[Q]Random Song-Skipping

Hello Guys and (Girls)
I've got a lil problem which is really pissing me. I can't listen to music normal. Allways the songs are skipping or restart whatever. Sometimes it also just phones someone, while im listning to music
I tryed 3 diffrent Headphones of Phillips, Zenheiser and Apple. They all didn't got a Mic or something to skip songs.
But they are showed as a Headset on my phone. Sometimes they dosn't show up as that, than it works perfectly.
Is there a way to disable the headset functionality or whatever.
WHAT CAN I DO???
Best Regards

Does the skipping occur when using another media player such as DoubleTwist?
Are you rooted? If so which ROM have you got?

I got a rooted phone.
I'm using Android Revolution 5.1.10.
And its in every music-player also in the stock one.
Normaly i use the player called "MusicMod"
It occurs while i walk/run/jump or get on the cable with my fingers near the headphone port. Sometimes also with no reason.

try to clean to 3.5mm you may have dirt there..
just a question, when you plug the headphone to your dhd, do you see an icon of a headphone or headphone with mic on the top bar near the clock?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I had the same issue, and the fact your phone recognize a mic that doesn’t exist just support that you may have dirt there...
i used something like this:

You might want to try another ROM after all the other suggestions because I had the exact same problem on Cyanogen but not on any other ROM. Any random movement would mess about with the music player.

ok, i have same problem with buttons when i turn them off itsok but i wannabe able to skip track while im running, i notice something strange when i look at the back of the phone (at 3.5mm jack) i see bronse color, i think its wires inside of phone, anyone of you guys with same buttons problems can see that on their phones? so i can moveon my next diagnose if you dont see it

Weird Problem...Any solution?

When I try to use my headphones the phone suddenly opens music player by itself and changes songs continiously. I go to settings and force stop the music player. After a while it opens the music player again. While I'm listening a song it starts to change songs suddenly. I tried many ROMs but its always same. What can be the problem ?
I used ARHD, Virtuous Unity, RCMix 3D....

Incompatible headphones. The OEM headphones has a switch that does these functions. Guessing you are using a set of non oem headphones. The oem headphones have more rings on the plug than a standard set of headphones. That much larger ring is bridging out the connection causing you issues when you first plug them in. Then slightly moving the plug may cause your issues to happen as you are listening.
I use a set with a built in mic/mic button and do not have these issues. But a set without a mic or switch will cause this. As the jack gets looser your symptoms will get worse.

I use Phillips SHS3200. I can't use OEM headphones cause they fall from my ears. I have to use headphones with hooks. What can you recommend? I was planning to buy a Sennheiser.

You can pick up a mic adapter cable like this and plug your headphones into it.

Pic pulled from ebay search of "mic headphone adapter". The remote button can then be used to start and stop your music.
Here is the listing

You should be able to find something like this in your local cellphone/electronics store.
I actually took my HTC oem headphones apart at the switch and soldered a better pair of headphones into it. I prefer the ones that set in the ear canal compared to the large uncomfortable ones HTC gives you.

You didn't say if you used the default musicplayer. I know some players have settings to forcestart when headphones are plugged in. Some players also have a "shake/turn/flip/give finger-setting to change tunes. But in the end, it's probably as poster above said. Incompatible headset...

Try an app called 'Headset Blocker' by 'Roadkill' it worked for me. It was suggested to me by someone else on the forums a month or so ago, works fine.

Poweramp Volume Rocker to skip track

Hi! I switched to Modaco's Rom from AOKP and one feature that I am missing is the ability to skip tracks by holding the volume rocker while the screen is off. I use Poweramp and it's supposed to have this feature however I cant get it to work :/ Should I enable it as a setting (i couldnt find anything related in the settings) or is it just not compatible with my rom?
Thanks

This topic was heavy talked about on Poweramp forums. The poweramp developer said that volume button can't be control by Poweramp unless it has root. Which he at this time have no interest unless Google changes to allow apps handle some hardware without root.
It is a rom feature. You could ask Madoco to add the feature into the rom. You also could use button saviour app till its add to the rom. You can find the app by searching xda.

So you mean that if my phone is rooted it should work? My phone is routed and it still doesn't work :/

No, he is meaning that poweramp could use volume rocker to change track if your phone was rooted, but it wont happen because they dont have any interest making special things for people with rooted phone.

It works fine with aokp and power amp.

Is there a mod (.zip file) to add this to another (non-AOKP) rooted rom?

I use codename and can switch tracks with poweramp. I have to now because I bought an amp and can't with my klipsch ear buds anymore

Can only connect to single BT device.

My truck stereo supports bluetooth audio, and I have a Jawbone Era. My phone auto connects to truck when I get in. If I turn my Era on, it can't connect to phone until I shut truck stereo off. Vice versa as well.
My iPhone 4 could connect to both at same time, and so could my even older blackberry. This allows me to listen to music on on, and take calls on the other if I wish.
How do I enable this on my HOX?

Is this and android limitation, or an HTC limitation?

You can only have one profile active at a time. If your truck and headset both use the handsfree profile, you'll have to turn it off for the truck so you can connect to the headset.
My car only uses the a2dp profile, but when I connect it to my headset too it only uses my car's a2dp and not my headset's a2dp.

Ok that makes sense, thanks.
Can I choose which device gets access to that profile, like on the iPhone, or is it always first come, first serve?

In your bluetooth setting menu next to each device you can long press on an entry and choose options to disable a specific profile.

When I going to blue tooth devices, I see my devices. Long press does nothing, but clicking on the button beside I can see the profiles.

But when I try to unchecked a profile it just tries to connect to using that profile. Long press doesn't seem to work here either. Maybe I have to be connected to the device to disable the profile.
I am on the right track now, thanks.

Oh yeah, sorry long press was Gingerbread

Yep, you have to be conn cted to the device before it will let you disable a profile.
Thanks for the help, all working now.

Robin: Bluetooth volume either very quite or blasting loud, no middle ground

(fix at end of post)
Problem:
Hello, so this is my biggest annoyance with the Robin, which I have been using for about 6-8 months now (and recently FINALLY was upgraded to N).
My problem is that, with any bluetooth device (speakers, headset, car head unit), there are only two styles of volume. This is likely caused by Bluetooth absolute volume (or synchronized volume). I don't know how to disable this without root.
1-3 is VERY quiet, I can barely hear it at all.
4-10 is VERY LOUD, I can't even wear my headphones and listen to music.
I mean, 1-3 goes from like 1-2dB, and then 4-10 jumps straight to 90-120dB. There is no middle ground, and it doesn't help that every bluetooth device now pairs with the volume control, too. I can't set one setting on my phone and fine-tune the volume on my device like I used to be able to a year or two ago.
I would like to listen to music using my phone again, but this is making it impossible..... I don't want to root this phone as it's a work phone and the stock robin android is very good, so I won't be able to manually adjust volume settings (unless that no longer requires root)
Cheers!
Resolution:
Android N simply switched to absolute Bluetooth volume controls. In the past I only knew how to bypass this with root privileges, however my stock Robin OS now shows a new option in Dev options to manually disable Bluetooth absolute volume. Disabling this fixed all sound issues I was experiencing and increased the quality of bluetooth sound.
