[Q] Speaker / lock screen issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm having a very interesting problem with my android tablet. The sound is not working while the screen is on. Just to clarify - If i start a song playing, it won't produce sound until i hit the lock screen button, once the screen goes black, the sound comes through the speakers perfectly. The second I hit the button again to unlock the screen, the screen lights up and the sound stops. The same thing is occurring with apps - after a little candy crush session, i lock the screen and the music starts. This is also the case with notifications - new email etc - makes a noise when the screen is locked, but not when I'm actually using the tablet. It's really quite remarkable and VERY annoying!
If there's any guidance you could provide - it would be appreciated
I've tried taking it back to factory settings and clearing the cacheā€¦.
Just for your info:
Model - A70X
SOC Chip - Super Doulcore A20
Android Version - 4.2.2
Firmware version - 1.3
As I'm more of a Windows / Mac girl, please go easy on me!
Cheers
Bec

coreplayer plays audio in spurts only when locked

Play pauses intermittently playing in short bursts as soon as screen is locked. most annoying.
Am I the only one to experiece this?
Anyone got any ideas?
I too had this problem. Playback would keep playing in spurts with major brief pauses as I walked along. The solution for me was to go into the start menu, then settings and tap on lock. Under the display tab i changed the unlock display from Windows Default (the slidey bar type) to Windows Classic.
Now i don't have any pauses from coreplayer when the phone is locked.
I also disabled the auto screen orientation change as it seemed to be that the pauses would happen when the phone tried to change orientation but the problem didn't go away until I changed the lock to classic. Before the phone was unusable as a mobile music player (unless I left the screen unlocked) - now it is only unusable as a phone due to the call quality problems.
Sorted.. thanks alot. My call quality aint great but I find it useable. another strange one is when I have the toshiba home screen on I often get the 'not enough memory' prompt, sometimes with just a couple of programs running. Ihate the guady stripey thing anyway but there does seem to be a ram issue.

I have the same issue, but in my case I left the win default lock screen with slider. Instead, I tried to play mp3 files with windows media player (the default one) - it is working properly so far (1 day of testing while walking)
what I would like to be able to solve though is switching off the screen completely so it does not light up in the pocket waiting for me to slide for unlock...
If I press the power button, the playback stops...any suggestions please?
One way is to use psShutXP
Then try to make the divice go to Display off not power of.
Another way is to use AE Button Plus
Then assign a key function for Display off. for example you can assign double volume down for Display off.
i can do lock , standby , anything with a bt headset ...
btw coreplayer has its own option to "turn off display" look for it in the options menu , should work for you guys

[Q] Keep screen on with power?

Loving the Lumia alot, but 1 or 2 little niggles - chief of which is that the screen won't stay on when plugged in which is very annoying.
It can be done as some of the nightclock apps keep the screen on, but I don't want a clock screen, just the start screen. There doesn't seem to be an app for this and I don't want to jailbreak the phone - anyone found a solution?
There's no separate app for this, and there's no setting, unfortunately.
Generally apps that need the screen on (like satnav) will not let the phone sleep, but that's not a system-wide setting.
It is annoying when I listen to music in my car.

Netflix Black screen with Audio when i touch the screen...

