So I have the Charge, it's stock. I've added a few apps but that's it. Here in the last couple of weeks when playing Pandora or the music loaded on the phone it just stops. It doesn't exit the player, just stops. At first I thought it was just Pandora, so I tried to listen to my music loaded on the phone and it does it as well. Does anyone know what's going on? It didn't do that before. I don't know what's changed, Maybe an upgrade?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Bryan
Oh, and this will happen with the screen on or off.
Had the same issue on stock, Pandora would act as though I had paused it. I would just tap pause and it would resume playing again.
Oddly, I have not had the same issue since flashing the EP3HA debloat & updated kernel.
Same issue here. Just hit play and continue listening. It doesn't happen all that often.

Moving to Q&A
I went to the last place on earth to get answers A VERIZON STORE, and they called the tech people and there have been no known complaints about this. They suggested a hard reset. I've been listening to my music (loaded on the SD card) and it's stopped at least 5 times. I think it's the player. IDK.
I wander? I know that if you unplug the speakers/headphones it will pause the music. I wander if the connector on the phone isn't getting hot or something and disconnecting. I'm gona listen to it on the speaker and see if it still happens.
I get it all the time

sounds like it could be a number of things: bad audio chip, bad 3.5mm connector (either in the phone or headphone plug is defective/not enough rings or whatever on connector to work properly), could be the Pandora app or music player app being retarded... you would have to try different headphones, different apps, using your headphones on another Charge if you could and see if it still happens, clearing app data/cache or uninstalling/reinstalling the apps... idk just my 2 cents, I've never had audio problems on my Charge
Normally I'd agree, however like I said this just started. I've used this particular speaker set from day one. I bought this phone the day they came out and I've used the music player and pandora from the day I bought it. I just started having this issue last week. To day, on the way home (hour drive) I let the mp3 player play through the speaker. By the time I got home it stopped. But not in the normal way. There was no sound but the player was still playing. I stopped it and then restarted and it still had no sound. I made a call using the speaker and that worked. After the call I tried the audio again and what do you know, it worked. So that really doesn't tell me anything lol.
So I gave in and did the hard reset. And as I thought, nothing changed. It still stops playing. The only difference is now I have to redownload my apps. I think I'm going to set up my video camera and let it record it and then take it into the store. That way they can see that it does it with both internal and external programs. Then see what they say. I do have the insurance, I wonder if they would change it out?

sounds like its defective hardware then, maybe the sound card's going out... and they should be able to switch it out under warranty so you don't have to pay the deductible or whatever for Asurions insurance claim
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
Samsung wants me to send it in, but this is the only phone I have. I do have the insurance from VW so I guess I'll be seeing them this weekend.
Oh, here is a funny.
So I e-mailed Samsung and explained my issue. I was told to transfer the music to the phone that way we could see if it wasn't the SD card.
Saw this thread and figured I'd chime in.
I'm having very similar issues for the last few months with any audio software:
-Listen
-Rhapsody (I have a subscription)
-Pandora
-Music player (from Google)
Doesn't seem to matter if I'm playing media off of SD or streaming. For a while I thought it was the overzealous stock task killer. I was running bone stock 2.2 when these issues started occurring. Tried a factory reset, formatted SD card to no avail. That failed to fix it... I rooted and flashed 2.3.5 with imoseyon's kernel but that didn't do the trick either (but I love how the phone runs now).
I went into a Verizon store to see if they've seen similar complaints. Rep looked at my phone and searched for any similar complaints in the database but found none. He went ahead and ordered me a refurb to swap without too much fuss.
Guess we'll see what happens next.
I've been having "skips" while listening to mps3 or streaming music myself. I tried several players off the market plus Rhapsody and Spotify. In an hour I would get 5 or so skips if not more once in a while. Skips kinda like how a cd player would back in the day.
I finally had enough with it (and data and gps issues) and called in today. Told them I already did a hard reset so the rep just sent me out a new phone. I'll see how it works out. The second it gives me issues I will just call back in for another Charge.
Heaven forbid but if I go through 4-5 handsets I am requesting a Droid Bionic. They seem to have their own issues but Moto has came out and said their OTA fix is coming in 30-60 days. I've yet to hear about an official OTA for the charge yet and its damn near the end of the year...
Just received my new device while at work. Immediately popped in the sim and sd card from my old phone and downloaded Pandora to stream at my desk. Songs kept played for hours non stop with no issues.
Everything was fine until I started installing apps. Pandora continues to pause at random.

