I just received my Epic 4G Touch on Friday, and I'm experiencing an issue where notification sounds will always be played through the phone speaker even though I have headphones plugged in. I am using the stock ROM, and this behavior is happening rooted or unrooted (I just rooted this morning).
Here are the different scenarios where I always have this happen now.
- Listening to a podcast through Pocketcasts with my phone directly connected to my car stereo system via headphone jack. Podcast is playing through the car speakers just fine. I will receive a gtalk chat, and the podcast is silenced briefly to play the notification sound, however the notification sound will be played from the phone speaker.
- Listening to music through the Google Music app with headphones at the gym. I'll be using the C25K app to send a verbal notification for when to run or walk. It plays through the phone speaker and alerts the whole gym. =\
- And then I just tested it right now. With literally NOTHING playing in the background but with a pair of headphones plugged in. I sent myself a gtalk message from an alternate account, and it plays the gtalk notification sound through the phone speaker.
I upgraded from an HTC EVO 4G, so this is obviously bizarre behavior and not a problem I experienced with my previous phone. It worked properly.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Not sure what is kosher behavior here on the forums, but since this thread hadn't gotten a response yet and had fallen to the second page, I just wanted to give it a little bump back up.
Hopefully others can at least confirm whether or not they are also experiencing this problem.
I actually used to experience this with my Epic 4G
and I literally just tested it (the way you did, with just the headphones in) on my ET4G and yup, I get the same thing
Also, on my Epic 4G, my music would stop playing if 1. my ringer volume was NOT on silent/vibrate and 2. when I got a notification
so I'm more than sure my ET4G does it as well
I have not utilized the new voice features on the ET4G, so I can't comment on that
I don't know if this is a flawed or purposed design, but you are not alone, lol
*I don't know if there are any fixes for it. only thing I could imagine would be some kind of custom rom
has there been any fix for this?
Music + Headphone + Notification = Angry Coworkers
I need to bump this question up (instead of reposting the question). This has annoyed me for a while, but today I was blasting my music with my headphones on, then suddenly I got a meeting reminder. Playing the notification over the speakerphone is one thing, but when the notification is played via the phone's speaker, it also blasts my music via the phone speaker throughout the duration of the notification too!
The only resolution I see for now is to put the phone on silent whenever you want to listen to music via your headset, otherwise if you get a notification, people will get a loud blast of Lenny Kravitz.
Does anyone know if this happens with the more popular custom roms? I'm currently stock. Thanks!
I have this issue also, the silent mode only works sometimes for some reason
Bought a Desire HD I rooted the phone with ace hack kit,whole procedure,downgrade root and all,everything went perfect. Didnt wanna flash a newer radio,cuz everything worked fine with any rom i flashed. I flashed it so far like 50 times,going back and forth with Erebus,Energy,SmartDroid, Android Revolution, Coredroid,etc.. after some weeks first time i plugged in my earphones,and trust me i have 3 pairs,all HTC all working. I get no sound at all on them,except some crackling and loud clicks. It is the same with every rom. When i plug them in,phone detects the earphones and puts out the icon of the phones,but no sound. When i try play music,or especially when i move the volume sliders in settings,the sliders quick freeze bit and give me these loud crackle sounds in the phones. Tried newest radio,no changes. Everything else works perfectly with the phone. if anyone can help with some idea,or at least help me convince that its hardware related and that i cant do a damn thing about it Worst is,i didnt try the phones BEFORE rooting :S cuz i rooted and flashed the phone like one hour after buying it
Thanks in advance for any help or idea,i searched and searched and couldnt find any answer yet
Sounds work ok without headphones?
How does the YouTube app sound?
If it's the same on every rom its probably hardware or a bad flash of something.
It's stupid but try this
Turn up the volume when the headphones are plugged in, work?
Turn off the phone and remove the batt for a few mins. It's important to remove the batt.
Work? Only solutions i can offer
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Thanks for the suggestions.
Nothing of the above steps changed anything.
Youtube player works fine,tried it the first time now.
Without headphones everything works perfect.
When i turn up the volume while having headphones plugged in,i get these crackling clicking noises, when i move the sliders in the sound volume settings left right,i get these short freezes and crackle sounds
removing battery ( 5 minutes and more ) also changed nothing
