for some weird reason, this just started happening in the past month: my media player will just turn on by itself, and plays whatever random file it wants to! i'm just sitting at my desk, the phone is plugged in charging, and music just starts playing!
anyone have this happen? how do i make it stop?
thanks. :-\

I don't the solution for this. As I have never heard of such issues.
But you can try this.
Clear the Music player data from Application Manager.
Go to: Setting--> General--> Application Manager--> All
Look for Music, MusicFX and clear it's data.
Even after trying this it didn't work. Then hard reset might be required.
Thanks.
okay....did that. i'll see if that worked. it happens just occasionally...just every once in a while. very. weird. :-\
thanks!
well....it just did it again! i'm trying to figure out if it's related to any other apps. i have a call blocking app that just "contained" a spam call at the same time; however, it didn't do that yesterday, when the music player went off....
i guess i'll have to watch to see what other apps are active when this happens.....

i did an online chat with samsung, and "force stopped" my music player (which he said is like disabling it). then i made another app my default music player, so hopefuly that will take care of it.
if not, "i'll be bock..." (<---arnold)
@Ms.O
Okay.
Even if you force stop it but once you click on Music player then it will start.
Since Music player can never be disabled. (Unless you are rooted)
I guess any third party app is causing that issue.
You can use Built in blocking mode provided by Samsung.
Thanks.

yes, i noticed that! but i've now made another music app the default for music files, so i'm hoping (fingers crossed) that does the trick. since it's so random, i won't know for sure unless it happens again!

blocking mode on my phone only blocks selectively for notifications, calls, alarms, timer and the LED indicator. there is no option to block only music. and i want to be able to listen to music when i want, just not at random times when the phone decides to play it!
thanks tho....
Maybe you have some audio bluetooth device that connects? When I get into my car and my phone connects with bluetooth audio, the music player also launches and starts to play. You could check your bluetooth pairings to see if it has an audio device. If it does, umpair it and see if it still happens!
Just a thought..

Have noticed Music keeps stopping after a track or 2 when i have phone in pocket with display off. Some threads say is down to a task killer, but I dont have one of those, I have autokiller but I understand that shouldnt stop apps like music and doesnt have an exclude list, could it be the stock task manager (there doesnt seem to be an exclude list there either?). The only other thing I have installed recently is juicedefender, could that be doing it.
Any hints or tips, not found a solution using search yet.
I'm having the same issue with Spotify and Google Listen. I thought it was because of my headphones as they're on the way out but I guess not.
I only used the music player for the first time today and I have exactly the same thing happening. I can even hear the phone start up music so I think the player is causing the phone to reboot.
KE7 seems to have a bug with the music player causing it to soft reboot. A hard reset doesn't fix it. You can try PowerAmp for now as a replacement. Been using for a day or so and it is pretty awesome.
Ah ok, hopefully samsung will fix it soon then

I am noticing the same issue with the default music player, double twist, spotify, google listen and powerAMP.
I don't have any task killer apps which are set to automatically kill running apps.
I do have juice defender but all that should do is shut down the data connections, this surly should not affect playback.
Its quite annoying so I hope it gets fixed soon.
I have the same issue, has anyone found a cure? Doesn't matter what I am using IE radio, music or listen it just stops randomly.
I had the issue previously but think it was down to motion settings as since I disabled motion it has not happened (flip phone to mute sounds)
Hope this helps

My motion wasn't activated, but that seems to be the general answer, turn of motion.
Has anyone had this problem where the screen timeout stops music playing? I've got the wifi disconnect policy set to never disconnect as suggested elsewhere but it makes no difference.
The music stops and after a few seconds starts again and stops and starts and stops etc..
It happens with the Google Music player and Vplayer.
Any help would be appreciated as I want to listen to some MP3's without having to press the power button every few minutes

Glad to help - i wish I know of a workaround for this problem, as I like the stock music players inferface just a bit better.
Yes me too. I also have Lucid Dreamer which i want to try at night and that stops too when the screen timeouts.
I've been having the same issue. Does WinAmp give you Music Beta access? I know the stock player does, which is why I've kept it around.
Me too, with mp3 over wifi, with ever music player, the sound cut when the screen goes to sleep.
I don't find any solution, just the player "poweramp" has an option to let the screen on.
acer hc 3.1
doubletwist. Works for me on 4.010.13 no problem
doubletwist worked for me too and I like it better than winamp.
Cheers
When I'm playing music, other music will suddenly cut in. I thought the problem was WinAmp, so I uninstalled / changed players, but the problem persists (now using UberMusic) .... any ideas???
I've checked currently running tasks and couldn't spot any suspects....

thanks in advance.
Its probably your headphones. If there is a short in the wire your phone thinks you hit play/pause, and your samsung music player starts up. That's my guess.

