Iphone plays the same songs

Question

Hello
I have a Iphone 3g 16GB phone, I have 717 songs on it.
I normally connect my headset and click it once to play songs the problem is, it plays only the same set of songs over and over again (the shuffle is off nor I dont have any third party app for it) When I open the Ipod it shows playing 1 or 717 songs then 2 of 717 songs but when I click on the headphone again to stop it and click on it again to play it, it plays the 1 of 717 songs but the same songs from the list.
please help

I have the exact same problem but perhaps even worse. This is not normal behavior as some people have claimed. When I pause a song then go out and do something else on the iphone, +as long as nothing crashes+, when I hit the headphone mic button it goes back to the same place. But if program crashes in the meantime and even sometimes while I'm playing (which happens often with maps and safari), it always starts over with the first song in my library, which I've now grown to hate after hearing the first few seconds 10 million times.
Somehow a crash elsewhere on the phone makes the iPod app forget where it was and reset everything, even changing to the "Music" playlist, regardless of where I was initially.
I believe people were complaining that if they do something else +in the iPod app+ (not other apps), like watch a video or audiobook, it loses its place in other playlists, starting over. This can be a real pain for audiobook playlists. iTunes should have an option to remember position in a playlist as well as within songs. Not that hard to add!
