Is anyone else's headphones refusing to work? I will plug them in and for a split second I get some sound then nothing. If unplug them it works just fine. If I restart sometimes they will work again but then stop for no reason.
Seems to be in ANY app that makes sounds, I am running Bugless Beast v.3 and it did it in .4 as well. I have the full root (NAND etc)
I rooted and installed a custom rom within hours of getting the phone so I am not sure if it is something with my hardware or the ROMs I am loading. I haven't seen anyone complain so I am guessing it is just me =(
is it a safe bet youve tried these headphones in other players?
have you tried connecting them to any other sort of speaker system?
I have had this problem. I also have Fresh, Bugless Beast, and EVOlution v8. Can't remember off the top of my head if I've tried the phones in each. Like you said though, if I re-boot, pull them out and plug them back in, or both, they start working again. Weird. The earphones work on my laptop. Hasn't been too much of an issue (doesn't happen all the time) so I've been ignoring it. Besides, the sound quality of the phones I have sucks!! I'm ordering new ones soon and I'm hoping that will resolve the issue. Haven't seen anyone else with this problem so I assumed it was the phones (they were SUPER cheap, like $10).
Yes they work other places and in other systems. They are very expensive headphones so I am certain it isn't the headphones issue.
headphone problem
had that also may be the music app you have on the phone or maybe too many music apps. i had mixzing media player, double twist and the standard music app. i took the mixzing player off and had no issues after that. don't know if this is the answer, but something to look at. hope this helps.
I think other users have found that a normal stereo jack doesn't fit right. I heard there is a small adapter to go from the 3 contact stereo to 4 contact stereo with Mic. I haven't looked for it yet.
It's a female trs to male trrs adapter.

I think that will help.

Headset Blocker.
It has something to do with how the jack seats. The widget nukes the mic function and fixes the problem so now all my headphones / car jacks work.
It blocks the headset / mic function so your normal jacks will work without issue. I have been using it since release day and no more problems. Who uses those wired mic/headsets anymore anyhow.......BLUEHAIRS thats who.

In fact they only show up now as a mic'd headset, after that delay..any ideas?
Fixed: flashed custom rom
-when listen music either on HTC music widget or PowerAmp
- got Gap and silent when using Bluetooth headset
- works fine if direct connect to the ONE X
any idea and fix ???
I've yet to see if this works for bluetooth but had a look at the ROMeOS rom and saw this in the build.prop as monx seams to have fixed the stutter: lpa.decode=true
I've set this in my build.prop and will try through the car bluetooth tomorrow.
To edit build.prop in the system folder you will need root access
thanks , buddy , let me know the result.
Unfortunately made no difference for me, will keep digging though as this is annoying when I have a 40 min commute to work each morning and again back.
Anyone have any idea's?
Edit: this doesn't just happen on the beats setting, turning it off makes no difference.
Anyone have any ideas on any fixes yet?

Have the same stutter issue even after 1.28 update connected with my bluetooth MW600.
Seems the problem is device switching to power conserve core. When i play music in background while running GPS in foreground, iam not getting the stutter.

I have the same bluetooth headset, the MW600 and the stutter makes it unusable. I'm on 1.29 stock now and I got to the point that I don't use my MW600 for listening to music anymore, but just wired Sennheisers.
Have you found a solution yet?

No. Not really
After using MW600 for 2+ yrs without much issues iam thinking to order Sony Smart wireless Headset Pro and see if it makes some difference. But, its not yet available in stock

I read somewhere that some custom ROMs solve music stutter issue. Iam on stock locked and can't comment though.

I was also planning on buying that Sony thing, but then I found my Nokia BH 214 back. It is now charging and when I'm back home I will test it. If it also stutters, I'm not going to buy a new headset, because it's likely to have the same problems, although that Sony is Bluetooth 3.0, which could make a difference.
I'll let you know the results with the Nokia.
I have stutter problem with sennheiser Bluetooth headphones. Am on stock 1.28, and disabling beats doesn't help (although did help on older version)
Music is unlistenable now

I'm running 1.28 & have the same issue with my car kit which is a works supplied Nokia car kit that allows A2DP connections. I'm definitely going to try running the GPS at the same time on my way home from work to see it that fixes it as suggested. I have a usb charger that I plug in so won't be using any extra juice. I'll post back my results.

