Music randomly stops on iphone 3G

Hi everybody,
First excuse my english as I am french.
I would like to have some advices. I bought an Iphone 3G less than one year ago. After a few months music started to stop from time to time. I couldn't hear a song from the beginning till the end. And then the whole machine started to shut off. I went to an Apple store and the machine was exchanged. The engineer told me that if the problem appeared once again, it would be because of the datas from the old iphone.
So when the problem appeared on the new phone, i erased all datas. But still i can't play entire songs, it is worst than before. Even the music bought on itunes can't be played right.
I've heard that the new firmware (4 and followers) is not right for the iphone 3G. But if this is true, what solution do i have ?
Thanks for your advices !

As a former sound engineer, I'd say that the audio quality on most Apple iPods is generally not that great (the original white iPod shuffle being a notable exception), so your comment regarding the iRiver doesn't surprise me. It wouldn't hurt to compare you iPhone against another unit though just in case.
There is a problem with the built-in iPod and iPhone EQ settings in that they boost the bass without reducing overall level, thus causing the signal to 'clip' and producing audible distortion. Given that many CDs are mastered for maximum volume, there's not much you can do about this other than turning the EQ off or selecting a different setting. The same effect is audible in iTunes, although you can use the 'preamp' setting to reduce the volume level before the bass boost is applied, thus minimising any clipping. Some types of music and CDs are worse than others, so not everybody will notice this problem, but it can sometimes be quite pronounced.
I have reported this as a bug to Apple in the past and suggest that yourself and others do the same in the hope that they will fix it by applying a similar 'preamp' boost or cut appropriate to each of the built-in EQ settings to avoid the distortion.

Music randomly plays on Iphone

The music on my iphone keeps randomly playing even though I have not pressed anything, and the app is not open. Recently I even deleted all of my music from my phone to stop it but Apple has a few songs in my itunes, and now those play. I have an iphone 4 and ios7.1. How do I stop this from happening?

This is the first time I hear such an issue. Are you sure that it is indeed the Music app on your iPhone which is responsible for the random playback? When you unlock the iPhone what application do you see open?

My music randomly stops playing while using meetme app.

whenever using my iphone 5s my music will stop playing happans with local music and spotify i contacted apple support and they wanted to bring it in to look at it. any ideas?

Hi,
I am having the same problem with my iPhone ever since I have upgraded to the 1.1.1 firmware. I have had the following problems.
-Music stops playing when surfing the web.
-After listening to music and exiting iPod mode. The play icon in the status bar still appears. To fix this I initiate iPod mode,play,then pause the song and exit ipod mode.
-Bluetooth icon apears in status bar randomly. I just go into settings and turn the bluetooth off. I think this happens when I go in and out of air plane mode.
-Screen freezes. I just wait and it usually unfreezes or I have to reset the device.
I have 3-4 gigs of free space.
and have tried reseting the phone to fix the problems.
Thanks
-James

Music randomly stopping

I purchased my Xperia Z3 at the end of last month and everything seemed fine until this week. I will be listening to music or watching videos on YouTube and the audio/video will randomly stop. I am unsure whether this is a problem with the headphones or the headset itself because I used a second pair of headphones and the random pauses happened on those as well.
I did test out the phone's waterproof feature but this was when I first purchased the phone, so its unlikely that this could be the problem. Any advice would be appraciated.

were are the videos and/or music stored? which video/music player are you using?

Music randomly stops playing (same problem in multiple apps)

Since a few days, my Z1C will randomly stop playing sound, while I'm listening music. It will do this up to multiple times per minute, seems somewhat like a online game lagging really badly, after which it will just pause.
It does this on multiple apps (I tried it on the following
- Spotify
- Walkman (or whatever the music app is called now)
- Audible (audiobooks)
The issue happens both when I listen through my bluetooth headphones (Jaybird bluebuds x) as well as on speaker.
I have had the phone for somewhat more than a year now, I recon. The headphone jack is broken because of my own rough handling, but that wasn't a big deal so far because I use bluetooth anyway.
Anyone know what to do about this?

Hi Bmot,
Welcome to the community.
You could try booting the device in to safemode, at least this way you can find out if software is the suspect or if it is more likely hardware.

IPhone 5 iOS7.0.4 Music Randomly Stops Playing

Beginning the week of 12/24/13, when listening to phone's Music app, or Amazon Cloud Player, songs will stop at random times. Sometimes 10 seconds in, sometimes 1:30 minutes in. No particular reason, just stops.
I did the following:
Shut down apps completely and restarted
Shut phone done completely and restarted
Adjusted settings so that only music downloaded to phone was being shown (nothing from the cloud)
Connected to iTunes and un-synced all apps, music, movies, etc so that there was basically nothing on the phone. Then re-synced all.
Restored phone from backup
Problem still exists.
I would do a factory reset, but if the issue is with the software, then reinstalling bugging software wouldn't do any good.
I've looked through this community board for other suggestions and think I've done all of them that have been presented. Looking for additional assistance.
Note: I've been streaming music from Slacker app this morning and had no problems, which leads me to believe it's something with the software.

Do you know that SMS is a carrier feature and not an Apple feature, so when you contacted your phone carrier what did they say?

Music randomly stops/starts and Siri activates itself?

