Issues since 4.3 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Since updating to 4.3 I have garbled distorted audio when trying to play music in Play Music for the first time on every boot. Any ideas? It's like constant stuttering every second until I pull the headset and plug it back in.
I am back on 4.2.2 and am still having the same issue. Any ideas?

[Q] Headphone jack problem! Nexus 7 16gb

I'm having a huge problem with my nexus 7. Every time I plug in my headphones the sound works for a while then makes a popping sound. Then stops working for 10-15 seconds. But today, it does it rapidly, i tried listening to music on Pandora and other music players and i cant even listen to thirty seconds of audio without it popping and messing up. Also when i watch YouTube videos the video stops when it happens.
Rooted and Unlocked.
ROMaranoid Android 3.0.0 (used to use Cyanogenmod's night lies)
Kernel:M-Kernel. Tried out Franco, highly unstable for me.
Can someone please tell me what to do?
Not sure if this helps but when charging it makes a constant buzzing sound in the headphones.

[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?

[Q] Music bug on Lollipop

Hello,
I have upgraded my S5 to Android 5.0 Lollipop (BOB7) and I think there is some strange bug. When I listen to music with stock music player sometimes in the middle of the song music volume mutes itself.
Can anyone confirm this bug?
Thanks.
Im on BOB7 too and don't have this bug, Ive listened to hours of music continuously without problems
Did you factory reset after updating to Lollipop? Kitkat leaves behind rubbish files that cause problems
I reset mine after having terrible battery life after the update, and it's been great since

[Q] Notification causes music to play from speakers with headphones plugged in.

Hey guys! Sorry for just appearing here with a question. I hope you can help me.
I have a really bad problem with my Galaxy S5. My S4 was fine until I updated to Lollipop, so I think that's the problem.
I'm playing music with headphones plugged in, Whatsapp notification sound plays through speakers.
That's fine.
BUT suddenly during notification, the music ALSO plays through the speakers for a few seconds! This is really frustrating because I receive messages throughout the day and don't want everyone around me to be disturbed with what I'm listening to (in library, on bus, etc.).
Thank you so much for any advice you can give me! Nothing I try works.
PS: Before Lollipop, Whatsapp notification would play on speakers and audio still through headphones. That was fine.
I have exactly the same issue.
This is so annoying. I've tried the soundabout app but it freezes my phone when starting a call.
I have root and am running extrolite rom -I don't want to flashflash Cm - without avail.

Spotify Issues / Notifications disappearing / music not stopping phone calls

Is it just me or anyone running Spotify notice that there seem to be some bugs recently...
I noticed that the Spotify notifications disappear every once and awhile while music is playing. I'm wondering if this is something that was introduced into 6.0 or what. Anyone have any ideas? I can open spotify check back an hour later and it's still playing but I have to switch back to the app and the notification comes back. This is pretty frustrating when trying to stop the music from running. It can also happen after 20 minutes it seems...
Another issue is that I receive a phone call but the music starts playing in earpiece or bluetooth while the phone is occurring. Combine this with issue 1 and you have a difficult situation here...
I have had the notification disappear once or twice, but more commonly I am using the phone and swipe Spotify out of my recents (I do it A LOT on accident because I my recent apps clean) and it will continue to play. I have to then open Spotify and wait for it to show what is playing at the bottom, then swipe it out again and it stops.
Last night was the first time I've had it mess up with a phone call. I was in my car and it was dark and raining, I was driving downtown and not really wanting to talk on the phone anyway, but I hit answer on the handsfree in my car. The music started playing through the phone audio in my car. My car only has bluetooth for phone calls so I use a bluetooth A2DP dongle to feed the 3.5mm line in port on the stereo. The music was clearly playing over the phone because it was of much poorer quality than the A2DP device. I only let it play for a second or two before I hung up on the person because it was probably BLASTING on their end.
I don't get a ton of phone calls, let alone when music is playing, but that's the first time I've had that particular issue.
I also get this strange thing where sometimes when playing bluetooth and disconnect it will start playing out of my stereo which can be embarrassing if you're at work! All the issues seem random so hopefully they go away or get patched.
Ditto, I am having a ton of issues with Spotify on my N6P. Music just stops playing, I have to open the app, hit pause and then hit resume for it to start playing sound again.
I am also having the same issue with music playback suddenly stopping. I have to pause it and hit play again. But it then stops playing again every 30 seconds. I am using an aux cord in my car but frankly I am quite annoyed.
I’m having the issue with the lock screen widget/notification disappearing sometimes, it's especially annoying when in my car and I want to skip/repeat a track and the widget disappears. My guess it's a marshmallow issue and should be fixed with an update to the app.
similar issues for me here now. guess we just need to wait for an app update.

My Spidey senses tell me is has something to do with doze, my N6P stops Spotify every time it's put into my pocket, recent Spotify update hasn't fixed anything???

Doze won't activate if your phone is in your pocket. It only triggers when the device is sitting completely still for some time. I have had Spotify repeatedly pause itself when my battery was very low (<10%) before, though. I would press play and as soon as the screen shut off, it would pause again. I didn't turn off battery optimization for Spotify explicitly yet, but mine doesn't seem to be acting up as much as it was before.
It just occasionally removes the ongoing notification but launching and exiting the app again restores it every time.

I have the 6p and now music will randomly stop playing with any music app if connected via 3.5mm.
Same issue here with music still on phone calls.
Use Pioneer BT head unit in the car and stream Music and Calls over it. Use Spotify premium with all music offline.
I have posted on the Spotify forums but so far have not seen any replies that will fix the issue.
One person recommended uninstalling and reinstalling the application, however I don't really want to have to download 6GB of music again...
I am also experiencing these issues. Waiting on updates to Marshmallow and/or Spotify to fix them... It is quite frustrating though.
i've now experience some similar issues. just waiting on an update like everyone else.
I've had the disappearing notification, as well as audio dropouts while listening via wired headset and Bluetooth (though that one might be caused by Viper4Android - not sure)
My Spotify + Nexus 6P issue is when I'm listening to music and then I press the app drawer. I momentarily lose sounds for a very short period of time, not even a second, split second maybe. Though it is intermittent, it kinda bugs me out.