Before every flash i do full wipe of everything,sometimes even 2 times (paranoia hm)
So basically,same thing on 5 different roms,fresh flashed or filled with apps to the max,and even without sd card or sim card
Right we'll start the process....
Can you force close some apps
Twitter
Facebook
Internet
Any others that you can, don't touch the main processes. Just basic apps.
Sound work?
If not, is fast boot on? Try turning that off and do the batt thing again for a few minutes and try again.
i force closed all i could and tried,no change
fastboot is one of the first things i turn off when i flash a new rom
tried both ways now,also again removing battery
but what i realise now,i discovered an artifact i didnt pay attention to (stupid of me)
without headphones sound on the phone speaker works perfect and all
but i realised,when i plug in the headphones,i was so focused on the crackle noises and clicks,that i missed the fact that from the moment when i plug them in (while playing a ringtone or any sound) the phone stops the sound on the speaker for like 1.4 second,and then again you can hear the sound on the phone speaker but very silent when i unplug,the sound gets back to normal loudness crazy
i tried 2 days ago to reverse the root process,with ace hack kit,but the process hanged,thought i bricked it,but brought it back to life everything else works perfect perfect,only this thing not
well,regardless of fixing this or not,i keep this beast,its an amazing device,and cant afford any servicing here,will be just sad not to be able to listen to music and play games enjoying on headphones i still hope its some software related business,and that i eventually find whats wrong
Not really any further information anywhere, I could only find
http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-troubleshooting/headphonejack-problem/
Some solutions say to plug headphones in and turn off phone, remove the batt and then boot.
Other than that, you don't seem to be alone! Might be a software problem with the specific hardware so could be worth posting feedback in the dev thread as only a minority of users are affected.
I think it must be something in the original downgrade that it didn't quite like.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! After suffering with no speaker sound and no phone ringing, relying solely on headphones or vibrate to know a call was coming or an alarm was ringing, I found your post and tried it.
As you can see by my delight ... IT WORKED! :highfive:
Thanks again :victory:
Ok, that's weird.
It seems I'm having a ton of problems lately....
At first I only experienced this in Zombies, Run! but I'm beginning to think it's something else...
Originally, I was out on a walk and had Zombies, Run! going. All of a sudden the music stopped coming out of the earbuds I had on and went out of the speaker when the in app voice announced I had picked up an item. This was the only time I had experienced the issue at first.
Lately I have been playing Angry Birds Star Wars and have had the audio for it turned off... I decided to listen to music. Plugged in my earbuds and went back to playing... When the second song begins playing, the audio switched from my earbuds to my speaker and I can not figure out why.
I've tried googling, and searching on XDA for advise on this issue but I am coming up empty. Has anyone heard of this happening?
EDIT: I should add that after unplugging/ replugging in my earbuds I don't have the problem again... Same for pausing and playing music.. When I do either of those the music goes through my earbuds again. No idea why
Edit again: With the latest Google Play Music app I loaded a playlist without anything else open. Played the song, fast forwarded to close to the end and let it finish.. The next song played over the speaker... This is beyond frustrating..
EDIT Nov-14: After a complete factory restore to an un rooted state, I have not had the problem... I've rooted and flashed a deodexed rom and some tweaks I've had and no problem... After flashing a new feature.xml with a load of tweaks I've started having this happening again. Once in Google Play Music and have not been able to get it to happen again since then, and a few times in Zombies, Run! Not once while in Angry Birds SW though...
Another edit: Now I am getting this bug every single time with each of the mentioned scenarious... The only difference with my ROM is a 4-in-1 reboot mod.... Guess I'll remove some of my mods and see what happens with the audio.. I've tested out an app called SoundAbout as suggested by someone on AndroidCentral.com, but no success.. :\
UPDATE Nov-14: Stock android.policy.jar and feature.xml still producing the issue. Problem does NOT lie with those files.
You know I had this happen last night while I was listening to music in my car. The music just all of a sudden stopped coming through my cars speakers and was coming from the phone. I didn't really have time to see what was going on though. I have my car radio connected to the phone with the 3.5mm line out jack.
We're you using the latest update to Google Play Music? I don't recall having issues like this on the last version or on ICS at all.
Hmmm

