Hi all,
this one is pretty amusing at times, but mostly frustrating. So I have a this HTC One which was shipped with Android 4.1. Everything was great. Then I updated to 4.2 using the normal "check for updates" procedures.
Now, whenever I hang up or ignore a call, my MP3 starts playing. Systematically. Sounds like a bluetooth issue (most of my calls are dealt with through my bluetooth headset). I uninstalled the bluetooth app (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC), reinstalled, deleted and re-paired the device. No luck.
I can;t find anywhere a "playback" setting of any kind. Google-is-my-friend tells me I'm not the only one with that issue but so far, no solution.
If anyone has a clue, aside reverting to 4.1, I'd be grateful as this is quite embarrassing when you're in a meeting and you ignore the call... (good thing I got rid of my heavy metal MP3 files...).
Thanks,

I did get a chuckle on this one. The only suggestion I have would be to download a 3rd party music player, check it as the default player, and see if that helps.
Woops sorry buddy I didn't mean not to reply, just been busy. So yeah this is amusing at best. So I uninstalled all apps related to the headset, rebooted once more, and voila ! No more MP3.
As to why it ever happened in the first place, I'm as puzzled as you on that one.
Cheers though,
Well I spoke too early... randomly, after I hang up, there comes the music...
I considered slapping the phone on the wall but that's not very viable.
I went through all the settings for the phone, the music player, the bluetooth headset, I can't figure this one out.
Any ideas you want to throw at me, please do. Thanks,
I think I've been able to narrow it down. I think it only happens (but I have to confirm this) when the "car" application is on. However in the settings I can't see "resume music after a phone call" or something similar.
I think it's the "Car" application, however it's called, because the way the "play forward stop pause" buttons look similar to what's on the screen when the music starts playing... it's a long shot I know.
Do you allow your headset to be a control for the music player? If so, using the headset to hang up may well start the music playing.

Hello
I have recently experienced quite unpleasant problem with my G1 - basically, every time I receive a phone call or text message while listening to the music, the music player shuts itself down and when I open it again, it doesn't seem to play any music (even tho it looks like the song is actually playing, you cant hear anything).
Can anyone advise what could cause it? I've tried 3 different music players, every one of them appear to be subject of the same problem ;/
most likely because you've activated a sound notification on sms and call..ringtone obviously
Hmm, it happens in both silent mode and normal mode, if that's what you meant.
Any audiomods?
Hmm, none that I'm aware of, I've only even installed JesusFreke rom and that was it.
I'm fine with the music being paused when a call comes in, but it really bugs be that it stops (and then resumes) for everything: SMS, Calendar, E-Mail, general notifications, etc.
I guess Android simply can't handle multiple audio streams at the same time. We need PulseAudio for Android
Have you guys tried meridian from the market? Its all i've used since i got my g1 so cant comment on other music players, but when im listening to music and i get a call it stops, but as soon as i hang up it picks back up right where i left off... as far as text messeges and the such goes, the notifaction sounds right over the music and it never stops playing.
Im currently on soulife roger, but ive had jf when it was 1.0, dudecake, dude roger, cyanogen, and so on it they all reacted the same way. Ive also had stock and audio mods and all still same as far as this issue...

I've tried it with default music app, and it does not have that problem. So I guess it's app specific. I already got in touch with the developer of DoggCatcher.

Hi,
The stock music player stops (actually pauses the music) randomly on my Samsung SGS, usually after around 30 mins of playback. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
I'm running 2.2.1 XXJPY on an unlocked 8GB SGS.
I certainly didnt have this issue. Are you using the headphones for listening to music?
Maybe, IMO, the headphones are loose and it is coming out. whenever you pluck out the headphones from the phone, the music pauses.
The headphones appear to be attached quite securely and most of my listening is done at work sitting at a desk. I'll try a different set of headphones though and see if they make a difference.

