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.

Can I modify the dock screen at all?

I use my dock a lot but I'm not a fan of the docking screen. I'd like to make the clock much bigger and get rid of the music album image, just leaving the music controls. Any idea of how I could go about doing this?
this is mostly what I'm talking about.

I do not believe you can change what is on this screen. WYSIWYG

is it possible? yes
but you would to heavily modify the layout of it by digging through many xml and smali files....which requires a lot of skill, that the average user wouldnt have (heck i wouldnt even know where to begin)

its an actual app (htcbeatsnotify.apk) and it only works with "real" beats, not that port

So, what's the idea to have a notification of beats audio if u do not hold the app?

beats audio is way overrated imo in general
however it will never work properly (or at least optimally) without it being supported in the kernel and the framework (as well as using beats headphones)
those mods for universal beats are mostly for show and may change the sound you hear from your speaker/headphones, but its not true beats sorry
i wouldnt worry about the notification icon in the status bar

[Mini tutorial] Beats audio in Poweramp

First of all, this isn't a system mod!
I have found the suitable EQ settings - which resemble the 'Beats' sound in Poweramp - on another forum and I'm going to post them here:

The finder of this has used an older version of Poweramp but you could enter these settings into the newest one. The author has also enabled Dolby surround in his Desire HD. So we can't fully imitate the Beats audio since our Wildfire S doesn't support Dolby, but this is the closest we have come so far. I have tested about 10 different songs with my HTC connected to my Kenwood stereo and I have to say the original 'Beats' sound is still a tiny bit deeper and more direct (Stock player vs. Poweramp; I have flashed the latest patch provided by einstein.frat). Nevertheless you must really listen for a difference to notice one.
One last thing: disable the 'Limit' option in Poweramp's EQ and set the 'Bass' and 'Treble' knobs as shown. Actually you could play with them a little bit, but don't exceed the 1/2 mark (the position of the knob's mark pointing upwards). You could leave the 'Tone' setting on, it doesn't really matter.
Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing.
There is a Stereo X for Poweramp ver 2.0.5.
So, what's the setting for this?

Thanks. Cool EQ.

can we use this in dsp eqalizer ?

OMG. What a question. Just try it. It is only EQ setting.

Thanks for sharing. This EQ settings works good for me with Beats headphones

o waw @[email protected]
man,, first of all,, you should consider not everybody has the same earphone/headphone/headset or whatever speaker like you have,, since it will make a really huge difference.

You can ask for this setting to be sent to some other server eg google drive, or for where to download it from?

Equalizer improvement.

Coming from phones that I had Awesome beats on I felt like I was missing something with the stock EQ. While it does sound good it seemed to
lack something and the adjustments did not make all that much difference in sound quality.
I had tried quite a few of my old apps that always worked but not on my Ion. While I have full intentions of going to Awesome beats I also know how its a love hate thing on XDA. Well for all of the ones who dont like all the deap boomy bass should try out MusicFX.
MusicFX is not really a app in the normal sense as it integrates into the stock EQ creating a more sensitive adjustment. It delivers a noticeable gain over the stock setting.
Two things to note: 1 if you use a app manager or auto kill you need to set it to ignore this app or it will stop working. 2 you will now have eq listing under G music menu to adjust the settings. On Pandora you just use the stock music app to adjust. Oh and make sure to go into sound and set it as the default EQ. Settings,Sound,Music effects.:good:

I just downloaded the beats audio off of play store.
It claims to install beats audio driver to the rooted phone. Worked like a charm, sounds nice, and even displays the beats audio symbol in notification bar when head phones are plugged in.

its not that good my friend..it is an app for all phones..you should try out AC!D mod..it is optimized for xperia phones....makes sound awesome..
PEACE

Does This Really Works? I Didn't Find Any Difference After Installing This! Except The Notification!

The original Walkman player with custom equalizer of your own makes the sound much more deeper and clearer, and this experience only exists on Sony stock ROM If you are using CM10 or AOKP you will never get the best quality sound even if you install AC!D Technology or Beats Audio mod
I want to share with all you guys my experience when configuring the equalizer on stock ROM It creates deeper bass and deeper sound than normal equalizer with the volume is about 60%

Stock on the newer roms is better by far. I also found this not to work as it went on. Just use the factory setup.
The app for Beats in the store make cause your eq to be locked so you cant change settings. I have not tried it on my Ion but did put it on my Incredible. It worked for the Inc but my Ion in stock form sounds better.

Question Audio Output

Does anyone know how to change the audio output to device instead of bluetooth without turning off bluetooth if there is no media controls? Why would they get rid of something as simple as the old output switch menu on the volume control.

Hit the volume up or down button. Then on the slider hit the 3 dots under the volume slider. It will bring you to another screen and then you can select where the audio comes from.

Not sure why, maybe because your rooted. Here is how it looks on my phone

The option is only there when there are media controls. If I'm playing something through Chrome or reddit is fun there are no media controls and thus no option to change it. I have to start playing a song, switch it, and then go back to chrome.

So was an answer to this -- something that used to be so easy seems now impossible. I am watching SlingTV and want to change from Bluetooth to speaker. Nearly impossible.
EDIT Never-mind -- hit the 3 dots, 2nd option is "P;ay Sling Tv ON..." hit that and then you get your choices....

Why can't you turn off Bluetooth? I feel like that is the fastest way to change the audio output in your situation. It takes about two seconds whereas swapping the audio output devices in the three-dot volume menu takes around six seconds.
On second thought, I suppose that time difference is too miniscule for it to even matter, haha.
