I have a Sony XPLOD MEX-BT...something something and the music streaming is great when my phone is running GB, but under ICS, any rom I use the music streaming is rubish, and if I unlock the phone and do anything with it whilst it's playing music via a2dp the volume jumps about up and down until I lock the phone and put it down again. I do not experience the same issues when I pair it with a car at work (Toyota Yaris) it seems to be able to A2DP just fine with ICS, its really weird
Currently running Rum Float b4
Anyone else experience this?
There do seem to be problems with A2DP/AVCRP on ICS. Personally I have connectivity problems if the device attempts to initiate the connection with the phone instead of vice versa. See also http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28347
AVCRP I don't really care about, I have my phone on a windscreen mount for GPS and I can leave it on the media player if I really want to see that, I just really want the music to not skip like I'm jogging with a DiscMan
I'm using the same Sony with Bluetooth running dark raider 1.5.2 and I use it everyday works awesome I'm using launcherpro with slacker radio or doubletwist my car has a good sound system and I can crank it up with no issues I use avcrp too
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Ive got the same issue.
Have an Alpine CDE-133bt. Phone will either connect to media or phone mode only...not both...WTF
Of course in the focus i have with sync i dont have this issue...but the audio skips once in a while...ics screwed something up.
I was able to fix the issue following this method:

Temptation to root... rising! Best reason to yet.
(Just wondering where it stands in terms of warranty in the UK- whether it's the common sense "if you break it in the process it's your problem" or the rumoured "warranty gone no matter what" that has been reported elsewhere)
I've had a similar problem with Pandora and a bluetooth headset. After some amount of time, the playback seems to pause very briefly about once a second. Turning off WiFi (with mobile data off too) makes the problem disappear instantly, and it does not come back for a minute or two.
Sometimes I get a "Bluetooth headset connected" toast message, and the icon changes appropriately, but the headphones don't appear in the "Paired devices" list and the audio plays through the phone's speaker.
These same headphones worked great with my Aria (CM7.1, 7.2 nightly) and an old Evo 4 (CM7.1).
I've been a little reluctant to root, but this sort of thing will help make the decision.
Its silly not to root....just say'n
I reported this to HTC, and got this response. So far, it's improved...
HTC said:
To wipe the cache partition you will need to get to the recovery menu by way of the factory reset menu. You will not be performing a factory reset, and none of your data will be lost as a part of this particular wipe. To get to the factory reset menu, perform the following steps:
1. Turn your phone all the way off and remove then reinsert the battery.
2. With the phone off, press and hold the Volume Down button and while you have this held in, briefly press the Power button just long enough for the device to respond (keep the Volume key held in). The phone will display a white screen with three green androids across the bottom on skateboards. When you see this screen you can release both buttons.
3. On this screen, use the Volume Down button to highlight the RECOVERY option, then press Power to select it.
At this point the phone should reboot, but go to a black screen with a picture of the phone on it and a red triangle. When you get to this screen, do the following to pull up the recovery menu and perform the following:
1. Hold Volume Up and press Power briefly and the recovery menu should appear.
2. In this menu, use Volume Down to highlight the "Wipe cache partition" option, Then Power to select it. The cache wipe will take about thirty seconds to one minute, maybe longer.
3. Once the wipe is complete it will take you back to the recovery menu. Press Power to select "Reboot system now" this option and the phone will boot up like normal.

