[Q] Audio problem on stock 2.3.3 rooted [SOLVED] - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

i got the ace last week its been amazing til now, it is on 2.3.3 in the box, and i rooted it and added custom recovery for future use,
when i am listning to music (just got a 16gb class 10 card) it plays absolutely fine,
but once the device tries to sleep (screen timeout or lock button) it jumps for about 100ms (no sound) and does this for about 1 second, and continues to play as normal.
and the same happens when i wake the device, its pretty annoying now that i have a 16gb sd card and spend £150 on this phone lol
ive noticed its not so bad without headphones,
today the ace had no music player playing, and i had headphones in, and some music is playing out of the loudspeaker. do you think this sounds like a hardware fault?
anyone else have this problem? or working on another stable rom (2.3 if possible)
EDIT: I think i may have diagnosed the problem, i had 'root helper' enabled on the app widgetlocker, ive turned it off and just running widgetlocker without root functions and there is less lag. i may post to the developer then with this

Try using DSP manager mightily help....

cheers, would dsp manager make it worse as it uses more resources? i dont know what the problem was on the root helper setting on widgetlocker, but ive reported it to the developer maybe they can figure out why

[Q] App similar to TouchWiz Music Player of SG3?

Hey guys, i've been having some problems with the stock music player that came with Kyrillo's v6.0 ROM. It crashes at random times when playing music or surfing through it's interface without any "Force Close" prompts of any kind. Just crashes.
(This problem is only with the stock player, rest of the apps work perfectly)
Tried all possible kernels with different clock speeds and still no result. The problem seems to be with the stock music player that came with Kyrillo's ROM.
So is there another music player app that has the similar UI in terms of how the songs and artists are displayed? I've tried a bunch of music player's but all of them have the same folder structure UI. I want a player that displays all the songs by the particular artist and not like this:
artist\(each individual album)\(songs of that album).
try this
Did you try wipe cache from recovery, Im sure thers a fix for this. its not a big issue. you dont have to look for other music players.
Yeah well after trying "everything in the book" and also doing a factory reset and cache wipe, i encounter the same problem! please has no one else experienced the issue?
try this too
Im surprised no one gave any suggetions.. Look, Iam not a dev or expert , but i can tell you its not a big problem. which ROM are you using? Did u try everything in the book including:
1. Formatting your sd card
2. Re-flashing ROM
3. Try different Kernel
4. Change the allocation size of your fat32 partition to a smaller value like 128. sometimes high values cause problems.
Look, if it were a hardware issue then any kind of 3rd party app should not work.
1. Yes
2. Lol this was done a thousand times for obvious reasons so yes. Tried every possible ROM (stock and modded).
3. Same as no.2. Tried around 9 different kernels!
4. I'm not sure if that would help at all.
This is something to do with the hardware outputing the sound. The time i bought the mobile phone with the 2.1 eclair stock ROM, it was working perfectly with no sound abnormalities.
The first time i installed a custom ROM i noticed the problem and it was so annoying that i downgraded back to the stock 2.1 eclair. But unfortunately after that the problem still remained no matter what ROM i chose. It seems like there isn't enough power to drive the earphones at the instant when the screen is turned ON or OFF. It stabilizes after that.
It's like a few milliseconds of a cracking sound. The same sound you experience when putting your earphone plug into a speaker jack or sound jack. A static cracking sound.
Someone on the forum said it was a kernel issue and that it would be fixed. I thought most people were having the problem with the current kernel. But any later releases didn't fix the problem. SORRY FOR THE LONG POST, and if you or anybody could please help me out i would be grateful
well, i guess theres nothing much left to try then, If it's still under warranty, then i suggest flash a stock froyo or eclair firmware, go to nearest samsung service centre & hope they fix the issue. (fight for it if you have to). I fought for my battery replacement (last day of my six month waranty!!) & got it too!
k will have to do that i think cause this is very annoying. anyways thx for the replies.

Gingerbread Audio Lag

It seems that the long awaited Gingerbread Update isn't bug free.
I listen often to music with my phone and i noticed that while using the phone during playback the audio stops, stutters or cracks when you rotate the phone.
I've tried all players and it affects every one....

i notice same thing.. and that flaw is simply hilarious..
and i have no idea why the whole system is just so lag as f***
The audio issues make me wanna cry.
Why cant there be a decent update for my X10?

