Ok this may be a total idiot question, I have the Desire S very happy although cant wait for it to be rooted.
I'm watching videos on the DS but the screen will not rotate, am I being an idiot? or is this an issue? I used the standard player and failed and have also tried mobo player and get the same issue, when charging the phone its near impossible to stand up the charging port is underneath.
BTW not sure if its relevant I am using GoLauncher ex
Thanks
Mike
Has anyone had the same issue? It is very annoying.

sorry, don't watch videos on my phone and don't do landscape......
Hi King,
I can't instantly see a way to rotate the video playback to the opposite side either, sorry.
I've tried Rock Player as well as the stock video player.

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and might be able to stead me in the right direction. My Bluetooth headset pairs with my phone just fine and audio works with apps like music player and videos but when I make a call the call audio sounds extremely muffled beyond being able to decipher words. I'm using Hellfire pheonix 2.2 rom. I restored stock rom back on this phone and the problem was resolved. Then I restored HF pheonix back again and the problem returned. Thanks for reading.

Just do a search for bluetooth new baseband in the forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=57878597
It's a known issue with the newer baseband.
Don't forget... SEARCH THREAD is your friend..
Not sure how to exactly describe the sound but I randomly get a ear piercing zapping noise while listening through earphones or connected to aux wire in the car. After it happens the volume gets lower and I have to pull out the wires and then restart the song. Anyone else experience this?
Fyi my setup is latest synergy r147. But it also happened since I had r125.
Maybe its just hardware related.
this is only happening in poweramp and not the stock player.

Not necessarily. It could be that your audio cable is damaged or there is a grounding loop if you're charging it as well

poweramp seems to be the problem
I tried playing the same files on the stock player but never got the squealing noise. and if i unplug it it still squeals. and it happens when it is cold outside. pls help i cannot figure it out. seems like poweramp is the problem so i deleted poweramp and reinstalled it. and only restored data from TIBU. and after a while the noise comes back. i don't know what to do

It's the file format themselves then. Which file formats do you notice cause the squeaking? For me, I noticed that wma and m4a files cause constant squeaking in PowerAmp whereas mp3's work fine. I have zero issues playing those same audio files in the stock player. Basically, any music files that I placed on my phone from Windows Media Player and iTunes cause music popping/cracking unless using the stock music player.

It's ridiculous that those two file formats cause issues for me. The worst part is I have those same exact files on my HTC Droid Incredible and have absolutely no issues. It was something I noticed immediately once I received my GSIII in July but previously had no issues with. Months ago I sent an email to the PowerAmp dev to inquire about this and they told me it was an issue with Samsung's firmware not their app. It seems like Samsung sabotaged music file compatibility with third party apps. I still love PowerAmp though.

I've been having the same problem. Whether its my ear phones, AV cable in the car or, at work it does it. Even on different apps (native music player, play music, and podcast app). I have an otter box so my ports are good and clean and no water damage. No idea why it happens but I've got a replacement on the way for an unrelated reason. So hopefully it won't do it too.

did you just restore same data for poweramp and play like it was before?hmm maybe i should get it too.

Fwiw I think I found the problem....it was a low voltage problem. When my voltages for kernel settings were tweaked to be lower I would immediately get the zapping sounds. Can't say what the levels were but anything I setup away from stock...it happened. Hope this helps anyone.

Anybody have this issue? At first, I thought it was just a Google music issue where songs either stop half way through, or skip. But, it happens on most streaming apps such as slacker radio, fusion player... Anybody else? I wonder if it is a KitKat bug?

Yeah, I use player pro to listen to music and randomly i will skip and it will stop playing. Its weird

Very annoying, only Pandora seems to be working okay. Even spotify has issues, but that's a whole different story, mostly with album art

Hmm interesting, well just have to wait and see if the developers can fix it. I've already contacted the developer of player pro and told him about the problem. You might do the same for your favorite music apps

I use the stock player and playing flac files, always occur random skip about 1 - 2 seconds.
So wired
i get it too on play music. i can be listening to it as i get into my car and as soon as it connects to bluetooth its on a totally different song at some random point. and the kicker is its all random.

It is due to a regression in flac decoding on KitKat: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62562
Use an other kernel is ok

is the phone in your pocket when it starts skipping? like could it be the proximity or g sensor?
I want to love this phone but I am having difficulty for one reason: Bluetooth issues.
So I have a Note 3, my wife has an S4, a friend has an S5. 2 I know have the M8. I loved the Note 3 but Kit Kat has killed it until I can root it at least.
Anyway, all of these phones work flawlessly streaming bluetooth music to my car EXCEPT the M8. I had a Rezound for 5 minutes and it had the same issue. It is just this annoying clicking sound that is similar but worse than the stock camera click.It happens about every 10 seconds on the dot. I drive a 2011 Kia Optima LX (daddy car, ha). I know it isn't boom sound because that isn't enabled over bluetooth. I tried playing with max volume, low volume, mid volume. I tried a 3rd party equalizer. I tried streaming music, youtube videos/music, local files...all the same clicking. ALL HTC phones I have tried have the same issue! I I have no idea what to try. I also tried turning NFC off...wifi off. Driving out into the middle of nowhere to make sure there is no interference. This does not happen through the speakers or headphones. Only Bluetooth. I am at wits end!
I really would hate to return this over that issue, but I will. I want to love it - but something like this is annoying enough to make me hate it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I cold do to fix this?
Thanks for any information.
I have the same problem with Pandora over Bluetooth in a Chevy Equinox and on my Beats Box portable. This did Not happen with my HTC Rezound. Does anyone have a fix for this ? Just makes me want to explode !

Last night I tested the Jaybird Bluebuds X and they have the same issue.
Another good question would be: If you have experienced this and rooted - did root fix it?
Hmm weird I have the same jaybirds and no problem here

Hmm. Well that's interesting. Maybe I just got a dud this round. Do you happen to have a car bluetooth that streams media?
FWIW I have horrendous issues with the HTC m8 and the A2DP BT Audio Streaming in my car where in the past my S3 and S4 had 0 issues what so ever.
In some cases it won't pair consistently and other times even when it is paired, I can't control the app to play/advance tracks. I hope/expect HTC is aware of this and is working on a resolution.

Last question, have you tried using google play music at the highest quality setting? After further research - I believe this is directly related to the known issue with FLAC files. HQ Play Music will stream FLAC depending on the artist. I would be interested as to if you have tried that at all and if it exists on viper rom.
I was able to repro the issue on multiple devices and that enabled me to narrow the device itself out. That's kind of good/bad news, haha. Google has a fix but it did not make the cut for 4.4.2 - so I am curious as to if some of the leaked stuff has the fix or not. Trial and error will likely be the only way to know. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...nd-stuttering-on-android-4-4-a-fix-is-coming/ describes the issue to a T.