I didn't know the stock recovery had a menu.
Edit: It worked for a while, but started skipping again.
Maybe if we all lodge a case about this they'll fix it an push out an update?
I went to the beach recently with the Xperia Z1 C6903, and after coming back from the beach, the camera on the phone keeps on opening by itself.
I then decided to reboot my phone, through using the power off, turning it back on method, only to discover my phone is now in "safe mode", which disabled me from using my third party apps.
I then proceeded to search the web for a solution; using the clear cache (volume up + power button), and the red button inside the sim card slot, to which none of them worked.
After this, the phone sometimes cannot operate correctly, as the power button is sometimes disabled (as well as the volume down button). The power button issue can be fixed through the red button inside the sim card, however the volume down button does not seem to work.
I tried factory reset, nothing seemed to have happen apart from me losing all my data and apps.
I tried to flash the stock rom, which I have in place on my phone atm, again, through flashtool, but did not seem to get an answer as safe mode is still on, and the volume down button seems to be dead.
Upon further investigation, I realised that the camera function is also affected by the safe mode, as the camera cannot focus on objects, and the camera button on the Z1 is working, but cannot take a picture (can semi-press and use camera's flash via this way).
I am now leaving my phone to dry, assuming that there is still water inside the phone which is preventing the normal function of the volume down button as well as the camera (and sometimes the power) button.
If anyone has a solution, please respond, and :fingers-crossed: I may have this fixed without going to the Sony service store.
Never take phone to beach...Salt +metal= you know the combo
Try to flash full FTF to see if the software is the problems or just open the phone
Or send it to Sony..........
Shutdown the normal way, then turn on.
Safe mode will disappear.
Never heard that the phone were stuck in safe mode even after a full wipe.
i have the exact same issue ,is there any solution please ?
Same exact problem
I have exactly the same problem, if there is any way to help please post it.
Hey,
so I was running cm13 (some version from november) and i wanted to go back to zui so i restored a backup that i created when i first got the phone. i booted into twrp, pressed on restore and selected my backup. after waiting for the backup to restore i saw that the process failed. then i pressed on the return to system or whatever button and now my phone wont boot anymore. when i hold power it just vibrates and the notification led flashes once. when i plug it in to charge the notification led doesnt light up. also when connecting it to my pc it is recognized (sound when you plug something in/out) but its not recognized as a phone or storage. what do i do?
Hi,
small question.
Did you do a full wipe?
Please delete system and data partition.
Because you come from cm13 to stock.
Are you able to enter fastboot? Press and hold volume down button and then hold the power button. Alternatively if your phone is off just unplug it and leave it for a few minutes, then whilst holding just the volume down button plug it into your PC and then check with "fastboot devices" in your terminal (I'm assuming that you do have adb and fastboot tools on your phone since you had a custom ROM).
@djsven I just went into twrp and tried to restore my back up not more not less. I cant delete the data and system partition as my device isnt turning on and my pc doesnt recognize the phone as a storage device.
@Uivalf39 by holding volume down and power button i cant enter. all it did was vibrate + led flash. I think its on 0% power now because holding power now just makes the led flash once (no vibration anymore). can you tell me what exactly you mean by "check with "fastboot devices"".
thanks to everyone trying to help

You'll first need to install adb and fastboot tools, as well as drivers for the phone and google utilities. I assume you already have these since you must have unlocked your phone and flashed twrp to install CM13.
Sending the "fastboot devices" command through an adb/fastboot enabled terminal will show you if your phone is fastboot-enabled. Your phone is bricked, the only way to go back to the original software is to follow the guide (available both here and on zukfans), TWRP backup won't work with stock ROMs.
Don't worry though, you should be able to recover it, but it'll be a lot of trial and error.
Have a read through here and here and here, seems like a lot of good troubleshooting material for bricked devices.
Let us know how you get on.
My phone was recognized as QUSB_BULK in device manager. i installed qhsusb drivers and now its in ports and its called "qualcomm hs-usb diagnostics 900e (com10)". trying to find out what to do now.

Oh dear, from the stuff I found on Google, it sounds like you'll have to disconnect the battery to force the phone to shut down everything before carrying on.
Check out this thread on zukfans, specifically these comments: [1] [2]
This is the danger of having phones with non-removable batteries. Sounds like you might have to remove the back glass, shouldn't be TOO difficult, looks like it's just glued down without any clasps so you'll need a heat gun (hair dryer should do). Here is a guide on doing that.
If you do end up doing that, would you be willing to film it and upload it to YouTube afterwards? I can't find any video of such a feat and it would be useful for anyone else who needs to do that. Maybe even add some comments of whether there are any clasps, how long you had to heat it up, etc.
In the past I've been successful in unbricking my phones by draining them until the battery protection circuitry wouldn't allow for any more power to be drawn. This would roughly be equivalent to unplugging the battery so it might work for you depending what the phone is currently doing. If the screen comes on then you should be able to drain it, if only your notification light flashes then it's a fool's errand.
NB: The zukfans poster's step 1 was to fully charge your phone as you'll need full battery for the solution. What I described above will probably not work but there's always multiple solutions to every problem and if you're weary of removing the back you can try that, don't hold me on this, but I it shouldn't do any damage.
@Uivalf39
I managed to remove the battery connector. after putting it back in and now im trying to do the sequence i still dont understand because of bad phrasing (hold vol up then hold power then after 0.5s plug usb in? hold vol up hold power for 0.5s after plugging in? idk). all i now get is a slow flashing led when connecting it to anything via usb no matter what i press. i dont even know if its charging

