Music changes by itself? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently i've bought my new earbuds (philips) though they don't have any "control" option where you can track skip and stuff like that but my phone changes music track by itself. I have tried changing roms (sense to miui) and changed music players as well but it's the same.
DO you think it is a problem of phone or my headphones. I mean the same thing happened when i was listening to radio, the tracks started changing all of a sudden. Also my headphones seem to be fine when they're connected to my laptop.
Any ideas?

Sometimes regular headphones cause problems with the phone due to incorrect contacts in the 3.5mm connector.
Search google play for "headset blocker" it'll do the job

Ok, it's not working for me lol, it doesn't matter whether it is enabled or disabled, it just doesn't work and the music changes by itself all the time sometimes very fast sometimes in the middle of the song.
Any other tip?

You should try to clean the phones jack. I had a lot of dust there and it caused just that same issue.

did you fix the problem by cleaning your jack?

Mostly yes, it still does it but wery rarely. You should search google for instructions.

ok so i've cleaned it properly (with a cotton bud, stuck inside) and there seemed to be some dust but it still doesn't solve the problem :/
btw, the ear buds i'm using, they have 2 strips on the jack, instead of 3 from the official earphones.

I found that I need to reboot for the change to take effect.

With that app headset blocker.
While the headphone is jacked in the phone, enable the headset blocker.
Because that's the way I do it and it seems to fix my random music skip/pause problems.
Headset blocked worked in every gingerbread roms. Sense(coredroid, arhd, runny Droid and more) and so with cm7 roms (absolution, black ice). Only rom that didn't work on was ICS, because ICS is still being developed.

I'm using miui and it doesn't seem to fix the problem at all. What works for me is when i pull the headphones out a bit but whenever i put it in my pocket it goes back to the same position and the problem occurs. I'll try to flash another (GB) rom and see if headset blocker would work.
Other tips are welcome and very much appreciated. Thanks

I have been getting that problem for the past few weeks... I want to know if the prob is in my phone or somewhere else... Btw my phone is alcatel one touch idol alpha

[Q] [ISSUE]HTC Headphones control buttons and mic stopped working !

Hello everyone, I will be short : after few months using my DHD I was using the stock headphones with no problems to answer calls, skip tracks in music player etc...
But since a few days the buttons worked randomly and now even the mic does'nt work so I can hear but we can't hear me.
Of course I did'nt let them fall in my coffe or under a car or whatever, and I tried with many custom rom (full wipe etc..)and also with stock, thats why I ask some help from you.
I looked for few hours in many threads, and found that some users had this after they rooted their phones, I found that HD2 users had this too !! when using android in dual boot so Im 99% sure its a software and not hardware fault, unfornatunaly I did'nt tried to use the headphones on another DHD yet...If I can I give you the results.
THX for your help !
There is a app in the market called headset blocker (widget). Check it out and see if it may be of use.

thx I already tried it it does'nt fix the problem.
Little up for this annoying issue...
I have the same problem with my headphones. they suddenly stoped working. however, my problem is a hardware fault, because the headphones of a friends DHD are working as intended.
I think that yours is a hardware fault too.
I have the same problem, and it's NOT a hardware fault. I don't think yours is either.
The reason for this is that I exchanged and got a fresh pair today. They didn't work! As in, I can listen to music, but not pause or change songs, or talk with the mic. Extremely frustrating.
All this just using the default music player etc.
Yea, mine doesnt work too!!!, it happened as soon as i rooted my phone!!!
the buttons randomly work (i.e. sometimes when i press the buttons, it works, and some times it doesnt. The FF you Rewind the track, the Play could FF the track, etc...) its all random!
I posted a thread before and got no replies!, but its something got to do with the rooting i think. Its not H/W for sure!
I've flashed some ROMs too. It's good (and bad ) to know what im not alone!!
Doesnt anyone have a FIX for this?!
I faced this problem even I did not root my Desire HD. The problem seemed to be solved after I rooted it and flashed the rom ARHD 6.1.5. Unfortunately, I face this problem again now when I tried to flash the rom RCMix3D Runny v4.0. I think this is not a problem of HW but SW tho.
anyone have a FIX for this?!
Damaged pin? That's whats wrong with mine