Sorry for the very late reply, I completely forgot it. Just yet I tested the Nokia BH 214. First my One X couldn't find it, tried for almost 10 minutes. Then I disabled WiFi, just to try, and yes the headset was found. Then I put WiFi back on, but it refused to communicate. Wifi off again, communicating worked. So to say pairing was easy: far from that.
Now the next phase: listening to music. Completely unusable. Very very bad. There's something wrong with output, vocals are washed away and sound like the singer is 100 miles away. While quality isn't an issue with the MW600. But also the gaps. What is also very strange is when the phone is on my desk in line of sight with my headset, the are only a few gaps. But as soon as I put the phone in my pocket, the gaps increase exponentially.
So I think in my case the only thing left is to send the phone back. There must be something wrong with it, my WiFi reception is also very bad. Bluetooth also sucks, so since WiFi and Bluetooth are handled by the same chip, there must be something wrong with it. I really like the phone and sending it back means it's away for 2/3/? weeks, but first I hoped it was something with the software but that hope is fading away.
--------edit: just pissed of by all this. Called HTC and I'm sending it back for repair. Nice phone, but basics like WiFi and Bluetooth must work and they don't. They said it will be back in 7-10 working days. Hope they can keep that promise. --------
Have the same problem with my Jabra Freeway, really annoying to get thos silent gaps when listening to podcasts and music in the car. Tried to run navigation on my way to work today to see if that made any difference but it didn't :-(

Thanks for info.
Seems the problem is more related to Bluetooth version & buffering.
I'm planning to buy Sony wireless headset pro with bt v3.
I'll update once I get it hopefully by end of June...

I just tried using my Moto S10-HD after reading this, and thought I would tell you my experience. I have alot of music on my phone, and I just hooked up my BT with Wifi on and no issues, so I started to play music and so far 3 songs and no gaps stutter or anything like that. One thing that does happen which prior phones didnt happen is that when the screen goes to stand by after not touching it, there is a .5 second interruption in the song, but thats it I am currently on my forth song and the phone is in "standby" mode and it plays perfectly.
I have the WWE version of the phone using 1.29.401.11 ROM BL unlocked, rooted, and custom stock rom.
Not sure that it helps you but to share my experience; I have occasional stuttering on bluetooth using my Sennheisers if the phone is in my pocket. I found that I can replicate the stuttering if I completely cover the top of the phone with a hand on either side and cupped together at the top - in fact I can cut off bluetooth playback altogether.
This isn't a normal way of holding the phone obviously - but it does count if the phone is in your pocket, there is already some 'resistance/interference' from the surroundings. Other than that, I have great wifi reception, best of any phone I have had.
Could this be a hardware fault? Maybe they just need to boost the bluetooth signal / improve buffering?
I only got my HOX this week, aside from this issue it is great, no other issues - touch wood
Mine seemed to studder when it was in my pocket while I walked my dog. I sent it in for other issues and we'll see if the new one has similar issues.
Same problem here ! Kinda disapointed !
Same problem SonyEricsson HBH-IS800
I also have a lot of stuttering. It appears to be a very weak signal because it works better (though still not flawless) when I have the phone close to the headset.
Putting the phone in my pocket is already far enough for playback to completely stop working.
Hi
I'm having a really unbearable problem with the headphone jack - any slight knocks to the headphone connector cause the track to skip or pause - as if I were pressing buttons on a button controller. My headphones are mid-range Shures (i.e. high build quality) and do not cause this behaviour on other phones. Has anyone had anything similar? Or have any suggested workarounds? It makes it basically impossible to use the phone to listen to music with whilst walking...
Many thanks

Yes: I get that behaviour too.
Took mine back to the shop for a replacement. Seems to be fine on the new handset.
Same problems here. Returned the first one to Best Buy,and the new one has the same problem. It's it just a software update to fix it?
Same here. Touching or slightly tapping the headphone plug either pauses/skips the track or opens up Voicemate (which cannot be disabled in settings). There has to be some software running that 'manages' audio connections.
I tried LG support and they didn't address the issue at all but said it might warrant an RMA.
Mine was fine for two weeks and just noticed the problem today. It's highly frustrating.
Update: noticed for some reason sometimes when the headphones are plugged in it recognises it as a headset and thats when knocking the phone jack either triggers voicemate or skips tracks. If you get it to recognise it as headphones it seems to be fine.
Same here. Sometimes with my audio cable it recognizes it as headphones. Sometimes when I plug in the audio cable it doesn't work at all unless I unplug it a few times. Overall volume for audio cable and Bluetooth is pretty low too.
Last two days the problems got worse for me to the point I can't get it to detect my headphones properly, always a headset. I did notice however that if it detects it as a headset the volume would be quieter even on the same sound setting.
To stop the annoying issue for now, as I use PowerAmp, I have enabled the PowerAmp lockscreen widget and disabled the headset controls. As I never use a headset (BT or otherwise) this seems to have stopped the knocks skipping tracks for me.

