HTC EVO 4G :: Sound Stops Working After A Short Amount Of Time?
Jul 20, 2010
I downloaded an application named Todderlock so my children could just meddle around with my phone while they sat in my lap. However, the sound stops working after a non-specific amount of "dings" when either tapping the shapes around the screen, or when dragging your finger along the screen to make the same type of noise, but much more rapidly.
Thinking this was an application problem, I had my wife download Todderlock on her HTC Hero, and the sound works without issue.
So, I shrugged that off and went looking for other neat applications to download...I downloaded Bug Squash I, II and III and they all suffer from the same problem: after squishing X amount of bugs, the SFX stop (the music continues however), and I have to restart the application to enjoy the sound for as long as it lasts.
I was getting suspicious, so I loaded up Robo Defense FREE and the same thing happens when the turrets are firing...after X amount of shots fired, all sound ceases to work.
I have not been able to find a similar problem with the HTC Evo on Google or here on the Android forums, considering my wife's Hero works without issue on all the sound issues I am having.
As far as I know, phone notifications and ringers continue to work after the application has "disabled" the sound. I have not reset the phone to factory settings or anything, but I have restarted the phone itself numerous times, and the problem still persists.

I have this task: Need to play short (0.3-0.4 sec) sounds all the time. When sound is played, it should start again, etc. User can press button to reset sound - it should stop and lunch.
I did many tests. I tried to create 1 MediaPlayer, then do this: MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener complListener = new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener; code...
It works great on emulator and on device if I have eclipse+debugger on. When I disconnect debugger, I have very strange errors - sound can stop at all (till program restart), sound can start "repeating" (play 0.1-0.2 sec, then restart). Can someone please provide me some info about problem?

I'm new to Android and have the Nexus 4. I have a question about a music timer. I'm playing/streaming my music through Google Play Music. Is there a way to make it stop playing after a set amount of time, say 1 hour? I can't find a way to make it do that. I bought automate it pro but setting up the rules didn't quite work like I thought.

I have a looping animation I want to present for an image button before a static image is used; on each button press. Is there a way to run this animation for around 2000 milliseconds then switch over to the image. What I have tried just results in a pause then the static image. code...

I'm using the SoundPool to play a series of small audio clips and am having issues with the audio when it starts. I have the audio attached to a button press. When I press the button mulitple times the tick persists. I was wondering if this was the audio file itself or is there something I need to do differently with the SoundPool other than play simply play the clip. These are .ogg files I created using Audacity. When I play them in my dekstop media player, they sound fine.

I got the fantastic Desire friday and I'm really enjoying it so far coming from iPhone and Hero.
Unfortunately I've run into a little issue: Up time and awake time (in Settings>About phone>Battery) are almost the same, meaning that the CPU never correctly throttles down when the phone is asleep. This is causing battery life to be rather short - On average I get 10-15 hours out of the phone with moderate settings.
By going to the battery info console (type *#*#4636#*#* in dialer) I managed to figure out that the calendar in some way is running and preventing the phone from sleeping (Partial wake in top dropdown). I did a factory reset and it hasn't seemed to help. There are 2 calendar related apps running: Obexservice and connectivityservice.

Can I alter the time it takes for the screen to lock? At the moment it's just 5 seconds or so, I can't do anything before I have to unlock again.

One thing I've noticed with my HTC Hero (Sprint) is that I have a very short period of time to answer an incoming call before the caller is directed to voice mail. When I do answer the phone people are routinely telling me that it rang 4 or more times before I answered even though, from my perspective, I answered it rather quickly. Could this have something to do with using downloaded ringtones? Perhaps, while the phone should be ringing, instead, it is loading the ringtone off the sdcard.

It has NOT been this way from the beginning. When I am listening to music or playing a game, the sound will stop after a notification sound. If the screen is off like when I am playing music, then pushing the power button will start the sound again when the screen comes on.

Why does my MediaPlayer
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.somemusic); mp.setLooping(true); mp.start();
stop, wenn I change the layout?
setContentView(R.layout.screenoptions);
and also suddenly in my game, the sound stops. What could be the reason?
And which one is better? MediaPlayer or SoundPool?

As mentioned audio stops after some random number of times when played from either Music/Video player. After some debugging, I found that the problem is:
In "android_audio_output.cpp"->audout_thread_func() there is a call to wait(iAudioThreadSem->Wait()) just before the while(1) and it is waiting indefinitely for something.
Can anybody tell me what is it waiting for and why is it not able to come out? From what I can understand, it is waiting for a signal (semaphore) but where is it expecting a signal from?

I'm not sure if this is an android problem, or a samsung i9000 problem, but either way it's an annoying problem that I'd love to find a solution for ?_? I simply cant get the alarm to work for me (overnight. it's fine in the very short term). It appears to be because the clock stops moving/updating when the phone goes to sleep, because when I turn the screen back on I can see that the time is off by multiple hours, depending upon when it stopped updating, and stays that way for a couple of seconds before changing to the correct time.
Things to note here..
I do NOT use a task killer
The alarm volume is up
I have tried the alarm both with and without the Automatic, network provided time setting. The clock still stops moving. I've not updated anything from the standard (UK) firmware

I've setup email on my hero in the mail app. It works fine for a couple of days and then suddenly it just stops working. I've tried it with a yahoo account and a gmail account in the mail app and both do the same thing. Using the gmail account I have set it up so its using exchange server. It works fine for a couple of days, it pushes email to my hero fine but then after a couple of days it will stop working. Even if i click the refresh icon it wont retrieve my email. I have to delete the account and set it up again to get it working again.Why is this happening? Obviously the settings are correct otherwise it wouldn't work for the first couple of days and then stop. Help really appreciated as this is the only issue i am having with the phone now.

