prior to completing a factory reset. Contacts can be saved using Backup Assistant. Calendar entries can be saved on your Gmail account. As for pictures, videos, and music, they can be saved on a memory card. Once the reset has been completed then the device would need to be re-setup. There is a brief tutorial on the device that will walk you through this process. Once the device is setup, please test all voice and data functions prior to adding music back to the device. After testing your services then please retry the music with and without the headset for audio playback. Please post your findings just in case you need additional assistance.
Thank you...

Creative Zen loading music problem

"Creative Zen loading music problem?I just started using a creative zen (DVP-FL000, 6Gb) player and i'm having?a few issues copying music onto it.
I have loaded the latest firmware (.2.03e) onto it and formatted it so was clean when i started loading my music on.
I'm using winamp on winxp to copy my music to the player, but occasionally i get tracks that wont copy to the player. Winamp just shows 'unspecified error'. If a file fails to copy it will never copy, no matter how many times i try. Somtimes its a random track, sometimes an entire album.
So i also tried copying the tracks that wont copy using windows explorer, it appears to copy but the file never appears on the device. The same is also true when i try it on my Windows7 laptop with explorer, it will appear to be copying but then part way through it will report that the device has stopped responding.
It only seems to happen with windows media files, all my mp3s copy fine. The files that dont copy probably represent about 0% of my music but play fine on all my other players.
sorry for the long post, just really scratching my head with this one!
anyone have any ideas?

solved
did a 'clean up' in the recovery menu, no problems transferring tracks since

Has anyone fixed the following droid razr problems:

Has anyone fixed the following droid razr problems: 1. the phone won't let me answer calls, if the answering screen shows up it takes 5 rings; 2.It takes about 4 attempts to end a call, half the time I have to wait for them to hang up; 3. GPS will stop and freeze; 4. phone freezes doing simple tasks; 5. It won't flip through easily; 6. slow (deleted texts and photos and still slow); 7.deleted apps still show on phone; 8. battery life is about 3 hours if used constantly; 9. some people cannot call me; 10. typed text takes a very long time to appear on the phone.

Try this:

Google Maps Navigation and Google Music problem

Hello,
I love the LG G2 but it has a few concerning issues. First, is the squealling, hissing, cracking, popping, etc. during phone calls, but I have seen that brought up by others.
The second problem that I've discovered, and the most upsetting to me, is that when using the Google Maps Navigation and Google Music All Access at the same time, whenever the navigation voice instructs a direction, the music shuts off. It is then silent until the navigation voice instructs the next direction OR when a new track starts. This was not a problem on my droid bionic, so it must be an LG G2 issue. This is a huge problem to me as I travel a lot for work and usually use GPS to find where I'm going, and I subscribe to Google Music All Access so I listen to music in the car. This problem makes that impossible to do (I have to choose).
A related issue, is that my Alpine CD player displayed track information (Artist, Song, Album) with my Droid Bionic, but with the LG G2 it displays 'UNKNOWN'. I find it hard to believe that a two year old phone has capabilities that a brand new phone wouldn't, so I'm hoping these issues will be fixed with a software patch.
Has anybody else experienced these issues, or does it work fine with your LG G2?

Hawaii is a part of the USA so you will be fine there. Mexico on the other hand, you will be roaming for data there and could see extra charges for international data.

Droid screen problems

My droid seems to have a couple of problems. One is, it's slowing down when changing screens. When I push the Home icon, it takes longer to bring up all the icons than it used to. Sometimes it flickers, just a little. And often when I touch the screen, nothing happens. I have to repeat it, sometimes a few times. Is this a common problem with the Droid?

