Audio Jack bug?

Ok so at work I use my phone as my improved iPod. So lets say I pause the song that I was playing and shut the screen back off. My problem occurs when I unplug the headphones from the jack is that it all the sudden starts playing music again, and the phone doesn't register its playing. I have to quickly goto the music app hit play and pause again to get it to stop.
Anyone else have this?
CM 5.0.5.3
Also ran 5.0.5.1 experimental build

its because the headphone jack supports (4 pin i think) headsets that have the skip/play/pause buttons on them and the headphones you are using prolly are only the 2 pin ones without the extra buttons...

I've defintely reproduced this bug. Im not quite sure what i did that caused it but it was very weird, i had to go to the music app and press play and stop again. At first i brought down the notifications slider and i was like wtf. I am also on 5.0.5.3

Is there anyone that can confirm this? That would be pretty nifty.
Edit - nvm the headphones that come with the nexus have the control thing. Ill test this out to see if it still does the bug.

I also have this bug. Are you using MusicZing Lite? It happens to me all the time, and sometimes I have to restart the phone. It's very annoying.
BTW It happened to me using the stock headphones and my sony inline control headphones so yes I can confirm it happens to 4 pin connetions.
From what I understood though CM said its an app problem.

Nah, I'm just using the stock Music app. =/
On a side note - it happened to me at school last night, should have seen the look on everyones faces when my phone started blasting After the Burial. lol

It just did it to me right now. What i did exactly was i was going to listen to a song on my phone (im at work) with my headphones and so i plugged them in, but then i realized i can just stream it from somewhere on my work computer and so i unplugged them before i even opened the music app and it started playing my music. Hmmm this bug is starting to get annoying.
and my headphones are not 4 pin

Autostarts is available on the market - it should allow you to disable this feature/bug.
I believe it's 'Headset plugged or unplugged' - just disable the Music player and you should be good to go.
Cheers

If you're already happy with MixZing, ^3, or one of the other third party music apps, you could also just delete Music.apk; this also fixes the problem.
(Noted as following: playing music in any app via headphones, stop music, unplug headphones, music would start playing via the music app only; IE, despite not having used music app in that session, I'd have to open it, and play&pause to stop the music).
Problem is now gone, along with Music.apk.

Pandora

Has anyone noticed that pandora will occasionally skip songs? ive been using the stock headphones and i think somewhere i read that the issue lies with the headphones but this is my second phone (first had random reboots) and i really don't think twice in a row i got bad headphones...

I haven't noticed and I generally use the stock earphones. Do an experiment. Use some different earphones and see if you have the same problem.

the issue is that this happens very rarely (happened more often on my 1st phone) last time this happened was about 1 week ago maybe... i guess ill try one week with my iphone headset and 1 week with samsung...

The only time it happens to me is when im playing it and switch from wifi to 3g or vice versa and its not every time

Pandora for me is completely unusable. It disregards what else is playing, and goes on top of it.
Totally worthless.
Here's two examples:
1. Open Pandora, wait, no I want to call someone. Close Pandora, make a phone call. 2 minutes in it starts playing. Talk about awkward!!! What the $&#*$??
2. Open Pandora, dang no signal. Open stock music app, then a few minutes later I hear two songs playing. Have to open Pandora and click pause. Again, what gives???
The fact that a reputible, famous, well liked company made such a disastrous product makes me confused.
So I'm not surprised at all to hear you have issues
I want to like Pandora, I just feel like Im talking to an austistic kid whenever I use it (high degree of selfishness, talks over everything)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Pandora can play, but it is way too laggy without voodoo, if I try to switch a station it goes black for a few minutes, then force closes.

Seems like the issue is in fact wifi to 3g
Regarding pandora interrupting phone calls I've never had this issue I've started pandora then made a phone call talk for 15 or 20 mins and it continue to play right after the main issue I have is hanging up the phone can't be done with the headset
Are you using a custom rom our something? Because I can say stock there aren't issues like that unless its a faulty phone or something user or app related

Wow i dont understand why everyone is having problems with pandora. Ive had my captivate for a few months now and I listen to it every day all day at work and have never had one even slight issue. I mean its flawless. Especially coming from blackberry 9700 is like absolutely perfect. No exaggeration. From phone calls to multitasking no probs. On many different roms
Sounds like one dudes problem is he needs to hit the quit button if he wants to close it. Not just home or back.

well the reason you haven't noticed an issue is because like you said you listen to it at work which means generally you are in on area at a time, as for me and several others are in college etc... we move from place to place in and out of wifi network which could cause this issue
Other than the issue of pandora skipping i really have no other concerns with it other than yes it is a bit slow when starting it up and when trying to skip song while i walk between classes/work
maybe i should root my device to speed it up...

