i just bought an external charger, it works wonderfully with all my devices except my s3 mini. when i plug it in, it does not start charging, but instead it starts playing a random song! so i thought it might be a glitchy music app, so i uninstalled it, and tried again. it opened the system music app and started playing music. if i leave the charger in, and close the music app, it still does not charge, but after about 10 seconds thre music starts again, i rebooted, and tried again. same results. please someone tell me what the issue is im really upset that my brand new charger dosent work on my main device!!!
my rom is cm11 from novafusion, but the same thing also happened on the stock rom.
Thats funny!
Maybe if you use Tasker it can help you disable the music, I do not think that will enable charging though. Have you tried with a different charger? What happens when you plug it into a computer?

All,
I noticed a couple possible defects after upgrading to 3.1 manually.
1. When playing audio from certain applications (XMP for Android for instance) The Audio cuts out shortly after the screen turns off, and then halts for a period of time before coming back shortly, then cuts out again.
2. Once you turn the screen back on, there is a distinct crackling in the audio.
Workaround:
1. Turn screen back on (get the crackling)
2. Unplug the 3.5mm audio jack
3. Play music from the speakers
4. Plug back in the 3.5mm audio jack
Anyone else seeing these issues with other audio applications?
Yep, I had the crackling and long pauses start happening today after the FOTA update.
Seems to happen (more often?) when applications interrupt an audio stream. For instance, listening to music and get an IM or email.
Yeah I had issues with this as well afer updating to 3.1...I saw in another thread that doing a "hard reboot" will fix the issue and has seemed to work for me so far. Hold the power button down for 10-15 sec until the unit reboots.
same problem
I have the same problem as well. The audio stops functioning properly when the screen times out or when I lock the device with the power button. The weird thing is that this behaviour is not consistent for all apps.
For example, "Music" stops only at the end of the song. From the "3.1 ROM issues" thread, other users are experiencing this as well. In contrast, in the apps "Listen" and "Audible", almost as soon as the screen goes off or I lock it, the audio stops, starting after some 30 seconds, halting again after 10 seconds. It repeats this cycle a few times and then stops completely. If I lit the screen by hitting the power button, the audio resumes with crackling noises as mentioned in the original posts.
Also, hard reset didn't work. I am tempted to do a factory reset except that I don't really know what's going on and I don't know if that'd fix it!
UPDATE: I found the following workaround solutions:
1- Winamp works flawlessly for songs, not a peep or hitch!
2- BeyondPod is working fairly well for podcasts. (It has paused once after 11 minutes so far.)
I did the fota update.
and I've the the crackling. Sucky.
me too. Hope they get an update out to fix this asap. Extremely annoying bug.
Would like to add I am also experiencing this issue although mine didn't start till a couple days after the update to 3.1. A hard reset works for a little while but the issue eventually presents itself again. Might be due to a caching issue with the music player?
Anyone try another music player?
I discovered the crackling noise problem last night.
At first I thought the FLAC songs were recorded from a dirty vinyl record.
I also discovered the problem where the Music app does not continue to the next song when listening with the screen turned off. How stupid is that.
These are two big problems that ASUS needs to address ASAP.
I am already annoyed by the pop sound when turning the Transformer on and whenever any sound to the speaker (Headphones are fine) is played after a long pause.
They must have used a really cheap sound chip in the Transformer.
Yes I can confirm the same problems with google listen. Have tried the hard reset but it doesn't really help very much. Things worked fine after the restart, but as soon as the screen turned off, then the audio paused, and began to crackle, then more pauses. It is almost as if some part of the system is in some sort of low power mode and is not able to feed the data at the required data rate...

I believe this could be exactly the problem. I have not yet gotten my TF, but looking forward to one greatly. However, I get exactly this problem on my Galaxy Tab 7" WHEN using setCPU to add a profile that scales the CPU down when screen is off. It sounds to me as if ASUS has added some sort of governer/scaling that does this. I could be wrong of course This is just based on reading, and personal experience

Yes. I get a lot of weird little problems with the Tab 7'' when setCPU scales clock speed down too far, including random reboots. I guess that's the sacrifice Asus made to give the TF such a tremendous battery life.

