Hi Sharon,

Even i face the same issue. I am using Crashrom v8.2

I came across a solution for this issue in a different forum today and seems to work.

"when you playing music and if you use one of the buttons on the headphone piece you get a nasty wakelock called "HandleMediaEvent"."

I have used the phone today, and haven't pressed the buttons on my headphone (klipsch s4a) and i don't hv the wakelock and battery life is awesome!!

Please try the same and let me know if it works. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharon1122:
Thanks :D look like its working for now! i hope samsung will fix it soon...ill update if i got more problems...

Hi Sharon

I'm having the same issue and I don't use headphone. I'm on PhoeniX ROM 8.1. Seems right now that the only workaround is to Power OFF/ON the device... a simple reboot is not getting rid of it. What puzzles me is that I've been using this ROM for quite some time and starting getting this wakelock drain around 2 weeks ago (when you first report it :()
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhonin86:
No solution so far

Hi and SRY to bumpUp such an old entry - but i'm still fighting with this permanent WakeLock called handlemediaevent.

As far as i found out it is related to controlling events over bluetooth - no matter if it is a bluetooth-headset with buttons or a cars bt radio with touchscreen buttons. I just found some posts around this topic and posted it on different places - and for now it seems to be grounded in the android system itself - not in the hardware nor in a special ROM. I experienced this issue on my SGS+ with different ROMs and also on my new toy Xperia Z3c.

Here are the related posts/links:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/100931-m11-connecting-to-car-bluetooth-gives-endless-handlemediaevent-wakelock/

https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Compact/Permanent-Wakelock-quot-handleMediaEvent-quot/td-p/868029

So to sum it up:

This issue is not related to a special Phone

This issue is not relatted to a special ROM

Therefore it must be something general in KitKat which is not fixed up to 4.4.4 - Are there more infos about where to place this issue or is waiting for lollipop the only way to get rid of this annoying wakelock.

Tips and infos are highly appreciated

THX in advance

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fthiery:
Same here. I confirm It seems to be in a cross-device Android issue: I had it on my i9100 (GS2) under CM11-M12 (final version), and it also seems to happen on the latest stock Xperia Z3 Compact firmware.

I am not too sure of it being bluetooth-only, because i have the issue using a Sennheiser MM70s wired headset (also tested with the Sony stock handsfree headset).

To reproduce,

launch a button-enabled sound/music app, like Podcast Addict (in my case)

plug a headset with physical button, or maybe a bluetooth headset

use the headset button to pause playback (normally, the phone should enter deep sleep)

from now on, the handleMediaEvent wakelock is active and won't go away unless you reboot (a soft reboot works), whether you disconnect the headset or not

I did'nt root my Xperia Z3 compact (yet), so i can't confirm that's the exact same wakelock, but it certainly looks to be preventing the device from entering deep sleep as well (the bottom blue line below the battery usage overview which describes "activity").

Thankfully, this does not seem to happen with Apollo, Youtube, or Sony's stock Walkman app, only with third party audio apps like Podcast Addict (whose developer claims that nothing can be done on his side as his app is already releasing the wakelock properly).

Xperia (in red, after pausing playback using the headset button):

Rooted i9100:

I would suggest that some admin renames the post to remove the reference to Galaxy S4 in the title, so that this thread could be used as a reference to this genuine, generic issue.

My best guess right now is that some apps may not have implemented the wakelocks release perfectly (i believe, in my case, PodcastAddict since i could not find any other app triggering the problem), so could any other users having the problem cite the apps that they are using when the problem arises ?

My best hope is that Lollipop fixes it: is such an un-released wakelock something that the Android system should tolerate for such a long period of time ? This may be fixed by e.g. implementing some per-Wakelock timeout.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dim^n:
I think this wakelock caused by user apps too. & not only, the first reason - bugs in AICP on my Xperia M, on which some apps works not always as they should, and then caused that annoying wakelock after more than 12 hours of usage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otis_bartleh:
You guys seem right on the money when it comes to audio over Bluetooth. After playing music over Bluetooth in my car, if I use my stereo to change tracks, I get that wakelock... (I wonder if it happens if I change tracks from the phone...) I'm on a rooted, stock rom Xperia Z3 compact.

