I know I'm a newb but I have been lurking on here for about a year. Heres my problem:
This only happens when I'm driving my motorcycle. The headphones I'm using have a mic. I tried putting the phone in different places(backpack, pocket, jacket, etc.) with no changes. Could it be the headphones that are messing this up. Anyone else have this problem? thanks.
The songs play normally when I just walk around or just standing still.
If your screen is on, the actualy cord hitting the skip/back button for the controls can cause it to change. Happens to me all the time.

I wish that was the case but I always lock the screen.
Hmm awkward...are you using the like honeycomb music player? Because that one does have some issues. But I'll be back...need to go for a quick run ><.
What ROM are you using? I have always used CyanogenMod. I ride a motorcycle as well, and when i hold the volume up/down buttons it will skip forward or backwards. It actually works out really nice, since i can change songs while riding.
Running stock, with installed music player. Everything works fine when using just the phone. It works when I run a line-out to my car stereo. When I use earbuds, multiple ones now, I will eventually encounter this problem.
It may take more than an hour but, eventually, the player starts skipping around. It will play 1-5 seconds of anything and then repeat or skip. Also, I only use earbuds (one, really) is when I ride my bike. The ride with the handset in the front pocket of my shorts. At first, I thought there might be an issue with the contacts but this will occur even if I'm standing still.
I've read some threads in other folders but have not found the solution. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hard to say what might be causing this. I don't use the stock player -- can it be set to skip forwards or backwards when the hardware volume buttons are pressed? Could these or some other button be pressed while you are riding? Is something touching the Dpad while you are riding?
On some audio players, it can be made to automatically pause if the jack is removed -- does the stock player do this?
No buttons pushed and the phone is locked.
It seems that if the earbuds connecter spins at all in the jack, which will always happen to some degree, the player begins to skip. Is this something I can fix?
If you can reproduce it by spinning the plug then it sounds like a hardware problem. If using a different pair of headphones doesn't fix it then it is your phone....
If it might be software, have you tried using the new Music beta media player instead?

Yeah, three different sets of earbuds and upgraded to the new Music beta media player. I guess I need to call T-Mobile (ugh).

Sorry to hear that
How you get a new one that fixes all your problems!

Okay, I've searched everywhere for a free solution to this problem and have found none. After listening to music, I pause it and put my phone in my pocket, headphones wrapped around it. Everything's fine and dandy, but while in my pocket, the button on the urBeats turns on the music. This is not the worst part. If the button is double clicked, it calls the most recent number. I called my grandma 5 times yesterday. She was quite concerned. How do i change what the button does/disable it altogether? Thanks for answering.

I've had this issue too, running several different ROM's. I listen to iHeart radio while I run in the morning. and keep the phone in my sweatshirt pocket with screen turned off. As I run, and the phone bounces up and down, my phone spazzes out! It changes channel spontaneously, goes to google now search, prompting me to say something, and also as above, calls the last number called. When I run at 4:30 in the morning, this can be a problem. I thought it was just my headphones, but this may be a more wide-spread problem. This has happened to me while running AOSP (liquid smooth) and Sense (Nusense 6) I don't think it has anything to do with buttons, but I notice that if I twist the headphone jack around in the socket, it reproduces the problem. Anybody else?

I'm on ViperROM for future reference and the issue for me is definitely the button. One click turns on music, two clicks dials the last number. Holding it down opens google search. All of this is easily replicable. It happens in my pocket all the time and I want it to stop

I hate how it does that too. You can't even skip tracks with the headset. Someone needs to make an xposed thing for this.
Funny, switching headphones solved the problem for me. I was using jaw breaker ear buds, before, and tossed them (they had been through the washer a couple times anyway) Using the ear buds that came with my old Samsung GSIII, and they work fine with no skips, random calls, or google now prompts. Go figure. Read somewhere that it has to do with how securely the headset plug is held in the jack. Anyone else?

ok i found a xposed thing that does that, but it only works when music is playing so if the music app is closed, it will still call people with a double click (which i want disabled entirely). so this problem is only kinda solved with that. i wish there was something like it that was configurable.

Sup guys,
Just hopped onto the smartwatch bandwagon. Loving it so far. Only issue I've had is with listening to music directly from the watch. This was one of the big selling points for me. I'm a workout fanatic and wanted to use it on my runs and in the gym. Anyways, when I'm on my runs I notice the music skips like crazy. Almost as if it were a scratched CD or on a poor internet connection.
Any ideas what might be causing it? I've tried two different sets of bluetooth headphones. It seems to skip the most when I'm actually running, as opposed to walking or standing still. I'm going to try telling the phone to not turn off "tilt to wake" to see if that's the issue. Will also try out a 3rd pair of headphones next. Other than that though, not sure what else I can try? Maybe ambient screen? Any thoughts? Has anyone experienced this? Could I have a defective 360?
By the way, this is with JUST my watch and headphones. The phone isn't in the equation (I've read if the watch is connected to more than one device, ie headphones and phone, skipping occurs on music).
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas,
Gods
Think I figured it out! I think the skips are when the watch tries to check if the phone is in range to connect with. Looks like putting the watch in airplane mode and activating bluetooth afterwards will allow for the watch to pair with the headphones and play music without the constant skipping. I haven't done a large test yet, just ran around the yard for 5 minutes. I'll test it in greater depth tomorrow.

