Hi!
When I minimize my musicplayer the sound keeps restarting. Directly after I've minimized, when I push a key and when I'm not using the phone at all. If I then bring the player to the front again I can see that the song hasn't restarted, only the sound. If I fast forward a couple of seconds, the sound syncs with the progress bar again. Sometimes the problem goes away, and I can use the player as any other player, but when the problem occurs it's useless as a music player.
I recorded a movie of the problem with my webcam. It's about 21 MB and in Xvid-format.
Same movie at both links.

All I do in this movie is start the media player, start a song, minimize the player. Then the sound restarts. I then press * to lock the keys, the sound restarts. Then I delete the *, and the sound restarts. And so on. I don't touch any playback keys such as the volume keys or the media player button in the top left, except when I pause the song and then start it again with the play/pause button. You can see the prompt where it asks me if I want to resume playback using the speaker.

Has anyone else had this problem? The song in this example is encoded at 128 kbps, CBR, so it's nothing fancy.

Haven't anyone else experienced this? Anyone care to comment on this at all? I got an unbranded phone, firmware R1CF001.

Haha funny video you got there. That problem seriously is a big one.

Just tried exactly what you did in the video, and luckily, no problems, and the music doesn't restart. It's probably your firmware.

I'm on a K790i - R1CC003.

It's seriously annoying. But It doesn't happen all the time. Last time I wanted to replicate the problem I had to restart the phone. I'm hoping it will get fixed in a coming firmware update, but since I seem to be the only one affected it doesn't seem likely. Do I have to return it to the store for a new one? It's most likely (almost certain) a software error, so it won't help to have the store repair it.