Hello casusan,
The Droid is one of the pioneers that started the Android Revolution. Thanks to the creative design and functionality of the original Droid, there have been multiple Droid devices created to carry on the torch of the Android family. As most mechanical devices available to consumers, phones have a tendency to become sluggish over time. This can be due to a variety of reasons, one of which is low memory as Ann154 stated. Below are some steps to assist with sluggish performance on the your device.
Verify that the software is up to date on the device. Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates
Free up device memory on the phone.
Erase any old or unused apps.
Clear the cache, history, and cookies on the web browser.
Clear data on commonly used apps.Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Select app > Clear Data or Clear Cache.
Move music, videos, and pictures to the memory card.
Purchase a larger capacity memory card.
Perform a factory reset on the device. (See link below)http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=26502
Prior to completing the factory reset, it's recommended to backup all of your contacts and calendar entries. Backup Assistant is an excellent Verizon Wireless app that will store your contacts wirelessly onto the My Verizon website. Your Gmail account also have the ability to store contacts and calendar entries for archival. Once you have completed the factory reset, the device needs to be reactivated. There is a tutorial on the device that will walk you through the process. Once the device is setup, please test call voice and data service prior to adding 3rd party accounts and apps like Facebook, Twitter, etc. If you are still having issue with the response time on the device then please reply to this message for additional assistance.
Thank you...

Low Memory Music Problem

Itunes 7 imports music from cd's as high memory music formats e.g. apple lossless encoder or low memory e.g AAC encoder.
The problem I have is that the low memory options are all jumpy and scratchy and they import at slow speeds like 1.6x,
but the high memory ones import at 12x-16x speed and work fine, but each apple lossless album takes up 350mb.
I would really appreciate some help or advice.
Thanks

your sms, mms, emails, attached?
your internet cache and browser data.
to clean your phone, just enter the reset code to clear all data.

(make sure you back up your own data first before doing this)

Droid Razr problems

Has anyone else had problems with the Droid Razr flickering (flashes on and off in about a second) and it does it all day long for no apparent reason? I have turned it off for awhile to see if it stops, I have removed my gmail accounts (saw in a discussion someone suggested to do this. But when the flickering continued I put my gmail accounts back in). I guess if no one has any suggestions I have to go to the store. This has been going on for about a month but now it seems worse with this recent Ice cream sandwich upgrade. HELP!

Transferring music problem (horrible situation please help!!)

Hey yesterday was my 21st Bday my 2 sisters and one of their bf's got me the new ipod. My sisters bf has preloaded the ipod with 30gigs of music as a gift also (using his laptop) HOWEVER the problem is....uv guessed it....Does this mean i cant put my own CD collection on the ipod using my laptop, as this wil ask me to resync with the new library and hence delete the preloaded music? Can ne1 recommend the best way around this problem?maybe its happened you?
i shud also mention that i cant just copy the library from my sisters bf's laptop to mine as mine hasnt a large enough hard drive :s is ther the possibility of buying an external hard drive and being able to use it to store the library and then being able to add to it with my own music/videos/photos etc?
any help and advice wil be GREATLY appreciated =) thanks/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

Happy Birthday! I believe you will have to manually manage your iPod. First, open iTunes, click on edit, preferences, and the syncing tab. Check the box titled "Disable automatic syncing for all iPods and iPhones." This way you won't wipe out the music on your iPod. Now you can select the music in the iTunes Music folder, drag it to your iPod, and delete it from iTunes to save space. Also see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
Good luck!

Music problems with my new 5230!

I wondered if you wonderful guys could help me out with a couple of problems concerning my new Nokia 5230. I just received my 16gb sd card today and started transferring music files so I could listen to music on the move. Unfortunately I have came across a couple problems when previewing my music on headphones.
1. When playing mp3's from the start there are 2 quiet electronic clicks, sometimes even 3. The last click actually cuts the music out right at the start which is very annoying (music lover). Can someone tell me why this is? Being a sound engineer and a computer whiz I personally think the first quiet click(s) is due to the sound/music program activating and the final click has something to do with bitrate..So I did a series of tests concerning the bitrate and no matter what combination used..it still unfortunately clicked on all 2/3 accounts described. Infact the only bitrate that didn't have the final click with the audio cut were mp3's using 128kps so I'm thinking any bitrate above 128kps as my tests prove will cause problems!
2. I tried using the eq presets while on headphone mode and all the presets don't seem to change!!
3. Most of my mp3's in my collection has cover art and it seems that the nokia music player does not display them while playing(just has the disc with pink music note displayed all times)
Can anyone help us out here as if this isn't resolved then I won't be using this phone as a music device because that 3rd click is very annoying indeed and if it means I have to convert my entire mp3 collection to 128kps then I simply don't see the point in doing so!
Apart from that the nokia 5230 is a wonderful little phone!
Kind Regards, Mark

