[Q] No Sound? - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just got my G Pad on Saturday and everything was fine - until earlier today. Suddenly, my sound has stopped working. It won't play through speakers nor will it play through my headphones. I know that they are compatible as they start and stop fine. All of my sounds are on high and max, so I definately have turned them on.
Is it time for me to return this G Pad and go back to Apple? Or is this a known problem?

Music app pauses itself randomly

Hi guys,
Got a really frustrating issue - my music pauses itself randomly. Seems to happen mostly after 10 mins of listening or so but has happened at other random times too.
This morning on the tube to work it paused as usual and when I went to the Google Music app I noticed it still looked as though it was playing - as in, the pause button was showing rather than the play one. But tapping it did nothing. Also noticed that the little headphones icon in the notification window had disappeared. It then reappeared and the app played as usual again. Doesn't tend to happen after the first pause.
Any ideas?
People mentioning it for other phones but no solutions

Man I had this issue on my GS2. Haven't experienced it on the Nexus yet.
When you're in the tube, try a journey with airplane mode on and see if it happens?
Could also be a problem with the jack.
Try HeadsetBlocker from Market. Some phones don't like (only) Headphones and think its a Headset with microfone. And sometimes they think you pushed a button on Headset and get confused (play, pause, forward, .......).
Had the same problem with my DHD and after installing and activating HeadsetBlocker everything was fine.

Cool thanks guys going to try a test with it on airplane mode first then give headset blocker a try.
Seems quite a widespread problem as reported here

So going to remove the Listen app and give that a go too.
I tried using Winamp instead but as soon as I turn my screen off it runs like an absolute dog - stuttering all over the place. Nightmare.
Are you using standard headphones, a third party headset or the ones that came with it?
I was listening to music yesterday and today on the tube using my Ultimate Ears - which is a headset with one button and didn't have any problems at all.

Pandora Stops Playing

Hi Guys,
I am not sure if my problem lies with my phone or the 360. My Pandora will just stop playing and be unable to load the next song (just the album artwork). I am using it with a Nexus 5 running CM11.
I'm no pro, but that sure sounds like a phone issue to me. The only possible connection between Pandora and the 360 is that they can both use Bluetooth... Unfortunately you can't manage Pandora through the watch, yet.

[Q] Bluetooth audio skips/stutters

Hi! I wanted to post about an issue with bluetooth audio i've had since ever, but now i'm using it a lot so i want to try and solve it. I used to use stock and just converted to GPE. In both cases, the same problem happens: When i connect my phone to my car speakers through bluetooth, every song stutters for a second or two, sometimes several times in the same song. By searching on the forum the only tip i found was change the read ahead value. I tried a bunch of higher values, none of them worked.
I can say that the car bluetooth works fine with an iphone, so i have no reasons to blame it on the car audio.
And of course, there's no problem when i'm playing through the phone's speakers or headphones.
UPDATE: Forgot, something else happens with music: Sometimes it sorts of goes into a higher pitch, like a higher tone or something. And makes music sound weird. this happens occasionally as well.
Thanks in advance for the help
Mine does this too, with calls as well. Very frustrating....

So i guess no one really knows anything on how to fix this. :c

Bluetooth headphones weird behavior

Hi guys, here is the problem that for some reason popped just recently, started maybe 2 weeks ago or so. I'm using Jay bird blue buds x as my main wireless headphones with my tab s. Everything was working fine but now whenever I connect the headphones and either start listening to music, music player or Google play music, or listen to a video clip, be it from YouTube, gallery or Google play video, the headphones cut out after 30-60 seconds. Now I did test the headphones with other tablet, an Asus one, and with my audio setup I use with my pc and I can use them without any problems for hours at a time. Which kinda led me to a conclusion that it's not the headphones but the tab itself. Now my question is, did anyone experience something similar? Any chance it's a Bluetooth driver mixup of some sorts that came with most recent tab update? Any help would be appreciated. I'm running complete stock with the most recent update, with just a couple of apps "turned off" in application section.
Jaybirds work with stock and skyhigh kernel.

