[Q] Autostop music when unplugging headphones - Epic 4G General

Is there anyway to have the music app automatically pause music or quit music player when the headphones are unplugged?
Could this be done with Tasker or any other app maybe?
Thanks for any help!

My Slacker and Pandora auto pause when unplugging the headphones. Haven't tried with the music player.

I'm not sure if plug-in launcher can handle an action for removing headphones but I know it will start music when they're plugged in.

Thanks guys! I just dl'd tasker and got it figured out with tasker!
Works great now!

Plug in launcher allows you to have the media volume automatically change when you plug or unplug your headphones

I use power amp and that pauses and shuts down the player when you unplug the head phones and starts it back up where it left off when you plug in the head phones

I think power amp is the best media player I've tried.

WinAMP does that as well. It's also nice because I use winamp at home, so when I get home and i have new music on my computer, or my phone, or whatever - my playlists and libraries sync over wifi

Music player stops at 10% battery

Is there anyway to stop this? I hate it I only listen to music at home where I have a charger if I need it.
I just want to be able to listen to music at lower than only 10%

DL30 + Cradle

Anyone get the 3.5mm plug to work on the car dock / desk cradle after flashing DL30?
I thought the requirement was 2.2, but can't seem to get it to work.
It works
on both the car dock app and music app there is a phone icon. Click it. It will change the output from the phone to the dock.

It would be nice to have a toogle widget so that it wouldn't app dependent.

I can't find the icon. Does out only appear when the phone its in the dock? Can you use programs other than Music Player (such as Pandora, Listen, etc.)?
When you place the phone in the dock and the app launches (car dock or desk dock) select the icon. I would imagine once you have done this you can run another app (like pandora) and it should work

Anyone get the app to launch on dock when using Launcher Pro? Before a hit of the home key would launch the app, but now that doesnt seem to work. Anyone?

That's correct. Once you select the icon in the car dock app, just go back to your home by hitting the back button and launch any other app and it should play through the dock. I confirmed with Pandora and SlingPlayer.
You wont see the icon on the car dock or music player unless it is actually docked.
Hope this helps.
I get the steering wheel icon in the notification bar but the app didn't launch. Does it show on the car dock app?
Edit: I was a delta alpha. I located said button in the car stock program. I was confused because the dock didn't automatically pop up like it did in previous versions. I had to start it while in the dock. My only complaint now is that I have to manually switch it every time.

Has anyone else noticed that the sound quality is severely degraded when running through the dock instead of a direct connection to the 3.5mm jack?
I mean I'm talking absolutely terrible audio quality. Am I the only one? Try connecting a decent pair of headphones directly to the phone and then to the dock, the difference will be very, very apparent.
Try turning down your media volume on the phone while in the dock and using an external amp to control the volume. This sort of thing happens when my internal Sirius radio volume is turned up to full and then run into into the car stero.
It worked fine...sound a bit degraded though, but never the less, it works. Now byebye carrying ipod around.

My Dock has a lot of static, even when I have no sound playing. When I remove the power, the static goes away until I plug the power back in. I have tried a USB cable and the same static happens. When I have the same speaker setup plugged into the headphone on the phone, no static. Does anyone else have this issue?
Yea, noticed that too. I thought it was my cable.

I have noticed this even without the dock, mine I believe is a whine related to the charging, as it always stopped if I removed the charger while connected to radio. Only way I found to reduce it was to set the phone volume to about 13 or so, so I wouldn't have to run the car stereo quite as high of a volume.
Picked up the Verizon car dock today and what a joy it is to finally be able to use it for audio. As previously stated, you must use the official Car Cradle app to activate the 3.5mm jack. Since the app is basically crap (Bing, Verizon Navigator), I use Custom Car Doc, which allows you to choose whatever apps you want listed. I put Car Cradle on there and am golden. Just use it to activate the jack, then back out and you can use Custom Car Doc normally.
As for audio quality, it sounds great to me. Many cars add audio interference when the phone is plugged into the cig lighter. Amazon carries several cures for this. I installed a Pyramid NS12 12 Amp InLine Noise Suppressor, which was $6 including shipping, and it did the trick on my Mazdaspeed3.
I got the cardock to work, but not the desk cradle. I think in the superclean it was removed. It has the ASOP desk , there is no speaker button.
I use Alarm Clock Plus for my home dock and it has the speaker button.
I didn't like the stock car dock app, so I was using Custom Car Home for a while. That didn't have the speaker button. Then I tried Google Car Home. I could activate the speaker by going into the stock Music app, bit not from the Google Car Home app itself.
I guess ill have to buckle down and try the stock Samsung app. They suck.

After using DL30 for a few days, I have to say, the car cradle and desktop cradle both gives soo much static....
At least the car is more barable, but the desk was not barable.
I posted a request in the Apps section for someone to 'de-bing' the stock Froyo app, no result yet. What I did find, however, is that you can activate the dock audio from *any* of the apps that support it. So, you can activate it directly from the music app if you want to use the Google car dock, or you can activate it from the Stock Car dock if you choose to swap out to the AOSP music player. Just don't pull move like me and replace BOTH with AOSP apps and then kick yourself when you have to restore lol.

Music starts randomly

My friend has an epic and when she got the ota yesterday her phone started playing music at random. She'll have the phone on a table and a few min later music will play. Anyone know what that could be? Haha
Oh and she's 100% stock

I had a related bug with music recently.
A couple days ago, whenever i pulled my headphones out of the 3.5mm jack it would start playing music really loud. even if i wasn't listening to music it would open up winamp and play one particular song. the task manager would say the Winamp wasn't open.
I uninstalled Winamp the bug seems to have gone away.
I am on Syndicate Rom Frozen.
Thanks she was using.power amp and she uninstalled and reinstalled and seems to have fixed it

Is it me or is power amps random feature

Completely awesome! I've retired my ipod now that I have power in. I got all my music on a 32 gig sd. I just pointed power amp at the top directory in random, and I've been listening to music that I don't recognize that I didn't know I had that is sounding awesome.
The other thing I totally dig that I plug my earbuds in and it plays.... unplug them and the sound stops doesn't come out the stupid speaker. Nice.

[Q] Wired headset button keeps launching/playing ringtones with stock music app.

AS the title would suggest, I'm having a small issue with my headset button.
I got my G2 today and while excellent, my previous phone, HTC One, would react perfectly to the headset button.
I use doggcatcher often and when pressing the button on the One, the podcast would play or pause perfectly. I could remove my headset and an hour later connect it back, hit the button and back playing where it left off.
With the G2 the damn music app keeps playing and it will play the choir ringtones. Even if I am playing a podcast in Doggcatcher and I hit the button the music player will interrupt Doggcatcher to play the ringtone.
Is there a fix for this? Or a way to disable the build in stock music player which I will NEVER use.
Solved it

What was the fix?
What was the fix for this? I am having a similar issue, but my headset will only launch the dialer and I can't figure out how to make ANY music or podacst app respond to my wired headset button.
