Hi all! I just got my galaxy s3 a couple weeks ago and so far i LOVE it, but unfortunately it's been giving me a slight problem. My music player/pandora/any multimedia thing won't play any music or sounds when my phone goes into vibrate mode! It also seems that when I put the phone back onto normal mode (nothing is silenced), the problem continues and I have to restart my phone in order to be able to play multimedia again. has anyone had this problem or maybe have any suggestions as to how I can fix it? It's getting really frustrating! Thanks in advance!
 
Lemme post a screen shot of it:

Ive been using the music player that it comes with and when it happens to me its when im at scool. I put my phone in airplane mode, put it on vibrate, and turn the media sound all the way down. After im done with school i can change all the other sounds except for media and it shows the silence thing like in the picture above. If anyone can help please do, i like listening ti music on the ride home lol
