Sound Issue - Vibrant General

I've noticed this a few time about my phone... occasionally i've found sound is coming out of the ear piece for some reason.... any other people having a similar issue like this? I can only fix via reboot.
Stock Rooted w/ lag fix and morphed bar/icons...

I sometimes get this issue too. Usually I hit pause, pull out the jack, and jam it back in there. It works.

This actually happens with nothing playing.. All of a sudden all the sounds just come out of the ear speaker

That used to happen to my rooted G1. Maybe it's a glitch with the root method you used. I am also stock root and have not noticed that yet.
My headset Jack is a bit touchy though and sometimes music or whatever will start playing through the handset.

This happens to me every time I use T-mobile's visual voicemail.

BUt they are using ones without mic, i think.
I got one nice thing (appart from some more) with my X10, it's a cord with only a mic on it and the mic has a regular 3.5 headphone jack for use with whatever headphones or spekars that you'd like, also the mic has an answering button. Should be able to find it at retailers.

Woopz shouldav wrote that i found another way.. that was to use meridian as my music app.. lookz ok, works pretty quick, pauses music when callz arrive and theres option to continue after call endz, ability to create playlists, also has a nice music control widget which mediascape lacks and drainz much less than it an all. Id highly recommend it if you use mediascape alot for music!!
Ps - if it helpz.. i tested mediascape once last week, full volume using earphones, no wifi, 3g, bt or gps.. in 1hr it drained 13%, did the same test next day with meridian app and lost 3%.. did that same test during this week except i accidentally had 3g left on and miracally it used up only 1%!
Hope it helpz!!

I use regular headphones with the X10, when I get a phone call while listening to music, it pauses, lets me answer the call, then resumes when I plug the headphones back in.
Could be another carrier specific thing though, since talking on trains/loud music is not allowed here.
Hmm jus outta curiosity (although i stil prefer meridian) do you straight away put your headphones in after call or take your time?
Ps - did extra test on meridian, same scenario except this time it was for just over 8hrz.. lost 40%!

Bluetooth music skips on high bitrate songs

Any workaround for this besides downconverting those songs I have a motorola T505 bluetooth fm transmitter. I'm sure its probably just a hardware issue on my T505 but skipping songs is as annoying as converting all those songs. Thank you

This seems to be happening with all my music, but most of/not all the time and not for a long period until recently. Which leads me to believe it's a performance issue somewhere and thinking I either need to try a different music player besides stock...or do something like logcat and try to discover what it is. I've tried many other variables for things which steal memory/CPU and nothing helps. Any tips appreciated! I run rooted stock EC05.
ETA: this happens on both my stereo BT devices, but is worse with the headphones (Sony Ericsson AW600) than the Blackberry Stereo Gateway. I get a skip every few minutes of about 1/2 a second at its most regular. Last time it appeared "fixed" was when I cleared all system caches and rebooted after a batt pull, but it returned again. :-(
Skips happen regardless of bitrate or player with my 2010 Mazda built-in Bluetooth as well. Quite annoying; I haven't narrowed down to whether it is the car or the phone though.
Of course, I get skips and pops using regular wired headphones. I hope we get better audio drivers with the GB update.
On the same boot today as yesterday, problem is temporarily gone. Only thing notable I've done was disabling and restarting BT and I don't know if that actually has any effect. It also never seems to happen while streaming audio or playing with no BT, only while playing it from the memory card using BT. Weird.
Thiss has been happening since I had a moment and I had the same music library and the same songs skip it never happens with tune in either

Just thought I'd chime in on some random recent bluetooth experience. I jog and typically hold my phone in my left hand (I use a Motorola S9 headset). The playback is fine (I use MortPlayer Music). If I move my phone to my right hand I get skips. I swear.... it's weird yet reproducible. ha.
When using my in car T505 I get no skips using any audio app.
I use a T605 in my car as well as T305 earphones. I would rarely hear a pop or skip. Now with ec05, i hear them all the time. really bums me out :'(

I have the same issue. Only happened since i asurion'd my original phone wen it was stolen... used to run eb13without issue, but with ec05 skips all the while

this seems to be a very BIG issue for anyone using bluetooth for music. can anyone confirm if this is present in any of the CM7 alpha builds because that is my only hope left for the epic

