So I'm having an issue with my Nord 2. I'm a gym rat and I use Poweramp. I have a ton of phones and the Nord 2 is the only phone that gives me this issue. And it doesn't matter which bluetooth headphones I'm using, this problem happens to them ALL. The issue I'm having is this...
When I'm listening to music (again, I use Poweramp, i haven't tested with any other music apps) I can pause the music by tapping the earbud. But if I wait more than about 5 seconds to tap the earbud to restart the music, the Nord kills my ability to restart it by tapping the earbud. The only way I can restart the music is to pull my phone out of my pocket and unlock the screen and go into PowerAmp and press play. I will add, once I go back into the app I can also start the music again by tapping on the earbud. So essentially, in order to use all the touch controls of my earbuds, the screen has to be on AND the music app must actually be open on the screen. I initally thought that the Nord 2 was battery saving and killing the ability to do use earbud controlls somehow but i will add that even if the screen NEVER turns off and I minimize PowerAmp and start another app, I cannot get PowerAmp to start the music back up unless it is actually open on the screen. I have already disabled all battery saving settings for PowerAmp and I also locked the app open in the recent apps menu. I have allowed it to run without restrictions in the battery saving menu but this hasn't solved the problem.
I'm totally stumped. Does anyone else have this issue and know how to fix this? Could the Nord 2 be killing some kind of bluetooth service that is required to use bluetooth audio controls that has nothing to do with PowerAmp?
Sounds like global power management is active.
Developer options>standby apps
All buckets should show as active and their state unchangeable. If not, global power management is active. Disable it.
I have a Samsung so not sure where and what it's called on that device. It's a Google Android based concept. I use Poweramp as well and it will kill Poweramp 2-3 minutes after I turn the screen off. Once disabled it will play indefinitely.

I think bluetooth is seriously borked on this phone. Bluetooth avrcp profile doesn't work properly and this might be related to OP problems.
There are other bt issues. I have to restart my phone every few days because phone just stops connecting to any bt devices when the screen is off.

After some googling, I believe you are correct. Definitely seems related to AVRCP profiles. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any fix ATM. Maybe an update to Android 12 on this phone will fix the issue.

Android 12? More than likely it will break more than it fixes... make sure you can roll it back if needed.
Roll back? On this device? Even a roll forward (once rooted) is an extreme pain in A**.

You haven't experienced Samsung's new found incompetence They even put the spen on the wrong side, dropped the SD card slot and forgot their name, Note. That will slow those nasty paying power users down!
12 is a mess across the board, it's not just oneplus. Betaware.

This is my first windows mobile application. It's not the best but maybe it'll be in the future.
This small program runs in the background and checks permanant if a headset is connected to the PocketPC. When the headset is removed accidentally or intenional from the PocketPC, the volume will be set to a default value. This should prevent, that you forget to change the volume or to stop the music playing and so your music won't "annoy" other people around you.
It's very important that you report me every error (maybe with screenshot). That's the only way to make the app bug-free.

Suggestion are welcome on every time.
Sounds like a great application, I'll wait until you have the GUI finished, but definitely would use it!
Sounds cool look forward to gui being done as i can see this being a very handy app.
what a wonderful idea
thank you so much.
Got instructions on how to config the reg settings? Great app. I use my phone as a aux in for my car and always have to turn the volume down for work.
that's really a good idea !!!
thanks
great app!
maybe you can add a feature that it automatically disables the headset when there is call (incoming/outoing)?
this would be for people using normal 3,5inch headphones (no headsets) so they do not have to remove the headphones when they want to speak on the phone!

There aren't many settings to do. A little how to is written in the readme.txt which is included in the zip and also will be installed in your installation folder.

I'm sorry I haven't thought about this. At the moment there is no way to route all audio to the headphones. I will fix this in the next version and maybe I make it selectable in the GUI.
Thanks man would love tht if its possible my only wonder is how come nobodys ever done it b4? i mean am i the only one who listens to music off of my phone in the library?
Here you go, attached is a simple config i made which lets you change the current app opened when the Headphone is connected
Main Thanks goes to stephj
let me know if you want me to add any other configuration to it
Hi Ather.
Thanks for this little app. I'll finish Version 0.2 including the GUI this evening. Then everybody has full control about all supported features. (Unfortunately my time is very scanty at the moment so it takes a bit longer to do all the work. )
you are welcome , sorry i mispelled it, i spelled it AudioCatcher instead of AudioChecker
here is the code i used :

Can we set this up, so that it autostarts after every softreset?
edit: It does it by itself
Yes, the installation copies a shortcut into the autostart folder in \Windows\ directory. If you don't like to autostart it delete the shortcut. I'll make this optional in the next release.

