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.

Hi guys. I'm using a stock unrooted One X. It has been running jelly bean since december but a bug came up since a few weeks ago. When I play a song on the stock music player, it would play for less than 10 seconds then it would fast forward or skip to the next song and the bug would happen all over again. This has gotten to the point where its impossible for me to listen to music without feeling very annoyed. This problem doesn't seem to occur when I play the music through the speaker so I'm guessing Beats Audio is causing this. Just a guess though. Anyway I've tried a bunch of things to solve the problem but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried to clear data of music app ?
Yes I did. I also installed Poweramp and the problem happens there too.
The weird thing about this bug is that it doesn't happen every time. I was listening to music for about 2 hours today and everything was fine. But I'm sure it will happen again.

Well, the only thing that's getting in my mind is to make factory reset.
did you try listening to music with beats audio turned off? that may help narrow down the problem...
I have noticed since I upgraded from GS3 to Note 3 that when I am streaming music to my car stereo the audio will skip or stutter. The song continues to play but the audio cuts out for anywhere up to a second or two. Has anyone else seen this or resolved it?
I have seen some posts that say turning off WiFi fixed it but I still get the skip, if a little less frequently with WiFi turned off.
It seems to go away if I set the developer options to keep the screen awake while charging. So it seems like the CPU clock may be too low during sleep to maintain everything else it is doing as well as audio streaming.
Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
This happens to me too sometimes. It seems worse when I first start streaming & then it calms down a bit. But it still occasionally skips. I experienced this on my note 2 as well though, so I don't think its an exclusive issue to the N3.
This is happening 4 or 5 times per song, so it is quite annoying LOL

Stock ROM? Stock Kernel? Need more info from both of you.
Sounds like the CPU might be dropping too low when the screen is off, causing the stuttering. You could try a custom kernel with a higher screen off frequency.
Used to happen on my S2 and this was the problem...

Full stock, I believe that is the problem as it is pretty much resolved when I leave the screen on. Still testing this here and there to be sure.
This has happened to me on every rom & kernel I've tried. Which is pretty much all of them for the N3, and everything from stock to CM on the N2.

I have the same problem on my GN3 international version and yes leaving the screen on WILL solve it. However, that's not a practical solution.
Try this, download Poweramp, go into settings, audio, advanced tweaks, set the audio buffer size to Large (+250ms) and audio thread priority to +2
See if that works for you. If it does, then buy the full version even though I like the timbre effect and bass on the stock music player but this is the only solution, so far.

What headunit? I run Kenwood KDC-X995, and never had an issue with it cutting out. THe headunit wouldn't display track info though. The way I fixed this is connecting via the Stock Samsung media player., Everything has been a dream since
I had this problem and it just went away after a few reboots and some time. ..

Just contributing to the list.

BTW, what player are y'all using? In power amp there is an option for keep service awake if music.stops while.playing with screen off. And there is also option to use a wake lock also. I am not having any problems nor have I ever so I can't help. The only other suggestion I have is maybe your radio Bluetooth sucks. I went through a period of testing many Bluetooth headset and receivers a couple years ago. Needed something good to listen to my music while I rode my bike. Many of the Bluetooth I tested were very sensitive to the bumps and vibration while riding hard on my mountain bike. The only solution for those were to put receiver right next to my phone. Being in my pocket was too far away or something. I ended up sticking with Sony mw600 as all purpose. It could take any headset, and I was able to use it as a receiver in my truck as it didn't have Bluetooth. Now I also have a Honda civic with built in Bluetooth and all is well. My Sony mw600 oled stopped working though so in on lookout for a nice apt x receiver.

I am using a Sony DSX-S300BTX and have had no previous issues with my HTC Sensation 4G or my Galaxy S3. It only started when I got my Note 3. I use Google Play Music with the All Access service.
Just an update on this. Over the weekend I did a factory reset and this time I did not let it restore settings and apps from my Google account. I went through and installed all the same apps i was using before. And so far I have only noticed 1 stutter/cut out since then. And if I am correct, this only happened when I was leaving my house and it switched from Wifi to 4G LTE on the stream.
Will continue to monitor and see if the issue comes back. But so far I am rather happy.

Trying this recommended app/setting combination, and hope that the skipping stops on the A2DP connection in the car. *crosses fingers*

I came from the Note 2 to the Note 3 and I'm fearing that it's 4.3 that is causing the bluetooth intermittent issue. Whether or not I stream from Pandora or my music player, I get the stutter. Doesn't matter what ROM I use between hyperdrive and beans too. Someone said it could be the adblock that is causing the stutter but I don't have that installed at all. Getting pretty frustrating.
Ended up not working for me,...but keeping the screen on did seem to eliminate the skipping.
Wonder if there's anyway to force Bluetooth not to sleep,....

