music apps start on their own

[davidmanvell]

I had several music programs installed. Periodically one would start on its own. Random song. I have no buttons on my desktop to start them. Music apps would start when phone sitting by itself or when using the phone in various ways. I deleted all the music apps but the default music ager is now opening in its place.

I notice when using bluetooth it starts everytime when the bluetooth is either connected or disconnected as well as when I hang up a phonecall used through bluetooth.

I went into default music player in settings and tried clearing its cache but clear cache button is ghosted.

Any ideas?

I know that Music APPS can do this from time to time when Bluetooth headsets are involved. e.g., WinAmp had this issue at 1 time whereby it would "take over" any Bluetooth connection so that pressing the PLAY button on my headset would start my last WinAmp song -- even though I was listening to another APP at the time - like TuneIn Radio or iHeartRadio. This resulted in both playing at the same time.

Maybe take a look at which Music APP you have installed and uninstall it and test for a few days?  (which one(s) did you install?)

There is a option to auto start a player when a bluetooth is connected to the device, try opening Bluetooth settings and press and hold device name and uncheck the Media option in the menu and see if this helps..

thanks for the replies.

im not using a headset sonot sure any connection with that causing the issues.

i went into the bluetooth settings and prwssed and held the device name but i dont get any pop up with additional options. went all through thise menus looking for anything like media optionsbut am not seeing it. did thus with bluetooth on and connected and off. only thing i can do with the devicename is change it by tapping it. holding it doesnt bring up additional options.

Just curious, does this only happen when you haven't been listening to music? I ask because I have noticed issues with music apps that don't shut down, giving the appearance that they started on their own, when music resumes playing a while later. Tune-in Radio, for one, sometimes requires a forced close. Just a thought.

i have done some testing and confirmed no music apps were running at the time. i had used advansed task killer to kill all apps and gone back in to verify they were dead. i have also rebooted the phone from scratcged as well.

ive run out of ideas to try on this.
