[Q] Disabling Headset Button Control - Verizon HTC One (M7)

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.

Songs auto skipping with headphones plugged in

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!

Music Player randomly changing songs

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.

[Q] Motorola S9-HD problems..

Hi, I'm having issues with my brand new, just bought today Motorola S9HD bluetooth headphones. I am having three issues so far:
First Issue: The headphones seem to work with the Google Music player (stock, but newest version via market), but I cannot use seek controls, play/pause.
FIRST ISSUE SOLVED BY REMOVING WP7 MUSIC PLAYER AND ONLY HAVING STOCK ON THE DEVICE.
Second Issue: While I'm listening to music, I sometimes want to make a quick call. I assume with these I should be able to hit the call button, which goes to voice commands, then I say who I want to call, and boom, done. BUT! whenever the screen is off and I'm listening to music, then click the call button, it gives me three or so beeps but never quits playing music and never goes to voice commands. THE ANNOYING SOLUTION THAT I FOUND: When I turn on the screen, I am able to click the call button and go into voice commands, call whoever, etc.
SECOND ISSUE NOT SOLVED EVEN AFTER SWITCHING TO STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER.
Third Issue: For some reason, I will get a random space (0.5 seconds to 1 second) randomly of no music, then it resumes. BUT sometimes it just all together stops playing music. I have left it for a couple minutes to see if it'll resume, but it doesn't. Then I look at the phone and it says it's still working, and the only way to make it play music through the headphones again is to restart bluetooth via the phone.
THIRD ISSUE POSSIBLY SOLVED BY USING STOCK GOOGLE MUSIC PLAYER INSTEAD OF WP7 MUSIC PLAYER. BUT SUGGESTIONS ARE STILL WELCOME.
Thanks for all your help!
2nd issue: did you tell it the first time what voice control you want to use? Like Vlingo, google voice, google search, etc.
3rd issue: no clue, mine does that too and it is annoying. I notice it gets worse if the battery is 2 or so hours without a charge.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try assigning the voice commands app.

muy issue with my Moto S(HD is that I continually have to re-pair every time I try to use them. anyone know why?
Regarding item #3, I think this is more related to the bluetooth stack on the Atrix crashing than it is related to the S9HDs. I don't have that problem with my S9HDs, but I routinely get it when paired to my car stereo. Probably happens once a week with my car stereo, whereas I've only seen it once in several months with my S9HDs. I'm hoping the bluetooth stack has been improved when we get gingerbread shortly.
I've a nokia BH503 BT headset ATM and never had those issues. It works with EVERY app on the phone, even the emulators, games and notifications sounds through the bluetooth headphones. I luv it.
Before my motorola atrix I used a Blackberry Storm + motorola S9HD BT headphones, and had exactly the same issues u report...
I have the S9HDs and I get pauses too. The thing that frustrates me is that it depends on where I have my phone. I have a jacket in wear when I bike ride that has a pocket on the inside. If I put the phone in there it constantly pauses. If I put my phone in my pants pocket it doesn't pause at all.
It seems like an easy solution, keep the phone in my pants pocket, but I wear workout type pants when riding and they are not deep pockets so I'm afraid the phone will fall out. It just doesn't make sense that the farther I put the phone from the headphones the better it works.

I use these, and play music with PlayerPro............have no issues. Don't call often with the headphones, but have not had problems with them there either.
I routinely have my phone in my pants pocket while I walk around the office listening to music, and never lose my connection.
Not much help I know, but there are I guess some of us who don't experience bluetooth issues.
I installed playerpro, and I'm liking it so far.

S9 HD's reception is really bad. And I tell you cuz I had those. I mean, u canĀ“t use the phone on your pants' pocket without lil skips... Nokias' reception rocks, and the battery last longer.
The problem with the s9 hd cutting out is reception. I have been using this headset for about 2 years while riding my motorcycle, with three different phones. They all had the same problem. With phone in my front pants pocket the problem persists. With phone in my shirt pocket, or in a backpack behind me, it never cuts out.

