(Fix) Audio loss soon

by request ill make an update.zip for audio loss for eris users.
im leaving for nashville tonight so i wont be doing any work this weekend.
so i need responses on this thread on what roms DO NOT cause audio loss.
please discuss and come to an agreement on the best rom for me to pull the kernel.
mods please do not move this as i will be updating soon with fix.

What is the fix for? I know on my phone sometimes I can't hear anything when making a call.
I run my own Rom and kernel on my phone so can you just supply the fixed files or tell what they are and I will pull from the zip

what audio loss?, I've tried every rom and havn't had this problem yet.. are you talking about the dreaded audio bug? I am famililar with that as im on a refurb now from that. pre root tho.

If you mean that ringtones go silent with no warning then ZenEXP-Eris Espresso ~Rev7~ does have the issue, EE 3.0 does not so far.

I had that problem big time with Ivan's Official but with JCase's Plain Jane I havent had the problem at all.

I have that issue with the cyanogen roms and ic3rom. But as far as I've noticed the zenEXP and damageR roms do not have this issue. At least for me anyway.
I'd really like to run cyanogenELB, but the loss of audio is a deal breaker.

I'm experiencing audio loss, as far as loss of ringtone, on EE 3.0 for the last 2 days. Totally silent for every call coming in. I have rebooted, gone to a backup, not sure whats going on.

When i have had the issue before, going into to settings and resetting the rigntone worked. It would be set on default ringtone, not what I had assigned. I put it back to what i wanted and it would ring again. same thing with notifications

Can't Wait
I am using Ivans official and have had this problem a couple of times. When I place a call I hear nothing. The call goes thru on the other end but on mine its like the speaker just refuses to work. I have been wiping dalvik to temp fix the problem. Very annoying. Can't wait for the fix. Thanks in advance.

Using the rooted version of leak3 and also have the same problem with loss of audio. Reboot only way to resolve it.

Having the audio loss (go to make a call every once in a while and the phone is silent and I have to reboot) on Evil Eris 2.0.1. Also, the alarm sometimes does not go off.

I know you say DO NOT CAUSE AUDIO LOSS, but it seems like a lot of people are letting you know about their audio loss.
Sorry, but I figure I will add to this since others are speaking about Evil Eris.
For me, I get the silent bug (meaning all audio stops working: email notification, text, volume, music, ringtone selector, alarm tone--<when SB happens and I am trying to select a ringtone or alarm tone I get a FC for HTC sound something another>>--)
I have had this with EE 2.0, 2.0.1, and 3.0. My wife however is still on 2.0.1 and has never had the silent bug issue.
Also, for me, I do not get the shutter sound in camera, meaning when you take a picture it makes that camera sound noise. This happens without the silent bug, just don't get sound.
On AF http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/99973-found-what-causes-silence-lag.html this may or may not help you.
This seems to happen to me about every 24-26 hours.
And most importantly, THANK YOU for looking into this and trying to fix it!!!!!!!
edit: I wanted to clear up, I love Evil Eris! I mean no disrespect to this fantastic ROM or to Frame!!!

I'm have the same problem using Ivans official. Not sure but i think the problem starts when I'm using data and then receive a call. When I answer I hear nothing and when I try to call back I hear nothing. I just reboot to fix.

Just wanted to give an update.
I flashed Sushi last night http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701544 and am still having the silent bug making me a strong believer that I have a hardware issue.
Somewhere I read someone is thinking it has to do with the proxy sensor. Today I had silence twice, that's 2 times in just a few hours, this has never happened before. Also, each time today happened within an hour of using the camera (and I still have no shutter sound with this ROM).
I failed to mention last night that I am on an old Radio 2.40.00.01.22
I am sorry if I sound like a post whore but I just want to give accurate observations.

Camera
Seems that every time I use the camera or open the camera to browse pics it seems to somehow trigger this problem. The only time I've ever had this problem was after using the camera.

Yes, I am now thinking it has something to do with the camera. I just got the silent bug again, 3rd time today, this was after I used the camera this evening to test and see if the silent bug would happen. This time it took 90 minutes when before it seemed to happen within an hour.

I had identified the bug a while back, but no one took any interest.

