Hi. I have the inspire. Its rooted and has the new 2.3.3 rom. My problem is that when i try to listen to music it skips, changes songs, opens voice dialer and then on one instance it called someone. I reinstalled the rom, restarted the phone, but it still persists. I have an idea it might have something to do with the headphones being inserted. When it was doing this i took out the headphones and plugged them back in and it played music just fine for a few minutes. any ideas?
EDIT
I just noticed right now that the icon changes from headset to headphones. Right now im listening to it and it playing just fine as long as the icon is set to headphone.
Edit 2:
Well i found this "Hey. I'm dealing with an annoying behavior, and I'm not sure if it's by design, or if there's something wrong with my phone.
When I plug in headphones... everything goes wonky. Specifically, the phone seems to take feedback from any pressure (usually accidental) I apply to the headphone cable. If I push it one way, it goes into voice command mode. If I push it another, it redials the last call I made. And other such along these lines. Why is it doing this? Is it by design, or is there something wrong with my device? How do I make it stop? Every time I jostle the phone while trying to listen to music, I have the phone annoying redialing my last call, going to voice mode, or otherwise interrupting what I'm doing.
I got the feeling, from one of the apps I was playing with, that this may be something called "headset commands," but I haven't been able to find anything else about that. "
Its a diffrent phone but same issue. I tried wiggling my headphone jack around a bit and found that the icon changed to headset. So ill leave this thread here for anyone having the same issues, as i couldnt find anything for this issue with the inspire forum.
I had the same problem on CM7, turns out the phone was recognizing my headphones as a bluetooth headset with built in controls, and it was confused thinking it was getting signals to skip around and change songs. I fixed it by installing a widget called Headset Blocker from the Android market, once I enable it everything works well.
Thanks! now my world is ok.
Hi all,
ICS 4.0.3
Ver. 3.32.707.10
I was wondering if anybody else is encountering similar problems.
Ever since the ICS update, my music player, podcast player (beyondPod) and e-book audio player have gone crazy.
I cannot understand the logic behind it, but the player either stops, skips, pauses, jumps... u name it. Not all the time, but (please do not laugh!) when the car door is slammed shut.
It got me thinking. Is it the shock or the vibration? Tapping or gently bashing the phone does not disrupt the player. Only door of the car closing. It happens every morning and every night when someone gets off the car before me.
Rebooting, taking battery out, clearing out some stuff from my Micro SD... simple stuff to eliminate causes have had no success.
Only rebooting the phone can solve the problem. Force closing the app does not help.
I was thinking that after a heavy days use, maybe the RAM was running out, bu the problem starts even within 20 min of reboot, with no other unnecessary apps running.
I am using Jays headset app since my headphone has that button that allows me to stop/play skip and volume control etc. This has nothing to do with it? I have had it for a while since Gingerbread...
If it were apps from the market that was problematic, i can understand. But since this affects the stock music player as well as other audio related features, I am baffled.
Anybody else? Suggestions?
Found the definitive cause. But still have no solution.
OK guys and gals...
I had my podcast player and stock sense music player do crazy stuff on me, ever since the ICS update.
Maybe the scratched paint is the cause of headache for some people, and covering/insulating it may relieve it of problems, but my feeling is that for quite a few that have posted on this thread, their reasons of malfunction differ, and in fact, are on the same boat as I am.
Please read my post which is the link below to understand the full symptom.

I am not sure if ICS update from GS is related to this problem directly or indirecty. All I know is that I had a happy sensation until the update OTA.
Here is the reason why I know that neither the paint or back cover of sensation is the cause of skipping/jumping/stopping/calling last contacted....
I tried the experiment with the back cover off, but I could not replicate the problem, thus no paint chip, back cover or short circuit of any kind is the answer.
So, by method of deduction, with the cover off, I tried wriggling the headphone in the socket to see if that had any effect. None. I tried plugging and unplugging. None. I tried using the remote button to control the music app and the podcast player. No problem. The play/pause/vol up and down etc all worked fine. I even uninstalled the jays app and tried. Without the app, the button on my headset does play and stop, answer and end calls. It got me thinking, and the environment it caused the symptoms only could point to the mic on my headphones.
And guess what? It is the bloody Microphone on the headset. I bet you there are some of you with this problem using the stock headset supplied that have built in hands free.
Basically, the pressure spike caused by slamming of he car door, is the same effect as blowing into the mic of the headset. And once this is done, the only way you can stop is reboot.
Since there have been no posts on this thread, and while I was hunting desperately for answers, I came across a different thread. Similar symptoms. I posted there too, so u might want to take a peep.

