[Q] Headphones shut off on screen timeout - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to keep headphone slot alive at all times? :\ I can't listen to music or do anything when the screen turns off.... 5-10 seconds later the headphones stop working...... can't use pandora, can't use Skype, can't use any application that uses sound unless the screen is on... wouldn't it be absurd to hold a screen wakelock just to be able to listen to music or use Skype, while the phone is in my pocket?

Running any roms???
kernels??
Any apps or task killers that may disable music once screen turn off??
details details details
with out details you wont get a straight answer
as for keeping the screen on.
have you checked you settings for a "stay awake" option?

ROM = Cyanogen 7.1.0
Kernel = Glitch v13.1
No task killers, no apps (that I know of) that should interfere with music/applications once screen goes off.
There is a "stay awake" option, but only if the phone is charging, need a more permanent fix.

Have you tried switching kernels or roms
to see if the problem persist??
try that the youll have your answer..
if not well it could be hardware issue..
give rom/kernel switching a try and see how it works

I have the same problem with my S3. Totally stock though. I'll be listening to music through the phone in my car (connected with the headphone jack) and as soon as the screen turns off, the music stops going through the jack. I'm running the 2x battery saver, no task killers, I'm usually listening to music through the stock music player.
BTW, sorry for bumping a year old thread, but I haven't found an answer for this yet.

If you own a S3, this should be posted in the S3 forum.
As for your problem, it could be from your battery saver app. Which probably closes everything while your screen is off. Unistall it and see if that helps.

[Q] Audio streaming problem with cm7

I wondered why CM7 does not allow the data stream, when the screen is off? With stock rom I could listen TuneIn- radio when screen is closed but CM7 stops stream as soon as the screen goes off. I do not use any battery or memory management programs. just pure CM7.

Answer to myself. The problem wasn't in CM7. The problem was Smartass governor. When smartass is on Tunein-radio stops streming when screen turns off. Spotify stream doesn't stop completely but it stutter a lot. Conservative works fine.

[Q] Turn automatic normalize off

I got an HTC One a month ago or so and I love it but an issue is really pissing me off, the music auto normalizes when the music is loud(Lowers the volume by about 30%). This is app independent and it's not done by the beats customization(I have that off). There has to be a way to stop this from happening. If there were an option to keep the volume normalized at all times I would do that, what bothers me is that in the best parts of the songs I like the volume goes down and I hate that inconsistency.

I've never heard this issue on my phone, but I only use spotify. Is this via the HTC Music app? If so maybe rename the htcmusicenhacer.apk in system/app? Not sure If thats what is doing it or thats just a dsp for the htc music apk.
It's on the play music app and power amp for me, but I'm pretty sure it's on all apps. Whenever it's on maximum volume. It happens on certain genres of music, drops and breakdowns are the ones who trigger it the most. I lowered the volume of the pre-amp on power amp and that stopped it, but there is no system wide sound limiter so the issue persists in play music.
next time, please post questions in the questions section
Moved thread.... If you put "[Q]" in the title chances are it does NOT belong in the general section....

Sorry about that, always had used general for all my questions before.
Anyways, in case others had the same problem, I took my phone to sprint and it turned out to be badly calibrated so it was producing much higher sound causing the volume to drop and caused distortion on calls as well. Apparently it's a possible bug with the latest update as I had not modified or installed any sound modifying app. After it was calibrated all the problems stopped. They also lowered the intensity of the haptic feedback, which was nice.
Thanks anyways.

[Q] Some issues with ME572C

I have not yet had this tablet for a week, and already I have discovered a few problems with it, that I am hopeful can be fixed.
1. No audio when making calls in Viber. The receiver can hear me fine, but I cannot hear them, or even the ringing for that matter.
2. Unable to answer incoming calls in Viber. I slide the circle to the right to answer, but nothing happens.
3. Pandora Radio stops streaming after about 30 seconds of the screen turning off, or the current song ending.
4. Slacker Radio stops streaming after about 30 seconds of the screen turning off, or the current song ending.
Regarding issues 3 and 4, I do have WIFI set to stay on during sleep and the WIFI optimization is turned off.
Anybody else having these issues?
Any suggestions to try and eliminate them?
I don't know about 1 and 2, but 3 and 4..
Yes, not only pandora, but also spotify. I think there is an issue with deep sleep and streaming. I almost want to say that you need to stream out bluetooth while connected to wifi to have it happen a lot.
The workaround for me was to activate one of the daydream modes. I think this only helps if your plugged in (charging). However, no more music dropouts.

I agree. It is deep sleeping when it should not be. I will give your solution a try and see it it works for me.

Have you disabled the smart saving features completely? I had an issue where it was losing a connection with a different app, and it improved when I disabled the smart saver feature.

