i'm seeing the same thing on a Xoom (3.2) and a Droid X2 (2.3.3) ... however my n1 (2.3.3) and Droid X (2.3.3) still play looped audio correctly.

perhaps it has something to do with dual-core devices?

This bug is occurring for me on Droid 3 (2.3.4, dual-core) and not Droid 1 (2.2), both are using stagefright.

Bug started when Droid 2 Global upgraded to 2.3.3 in September. 

This bug effects under Droid bionic.

My Droid 2 Global is also showing this issue. 

This is a Motorola specific issue.  I have spoken with someone at Motorola and I have gotten the impression that is isn't important enough for them to fix :(  If you think differently I would recommend letting them know on Twitter @motodev, ask them to fix the setLooping function.

Here is the MotoDev forum discussion I had with someone at Motorola, you may need a login to view.  

http://community.developer.motorola.com/t5/Android-App-Development-for/Issue-on-Moto-hardware-with-MediaPlayer-gt-setLooping-true/m-p/18837/highlight/false#M4024

Peter seems to be under the impression that this only affects short samples intended to be played as a tone; hopefully the developers are aware this obviously affects any kind of looping music, e.g. for games.

This skipping is causing my Droid 2 Global to be unusable for many apps.  this is important

This problem is occurring on my Motorala Droid 2 Global. It has totally ruined the apps "Lightening Bug" and "Sleep and Relax" on my phone.  The problem began with the upgrade we received the other day.  Please fix the setLooping function.  Very important to me.

I have gotten reports that the problem is also present on Motorola's new Razr?  Has anyone seen this issue on non-motorola hardware?

Happens on the Motorola Atrix as well, for looping apps such as "Relax and Sleep." 

i'm seeing this behavior on a galaxy nexus (made by samsung) ... but i understand that ICS no longer uses StageFright? in fact, i'm now seeing this happen in the ICS emulator as well.

The problem is also present with Sleepy Time on all recent Motorola hardware.  

I have included a link to a very simple eclipse project that you can use to test for the setLooping bug.  This bug doesn’t seamlessly loop an audio file.  It plays a simple sine wave that can be used to easily detect if your device is displaying the bug.  I have also provided the direct like to the apk file as well.  
 
I feel this bug is an important bug to get fixed.  Although this is a simple example, it has real world problems including:

*Looped music playback
*Sound machine type applications
*Game sample loops


I feel this bug hurts the Android platform and encourages the ‘fragmentation’ fault argument.  Some devices/firmware don’t present the bug while others do.  For example, almost every recent Motorola device has the bug, but most HTC devices don’t.  The Xoom shipped without the bug, but a firmware update introduced the bug (I don’t know which version introduced it).  

I have an application, SleepyTime, which used to be available on all devices but now isn’t available on many devices on the Android Market because the bug is present on those devices.  This creates a bad user experience for the user because:

*A user on phone A can get the app, but a user on phone B may not be able to.  
*A user with phone X paid for the app, then upgrades to phone Z, which can’t get the app because this device has the bug, and now doesn’t understand why they can’t download the application they paid for.  

To anyone experiencing this bug, please run this application on any device you have access to and report the Android version, kernel, device name, and weather the bug is present.  We need to give the engineers as much information as possible if we want this to get resolved.  Please get as many people as possible to start this bug to give it more visibility.

Sorry, I have also gotten reports that the Galaxy Nexus suffers from this bug as well.  

I'm experiencing this too on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Running 4.0.1 (updates are handled by Telstra bleh hence the version. PLEASE fix this, it makes any sleep/ambient app useless.

I'm the developer of Lightning Bug, an ambiance app similar to SleepyTime. I've been following this bug report since it was originally filed. It's now confirmed in *3 major versions* of Android and we still haven't seen a official fix or even a written acknowledgment from the Android team! 

First, I'd like to say thanks to Chuck of SleepyTime for filing the report and his continued input.

Second, I'd like to confirm that I've seen exactly the same results in my testing. The Gingerbread issue seemed only to effect dual-core devices, and therefore wasn't present in the emulator. ICS seems a bit different though, as I see the issue in the ICS emulator too.

Third, I'd like to add that we actually built our own NDK interface to opensles that more or less fixed the problem in Gingerbread and Honeycomb. But this fix only works when our app is in focus. When the app goes to the background and the user, say, scrolls through his gmail inbox, the audio experiences obvious distortion, even though we've set the stream priority to Music.

And this fix, most unfortunately, doesn't work in ICS!