Strange headphone jack issue

A month or two ago I just started using my epic for music while I ran. I think I damaged the headphone jack somehow plugging in my earbuds because music started coming through only one earbud. But this happened on the second or third day I used it. And I never damage the headphone jack of my mp3 I use all the time. Also nothing was loose inside there, the jack seemed as strong as it ever was. So I stopped using earbuds completely and started using some bluetooth device to stream my music.
Starting yesterday the epic's speaker started fading in and out while on a call, also the mic stopped working when the speaker faded out. Then an hour or two later no sound out of the speakers and no mic 100% of the time. The speakerphone button is even disabled during my the calls. No music, game or notification sounds either. But toggling airplane mode still gives that connection/roaming notification. I tried plugging my earbuds in and one of them worked like it did before and the mic started working. But the weird part is, if it take the earbud out then in I can hear sound coming from thru epic's speaker for half a second. And if I leaver a headphone jack half way plugged in, the epic speaker works as normal. I cut off a headphone plug from a crappy pair of earbuds and taped it so it will only plug in halfway and now my phone works like normal. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I'm running the toadlife rom, but I have tried just about everything software wise to fix this to no avail. Loading stock, wiping everything, leaving battery out, nothing seems to fix it. Seems like it's something in the hardware and if it is a software glitch it's also in stock.
Defenitely a hardware problem... unroot the phone and take it to sprint and have them look at it...

I managed to fix the problem with a widget I found on the market place, toggleheadset2. It manually sets the headphone flag on or off in the OS. It's a little kludgy but my phone is back to normal. Still only one earbud works when I plug it in, but I can live with that.
I'm out of warranty and don't have TEP so I'm hesitant taking it back to sprint.
Try cleaning the headphone jack, the contacts might be a little dirty. When mine was dirty, the phone didn't know if the headphones were unplugged from the phone so the speaker and mic are disabled unless the headphones were in.
I had an issue with mine. But I couldn't hear anything while callin and it wouldn't go into speaker phone mode either. I called sprint. Went to my music and could toggle the 5.1 s. Sound on and off so I. Plugged the headphone plug inand out a few times and it di the trick. No probems since then. Works with xbox 360 controllers also lol

They might fix it for a relatively cheap price, plus it doesn't hurt to just find out, id say go check at a Sprint store first man.

Phone strangely switches between front and rear speaker.. why?

I received my device a couple of days back and today I encountered a very weird problem. Sometime phones uses the front speaker and sometimes it uses the rear loud speaker. I got a call, received it and turned the speaker on..the other person on call couldn't hear my voice but I could listen to hers. The a minute later the phone was playing everything from the front speaker rather the than rear. Be it audio songs, videos song anything. When I was pressing the volume rocker, there was no sound coming from any speaker. Finally, I restarted the phone and it's back to normal. What went wrong, any idea? As this might happen again.:s
My phone's condition: Totally stock. No root. No ROM. No kernel change. All stock. Running 4.2.2
Guess I was suppose to post it in Q&A forum. If so, mods, please move it there.

The EAR PIECE that 'can' be called a Front Speaker (as inside the earpiece is a speaker), which goes without saying.
-----------------------
Anyhow, back to the topic.. Has anyone encountered this issue on his/her device?
Seeing responses like the above quoted comment, I might add my phone rattles, but I don't find it an issue. As long as such things aren't affecting the usability of the device, I am completely OK with it. But 2 problems have really bothered me. One is well known, the camera can't focus at all and second is the subject of this thread. So, I really want to inquire if anyone came across this earpiece/speaker problem that I faced and how it was fixed, permanently.
RMA that sucker. Hardware fault.

I had a similar problem.
I would play music from the back but eventually it would play music in the earpiece. I forgot what I did prior, but it had to do with using a modified google play version.
I just re-flashed the rom and it worked fine after that.

Alright, thanks for the response.
I am playing music from the built in Music Player. And I am totally stock. Although it didn't happen again but I was hoping if I could know what to do (besides restarting) when it happens the next time.

Earpiece stops working?!?

Anyone had the earpiece just stop working? This is my 2nd day of owning the G2 and so far it has performed awesomely. I did use audio a lot today. I drove my usual route to work with Waze in the background and I listed to an hour long Podcast. Got to work and didn't use my phone at all until lunch. Went to the gym and streamed music from DI.FM for about an hour and a half. Went back to work. Then I tried to make some phone calls and the earpiece didn't work, I couldn't get any sound out of it. I made sure bluetooth was off in case it was still connected to something, and even hitting the speaker in call I still had no sound, although I could get sounds in other apps.
Finally I just did a full reboot and sound came back to the earpiece with no problems till then. It seems like a software issue, not hardware issue. Anyone else have this?
If you haven't gotten the ota it should fix this...if you have maybe worry maybe a fluke
