Hello!
First, let me please say that I am entirely new to the Android world (former iPhone owner). I absolutely love having a phone that runs on the Android system, but it is quite the adjustment! I'm slowly learning... or trying to.
A notification stating "Connected to Multimedia Station - multimedia station is currently connected" appeared on my phone. When this appeared, my phone was not connected to any other source. I am unable to exit out of this notification. Since it appeared, many aspects of my phone have changed and/or are not working. When the notification appeared, it altered my lock screen, home screen, and icons. Many apps will not open, and I receive an error message when I attempt to open them. In addition, my app store will no longer work. I cannot download any apps or make any updates. I receive error messages with those as well, and then the program force closes.
So, I guess my question is this: What in the world happened?? How do I exit out of this notification/program that randomly connected, and restore my phone to how it was previously?
Ok, so that's more than one question. I appreciate any and all assistance!
Ok, that even confuses me. Whenever it happened, do you by chance remember what you were doing? Plug it in to your comp? The wall? Anything? Have you tried rebooting or pulling the battery?

I actually was not using my phone when it appeared. My phone was simply on my work desk. When I had a moment, I picked up my phone to use it, and noticed what had happened. It was not plugged in to any source. I have not tried rebooting or pulling the battery... which seems like common sense to try, I'm sure, but I was afraid of messing it up even more! Just being cautious!
I would try to reboot and if you are unable to, then I would pull the battery.
Also, welcome to XDA and thanks for the thanks Make sure you hit the thanks button for those like the poster above me whenever someone helps you out. You're limited to only 8 thanks per day, so use them wisely

Hello! It's taken me quite some time to find my way here; have been reading and gathering questions/thoughts for some time on threads in which I am not permitted to post...I guess this initial foray is in this location because I too have been getting this "Connected to Multimedia Station" notification and see no resolution tothe issue - It has happened several times at work usually at a consistent time/location-- turning wifi/BT off does not resolve as doesn't Airplane mode- rebooting fixes it fine--yet inquiring minds need to know!

I, too, wish I knew from where this notification came. Rebooting does fix it, but only temporarily. The notification would appear again in only a matter of days. I have since installed a new rom, and I have not seen the notification since. Wonder if backing up the phone then wiping the cache would do the trick for good... but still, I also want to know why it happened in the first place!

I am using liberty rom and I have had that problem on this rom only. I find it happens when I have had my phone on for days straight. A simple reboot fixes it And makes my phone run faster. Nothing I have found works even freezing in titanium. Just reboot

Ok, so is anyone else having any of these problems:
- When using camera, screen turns off and on when it tries to focus.
- Receiving SMS issues until reboot.
- Issues going from 4G to 3G, or 3G to or from WiFi, or 4G to WiFi.
- Screen responsiveness issues.
- Random rebooting.
- GPS issues.
Most problems are resolved after a reboot but then come back progressively as I use the phone. I'm rebooting 3-4 times per day. I thought this was Android, not BlackBerry...
I'm not rooted and have already factory reset like 2 or 3 times. My Dinc didn't even have this many problems. :/

Also, when listening to music for a certain amount of time, it just stops and then phone becomes unresponsive till reboot. Not sure if that is a PowerAMP issue or not.

Try flashing an update.zip rom of your device using recovery mode. Might need root. Depends on devices though. Mg N1 works without rooting.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Where would I be able to get that? And how do I boot into recovery? My Incredible was rooted and before the last update, it was power and volume down. Then after the update, it changed to power and volume up.
Also, I did reboot my phone and my camera still doesn't work. I'm going to try to clear the data from the application manager
UPDATE: Clearing data from camera didn't have an effect
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I guess you should Google for the steps to go into recovery for Incredible... not familiar with it.
For the rom go search your build number on XDA. You can use custom ones too I guess.
But sometimes it goes 'signature verification failed. Action aborted'. Ask senior members for that. I cannot solve it.

What kind of screen responsiveness issues are you having? Mine seems to "slow" down a lot after a day and a half of uptime, a reboot fixes it but it's annoying to have to reboot that often just because the touch input slows down so much I can't use the phone.
Are there any apps out there that are known to make the photon unresponsive? Mine is rooted, locked and stock. My phone will just lock up for 30 seconds or more. When trying to start an app nothing will happen for long periods until they finally starting. Also when typing in the browser, often the browser will just shut down while I am typing. Any ideas appreciated
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
you might try a battery pull, or a factory reset. has this started after you installed anything new? try a factory reset but dont install any programs and let it sync and run for a day or so to see if the problem persists. if it does, try unrooting back to 100% stock and see if the issue is still there.

