Bluetooth headphone issue - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi all.
Hopefully there's some info that someone can pass along, as I've not found it in my searches through the forums (or general search online). Maybe I missed it somewhere.
I have two sets of bluetooth headphones. Both have the ability to control the tracks while playing music (next, FF, back, etc...). They both worked great on my Streak, and DID work the same with my Note when I first got it...but...I might have accidentally deleted some important file.
I'd really like this functionality back.
I tried using Odin to reinstall the OS (GB) over itself to see if that would put those (supposed) missing files back, but it doesn't seem to have worked.
I'm running stock 2.3.6 GB
Rooted
HoloNote kernel
CWM based recovery
Thanks in advance.

Hey did u try using both headsets to test it out?
Also if that didn't work try flashing a Rom through custom recovery. Also make sure u do a full wipe too.

Agreed. The full wipe has cleared up BT issues.

Does bluetooth to something other than a headset work?

I've had certain roms that just don't work right, my bt has caller ID as well, some roms it works, some don't. Sometimes unpairing and repairing fixes it.

Sorry it took so long to reply back to your replies...tight weekend. Thank you guys.
It worked with both headsets when I first got the phone, and I have tried both again in testing this time around. Still stock (besides root, custom kernel, and CWR...no custom ROM).
Bluetooth does in fact work with no problems with phone to phone file transferring, Jawbone earpiece, and connecting to the car's system.
I have also tried unpairing and repairing. That didn't work.
The one thing I haven't tried is a full wipe. I thought installing without wiping might resolve it.
I guess I might have to start from scratch, huh?
Sent from my Mental 'Note'.

So you guys were right. Full wipe did the trick. Thank you.
The only thing is, I deleted stock apps (and bloat) that I didn't need or want (as I believe most people do), and now it doesn't work again. There must be some app within those I deleted that is necessary for this to work correctly.
I'll have to attempt one more time and delete one by one and test after each to see which it is.

So it turns out that "Music Player" needs to stay installed.
There are two default music apps. The one with the headphone icon is okay to uninstall, but this one (disk icon with a music note) needs to stay.
I installed GB over itself through ODIN like I tried originally. Uninstalled all things unwanted and left "music player" and am now able to control track selection and play/pause.
Its been interesting figuring this out. Thanks for all the help.

[Q] deodexed kb5 video not in sync

Hi there,
my first post...hmhmhmhm...
Ok, I flashed my Vibrant with the new deodexed KB5 version, everything went well.
I also installed the voodoo lag fix...but since that my videos get out of sync when I try to jump to a certain time in the vid. Audio and Video are not synced anymore.
Already disabled Voodoo and played another Backup back with the deodexed version only...same problem.
Has anyone an idea or the same problem?
I tested this by opening 3 diffrrent movies and skipping around to different points in them. Never watched any one thru, but never had any of them become out of sync. Could you post a link of the ROM?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Sure it is the one here from the forum, I am just not able to post directly in that thread cause I don't have 10 comments yet...it is the developer forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
I think everything worked fine till I updated to the voodoo-kernel, but the problem is still the same, even though I switched back without the voodoo-kernel.
Thx for taking a look into it.
P.S.: The desync only happens when I jump to different positions in the video, if I keep it playing from the very beginning, the vid stays in sync...
These vids were always in sync before changing to that rom or kernel.
Yup thats the one I just flashed. Im not gettin that problem tho. Try another video player see if its doin the same with them.

Ok thx, will try it out, although didn't have had this problem before flashing this rom.
Ok, installed Mobo player...same issue.
I will flash my phone tomorrow again, with the deodexed rom, maybe the problem is gone then and wiping all the chache...
Wiping the cache is always a good idea. You should be clearing 4 different settings in CwMRecovery on every ROM install just to be safe. Also if ur already into the ROM a lil and dont wanna have to re-flash the whole ROM and go thru another setup try pushing the video.apk and re-installing it on its own first. If that doesnt help a total re-flash of the entire ROM should fix ur problem. Good luck!
Thx,
thats actually a good idea. I unzipped the rom and got the single video.apk.
I flashed my phone already, the same problems are there. Which is kinda strange and I have to test the same videofiles on the phone of my wife.
Not that suddenly all the files I tested were kinda corrupt, that would be a really big coincidence...
All files before worked fine...
Ok, tested a lot of different video files, everything seems to be ok now.
Reinstalling the voodoo kernel again, thx for your help.
Thats awesome! Glad you got it werkin
Yes thx,
actually now everything is working super smooth...it is amazing.

