FM radio bug in ics! - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Anyone experience a low volume and unclear sound when turn on FM radio! It happens occasionally, usually after a daily use and i listen to the radio at night! First i thought there's a problem with the channel, i turn to another channel the sound still the same! After a reboot everything work fine! But i have to reboot my phone most of the time for listening to radio!

Yeah, I have noticed it as well. Don't know what is causing it though? It usually takes a reboot to get it back to normal.

[Q] Music Skipping

So I've been using this phone for a while and use it daily on my commute to work with the car dock to listen to music. I can't help but notice that the music seems to skip more than I think it should. It's a really small thing but it just has really started to annoy me.
I'm rooted but running stock rom and use Google music to play my music. From what I've experienced the device acts like the music service doesn't have a high enough priority when playing and some other running service interrupts it for just long enough to cause a skip. Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas for a tweak that might fix this issue?
I use Google Music daily and haven't seen that problem yet, so it probably isn't an inherent problem.
Need more details, like are you using Bluetooth, using wifi, do you have any rogue apps that may be taxing your system?
Maybe do a speed test when you get a skip just to see if it may be a bandwidth problem.
I've noticed the google music app has a tendency to think a song is way shorter than it actually is and skips to the next too early. Really hard bug to get rid of once it starts.

Try clearing your music cache. It just didn't get the while song cached.

Maybe it skips cause data where you're at blows like my area?
Have you tried changing your proxy settings in ##data# ? Should help with the streaming.
I have no issues with data streaming, the problem occurs even after fully cached. As I said I believe the issue resides in some sort of priority issue. Is out possible too change the base priority of the app our make some other memory our system tweak that may give a better result?

[Q] Notification sounds not playing through headphones

Curious if anyone else has noticed this / knows how to "fix" it.
When I have my headphones plugged in, the notification sounds (eg the default new message "whistle") comes out the speaker instead. The sound in the headphone (music) will mute during this. I've had to resort to turning the notification volume off during work hours, so the sound doesn't disturb others at work - surely these sounds should be coming through headphones while they are plugged in?
Hello,
I'm with the same issue! It's very odd...
Any thoughts about this? Btw, I'm not using stock headset (I'm not used to in-ear headphones).
Yeah add another +1 to this....!!!
Not tried with stock headphones I have a set of Bluetooth ones and I get all notifications through them .
I'll take look in settings .

Actually I double check again, theres a "notification" sound going through headset. the only problem is it's playing simultaneously with the phone speaker. Really annoying specially if I'm in the office cause others can hear the notification sound too.
An android bug, apparently

This is a long-standing Android bug that manifests on many, though not all, phones. Google for "android notification sounds headphones" and you find many complaints about it, and a Google bug report with comments going back to 2010.
There is a apparently an easy way to patch it if your phone is rooted (though I cannot find info on exactly HOW) and there is a script here on XDA for use with the Tasker app ($6 or so in the Playstore) that can address it.
Other than that, the only thing to do to minimize annoyance to your coworkers is turn notification sounds to silent when using headphones. There are volume profile apps that can do this automatically.
In this bug report https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6696 and this one https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16667 it said that's a problem with ICS, that is supposed to be fixed in JB and that CM have their own fix for this.
Let's hope that S3 JB release will fix it.
this problem has been bugging me too..hope its fixed in the next update.

[Q] Sound randomly not working.

Randomly, my sound will quit working. Ring tones, notifications, alarms, and music and other sounds won't play or make noise. A restart normally fixes the issue for a while. Anyone know what's going on?
I'm thinking maybe Android Tuner is closing a service for sound when the screen is off. Idk what service it is to even check though.
2/9/13: not really anything seems to be triggering this, actually. It just happens. Can't really replicate it, but it happens almost certainly now within 15 minutes.

Have you flashed a sound mod? Certain options in the acid mod will break sound.

No sound mod, no mods at all actually. Using the Nocturnal ROM.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
This seems to happen when I either have the phone locked cause I'm not using it for a while or if I'm in a different sound profile.
EDIT: Also, when this happens, PowerAmp, not sure about another media player, will not play music. Pressing play changes the icon to the Pause button like a song is playing, but the file will stay at 0:00.
Seems that the play store, Google now, or maybe the task manager is killing my sound. Any ideas?
Also, voice features don't work when this happens. Nothing I do like changing ringtones or playing a game starts the sound up again. Reboot is the only solution.

Seems like its something we can't really pin down. Personally I'd probably just try wiping a bunch of stuff and reinstalling.

Yeah, I did another full wipe, even though I've tried several, and it seems to be gone now. Knock on wood though.
I cleared a bunch of old folders from my external sd card before the last wipe so that may have affected it. It was taken out of another phone, and I didn't format it to clean it, so who knows.

It is my understanding that Nocturnal Rom has the sound mods built in, so you are using them.
I have the same thing on mine using the mod package on The Base Rom.

Audio issues 4.4

Just curious if anyone else is having trouble with playing audio on 4.4 Roms. The music plays fine but I keep getting audio glitches throughout the songs at random intervals. I am running kitkang with viper4android. I don't think it's the audio mod because before I installed the driver on the latest nightly it was still glitching. Thanks for any input guys!

This happens with plugged jacks too? All aosp ROMs from 4.2 have had Bluetooth audio issues exactly like you describe, but none through the headphone jack...

Yes this happens while running through the headphone jack, I never use BT
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Ugh I think this issue is a double edged sword, after more troubleshooting I found that switching lpa.decode to true stops the glitches but also makes viper4android stop working. I guess I'll just have to wait for things to get worked out!
Edit: Come to find out after even more screwing around I finally found the culprit.........my kernel settings were not allowing to clock speeds to jump up fast enough to compensate for the audio processing, wow do I feel silly. Mod's you can delete this if you want!

Headphone Problems

Hey everyone, I've been having problems with my headphones but they're not the cause of the problem. Sometime when I want to listen to music on my N7100 I plug in the headphones press play but no sound comes out. Once I remove the headphones, reboot the phone, open play music and insert my headphones again I can usually listen to music again. This problem also occurs in different apps such as YouTube. The problem comes randomly. I am running CM 10.1.3. I would be very grateful if the problem is/can be resolved. Thanks a lot!!!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
That might be a software issue, so head over to the CM thread (if there is any) in the N7100 section and ask there. People will probably know what to do.
Will do thanks.
