Hi guys, long time since i post here (since the HTC Diamond)
Anyway, my question goes to those who use the default music player.
I have been experiencing some weird problems.
Sometimes when i start playing music it will start skipping the track ahead by itself and jumping to the next track.
I couldnt identify the problem.
Other day i installed "3" player to see if it would do the same, and it did.
Worse than that, if i fired up the default player, even tho the 3 player was off it would start itself and play musics too at the same time.
My Desire is standard, no modifications.
Anyone here had any problem like this ?
I have had no such problems with the HTC music player, i use it all the time with the AUX port in my car,
are you sure you are not touching the screen by mistake? because i noticed when you lock the device, you can still change tracks without unlocking, double edged thingy, its useful when ur in a car, but not so much if its in ur pocket
I would suggest you to remove your memory card, format it with cardreader (NOT FAST) and then put it back to Desire and again format it from your phone and try again.
NOTE: YOU'LL LOSE EVERYTING ON YOUR MEMORY CARD.
I have 16GB which I use with my Desire and I have not seen the problem you talk about here. And yes, I listed to lot of music.
Ok, thanks for the feedback guys.
But here is what i found out so far.
Tested lots of options with Wifi/GPS/Data on/off and it doesnt seem to be coming from there.
Now the tricky part is with the headphone.
Sometimes when i insert the headphone Sennheiser CX line the phone shows the HEADSET icon on the tray and it is when the glitch with the music playback starts.
Sometimes i insert the headphone and it detects correctly but after a few mins the headphone icon turns into a headset icon and the problem with the musics skipping restart.
I checked the 3.5mm jack and it is not loose, and i insert it well each time.
I have tried to kill all open apps before doing the test run and the same result appears randomly.
I could not trim down the problem yet but i will let you know.
PS.
I will try the format thing after a few more tests.
Thanks again..

As you see its a headphone and it is recognized as headset....odd.
Caught the issue on video.

Maybe a 3.5mm jack problem ?
Need more testing...
I cannot reproduce the problem every time....arghhh
I have exactly the same problem albeit with Google listen and the stock music player. Its definitely the 3.5mm socket. I can reproduce the problem each time with the male to male lead I have for the car. I'd really value a solution!!
Please, can someone else confirm if you have problem with the 3.5mm jack ?
Hey just tested with stock earphones (should give same results to everyone by not using my "own" so to speak)
No problem what so ever over here.
BTW, I've used my own in-ear earlier and never noticed anything of what you are describing back then as well.
Maybe you should start a poll?
I use a Bluetooth headset at work because I do not want to damage the phone in my pocket so the phone is on my tool box and "3" Cubed music app will start up when default music player is playing?
thanks for the feedback guys, i hope to hear from more ppl because if this is specific to a few devices i might return mine and request a new one.
I have the same problem with "3" starting automatically too.
But i thought it was related to the 3.5mm jack.
Hey, I have the same problem, my girlfriend with the same phone, also has this problem. I have tried a few other music apps, and they all seem to have issues, including the fact the HTC music player starts playing music by itself on top of it.
I will try and format the sd card twice and report back
Okay, when I use the HTC Headset, I cant skip/change tracks with the headset buttons, also no Pause/Play ... pressing Play results in skipping to the next track ... today it even called suddenly one of my contacts :\
When I use normal earphones I've got absolutely NO problems
I believe the problem doesnt come from the musci application but from the headphone/headset connected to the 3.5mm jack.
For me, if any headphone is inserted and it is recognized as headset, the music applications will go bananas.
I will wait a few more replies and a few days before go to the stor and complain about the issue.
Its definitely something to do with the 3.5mm jack, as i've been playing music for a while on the loudspeaker as a test and it works perfectly...
Is there really noone else having issues with this?
I've had similar results occasionally, all when the headset jack gets jostled. I'm pretty sure it just has bad contacts sometimes. Sucks, but I don't consider it phone-return-worthy.
I have had exactly the same issue as you recorded and described.. after that I pulled out the headset and tried to put it back in, but the phone didn't even recognized the headset at all! I had to turn the phone off and on to get the headset recognized again.. But the issue with the music player going berserk was exactly the same with jumping from number to number, so you're not alone..

No problem with the 3.5mm jack here, but I've seen users at other forums complaining of this.
Problems with third party players seem widespread. A few times I've had Tunewiki start playing when pressing play on the stock player.
BINGO !!!
So, here is the link to this other thread.