[Q]Music suddenly stops playing

A lot of times when I'm listening to music and the screen is off, the music stops playing. Pressing the headset button does not resume the music, I have to turn on the screen and press the play button.
I had this problem on KE7 as well as I have it on KF2, my phone is rooted, currently I use PowerAMP, but if I can remember correctly, I've encountered the issue using Doubletwist as well. I even tried hard resetting, but the issue persists (I didn't really start from scratch but rather restored my user apps from a Titanium Backup).
Before I go through the tiresome task of uninstalling all the apps and installing them back one by one, I decided to ask for your help. Maybe somebody already managed to resolve a similar issue...
Settings> Motion> disable it... It may be because of the motion sensors... If you tilt the phone in a certain angle, the music stops playing...Just try, if it didn't work, then there is a problem...
This seemed to be happening to me when using PlayerPro. However, I had the trial and paid for versions installed, and it seemed to be the trial version doing this. Switching to the paid for version stopped the issue.
Could PowerAmp be behaving the same?

I have bought the full version, so it can't be this. The motion theory is interesting, but the phone was sitting on my desk when it happened today. Will try disabling it anyway.
Setting motion control to off did not help either. ;(

Hey man, im experiencing the same problem.
Glad to hear im not the only one. Ill be following this thread for answers. Im using PowerAmp as well.
Well, nice to hear I'm not alone.
I will try using doubletwist for a day or two, to see if it's a PowerAmp thing. But if memory serves me well, I already expirienced the same issue before buying PowerAMP.

Just came across this thread:
http://powerampapp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1274
Interestingly somebody mentions Google Listen as the culprit. I do use it a lot. Will try removing it and report back. BTW: Pocket Casts is free today on Amazon Appstore!
Freezing Google Listen defenitely helps.
I'm having the same problem, both with the stock player, and BBC iPlayer.
I'm also using Google Listen... so it'll be a shame if it's that which causes the problem.
I've just checked my Listen settings: it's set to check for new updates once a day, but I've had the players stop more than once in one day. I also had 'send anon feedback' switched on. I've turned that off.
I'd really like to hear if it's the confirmed culprit (and how to remove or freeze it) - cheers
I've also heard the problem could be when the phone is switching between 2G and 3G mode: as I'm in a basement office, I have poor signal quality, so there's a chance that's to blame...?
Well I use Google listen on my nexus one for a year now, and it never shows up in my apps list using battery, nor does it ever appear in system panel lust using no CPU. Its been just fine.
I've found the music is stopping when I get Gmail messages (though not every time)... so it's one of my Gamil widgets, the Status bar (though I have notifications turned off) or the Social Hub.
Once I've backed up all my data I'm going to do a Factory Reset
Update:
I've done a factory reset, that didn't stop it.
I've removed the Gmail widget, that didn't stop it.
I've gotten a brand new replacement phone, that didn't stop it.
I've tried a different music player (UberMusic), that didn't stop it.
Anyone got any more ideas?