First off, I want to thank everyone who has posted about rooting, removing bloat and overclocking, my poor old OG droid is now twice as fast as stock and the tweaks were as easy as eating Skittles on the couch. Oh, and I loved the newb video, and after reading this site for a while I think it may not be harsh enough.
Anyway, I have had an idea for an app that I have searched extensively for, and have not come up with anything even close. I'm no coder, barely understand the concept, so I submit this idea to the community in hopes that if you like it, someone will write it, and it will be good. All I ask in return is that I don't have to pay for it later, if it goes viral.
Recently the driving laws of my home state and many others have changed, and the exact wordings differ greatly. In Nevada, the wording is such that I can answer my phone and talk on speakerphone, as long as I can do so in one button push. And before you say the word "blue-tooth" leme remind you how much battery power that takes, realize I use this thing constantly for business and can't afford a new device or devices. Plus, I only have one power outlet, and would have to charge my mp3 player (much more song storage than my phone, and no interruption from calls or lack of service out in the boonies) my phone and then a blue tooth headset. Talk about a distraction while driving!
Now, on to the idea in question. When the phone is in sleep mode and the phone rings, I would have to unlock the screen, answer the call, and push 'speakerphone', and this(according to the letter of the law) is illegal while driving in the great state of Nevada. After reading this I got to thinking (and that can sometimes lead to dangerous actions, so after putting my special thinking helmet on...) this is what I came up with.
The camera button doesn't have a function while the screen is off, at least not that I have found on my phone. Also, when receiving a call, the camera button does nothing. In fact it doesn't do anything on my phone unless I'm on the home screen.(and I changed that auto-run feature of the camera so I wasn't taking 15 pics a day by accident, now it only works when I'm IN camera) So, my thought is to tie the camera button in with answering a call directly into speakerphone, without unlocking the screen and pressing 2 buttons. This makes answering my phone while driving legal, and much, much safer. Instead of 3 actions, now I have only one, taking a third less of my focus off the road. Plus, I don't have to look around for a cop before answering an important call, or pull over to the side of a busy highway to avoid a ticket.
This seems like a no-brainer to me, I just don't know the first thing about coding or writing apps, other than I don't know jack about coding or writing apps! Wish I did, as I think this could be a very helpful app if done correctly. I'm a gear-head, so If you wana talk cars we could talk all day, but I only know smartphones by what I have read in the last few months. Granted, I am VERY interested... (See: Staying up all hours of the night reading about the subject and writing posts! LOL)
Leme know what ya'll think. I can take criticism, even insults, just don't call me stupid. I'm always coming up with hair-brained schemes, and every once in a while, this blind squirrel does find a good nut or two.