I have a similar experience. From time to time, when I type, the letters appear in the keyboard app but not actually in the field in which I'd like to to type. And when this is happening, I am also not able to call ANYONE! I must reboot and sometimes do a battery pull to get things back in order. NOT COOL! What if I am in trouble and need to make a quick phone call? It might be too late by the time I pull out the battery and restart.
Actually the entire app (browser) closes while typing.
I removed a few suspect apps and it seems to have calmed down.......
Will see how it goes. I hate to have to nuke the whole phone and start over

happens to me too... even when doing a "fast reboot" it doesn't necessarily fix it either... doing that along with actually turning off and on seems to do it...
I am starting to suspect the car dock app. The phone starts acting up after I have used the dock

My phone randomly rebooted 7 times today and I don't even own a car dock! I cannot find the source of the problem(s). Btw, this is my 2nd phone for the same reasons. I haven't even put all of my apps back on it yet. I may do another reset to see what happens.
Occasionally, since I rooted my Amaze, I see an icon in the notification area that looks like an upside-down teardrop with an exclamation point and the notification text says "Set current time - Tap here to change your settings."
Sometimes I've seen this after reboot, other times it happens completely randomly. The time is correct on the phone... Why does this notification come up?
Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can offer.

In settings Date & time there is an option to automatically get the time from the network, if this is ticked and you happen to lose your signal when it is checking you will get that error..

Thanks so much for the quick reply. So to your point about "if this is ticked and you happen to lose your signal when it is checking you will get that error.." - this has nothing to do with root? It's just a freak thing that happens occasionally?
I only ask so that I can understand more and try to learn more about my phone.
Thanks again.
It's not a root thing, just Sense looking for information and not being able to find it so gives an error.

Good to know. Guess I was just lucky enough to never notice it before I rooted, and now it happened twice so I guess I got concerned something was wrong. It could always be corrected manually each time, or - as was the case this morning - it eventually just went away!
Thanks again. Really appreciate the help.
Depending on what you flashed, it may have to do with your kernal or rom systematically turning off your connection to save battery and then if that runs you get the error. (my thoughts)
No. Nothing to do with root. My amaze is still a virgin, and I get this error once in a while as well.
As other poster mentioned, uncheck the set time with current internet or whatever it says it will stop.

So whats happening is, im streaming pandora or spotify and the music just shuts off about a minute after the screen does. And when i turn the screen on the wifi icon at the bottom right is blank for a few seconds, then turns grey, then blue and the music starts again.
I have checked the option to never turn off wifi and installed wifi keep alive, and tried regpon keep alive but neither are working. I've also been through all the power options and unchecked anything that would suspend my network connection.
I know its not a router issue because I'm getting full bars and everything is fine as long as the screen is active and my other devices do not lose internet connection.
I'm also not using a Dongle. Any ideas?

Yes I did.
Unless there is something non standard about the TFP there would be no reason that your streaming apps couldn't retain a WiFi lock - Android programmers guide here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/mediaplayer.html.
If a program such as regpon is needed then I see that regpon was last updated January 2011 - is it worth trying some other apps?

I've had this same problem, and it started after the Jelly Bean firmware update. Doing a factory reset didn't help. I tried contacting ASUS' service department, but they sent me back a boiler plate response just telling me to do another factory reset. As far as I'm concerned, the tablet was broken by the update. It's pretty much useless for any task that doesn't involve the active use necessary to keep the screen awake. I'm going to try calling ASUS this weekend when I have time to sit on the phone, but I don't expect much. At this point I doubt its something I could fix myself (unless I root the thing and spend time poking around for whatever hidden setting is forcing wifi off during sleep) and am resigned to the tablet being broken baring some patch from ASUS.
I've seen some similar reports from other devices too though. Yet not a single solution other than trying those two apps (which didn't work for me either). I don't know if its ASUS' particular Jelly Bean setup or a more general Jelly Bean bug.
My wifi's turning off while the tablet sleeps as well. It's really annoying; hope Asus figures out some sort of solution for this.

Thanks for the info. I did notice the problem after the jellybean update. I also just did a factory reset twice to try and fix the issue to no avail. Hopefully Asus rolls out a firmware update soon.

Go to wifi settings. Hit the menu and go to advanced. Uncheck the box to disable wifi on sleep. Its a little tricky with JB as the menu button is up at the top. It should look like 3 little dots sacked vertically.