Ok so I uninstalled all Music apps using Titanium, then went into Recovery, cleared cache, and Dalvik Cache, then reboot. Soon as booted. Used "adb install GoogleMusic4.0.1.apk" ... and boom, worked like a charm
Make sure to delete any old versions of 'music' you may have first. Then install the new one, clear data from inside 'manage applications', and reboot for good measure.
i have 8 invites to music.google.com i think that this is what you guys are talking about?
All invites sent out, sorry
Works fine on DarkSide. Just wish they added folder browsing.
just got home from working a 12 hour shift; invites are sent out. i have 6 left if anyone else is interested, just hit me up with a PM.
All I did was uninstall the old version, no wiping cache or rebooting or other fancy tricks. Everything is working good for me. I didnt realize that Gmusic was still in beta.. If so I still have all my invites, PM me and I will help you out.
anyone getting weird issues playing via bluetooth? everytime i change volume, the music pauses. change volume again, it plays.
Works
I didn't have all the account settings at first. Downloaded the file again and everything was working fine.
I have 4 more invites, too. If anyone is interested PM me.
For some reason the Google Music app will Force Close every time I try and stream a song. It used to happen for only select play lists but now its happening all the time! I in stalled the Google Music 4.0 app with no problems hoping that it would fix my issue but it hasn't. Has anyone come across this or know of a fix. I'm beginning to believe it is an issue that needs to be resolved in the server and not with my device as I've experienced the problem on two separate ROMS after wiping everything. Any help is much appreciated.
Works fine on homebase. Reverted back to 3.0.1 because this beta version has no equalizer settings.

Works fine on Aura too. Just remove the old one first.
Anyone else's music widget shrink after installing the beta? Mine used to be across the whole screen, but now it's only takes up 2/3s.
I installed this on Harmonia 1.6.1c (froyo) on my Optimus V. Works great!
I just uninstalled my 3.x version of Music Beta first. I did leave the stock Music player on though for kicks. Wanted to see if it would bother it, and doesn't seem to be causing any trouble. It didn't bother the other Music Beta version either.
I haven't noticed and repeating songs yet. That was the bug that drove me nuts. If you started an album it would repeat the first song forever until you manually forwarded to the next track. It appears this bug could be fixed in 4.0.1? Anyone else notice this?
Sorry to seem like a noob, but I installed it and it's working fine. Is it going to stop working after some period of time or will it always work?

Really wish Google Music had an option to search for an album and it's data. I hate manually fixing all these albums! I have like 12 albums that are all the same album but I have to manually edit them.
Also, they need a way to make it say 'these albums are the same, local and cloud'. I copied straight from the PC that uploaded and now all I get are duplicates.
I installed it leaving the old version. No problems, it works, but I don't like it.

Issues with notification sounds going mute...

So I have a Droid X2, now un-rooted and back on stock 2.3.4 and this is an issue I have had since I had the phone and have never found a fix. I have asked this multiple times on the Verizon forum for the DX and never get an answer...
SO every day I seem to have issues with my notifications going mute, sometimes, but not always, my ringer even goes mute. Usually once a day I have to reboot my phone because it is the only way I can fix it. I thought at first it had to do with my blutooth, but since SBFing and going back to stock I have not re-added my blutooth and it still happens. I took it into the store and he suggested that it is an app causing a conflict and I should uninstall 10 or so apps at a time to try and narrow it down... but I just went ahead and did a factory restore to see if it would help... but it happened again today...
Now, the notifications I use are ones I put on the phone. I have tried putting them on the SD and the internal and it seems to happen with both. I have also put them directly on and also tried ringdroid but it still does the same thing. The sound and notification levels will be all the way up, and when you go into the settings and try to pick a notification sound or ringtone, even the stock ones, you wont hear anything (and you would usually hear a preview of the sound)... The only way I can get the sounds to work is to reboot the phone and when it comes back, it will be fine... for a while. Sometimes have to reboot multiple times a day, but almost always at least once a day to get them back up...
Since you all seem smarter than the Verizon folks and have been a huge help to me thus far, I thought I would ask here and see if anyone else has ran into this and has a fix or if there are any known apps that would cause this. I have done searches but found nothing...

sometimes music player stops playing songs randomly too!

Awesome... thank you!
I've had a similar issue but not exactly the same. I normally keep my phone on silent mode but sometimes during the day it will automatically go off silent mode. Seems to happen most often when the battery level is below half. I just learned to live with it. My alarm would deactivate by itself in Froyo, so at least this isn't going to cause me to be late for work like that.
Problem is solved here after last week's upgrade. I'd suggest flashing a new build if possible. I guess for some unknow reason, parts of the OS gets corrupted or maybe its a bug in device drivers for our android phones thats been addressed in later builds.