I'm glad to see that more people are becoming aware of it. Hope someone finds a fix soon. The only ROM that I'm aware of that isn't having this issue is the original 1.5.

just asking
im not sure what this trouble everyone is having but im not having any problems besides mms needing the fix but other wize no other issues sound included

Well I assure you this issue is very real and very annoying. I wish I were lucky enough to not have to deal with it, but thats not the case. Can't wait till I don't have to deal with it anymore.

AOSP vs Sense Bluetooth

I've been bouncing back and forth between different roms, I used to love sense but now I am a Vanilla Convert...My wife though is firmly stuck with sense. My problem is I having been using EZHero 5 with the 6350 bluetooth firmware and In our 2010 Mazda3 the bluetooth works pretty much 100% a2dp,phone,media audio. on any of the 2.1 sense roms the phone connects to the car and calls work good but when you play media it is playing it faster then the normal playback speed, so music is in fast forward. I have attempted replacing the firmware from the aosp roms but it does the same thing...So is there a way to fix this...why is the AOSP bluetooth stack different enough from the sense stack where problems like this occur?
Hopefully somebody can shed some light on this for me.
Thanks.

really nobody has any ideas?

What about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=704976 ?

Thanks for the reply Feeyo!
I actually tried that thinking maybe that was the problem with all the sense roms, so with adb I removed the 6300 firmware file and replaced it with the 6350 posted in that thread, rebooted and the same thing happens, tonight when I get home I am going to try flashing your newest Cronos and then using Elemag's newest Kernel based on HTC Source and see if that changes things.
Thanks again.

[Q] Notification halts music playback

So I've searched using "keywords" and scoured through many similar posts on this issue within the forum and through Google with no luck, so I'm posting this request now.
Is there any way to prevent a new message/text notification sound from halting music playback?
I hook up my phone to the car to blast the music but when I get a text, it stops/halts/pauses the song, plays the notify sound, and then resumes playback.
I don't want to turn off the notifications all the way, I just want to have the notify sound play OVER or ON-TOP of the music playback
The phone is still running just the stock rom, but if you guys suggest an app or rooting, then I will do whatever it takes, thanks!

This is part of MOST phones. My phone does it, the G1 does it, my friends BB does it.

thanks fenixnr....so is there nothing that can be done to correct this on an Android device?
I know in the past I've had Windows Mobile devices with the same issue (Xperia X1) and some of the ROMs I flashed on it corrected the issue while others did not. My HD2 doesn't have this problem and it has a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack too.
Am I the only one who has noticed this
I was hoping someone else would have wanted the same thing resolved.

There is nothing to "resolve" as I am pretty sure that is by design how it should work. I cannot test this now, but try putting your phone into a silent mode when listening to your music... Of course, keep your media volume up for your music.

If memory serves me right I think that cm kanged expresso rom had the feature to play notification out of the speaker when headphones were plugged in. Cm6 might have that feature too. I'm not sure though.

So CyanogenMod-6 might have improved on this? [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755118&highlight=kanged]
Sounds exactly like what I was looking for and this is a Froyo build too? Thanks slinky, I'll give it a shot!

honestly if its only a problem when you plug your phone into the car, just put your phone on vibrate or turn the notification off.

Yeah this is honestly the one thing buggin' me right now.
I walk to work it's about a half hour walk to and from and I don't give a damn about my notifications during that time. Hah.

[Q] Bluetooth, Stock Music Player and Rom for the DROID X

I have recently bought the Droid X about a week ago. Being that this is
my first Android device, i am quickly learning what works well and
what doesn't work so well. I am an ex-iPhone user and the one thing it does
well is iPod and bluetooth integration. I struggle with this on my
Droid X.
Seems the software isn't up to snuff especially when playing my
podcasts so i use Google Listen for this across the Bluetooth protocol. The problem is that when a phone call comes in I can take it on BT but when I end the call, the stock music player app starts up as well as Google Listen(app that was currently playing). Neither knows who is the boss apparently. A similar thing occurs when starting the vehicle as the stock music player starts but not Google Listen. So I have to stop the music player and then start Google Listen. A royal pain to say the least.
Now the really interesting thing is that the stock music player WILL play my synced podcasts but will always restart the podcast from the
beginning which sucks if you are in the middle of a 2 hour podcast.
Having said all that I know that the bluetooth issues are known with DROID X but what about other solutions. What about alternate Roms? Would this offer any better solutions to problems like these? Why does one load alternate roms? To solve problems, gain new functionality, what?
I have the 2.2 OTA update. Can you update the rom from this state and
more importantly can you get back to stock VZ.
I have done the iphone jailbreaking and nor could always go back to stock OS.
I would appreciate some info on this as I would love to be able to
start resolving some of my issues if possible.
Thanks in advance.

