[Q] Headphone auto activates voice commands - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seems there is a weird bug, after connecting the headphones and listening to songs when each song ends it activates voice dialer/voice commands and sometimes just skips the track. Any one else facing this issue? :silly:

Music mutes during notification

Hey all. Most of the threads with this question are unanswered.
Whenever I get a notification while listening to music, it mutes the music. This is completely unnecessary.
Putting the phone on Vibrate / Silent is not really a fix.
Is there anything I can do with a rooted N5 to disable this ?
Old Android used to play the message noise over the music which when on headphones used to deafen everyone so they changed it to mute instead

its completely necessary, people who use headphones would go deaf if it didnt.
Im pretty sure there isnt a way to disable this as of yet, since its a wanted feature for the majority
It's called audio focus and it's driven by the apps. Maybe changing your music player would change that behaviour but it's mostly a wanted feature as other said.
PS: neither setting none as tone will work? On many custom roms you will have a separate notifications volume but I find both solutions uncomfortable

Headphones not working

So, I have tried 6 types of headphones, and 3 work normally.
On the other 3 that don't work, when I press play on Play music it plays for a sec through the speaker, then stops, then plays for a sec, then stops, and does that until it finally stops.
Does anybody have a similar problem or do you have any solutions?
Thanks!

See when it stops, does the google voice search appear on screen ?
as if it has detected noise from the headphones as a voice.

It doesn't show up, and the phone doesn't stop, the music plays for a second, then it stops, then it plays again for a sec, and it stops. It does that a few times until it stops and I have to press play again.
EDIT: I have to say that headphones that don't work all had microphones, and the ones that worked didn't have them, so maybe you are on to something.
I will try to disable google voice search somehow, maybe it will work.
Is the Headphone fixed in the moto g or is it wabbeling?
I have an AUX-cable with a stop/play button on one connector it doesn't work. But when I turn the cable and use the other connector it works.
I had an issue were Google search would show due to noise from the earphones even when nothing was playing, fixed it by using an app called wizdroid
Not sure if it will fix your issue but wouldn't hurt to try

Hey guys,
I have encountered a similar problem where my headphones indeed seem to trigger google voice search, or pauze the playing music. However, i have not found it to be related to any specific headphones. At first I thought that maybe a bad ground contact on the plug was being registered as a command from headphones with controls, however:
Non of the headphones i have used have controls, they are all regular headphones with TRS (three ring) connectors.
The headphone plug on my Moto G seems plenty solid.
According to the official Moto G forum, the Moto G doesn't even support headphones with contols. (see https://forums.motorola.com/posts/44afe72921)
@lakyboss: maybe that last point is why the headphones with microphones are not working for you.
Kind regards,
Dracorius
So, bottom line is that Moto G doesn't support these types of headphonees? Excellent

Read carefully.
It says that 3 button controls are not supported. This mostly refers to headsets designed for iPhones that have the control button as well as Vol Up and Vol Down buttons.
This isn't just the case for the Moto G. The Samsung S3 for example would only work with *Samsung* 3 button headsets but wouldn't work with Sennheiser or most other third party 3 button headphones.
The main/control button for third party headsets works for the Moto G, I've tried Brainwavz, Soundmagic and Sennheiser headphones with mic and button and all work fine for controlling music and answering calls.
Setting up the button controls via PowerAmp (or the player of choice), Headset Button Control* or similar apps might be needed depending on your settings.
(*Trial here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headset)
I have Skullcandy Ink'd 2 which have one button for answering calls/playing music/activating voice search (long press).
They worked on my Nexus S, One X, my laptop, but whatever I play on Moto G, it doesn't work. I've tried Google Play Music, YouTube, few other music players, even tried flashing a new rom, it still doesn't work.

[Q] Volume changing while playing music

Does anyone else have this kind of problem? The volume while playing music is always changing, like one step up or down every 5 minutes give or take.
- I disabled all the sound and equalizer options from the settings to test if that was the cause but it didn't help.
- Rebooting the phone also didn't help.
- I use Spotify, didn't test any other app yet but I don't have this problem on my Nexus 5 using the same Spotify version.
- There is no way the volume keys were pressed accidentally because even when the phone just lies there, flat on the table, this happens.
- I am on the latest OTA.
Ha ha I thought I was crazy. Yes I do, it's not a drastic change in volume but I know exactly what you're talking about
Same problem here. ..
Did anyone find a solution to this problem? This is probably the most annoying bug I've ever experienced.

I have the same issue on my edge
I had the same problem, it was due to the "Sound Alive+" option in the sound menu.
I found that it was incompatible with both Spotify and Google Play Music, changing the volume of the songs randomly. As soon as I disabled this, the volume glitch stopped.
However, I migrated across to the stock music app, as I love the Sound Alive option.

That doesn't solve the problem for me, I disabled all the sound options (and still have them disabled) and even all the gestures and this still happens regularly...
Hey guys, same problem, I assume it's because of the equalizer voice/instrument equalizer wheel, for some reason it keeps adjusting music vs voice when I play music even if it's set up to normal... Let's hop samsung provides a way to fix this
I had the same issue initially as well using a bt speaker.
I have disabled sound Alive+. In addition, I have disabled the EQ of my speaker and in spotify. Doing so solved the issue for me...
Spotify informs you that using the Equalizer (software) it can affect sound level on some devices. So make sure that you do not have (extreme) equalizer settings in any of the affected software and hardware....
If you take all together, with a modern setup, the sound file is processed by: 1.) the playing software (with EQ) 2.) the streaming device (with EQ or sound improving software e.g. the samsung galaxy) 3.) the recieving (BT) device with software EQ (e.g. the UE Boom).
With my setup, I can turn of EQ at any stage and this solves the problem for me. If your BT speaker does not allow changes of its sound processing, this could be an issue...

