lagg and music issues - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Am I the only experiencing lagg on my phone and I'm not talking about the home screen lag its just in general and its frooze on me a few times yesterday. So much for the 2gig ram. I've done two factory reset. Also now when I'm playing music and I get a text it sometimes just stops the volume on the phone but the music continues playing and I have to pause it and hit back or next to hear the volume again

If factory resets haven't helped, since it's so new, I think you should just get a new one!
The phone definitely does not usually have these issues.

Yea but what do I tell the rep at the store

[Q] Audio issues? Anyone else?

Just wanted to know if anyone else have audio issues. I'll explain.
When I leave my tablet to sleep some minutes, or a while, or some hours, sometimes after resuming it, it will not have sound anymore. And actually, any attempt of playing sounds (for example...the keyboard "tick" sound..) will make my tablet to play "SHSHSHHSHSHSHSHSH" (noise..) for about 4 or 5 seconds. This will repeat everytime I try to play something. The fix is to reboot, but its kinda depressing showing off the tablet and it fails like that D: LOL
Thanks!
last bump? Anyone?
I have not - it could be a hardware defect. Have you tried it in stock (or are you in stock right now?)
A few users have mentioned audio static at times, but I have never had this issue.
Never any problems since buying the tablet in late November. I would exchange the unit wherever you bought it.

That's exactly what mine is doing. After the reboot, it's fine...makes me think it's not hardware. I'm running TNTlite 3.1.2. Didn't have it in 2.4. What are you running? Also running the lag patch.
This actually just happened to me yesterday -- the "SHSHSHSHSHSHS" static playing quite loud. I muted all sound (i.e. Silent Mode) and it stopped -- but when I re-enabled sound and started an app with music, it returned.
BTW: I am running Vegan Beta 4...
Rebooted and it has gone away (for now) -- but I notice something strange now...
Perhaps someone else can reproduce this:
1) Put tablet in Silent mode (from settings, not via Volume rocker)
2) No sounds should be heard when clicking any apps in drawer, home button, etc.
3) Re-enable sound from Sound settings (Turn OFF Silent mode)
4) Using the volume rocker, turn the volume all the way down until it is supposed to be "OFF" (Media Volume Speaker is grey and has an "X" beside it)
5) Click on any apps in drawer, you should hear a very faint "click" when you select that shouldn't be there normally
Interestingly, it also happens for some touches of the capacitive "hard" buttons -- mainly Menu and Back since almost all apps have those options. "Home" and "Search" do not seem to trigger sounds...
A strange glitch to be sure but one I can live with (it's Beta software after all) -- wondering if anyone else has this as well?
**UPDATE: Weird...While the above problem still exists, I noticed that sound seems to play properly (i.e. without static, noise, etc) when you go into the Sound settings menu, select Volume, and turn OFF the "Use incoming call volume for notifications" -- which gives you an extra slider to set. After setting that slider to any value, the problem hasn't reappeared and sound seems clean (so far)
Perhaps not having the "phone" functions in the tablet borked the setting? Nothing to read from? And force assigning a value helps?
It happened to me for the first time yesterday watching videos on CNN. I believe it was the video about Brett Farve getting fined for not cooperating with the NFL. I stopped the video and started again, and it was fine from that point on.
Same here on zpad ...except no shhhh sound or whatever just silence when trying to play music....so annoying
actually even a reboot isn't fixing it now...still no sound at all
well im glad im not alone, i dont think its a hardware issue

Fwiw i flashed vegans latest build and probem is fixed for now...zpad ws causijg me all kinds of hell....but i liked it best
FYI: The "Shshshshshsh" came back on my GTablet last night and it was LOUD...
Had to reboot to get it to clear...muting sound didn't seem to work to stop it...
Will be flashing Vegan Beta 5.1 so hopefully it will go away with a Wipe...
Same problem here too... even happened in VEGAN 5.1 last night so I flashed to TNT Lite 4.0 and it happened there as well.
This happens when I use Fring. I get an extremely loud noise from connection till close. Since we are discussing sound issues, I'm not getting any sound from my avi files. It shows beautifully but no sound. I tried many players but no success. Anyone experience this?

I only get sound from ac3 encoded avi files when using rockplayer software decoding.
I get a constant low static noise thru headphones. Also a pop sound every now and then.

