I have an in dash DVD player with A/V input, and I love hooking up my TP2 so I can watch Sports Center on my way to work. My only problem is that the screen has to stay on in order for the video to be output. The sound still works when I hit the power button, but not the video. When the screen is on there is a high pitched buzz that is really annoying. It goes away immediately when I turn the screen off.
Is there any reg edit that will allow the screen to be off and still output the full A/V?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know if there's a way to do that, but have you tried just going into the settings and shutting off the backlight, and seeing if that kills the noise?
I turned the backlight all the way down and that didn't do the trick...
There has to be something in the registry, otherwise why would the audio work with the screen off but not the video!
Help! I just took a job with an hour and a half commute and I need this function w/o getting a headache from the buzz!
is the buzz coming through the car speakers? if so, its probably a grounding issue. Does the buzz happen when the phone is running on batteries? Or only when its running on AC power from the car? If its coming from the phone speaker, I have no idea.

The buzz is heard through the car speakers. I thought it was poor shielding at first, but when I hit the power button on top to turn the screen off, the buzz goes away and the music sounds great! The buzz does get infinitely worse when I plug in the AC into the side adapter in my A/V cable. I was using the multiplug with the blue wire cut, so I decided to order an actual OEM cable to see if that fixed the problem, but no go there. The buzz also gains/decreases intensity based on what's on the phone screen itself. I.E. when on the Today screen the buzz is softer than when it's in Kinoma Play or Slingbox.
I really just want a solution where the video can be output along with the audio when the screen is off...has to be software related I would imagine!

Hi,
I have the standard HTC Audio adaptor which contains the button mic to speak if required. I tend to use the adaptor to listen to music. However it has now got confused ie when I plug it into the Touch Pro 2 the sound continues to come out of the phone speaker. When I click on the button and hold the button down I hear the music through the external wired connected speaker. Also I sometimes see the "video Out" settings come up on my phone. Is the capable broken and needs replacement or is there some setting that I need to check. I was changing speakers while the phone was playing to compare sound and may have also accidentally clicked the button. So is it confused? Seen this before or am I in for a new adaptor?
Thanks,
Sam
P.s I have tried resetting the phone.
Hello,
I have a Windows Phone 7 Tango (Pdaimatejam) 7.8, and I experienced this problem with Mango too (Way too many times).
The problem is, when I have music playing in my pocket (or just through an AUX cable in the car), the music just stops, resumes, stops, resumes, and then stops playing all together. This is so annoying, especially while driving. And sometimes, randomly, "Microsoft Listen" or something comes up, the voice recognition.
Can anyone help me? This is one of the most annoying bugs I've encountered, and it's impossible to use it on a regular basis that way.
Also mentioning, that this problem starts after awhile of listening to music.
i had a problem similiar to this where the volume would goto full blast but it was from the 3.5 jack and i changed aux cables to one that fit better and it stopped

Yeah, but I can't just change my headphones jack or my inbuilt aux cable (It's sort of a stupid hack by Mazda representative)

Make sure you don't sit on the headphone cable... Lol...
Microsoft Tellme? There is only 2 ways to get it : Press and hold the Windows Button / Press and hold the Call button on the handfree headset.

I'm not sitting on the cable, and it came up randomly, while listening to music. Didn't have a call button.

Hard Reset the phone is more like it now... do it, and see if it fix your problem. If not, it is time to call the operator, give them a dispatch and have a new device, lol
It looks like your headset needs replacement. Mine does that to me on my Titan. When the cable is under my coat, it accidentally stops as it's pressed a little by mistake.
Also, the way the jack makes the contact with your phone could be another cause. I had/have but don't use HTC Sensation XL, and it did the same with the beats audio that comes with it. The jack doesn't fit properly. Hence a little angled movement and songs break. Play, pause.
With Windows Phone it's more likely to stop even if your jack is a lil out of the socket since as soon as the headphone is removed, the music stops by default.
Just got my S3 4 days ago , so far i like it. But i noticed some things and wanted to know if those are "normal" for that phone.
Charging : When charging i plug it in , charging icon appears all is ok, screen lights up then turns off. That's ok, but during the night ( normally my charging time) the screen will turn back on and stays on, it doesn't go away unless i press the power button. Is this normal ?
Bluetooth : When using Bluetooth to listen to music in the car, the sound keeps going up and down at random intervals, it does that too when using the phone. I connect to my Kennwood Excelon head unit, it never did that before with my other phone.
I would have to say no. But need more information.
With charging are you using the stock charge unit? if so are you going direct to the wall or have you tried a different outlet to see if the issue is still happening. I plug mine in at night and the next morning the screen is off but I can't see my phone while sleeping.
With your bluetooth is it just the one device that is causing the volume issue? Have you tried different bluetooth devices to see if the issue still happens. Is your volume change happening with song changes or changing during the same song while playback.
Thanks for helping,
Charging is done with the Samsung Docking station and samsung cable that came with phone, i will try without the docking station.
Bluetooth , yes it's only with the Samsung, on my other phones before ( iphone and Xperia Arc ) everything was ok.
I noticed mine was doing the same thing on my Kenwood DNX7190HD. I didn't have any trouble from other phones either. However, I did turn off the automatic volume adjust for road noise and that seem to help some.