I ONLY get the stutter when using the stock music player. It never happens when using, for example, TuneIn Radio.
I exchanged 2 Note 3's. The first one had the stutter problem so I returned it. The second one had NO stutter problems but overheated from time to time, exchanged as well. The third one doesn't over heat but, unfortunately, has the stutter problem. So, I just gave up. The PowerAmp solution works for me, though.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you.
Someone mentioned increasing the minimum CPU frequency and that would solve it. Try upping it to 400Mhz see what happens but this will definitely drain your battery more than usual.

The same thing happened to me on the note 2.... actually the n3 isn't as bad as the n2 was. Fwiw
sent from my ??????? note 3?
SO I have started to notice that it isn't actually the stream stuttering, but a short disconnect of the bluetooth. I noticed that when the music cuts out, it also drops the media connection to my car stereo, in that the artist and song title disappear until the connection comes back. Seems like a bad bluetooth stack or something as I tested a Nexus 5 and do not have this issue at all. And I never had a problem on my GS3.
Hopefully the 4.4.2 update will resolve this issue. Whenever that may be...
I have this problem as well, (stock rom rooted, stock kernel) I use power amp. now however I cant stream my music through bluetooth at all, but when a call comes in, it streams. Doing a little digging into my phone, my N3 seems to think im in a call, and only plays my music through the speaker for your ear. it only started a few hours ago. even when I am not connected to bluetooth, it still plays music through the same speaker. tried uninstall reinstall. I did update apps earlier when I got home (ove wifi). once they were done, that seems to be when this issue started.
any help/suggestions?
Hello I know this is a website for moding phones, which I plan to eventually do however My Xperia ZL is on the stock ROM atm and is 4.4.2 OS. I am having two problems and would like help deciding if it is software or hardware related. First my device will randomly turn itself off and restart from once to 40 plus times whenever I restart my phone. Once it finally stops restarting though, usually after 3 days max it works fine until I restart it again it will not restart on me if i am talking on it or using it. I also have an audio playback problem that occurs in both streamed songs from pandora and using the walkman or google apps on the phone. Both through headphones and the external speaker the audio will cut out and a screech or some other noise will come out and then the song will continue again. Any assistance will be appreciated thanks.
Hey, there seems to be mixture of hardware and software problems. To isolate the issue, have you tried doing a Factory Reset ?

FACTORY RESET it.
Hello guys.
Phone is rooted to recent MOAR rom. Recently I have been having an issue when connected to my bluetooth JamBox the bluetooth cuts out after the song and plays out of the phone for the first 10 seconds before reconnecting. An error message that says Unfortunately bluetooth sharing has stopped.
This is an isolated issue to my phone as others can connect to it and play continuously without issue.
I have tried to clear data on my bluetooth files in titanium backup , even installed and tried BLE crash resolver to no avail.
Anyone have any fixes for this?
TIA guys
please...
okay...so I wiped all data and reinstalled teh moar rom I had on. Now... I can get the bluetooth to play thorugh the speake.r... ok
before the reflash.. I would play on spotify and would get the error that bluetooth share stopped. the sound would cut out and play through phone for first 10 secs and then pick up through bluetooth speaker.
Now...at end of song the same error pops up but there is no cut out of sound. Next song keeps playing fine.....BUT if I try to fast forward it will temporarily cut out sound to phone and go back to speaker. Please help.
There are two probabilities!
1. It can be a BUG in the ROM
2. Or else your JamBox must have some kind of problem.
Try the same thing with your stock ROM. If everything works fine then its a BUG in MOAR ROM.
You can connect to the developer and give him bug report, he'll probably solve it in his next version.
If Bluetooth still disconnects on stock ROM then its a JamBox problem. You need to replace it.

well...I had been using this rom for atleast 6 months no issues. Now I can use pandora just fine no issues and music stored on sd card. . MY wife with same phone regular stock can play the spotify just fine...no issues. so why is my phone and spotify having an issue especially since i relfashed...?
Try to clean flash ROM.
It'll probably help you.
I did clean flash. Still won't work right
OKay.. so I found a nandroid backup on my phone I made. The wicked S5 experience one that had an old spotify version installed. Surprisingly the spotify played without error. So I backed up the spotify in TB and then reflashed MOAR. I restored the old spotify and it is working still on this rom as well. The latest version of spotify is what was giving it issues. I'm hesitant to download the new version of spotify from the playstore and give that a go. Weird issue though. My wife has the same phone (stock though is the only difference) and the latest version of spotify and hers plays fine through JamBox.
So I did end up installing spotify from the app store and the same version that wouldn't work previously now works. I must have fubared something in the operating system files or whatever is responsible for spotify and Bluetooth.
