[Q] Music Stops Playing When Turning Off Screen or Entering APPS - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi,
Can someone please help me out here? Whenever I listen to music, my sound will shut down when i turn off my screen or try to access apps and it will go back to normal once I turn my screen back on or go back to my home screen.
This whole time I've been running JellyBeans Rom build 21 with no problems, but decided to switch to PACMAN Rom because I was sick of 4.1. I installed Viper4Android and followed every directions correctly, but the problems came up after this. It's so bad to the point where if I want to listen to music, I have to trick my phone by unplugging my headphones, play music through my phone speakers initially, then plug the my headphones back in to make it work somewhat normally. This solves the music pausing problem when I turn off my screen, but to do this every single time is ghetto and whack. I still can't access my apps without my music pausing when resorting to this method.
So today, I said, "Screw it" and went through the trouble of restoring my phone back to the factory settings and rooting again so if the problem was Viper4Android or some system issue within the phone, it would go back to normal. Sadly, no luck and the issue still exists. I even thought that I messed up on something when changing the coding in build prop manager, but I reverted back to factory settings so there shouldn't be an issue.
I've heard people had issues where their music would skip on them when they turn off their screen, but I think my problem is different.
So my question to you is: Anyone experiencing similar problems or do you think that this a hardware issue? If this is a hardware issue, I have no problems taking apart my phone and replace the earphone jack.

Well, I think I figured out the problem. My phone is rejecting Google launcher when it comes to music for some weird reason. I switched to NOVA launcher and my music works perfectly now. *sigh* I guess losing the "OK Google" command is a small price to pay for music... So my next question is, how do I make my music work with the Google launcher? It seems like I'm only experiencing this problem haha

I believe it has something to do with the voice activation. I am using Nova Launcher but am able to reproduce the bug using the Voice Search within Dolphin browser. When I have headphones plugged in and playing music, as soon as I use the voice search option, the music mutes and doesn't come back til I unplug my headphones.
EDIT: Just to try it, I used my gf's Razr M phone. Had headphones plugged in, played music. Did Google Voice Search, the music stopped also BUT after finding whatever I Voice Searched, the music resumed on its own. Maybe there is a code missing to resume the audio?

[Q] Music playback issue

Ok, this one is a bit WEIRD.
Just went out to the trail, and I loaded Endomondo (wanted to check it out), and then I started playing an album in the stock HTC music app. I lock the screen and put the phone in my pocket, start running, and bam...the song skips to the next one. And then the next one, and the next, etc.
I take the phone out, screen is unlocked, Voice Dialer is on screen, Subsonic and Google Music app loaded as well, and my phone started dialing the last person I spoke to.
I close all of the apps, and try again. As soon as I start running, and consequently start shaking the phone on my pocket, the same thing happens. A battery pull stopped this behavior, but I was able to reproduce it again when I got home, just by playing a song, locking the screen, and gently shaking the phone.
Anyone else experience any similar issues?
EDIT: Just to mention that I am able to reproduce a similar thing with ANY music app. In most cases, the playback stops and the Voice Dialer is on screen.
EDIT 2: Looks like I'm not the only one: http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d/364209-head-phones-causing-songs-fast-fwd-skip.html
EDIT 3: I think I figured it out. Sometimes, when I plug the headphones in, the phone detects it as a HEADSET. /sigh
Should I take this thing back?

I had the same exact issue after I installed Google Music. The only fixes I found were to manage to get to the task manager and kill everything. Also, I noticed that if I plugged my auxiliary cable in halfway the headset icon with the mic would appear, but when I push it in all the way the headset icon would appear without the mic and the problem would be gone.
I've been having a similar issue, although it hasnt opened the voice recorder when my phone is in my pocket sometimes the song will skip around, sometimes it will skip to the next song.. it's odd. I think it's more of a software glitch than anything..

[Q] Audio self muting

I love my nexus 10 but it has an annoying habit of self-muting the audio and then not letting me turn the sound back up again (without being switched off/on).
I've searched but no one seems to be mentioning this issue on this hardware (though earlier devices did suffer).
ANyone else seen it? Any thoughts on cause/solution?
I can't say exactly when it happens but earlier today I was listening to music via google play, multi-tasking. then I paused via drop down menu, did other things and later realised it had self muted and wouldn't let me increase volume.
Odd and frustrating.
Cheers all,
Jay
This sometimes happens to me when I play a Netflix film and try to switch to another app.

[Q] Weird behavior with Google Now and headphones

Hi everyone,
My girlfriend's i777 is acting up and not sure what to do. Whenever it's plugged in through headphones or through aux to her car, Google Now voice search pops up when the phone is moved slightly or rotated. I turned off screen rotation and still same behavior. I also installed a completely different ROM and getting same behavior (AOKP JB -> Shostock 3). What's even stranger is that Google Now is picking up all the audio coming in through the headphones. If I put an audiobook on and Google Now pops up, it will start typing the audio coming from the music player, even though the headphones are not loud (so there's no way the microphone is picking them up).
I did disable Google Now through TiBu and not getting it anymore, but what could cause something like this?
My first thought was that the phone thinks that a headset is plugged in and is confused. I installed "Headset Blocker" app but that did not do anything.
Isn't there a setting in Google now to detect when you say Google, it'll open the app and search? I haven't set it up or messed with it in a while but I thought I remembered something like that being in there . Maybe dig through settings?

