Dear All,
Since receiving my new iPhone 4 (16GIG) tracks have been jumping/skipping.
These are random songs, audiobooks, and even video.
If I remove all songs and fill the phone videos, sync the iPhone, remove the videos and then replace the songs, different songs start skipping.
I have reset my iPhone, repeatedly, rebuilt my settings from from scratch but the songs keep skipping
It looks to me as though the hard drive either has bad sectors or is just damaged, especially as different songs skip each time I remove/replace them.
Has this happened to anyone else and do I need to get a replacement iPhone.
Best Regards
G

Good guess, but there is no hard drive, the iPhone uses flash memory.
Check Settings > iPod > Shake to Shuffle.
Is it turned on??????
Also, are you listening to music through the speakers, headphones, or bluetooth headset?
I have found when listening via bluetooth headset that audio will "skip" or "pause" anytime the connection between the headset and device is lost for a split second. Also, having the device set to mute will cause all audio to pause anytime a text, email, or push notification activates
Thanks for your reply, but, there's always a but isn't there :-)
Shuffle is turned off.
The songs/audiobooks/movies skip when played through the internal speakers, bluetooth headest, wired headset, everything really.
If I remove the songs and then replace them in a different order, different songs skip.
Definitely a HDD problem, but the nice thing about apple is that I go to a store tomorrow and they replace the phone - excellent :-)
Having the same issue. One other thing worth nothing - a song that is skipped one time will play another if I choose another to begin with...also VERY annoying.

I had a problem with my songs going silent in places and then skipping, and if I took the songs off and put them on again different songs were messed up. In my case I found out that it was zone alarm messing up the synching, I uninstalled it then resynched all my music and found it was fine again. Thought I would reply just on the off chance your problem was caused by the same thing.
