[Q] Touch Screen stops responding only when... - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My touch screen will not respond if I have my phone plugged into the audio of my tv. I have a 3.5 mm headphone jack to L/R RCA. If the tv is off, but still plugged in, the phone responds normally, as soon as I turn the tv on the touch screen stops responding.
Has anyone else had this issue? Anyone know of a workaround? I didn't have the issue on my buddies home theater receiver using the same cable...

When you have the phone connected try not to touch the cable going to the tv, this may help. I have noticed sometimes when my phone is connected to a computer if I touch the cord the screen will not respond.

The tv has some weird feedback or something. It works fine with any other stereo.

TV OUT - Screen causes buzz

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!

[Q] Bluetooth and Charging behavior

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.

Strange video Google now issue

If I have my phone plugged into an audio cable plugged into my car stereo, if I play a video and put the phone down, Google now pops up. It doesn't do this if no cable is plugged in. Anyone got an idea about what is causing this, thanks

Headphones mistaken if plugged when screen off

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.
