[Q] Stock S5 L Call rejection triggers music player - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey big brains. Need a little help.
Galaxy S5, completely stock, unrooted.
I have people who call me whom I don't want to speak to. The national do-not-call list is a joke. Using the stock call rejection list, every time the phone gets a phone call from someone on the list, it rejects the call just fine. But, then it opens the stock music player and then starts playing random sounds. This is most disconcerting at 3 am when this thing plays all my custom ring tones back to back to back, waking me up.
I searched the forums, found nothing relating to my issue. Has anyone else encountered this?
I tried disabling the stock music player as I use Google's Play Music app exclusively for songs and Ringdroid for custom ringtone playback. Thusly, the stock player can't be removed and can't be disabled without root. Not really trying to root the device as it's still under hardware warranty with Sprint and rooting would nullify that.
If no fix for this glitch, I would take suggestions for a call rejecting application, like Call Control as a workaround. Unfortunately at this time Call Control specifically does not compute with Android L. This was my workaround in 4.4.4.
Help???

I just rejected a call and no music app opened up

Not quite what I'm talking about. I have numbers on my auto reject list. When I get a call from one of those, it opens the music player.
NOT when I swipe the red arrow to not answer. Sorry for the confusion.

Ohh well let me check that then

After adding my wife to my call rejection list and calling myself from her phone it still didnt trigger the music app or any map for that matter. Confirmed that it does show as a rejected call in the call log as well.
I would Odin OA6 and see if that fixes your problem

Pausing music for notification -_-

I'm sure this has been asked a hundred times but I can't find anything on it.
Is there any possible way to receive a notification without pausing the music?
I switched from iPhone when this phone released and my iPhone would lower the music for a notification rather pause it.
I was wondering if there was any way to do this with the infuse?
Its pretty annoying having it pause every time I receive a text.
Someone helpppp <3

[Q] Asus TF101 Problem with Google+ Hangouts

As we all know, Google updated their Google+ app to include the ability to start and join mobile hangouts from within the messenger portion of the Google+ app. And the good news is that I can get in to the video chats. I can hear the other person talking and everything. The only thing that is bad is that the other people cannot hear me. When I check the little microphone icon in the bottom left to see if maybe I have it disabled, it seems that it is by default set to disabled and I cannot change it. I double checked to see if my microphone was faulty but the sound recorder app works fine. Anyone have any resolutions? I've been searching the internet up and down and can't find anything.
I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem but I hope not and hope someone can help.
Nothing? I'm desperate here...

I've also experienced this Google + Hangout bug with the TF101 Asus Transformer but have discovered a work around.
During the "Check your hair" screen, before entering a Hangout, click the mic icon to mute, then enter the hangout. Once in the hangout you regain the ability to unmute the mic by pressing on the mic icon again.
Very odd bug. Thought my mic was broken so tried a ton of tests.
I am so happy that it can be "fixed" by something so simple. you are awesome!
I got the same problem since the TF101 auto update.
I have no video on the TF101 when hangout. Audio works fine always, and people can see me, but I see nobody and just can hear them.
I have Revolver Rom, I'll give a try to another roms to see it...

(Q) volume "jumping"?

I don't really know what else to call it but I haven't seen anyone else mention it. Whenever I have music running, at random when I touch the screen, lock/unlock/wake up my phone, or open an app, there will be a really quick high spike in the volume. It happens with the stock music player, power amp, and n7player. Anyone got an idea of what's going on or ever experienced it?

Have you installed Music Volume EQ? It happens if you close that application.

Do you have tones enabled?
In PowerAmp somewhere in the options theres something about loose focus to other players can't remember exactly but that should be disabled also DVC should be on if not.

Is that the EQ that comes with the stock player? If so, then yes.

I usually keep my phone on vibrate when I listen to music just because I get annoyed when I get a text and the tone blocks the song out for a second or three. I'll play around with poweramp and see what happens!
Has anyone else experienced this?

Notification sounds stop disrupt media playback

Currently notification sounds stop the music playback (beats on/off doesn't matter). Is there a way to stop it from doing that? I feel like when I initially got it (1.83 I think) it didn't use to, but since then I have moved on, so I don't remember.
Has anyone found a way to make it stop doing that? The only work around I found is to mute the ringer volume first and then start playing audio.

the notification sound is doing what it is suppose too, you can mute or disable notification sounds then your audio will not be stopped down side would be you will have to check your phone for text, emails etc.
Really? In my previous phone it would mix in nicely with the notification being lost than the music. That way the music wouldn't cut out completely.

The music cuts out during notifications on the stock ROMs (1.73 and 1.85) same as for all 3 HTC Android devices I've owned.
If it blended in to the music, you might not notice it, depending on the volume and ringtone used.
Just turn the ringer volume down. I wouldn't mind it except it doesn't pause the music so there is a few second gap in the song.
Ah. I see. This is my first HTC android.
Thanks

Google Play Music Skips

I'll start with this:
I'm on build 20 of klin1344's PACman rom
Newest version of Play Music
AC!D sound mod installed
-if I recall correctly my issue existed before I installed acid.
What I've been experiencing is skipping while playing music through be play music app. Not skipping as though it's struggling to buffer, but whenever I tap the screen, within as well as outside of the app. The issue isn't new to today's update, as it's been a problem I've always dealt with. It also doesn't have anything to do with streaming music vs playing music stored on the device, skips while tapping occur regardless.
I've searched around to no avail, so I do hope one of you can be of assistance.
Thanks

I have had this issue since I got my S3 a few weeks ago too. When I unlock my phone, type in password, or otherwise click the screen, the music skips.
This even happens when I am using Spotify to play music.
EDIT: BTW I am on AOKP ROM.
I failed to mention that poweramp runs smooth as a baby's bottom. Not the case with play music.

I have the same problem like it will return to the lock screen and then the Google music widget and the camera widget like combined and start flickering. this is when playing a song stored on the device as well as the new Google music access they came out with. Mine just pauses forever though and its annoying. I also have power amp and it works beautifully. this happens whether I'm on WiFi or cell data. Good thing this is a free 30 day trial!

I actually did end up figuring out what was wrong. A simple disabling of the system touch sounds and you're good to go. It was trying to compensate for the sound at the same time as playing the music, like when you get a text message it lowers the volume, plays the notification sound, and resumes at normal volume.
Jwattt I don't know why that happens, but it also happens to me. Weird.

I'm currently running liquidsmooth 2.4 on 4.2.2 android and there is no system touch sounds option. I believe this is only for touchwiz roms? I think my problem is something to do with how the widget is handled on the lockscreen. I know it's not just this rom too because I switched from MROM and before that deviant xone and since they are all pretty much based of Cyanogenmod I think it's some kind of mis match somewhere.

I had this problem as well and turning off the lock screen widget fixed it.
