Strange video Google now issue - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I have my phone plugged into an audio cable plugged into my car stereo, if I play a video and put the phone down, Google now pops up. It doesn't do this if no cable is plugged in. Anyone got an idea about what is causing this, thanks

Headset shows plugged in

Hello, my phone thinks that the headset is plugged in even though nothing is plugged in. I have tried plugging things in and then taking them out and it is not helping. I am wondering if there is anyway I can totally disable the jack from somewhere in the files of the actual rom. Any help would be useful. Thanks

[Q] Weird audio bug. Lose voice in Maps etc

I have a weird problem. When I plug my phone into my car charger I lose the voice and other alerts in Google Maps and other applications that 'speak' or give alerts. Not entirely. I still get sound in some apps (Tested with Angry Birds for instance). Unplugging the charger it works fine.
So I took it indoors to test on the original charger and cable and also on a USB cable attached to my PC. It worked fine. Hmm. Odd. So I took it back to the car charger and lo and behold it also works fine.
Puzzling.
My only thoughts are when the phone is going from sleep to car charger it causes this bug to surface.
I'm running JJ Hybrid 3.1 at the moment and one of the later ArcKnight kernels.
Anyone else come across this issue and/or have a fix/workaround?

Did u test other kernel/roms?
Not yet no. Just tested again after a long sleep and it's doing the same thing on a USB cable connected to the PC. Guess I will have to try another ROM and kernel after all.
Well I tried changing the kernel from ArcKnight to Radeon but it made no difference. It seems to just randomly cut out when the USB cable is plugged in. A reboot sorts it out for a while. I am wondering if it's some rogue service or the fact I disabled some framework elements using Autostarts. I think all I can do is flash another ROM and run it with minimal apps for a while. I will look into flashing the new stock ICS ROM that just came out.
OK figured out what the problem was. It was the bluetooth connection to my car stereo kicking in (hence why it worked on a charger away from the car). If I was listening to a radio station bluetooth was still enabled and sending audio alerts from the phone to the car stereo so I could not hear them. If I changed to bluetooth audio on the car stereo I could hear them, So it was a simple matter of disabling media audio in the phones bluetooth settings.
I've put this reply in so if anyone else has the same issue they can search for the answer.

Headphones mistaken if plugged when screen off

Hello,
When I plug in my regular headphones/earbuds (Sennheiser CX 150) into the LG G4 (Sprint) when the screen is off, the phone mistakenly thinks I've plugged in a headset/mic combo (the status icon is the headset/mic), even though there is no mic, just earbuds. Annoyingly, the phone also wakes the screen and launches the Voice Mate app. Just because I've plugged in my earbuds while the screen was off.
But when I plug in those earbuds when the screen is already on/awake, the phone correctly recognizes them as headphones (no microphone) and doesn't launch the Voice Mate app, just sits there on whatever screen was displayed, but adds the headphone icon at the top of the screen (as it should for these earbuds).
Anyone know why the phone would do this misbehavior when plugging regular earbuds in while screen is off? As a work-around I've been waking my phone screen before plugging in the earbuds, but I'd prefer to understand why the phone is misbehaving like this when I try to plug in the earbuds when the screen is off?
Can I disable the voice mate launching at least? Almost as if the phone thinks I've done something to initiate that too, upon plugging in the earbuds with screen off.
Same problem in my car
When I plug my car's aux audio cable into the headphone jack of my G4, faiiiil. Same problem - - my " okay, Google" commands fall on deaf ears, because the mic has been silenced. This happens to me whether the screen is black or lit - - and annoyingly, there seems to be no way to change the mic setting manually. Unless someone here can enlighten me? THANKS!
Have a T-Mobile g4 and it works normal with my bose headphones screen on and off. Bluetooth works great. Aux wire used is a griffen flat cable and no issues on playback
I have the same weirdness when I plug in my aux cable in my car - I get the wired headset icon, or some other icon that I don't recognize (it looks like a sideways s with a plug on the end). Sprint version.
The simple-est fix is this .. Plug your usb cord into your computer and your phone at the same time... wait a minute, and then disconnect. It has fixed this issue SEVERAL times on my G4 .. hopefully the simple fix does the trick for you as well
Same issue here. I'm starting to think it's a static electricity thing too? Like, the first time I plug in, it incorrectly classifies it. But if I unplug and try again, it usually works.
Sometimes, when I'm on the USB cable when I try, it works. But I really get bothered by the mischaracterization of earbuds as a headset that launches the voice recognition, so annoying!
So keep monitoring the patterns, see if you can influence it through static discharge/grounding, or screen on/off, angle of audio cable insertion, or whatever. Seems to me like it's not totally 100% predictable though.

Cannot select USB mode

Hey everyone,
Recently I have been having an issue with my G4. When I plug it in USB to either a computer or my car stereo, I do not get the USB icon in the notification bar. When I swipe down there is no USB, so it is stuck in charging mode and I cannot use it to transfer data between my phone and computer, or play music from my phone to my stereo. I get an alert on my computer that something was plugged in, and I get the familiar charging sound when I plug it into my car stereo. It has always worked before, but the last time I remember it working was when I plugged it into my stereo to charge it and selected charge only in the usb connection options. I am running Marshmallow on AT&T.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Scott

Headphone connectivity issue

Hey All,
I just started noticing an issue with my headphone port today.
When I plug my headphones into the port as I normally do, they don't get recognized. I now have to plug it in partially until I see the headset notification icon, and then completely plug it in.
Has anyone encountered this?
