Ringer plays out of ear piece speaker - Epic 4G General

Running stock dk28 and I'm missing phone calls because the ringer is playing out of the ear piece speaker instead of the speaker phone speaker. Has anyone seen this? Anyone have a fix?
Also, my ear piece speaker pops sometimes for no reason. It's really killing me!
To note, stock di works just fine, no pops, nothing. Ringer works just fine.

I posted about this issue a while back. It seems to happen after disconnecting Bluetooth.

I've often wondered if that was the case. Wonder if it has to do with the bluetooth stack? So really, only the two of us are having this issue?

It's possible that you two are the only ones using a bluetooth headset that detach it while expecting calls.

Acutally I just notced this issue yesterday. I have the motorola s10 stereo bluetooth headset that I use every morning when I go to the gym. I usually have my ringer on vibrate but I noticed that the ringer was playing through the ear piece and not the speaker. I reset the phone and everything went back to normal but is there a fix for this?

I had the same issue once, but unfortunately I'm not sure what triggered it, I don't use bluetooth ever.
restarting the phone resolved it and I haven't seen it since.

Stupid bluetooth. Oh well. Hope they fix it before they release it in a few years. Haha!

Out from speaker when headphones connected?

When I plug in the headphones(the one's included) the output comes from the speaker AND headphnes at the same time? I might be a lil tipsy but I can't find in the menu for this....I just wanna hook up my headphones and quietly jam out. But can't!

How did you guys fix this? I tried battery pull and turned on/off but no luck. The headphones quality sounds horrible when this happens. Starting to think it's a hardware issue? Thanks for your help.

All I did was did a battery pull. Left it out for about 10 seconds, then put it back in. I must say the sound quailty is nice(headphones that were included). I came from a moment and sound was low....on here its loud

i had the same issue when i was using Btunes to listen to music. When i went back to the stock app and also doubletwist the issue went away. I thought i was going crazy when i sat my phone down and could still hear music. LOL.

I had the headphones/speaker playing today at the same time as well, it happened when I didn't push the headset in all the way and then backed it out and replugged. It probably botched the software up going in/out/in like that, probably locked the external speaker on.
Yours, on the other hand, sounds like hardware. When the cable gets wonky on my aux wire, I get severe quality issues and I can kind of imagine what you're getting at with yours. Make sure that the plug clicks all the way in, and if the problem keeps happening - hardware it is.

[Q] bluetooth problem

I just purchased a new stereo for my car, a Sony mex-bt2800. I paired my phone to the deck no problem, but the audio stream seems to keep getting interupted for a second or two at random. Is anyone else having similar issues streaming to a2dp devices? I don't have any other a2dp devices to pair the phone to, so I don't know if it's a problem with the phone or the deck.
Edit: New problem, see my last post.
This happened to me before. For my phone it turned out to be a battery widget. Weird.
Edit: I have a similar setup. Sony MEX-3700U.

I've got no idea how to fix this issue, but yes, I get the same problem. I've noticed that A2DP sounds like garbage with this phone. My wife's Evo sound a lot better (though still not great). Just wanted to comment that you're certainly not alone with this problem. I've just learned to live with it until Samsung fixes the whole headphone out/bluetooth source issue.

My sound quality is great. I can't tell the difference between AUX and bluetooth on my sony.
For me the sound would jitter on both my car stereo and when using wired headphones.
Something is peggin the phone. I had to run logcat to find out what it was.

Mine sounds fine to my jabra extreme. I actually hook it up usb to my head unit and it sounds awesomer that way...yes that's right, awesomeR. You can't ask for great sound quality from a bt headset, kind of their major flaw.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The sound quality is actually pretty good, much better than I anticipated. I'm going to play around with it some more today and see if I can find a solution. It was skipping a lot, atleast 10 times in a 3 minute song. I'll run it through some tests and report back.
Thanks for your input guys! Much appreciated.
P.S.- dangdang, I'm loving the avatar!!! Disc golf rules lol!