Ever since the latest OTA update, the 3G on my Eris just stops working when I wake it up. The 3G icon at the top tool bar disappears even though the Mobile Widget I have on one of my screens says that it's on. So what I have to do is toggle the Mobile Widget to turn 3G off then on again. But oh wait, sometimes the Mobile Widget doesn't even respond so I have to go to settings and turn off then on the 3G. This is really annoying and this happens with my aunt's Droid Eris too. Any ideas on what my aunt and I should do?

Whenever possible I always use the landscape keyboard but have noticed that sometimes in messages (and web browser) that if I spot a mistake and use the trackpad or touch the screen to go back and correct whatever I type on the keyboard will not appear in the text. The keyboard still responds as you can see the popups for the keys when you press them but the text doe not go into the box. The only way I found to cure this is to close and reopen the keyboard and everything then starts working. I am running the recent OTA firmware update on a completely unrooted unbranded Desire.

Has anyone else noticed that on the Galaxy S, the Wifi will stop to respond after a few disconnects? I usually have wifi off to save battery, but now and then some application will turn it on and after I stop it (either using the message bar or settings) the wifi stops working. Under settings it will be greyed out and say something like "Shutting down..." but you cannot click it again, turn it on or anything else. A reboot works but thats kind of annoying.

I'm using Eclipse and the Android SDK for Linux. When I start my emulator at the beginning of the day it works fine. Later in the day it's sluggish and still later it won't start at all. This computer runs Debian linux, the testing branch, with 1Gig memory and a two 1.6 Ghz processors. On another machine I have, the emulator works the same at the beginning and end of the day.
It has 500M ram and a single 1.6 Ghz processor. As it turns out I cannot use the second machine for all my daily tasks. How can I get the first machine to work? Is it the number of processors? I cannot figure out how to disable a processor in the emulator. I was looking at the '-qemu' options, but none seems to do the trick. I don't understand the qemu options that well.

I have a ListView which has a TextView in the row. The TextView has been Linkified and has had setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()) set on it.
The ListView is no longer selectable and the ListView's getSelectedItemPosition() always return -1 .
Is there a way to know where the ListView has scrolled to in this case?

With the new version, every 2-3 days my Swype keyboard stops working. I can type normally (pushing individual letters), but swyping doesn't work.
If I re-install, it will work again, but only for a few days. I always install after killing tasks/widgets like it says, but hasn't helped the longer-term problem.

LG Nexus 5. For the 2nd time in a month my Swiftkey (paid version) has stopped working. Grrr. The only way I could get it working again was uninstall and reinstall. Nothing else worked. I sent a support request to Swiftkey on this (no response yet). Any way to prevent it?

I have Huawei u8600 sonic rooted and with Cyanogen 9 ROM for this phone. Everything is working fine, but I noticed that sometimes my phone just doesn't find SD card. After reboot it works fine again for a while, but after an hour or two it happens again. There is no message about SD card being removed or something, it just disappears. I have most of my apps moved to SD card, so this really annoys me, because without SD card I can't use most of my phone's programs.

Since a few month my WiFi does not work properly. When I activate it, it automatically connects to the access point. But after 3 minutes, the connection stops working. The WiFi symbol in the status bar disappears and 3g starts working. When i disable and reenable wifi everything works fine again for 3 minutes. I already tried a static IP. Other devices (laptop) have no problems with the same network.

This morning my camera and video camera would open and then immediately close down. I shut the phone down and rebooted. Camera still did not open. Next, I shutdown the phone and removed the battery. After a few moments, I reinstalled the battery and rebooted. The camera still would not open. I had to do other work, so I just set the phone aside for a few hours. When I came back, I tried the camera again and after a short pause it opened, but not as smoothly as in the past. It is still not opening as it should. First it displays a very quick view of the desktop with an error message. It goes too fast for me to read and then it opens the camera app.

I just got the 1.6 download and found out my ADC2 app is not working anymore. Works fine on 1.5 but people with 1.6 can't log in. Guess that explains the sudden drop in new accounts being created (We got around 70 testers before numbers plummeted to 5 to 6 over the weekend). :( If Google planned to release 1.6 in the middle of a contest, they should have informed developers and given them the tools to test their app on this platform. We spent months on creating a high quality app for this contest and now people can't even judge it! There are probably hundreds of other developers that spent sleepless nights working their butt off to finish before the deadline just to have their chances decimated by google. All I can say is that I'm extremely disappointed in the way Google has handled this entire contest and I think it is extremely unfair and inconsiderate the way they are treating developers that they are supposed to be attracting to the Android platform.

I have an application which starts a service. The service has a timer and pops a notification every 30 seconds. I notice the following behavior: if the screen is on the notifications are shown ok (even if the app is in background). if the screen is off (by power button or by itself) the notifications won't show. if the screen is off but I have the debugging running the notifications appear. How can I make the service run with the screen off. (The actual app only checks if a notification should be checked every 30 seconds, but for testing purposes, the above scenario is ok)

Let me preface I love this app and am not really complaining, just have something that has come up. Anyone else experience it dropping the internet connection or wifi after about an hour? It works great up to that point and doesn't show an error or anything but it just stops communicating. I have to stop tethering and start tethering and its back up again. Its not a huge issue, just something that I would resolve if I could. It was happening on pre9 but I upgraded to pre13 and it still happens. Im on Myns RLS3 with Netarchy 4191bfs kernel but it was doing it on the stock HTC #10 kernel that came with Myns.
