[Q] Galaxy S3 Broken sound - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok now I need an expert. I bought this device a week ago or so. First thing did was an update to JB and then root. After that I removed some system apps (just bloatware nothing important), and disabled some apps to run at startup with es taskmanager (did the same things for a year with my s2 every time I flashed a new rom). The next day I started to notice lagging music when the screen was off. With lagging I mean clittering or so...it plays normalny for few seconds then clitters and plays normaly again but this is repeating the whole song. Weird thing is that it only does it when the display is off...when I turn on the display it starts playing normaly every sound no matter how long does it play (like it should be). I'm really upset for this because I paid big money for that phone and I can't listen to music on it. I also tried different players, no success. No matter if I use the phone speaker, external speaker or earphones, when the display goes off it starts bugging so it's not with the app and I don't think it's with the device as it can play properly with screen on. Did a factory reset, wiped cache, dalvik cache, reflash, I also tried different JB samsung based roms (I need the apps from sammy also I like them more than AOKP or moded roms). Then I found out about JB 4.1.2 leak on sammobile, did a wipe and flashed it, everything was good so I thought the problem is gone but after 3 days it came back! So annoying please help me fix this There is a link where some users posted too about this problem so I'm not alone and it's not a faulty device. samsunggalaxys3forum.com/forum/samsung-galaxy-s3-audio/1035-s3-audio-problem.html (copy it to browser, it didn't allow me to post the full link) ...thanks for any advices.

[Q] KIES recovery and settings lag

I have unrooted S3, 4.0.4.ICS
I noticed that when press for example data usage in settings menu it takes a little more time to open (same goes for other selections in settings menu)...sort of a lag if i can call it like that and it's really noticable...well that was pretty annoying and i dunno if that was when i bought it but i noticed it just now.
i tried to uninstall some apps and other things that might coused it but the thing didn't change...ok...than i decided to do a factory reset but before that i made a recovery backup in KIES (man, that program sucks )
first...what i found was that after factory reset the thing didn't change...so that is my first question...did anybody noticed that or is it just my problem in settings menu? is it normal or should i be doing some extra work to change it?...
second...i had no other than to recover my backup in KIES....wow....that took almost 2 hours!!! i mean wtf!!!is it normal? and i have to say that the most time was on uploading apps (around 35 of them but around 250mb total)....what's the best thing...only a few apps were on mobile when process finally finished?! so where are the others? they were uploaded, i saw it.
dunno know what to say...really disappointed about the whole process and in the end i didn't solve my first problem...
any ideas on this? anyone had the similar situation and is it normal for KIES to take so much time???
thanks in advance
Install JB with odin (It will wipe garbage and leftovers)
But I recommend flash root and superwipe. Than flash InsertCoin (Nice rom, mostly no lags, good game perfomance, overnight drain ~1%)

[Q] JB hiccups when playing music

10 days ago I upgraded my SGS3 to JB via Kies. Since day one I was having problems with poweramp player. In every song I could hear one or more short pauses. It was really annoying! I tried different "audio buffer size" settings but it didn't solve my problem, so I thought there was something wrong with poweramp. I switched to playerpro, but it did not help. I tried winamp and even stock player but still I had random hiccups. I was so desperate to fix it and decided to do factory reset. It did not help either!
I thought there was something wrong with my branded rom, so I flashed BTU JB version. Still hiccups. I moved all my music files to internal sdcard, disabled music FX, bluetooth share and bluetooth test processes but still no success. Yesterday I gave up and switched back to ICS. Problem solved!
Do you guys have any clue what could cause this? I know I am not the only one who have/had this problem, but have not seen any solution.
Hope you can understand my poor English.
I had this with dlj1, solved with dlj4
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
The one I tried was I9300XXDLJ4. As mentioned earlier it did not solve my problem.
Never seen this problem on multiple roms ..
Might pay to wipe phone and install clean .

I did wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flash 4.11 BTU. What else can I do?
I hate having uncommon problems .
this is cause by the memory leak bug. I used supercharger and everything was gone. frequent lock-ups, music hiccups,etc
Thanks bordikun! Instead of playing with scripts I will try latest Omega rom. I see that V6 SuperCharger is included.
bordikun, may I know what settings do you use for Supercharger? I installed Omega 32.1, my phone is 100% Supercharged but I still experience hiccups. I don't have any other problems with the phone, it is like a rocket now . Apart this little, but very annoying audio problem.

