my music player only plays a minute or two of any track then stops for no reason. also my radio seems rubbish.

are there common issues?

Does it switch off when you use Endomondo?
😆

try another player like mixzing to see if it's something to do with the OS or hardware.

My radio is ok sometimes in good recption, but suffers from interference when on the train.

turn off that feature that reduces ring volume when you move it …

no, seriously – was somehow (?) fubaring my music player …

give it a go.

I downloaded a different player. The standard one is cack. Not sure about the radio – mine seems fine.

iPhone 4 for the win

If you use a program like advanced task killer, it'll "kill" the music app (and seems to do so at random intervals rather than the pre-set time.) If you exclude it in the options, it sorts itself out.

Failing that, use Meridian.

Chunky +1 (not sure about the radio bit though!)

iPhone 4 for sheep

Fixed that for you

Had a desire, sold it after two weeks as it really isn't as good, oncexthe customisation element wears off and you realise that the apps are shite. Now a relieved iPhone 4 owner.

Had a Desire, sold it after two weeks as I really couldn't get the hang of it, once the scary non Apple interface element grips you with terror and you realise that the apps are a bit complex. Now a slightly retarded iPhone 4 sheep.

EFA 😉

I'm a big fan of the Desire, but I can't help thinking that I'm constantly searching for apps to make the phone work how I would like it. The standard music player, email, sms, and browser are all a bit rubbish.
Luckily Handcent takes care of sms and Dolphin HD takes care of browser, but I haven't found a really good music player yet (there are plenty that are ok).
The Desire is a really good phone and if the developers keep adding new and better apps then it will be a great phone, but it's a long way off I reckon.
Which is why I was quite pleased when 3 offered me an iphone 4 on upgrade. I look forward to being regarded as a retarded sheep.

In answer to the OP it does sound like it's a task killer app that's force closing the music players. Check the settings.

Good call ooOOoo… that's a rather handy little app, especially as it seems to indicate now would be a good time to go home before it starts raining again!