There are actually two different problems with music playback on all stock GB based ROMs:
1. Music stutters when you are operating with phone (screen unlock, home button press, launching apps....) and wired headphones are connected.
2. Music skips for a second when played through bluetooth headset when phone idles. This happens mostly when the screen is off approx. once in a minute. Even when the wifi is off.
Wifi is known to interfere with A2DP Stereo headset music playback but this is not the case.
I experience both problems on stock and stock pre-rooted ROMs (fps uncap applied)
What ROMs are you guys using? Do you have fps uncap applied? (let's rule out this mod is not causing the problem)

I think it has to do with the new CPU governor introduced with Gingerbread and also the Multitasking disability Gingerbread itself introduced.
I have performed more tests. Findings are:
1. two problems I have mentioned are actually the same probably with a common cause.
Using BT the audio skips. Playing the music through wired headphones and stock music player it stutters. I have not noticed the stuttering before (because of 2.) as skipping is more noticeable.
2. using different player (I tried PlayerPro) the skipping and stuttering when phone is idle and screen off is significantly reduced. Not 100% sure but it might not be there at all.
Stuttering when screen is unlocked is still there. On PlayerPro it is actually more like a very short gap, instead of stutter.
3. Both stock music player and PlayerPro force-close every time when switching between wired and bluetooth playback without stopping the app first.
i have audio lags too... this is so sad
Greetings guys ,
I have similar problem , when i switch off the screen there is a millisecond pause of the music and then back on , this can happen also sometimes when the phone screen its off at random time .
I hope there is a fix for this soon.

I already have it since Friday. Until know even the biggest cache should be builded.
Hi do you have the pre rooted or stock and also what type of sdhc card ur using?
class 4 or 2?
I'm using a class 4 card, and I get a very little lagg of less then one second when turning screen on. Not annoying, but it shouldn't be like this. But that is maybe because phone is building cache.

U can only wait until se releases a new Update.
I alredy went back to 2.1 because i don't see any benefit from the laggy 2.3 experience.

Really hope SE releases a fix for this soon. This is definitely something they should not have overlooked considering how long they took with testing this update.
I've used Mixzing for over a year now. First thing I installed when I upgraded to GB.
I'm testing it out and using different scenarios but not getting any pauses or stutters in music. I may get the odd crack.
But Mixzing has settings to increase buffer size and one other setting that reads:
Leave Equalzer On?
Leave EQ on when in background on phones with bug that cause skipping
If you Google, You'll find some evidence of audio issues in GB on other devices, not just x10.
Anyone found a temporarily solution for this?

Tried Mixzing and even enabled huge buffer size but nothing changes. Inconsistant audio playback all the way...
I would just like to meet the developer and smash my X10 in his face!!!!

[Q] Neutrino v2.0 and above audio skipping

Has anyone else experience the same problem where their music would not play smoothly anymore Neutrino v2.0 and v2.1(p)? My music played just fine on v1.4.
I'm using powerAMP and I've already tried increasing the audio buffer and the audio thread priority and neither is fixing the problem. This happens both from the speaker and through the headphone.
I saw a post about this in the main dev thread no one else seemed to have followed up on it =(.

I think it has something to do with the 'Media step' mod, which I deleted from V2.0 onwards so it shouldn't be a problem...
Can you describe in more detail what happens?
The phone runs very smooth in all other aspects, but the audio would hiccup...as if I was listening to CDs that were scratched.
I have had the same experience. I have tried different music programs so it's not app-specific. I've also flashed a different kernel to see if that could be the problem.
I have noticed I do not get the same bugs as on different cm7 ROMs where the speaker wouldn't work at all after unplugging from the car dock so the trade-off's been worth it.
I only experiance this when the phone switches from 3g to H. And the slipping becomes extremely bad when I lose service for a bit. If I go to networks and select 2g only, it seems to somewhat fix it. Until I drop service. Used several different radios with the same result
I'm going a hunch that the tweak to the windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec in the build.prop is somehow interfering - I've edited mine from 150 to 50 and I think it sounds smoother on the speaker but that could just be deceiving. I'll update after I've used it in the car dock on my way home.
-Update-
To I'm sure no one's surprise, this did not work. Music still pops. Maybe once or twice every thirty seconds.
I just tried playing music in airplane mode and the music doesn't skip either with Wi-fi on or off.
Is this problem only with PowerAmp? Does it work fine with other music players?

