Why does my iphone 3GS repeat the same song when I choose shuffle?

Why does my iphone 3GS repeat the same song when I choose shuffle?  It just started doing it today.  I rebooted the phone, I looked to see if th repeat icon was being chosen and I cant even find that anymore!  Help!

You can find the Additional Audio Controls as described here, to check if "repeat song" is also activated.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf page 94
Additional Audio Controls
To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen.
The repeat, Genius, and shuffle controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.
Use the scrubber bar to skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the scrub rate from high-speed to fine by sliding your finger down as you drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.

    Because you have repeat on.  Turn it off.

    Why does my iphone 4s repeat the words I text?

    It was when I was typing the text.  I found the answer in the "More Like This" area on the side.  I swear my phone changes settings by itself!  :-)  Thanks!!!

  • My iphone 4 repeats the same song.

    My iphone 4 repeats the same song over and over again. No matter how I seleceted (either playlist or album or artist...)
    Also there is no scrollbar (timeline) and no button for repeat and shuffle as there used to be in the music player. Whats wrong - how can I change it back?
    Thx

    Hi again,
    I also tapped on the album cover - nothing happened.
    BUT after a hard reset (home + start button) this worked again. Timeline and options repeat and shuffle came back!!!
    I am a happy camper now... ;-)
    Take care

  • Why does my iphone 4s play the first song in the library everytime I unplug it and plug it back into my stereo?

    I did the ios7 update and everything is cool except for this issue. If I choose an album or artist to listen to, and then plug the iphone into my car stereo usb input, it starts at the song that is alphabeticaly first in the library. Is there any way to fix this?

    I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima.  It was a function in my car's stero settings.  I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB.  My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs.  Hope this helps.

  • How do i get my music off repeat. the same song keeps repeating.

    I am having difficulty getting my ipod touch off repeat. It just keep repeating the same song. I tried shuffle and it just goes to the next song and keeps repeating that song.
    does anyone have a solution for this dilemma?  James Jr.

    Turn off the repeat control. If you touch the screen in album view this control will be to the left side of the scrubber bar.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

    SHuffle does not play songs in a truly random fashion.  Like all computer related random generators the sequence is pseudo-random

  • Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery gets to 80%?  have installed new battery and nothing changes?

    Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery shows 80%.  a couple of months ago is shut down at 60% but has continually gotten worse.  this was before 5.0.  i took it to a repair man and he tried a used battery, a new battery, and the original battery.  nothing helped.  5.01 didnt help either.  What is my problem?

    Fully discharge the battery (till it shuts down and won't turn on) and then fully recharge it (100%).  This will recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?

  • Why does my iphone keep increasing the volume?

    Why does my iphone keep increasing the volume? it isn't the buttons and i keep trying to fight it and keeps increasing... Any advise, i seem to be the only one having this problem. The phone just keeps increasing volume by itself and can't do anything about it, its off and on.

  • HT1329 i have a ipod nano 3rd generation and my iphone 3gs on the same computer if i move my ipod nano to my laptop and i move all my music to from my iphone to my ipod nano

    i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?

    You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop.  If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.
