When I play my music back though my aux cable in my car, it sounds very weird. The background music and back up vocals are very loud and the lead vocals and main guitar is very low. I updated to ics, didn't notice any issue. Flashed darkside, didn't notice anything, then flashed cm10 and started noticing it.
I then backed up to darkside to see if cm10 was the issue. It doesn't seem to be as my issue is still there.
I tried it in my friends car to make sure it wasn't my aux cable or car, same issue.
Anyone have any ideas?

awake,
Sounds like a lot of flashing. What are you on now? What ROM, what kernel etc... have you been wiping every time?
How adventurous to try the JB builds
If you've done everything right... it's probably a hardware issue. Maybe the plug is messed up or the cable is messed up. I've seen it in my old headphones where if the cable-decays in a certain way, you get that... "background loud" "main low"... it's strange, but get a new cable Pray it's not the jack on the phone.
The jb build was awesome. Everything worked great except id get random SODs.
I don't flash kernels because I'm scared, so unless the rom comes with a different kernel I just leave it alone. Same with radios.

Hi guys, I have a strange problem and I couldn't find any Qs and As to it in the forum so I thought I'd post it up and see if someone can help me figure this problem out.
I was running EliteMod and out of nowhere this problem arose.
Whenever I put in my headset the phone would become unresponsive/frozen, and on the odd occasion it would work, but after a few minutes would randomly restart.
I thought it may have been the rom so I flashed another.
I'm now running Cyanogenmod 9 ICS beta 10 and the problem is still apparent.
I'm at a loss of what it could be.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
Edit:
I should add that when I reflashed Cyanogenmod 9, I put the headphones right at the start when setting up a fresh google account on startup, still the same result. Which is why it has me so confused. It came up at random, and a fresh flash won't get rid of it.

I had this same problem for two different reasons with two different phones.
The first time, which seems unlikely for you, was a problem with DSP Manager that comes with CM9 causing my phone to crash and restart.
The second is manufacturer error. The phone has a titanium case, and due to some errors in assembly, when I would plug in headphones, the system would freeze and restart. Because I still had warranty, I had it replaced and the problem disappeared.
If you have a multimeter there are ways to check for a short, but I'm not sure if you are familiar with this.
Hope this helps!
Ahh I see.
I guess that would make the most sense... a hardware fault.
I'm out of warranty so I guess no more music via this phone.
Thanks for the advice

If you still want to try and find a solution, get some electrical tape (or another strong insulating tape) and cut off a thin strip lengthwise (about 0.8-1cm width x 3-4 cm length) and tape it to the top of the headphone plug on your headphones so that it blocks any contact with the titanium.

I use a pair of Bluetooth headphones and a Bluetooth-enabled car radio. But alas, if you care a lot about your sound quality, then Bluetooth certainly is *not* the way to go.
But if you care that much about audio quality, you would have a dedicated device which uses all it's processing power for playback, right?
Hey everyone:
Ever since I upgraded to 4.x on the E4GT, I've had intermittent problems with using Pandora on 3G. The connection appears to timeout, as it displays the song information but never actually plays, and then it skips to the next song generally repeating until I close the application. I've tried uninstalling it, clearing data, etc. even going so far as to factory reset. This persists across modems. The only thing I can say for sure about it is that it happens more when I use it while it's plugged into my car dock. Has anyone else had this problem?

I've found the same. The only time that I see it working in when connected to WIFI. I've tried it under ICS and JB 3G. But it doesn't word either place.http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
Did you change your Sprint proxy? I've heard of people fixing their Pandora 3g streaming issues by restoring back their Sprint proxy to default values from that 0.0.0.0 tweak thingy..

This happens on and off with Pandora and it happened to me on GB rom also. It seems more common right after a Pandora app update then after a day or two it always fixes itself so I figure the issue is on their end.

That seems like it might work. Since this is related to the thread, does anyone know how to change proxies from AOSP? Maybe using adb?

No idea, Sorry man. Try the same way as with touchwiz. If it doesn't work it you might have to flash to touchwiz so it and flash back, or if the temp touchwiz thingy is done use that.
You were right about the Sprint proxy. I changed back and it started to work on 3g. However, when I have it plugged into my car dock (the official Samsung one) it still refuses to play. I'm wondering if car mode interferes with it.

I had a similar issue with dock mode as well but i was using the dock but connected to the car by bluetooth(sync is one hell of a system) try checking your dock settings specifically the audio out setting, Play around with that guy. Also get an aux cable plug that into the dock and the car and see if that helps you.