Well... I think I figured it out. Lastnight, I had accidentally left wifi on when I left the house. Today it was off and not a single skip for the 1.5 hours I was driving. Awesome!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I guess that's a possibility. I leave my wifi on all the time, so that would explain it. I'll have to check it next time I head out somewhere. Thanks, man.
new problem
Now I can't get the AVRCP controls to work for the stock music player. Any suggestions?
I have the same unit... skips and volume work on pandora for me.
But I don't know what AVRCP stands for so I am not sure if that has anything to do with what you are attempting.

dk28 did that crap too.
when streaming via bluetooth, then u take a call, then switch back to streaming or some stupid combination the sounds come from the earpiece and not the speaker and not the bluetooth headset. AND the earpiece makes weird and random popping/buzzing noises as well.
I was hoping that EB13 would fix this but meh.. it's too much to expect Samsung and/or Sprint to do anything right.

Echo while auxiliary connection to car??

My roomate has a verizon phone that he's hooked up to his car to listen to pandora/make phone calls via auxiliary cable to his car. Sounds great so I decided to give it a try.
I have tried 5+ auxiliary cables, even ones with built in mics. The person on the other end of the phone hears an annoying echo and makes phone calls unbearable, help?
I also tried it on my girlfriends fascinate, same problem.
How loud do you have the radio? I do this all the time with no issues

Just loud enough to hear without trouble. Just so were on the same page, this is simply connecting your phone to your cd deck to hear the other person talking through your car speakers. I've tried it with both my epic and my girlfriends fascinate using many cables on three different cars with same results. :\
Have you tried connecting to other cd decks?

Your phone's microphone goes into speaker phone mode when external speakers are connected (i.e. your car stereo), and at the same time the audio is coming out of multiple, larger speakers whereas it would normally come out of one much smaller speaker. The software will still use the same noise cancellation algorithm regardless, so it probably can't filter out the stereo as well because it is tuned for the built-in speaker. Maybe there is an app for that?

You are correct but the microphone is only enabled when using had phones with a microphone. I've used my phone numerous times connected to the car threw the aux port with out no issues.

Yes, I've tried it on three different cars. Both my epic, and my girlfriends fascinate have the annoying echo. I even tried it in my friends car, where his works fine.
Know what the issue might be?

Pandora crackle??

I never heard this on froyo but every gb rom I've tried even cm7 when I play pandora I get a electric crackle through my speakers. I've tried high quality mode which its not as bad as normal but its still there. This also happens with or without voodoo. I have also uninstalled and re installed from the market. Is this happening to anyone else or know a fix or is it the kernel?

If you're talking about external speakers, make sure the speakers aren't too close to the phone or any other wireless devices.
I'm having the same issue with my epic, my wife is also having the issue on her stock nexus s. It happens with or without external speakers plugged in.

This happens in my truck with my phone plugged into cd player with 3.5mm jack and my phone sits on passenger side seat. It has always sat in the same spot while I listen to pandora since froyo. The funny thing is I don't hear the crackle if I use music player its only pandora. So then maybe its just pandora needs to update their app.

I've noticed this in the car, both over bluetooth and through the auxiliary input. It seems to do it less at home when I'm on WiFi, though.

Had this problem as well I put it in high quality then restarted the app and that seems to work as I can't hear the crackle anymore but most likely pandoras fault there was a recent update that may have caused this

I just opened up my world to Pandora the other day, noticed this right away. I've never been a big music guy, but either way, I'm noticing the same exact thing. Both in my car through the 3.5mm jack and at home over Wifi.
I've not used Pandora in a long time, so I can't comment on its abilities with the Epic but- I will suggest trying Slacker Radio. I switched to it months ago and haven't looked back. I personally like it a lot better and it seems to work great so far.

Anyone having this issue with pandora if you are completely stock could you download log collector from the market then upload the log here and I can send that to pandora?
You obviously have to be running the log before its crackling.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I have noticed the same thing, running legendary / samurai. In particular occasional high pitched squeaks and beeps. Thanks for letting me know it's not my imagination.
So glad I came across this thread!
Just upgraded from CM9 RC2 (where Pandora worked flawlessly) to CM9 stable and I started hearing the crackling and it only seems to be linked to Pandora.
