[Q] Music Player starts after I hang up

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.

How to force notifications to speaker?

Hi
I use my Nexus 6 to stream my music from my N6 to my car via A2DP , and the the problem is when I listen to some music and I get a SMS , my phone doesn't ring as usual ,it gives a very low notification in my car's speakers instead. If the music goes low I can't hear it actually.
Is there a way to force the phone to ring as usual with its speakers?
Thanks

One way I could think of is with tasker. Playing a sound. Not checked it works but might do.
Actually probably not thinking about it.

I know Poweramp music app has that option.

Tasker seems to be a wonderfull app , but I need to understand how it works first
Thanks for your advice if I finally succeed to do what I want I let you know.

It is but I really am not sure if it would do what you want. I think I talked too soon.

Bug: Headphones and Lock Screen

I've been meaning to post about this ever since the last OTA. I've been having a problem with audio coming out the phone speaker when headphones are connected.
Here are the steps to reproduce to bug:
1) Enable a pattern screen lock.
2) Plug in headphones and listen to music.
3) Hit "Lock your phone now" in the notification pull-down menu.
4) Unlock the phone using your pattern.
After 4), audio comes out of the phone speaker, not the headphones. Has anyone else noticed this? I usually use trusted devices with my Android wear watch to keep my phone unlocked. That effectively works around the bug most of the time. But, when I'm on a plane it's pretty annoying. If I want to skip past a song I need to first unlock the phone, which triggers the bug and tends to bother my seatmate.

I just tried it twice and it doesn't happen to me, maybe it has something to do with the app you are using for music? I'm using Google play music.

Odd. Thanks for trying. It happens to me with every app (including Play Music). And all system audio is redirected to the phone speaker.
Just to confirm, you're using a pattern unlock, not just a swipe, right?
Probably the only "weird" thing about my setup is that I have VPN credentials protected in the hardware keystore. But it doesn't seem like that should impact audio in any way.

Yup, I made sure it was a pattern...maybe the upcoming lollipop update will fix it

Ear buds not working with spotify

Buds play music fine but buttons won't pause / change song etc. They work fine on Amazon music.
Anyone experiencing the same and have a fix ?

I don't have the buds yet (hopefully arriving soon), but I've had this issue with my existing bluetooth earphones. The fix was to make sure Spotify isn't on the list of apps getting put to sleep - I think you do this through the battery settings area.

That would really suck. Spotify is my go to music app. Hope it's just an update for Spotify.

same here...
I haven't tried another music app yet to just make sure it wasn't my buds acting up.
EDIT: not working with YouTube Music either. The buds beep when I touch them (single tap or double tap) but don't do anything. holding down does activate google assistant on my phone but that's it.
EDIT 2: now they are working in YT Music but still not spotify. weird.

Ouch. Nasty find. Strangely skipping works on all music players I use except spotify. I tend to blame spotify not Samsung for that.
Edit: it actually works ! All I did was close spotify then tap once on the bud which started automatically spotify with skipping fully working :good:

Seems like Spotify needs to update their apps asap

Working without issues here with every music app, Poweramp, Spotify, Youtube...

Still working? I did get it to work for a minute after starting Amazon music first and then went right into spotify. But after a couple mins, they went back to not working.

I've noticed that when the buds don't work, the lock screen widget to pause/skip also doesn't work

Youtube Music suddenly runs without any interaction

Hello everybody,
First of all : Happy new year !
I own a Pixel 4 XL running a stock ROM with the bootloader still locked (I actually don't flash my phones anymore since I'm a team Pixel member haha). I use Android Auto very often because of my job.
Here is my problem : Since the december update (I guess) when I disconnect my phone from my car (using the cable & bluetooth), and put my phone in my pocket, the song from the last music suddenly runs very loud (max volume) even if I manually stop the music player beforehand. I tried a lot of things to stop this problem that seems very random : I cleared the YT Music cache, I disabled motion sense gestures, I even did a factory reset but the problem is still here.
I have to think every time I get out of my car to low the volume before this bug comes out..
Have you encountered that problem ? Do you guys have any idea that could help me ?
Thanks in advance !

Nobody can help me ?

I don't know, what does team Pixel say?
I don't think there is a solution and you aren't alone. I don't use YT for audio, but all music apps have the same pain in the ass behavior because they don't close automatically and most often you have to use "recents" to kill them off. This is the same with Spotify and Pandora. I find myself having to close AA itself sometimes because it stays open long after I've left the car. Sometimes 20 minutes later I look down and notice it is still running. If it can start up automatically when BT connects, or even when "hearing" driving noises like the engine, the reverse should be true. You turn the car off, unplug, exit the vehicle WHY does it continue running? Not one of the top 3 music apps will kill itself.

Thanks for answering !
I actually didn't know anyone else would have the same problem so this is reassuring me hah
Yes that is so annoying having your phone waking up with music with the volume toaximum whereas 10 minutes ago you thought you did everything to shut it up

I think I've had this happen literally once and I do use YouTube Music. Have never had it replicated. Is it still happening with the happened with the January update?

Unfortunately, yes it still happens despite the last update. The only thing that seems help me avoiding the problem is when I manually stop the music in my car before unplugging the phone. Then, for safety I put the media volume to the minimum so if the music starts again in my pocket, I won't hear it.

Interesting, so you're connected via Bluetooth to your car, turn off the ignition, and it'll still be playing? At that point, that's when my YouTube Music pauses.

Actually no. I plug my P4XL to my car through USB then it connects via Bluetooth and Android Auto runs on my car's screen. Everything work fine. When I'm arrived, I unplug my phone, turn of the ignition and the sound normally stops and YTM pauses. But something like 10 minutes later, when I'm far from the car, the last song I was playing in the car restart through the phone with absolutely no interaction on it.

I have a similar problem. I drive a lot throughout the day and Stream SiriusXM on my Phone through the BT on my work van. Very often, I get out and within an unspecified period of time, Sirius will start playing, full volume for no reason. It's as annoying as the Google Assistant suddenly responding to something I said without me using the OK Google prompt.
The fix is to close Sirius and swipe away the player controls in the status bar dropdown

Thanks for your feedback ! I don't have the Google Assistant problem you have but the exact same problem for the media. So it's not due to YT Music or Sirius. It's an overall media problem.
Unfortunately, I can't close the app because when I unplug the phone, YouTube Music isn't even open. And swiping right the player controls doesn't seem to work.
The only thing that seems to work is to stop the stream through Android Auto before turning off the engine and unplugging. But I have to think every time I leave my car

I haven't tried stopping it before I turn off the van, but that's an idea. I think when I turn off the engine, it pauses the stream on the device, sure, but what causes it to just start playing again??
TBH, that and the random dead spots around the edges of my phone since Android 11, I'm getting a little aggravated.

I absolutely don't know what causes it to start the music again. But closing it before turning off the engine and then force closing the streaming app does help. That way, the phone has nothing to turn back on
Regarding the dead spots since the update I don't have this problem... Yet. But yeah, Android 11 is one of the worst major update the past few years. Hope they will fix these problems soon.
