I am having problems with ICS and the a2dp streaming after initial connection. I can't stream audio to any devices after the 2nd connection. This issue can be fixed with a cold boot (usually).
As near as I can tell this is an issue with all Rezound ICS ROMs
I have been trying to edit /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and going through different iterations, but so far haven't been able to find the right combination (if it is even possible to fix from there).
I noticed there have been other bluetooth issues with other ICS ROMs for other devices (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450962), note the a2dp fix in the changes log.
I am not sure if this is even the same issue on that ROM, but it may help provide a clue.
Anyone else have any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks!
Or a similar problem I have been having is connecting fine after initial pairing but being unable to reconnect without unpairing and a cold restart. Same problem in every ICS rom.
There's times mine will connect and work fine. Other times it says connected but sound will come out the phone speakers instead of the car speakers. This seems random and comes and goes. I haven't rebooted today and I was able to connect fine three or four times and a couple times I wasn't.
I havent been able to stream music at all.
Hi there,
I've got really strange problem with my XPERIA MINI PRO - when I plug in the headphones, the phone wouldn't recognize them.
Only if I've had them plugged before BOOT of my phone.
So, when Iam turning on / rebooting my phone with plugged phones, they're working and recognized, but when I disconnect them, same problem -> phone ignores it.
So, my xperia mini pro can't recognize the action of plugging in phones in general. Have tried official kernel, custom kernel, few roms and its deffinitely a hardware problem.
Does anyone knows how does this phone recognize that? And what might be my problem?
Thanx for any ideas.

i have a similar problem on mine, but mine thinks it has headphones plugged it all the time! i downloaded an app called "headset toggle" it gives you a widget on your home screen to show if headphones are connected or not, and clicking on the icon forces a connect or disconnect of them regardless of wether they are connected or not, should fix your problem:

edit: just to add i have 4.0.4 and it works perfect on my phone
Headset not recognising
i am facing the similar problem...... my headset is also not detecting when i plug in, detecting only when i reset my phone and when i unplug again it's not detecting. i face this problem since i update my mobile to latest version (ICS 4.0.4)

Hello,
I had the exact same problem. It was a hardware problem. The only way is to take it in for service as I did. was repaired at electronics level.
Is it possible to solve this problem with headphones? Any app? Toggleheadset does not work for me. Thanks

did you use a SE headphone or a normal headphone?
i got similar problem. If jack isnt plugged in, there are some electronical noises in microphone, so i cant use, if i remove jack, the phone doesnt recognize. i ToggleHeadset, now microphone works good, and recognized that i removed the jack
what hardware causes this problem? i ask it because i bring my mini pro friday to the service, and maybe i'll ask about it there for repair.

This is a halfway software solution to make the phone work, for a complete repair i believe taking the phone to service is necessary.
I have a hardware problem where xperia mini pro (Stock Rom ICS 4.0.4) is constantly detecting headphones connecting and disconnecting. This stops all the multimedia with sound, so it was impossible to start a music file or video because it was automaticly paused).
Disabling the Live ware app (connect now app) did not help,
This may not work for people who can not make phone play music or videos after headphones are inserted,
I managed to solve problem with software and by inserting headphones in the jack once every boot.
You need 2 apps; soundabout and toggleheadset2 (widget),
soundabout does not need to be registered), you will just need to set soundabout service to run on every boot, and set the 'media audio' output to speaker by default.
Every time phone is booted or rebooted insert the headphones, then play a song, remove the headphones and toggle headset to off, every time you wish to use the headphones you will need to toggle the headset widget to on manually,
i recommend to have phone calls and messages also set to vibrate in case you forget to toggle after unplugging the headphones.
I have not yet managed to get working the headset microphone,
If the headphones work in iPhone they wont work in Xperia mini pro or arcs or 2011 device , u need JVC gummy plus , they come with adaptor to sort the problem

There is 2 headphone and Mic standards omtp and cita and only one headphone standard, older Xperia used a differnt standard to what they use today , everyone jumped on the iPhone standard

