I am using the included in-ear headphones that have thre 3 button controls on the left cable. My music app is Poweramp
Since last week all controls (volume, skip track, previous track, pause, etc) started to work very spottily: for a few minutes they work ok, then they stop working altogether.
Is there any way I can test to see if the issue is with the headphones, the software or the 3.5mm jack on the phone?

have you tried the default music app and see if that shows the same issue? If that works fine then I would try uninstalling and reinstalling poweramp to see if that resolves the issue?

Use a different music app: if the problem persists, it's either the headphones or the phone hardware.
Then use a different set of headphones: if the problem persists, it's the phone hardware.
it seems that when it doesn't work, it doesn't work for any app. unplugging and plugging them back in again often makes them stop working or start working again.

Connect your phone to a stereo with a standard 3.5mm audio cable and set media volume to max. Play some music, eject the cable, plug it back in, resume playing music. For some reason the audio volume is automatically lowered. Increasing it back to max works just fine but you do get a notification saying "Loud music may harm your hearing if you listen to it for a long time" while you do that.
I only listen to music in my car using aux 3.5mm. I control volume using the headunit and this "feature" is annoying as heck.
Any way to disable the volume auto-lowering?
thats the way all of them work, also was the same on old galaxy s device. happens on ipad also.
i think the reason is they dont want you blowing your brains out when you plug your headphones in if you forgot to turn down the media volume before you unplugeed them
I've been in HTC world for past 5 years and never had a need for such feature... all I'm trying to figure out is how to disable this on my new sammy
I listen via the 3.5 port in my car and can confirm the original Epic 4G did NOT behave this way. (At least not when running stock--Voodoo drivers did do this by default but you could override them.)
It pisses me off too and the NS4G never did this when I had it. I can live with it but just annoying.
I solved it through tasker. Not elegant, but it works.
true, also a hack... solves one problem but creates another. when i DO use headphones i set volume low and taking 3.5mm out and back in resets volume to max. ouch
i wonder if there is a way in Tasker to simply re-set volume to whatever it was just before 3.5mm was inserted.
Yea, you can do this. Create a variable to hold the volume, update it whenever the media volume is changed. When headphones are plugged it, just set the volume based on the variable. Imo, this wouldn't help much though. If you insist on playing media at max volume through your car, you're still going to blow up your ears when you plug in headphones.
I'd recommend setting the volume offset on your stereo (slack on some radios, I think) to be ideal when the phone is at the reduced volume. This is what I do.

the issue at hand is a bit more complex. consider this scenario:
i'm in a car driving and someone calls me.
i pop out the 3.5mm and answer the call.
once done talking, i pop 3.5mm back in and resume music.
now the volume is NOT what it was since sgs2 lowered it automatically trying to "save" my hearing.
similar story happens when i get out of my car for few minutes and upon coming back in i constantly have to turn the volume back up.
changing the in-car headunit volume is not helping since my cell is not the only device used there. there is built-in radio, built-in cd player, other portable players, etc that i (and others) use. no need to tweak main system just because one of many devices is being an #!$le about media volume.
ugh, still looking for a right solution. i'll go ahead and try to mess with tasker but that will be just patching the problem, not solving it

Hi Guys
Strange one here.
I picked up a new van tonight with a bluetooth stereo that supports streaming audio over bluetooth so i thought i would give it a go.. music played but then kept on skipping to the next track. weird i thought and played around but couldnt get it to stop doing it.
I then dropped it into car mode (with no charger attached) and the thing will now not come out of car mode every time i press the home button it loads car mode. restarted several times and still does it. It also keeps randomly starting to play music!
When i plug in the USB cable the home button returns to its function of opening all panels preview or returning to home, but the music keeps on randomly starting... oh and now it keeps going to the panel preview by itself.
Anyone else had this? its doing my head in.. its as tho someone is controlling it!
1.28 aussie version VF branded...

