Jelly bean bugs and answers - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So ive noticed a couple of huge flaws with jelly bean so far a d have not been able to find or figure out the solution. Firat off my screen lags horribly when my keyboard comes up, especially while trying to send text messages. Secondly, graphics intensive games seem to be sped up too much.

Has anyone noticed these problems, and does anyone have a solution?

I had problems with my WiFi. It showed connected but I could not actually get browser to work or send or receiveany data. I did a factory reset (after backing up) and it worked. I tried some WiFi fixer apps with no luck.

Thats odd, my wifi signal appears stronger following tbe update. Dont know if it actually is or not, I never did any benchmark tests on wifi on 4.0. Im glad your problems got resolved though, hope the reset wasnt too much of a burden

It's just you.
"Huge flaws"??? Hardly. Switch keyboards. Sammy one sucks.

I've got one. When I use Google play music using tbe headphone jack, the first song i play works fine. (meaning it plays through whatever i have it plugged into, i. e., headphones, car speakers) But as soon as the next song comes on it bypasses the jack and plays out the phone's speakers. Im running stock rooted K3. only happens on that app. ive uninstalled and reinstalled. ive done a hard reset. Any ideas? thanks much. Oh yeah, when the second song plays through the speakers if I pause and play it then goes through the jack.

Unfortunately this has been a bug since the first Jelly Bean leak.
You can try enabling "Audio Output Mode" in Settings > Accessories, but I've not personally tried that. I only heard of it as a suggestion.
You could do what I did and put all your music on your phone and use PowerAMP. I know its kind of silly that simple audio output doesn't work but that's the way it is. You could also switch to an AOSP ROM to correct it.

Music with Bluetooth

Is anyone else experiencing "skipping" when playing music through Bluetooth? It's happening using Pandora and the stock music player.

I found that mine skipped when I had wifi on (and was not connected to an AP). Try turning wifi off.
Thanks. I'll give that a try.

That happens to me every once and a while even without Bluetooth. My theroy is that another CPU process is running (like sync) slowing the CPU down to a crawl. I am not sure why that happens with a 1Ghz but it also happens playing Modern Combat so I'm assuming thats why. Froyo should fix it.
I've been listening to music (stock samsung player) over bluetooth (Motorola S305) since a couple weeks now, no issues, no skipping with or without wifi.
mine seems to do it at the beginning of the songs within the first 30 seconnds to a minute of first listening. then it doesn't really do it too much(maybe once every few songs). I attribute it to all the widgets I run raping my phone day in and day out. poor little captivate... she takes it like a woman though.
Thanks for all of the replies. I tried turning wifi off and that worked for me.

unable to transmit voice using aux cable in car

i cant transmit on my tb when its plugged in to my aux port in my car. i can hear just fine through the car speakers.
i did a xda search and Google search, cant find solution.
checked sound settings and tried different kernel.
can i get an assist?
CM 7 1.4.
Elaborate on transmit? Do you mean it won't pick up on your voice?
i can hear the person i am calling but they cant hear me. sorry, im in the navy and use the naby lingo
CM 7 1.4.
well, ehen it's plugged in through the aux it's basically the same as plugging in headphones... just instead of it going through headphones, it goes through your car stereo. basically, it's only for audio out from the phone. it will not pick up your voice.
From another thread:

Took me a while to find this (from teambamf forums)
Settings -> Call -> TTY -> TTY VCO
Works like a champ. I have a really good set of headphones I listen to music and audiobooks on. They're very durable and sound pretty good. First set I've had that lasted me more than 4-6 weeks. No inline microphone. Now I can just use the on-board mic.

Been a problem on aosp based roms on the TBolt since launch. Setting the tty works, but the sound is horrible on the other end from what I've noticed.
Thanks ghrubi! I just switched roms for the first time sine the first TheoryRom came out and I was having the same issue.

Random Zapping noise while listening to music

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.

[Q] Music Playback issue S3

I am having issues with Google Music playback. I am running rooted stock 4.1.1 and am unable to get Google Music working properly. It shows my playlist, and plays 2-4 songs, but then stops playing. The program will show the last screen it was on, with a pause button as if it was still playing. But it does not play the music, or respond to any button being pushed. I can still search through my playlist and even choose other songs, but they will not play, and it goes back to showing the last song it was playing. I have downloaded some music to the device and it seems to still play the music stored on the device. This has happened both on mobile data and wi-fi, though often more on data,

ive had the same issue, even after pinning music from the cloud to my phone. my workaround has been to close all recent apps and clear ram in task manager. it is frustrating though.
My phone does the same thing ever since the jelly bean update, I'm stock and not rooted. My fix is to use the task manager and force quit Google Music then relaunch it, like stated above. After that it seems to work properly for a few days. Sucks though because it always happens when I'm on my run during lunch and nothing kills momentum more than having to stop and do this!

Yeah, mine doesn't show up in recent apps on my task manager when it happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled Google music. Working so far.
So question, does this problem affect the stock rom as well or just custom roms. ?
This will be kind of a big problem for me since this is how I listen to all my music in my truck.
Well happened again today on my run and tonight at home on Wi-Fi, sick of this and all Google suggested was what we are trying what a bunch of crap. I'm trying something new, I uninstalled updates and returned it to the oem version and see how it goes. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well 2 days on the oem version with no updates installed and no problems so far. Looks like this might be a temporary fix until Google figures out what's going on.

Do you mind sharing the apk?
Rebooting will also fix the problem.
Does this problem happen with other music players?
If not, what music player are working?

Just uninstall updates, it's pre-installed on our phones.

I ditched Google play when it was doing what you explained. I remember buying power amp 2 years ago. Downloaded it and works like a charm. Downloads the cover art for all my music. And the equalizer brings out the best sound from my oem s3 ear buds.

It might be easier for you both to just post which version of Google Music you have installed. If you're on two different versions then you can troubleshoot better.

Technically you already have two music players pre-installed which is the stock player and Google Play. People end up downloading other players as those have better sound with and without audio enhancements along with good headsets. I also at one point had a play back issue so I downloaded another player and had no playback issues.

ROM suggestions to enable Bluetooth calls while playing music.

Hey everyone.
Here's the story. I came from a droid 4 and would play music off the phone through the 1/8 jack on the top into my trucks aux in. A Bluetooth call would come in and it would pause the music and the Bluetooth call would come through no problem.
Now, with my Verizon s3, I can't hear the person on the other side unless I unplug the cable to the aux in.
My question is if someone can recommend a ROM to accomplish this. So far I've tried synergy and axis and both won't work properly.
Thanks!

There is an app called SoundAbout will do that for you.
Thanks. I tried that. It works. But being a tinkerer, I kept trying ROMs. CM 10.1 works great. The last nightly has no problems so far.