Hello,
I have got a "YokaTV KB2" box with Android 6.0.1.
This box has an AMLogic s912 SOC, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB ROM, 2.4/5GHz WiFi, Bluetooth 4, 2 USB, 1 HDMI, 1 AV, 1 SD card, gigabit Ethernet and 1 DC input connectors, plus a remote controller. Of course, it doesn't have a screen, speaker, microphone, camera, GPS and any sensors built-in. The device is rooted by factory and has Google Play market installed. So, this is not a classical smartphone or tablet, just a board with Android installed and video is outputted to HDMI, inputs are bluetooth or wifi keyboards, mice or its own infra red remote controller.
My issue is:
I have researched a lot in order to have a "sure fire" at choosing USB webcamera. As you may know this is not that easy task like in case of Windows. You can easily choose the "wrong one" that gives no video and/or audio (mic) on Android.
Anyway, I've found out that Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 will be my choice, so I've bought that one. I've also checked it out by an app called CameraFi. It has perfect HD video (up to 720p) and audio (built-in USB microphone) on Android. Bingo... so far...
Then I've installed Skype for Android. Called voice test to check the connection out, but it finished "too fast" and I've not heard my voice. A bad sign...
Then I've called my other device and found out that video is going through perfectly (if we can call 640x480 resolution "perfect" for Skype), but no voice heard.
As you may know there are just a few device settings in Android Skype compared to Windows one. One for video quality (hi/lo) and that's all. No setting for sound input, so I can't select sound source (e.g. internal mic and usb audio/mic).
So, I've got a half-success regarding Skype on Android.
I guess, since internal microphone is configured in box's android, Skype is sticking to use it as default. But as the box has no internal microphone hardware, I can hear nothing (or just low volume static) on the counter side.
My questions:
1. Can I somehow "force" Skype for Android to use webcam's USB microphone instead of the phantom "built-in" mic?
I've tried to remove (comment out) built-in mic from "audio-policy.conf" file, but Skype just threw a message like "microphone is used by another app, quit that app or wait until it ends" or similar.
2. As it seems (as per the above) Skype WANTS to use (the non-existant) internal mic... is there a way to "re-route" the existant USB mic to show up as internal microphone to Skype? Are there any "build.prop" or other config file magics exists for this?
3. If none of the above, then is there a custom modded version of Skype for Android that has a bit more settings regarding audio/video ? I've found a few here but those were worked up to Android 4, but not for 5 or 6. And also I'm not sure if they has the audio settings needed...
4. As a final solution: I would also be happy with an alternative Skype client that could handle my webcam perfectly. But so far, all my searches resulted that "as a new feature:" Skype is missing from the popular clients (IM+, Imo etc.). But we never know, maybe there is one left exist...?
Thanks for reading my lengthy first post.
Is there a solution to the problem above?
I saw a "Sound Device Manager" section within Settings of Android 4.x.x on other TV-boxes.
Maybe there is a way to "enable" such a settings block within Android 6.0.1, too?
Hi, just faced same problems as DonJoee: (Scishion V88 Mini II TV Box, Rockchip RK3229,2 Gb/8Gb, Android 6.0), also after some research (tried already 3 webcams (Trust, Microsoft, No-name) :
-All cams detected by system
-All cams are showing/sending videostream perfect everywhere (skype, viber, UsbWebCameraPro etc.)
Webcam build-in microphone (also all cams): works perfect in Google voice search, UsbWebCameraPro. Problem: Does not work in messaging Apps (both Skype and Viber).
-Recommended disabling „OK Google on every screen“ does not help.
-Looks like after plugging, webcam’s microphone is detected correctly in /dev/snd/ as pcmC3D0c.
-Looks like messaging app always forced to use device internal microphone (TV boxes have no internal microphone), just ignoring others.
In addition to methods of DonJoee i have tried add in bild.prop:
usb.audio.cap.device=pcmC3D0c
audio.input.active=AUDIO_CODEC
Regretfully it does not help.
Any hint on app, that manages audio devices on Android 6.0?
Any other ideas?
Thanks
I faced a similar issue with my Huawei Honor 8 connected through USB OTG (USB C) to my USB microphone Blue Yeti. Tested on a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact as well with the same behaviour. When calling the Echo / Sound test service no audio was recorded at all. On a similar note, attempting to record using one of the few audio recording apps that allow input from USB microphones (RecForge II) was unsuccessful: when set up to use the "default" (and not the internal) microphone the recordings would not start (i.e. the visual representation of the sound input normally seen was static and zero and the time indicator did not move). However, a sound file with length "-596:-31:-23" was still created at every attempt.
I attempted a wide range of options, including enabling/disabling USB Debuggning and selecting different options in Select USB Configuration (including Audio source and MTP) in Developer options. I also made sure USB audio routing was not disabled in Developer options. No change had any effect, and I was confused that upon changing USB mode in the scrolldown menu that appears upon connecting the Blue Yeti to anything else than "Reverse charging" only made the red LED on the Blue Yeti turn off for a second, and then come back on as the phone automatically reverted the setting to Reverse charging. I also tried different USB cables and different OTG adapters to no avail.
The solution I found after much experimenting was not really related to the above. I found that, when attempting to record using the USB microphone in RecForge II, the recording would start if I disconnected and reconnected the USB microphone while recording. What happens is that the phone phone reverts to recording with the internal microphone when the USB microphone is disconnected, hence starting the recording since the audio input is valid. Upon reconnecting the USB microphone (still during recording), there is a few seconds of silence but then the phone switches to taking audio from the USB microphone input and I can record as normal.
The same applies for Skype. When calling the Echo/Sound test service with the USB microphone connected, I wait for the signal to start recording a message and then quickly disconnect and reconnect the USB microphone. This way, I am able to record a message using the USB microphone that is played back to me afterwards. I expect the same solution to apply during Skype calls (disconnecting and reconnecting should enable Skype to take audio from the USB microphone) but I have not tested this.
Hi there,
i noticed that my BT is not working properly after the update 10.3.1. My Sonys headphone are now detected as a SBC device and not a AAC. Tested on an iPhone the headphones are detected correct as a AAC device. Now the first connect take longer as before. If i connect a Headset it normally takes 3 seconds to connect. Now up to 20 seconds ...
Any tips except a factory reset ?
Hi all, I have andoid tv box A95X max, after 6 month working, suddenly HDMI stops working, AV works, but HDMI not, I tried reboot, but still no effect, please help me to solve problem. Thankyou in advance.
I have exactly your same problem in a A905X F3 S905X3. The HDMI video signal suddenly died but, after reinstall the stock firmware several times, I have detected that AV signal works, but I cannot choose between HDMI and AV. If I try to swap, I loose the image. Did you solve it?
I have A95XF3 Air..after a year HDMI and AV both stopped working..Tried to hard reset but nothing works..It boots up fine with display light detects network bug no display out to TV..Tried different cables...
What is the problem? Hardware issue..Can a firmware update solve it?
