Searching for the same problem with other gear owners but can't seem to find it:
When I use the media controller on the gear I can only change volume up/down but no track skip or play/pause.
Tried this with stock player and also spotify.
Both my phone and the gear are full stock unrooted devices, phone running on android 4.3 MK6, gear on na6.
Smart switching isn't working either.
Any tips what to do? Tried null already, no difference.

It's fickle at best. Sometimes I hit Play and nothing happens, other times it works and always starts playing the stock audio player.
Have you tried starting media on the phone first and then attempting to change tracks or pause on the Gear? I have been more successful that way and usually use it when flying (as I am right now) to control Google Play Music or the stock video player on my S3.
Another observation - sometimes when I use the media controller, the album art shows up, other times it doesn't. For the same track. Sometimes the title and artist show up for a few secs, sometimes it goes straight to the five buttons.
As I said - fickle
Running Null19 and S3
Hmmm...never had any problems on my s4 - works perfect (controls and album art). Using stock music player as I assumed that is all that worked

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
Hi!
Has anyone else had this strange phenomena with Galaxy S and GPS? Randomly the music player stops playing music while I'm training and using Runkeeper with heavy GPS usage. Same thing has happened with three different players, PowerAMP, Winamp and stock player. Player just pauses the music being played. Sometimes it happens several times during my workout, sometimes maybe once.
Any help appreciated thanks!
This happens to me constantly. Doesn't matter which player I use the music stops once I hit the home screen button.
I'm running the bell froyo jk3 rom.
This also happens a lot to me no matter what music app I use. I generally listen to music in the car with the phone in my pocket so I'm not sure if particular gps software is being used while I'm moving, even if I'm not using Maps or Navigation.
i tested out Act 1 video player on my evo, it ran fine. so i bought it to use on the g tablet when it finally came in. so i tried out a few roms and decided on tnt lite 4.4. i loaded up act 1 from the market and ripped a dvd to mp4 and played it. the volume starts at 100% and then gets quieter, so i hit the volume up key, and it goes down to 29% and that is the highest it will get. i first ripped it using dvdfab with the iphone/ipod h.264 settings, set the sound to stereo. i also tried using handbrake with the ipod touch settings with video at 800kbps and audio at 80. both give the same result (though the handbrake rip plays better on the g tablet) with the volume maxing out at 29%.
i emailed the developer of it and he said he hadn't heard anyone else with the issue. so i just wonder, am i doing something wrong?
i also tried making sure the volume was at max before starting the app, but it does the same thing. it also does it on every other rom i have tried, vegan 5.1.1, asop vanilla, g harmony, vegan experamental, and tnt lite. i tried other memory cards and the one usb drive i was able to get working on it.
i really like the playlist shortcut feature for my son to watch movies while on a long car ride without any interaction to start a new one.
_______________________________edit___________________________________
turns out there is something else causing this low volume, i tried mobo video player and it does the same thing as act 1. not sure what is going on.
Try using Rock Player Lite for the time being. I'd had the same issue .. and Rock Player works for me. Guessing the other two need an update.
Yeah I have the same problem also, if you turn the volume up all the way on the tablet, than load the video the volume stays at max. However if you attempt to use volume control in any way the app either crashes or drops to 29% than ultimately to 0%.
Movies display great though haha.
Hi,
I accidently deleted some files on my samsung GT P1000 system folder which i didn't remember any more (what a silly act ) and ever since my samsung galaxy tab 7.0 got no sound came out from its built-in loudspeakers when playing songs or whatching video (media). But for notification sounds, do come out from built-in loudspeakers. built-in microphone also doesn't pick any sound.
But when i plug in the headphone/mic earpiece, i can hear sound when i play song using any media player or watching youtube video as well as able to make call just as it normaly would.
Also i experience that the music player runs unexpectedly and wasn't able to close it except thru task manager. But after a while, it will starts to run by itself again even in the middle of running other application. Very anoying and seems drainning battery too.
I tried to set the sounds and notifications on settings>sound settings>volume all set to max but to no avail.
Any help please?
Hi everyone
I am a new owner of a galaxy gear and i have been experiencing some weird issues related to music controls.
the play/pause, volumes up and down butoons works just fine
but the next track and previous track are actually controlling the volume also.
i cant fast rewind when holding the prevous track button and when holding the next track it just pauses the song.
i uploaded a 40 seconds videos to show the behaviour

I am using a samsung galaxy note 3. I dont thing root is the issue coz it was doing the same when it came out of the box. i even factory reset my phone to check if the root on the phone side was the problem but no.
is anyone had a similar issue ?
thanks
I have an issue too. My album art will display on my fear, but the seek and play buttons don't work. The volume buttons work fine but that's it. Any input would be appreciated.
