I posted this in the app section, but got no responses after 210 views. So, posting it here in case it is a phone-specific issue.
No music or video plays in any app except Ringdroid and Instagram. Basically, if it has a play button, it won't play. First happened yesterday morning in Play Music. I push the play button, and it immediately goes from playing to not (quickly flashes the 'pause' sign, but goes right back to the 'play' sign. If I press the button repeatedly, it plays the song in a choppy fashion, but still won't stay on 'play.' And I tested on-device and cloud music, same issue for both. I tested it in Amazon MP3 too, since that app shows you the loading progress of the song. Same problem, even after the song is fully loaded, so not the issue there. Then, Pandora...same issue. Then YouTube, same issue. Ringdroid, however, works. Instagram plays videos as well, without issue.
When the problem first arose, I shut down and restarted the phone, and music played again for a while. But then, the issue happened again within a couple hours.
The ONLY thing that I can think maybe it might be is an issue with BT. When I leave my car after BT streaming music through Play Music, I don't shut the music off, I just shut off my BT relay (which automatically stops the music). So, I don't know if it could be an issue with the phone, for some reason, not realizing the music has been stopped (thus not letting me play new music) or if it is a bug with the BT connection set-up. I did clear the cache in Play Music and Amazon, also force stopped each, but that didn't fix the issue.
Charging my phone now (it is shut down when I charge), so will see if it works when I power it back up, and if I can recreate the issue regarding BT. Just slightly annoying, and hasn't happened up until yesterday (3 weeks using the phone).
Anyone run into this, or have any advice? I just cleared my cache partition last week, but I could do it again if anyone thinks that may help.