thanks, but no; happens regardless of cord. I regularly use three seperate ones (connecting car, stereo and headphones). Just to be clear - one song is playing, then half way through another song cuts in and plays over the top - no pause at all.
I had a similar issue, but my music would just start randomly playing at any time. Sometimes just randomly, while locked and in my pocket, and it happened a few times for some reason when I opened up facebook. It's always one of the mp3's I have saved on my phone, and always the first in the playlist, like it was actually selected. I also couldnt get it to stop. It would either randomly stop on it's own or I'd have to turn the phone off. Opening up the media player didnt do anything at all. Hasn't happened in a couple months and I didn't do anything to fix it. Hope someone has an answer.
I get the same issue with mine. For me it happens most of the time with Google Music. If I press the play button from the lock screen, sometimes just clicking next on the music controls in the notification tray, and sometimes just randomly.
When I pull up Google Music, it will usually have whatever song is playing, but it will be shown as not playing. Sometimes pressing play, then pause will stop it. Other times, the only way to stop it is to let it play the song through or reboot my phone. Even ending the Google Music app from the Task Manager doesn't stop it.
Hopefully someone knows some more information on a fix for this.
P.S. This happens despite what headphones/cord I plug into the phone.
Try Headset Blocker in the app market...it's free and solved the problem for me...there are a few others but I don't remember the names

Now that I think about it, you're absolutely correct - this only happens with mp3's that I've downloaded and are stored on the phone mem ... perhaps it's one of the download programs. I often use GTunes, which has an inbuilt player ... I reckon it's possible that it's stuffing me around.
@chronos7 nothing to do with headset controls... as mentioned, happens even with a cord going straight into an amplifier.
just updated to the new version of gtunes, called gpod. Will report back after some listening
I had that problem with either WinAmp or DoubleTwist. Both are uninstalled now and I haven't seen the problem in a while.
It was quite annoying.. whenever I would disconnect the car bluetooth it would start playing.

didn't help ... sigh.
Extra info: it switches back to the original song sometimes. So, playing song a, song b cuts in for about 20 seconds, then switches back to song a. No pauses.
Try the headset blocker and see if that fixes the problem...I had the exact same issues and this solved the problem about 6 months ago and I haven't had the problem since...just try it and if it doesn't work then it's was free anyway but trust me it will work...
thanks Chronos, tried it, but no, didn't help.
Here's the fu**ing weird thing: i just copied all my music from my sd card to my pc. I then played some music with windows media player......... THE SAME THING HAPPENED! In the middle of a song another song jumped in for 15 seconds and then buggered off. Note that WMP never acknowledged any change, i.e. kept showing song a even when song b had cut in.
WTF? Corrupted files??
If it does the same thing on your PC it's not the phone, it's the MP3 file. Download from a different source. Some people still have trouble ripping/converting music so you get garbage/incomplete MP3 files sometimes.

I agree after some experimentation, but the problem originated on the phone itself. I can see this is the case because song a is polluted with song b and c, where both b and c are present on my phone and are completely unrelated to song a. I just encountered a Joy Division song with chunks of Prince and something else completely alien, but still all are my songs, not just ones that would have been inserted during the encoding process .... I wonder what program did this. I still think gtunes is a candidate, but have no evidence at all, except that in the aforementioned case all three songs were downloaded via gtunes.
When playing music via Google Music, sometimes the app skips to next song before the current one is done. Any idea why this is happening, and how to solve it?
My observations:
This happens during good internet connection (both on WiFi and 3G)
It happens to both "pinned" songs (cached) and the ones that are streamed. This happens even when the whole play queue is pinned (so there isn't a problem switching from cached song to streamed song)
All my music is via All Access subscription, so no songs are uploaded by myself (this eliminates the possibility of having a corrupt mp3 file)
After the music skips to next song, if I go back to the "problematic" song it plays fine to the end
This happens randomly to any song, and if a song skips once it doesn't mean it will skip again (this I find the most confusing)
Any help would be appreciated, this random skipping is frustrating!
P.S.: I have stock, rooted Nexus 4 running 4.3.

You could try to uninstall app or wipe the app data.
Are you using earphones or headphones?
Because it might matter.
I'm using Audeo PFE 112, so ones without any controls.
I've reinstalled Google Music, let's see if it helped..
Did you manage to get a solution to this? I've had the same problem on my N4 and previously my S3. I have noticed that it seems to happen when connected via Bluetooth. It seems to also be worse if I receive a notification, even if the notification sound is muted. if I use PowerAmp it's fine. In PowerAmp there are more options available to set the audio priority and buffer size. Could be down to that but obviously we don't have those options in the Play Music app.
I've got some more info that may be of use. It happens when I have an unread notification. It may not just be on Bluetooth as I don't read the notifications whilst driving obviously. This used to happen in PowerAmp when updating to Jellybean, however they fixed it. Makes no difference if notifications are on silent or if you swipe it from the notification bar, it has to be marked read.

