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
Greetings!
I have the Rocketfish RF-MAB2 Bluetooth Stereo Headset from Best Buy.
When I turn the headset on and make a phone call, then hang up, the music player or Rhapsody will start.
Also, when listening to the Audible.com App, if I use the headset to pause playback, the music app or Rhapsody will start.
Very annoying!
Anyone have the same issue or know how to solve this?
At one time I thought I saw a setting for Apps automatically starting when bluetooth is connected, can not find it now.
Also, did anyone find out how to adjust volume during a call without pulling the phone away from your face?
Thanks!
Look for headset blocker in the market.
Hello,
I want my ringtone & notifier sound to ONLY go through my headphones when they are plugged in (not to the speaker). I want to hear it but I don't want everyone around me to hear it. It seems simple enough but I've been unable to find an app or hack to do it.
Thanks for your help.
Hi everyone !
When I get my Note out-of-the-box, it used to launch the stock music player each time I plugged my earphones (the one given with the note) in. But now, it doesn't do it anymore.
Have I imagined this, or how can put this option back?
Thanks
Interesting, didn't realise the stock app did that at all.
There are apps that will do that for you, or better yet use PowerAMP (best music player!).
Hi,
Using ICSSGS RC 4.2, when my earphones are plugged in notifications are still played through the phone speaker, and I won't hear them since my earphones are on.
In the stock roms, the phone would pause music and play some short beeping sound. Is there any way to get this functionality?
No one's encountered this type of problem? :/
Any suggestions if there are apps or something that would be able to mimic the behaviour? (Eg set to silent but play some sound on earphones)