Well, my Samsung HS3000 Bluetooth headphones work w/o a problem, but I just encountered an issue with a bluetooth gamepad I bought. It started to lag every 30s - 2 minutes for like 10 seconds and than worked normally again. On the Nexus 7 of my girlfriend it worked for hours w/o a problem. I ended up factory resetting and updating to a newer firmware only to find out (just now) that one of my apps with accessibility access is responsible, probably Tasker or some of its modules / plugins.
Since your issue sounds a bit similar, you might want to investigate in that direction.

Sounds like you might be right, tho I am not using Tasker atm. I'm thinking maybe it's one of the apps I turned off.

LG G8 Sound issue

I'm on my third LG G8 that I got here in Dallas from T-Mobile. All three phones have been acting the same way. I've even talked to LG Technical Support and they're clueless.
Music stops playing on the phone randomly. Videos on the preinstalled YouTube app play in slow motion with no sound.
I've rebooted the phone and sometimes the problem goes away and sometimes no. LG tech support told me how to put the phone in safe mode and using the built in music app, music plays. I can then switch back to regular mode and music plays again until it doesn't. On the first LG G8 I had, I reset it back to factory defaults to clear out the problem but it came back again. And then I reset it again without loading any of my apps but the issue returned. I showed the problem to T-Mobile store reps and they agreed with me that the phone was malfunctioning. I had to mail my phone in to T-Mobile because of the way I purchased it. I got an exchange. They let me buy a temporary LG G8 in that store until I got a replacement. That LG G8 also quit playing music randomly just like the first phone. I returned that phone after my replacement LG G8 showed up but this one is behaving the same way. LG wants me to send the phone in for repair. I'm reluctant.
Usually the problem starts after the phone has been connected to a Bluetooth device; headset or my car stereo. After disconnecting the device, the problem doesn't go away. Other phone "noises" won't come back either. I can avoid the problem in my car by connecting it to my stereo's USB cable and Android Auto kicks in. But even after disconnecting, the problem is still present.
Hopefully it's an isolated incident and doesn't affect all phones as I've just purchased an US T-Mobile version.
Did you try using 3rd party apps to see if the issue persists? Maybe it's just the stock Music player app that is glitched out.

I've thought about that. I like to play Hill Climb 2 {Stunticons team} and sometimes the game will give you a freebe by watching a video ad. And I've noticed when my sound is screwed up, the video ad plays in super slow motion just like videos in Youtube and there's no sound.

I have wondered if my phone is coming from a bad batch from my local T-Mobile warehouse. I've owned the LG G6 and G7 and I had no major issues like what I'm dealing with now. Today was a good day and the sound gave me no trouble.
I'm really sorry this is happening to you, LG should do more to help. It seems isolated, my Tmo G8 works as expected, aside from what I believe are Pie related frame rate issues.
Does it happen only with streaming, or also with locally saved files? Are you always using Bluetooth for the sound? Not that I can help fix it, just very curious what's causing it.
I do notice that when my phone connects to my car stereo's Bluetooth that's when my trouble begins but it doesn't go away after disconnecting. I noticed today it happened when one of my hi-res songs started to play.
This is really interesting as I am about to return mine to LG. My phone will lose it's ability to use the hearing "speaker" against my ear..and get this...it happens only after I have connected to my car bluetooth. I factory reset, all is well, and the first time I use my car bluetooth it happens again and it stays. I have a phone that I cannot use without either speakerphone or a bluetooth device in order to hear whom I am talking to. I like this phone and want it to work out, but......I hope LG makes good on the warranty! BTW, I have T-Mobile and bought the phone outright from Amazon separately.
On my T-Mobile (unlocked and using a different provider) G8, I have issues with both the native music app and Amazon unlimited online streaming. Both will randomly play the first song again from the beginning of a shuffled list. Happens randomly and repeatedly. Most often after like 4-7 songs in the player will start from beginning, and it happens with both Bluetooth and headphones. Any ideas? Running 9 with October 2019 security update.
