Jelly Bean Headphone Issues

I just got the jelly bean update today. Now, I have the following issue. If my headphones are plugged in and I listen to music with Google Play Music, the first song played is OK. However, when it switches to the second song, it begins to play out the phone speaker instead of the headphones. If I hit the skip to the next song button, it doesn't do have the issue. It only happens when I let it go onto the next song by itself.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

I experienced sounds issues as well after Jelly Bean. It even killed my battery life. I think it has to do with the latest Google Play Music and its gapless music that is causing the Media Server to go crazy. The Media Server handles sound from various apps. In my case, I saw Media Server was the second highest in battery consumption, and once I started some music, my volume keys would never control the ringer volume until a reboot, it would only control media sound.
I've since clear data and cache and uninstall all updates to Google Play Music. The app is still a little buggy I think, but no more sound and battery isssues. Hope this helps.

Jelly Bean Upgrade Issues

Hello. After receiving the Jelly Bean upgrade, my Nexus will not longer connect to WiFi. It doesn't matter if I'm at home, work or out for the night. The toggle will go to "on", but will stay gray and then time out. Also, the OS doesn't seem to be as fast. Is anyone having similiar issues? Is there a fix for this?

ClevBrowns1-
I'm sorry the wifi is not working properly since the update. I am able to use wifi on my Nexus like always. If you enable safe mode (steps http://bit.ly/OHgHtf) then try to use wifi, is it still an issue? Please keep me posted.
Thanks

Jelly Bean OS issues

I was one of the fortunate people that was able to get the Jelly Bean OS update in my Razr before it was pulled. Ever since then the bluetooth sharing has failed or so I've constantly received the notification saying it quit. Anyone else been receiving that?

1) After the upgrade, I have this every time I boot-up. "Unfortunately the process com.motorola.vzw.vmm has stopped".
2) Now I noticed that the hotmail account that was added some time ago is having sync problems. I tried deleting the account, but it won't let me.
This OS is such a great OS, too bad it got released early. I guess I'll put up with it since my phone is running so much smoother.

Jelly Bean Bluetooth issue

I got my JB update today and it works great except when I'm in my car (Infiniti G35 - 2007). The phone connects but the voice is all garbled. If i disconnect it from the car it works fine. I've read about folks on other networks with the same issue, anyone know if there's a fix. This is unusable this way.

Well that was short lived - got in my car again and no joy. It does sound like distortion. One thing I noticed is that changing the volume on the bluetooth from the phone side has no effect, I wonder if something in the JB update has messed with the ability to change volume via bluetooth and if everything is going out with maximum gain.

Droid Razr Jelly bean update issue

yesterday evening my Droid razr got JB update.
After update, the phone won't show up home screen, instead it is continuously loading the boot screen.
i had a VERY LONG CONVERSATION(almost 2hours) to VZW cust supp guy & these are the options he gave.
1) i need to buy (with my MONEY) new/recertified device to continue in the service
2) i need to do an early upgrade & buy new phone.
UNTIL YESTERDAY MY IS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE (with ICS) & VZW OTA update bricked my phone &
THEY WANT ME TO PAY /EXTEND MY CONTRACT BECAUSE OF THEIR MISTAKE.
& THE customer support guy blames Motorola & google for bad software update.
which is not true BECAUSE THE UPDATE IS A CUSTOMISED ANDROID OF VZW not motorola or Google.
BUT STILL HE SAID HE CAN'T DO ANY THING.
I NEVER EXPECTED THIS FROM VZW & TOTALLY ****** OFF.

yes, i can boot into recovery menu & can select recovery option.
but after i select recovery option, it will just show some dead green
android picture(whose stomach is open with stop/error symbol)
Thanks & Regards

Possible update solution for some Jelly Bean issues on Razr Maxx

I bought a Razr Maxx used two weeks ago and wanted to a post a possible solution to the broken Jelly Bean update. My Razr Maxx (practically new) was slow, lagged, and gave me about 10 hours of battery life. Also, my Wi-Fi was horrible just 10 feet from the wireless router and it ran hot.
Before I chucked it for a used S3 I decided to do what others had done. Keep in mind, the phone had been previously factory reset after the JB update had been OTA'ed to the unit a few months ago. It was put in a drawer as the person bought a new phone.
So to be clear: It had gone through a factory reset but without clearing internal memory and had serious issues. I had cleared the Dalvik cache but it didn't help. Here's what fixed my phone:
I did a battery recalibration. This can be done by running the phone down to zero. Shutting it off and charging it overnight. This may have to be performed twice.
Backed up my files, removed the mSD card and from the OS, erased the internal storage. I also went into the Settings / Privacy and set Automatic Restore to off.
I cleared the Dalvik Cache again.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-maxx/232462-how-wipe-cache-without-doing-factory-reset.html
I booted into safe mode.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=50079
From the OS within safe mode, I performed a factory reset and had it clear the internal storage again.
Started the setup process.
Cleared Dalvik Cache again.
The result is a smooth "buttery" feel (well, as smooth as this platform can offer) no massive lagging like before where the phone would just lock up for five seconds, no over heating, WiFi is seemingly normal and battery life is Maxx instead of Min. To give you an idea, the phone had been on light use and on for maybe 13 on battery when I did the reset. I did the hard reset from a 65% battery and reinstalled all the apps over WiFi and reconfigured. At 2:30 a.m. it was at 1 percent so I set the screen to 100% brightness and played a video until it died about 3 a.m. Basically the screen was on and the phone being used from around 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. after coming off the charger at 8 a.m. the previous morning.
Will this work for you? I don't know but I know the Jelly Bean in place upgrade on this phone is pretty flaky from the complaints.
If your phone has been turned into a pile of junk by the update, you have nothing left to lose unless you're just using it as a bargaining chit to get a new phone from VZW.
Good luck to anyone who tries it.
If you are trying to diagnose battery issues, I recommend GSAM.

