Headset blocker issue. the problem has come back...

Ok, I know there's a few posts around here about the crazy headset events being miscommunicated from headphones without controls.
(Just incase anyones unaware, some people are reporting that a regular pair of headphones with no mic or playback controls interferes with the music player and starts randomly skipping etc (extremely frustrating). This hasn't been fixed by HTC yet, but the app 'Headset Blocker' did the trick for me perfectly...)
...However it's back! But this time when playing video. It doesn't skip it just pauses and unpauses randomly.
So I'm on the train watching some tv shows through the stock video player and it pauses and unpauses all the time. When it pauses I just unpause it and maybe watch about 10-20 secs of video. but sometimes it unpauses by itself just before I try, so I end up pausing it again! This little game of silly buggers can get really annoying.
It's like the video player can see my thumb coming towards the screen to unpause it and then it unpauses just in time for me to pause it again......
AAAAArrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh the infuriating, frustratingly crazy madness....count to 10 ......and ....relax
Anyone (preferably HTC) with a solution will go straight to the top of my Christmas card list.

I have the same problem, when I connect the DHD to my auto radio!!! Anyone know if it is possible to disable the headset controls?
Thanks....

Your problem can be easily fixed with the app 'Headset Blocker' (as mentioned in my first post).
My problem is different from yours.

Thanks. Yes, it works.......should just read your post more carefull. Have you found a solution to the video playback?

Spontaneous pausing during audio playback?

Hi,
Often, while listening to music in my car, the audio will randomly, and spontaneously, pause for no apparent reason. Sometimes it will start up again after a few seconds, but usually I'll have to hit 'play' myself. This problem is particularly apparent in Spotify, but it has happened in YouTube and Google Play Music as well. Has anyone else experienced this?

Are you plugged in? My first thought is a loose (or breaking) 3.5 mm cord.
Playback in any of those apps will auto pause when a connection is lost (bt or a cord). If you're on bt do other phones do the same thing?

Nope, connected via BT to my car's audio system. Didn't have this problem on my OnePlus One.

This happened to me and I was paying through my speakers

The last two days I have this problem too.
Parrot carkit,Lg watch,ue megaboom.
The music is sometimes lost,and then it starts again.
On my megaboom it cracks a lot.
Very annoying.

Frank_Murphy,
I have this issue as well only with the Google Music app. I can't find the source where I read it but it has something to do with the app and if there is an available video; Some songs have a wallpaper or something and some you can play a music video in the app for the song instead. You just have to hit the back/forward button and it resumes.

sound cutting out a lot

Is anyone else having problem with the sound cutting out for a split second at least once per song? I am having this problem whether it's Poweramp, Spotify, of playing a music video. It seems worse when using the phone or right now while copying files to the SD card from the computer. Last time i had audio cutting out or glitching on a phone was the POS Motorola Razer HD I had. It was horrible.

anyone else having this problem? it's driving me crazy. The sound cuts out for a split second for every song and sometimes multiple times in one song. it's doing it a bunch for each song at the moment. I rebooted the phone but no change. It's pretty disappointing. I passed up LG for the last few years because of quality control issues and I hoped this time they would have a good phone.

Is your music on a memory card?

Yes. Same card I used on my GS7 with no problems. But it does it on spotify too and that's streaming.

still having problems with the sound cutting out. I counted 5 times on one song and 2 times on the next song. Not to mention all the other songs it does this. I guess I'm going to have to call Verizon tomorrow. I was hoping someone on here had some insight or know of a software update that might fix it. I don't know if a replacement would fix it or if i need to exchange for a different model. Does anyone else have problems or is it working fine with Spotify or Poweramp etc? Oh the next song just started and about 30 seconds in it did it again. ugh!!! It makes my skin crawl it irritates me. And it just did it again as I'm typing. argh!!!!

Same thing happens on my end, using Spotify (Internal storage or SD card do the same thing, tried both). This happens to me streaming via Bluetooth to my Pioneer head unit in my car, every 2-3 songs I will get a 0.5-1second mute and then it resumes playing as normal.

I've had it happen either wired or bluetooth. This is troubling not knowing if it's software or hardware problems and if LG is going to have a fix anytime soon.

Ughhhhhhhhhh I'm having the same issue! It was especially bad when I first set up the phone brand new out of the box. It got to the point that I did a factory reset. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem and my audio still cuts out exactly like you said -- for about a second at a time. My songs are also on my SD card but it also happens when I stream from Google Play Music. I'm glad it's not just me, but LG better address this.

getting this as well
I only stream from Google play music. Doesn't matter if I choose high quality or normal, I get fairly regular popping/crackling and occasional glitches. I installed the snapdragon audio+, didn't help.

Haven't heard it cut out, but am hearing some kind of... I don't know..... feedback when it's turned up. Trying to pay more attention to see if I can isolate / identify it.

I've had this issue with every LG. I know a lot of people say that as if they've had LG but just over exaggerating but I really have had every flagship LG since the Optimus G. It never mattered if it was plugged in or Bluetooth. I noticed it more with my car stereo. I always just assumed I had a faulty stereo. Till I had a friend start using their S7 in my car and they didn't have this issue. Took me awhile to realize it wasn't happening on their phone. So that ruled out a faulty stereo. I'm just happy someone else also has the issue and it's not just me.
Anyway, LG will not be fixing this issue anytime soon.
LG devices I've had this issue with. (It got worse with each release... So sad)

V20

I listen to a lot of music everyday and I haven't had this problem. I listen to music on SD card, Pandora, DoubleTwist Cloud player, wired headphones and bluetooth. I wonder if it's some other app causing it. On bluetooth the music stops playing when i get text or email so maybe another app is somehow cutting the sound or something. I don't know, very strange.