I did a complete factory restore.. Wiped everything installed an unrooted jellybean and got my device back to "Normal" state.. So far I have not been able to replicate the issue after rerooting and flashing a deodex'd rom
Okay.... I recently flashed an updated feature.xml with a lot of new tweaks opened up... It occured to me that it could have some sound options that may have caused the problem I am having... So I went back to test if it would happen since I flashed it...
It has... I can get it to happen ONCE... then not again until a reboot..
I was going to check if it really is the feature.xml I'm going to flash a stock copy of it and see how things go, but now I can't get it to happen again... I should be happy about this, but I really want to solve this...
We can't be the only ones who has had this issue before.
Now I am getting this bug every single time with each of the mentioned scenarious... The only difference with my ROM is a 4-in-1 reboot mod.
Factory reset again, "Normal" state for the phone, no root.. Still happening.. I quit.. Going to get a new phone from Sprint.
Flashed CM10 and have not experienced this bug once.. Something must be messed up with touchwiz or something.
I've made some progress with this problem, but nothing that really helps... I've flashed an odex'd copy of LJ7 and I am still having this problem... However if my earphones are plugged in when the phone boots up, I don't have the bug at all... If I unplug and replug them in, then it appears...
I've called Sprint for a replacement device.. I was told they would mail me a new phone and was being transferred to someone in the department who would send it out. That person told me "oh, we can't send you one. You will need to go to the Sprint store who issued you the replacement originally." That Sprint store is 20 miles away.. So I drove out there to just get it taken care of. The guy I spoke to there told me "Oh, we can only give one replacement. You need to call Samsung to get it replaced." Wasted trip...
I called Samsung, and they told me they can not give me a replacement either! But they will allow me to mail my phone to them for repairs. They explained the process and that I would have to pay to ship it. Isn't it nice that I have to pay for a product that is under warranty?
Two Samsung Galaxy S IIIs... Different problems on each.
I'm experiencing the same issue on a stock Rogers SGH-i747M.
Haven't tried using a different audio player yet, but using Google Play Music, every other song plays through the speaker, even when headphones are plugged in. Is extremely annoying when on the train commuting to and from work.
As far as I can tell, the problem started when I updated to Jelly Bean a couple of weeks ago.
Anyone have any ideas?
Tons of folks are having this issue and most seem to center around the new google play app that came down.
It's not hardware as far as anyone can tell, it's a glitch in the matrix somewhere.
After downgrading Google Music to a previous version (one without those obnoxious instant mixes) I have yet to have the proplem present itself with that app.. However I have had the same problem using Zombies Run! which utilizes Samsung's media player.
I think it's somehow connected to TouchWiz. On CM10 I did not face any of these issues at all. Although that is just my guess for now.

Great, thanks! I'll try to find an old version of Google Play Music to sideload.
If it's a system app for you, just go to the play store and choose uninstall. It will only uninstall the updates and leave the version that came with your device."

100% stock/not rooted/completely fresh VZ GSIII phone that's a week old and am seeing the same exact behavior. So far it has only happened with Google Music. I'll try downgrading as well to see if this persists.

Hey guys,
Just got my M8 last week and I love it, but there's one thing so far that has been bugging me. When either playing or streaming music via BT in the car or via headphones at the gym/home, I've noticed that my notification sounds will not come through. Every other android phone (or iphone) that I've owned that I can remember has always attenuated the music for a second to play the notification sound. So far, I have not been able to figure out how to get my M8 to do this. It doesn't even vibrate to let me know I have a text/email/whatever... at best, I'll look down at the phone and the notification light will be blinking.
So, can anyone point me in the right direction to get this feature working again?
Also, FYI - I'm on the stock, rooted ROM with Xposed installed and s-off

I actually like it like , I noticed it right away. I did look around all the phones settings even in the dev section and didn't see any settings to change the behavior.
Mine kinda does the same thing.
It just cuts the music for a second but i believe its because i use PowerAmp.
i'm still aware of getting a notification, just through slience.lol
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.