send pm to mod for moving thread to right froum.
So I was scanning eBay for Bluetooth docks, and came across this, " Bluetooth A2DP Music Audio Receiver Adapter for iPhone 4 4S iPod ". Search for it on eBay, without the quotation marks obviously.
Wow, really? I'm not allowed to post a clickable link to eBay??? How about the moderators just do their job and remove spam posts like the moderators on other forums I'm on do, rather than **** up new members ability to post helpful information. Because I'm damn sure not gonna run back out and get my post count up just so I can post a link.
Anyway............................
It's an adapter that sits in an iPod/iPhone dock, and receives audio via Bluetooth! It requires, obviously, a dock that is capable of charging the iPod/iPhone, as it uses that as it's power source. I have a Samsung HW-D7000 Blu-Ray receiver that came with an iPod/iPhone dock, and this will be put to great use now, rather than just sitting in the box in my attic! Hahaha. And at only freakin $16, it's a great deal! I'll come back and let you guys know how well it works as soon as I receive it, and get to test it out.
Also, this opens up out possibilities for buying docks for out phones too! I actually already have a Phillips Fidelio AS140 Android dock, and it is awesome! Has great sound via Bluetooth, and honestly, I prefer being able to play music through a dock without it being required to be sitting in the dock. As I know it's bad on the battery to continually be in a charging status, but also it's very nice to be able to carry the phone around the house in my pocket and control the volume and music being played, rather than awkwardly leaning down to use the phone on the dock.
Holy ****!!! This is absolutely the most aggravating forum to post to that I have ever been on as a new member!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, oh my dear freakin' god. And I received an "Error" trying to post this also! Gotta wait 5 minutes before I'm allowed to post again. Maybe one day, xda with graciously allow me to offer up help without it being a pain in the ass to do so. I'm not an expert, but I do like to offer help and advice when I'm able to.
Sorry for the rants, I get angry when things don't work like I would like them to. Hahaha.
The restrictions, while aggravating, are there to prevent spam and malware links. Frustrating, but necessary unfortunately.
That's a great find, though. Provided it works (I see no reason it shouldn't) it opens up the previously very limited number of Android capable docks, and makes a Bluetooth solution very affordable.

Yea, I understand why the restrictions would be put into place, but I also take responsibility for my own computer, and what finds its way onto it. Enough of that though.
I will most certainly be relaying how well this works, and any quirks it may have. I did find a Bluetooth receiver that can be used with any stereo with a 3.5mm audio input, and it has about a 3-4 hour battery life. The only issue with it so far, is that it can only be used on battery power. You can't just plug the charger up, and leave it. So basically, you use it until the battery dies, and you must charge it completely, then unplug the charger before you're able to use it again. It's still pretty impressively simple, functional, and easy to use tho.
Hello xda devs!
I've just bought a blue yeti microphone.
I want to livestream on Instagram and use it, however my device will not set the microphone to the external microphone.
There are apps such as Open Camera where you can record a video using your microphone as you can set the external microphone option in the settings, however I need a fix so my android device will ALWAYS use external microphone no matter what application is open.
I've literally tried everything.
I've also bought an adaptor which is female USB to headphone jack, however because the blue yeti needs to be powered by 5V, the headphone jack provides insufficient power to even power the yeti.
I've also tried an adaptor for female USB to usb type C. That powers the Yeti perfectly fine, however the problem persists.
It will not pick up the microphone in an external app that isn't "open camera".
I really need all the help I can get please as I'd love to stream and record with my yeti
Thank you
anyone able to help me please
Welcome to scamdroid.
If you want a real computer, camera, recording device, almost anything advanced users want (aka anyone who needs more than a phone to gossip about kim kardashian on and pester and stalk people busy doing important things) you need to buy such a dedicated device. When you begin to realize you are lied to about what it is then realize these are phones catered to people who gossip on phones 24/7 aka people who dont understand ANYTHING but running their mouths (the opposite of anyone educated or attempting to do anything with their life besides watch tv and gab).
Think about it, who made these phones popular? Apple.
Who is dumb enough to buy into apples lies that their computers are the worlds fastest supercomputers with counless customizations and other computers are just beige box shaped calculators and calanders. SJW kids at best.
You are merely experiencing one of hundreds or thousands of ways they sell this crap under lies and rip off schemes.
Keep down this road and you will begin to realize that XDA and Android talk and the 3rd site are all FILLED to the brim with mods and users who are apple kids whos tv told them to buy an android and youll end up like me avoiding these sites for the same reasons you avoid "the sun" "uk mail and any pop celebrity gossip site. Sure you want to see Kim Kardashians butt, but the people who congregate there make u wanna puke.
The answer is this probably isnt possible because scamdroid software is very locked down and unlike the lies they sold the crap on to compete with crApple they are actually locking the devices down MORE and not being more open.
Expect to not be able to read this when one of the fanboi mods gets triggered im telling you how it is with their favoirte -apple- google device.
Also i heard that the OTG cables were made obsolete and they dont work right unless its a direct USB-c one. $$$$$ I wouldnt expect it to work either way, ive got a few plain mic/speaker splitters and 2/3 dont work and if they do you have to plug them in a certain order and still the one that works distorts the line out.
If you really wanna attempt ill tell you how since these other people dont know. Starting basic droid camera you must plug splitter in first, THEN plug mic into mic in side of splitter. Your problem a little different but apprently the device is smart enough to do such extreme things and maybe im exposing a loophole they havent locked down yet :/ . Anyways try the order you plug crap into the system with xD Or better yet, stop using android like its more than a calaculator, or just throw it in the trash so other idiots can't waste your time calling and texting you about useless extending nothing/gossip and oopposite sex trying to leash u with it, or dont; either way just buy a dedicated camera that will work with the mic. Im done with this trendy hipsters "smart" phone crap, Its dumber than most humans and they are dumber than most dogs, so get a dog and give him your android as a chew toy and buy an actual camera and call it a day. remeber google and samsung sell cameras ad own audio companies, they dont want you to NOT buy that. Theyll only lock them down more and these sites will continue to make fake reviews praising them
With all due respect, "HorrorAngel," your response to the inquiry is useless, rude and absolutely wrong. 1) According to the manufacturer (Blue), the Yeti device CAN be used in conjunction with the Android Samsung 9 series phones. 2) The latest round of Samsung 9 series phones include a back-facing 12-megapixel, 4K quality camera, which is BETTER than the professional cameras I had in my network television studio, back in Chicago (ergo, your assertions are utter bunk). 3) I was just in Mexico City, where I watched as a professional television crew used this EXACT set-up (smartphone and Blue Yeti) for a remote, network interview. Do us all a favor, "Horror," and shut up, if you have nothing useful to contribute. As of now, your rant merely comes across as trolling crap. Get a life...
---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------
From what I gather (from Blue, the manufacturer), you can power the Yeti by using an adapter and plugging into the USB 3 port. I was given the same information in conversation with techs at Best Buy's "Geek Squad" support. I have just purchased a Samsung 9 Note, with a 12 megapixel camera, for the exact purpose of using this device to broadcast live, streaming television, using the Yeti as my microphone. Regardless of what a troll has ranted, in an earlier comment, I believe this setup with be successful, as others around the 'Net have already written of their successes. Once I have gotten everything set, and made a first test, I plan to report back on this site with my results.
Good luck! :good:

HorrorAngel bro I don't know about cameras but I am a computer engineer and I was horrirized reading your reply.
"scamdroid" is free and open source OS from google so ..... I can't see the scam ^^ 'you can actually download android, make some changes and then call it a ROM (custom android), as you can search "Best android custom roms" on the internet and install them into your phone. Thats why phones use android, its free. Apple btw makes you pay both for the phone and the software, that also means you can't change it. I have both android and iphone, and also have a phone with Ubuntu Touch from Linux, and I would recommend android because of that, the software is open and unlocked (it isnt by default, you can change it with 3 clicks to enter the risky mode. They do that to make people not destroy the phone's software).
Dont cry if android cant do something you want because it is software and if has limits. There are a lot of programmers like me working on making phones simple to understand but seems that even making it essy there are people like you that are simply blind and don't want to listen.
Whats up everyone. Ive checked threads with no luck...
I have been having bluetooth issues since day one thinking an ota would fix it. I believe at this point its a hardware issue, but im curious if someone has had the same issue and found a fix. OnePlus customer service is being stubborn. They want a damn movie of me explaining the issue.
I can pair devices fine. However, when I put my phone in my pocket, let's say, it begins to chop up the audio. Even in my car, if i hover my hand over the phone it chops up the audio. It works fine if I'm holding it it my hands watching a movie or something.
Is there a bluetooth.img/Driver someone could provide that I can flash. Probably wont help but im tryna rule everything out.
Thanks!!
