[Q] (Q) Headphone Jack Issues PLS Help! - General Questions and Answers

Okay so I'm completely stumped at this problem. I plug in headphones, aux cords and my headphone icon becomes active, but when using music player or gallery video it acts as if headphones are being unplugged and plugged back in. Youtube works just fine and anything played through browser. I'm really at a loss here. I'm running 4.2.2 on a Chinese clone note 3. Any suggestions or help is appreciated!

Have you tried using a third party music player suck as Poweramp or Rocket Player? Do they have the same outcome?

I tried overplayed with the same outcome. I'm gonna download Pandora and see what happens with that. I just can't understand why youtube works fine.

Never mind on YouTube working I guess it was just acting right temporarily. I played a full song on YouTube earlier but now I get about 5 seconds or so on all sound through head phone jack.

Music skips?

I've tried the stop music app and player pro. Whenever I'm listening to it myself the music is fine but when I plug my headphones in or it in the car the songs will skip turn off the apps will just turn off and on again. I don't think its the headphone Jack because it works and whenever it doesn't skip the music plays fine :/ any ideas?

I'm running absolution 3.6. I couldn't tell you if this happened before I rooted because I bought it used and just recently put music on my phone and haven't really used headphone but last few days when I plugged it into a car Jack it started acting up. It will skip sings it will skip artist and it will just stop playing overall but it doesn't happen all the time I'd say 3/5 times.

Well if your using abso (yeah I'm on the team over here) then you one of the first to report such an issue that I know of. If you wouldn't mine, please repost in the Absolution Q&A and we can get more minds on this.
Me personally on abso I have used power amp (my fav), stock player, several others, and Google music. It all works perfectly.

Okay I'm on the app ill try to navigate over to there but I wouldn't have thought this as a rom issue but who knows ill try out power amp as well. I am just unsure bc if its a hardware issue then a sensor must be off because just playing through the speakers I don't have problems... ill try Pandora radio today in the car and if it is still acting up ill take it to the Q&A thanks again man

The problem has something to do with your headphones. Jacks can be loose and the phone really doesn't like headphones that doesn't have the extra band on the plug for the mic.
My 2 suggestions are to either use headphones with a mic or install "Headset Blocker" by Roadkill from the Market. It is free and will block those signals telling your music to fast forward or skip to the next track.
I will take a look onto that... I am useing skullcandies and know its not them Haha but the have the second band I will try the app and report back

Well they don't have a mic do they? No you don't have the separate band for a mic.
Sorry about that I misread you saying extra band for a Mic -.- my apologies no they don't have a mic and neither does the male to male cable that I use in the car.

Whether it is a software or a hardware issue, it has always been a issue with the inspire and many other phones.
It is the mic band on your headset plug that is used to switch tracks or fast-forward songs on your phone. When using earphones that connection is now bridged with the ground connection already. Although the phone is supposed to detect headset/ headphones it does it poorly sometimes. So it could be the poor software or simple static bounces due to a loose jack that is causing this to happen.
Using headphones with a mic will isolate this connection and should stop the problem. You could pick up a mic adapter from ebay or any electronics shop that should do the trick too. Or simply use that app mentioned and it will turn the ability off to switch tracks or fast-forward. Or you could use a different music app that doesn't support that feature.
Well I tried it earlier with my headphones and didn't have a problem I also used car mode then went to my music when I was in the car yesterday and it worked so ill just keep the app mentioned always on thank-you guys so much

I only have that with Pandora but I'm not sure if its the phone or app because it is the ad free one posted in our themes and apps for the g2x.

Edit: after I said that I noticed it while watching YouTube videos and when cask forwarding a song in default music player
So I wonder if it's just the G2x, if it does it without voodoo, etc. What is the root hmmm
Are you also charging your phone at the same time? Car chargers tend to make the phone's audio jack all buzzy.

Apple airplay/bluetooth

Hey so I've been messing with two apps, hifi speaker and remote for itunes, to airplay stream music to my phone at home. I was also going to buy a new blue tooth speaker and was wondering if after getting the music streamed to the phone, turning on blue tooth will this then redirect the music to the speaker?
Also, is there an app to give my phone actual airplay capabilities, not just making my phone a receiver for airplay but letting me push music/video out over airplay?
Thanks.

Wait so what music source exactly do you use with this? You said that no rom redirects audio to Bluetooth, yet I find it hard to believe if I connect my phone to a speaker via Bluetooth and play music out of, say Power amp, that THAT wouldn't work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Using power amp only directs to certain BT frequency and when using the stock players it has always stopped when I try to swap to BT of course this is my experience u may have a more compatible BT device but this is just me u can try urself but this is what have found doesn't and hasn't worked
PS when I mean redirect I mean redirect the audio sound from the music player to the by device.

Jelly bean bugs and answers

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
