[Q] Audio Focus is randomly lost

[guarita]

Hi, I have bought the Xperia ZQ (Xperia ZL's alias in Brazil) C6503. I am experiencing a very annoying problem: from time to time the audio playback in any audio app just stops. If I hit play again it will resume normally but I still need to tap the play button which can be a pain specially while driving. I can't remember when this started but I think it is from the first time I tried to play any audio on it.

I think it is an issue with 'Audio Focus' since the playback pauses and will resume gently from where it stopped if I hit the play (or unpause) button.

I used 'adb logcat' to register the events logged by the OS while listening to music. When it happened I checked the log and found these lines (which I think represent the moment it stopped playing):

D/PowerManagerService( 581): acquireWakeLock flags=0x1 tag=NetworkStats
D/ConnectivityService( 581): Actual State: DefaultConnectivityState, Current State: DefaultConnectivityState.processMessage what=113
D/ConnectivityService( 581): Actual State: DefaultConnectivityState, Current State: DefaultConnectivityState.processMessage what=113
D/PowerManagerService( 581): releaseWakeLock flags=0x1 tag=NetworkStats

I/AudioService( 581): Remote Control registerMediaButtonIntent() for PendingIntent{42519fe8: PendingIntentRecord{441adea8 deezer.android.app broadcastIntent}}
I/AudioService( 581): AudioFocus requestAudioFocus() from [email protected]@42659da8
D/@ AudioController(17666): AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS
D/@ AudioController(17666): Pause requested.
D/PowerManagerService( 581): releaseWakeLock flags=0x20000001 tag=android.media.MediaPlayer
I/AudioService( 581): AudioFocus abandonAudioFocus() from [email protected]@425206b0
I/AudioService( 581): AudioFocus abandonAudioFocus(): removing entry for [email protected]@425206b0
D/PebbleWatch(17666): Sent com.getpebble.action.NOW_PLAYING for Ambitions from Dead End Kings

I was using n7 player (which I guess is "[email protected]" in the log) when the playback was interrupted. I think that "I/AudioService( 581): AudioFocus requestAudioFocus() from [email protected]@42659da8" did interrupt the n7 player.

I'll try to get more events like this using other apps. Anyone have any clue on how to solve this? I thought I would find some lousy app requesting audio focus randomly but what I got here is AudioManager messing my playback... (assuming I did interpret this correctly).

Thanks in advance for any help.

That's bad news... I am using 4.1.2. I hoped version 4.2.2 would fix this.

Some information from my system:

I am running: Android: 4.1.2
Phone model: C6503

Maybe u have sleep timer on...


"maybe"

 

[guarita]

Sleep timer? I don't really know what it is. Isit something related to when the phone is locked? This happens at any time, with the phone unlocked and when it is locked and in standby...

Anyway, how can I disable it so I can check if it is causing this?

Thanx!
