[Q] Android phone stuck in headset/headphone mode for music apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My galaxy android phone with OS cm11 is stuck in headset/headphone mode(but only for music applications). Calls incoming/ringtones are played from the speaker. The problem is the phone doesn't play music/video files from the phone speaker, it plays from the headset instead. This particular problem arised after trying to test the Spirit UI FM.After providing the superuser permission, the application crashed( in cm11 ) and after that only headset mode .
I have been using SoundAbout for now to fix it. But I want to the OS fixed/patched in itself(not depending the soundabout app). I have tried rebooting/firmware reset/downgrading to cm7. But none of them are working. Thanks in advance.

U must try an app on play named HTC HEADPHONE FIX, made by HTC, but works on other devices too
I fixed my Samsung Galaxy Core 2 with that same thing
U must give it a try and then tell me it worked or not

aokp Bluetooth audio issues and samsung apps

I'm having no audio when I connect my phone to the car through Bluetooth. I do have call audio both ways but I can't play music or sounds. Phone doesn't say anything, acts like it is playing music but no sound. I'm using task650's aokp 4-4-2012.
Also, I can't install Samsung apps, there are some apps there I use. Any way to get it working?
Thanks for reading.
I have the same issue. I found the work arround by open music app then make a call after you hear ring disconnect phone and try running music again. Some how it works for me..
bluetooth is working fine here.
i use pandora and make calls over my head unit in my car. no issues at all
samsung apps? you arent going to be using samsung apps in aokp.....
I have been using 4-14-2012, Build 31, and now 4-18-2012, and each one the Bluetooth audio works. I would recommend updating to a newer version and try again.
Also, most of the Samsung apps hook into touchwiz or back end services that are not in AOKP.

[Q] 30 Volume Steps Bug

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post in the Ace Sectio, Deal with it
I just rooted my phone, installed MIRACLE v4, installed Beats Audio...
and i have a problem...
If i watch a Commentary video (dont mind that with beats audio or without it) The Voice Commentary is Really Quiet, but the music is VERY LOUD! and i can't do anything with this, i think its the fault of the 30 Volume Steps, not of the video, cause on my PC and with other ROM its fine, and commentary isn't quiet... Oh and i installed DSP Manager too, but everything is the same
I'll link a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKJMljrIGuc&list=UUH-_hzb2ILSCo9ftVSnrCIQ&index=2&feature=plcp
Please Help me
Any Suggestions?
Don't change any setting on DSP..using Youtube app or some other streaming app?
And if you've a spare headphone, then try using that to check whether it's the headphone problem.
Using original YoutubeApp Downloaded from Play Store, Xperia x8 Headphones, so its not the problem of the headphones (Its working Quite Perfect on Other ROMS and even on other phones ) Did not set anything in Dsp manager, but i tried to set something, but it wasn't better...

At least check with another headphone will not hurt
if the problem persists undo the beats lib. or re-flash the ROM (no need to wipe if you're re-flashing on the same ROM,you won't get boot-loops) Can I know which beats did you flash? Several out here these days..
I tried 4 Types of B.Audio
And i just realized... The headphones aren't good to this phone, i have to buy a new one
Thanks for the help
And i just installed B.Audio, cause on maximum volume, it wont do weird sounds
maybe the beats audio mod is not compatible with DSP manager, like the case of SRS Trumedia mod?

[Q] My SGS3 thinks that headphones plugged in when somebody calls me. WTF?

I have AutomateIt Pro app installed and i have created a profile to launch music player app when i plug headphones in.
When somebody is calling me, SGS3 shows in taskbar that heaphones plugged and it stars music player and messes everything...
I thought maybe it's AutomateIt Pro that's buggy, then i installed Tasker trial version, created the same kind of automation profile.
But i see the same behaviour again. It is really annoying. Why would SGS3 think that when there is an incoming call it means headset is plugged?
I'm running Omega 5.1 ROM with Siyah 1.1
The same was with Omega 4.2 and stock kernel
Any idea how to avoid that?
I not use AutomateIt Pro, but I had a similar problem, everytime I unplugged the earphone, the phones acted as it was still plugged in!! Afther talking with Samsung support, the solution was to hard-reset the phone. Afther I haven´t got the problem
I´m on stock rom and use the original earphones
I think it is different problem than yours

Bluetooth problem with headphones

Hi everybody,
I have problems with Bluetooth since the installation of the last CM11 (android 4.4.2) on my galaxy SIII, I have search everywhere but never find any working solution.
I explain, all the time i listen to music with my headphone Sennheiser MM550-X. it's working fine when there is no object between my Galaxy SIII and my headphone. BUT as soon as i put it in my pocket the music begin to lag, the same when i put the phone under my hand for example.
It was working perfect before with the original rom from Samsung.
i have already tried to
- Change the music app (now i use Poweramp pro)
- Change the size of the music buffer and the priority of the music in Poweramp
- Change the CPU strategy to Performance (works fine with the small lag problem when the phone is in sleep mode, but no effect with the bluetooth)
- Change the headphone with another from my wife , exactly the same problem
Does anybody have any solution ? is it possible to modify the settings of the cyanogenmod bluetooth ? change the blutooth apk ? or to amplify the bluetooth signal ?
Thx

OK Google is not allowing to listen to Music on Redmi Note 3

Hi All RN3 users,
I am writing this from India, using a Redmi Note3 Snapdragon, 32gb, running MIUI Global 8.0.6.0
I have been using this RN3 since 2 months now. I am music fan and was happily listening to songs on Rocket Player and few other Music players with Philips Earphone which I had got with Philips 1GB Mp3 player many years ago. It was a TRS jack and was working fine.
Suddenly few days ago the earphone went dead. After this I have been trying few others like JBL Headphone, LG earphone(TRRS) etc.
Everytime I plug in the ear/headphone and switch on the music player, the song plays for about 4 seconds and then OK Google voice assistant opens up on its own and stops the music. Push it to background and manually resume the music, it appears again. With my old Philips earphone I never had this problem and the top bar icon was always of headphone only. Now it changes to earphone with mic icon before OK google appears.
I browsed the net for solutions, forced stop the google app, disabled voice detection in settings, tried rebooting, tried 2-3 new earphones but no use.
According to some users who are facing this problem, it is a earphone jack and audio port hardware issue, earphone is being mistaken somehow as microphone and so the voice app is appearing.
But it was not there with my old model Philips earphone
Even now this problem is not there when I am playing FM Radio !!
No problem when playing the music with Phone Speaker
But only when playing music from music player apps and with Earphones inserted.
From net browsing I learned that even other brands like LG G3, HTC, Galaxy phones are facing this and with good branded earphones like Sennheiser, SoundMagic, JBL.
Also this problem was not there with MIUI v8050.
Is it a bug or a hardware issue? Is my audio-port damaged?
PLEASE help me solve this. What is the guarantee that buying a new earphone would solve this issue?
Hey Google, It is NOT OK to stop playing music.
I was also facing the same issue, and no its not a hardware issue. I solved this issue by modifying mixer file in /system/etc/ by changing a line from HIFI to LP and then a reboot.
Can you please give detailed info how to edit that file. Full path where to locate that file.
My phone is not rooted, I don't know how to root. I hope the solution you have suggested doesn't need rooting.
Open Google > Settings > Voice > Hands Free > uncheck "For wired Headsets".
OK google Detection > Disable everything...
Try this and see if the problem was gone

Hi madkiran, I have tried doing this and sorry to say it did not help. What you have suggested is the only action we as non-expert users could attempt.
I fail to understand how despite disabling it pops up once music starts playing.
