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.

So I am sure others have this problem, but when rooted with Toast's any rom causes the music player to keep skipping songs when headphones are plugged in. And if you just plug them in it starts up the music player and does this.
It sometimes stops and doesn't do this, but it seems to do it a lot more when you are walking with the phone, maybe something with the sensors?
Anyone else have this problem?
BUMP.
Anyone ever figure this out? Seems like a hardware issue but I have no idea. Just bought a new pair of the same model headphones and it started with my new pair. I can hold the phone in my hand smack it around, shake the phone, shake the cord and nothing. The very moment I drop it in my pocket it skips the song.
I was working out yesterday and while actively doing chest press my phone was skipping songs every 2 seconds, VERY hard to concentrate with that crap. Just wondering if anyone figure this crap out.
The OP is right when its sporadic because it skipped nonstop, then I took it out reattached the headphones and back into my pocket it went. A good 15min went by without any skipping. Soooo I don't understand it. Only thing I can think of is the static electricity in the pocket or something.
Download the free Widget "Headset Blocker" from the market. Enable it and fixed!
Is there an app or mod to make it skip or skip back a song by pressing the vol buttons?
also are there any roms that support this
????????????????????
I actually wanted to see this. I hate taking my phone out of my pocket, turning on the phone, and pressing music app while at work.
May be a hassle when trying to turn the music down without turning on the phone though.

Not to my knowledge. Perhaps someone has had success but I don't recall seeing a positive report.
I ended up getting a bluetooth headset... media controls work perfectly (plus no wire sticking out of the phone).

I was able to get the music to pause and start also answer calls and hangup.
How do you resume play using the headset button instead of having to turn the screen on and tapping play? This is super annoying how I have to take my phone out of my pocket every time I want to resume.
It works if I pause, then play in a few seconds, but if I wait a few minutes, I have to turn the screen on....
Seems to work with me on stock 4.0.2 and the included Samsung headset. Today I stopped listening to music for over 2 hours, then just put the headphones in, hit the button, and it started playing.
I just timed it, I paused for 3:30 and tried to resume but it doesn't work unless I tap the scteen
I get that, too. I think it has to do when the phone goes into deep sleep. I don't remember if it happened in stock roms as well. I've been on custom 4.0.3 rom since practically the day I bought the phone.
You don't really have to tap on the screen to resume. Waking up the phone via the power button will make it respond to the headset button input. So instead of whipping out the phone every time, you can just reach into your pocket and press the power button then press the headset button. It's a poor workaround, though.

Still don't have to. It can be sitting on the table for 20min and I can put the headphones in and start music. And its not like I'm doing anything fancy. Set up Google Music normally and haven't messed with it. Just works.

Try this, pause the music, DO NOT unplug the headphones and let it sit around for 30 secs or so, then press the headset button to resume playback. If I unplug the headset while paused then plug it back in, headset button will work.
I has this happen.. I hit the button two times and it responded finally. I was using poweramp though.

1) headphones in
2) started song, turned off screen & listened for a couple minutes
3) pause with headphones
4) sit for ~3 min screen off
5) screen still off, headphones in, hit button
6) music starts playing instantly.

Well, it doesn't work for me. It might be a custom ROM or 4.0.3 thing.
I typically run into this when I use the bluetooth audio in my car. With my Nexus One running CM7 I was always able to just sit down, wait a couple seconds for bluetooth to connect, and hit play, all without having to take the phone out of my pocket.
With Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.0.2 the bluetooth still automatically connects when I turn the car on, but play/pause doesn't work until I open up Music and manually hit play. Will try just powering phone on briefly tomorrow.
For those who say they can't reproduce this: have you disconnected your phone from power? The phone doesn't appear to ever enter deep sleep while on a charger, so if it has something to do with deep sleep as someone suggested, that would prevent this.
Mine is not on power when this happens. I am away from my desk a lot at work and I pause/resume frequently to talk to coworkers. So this is very frustrating for me.

Mine works the same whether plugged in or not, I should add.
Same thing happens to mine. I have a single button inline mic on my headphones. One the Nexus One, I could hit the button at anytime to play and it worked just fine. Now I have to double tap the button to get it to work. And it's not completely reliable. I sometimes have to spam the button to get it to come alive.
This is odd because according to my battery usage, my phone hardly ever goes into deep sleep, yet the headphone controls have trouble waking the phone.
I've tried this with UberMusic and Google Music using my headphones and Bluetooth receiver in my car, where it struggles even more. It just doesn't readily respond to the button input. Basically the same problem as this guy: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24364
Anyone come up with a solution
hello.
I thought I had a hardware problem with my Galaxy S2 and posted a thread about it in the i9100 forum.
but some googling brought me to this page. I have the same problem, and seeing how you guys are on different hardware makes me suspect (hope for) a software solution.
any help would be greatfully accepted, this is really annoying.
a better work around for the moment is to install Jays Headset Control from the market, it's free. there is an option somewhere in there that 'beeps' whenever you press the button. so now when the phone is in my pocket i can press and hold until i hear the beep, which means i can then press again to continue playing.
hope that helps a bit.
currently running android 2.3.6
Nothing happens when I press the play/pause button, or the skip to next track, or the skip to previous track button. I tried this with Winamp playing in the foreground. I'm not sure if this is possible with Winamp. So I also tried it with MortPlayer Music which is what I have used previously and I know it supports this feature. But still nothing. Usually Mort will start playing as soon as I press the play button on the remote, even when it's not in the foreground or not even launched. But now... just silence.
I have SuperNova ROM with Data2SD and Android 2.3.3. I have S-OFF, root, and stock HBOOT.
Is there some service or process missing? Or not running in the background? What else could it be?
Just for clarification, the headset is working, I mean I can hear the music, it's just that there is no way to use the buttons to control it (except through the app).
Edit:
Also, is there something like a menu option or control panel, some means of controlling which app gets to use the headset buttons? Or a way of setting which app is the default music player? Or which one is the default browser for instance? Is this possible in Android? Some centralized place where you can set all of these things, a little bit like Windows style?
not tried it myself, but does this app work? it's a trial, so you can see if it works, and have to pay later. or might be other apps which are free and work, have a browse
(as an aside some roms allow long pressing of volume buttons to skip tracks, but i believe this has to be the stock music app, and probably has to be on the system partition)
Jack is the culprit!
I have found the culprit. It's my headset jack! You can check out the picture below.
I think some leads have broken inside the sleeve at the jack. That's why it bulges out like that, you can see that it's a little thick at that point. If I press and hold the cable at this point the remote control buttons work again, more or less, it glitches sometimes. If I let go it stops working, or it works sometimes if I move the cable around like when having the phone in a pocket.
For the record, this is the original HTC headset, I think it's RC-E160. The earbuds are still working though. So it's pretty much just a headphone right now. I haven't used it very much because, almost nothing at all, because of the poor sound quality. I started using it only like three months ago as as a temporary replacement when my Sony got broken. Now these are broken too. My Sony lasted much longer.
I still wonder how you can control which app gets priority and things like that, when you have like two or three different apps that respond to headset buttons. Is there no option in Android from where you can control this? Is your only option to uninstall the apps you don't want to be interfering? This doesn't seem well thought through.
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.