Jelly Bean Issues - Phone Replaced??

Hey all!
I was caught up in the "oops" OTA of Jelly Bean on my Razr MAXX (around Christmas). I do NOT like the update. Battery life is less and several apps do not work as well, if at all. In surfing the 'net, there have been a few cases of people taking their phone into a Corporate Store and having it replaced with an ICS version. Anyone heard of this? Done this? Anyone from Verizon want to chime in?
Thanks so much!
Michael

ArnettH_VZW,
Did you all figure this out? This has happened to me at least 10 times in the past 2 months. I just got this phone in March of 2013. I hate waking up and finding my phone at the 4gLTE screen!!! Here is what I have been doing to troubleshoot it:
1.) Bought a new SanDisc 32GB card which they said will now be compatible with this phone. I haven't received the card yet and the phone still crashed so that is not the issue.
2.) Bought a new battery. It still locked up.
3.) Had Verizon give me a new Sim card. It still locked up.
4.) Used the phone without the memory card. It still locked up.
5.) Wiped the phone and only put Facebook & LinkedIn on the phone. It still locked up.
6.) Called Verizon and complained 3 times, each time I got a new phone (they were very accommodating). It's not the phone. It still locked up.
My wife has the EXACT same phone. We got it on the same day. Her's works fine. I really just don't get this. I have done everything possible to my knowledge and still the phone locks up. I have not rooted or messed with any of the developer options on the phone.
How does a phone randomly lock up on the 4G LTE screen when the phone has NOTHING on it! It's very hard to troubleshoot when the phone does this on it's own with no user action. Verizon doesn't even know how this is happening?
Could this be my gmail account? Could it be the auto-backup on the phone? I REALLY don't get it!
Any new thoughts on this????? No one can help me!

Jelly Bean Update - Vibration Issues

Since upgrading to Jelly Bean the other day, certain apps, like my Gmail and Facebook app, will vibrate when I receive a notification when the phone is in vibrate mode. I have both of these app notification settings to sound only, so when the phone is on vibrate, nothing should happen. It's very frustrating because I leave my phone on vibrate when I am at work for phone calls only, but now I have to keep it on silent so that it's not constantly going off. Is this a reported bug or something that will be fixed soon?

Jelly Bean Battery Drain Caused by Offline Music in Google Play Music

I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and upgraded to Jelly Bean (JRO03L.I535VRBLK3) on 12/14. I immediately experienced terrible battery life with media server being the second highest after the screen in battery consumption. I read a factory reset solved the problem for some, but it didn’t for me, and eventually, I think I found the source of the problem. Google Play Music and Media Server.
I was able to fix the problem by clearing all data (includes any offline music) and then uninstalling all updates to Google Play Music (v4.4.811H is the update I got rid of, I am now on v4.4.615.481147 which came with the JB update).
While on v4.4.811H, music would pause itself, no sound from headphone although visually everything is still playing, and would just stop responding all together. Once those things happened the phone must think it is still processing sound since the volume key continues to control the media volume and not the ring tone volume. The only way to get it back to normal would be a restart of the phone.
I'm not sure if this is a Jelly Bean issue or Google Play Music issue, either way, Verizon should look into it.

I have the same exact issue. I thought my battery life was a little worse after upgrading to Jelly Bean. Also, there have been multiple instances where Google Music has stopped playing my music after about 2-3 songs and when I try to skip to the next song, play, stop anything inside Google Music, it will not play any more songs. I have to go to the Task Manager and kill Google Music. Once I restart it, it seems to be fine for a while. It seems to play songs that I have on my local device (downloaded from Google Music) just fine, but only time will tell. This needs to be looked into right away; this is not acceptable.