Every music player. Stock, double twist, poweramp etc. I have tried them all.
Confirmed for me with every music player, not just with powerAMP.
TTT Any fix yet?
I've been looking into this over the weekend. It happens on all media players I've tested:
DoubleTwist
WinAmp
PowerAMP
Stock
Sometimes it is so subtle that you wouldn't noticed if you didn't literally have every nuance of a song memorized. I took logcat logs and marked every "skip" I heard, while playing video games with my headphones on for a few hours this weekend, but nothing stuck out of the logs.
This issue is not in 1.4S, but was in 2.0, 2.1, and still in 2.1P. Sorry I don't have any other useful info.

Will yours skip if in airplane mode? Mine doesn't.
mine actually skips in airplane mode aswell, but rarely...
See if it skips in V2.2...
Bad news...the audio still skips. I'm seeing that it happens often especially when there are changes in reception, like when it's switching between h+ and 3g...
I can happily confirm that setting SeCPU profiles to sleep at max and min @ 456mhz fixes the skipping.
Hmmm, I thought that would hinder the battery saving effects of clocking down. I've been clocking the CPU down to around 216-312 Mhz when my phone is idled.
Usually I'm playing audio on the phone when I'm driving and I have the phone plugged in to the car charger, I'll try to increase the min clock for when the phone is charging and report back.
I don't know if it's worth mentioning again, but with the same setting I have now in V1.4, the audio doesn't skip at all. I'll also test if this is happening with weekly #6 as well.
I realize this is a bit off topic, but seeing as how my issue is audio related I figured I'd give it a shot.
In short, my internal speaker is going in and out. There's no specific instances I'm seeing, but I can say I notice it most when it goes out during a phone call. A couple of times I've noticed a bit of a raspy sound, kind of like a loose speaker wire or skipping cd would make (which leads me to think it's the speaker itself).
That being said, if anyone else is having this issue I'd like to help out as best I can.
I'm on 2.2, btw. Currently running 100% EE, with the CM7 provided Google Apps.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for the intrusion.

[Q] ICS XLPQ Bluetooth streaming problem.

Hi all,
Since i've installed the official ICS rom on my phone i have one major issue.
When i stream music over bluetooth to my car hifi it lags, well it's worse then lag i cannot even hear the music it's like constantly stopping and playing like if someone was spamming the start stop button. I never had this problem with GB 2.3.6.
I somewhat found a workaround but it's rly annoying to keep doing this to hear music. What i do is just when i connect to my car hifi i start playing with the volume rocker buttons so i can hear it trough my car, when I'm doing this i press the play button on the music player then it works fine until i stop the car or go to FM and go back to BT
This is definitely software related because the workaround i just described makes it work again :S. I don't want to go back to GB do you guys know the cause of this and do you maybe have a fix? Is this issue solved in the newer version of ICS XLP2? All i saw is that all of them have the same kernel so i did not upgrade.
produc yllinke
I'm having exactly the same problem. I've never used 2.3 so cannot say if it's a 4.0 problem but it certainly looks like so..
I'm running resurrection remix 10 and use it on a Toyota TNS510 system..
Just a notice that this seems fixed for me now.
I've upgraded to the 4.0.4 Rom found here: Click!
Next to this i'm using the app "doubleTwist"
ICS talks a different language then gingerbread when it comes to A2DP, especially for the play/pause commands, which seem important to me..
Has anyone made reference to what the cause of the bug is in their code logs???
I did not find any solution for this problem. Some apps like poweramp have a solution internally which reduces my problems a bit. But when i use tune in for instance i still get hickups. Im using F1GalaxyNexus AOSP rom at the moment.

[Q] My SGS3 thinks that headphones plugged in when somebody calls me. WTF?

I have AutomateIt Pro app installed and i have created a profile to launch music player app when i plug headphones in.
When somebody is calling me, SGS3 shows in taskbar that heaphones plugged and it stars music player and messes everything...
I thought maybe it's AutomateIt Pro that's buggy, then i installed Tasker trial version, created the same kind of automation profile.
But i see the same behaviour again. It is really annoying. Why would SGS3 think that when there is an incoming call it means headset is plugged?
I'm running Omega 5.1 ROM with Siyah 1.1
The same was with Omega 4.2 and stock kernel
Any idea how to avoid that?
I not use AutomateIt Pro, but I had a similar problem, everytime I unplugged the earphone, the phones acted as it was still plugged in!! Afther talking with Samsung support, the solution was to hard-reset the phone. Afther I haven´t got the problem
I´m on stock rom and use the original earphones
I think it is different problem than yours
