Hey guys,
My Hero says the headphones are connected but they aren't connected!? This is very annoying when I want to call someone, then I have to use the headphones because otherwise I can't listen what the persons I'm calling to says. So the speakers are disabled (can still play music through headphones).
I also see the headphones icon in the Android bar.
I tried another ROM but it's giving the same problem (Android 2.1 stock, 2.2 Floyo, FV 1.5, etc.)
How can I solve this?
As far as i know this is not a rom specific problem, more of a software thing. It happens if you restart your phone too much (its how i get it). Three ways to solve problem
1. turn off your phone and wait at least 2 minutes before turning back on and it shud be gone
2. download toggleheadset.apk and it will no longer matter how much you restart your phone since u can toggle the icon off/on
3. least practical on long term and takes a while but works, poke a headphone in and move around until icon disappears
I get this problem all the time, and it seems like a lot of other hero users get it as well, i solved it using toggleheadset
Thanks for your message. I tried all these methods but they don't work
When I install Headset Blocker, I can still see the icon in the black HTC Android bar. The other two methods also don't work.
Haha! Yeah, it works!
I installed toggleheadset.apk but I didn't notice it's a widget and not an app.
So now it works and I can use my speakers again.
Thank you very much!

That post fixed my problem, as well as fixed the problem which the data connection turns off after a call.
Hey guys, sup?
I have a huge problem with my TELUS Touch Pro. Great phone, but just one problem...
Whenever somebody calls me, I can't answer the phone. The onscreen "Answer" button doesn't work, the Talk button doesn't work, pressing the Select button doesn't work...pressing the headphone button does, but sometimes my headphones are in my pocket, or sometimes they're not with me at all!
The only way I can answer them is by ignoring the call, and calling them back. It sucks big time.
Anybody have a solution? And no, I'm not hard-resetting my phone. It started doing this for my first call, so I'm pretty sure it's not my fault.
HEEAAALLLPPP!!!
Is this the stock ROM?
Do you have BT on and connected?
Mine started doing that yesterday. I did a hard reset and so far everythings back to normal. Still do not know what it was tho
I just had my TP replaced and the new one did the same thing, I did not notice until a few days later as I use a bluetooth headset and pushing the answer key on the headset worked. I had to RTN the device to make it work properly. Have not had a problem since. it has been aabout a week and a half.
Sometimes I've noticed this happens when my memory is tied up elsewhere, ie media player or something. Try soft resetting your phone every morning that might help clear it up.
I have had this happen with me on my Titan which I recently traded in for my Touch Pro, and also on my Touch Pro. I noticed it coincided with installing iGo8 GPS software on both. A hard reset was the only way I found to fix it. Uninstalling the software did not do the trick. I could be wrong about the software title I am blaming, but I have everything reloaded on my phone except that, and all is well. I do have a Slide To Answer incoming call screen now with the MightyRom 4.9.5 rom installed, maybe this is a work around, don't know for sure. If anyone else has more feedback, let me know. I would love to find a fix for it so I can use my GPS software.
Mine started doing this crap last night. I reinstalled the S2A cab and just let it go.
I am starting to think it might just be the telus network being a boatload of suck. Mine does it with the stock rom without any programs loaded from time to time. I am thinking it must be the tower failing to acknowledge that you want to answer the call, so the phone keeps ringing becuase it sees there is an incoming call but the tower ignores that you are trying to answer it. This is just my guess based on what I have read about CDMA, I wonder if any GSM users have the same issue.....
Do any of you have Advanced Configuration installed? This is what caused this problem for mine and my brother's TP. Uninstalling didn't fix it. Had to hard reset.
Yes, this is a known issue with Advanced Config, perhaps some other apps as well. Try this fix.

I can tell you that this will more than likely fix this for you. Mine was doing the same thing, applied this, done and shut! Good luck.
OMG OMG OMG thanks!!!! That also fixed the problem where it ended the data connection after the call.
Sorry I took so long, I THOUGHT I was subscribed to the thread...
Thanks again!
I have a uk set gs2. The problem nw is it at times it automatically restarts. It happens maybe 2 times a day. Or less. But it bothers me. Wonder
What could have causes it? I have rooted it with kernel from chainfire. KE7. Installed rooted apps like adfree, density changer and market enabler. No task killer. Any help from this? Appreciate it. Thanks!
This was happening with me as well after i installed No Lock. Removed it and it never restarted since.
I have the same problem. My SGS2 reboots frequently, especially(mainly) when I am using the default music player.
I have a stock SGS2, no root or taskkiller.
I do have last.FM running also.
The reboots are really random and not related to the amount of free RAM (there is usually a lot).
Another thing i want to add is that the reboots are really quick, does not seem to occur like the normal (re)boot process.
I had the same problem. The music player shuts down after awhile. But the reboot was a quick one. I use screen off and lock. I didnt use no lock though
Yes! This happens to me aswell. I can recreate this using default music player. When I play my quick list it reboots...well the reboot takes like 5secs? Blazing fast but still it is an issue. I have stock ke7 too with cf's root kernel. I didn't stay on ke7 wothout root for a long time so can't know for sure if that's the problem.

