mpx220 skipping some mp3 & wma files

[Guest fincan]

Both beta player and media player is skipping some of my music files which I placed in my mini-sd card. It starts to play normally but in some part of the song (varies between songs, sometimes on the 10th second, sometimes in the middle of the song etc.) it starts to stutter(in betaplayer) or skips to the next song(in media player). I tried to run those files by connecting the mini-sd to my laptop and winamp played them without any problems so I assume that my mini-sd is ok.

Any ideas?

I had odd things like this happen too. I switched my SanDisc card for a PQI card and voila! everything worked perfectly. FYI the Sandisk card seemed fine to my computer as well. The problems returned whenever I used the SanDisk card, even after re-formatting it and reloading it using my PC. Whenever the PQI was pu in the phone, blissful perfection was the watchword!

Given the number of random sounding problems that are being reported as "fixed" by changing card brands, I suspect there is something a bit odd going on with the I/O for the cards. It's as if there is some performance requirement for the 220 that Moto thought was irrelivent, but that is showing up in practice, and that some cards or brands manage to sneak in under the wire and others fail to do so.

My $.02 anyway. Try switching card brands. The PQI cards seem to be almost bulletproof for this phone.

Good Luck :D

mine did to but I just kept switching 4-5 songs back and forth and then I played it and worked. Hardware fault?

hmm. I'm using a ritek (ridata) 512mb right now. I will give a shot to PQI, after selling my ritek of course :D

Thanks

it looks like it is not a hardware problem. I updated my phone to 1.33 chinese rom, and music files work perfectly now.