I know that I am going to get blasted 4 this - custom roms are not going to solve any issues. They only create issues. Just read some of the threads. They are fun (to me). But the ones created for the X don't add functionality - they actually loose functionality. No panoramic in the camera. No dnla. Not hdmi out. For most people - who cares about that stuff? But they aren't created to fix blue tooth issues. They are cut down to be light and fast and themed - rooted, deodexed, zip aligned, and optimized. But I haven't seen them resolve any technical issues.
Just my opinion though. I await the thrashing from the rom crackheads. Bring it
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I agree with thepolishguy. They just add issues...

Thanks for the honest and sincere replies. I may look at rooting when the need arises as I understand there are a couple of popular apps that require this. I may have questions that need to be posted and will do so at that time.
Thanks again.

This is only slightly on topic but I was using GMaps to navigate today and had a call.. turns out my 'navigator narrarator' doesn't know what interrupt means.. does the caller hear the announcement as well? It's one thing if I can vaguely hear her, but when I can't hear the caller at ALL.. it is a bit frustrating. Guess I'll not take calls when I know a turn is coming up..

[Q] Streaming audio over bluetooth to car cuts out

Well, according to similar threads, this looks like it's a problem with quite a few phones, yet no one has been able to give a solution
Basically, the problem is that when I stream audio over bluetooth to my VW 2011 Jetta SE's stereo, every 1 or 2 minutes, the audio stops playing for a second and then fades back in.
Things I've noticed:
I'm fairly certain that the audio actually stops playing for a second rather than the volume going down for a second because I decided to test it out with a metronome. I started the metronome in sync with the music, but after the short audio cut, it became slightly out of sync.
I first noticed the problem when I flashed a Froyo Sense rom way back when (forgot which rom), but it would only happen once within a few minutes of connecting my phone to bluetooth. It wouldn't appear again until the next time I would connect to my car's Bluetooth. Not a big deal
Then I flashed a Sense 3.0 ROM. This is when it started happening every 1-2 minutes. Every Gingerbread Sense ROM I've tried after that has had this problem.
I decided to flash MIUI to try it out, and I noticed that the problem had gone back to only just happening once within a few minutes of connecting to BT. So the problem was definitely not the switch to GB, but most likely Sense on GB.
My friend has the same phone as me and has the same problem in my car, but does not have this problem in his car, so this led me to believe that somehow the combination of my car's system plus Sense on GB is not mixing well.
Problem persists in Sense 3.5
I have yet to try CM7 yet to see if that also has the problem or not.
I will regularly bump this thread to make sure people see it so that SOMEONE can figure out a solution to this problem because it's DRIVING ME INSANE (well, you know, unless the mods are like "**** you stop bumping this ****")

bumpin' as promised.

and i'm bumpin' again

Have u tried switching radios? I a2dp stream to my after market indash DVD player and never gave any issues.
Running tdj dark side runny with .26 radio.
Although i remember when the phone first came out there were massive issues with bt connections to certain in dash stock decks, but believe it got resolved over time with ota updates

I have been keeping up to date with radios. I just flashed the latest radio and went back to the stock rooted GB sense ROM and BT seems to be working fine, but I don't know if that's just because it's the stock ROM. I'll try flashing Darkside Sense or Virtuous Affinity and see if the problem returns.

I have the same problem with my bluetooth every minute and half it cuts out then fades back in I drive a 2011 golf. I noticed in my moms 2011 acura rdx turbo it doesn't fade out period. I believe its just the volkswagen bluetooth setup
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Welp. Tried Virtuous Affinity. BT Problem came back even on the latest radio. I just got a replacement phone because the vibrate on my phone stopped working for whatever reason. I'll flash it on that to see if it works.

Welp, flashed new phone with Darkside Sense. Same problem :/

Thanks for posting this. I have the same problem with my new Passat. I listen to audiobooks on my long commute and the problem is severely irritating in that context. The first 1-2 words are chopped out of the sentence every 30-60 seconds, because narrators pause their recording to edit or practice inflection or whatever. Result: having to guess what is going on in the story while restraining myself from punching the dash. I'm resorting to aux cable for now and will watch this thread to see if it's ever resolved.