After doing that, what do you have on device manager? Is it still as before with the 900e?
Alright, so from what I understand it goes something like this:
Unplug battery connector
Wait 10-15 seconds with the connector unplugged
Plug back battery connector
Press and HOLD volume up button
Whilst holding volume up press power button and hold it down
After 0.5s of holding power button plug in the usb (connected to the PC) - still keep holding the volume up and power button
Keep holding volume up and power button, and the ZUK logo should pop on the screen and phone should vibrate
Now release buttons and your phone should appear in device manager as port 9008
How did you find removing the glass back? How did you do it and how difficult would you say it was?
@Uivalf39 Im pretty sure im getting the timing right but all i get is a slowly flashing nofication led. no vibration and no logo. also my device doesnt get recognized at all on my pc i cant find it in device manager.
removing the back was pretty easy i just heated the 3 corners (the ones without a camera) on max for like 2 min each with a hair dryer. then i pushed in a plectrum and went around the edges with it.
@mdeoinko That's really strange, maybe we'll need to think a bit outside the box. What version of Windows are you using? Do you have the qualcomm/zuk/google drivers installed properly?
Here's one comment that might be useful.
Also, Francko from zukfans (main ROM guy so I guess he knows his stuff) did some trickery with the USB cable, not entirely sure what it is and how it works, but it looks like it does so you might want to look into this.
I'd say that you should maybe post to zukfans, you'll get more help there.
Godspeed my son!
@Uivalf39 damn i completely forgot about modifieng the cable brb hopefully i can fix it now
@mdeoinko
Hiya, any update? Hoping that your lack of posts means that you solved the issue and no longer need help. If so, could you post here what you did to solve it? Such that anyone else with this issue that comes across this thread might know what works and what doesn't.
Cheers!
i need help, cant signup into zukfans giving error as spam activity, cant go into 9008 mode, tried everything accept removing back of the fone. any guesses...
Here's a quick reference for how to reboot and reset your 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (SM-T510/T515) using the hardware buttons:
Force restart:
- If your device is frozen and unresponsive, press and hold the Volume Down + Power keys simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to restart it.
Boot to Recovery Mode:
- Power off the device
- Press and hold the Volume Up + Power keys at the same time.
- Release both keys when you see Recovery Mode.
Boot to Download Mode:
- Disconnect the USB cable
- Power off the device
- Press and hold the Volume Down + Volume Up keys
- Insert the USB cable
Boot to Safe Mode:
- Power off the device
- Press and hold the Power key.
- When the boot logo appears, release the Power key and then press and hold the Volume Down key.
- Continue to hold the Volume Down key until the device finishes restarting.
- Safe Mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Since there is no Bixby button, these combinations are different than the Galaxy S10. If you know of additional combinations, please contribute to the discussion below and I'll consolidate here.
If there’s no response on your device or you're stuck in a boot loop, then you might need to wait for the battery to drain. The 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 has a non-removable battery pack, so disconnecting that isn't an option. Hopefully, the system reverts to its normal function with a cold boot. This can take time if the battery has high charge left at time of failure. Depending on how fast your battery drains, this can mean waiting for a few hours to several days.
UPDATE: With the right timing, you can break out of a boot loop into Download Mode...but it's tricky:
Insert USB Type C cable connected to your PC
Press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys for exactly 7 seconds (hard reset)
Release the Power key and press and hold both Volume Up & Down keys (enter Download Mode)
If you don't see the blue bootloader unlock warning screen, keep repeating the above two steps
The trick here is that you're trying to time your switch to the Download Mode keys for the exact moment the hard reset takes effect. If you see the boot logo while still holding the first key combination, it's too late. If you switch too early, you won't trigger the hard reset.