[Q] Using Google Play with headphones and after 1 song next will play from phone

I've used 2 diff ROMs and I get the same result. Anyone else? If I listen continuely, after 1 track the next will play out of the phone speaker not earphones or thru aux jack when plugged into my stereo. I'm wondering if this is a ROM issue or a Play issue or S3 issue.
I get same issue on stock not rooted... no idea what it is

Running 11.0 jellybomb and have the same issue.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I have the same problem when I plug my S3 into my AUX jack in my car. It doesn't matter what app I'm using, if I change the song or any buffering happens (basically any interruption in the output) the output switches to my phone speaker. I have to unplug then plug back in the audio cable from the car's aux jack to get it to work again.
This happened on a stock rom and happens on the current "GOODNESS" SG3 ROM.
I'm on the stock ROM and I'm having the same problem, except it's when I get text messages and it gets interrupted, music starts playing from the phone and I pause and re-play it again for it to come out of headphones again.
I now have another issue...now my media sound get stuck on no sound. . Can't move the sound bar have to reset phone to get media audio. .. any help ?

Same issue here. Stock or custom rom.

Everyone should contact Google about this. They are looking into it for me, they even had me send them a log. It happens frequently, still hasn't been fixed....please, if you have the same issue as me report it so they have more cases...
According to Google Play Team they made some major changes which should have resolved the issue and to let them know if the issue persists. See the attached screenshot of my email for proof (or view full screen at http://i.imgur.com/Z8Hrm.png )

[Q] audio jack/headphone problem

I have a problem with my audio jack, it will not find headphones and if it finds one it will give several problems, or it will disconnect so i have to replug it, or it the headphone sign in the statusbar changes to a headphone with microfone and it stops the music and starts calling the last person i have called or i have been called. Or the music will play but it will randomly play other songs etc, can anyone help me or is this a problem with the audiojack and do i news to send it back to HTC to repair it?
Does the problem happen with all headphones?
And the headphones that you do use, do they have buttons on them from which you can change song, pick up calls etc?

Umm, contact HTC and see what they say, avoid going to a repair shop as they don't always know what they are doing.

I use my Nexus the same way, with an aux cable in my car. I use Google Play Music and I never have this issue. I notice it may pause for a second when I turn the screen off but after that, its all good. Is that what you mean or does it do it constantly? I also stream my music with Play Music. But I have also played some files right off my phone with no issues as well.
yes it pause then plays again goes on this way.. i just can't play my music arghh soo frustrated with it:/

So it pauses then plays, pauses then plays, pauses then plays....nonstop? I never had that issue. Maybe its your stereo.

I have the same problem. Not only with car aux but with any auxiliary device, including headphones. Also this happens with any music app, any custom ROM. Audio plays fine without anything plugged in. A solution if possible would be awesome cause its super frustrating.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
this happens a lot!!!
here's what I did:
Use a player app that has de the ability to disable lockscreen music control (like poweramp or nexmusic)
That helps with the constant interruptions when playing music. they keep happening but not so often
I hope this helps
I've seen something like this before...if you are using trickster and the headphone volume boost is on try turning it off..with my phone a setting over 1 will cause my phone to hiccup while plugged into an aux jack...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
tried trickster settings.. all are off.. still happening..
infact now with the new play music it constantly keeps on happening i have to use poweramp and it happens randomly in between .. a permanent and constant fix is needed as many are facing this problem

ok figured out the solution.. in trickster set high performance volume to off.. and other one to 3..

[Q] Bluetooth audio skips/stutters

Hi! I wanted to post about an issue with bluetooth audio i've had since ever, but now i'm using it a lot so i want to try and solve it. I used to use stock and just converted to GPE. In both cases, the same problem happens: When i connect my phone to my car speakers through bluetooth, every song stutters for a second or two, sometimes several times in the same song. By searching on the forum the only tip i found was change the read ahead value. I tried a bunch of higher values, none of them worked.
I can say that the car bluetooth works fine with an iphone, so i have no reasons to blame it on the car audio.
And of course, there's no problem when i'm playing through the phone's speakers or headphones.
UPDATE: Forgot, something else happens with music: Sometimes it sorts of goes into a higher pitch, like a higher tone or something. And makes music sound weird. this happens occasionally as well.
Thanks in advance for the help
Mine does this too, with calls as well. Very frustrating....

Yeah, i know it's awful. And i'm sure my car is fine, an iphone worked fined with it.
So i guess no one really knows anything on how to fix this. :c