[Q] Camera, playing music, etc

Hello.
I've had my Motorola [Electrify] for about a year now, and a few months after getting it, started having problems with the camera, playing music, and not receiving notification sounds. For the camera, I it would look as though it was starting, and then go back to the home screen with a flash saying "Camera cannot initialize." (or something to that effect.) When I would try to play music, it would stop and say "Sorry, the play does not support this type of audio format." It was MP3. And I would sometimes not receive notification sounds. I have been researching and battling this issue for months when suddenly yesterday, I read that for people whose camera wouldnt work, they went into the main settings and clear data for the camera, and the gallery. It worked. Camera worked and so did playing mp3s. Well, today it started not working again. This time I only cleared data for the gallery, and again everything worked like it should. I did root the phone several months ago, using Photon Torpedo. First, I wonder if using that method, if I may have messed something up. Anyone hear of this sort of thing? But then again, I am sure I had problems with this before I rooted. Second, I wonder if anyone knows a specific correlation between malfunctions and the gallery app. Third, would freezing the gallery app with Titanium Backup cripple functionality of the phone/media, and would it work to keep these malfunctions from happening?
Sorry for being long winded, but hoping I'm on to something here.
Thank you.
I posted that a few days ago, but in a different forum, (wrong phone forum) but now today I find out that clearing data in gallery was only a temporary fix, as today it did not work. This is the second or third time I thought I found a connection, but was wrong. Does anyone else have this problem and come up with an actual fix? For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the root cause of this problem is. Thank you.
I haven't heard of it. Have you tried a factory reset?

Wifes photon doing exactly same thing. what apps you have installed. maybe we can narrow it down. I did a factory reset, flashed a different rom, then installed all her apps back on. worked correctly for 3 days then no notification sounds, camera wont open and can t veiw videos on facebook or youtube. reboot the phone and all is well for a few days then the problem comes back.

[Q] Songs skipping locally and streaming

Ever since I got my Amaze, I've been having strange audio playback problems. I'll outline them below.
1) Every few tracks, Pandora will skip a song and advance to the next one with no user input. Even happens on ads.
2) Google Play Music will report "Music playback error" every 4-5 tracks and stop playing. Happens whether streaming or played locally.
3) Every 2-3 music videos, audio in MX Player will cut out for a second or so. When seeking to a particular time in a video, audio will get out of sync or become horribly garbled.
No apparent problems with phone calls, but I don't call many people. I've tried the stock ROM, SpeedROM 7.8/8.0 and the 1/4 build of CM10. The problem remains. Anyone have any ideas? At this point I'm seriously considering bringing my HD2 out of retirement, even though it's held together with duct tape and spit. It doesn't skip, and sounds even better than the Amaze.
ive had issues with the recent MX player "updates".. but overall have you tried fixing permissions and clearing cache to see if it might fix your problem.. or uninstalling the apps or clearning the data.. because it sounds like something somewhere is corrupted.. (maybe...) i'm not too sure as to i've never encountered these problems before.. but it never hurts to try.. (and when you flash rom's do you do a *(full)* wipe before you flash them)? and also do you restore these apps with data using any backup apps like titanium etc? because that might be another cause for the issue.. as to some data from some rom's don't transfer well to new ones.. which is why they give the warning that restoring data might be harmful and cause apps to malfunction

Each time I've installed a new ROM, I've wiped dalvik, cache, data and system. Not sure what else is safe to wipe - I don't think wiping boot is such a great idea. I never restore data to a clean install, mostly because all my data is in the cloud or on my SD card. At this point I'm theorizing that the hardware audio decoder in my phone is squirrelly, though I'm not 100% positive about that.
try flashing this then flashing your rom and see if it helps.. you can fix permissions after you successfully back up your rom, just remember to make sure to do a backup always before flashing a rom

No joy. Ran the super wipe script, then it took me about 4 attempts to load SpeedROM 8.0. Finally got it reloaded, and the skipping is still there. Tried fixing permissions, too. Any other suggestions? I wonder if there's any way to cook a software decoder into the ROM...
EDIT: The skipping is still present in Pandora, but MX Player does seem to be doing better. It could've just been the CM10 ROM. Also getting lots of DSP Manager crashes in SuperROM.
ive never really used dsp.. and i just noticed too that sometimes my pandora randomly skips songs.. or maybe the volume rockers are controls when the screen is off.. not sure

Galaxy S6 EDGE freeze

Hello to all, such to title, my problem is with my new Galaxy S6 EDGE 32 GB. So, i seen, after configuration of the smartphone and backup of all my google's apps and data, that some times the smartphone freeze, i make an example, i play call of duty heroes and, after 10 - 5 minutes the phone freeze and reboot, i have already done an hard reset from recovery, flashed the rom (5.1.1) and done a new reset, but also after all this, there is the same problem anyway, but the phone is UNBELIEVEBLE with other use, no lag, nothing, smoothly! So i tryied other games: real racing 3= freeze one time
Taichi panda= freeze one time or two
Call of duty heroes= freeze ever BUT, only with shadows! If i play without these, so far, i seen that the game not freeze...
I also tryied antutu benchmark that had freezed only one times but not more.
So my question is: this problem is caused from hardware or, there is some possibility that is only a firmware problem? Because, i think that the phone had hardware problems, the freeze become anyway with other app, browser and youtube, true? While all this not happens fortunately.
Anyways excuse me for my bad english!
