Hi there, just got the phone last week. Forgive me if this question has been asked and answered before, but I did a search, and as far as I can tell this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307787
Is the only one I see, and its not really the problem I am having so far as I can tell. My problem is that when listening to music the sound cuts off for a couple seconds (sometimes much longer) and then starts again. The music doesn't stop playing, the headphones just seem like they turn off and then back on again. I've updated to the Feb AT&T Rom from the HTC website thinking that the reported bluethooth improvement might fix it. Its still doing it.
Is there something out there that I am missing, do I need to do the headphone firmware upgrade as stated in the linked topic, or something thats not set up right with my phone? Do these bluetooth headphone just not work right with it?
Thanks in advance for any help.
this is my first post. I tried looking for an answer to this without having to post a thread, but I failed... so i'm wondering if anyone can help.
the problem is just as the title suggests. I didn't realize this using stock 2.1, cognition 3.01 but after flashing to cognition 4.1 I realized my sms/call notifications come through both speaker and earphones when earphone is plugged in.
has it always been this way for the captivate? I could've sworn I didn't realize this while using cognition 3.01. I thought the notification sounds were only coming from the earphone when it's plugged in. I mean it makes sense right? if you're in the library listening to music on the captivate you expect it to ring notification ringtones through the earphone not the speaker.
thinking it was fine on stock 2.1, i went back and flashed back to stock and realized it did the same thing.
so yea my question is
1. is this the normal settings on the captivate/android?
2. is there a fix around this problem? (without having to set the phone to silent/vibrate while listening to music)
Yeah, I have the same problem with most of the ROMs here. Not sure if it's the same with the stock, but it does seem like a standard setting.
My only suggestion is to leave it on silent if you don't need it going off... It is a bit of a nuisance though!
it really is annoying. I could've sworn either 2.1update-1 or cog 3.01 didn't do this. i did find out some people prefer this setting for some reason. sigh.
Ok so I have the same problem. I was looking for a solution and was about to post a thread until I found this one. Like it was previously mentioned, I would like my notifications/ringtone go thru my earphones ONLY if I was to be in a library for example... Any suggestions...?
Sorry I don't know if it goes here or the apps section. Mods please move if i'm in the wrong section. But is there a way to keep the screen from coming on when using a wired headset to skip songs? I mostly use power amp and every time i skip a song the screen comes on, I've also tried the stock app and it does the same thing. Coming from an HTC phone that never happened. Is this a motorola thing or am I missing a setting? Thanks
Hi Forum,
I orginally posted this topic on the man Q and A board but it was buried quickly with no response. Perhaps this is a better venue to ask.
My phone is roughly a year old, and today I ran into a weird and potentially phone killing problem
I received a few phone calls from my girlfriend today, the ringer rang loud and clear, but I heard no sound from my ear piece. After a few "Hello?"s, I hung up thinking it was a bad connection. Upon seeing my girlfriend afterwards, she said she heard me on my end. So I got her to call me again and I tried to use speaker phone, and I could hear her fine.
Doing some research on google, I only ran across one other person who had this problem, and upon seeing this, I tested my music player, (as theirs didn't work), and mine doesn't work either
This other person said the problem resolved itself a day later.
In short, my ear piece has no sound during a phone call and my media sound doesn't work (though it works w/ headphones.) My notification sounds and speaker phone DO work, as well as my alarms
Do the notification and speaker phone speakers come from a different place than media and ear piece speakers?
Do I have a software issue? I tried the "push the speaker down" solution but to no avail
Should I wait like the other person?
Any suggestions?
Thanks forum!

I had nearly the same issue, except mine got to the point where the speaker phone didn't work either. Music played fine, phone calls stopped working. I went through a lengthy process of accidently deleting everything I had on my phone, which lead me to buy a USB Jig, install the stock ROM and it worked perfectly. I would suggest trying this before you try and physical fixes on your phone.
Thanks for the suggestion SGT_Watkins
I am an absolute noob when it comes to this stuff. So it took me a while to even figure out what you were saying
BUT, after a whole night of reading and flashing it WAS FIXED!!!
I am quite tempted to phone Samsung and give them a piece of my mind after they told me some hardware was defective even though they clearly weren't listening to what the problem was
Thank you again!
How did you solve this?
I have the EXACT same problem on my Galaxy Nexus. I've wiped it, tried different ROMs, kernels... Nothing solves it! It's like there's a persistent software problem that survives flashing and even battery pulls.
My phone had this same issue not long ago. It was after I had used some headphones for about an hour. I work in a paper converting factory, so I assume some dust was packed in the headphone jack and made the phone think something was plugged into it. I turned my phone upside down and used a paper clip to scrape it all out (compressed air may have been safer). After a few tries, all sounds were working properly again.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I was on ICS 4.0.4 RC2 and i inserted a 3.5mm jack as i was listening to some music. When i unpluged the Jack the sign on the notification bar didn't go then i got a call and the front and back speaker did not work. I also flashed CM 7.2 but no avail what should i do
Thread moved to Q & A section, post in the relevant section next time.