Same here guys .With xwke7 something goes wrong with the stock music player.Very fast reboot.SAMMY?>?????
my reboot is probably even faster than 5 seconds...
when i listen to a podcast on the default music player it suddenly stops and instantly plays the tone it plays when the phone starts and when i unlock the screen everything is booted up already, so i dont know if it even is a real reboot or just some reinitialization or stuff... i gotta check if it happens with other mp3 players too.

I can't say that I know exactly what the difference is, but for me, I see the SIMM PIN entry screen, meaning that if a "reboot" goes unnoticed, my phone ain't a phone because it's off the network until I get my PIN entered.
I seem to have the same problem.
This has happened since the day I got it (original firmware KE1) and have also tried updating it too (KE7)
I have noticed this especially when the music player is running.
Another thing I have noticed is that if its in my pocket (with no force being applied to it) it happens more frequently than if I have it in my hand.
Yeah I have the same problem. But I only ever notice it when I'm running the stock music player.
I believe it happens when these happen at the same time:
1) the stock music player is being used
2) the phone is vertical (like in your pants or chest pocket) - this one I am the least sure about
3) there is a change in GSM/3G/4G signal, even if the phone is in airplane mode
sounds crazy, but these are the circumstances I get it under, at least two times in the day.
I only experienced one sudden reboot in 2 weeks. I'm on stock KE5, no root. It happened when i was switching off/on the screen and unlocking the phone too fast using WidgetLocker. The weird part was the reboot was blazing fast, the boot animation for a second or two and then phone went to main screen instantly.
Same story here, KE7, when playing music player it restarts randomly.
I have this firmware for 3 weeks and it just started doing this this week. Happened 2 times in the last 2 days and got me worried that.it is hardware related.
hi
i am having the same problem, only happened a couple of times like explained here, in music player it will randomly reboot. i am on ke7 with cf-root
i had one yesterday though, phone was on my desk not using it at all, only push email active, nothing else running and i just heard a sound from it, looked and it had gone into "Safe Mode" (said bottom left of the screen), also some of my widgets had disappeared and needing readding, and also pretty much everything from my folders in applications had jumped out and gone into the default applications pages (about 30 of them!)
anyone had this problem before?
it was posted in the KE7 release thread and confirmed to be an issue even with poweramp as well as the stock music player. I'm currently on KE2 without a single issue with the audio player and i had to revert back to KE2 from KE7 because of this issue

Ph00ny so you're not having this issue anymore?
Actually I loved my old sgsII (apart from screen which is why I replaced)
KE2 Was awesome. More wallpapers and etcs. I might do the same if the randon odd reboot stops.

As of today my music player is unusable. It stops/pauses music every couple of seconds now, I hope they will release new firmware soon :.
Here is one for you, after thorough tests I have come to conclusion, that random restarts are happening when using wired headset, phone does not restart when using loudspeaker or bluetooth headset...

yeah you are right, i have the pin security enabled too, so this cant be a full reboot, since i would have to re-enter the pin code ... so its probably just a restart of some component (touchwiz?)
and yes it did only happen when i used the stock music player in combination with a wired head set ... right now i use poweramp and did not have this problem anymore

Do any of the ICS ROMs available on XDA have Voice Command that will work with a BT headset?
Or has anyone found an app that enables you to voice dial from a BT headset? I've scoured the forums and haven't found a solution that works for my AT&T Galaxy S2.
I'm running Serendipity and it doesn't have it. I've also tried Vlingo and Cyberon without success. Shocking that Google wouldn't carry voice command over from GB!!
I just found a vlingo apk that is really the Samsung Voice Command from GB ported to ICS. It works well.
I've attached it for those interested.
I think that was something samsung messed up, not sure though

Follow up for Voice Command
I have been testing the Voice Command apk I attached in my previous post and it works well except for one fairly big problem. Voice Command doesn't work when my phone's screen is off. As soon as I turn on the screen by pressing the Power button (but with the lockscreen still on), VC works fine.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately I don't have any ideas...I'm in the same boat. I'm using the samsung VC app (pulled from sammy ICS - I posted it up for someone, somewhere a while ago) on Task/Ktoons AOKP. It works perfectly fine launching from the BT headset button if the screen is on, but it won't wake the screen - I haven't been able to get it to work on any custom ROM actually...
Hmmm...now that you brought this up, I wonder if it's possible to integrate this into a tasker profile to make the BT headset button wake the screen, then launch VC?
Thanks for getting me thinking...guess I have an idea after all...