Jelly Bean - Email AutoSync No Longer Works

I am at Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) on my stock Samsung Galaxy S3. Since the Jelly Bean upgrade, my e-mail will MANUALLY sync e-mails, but will no longer AUTOMATICALLY sync e-mails per the Peak/Off-Peak schedule for any of my e-mail accounts except for my Exchange account. I have tried:
Adjusting the Peak/Off-Peak schedules to several different times / schedules.
Changing the period to synch from 1 Month or 100 e-mails to 1 month.
Accessing the Email app via the Applications interface and clearing all data.Step above obviously necessitated re-entering all e-mail accounts.
I have confirmed that Settings>Email(under Accounts Header) shows a green synch icon beside all four of my non Exchange accounts.
I've been messing with this for a number of days now and I'm hitting a wall. This is not a menu-based configuration issue as far as I can tell AND it worked fine under ICS.
In case someone wants the information to diagnose, the non-exchange Accounts:
2 x @bellsouth.net (associated with my AT&T service, but hosted by yahoo.com service).
1 x @yahoo.com
1 x @gmail.com
My settings for synchronization (for all four accounts):
All days selected.
Peak schedule: Every Hour
Off-peak Schedule: Never
Peak start @ 7:00 AM
Peak end @ 10:00 PM
While Roaming: Use Above Settings.
Any suggestions? (Other than the usual default "Have you tried a factory reset" that would require me to spend a day trying to get everything set back up and is basically a support tree "I can't figure it out easily so let's make your life harder because I can't be bothered" type of solution.)

Mine started @ JB, but in trying to research the problem on my own - I can confirm your observation that people are reporting sync issues across multiple platforms / e-mail providers. What is weird about it is that on irregular occasions, one of my accounts will actually "sync." As an example since I wrote the original post - I did get notification of new emails in one of my accounts - I have purposely not been manually checking my accounts to see what is happening. Interestingly, When I look at Settings>Email, it shows all of my accounts having been sync'd at 10:00 AM. So what does that mean? Sync is partially working, but not consistently (e-mails from across 4 hours came in when it is set to sync hourly) and even within the phone the sync status isn't being displayed correctly. Something is clearly fubar'd I just don't know what. (thanks for the advice though)

Google Voice Won't Work With Bluetooth Headset After Jelly Bean

I am SO frustrated. I had no idea I was installing the Jelly Bean update when I updated the software on my phone. Note to Verizon Communications team: PLEASE do a better job of communicating significant software updates. I would not have installed Jelly Bean. I learned long ago to stick with factory OS on my phones.
Since the update, I noticed that I could no longer dictate texts and emails. Also, my call recording app no longer worked. I switched to Swype and it would work for a few minutes and then stop. I could still use my bluetooth headset to make calls and S voice worked (although, like others here, I noticed that it's now worse--it doesn't recognize any contact names I request anymore). After trolling Android forums I found that the problem is with the bluetooth headset. You can still dictate when the phone's bluetooth is on, but when a device is connected, all bets are off.
I almost did a factory reset, but then I read that a hard reset will not restore ICS, nor did it resolve this bluetooth Google Voice issue for the few people who tried it already. In fact, resetting caused more problems (eg., more battery drain and removal of Adobe Flash, etc.).
Does anyone know how I can go back to ICS? Bluetooth and Google Voice are the two features I value most in my phones. This is a NIGHTMARE.

rcschnoor -
The Bluetooth/Voice Search/Dictation issue is a valid issue for the OP, a valid issue for me and oh yeah, the hundreds of other people affected by the, "Google Voice Search stuck on "Initializing" bug filed here on the Google Android Project page. Here is yet another reference to the same issue from Android Central.
The "Google Music freezing after Jelly Bean Update on Galaxy S3" is also a valid and documented bug located here also on the Google Android Project page.
So I ask, how does sharing with these people that do have these issues, and are affected by them, that you are not experiencing these issues help in any way? Isn't that the whole purpose of a community forum to help others?

Problems after Jelly Bean upgrade

I upgraded to Jelly Bean when it came available and immediately started noticing problems. The phone became sluggish in general but most notably the keyboard lagged to the point where texting became problematic. I was unable to use the gallery app - it would open but pictures either wouldn't load or I couldn't scroll through them. The camera app also wouldn't scroll through my pictures. The web browser was sluggish even on a strong wi-fi connection. I did a factory reset twice and lost a ton of information in the process, in hopes the reset would clear things up. I ended up going to the store and the rep said he would have a new phone overnighted - which by the way, they gave me a used, sorry, a "certified like-new replacement" phone, not a new one.
Now that I have my replacement I'm reluctant to upgrade this one to Jelly Bean if I'm going to continue having problems. Are/were these just an isolated problem, perhaps something in the phone itself and not the software, or are these widespread issues that will hopefully be addressed? I've read on forums all over that people are complaining of battery drain but I didn't have that issue, just the sluggishness and the inability to access my pics.

Jbthompson, I know it can be upsetting when an update that should improve your phone's functionality causes it to have problems. I haven't seen the issues you experienced on most Galaxy S III's. Like TheGuyUpNorth stated, most issues are resolved with a factory reset. Do you know if any of your applications were automatically re-installed after the reset? Sometimes the cause of slowness can be related to applications that were compatible with the old OS no longer being compatible with the new one, or conflicting with each other. If you reset and then the same applications are re-installed, then the problem may arise again. Have you completed the JB update on your Galaxy S III replacement yet? Even if you defer or reject the software update, it may come again at a later date. You want to make sure you are ready to complete the update because if it alerts you in the middle of the night and you don't respond, it may go thru. If the battery isn't charged fully that could cause a problem with the update completing. Please let us know if you have any problems with the replacement and we'll be happy to help.
