I just got the phone on Sat. morning, rooted it that night and removed some bloatware.
Today at work, during lunch I wanted to watch some youtube, and every video would play for a 5-7 seconds and then as if someone is touching the screen it pauses and then immediately play again.
I thought it was the palm gesture, that pauses music? So I turned off all gestures and its still doing it.
Really annoying! I cleaned the phone so there is no smudges or anything.
WTF could be causing this? I shouldn't have rooted this thing, now if I gotta bring it back, I'm screwed
holy mother mary!!
Please disregard this post!! It wasn't gestures, it was the smart pause!! (I FEEL STUPID)
Lol, dont worry, we've all be there before.
it may be the smart stay ( pause video when looking away ) thing. unchecked it
That's what he said 2 posts up.

I got back to work after watching in my car, I was sitting in a parking lot and it was working great. then all of a sudden when I started to drive it was pausing and playing.
Mind you I had the phone down and was listening through my blue tooth.
I was so pissed when I got back to work, thinking, how the hell do I return this 3 day old phone, I already rooted it!
I made this post and it hit me! it wasn't gestures! it was that silly smart pause thing.

Has anyone noticed that with the latest google navigation, the nice phone lady no longer warns you when your turn is coming up? She just blurts out, "Turn left." when you're in the far right lane maybe 20 yards from the intersection. She used to say, "In 200 feet, turn right," then after a bit, "Turn right." Is there a way to get my verbal warning back, or has Google really just made their navigation almost useless?

I noticed that as well. While I don't use navigation that often, it was very noticeable when it was missing. Almost missed my exit.
I thought it was just a glitch, or that I missed it being said. Glad to know it's not just me.

The only thing I can think that makes that make sense is they're assuming everyone is using a mount and keeping the screen on like a real GPS nav unit, so they can see their turn coming up. But that's a bad assumption.

Hmmm, could be. It would be a huge oversight on their part if that is true.
Funny, because I would be using a mount if they made one that fit the phone while in a case. I bought tje docks (both car and desk) and returned them because of this. I'm not going to take my phone out of the case every time I want to use a dock.

Yah. I dont know why they did that
Maybe we should make a fuss in the comments in the play store.

Hadn't noticed this, but that does suck. My gf got me a dock from radio shack that fits the hercules with a case on it

Yeah I noticed that as well but I had already given up google nav for Waze. Waze has much better fluid directions ahead of time - plus it has speedtrap and traffic alerts as it's a social networking navigator app. Way way better.
i use both Google Nav and Copilot. Nav became more convenient so I use it almost daily. However after the update came the "New (soft) lady voice" and I hate her. She speaks to soft and I can't hear her as well. I want the loud booming robotic voice back but don't know where to find it.
That leads into my second issue with Nav. The two ladies seem to start and finish each others directions.
example:
(slv - soft lady voice): now take upcoming left... (LBRV takes over) IN 300 FEET, NOW TAKE LEFT
CONTINUE ALONG GENERIC... (slv) road for 100 feet and arrive at your destination.
Its annoying.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the new voice either.
Has anyone else noticed their instructions getting cut off? Usually when I'm using navigation I'm also listening to music over bluetooth. Since getting ICS it seems like the music doesn't get turned off fast enough, and sometimes gets turned back on too soon, so I can't hear if I was supposed to turn onto Cedar Rd, or Cedar Ave or what.
Okay this is getting weird now... I got a third lady in there. Cheerful & Perky. Where the hell did she come from?
Now I get directions from all three.
I just want the original booming robotic lady voice again.
To top it off on my S3, I only have SLV and C&P.
C&P is a step up from SLV but still not as loud as BRV.
C&P sounds exactly like the voice in this Google Search comparision:

You may have a separate issue altogether. Do you have more than one TTS engine installed? If so, you may want to try getting rid of one or two. Check settings under language and keyboards and see if you can disable all then check one to work.

Thanks but nope, that is not it. I haven't installed voice packs. The only thing I can think of is that happened after a Google Maps Update or after the ICS update. All three ladies will speak during Navigation. I swear I'll have to get video of it somehow.

If u want a video of it download screencast from the market, it'll take video of ur screen w/sound, i recomend just using the free version, i paid 5 bucks for the pro and it asks for a license check every 10min

Clear data/uninstall reinstall? After that, I'm out of ideas. Maybe flash AOKP, since it won't let anyone use any voice other than Google TTS.

