[Q] Force Close Youtube and Bluetooth issues

Hello all. I am enjoying android on my Tilt 2. Thanks to all who have contributed.
I am fairly new to Android and have been having some issues. Although there are references to one of my issues elsewhere none of the posted suggestions have worked for me. I have installed and uninstalled over a dozen different Youtube .apk files and each one results in a force close upon opening the app. Has anyone had this issue on a Tilt2 and how did you fix it?
Secondly, I have seen reference to bluetooth working in some of the newer builds. Is it working on a Tilt2 in any build? When I try to turn on bluetooth it trys for several seconds but never actually turns on. If anyone has it working on a Tilt2 could you please explain how you got it working? Can I use a stereo bluetooth headset with it, if not is there anyway to use usb headphones?
I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere. I am sure there will be some people asking if i even searched. As i mentioned, I have seen references, but none seemed to be clear on what device they were using. (Rhod, Tilt2, TP2, etc..) Any help is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work. Hopefully soon this will be an option for all-around everyday use on these devices.

Well BT doesn't really work... it'll pair, but it won't pass audio. At least that was my experience on my RAPH - haven't tested on my RHOD.
Youtube, never really tried that either... may need hw3d to work right. I heard that the 'low-quality' version of youtube works tho.
3.5mm headphone jack works - kinda. But currently to get it to work it breaks all other sound. I'm not sure if it works on the extUSB thing, but I'd imagine it would - you just set the snd.force to 1 (I set it to 2 for the 3.5mm jack) and boot Android while a call to voicemail is running - with some headphones plugged in. This does cause adverse effects - no sound other than the headphones, and I noticed funky noises coming out of the speaker when playing music thru the headphones...

I posted a working YouTube apk here (low quality mode only): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7954193&highlight=youtube#post7954193
BT doesn't currently work on the Rhodium. I assume it's because of the different BT stack that's used by our device. Besides that, while BT turns on for the Topaz & Raphael, audio doesn't pass properly, as was already mentioned. 3.5mm Headset doesn't work on the Tilt 2 through the ExtUSB (in fact, no audio passes through the adapter at all).

Don't know if you've figured this out yet or not, but I had the same youtube issue on my rooted LG ally. I've worked on it for over an hour now, and finally got a solution.
Download Titanium Backup from android market. Go to "Backup/Restore" in Titanium, scroll down to the YouTube entry, tap it, tell Titanium to Wipe Data.
Edit: Okay, I lied. Reboot and back to force closes.

Bluetooth - not using BT Mic

Hi,
I've had A2DP working on my in-car audio for a while now - but it seems not to work with the mic anymore. It uses the phone mic instead of the headunit one.
Does anyone know if there's anything I can alter to force it to use the BT one, or is it likely ROM/Kernel/Radio specific?
FWIW I'm running the latest Modaco ROM with franco milestone 4.
Thanks

Make sure you have phone checked in the Bluetooth settings.

Yep, both phone and media are ticked.

I have been having the same issue ever since I upgraded to JB. When I make phone calls through my car stereo the sound comes out of the speakers fine but it wont use the stereo microphone it keeps using the phone mic.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

I'm having a similar problem, my GN connects to my car (or my BT speaker or headset) and shows connected on both the device and the GN. But it doesn't use the device even if it appears it should. I'm just running the latest JB image, and everything worked fine yesterday. I've rebooted, I've unpaired, now I need some more suggestions!
Thanks in advance!

I reloaded the latest image of JB to my phone and now the BT is back to working correctly. I'm thinking the DockStation app for my Philips dock caused the issue, but can't confirm.

[Q] Wired Headset Mode not exiting, can you relate?

Ok so it's been a while I didn't use my phone with a wired headset, but some time ago I would always use it to listen to music on my daily commute. Lately I started using it again. I've always used it with some Soul SL99 for music and calls with no problems.
But since 2 days ago I noticed it stays on headset mode even after disconnecting the headphones. when I make a call the built in mic and speaker don't work and the proximity sensor disabled. I can use it on speaker with no problem, and if I connect the headset people don't here me clearly. I have to restart the phone to exit headset mode on it, but whenever I connect my headphones it'll stay in headset mode no matter what until I restart it again.
Only weird thing I've done is try out different audio mods, like AwesomeBeats, Ac1d audio and Noozxoide. So I can't tell if it's damaged hardware or software. I've tried full wiping my rom, I've tried 3 different Roms including going back to 4.1 and on every single rom it does the same thing.
So basically my question is, could it be software driver related? Or most likely hardware? If software, would there be a fix? And if hardware, what piece would it be, the loud speaker/headphone module, or the headphone flex cable?
Has anyone experienced this before?

