Audio Jack freezes Screen/Pandora - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

When I plug in the audio jack to an external speaker system my phone is totally unresponsive and often can't unlock or change anything in Pandora. It's really frustrating. Anyone had similar issues?

Sorry haven't experience this. What rom+kernel are you currently on. If anything, see try a different rom out and see if the problem is still there.

Does this problem persist even with other apps such as stock music?

Stock ROM and I'll have to double check about other players. Really, the problem lies in that whenever I use the phone to connect to my garage system it becomes unresponsive. I have no idea why/how it does that.

[Q] Rooted phone, screen stays blank when unlocked?

It has done it for a while with any ROM, the screen backlight will go on, and the button lights will go on but the screen picture doesn't show half the time when I unlock it. I can still touch the screen though and it works, but obviously I can't see what I'm doing! This is frustrating and could be terrible in an emergency... What should I do?
Also, when my headphones are in, and the phone detects it as a headset, it will spasm out by turning on voice search, and ringing people repeatedly until I unplug them, it also changes song too on any music app. Any way round this one too?
Thanks
Did you underclock?
Clean your audio jack to prevent the issue you said above.

Which rom are you using, custom or stock...We will need more details as it can be a setup issue...
Using LeeDroid, but its done the same with Android Revolution and I think MIUI too. I think it could be something to do with the CRT animation but I'm not 100% sure
Edit: I have turned off the animation and the problem is still there

Buglist for FD02. It is your chance to make a difference.

Everyone, we need a team project. I need a bug list for FD02. Can you all please list specific problems that you are having with the rom? Please refrain from listing problems with apps unless the app is a stock part of OS(ie caledar, contacts, music app, you get the point).
For example, if you are having issue with bluetooth please be specific on what the issue is, what hardware you are using, and how to recreate the problem.
If you have a problem that cannot be recreated it will be hard to get fixed. Thanks. You really will be helping.
All bugs need to be confirmed by at least two members so if we could help each other by testing bugs thay would be great.
And can we please refrain from immature useless post. Your post will be deleted and there is a chance you might get a nice vacation. There is a thread already set up for rants.

1 Auto Launch apps when you plug the phone into a DOCK. You can't turn it off. It forces you to pick one.
SO ANNOYING.
2 THE MODEM SUCKs. There is SO much work that needs to be done there. All the software development for ICS should be halted until they get the modem squared away.
THEY NEED TO BEEF UP THE VOLTAGE TO THE CORE AND TO THE RADIO. worry about battery life later, just get it to work first. Most of us can't even get a wifi signal standing 10 feet from a router, or a cell signal.
3 CUT and PASTE Can't cut the entire sentence. It seems that the first letter of every sentence is unselectable as you can't move the carrier over far enough to select it. It seems the touch screen does not sense to the entire edge of the screen. I think the touch screen does not sense that far off the screen, so you can't select the first part of any sentence, if it is all the way over to the edge of the screen. Maybe touch screen or resolution? This happend in portrait and landscape modes both.

One is sometimes when I am typing in the browser when I place the curser in the text field it randomly adds a word. Does anyone know what i am talking about or how to recreate it?
The other is my stereo bluetooth Motorola headphones will randomly pause music without me using my phone or pushing any buttons. I was using the treadmill and it just would pause out of no where.
I am not sure if i was using the stock music player or the Play one. Anyone else experience this issue either?

Your Bluetooth issue is not just you kc..... I have had similar issue forever. I dont think it's a phone or even a Samsung issue, I think its an Android issue.
I've been aggrivatingly dealing with that same problem even when I had my original Evo 4G.
What I have been able to narrow it down to is I get the pauses if I get a text, email, voicemessage, anything that causes the system to tweak or chirp. I've had it happen when switching radio/cell towers. Bluetooth, wired head phones, speakerphone, it don't matter.
It will happen during any audio playback, streaming, or stored. I keep hoping they will fix this annoying bug but until they do I just keep hitting play.

I will venture to say that this bluetooth problem is specific to this phone. I never had problems like this with my EVO. All of these problems started to show up with ICS. The were around when I was using GB but it was not as prevalent. The issue that I have is once it connects, it does not want to reconnect unless I power cycle bluetooth.

