[Q] why does music stop playing randomly with headphones on?

Hello,
I have encountered this problem for a few weeks now (depends on what ROM I am on). I am on Carbon ROM as of now but the problem is that my music stops playing and sometimes when I press the play button once again it doesn't play until 1 minute or doesn't even play again. When on speaker I do not encounter this problem. I rely on music during my ride to school due to being on the bus for 40 - 50 minutes and I also skateboard therefore, I really need music to play, this really annoys me. I love KitKat and don't want to revert back to stock. Someone please help me!

That's the one problem I can't test; my headphone jack doesn't work. Bluetooth works just fine, at least with Sync and to my PC.
Are you using the rom's music player or an aftermarket one? And if you know how, can you post a catlog and a dmesg? Those will give us an idea of what's up.
40 50 minutes. That sucks and I feel your pain. That's how long my bus ride was, but only because the high schoolers were next to last....something about getting the little kids off first. Didn't matter, I just walked since that was only 20 minutes. The worst part was that going to a store took 20 minutes, so if I needed something it took the same amount of time either way. Didn't skateboard or ride a bike cause they always got in the way going to places and parties after school.

I am using play music, I have installed many other music players but still encounter the same problem. How do I post a catlog and dmesg? Is it hard?
Yeah it sucks, specially when I skateboard I rely on my music to pump me up, I live in a rural area. We have middle schoolers in my bus so its more time. I live on the border of Washington and oregon. I can't go to Oregon school due to living in Washington ._.

That sucks being on the border, until you're 21 at least, then that's a really good location for that area of the country. My long ride was close to yours in that it was because of transfers at other schools in the district (the tease was the bus went within a block of my school on the way to another one for more pickups).
For a logcat, either use the app Catlog (search Play) or have the SDK setup on your pc and run "adb logcat > C:\logcat.txt" and upload that text file. Dmesg is the same as logcat only the command is "adb shell dmesg > C:\dmesg.txt"
Both of those can also be done on the phone (as root) with
Code:
logcat > /mnt/sdcard/0/logcat.txt
dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/0/dmesg.txt
I tried to make the phone ones easy to copy/paste on mobile. Those are also for JB 4.2 roms and up. If you're on stock or 4.1.2 and under then remove the "/0" directory -- /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt.

I had an issue like that but the problem was my headphones. I noticed that if I moved the jack in a certain way, it would stop playing music. Other thing that you can do is backup your system and flash again, maybe that can fix the annoying issue.

That's how my headphone jack going out started. If any jack was plugged into it, any jack, the jack would need to be tweaked a bit for full stereo sound. Eventually that didn't work and now I don't have any sound at all from there, all I can do is BT audio now .
Interestingly enough, my Moto Bravo has the exact same problem, only the jack still works. I have an aluminum fence tie with just the right bends so it clips to my phone and tweaks my jack to the right position. See below

I can not fund dmesg.txt in /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt , I can simply try it on my aunts PC since I don't have one myself. I'm at school therefore, I will post it around 5-6 pacific time.

Try /storage/emulated/legacy for internal and /storage/sdcard/1 for the external, both for kitkat/jb42+. I'm not positive what other links the stock roms were using because I don't use them all that much.

i have similar problem with play music on CM11
if i turn the screen off while playing music the phone will shut down.

Extreme battery drain?? 6.0.1

Has anyone else run into this after 6.0.1 update. It really didn't hit me until last night when I decided to test it. Unplugged my phone at 80% and went to sleep only to wake up to it dropping almost 50%!!!!!....not normal. It looks like something is just not right with everything after the update because after checking everything, nothing seems to fit. And before you say it was my wifi, I just changed that, this happened even if wifi was off. But I can say doze is definitely not working and no app seemed to go "rouge" with wakelocks when trying to check. Going to downgrade back to a previous build of 6.0, but hopefully someone else can chime in. Only found a few articles of people reporting the same thing but no one is actually posting possible solutions, just bashing a legitimate concern. Hopefully I don't run into that here.....

Try a factory rest, fixes 99% of issues.

turn off wifi scannning, in you location settings. notice that your wifi us in the whole time? and i bet that you arent even using wifi.. well, turn it off.

Only out of place thing I see is that your screen was on at some points but the phone wasn't saying it was awake. That leads me to believe there's a kernel wakelock issue because I had the same thing but on 5.1. The issue turned out for me to be a wakelock called bluesleep which is related to bluetooth and it came about from an app called gasbuddy which silently updated to provide support for bluetooth "beacons" at gas stations to give you deals or some crap like that. If you're rooted you can install BetterBatteryStats to test for kernel wakelocks, you can test for bluesleep wakelock by just turning off bluetooth and seeing if the drain/weird screen-on not awake thing happens, and long press power off to start the phone in safe mode to narrow down whether its a system issue or installed app issue and if rooted use an app freezer like Titanium Backup to freeze your installed apps a few at a time to narrow down what app(s) are causing it(so you don't have to uninstall/reinstall trial and error).

