The button on the headphones is too ingrained with the media player.
When I am listening to a podcast with Google Listen, and I pause it, it pauses just fine.
But when I press the button on the headphones (sony ipod compatible ones or the ones that came with the captivate), Listen starts back up, but so does the built in media player. I end up with Rich Eisen talking about Mike Vick and 10,000 maniacs at the same time.
I checked in the media player settings, and there is nothing for the button function.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Greetings everyone!
I recently purchased a Samsung i9000m with Bell Canada. Thankfully I have not had any major problems with the phone, but there is one large annoyance I have discovered: Whenever the headphones are plugged in, pressing the button on the headphones cord starts the Music Player app. Additionally, removing the headphones also starts the Music Player app. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour from their phone? Is there a way to stop this irritating "feature"?
My phone is currently all stock/not rooted, except that I recently upgraded the firmware to JH2 (this behaviour also existed on the previous firmware).
Many thanks in advance,
Matt
The first feature is intentional. ( Why else would you press the button again? )
I don't get the second. ( It does pause when I pull it out, and it starts playing if I have that setting on, when I put it in. )
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure I was clear. Anytime the music player isn't running (i.e. after turning on the device), unplugging the headphones will load the music player. Similarly, pressing the button on the headphones (i.e. to answer an incoming call while I'm driving my car) will also start the music player!
Basically I want the music player to only load when I choose it from the apps page or home screen...I almost liken it to a weird version of "autoplay" from windows computers...I wish there was a way to turn it off with a simple check-box!
Can confirm that unplugging any cable from the headphone plug will open the music player app.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well that makes two of us....I guess that means I'm not imagining things!
Doesn´t open Musicplayer when plug out the headsetcable on my SGS. Maybe you have any other music player widget or app installed?
I saw that also. Better yet, even killing the app with autokiller, adter a few seconds... there she was again playing.
I was in transit that tine and could not investigate the problem. Didn't use musicplayer much lately so don't know if the problem still exists.
For me the trigger was the headset button. Click that sucker and you have an annyoing Musicplayer that returns from the deads.
yeah very annoying. i was just testing the tv out and it still starts it when unplugging the cable.
Just a FYI.
You'll get the same effect when using a Bluetooth Stereo headset
1 tap to wake up the phone
2 tap to launch the music player
double fast tap to skip to the next song
1 tap long hold to call last number dialed
... and there are more tricks, but that's usually what i do
Alright, i remember back then, around CM7 #48, I can call my friend and listen to music, via the standard music player in CM7. However, the CM7 now is unable to do that. Is there any idea how to enable it?
What i meant was: I start to play my music, then my friend called, i answered. The music continues to play via the ear piece. however, the music volume is lowered down. which means, i can listen to a soft background music while my friend is talking.
Cheers
Hi
Something a little weird with my Optimus 2x. When I have bluetooth headphones connected, sometimes I loose all volume control. Today I was hitting the volume on the headphones, and it wasn't changing. When I turn down the volume on the phone, the sound dips to really quiet for a second or two, then jump back up to where it was.
My headphones are HELIUM DIGITAL HDBT-700
Any thoughts?
Thanks
So, I found out the problem is the Power Amp app. Everything works fine when I use the stock music player.
That's unfortunate; Power amp is a good player. Also the stock music widget is pretty ugly.
Is there a replacement for the stock music widget?
i know of phantom music control, and there's probably more.
phantom music control is compatible with most media player apps, has several button themes, and has the ability to hide itself when no music is playing.
STRANGE BUG
The first time I faced this issue, I ignored it, but this issue cropped up again yesterday while I was listening to music.
Issue - I am using Player Pro as the music player on my HTC One. When I play music through the Player Pro application, the music starts at a very deafening volume level when using headphones. Even the volume rocker is of no help. I tried reducing the volume and I reached the last point on the music volume scale, but the music sound level was not reduced.
I then tried using the stock player to listen to music and it very well responded to the volume rocker and I could control the level of the music. What could be wrong here? Is this a bug?
Another instance, I connected my Bluetooth headset (Dell BH200) to HTC One and was listening to music on the same player " Player Pro". As usual the same problem, the volume rocker doesnot control the music level. I then tried to reduce the volume through the control of my bluetooth headset and I was able to reduce the volume.
Could this be issue with the player or the phone.
This same apk file which I used to install the app Music Pro to listen to music on my HTC One was used to install on HTC Desire S and it worked FLAWLESSLY! I was very happy with the player. What could be wrong here?
I am filled with red hot rage whenever I switch apps which use sound (music player, video player, game) and the volume is different. For example, I was listening to music on max volume with my headphones on this morning while walking to work. At work right now I'm testing apps with the volume all the way down so I don't bug my colleagues, but in one of the tests I needed sound. So I plug in my headphones, the music player kicks in and it's played at max volume. I have the music player set to autostart when I plug in headphones for other reasons, but why doesn't it take on the volume I've just set? Why does it need it' own volume setting?
Is it possible to have a module which just uses one volume setting for all apps? You lower the volume to 50% in MX player, it stays on 50% in Poweramp, Trials, Elevate or any other app.
AFAIK, this is not a standard Android behavior. Looks like your player app is trying to remember the last volume
setting it was playing with to later use it when it starts again. Try taking it up with the app developer.
If that's the case, there should at least be an option within app for such behavior.
It's been my experience that if you have the volume ALL the way down (vibrate), plugging in the headphones will turn the volume up. If you just have your volume low but not all the way down, plugging in the headphones won't change the volume. That's just anecdotal, though, so maybe I'm wrong. Is that consistent with what you're experiencing?
