Is anyone else having the audio jack problem - HTC EVO 3D

When ever i have headphones hooked in or have it hooked up to my dewalt radio through audio jack the songs skip randomly to new songs. Dose anyone else have this problem? Can it be fixed?

It is because the jack is t-r-r-s style, tip, ring, ring, sleeve, to accommodate the microphone. Standard stereo headphones are t-r-s. For some reason they don't line up exactly. You could try to find a trs female to trrs male adapter or I have seen some people open up their phones to try and fix it. I had the same problem on my Evo 4G.

Thats weird i never had that issue with my old evo and my girfriends not havin it with her 3d either

Duplicate. Sorry

had this problem on the evo 4g. you know you have the problem when you see the headset icon at the top of the screen after plugging in headphones. the fix: download headset blocker from the market. it's a widget that, when turned on, will recognize your headphones as headphones rather than headset. you'll know it's fixed because you will see a headphone icon instead of the headset icon. and notice there will be no more unwanted track skipping. worked on evo 4g and works on evo 3d.

It depends on the jack you plug in. Some do it, some don't. Make sure the jack is pushed in completely; it might not be in all the way even if it plays audio perfectly.
The reason it skips is because the phone supports headphones with inline player controls (prev, next, play/pause buttons) and if the jack touches the wrong connections, the phone thinks one of the remote buttons was pressed.

Where can I get compatible headphones with these inline controls? Or better yet, does anyone make just the controls with a jack for my headphones? Any discussion of this on the forum?

Download headset blocker in the market
Bussin Caps n 3D

just started having this problem but mine trys to call the last number dialed but quickly hangs up then launches the voice dialer. sometimes it launches the media player skipping the songs. And the headset icon shows up not the headphone.

ICS update
Does anybody know how to fix this problem using ICS. Headset blocker is not compatible with ICS so I cannot install it!

Music skips via bluetooth

Hi, is there a resolution to my HTC EVO 3D skipping (more like it stops playing then resumes in about a second or 2) my music via my Bluetooth motorcycle helmet. I did not have this issue with my HTC Hero.
I have the same problem, or issue...i have a ChatterBox GMRS X1 Bluteooth that I use to listen to music while riding to work. Mine skips just like yours every once and a while and I have come up with the to the following conslusions
1) The OTA update that I have not applied sets off a ringtone every so often, this cuts out music for a second then returns - this is by far the most repetitive reason I can come up with
2) Incoming Text Messages play a ringtone, thus cutting out the music for about 2 seconds, then returning to normal.
3) Incoming Phone Calls - this again plays a ringtone and cuts my music out for about 10 seconds, then returns to playing normal.
4) When using Pandora vs. my music library...driving 60 miles up 95 I tend to loose signal or "hop" a lot, so my 3G will cut out for a second or it will re-buffer the song, then play again.
Those reasons above are all what I've noticed when listening to music via bluetooth. I do not use a bluetooth headset for phone calls, I've never liked them. Also, if you take away 1-3 and I listen to my music library on my SD card, I've never had my bluetooth cut out or skip. Hope this info helps.

mine skips to on my blue ant t1,just holding it or sitting next to it on the table and it skipd when im listening to my music,thought it was the mp3 missing data from downloading but its not...anyone have any other idea's or maybe know how to fix this proplem?
I also have this problem. I am using the Nokia BH-214. Every once in a while it freezes and resumes after about half a second.
I'm using a Plantronics Backbeat 903 and have the same issue. Didn't have this before on my E4G.
I really hoping that HTC fixes this issue since It's really an inconvenience when listening to music in that manner.

No problems with my jawbone. Any ideas?
works fine in 2011 sonata and my plantronics headset
same here...skipped a lot when I was at the golfing range. never had that problem with my hero using my jawbone icon
I've been having this same issue using the Plantronics Backbeat 903+. It almost seems like somehow the G sensor is causing the interference. If my phone is sitting on the desk, it plays without a problem, even if I am walking around. If I am carrying my phone though, it pauses, unless I keep my phone level. Could that possibly be affecting it?
Could be since I was on my motorcycle when it was pause and skip, but when I was not moving it was fine.
same skipping issue with multiple music players and jaybird jf3/freedom bluetooth stereo headset. im running steelrom 1.01 and net's kernel.

Download Headset Blocker from the market, it's a widget so you have to turn it on if you don't want music to skip when the headphones are plugged in. Hope it helps

Notice it happens when I hold the phone upsidedown, then it would stop playing music for a second or two, then start again.

Does it work for Bluetooth devices?

[Q] is anyone else having a problem with audio playback?

