Hi All,
Firstly, very happy in acquiring the new Z2, probably the best phone I have bought so far, loving every minute and resisting to root the phone.
I have however, noticed that when I plug in the earphones or my bluetooth devices, all the media sounds plays through the earphones/bluetooth devices but not the notifications. They continue to be played through the phone's speakers. I had the same issue with my previous phone Galaxy Note 2, but were able to resolve the issues by using an app called "Soundabout". I've tried installing Soundabout in my Z2, but to no avail. Notifications continued to played through the phone. Have anyone have the same problems, are there any solutions to this minor issue without rooting the phone or have I blatantly overlooked something?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi...
I have had my new Samsung Galaxy S3 for about 2 weeks, upgrading from the Samsung Europa, and I need to know if this is a known problem or there is something wrong with my phone.
I have had nothing but problems with playing music on my phone since I got it--which is one of my most primary uses for my phone. From the beginning it skipped during songs repeatedly (which I know aren't corrupt as they were and still do work perfectly fine on my Europa, which I never had any problems with), at first, I googled it, and tried turning off wifi when I listened to music and very briefly it improved. But quickly it started skipping again, and has only got worse, now, not only does it skip, it actually stops partway through every song and won't play the whole song. It sometimes plays a song and then stops even though it hasn't gotten to the end of a playlist. Now, I noticed that even playing Bejeweled, which has a very simple and repetitive soundtrack, it stutters on the soundtrack as well. I got so frustrated this morning because I couldn't listen to a full song without it stopping and refusing to re-start that I took my SDcard out and used my old Europa instead--which again, was just fine.
Is this a known problem with the S3? Did I get a lemon? I do not understand why a brand new phone should not be able to do something that my year and a half old and much less powerful Europa could do perfectly. I don't really want to try downloading a variety of other music players because I have been burned by "lemon" electronics products before, and that is basically like putting a bandaid on a wound and pretending it isn't there, when something clearly isn't working right. Any suggestions? Is this normal? Do I return it or is there something else I could try (that is not a band-aid solution).
I could be missing something as it is a new phone... I'm not new to Android or Samsung, but that does not mean I know all the ins and outs of the S3 either. I did see something about powersaving mode, and it is not on that.
Thanks very much for any help or advice you could give me, and please, if you have an S3 and you do not have this problem, let me know as well. Much appreciated!
Hi,
I just wanted to post that I'm also having this issue. It just started about 3 weeks or so ago while I was driving. I thought maybe it was because I was hitting bumps on the road or something but it also happened while listening at home. But it doesn't happen all the time which is why I can't pinpoint what the cause may be.
I downloaded the free trial of WinAmp and it worked ok for a little while but then it started doing it there too-not as frequent as the stock player but it did happen.
Anyway I'm hoping someone else might be able to help.

Try unmounting and re-mounting your SD card.
It may be an audio buffer issue, in which case try power amp, you can tweak the audio buffer size, and it has shown sound quality and features....free trial version on the market too.

Yeah I had that problem with a different android phone my HTC Thunderbolt. It tends to happen when I have the phone close to me. I can be wrong but I think it could be from the energy we throw off. I know it is silly but thats my opinion. I think it may be because of the way it is built. I never had that problem with any iPhone but only to android. The iPhone is is made of glass and most Android made out of plastic. If you fix your problem let me know. I like android phone and would like to know if it could be fixed.

Panacea to audio skipping issues
I've had this issue ever since I bought the S3 (E210s).The only solution that I could find is via root. Root your phone, flash Siyah kernal and install CPU Governor app, and then just set the governor to OnDemand. That worked for me! Would probably do it for you too.
Hello dear friends,
I've been running my I9300 for about 1 1/2 years now. Yesterday, after weeks and weeks of not changing anything (PA3.99RC2), the speakers AND microphone stopped working. So now sound when playing music, no sound during calls and no functionallity of the microphone (Google Voice and Calls). The only thing, which can be related to this issue was a testing of an old external speaker, which i connected to the phones audio jack (and which did not work but did crackling sounds).
I am sure its not a software issue, as I allready reflashed PA3.99 and also returned to 4.1.2 and 4.3 stock rom. What I can say is, that the phone is running quietly well and fast, WiFi, internet, all. But: If I run something with a sound, e.g. tapping on the loudness controll or even starting mp3 or youtube it becomes laggy and stuttering, even rebooting sometimes.
My last workaround was to connect a bluetooth headset to have an "external soundcard" but i still get no sound at all and it becomes to lag.
In my opinion, the soundchip of the device was grilled by using the damaged external speakers and so it responds weirdly to signals -> generating lags on use. Do you have other ideas what could be wrong?
Now for a solution: I think, buying a new (old) mainboard on ebay and changing that part might be the best possibility. Or do you think, the damaged module is in the upper part with the audiojack and the antenna?
Thanks a lot in advance,

I would suggest to consult a mechanic, rather than trying by yourself.

Ah, almoust forgot this:
The mechanic told me that changing one of the audio chips would cost 89€. Changing both chips would cost 130€.
I got a new (used) mainboard for 50€, changed it and everything is working well (including all those reidculous data not wiped on the new chip ;P)
Greetings!
CallSoundRepair.apk - Work as well

Will you stop posting this around. I have yet to see one where you have read and understood the OP Then posting something that is actually useful for the OP and the problem.
Hi everyone,
Probably a longshot but here goes.
I have a Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth ear-piece. It pairs well and the sound is awesome. Some while ago I started having some problems though that the piece disconnects/drops when I receive or dial out. It's fixed by pushing the 'headset' button again to connect but it's quite irritating that I have to do this everytime. I have tried a lot of roms and kernels without avail. Most of them just made the bluetoothproblem worse or made the bluetooth fail totally. I am now running ArchiDroid V1.7.18 with boeflla kernel and it's the same problem as I had with original Stock.
Anyone else had this problem? Haven't had the opportunity to try with any other bluetooth device in case it's the plantronics that's the problem. Is there an app that can keep the connection alive even when I get calls?
I am suspecting that this might be a hardware problem but hope is the last thing that leaves us
Seems to be a lot of bluetooth-problems for the S3 if you look at the search-results but my particular problem don't seem to be mentioned what I've seen.
Thanks in advance.
Hi everybody,
I just got into the world of roms and customs OS, so it made me decide to flash my old S3 I9300 so that i can use it as new as it was.
The real problem is :
even with the non rooted stock firmware, i just find something weird.
first time i restarted my phone after 2 years, i tried to plug in my headphone the notification icon, stayed for just some seconds then it just disappeared and when i tried to plug it in again no more notification icon on the status bar,
after that the issues i have are :
- when i call somebody that person will not hear my voice but have a long beep sound
- but when i try with facebook, skype or line it is working well
- music have no issues
- no notification icon when the headset are plugged in
P.S : i use iphone 5 headsets
even runing cyanogen 12.1 v 7.1 i have the same issues,
Compatability problems is the problem. Buy a headphone designed for all devices, not just Apple. Apple always makes special tweaks to everything they have (for better performance with devices from Apple too), so there may be problems when interacting with devices which is not from their kin.
ok, i will try this right away, thanks for the tip bro

I tried with other samsung earphones, still have the same problems,
changed the headjack part today and still have the same problem
i worked once when i turn off wifi, is it possible that there is conflict between those 2?
Well its probably something with hardware, it might be your audio chip or something. Anyway I'm not really good at hardware so I suggest you ask someone else
i will try to find a solution to that issue, i think the best for now is using a bluetooth headset :/
Hello, I just want to know if I'm the only one experiencing this issue.
So, my audio issue started 2 system updates ago.
All of a sudden, after changing my audio thing... The one on Settings>Sounds>Huawei Histen Sound Effects and set it to the earbuds that came with the phone, Spotify did awesome. I am so accustomed to using earbuds so I don't distract other people with my choice of music. But as I got home from work and decided to play thru loudspeaker, it doesn't work anymore. Sometimes it would take 5 solid minutes to have it work and some other time it didn't play at all, no matter how much I wait. I have no problems during phone calls though which is weird. Has anyone tried troubleshooting this particular issue with the phone? If so, please help. Thank you so much.
