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.
Was on EH06 leak, stock rooted. Use car dock, bluetooth, and headphones often during an average day. At some point yesterday, my phone's audio became broken. I've since Odin'ed back to EC05, and its still the same issue. Most of these symptoms lead me to believe the phone always thinks there are headphones plugged in. BTW, I have tried plugging in several different headphones. Certainly seems like a hardware problem, so I'll try Sprint without insurance to see what they'll do. Appreciate any input.
What does work:
+When I get a call, the phone actually rings out of its speaker.
+Volume up key beeps out of speaker
+All audio seems to work with 3.5mm headphones connected
What doesn't work:
-In-call, speaker-call button is grayed out, unavailable
-No in-call audio. They can't hear me, I can't hear them.
-Same problem in-call for bluetooth.
-Music won't play through speaker.
-Music won't play while in car dock.
-Changing ringtones in settings doesn't play the ringtone I select (through speaker)
-When I plug 3.5mm headphones in, I'm sometimes prompted for voice search, and sometimes it automatically begins dialing a recent call.
Take it to a store
I would suggest taking it to a store and show them while being kind. Don't do telephone support because they will probably say "No insurance, no dice." If you catch the tech on their good side I'm sure they will help you out. It may be as simple as a busted contact in the jack. My friend's iPod had a problem like that.
Does anyone else use their Lumia 900 with their bluetooth-enabled car stereo?
Normally when I get in the car my phone should auto-detect and auto-connect to my car stereo via Bluetooth - but I find that it's not happening with my Lumia 900.
Anyone else seeing this issue or do I have a defective device? I never had this issue with my Focus or Titan.
I have not had a chance to use it with a car stereo, but I have had problems with connecting just a simple Bluetooth ear piece. Every now and then it will disconnect from the ear piece and I cannot get the Bluetooth to turn back on without rebooting the phone. I never had to do that with either my Focus S or Focus, although I still had the same disconnect from ear piece problem however, it would just reconnect itself rather than me having to check to make sure that the Bluetooth is on.
I do not have problems with this device and my in-car bluetooth, surprisingly. I say "surprisingly" because my car seems to be a bit temperamental in the same way that you describe in your post, with multiple phones. Had issues with the SGSII, the Surround on 7720 and on ansar's 8107 build, as well as previous phones.
Remarkably, the Nokia has auto connected every time so far.
But are you talking about streaming audio over BT, or just the voice services?
I haven't had any problems with my 900 connecting to my car. It connects and starts playing automatically.
I've noticed sound from video plays over bluetooth where with my Focus it would just play on the phone. Only problem with that is my car buffers the audio so it lags behind what you see on the screen.

Interesting. I was under the assumption that Win7 didn't allow audio from videos over bluetooth because I tried it on my focus and netflix and didn't get anything.
Hey thanks for all the input guys!
It seems to be a little flaky. Sometimes it auto-connects, and sometimes it doesn't. The good news is that it seems to be connecting more often than not.. so I can live with it now. I wonder if there's an underlying bug here..
Mine has actually been pretty solid on Bluetooth. My Jawbone Jambox, which I constantly had to fight to connect to my GNex, connects instantly every time.
Mine connects without any problem. Once I start the car engine, the phone picks it up quickly.