I am getting this as well even without headphones plugged in. Seems to be random - it can happen within 5 minutes, or it can play for hours without stopping.
This also happens to me, same with Power Amp, Music Mod, and the stock player. It just randomly stops playing every so often, it's very annoying.
I only listen through headphones and I have seen other threads that suggest it is something to do with the contact on the headphones but they are always securely fit in, and it happens on my brother's phone as well.
Most likely it has to do with the contacts.
Try to twiggle the plug a bit while listening to something. If music stops it's the plug.
I experience this issue with PowerAMP and the plug for my car stereo, when i just rotate it completely plugged in.
Anyone have anything else to offer on this? I know it's not a headphone connection issue as it happens when using bluetooth in the car as well. It happens with Poweramp, Listen and Audible so I guess it must be something to do with it killing the apps or something? It drives me mad!
I was experiencing this issue a year and a half ago when I owned an HTC legend. It happened then on stock rom and also CM6.
I've owned my SGS for about 8 months now and have experienced this bug on every rom I've tried (froyo, KC1, KG3, now CM7).
I've looked at the log files when this happens and it simply says something to the effect of "cannot read from source" or "premature end of file." (I can't remember exactly). Strange thing is, the music is only paused, I can hit play and resume right where it stopped, so there is obviously no issues with reading the file. It also happens when I'm listening to podcasts in google listen.
I've learned to live with it.
Also about the headphones, I use the external speaker when rocking my baby daughter to sleep sometimes and it happens then too.
thanks for sharing: I get this periodically and wasn't sure what was causing it

Ive tried searching the forums and google and cant really find a similiar problem. When I plugged a headset in my music plays horrible and my in call volume is garbage.
If i go into settings and sound then volume there are 3 options. media, ringtones, and alarms. ringtone and alarms blow my ears out via the headset so i know it works but the media one is really low. It's as if something isn't turning on properly during calls. like its not in stereo.
im using android revolution 3.0.1 and it worked prior to this. im open to suggestions. ive tried DSP manager, and all my volumes are jacked. what am i missing to get this to work.

I listen to music every day with stock player and other players. No such problems with my unit. Did you try different headphones? Inserted all the way in?
Seems like a headphone jack issue. The jitters, random pauses & song skips I experienced all of them when I used a cheap headphone on my old HTC device. replaced it with the official one and it worked flawlessly.

I'm having the exact same problem with my new HTC one. The HTC does have headphone jack issues because my jawbone up does not work with it. However, I'm using a very good set of cans so it's not a headphone quality problem. If they do only work with stock or beats then the phone is going back.

having this issue with skullcandy 50/50s. Wizdroid, headset blocker, poweramp headset controls off. Nothing fixes it.
Same here, Using an Parrot Zik.... over bluetooth with beyondpotcast, poweramp etc.. Got the impression it's caused by other processes going on im the background.
Update, Just tested it with airplane mode on, no jitters then.
Okay, I think I have this issue. At first I thought it was the custom rom, then I thought Pandora was buggy, cuz it would skip six songs and cause me to hit my limit. Also, volume rockers didn't work right, sometimes pressing the volume would open the voice search or make a phone call, or more likely the phone thought I was holding down a headset button. I'll give Headset Blocker a shot.
Other than this, my phone is perfect.
I have this problem intermittently. I was on a plane recently and the songs would play for a minute or something and skip or stop. However right now it doesn't do it. I am using stock headphones. It also does it with other media players, not just stock. I thought I had found some feature on the phone to change the songs but no, it does this and I have no idea why.
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem with my HTC One. When I'm using the stock headset it fast forwards, skips the music in all audio players but when I plug in standard headphones without a mic, sennheiser cx300ii, all those issues disappear. Right now I can't say if its the faulty socket on the phone or the headset problem since I don't have any other headsets with a mic to test it with.

I think you may be getting on to something. I made a few calls with the stock headphones recently and it was popping and crackling like crazy. Unusable. Maybe defective headphones.