I'm certainly no dev, just an avid user who likes learning and tweaking to get the most from his phone. I recall having similar problems with FROYO stock or rooted which as I remember went away when GINGERBREAD came out. I've been running DZK's CM7 beta as my daily driver since it was released with virtually no problems and unlike most other ROM's does not need multiple tweaks and scripts to scream with the exception of a wifi and/or dialer glitch that looks like Moonshadow has recently fixed. Sooooo unless HDMI is a deal breaker I'd suggest you flash CM7 and see if that takes care of your problems just remember to abide by the cautions regarding use of TBU to restore apps. And lastly as a rule of thumb I reboot my phone every morning once I get to 100% charge...force of habit I guess.
Good luck

Thanks everyone... I havent been on because it strangely hasn't been happening. Not sure what changed. Did not uninstall any apps, and have not had any updates (as far as I know... well besides app updates) and for some reason it hasnt been happening lately. Again, no idea what changed. Still unrooted on stock 2.3.4 gingerbread and phone seems fine now. Been happening for months and when I finally come here to get help, the problem seemed to have went away. I will keep you all updated if this changes. Hopefully if it is happening to anyone else, it has also been fixed... Thanks again for all your help. Really appreciate you guys helping out this noob
what i did
i have an mb870 too with no service running google voice and groove ip . my issue with notifications
was with my kids hitting all the button selections she could. in the process my message notifications
got defaulted to the wrong messaging app. i was still getting messages but no tones or vibrations.
so i just went to all the messaging apps i have and made sure to select the right one for the default
hope this helps

[Q] A working rom?

I really hate to make this post, but I've had such bad luck in the recent days, that I'm at wits end and need a little help figuring out whats going wrong here. As of now, I am runing LiquidSmooth 2.9... But as with all my recent flashes, there are tons of problems. Currently my issues are: external SD card doesn't show, GPS doesn't lock on (which from what I read I need to install a working GPS rom, get a lock, then reflash.. ok cool) and lastly facebook and instagram are aggravatingly slow. I can have full service, even be on Wifi... text from posts will load fast... anything else... You're better off playing the lottery than hoping a quick picture will pull up.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong here, I throw the zip file on my phone, go into TWRP, wipe cache and dalvik, install, wipe again, factory reset, reboot, and then start using my phone...
With every rom I've tried there are issues from no gps, no camera, no keyboard, bluetooth cuts out... etc...
Is there a rom that works? Or are there steps I'm missing or a fix to my said issues? Any help would be great

Try flashing devil kernel from the Original Development section for your SD card woes. AOSP doesn't support exFAT by default (I'm guessing that's what your card is flashed as and is why you can't see it). This kernel adds support for exFAT to any AOSP ROM.
Try enabling Force GPU Rendering in the Development Options and see if that doesn't fix your slowness with Facebook and Instagram. I personally don't use Instagram but have had no issues with Facebook on CM10.2.
Finally, you already have the fix for your GPS issues, just need to bite the bullet and get it done. The good news is that as long as you stay on AOSP ROM's you shouldn't have to do it again.
Let me know if that does/doesn't work and we can try some different options, good luck!
Thank you the GPU thing seems to have worked, doesn't seem to lag as much anymore. However, the devil kernel didn't seem to do much other than replace TWRP
I'll take that back =S pics aren't loading again.

Devil kernel not recovery.
It is a kernel that will work on AOSP and TouchWiz ROMs, and in combination with the recovery allow you to dual boot one of each.
You do not want this, you want just the kernel.
ok so I've tired the devil kernel, no luck. I tried a couple different roms, no luck. Finally flashed with CleanRom3.5 and my SD card is back. But now the issue I'm experiencing is when I try and play music through spotify it randomly shuts down the audio channel. The music still plays according to the app, but I can't change songs. I can pause and hit play, but no audio. I have to force close the app, and I can then again listen to a song, maybe two before it happens again. Sometimes it happens within 2 minutes, either way I have not made through 2 consecutive songs. Any ideas on that?
try beans Jellybeans build 21.. no issues works great.
I have to be honest, I have had nothing but compatibility issues with the use of TWRP. I switched to CWM and I stopped having little glitches and hang ups in the Roms. I would give it a shot, not saying it is even the cure all but it worked for me as crazy as it sounds.