So after having the Galaxy 3 for a few days I'm very sad to have to return it (have to call Sprint tomorrow) I rely on my phone while rode bicycling using Map my ride to provide me with mileage, time, distance and various other info and I also play music through the stock music player. I use Ivona Voice to announce my tts info through Map My Ride so technically there are 3 apps running simultaneously. Basically what happens is Map My Ride uses Ivona voice to chime in above my music to let me know information after every mile (that's how I have it set).
Well I'm not sure what the issue is but I've went on 2 bike rides and on both my music stopped playing and Map My Ride would also not verbally announce my information after a few songs/miles. After my first ride I wasn't getting any sound through either the external or earpiece speaker. Finally I tried to make a phone call and after that both the earpiece and external speaker started working.
But I also found another glitch after my second time out on my bike using this phone. The gps seems to have issues. At the end of my ride I went to pick up my phone and found out that I lost all of my riding information because Map My Ride stops recording if the gps signal is lost.
Here's the interesting thing. I've never had any of these issues on my previous Evo 3d including loosing GPS signal during my normal bike route. This is NOT to say that HTC is better or Samsung sucks or anything like that. I'm just frustrated that the Galaxy can't seem to handle running Music and a GPS app simultaneously.
Oh and I've noticed that my wifi doesn't always turn on on the first try. I have to turn it on, then off, then on again sometimes to enable it.
Anyone else have any of these issues?
I'm haven't bothered rooting yet and have have everything up to date so I'm guessing either I have a faulty device or there are still a lot of bugs to be worked out. Either way it sucks because this phone is awesome and I hate to revert back to my older technology. :crying:
EDIT: I have worked out my issues and keeping this beast.

Id try a modem update or prl update i have yey to lose gps
Thanks. I actually figured out the problem with my music stopping. Evidently Ivona Voice text to speech is causing some sort of glitch causing my music to stop after it announces my info through Map My Ride. When I use Samsung factory text to speech program my music pauses while my info is being read then starts back up as it is supposed to.
I am going to try gps again and see of that is worked out now. Love the phone just not the bugs

Anyone notice any lagging in capacitive back button sometimes? I notice that it doesnt always respond to first press.

Why is that?
Well if you were asking about the lag is on the home key, that's partly due to the samsung overlay, the hesitation is it waiting to see if you're trying to access S-Voice instead of heading home. Not sure about the back button though
there is a longer thread somewhere around here about that, maybe the tips and tricks one?
I just keep my capacitive lighting always on.....the only problem i have is the 3g data speed. Every now n then ill get fast speedz and then i get really slow speeds. Guess its the location im at dunno.......when i got the gs3 the data speeds were really slow so i immediately got msl code n did the data hack and that seems to work a lil

Yeah I was referring to back button. I think it depends on how big of an app you're trying to close lately. I'm all problem just anal and impatient lol. I

That's not a bad idea at all. I think that's why I have to press them multiple times sometimes, but because I can't always see them so I miss them.
Edit: I just extended the light time on the capacitive buttons and that seems to do the trick. I never knew you could change light time on them. Thanks for the tip.

Here is my problem that I just noticed.
When I try to play a video (doesn't matter if it's a movie, or something that I record), the player is "stuck". It will not play it. Now, if I hit the "floating" screen, it starts playing without any problem, but if I put it back to full screen, it freezes again (like the "Pause" button is always on).
It happens with MX Player too.....
Any ideea what I might have done wrong?
Thanks for any suggestions.
EDIT: I did a wipe for Cache and Dalvik and fix permissions...no luck.
EDIT 2: I forgot to tell you that I'm on Stock and Rooted.
Another issue I just noticed is, the Power button is not turning
the phone off, even if I keep it pressed for 4-5 min.
I fixed it myself! But, because you didn't want to help, I'm not gon'a
tell you how I fixed it!
So there!!!!

You got to give us time to respond. After all we are not the Samsung support team as a job. We are people with different jobs and life, like spouse, children, traveling, working,, chores, cleaning, eating, fixing, enjoying media, hobbies, etc...

I was just kidding man. .lol
It was the Nova launcher. I re flashed my backup and all was good, but when I installed Nova again, it was doing it again. A quick change to Touch Wizz and back to Nova fixed it. I have no idea why it's doing that the first time you install Nova, but now we know how to fix it.

So I know there's some issues with the sound on the Nexus 7 when the volumes are low.
But haven't read about anyone having issues like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nhy4sdjDXY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
This happens every couple of minutes, some shorter, some longer, when playing videos and broken sword ( only game it happends ).
Rooted using CM11, been happening for a long time. Haven't tried a complete wipe, thought I would ask here first for any opinions.
Yeah I had that. Flashing Glitch kernel seems to have fixed it.

Nice, 30 minutes of YouTube played, no screams from the speaker yet. Makes me wish I didn't sit on my finger for 4 months before taking actions, Darwin knows I've been startled many times when watching videos late night.
Thanks.
Flashed Feb update the day it came out.
Rooted but stock in all other aspects.
Last night I noticed that when watching something on YT if a notification popped off with an audible tone it killed the audio on YT without a way to recover.
Volume sliders were ineffective in restoring the audio feed.
Video feed continued as if nothing was wrong.
Sometimes closing the video and reopening resolved the issue.
Otherwise closing the app and reopening was the solution.
Having notifications muted or set to vibrate did not result in the same behavior.
Has anyone else had the same experience?
thanks
I read someplace that I believe this is a new feature....that way videos dont start blaring out from your phone when your not ready for it. Personally I like it....

I think you misunderstood.
Video volume is permanently muted once a notification goes off because I received a text.