Yep I can confirm above fixed issue and besides PowerAmp S**ts on stock player.
I have only noticed it in my cars when listening to Spotify . I use an aux port and a 3.5 mm cable in both. My issue is the phone not recognizing a cable is plugged in some of the time. I have to repeatedly unplug and replug until it recognizes it. Seems to work better if I unplug from the stereo rather than the phone. It had also kicked off a few times between songs. So far it's been fine with headphones, but very limited use, so inconclusive. I'm not sure if the cause, but stinks of a software bug.

Same here except it happens when I'm using Google Maps to navigate on my bike..........any little bump on the road and it goes to Voice Activation. It's really annoying and frustrating
I have to unplug and plug the cable several times in the car before it will recognize an aux connection. Thinking of trying a different cable, who knows, it might help. But it does sound like a software problem rather than a hardware one

I contacted customer service (UK) regarding this matter. This is what they replied and I quote:-
Hi Steven,
Thank you for your query regarding your LG G3 (D855).
After reading through your email and looking into this for you I can advise that the problem you are experiencing is going to be down to the phone using the KnockOn Function against your leg. In this instance we would like you to try and face the phone screen so it is not touching your leg when it is in your pocket and to make sure there is nothing else in the pocket with your G3.
This could also be affected by the Genuine LG G3 head/earphones not being used. Please make sure you are using the correct Head/earphones whilst performing the above test.
If you still experience a problem after doing this then we would highly advise for you to contact us back so we are able to investigate this further and resolve this for you.
We hope this works for you Steven.
I hope my email has answered your query and assisted you today; I would really appreciate your feedback. Please help us to improve our customer service by completing the short survey after this email.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Josh

Same problem
I am getting the same issue where Headphone jack: slight knocks change track.
I read Stevemiddies post about what LG said. (good work Steve for raising to them) and I dont see how it be down to the "knock on". I have taken phone out and cant replicate issue by "knocking" the phone anywhere. But the smallest of touches on the headphone input to the LGG3 causes it to pause or skip tracks...
I also read Kinnyfaifais post about how using poweramp can stop this. Great bit of advice. but i dont really want to have to pay for poweramp to fix an issue which LG should fix..it cant be right that a phone with headphones cant be put in your pocket!!! I have the quick circle case too.
COME ON LG lets see a fix

For sure the response from LG was not really relevant to this issue.
I have used my Shure SE 535's, Sennheisers, Klipch's and of course the LG supplied headphones. The problem remains.
I don't believe it has anything to do with the 'knock code' personally. The problems happen every time I move the headphone jack at the point of entry to the phone.
I also have the Poweramp Pro version but despite following previous posters advice, it has not resolved the problem.
It remains deeply frustrating.

It didn't solve it for me in the end either. As I have root, I disable VoiceMate through TiBu. I agree it's highly annoying and LG needs to address this issue.

Hi, well the Nokia 6.1 is my first Nokia after many, many years on Motorola. It's a good and very beautiful fon. But tow problems annoy me. First thing, the Camera App. Laggy, sometimes, the fon frezze. When In take a Shot from Whatsapp directly, the fon is freezing. Please Update!
Second, so many Problems with Bluetooth-Connect. I'll paire the Nokia with my Garmin Vivoactive 3 - the initial Pair and the intial Synch will works fine. Leave the Connection-Area, the Nokia doesen't reconnect the Watch. I'll test with a Motorola fon and a Amazon Fire Tabelt, the reconncet works very well - it's must be a problem on the Nokia / Oreo Side...

Keep in mind that the phone is just released here in Europe. We can't expect them to just have fixed every problem in the universe.
I too have sometimes problems with some minor lag, but I just think we need to be a little more patient for Nokia/Google to release improvements.
Same problems here with Bluetooth connections and overall phone lagginess...
TA-1068 - two different Bluetooth headsets connect flawlessly, but when the phone is in my pocket I experience some connection problems, like losing connection for a moment. If it's out of the pocket and near the headset, connection is ok. Guess some range problems...
I was experiencing the lagging as well, very very noticeable and not good considering previous phone was Moto g2015 and felt just as slow as the Nokia.
So I decided to try something which seems to have fixed all lagging. I disabled the camera app that came with the phone, installed Google camera, and then restarted. Lag is now gone. It really sucks they shipped this phone with a buggy camera app but glad I figured out a fix