How can you disable the EQ settings of spotify? I can't find such option in my app settings.

Hey guys, I found a fix, I uninstalled the app and installed the previous version (2.6.0.813) from the amazon app store and it's working fine, if the app store is not available you can easily find this version online.

Did you/anyone ever solve this? When I plug in earphones, the Google app starts automatically (and restarts each time I close it) and then the volume goes up and down automatically.

Just last month my phone did a system update that took what felt like forever. Whatever was updated seemed to fix the issue. I haven't had any trouble since. Sorry. I know that doesn't really answer your question.

PX5 and power amp issues

ok i am posting this here in a sepperate thread
Issue: when using poweramp... and then pausing it... then opening Radio or Video application.. radio/video screen appears for a second then closes, in this second (from what i can understand) a multimedia button press (play/pause) is sent to poweramp by the radio/video application.. automatically
this is very strange. it seems that radio/video app is trying to pause poweramp by sending a multimedia button press, which actually creates a problem, as opening the radio app is impossible!!! as the radio senses poweramp is open and it closes..
disabling poweramp "headset multimedia buttons" solves the problem.. but then we lose the steering wheel controls for poweramp.
has anyone noticed the issue?
This happens on malaysk's rom
Just reinstalled everything and I can confirm these there is a comparability issue between Poweramp and radio/video app. This exists in all roms that exist for PX5.
Even factory roms

I've noticed a similar problem with TomTom Go.
When I use the TomTom and try to open the Radio or AVIn, the AVIn or Radio screen appears for a second but it closes immediately.
In the background, however, I hear the audio of the AVIn or Radio but there is no video.
As you said you must be a problem with these apps ........
I cannot believe no one has noticed..
By the way strangely TomTom runs fine here
I have the same issue ... I noticed it just after sleep. Once headunit wakes up if I press radio it closes ...but after that everything is normal...expect sometimes I lose the song ot was playing in Poweramp and it goes to the first aong again
I have car launcher pro installed which have a small Poweramp widget included

yes the behaviour you say is correct..
the "video app" is worse.. it will not open..
try it..
i have a feeling this has something to do with canbus as i can not explain why not many people have noticed it until now

I don't have canbus box and I have same problem; but if I play music (poweramp or rocketplayer) from widget (without open app), this problem is solved
A workaround in Rocket Player is to activate the "ignore otber apps" option in "audio focus" settings. Anyway if you do that and turn on radio while listening to Rochet Player you will hear both.
Anyone found a solution?
hmmmm i have same issues.....
I am using malaysk rom with FCC launcher (also have AG launcher), when i try to switch from media source often the new source is opened and closed again and i cannot get the new media source started (from a widget),
Had no idea this was a universal problem and more people had simular problems.
Issue I'm having with Poweramp is that when I make a call using google app the music pauses as it should but as soon as phone starts ringing the music starts playing again and I cant turn sound down as doing that also turns down phone speaker,
I like using this app because it can be set to scan usb only for music , does anyone know of another app that does the same
Poweramp settings-->audio-->advanced tweaks-> uncheck direct volume control

That sorted it, I'm glad because I use it with car launcher pro and this is the only combination that seems to not lose the usb stick I have my music on , everything just works as it should
Still no fix for the original problem of this post? It's annoying to say the least when I have to disable the buttons on the steering wheel before I can use video app.
nope still no sollution i am afraid.. I don't know whether Oreo roms sorted that out
I guess everybody here has the problem with poweramp and the bluetooth music connection, right?
As soon as I switch to Bluetooth Music control, it starts poweramp
I am having the same original issue too. Either with some online radios apps or DI.FM for example. Quite annoying, I had to uninstall DI.FM because when pressing play it would launch and play PowerAmp...
I couldn't find anything that would solve it with CANBUS or any other settings.
Hello there. have a nice day. In my car listening to music with poweramp does not turn off during the phone call with bluetooth. So the music doesn't stop. I have activated the bluetooth option but still continue. I use in the car radio, dasaita px3 and 7.1.2 Android version. v2.99 mcu version

Music playback going haywire, stopping starting, skipping, and muting

I've been trying to listen to music on my phone recently and I cant at all it seems. I can't even listen to it for 5 minutes on any player both pulsar and musicolet do this. They stop randomly they start again the music is muted, they skip songs randomly. I was literally walking along the path, with the screen watching my phone go haywire like it was possessed. Skipping songs constantly, and muting and stopping and starting.
I hope this can be fixed because music is my main use for the phone. I'll have to return it, if I cant even listen to music on it.
Do you by any chance were using earphones?
If a cable breaks there may be such behavior.

Try to do it the other way around.. get another set of headphones to your phone and see if the problem still occurs... If not, problem solved, cable broken..?

I just bought the phone, the only other issue is it crashes my wifi every time it connects, which I think is to do with the Asus router.
But anyway I think I may have solved the problem, I changed the battery optimisation for pulsar to don't optimise and that seems to have worked no problems for 2 days now.