I was just using google play music and was streaming from my collection the other day and did not have this problem, I don't normally use the two services that you listed. I may try one later today or tomorrow to see if I can reproduce what you are seeing...
I am chasing a problem with the tablet becoming non-responsive to the touch screen occasionally. Typically it does still respond to the buttons when this happens and I can push the power button to turn the screen off and then back on to make the screen get responsive again. I have started removing certain software to see if it causes my issue to go away...
Intel android seems to still have a few "teething" issues however my ME572C sure is a nice little tablet...
Added later:
I have a set of apps that I have yet to narrow down the cause but after removing them my screen response issue appears to be gone...
I just tested Slacker Radio and I have in the Power Saver app disabled power saving completely and did not disconnect. I am running the latest Asus software on my ME572C which ends in 31.
Has anyone had problems with the volume rocker. I just got mine yesterday and it will turn the volume up, just not down... Weird. But other than that everything is good and the lollipop update rocks!

Listening music / Music player issue

I've just realised that stereo+ feature (Settings/sound) "switches off" as soon as the screen turns off. It is a useful option when listening music indeed. Normally, I put down my phone horizontally into a holder while listening music, but it becomes useless when the screen is turned off. How ridiculous. What's wrong with huawei's software engineers?? Also the Bluetooth volume is a joke as well as the lack of a proper equaliser. Without an attached headphone the eq cannot be used.... Really annoying and I hope it will be resolved by the next software update. (along with the lot of minor bugs/issues)

That's crazy, I do alot of listening with no screen on.
Mine doesn't do that when the screen goes off when listening using Spotify.

Youtube Music suddenly runs without any interaction

Hello everybody,
First of all : Happy new year !
I own a Pixel 4 XL running a stock ROM with the bootloader still locked (I actually don't flash my phones anymore since I'm a team Pixel member haha). I use Android Auto very often because of my job.
Here is my problem : Since the december update (I guess) when I disconnect my phone from my car (using the cable & bluetooth), and put my phone in my pocket, the song from the last music suddenly runs very loud (max volume) even if I manually stop the music player beforehand. I tried a lot of things to stop this problem that seems very random : I cleared the YT Music cache, I disabled motion sense gestures, I even did a factory reset but the problem is still here.
I have to think every time I get out of my car to low the volume before this bug comes out..
Have you encountered that problem ? Do you guys have any idea that could help me ?
Thanks in advance !
Nobody can help me ?
I don't know, what does team Pixel say?
I don't think there is a solution and you aren't alone. I don't use YT for audio, but all music apps have the same pain in the ass behavior because they don't close automatically and most often you have to use "recents" to kill them off. This is the same with Spotify and Pandora. I find myself having to close AA itself sometimes because it stays open long after I've left the car. Sometimes 20 minutes later I look down and notice it is still running. If it can start up automatically when BT connects, or even when "hearing" driving noises like the engine, the reverse should be true. You turn the car off, unplug, exit the vehicle WHY does it continue running? Not one of the top 3 music apps will kill itself.
Thanks for answering !
I actually didn't know anyone else would have the same problem so this is reassuring me hah
Yes that is so annoying having your phone waking up with music with the volume toaximum whereas 10 minutes ago you thought you did everything to shut it up
I think I've had this happen literally once and I do use YouTube Music. Have never had it replicated. Is it still happening with the happened with the January update?

Unfortunately, yes it still happens despite the last update. The only thing that seems help me avoiding the problem is when I manually stop the music in my car before unplugging the phone. Then, for safety I put the media volume to the minimum so if the music starts again in my pocket, I won't hear it.

Interesting, so you're connected via Bluetooth to your car, turn off the ignition, and it'll still be playing? At that point, that's when my YouTube Music pauses.

Actually no. I plug my P4XL to my car through USB then it connects via Bluetooth and Android Auto runs on my car's screen. Everything work fine. When I'm arrived, I unplug my phone, turn of the ignition and the sound normally stops and YTM pauses. But something like 10 minutes later, when I'm far from the car, the last song I was playing in the car restart through the phone with absolutely no interaction on it.

I have a similar problem. I drive a lot throughout the day and Stream SiriusXM on my Phone through the BT on my work van. Very often, I get out and within an unspecified period of time, Sirius will start playing, full volume for no reason. It's as annoying as the Google Assistant suddenly responding to something I said without me using the OK Google prompt.
The fix is to close Sirius and swipe away the player controls in the status bar dropdown

Thanks for your feedback ! I don't have the Google Assistant problem you have but the exact same problem for the media. So it's not due to YT Music or Sirius. It's an overall media problem.
Unfortunately, I can't close the app because when I unplug the phone, YouTube Music isn't even open. And swiping right the player controls doesn't seem to work.
The only thing that seems to work is to stop the stream through Android Auto before turning off the engine and unplugging. But I have to think every time I leave my car

I haven't tried stopping it before I turn off the van, but that's an idea. I think when I turn off the engine, it pauses the stream on the device, sure, but what causes it to just start playing again??
TBH, that and the random dead spots around the edges of my phone since Android 11, I'm getting a little aggravated.

I absolutely don't know what causes it to start the music again. But closing it before turning off the engine and then force closing the streaming app does help. That way, the phone has nothing to turn back on
Regarding the dead spots since the update I don't have this problem... Yet. But yeah, Android 11 is one of the worst major update the past few years. Hope they will fix these problems soon.

Yes I already tried but the support didn't even seem to understand the real problem. We were speaking in my native language though. Seems like french support sucks
