Music randomly starts playing - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

Over the past few days, the music app has started playing music without anything to start it. I have not installed any apps that control the music playback and there are no widgets on the main home screen to do as such either.
Anyone else? Very odd behavior. I tried searching but nothing even close came in the results.

This will happen when a Bluetooth audio device connects..

Good point. However, I'm currently not paired to any devices. I haven't needed my headset or headphones just yet, so no pairing yet.

Yeah this is happening for me too. It plays the same song each time as well.

I have some similar problem. Sometimes when playing a track, it skips to the next track automatically. I have no idea what's causing this.

Yes! It's always Dave Matthews' "Crash Into Me" for me. Maybe my phone is trying to tell me something. Is it THAT advanced?
Seriously, though, it's annoying and embarrassing. Yesterday, it started up during a meeting.

Random music
I have had the same type of thing happen with a Droid X. Seemed to happen when I received a notification. As if it was grabbing a particular song instead of the notification tone. Just a thought.

Did you accidentally assign a song as a notification? I haven't done that.

If you have root, I recommend Autostarts. Let's you disable apps being notified when various events happen.

Would this app tell me what app might be starting the mp3 player? Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

Have you restored any application backups with TiBu or something similar? If so, then that app's ringtones could be set to play a random ringtone. With the right software installed, this could mean a random song. If this is the problem, just set that app's ringtones again to fix it.

Sounds

Every couple of days my ring tones go to the annoying default ringtone, all I have to do is reboot my phone simple fact us it's annoying

Are the notification sounds in options being reset, or is it just the file won't play? Also, when it happens again see if you can play music in the music app. If it fails I'd net its the same crap from MOTO that plagues many DX's.

That's unusual. Are you running any exotic-type apps. Are you rooted? Apex has notification settings in the apps themselves. Just trying to figure this out.
Stock rooted and yea they wont play in music player when it happens they stop working until its rebooted wierd

Are you using gtunes to download your music? Formally known as mp3 music download... I had the same problem and noticed the ringtones would change after I would update the app... the app kept on updating like once a week

Motion control in music app?

I just updated my phone the new CM 7.1 RC1 and now when I play music with the head phone jack on every time the phone moves just a little the tracks skip/pause/misc stuff happens. Is there any way to disable this function it is really getting on my last nerves?
never mind second issue fixed after reboot. But still need help with music app issue. Thanks!

i was having the same problem.it woulf skip every 1minute or wen i unlocked. go the market and download "block headset" its a widget. this should solve ur problem it did for me
thanks that seemed to work for me.
So now that I installed a ICS based rom "block headset" does not seem to work any more. Anyone know how to kill it with Android 4 OS?
Bump anyone?!
what music app are you using? Have you attempted looking through settings to see if there's a "shake to change song" option?

I am using the built in Google music app, and no there is no option in it to turn it off.

[Q] Text (notifications) Interrupt Music

Notifications Interrupt music for about 2 seconds, then music starts again. This does not happen on Cyanogen just wondering if there is a FIX for Sense Roms.
Is there a FIX out there for this very annoying issue? I have searched and searched with diff combination of words and no answer comes up?
If you are using the standard music app, open the app, p ress settings, then you should see a lossless ducking option, enable it. Then what wil happen is that the notification will play at a quieter right through the music, so it doeesn't stop at all.
Is this for the EVO? I forgot to mention what device I had lol...I just went to the Myn Synergy RC2 ROM from CM7 ROM. I cant find this setting on it. I want a sense ROM that doesnt interrupt music, I know Myn Warm 2 Point 2 RC5 didnt do this. Thnks for your reply
put the phone on silent. the media volume remains unchanged, and the phone will vibrate your notifications and not interrupt the music.
been doin this since stock froyo, and now running synergy rls1, but works on and rom this way.
Thx for your replys guys...I put notifications on Silent for now...until Poweramp Player includes fhe option to fix this. I just wonder why CM7 and Myn Warm 2point2 dont interrupt.

Putting thebphone on silent is the on,y wat to fix it at the moment but some developers have just found way to build their rooms so that this flaw doesn't occur

I don't think it's a FLAW, but rather intended operation. When I'm listening to podcasts in DoggCatcher, it pauses while any notifications are playing. It resumes playback after the notification sound is complete, but I don't miss words in the middle like I would if it were playing the notification over top of the podcast. It really seems like it's a system feature that requests to pause currently playing media while notifications are happening, and these apps merely respect the request.
It only does it when the headphones are plugged in, without them it will not do this.

So is there nothing to do for this then since I plug my evo in through the earphonejack to listen in the car

that happens to me too. i cant find anyway to fix it. turning off the notification sound just draws a silence when i get an new email or sms.
I don't think there is a fix yet if your on a sense Rom. I went crazy reading and searching about this. The Dev of Poweramp Player will be fixing this in the next update. Def. Worth the purchase without the fix...its a major plus once he can fix this.

DX does not ring out loud after installing google+ app?

Hey all, newbie to the forums and didn't see a thread anywhere so I started one.
I'm running my dx with apex 2.0 and if it makes a difference, I have the tbh tether patch flashed.
Anyway, I installed the google+ app and now my phone shows incoming calls, but it does not ring out loud. However, it does ring for sms and alarms. I've narrowed it to google + app by restoring to a clockwork backup and testing it to see if it rings, and as soon as I reinstalled g+, I was again given the silent treatment on all incoming calls.
Anyone have any ideas?

I just did a test call...and I'm not experiencing the same thing.
Recently installed G+ myself.
(I'm on CM7.)
Download an audio manager or maybe check your incoming call volume in sounds?
I've no idea bud.
Thanks for the quick reply. But that's the problem i'm having is sound settings force closes on me when I try to open it . I'll try the audio manager, any recommendations?

I'm on Apex 2 RC3, I was getting DSPManager crashes a few days ago, but that's stopped since, probably due to a reboot. I'm assuming you went directly into the sound settings to verify they're correct, or is that actually what's crashing?
I had some weird issues with apex as well, I could call people but couldn't actually talk to them, I couldn't find a fix or fix it myself, it seems alot of people have random issues with apex, I don't know if its the rom itself or whether the g apps package is the issue, I ended up moving on to a different rom after I couldn't fix the phone issues as obviously I need that, I wish you luck in finding a fix
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Sorry, haven't been on for a few days. But even after not installing g+, the issue has recreated itself so it looks like a titanium backup and re flash is coming tomorrow.
But to answer your question, the sounds settings is what crashes, I can't access anything within the menu.
Thanks for the replies, I'll post again if it happens after re flashing

Update: figured it out. For some reason it changed my default ringtone and would force close when I went to sound settings, but when I selected an mp3 file and set that file as a ringtone without using sound settings to do so, it seemed to clear up all my issues. Hope this helps someone

Same here, only weather started to work after a while, like if I only said "weather" instead of the whole phrase. Only real problems I'm noticing so far is that talk back can be iffy (only works sometimes) and I get a fc every time I try to set a wake command in settings. I'm sure there is more to report, only played with it a bit.

It doesn't know where to hide a dead body
Gues I'll have to ask someone with an iphone to help me..
what makes this any different than voice actions, jeannie, or vlingo? actually those seem to work better than s-voice....
It seems to only handle small requests. Like "open music" and open "XDA". Its faster to just open the app from the drawer. It is pretty funny trying to send SMS and looking at what it thinks you said. Or just messing around, like "Text *blank* message o I c u 8 1 2. Try turning up your media volume in volumes menu and unchecking "link volumes" to get talk back.