I still have the problem. I will try to find out if it happens more when i get notifications and will report here..
This issue has been annoying the hell out of me for a few months now on my GNex on 4.3 (running AOSPA 3.99). Every time they push an update to the Play Music app I think "Finally!" assuming it will fix this issue, but no dice.
Mine is always on Bluetooth, and happens with streamed or pinned music. It will play whatever song I left it on when I last exited the player, completely, then the next song that comes up in the queue is the one that will skip after partially playing. I haven't timed it, but it's something like 20s or so. If I manually go back to the beginning of the track it skipped, it will play it completely to the end with no issues. I have found, from messing around with it, that if I proactively skip back/forward to another track manually before hitting "Play" it doesn't seem to happen. It's acting like when the player starts up, it "thinks" it received a "Next" button press via AVRCP and advances to the next song on its own.
Is that description consistent with what you guys are experiencing?

This is what I'm experiencing. Since it doesn't happen outside of that I'm not too upset.
This latest Google Play Music app update (5.2.1224L) seems to have fixed the issue for me.

Did anyone else have this fixed? As of today, the songs still skip for no apparent reason. Its happened on my GS3 and Nexus 7 2013. Both rooted and unrooted.
Same Issue
I'm still having this problem using my nexus 5 and Nexus 10. Both are running Android 4.4.2 and app version 5.4.1413N.1048534.
I'm having the issue too. I was originally using power amp and thought it was that. But i went back to Google play and it's more prevelent there. I not only get songs that skip, i get songs that play with the wrong name( songs father down the playlist play ontop of another song name) or it adds sounds that arent supposed to be there. Ive even had a song playing in slowmotion. I used to never have this happen. Last time i did a transfer of music ( pc to phone) was almost a year ago.
I'm using the LG L90-4.4.2
I have the same problem on my head unit 4.2.2. Is it possible to force the PRIORITY for google music app?
Same skipping problem
I am having the issue quite a bit on my home wifi with sonos system playing through sonos app. Every 30 minutes or so, 2 or 3 songs in a row will play about 5 seconds and skip to the next. Really annoying when you actually like the song it is skipping. I'm using iPhones, iPads and windows computer with the sonos and it does it will all computer types. I am not hitting buttons inadvertently. Did anyone figure this one out?
I have the same problem on my ZTE Z820 Obsidian.
I have this problem, but not with this phone. I think it is related to some aspect of Google music. I am using BubbleUPnP to stream to a Raspberry Pi 3 running RuneAudio which has the Debian standard MPD player embedded in it. BubbleUPnP runs on 2 Android phones - Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (4.4.2) and Moto G5 (7.0).
When I stream from my own UPnP server, fine. When the streaming source is Google Play Music, I get these symptoms. No internet issues, no mobile data, just domestic broadband and ethernet/wifi LAN. Every 3 or 4 songs it just skips to the next track half way through a song. Maddening.
Hi guys, I have the same issue with my One Plus 5T. Did you find a solution?
thanks in advance
The problem went away, but I can't remember why. I think it may have been to do with the buffer in RuneAudio which was too small/big. Or maybe a new version of Play Music came along. Sorry.
Marmite.
At random times when i play music there isnt any sound coming out the the headphones. After pausing and playing, changing tracks or scrolling the track it suddenly starts working again. This happens at random times and gets pretty annoying. I have tried different Equilizers but no luck. Right now im using the Noozxoide Eizo rewire pro on xnote 20. Anything i can do to fix this? has anyone else experienced this?
Yep, mine does that occasionally. Haven't been able to pin down the cause as of yet.

Stock, N7, Winamp, Poweramp, Shuttle. All have the issue.
Full firmware reflash & data+cache wipe did nothing to resolve it.
It's not any specific song that has the issue.
Files on the SD or Internal make no difference.
Neither doe the EQ settings, headset vs speaker.
Adapt sound is disabled completely in applications.
It's not overly common (+-Once every 3 days of 12 hours listening), but it does happen.
Also at times it won't play the next song after the last one ended until I hit the power button to turn on the screen. Then it starts.
I suspect it has something to do with the notorious Mediascanner process. It's so bugged it probably gets stuck halfway through.
Yea i've tried mulitple 3rd party music players as well as the stock player. Im starting to think it might be equalizers.. I uninstalled the equilizer i was using which has worked fine for me on the stock music player, however, 3rd party music players still have the problem.
