Music Player forgets place and starts over

So I use both the native HTC music player and have also used the DoubleTwist music app and have experienced this issues with everything.  

 

ISSUE:  My music and podcasts will start over after I pause and come back later and hit "play" to resume

 

Details:

I have used multiple combinations of syncing methods and music player applications and cannot pinpoint the cause or find a fix.  If I pause a podcast or song, come back to it later either after using the phone, browsing the web, or switching from car aux to headset and hit play, the mp3 will start from the beginning.  It does not happen 100% of the time which makes this very hard to troubleshoot / diagnose

 

Further info / troubleshooting:

 

 

  • I have installed the Doubletwist handheld app / desktop client and synced my music to SD card.  Issue occurs with player app and desktop widget on device.
  • I have completely deleted all mp3 files from SD card and re synced my entire library using the iSyncr app with iTunes
  • I have used both the HTC native player & widget - same issue
  • I have installed the Pure music widget which integrates with the HTC native player - same issue
  • I have done standard battery reset
  • I have performed full factory reset
  • Issue seems to have a lot to do with plugging in / out headphones or running other apps like browser or email while mp3 is paused.  If I pause and exit out and then to back in the app to resume it works just fine.  But if its and extended period of time or running other apps for a while it occurs almost guaranteed.  Maybe it has to do with other processes heavily using the OS resources and clearing out the music cache
  • My Incredible came with 2.2 but some people seem to be complaining on other forums that this issue began with the 2.2 updated but I never had 2.1 to verify issue on
I have been unable to pinpoint the exact cause as sometimes it will resume but most of the time it will restart when I hit play.  There are many other forums that have reported and this issue does not seem to be limited to the Incredible but may be an HTC issue in general with 2.2
Whatever the issue is, this is a HUGE annoyance.  Especially when I am in the middle of a 2 hour podcast I loose my spot and have to drag around the scrub bar for 5 minutes trying to find out where I was.  Anyone that has used the iphone or ipod knows this feature works flawlessly and even remembers your places when you switch from one podcast to another and go back.  Anyone else seen this issue?