I decided to give the Ice Cream Sandwich OTA update through Verizon a try and now I regret it. The biggest thing that I can't live without with the bluetooth controls not working when the phone is locked. I use my phone for 3 hours a day during my commute with stereo headphones and I hate having to unlock my phone, go to the music app, just to pause the music to hear what someone is saying. I've searched the forums and realized that there is no fix right now, nor is there a possibility to revert back to Gingerbread as of now. Am I completely screwed?
As it is now, I am extremely unhappy with my brand new Razr Maxx, and I wish there was someway to get Gingerbread back. If anyone has ANY ideas, please discuss here.
Thanks,
Seth

I would love to flash to a custom rom, any idea if the bluetooth controls have been fixed in them?
Tested it with Pandora on my Ford sync.

If you device is UNLOCKED or haven't flash cdt.bin(ICS) you can recovery 2.3.x.
Settings -> Security -> Allow bluetooth bypass
Although this works for me it is quite annoying: if the screen is locked and phone probably in a sleep mode (music still playing) it sometimes takes several presses or several seconds to respond. Maybe someone knows how to fix this (bluetooth daemon getting killed?).
I wouldn't go back to GB but I miss its bluetooth responsiveness. I get the same 2-4 seconds delay with BT headphones and BT car audio A2DP track skipping and pausing. Interestingly enough skipping to next track is about 2x faster than pausing/resuming.

Yeah, thanks for that recommendation, but the bypass Bluetooth option was already checked. think there's a way to prevent sleep mode while music is playing?
I noticed that bluetooth actions are sometimes not registered until the music is actually started. I'm using the stock player, so I don't know how it behaves with other players.
Again, I'm getting a lot of misses so try pressing several times. Double tapping the pause button should launch the speech recognition; if that does not work then there is a problem with the bluetooth installation, e.g. some core services disabled or killed.
Any updates with this? The Bluetooth still is unusable for me.
Are you using the stock locker or a different one? My problems were mostly caused by wrong WidgetLocker settings.
Also, "allow bluetooth bypass" is only for voice commands, it should not affect AVRCP.
Hi there,
I've got a problem since the last update (20160608): I cannot hear anything in calls no matter if I am called or if I call someone. When I use the headset or switch to loudspeaker everything works fine. The problem exists with several SIM cards. I tried rebooting, clearing cash of Google Playstore, Google Framework and Play Services. And I changed the volume to maximum of course.
Any idea how to fix that?
Thanks a lot for the support!
Well since it worked before the update it most likely is not a hardware defect. I guess the usual suggestion/solution would be a factory reset, or to re-flash the ROM, but before you do something like that you could give the following a try:
- go into EngineerMode by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*
- go to the tab "Hardware Testing", then Audio>Volume>Voice and select "Receiver" in the second field
- compare/change the values to these:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If your values do not differ from the ones shown, try to slightly change one of them and press "Set". Maybe this triggers a reset of the Receiver. Also turn the phone off and on again afterwards.
If this doesn't work, and if you don't find another solution, you should probably do a factory reset. Good luck!

Thanks for your help
Hello and thank you for your help.
However my values are the same as in the picture. Changing them and pressing set did not change a thing. This morning the fingerprint also broke. It does not recognize any finger and I am unable to set a new one. The sensor simply does not do anything. Turning on and off, rebooting did not help. I will try flashing Eragon and if it does not help I will try the tomrepair service. Any experiences with them?
Thank you
I have that same problems fingerprint scanner and phone calls. No one can hear me. I have to put it on speaker for a few seconds then turn it off. Even then. People still say they can't hear me. But this is on telephone c1 max.
I have the exact same problem with the ear-speaker.
Music one on the bottom works fine, so does bluetooth headset.
No sound during calls, others can hear me though.
I tried reseting the phone also.
I'm on the new Android 7.1 firmware. (http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-13393-1-1.html#.WUmUEGT1-SF)
I can't try the audio testing trick since a small part of my screen is not working either and of course it's exactly the the first item of the screen i can't select. I mostly managed by rotating the phone but test-tool does not allow rotation :S
I ended up getting mad and went out and got myself a new mobile (Not Elephone).
I loved the phone, but build quality is seriously lacking. Then again, it's priced accordingly.
I'm willing to test stuff if anyone has new ideas.
Same problem here, I have touchscreen problems (top of screen), audio call's problems and since last update of september, network settings problems (I must reboot my phone to take change of network state otherwise it restore his value after 2-3 min) and sim tray slot 1 doesnt work (must use slot 2)
I love the phone but the quality is not so good as other marks.
I also encountered the issue with the low sound in the voice call i tried to set the values that the picture showed and there is a small difference. Also any suggest to go higher with the values posted in the picture and what is the formula for increased in voice calls volume?
About to get a new phone and I also have a S7+. Are there any benefits with using a Samsung phone over just any Android device?
I want the Pixel 4a 5g because of the price, but I am already missing the benefit of measuring my blood pressure and EKG with my Samsung watch, because I have a V60 at the moment. That is not that big of a deal but I wanted to know what features I may be missing out on my S7+ by not going with a Samsung phone.
Customization. No other stock phone is as customizable. Hundreds of free icon packs, themes, and the Good Lock family of apps.
Many of the Samsung's have SD card slots. I won't buy a phone with no SD card slot as I use it as a data drive.