Same here. And can play audio from videos. Or at least youtube.
Seems a little slower for me connecting than my Samsung Focus, but once it connects, it seems to be fine.
Late arriver to this thread - I just got my Lumia 900 on Sunday.
It paired fine with my car's audio system (2011 Subaru Impreza, stock stereo), but has never once auto-connected when I start up the car.
If I'm thinking about it when I'm starting the car (not a safe bet in the morning, when I'm not thinking about ANYTHING), I can go to Settings\Bluetooth and tap on the car's entry in the Devices list - if I do that while the sound system is still searching for Bluetooth devices (about a 5-7 second window), then it connects; if I miss that window, then I have to go into the car's awkward menu system, tell it to search for my phone, and tap the phone's list item while it's doing so. And I have to do this every time I start the car, even though it's clearly NOT MY JOB...
I've seen others with this problem in various fora, and they were able to "fix" the issue by swapping out the phone for a new one that didn't do this. But I've also seen reports (even in this thread) from people saying it happened intermittently, or happened for a while and then "got better," which is something that neither hardware nor software problems usually do on their own.
Working on isolating the problem further, but I'll probably just end up swapping out the phone.
Other than that, I really like the Lumia. Gorgeous screen, just enough bigger than my Focus to make the experience pleasanter, but not so much as to feel chunky in my pocket.

Curious? Are any other phones paired with your car. There is probably a limit of 2 or 3 to auto connect.

It generally works fine with my Nissan Maxima 2010 (better than Samsung Focus or Focus S).
I have observed 3 problems:
- The car defaults to auto download the address book. If this is large, it can take 1-2 minutes before the phone truly connects. Turning off autodownload fixes this!
- Streaming music or podcasts will sometimes stutter, depending on the power state (charging, screen on or off), but clears up after 10 seconds.
- Sometimes the podcast/song info doesn't display on the screen - only play and pause. Most of the time it will show the track name and other controls on my heads up car display.

Hmmmm more or less same issues I'm experiencing with my Nissan Note 2011 - I noticed that if I play a track on my Lumia 900, pause it and then connect it to my car (via BT of course) - it will show the track details correctly.
If no track is playing and I connect it to the car and start playing any track - it won't show the track details. Other than that it works just fine and connects to my car even faster than the Nokia N85 I used to have...
I don't really mind about that displaying track details as I usually just connect to an internet radio station (thank you, TuneIn!) and listen to live streaming music (thank you, unlimited data plan! ) so that usually don't really have any details to show in the first place...
My lumia will connect to my car's hu ( alpine iva-w505 with kce-400bt) but will not sync my contacts over. My titan and quantum did...

Nope - I've deleted my old phone's pairing. This morning, I deleted this phone's pairing and tried out a friend's Lumia 900 - same issue. (I was able to do the initial pairing, but the phone wouldn't auto-connect to the stereo after either one was restarted.

Hm. My "Nope" should have been an "Ummmmm...." instead. Just solved this, I think - though I deleted the *audio* pairing between my old phone and my car, I didn't delete the *phone* pairing, because I didn't realize they were different things, accessed through completely different paths (audio pairing/deleting is done through the stereo controls and cryptic menus - phone pairing is done through annoying voice commands).
Now that I've *truly* removed all traces of my old phone and paired with my new one, auto-connect works like it used to. No blame for the Lumia here - the car's Bluetooth should have been able to give me *some* kind of hint about what the problem was....

So you all have been able to get audio to play over bluetooth? I have to plug in my aux jack in order to play music through my phone. Maybe its the way I paired it initially? 2012 Chevrolet Malibu.
Not sure where or what to search for on this issue but it's been killing me with my Nexus for the past few months.
Coming from a couple of HTC phones one thing I really liked about them, which might have been Sense feature, was the phone having two completely separate audio volumes one for when headphones were plugged in and another for when the phone was hooked up via Bluetooth.
My problem is I listen to music very low with headphones at work, then unplug them before getting into my truck, automatically hooking up to the Bluetooth to stream and the volume stays at the low headphone volume. To hear it over truck stereo I need to turn the phone BT volume all the way up. Fast forward to when I sit back down at work to listen to music, my headphone volume is back to the last BT volume or maxed out. Just a real annoyance and find it hard to believe this is the way Google designed it and has nothing in place when I'm having an off day and don't manually fix it before I listen to my headphones again and blast my eardrums like I did yesterday.
Is this how the Nexus should handle BT and Headphone volumes? Is there any kind of fix for this?
Thanks in advance
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