Glad I could get your gray matter moving!
Which BT headset are you using (I just bought the Blueant Q2)? I was hoping that it wasn't just my headset, so I wouldn't have to return it.
Let me know if you can figure it out.

Well, digging around in tasker, it appears it does not have a Bluetooth button trigger. Or if it does, I'm looking in the wrong place for it. I haven't actually tried, but it appears to be possible to force the phone either to screen off awake state, or full screen on awake upon bt connection. This would at least automate the process upon initial Bluetooth connection followed by an immediate call. Doesn't fix the problem of a user wanting to initiate a call on a stable idle connection though... gonna keep digging a little more.
I'm using an LG headset I got for 6 bucks from newegg 2 years ago. More reliable and better battery life by far than the 2 previous 70 dollar motorolas...

I didn't really grasp what you are talking about, but I'll take your word for it.
BTW, I did a search on appbrain for 'screen timeout' as I thought there might be something useful to you. Here's the link:
http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=screen timeout
This is very annoying and it happens a lot when I'm listening to a podcast or music in my car using the aux port. It also seems to happen a lot when my data is turned off and my phone is picked up and put down randomly. Really starting to piss me off and I have disabled voice command settings to no avail. Anyone else having problems like this and what can I do to solve this without root? I also just updated to the latest ota so I'll have to see if it fixes this problem later.

If it's the same thing, it happened to me also. It's the program called Voice Mate. You need to freeze or disable that program and all is good. Try settings/application manager and go to the "all" tab. Search for anything that has "voice mate" in it. Disable it.

Are you rooted? If so, use Titanium Backup to freeze it.
Did anyone find a solution this problem? It is happening to me too (especially when I'm playing music or when 4g is off) and I can't disable Voice Mate because it is greyed out.

Took me weeks to figure out but I had to download the swift keyboard app, then remove my PIN to get into the phone, then go into SETTINGS, BACKUP & RESTORE, then Factory data reset.
Be sure to backup all your data first.
I read another post last night in the LG G3 General Forum about this issue. Several of the posters stated that the 3.5mm audio plug is causing the voice mate and voice command to activate when using the headphone port. Several people also stated that they could duplicate the concern repeatedly by turning or twisting the plug. Don't know if it helps anyone here but it looks like the same complaints I read about last night. I'll see if I can find the OP that discussed the issue and post it back here if I can.
Has anyone found a solution? It's happening the same thing to me. Every time I wanna use the jack port (just to listen to music), Voice Mate pops out and it's really getting on my nerves!! I wanna get rid of it, but I can't delete it, just deactivate it (and I did, but it keeps popping out)... I don't wanna be root, because I'm scared of messing up my phone. If any of you guys found the solution without being a root, I'd be truly thankful for life!
OH MY GOD IT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO ME TOO AND I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY.
I found that it may have been related to water -- when I was running and getting sweaty, or it was raining, the problems were happening. So in terms of what I've done, I have frozen: LG VoiceCommandSpeechPack, Voice Command, Voice Mate, and Voice Mate Engine. This didn't fully fix the issue -- now, I just get random pauses and unpauses occasionally and it's due to the same problem of the jack port being wonky. It fits perfectly, it's not jimmying inside the port or anything but it's definitely re-creatable, it's such an annoying issue...
It's weird, after many restarts and cache clears the issue has definitely gone away, where before it made listening to music unbearable now it happens once in a blue moon, again subjectively I think it might be moisture or water or something.
This began harassing me also two days ago. Nothing fixes it that an ordinary user can get to, including what little I can get to with Google Settings/Search & Now/Voice/OK Google/. In my case, I cannot manually cause the effect by doing anything with the 3.5mm audio jack on the phone or any of several earbud jacks. Think I am going in to my cell phone vendor tonight after work and raise my voice a little to see if I can get them to fix the problem. Sux! Almost makes the cell phone unusable.

I have a Sony Z3+/Z4.
The app Phone Call Management is re-detecting a headset plugged in so my music stopped randomly. Sometimes it would work for hours. Then there are times when it stop every 3 seconds. I can't replicate the exact cause.
I used TB to disable it and everything is fine.
1. How can I fix it? What else could be affecting it?
2. What's Phone Call Management? Google doesn't have an answer.

To answer 2 look in settings in all apps category find Phone Call Mangement. If it says something like com.google.[App Name Here] or com.Sony.[App Name Here] then it's best to leave it alone if it's by something else then disable it and see if that fixes your issues if not I don't really have another solution as I haven't owned one of these devices first hand.

It seems to be the ROM's problem. I flashed the original and NagasakiROM and it's still the same. I found a M-ROM from China and it's fine now.