I think this is the problem.
I have no idea what TRS is, but i am almost sure this is what is causing the issues with 3rd party headphones.
Can someone else check there and confirm that this could be the cause for the weird issue when the player go bananas and it identifies the headphone as a headset ?
I occasionally have these issues on the included stock HTC headset. It's true that TRS headphones may have inconsistent effectiveness in a TRRS jack, but it's not necessarily the sole cause of issues, at least.

When I connect my G3 to my car stereo via aux, tracks change forwards or backwards, when I give the phone a shake to either left or right. A track also pauses if I shake the phone towards me and starts playing when i shake it away from me. The phone is also very eager to launch Voice Mate when listening music like this.. None of these issues occur if I listen to music with headphones or the phones own speaker. I can't find anything in the settings that would turn this feature/problem off. Has anyone experiences this or know how this could be set off?

This is not a feature, its one of many bugs with the AUX-output. Sometimes you get the voice mate problem, sometimes skip tracks, audio explosions, buzzings and alot of times the output is not recognized at all.
There is a long thread about this on the forum but as far as I know theres no solution to this particular problem yet. Maybe a ground loop isolator solves this problem too?

Yeah, it seems there are alot of aux and audio problelms. I hope some of these problems can be fixed via ota updates but i'm thinking about returning this phone..
This is a cross post from the thread I found on reddit, I take no credit for this find.
The problem for this person was "I purchased some Beyedynamic DT990 Pros (low impedance ersion; 32ohm) and there is some issue with the jack. It seems to trigger the button of me pressing the microphone button, with minimal movement. It either brings up voice command or just pauses the music, even if I just turn off the screen. If I try to increase the volume it also brings up the voice command sometimes.
Just moving the phone slowly causes the music to stop (if it doesnt already when turning the screen off.
Anyone have any solutions to this? These are good headphones, they work with my pc perfectly. I will test with my ipod aswell.
I was thinking of getting a female to male jack just to see if a different connector works. But these are audiophile headphones so the quality isn't really questionable."
and the solution was
"Download the app SoundAbout. It lets you force your phone to detect the headphones correctly. My G3 was doing the exact same thing and ever since I downloaded SoundAbout around a week or so ago everything has been working fine." "What I do is put the headphones into the jack, but not all the way until it clicks in. Just put it in enough to where the phone senses them. If the phone senses them as a headset, remove the headphones (not necessary to take them completely out, just off of the sensor inside the headphone jack) and try again. Once it detects them as regular headphones you can click them in like normal."
Sorry for the poor formatting, and unable to link the reddit thread because my account lacks posts but I found this extremely helpful and hope everyone with this issue does too.

