[Q] Headset Button stops functioning properly - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket and inserted ArmyVet AOKP ROMand everything was fine until today for some odd reason whenever I use the single button headset instead of changing, pausing or playing it increases the volume. I cannot find the reason nor the app that is causing it. Don't want to go through the long process of testing each app. anyone experienced this before or knows the app or solution?

This is a kernel issue. Are yo on AOKP JB or ICS? In any case, get a proper kernel and you should be fine.

Aokp ICS, can you direct me to the correct kernel? I believe I'm still using the stock kernel. I never installed a new one or was given one to install.

[SOLVED] Home button not working on any AOSP roms

Hey everyone, I'm having a weird issue with my GS3 SCH-I535. On any AOSP rom I try (CM10 Unofficial and Official, AOKP) my physical home button doesnt do anything except wake the screen when it's off. It wont return to my launcher. This doesn't happen on touchwiz roms (Synergy, stock).
Any ideas?
Isn't there an option to change hardware key functions? I'm not on CM10 yet. I will be tonight.

I saw an option for changing the long press function and tried that, but even long pressing still doesnt work. the button is completely unreactive except for waking the screen
odd.. I tried flashing another kernel but it didnt support CM10 and wouldnt boot, so i reflashed CM10 without full wipe this time and everything works fine now.
my notification bar was also completely empty and that's fixed as well. maybe it just wasnt flashing correctly before?
either way problem solved

seems like i'm having the same problem. home button only wakes on screen off, also returns to home from notifications and recent apps ... but that's it.
Worked fine on a CM10 nightly 20121004 then flashed the 20121006 and it broke. Reflashed 20121004, and still broke.(just flashed the latest nightly, and still not luck) Tried what seems like all combinations of CM10/Nova Launcher/Trebuchet settings. Tried fixing permissions, wiping cache as well.
It randomly started working again last night, but again stopped working on a reboot.
I feel like this is possibly related; at the same time my Menu (long press) only works when I'm on the Homescreen
I have no legitimate answer to your issue, but on the galaxy players there is a variation in the us/international versions that require a home button/soft key patch built specifically into the kernel. Whether that can point someone to a solution, I don't know...

In case anyone stumbles on this thread;
I seemingly found out how to replicate this on a consistent basis. On reboot, home button will not work (except for above mentioned features)
Using the "Toggle Lock Screen" Notification Drawer Widget once or twice seems to restore complete functionality until next reboot.
I have no idea how/why, but it does seem to work for me.

4.1.2 update - potential bug introduced in Google Music

i updated this morning and i have barely five hours under my belt with 4.1.2, but i have found quite an annoying bug (i think). i have noticed that while listening to music (whole albums in general), every few songs, the phone will stop playing at the end of one song and it won't continue to the next song unless i actually turn on the screen, at which point it immediately picks up on the next song. and no, it's not at the end of an album or anything like that. also, if i go back and re-listen to that same song, it will generally continue on to the next song instead of stopping.
has anyone else encountered this issue in 4.1.2? i *never* had this issue with 4.1.1, not once, but now it has happened four times in the past hour.
i'm stock and unrooted. if i factory reset, will it revert me back to 4.0.4 or just wipe the slate clean with a fresh 4.1.2? this is enough of an annoyance to me that i would go back to ICS and update the phone only to 4.1.1, if that's possible.
Yeah, I had the same exact problem. Noticed it while playing music in car on the way to work. I ended up just copying my selct couple of songs to the SD card and just use the stock music player.
But long story short, I had that same exact problem. Turn on the screen, and the device would play the next track in list.
4.1.2 Latest Clean Rom is the rom Im running. Not sure if the AOSP roms have the same problem or not.
I am on clean ROM and have no such problem... My play music used to stop on stock ICS and JB. But on clean ROM it works great for me.

Just a shot in the dark but are you guys using ds battery saver or anything similar to kill running apps at certain times? I have to turn off ds when running Pandora or it does this. Don't use Google music too often though so Idk if it would do the same to it.
At this point, my phone is just one big tweak.

no, i don't use any sort of battery saver or task killer. i might be reverting back to 4.1.1 shortly. i really don't like the stock samsung music player, plus i have tunes up in the cloud.
That was a bug with Google Music previous update before this current one. Have you updated it lately? Previous fix for me was to uninstall updates and run the stock version that came with the phone but since the update which was last month I have not had any issues.

Happens to me all the time on 4.1.1 Eclipse TW. I believe it's just a bug with the Google Music app...but weird because it never ever happened on my gnex. Maybe the app doesn't like TW?