if you can get into settings go to apps > all and find "car" click it and trying clearing data if that doesn't work go back and disable it, that should stop it coming up till you find a fix.
Also i believe that the "skip" on BT headphones is due to Beats Audio nopt sure if that's track skipping or just the music stopping for a seconds either way try disabling beats.
Thanks..
I disabled car app but it carried on doing it.. which was wierd. Restarted it a few more times and it carried on doing it and playing music randomly.
I uninstalled Jays headset control and it seems to have stopped it (as did pressing the power button for 10sec+) may try installing jays again... and try it.
Is jays capable of controlling bluetooth also? i will try enabling car app too.
Any one know of a headset control that allows configurable button presses but works on just the plugin headset?
when i mentioned skip.. it was actual track skip to the next track.. rather the 1.26 skip which was a noise while playing the track..
As a side note.. when i plugged the usb into the computer the 'what do you want to do' type window didnt appear as it should. With the hard restart and jays gone.. it now does!
Cheers for the reply..
Steve
OK tried it in the van this morning, and i now have NO issues.
Looks like Jays was the culprit, worked great for wired but not so for bluetooth. It now works extremely well with the car stereo with the exception that it doesnt transmit the track name etc.. but that may be the headunit (standard hyundai one)
Thanks
Steve
I have a Verizon G3 but figure this forum gets more eyeballs, and perhaps this is a universal Bluetooth issue.
I use the LG Tone+ HBS-730 headset with my phone. If I go into a music app and start playing music through my headphones with the app, no problem. But, let's say I pause music for a while, or turn the headphones off for a bit. I turn the headphones back on, press the play button on the right side, and nothing happens. The headset is still on - I can long-press a button and get the double-beep, but my music won't play. Sometimes it does, but most of the time, it doesn't. I switched from the stock Music player to Rocket Player, which has proven to be a little more successful.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere, or is this a common BT occurrence? Control is through the AVRCP BT profile, I believe. I know on my G2 I'd sometimes lose control sync with my phone, where I couldn't skip or pause the track through my headphones. This new problem seems like a magnification of that problem.
Overall, I do find the BT performance a little worse than the G2. I get more audio drops when the phone is in my pocket, but this is when I'm outside and BT is not great outside in general.
Thanks everyone - I have five days to decide if I want to return this phone, between this and some signal problems.
bluetooth connects. calls ok. media plays on device.

I come from the philippines and i have the g3 also. my bluetooth connection was fine it connected to my car and headset but now it only receives calls but does not play music through my bluetooth headphones. when i press the play button on my headset it plays on the device itself. checked under bluetooth setting and call and media and audio was checked.
my device is rooted. i did a factory reset but the problem remains unfixed. please help. i have installed g3 tweaksbox but i dont see any mods that is related to music apps. i dont know what to do. i have considered unrooting and flashing stock rom.
Also interested in this, as I have the same issue but my car.
Op, did you ever find a fix, or work around?
OP
Do you have any other BT programs loaded? I had something similar when I had the Sony app and a Garmin app loaded. Both use BT to connect to their devices and they were interfering. I removed the Garmin one and my play/pause button started working again

When playing music via Bluetooth audio the LG G3 eventually stops responding to the pause, previous, skip buttons on the Bluetooth audio device. Sometimes it randomly, but rarely, starts working again, but only very briefly before not responding again (I can get a skip in). This occurs with all types of Bluetooth devices: portable Bluetooth speaker, cars with builtin Bluetooth audio, bluetooth audio dongle receivers for cars, etc. This happens in any music app (Spotify, Pandora, Songza, doubletwist, etc.).
Any ideas?

I have an d855 with jabra rox and I can't say I ezncountered this yet try repairing the device and deleting al apps that coud intervine (musicplayers, sound improvers...)
hmmm... I know that built-in music app tends to be the default app when I press play on BT devices so I disabled that app...

Did you ever figure this out? I am having this issue on my Note 4 running FireKat V13x.
Kind of. The problem was the launcher, Aviate, I was using. It has a built in music controller (or player or something) which was probably interfering with Bluetooth. Once I switched to the default LG launcher Bluetooth audio control was functioning a hundred times better. Only problem now is sometimes there's a delay of a minute or so before the player responds to a skip or previous press. I'm just going to live with this issue since its much better than before.
So, in summary, I'd check to to see if your launcher or some other app has some music playback control function and disable it.
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.
