I saw several posts about headphones, but none really described my problem I'm having (that I found).
Recently I noticed that my phone was not registering properly when the headphones were plugged in/unplugged. I first noticed one day after going for a run, I took out my headphones, and my music continued to play, just not through the speakers on the phone. I could not get anything to play through the phone speakers til I rebotted the phone. Then a couple days later I plugged in my headphones to listen to music, and it played it through the speakers. I unplugged/plugged them in several times trying to get it to register the headphones were plugged in, but it did not work til I again rebooted the phone.
Has anyone else had similar problems? And is there a way to fix it without replacing the phone?
My SGS stopped playing audio on the left channel today, happened all of a sudden. Music was playing fine, pressed pause, removed headset and an hour later i pop it back in and only hear audio from the left side. Tried reboot, factory reset, rom change etc. No luck so far.
I have never had this problem before, and it's quite devastating.
Any ideas, suggestions?

Yeah, well headset is about 2 years old, but I haven't had any problems with it so far. And I also tried it out on my home stereo where the same issue occured, where only the left speaker played audio.
I tried with a normal pair of headphones, where both sides worked well with my phone. They didn't have a microphone, so I'm guessing the problem is in that area.
Not really sure what to do.
I've had the axon pro since late February. A couple weeks ago the notifications, media, would go silent and the screen won't go off when I plug in headphones. When I turn the volume back up I can see the volume moving back down to silent. I updated the phone a few days ago and the problem still persists. I took a few of the apps that I added off to see if that was the issue but no luck. I still haven't factory reset the phone because I have a lot of music that I don't want to reload. Does anyone have any ideas or have been going through the same thing.
Fixed. It seems like it was the headphones that came with the phone. Idk why but a different set does not cause the same problem
Hey everyone,
I've been battling this issue since Day 1, and its been a bumpy road. It seems as though this is a widespread issue across many Android devices, and fixes range but none of them seem to completely eliminate it.
When connected to Bluetooth audio, certain devices, the audio stutters or "skips". Ive noticed this extensively in KItKat. One fix for rooted devices was to increase the idle CPU frequency, I did so with Tasker and it definitely suppressed the stuttering, but did not completely eliminate it.
One of the most notable points of stuttering is when you answer a call via Bluetooth, then hang up. After hanging up, and music resuming, there is a solid ~10-20 seconds of constant stuttering and skipping until playback returns to normal.
Imagine my surprise when I upgraded to 6.0.1, and had absolutely no stuttering without increase CPU frequency or anything! Just buttery-smooth playback, all the way through, even after hanging up a call.
However, a couple of weeks after, the issue came back again. I had to re-enable my task to increase idle CPU frequency, and that horrible stutter after hanging up a call is back, strong as ever. To me this indicates perhaps something I modified after stock interfered., however nothing I can think of should come close to affecting it, other than XPOSED (however, XPOSED was installed prior to this issue coming back up, and no new modules were added)
Additionally, since Marshmallow, my phone won't reconnect automatically to my head unit. For example, when my car is on accessory mode and the stereo is on and BT connected. When I start the car, the system momentarily turns off for ~5 seconds at most, and turns back on. With Lollipop it would automatically reconnect, here is causes some serious problems as the only way to get them to reconnect after is to turn off the stereo and the phone, and turn both back on again. Sometimes I even have to do a couple of cycles.
Does anyone have any ideas?
i tried to do everything possible to fix the issue... I have a stuttering keyboard as well... anykeyboard I use seems to stutter, it lags a little, but most words that i type apear two times...
I have no issues at all like that, or stuttering throughout the system. It is specifically related to Bluetooth audio.
Anyone?
I've always thought kernel

If you do not have this problem, what kernel do you use? I just flashed BeastMode today, hoping that will bring me a bit of luck. However as it worked initially and a few weeks later broke down into the pathetic mess once again, I have my doubts
I use power amp and in advance I set thread priority to the highest and audio buffer to 750ms. I've used them all and haven't had skipping

Seems to have improved it, but reconnect issue is still present
The reconnect issue may be related to the stuttering.
The unit may be also trying to download contacts at the same time which causes the stutter.
Have you tried unpairing it from the unit, renaming your phone and then pairing it again?

I have in fact tried to re-pair the unit many times, to no avail. Factory resets also yield no benefits. It is set to auto download contacts, I'll try to disable that option to see if it improves anything.
I have the stuttering almost removed, however it still sometimes occurs. On a recent long-distance road trip, it randomly started stuttering after playing flawlessly for 1.5 hours, it was incredibly frustrating. I rebooted the phone, and the stereo, reconnected and it started playing smoothly again. Keep in mind however this is with both raising idle CPU frequency, and changing the poweramp options mentioned in Post #7
Perhaps I should try a custom ROM?
You can also try stopping media scanning. I think there is a xposed plugin
I only notice this on a non-name-brand headset. (Also, after it happens, I disconnect and reconnect...and it works fine from there on out...until Power down) My other 3 don't have this problem. Music plays, get a call, hang up, music pick right up. Didn't read your post in detail to see if you've tried a different pair of BT receiver.
FWIW it's not just you, also use PowerAmp, have the buffer turned up, and also get stuttering. On pvsgh's stock rooted deodex'd debloated 5.1.1 with beast mode 1.92 + ZL fix and both my motorola s10 headset and sharkk speaker stutter from time to time. It does not seem to be universal. In the beast mode thread it bluetooth audio issue was brought up, but didn't really get much attention ::shrugs, palms up:: I even limited them to media only but still get the stuttering.
Like so many things it seems, it worked ok before the MM update (910t3 on dok2 ootb) and now doesn't. Kinda like my ability to sign into enterprise level (work - EAP login) routers...
CM12.1 didn't make a difference in my case. Been on several stockish 5.1.1 roms as well. It still happens. Swapping out roms doesn't appear to pay off. It hasn't for me anyway :-/
Interested to see if a solution (or a cause?) lands here...

I've just recently switched to a Samsung S10 (about a month ago) and keep having this issue. I set the media volume to 10% and then, all of a sudden, I'm browsing through facebook and BAM, volume is at 100 and a loud AF sound is playing and I'm in public (since then I disabled the start videos with sound on FB). It is weird to me because when I was using my old Huawei P20 I did not have any type of problems like this, but, nonetheless, I went over all my apps and uninstalled any useless stuff and all apps that somehow relate to sound and music.
Every time I disconnect from bluetooth my media volume resets back to 100. I even set a MacroAndroid to set media volume to 0 when I disconnect bluetooth and it STILL sets it back to 100, almost as if it is fighting the macro to get back to max. This happens on all my bluetooth devices too, it is not exclusive to one.
I unchecked the "use volume keys to media" trying to fix the issue and also turned the volume option on Developer Options -> Networking as well, to no avail.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I have gone through every setting and searched all over google but still coming up with nothing.
Appreciate any help in advance.
Have you figured it out?
I am having the same problem and it is extremely annoying. It happens to me in the browser, but also with Spotify...
Thanks!
very weird issue. stuff like this is usually only ever resolved with a factory reset and if that doesnt do it, its probably the bluetooth stack overflow having issues which is only resolvable by flashing the factory firmware in Odin.
Same problem here... Did anyone find a solution to this problem?