Any success? I'm on my second set of BT headphones and still getting a lot of skipping.
I am using Jaybird Bluebuds X, never had an issue, music never skips. But playing BT Music from watch causes my watch to shut down randomly, sometimes around 50%, sometimes around 75%
Is it heat related? Maybe can monitor the temperature of the watch somehow.
Is there any app other than google play music that can play songs stored in the watch?
I'm having issues with the playback on my N5X when using headphones w/ remote. Bluetooth seems to work without issue.
The problem is, randomly, and usually within a minute of starting audio and putting the screen to sleep, audio playback will stop. Once I unlock the phone, it looks as if the OS still thinks audio is playing. If I toggle the play/pause button, I can get it to restart audio, but it does not pick up at the point where I heard the audio stop -- as if it continued playing while "muted". This occurs in at least 2 separate apps, which is why i'm thinking it's either an Android bug or possible a HW issue.
Anyone seen this?
Well I guess that answers my question...

I've had a problem playing audio using Podcast Addict over bluetooth, but it's not similar to what you're describing. In my case, playback just pauses randomly for a second or two, then continues. This can happen after 1 minute of playback, or 20 minutes. I'm assuming at this point that my problem is with the app, android 6.0 is still very new and some apps may have problems (like camera apps flipping everything upside-down).
Exactly the same issues with my Nexus 5X... Deezer and Podcast Addict. Music starts but as soon as the display is turned off, approx. one minute later the sound stopps but when I turn the phone on again the player looks like still playing... Very annoying... Have you changed someting like the "lock when power button is pushed" option ore anything which is connected to the display?
Same here with Spotify... I find that I have to unplug and replug the headphones, hit pause, then play again. :/ Have you tried disabling Doze for your music player? It may have something to do with that, but I haven't experimented with it yet.

Yes I Had this problem. Mine did the exact same thing as yours. I rebooted the phone and it seemed to fix the problem. I can't tell if I would have had the problem again because I sent my phone back the next day for a replacement. My WiFi was terribly slow so they are sending me a new 5X.
I'm having the same problem when I use Google Music. I don't even have to turn the screen off. Did you have any luck figuring the problem out?

Yes, I did deselect "Power button instantly locks". I'll try putting it back to the default to see what happens. I know this has nothing to do with the "Smart Lock" state, because it happens even when I'm away from home.
Otherwise, I've found nothing that solves the issue. It's very annoying. The good thing is it probably only happens 10% of the time when I turn off the display with audio playing.
Yeah it's happening every single time I play music. Driving me crazy
Having the same problem. Seems to only happen when I'm doing something that would trigger the motion sensors. So when walking, all audio gets muted within a few seconds of me starting to walk, then stays muted. However, if I pause the audio, after 10 seconds I hear a pop (like the sound of a speaker turning off or something similar) and audio is available again. Exact same thing happens when I'm biking. If I'm stopped, music will continue until I start biking again, pause music, ten seconds later pop, resume. Everything is fine until I stop again, then repeat.
This isn't a problem when I take the subway, or a bus.
It's not just music that's muted though, all notification noises and alarms are also muted. The phone thinks the volumes are all where they're set, but won't play anything either over headphones, bluetooth or the speaker.
A reboot has not fixed my issue. System logs haven't revealed anything. Since this doesn't seem to be a super widespread problem, I'll be RMA'ing this one and hoping it doesn't happen on my next.
I'm not the only one
I have similar issues with mine, using podcast addict and YouTube with either wired headphones or wired aux jack.
What I find weird is that I am able to continue watching the video but without sound. I am unable to reliably replicate the problem but it always happens very quickly in the car using the wird aux input.
Sometimes the headphones will be fine for a long time while I'm sitting still and other times it will seem to stop even if I have no motion happening or have not touch the headphones.
Would be interested in trouble shooting this please advise.
Putting my phone away without turning off the screen seems to make this happen less. However, since this doesn't seem to be a super widespread problem, I've RMA'd my device. Not interested in starting out with a broken handset.
Been happening to me too - think since the MDB08L update. I just turned off Google Now 'Always On' and my podcast is playing fine (so far, lol). Not ideal because I do use OK Google, but continuous audio playback is way more important to me. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon. How can we report issues like this to Google?
Interesting. I use Nova Launcher and switched off Google Now 'Always On' in the phone settings, but left it enabled in Nova Settings 'Gestures and Inputs'. I can still say 'OK Google' on any screen and so far the audio is playing without stopping every minute or so.
Getting this too. Was out running earlier with headphones in, stopped playing randomly five or six times but found skipping track made it work again. At home, had it on loud speaker, got 5 seconds in but it froze, skipped track and got 3 seconds, skipped again and just got 1 second. Gave up after that..
But it works fine when connected to a bluetooth speaker or my car!

I tried this - switched off the "Always On" option. Went for a 40 min run tonight with music on through headphones and it didn't stop playing once.
Even now, got the phone playing through loudspeaker and it's having no problems!
Exact same issue here .
Audio playback stops but device still thinks its playing ie speaker icon on top bar. Sometimes stopping app and restarting helps other times no joy. I have also heard the short pop sound when it stops.
So far has happened in Youtube, google music and in some games. Also intermittent loss of text alert tones too.
Only sure fire way to reset is to restart phone.
I shall give the switching google now always on off trick see if this helps and report back (never use it anyway but still it shouldn't prevent audio)
Try a reboot

I did more searching online and found enough other people are having a similar to think that there's something going on with the software. One post on a nexus 5 X subreddit had talked to Google support and went through a process of a safe mode boot as well as a reboot. I have not tried a safe mode boot but a reboot has resulted in the best playback experience I have had since owning this phone. No interruptions in audio for the last several hours . I'm on Verizon and have not received any updates as far as I'm aware. I am hoping that this will last.
My phone updated yesterday... I'm not sure but I haven't run into this problem yet with the new update. It has only happen 3-4 times before the update but we'll see

After updating yesterday, I had it occur again this morning with video playback and the audio muting. So wouldn't be too hopeful, sadly...
