(Solved) My music Player skips....does yours? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Does anyone have the same problem that i have; when I'm listening to a music player, it skips and just goes to a new song sometimes. I'm not sure if it's because of the "control apps with voice" feature and it's getting confused or what. I turned off the voice command of apps to make sure but it did it that way also.
I also had what sounded like two tracks going at once....not sure.
I was mowing and it was happening and also driving in the car with the window down it was doing it.

Before i close my answer, are you on stock or a custom rom?

I'm stock but rooted. It also happened before rooting.

It sounds like a hardware problem if you had this problem before rooting. Are you able to service the phone?

I don't know what you mean service...you mean like crack the case and start trying to fix things? No way.

I never had it prior to rooting or flashing
a custom Rom but afterwards. I found it to be because I want "safely" ejecting my device from my computer. It was my files becoming corrupt from that had no problems after using eject hardware safely

I think I found the answer; the S voice feature called "control apps".
I turned it off (for music) and had no problems....I turned it back on and when there were loud noises, or loud talking....that's when funny things would happen.

Any lost or stolen app that also blocks hard reset?

I found a few apps that tracks your phone down or even takes pictures of the person trying to unlock it, but like the title says, is there any app that blocks hard reset? It's kind of pointless if your phone gets stolen if they can just shut the phone off and do a hard reset to it and sign in with there email,
Thanks :-D

I guess in theory you could place an app like Seekdroid in the system folder and then do a hard reset. Usually a hard reset won't affect system apps.

you can't really avoid physical maneuvers. and anything baked into the phone's startup has to be a modification to the actual ROM. so no.

Check out Android Lost, it does alot of those things as well. Relies on push messaging too, so its very light. You can take a picture on demand, turn on GPS and get location, download texts/emails, etc.

Yea it would, also it would be tight if Samsung had in app like that already installed, that way even with a master reset you'll still be able to find your $700 + phone lol, I haven't lost one yet (knock on wood) but still very nervous of loosing it, ill give android lost a try,

This is how I got around the GPS toggle not working:
Since AndroidLost.com allows you to send texts, I have setup a tasker profile which waits for a text that says "androidlost" and if it receives it, it enables GPS.

Did you make a nandroid backup after you installed a custom recovery, if you did you could test things from earlier. I'd look in an earlier backup for the problem as part of the process of elimination, as well as data wipe/reset. Is it possible it is your network? Use another phone and call your phone, can you reproduce the event? Does it put you to vm? Does it keep ringing? Do you have a 3rd party app that could be tied to it? How about Google voice?

Yes I have a backup. I have yet to do a factory wipe I was hoping to avoid it but I will do one to see if that fixes it. I don't have any app that I think interacts with my ringing other than zedge and trays just for ringtones. I can replicate the error every time from any network that calls. What would Google voice do for me?
The best advice I can give you is to start fresh and add things one by one testing each time for the problem you experience. When and if you find the culprit you can go from there.

It would be great if you can give us more info on your phone. For example. What is the software or ROM are you currently using? Is it rooted? That just a start. More info the better.

This has been happening to me for a while on my NS4G (On Sprint) too. Entirely stock, latest JB OTA still reproduces. It's awfully annoying. Sad to hear it happens on other phones too.

I am on the most current update. This started with the most current update.
On a second note I have now realized that if I am listening to my music on the phone over bluetooth and I receive a text message it will pause the song, play the notification, then start a completely different song from the beginning. I may have to go full wipe and see what happens.

If a full wipe fails too, you might have to try rooting and flashing a custom ROM and see if that fixes the issue. Or you can see if ATT can replace it for you.

[Q] Inline Mic no longer works [CM 10.1]

Is anyone having a problem with an inline mic not working at all on their GSIII?
Ever since approx CM 10.1 beta 4 the mic on a couple pairs of headphone no longer works. The mic no longer receives sound during calls and pushing the single button has no effect in music players like it used to. Headphone ear buds still play sound just fine.
I updated to the most recent nightly and problem still persists.
I'm just not 100% sure it its a problem with the ROM or if coincidentally for some reason my headphone jack has failed and is no longer receiving mic signals.
Anyone else having this problem or know a fix for it?
Odin back to stock and test. Then you will have your answer.

I doubt it is CM.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using xda premium
I've had lots of random issues in the past where Poweramp wouldn't respond to the buttons on the earbuds (never used one with a mic). Would work fine for a while, then stop. Poweramp is almost never updated. So that has to be a CM problem.
Also, Tasker was no longer reading my notifications to me while my earbuds where plugged in. Worked fine for months on every nightly up to a certain point. No longer works. I think headset plugged isn't being registered within the OS anymore.
My money is on CM bug.
Weird definitely. I figured there being no talk of it it wasn't an issue, only person to ask this lol... Hopefully it is a bug within cm only though. Someone pull system/usr/keychars|key layout/general file and compare them, I fixed this issue with LiquidSmooth 2.2 release which in turn fixed Carbon's exact issue. Maybe they changed something and/broke something.

You mean comparing the two files?
What am I look for a difference in?
Yes compare the "general" in system/usr/keylayout & keychars... I just put them side by side in notepad and scroll and check to see I'd they're different in any way at all. Better yet you can just push them, remove the current ones and replace them with new ones and then reboot.... That's how I fixed the issue with Liquid a while back surprisingly lol.

Well the news is in.
Running stock Touchwiz rom the inline mic worked perfectly with calls and controlling music.
But back on CM 10.1 latest nightly and it no longer works again.
on a side note I'm pretty pissed. Some how between the odin flashing of stock and cwm flash of CM 10.1 half the **** on my sd card including my titaniumbackups and my nandroid backs up are no where to be found. My music and several other old app folders are still on the card but not the actual important stuff I needed to restore. Whats weird is my SD card still shows the same amount of data on the card but I can't find any of it anywhere.