I don't know about "tremendous"
More like pretty good...
i can confirm that i have this issue using google music app. I previously purchased PowerAMP (arguably the best android music app) and no problems whatsoever when the screen goes off.
I do like the google music app as it seems like a truly lightweight player but its still in beta stage and needs a bit of work.
I just discovered something. The problem does not occur for my Transformer when the unit is plugged in!
So it must be power management problem, the question is how to fix it?
Hey guys, loving the xda forums btw, much love. I have a acer iconia a500 16gb, and same problem here:
Using Acer_a500_4.010.13_com_gen2
The default Music player is buggy and crashed fairly often, the audio stopping when screen turns off and stopping intermittently is also present on iconia with the default music player and the others as well.
The audio crackling is also present under same conditions.
To add insult to injury, sometimes when i connect a headphones the speakers dont turn off. And if i play with he "dolby mobile" settings, the sound on my headphones get really tinny untill i unplug the headphones and plug them back in, or i reboot the sys in some cases.
I just thought I should add to this thread that I have the same problems on my Acer Iconia A500. It consistently only finishes the song after I turn the screen off then it waits MINUTES to start the next song. I only occasionally have problems with the crackle sound. I had the crackling a lot when I first got it but it doesn't seem to happen as often any more. It doesn't seem to happen when I use doubleTwist but I really wish that the STOCK APPLICATION (which I like the best) would work...
Is there ANY way to fix this stuff? I mean even downgrading to like 3.0 or something. I like to use my tablet to play on my stereo system and I don't enjoy having to effing go back every time I want to play the next song. I also don't want to leave the screen on all the time and murder the battery.
I have the same thing happening on my A500 (running the ASUS PRIME ROM, though). When the screen turns off, anything audio related gets really skippy.
apparently there's some sort of setting build in for the cpu to underclock to the point of not being able to continue running the music application when the screen turns off. (that's me guessing it could be wrong) It always happens with stock music app though it didnt happen when in 3.0.
I installed winamp and doubletwist and both played nonstop.
Also i noticed that if you had music in your external sd and you open music app (also happened with winamp) and remove the sd the applications wont work anymore (thy always fc)unless you install the sd back (that is if you had your music library in the sd even if you also have it internally)
I tried moving the music to the internal storage but the error persist. the only way to get rid of it is formatting the tablet and passing the music to the tablet before running the apps. However if you install the sd and you happen to have music and music app open, youre screw again.
thats the error ive been having and im stuck with a 16gb sd in the tablet to hear music, (which i find it sucking cause my tablet is 32gb)
any suggestions?
My phone keeps restarting after listening to music for about 30 minutes. The time isn't consistent, sometimes I can listen to it all day, or today it crashed twice within a couple hours.
I'm currently running Humble 1.42 and PBJ 730, but this problem has been persistent across several versions of both.
No programs running in the background, I'm using the stock music player, plugged into a charger with an aux cable running to my stereo. It never happens on the same songs and after the crashes, I've gone back and replayed the song it crashes on just to see if it was a corrupt file and it wasn't. A song will be playing, then the sound will stop and the screen freezes for about 20 seconds then it restarts.
Any idea what causes this?
I have to say that the most annoying thing about the S6 are the stupid wireless charging notifications. They get crazy annoying once the battery is full. I use a wireless charging dock in my car and when I am streaming music, there is nothing better than having your music pause every two minutes to beep at you for the wireless charging notification. The phone hits 100% and interrupts the music to say the battery is full. 2 minutes later, the music is interrupted to say the wireless charging has restarted. The phone sometimes does the same thing through the night while I am trying to sleep. The screen lights up the room every 15 minutes or so. This is on a Samsung charger too. I would root my phone just to get rid of this notification if it were possible. Come on Samsung ..... kill this thing.
Yeah very annoying. I noticed this once at home. I'm glad you brought it up because I was thinking about making a wireless charging setup in my car but forget that!
Galaxy S6 (Verizon)
The only workaround that I have found is to run down you battery before connecting it to the wireless charger. Then once the battery is full, unplug the charger until the battery runs down a lot again. It defeats the simplicity of the wireless charging but at least your phone isn't beeping at you every couple minutes.
Now that root has been achieved, has anyone figured out how to disable the wireless charging notification? I used to be able to do it with Wanam Xposed module. I'm pretty sure that it is just a matter of finding the setting with SQL editor and changing it. I'm sure that I am not the only one annoyed by this notification.
Try using the App Don't pause. Works great for me.