Hello everyone, I just got my mediapad M5 last night, I was eager to watch the new episode of Better Call Saul, it streams in HD and all, but when I am watching anything, and If lets asy I touch the display to rewind for 10 seconds, or move the bar, IT GOES BLACK, if I let go my finger it plays normal.
I was reading that this may be cause by another app drawing over the display and the netflix app freaking about thinking someone wants to record it and take pictures of it naked.
But I disabled all the apps drawing over other apps, restarted, to no luck,
Anyone else gets this?
No one? really of all the 38 people no one can check?
I don't have Netflix installed and I'm not even 100% sure of your issue (i.e. when you touch the screen to rewind, it rewinds but the screen goes blank underneath the overlay? or it doesn't rewind and the entire display goes black)
It could be an app issue. If you have 'disable HW overlays' checked in Dev Options, that could cause such an issue. EMUI's battery optimization is pesky and could be an issue. You should have the app set to 'manage manually; in launch, you should have 'disable battery optimization' checked, if rooted you should use Titanium or Service Disabler to disable Power Genius (which is responsible for EMUI's aggressive battery optimization). Getting rid of Power genius solves various pesky issues with no negative effect on battery life.
OMG finally someone, thanks for your reply,
Its not a faulty device since I already tested my fathers M5 and it also has the same issue.
The issue is as you say, whenever I touch the device and it brings the netflix overlay it turns the background black, and when the overlay fades away it returns the video feed, but it doesnt pause, since the movie keeps playing and the audio keeps playing also.
The issue is that whenever I touch the display to bring the overlay controls

We are having a similar problem, but with the mouse cursor. This is with the MediaPad M5 with attached hardware keyboard.
As soon as I move they mouse cursor, the image goes black. The video keeps playing, you hear sound, but no image. Wait 15 seconds for the mouse cursor to fade away, and the display comes back.
Also, the last word from every subtitle line is missing, as if there is a text scaling issue where the text gets wrapped to a next line which isn't displayed.

Blu Vivo XI + question *Solved*

What's up guys. I drive with my phones mounted on a phone mount. Whenever I hit a little bump, my screen wakes up. I find it annoying. I couldn't really find anything in the settings to cancel the screen wake up function. Is there an app suggestion that could help me. Thanks in advance.
*Solution found*
I found an app called Smart Screen On Off made by Luu Tinh. My screen no longer wakes up when driving. The different features of the app if you guys are interested :
Double tap on Home Screen to turn off screen.
- The sensor will automatically detect, and auto power on / off screen to help you.
- You can disable the feature when the screen rotates horizontally.
- You can set separate delays when the screen on / off to avoid accidentally enabled.
- Support power to quickly head off the screen.
- Support for using the same cover.
- Auto screen off when put your phone into pocket.
- Improve best performance. Only use a maximum of 5 MB RAM.
Edit again dammit. Disregard the first solution.
The raise to wake setting is under the smart gestures portion of the phones settings
It's a built in feature to the phone. Lift to wake
Can just turn it off in settings

Multiple issues

Hi guys, I just got the N7.1 last week, with Android 10 already on it (December update). Both are new for me, so I have no idea if these are Nokia or Android issues, but hopefully you can help me:
1) Ring volume is very loud! Even the lowest setting is still way louder than I've ever had before. Is this normal?
2) On Mario Kart Tour the sound is awful. Even on low volumes the game produces a loud crackling sound. Might be very game specific, but it's the only one I play atm
3) On the lock screen the upperleft corner of the statusbar shows the carrier. When you go to home screen this changes to clock. Quite often the carrier 'sticks' and also shows on home screen. I then have to go back and forth a bit to get the clock back.
4) Not always, but like 80% of the time, when I unlock the phone directly with my fingerprint, the home screen will show. This sounds quite normal, but I mean that it minimizes any app I was working with / had open while the lock went on. I've never had this behaviour before: it used to just go back to the app I was using.
5) Sometimes I get some serious lag while typing, until now I only notice this in message boxes on forums, like the one I'm typing in right now. During typing the letters stop appearing and everything seems to freeze. Then when I hide/lower the keyboard on my phone, the typed letters appear instantly and I can continue.
Cheers!
There are many bugs in the Android 10 update Nokia released. There are multiple topics about them in the Nokia 7.1 subforums. I know audio issues with games and other apps is one of them. As far as I can tell, Nokia has not acknowledged these bugs (even on their own forums) and there is no ETA on fixes.
I now see some reports of crackling sound, but do you guys have the other issues as well? There are a lot of annoying bugs!!
Yes!
All the other issues you face are common. The loud ring volume you acknowledged is common too and i too, face it and get disturbed by it too
The crackling sound you get in games is common too.