Yeah I get that. But I forgot to mention I listen to it everytime I go riding on my motorcycle which is all the time. No issues then either. Unless I'm ridin in the country and there's no signal.

I go to Georgia Tech and we're said to have the best WiFi/Internet speeds in the entire nation iirc.
We have WiFi, literally everywhere we go on campus. Except some small spots, and those spots I get what you are expierencing when switching from 3g to WiFi

from what ive noticed the issue does in fact occur when switching from wifi to 3g or vice versa (again it is very rare) so for the most part managing your wifi when leaving your wifi zone (like i do leaving my apartment)

I haven't had any problems. I listen to it while at home on wifi and I some times leave to go somewhere and it still plays fine. I also listen to it all day at work and a lot while driving in the car with no problems. The only time I ever noticed a problem is the button doesn't always pause the music. Once in a while when I try and pause Pandora with the in-line button, music player will start playing a song.

you have to close the music player completely.
if it is on "standby" it will do that.

You guys are right - I have to force close rather than hit the home button or back button. Point is force closing is just another step.....
I am running a custom ROM so that can be it (cognition), but on the other hand everything else works with it! I.e. last.FM, stock music, mixzing, etc. So part of it really is a difference in their app.
Good to know it works on stock

In Pandora app there is a quit button. Hit the options/menu button (to the left of home button) and you will see some options one of them being quit.

[Q] Moto X and external bluetooth controls

Hey guys, newcomer here. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I've got some serious bluetooth flakiness going on with my Verizon Moto X (not rooted, 4.4.2).
Oddly, pairing is not the issue. The phone pairs with my Pebble and my LG HBS-700 bluetooth headphones just fine. But the media controls on both are super spotty. I'll start an app to play music or podcasts (MediaMonkey, Google Music, Pocket Casts, etc.) Typically I do this manually, start a track, then put the phone in my pocket and go about my business.
At first, the skip/pause/play controls on the headset and my watch work just fine, but after a few minutes, they often fail to respond. Sometimes pressing skip will seem to do nothing, then skip several seconds later. But most often, all controls fail to have any effect. To fix it I have to unlock the phone and perform the action manually. Usually this also "wakes up" the bluetooth controls, and they'll work again for a bit.
Sometimes, with the screen unlocked, when the skip fails it produces the message "No songs in now playing list." Is that a Google Music message? Could Google Music be trying to take control as the "active" media player when I'm listening to another app? That can't be the whole story because I've had the same problems with Google Music itself as well. I actually don't know how Android determines what the "active" media player app is at a given time.
ANY advice or links would be helpful. Thanks!

I have 2 links, persist+ & Google search workaround, in my signature.
They may help.

Thanks for the links! I don't think I found anything related to my problem, though. Persist+ looks cool, but my problems aren't volume related. Know of any app that monitors the active media player that external bluetooth controls should be controlling?

Don't have a Pebble, but controls on my LG HBS-730 have always been reliable. What happens if you connect only to the headphones?

Just tried it with the Pebble disconnected and I have the same issue. I did notice, though, that the volume controls on the headset continue to work, even when the play/pause/skip buttons stop working. Sometimes messing with the volume makes the pause button work again. Guess I should test with just the watch and no headset now to see if it's just a headset issue.

If this is some kind of conflict between Pebble and the LG, it is conceivable that whatever it is may still be on your phone. Might want to unpair both of them, wipe your phone's cache, and then just pair the LG, connect, and re-test.

Thanks, will do. When you say wipe the cache, do you just mean forget all the bluetooth connections, or is there something more specific I should do?

No luck, unfortunately. I cleared the cache per those instructions, then just paired the headset. It seemed to be working better at first, but eventually I saw problems with the play/pause/skip buttons not being recognized, or taking upwards of 10 seconds to be recognized. At one point I pressed the play/pause button to pause a podcast in Pocket Casts, and instead it started a track in Google Music seemingly at random.
Solutions Etcetera, you've never seen anything like this with your LGs?

No... never. Not with my Kinivo BTC450 set up in my truck either (which has identical controls, sans volume).
While I primarily use Pocketcasts, no trouble with the occasional use of Play Music either.
I forget, did it always behave this way? If not, maybe a full reset is in order.

