Headphone buttons - stopped working - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after installing xzing player, (or xing or something.. it's a music player), the headphone buttons only worked for the new music player and not the stock one.
Eg: if I press pause during the stock player, the xing player will open and start playing..
I have since removed xing but the button functionality hasn't reverted.
Are there options for these somewhere in the system? or a way to reconfigure/revert?

Unfortunately not. you can try going to the application menu, under menu/settings/applications. Navigate to the music program and touch it. It should have some options when you get into the details. something about clear defaults or something like that. You can try that. Other than that, there isn't really any configuration that I know of.
Good luck.

Solved it by reinstalling stock music app

Touchflo 3d crashes when I open the music tab

As the title says, really annoying... its been fine but now when ever I go to the music tab in Touchflow 3d, touchflo has to restart.. tried a soft reset and turning off/on, still does it.. anyone else had this problem and fixed it without a hard reset?
Had that too... try re-encoding the files.
I too have just had this problem.
I had deleted some songs from the phone and the TouchFLo player interface said tha the somgs were stil listed.
Also, I couldn't get any pictures of the album art to appear.
I used Explore via Activesync to delet all music albums, songs, album art from the 'Internal Storage' (HTC Touch Diamond) and then did a soft reset to see if that woud prompt the phone to refresh the TouchFLo madia player interface to search again and reset its list.
That's when the ******* thing started this crashing.
Windows Media player mobile is working fine.
I have many programs installed and do not wish to hard reset unelss it is absolutley necessary.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Can't really recode as I've deleted all the music files.
Cheers for now.
Only way I could get it to work more or less properly was to sync music via media player and set it to convert to wma as it syncs. I'm still looking for alternatives as syncing with wmp is a pain.
OK, I fixed it.
I had tried using WMP to sync, but it still didn't cure the problem.
For anyone who still has this problem, please try this....
1) Go into file manager on your phone
2) Navigate to My Device > Application Data > HTC > AudioManager_Eng
3) Go into the Playlists folder and delete all playlists.
4) Exit File Manager
Try the Music application again. It should now seach for music again.
The above fixed mine.
Good luck

I will bare this in mind for (I'm sure) when it happens again, sadly I got bored and did a hard reset before I checked replies here.
I got the same problem here. There are some mp3-files that seems to crash the Touch 3D Music app while it is scanning the Internal Storage. While it happens the whole Touch 3D is laggy. A very frustating bug I think. And syncing via WMP will only help when it (re)encodes the original MP3 to WMA. I think it's HTC who had to fix this bug.
On some files it helps to first remove all Mp3tags and than retagging them. So I think it must be something with the tags.
I have the same problem on my HTC Touch Pro.
after adding album art the music tab crashed.
I deleted all the music files (from the storage card) and tried what rowleav suggested than did a soft reset, but the music tab keeps craching........
This really s....
don't like to do a hard reset as I have a lot of software on it.
anyone knows a way to fix this ???
I have a 16 gb Micro SD card on the Touch Pro, and the Touch Flo player is really not up to the job. Selecting an album or a play list is okay, but I like to listen to music on random. Select all files and it can take 5-10 minutes for the player to display album covers. And sometimes it crashes.
Pocket Tunes handles this many files far better. But I can't get it set up to be the default music player with my HTC bluetooth headset. It still opens the Flo player.
WMP works okay if it is open, but doesn't have cross-fade. Which I like.
I fixed it
Only deleting the playlists like rowleav wrote did not work for me I also had to delete a file called "AudioManager_Eng.vol" (application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\AudioManager_Eng.vol)
Then a soft reset isn't needed. Just go back to the music tab and it will create the AudioManager_Eng.vol file again and search for music files.
now i have to try and add my music again to find the one causing the problems. at least it's now easy to repair once it goes wrong again
Worked!

This worked beautifully! Thanx!
I'm having the same issue - with a crash every time I go to the music tab. I was having problems deleting the AudioManager_Eng.vol file. I did a soft reset to delete the file, and now all seems to be working as it re-builds the library.
i have a similar problem but tf3d hangs when i want to stop the musicplayer and select another tab. only 'start' still works so i can stop and restart tf3d but when i finish listening to music the ritual starts over.
any suggestions ? (i removed the mentioned files but that didn't fixe it).

headset control buttons

i am having problems with my stock headsets
the control buttons dont work at all.
i cant pause/unpause or change track while listening to music
i cant pick up or hang up a call either.
anyone facing the same issues?
any fixes?
Could be two things.
Do you use a task killer? Make sure you're not killing the required service or app.
If you have installed other music players they may have taken over the controls, to overcome this you can reinstall the stock music app or w/e your using.

i've had pandora, but issues still apply to pandora as well
i've wiped and tried the headset with the music player right after before installing any other apps, and still i have the same issues
Uninstall any media player app you have installed, it could be interfering with headset clicks.
Use default media player and enable headset controls in configuration.
Put the default media player widget on any of the main screens.
If it doesn't work yet. Try installing DroidShuffle and check again.
there's also an app on the market called fix headset controls or restore music controls.. something like that which restores the head phone buttons to original.

[Q] Music Player Autokill

Is it just me? The problem is the music player autokills itself without saving its play position, no matter if I use home or back buttons.
I hear music then press pause, home button (should only suspend the app), do something else... some hours later I want to resume playing music, but the player has gone to its initial state.
Am I doing something wrong?
Never had this issue (and I use it all the time) you can try another player like doubletwist or music
Firmware issue
I didn't have this issue with the shipped firmware (JF3). Now I'm on JPM but had this with all Froyo builds.
Player version is 1.1.1.
I don't want another player...

[Q] How to stop mic button from starting media player?

I did several searches, but was unable to find an answer to this. I hope one of you can enlighten me
I recently installed the "Listen" app to listen to podcasts. When i plug in the stock headphones that come with the Captivate and then click the mic button on it, it will bring up & control the media player playback instead of Listen. Is there a way to configure the behavior of this button? Is there a way to keep it from bringing up the Media Player app and instead control the Listen app?
Thanks!
I've been having the same issue. I installed winamp, but I get the same thing.
I installed doubleTwist, and it looks like it properly takes over button so that the stock music player app is no longer launched. Does this mean Listen is not doing it right?

Remove the stock music app

It seems that I can't disable the stock music app in the app settings. I wouldn't mind it being there, however it conflicts with every other music player.
For example when I listen music in Google Music, and I press the button on my headset I would expect that GM would stop playing music, but instead the stock music app starts playing.
Also on the home screen I can't control GM, just the stock app.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Root your device and either freeze it with titanium backup or while rooted just delete the. Apk

Thanks, I've removed it, and it's almost perfect. Now the stock music app can't interfere with other apps.
There is only one small issue left but I believe there is no solution for this: The music controls on the lock screen does not work. There is no music control widget, only the one included in the lock screen, which only controls the stock app (which is not removed, so it is useless)
Anyway, now at least I can control playback from my headset. Thanks.
My music controls work on play music and Poweramp when I deleted the stock music app. My issue is that the controls work but there is no album art which I hate.
