[Q] Control music player with screen off

I discovered - by accident - that if you long-press the volume down button with the phone asleep, it starts the default audio player. This is actually a little annoying as I've managed to start it several times without meaning to, and I don't use the default music player anyway.
Is there any way to disable it? I've searched but to no avail. I can see how it might be useful, but I'd like the option to choose whether it does it or not.
I'm running ARHD.

U can disable it:
Manage Apps -> All Apps -> Tip Music & Music Optimizing & Music Widget -> Tip Stop & Disable

Thanks for your reply forsaked, but that hasn't solved it...

Have you got installed the leedroid tweaks. It was an option in that. You can disable or remap the volume down button to previous track as well.

Wondering, cause i solved it that way!
And u disabled all 3 Applications?

I had same problem on Leedroid.
I had a tweak enabled that i didn't need.
Leedroid Tweaks -> Lockscreen -> Media Control and untick it

FTR, I'm on ARHD 5.1.1...
The only way to stop it was to completely disable the built-in Music app. I searched through the app for options, but there was nowhere to disable anything to do with the lock-screen media control. The number of times I've had music randomly start on my was unreal it was annoying.
I usually use ³ for music on my phone anyway, but the Music app had a nice feature where I could play music stored on my phone via my PC over WiFi. I guess if I want to do that, I can always re-enable the Music app. Seems strange there's no way to turn it off.

Just discovered this thread. This is one really annoying behavior. Has anyone by now discovered another way to disable this?
Disabling the music app is working, but it also disables support for Beats Audio.

I have the music app disabled but it hasn't stopped Beats Audio working:

Uhm, okay, now it's working here as well... Don't know what I did when the beats icon suddenly disappeared. :S

[Q] Xperia ZL problems

Hello I know this is a website for moding phones, which I plan to eventually do however My Xperia ZL is on the stock ROM atm and is 4.4.2 OS. I am having two problems and would like help deciding if it is software or hardware related. First my device will randomly turn itself off and restart from once to 40 plus times whenever I restart my phone. Once it finally stops restarting though, usually after 3 days max it works fine until I restart it again it will not restart on me if i am talking on it or using it. I also have an audio playback problem that occurs in both streamed songs from pandora and using the walkman or google apps on the phone. Both through headphones and the external speaker the audio will cut out and a screech or some other noise will come out and then the song will continue again. Any assistance will be appreciated thanks.

Hey, there seems to be mixture of hardware and software problems. To isolate the issue, have you tried doing a Factory Reset ?

My OP3 keeps opening the music player in the notification without reasons(OOS 3.2.7)

Hi,
I have my OP3 for 2 weeks, but there is something strange, the phone is opening the music player in the notification without reasons, sometimes when I'm scrolling across an app or while I lock the phone. At least 2/3 times per days !
But it doesn't launch the music, it just open the music player in the notification.
I'm using full STOCK phone, I disabled the next/previous music gestures, didn't changed anything !
If someone could help me for that it would be nice ! Is it a know software issue ? Maybe I would have a hardware issue ?
Thanks !

This won't be much help but sometimes PowerAmp did that too on CM13 for absolutely no reason, with BT off, so it wouldn't have connected to the car stereo. Wish I could figure out why

Could it be hardware related ?

I have been having the same problem for a long time and I have always been on OxygenOS(currently running the Open Beta 7). I always thought it was a problem with Saavn but I didn't look for an alternative or a solution since I had paid for its pro service. This now seems to be a general problem...

Edit: Never mind, somehow I missed that you already tried this, sorry.
Disable the "Music control" from Settings->Gestures and see if that helps. I had the music player opening a couple of times when leaving locked phone on the table, I guess my fingers touched the screen and phone thought I was drawing the music control gestures

Still happning on the Beta 7 ?
How is it possible ? It's not software solvable ?

Because if it's a hardware issue that I couldn't fix then I would like to know it and maybe push back the phone before the end of my 15 days return.

I had a similar issue where Google music would start by itself, even with gestures disabled. I uninstalled gm updates, cleared all cache, reinstalled gm. So far so good. However, just today another perhaps unrelated problem: music is routed through external speakers while listening over the same wired headphones. I made sure plugged in all the way, it only worked by removing and reinserting them.

I already disabled gestures, didn't changed anything. This morning when I woke up the music player was again in the notification, whereas I didn't touched the phone during all the night. And this happen even when I'm using the phone.

Well, this seems to be a GM issue. I have Spotify on the phone and it's only launch the stock music player.

Songs on sw3 music app are imcomplete

Syncing songs from Z5 compact to SW3 using Sony music app via Bluetooth has never really worked reliably. Songs on watch end up either being complete or 3 minutes or 10 seconds long. 1,5 years now with this issue. Suggestions?
Google music updates changes too slow and also never deletes songs I delete from device, so I rather not use it unless no other choice.
Wear media app I believe doesn't support playlists.
I use music bee for syncing music on my computer to the z5
Thanks!

I have the exact same issue about the first few songs are like this and I cannot find a work around it. Maybe deleting and syncing again might work. If you have the beta music app like I do then maybe somethings up with that. Im using an Xperia Z2 Marshmallow existenz rom locked bl and my sw3 also has a custom rom and four core custom kernel. It is a wierd issue, I have around 40 songs not all are like this though.

Dirty plug. Corroded plug, etc. Check the plug and clean it, also check the inside of the plug, and clean it.

I'm facing the same situation: after July update headphones are not working as it should. First I thought my left earbud or some internal part of the phone was broken but now that you said, it make much sense. I just tested my earbud on a different device and it works properly. (I'm using the same earbuds since day one with the phone). I cant imagine what it could have happen besides a july update issue.

Did you update to the latest august version yet? Is the problem still there?
If the problem still persists, go to accessibility settings, switch sound to MONO, that should level out both channels. If the problem still persists, the problem is hardware. If it doesn't switch mono off, and check the balance settings in any Sound FX app you may have on your device.

Installing the Sony Music from Play store revealed a hidden SoundFX app. Maybe something messed with that. Download the Sony Music App, go to settings and click on Sound Effects, or whatever the function is called. Check the balance volume from there.
Also, try installing Noozxoide from app store, I use that for audio reprocessing and I'm extrmely happy with it, maybe that could reset the volume through reprocessing.
Also, what do you use to listen to music or sounds? Maybe that specific app has balance settings and got messed with.

I use spotify and I don't think that app can mess up with my volume balance