Blarg. Okay I'll give it a shot. This is the first time I've had to do a full reset on an android phone (had an iphone for a long time), are there any best practices you guys could point me too? I'm assuming I don't want to back everything up with Titanium because I may also back up the bug.

Yup. Turn off Automatic Restore in Backup and reset. Make sure photos, and anything that is on the phone and not elsewhere, is copied to your computer. If you want to backup call logs and SMS, there are apps on Play to do it. Don't know what to tell you re game levels and scores (never a priority for me). Some apps with complicated settings (Tasker, Aquamail, etc.) have the ability to export/back up settings for an easy restore. Copy those files to your PC as well.
Reset and set up as new. Hope it clears up your issue.

Took a while to confirm, but I think the issue is fixed! Resetting helped that and also seems to have improved performance overall. Thanks for the help!

[Q] Some issues with ME572C

I have not yet had this tablet for a week, and already I have discovered a few problems with it, that I am hopeful can be fixed.
1. No audio when making calls in Viber. The receiver can hear me fine, but I cannot hear them, or even the ringing for that matter.
2. Unable to answer incoming calls in Viber. I slide the circle to the right to answer, but nothing happens.
3. Pandora Radio stops streaming after about 30 seconds of the screen turning off, or the current song ending.
4. Slacker Radio stops streaming after about 30 seconds of the screen turning off, or the current song ending.
Regarding issues 3 and 4, I do have WIFI set to stay on during sleep and the WIFI optimization is turned off.
Anybody else having these issues?
Any suggestions to try and eliminate them?

I don't know about 1 and 2, but 3 and 4..
Yes, not only pandora, but also spotify. I think there is an issue with deep sleep and streaming. I almost want to say that you need to stream out bluetooth while connected to wifi to have it happen a lot.
The workaround for me was to activate one of the daydream modes. I think this only helps if your plugged in (charging). However, no more music dropouts.

I was just using google play music and was streaming from my collection the other day and did not have this problem, I don't normally use the two services that you listed. I may try one later today or tomorrow to see if I can reproduce what you are seeing...
I am chasing a problem with the tablet becoming non-responsive to the touch screen occasionally. Typically it does still respond to the buttons when this happens and I can push the power button to turn the screen off and then back on to make the screen get responsive again. I have started removing certain software to see if it causes my issue to go away...
Intel android seems to still have a few "teething" issues however my ME572C sure is a nice little tablet...
Added later:
I have a set of apps that I have yet to narrow down the cause but after removing them my screen response issue appears to be gone...

I just tested Slacker Radio and I have in the Power Saver app disabled power saving completely and did not disconnect. I am running the latest Asus software on my ME572C which ends in 31.

Has anyone had problems with the volume rocker. I just got mine yesterday and it will turn the volume up, just not down... Weird. But other than that everything is good and the lollipop update rocks!

[Q] Sound gaps while BT streaming to car audio.

Hi, I Have strange problem with my brand new Xperia Z3 Compact. I streams my music from Z3C to my Pioneer MVH-X360BT car audio. Every few minutes there is a gap in stream that lasts for maybe half a second. That's very annoying! Music is still playing during this gap but I can't hear it. I had similar problem with Xperia Z1 but I thought it was some problem in old Android and some bug in BT driver. Then I've had iPhone 5s and it worked like a charm! No gaps, no problems with BT. Now I've returned to Android and I'm starting to regret this :/
I've checked everything I could. I've turned on BT visibility, turned off Wi-Fi, checked if no notifications couse this. I've even flash clean stock firmware (originally phone came with branded firmware). Nothing. I've tested many players (Walkman, Power Amp, Player Pro, Double Twist etc). Nothing. I though that maybe problem is in my SD card (I store my music on external card), but: 1) it's very fast card 2) copying music to internal storage didn't change anything. Sound still has gaps. I don't now what to do I'm sure that my car audio is ok (iPhone works), today I've tested SGS5 with it and it worked well too. Problem is only with Xperia family (reminder: same problem on Xperia Z and Xperia Z3 Compact).
Any clues? I hate changing my phone again and I love battery life on Z3C (main reason I left iPhone).
Please help!

I have BT headphones and I am not experiencing those issues at all. Could it be that your phone goes into some kind of sleep mode and then wakes up again? Try with some app that keeps your phone constanly awake/screen on. Does the issue persist? Can you try out any other BT audio devices and report if the same problem exists?