List of bugs for SPH-L710

First bug is the audio bug when listening to music and a call comes in music stops and music is set to resume after call and audio basically dies i have to unplug whatever is in either headphones or mp3 and play the Music then reconnect while playing it is so annoying
Second bug i encounter sometimes when i answer a call it sometimes auto ends call instantly
Third not really a bug but its difficult to take a screenshot with buttons and sometimes swiping the palm moves the page
Everybody post bugs within the phone here hopefully if it gets enough replies maybe Sprint/ Samsung will see this :0
Wifi bug in which the wifi comes back on even if turned off.. it comes on on its own..

actually thats a feature not a bug go into settings into network>more settings then uncheck sprint optimizer connection
Ha the beauty of the internet. Thought it was a bug too. I don't have any problems with the music coming back on.
I did have scenario where i used a charger and the screen would freeze. Then when I unplug the charger the screen would unfreeze.

Happy to see this posted. I was riding my road bicycle today and use Map My Ride for my biking stats while listening to music.
Well I I just got my Sgs3 and was assuming everything would go fine on my ride. Nope, didn't happen after a few miles and songs into my ride my music stopped and all audio for that matter. When I was finally done I unplugged my headphones and couldn't even get sound to come through my external speakers either using the music player or Youtube.
Finally, I tried making a phone call and my ear speaker was ringing so I switched over to my external speaker which then started working. This in turn seemed to reset the problem.
I was freaking out cause I've only had the phone for 2 days. I did read over in Androidforums.com that people are having problems with sound going out particularly in phone calls and have had to have the mother board replaced. Many users seem to be international though so hopefully this isn't the case for us and our is software related.
Also I feel like my back button lags somewhat. Not sure if anyone else notices that.
Edit: Forgot the bug that when I press home button it doesn't always take me to my main home screen, it takes me to the next one over and I did check to make sure the main home screen I want is set in the Edit home screens option.

Audio playback stopping/muting?

I'm having issues with the playback on my N5X when using headphones w/ remote. Bluetooth seems to work without issue.
The problem is, randomly, and usually within a minute of starting audio and putting the screen to sleep, audio playback will stop. Once I unlock the phone, it looks as if the OS still thinks audio is playing. If I toggle the play/pause button, I can get it to restart audio, but it does not pick up at the point where I heard the audio stop -- as if it continued playing while "muted". This occurs in at least 2 separate apps, which is why i'm thinking it's either an Android bug or possible a HW issue.
Anyone seen this?
Well I guess that answers my question...

I've had a problem playing audio using Podcast Addict over bluetooth, but it's not similar to what you're describing. In my case, playback just pauses randomly for a second or two, then continues. This can happen after 1 minute of playback, or 20 minutes. I'm assuming at this point that my problem is with the app, android 6.0 is still very new and some apps may have problems (like camera apps flipping everything upside-down).
Exactly the same issues with my Nexus 5X... Deezer and Podcast Addict. Music starts but as soon as the display is turned off, approx. one minute later the sound stopps but when I turn the phone on again the player looks like still playing... Very annoying... Have you changed someting like the "lock when power button is pushed" option ore anything which is connected to the display?
Same here with Spotify... I find that I have to unplug and replug the headphones, hit pause, then play again. :/ Have you tried disabling Doze for your music player? It may have something to do with that, but I haven't experimented with it yet.

Yes I Had this problem. Mine did the exact same thing as yours. I rebooted the phone and it seemed to fix the problem. I can't tell if I would have had the problem again because I sent my phone back the next day for a replacement. My WiFi was terribly slow so they are sending me a new 5X.
I'm having the same problem when I use Google Music. I don't even have to turn the screen off. Did you have any luck figuring the problem out?