For anyone having issues with these builds, I highly suggest completely formatting your phone. This includes your internal storage. I kept having many of the issues listed above until i finally cleared every thing off my phone. Now every thing runs flawlessly, including chrome.

Only bugs I've noticed are:
Apps sometimes lag when tapping the icon to open.
Bluetooth was flawless for me on stock GB. Works fine on FD02 but my Kensington car kit has minor issues. Mainly, the remote will only control Google Play Music and won't play or pause other apps like PocketCasts or radio apps. It controlled those on GB. Minor but I miss it.
Otherwise, so far so good.

[Q] Screen not Turning off

Recently on a few roms I've seen my phone wake itself. Not entirely sure how.. And not to mention, it does this when I'm sleeping. So basically my phone will die within hours as my phone stays on and the screen burns in
Unfortunately I have a 30 second time out and it does not shut off my screen. It stays on entirely.
I need help to fix this issue, I have not recently installed anything I normally don't install things and haven't flashed any kernel or mod that should affect it. I did flash a Beats mod by rocko but I highly doubt that is causing the issue.

It sounds like some app is waking it up and then holding a wake lock. You will have to experiment and uninstall apps to see which app is doing it. Do you remember installing a certain app right before it starts doing it. More than likley it will be one of the apps on the running menu under manage applicarions.

Exactly this, apparently Doubletwist was the culprit. Shame too.. its never done that to me before, I like using my phone as a media server to use on my xbox/surround sound system
Thanks though, appreciate it.

I use better battery stats to find wakelocks. Sounds like yours was any easy find but some can be really sneaky.
I know Songbird has a ton of addons, maybe give it a look and see if it can do what doubletwist does.
In a related note....my screen timeout wouldn't work one day. No matter what I set it to, the phone would never timeout/display-off automatically. I just ran 'Fix Permissions' and issue fixed itself.
I'll have to try it, songbird is sick. I am in love with that audio player.

You probably have an issue with Screen Wakelock(a.k.a FULL_WAKE_LOCK) , which is used by third-party apps to control the screen.
There is an app which is specially developed for solving "wakelock" issues, It is called "Wakelock detector" freely available at GooglePlay.
Or you can just type "Wakelock" at GooglePlay
Here is XDA thread; Xda Wakelock detector
Perhaps this can help as well.

I'm having exactly the same problem, except I have an HTC Desire HD and it only started about a week ago. Have gone through all my files on my phone and can't find the sound anywhere, really starting to annoy me as well. Given the problem seems to be across manufacturers I am guessing it must be an app or something that has a bug. PM me if you want to compare what apps are on our phones and see if we can narrow down what might be causing it.

So, i got some good advise from one of the developers of the rom im using. his suggestion was to not install any of the samsung apps that come pre loaded on the phone. so i reflashed the rom i was using and chose not to install any of the samsung apps and guess what? it stopped. no more annoying sounds when im walking down the hall at work. but like you were suggesting it has to be app related but i couldn't for the life of me pinpoint which one it was. hopefully that will help you a little and give you some direction.

Music stops playing

Hi there,
I've got an annoying issue with my S3 with any player I use. The music stops playing at some point. It could be either after 3 min or 27 min with headset plugged in or not.
I've checked everywhere and 've seen a lot of people with the same problem but none of them has a proper fix.
I am running stock JB, Canadian Bell version, no root, no flash or any of these.
I didn't activate any motion option or fancy way to stop the player. When I receive a notification of all kind while listening, the player just stops for half a sec and then resume, I believe it is the way it should work.
I would much appreciate some help coz it drives me crazy.
By the way, happy new Year!
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
I have had a similar problem with my phone ever since I switched to JB. My problem was that once the screen turned off, the player would stop, or stop once the song ends and not start the next song. I did not have this problem with ICS.
For me, I was able to fix it by going into the music app setting and unchecking the box for the screen automatically turning off during music play. However, if I turn the screen off manually the music will stop again either right away or at the end of the song. For now I'm OK just leaving the screen on since I charge the phone when I'm streaming music in the car.
Idk if this will help you or not.

had a friend that was using go locker, when the phone fell to sleep, within a few minutes the music would stop. disabling and renabling go locker fixed it. this phone was not rooted.
I tried disable/enable and uninstall /reinstall and no luck. But, I figured it out that it was due to Juice Defender settings and adjusted them and now Pandora will play when the screen is off.