[Q] Popping after any sound (P5100, CM10.1)

Hello,
my tablet is producing a very loud "pop" noise when speaker turns off (ie. after any sound). Galaxy Nexus seemed to have the same (hardware) issue, but I believe that mine is caused by software, as it started after I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 (latest nightly). I'm running following setup right now:
DhollmenCM (but I flashed cyanogenmod over it, not sure if it's still here)
CyanogenMod 10.1 latest nightly
GApps for CM 10.1
Before installing CM everything worked well (but the original ROM is **** and I need profiles). How am I supposed to fix this?
I've had that before as well. Do you by chance have any audio enhancing software installed besides DSP Manager? Programs like Volume+ are notorious for this.
DSP Manager has everything disabled, nothing else is installed.
First I would try to remove DSP just to see if that's the problem.
Here is a simple app that I use to remove apps that the ROM's have in them that I don't want. I usually do it after I flash because I don't feel like opening the ROM on the computer and removing them ahead of time.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u4wijb1zwzdd3pn/4TyYtOpd1x
If removing DSP doesn't solve your issue and you didn't have this problem previously, I would reflash wiping "everything" before flash, including data. Since at that point there would be no way to be certain what is causing it. I don't believe the kernel could be the problem as I am running CM10.1 and the Dhollmen kernel as well and don't have any issues.
I have reflashed everything many times - with no effect. After removal of DSP there's no difference too.

But did you wipe the system before flashing?
This is critical to make sure you have a clean installation, without it there are pieces that get left behind and cause all sorts of issues. If you have wiped, then it sounds like you have developed a hardware issue. Did it get dropped any time recently?
pzduniak,
I don't know if you're still having this problem, but I ran into this problem too. It was driving me nuts. It started happening when I was playing Pixel Dungeons.. then crept to my alarm and popped every time sounds played. I tried the DSPManager thing to no avail, but I tried this and so far have not heard any popping. I'm still testing, but I went into system>build.prop (I'm on a Sprint Galaxy S3, so just find build.prop on your device). In build.prop (make sure you're rooted so you can make changes), change the line that says lpa.decode=true to false. reboot and try that out. I researched very little about lpa.decode, but I remember having a problem in stock with battery drain and lpa.decode.. I dont know if it's true at all but give that a shot and let me know if the pops go away!
Good luck!

I had been having this popping problem for a while now, and Google brought me here. I went ahead and changed the lpa.decode to false like you suggested and it worked like a charm! Thanks mtran2988!

Music lag on screen press

If I am playing music then every time I press something on my screen (such as an app or an app button - basically any time a press is detected and activates an action) the music will lag/stutter for about a second. Scrolling does not cause lag, nor does pressing hardware buttons (power, volume, home) or the menu/back buttons under the screen. For example, the music will stutter when I open the Gmail app and also when I "click" (press) on an email to open it.
I am currently rooted on the latest rootbox (3.9.1) although this problem has occurred with several other ROMs including AOKP and CM. Also occurs on all music playing apps I've tried (Google music, Android music, etc.). I believe the problem occurs with MP3 files but not FLAC files (although I have not tested this extensively).
I believe this is different from the buffer problem whose solution is to download a music player with the option to increase the buffer size. The problems I am having seem to be different. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

Does this happen with the stock rom? or TW based roms?

Never had this problem on stock. Only since rooting has this occurred.

Ahhh that would actually make a lot of sense. An app I was making would make the glitch sound thing with .mp3 but not .wav

My line of thinking was that since you did not have this problem on stock, it would be probably a AOSP/AOKP/CM Rom issue. I would of likely thought kernel, maybe your phone did not like a certain kernel version 3.0 vs 3.5 or kernel from a certain kernel developer or the scheduler/cpu governor combination. I am uncertain now since you said that only since rooting which I assume you mean you were on stock rom and you just rooted it instead of flashing a different rom with root already included.

I am currently on Rootbox. I flashed several other ROMS including AOKP and CM immediately after unlocking the bootloader and rooting, all which have had this problem. It is probably most definitely a ROM issue but I have found no other information on this specific problem. Would using a different kernel help considering flashing several other ROMS hasn't solved this issue? Not sure if they all used the same/similar kernels. I don't extensively understand the importance of kernels.
Still have yet to find a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated.
i saw in the deviant xone thread that it stops if you disable touch sounds and screen lock sound, it should fix the issue.

Media volume goes to 0 mysteriously??

Hey I am on 4.1.2 stock UK, anyone else having a problem with the media volume automatically going to zero seemingly at random? I can't seem to pin in down as to what is causing this??
Thx

I have never experienced this in 3 different 4.1.2 Stock ROMs. Try to see if you have some quiet mode on or something that triggers on a specified time.
u can try repartition with pit file via odin...
I re enabled google play music and samsung music hub and just hid their icons instead. Haven't had it happen since. Maybe that was it, or maybe just a fluke that it hasn't gone quiet on me lately. Stock rooted and not much installed, only a few things disabled that I didn't use.