We're now looking at writing a complete audio component using the NDK that handles its own streaming to buffer ... an understandably frustrating endeavor when we'd *much* rather focus on updating our UI and delivering the more visible features our users have been asking for.

I realize this is not a forum for complaints ... but I got nothing back from the Android developer group. For such a seemingly simple issue? This is low hanging fruit is it not? I'd tell my users it was "Google's Fault", but would they even believe me over something so simple?

So I'm begging ... please ... could someone from the Android team at least acknowledge the issue?

Thanks,
Chris Newby
lightningbug.me

Lightning Bug doesn't work on ICS 4.0.2. If an OS bug is at the root of this, I hope the Android team will address this soon.

This sucks, use looping apps to fall asleep every night and now they don't even work on Ice Cream Sandwich. Well my iPod does it great, guess I'll go for iPhone next time.

Samsung galaxy nexus here. Same issue, I've had to keep my droid 1 around to get some rest  

Skipping on Samsung Infuse, gingerbread. Seriously annoyed that I bought so many plug-Ins for them not to work with my phone. This is why I quit blackberry. 

nexus... upgraded from the original droid and can't believe I have to use my old phone for lighteningbug.  This sucks!

Some apps (e.g., "White Noise") seem to work fine on ICS (Galaxy Nexus). Is there a trick or API call they're using that these other apps aren't? I assume they're looping as well?

This appears to be a pretty big issue making several top apps basically unusable.  I must admit that I am stunned this hasn't been acknowledged and more importantly addressed by Google yet.

A note on White Noise ... First, I think its a great app that has a lot of very happy users. However, from what I can tell its using a custom or 3-party codec to play AIF files. AIFs are uncompressed though ... meaning they require at least 10x more storage space than mp3 or ogg\vorbis. In addition, White Noise is using relatively short audio samples compared to other apps and doesn't allow mixing multiple samples simultaneously.

This is to say that while it appears White Noise is not affected by the looping issue in the standard Android SDK media player, it does so at a cost in features.

I am having these issues on my Droid Incredible. Pleases
Fix soon! 

Droid 2 user with skipping audio. Help! 

Currently using a Galaxy S running droid Gingerbread (2.3.3)

Skipping is less after update by developer, but only if app is active on screen. if I start a different app, of even blackout the screen, the skipping returns.

Effects Google Nexus S since the update to 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Plz fix

Please just fix it.

HTC EVO 3D
Fix this loop gap please. It is irritating.

Come on Google. It's what you DON'T do that matters just as much as what you do! It does no good for consumers to pay these ridiculous dollar amounts for these 'smart' phones that are capable of and SUPPOSED to do so much! The people and companies that are supposed to be staying on top of things and doing THEIR job to ensure and backup the quality of performance that we  are paying for are losing more respect than maybe you realize. If you even care. So many apps and services are such horrible failures when it comes to supporting the android phones that we consumers continue to CONSTANTLY feel that we will never get our money's worth out of what we pay for these phones. So maybe we are the ones that need to step back and reevaluate why we are continuing to allow you guys to rob us blind of what we CHOOSE to spend our money on and hit you in YOUR pocket and maybe we will see a change in how valuable you think our concerns and issues are about the things we no longer waste OUR money on that you chose to not give your attention to. The most important thing these companies like Google, Samsung, HTC, Verizon, etc need to put first and foremost in their priorities is accepting the truth that BEFORE it is their money, it is OUR money that we chose to spend on promising products and services that they all refuse to live up to. There are ALWAYS other options! Get these empty promises filled before you have noone to make promises to.  As it stands, the vast majority of us feel that we always just end up with crazy-expensive phones built to be capable of performing so many tasks so well, but in the end just as always have an overpriced phone that still barely makes many calls without dropping or losing signal; missed texts or even sent to wrong person due to malfunctioning expensive over-priced phone, that needs to be recharged 3+ times per day and erratic rebooting due to too much usage of these fine $500+- toy phones. Unbelievable.  Samsung Charge on Verizon ICS

HTC Merge ...please fix 

Ridiculous! And Google expects Android to take over iOS? Dream On. 
Google can't even keep the OS stable. New update breaks the previous functions! What is this?! At least don't touch what's already working fine. Damn! 

Is there a work around with this? I'm thinking to run 2 media players. Has anyone try that? 