Wow thanks for that, I actually use GasBuddy, wish you were here before the factory reset I did, but everything seemed to go back to normal after I did the reset but I wanted to actually try to find out specifics. I haven't rooted just because I use Android pay (I know system less root us out there) but I'll try to keep an eye out for that stuff if it happens again.

Lol, it's all good, but yea, that wasn't the issue, doing now with wifi always on and battery drain is normal and doze is working properly, so probably a bad flash and factory reset fixed it, although I really wish there are ways around that

Maintenance update - gyroscope issues.

Hi
Does any of you experience gyroscope not working after a while on the new firmware 1.275 with maintenance update?
I turn the phone off and leave it for a minute and back on and it works.
Sent from my F8131 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Yes, i notice the issues too. It comes with latest update, and appears in random time every day

Hi.
Yes, I notice it too and find it annoying. As far as I can tell, this is a software issue and not hardware and to think that Sony would make such an error is incredible.
A reboot and it works for a short while, then back to not working again.
*shrugs*

Is there somewhere to log the fault on phone or has anybody tried to do something with pc companion or do just have to what for them to fix it

Hi
I am on sw 1.238 only apps were updated no system update has been installed and i have the rotation issue as well.
I think one of the apps (i think one of the sony apps) is causing the problem.

I just did the gyroscope diagnostic and I still pass. The ball just moves slightly more jerky than usual. I have not had any functional issues while in use. The phone has been on for 3 days currently.

Thanks for the feedback people... I was about to break my phone as I got pissed over this bad quality phone.
This being said, this will probably be my last Sony phone, they have made errors on every phone and lies regarding quality and photo.
A reboot helps, for a while

Sonys answer would be like..
You can restart our performance phone and open the camera again, you might miss the moment but trust in Sony... If you are able to take a picture then you are lucky as our touchscreen is a piece of cheap ****.
Enjoy our x performance, unmatched quality.

It is strange. I had this issue once. Since then there were these updates and I disabled a few apps, for example AR effect or lifelog (preinstalled "system" apps, which cannot be uninstalled without root).
My last restart was four days ago - meanwhile I took quite a lot pictures - no issues so far. If it helps by any means I can post my list of disabled apps - it might be at least a workaround...?!?

I had the same problem.
Did a sofware repair through companion and after the maintenance update again the accelerometer and compass stop working. Really seems to be a software bug with the new maintenance update.

Hi,
Please share your disabled apps. I would like to try to disable them.
Edit:
I have foun your list on sony support forum, thanks.
I will try to disable these apps one by one. Let's see which is causing the problem.
As i am still on 35.0.A.1.238 and never installed system update just the apps were updated i think one of the apps is causing the problem.

Hopefully it fixes your problem as well - maybe it was just coincidence, but I didn't have this problem for quite a while now...

Thanks.
My phone is still ok for like 15 hours without issue.
I have 2 apps disabled.
Avg since i bought the phone so this ia not a problem.
Playstation app
And the whats new is the factory version.

It might be the combination. I did not touch "What's new" so far... as long as the issue seems to be solved, it's fine - but it might be interesting for our fellow guys, what exactly caused and / or cured it

I think this is caused by maintenance update provided a few days ago.
This updated system "memory" app, and uninstalling the update may fix the issue.
Go to: setting>app>all app>memory>uninstall update

My accelerometer stopped working.... but gyro working fine..... I tried service tests using *#*#7378423#*#*.....
just noticed this issue while I was trying to see the images in landscape mode.... waiting for 7.0

Gyroscope/Auto-Rotation Issue
Hey everyone,
I'm also having this same issue, but only since the most recent update from late September. When trying to make a pic display as fullscreen by rotating the phone, nothing happens, unless I reboot the phone. Then within day or two, it starts happening again. When I go to camera it loads up and STAYS in landscape mode, no matter what I do, even closing it out and clearing out the cache & force stopping it then reactivating it. It seems like a software issue that Sony needs to address PRONTO!
It appears another thread here on XDA is dealing with the same issue. I tried shenlong85's idea and it seems to have fixed the issue, but I need another day or so to make sure. If you don't hear from me by Sunday (10/23), assume it's been fixed. Hopefully the Nougat update we're all about to get any day now will permanently fix it!

Question Bluetooth Battery Drain

Hey guys. Since the April update I've noticed I'm getting a fair bit of Bluetooth Battery drain on my Ultra. Only thing I have connected all the time is my Huawei GT2 Pro watch, but this has always been the case and never had the issue.

Never used to see any Bluetooth use here really. Have rebooted both devices but seems to be getting worse.
Any ideas ?

Clear system cache.
Do a network reset... see if that helps.

Do a Google search if you don't know how for that make/model.
Network reset is generally found in setting under connectivity at least on Samsung's.