Good thing the battery on this thing is so good, and it reboots so fast it's not gonna drive me crazy now that I know what it is... 8 hours of that wakelock and I've still got 35% 2 days in, and a bunch of calls and use.. Just noticed and narrowed down the problem and found this post...

And I use the Dsub app for my subsonic server. Not sure if it happens with Pandora too...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinedoc:
I just installed this and it looks very cool, but it's pretty overwhelming. Any suggestions for which .IRS files work well with headset, speaker, and bluetooth headset? For bluetooth headset I've also got my regular mono one for phone calls, and I have a stereo bluetooth one from Jaybird so I'd assume they use different settings. Speaking of, what do you guys put the settings at as well.

I looked a bit at the Viper4android thread, but it's like 700 pages long.

Before you get you A$$ handed to you for not following the rules i will spare you the moment of humility and provide you with this since i was stuck in the same situation you were but simply went to google and entered "Viper4android settings" and stumbled upon this which HELPED me!!!!!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinedoc:
Oh, I didn't realize I was breaking a rule. You mean we can't discuss optimal settings for an app for our phones? The only rule I see that might be loosely tied is using search, but I have searched. I have searched and am aware of the main 700 page thread, and also the English viper website, none of these have users discussing the G2 specifically. I'd rather avoid that 700+ page thread since I am specifically asking about the G2 in the G2 forums and what settings work well for others.

Just to repeat, I'm not looking on how to get the program to run or install it, I am looking for other G2 owners feedback on which particular modes worked well for them. I thought it might be a nice discussion.

If I'm breaking the rules please delete my thread then, my apologies.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linjes:
Moving on..

I don't use the bluetooth headset so I can't help you on that.

But for the headset, I realised that using the xHifi setting under clarity gives quite a little whitenoise. But not using makes your music sound muffled , so I guess it's a trade off(unless you know how to configure the IRS files). I am using my mid range sennheiser CX-300II without any IRS filters, cos none of them work well. You could try loading everything into the folder and going through them 1 by 1, or even making the file which is rather tedious. I couldn't be bothered, the playbackgain control and dynamic system is enough for me.

If you plug your phone into powerful speakers (I have a bose 321 but damn those things make the windows shake) you MUST turn off the VIPER bass and reduce the dynamic bass to ~15%. Differential surround(Haas effect) makes the sound sound off center on speakers so avoid it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickmage:
I noticed G2 doesn't have music effect setting, am i suppose to assume that viper is on?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linjes:
No it's not that simple. What I did was:

1. Install the drivers

2. Backup build.prop then change the lines specified in the main thread for Viper

3. Install google play(doesn't work on stock LG player for me)

3b. (unsure if really necessary) Disable stock LG player

4. Reboot

5. Wait for boot to complete and see all the superSU permission flashing...

6. Play something, then go into viper, enable the first option on the speaker tab and check the "driver status". It should say that it is installed/normal, that it is enabled and that it is processing. To really be sure go play around with the settings but be careful with the gain (don't ramp it sky high and drop your phone in shock)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
I just installed the app and it does all the necessary things for you. But still, Viper4Android sucks for our phone. The driver it installs significantly lowers the audio quality. With a huge amount of tweaking you can finally get the quality back up to where the G2 is at stock. Everyone is better off not using this mod for the G2 unless the author gets a much better audio driver designed for our chipset
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danial.aw:
check out the V4A audio profiles... it gives a great shares from people on settings... try them and check out the one you prefer
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinedoc:
Yeah I don't know how happy I am with this app yet. I can get stuff louder, but I hear more distortion, but I have to play around a bit. One odd thing is that different things have different volumes after installing this. For example, my speaker phone when in a call is nice and loud, but when checking voicemail it is very quiet, kind of odd and I can't figure out how to selectively fix these things so I may be forced to uninstall.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
I think you guys really don't know what you're taking about. The clarity viper adds to the sound on both my stereo and my headphones is absolutely unreal. After having set up viper, I think the biggest flaw of a stock g2 might be the dull und muffled sound it transfers to proper speakers.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Think what you want but the drivers this uses noticeably took away from clarity in all aspects of the sound. Every speaker setup can sound different so maybe this type of sound just works better for you, my high end systems though it definitely takes a lot away from the audio
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinedoc:
That's good news to me. Can you post up exactly what settings, .irs files,etc you have? I'd be most interested in phone-speaker settings, but I wouldn't mind just piggybacking off you since you say you have such stellar results.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
neither am I nore do I have a high end soundsystem so I don't notice the difference to the worse. Who listens to anything on a high end soundsystem through a phone?

