Help Droid 2 Global media player issues

Hello all,

I have a Droid 2 Global through Verion Wireless that I purchased the week after Christmas. The phone has treated me well since then but I have had two issues with it, one was resolved by an update I did last night that was just released (phone would reset when unlocking screen). The other issue I'm having trouble figuring out though.

The media player STOPS the music by itself.

I've used Windows Media player to rip the music onto my computer in .wma files.

I have also changed all of my power saving settings to full performance just to see if that changes it, and it doesn't.

I will select a song using the built in media player and turn the screen off (or even let it time out, won't make a difference) and let the music play. With the built in media player it will play for approx 45 -150 seconds of letting the phone idle before it stops playing. When I turn the screen on the media info is at the unlock screen if I press play the song will restart, as if the media player was stopped, NOT paused. This happens with the phone being charged or not.

When the car is in the cradle and music's being played through the "car dock" it does NOT have that problem. Even if the phone is charging or not.

I have tried using other media players such as a google one I found from a friend and winamp, same results.

Pandora, TuneIn radio all work fine.

I've tried STFA, but have not found anything else like this. Is it operator error, or is there a setting that needs changed, or do I need to do something else?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hey, I've been having the same problem where my Droid 2 Global resets randomly at the lock screen when I attempt to unlock the phone. How did you fix that problem? I have been digging and I cannot find a solution. Also, my music player does the same thing as yours.
 
I too am having the same problem with music on the standard music player, but I have already disabled music and gallery in task manager and am still having the same problem. Any other suggestions? It only happens when the screen turns off, which explains why it does not happen in the car dock