Yeppers, same here, was instructed to clear data out of app, but no-go, seems to work better on wifi for some reason though...
So here's what I've discovered.
As of now, on stock 4.1.1, the phone runs smooth when audio is screwed up. The moment touch sounds work again (or the moment I install SoundAbout to fix it) it starts lagging like crazy. Is this a hardware thing? After switching roms, kernels, versions of Android, flashing stock and locking the bootloader nothing has worked.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So I'm having this strange issue that I don't really see mentioned previously (based on my multiple searches)
My phone was running fine until I flashed Paranoid Android (The last Jellybean 4.1 Release). On this ROM i was getting some insane lag, sluggish performance. I'd swipe on the home screen and get a huge delay or the phone would read it as a long touch and bring up the wallpapers option. Opening folders and the app drawer had some serious slow downs. It was a real mess.
I assumed the phone just didn't play well with the ROM so I flashed over to Bugless Beast. The odd thing is that the problems persisted. I would get just as horrible performance and the same sluggish visual effects and stuff. Specifically I remember even the audio slowing down and being choppy (touch sounds) until they automatically disabled themselves and the ROM ran smooth for a bit but returned to the sluggishness again.
So last night I restored to stock flashing the stock image and relocking the bootloader. Rooted, unlocked, flashed recovery again and loaded up Bugless Beast and the issue is still happening. Even got my first random reboot on Bugless Beast today after it slowed down really bad. Now I've noticed that when touch sounds disable themselves so does media audio (while the ringer and notification sounds still work). This is pretty much why I'm convinced it's a software problem and not a hardware one.
Basically I just wanted to know if anyone's experienced something similar and found a way to fix it? Probably going to reflash to stock tonight
EDIT: Well it seems like the audio thing might be a hardware issue. SoundAbout fixed that but I don't see how my audio jack could have been damaged in between flashes.
EDIT 2: Current State:
- I tried flashing just the system img (multiple times) and the lag returned
- I just flashed a 4.2.1 ROM just to see what happened. Touch sounds are back which means my headphone jack fixed itself. Still EXTREMELY slow.
- And just like that headphone jack screwed AGAIN but no more lag? Any reason for these two things to be related?
Bump. Any help? Still happening, though not as common, when I flashed stock
Could it be a hardware problem? Though it would be odd for a hardware issue to show up after flashing a rom. How long have you had the phone before the issues started?
Have you tried the official 4.1.1 image?
If so, do problems go away?
If you are using ports you have to expect bugs.
Let us know

Try flashing just the system.img a few times in fast boot with a reboot boot loader between. I was having slow boot up and random performance issues on full stock until I flashed that partition with the stock image (3 Times to be precise). I no longer have the 5 minute wait for the Google logo to disappear, and overall much snappier. Apparently something was leftover from previous restores/downloaded OTA updates.

I'd suggest you stop messing around with multiple ROMs and start trying different kernels. Kernels will impact performance much more than any specific ROM will. Try either an updated version of leanKernel (assuming your sig is accurate) or a different kernel all together. Others have had luck with franco, trinity, etc, etc.
Had the same problem on my GSM GNex yesterday. Flashed a ROM combination (Xylon 4.2.1 + Lean Kernel 5.0) and had this lag.. everything would lag and FC.. tried a full wipe as well but didnt work..
Changed to another AOSP Rom (UDK 4.2.1 with linaro kernel) and its fine now..
Oh and i also changed recovery from 6.0.1.5 non-touch(that i flashed yesterday) to CWM 6.0.1.9 touch..
Not sure if this helps but thats what worked for me.. I suggest going back to a ROM that worked for you in the past.. and also try formatting your SD card and run the phone without putting back your data for a while..
@rlb81 - Starting to think it might be a hardware one but at this point I'm not sure of anything. Only had the device 3 months.
@tincbtrar - Yeah I flashed the official 4.1.1 image and the problems are still there. Ridiculously sluggish and the audio problems. In fact, on stock 4.1.1 I just had this issue where I'd turn the screen off, the animation would be really slow, and then I'd get a black screen and wouldn't be able to wake it up. Did a battery pull to boot it again and the same exact issue the second time it turned on.
@Winesnob - I'll be sure to give this a try. Thanks so much! This is a really odd issue and I've never experienced it on any of my previous android devices (Fascinate, Incredible, Thunderbolt, even the old HTC Vogue)
@Cilraaz - Currently just trying to get stock running properly so everything is locked right now. Can't remember but I'm pretty sure I tried the newer lean kernel when I flashed back to bugless.
@technogravy - Kinda the same response I have for Cilraaz here. Ideally I'd like to get stock running properly so that I can be sure there isn't something horribly messed up with my phone but I'll be sure to give both of your suggestions a try if things don't seem to work with stock.
Thanks so much to all of you guys. If you have any other input it'd be greatly appreciated.
+1 on try different kernels, my phone seems to love lean kernel. I switched to tiny kernel for a few days and every so often, a simple task like opening tapatalk would take up to 30 seconds, and everything would become unresponsive. Nothing but smoothness on lean, give some different kernels a try.