I just tried the app and it sort of works. It just turns everything on mute when I start music. It does prevent the charging notification from interrupting the music, but it also mutes all other notifications and the ringer. It appear to have a setting to allow ringer volume adjustment independantly but it does not work for me. When I turn up the ringer volume, it just overrides me and turns it back down. I also had difficulty turning the app off. It's a great start if it were polished up a bit.
I'm hoping for a root fix to kill this wireless charging notification for good.
This is what I have done since the S3 to turn off the sound.
1. Make sure phone is rooted
2. Download any root browser
3. Browse to the wireless charging sound: system>media>audio>ui>Charger_Connection.ogg
4. Make sure file browser is set to read/write and not read only to be able to make changes.
4. Rename the file or extension (i used Charger_Connection.bak)
i ordered the new moto g 2015, a waterproof phone.
i got my phone a few days ago, unlocked the bootloader, rooted flashed xposed- the works. everything was working 100%.
i tested the waterproofing, works 100% as well, no problems at all. I had read somewhere that water still gets in under the back cover and that i should dry it after it gets wet. So i opened the back cover and there was some water, i dried it carefully and thoroughly.
The next day, everything was still working fine. I played music on speaker for a little bit, then someone put the phone in a few inches of water. (Yes the back cover was 100% sealed properly!) it was only underwater for 3 seconds or so, i took it out, dried it off, opened the back, dried that off as well, then tried to put my music back on.
It wouldnt work. i went to the youtube app, tried there with the same result. it was as if the volume was turned all the way down. naturally i tried turning it back up, but it was already at the top.
i rebooted, thinking it was just a little bug, but on powering on it still wouldnt work. at this point i'm starting to get worried, i test every app that i have that can play media:
Poweramp, youtube, quickpic, my video editor, stock gallery.
Nothing, its as if my speakers are physically broken. Then, the phone rings. rings, with sound. i pick up, but i cant hear the other person. I put the phone on speaker, and then i can hear them, but it quickly becomes apparent that he isnt hearing me. i toggle speaker a couple times, when its on i can hear him but he cant here me. when its off neither of us hears the other. i try speaking into google now- its as if i havent spoken.
By this time i get home, i try putting in earphones- music comes blasting out the earphones. i take em out- silence. i connect to a bluetooth speaker- works for music no problem.
I plug in my phone, it plays the sound i set it to play on charger connect/disconnect with gravity box. i unplug, it plays it again. I sent messages to a few people on various social media, and few moments later, whatsapp plays it's notification sound, facebook messenger vibrates but dosent play a sound, facebook plays a little sound, sms app plays its sound.
now i unplug my phone, no sound. i plug it in, still no sound. i just got a whatsapp message, with no sound.
As a last resort i test my alarm clock app. it plays its alarm, but very quietly. i try the stock alarm clock, same result: it plays out loud but much quieter than normal.
so to sum up:
notifications play, sometimes.
media does not play at all.
the phone ringer works.
i can only hear the other end when on speaker phone.
the other end cant hear me at all.
alarms play very quietly.
rebooting, disabling all xposed modules, wiping cache and dalvik from twrp have no effect.
Factory reset also has no effect.
What the actual hell is going on with my phone???
Ok im reporting back, it seems that doing a hard reboot (by pressing and holding the power.button for 15 seconds) did what a factory reset didnt.
Problem solved, Thank god ?
Hi all,
To begin, I'm running all stock software, unrooted, etc (HTC Sense 6, Android 5.0.1). I've been having a problem every time I stream music to my phone, and I can't find any relevant information or fixes regarding this. Basically, when I stream either through Pandora or Google Play, my phone starts to act real wacky. It lags when switching between apps, when trying to text (either through Textra or the stock app), or even just trying to navigate through the menus of said streaming program. It sometimes seems like it's misreading where I tap on the screen. For example, I go to hit the 'return' button, and the letter 'p' pops up. Weird things like that. I've been searching for awhile, but I can't find anything pertaining to this sort of thing. Anyone have any ideas? I would assume a phone of this caliber is more than capable of running a few programs at the same time. Thanks in advance!

Are you in the habit of streaming music with the charger plugged in? I sometimes get wonky behaviour when using it plugged in but but necessary when streaming music via Google play

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I've experimented with that actually, but I've unfortunately noticed no difference.
