[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IEatKittys!:
I've had a problem with my headphones. I listen to music on my way to work on the Subway and with every little movement the music stops. Like if the headphone was unplugged. Ive tried the headphones on my pc and it works just fine. another thing is that if you move the headphone jack a certain way the LG Voice thingy pops up. Thinking about going in for an exchange.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrettej8:
This issue with the aux cable is extremely disappointing. What I'm curious about is why when I plug in my headphones (decent set and they require an amp to get decent sound) directly into my phone I get a picture of headphones in the notification bar (and they work) but when I plug in my aux cable for the amp that my headphones use I get a different icon (a headphone jack with a wire underneath it) and it fails to work, the icon just goes away after a few seconds.

How does the phone know the difference between the two jacks? aren't they physically the same? when is this going to get fixed? it definitely seems like a software bug like others are saying. Either way, this **** is unacceptable.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquariuz23:
relax, every new feature that gets released on a phone may experience some kind of bugs. This is just one of those bugs that they may have missed (albeit a pretty big one). I read somewhere back when the phone was rumored to be released that it has a special DAC (digital to analogue converter) or some advanced audio processing unit that enhances audio quality from the phone. If this is true, then it is the very reason why the phone can detect the difference between a regular headset and an auxiliary connector. Just like in a computer, when you plug in your headset to the pc, it detects it as a headset, but when you plug in a set of powered speakers, the pc detects it as a speaker.

Hey guys and gals,

can you guys all do me a favor and head to my other thread when you have a chance. I'm making a list of cars and its head unit that is either compatible or not with the G3 from the get go. Please support it by providing your answers so I can populate the list. Even though it's in the T-Mobile subforum, feel free to submit your answers no matter what model of G3 you have and what carrier you're on.

I know this is the G3 thread but as a M8 user who recently bought a G3 and returned it because of this very problem, I thought I'd chuck my experience in - especially as Inow have this exact same problem on my HTC One M8 - Which makes me think this is a software issue.

Aux Problem

Im having similar issues. My issue is, When im listening to music on an Aux Cable, Not Headphones, and I use the phone to browse and use twitter and what not while playing music, the Voice Command Microphone thing comes up at various times Asking me "What Can I do for you?". Ive almost broke the phone in half because of this. Has anyone else experianced this issue? I have been through settings and tried to shut this annoying ***** off and she is turned off everywhere I look. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquariuz23:
Is your G3 rooted? If so, install titanium backup and try freezing LG VoiceCommand SpeechPack, and see if that solves your problem. I had a similar problem but when I plug in my aux line, and after freezing that, it has never popped up again.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxxes:
I too have the AUX problem although to be clear my deivce connects fine to the car AUX it is just the horrible static and loud popping sound i get between tracks and when the music stops.

I did find something interesting though!

If you play music through one music player app (stock music app for example) and then go to another music player app (i used rocket player app) the popping sound will dissapear but only for about 10 seconds. You can skip tracks no problem with no popping sounds but after the 10 seconds it will go back to the horrible popping?

Bleh

Here is the proof that LG do not care - they surely know all about this issue, yet this is the best I have after nearly a month waiting for some reply from their "customer service":

"Hi meherenow,

Firstly we would like to apologise in the delay it has taken us to get back to you on this one. We think the best course of action is to book the handset in for repair instead of going round in circles testing and trying different things. So as long as your happy to go ahead with it we would need the following details:

-Your full address

-Contact Number

-IMEI No

-S/N No

-Retailer

-Date of purchase

-Any physical or liquid damage.

If you could reply to this email with those details we can then get the handset booked in for a repair and get the issue resolved for you. We look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

WTF! Of course I'm not gonna send my handset to them, what good would that do? What are they going to do, take my phone to bits and solder on the 3.5mm jack properly (I'd like to think I'm kidding here!?). I'm on my third handset and it's still the same. Good luck everybody if this is the best they can offer!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kc3:
I have the same issue but I can't really return the phone as I work for sprint and it was given to me (not that I would anyway, I'm used to dealing with bugs) however I tried the soundabout app and that did not help at all. I noticed that with the same cable I could not get my phone to detect it for extended periods unless charging, however when I tried this in my car the charging made no difference. The playback only works fine when I'm already playing music and plug my device in, however as I'm streaming and don't exactly live in a 4g area as soon as it has to stop playing to load the next song my device disconnects.

A part of me wants to try an isolator, a part of me wants to say screw it and just get a bluetooth dongle.

Obviously your experience may vary however before everyone runs out to get cheap cables, I tried going to loaf 'n jug and bought probably the cheapest crappiest cable I've ever bought and it didn't work :/ I just ordered an isolator and hopefully that'll work.