Yea, the few calls I made had the same result. Everyone who I spoke with using the headphones said that they can't hear me clearly and there is a lot of noise.
found my fix.
Hi all,
I discovered I have this problem while I was at the gym. I tried downloading the Wizdroid app but that did nothing for me. I then tried to use a different set of headphones with and without a mic and that solved the problem.
Seems like the control button and mic on my HTC headphones has broken, which is a shame 'cus they were good headphones
Hope this helps.

After a certain amount of time, or opening a certain app, the phone will develop this annoying speaker pop on some screen clicks. I haven't figured out what causes it yet but it happens even when the phone is set to "total silence". A reboot always fixes it. I had my screen clicks enabled but have turned them off and rebooted and everything is fine now. If I figure out which app or circumstances cause it, I will post the fix.
I'm having the same issue. Happens during app launch for pretty much all my apps.

Reboot fixes it temporarily. If you notice it happens after the speaker goes dormant. If the speaker is making continual sound it won't do it. Once to goes to make its first sound after sitting, it pops. Even does it on silent. Don't know what is triggering it yet.
Supposedly someone has done a FDR and no longer has the issue.

I've noticed this as well. When scrolling through my FB or IG feed, any time a video starts playing (even with the sound defaulted to off), I hear a tiny lil speaker pop. It doesn't particularly bother me all that much, but I definitely noticed it.
I was thinking about it the other day and noticed it sounds a bit like a static pop. Kinda like when you plug a guitar into an amp when it's on. Might be some sort of initiation for the speaker. As long as it doesn't affect anything else or causes damage, I'm not too bothered by it. Especially hearing that it's as widespread it is.
hey guys ive figured out what is causing it but the solution might be some sort of software patch.
its the act of connecting to a BT device and then streaming audio like XM/Google music ect. once you disconnect the pop/snap sound appears on all things that activate the speaker. the twitter pull down is the best thing to test this with but it happens on all sounds from the first time you play a song/video to changing a ring tone ect.
here is a video of the sound. ive tried it on both my cars BT, a bose standalone BT speaker, and even and old FM transmitter and all the BT devices cause the pop once they are disconnected.
the reason why its happening is a little over my head but I was thinking something with DRM possibly?
another thing i discovered is it does not happen on the non Force regular Moto Z. I tested the exact same scenarios on it and it does no speaker pop
I was going to return my phone for another but this thread and a few others makes me think its a full on bug with the Force not a bad phone out of the box
ive tried a simple network reset clearing BT but that didnt work. before I try any luck with a factory reset or is it a waste of time?

Well it makes sense why I've never heard it then...I've have not had my phone connected to a Bluetooth device
Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
I have confirmed today that it definitely is not "mod" related. I haven't had my JBL hooked up in 48 hours and there has been no pop. I drove to work today listening to music through my truck speakers using bluetooth. Pop is back. @MCN1SMO was right, it is bluetooth related. The only way out is to reboot. LAME.
Just my two cents on the topic, I am not having this issue, however, I do use bluetooth daily, my phone has been on continuously for almost two weeks now. I work outside so use the JBL speaker and have my phone in my shirt pocket listening to music while working. I keep it at about 80% volume for battery life. I am averaging about 6 hours of listening a day.
Also I have my bluetooth connected to the work truck (Ford Sync) to and from work which includes a 4 hour commute home on Fridays and back on Sunday nights to the town I stay in during the week. I have yet to hear any kind of pop from either the JBL or device speakers.
Personally I keep bluetooth off when I am not connected to a device I am not sure if this has any effect or not but it could be worth testing if you are able to replicate the problem. I have been taking off the speaker when not using it as well, but have left it on a few days.
I do also remember reading about an issue with Pandora and bluetooth. I am not sure if Pandora is what you are using or not, if it is try something else and see if the problem persists. I stopped using Pandora a few years back when I was a mechanic and had a bluetooth adapter for a code scanner for cars. If I opened Pandora I would have to reset before the adapter would operate normally.