Hey, i got the evo 3D which is an awesomely fast phone. The issue i am having is with my music playback on the phone.
when i play a song it will play a couple songs, then dial the last called number, end the call, skip to the next song, and repeat.
The problem is inconsistent and only happens when i plug my audio jack in. on the other end of the jack is my aux input to my head unit. it also happened in my friends car with her cassette to aux cord.
I went to the sprint store and the associate googled it, apparently there is one other person with my issue. anyone else out there with the issue and a possible fix?
im ready to go back and do an exchange. and hope they put it under software issue. they have done it for me once before for an issue with my Evo 4G.
any feedback would be appreciated.
headset blocker from the marketplace. it's a widget. you're welcome =)
I have the same problem when I connect my audio jack to my car stereo.apparently,its sending some stray signals and causing my evo 3d to go crazy,headset blocker widget fixes this and widget needs to be enabled to work.

My problem is that after I open an app or make a call the music turns off then when I go to play it there is no volume even with it all the way up

playing music via Bluetooth?

Has anyone gotten this phone to work playing music through your car stereo through Bluetooth?
I'm paired fine and calls come through stereo, but music still comes through phone speaker. My gf isn't around atm or i'd ask her(she got her HD7 to do bluetooth music on my stereo).
I at least know that once it's paired, it's a phone setting.
I have mine paired with my Sony Bluetooth car stereo and it plays fine. I did have one instance where it played through the phone speaker but it corrected itself the next day.

There should be an option depending on what music player you are using to determine what output you are using. Kinda like if you had a bluetooth earbud, you wouldn't want to play music through it, just receive your calls through it.

So all you did was just pair, started music player, then it automatically went through Bluetooth?
No matter what I do, it just keeps going through phone speaker(only calls go through Bluetooth). I've tried with default music player and poweramp.
I don't have anything bluetooth to try, but there are no options at all to choose output path either in BT or Music player?

Under advanced Bluetooth options there is one labeled FTP Server which I believe you need to have on in order to stream music. Hmm... Tried turning Bluetooth on and off on both the phone and stereo, even rebooted phone. Blah!

When you pair a headset that is stereo capable, it will pair to 2 things, phone audio and media. Have you tried to unpair and pair and see if that fixes it?
I have paired my Rezound with a set of bluetooth stereo headphones and also with my car stereo. I have noticed that the media audio connection is intermittent. It always *says* that it is connected to media audio, but sometimes the sound comes out of my phone speaker anyhow. I have not figured out how to fix this. It seems to happen randomly (more frequently with my car stereo than with the headphones, but it has happened with both). All I can recommend is to go into a Disconnect/Unpair/Pair/Connect loop until you get it to work. It might also help to power cycle your phone. I just did that last night and it paired and connected properly with my car stereo this morning.
This all of course assumes you have checked "Media" under the options screen for the device with which you are pairing.

If it behaves like any other Android phone, when it links up to a bluetooth connection with the audio profile enabled, it should automatically route it's sound to bluetooth, there's no setting in the music player to toggle that.

My car has the option for bluetooth media and when I sync'd the phone to the car last night for the first time it worked flawlessly I didn't have to to anything special. I don't think it's a problem with the phone, maybe the car stereo?
I suspect the phone since I've seen the same intermittent problem both with my car stereo and my headphones. Plus I never had any problem with my original Droid with both those devices.

Update: did a plain old pair with the HTC HD7 again and the music came through the stereo just fine. Tried again with the Rezound and still keeps going through the phone speakers. Oh well... My fault for trusting HTC.. ;P

Bluetooth issues

I am running CM10 on my evo 4g lte. I am trying to connect my phone through bluetooth in my car. I have a kenwood kdc x696 stereo. My phone connects fines with bluetooth, handles call fine but I try to use pandora and play music there is constant crackling through my speakers. If anyone has had this issue and has found a way to fix it. I am about to return my stereo see if that helps, but I dont think its the stereo. I think its my phone. I dont need the bluetooth i can use a cable but having the bluetooth is just easier. Any help would be awesome.

i think i changed the settting the right way. audio through bluetooth still crackles through the speakers. I have decided to exchange the stereo for a different one. Everyone I have talked doesnt seem to know why. I guess we will see what happens. If this doesnt work I guess I will just to go using aux input.
I have this issue with just my wife's EVO, mine sounds great over Bluetooth,but hers has a horrible crackle, both stock JB, any ideas of what it could be?

Sounds like a bluetooth module error. Calls on older bluetooth at least is mono but music is sterio so it is different. Try a firends bluetooth headset to test. Get your phone replaced. If it still breaks or pauses. I think it is a heat issue. Also try mono mp3 or .wav format.