I have an iPhone 5, with an updated iOS and everything. Lately I'll be listening to a song with my iphone sitting on a flat surface and the song will suddenly stop itself or start skipping. Also, sometimes in the middle of the song it will stop and Siri will activate iself. I don't have "Raise to Speak" selected in the Siri settings. This just started happening randomly the other day! Has anyone had similar issues? It's very frustrating. I tried holding down the home and power buttons to do a reset, but that didn't work. I thought maybe it was just the songs I was listening to, but I tried it with other albums and podcasts and the problem persists.

Back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

Music randomly stops playing.

I recently purchased the new iTouch 4G. I haven't had it for no more than 3 weeks. About a week ago, I was listening to some music and it just stopped playing. It has done the same thing a couple more times. The iTouch has also randomly reset it's self. I tried restoring it and it has done the same things it's been doing. Do you guys think it's a defected iPod Touch? What do you suggest I do?

Tough problem. It can be an app causing those issues. Even a restore wouldnt fix a bad app from harm.
Because that problem is hard to reproduce(its random) what I would do, is delete a few apps at a time, and continue like everything is fine.
You have an entire year it is a defective touch. So within that time, just try to find out if its an app.

Music randomly deletes from iPhone music library?

I currently have an iPhone 6, and I have quite a few downloaded albums. However, once and a while I will notice some of my songs or a whole album have disappeared. They are not gone, the way I have to get them back is from going into the purchased music on iTunes. I would like to prevent this. I do share the apple ID account with three other people.

Music is also disappearing from my itunes library and the above does not resolve my issues.
Firstly I forgot the password for my original itunes username 10 years ago so set up a new one then. All the music I bought from the first login name has now gone - how do I get it back? Secondly albums that I have bought / been given have disappeared - itunes now says it cannot locate original file and sends me to old itunes libraries which, when I click on them, don't seem to work. I am very upset as the first album my son bought me has now disappeared and I want it back!
Can anyone help?

My iPhone just randomly stopped working

Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone has been having this problem.
What happened was, when i was listening to music on my iStation at home the music randomly stopped, i thought i maybe the iStation stopped working but it turned out that my iPhone had stopped working. I tried to turn the iPhone back on but it didn't work.
After freaking out for about twenty minutes the screen turned on. It was the screen that appears the first time the iPhone is turned on saying to connect it to iTunes. I did this and restored it and it's working now but i lost many new contacts and many important calender dates.
Just wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else and if i should be worried that it will do it again.
Thanks

I suggest subscribing to mobile me because when you enter a new contact or calendar event it automatically goes to the mobile me server and when you do have to restore your phone those contacts come back as soon as you enter your mobile me information. That was great when I upgraded to the IP4 because until I got home I had all my contacts on my phone without syncing to my computer.

My iphone 4 when playing music suddenly stops.

When playing music on my iphone the music randomly stops as the volume slider image disappears as the song is playing. What to do?

try doing a reset all settings!

AppleTV + iPhone randomly stops playing music.

My dad bought a appletv a few days ago and i set it up in his living room, about 40 feet from the wireless router, and it has 4 bars in the wireless settings menu. Everything is working fine, except when playing music to the appletv over airplay, it will randomly stop for 1 second, and automatically resume. Sometimes it will stop, and even disconnect him from the appletv completely, and he will have to go in and start streaming to it again.
Now, i have an iPhone too, and mine works fine. No pausing or disconnecting at all. I have the latest iOS, and my dad had i think 4.3 or something. So I updated him, thinking that would fix the problem, and at first it seemed it had, but after 5 or so songs, it was still randomly pausing for 1 second, then it would start right back up again.
This was happening in both Pandora and local music on the iPhone.
And again, mine works fine 4G verizon, it was his iPhone 4G AT&T that was having the problem.
Any ideas?

I had this issue when using music over iCloud / iTunes Match. I downloaded the songs to the iPhone and problem solved

Why does my iPhone 4 keep playing music randomly? And why does it keep stopping when I actually want to use it?

I keep trying to play music and it just randomly stops, and when I don't want to play music it randomly starts playing! Why is this? Is this because of iOS 7? or is it because of the phone itself?

Try to do a reset. Hold down on the Hold and Home keys for about 10 seconds until the  shows.
If that doesn't work, you should try to do a restore. A restore re-installs the operating system. Plug your phone in and go to the phone preferences screen in iTunes. There is a restore option. After restore iTunes gives you an option to restore from backup or use as a new phone. I would first try to see if the problem vanishes if you do the restore from backup option. If the problem still exist, you might want to restore again and opt for the use as a new phone. This is because maybe a file in the backup is corrupt and you cannot use the backup. This means all of your saved texts, photos, settings, etc will be gone. You can resync most of the data back if you have them on your computer (not your text messages though). So think twice before restoring as a new phone. Also, there is a risk that restoring won't resolve your issue so think twice. I can tell you that I have everything on my computer and I can get most of the data back even if I restore as a new phone but everyone is different.

Music and videos start playing fine but randomly stop and the volume bar disappears

I have an iPhone 4S and run 6.1.3. I start to play music or videos (youtube, ESPN, Netflix, any) and they start to play fine but then randomly stop. The volume bar disappears as well. But then it reappears and I can play it again. When I do so it plays about 30 seconds, sometimes less, and pauses again. I have to repeat the process. Any idea how to fix or what might be causing the problem?

Try a reset:
- hold both the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iPhone will turn off(keep holding) but as soon as you see the apple logo appear release both buttons
Also make sure none of the LCI have been set off especially the one in the charging dock of the iPhone. Read the article below for help in checking this:
