DAC skips beggining of songs - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Recently bought a V30 and enjoying it so far. One of the main reasons I bought the phone was for the audio capabilities it has.
I just got round to loading my music colection onto the phone. On quite a high number of songs when skipping to the next track when the DAC is enabled it seems to skip the first 0.1-0.25 seconds (estimate) of the next song. It doesn't sound like much, but it is so annoying as you miss the first few notes or half a word. As soon as you disable the DAC or play through speakers the problem goes away. The problem also goes away if you get to end of the previous song, it only seems to occur when you hit skip. Is anybody else having this issue or know a way to correct this?
UK V30 (H930), Apps used were Google play and LG music player. All MP3s are 320kbs, tried on multiple different headphones and earbuds (including supplied). I've also tried turning off and on/updating software to no avail.
Cheers, Joe

Songs auto skipping half way through!!

Hey guys, so i've tried to figure this out on my own, but i'm ready to pull my hair out.
So i've tested this on my SGS3 Note II Optimus G and my Atrix 4G. As i'm listening to music, and not all songs, but quite a few, the song will skip to the next, half way through the song. i can be using the devices speaker, bluetooth headphones ect...and does the same thing.
The weird thing is, when playing those exact files on my PC, the songs don't skip, leading me to believe it's not the music files themselves.
I've also tried out about 5 different music players from the play store, and they make no difference, still skips half way through the song...
Anyone have any solutions or ideas why this is happening?
thanks
Jared

[Q] Audio Volume Issues

Hey Guys,
First off, Merry Christmas to you all.I hope you are with loved ones and having fun.
I'm having an issue with my audio on my mp3's.
It seems like it's specific songs that do this but the volume with go up and down throughout the song.
This happens on bluetooth and on the phone's speaker.
Playing one of these tracks on my PC does not result in the same issue.
So I need some help.
Can you download this song and try it from your phone?
Do you get the same issue?
Any ideas?
I am on PAC with Komodo kernel.
My buddy is on MeanRom 6.5 and he has the same issues with his music too.

reboot the phone and try to play the same song and see if its still there.
I seem to recall someone in another thread mentioning that thier music had either altered audio levels after 30 minutes of listening or it had some weird audio interference like wierd bursts of noise.
You have already trouble shot it, if your PC isnt affected and its the same audio file on both devices then its y our handset that has an issue.

[Q] Popping sound between songs

So I just got my S5 yesterday, it is all stock unrooted. When listening to music in the car, between songs, there is this popping sound. Not super annoying, but still it's not very pleasant to hear. Also happens when a notification sound goes off in the middle of a song, between the end of the notification sound and when the music starts again. Anyone else have this problem?

Try resetting your phone if it stops the problem, otherwise, try flashing stock firmware, this will not trip your knox. If the issue is not resolved, return the handset for a replacement.

Are you using Bluetooth? Could be an interference somewhere or your volume on the phone is turned up too loud.

Is your phone connected to your car's speaker? Or are you just playing the music over your phone?

I have the same problem. It is not too often, but it does happen every once in a while. I notice it more when connected to car speakers (via cable, no bluetooth). I am not sure if it happens with (regular, no bluetooth) headphones.
My phone is also stock, no root or anything. I've noticed the first time I tried it. I am not sure if I need to return it or not...

It might be the cables. Though I have not experienced this with my phone, my earphones used to have the popping sounds and then one day one side just totally went off only to reconnect occasionally when I move it to a right bendy position, with the poppy sounds. So it might be the cables.
Click, pop, or stutter.

Yes, always happens when using bluetooth over car speaker system. Turning on the screen will stop it from happening. From the information I have found here and on the web, the power saving that samsung wrote to help conserve battery let's the CPU go into a low power state when the phone's screen has been off for a period of time. But if you happen to be streaming music, it will start to skip, pop, or stutter. If you turn the screen on for a short period, don't even have to unlock the lock screen, it will stop misbehaving for the same short period of time. However, if you plug your phone in while driving, you can just leave the screen on and you should not experience the problem. Hope this helps, you can google it for more information.
Pop Issue solved.
I've solved the issue. The reason that it makes a pop sound in between songs, is because when power saving mode is on, it is turning off the speaker in between songs. Just turn off "power saving" mode in your settings pull down on your Samsung, and it won't make a pop sound anymore.

I am encountering the same problem on my Verizon Galaxy S5. There is a popping noise (actually it is a double "pop pop" sound) when switching tracks (occurs in Samsung music player as well as Google Play Music). It's also noticeable when muting/unmuting the phone, and when the phone screen seems to go off. I have disabled power saving features as suggested, but the problem remains.
The problem is not noticeable on headphones (but could be due to the lower volume levels of headphones). It IS noticeable when I use the phone with an AUX cable in my car, and extremely bad on the PA loudspeaker system I use for work (I'm a dance teacher, and have generally used my phone as a music player). This is very annoying, and not what I would expect from Samsung's "flagship" phone.
I did a factory reset as suggested by Samsung tech support. Still have the problem.
I took the phone into Verizon's corporate store in SF, and the Verizon staff member recreated the problem with his own S5 too, suggesting this problem is inherent in all S5s.
What baffles me is the lack of a large number of complaints on message boards and the Samsung support forum. Doesn't anyone use their cell phone to play music at birthday parties, weddings, etc? I would have expected more outcry about this.
Any help appreciated!
Guys I am having the same issue with my S5. It is strange there is not enough complaints on it from people!
I have talked to Samsung about it and they don't believe such a huge bug!
Has any body solved this issue?
popping noise driving me mad on s5!
I have the same problem with a new s5 from 3 network. It's highly annoying and doesn't seem to matter which music player is used, power saver on or off and volume low or high on the phone or external speaker via an auxiliary cable. The same cable might I add I used for months for my S3. This just adds to annoying aspects to the s5 and I'm already looking for alternatives to Samsung even though my contract still has 23 months left! A fix for this is needed and will send the handset back for replacement if I have to!
They're was a setting inside one of the system files you could edit to help with the popping sound. I'll try to find the thread and post it up.
OK thanks. I have reluctantly factory reset and the noise is still there sometimes so others have found reset doesn't work. Will look at settings if you can find the thread.
I can't find it but I know it had to do with the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm just not sure what needed to be edited. I'll keep looking tho.
I'm having the same problem . Only when I skip to the next song and it is only out of the left channel.
Popping sound when skipping songs
Have you tried enabling the equaliser in settings under audio effects, as this has resolved the issue for me.
I have the problem as well. Its freaking ridiculous. I thought it was my music player for the longest time. I don't believe I had the issue when I first got the phone, but I really don't remember. I don't have power saving on and it doesn't happen all the time either. But it only happens at song changes or pause/unpause. I get the same double pop as nathandias described. Its bothering me a ton.
i was thinking it would be nice if people recorded the sound (standard audio cable from phone jack to line-in or mic of a computer)
it would be strange for it to be happening across such varied android versions (start of thread is when 4.4 was used, you can have 6 now with cyanogenmod, 5.1.1 from samsung, etc)
Hi,
I have the same problem, it's really annoying! I cannot understand why not much more people are complaining about this. It shouldn't be a problem in a Smartphone today! My Samsung S III didn't have this issue.
I made a video so you can see what we are talking about: Link deleted Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post a link here. You find it on Youtube entitled "Samsung S5 SM-G900F, popping sound between songs".
Did anyone find a solution? Thank you.
Hi. OP was a while ago! The solution was to use a logitech Bluetooth reciever connected to my 5.1 speaker system. Turns out it stops the annoying noise and for me with my s5 had better and louder sound quality. Well worth the purchase!

Weird BT Audio/Google Play Music/UConnect Issue

OK. I have the oddest problem I'm hoping people can help me with, though I don't hold much hope.
Recently my UConnect stopped recognizing on the display when the track changed in Google Play Music from my Galaxy Note 3. The next track does start playing over BT, but the UConnect keeps showing the previous track info and progress bar. I never had issues before.
Phone recently got a software update so it could be on the phone side. It works fine with other music players on my phone though. Maybe a Google Play Music update broke it. However, on my BT connection to my home theater stereo, it properly updates the track info, so it's something between my phone and UConnect.
Here's the odd part that makes it hard to pin it to either the phone or the car specifically:
Track gets updated on my smartwatch via BT just fine.
Track gets updated on my home theater stereo over BT as normal.
Steering wheel buttons advance track forward (full control over music), and new track starts playing, but doesn't update track on screen.
Track gets updated on display if you click backwards to previous track, just not forwards either manually or automatically at end of previous track.
UConnect display gets updated automatically while playing tracks if you use a mixed playlist with different artists. If it's the same album by same artist it does not change track on display.
If I switch to a different audio source and back, it shows the correct song on the display, but it will not switch to next one automatically when playing an album.
Track displayed gets updated properly with other music players, just not Google Play Music.
Used to work before, but recently received Galaxy Note 3 4.4.4 AT&T firmware and also Google Play Music updates.
Tried repairing phone to car, but no luck. It's a UConnect 8.4A with latest firmware.
Did you ever have success in finding a solution for this? I recently bought a new Dodge Dart with the same system in it and it pairs fine with my OnePlus One, but it doesn't sync ANY of the track information. It just says "OnePlus One" where the title of the song would be. I figured maybe our problems would be related, but I could be wrong.
Similar thing with my new Jeep. I have the latest update 11.17.11 I think it is. There is no track info at all on the display. On top of that when I start a song it loops the first 2 seconds or so about 3 times before it plays. There also seems to be a disconnect between the play button.
I stream all my music however, so maybe that's a problem with the files not being on my phone.

Bluetooth playback issues

Hello all,
I'm experimenting some issues with my OPX while listening to music in Bluetooth.
I have the last update and I use Play Mauic.
1) When i am at the middle of the song and I connect for example, the song starts again on the Bluetooth device whereas on my phone it still display the middle of the song. Like 2:13/3:26 for example. It isn't a big issue but maybe it's linked to the others.
2) randomly, when a song is automatically skipped to the next one, because it has ended, again my player shows that the next song is playing whereas I can't hear anything or sometimes it stutters A LOT, like I can hear one second for each 10 seconds. To fix if I just have to click on "previous" so the song start again and it works flawlessly. This issue happens very often.
Is it a known issue? Is there a fix? I've never seen this kind of issue with other devices ao I'm sure it's because of the OPX.
Thank you.
I got the same issue. It is very annoying. You can also make the title play again by moving the progress slider a little bit back or forward. It happens also with other music players.
Someone answered on my G+ post it happens with headphone jack too. I haven't tried it tho.
I got this problem with my Sennheiser MM100 as well as on my Bose Soundlink 2.
I have also a mini sound link 2.
Buy with my cans it doesn't happen (through jack)
If it's a common problem, let's hope we'll get a fix soon.
I find it crazy that even now there is no fix. It's getting really annoying and 1+ is doing nothing, as well as for the shutters in video playback (on YouTube or Facebook). I'm definitely disappointed and thinking about selling my phone. Did anyone find a fix?
I'm using BlackPlayer, no issues with blueooth playback stutter. Issue 1) is no problem for me, I want to hear the song from start.
No random skips or stutter.

I'm sorry but I don't care the way I should use my phone, I use it as I wish and as I've always done, it's not to OnePlus to dictate me how to use my phone. It's good if you don't care but I do. I don't want to change my habits. However you didn't my problem, it's not about random skips, it just that sometimes there's no more sounds which are casted, so it's a real issue, it's not about the starting over.
Listening to music through bluetooth is just a pain, and the phone is out for months, OnePlus did nothing. That's sad.
I'm on OOS 2.1.3-x and I use Double twist player with no problem over bluetooth. So maybe the problem is Play music

I've never had your 'no more sounds which are casted' issue experince through bluetooth. Are you full stock?
Bluetooth issues
OnePlus 2 is a pretty decent phone, offering good build quality and performance for a reasonable price.
Turn the Bluetooth off and then turn it on back again.
Clear the Bluetooth cache by going to its Settings.
Restart the phone once you have cleared the cache.
Try deleting the old and unused connections and then set up the connection all over again.
Someone tryed Bluetooth playback with the newest 2.2.1 update yet?
Last week Thursday I went back from cm13 to OOS since 2.2.0x "fixed Bluetooth". Well guess what. It didn't. Still the same problem that the next song in line gets mutet after a while of playing music through Bluetooth on my MM100 or Bose Soundlink 2.
Some things I realise:
-Poweramp don't have this issues on OOS since it handles music in an other way. So this might be a workaround for people.
-Play Music or Shuttle+ don't work nice with OOS (I needed to switch songs 27 times in order to make it play again in 6h of playing. That's ridiculous)
-back on CM13 based ROM(and CM13 self) I don't have this kind of problems. Play Music works as it should (guess Shuttle too).
Would be nice to hear if the 250mb big update fixed this bug so I can go back to Stock since I kind of like it.

Hi,
Listening music on my USB/Bluetooth speaker is working like a charm but listening music on my Bluetooth car is impossible (like importing contact and calling)