[Q] VZW S4 Bluetooth and Headphone Jack

Ok with any other phone I have owned in the past I have been able to plug it in my aux jack in my car to stream music but use my BT to make/take calls. The music would pause during the call and when the call ended it would resume playing through the headphone jack.
The S4 refuses to do this, it is extremely a special kind of retarded.
I have researched CSC feature.xml and others/xml codes and build.prop
What is needed to make this work?
I dont want to use LINK as I feel it is just another layer added to what is not needed. I just want it to work like the GNex, N4, DX, Dinc, D1, D2, Charge, and all the other android phones I have owned in the past running both stock (rooted/unrooted) and CM based roms.
Anybody have an idea on what is needed?
What exactly is it refusing to do? Pause when you get a call? What music player (the player must respect the media intents to pause/mute and that has nothing to do with the phone/ROM in that respect).
If something is plugged into the headphone jack and I have a bluetooth device paired and on. When a call comes in it goes through the headphone jack and through bluetooth. If I unplug the cable from the headphone jack then it allows me to use bluetooth to take our talk on the call.
This is the only phone I have owned that does not allow me to pay music through the headphone jack and take calls through bluetooth without having to unplug the cable from the headphone jack.

I have the exact same issue with my Samsung S4 and have previously used the HTC Thunderbolt without any issue in my car the same manner.
Somehow the BT audio and mic becomes disabled during calls while the headphone jack is plugged in, if there is a way to enable this and disable audio from the headphone jack that would be the solution. So far I have not found a way to do this through any of the settings, very disappointing. It may need a programmatic solution unfortunately...
The sound quality from aux to bluetooth is minimal....why not just use bluetooth? Your making more work for yourself. You'll get calls...the audio will mute...then resume when calls end. I do this in my car...sounds and works just fine.

Guessing they don't have Bluetooth built into their cars. They are using a headset for calls and an aux jack for music.

Exactly... If u wanted my calls to route through my car I would not mind this. I take my calls privately and thus why I do it this way. I know I can setup multiple bluetooth devices and disable phone on one of them. But I have not found a bluetooth adapter to my liking yet.

Bluetooth not working correctly
This is definitely a bug on the s4. In the car I have Bluetooth and an aux Jack. The phone connects fine to Bluetooth and works as long as I'm not using the aux to play music in the car. If I'm listening to music through the aux/headphone jack and I get a call. Bluetooth recognizes the call, music on the phone stops playing, but when I answer, I cannot hear anything. If I unplug the headphone jack I can hear the call. This has been tested on different cars, different roms including stock, and always worked fine on previous phones. Can anyone help? It's easy to reproduce, not sure why more people haven't noticed.
Unfortunately, from what I read somewhere, this isn't a bug, it was intentional by Samsung.
I'm in the same boat, I use BT for my calls in the car, but the headphone jack for music out. If there's a cable plugged in, you can't even manually force a BT connection, it's grayed out and unavailable. Unplug the jack, and BT kicks in and picks up the call. Very inconvenient to say the least.
Any way around this?
I also have a question about how the Samsung will work with this in mind. In the past I have used a Motorola cable that has a micro usb plug on the phone end, and a full size usb and a 3.5mm aux out jack on the other. It allowed me to charge the phone and take the music out when docked in the car. Would this work with this phone? Has anyone tried it yet?
Here is a link to the cable I'm talking about.....

Can't just deselect the "media" (a2dp) profile for your vehicle?
Sent from my device that can send.
I just noticed the same issue with my aux plugged in for music and BT for phone and received a call but could not hear anything. Could make and end calls but no sound in my car.
Seems like both get disabled when a call comes in and the phone is paired. Unplug the aux and BT works for calls fine.
I did some research and ending up purchasing Sound About Pro from the market for $2.99 and it solved the problem. It lets you force the calls to BT or AUX for that matter.
And yes, it still pauses the music and resumes when call is done.
$2.99 to fix a Samsung problem stinks but it works now

so with the defaults and A2DP turned off you can make your calls without unplugging cable...and do you use widget to turn it on and off or does everything else work normally with it on as well? i had phone call audio set to force bluetooth and sometimes after unplugging aux cable then going to headphones it would play through speaker until i switched widget off...will try with defaults when in car again, just curious how it works with you..

I tried sound about and one problem I'm having is when using headphone jack for music and bluetooth for calls it won't play audio for voice dialing through bluetooth but once you make the call it goes to bluetooth. I use Google for voice dialing much faster than svoice. Seems like the first time it works then later after playing music it doesn't. Any setting I should change in sound about