Cool i will try this , thanks. So it could be a Kenwood BT compatibility problem cause i have the DNX 9140
Hello,
When I plug in my regular headphones/earbuds (Sennheiser CX 150) into the LG G4 (Sprint) when the screen is off, the phone mistakenly thinks I've plugged in a headset/mic combo (the status icon is the headset/mic), even though there is no mic, just earbuds. Annoyingly, the phone also wakes the screen and launches the Voice Mate app. Just because I've plugged in my earbuds while the screen was off.
But when I plug in those earbuds when the screen is already on/awake, the phone correctly recognizes them as headphones (no microphone) and doesn't launch the Voice Mate app, just sits there on whatever screen was displayed, but adds the headphone icon at the top of the screen (as it should for these earbuds).
Anyone know why the phone would do this misbehavior when plugging regular earbuds in while screen is off? As a work-around I've been waking my phone screen before plugging in the earbuds, but I'd prefer to understand why the phone is misbehaving like this when I try to plug in the earbuds when the screen is off?
Can I disable the voice mate launching at least? Almost as if the phone thinks I've done something to initiate that too, upon plugging in the earbuds with screen off.
Same problem in my car
When I plug my car's aux audio cable into the headphone jack of my G4, faiiiil. Same problem - - my " okay, Google" commands fall on deaf ears, because the mic has been silenced. This happens to me whether the screen is black or lit - - and annoyingly, there seems to be no way to change the mic setting manually. Unless someone here can enlighten me? THANKS!
Have a T-Mobile g4 and it works normal with my bose headphones screen on and off. Bluetooth works great. Aux wire used is a griffen flat cable and no issues on playback
I have the same weirdness when I plug in my aux cable in my car - I get the wired headset icon, or some other icon that I don't recognize (it looks like a sideways s with a plug on the end). Sprint version.
The simple-est fix is this .. Plug your usb cord into your computer and your phone at the same time... wait a minute, and then disconnect. It has fixed this issue SEVERAL times on my G4 .. hopefully the simple fix does the trick for you as well
Same issue here. I'm starting to think it's a static electricity thing too? Like, the first time I plug in, it incorrectly classifies it. But if I unplug and try again, it usually works.
Sometimes, when I'm on the USB cable when I try, it works. But I really get bothered by the mischaracterization of earbuds as a headset that launches the voice recognition, so annoying!
So keep monitoring the patterns, see if you can influence it through static discharge/grounding, or screen on/off, angle of audio cable insertion, or whatever. Seems to me like it's not totally 100% predictable though.
I don't know if this has been already reported, it's not a screen waking up in pocket issue. I don't have the version with dt2w.
When I go jogging, the phone randomly skips or pauses tracks, raises volume (never lowers). I use Pulsar music player but it happens also with other players. I have disabled battery optimiziation for these apps but it happens also with optimization on. It happens both if I keep the phone in a pocket or in my hand, sometimes even when I am looking at it and I'm sure the screen is not waking up.
Any idea? I am thinking to perform a factory reset or eventually root and install a new Rom, which ones are recommended for stability and bug-free?
Do you have a case on? Perhaps case is partially pushing buttons? I had this happen on a previous device
Mmmmm, yes I do have a case. I will try without it. But anyway, that would only explain the raising volume, not the playback pause or the song skip (afaik there's no key combination for that).
I've experienced this on my Daisy. If that happens, unplug your earphones then plug it back in. Check if the headphones symbol on the phone have a mic on it. If it does, unplug it then plug it in again until it does not have a mic. This happens when you plug-in an earphone, or any 3.5 jack for that matter, that does not have a microphone and the phone recognizes it having a microphone. Hope this helps!
It happens to me as well, but I think the problem has something to do with the proximity sensor. As long as I keep the phone with the screen facing my leg, my player randomly pauses and skip tracks. If I turn it around, the problem disappears. I think it has to do with DTW.

Thanks to your suggestion, I noticed that when I first plug the jack in, it's detected as without microphone. Then I start jogging, the audio pauses/skips/volume up, I take the phone out of my pouch and I find the earphones now is detected as having the microphone.

That was the first thing I thought, but to me it happens both with the phone facing my body or outside.
Combining yours and my feedback, I think I found out where the problem is. Apparently, the jack slot in this phone is not so solid so when you shake the phone running or whatever, the jack "moves" inside the slot. This causes the phone to lose headset connection and therefore pausing the music and likely also wakes up the screen and causes the track skipping. As for the volume raising, I still have to figure it out.
I will try bluetooth headsets on my next run and report back here.
With bluetooth headsets, there's no issue at all. The problem must actually be the "shaking" jack.
I've also encountered this problem with my own headphones. I solved it by putting just a little amount of tape on the part I circled in the image below.
The headphones take a little to be recognized by the phone (just a few more seconds) but after doing this the problem was gone.