On my dynavoice speakers and my b&w headphones my music gets several different new dimensions using viper, regardless of the code of the driver.

Edit: of course every setup and every set of ears gets different subjective results. But it's so obvious that the sound is so much better with viper ;)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raph6280:
I have the problem that all Apps like System-UI etc. are crashing after Installing the Vanir ROM for my Google Nexus 7 3G (tilapia). I can't use the ROM because there are so many error messages, but i can see through to the homescreen and i like the semi-transparent Navigation Bar and the ROM should be extreme fast :silly:

The ROM-Version i've used is "vanir_tilapia_4.3.1.101313" and i also have flashed the latest GApps package in TWRP, but i also tried it with CWM.

First i wiped /data only then installed the ROM from sdcard but also with sideload, without success, then i tried to wipe /data, /system, /dalvik and /cache also: all the apps on my Nexus 7 3G are crashing.

PS: I have also tried several other Kernels.

ADB logcat gives error messages like:

I/ServiceManager( 131): service 'activity' died

Anybody there who has a Nexus 7 3G (tilapia) with working Vanir ROM, or am I the only one who can't boot this Device with this ROM?

Scroll down to:

Manual system update instructions:

Follow the instructions to download HTC Sync Manager to your pc.

download the file at the bottom of the page. (download, in green font)

that is the Ruu.exe that you will run on your pc and will walk you through the update process.

It will delete all information from the device. (bye bye pictures, videos, music) save those to your pc before hand if your are able.
[HTC One S] Rana747:
Sorry i should have mentioned that am not from US and i have the international version of one S.. now please dont tell me there is no hope for this version.. plus does ruu requires a rooted device?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
No, it doesn't require a rooted device.

If you go to HTC website does it offer you a similar manual update solution for you?

Since your phone is new, I am directing you to HTC website because that way you will not void your warrantee.

If you bought the phone from a local store I would go back there and show them what is happening. They will be able to correct the phone and if something goes wrong it is on them and not you.

If you bought it online, I would call support and have them try and help. Again that way you are able to return it if something is wrong.

Otherwise

http://www.androidruu.com/

you would need to know which version of the HTC One S you have (ville/ville C2)

And be able to match your CID to the correct RUU.exe

But I would not recommend that since your phone is brand new.
[HTC One S] Rana747:
I dont have any sort of warranty, purchased from a guy who does not even know what is android.

I just need jellybean. If u could explain this ruu method to me, am not a tech genious.

Thanks u have been helpful, i thought no one would even reply to this thread
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Ok,

Like you did before, go to bootloader and tell me what you have there.

What CID is your phone?

I'm thinking you have a S4 version of this phone as you stated your hboot was 1.13

And yes, you will be able to factory reset it after running a ruu.exe

Something like that one is a Jelly Bean and should have the languages for Europe

Basically you are wanting to download the file that end in EXE and not ZIP

where it start off with ruu ville u jb that will be a jellybean

ruu ville u ICS is a ice cream sandwich

So, to run the RUU, you need the drivers for your phone on your computer.

If you install HTC sync Manager from the HTC website it will install the drivers.

or

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217396&highlight=htc+driver

if you only want to install the driver

from there once you have downloaded a RUU.exe

have your phone in bootloader mode

plug your phone into PC

it should say fastboot USB (see in my picture it says HBOOT if you press power button it will enter into fastboot mode)

On your PC, double click the RUU.exe file and it will open up a installation dialogue to walk you through the rest.

Yeah, if you are all about running the various Custom ROMs that people have developed here you will be using boot.img and recovery.img to install particular ROMs.

But you don't need to worry about that right now.
