Hi Guys, I have a G3 (D85510L) 4.4.2 unrooted and running Next launcher. The problem I have is when I play music with
the screen off, when I unlock the phone the music STOPS coming out of the speakers or headphones, bluetooth or
wired but the player is still running, so I then have to unlock the screen and then press the volume up or down just
once to get the sound back again if you go into the sound setting on the phone the media bar is at whatever it was at
before I unlocked it. Even if I stop the player and then start it again still NO sound :crying: .
Things I have tried,
Reset the phone 3 times but each time I do it works fine for about 3 days and then
the problem starts again :crying:.
Gone through all my apps but can't see anything that would cause it, apart from Google now and Commandr for Google
now, I have been in the settings and uninstalled them and tried again but just the same.
Also the Voice Mate app I tried the settings (I can't disable it) but again it was no good :crying:.
Tried some audio manager apps, no good :crying:.
I have used the stock player and PowerAmp Player but again no good :crying:.
Changed the lock screen from swipe, Knock, password and pin but still no good, BUT it will work fine if there
is NO lock screen set :crying:.
I have no idea so any help will be very welcomed :fingers-crossed:.

I'm having trouble understanding your problem. Does the music pause when you open your phone or does it just mute? And calm down with the emojis bro lol
Hi many thanks for your reply, well to be honest with you I don't know if its muting as I would not know how to do that. What happens is the music just stops coming out no sound but the player keeps going and even if I stop the player and start it again still no sound and the only way to get the sound back is to press the volume up or down.
But I was going to update this morning as I have found out what the problem is, it my flash light app (tinyflashlight by Nikolay Ananiev) from the play store I have had it for years.
As I said I have only had my G3 for about 4 weeks but this time when I was setting it up I turned on the voice activation on the torch app for the first time, so when I turn on the lock screen and you say "torch" it turns the torch on, and that was what the issue was.
So posted the reply just in case anybody else has the same problem.
ps. sorry about the smilies I was on a downer, but now I'm not life's great

Ye you never want to be the guy who uses too many smilies. It just looks weird after a certain point. And for future reference anything that affects the lock screen will most likely affect your music players performance on the lock screen. So if you run into any more similar problems check if you got any apps that affect the lockscreen recently.

I've encountered a strange problem lately. Within the last few days, my music apps seems to start playing on their own. This does not seem to be related to putting in or removing headphones, as I have not used any headphones for quite some time. Rather, it seems to happen after I perform certain functions on the phone.
For example, it happens whenever I use Astro to move or delete a file. Immediately after performing the cut or copy, the music starts. It has also happened after I disable bluetooth and/or turn of the screen.
What's strange is that it is not always the same music player which opens. Sometimes its HTCMusic and sometimes its DoubleTwist. As an experiment, I tried freezing HTCMusic with TitaniumBackup and then installing the AOSP music app from CM6. Same result.
I'm using Calukin's ROM, but have been for several weeks without issue so I don't believe that is the cause.
Any ideas as to what might be going on here?
Bump. Really need help figuring this out. Late last night, my Evo was tucked away for bed in its charger. All of the sudden, the music started blaring again. Nobody touched it. In fact, my family was all asleep when it happened and it woke up my kids. Thinking I'm just going to have to start over with a new ROM if there's no answer.
What's odd is that whenever the music starts, I will open the music app to kill it and the app doesn't know it is playing right away. In other words, the play button is displayed, rather than the pause button. To kill the music, I have to hit play, then pause.
I assume you're not running any tasker profile or other program related to running sound based on a condition?
Have you explored the possibility you have a music-loving ghost living in your home?
There is a bug where sometimes a random song off your memory card gets used for a notification sound, you may want to check those out. Last time I did an OTA update it changed my facebook notification to baby got back and the only way I could get it to stop playing was to mute or reset my phone lol
Alright, I've spent all day searching and can't find a clear answer for what I'm looking for.
Just last night my keyboard and lock sounds are very quiet, now I've seen others with this issue, but I haven't seen anyone explain why this happens or how to fix it.
So does anyone know how to fix this, or have I missed it in my searching?
lolwut. Are you talking about the audio output from the keyboarD? Like when you type it makes that noise, and now that noise is quiet? I think its tied into your general phone sound level. Check your settings under menu-settings-language & keyboard-touch input
Yea, all sound levels are at max and the other sounds ( ringer, text, emails, ect...) still play at proper level. But the keyboard clicks when typing and the screen lock/unlock sound is still there, but just barely making any noise
nobody's got anything?
also last night to took my friend's evo and his is doing the same thing, he said he noticed it soon after the 3.70 update
This just happened to me. I fixed it with a hard reset of the phone. I had to reload the few apps I had and sync my google calendar and contacts. Back in business. Have no idea why it happened in the first place, but they are working now.
i have to say, i never really liked the hard reset idea so i never did it. today i let the battery run until it shut off the phone, i then pulled the battery, put it back in and then charged it full before turning the phone back on. and now my clicks have returned
I know hat there is already a thread about this, and i posted there something that i tought it resolved the issue, but in fact it did not.
When i'm playing music outside of the google play music and press pause, either trough the status bar or the widget, sometimes the status bar controls stay there, which is what i want since sometimes you just want to pause the music for a couple of seconds, but most of the time they just vanish and i have to go to the music player to contiue the song.
This happened on CM9 and now i'm back to stock 4.0.4 and the issue still persists.
Does anybody know a fix for this?
I haven't had the controls vanish while using the phone but it gets closed pretty quickly by the system when your phone is in standby. I think it's because the player is holding a wake lock which would drain your battery if you'd forget the player is still on pause.
I use the widget as a workaround to quickly start the music again since it remembers the last song and position.
Yes! They go away once you enter the play music app. I know its a drag, but I get used to it now