I occasionally get a nonstop static SHHHHHH that is only corrected by rebooting. Had it with every version of TnTlite, never happened when I had vegan
So hardware or software problem? Is anyone for sure yet?
now mine is doing something else strange....media volume, when hitting hte rocker is stuck on silent....when I go into sounds, make sure silent is off....and increase media volume under volume....then hit ok...I go back into volume and it has reverted back to 0%....can't figure it out...
vegan 5.1 with cleymson kernel
Same issue here. I have actually had it happen while using it from a fresh boot...no sleep

[Q] Weird sound issues on Vibrant

Hey,
I've had the Vibrant for a couple months now but its been having a weird sound issue as of late where the sound just dies.
The sound stops working randomly and its frustrating because I don't know what causes it. Whats odd is that he ringtones still work if I go to test them in the Sound settings (only the stock ringtones) but all other media doesn't work. Jukefox tells me the music file type is unsupported and the on-phone music player tries to play them then skips to the next over and over.
The only solution I have for this currently is to reboot the phone then the sound works for a random amount of time before it happens again. The only way I find out is when someone calls me and it vibrates instead of the ringtone.
Any ideas? This is quite frustrating. I've also done a factory reset and the problem persists. I'm under the impression it might be a 3rd party app.

Random Music plays!!!!

So my wife has the rezound and since the ICS update she says it seems like a new phone and loves it even better. just a note for those that are hating the ICS update.
But ......
there does seem to be a little bug that has been effecting it lately she says that music plays randomly out of the blue for no reason. It just starts playing for no reason whatsoever anybody else have this issue ?????
Is she hitting the button on her headphones?
slightly similar issue, I was listening to music via Google Play Music the other day, and after more than an hour of music, it would just start switching to the next song... then again.. and again until it was like every second haha. I messed with my volume hard keys (hold to skip song enabled), and with my beats hard controls and nothing ... later rebooted/fix permissions and it happens no longer. Try that perhaps, no?
bluetooth range
she must have came in and out of bluetooth range
Check to see if any of the songs on her phone is copy protected.
any song that ended with .m4p makes my phone go insane and just play random songs even if didn't touch the phone at all.
No
No she doesnt even play music on it. No headphones she gave them to her daughter when she got the phone. no music widgets the phone can be sitting idle and randomly play music. The only music she is connected to is my google music account but i dont even think any of it is synced to her phone she doesn't play music on it

[Q] Sound and Video suddenly stopped working

Hi guys,
Hi guys,
Sounds and ringtones have suddenly stopped working. Didnt do anything nor did the phone fell or something. :S
Another issue when i try to play any media file, it wont play, it just stops and never plays. I can move along the timeline of music/vdieo file but it wont play i.e. it remains paused but indicator stays along the timeline e.g. 3 minute song, i press play button, it stays on 00:00, then when i move slider to say 1:50, it goes there but nothing happens, just stays on 1:50. After few tries, app crashes.
Even system sound files are not playing, so i cannot receive any sound notifications from call or messages.
I've tried puting in microphones, same problem.
Did a full wipe reflash...still problem persists.
I do not think its necessarily a hardware problem because it just wont play media files. As I said, all music and video files are on auto-pause... no matter what i do, i can slide on timeline, but they just remain paused.
I have tried flashing different JB roms with full wipes etc, still same problem, tried different player apps, same issue. Phone is vibrant, which is old but this shouldn't be happening nonetheless. Tried Slimroms 2.8 and 3.0 and Paranoid android latest, no luck.
Another issue, when I get a call and i slide to accept call, phone gets stuck for 5-10 seconds and then accepts the call, really annoying.
I dont have the money to buy a new phone at this point in time, I just hope to get through with 2-3 more months and then replace *finally*. Your help will be really appreciated.
I tried asking this in Vibrant Q and A forums, no luck.
Thanks!
bump~!
edit: videos started working :S , but no sound

[Q] Installed game...now audio is messed up!

I installed some bowling game on my Lumia 920. The audio on my phone now sometimes works and sometimes doesnt. I will hear a little blip of audio when a notification sound goes off but it wont play the whole sound. If I play a song I just hear little clicks of audio. I have since un-installed the game and I can no longer find it in the store even though I downloaded it earlier today (I was going to try to reinstall it to see if it would fix it) Any advice to get the audio back to normal without having to do a factory reset?
I have already tried restarting it, and doing a soft reboot by holding down volume down and power button to restart it. Every once in a while the audio will work fine...but then it goes out again.
*update* I can get music to play just fine through the headphones...but as soon as I unplug the headphones the speaker in the phone just clicks again.
Now that I play with it a little more the audio seems to work fine until I turn the volume up past 15 then it starts getting choppy?? Very strange!!

I think your problem is more related to the audio-jack / speakers of yours 920..but you can always try with hard reset before proced with hardware replacement
Thats what I was afraid of Its way past warranty so I guess unless anyone else has any ideas I will try a hard reset. If that doesn't work...i'll just have to live with it till I can get a new phone.
...and of course now that I try to do a factory reset I get stuck on the spinning cogs forever and its not doing anything....ugh.
Well..in case anyone else ever has this problem I finally got it to do a factory reset and i'm still having the same problem, so its not worth going through the hassle of resetting it. Took me about 6 hours to finally get it to reset!

replacement of headphones jack is very easy task you can watch videos on youtube...i'm not sure about speakers.
Well...apparently my phone was still under warranty. Brought it into a AT&T store...the sales guy made a phone call and they shipped me out a new phone right away