I have no experience with it, but maybe this will fixed in the next update to fix Bluetooth streaming.
Can you try cm10 stable or another 4.2 rom and see if that helps

I did, I tried AOKP latest build, XenonHD, CNA 3.8.0, and some others. Still does the same thing. Hopefully it is software and I won't have to buy replacement parts.

No one can help?

Still no one can help?

I've bought a Nexus some days ago and it already came with 4.2.1. I have just added root and CWM.
Yesterday I tried for the first time to connect it to my car's bluetooth handsfree kit. I activated Btooth, but I've not found any way to make the phone visible. Tapping on the phrase "your phone is not visible" did nothing. It was searching for devices but found nothing. Later at home I've found on google forums many people that have problems with bluetooth on 4.2.1. I also found that in some situation it is impossible to turn it off, and it does not work correctly. I have found this advice:
Go in settings - applications. swipe to the right last page "ALL". Search for bluetooth pairing app. Click on it and terminate it. Maybe you have to tap twice. Now your BT is off. Now go in application again (or use your favorite widget, like widgetsoid) and turn BT on again. Now it should work (for some time, only !!) This way I was able to pair Nexus with handsfree and also I've made some calls.
From forums, it seems a software bug. Found in other phones also, not only on Nexus.
Cheers

[Q] No Sound via Speaker, Headset, or Bluetooth

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for me wrt to audio problems with my wife's Sprint Galaxy S3.
On a fully stock up to date S3, about 3 days ago all sound stopped working, this includes alarms, answer calls, key press sounds, playing music. However after a reboot, it would start working again for 6 hours or so, and then quit again. I assumed this was a software issue of some sort. I have an older rooted phone which I love and have had for years, I suggested that we finally root her S3, so she could get all those benefits plus fix whatever little software problem this was.
The rooting process when fine, and the phone now has CWM and CM 10.1.2 (Android 4.2.2). However the audio issue is still there and in fact a reboot no longer fixes the issue.
I have tried pluggin in the ear buds w/ built in mic, and those too fail to work. I also have paired various bluetooh devices like mini boom boxes etc.. they all pair fine however there is no audio output from them. No audio in the dial pad when hitting the numbers. When trying to play music the DSP Manager will crash, and then the music app crashes (tried Apollo and Google music). If I go to the sound recorder and hit record, it pops up with "Internal application error.".
So it seems all audio (speaker, mic, bluetooth, and headset) is broken which again makes me think software, but even after rooting and installing a new rom like Cyanogenmod the issue is here.
Any thoughts on what else I can try? Any firmware updates that I could apply specific to audio issues like this, or perhaps it is some sort of hardware issue that is preventing the software drivers from behaving properly?
thanks,
fishtek

I would Odin back to complete stock and see if the issue still arises. If it does then it could be hardware related.

Same problem

Problem with microphone and custom rom

Hello, me again...
So I stumbled upon a bug in majority of ROMS, and I wondered if this is fixed or not, because I have been trying to fix this issue for almost 2 days.
So the problem is that, on some (majority) custom ROMS, microphone is not working. When I record a sound - no reaction, and when I record video, there is only static (white) noise - and nothing else.
This is not a hardware issue, for I installed stock firmware, and it's working there. There are also some ROMS, on which the mic was working( but I forgot which one it was).
Is there anything for me to try? This problem is annyoing, because i want atleast 4.0.4 or 4.1 rom, and use my phone as camera, but it ain't working.
P.S Currently I'm on XperiaPlay Z Final Ultimate Edition and it's not working.
UPDATE: I tried different Camera APP, and it doesn't work either.
The only thing i noticed is, that when i go to the service menu, and test the First MIC - it works. When I test the Second Mic(Back Mic) it doesn't work, and makes the static noise.
So I guess there's a problem with the back mic drivers or something ?
UPDATE2 : So, yesterday I tried bunch of roms and even tried CM 13.0 - The sound was recording in camera (despite that I had to install open camera to even get to the camera because of FC). Then I tried one of the 4pda forum ROMS - 4PDA-XPlay-Gamer-Ultra (though it is ICS) and the microphone works fine. What could be the cause ?