Thanks for the responses, i know that when you are on the music app it goes away and that i could hold wake lock and drain the batery, but that is useful when you going to see a video for example or respond to e-mail and want to concentrate, them you could pause the music, do whatever you gotta do and then play the music without ever leaving to the home screen.
Does anyone knows how to resolve this? bump...
Suck it up and make the extra clicks? Another case of everything is amazing nobody is happy.
bow chicka wow wow.

Same applies with the lock screen controls - when you pause, quite often the controls will mysteriously vanish and leave you having to wade back into the music app (which is quite a pain). Wonder if it's a memory management issue - i.e. if the music app is no longer playing, we can recycle it
Oh, as for your comment - if you can't post anything helpful, best to leave this to the big boys

Hey man first thanks for your comment, this guy just seems to be troling a lot of post lately.
And yes sometimes it vanishes from the lock screen, the thing that is really bothering me is the fact that there is no consistency, so i can never be sure if the controls will be there or not
use the cm9 player it has a option to keep notification on pause.
Hey tks for the reply, i am on stock 4.0.4 for a few weaks, i was running cm9 but it seems that they will never put a beta so a went back to stock, how can i get their player? also does it sync with google music?
Get from the cm9 site. I'm also using dsp manager.

Just wondering if this was a common occurance? When my phone is on a lower volume at work, I've noticed when I get messages the notification sound doesn't always play. The phone still vibrates and I've made sure its loud enough to hear, it just doesn't play until I restart the phone.
Anyone else getting this?
Currently everything is stock apart from using Nova launcher. (haven't had it long enough to start playing with ROMs )
ive noticed this sometimes, but i think changing it from the message/emails settings will fix the issue
Hey all,
I have an annoying issue since the Pie update and wondering if anyone else has the same problem and knows a fix. So, since the Pie update I have noticed that whenever listening to audio (doesn't matter what app) using a 3.5mm set of headphones or AUX in my car that when I do any task on the phone such as unlock the screen, lock the screen, press the home button, open the app drawer, close the app drawer, slide the notifications pane down, basically anything I get a very quick stutter in the audio. It is very annoying and I cannot figure out why it's doing it. Is anyone else experiencing this since the Pie update? It never did it prior to Pie. Thanks guys.

I noticed that but it was caused by my bluetooth trying to connect to the radio.. In my AMG GT R I keep getting the stuttering too but it seems to stop when I turn the bluetooth off. The radio actually wasn't even connected to the bluetooth at the moment which I thought was weird and kind of confused me but then I realized that I had my obd scanner plugged in because I was doing some pulls and checking out some of the sensors, fuel trims and the boost so I don't know if it was from that being connected or what but it still caused the music to stutter. I'm planning on going back to Oreo anyway all this sh!t isn't worth this trouble just for Pie..

That's weird then.. I can't stand pie.
No issues with using the audio jack on my phone. Though I did do a factory reset after I got pie, that helped a lot of minor issues.

What else don't you like about it? The only thing for me is that I have to manually set my Notifications to My Phone instead of my bluetooth every time I connect it. That one is just stupid. Most people don't go through the day with their BT Ear Buds stuck in their ears all the time

Well the one thing I used my phone for the most was music during workouts and jogs and I used to only have to turn the music only half way up but it's like a whisper at half way up now and the further I turn it up the worse the sound gets and then like one or 2 steps before maximum volume it just cuts out completely no sound and the bluetooth sounds like crap in the car now it's actually better if I just put the music in the cars radio storage instead. The phones battery also doesn't seem to make it the entire day anymore and it did before the update. I also have to keep going into settings and changing the default USB connection setting otherwise it doesn't like connecting to the computer anymore unless I switch it from MTP to charging and back again. I suppose a factory reset would fix most of the issues maybe but I have no interest in doing that and having to re-set everything back up. Oh and the notification problem you have I have also and yeah that one's unbelievably stupid!!

You might want to try that Reset, because my volume is really good and even going past the volume warning, it stays clear. I don't have bluetooth in my Truck so I Can't test that one, but I will agree battery is worse. I whole day without charging at work - I use my phone for work, btw, and I'm down to about 35%. On Oreo I'd be closer to 50%. And the computer connect, I don't have to change MTP, but I DO have to toggle Debugging on and off most times

You know what else I noticed since you said something about the volume warning? I don't get that warning anymore either. Not even after a reboot because I have the phone set up to reboot itself 4 times a week at 4am in the morning. Is that volume warning still even on the phones anymore?
I still get the volume warning on Bluetooth at least.

I still get it after a reboot or connecting to a different device, like from my BT to my surround system.
Maybe you should try to flash it again?? Clear and backup everything, do a factory reeset, then flash it