Well you said you have no motions enabled but just throwing this out there you can turn over to mute/pause under motion control. I don't see how this could be a hardware problem so if you reinstalled stock it shouldn't be happening. If it's not your software then the only thing I could imagine is the encoding of your files. I know from experience that some MP4s from iTunes don't work. idk why.
Hi,

Music doesn't stop when screen's off. It just stops randomly.

What are you playing music with? (I'm assuming whatever media player comes with stock, but I could be wrong.)
What else do you have running on your phone right now?
I first used the stock media player then tried winamp and now poweramp.
Same problem with any of these.
There is always a lot of apps running in background such as bloat, mail, fb, rss reader, games....
I don't use task killers. I have GSam battery monitor and juice defender.
But as far as I know they don't kill running apps, unless i'm mistaken.

I think we have an answer, folks.
I would suggest going back to basics. There might be some debris in your headphone jack that shorts the "Pause" action. I would blow some compressed air in there, just in case.
Also, didn't S Voice or something have a command to Pause/Play? Maybe you have that on and through casual conversation S Voice is picking it up as Pause?
Thanks for your advise.
Blew some air but just in case but nothing.
S Voice cmd isn't active, I had already turn that off.
I think I'll do a factory reset and see if it fixes it.

I have had this problem off and on ever since I got the phone. It usually happens when I am listening to music and listening to the coaching from my running app (Endomondo Pro). They both work fine for a while then randomly one or both will stop playing through the headphones. I have tried a factory reset multiple times and nothing completely stops this.
Ok
Basically I don't need to bother to do so. Coz to be honest it's a pain in the a.. to do it.
Don't know what to do to fix this.

My PowerAmp developed a similar problem out of the blue just today or within the last few days.
JB 4.1.1 Ultimatum ROM.
Was working fine.
Then noticed it would stop playing after just five seconds, repeatedly.
I uninstalled.
Wiped Cache & Davlik.
Reinstalled and so far, so good. No more problems yet.
Pandora did not have any problems before or after.
Nope, n/m.
As soon as I hooked it up to my dock with DIY USB-OTG cable, PowerAmp started stopping/starting again.
Could be JB or any dozen other things, including my DIY cable.
I'll have to t/s some more.

As I said here:
You are running JuiceDefender.
Someone else in the thread with the same problem was running JuiceDefender.
Said someone else was able to make the problem go away by tinkering with JuiceDefender settings.
Could that possibly be the source of the problem, and a possible solution?
And as I said : we guys don't seem to have the same problem.
My player doesn't stop when screen goes black. My player stops randomly that's it.
He wanted to listen to internet radio while screen's off and just needed to set juice defender properly.
Anyway

If a specific program you're using is causing a similar issue to the one you're experiencing with other users, is it not worth taking a similar approach to solving the problem? If you don't have a sense of what settings in that program might be causing issues, then just stop the program running for a while and see if the problem goes away.
Likewise, if it's something else on your phone causing issues, stop other programs you might be running from running one by one and see if/when the problem goes away.

Umm, I am a she, not a he .
When I researched further, it was Juice Defender turning off the cellular raido that was causing the problem. The screen was a coincidence.
It wouldn't hurt to turn Juice Defender off and see if it still happens, just to rule that out. That way you would know for sure it is something else.
My set up is the same as yours, stock phone (can't remember if you are using ICS or JB), with Juice Defender and GSam Battery Monitor.
I ended up just turning Juice Defender off and putting it on power saving mode and honestly I haven't noticed a difference in performance, and I'm having better battery life than with Juice Defender. I'm getting average 23 hours on a charge and I'm using it a lot (although it does get charged in my car when I'm streaming music). With Juice Defender I was getting average 17 hours on a charge with using it a lot.
Sorry about that!
I did try that already but didn't change a thing.
I think I'll consider rooting it and flashing it.
