So for some reason my phone's sound won't work properly. It kept saying that my phone's SIM card could't be detected so i restarted. Then my volume button wouldn't stop decreasing. And now my speakers won't play. The only time I hear sound from it is when i raise my ringer volume up and down but then apparently NOTHING else will come out. YouTube videos will play but no sound will come out. Music will show up but no sound will come out. I can't even play my ring tones. Just that little sound that you get from increasing or decreasing ringer volume. I have no idea why this is happening and I've tried searching through Google and The Forums and i couldn't find one to my problem.
Go settings->sound->volume and turn up your media volume. You may have a larger problem than just that though so contact your carrier if you're still having problems with it.
Samsung Galaxy S2 - Virgin Mobile - Android 4.2 - Wild the Night ROM (CWM10.2?)
Whenever I play a song in PowerAmp and there is a soft part it will go completely silent until the louder parts come in. For example, David Bowie's Space Oddity starts off very very quiet with a guitar but when I'm playing it in Android the song starts "playing" like 30 seconds in when David Bowie starts to sing. I believe this isn't a PowerAmp issue as it's doing the same thing in the music app Apollo, on multiple different songs as well.
I've endlessly tried Googling and cannot find the answer. I've checked through all of the Gapless settings in PowerAmp and those are off, even though I don't think it's a PowerAmp issue.
My Galaxy S6 keeps randomly pausing music playback while I have it connected to the aux input in my car for no apparent reason. Phone is rooted on the stock AT&T Rom and has been restored via ODIN twice without any change. It did this before root as well without change. I have disabled nuplayer in the dev settings and tried resyncing my library multiple times thinking it was due to corrupted files. This clearly is a samsung issue and seems to be apparent with older generations of the Galaxy series as well. Does anyone have a fix? I can't imagine the rest of you are actually putting up with this bug on a $600 phone. It's really driving me nuts having to keep fiddling with the damn phone while I'm driving to unpause the music, raise the volume past the warning, just to do it again a few minutes later. Tried the stock music app as well as doubletwist, no changes. Could this be caused by some motion sensing feature that needs to be disabled?
So who here has a fix? Appreciate any tips or solutions. Thanks
I know I'm not the only one. Who knows the fix and wouldn't mind sharing? Thanks
Bump for info
I have a similar issue, as my Bluetooth earphones just stops playing music. The the strange thing is that my other pair of Bluetooth earphones work fine, and I've never had any issue with other Bluetooth media connections (including those in a car). It could be specific to your car.
I'm using Google Play Music.
Have you tried it with another system?

Do you guys happen to have the music pause gesture? Had this problem with the note 3 where video seems like it was lagging really bad but it was actually pausing and unpausing because of smart stay. Turned it off and it was perfect. It's probably a screen protector messing with the sensors for the gesture.

I faced this too.
This happened when i play music directly from the Widget. However if i open the app and play music, it didnt stop.
Hope this helps.
Blame the ****ty memory management that keeps killing apps.

OP, are you saying that when it pauses, it also resets the volume warning? Or was that just additional annoyance?
^^Combination of both. When playing music on the device via aux in my car, I have the phone set to max volume, then control volume output via my car. When using the stock music app, doubletwist, etc, the music will randomly pause playback for no reason while the screen is off while the phone sits in my lap untouched. Smart stay is off, and I'm running out of ideas honestly. Been listening to Pandora recently and haven't had issues in the past four days, so it's something with music playback for the device only. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
Maybe your cable is loose or has a bad connection on one end or the other? When you unplug headphones, music playback stops. Try using an app like Trigger or Tasker to make something happen on headphone unplug, such as launching a certain app or whatnot so that you'll know if the phone thinks it got unplugged.
Try clearing the cache of the music app ir use Cache Cleaner (downloadable from Playstore) to clean all cache. You can also try going to recovery mode to wipe cache.
Unfortunately I clear cache weekly, and am certain its not a connection issue. Are there additional touch or motion sensor other than the smart stay function (currently disabled) that could be triggering this?
I don't know what to tell you. Using aux is similar to plugging in via headphones and I've had no issues in that regard. I've had no problems with Bluetooth streaming either. In cases like this, it could be app interference or faulty hardware.

Is it only happening when you're using it in your car? What about with headphones or BT audio connections.
Do you have any sound effects enabled? I noticed that SoundAdapt really affected the performance of my phone, so it could be a factor.