However, the problem still exists when playing MP3 files, every song change my left speaker farts.

I'm on my third replacement handset, might as well keep a hold of it for a while, UK law allows me up to six months before I have to prove any fault, so I hope they can fix it in the next update.

LG G3 - Telenor Norway - Latest Software updates - Stock Apps.

I have the same issues with the AUX cable! However after i bought a cable for 249NOK (cca, $30) i saw the same happening again.

And again ... and again ... and again ... sometimes works - then stops working ... again and again ...

Now what i want to try tomorrow is:

I have a headset with removable cable. On both ends jack. If i insert it into the phone sees it as headphones ... the i can unplug the other end from the headset and insert it into the AUX in the car stereo.

Has anyone tried this ? Any luck ?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephr0n:
Good news everyone

Hi G3 peeps,

I found a workaround for the aux disconnection and sound popping between tracks. I installed PowerAmp and tweaked some settings. (sorry no direct link, as I am still under 10 posts: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer)

First the aux disconnection issue:

- In PowerAmp Settings > Misc > Tweaks there is an option to Disable Route Output Button. I enabled this and now after plugging in an aux cable it "freaks out" (connects and drops and reconnects) for about a second and then detects my aux connection as headphones and plays without issue.

Secondly the sound popping between tracks:

- In PowerAmp Settings as well, I enabled crossfading and gapless playback, Settings > Audio > Fade, Crossfade and Gapless. I enabled Fade play/pause/stop, Fade on seek and Cut Silence. This prevents the phone from cutting the audio when nothing is playing.

I only used PowerAmp because it was the first app I found with the crossfading options and Disabling the Route Option was a bonus find.

Disclaimer: I don't work for the PowerAmp developers and PowerAmp only has a free 2 week trial after which you will need to purchase the app. I thought I would just share my workaround to the rest of the G3 community. If anyone knows of another app that can provide the above settings please share it with us.

Happy aux listening! :laugh:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyeatman:
I have a G3 and I get the problem of Voice Mate sporadically popping up when the phone is in line out mode, along with a low level of noise present in the audio output.

I have V10g software.

Headphones work fine, just like the vast majority of G3 owners.

Here's my take:

A headphone output should connect to headphones and line out should connect to line in.

Most phones make do with a headphone output for connecting to both headphones or line in. This generally works but is not optimal. The G3 tries to be better by its output automatically (probably by detecting impedance) switching between the headphone output and line out depending on what's connected to it. This might be for sound quality / volume level reasons or to save power when in line out mode. There is a problem in execution of the line out mode. This manifests itself in any of 4 (or more) ways:

1. No output or intermittent output

2. Static bursts between tracks

3. Generally reduced / noisy sound quality

4. Voice Mate sporadically launches and interrupts audio playback

Here's a little tech info on line out / headphones that I found:

"Line level outputs typically have a source impedance of 50 to a few hundred ohms. They are intended to drive loads that have a high input impedance, usually greater than 5k ohms. They are typically optimized for very low noise and low distortion when used with high impedance loads.

Headphone outputs typically have a source impedance less than a hundred ohms and the better ones have a source impedance of a few ohms or less. They are intended to drive the lower impedances presented by headphones which typically range from 16 ohms to 300 ohms. They are optimized for being able to drive higher current and for delivering reasonable distortion and noise with low impedance loads.

Line level outputs usually do poorly when driving headphones because their higher source impedance will not properly damp the driver at low frequencies and they can suffer from high frequency rollof when loaded with significant capacitance.

Headphone outputs can be used to drive line level loads and can provide good noise and distortion performance but are typically not as good as line level outputs."

Guys,

I have the D855 since 2 weeks and I noticed that I have the same issue with my bose QC15 headset.

Let me share two inputs with you and the community :

1/ I don't have the same big sound in the left speaker between song since I use the POWERAMP player.

I think this is because this player uses a kind of fade out / fade in process between tracks so there is always some sound going to the speakers.

2/ I noticed that the headset is better detected (80% of the case but not always working) when by following this process :

a- ensure that the Noise reduction is switched off (button on the right speaker)

b- plug the jack into the phone

c- start player and lauch a song

d- switch on the noise resduction.

I hope that can help.

Camera in BA is poor, but its ONLY for MMS, so Ppcnut, dont treat it so badly.

Curiously, before take picture, preview quality is good, (in BA) but after shoot the photo, quality decrease as though ISO goes VeryHigh to create undesirable effects.

To result from that, video recording is very good, only 15fps, but quality is good.

So maybe cam drivers can resolve that problem?
