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.
Hello all. I have a Telus provided stock S3. My headphone jack has started having issues and I'm not sure if it is due to the firmware upgrade that Telus rolled out a few weeks ago or not because it has been at least that long since I last used the headphone jack (I think). On the old firmware the phone used to have a little icon in the notification bar when I plugged them in. Now, it does not do that. It also doesn't seem to be redirecting the sound to the headphones, although I think it may half recognize that they are plugged in. I say this because if I load a youtube video, it plays on the main speaker, and then I plug in the headphones, and while the external speaker goes silent there is nothing coming through on my headphones. I have rebooted the phone. The headphones are known good. Help?
EDIT So, apparently, even though I combed the main settings menu, somewhere on this damned phone (and I mean that lovingly, I just wish the settings were all in one gd spot) there is an option to mute the headphones. How did I stumble upon this? I went to test out the headphone issue by playing a video I recorded with the phone with the headphones plugged in and, lo and behold, on the video, I see an option for volume which was set to mute. Turned it off mute (how it ended up on mute in the first place is beyond me) and it is fixed. I have no bloody idea where else this little icon is located in the vast menus on the phone, but hopefully this will help the next poor soul with the same issue.
tl;dr: Played video recorded with phone with headphones plugged in, found there is a headphone mute setting. Who knew?
I've noticed that I get a lot of noise in the background whenever I'm using my speakers or headphones to play music, and occasionally will get a loud screech for a split second. I thought it was the speakers, but I tried it with a brand new headset and the same thing happens. Anybody know what causes this and how do I fix it?
EDIT: I guess the sound was because I had fast charging enabled and was charging the phone, the sound went away after I unplugged it.

I don't know if this has been already reported, it's not a screen waking up in pocket issue. I don't have the version with dt2w.
When I go jogging, the phone randomly skips or pauses tracks, raises volume (never lowers). I use Pulsar music player but it happens also with other players. I have disabled battery optimiziation for these apps but it happens also with optimization on. It happens both if I keep the phone in a pocket or in my hand, sometimes even when I am looking at it and I'm sure the screen is not waking up.
Any idea? I am thinking to perform a factory reset or eventually root and install a new Rom, which ones are recommended for stability and bug-free?
Do you have a case on? Perhaps case is partially pushing buttons? I had this happen on a previous device
Mmmmm, yes I do have a case. I will try without it. But anyway, that would only explain the raising volume, not the playback pause or the song skip (afaik there's no key combination for that).
I've experienced this on my Daisy. If that happens, unplug your earphones then plug it back in. Check if the headphones symbol on the phone have a mic on it. If it does, unplug it then plug it in again until it does not have a mic. This happens when you plug-in an earphone, or any 3.5 jack for that matter, that does not have a microphone and the phone recognizes it having a microphone. Hope this helps!
It happens to me as well, but I think the problem has something to do with the proximity sensor. As long as I keep the phone with the screen facing my leg, my player randomly pauses and skip tracks. If I turn it around, the problem disappears. I think it has to do with DTW.

Thanks to your suggestion, I noticed that when I first plug the jack in, it's detected as without microphone. Then I start jogging, the audio pauses/skips/volume up, I take the phone out of my pouch and I find the earphones now is detected as having the microphone.

That was the first thing I thought, but to me it happens both with the phone facing my body or outside.
Combining yours and my feedback, I think I found out where the problem is. Apparently, the jack slot in this phone is not so solid so when you shake the phone running or whatever, the jack "moves" inside the slot. This causes the phone to lose headset connection and therefore pausing the music and likely also wakes up the screen and causes the track skipping. As for the volume raising, I still have to figure it out.
I will try bluetooth headsets on my next run and report back here.
With bluetooth headsets, there's no issue at all. The problem must actually be the "shaking" jack.
I've also encountered this problem with my own headphones. I solved it by putting just a little amount of tape on the part I circled in the image below.
The headphones take a little to be recognized by the phone (just a few more seconds) but after doing this the problem was gone.

Hey anyone have any audio issues on this phone or possibly another MIUI device? Here's what I'm getting:
Usually, I plug in my headphones and right away I get great volume and my player auto-plays. But as it keeps playing the music pauses for a second and then resumes automatically. The headphones icon disappears in the notification area for that time when the music stops. I thought it may be Poweramp's issue but the same thing happens in the default MIUI Music app. (Playing MP3s from SD card - haven't tried streaming apps yet.)
If I unplug and replug the headphones from the audio jack, the same thing happens still. But after I unplug and replug a bunch of times, eventually the music suddenly starts playing at about half the volume it was initially, and the problem no longer occurs! To clarify, the volume is still set to 100% but the actual output volume is only half as loud as it was initially when the problem occurs.
There's no MIUI audio settings I can find that could be responsible for this.. Any ideas??
This happened to me too, the problem is in outdated headphones jack. Try a few other ones, the newer versions of the handsfree will fit accordingly.

Interesting. Just to clarify, you're saying that the device I'm plugging into my phone (headphones) is the problem, right? It would make sense why other speakers I've plugged in haven't had this issue.. I wonder why it'd be happening since I've never run into this issue with any other phone and I've had these headphones for many years now.

Yes the device is fault. When you plug in the jack, the headphone icon starts blinking right? it goes on and off and keeps on until you force it to play some song.. I had been using my favorite headphones for 1.5 years and i had to buy new ones when i bought this phone because they wont work properly.