There are quite a few advantages, all of which I use daily and although they are mainly simple things that you could probably work around, I couldn't see myself switching to another phone and losing those features now that I have them.
1. Call and text sharing, so if a call or text comes in on my phone I can answer it on my tablet.
2. Seamless audio switching with my Buds+, if I'm listening to something on my phone, then switch to watching something on my tablet the Buds+ will auto switch device. Also, if I'm watching something on my tablet and a call comes in on my phone, the Buds+ will switch to the phone.
3. Auto data tethering. Your phone will always appear at the top of the WiFi menu on your tablet and you can start tethering data without having to first enable it on the phone.
4. App sync, I don't use this one that much as right now I think it only works with Samsung Notes and Samsung Internet but if I write a note on my tablet and then open the multitasking menu on my phone there will be a button to open Samsung Notes on the phone just as I had left it on the tablet.
5. You can use the tablet keyboard to type on the phone. Just press a button on the tablet keyboard and it switches to typing on the phone, handy for replying to WhatsApp messages without having to pick up the phone.
There are probably some more features, but these are the ones that I use.
Thank you for your reply, that helps a lot! Probably go with the S21 5g then. I have everything else Samsung (TV, tablet, watch, earbuds, SmartThings WiFi) might as well get their phone too along with a Samsung fan boy t-shirt!

On the screen shot on the right/left sides you'll notice the light strips. They can be may any size, color or transparency including invisible. That's the app One Hand Operation + which is a very cool app that can be used to toggle on many different apps/services, gesture navigation and more.
Nests well in the curve of the screen. The Digi Clock Widget also has 4 switch quadrants that I use... hidden switches everywhere. They allow for a very clean but highly functional/stable home screen. Very low battery usage as well.
The Buds couple fast with Samsung phones plus you can use the proprietary SSC codec. The Buds + are a definite sound upgrade from the Buds. Not sure about the Buds Pro, there could fit issues; the Buds and Buds+ are dimensions/fit identical but that was change with the Pro model.
Hi folks,
I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to this: Immediately following applying the June update, I noticed certain apps (crucially, Angry Birds2) were being closed in the background as soon as I switch to other apps. Previously, I could have AB2 open, go do other things on the phone, come back half an hour, and AB2 would still be open. Now, even brief switches to other apps results in it being closed.
Figuring it had been switched to a higher level of battery optimization, I checked the AB2 app and made sure it was still Unrestricted (it is).
Battery Saver is off.
Adaptive Battery is on, but it was before the update too.
What other settings do I need to monkey with to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Developer options>standby apps, check bucket state of app. It should be active.
If that's the case disable all global power management. If disabled all buckets show as active and their state can't be altered.
Google global power management never worked right. Turn all that junk off.
Deal with power hogs on a case by case basis instead. In settings individual apps can be set to not run in background without invoking global power management.

For AB2 it shows "exempted" and is grayed out. What does that mean? Meanwhile I'm turning off Adaptive power. Anything else I need to turn off, while I'm at it?

Exempted? More like KIA Erratic behavior is typically what it causes on my Samsung's.
In power management the only thing I enable would be fast charging if you want that.
Not familiar with Pixel settings but they are similar as it's a Google Android based subsystem.

Sadly all similar settings are now turned off and the phone has been rebooted. AB2 still closes nearly instantly when I switch to another app. Sigh.

Try clearing app cache.
More drastically delete data or reinstall it.
It may be the app itself is no longer compatible now and needs an update.
On a Samsung my first choice would be to clear the system cache found on the boot menu. I've been told Pixel's don't have this option.
Personally I avoid all OTA updates as they can and do break things. Pie and above are fairly secure if you don't do stupid things.