I'm having very annoying audio problems with the 6.1, with both Bluetooth and the audio jack.
When I connect my phone to a speaker or headset via Bluetooth, the audio is constantly dropping out. Once every 10-20 seconds it sounds like someone turns the sound to 0, pauses, then slowly turns the volume back up again. And this happens with the phone sitting less than 2 feet away from the speaker/headphones. I've tried with two Bluetooth devices (3-4 year old jLab Crasher; brand new Anker headphones) and 2 apps (Amazon Music; Podcast Addict) and all 4 combinations had the constant drop outs. I've tried rebooting the phone. I've used the Bluetooth headset on a different, much older, device and had no issue, so I'm nearly positive it's the phone. Are other people experiencing these frequent drop outs too? Or do I just have a defective Bluetooth radio in my phone?
Normally I don't even use Bluetooth because I prefer the consistency of a plugged in cable. I probably wouldn't have even discovered the Bluetooth problem were it not for the audio jack. It's not as consistent but just as annoying. I'll be listening to Podcast Addict and suddenly the audio will just stop playing through my headphones. I'll look at the app and about half the time the podcast will be paused but the other half it'll still be playing and I'll have to do a weird combination of unplugging and re-plugging the headphones combined with closing and reopening the podcast before it'll play through the headphones again. Again, is anyone else experiencing headphone jack issues?
Similar 3.5mm audio plug problems here also.

You can start this problem at the Nokia support app. They can help you through chat. Maybe they know the solution for that

the camera issues can be remedied by side loading the 7 plus camera apk and with BT try disabling BT "scanning" in the settings. I also noticed an improvement with Wifi by disabling "scanning" as well .

At the risk of jinxing things, I think that fixed it! I had seen something for the Nokia 6 (2017) about disabling BT scanning but I couldn't find it anywhere on my menu so I thought it was specific to that model. Dopey me. Finally found it and switched scanning off and now I've listened over 5 minutes without a single drop out. Thanks!
Edit: Well, that worked for one night. Turned off the Bluetooth and Wifi scanners and was able to listen over Bluetooth for over an hour with just one drop. Then this morning got 5 drops in a minute. Rebooted the phone and got even more. Will contact Nokia support.
Strange. I have obviously switched off the scanning at first set up, but Bluetooth problem is there...

I used the Nokia support app and this is what transpired:
1) They had me try the Bluetooth in Safe Mode (while holding power button down tap Restart and then a prompt should pop up for Safe Mode; Click that).
2) In Safe Mode listened to 10 minutes of YouTube drop-free
3) Rebooted into Normal Mode and got 3 drops in the first 1 minute.
4) Back to the chat, where Support had me clear the Bluetooth cache (Applications --> Show System Apps (from 3 dots drop down in upper right corner) --> Bluetooth --> Storage --> Clear cache --> Restart) Did not help me. 3 drop outs in first 60 seconds after restart.
5) Next Support had me Reset Network Settings. (Settings --> Network & Internet--> 3 dots in upper right corner --> Reset WiFi, Mobile & Bluetooth)
6) This works!... For now at least. I'll use it and slowly re-add other Bluetooth devices like my car, my Fitbit, etc. If the audio drops suddenly reappear it may give me a clue on what is causing the problem.

I used the Nokia support app and this is what transpired:
1) They had me try the Bluetooth in Safe Mode (while holding power button down tap Restart and then a prompt should pop up for Safe Mode; Click that).
2) In Safe Mode listened to 10 minutes of YouTube drop-free
3) Rebooted into Normal Mode and got 3 drops in the first 1 minute.

Thanks for this. Will give it a go and report back. Thanks
I don't remember if I mentioned, but the may update for pixels fixes a similar problem, so in a couple of days it might get fixed for us also.
Over the past several days I have encountered a serious problem whenever I try to use headphones with my Mi 6. When I have a headphone plugged into the audio USB dongle and attempt to play music, at the slightest vibration, tracks will start and stop playing, tracks will change, the volume will shift, and the microphone will activate. This has made it almost impossible to listen to music with the phone anymore. I have tested this with two headsets, which both cause the effect, though it does not happen if I do not have a headset plugged in. Because I have had this phone since soon after it was released, my guess is this problem was caused by a recent MIUI (I'm on 10 8.10.11 Beta) update. It kept occurring even after I installed Blackplayer and tried using that instead.
It sounds more like a hardware problem to me, dirty or loose connections

I tried cleaning everything as best as I could, but to no avail. Does anyone else have any experience with this problem, or is there a way I could disable the phone from accepting input from the USB port so that my headphones will be usable?