I don't think Karma Firewall's logging feature works in Android 10 or 11.
That would allow you to see what is accessing the internet and how often. Might give you a clue to what app is responsible.
It may be an app connected with the watch that's gone wild. Google Play Services is a known troublemaker and battery hog.

Man it's somehow getting worse ...

Why is app usage so high?
It's not broke down by app. Wonderful.
More Android 10/11 security?
Try disabling Google Play Services... just a hunch.
If that doesn't work...
Go to Developer options>running processes/cache processes after a reboot and see if you can spot it.

That is a mess. Ditch the trash social apps especially FB and insta****. Health is doing what? Is DeX just hanging out too?
All that message stuff?
G Board?
Which of these has bluetooth permissions?
Time to take out the trash... if you can bare to part with it. It all adds up.
The Adroid system looks high too.
Disable all power management after you take out the trash. Power management can cause erratic behavior and battery drain.
This what my 10+ battery profile looks like. I was using bt for a couple hours but it's bare bones.
The bells and whistles are power sucking and annoying.

Have you tried turning off nearby device scanning (under connections) and Bluetooth scanning (under improve accuracy in location)?
Also are you able to see if anything is draining your watch faster than it was before?

That should be ok then.
Google apks are notorious troublemakers though. Even Gmail I keep on a short leash.
Maybe the data in Health got corrupted, try clearing data or reloading it.
Don't forget all the Google apps and their many dependencies. One might be polling constantly and going unanswered*.
Tracking something like that down on a unrooted Android 10 or 11 platform is a bloody nightmare.
*I simply disabled Google Play Services expect when I need it because this.

If you disconnect the watch does the drain stop? Does the drain continue if you connect a different device? Might be easier to try resetting the watch before the phone?

You can disable GplayS in settings to see what happens. Mine is disabled right now.
You can also download Karma Firewall then firewall block GplayS, Google backup Transport and Android Services if those latter two aren't used by you. See if this helps.

Question Low Bluetooth volume

So I recently bought Xiaomi 11T, about a month ago, and the volume on my true wireless earbuds is extremely low compared to my older phone (Xiaomi Mi A1), which was running on Android 9. So I looked it up and did find a possible solution but the phone had to be factory reset to solve through that solution, which I don't want to do because it's frustrating doing it all again. I tried solving (linked below) this by following the steps except the resetting one, but it did not solve this issue. So is there any way that I can solve the low volume issue without resetting the phone?
DO NOTE that "Disable absolute volume" option in developer options is TURNED OFF.
Solution with resetting the phone.
Please help me out!

Maybe adjust the equalizers or select a preset?

I tried changing them, but to no avail. But as you may see in the Xiaomi forum, it seems to be some other issue, changing certain values by going into engineering mode. But thanks for the suggestion!

Will that cause certain features (I don't know which exactly) to not work, as I reside in Pakistan?
Update: I did change the region but it didn't help.

Have you restarted the phone? If not then restart it then try testing the sounds on bluetooth

that is so weird, i dont seem to face any issue. i remember someone having this issue same phone, but the dev options absolute volume did the trick for him. but it seems you have already tried it.

Yes I did, but it did not help. Volume is still low.
I hope I'm able to find a solution before I try the one I posted in the screenshot and the link, which I'll do as a last resort. Don't wanna reset the phone.

Have you tried listening to your earbuds on the previous or some other phone? Maybe your volume is low as well, but you might have not noticed it or gotten used to it without knowing. I don't know. But yeah, it is weird. At the moment, the max volume on 11T seems like 50-60% of actual max volume.

I will test this and get back to you. I will have my old phone with me. I don't suppose there is any difference for me. As im an audiophile i would have noticed.

Would be greatly appreciated.

I dont know why but when I receive a notification like whatsapp sound in other apps like YouTube stops for a second any idea how to fix this ?

Hello
I have a Xiaomi Mi 11 lite and today I purchased the Redmi buds 3 pro and can confirm the same behavior happens, I connected the earbuds to my Nvidia shield and my mom's Huawei Mate 20 and the volume goes way higher on those devices than on my xiaomi, disabled absolute volume control in the earbuds options, changed region and the issue persits

In some contruys they ristriced we volume. In Germany also, after my Phone Changes in settings the Region to India no problem

I had the same problem in Xiaomi 11t (not PRO). And changing the region solved it. Important to notice that after changing the region, you have to reboot the phone. And... even though it does not seem to affect, what I will try is: Unpair the earphones, change region, reboot phone, pair earphones again.

Yes just go into sound assistant and turn on "Multiple audio sources". The audio will no longer decrease when notifications come.

I have already tried doing this, to no avail, sadly. It's been 3.5 months and still facing the same issue. I don't want to try the solution which requires resetting the phone, mentioned in the post.

I can verify this problem as well. Bought MI 11t. 50% low volume on Bluetooth devices