Huh, I've turned off the 'Queue data in background' (I have polish locale and I don't know how this option is in english so I translated it literally) option in power management settings. Nothing has changed Also nothing has changed while I was driving car with Google Maps navigation (or Waze) turned on. Still gaps were present.
Unfortunately I don't have any other device that I could test my phone with Only other phones (and all phones works great).
I think I have to change Z3C to another phone, maybe SGS5 (but I don't like Samsung...)
Ehh, tough one

Hi there, I'm facing the EXACT same problem with a few minor differences in the setup:
I'm connected via cable to a philips CEM210. This so called "gap" usually happens when I skip a track(or when the next track comes on automatically).
I have recently purchased the kinivo btc455 and will let you know tomorrow if the issue persists on the BT device.
I actually think 2mal might be on to something here I use stamina mode regularly and I have rooted my device and change tracks via the volume keys.
So the issue might be the phone wakes up periodically (skip track? check notification queue?)

Try this app while you listen to music over BT : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synetics.stay.alive
Still gaps?
Also I have Viper4android installed, dont think this would make a difference since it also worked before but its worth a try.
Get the apk from here and follow the instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
I assume your device is rooted as it only works on such.

Speaking of weird bluetooth bugs, my music has been playing in fast-forward occasionally (cm12). I have no idea why this happens or how to fix it, so if anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.

Jeah too bad i could not help, what you could try is go to a store and ask them whether you could try out some BT headphones, with the pretext of buying them ofc . If the issue is still present then it may be hardware related and an exchange unit could work just fine. Otherwise it points to some incompatibility issue that could maybe fixed somehow but not by me and my current expertise . Especially since i am not experiencing the same. Wish you the best and good luck !

I use a Bluetooth headset (mw600). Started with a nokia n900 and it had frequent gaps, probably due to wifi/interference. With the Z3C started with no gaps but now get few most likely when it leaves any wifi connection (hotspots).
Since you have tried all options on the phone side, it seems to be an issue with the particular car stereo. How about you reset the stereo by removing all power sources to it then pair the phone as a fresh new device and check if issue continues?

I have a similar issue. It seems like a head unit problem for me. Many problems there are with Pioneerer Head Units. Please don't buy this brand...

Have same problem with my Z3 and pioneer car sound.... No issues when i used samsung devices... Now i have a Z3 and the sound fails all the time....
I have 2 headsets bluetooth and i dont have any trouble....
The problem is between sony devices and pioneer!!!
Help!!!

This is not just between Sony and Pioneer. I have a Cardo Scala G9 BT headset for motorcycles, and never had a problem with my Nokia 808 for music streaming, nor my Nokia X2 DS (strictly used for GPS, no SIM).
Now that I bought my Z3C, I have this random gaps of silence while streaming music. Extremely annoying. Even after rebooting the phone, no resolution. Thought maybe there are some bugs with 5.1.1, so I went ahead and updated the firmware on my G9 from 1.6 to 2.1. Still same issue.
Another issue I found with the Z3C: When music streaming is playing, and I get a text message or a new email, the music volume lowers, but no notification sound comes through, before the music volume resumes. On my other phones, when I get a text message, the music volume goes down, and I hear the audio for new text, email, or whatever.
It is extremely annoying. Anybody know how to resolve first and second problem I listed?

Not a Sony issue. Had this with an lg g3 on a kenwood car stereo and the same with the z3c. Seems to be an android issue, as it didn't happen with ios. I am not 100% sure, but I think it only started with lollipop, because I had an htc one m7 before the lg and I don't remember ever having this before...

Yeah, I am inclined to agree with you.
With my Acura, the music has zero gaps. But when I am on a hands free call, I get the gaps! So it must be something buggy with how Android handles one of the BT channels. It is extremely annoying. And on the hands free calls, when the gap happens, my telephony audio goes to the phone. And when I try to switch it to BT mode, nothing, until the gap ends. Then I can switch back to BT mode. This is extremely frustrating.

Bump. I've been having this problem for months. I had it in KitKat too and it happens with any Bluetooth device. It always happens in specific parts in my route (place I go to often), even though I may have never connected to WiFi there or WiFi is off. Could it have something to do with GPS activity?

Any solution for this strange problem?

Hello everyone!
I also have exact same problem with my Z3C and... Sony's MEX-N5100BT, there's a couple miliseconds gap while the music is playing. The best part is that while I'm talking through the radio's built-in BT Phone, the audio never has this gap... or I haven't heard that since I'm using this radio.
But you know what? This happens so rarely that I just ignored it and got used to it and I recommend you to do the same
