Bluetooth media help - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I have done some searching and can not find any help so I come to you the experts. I have a Galaxy s4 running FreeGS4 v2.0.0 with the 3.4.10 agat_Freegs4 kerenal. The problem only seems to show up when I have Bluetooth connected and also only seems to happen when I have a custom kernal installed. when I am using my stock media player it will randomly pause, advance to next song, rewind to previous song, or increase/decrease volume. The problem seems to get more and more frequent the longer I use the app. When I reboot the phone it seems to go away for awhile then comes back. I had this same trouble when I had my galaxy s3 as well. Is it possible that it is a setting I have wrong when running a custom kernel? or maybe it is is not even related to the kernel and I am just betting on the wrong hand? Please help because this is really annoying.

Music skipping issues (headset blocker doesnt work)

So i got this problem for many months now.
It does not matter which player i choose (i tried most common ones)
and the app headset blocker doesnt fix the issue.
basically the music just randomly stops or loops or just changes wildly around.
im running cm 7.1 but previous versions were the same.
is there any other fix yet? headphones are standard sennheiser inear.
sometimes it works though..but mostly not.
I had the same problem with aftermarket earphones.
Randomly music would play, pause, restart loop crash and whatever.
Took me months to figure out, this is my lifesaver now:
Disable AutoPlay will disable your Media Button Inputs from your headset remote control. This will avoid your phone from starting the media player if you connect normal headphones.
warning: if media button is disabled you will not be able to accept calls with your headset remote control.
You can download it from the market, its free.'
Search for Disable Autoplay.
Well since i dont even have a headset that wont matter... ill try that, i couldnt reproduce the bug now but ill see if it gos away now..thanks anyway
So this happens when you wear headphones (are standard sennheiser inear) or random running musicplayer?? .
So i could test it today and it didnt fix the issue.
it happens when i hear music via headphones with any music player.
( for example winamp playerpro stock player etc...)
any other ideas?
From posts that i read, the number of circles on the ear phones Jack can cause the skips.
Im using a skull candy earphone and its working fine. The headset blocker is taking in effect. Music does not skipping/pause/replay anymore. Im running on absolutionv3.7 based on cm7. Oh yeah, I'm using stock music player.
But headset blocker does not work on sense roms. T.T I wish it worked on sense roms. Also, stock music player on sense rom.

ell now i went into some famous german media shop and looked around if there were any headphones that around complete garbage and work with htc phones specifically, but of course no luck. and since all the other headphones have the exact same connector i dont think it will change a thing.
i still onder if it could be cm7?
well i read same issues from stock rom users. and it as the same with cm6.
and i now learned that those are the only headphones with that connector that i own :l
can you recommend me another good rom to try?
must have is (which was the initial reason i use cm) a fixed bluetooth stack. stock rom doesnt allow me to use my wiimote (and afaik all sense roms have that issue)
a kernel that lets me oc to at least 1,5 gh and an overall slim look and feel. hate that rubbish sense stuff.
@kakihara - What kernel are you using? I had massive music skips when used default cm kernel, but when I changed to LordClockan BFS kernel, all music skips were gone, and I can fully enjoy music listening no matter what player I choose.
@Desire HD & CyanogenMod
I too had a similar issue after I flashed CM7 & 7.1. Also had this issue with an ICS ROM (I forget which one). I am interested to see the cause and any fixes. I gave up and went back to my trusty RCMix3D V4.0 ROM.
I actually sent my phone to repair when i first discovered this issue, but they couldn't determine anything wrong with my phone. When i installed headset blocket, it thankfully worked(from time to time). But my final solution is that i'm going to buy a pair of Klipsch Image S4a(Android Controls), since i'm in need of some new earbuds anyway. I hope it solves the issue.

MIUI V4.1 stable Music Player issue

Hello,
I have performed a search without results so hopefully I won't get flamed for Newbie errors! (Although I am willing to accept that if necessary...)
I am running the V4.1 version of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010498 and have the following problem:
When I plug a mini-jack in (plugging into amp or car radio usually), the MIUI music player starts playing and often randomly changes track, every 2 seconds or every minute or so. I can pause it or close the problem, but it opens itself and starts playing again. I've explored the application settings to no avail. Quite random and annoying. Anybody else experienced this? I feel I should update to the latest ROM but don't want to create other problems in the process - otherwise the ROM works well.
Thanks,
Will
i had the similar problem before
there was this one app that auto starts the music player & can't seem to turn it off, I finally found the app & turn off the autoplay in it's settings
Thanks, sorry for delay. Which app caused the problem? I have looked but can't find yet.
thanks again

[Q] S4 weird sound issue

this has happened with my stock rom and new rom. i am currently running triforce 4.0 but has happened since i owned the phone. basically i listen to pandora a lot while i am working. i pause the song in pandora when i turn off the van. when i hit play the volume is always really low almost to the point where you cannot hear the audio. the sound returns to normal once it gets to the next song or when i receive a text message. I've tried to re download pandora but has not fixed the issue. does anyone else have this problem or a solution to this issue?

Multiple Audio streams?

I just noticed this the other day. That the stock OS of the note 3 can NOT stream more then sound at a time. Is this the case with all 4.3 or just Samsung specific?
Its quite annoying how the music completely stops every time a notification sound comes up
I hope they change or something, or am I doing something wrong? Besides a different rom.

bluetooth audio cutting out when screen sleeps/phone locked.

This just started today, does it with Roms and stock (safestrap)
Any audio program, pandora, iheart, music player works fine on in my car or when linked to my motorcycle helmet.. until the screen sleeps, then the audio cuts in and out every few seconds.
I know there is a known android issue with bluetooth, but this ONLY happens when the phone is locked/screen off.. with the screen on its perfect...
Any ideas?
bump. I have the same issue. Using CM 10.2 on the N7100. Everything works super when the phone is not locked, otherwise sound cuts every other second. My Tab 2 running CM9 works great even when locked.
This used to happen whenever I installed a custom rom but never on the stock roms.

Just moved from a Galaxy S3 to an S4, and I am seeing this issue, where I had no issue on the S3. It's as if the bluetooth radio goes into some low power mode. If I move the phone closer to the headset, reception improves. I was thinking I needed to update the radio in this phone, but reading your responses, that does not seem to be the issue.