Thanks for the reply. I did find that setting in Google Now settings, but I disabled it. No effect :/

Bluetooth playback issues

Hello all,
I'm experimenting some issues with my OPX while listening to music in Bluetooth.
I have the last update and I use Play Mauic.
1) When i am at the middle of the song and I connect for example, the song starts again on the Bluetooth device whereas on my phone it still display the middle of the song. Like 2:13/3:26 for example. It isn't a big issue but maybe it's linked to the others.
2) randomly, when a song is automatically skipped to the next one, because it has ended, again my player shows that the next song is playing whereas I can't hear anything or sometimes it stutters A LOT, like I can hear one second for each 10 seconds. To fix if I just have to click on "previous" so the song start again and it works flawlessly. This issue happens very often.
Is it a known issue? Is there a fix? I've never seen this kind of issue with other devices ao I'm sure it's because of the OPX.
Thank you.
I got the same issue. It is very annoying. You can also make the title play again by moving the progress slider a little bit back or forward. It happens also with other music players.
Someone answered on my G+ post it happens with headphone jack too. I haven't tried it tho.
I got this problem with my Sennheiser MM100 as well as on my Bose Soundlink 2.
I have also a mini sound link 2.
Buy with my cans it doesn't happen (through jack)
If it's a common problem, let's hope we'll get a fix soon.
I find it crazy that even now there is no fix. It's getting really annoying and 1+ is doing nothing, as well as for the shutters in video playback (on YouTube or Facebook). I'm definitely disappointed and thinking about selling my phone. Did anyone find a fix?
I'm using BlackPlayer, no issues with blueooth playback stutter. Issue 1) is no problem for me, I want to hear the song from start.
No random skips or stutter.

I'm sorry but I don't care the way I should use my phone, I use it as I wish and as I've always done, it's not to OnePlus to dictate me how to use my phone. It's good if you don't care but I do. I don't want to change my habits. However you didn't my problem, it's not about random skips, it just that sometimes there's no more sounds which are casted, so it's a real issue, it's not about the starting over.
Listening to music through bluetooth is just a pain, and the phone is out for months, OnePlus did nothing. That's sad.
I'm on OOS 2.1.3-x and I use Double twist player with no problem over bluetooth. So maybe the problem is Play music

I've never had your 'no more sounds which are casted' issue experince through bluetooth. Are you full stock?
Bluetooth issues
OnePlus 2 is a pretty decent phone, offering good build quality and performance for a reasonable price.
Turn the Bluetooth off and then turn it on back again.
Clear the Bluetooth cache by going to its Settings.
Restart the phone once you have cleared the cache.
Try deleting the old and unused connections and then set up the connection all over again.
Someone tryed Bluetooth playback with the newest 2.2.1 update yet?
Last week Thursday I went back from cm13 to OOS since 2.2.0x "fixed Bluetooth". Well guess what. It didn't. Still the same problem that the next song in line gets mutet after a while of playing music through Bluetooth on my MM100 or Bose Soundlink 2.
Some things I realise:
-Poweramp don't have this issues on OOS since it handles music in an other way. So this might be a workaround for people.
-Play Music or Shuttle+ don't work nice with OOS (I needed to switch songs 27 times in order to make it play again in 6h of playing. That's ridiculous)
-back on CM13 based ROM(and CM13 self) I don't have this kind of problems. Play Music works as it should (guess Shuttle too).
Would be nice to hear if the 250mb big update fixed this bug so I can go back to Stock since I kind of like it.

Hi,
Listening music on my USB/Bluetooth speaker is working like a charm but listening music on my Bluetooth car is impossible (like importing contact and calling)

Spotify makes system audio stop working

So this is a little hard to explain.
***EDIT: ITS ANY APP THAT USES INTERNET FOR AUDIO THAT COMPLETELY STOPPED BLUETOOTH***
I tried to use youtube to play a song over bluetooth and it completely locked up the app and I had to force close ON THE NEW PHONE AND OLD PHONE
AND NOW IT JUST MADE THE PHONE RESTART BY ITS SELF
Is this a rom problem?
The other day i was trying to listen to some music using a cracked version of spotify that I've used for over a year with no problem. The audio randomly stopped working, so I tried to just use the stock music player because I was going to an area where I didnt have any service anyway. The stock music player wouldn't work. I made sure it was playing by looking at the seek bar and it would sometimes start at 0:01, then jump to 0:05 and so on but no audio was coming through. The only way to make system audio work again, is to completely restart the phone. I uninstalled spotify, and the problem never came back until I reinstalled spotify with a different version, hoping it'd fix the problem. It hasnt. So, I decided to use a different phone but the same model phone, rooted, with the same rom, and it did it again. ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PHONE. I don't know what happened, but even on a clean flash, with no other apps installed, spotify kills my bluetooth and system audio.
What the hell is going on?
The android version is 4.4.2, and it's a stock rooted deodexed rom.