Thanks, that was an error in my initial post. I was figuring these out by trial and error, but it turns out that our hard resets are basically the same as for the Galaxy M30, which also uses the Exynos 7904 SoC and has no Bixby key.

UPDATE: Also the same as for the Galaxy A30 and some others.

Yes, I did the same way
US version
1. Enable OEM Unlock
2. Turn the tablet off and unplug the cable
3. Press and hold both volume up and volume down buttons and plug USB cable to host computer
4. You will get wipe screen. Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader.
Now I have to find matching ROM and patch the boot.img and flash.
I believe you have to disable Vault Keeper to keep root intact.
Brand new out the box 11am this morning.
Opened the parcel cool no damage. Powered up fine, had a mess with it, no problems check the speakers were fine and no issues plugged it on charge to 100% took it off and left it for an hour or so, went back to it and physically used it to use Facebook and play candy crush cool no problems. Took a few photos and no problems again. Put it on the side still on near 90% and went back to it 30 minutes later completely off and won’t turn back on, tried charging it nothing no sign of life, tried rebooting it and still nothing. Please tell me that this is not the end and I need to get a replacement... ?*

I’ve not even been able to get it back on, I’ve attemp a reboot countless of times and still nothing rectifys it. I spoke with Samsung they feel it’s a major fault with the tablet and have told me to request a replacement from my provider or even a refund.

Ay, thanks i finally got it into download mode, it gave an error at the top left like kernel rev check fail or smth, it was boot looping and with this trick i got it into the bootloader imma flash stock again, THANKS AGAIN!
I cannot boot in to recovery mode. Volume up & power key won't work (cable is not helping). Any idea?
Timing is everything. Relax... I hit reboot and once the screen flashes off hold the volume up button until the menu comes up.
Won't work. I did try this so many times.
Try this:
Power down the smartphone.
Then wait a few seconds for it to completely shut down. ...
Now press and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons at the same time.
And continue holding these two buttons down even after the Galaxy S21 starts to boot back up.
Not working... I don't know what is wrong.

Unplug the cable if you haven't.
Did you toggle on Developer options?
Try turn it off.
Turned developer options off still no luck. Weird.
If your timing is off with the button push it will do that. Sometimes it takes one time, sometimes 2 or 3. Don't power off; hit restart. Before it starts to boot have the volume up button depressed.

I gave up. I am going to shi...y Samsung Store tomorrow to do this. It is unbelievable. All my browsers lags and I cannot simply clear a cache. Every day I am regretting swap from 1+8 pro. I thought Samsung changed since I had s8 but no - it is even more laggy, bloated. They do and sell the best hardware but simply have no clue about software optimisation. Thanks all for help
I can assure that clearing cache partition will have zero impact to your issues.
Why are you so certain the cache partition is the answer?

Saying it won't work is impossible to predict. If it does work, and many times it does, the issue is gone... a cheap but good trick.
Clearing the system cache is part of the light maintenance I do or when odd behavior occurs.

I'd like to do this before wiping whole phone and re-setup 20x2FA authenticators. It can be dns, webview and much more. So I believe it is good idea start from clearing cache partition
I couldn't get it to work either, until I had the usb cable connected to my laptop - then it was able to boot in to recovery mode and let me clear the cache.
I tried it just with the cable in the phone, the cable in the charger and the phone, no cable and the only way it worked was with the cable connected to laptop and phone with the laptop powered on.
Odd!

Maybe a firmware, C port PCB or mobo issue.

Try this:
Power down the smartphone.
Connect the phone with PC or laptop via USB cable OR while your phone is closed connect a type c USB memory stick.
Now press first Volume Up button and then the Power button (don't leave the Volume Up button)
And continue holding these two buttons down even after the Galaxy S21 starts to boot up.
You will see the recovery options to your screen.

Only the power button is active at all times.
The volume up/down inputs are only active when as/after the phone is/has been powered on.