1. I am using a 5800 so I cant really comment. Xpressmusic range has been replaced by the X-series, so basically X-series is the new expressmusic with more emphasis on music.
2.
3. It would depend on whether your cover art is embedded into the file or not. Some cover art placing apps simply link the image to the mp3 file, so when you play it on your PC, the cover art shows. This is the case with iTunes (you have to edit settings for embedding). This is not the case with say, Ovi Suite, which embeds the album art into the mp3 file, so the file gets a little bigger because of the embedded picture. The phone will be able to play with album arts if the picture is embedded into the mp3 file. I personally use mp3tag to put tags and album art onto my files, but you can also use Ovi Suite which came with your phone.

Purchased music problem

okay so here is my problem. for some reason my itunes just would not open up i kept getting the message, "itunes has encountered an error blah blah blah". i spent weeks trying to get my itunes working again. finally after several installs and uninstalls i just had to get rid of everything in my computer that had anything to do with quicktime, itunes, and ipod and wallah my itunes is back. the only problem is my whole library is gone and the only trail of my library is still on my ipod itself. i havent updated my ipod for fear of losing all of my purchased music (which i stupidly didn't back up of course). does anyone have any idea of how to get my purchased music off my ipod and into my new library. help is greatly appreciated, thanx

thanx alot katrina that solved my problem...partially but now that i have my whole ipod including songs i purchased into my library for some reason those songs that i purchased will not go onto my ipod when i hit uppdate my ipod. any suggestions

IPhoto slideshow music problem.....

When the slideshow is played on the iPhoto Application in the computer, it plays all the music listed in the album chosen. HOWEVER, when exported to a CD disk it will only play the first song and then no more music for the rest of the slide show. This has been frustrating.....

Hi John,
this has been a know glitch that shows up for some .
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
From Lori...
Burn the playlist in iTunes.
Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
Put the new combined track into the playlist.
In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

5800 music problem

so i have a nokia 5800 and i am very happy with it...well except for the music player.
i was hoping that it would be fixed with the new firmware upgrade but sadly, it has not.
so when i'm jamming my tunes at random moments a song will start playing and then stop, now sometimes when it does this it will just skip to the next song on the list and when i try and play that song again it will come up with an error saying something about operation cant be performed(sometimes it says file is corrupt) or something and then the whole library will vanish, and when i'm not so lucky it will just stop playing and all my music is gone from the list but when i use file mngr, all my music is still fine and i can play the music fine from there, only one track at a time.
now i know what you're thinking, refresh library right...yeah that does do the trick sometimes. often right after i do it, half my songs don't show up or when it works the way it should it takes ages to load all my music(of about 1123 songs on the 8GB that comes with it) and by the time its finished i am at home or at work and have gone on without music(well i have a e63 and the music player is just not what the 5800 is...not even close so i don't like using it for music).
so...is there a way to fix this little problem.
thanks in advance for your time and help.

i've been facing the same problem.. Nd ths s wat i do to rectify it.. No hard soft resettin needed in the v51 nokia 5800.. It's a very stable firmware..
For other mobiles too, if its a card greater than 4GB,
Make a backup of memory card on computer.. Sometimes this fails..
Connect ur mobile in mass storage mode whn connectin to pc..
Ur card is shown in 'my computer'
Right click, goto properties and u'll find a checkd disc function.. Select it
After checkdisc is done, u can probably copy files now
WARNING, some files maybe half in size, esp those whch played half..
After u r done with backup, format ur memory card
Disconnect from computer.
Open music player on mobile
Perhaps it'l say 'repairin corrupted library' etc.. Let it do it..
If u dnt hv any file on memory, 0 files added wil be shown
If none of these occur, manually choose refresh library from options.
After this is done, reconnect ur mobile to computer
Recopy ur backed up files..
Problem solved..
Advice: if u hv an 8GB card or more, they are a bit different frm 2GB nd 4GB.. Try fillin the 8GB card only till 4GB and see how it works fr a month.. Then slowly increase the nmbr of files.. But if again the error comes, note how much is the used space. Then either get a new 8GB card, or a 4GB card or try to keep nmbr of files in ur old 8GB card below the used space when the error came..
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Dr. Shoubhik