Although I appreciate your help, the problem isn't that we haven't set Wifi to stay on during sleep (or unset an option for it to be disabled during sleep). The problem is that our configuration choices are being wholly ignored or overridden by some setting we can't see. For example, my Wifi Advanced Settings is missing two of the settings that are visible in the screenshot you've posted. I've included what I see. I've also included a shot of the ASUS Customized Settings menu which also has a wifi use during sleep option.
The Wifi Timeout option on your screenshot has caught me eye though. It seems like there is something hidden on my tablet (and the others experiencing this problem) that is similar to that option. Again, this wasn't a problem for me before the Jelly Bean upgrade. Setting Wifi to always stay on during sleep under ICS worked just fine.

My WiFi goes to sleep as well.
As the others I enabled all the settings to keep WiFi on.
Wondering if anyone has had any traction on getting this issue isolated or resolved. I have come across the same Wi-Fi sleep problem.

I don't want to speak too soon, but the latest update seems to have fixed things for me. The patch notes mentioned that they adjusted the wifi configuration to recognize Chinese characters. Maybe the changes they made also corrected our problem. I'm also on my family's router while home fpr the holidays. I'd read that some users in JB regaedless of their device were having this problem with older routers.
I am curious to here if it is resolved for you. I have done the JB update to 10.4.2.18 which had that fix and I still see this problem. In addition it happens on any network I connect to so I don't think the issue is there.
Thanks

shouldnt have to. a streaming app should keep the wifi alive.
I've tested my tablet with all the posted setting set to keep WiFi on during sleep while streaming Pandora and it works fine. I let my Prime sleep for over 10 minutes without interuption. I don't know if this makes a difference but I am docked and using the Pandora app not streaming through my browser (Boat). I then set my Prime to shut off WiFi at sleep and Pandora (on the app) kept straming until Pandora timed out. Strange indeed.
I'm on 10.4.2.18 not unlocked or rooted.

Noob here.......
I saw this post and have just run into this problem myself.
When my tablet screen sleeps, my alarm apps won't work, and none of my mail gets pushed UNLESS I have it charging.
Why does this happen, and is there a work around? I've designated my wifi to never sleep/always be on.
I'm using an Onda v972.
I had a rooted Nook Color, and this never happened with that. Same programs.
Thanks for your input.

I have solved it I have same problem on my tablet and I fix it by downloading an app called WiFi advance Locke

Hi,
Has this problem been resolved? When the tablet goes to sleep Skype notifications no longer sound.
I keep the Skype app running in the background at all times. WiFi is set to not disable.

I tried all of those combinations but neither worked. Took the cell to a VZW store and they replaced it. Everything is good with this one, so the old was just faulty. Are you guys using any screen protectors or cases?

When this happens, go to advanced Wifi settings and check your IP. Most likely you have a 169. address and no useful default gateway. This generally happens when DLNA IP option is enabled and your DHCP server isn't fast enough for the [bad] rom settings provided by HTC. If that's the case, the just disable that option and cycle Wifi.
im having a problem as well just got my dna yesterday and it seems when its asleep for a bit i awake it and then disconnects flashes to 4g connected back to my network but i have no activity at that moment then i have turn wifi off and on to get it back
i know its not my network no other problems with over 5 other devices and never had a problem with any phone for years
My girlfriend has this issue with her DNA. They replaced it with a brand new one, same issue. We have a wireless router that has 3 laptops, another phone, two tablets plus my friends phones and tablets when they come over, no issues for anyone. But the two DNA's we have tried, do.
Connects, and then it says it is connected but stops working after a short time. Shows that it is connected but anything that requires internet sits there spinning. Disable Wifi and it kicks over to 4G and emails and stuff starts flooding in. Go into Wifi settings and turn it back on, and it seems like it keeps turning itself on and off, like it is stuck in a loop.
Both DNA's, same exact issue. BOth stock, non-root, both have had hard resets, nothing seems to fix it. Some searching on Google says that the issue, while not common, it's all that un-common either. Seems to be an issue with the phone itself.

it really isn't a big deal. If you have to return it for any reason bricking it or reverting it to stock isn't a problem and in all the years I've been working with Android, out of tens of thousands of users that I've had exposure to, I've never once have i heard of a carrier denying warranty work because of a phone being modified. they're generally just not smart enough to even know how to check if they even care to check. The only thing that I've heard about is people walking into store and telling them that the phone has been modified. In that case they will use it against you. Anyway you're better off with a third party ROM and a better kernel for this phone.

I'm having the same problem but the DLNA option was already turned off by default. Wifi works right after a restart and then stops working a short time later. Once it stops working, I get a blank screen when I try to view the available wireless networks, even though this screen was populated with multiple networks previously. Frequently, I get a "Process com.android.settings isn't responding" message. I had these exact issues with my first DNA and Verizon sent me a replacement. Same issues with the replacement. Anyone else experiencing this?