This bug reminds me to Linux. When Linux was born, people loved it and hated Windows. They predicted Linux will capture 50% of market in 2010. Wrong!
Until when there were too many Linux versions, people started to realized it's difficult to keep track and to get support. Don't get me wrong, Linux is great.
Now people back to closed OS like Windows 7 and Lion OS. It's because there is no standard in Linux. Everybody want to create their own "cool" things. 

And now with Android, if google doesn't fix this, it will end up like Linux.

This is really bad if no one seems to care to fix it. Even if they fixed it, it will take 1 year or more for most users to be updated.
And because of this! App Developers paid the price. If you see recent comments of relax and white noise apps, they got rating 1! The users complained there is a gap, thus it is useless app. Users blamed apps and developers for being stupid!
Android will never get the blame.

It's very irritating when a relaxation/white noise app has such a definite audio skip. Please address this issue. It is very noticeable on my Droid Bionic.

I recently brought motorola xoom (version 3.2). It is great tablet and i like it but when i play the videos (those transfered froom my pc) , audio of the video is slower and it does not match with the videos. This problem is occuring with almost all videos. I am wondering if its some kind of bug:(. Please help me out if there is any solution. Thank you:)

Lightening Bug was the bomb sleep machine app until our Thrive took the Google update. PLEASE fix the skipping issues.

Please fix!

Please fix!

My galaxy nexus has this bug. It has made it so i had to hunt for a used Droid just so i could sleep. I use lightning bug. Sleep now can't be used unless i leave the display on.
Chronic insomnia sucks! Imagine my dismay when i found out the fracking expnsive droid nexus couldn't run the best sleep assisting programs i NEED!

Please, please, please fix this app! I love it!! I am using the Motorola Xoom 4.0.3 started skipping after the update 3 days ago. Some skip after 10 seconds and others after 24.

Please fix 

I am using the samsung sidekick 4g, and have the delay, however, I never hd the delay on the lg ally. Really wish you would fix it.

I have a Motorola , a Droid 2 and there is a very distrcting gap in the audio. It occurs with any of the audio clips and consistantly within a few minutes of activating the app.

Several of my apps  that have longer sounds or use loops (especially Lightning Bug) are now useless.  I have a Samsung Galaxy ii Epic 4g Touch

Please fix this issue

Audio gap is still there. It's a bug, not a lighting bug.

Fix it!!

 This problem is occurring on my Motorala Droid 2Global. None of my noise apps "Lightening Bug" and "Sleep and Relax" are working on my phone. The problem began with the upgrade to Gingerbread.

Gaps on nexus s i9020t with ics 4.0.3 as well

Same problem on Droid x. Google please fix! 

Audio gaps makes my most used app unusable (Lightning Bug). I'm on Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS 4.0.3, please fix!

Please fix this issue.  Samsung Galaxy S II

I also have a Droid 2 Global and I used to love the Lightning Bug app!! It helps me fall asleep when I'm away from home, but this problem is killing me!! Please fix it ASAP!!!

Fix it Google! This is happening to all apps that are like this. Can't sleep!

Well i purchased the google one despite it lacking a few key features (sd card reader) but i was putting my money on the fact that it would have a reasonably stable OS.  I have come to regret my decision would, no have, cautioned everyone i have met not to bother with the nexus one until some of these OS issues have been worked out.  in addition to a host of other problems, (camera crashing, apps failing to launch, doc reader failing time and time again) i find out now that it cant do something as simple as loop music files.  Really im pretty sure a gen one Iphone had that one figured out.  Please fix. 

So this is STILL an issue plz at least address the android community about it. It is very noticeable and quite sad we are not supported on new phones. Gnexus 4.0.3 

Affects my samsung captivate.

I just bought a Droid razor and I used "relax and sleep" to help me sleep and it does not work as well now and it really frustrates me. For how much I spent on this phone, I want things to work proper. Please fix this issue ASAP. 

Please fix this issue. I can't go to sleep now! This worked beautifully before and now it is just plain annoying! 

I've seen audio stop entirely.  Ltng bug was running in background when I started typing this and it did not survive more than 2 to 4 keys. Acer Iconia A500

The audio loop skips for the app Sleepy Time Lite on my Motorola Photon running Gingerbread.  It drives me nuts and essentially defeats the purpose of the app.  I did not have this problem on my Samsung Transform running Froyo.

Present on my Samsung Captivate running CM9 build 16. I used to use the app Sleepy Time almost every night. Please fix, my wife (iPhone user) is having way too much fun with this... 

The workaround I use is checking getCurrentPosition() against getDuration() in my game loop, if we're at the end; rewind using seekTo(0). Nasty, but for now...