Weird symptom. Possible solution? (Apart from using headsets without mic)
I have the same problem with my Sensation after i flashed the ICS. I have flashed two different custom ICS and with both i had the same problem. The music app goes crazy. I haven't find any pattern on what is that that cause the music app go crazy. When I touch the jack of the headphones (the original headphones of the Sensation) the app start forwarding, skipping track pause, etc. Also the same happens when i put the phone in my pocket. I haven't found any solution but maybe is the signal from the microphone as you said. When i shake the jack i think that signal noise i created and makes the app go crazy.
I hope someone will find a solution soon.
I just found a way to hear music in my ICS Sensation. I just disabled the default music app in the app settings that comes with the rom and i have installed the ESfile explorer which has its own music player. I am using ESFileExplorer's music player and i don't have problems till now...
Hope this is useful for someone.
I think issue is software related. Look here:

Does it happen ONLY when using headsets? I have the same problem, but is caused by the jack connector (only in ICS). It randomly sends signals that the phone understand as multimedia commands. If you remove the headsets and play the music with the speaker, no problem at all.
Crap.
Just recently bought a Bluetooth Headset for my Motorcycle Helmet, I'm on ICS right now, SCV7. The problem I'm finding is that no matter which voice commands app I use (Vlingo, utter, Skyvi, Voice Search) I can't seem to get it to use the headset's mic to listen to me!
But whenever I take a call the microphone works just fine. When I go into the headset's bluetooth settings it is connected as both phone and media. I've tried both by themselves but didn't get a change. Phone calls work and music plays, but voice commands just don't.
Anyone have similar issues? Any ideas?
Would this be a hardware issue with the headset? Hardware with the phone? Or Software?
On a side note: Noticed that music effects have been really buggy with the headset.. MusicFX and DSPManager go crazy, make it sound worse than without them, like the speaker is about to explode from all the static. (Tried all Loudness levels, switching songs, and tried all equalizer settings but I can't pin it down, sometimes it'll be exploding ear-screeching sounds but when I open DSPManager it's as if it finally clicks and makes the equalizer work again.. goes away next song)
Hi there everyone,
First post so take it easy on me :highfive:
I bought a HTC One S a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it a lot but one problem keeps me stumped. Whenever I am listening to a podcast (via the Doggcatcher app) and I have the phone in my pocket, I notice that a small amount of pressure on the headphone jack will cause the audio to pause. Often this happens when I am picking something from the floor or just when walking. I've disabled play/pause when headphone is removed in the app settings itself (as I figured this may be the cause, even though I wasn't removing the headphones) but it hasn't changed anything.
Has anyone else had this issue? I'm using the out of the box HTC earbuds.
Hi,
A couple of days ago I lost completely my mic during calls. (Other persons can not here me but i can. Even when i speak through speakers they can not here me)
Even the sound with my video's is gone.
But the strange thing is that when i tap my phone when my voice recorder app is on, it will detect the tapping but it will not record anything.
Can anybody help in this matter?
I use a ZP999 rooted, custom rom
update : the voice recorder did record something afterall.
When i put my headset in i can hear it clear.
I did pull out my headset and i now can hear the voice recording through my speakers which before didn't work.
I had some hope now the mic of my phone dialer should work but it didn't.
Can there be something wrong with my headset-input-jack which controls also the mic of my dialer???
Is it possible that my phone "thinks" there is still a headset inside so my mic won't work?
I remember i used some softtouch-pen which had on the other end a "jack"-like the usual headsets. But i remember it didn't fit the wright way.
It could possibely caused the harm.
Any way to override or fix this problem ???
Any help would be welcome.