Yes, I did deselect "Power button instantly locks". I'll try putting it back to the default to see what happens. I know this has nothing to do with the "Smart Lock" state, because it happens even when I'm away from home.
Otherwise, I've found nothing that solves the issue. It's very annoying. The good thing is it probably only happens 10% of the time when I turn off the display with audio playing.
Yeah it's happening every single time I play music. Driving me crazy
Having the same problem. Seems to only happen when I'm doing something that would trigger the motion sensors. So when walking, all audio gets muted within a few seconds of me starting to walk, then stays muted. However, if I pause the audio, after 10 seconds I hear a pop (like the sound of a speaker turning off or something similar) and audio is available again. Exact same thing happens when I'm biking. If I'm stopped, music will continue until I start biking again, pause music, ten seconds later pop, resume. Everything is fine until I stop again, then repeat.
This isn't a problem when I take the subway, or a bus.
It's not just music that's muted though, all notification noises and alarms are also muted. The phone thinks the volumes are all where they're set, but won't play anything either over headphones, bluetooth or the speaker.
A reboot has not fixed my issue. System logs haven't revealed anything. Since this doesn't seem to be a super widespread problem, I'll be RMA'ing this one and hoping it doesn't happen on my next.
I'm not the only one
I have similar issues with mine, using podcast addict and YouTube with either wired headphones or wired aux jack.
What I find weird is that I am able to continue watching the video but without sound. I am unable to reliably replicate the problem but it always happens very quickly in the car using the wird aux input.
Sometimes the headphones will be fine for a long time while I'm sitting still and other times it will seem to stop even if I have no motion happening or have not touch the headphones.
Would be interested in trouble shooting this please advise.
Putting my phone away without turning off the screen seems to make this happen less. However, since this doesn't seem to be a super widespread problem, I've RMA'd my device. Not interested in starting out with a broken handset.
Been happening to me too - think since the MDB08L update. I just turned off Google Now 'Always On' and my podcast is playing fine (so far, lol). Not ideal because I do use OK Google, but continuous audio playback is way more important to me. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon. How can we report issues like this to Google?
Interesting. I use Nova Launcher and switched off Google Now 'Always On' in the phone settings, but left it enabled in Nova Settings 'Gestures and Inputs'. I can still say 'OK Google' on any screen and so far the audio is playing without stopping every minute or so.
Getting this too. Was out running earlier with headphones in, stopped playing randomly five or six times but found skipping track made it work again. At home, had it on loud speaker, got 5 seconds in but it froze, skipped track and got 3 seconds, skipped again and just got 1 second. Gave up after that..
But it works fine when connected to a bluetooth speaker or my car!

I tried this - switched off the "Always On" option. Went for a 40 min run tonight with music on through headphones and it didn't stop playing once.
Even now, got the phone playing through loudspeaker and it's having no problems!
Exact same issue here .
Audio playback stops but device still thinks its playing ie speaker icon on top bar. Sometimes stopping app and restarting helps other times no joy. I have also heard the short pop sound when it stops.
So far has happened in Youtube, google music and in some games. Also intermittent loss of text alert tones too.
Only sure fire way to reset is to restart phone.
I shall give the switching google now always on off trick see if this helps and report back (never use it anyway but still it shouldn't prevent audio)
Try a reboot

I did more searching online and found enough other people are having a similar to think that there's something going on with the software. One post on a nexus 5 X subreddit had talked to Google support and went through a process of a safe mode boot as well as a reboot. I have not tried a safe mode boot but a reboot has resulted in the best playback experience I have had since owning this phone. No interruptions in audio for the last several hours . I'm on Verizon and have not received any updates as far as I'm aware. I am hoping that this will last.
My phone updated yesterday... I'm not sure but I haven't run into this problem yet with the new update. It has only happen 3-4 times before the update but we'll see

After updating yesterday, I had it occur again this morning with video playback and the audio muting. So wouldn't be too hopeful, sadly...