I tried Winesnob's method and I THOUGHT it worked. Was running smooth for a good amount of time and just now back to the really choppy mess it was before. In fact it just got frozen on the lock screen and went to a black screen again.
This is killing me. The headphone jack thing seems to be a hardware issue anyway so I emailed Wirefly about getting a replacement. I feel like they'll avoid that though and I'll be left with this.
Gonna try some other things tonight. Wish me luck
EDIT: The thing gets so choppy that notification sound get choppy and crackle. This is insane. I'm fully stock minus the unlocked bootloader right now
EDIT2: Flashed stock image and touch sounds came back. This is getting really weird. Lag is still here though. Really bad lag
Bumping again now that I've sort of pinpointed the issue. Lags with touch sounds enabled and headphone jack works / soundabout installed with touch sounds on.
Currently the phone's headphone jack is screwed up, I installed soundabout, disabled touch sound and no lag.
Over in the dinc2 forums a lot of people are having the same issue when going from vipers sense rom back to aosp. I know that's not the case here but they found it was due to a new lib partition that was introduced in jb. Again, not sure if I'm 100% on this, but it does sound like a bad wipe and something is getting left from previous roms
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Ahh thanks for the heads up
Would it be wise for me to try going back to the ROM that started the problem? Maybe that'll do *something?
Again, from what I saw, everyone had some luck going back to the rom that caused the problem.
There's a tool in the developer thread called "super duper wipe" that seems to have fixed the lag for ones having the issue. I'm not sure how it works, but If you can take it apart and look at the zip, it may point someone in the right direction.

I took a look at that super duper wipe script...looks interesting but not necessary on our phone.
Im starting to think you may have a hardware issue if you cant flash stock images and get everything back to normal. Maybe a relock and then unlock?
i just did this cause I had a SIM card issue...and naturally it wiped my data completely.

turns out my lag problems weren't gone completely until i wiped /System before flash.. Alot of ROM's out there have a /system wipe script, but the one causing my FC's and lag didn't, so it was installing the new system files on top of the old ones and possibly causing a conflict.
it could the same for you
Yeah I've recently tried unlocking again, formatting system before a ROM flash and I still get lag. Now it's more that it will last a day without the lag and just magically come back the next day. Headphone/speaker issues still exist. Wirefly completely ignored my first email so I sent them another one. Hoping for the best.
Completely lost on what this could be

I have random lag on my vzw nexus and i think its io related and nothing to do with the kernel.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I'll check out that app but like I've mentioned. Lag seems to be coming from sound. After installing soundabout to get the speaker working again I get some nasty lag. Disable touch sounds and I have no lag. Disable the sound effects on twitter - no issues with the app. WireFly said I'm still under manufacturer warranty through my carrier and it sounds like I should be covered. If Verizon tries anything to get around that they'll be willing to do a three way call to make sure I get the replacement. I'll probably end up with a refurb but hopefully it'll beat this stupid issue.
Just stopping in to say thanks to everyone that tried to fix the issue but Verizon is sending out my replacement device today and I'll be sending this one with the faulty headphone jack back.
Problem solved!
Hey everyone!
So I flashed to Hyper Drive 15 about a week ago. I noticed if something is plugged into the headphone jack any Bluetooth audio OR speaker phone will not work on my end until the headphone jack is clear.
This happens with headphones and an aux cable.
Has anyone running this Rom noticed this? If you are running it could you try to duplicate it?
I really need this to work I have a bunch of conference calls during the week in my car...
Any fixes or suggestions would be appreciated.
Also WHAT ROM DO YOU THINK WORKS THE BEST? I like having the multi window, that is the only reason I switched, but I feel like cm10.2 ran better with battery life and it never had this odd bug....
Thanks!
Never got that. I did get activation screens that never went away unless I hit home button with just about every boot. That made me to move on to another ROM. The only thing about hyperdrive that I digged was the s4 weather widget. Try De-Tmobilized and see if that floats your boat.

Android 4.4 Roms on my Galaxy Note II have been causing headphone audio problems. Otherwise audio works fine, as with any other non 4.4 rom. Has this been happening to anyone else, and if so, does anyone have a solution? =/ Been looking forward to 4.4 for monthes, this is just so disappointing.

What type of problems are you having. There's a general low audio volume on the 4.4 roms but other than that there's no issues with audio for me. I'm running omnirom 4.4.2
Explanation
It's strange. Once I have it installed, I have sound without headphones. However if i plug in the headphones, I do not get any sound. It sort of goes out after a certain point and doesn't come back unless I take out headphones again and play sound THEN plug in headphones.
Just tried viper4android and it keeps asking me to verify if its rooted -.-.
I get random sounds like the pop sound when I hit a group folder, but only get sound otherwise on apps if i take headphone out, press play or whatever, then plug headphone in

I had the same problem for the longest time. If you move from anything pre 4.4 to 4.4 you get that effect. I have solved the problem by doing a full factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, and the secret is wiping internal storage as well but I also wipe system but I'm fairly certain it has to do with internal storage but I wipe all of those to be sure and it fixes the problem. Hope this helps! I use twrp so I can't confirm it works with cwm or philz
Thank you so much dadudeguy44. It's worth a try, will have to figure it out since I'm still relatively new to rooting

I'm not sure what the problem is. I was on a ROM, updated to the next version of that ROM and the problem came back. I wiped everything but systen and reflashed and problem came back then wiped everything including system and reflashed and problem solved so it has to do with system. Side note wiping system on my cwm will wipe EVERYTHING including your external sd and all the data on your phone. I learned the hard way but I think I was on an older version of cwm. I have used twrp ever since. Let me know how it works out for ya
I thought id take your advice and try twrm but when I tried to install through goomanager I still end up booting into cwm. Any idea why that might be hapoening ?