Thread is LG G3 can't deal with proper headphones-
Another method from goldswimmerbj
"I have seen that many people are having issues with the phone picking up headphones as headsets and pausing music on it's own and also causing LG voice to pop up. This issue is caused by the phone picking up headphones incorrectly.
Put the headphones in slowly until you hear 2 faint beeps. Once you hear those just continue plugging in the headphones."
Hope this solves your problems with the LG G3,
My LG G3 has a different problem I guess
Thanks for the info OP.
Mine has headset issue, but only during phone calls.
When I play music, I have no problem at all, during the phone calls, this is where the issue comes. the sound is bad, just like the phone is in a really bad reception area, however, when I unplug the headset, use the phone itself, there is no problem at all, same for the speaker.
i tried with different headset, all same result. I tried the options in the thread above, same. also, my phone detect the headsets ok, once the headset is plugged, the phone has the headset icon appeared
my phone is LG G3, 32G, Canadian Bell version.
any help would be much appreciated
I'm having a lot of issues with playing music in my car. I drive 1.5 hours a day to work and I really want to be able to listen to music through my phone but it's getting increasingly frustrating.
I have a D855K
Android version 5.0
Kernel version 3.4.0
Software V20f-505-01
I used to have a Samsung S2 and I'd have it connected via bluetooth to my car head unit which is a Sony WXGT90BT . This worked fine with my S2. With my G3 I've had a lot of issues. The audio will cut out randomly, sometimes this will happen every 5-10 seconds, and sometimes it will be once a minute or so. It usually cuts out for 1 second, but it's very frustrating when the music is constantly being interrupted.
I decided to try using an aux cable instead of bluetooth, but there were even more problems with this. The slightest bump on the road would cause the cable to move and open up Voice Mate. I tried disabling it under apps, but it would still pop up so I rooted my phone, bought Titanium Backup and froze the app. This stopped Voice Mate from popping up, but now whenever the cable moves it skips the track, going to the next one or goes back a track or pauses the music. Sometimes it opens up Google Voice Dialer, or Google Voice Search. I have none of these issues with earphones. I have also tried multiple aux cables all with the same issues.
I should also mention that I'm using Power Amp Pro as my music player. This is the same one I had on my S2. I'm not sure how it's changing songs when the aux cable is moved.
I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue, so I thought I'd check here first before sending my phone away. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Bluetooth issues are fixed in 20H firmware. D855 firmware should be compatible with D855K, though i don't know for sure.
Jack being detected as handsfree is an unfixable hardware issue, it stems from LG's jack detection algorithm. I guess the most we can do is mod the software so it always thinks that only headphones are plugged in...
Thanks for the reply.
Since it's rooted I can try updating to 20H to see if it fixes the bluetooth issues.
As for the Jack, I don't like the sound of unfixable... If I can get bluetooth working though then it doesn't matter too much. The longer the phone is out the closer we'll be to getting a fix, so hopefully it does eventually get fixed.
Hi
just set up the device and all went fine, trying youtube music for the first time.
after some seconds the music disappeared with crackle sound through ehadset on highest volume.
unplugging and replugging the 3,5mm headset through adapter that came with device on usb c there was an electrical crack sound in the headset when un- and replugging.
closing the app and relaunching worked for a short time then sound disappeared on one ear. same crack in ears on (un)plugging.
second headset no difference, but then it works without any issues when using headset volume just one step below max volume.
so this is a known issue on that device, software thing or hardware thing?
evreything else is fine, should we cross check built in speaker on highest volume for crackles to chekc the hardware or do headset through usb c and built in speaker run throught two different output stage/amplifier circuits?
thx for any help
Yea this is happening. There is another thread here also talking about it. It drives me crazy... Seems to be software related (hope so), as some people said installing another rom solves the issue. I also noticed (at least until now) that the problem seems to involve instagram, everytime I had this issue, I checked and instagram was opened on background. I don't remember having the issue when I close instagram beforr plugging the headphone. Not sure about the relation though, still needs to test more.
I will install xiaomi.eu rom soon to test if this happens there also.
Btw, what miui version are you running?

Whatsapp aswell is a big issue. Some people said replacing the typec/jack adaptor works.. but i dont have another one for the moment to test.
ah, just saw the other thread, 2 sites already
so at least no hardware issue, at least not the device, maybe the adapter
thought about buying bluetooth or usb headset anyway as i think even if only some grams the 3,5 on the adapter always tears a little bit on the cord/usb c plug over weeks/months/years and might affect the port
after a restart and reinstalling youtube music i could not reproduce it anymore
have been listening half an hour music without any issues and had a phone call another 25 minutes with headset without sound issues
running global version with
global 10.2.9.0 PFBEUXM
while PFBEUXM should stand for eu anyway?
is there a way to flash another official rom without rooting/unlocking the device and loosing warranty?
thx
Hey anyone have any audio issues on this phone or possibly another MIUI device? Here's what I'm getting:
Usually, I plug in my headphones and right away I get great volume and my player auto-plays. But as it keeps playing the music pauses for a second and then resumes automatically. The headphones icon disappears in the notification area for that time when the music stops. I thought it may be Poweramp's issue but the same thing happens in the default MIUI Music app. (Playing MP3s from SD card - haven't tried streaming apps yet.)
If I unplug and replug the headphones from the audio jack, the same thing happens still. But after I unplug and replug a bunch of times, eventually the music suddenly starts playing at about half the volume it was initially, and the problem no longer occurs! To clarify, the volume is still set to 100% but the actual output volume is only half as loud as it was initially when the problem occurs.
There's no MIUI audio settings I can find that could be responsible for this.. Any ideas??
This happened to me too, the problem is in outdated headphones jack. Try a few other ones, the newer versions of the handsfree will fit accordingly.

Interesting. Just to clarify, you're saying that the device I'm plugging into my phone (headphones) is the problem, right? It would make sense why other speakers I've plugged in haven't had this issue.. I wonder why it'd be happening since I've never run into this issue with any other phone and I've had these headphones for many years now.

Yes the device is fault. When you plug in the jack, the headphone icon starts blinking right? it goes on and off and keeps on until you force it to play some song.. I had been using my favorite headphones for 1.5 years and i had to buy new ones when i bought this phone because they wont work properly.