That's a shame that LG won't fix the problem. So what exactly is causing the audio problems with players like Poweramp and Player Pro? I installed the Poweramp V3 alpha and it doesn't have the problem. I tried PlayerPro and it has the problem. Really sucks a high end phone can't play high end audio apps. the verizon guy at the store i went to and exchanged my phone over this issue told me the maybe poweramp runs too fast for the phone. or it's my memory card. but how can poweramp run too fast for the phone it's a high end phone for petes sakes. and the new phone was the same with the issue.

From what I've gathered over the years of researching this issue is that the audio codec that LG uses and has used for most their phones may be the root cause. That an update could fix it but it doesn't seem to be on LGs priority list. This issue is also very hard to find. This is literally the only article that discusses it with as much detail as everyone has provided. Everything else I find ends with a deadend after one post. As if nobody else notices or cares.
There has got to be a place we can let them know and with enough people maybe they will finally do something about it.

It's a shame this topic runs into dead ends. With the popularity of Poweramp and PlayerPro i'm surprised more people aren't complaining and discussing it. unless people are doing mostly streaming. I know very little people that have mp3's these days. I don't know anyone that even knows Poweramp. even the tech support over the phone or the guy in the store never heard of it. and when i had problems in the past with a old motorola razr HD the tech support blamed poweramp saying that the phone must not support it.

I forgot to mention two weeks ago the when playing music with Poweramp the left channel started cutting out off and on for 10 mins then eventually going out altogether till i unplugged the headphones and plugged back in. only did it that one occasion till today. now i'm driving out of town and it's not ideal to keep unplugging the aux cable while driving on the highway. The left channel kept going off again. I tried both PlayerPro and Poweramp. eventually it stopped on it's own. anyone else having this awful problem? I"m not buying LG again. they can't their quality control straight for nothing. so much for giving them a try.

What music players do you guys use for the LG G6 that doesn't have the audio cutting out or skipping that is comparable to Poweramp? I was considering Player Pro but it has the same problem. i tried JetAudio Music Player but the highs sound muffled without one of the audio enhancers you have to pay extra for. I don't like the idea of buying an app and then having to pay extra for other features when other apps have it included for free.

I'm still having this problem with the audio cutting out completely on the left channel from the headphone jack. it only did it on one occasion with my headphones. But it happens almost every time i use it with my car stereo or in someone else's car on his stereo. so i know it isn't my aux cable or my stereo. i never had this problem before. i am disappointed with LG and they're hopeless for giving us an update for all these problems. I can't wait to switch to something else but i have to wait at least a year to be able to trade in my phone for another on Verizon Edge.
Also still having the problems with the audio cutting out for a split second with PlayerPro. with the PowerAmp 3 alpha 704 i got the settings tweaked and i don't notice the problem anymore. But still have the headphone jack/aux cable sound issue. is there any tweak that could possibly fix it? is the DAC getting overloaded causing the left channel to quit working?

No issues at all here. Had no issues with my V10 either for what its worth. Streaming Spotify and Tidal all the time. Sound has not clipped one single time.

Only time I see this issue is when I'm connected to multiple Bluetooth devices and one of them disconnects.

Sound out of sync with video.

Anyone experience the audio/video being out of sync WITH THE BUILT IN SPEAKER? I understand that on some bluetooth there could be a slight delay but I am talking about the phone's built in speaker here. I use BT speakers as well but I haven't noticed any delay with bluetooth speakers.
My phone is all stock with the latest update. This happens when I am watching a video form Youtube or facebook. The delay can range from half sec to 3 sec delay. Even if I close the app and re-launch it, the delay will still be there. The only way to fix this is if I reboot the phone. I watch video almost every day on this phone and half of the time I am using just the stock speaker. This would happen once every week or two.
Anyone experienced this?

If you have Viper4Android. Try turning it off. Worked for me.

Same here, in Facebook and YouTube.
Yeah I have the same issue here. If I restart the video, it plays in sync for a couple of seconds after which the video pauses for a second making the audio lead.

I never downloaded that app.

crackling on bluetooth streaming, newest Joying JY-UOS04P4 8.0 4GB/32GB

Hello all
I was wondering if anyone has this head unit, Joying 6.2 Inch Single Din Car Radio Android 8 Oreo 4GBRAM 1 Din Touch Screen Audio System, I just installed it. (sorry can't post link)
Many things seem to work ok, but when streaming from the audio player from my iphone 6s+ 11.3ios, it crackles predictably at various parts in a song. For instance, one song, which plays cleanly on my subaru stock hu, crackles crazily at exactly 15 seconds in. I actually suspected the audio file. Other audio files stop playing within a few seconds.
This is pretty disappointing, this is one of the main functions of this HU for me. I am looking into updates, but I bought an Oreo HU with the hopes the OS would have stable functions of at least the most used functions. Just wondering if anyone out there is experiencing this type of thing on 8.0 with the joying 4GB versions. Thanks

Did you ever get this sorted out I am looking at the same unit

I think so. It looks like the problem was playing media I did not have fully downloaded. So the player was making itunes download the media I own from itunes but didn’t have fully downloaded. While it was doing that, it was hitting bluetooth and wifi pretty hard and I heard cracking and stopping.
Streaming media that lives on the device worked fine. Spotify for some reason did not do this, so this was probably something to do with apple IMO. I am enjoying this head unit except for how light it is in full sun, its in an open top car.

thanks for letting me know. I have now ordered one.