I'm almost certain its some kind of gesture that is interfering. I don't use any of them and will gladly disable anything that could remotely cause this. I noticed the other night when my friend was driving my car, I was sitting in the passenger seat with my phone playing music through aux for at least an hour and no pausing whatsoever. I had the phone in my hand the entire time instead of near my leg sitting face up on my seat, which made me realize it must be some lockscreen gesture interfering. Any ideas?
Is the screen actually on? I don't know of any gestures that have an effect while the screen is off other than the one that makes the time display pop up, and I don't think that would cause music to pause.
There's a gesture that mutes if you put your hand over the sensors. Maybe it thinks that is getting tripped? But I don't know if that would cause the music to pause. Maybe try intentionally doing that gesture to see what effect it has?
If you think it's a gesture, just disable all of them and see if the problem clears up, then slowly reenable them to see when it breaks again.

Thanks. I will try that and let you know. I went ahead and disabled all of them. The screen is off btw when this happens.
I think it is because you are playing the music on full volume. I believe that the phone on some songs can't support the power output causing it to pause. Try instead playing it one level less than max. I noticed that this only happens with some songs specifically at max volume. This doesn't happen at a lower volume on these songs.
Galaxy s6 edge and s6 music pause or stop issue fixed
i had the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy s6 edge. music stops or pauses especially when i am using Soundcloud, pandora, Milk music player or Beatport.
but i fixed the issue .
First open the "Smart Manager" app and select battery.
Second select "details" and you should see most of the apps that uses more power.
Select "Cancel Auto stop" on the apps u want will be using especially your music app. if you don't want then to stop after sometime.
Thank you
Hope this solves ur problem
I am having this same problem on my S6 edge. Not rooted (first phone I haven't felt the need to root since the Evo).
It happens whether using connected headphones, bluetooth headphones, or in the car A2DP using the Google Music app, Pandora, or Slacker.
Was hypothesizing that notifications are causing the pauses. Would like to try the suggestion above but WHERE IS THE SMART MANAGER app?
Also, was wondering if anyone with the problem fooled around with the animation scale settings described here: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-s6-tips-and-tricks/4/ (under How to unlock Developer options)? Wondering if that is causing my/our problems.
Thanks,
Tony
I have the AT&T version of the S2 and the Note 5. Both are paired with my Motorola Boom bluetooth headset. Whenever I place or take a call from the S2, the stupid Samsung music player starts up through the headset as soon as I hang up the call. Does this happen to anyone else and what can I do to stop it from happening?

You somehow enabled the Muzak setting, which provides elevator music between calls.
Kidding aside, sounds like a bug in a feature... IF you are using the music player and a call comes in, it will automatically pause during the call, and then automatically resume when the call finishes.
I'm guessing the music player was "active" -- i.e. you had used it, and it was an active app but in the background, paused from when you had last paused it. After a call, the watch probably blindly sends out the "done with call" even to all active apps, and the music app simply starts playing again.
As a workaround, try bringing up Recent Apps (like many others, I've assigned the double-press of the home key to this function to get to it easily), and kill off the music player when you're not using it.
It was suggested in another thread to close all apps regularly to improve battery life. I've taken to doing this, especially after some apps that seem to be poorly designed in terms of memory usage, etc., and have seen meaningful gains in battery life.
Crossposted from LG G6 Q&A forum since that one is very quiet...
I've got a strange issue on my LG G6 with both the media and bluetooth volume periodically resetting.
I keep normal media volume at 0 and bluetooth volume maxed out. However periodically my phone will reset so that the media volume is maxed and bluetooth is at 50%. I've been trying to debug it messing with settings and removing apps, but so far with no luck.
Some details:
The reset occurs abruptly with the volume jumping from 0->max (media) and from max->50% (bluetooth). It is not a gradual change like something accidentally hitting the volume buttons.
They both change at the same time, usually when receiving a text message or unlocking the phone. The switch appears to be triggered by some app/setting while the phone is asleep and then it actually takes affect when something else (message/unlock) wakes the phone. Note that it doesn't change on every text or unlock.
The issue happens a couple of times per day (2-4ish) that I notice. There is no obvious association with anything like alarms going off or notifications appearing.
The change occurs both when something is actually playing (spotify, pocketcasts, youtube) or when nothing is playing. No obvious association with any specific media or media app's activity.
This is occuring on Android 8.0.0, the phone is the Amazon Prime version of the LG G6+: LGUS997U.
Any ideas for what might be causing it? Or tips for debugging it? The only thing I haven't done is hooked up the USB and tried to dig through logcat to find the issue, mainly because I'm not sure what to look for...
