nice.
just curious..what'd you tweak? got a diff?
It's possible to fix it without any kernel patch.
Go to music settings and uncheck "unpause on connect".
It looks like sometimes when you unplug a headphone the phone thinks you are plugging it in.

unfortunately that doesn't fix the problem.
It has been posted elsewhere, but here it is again.
The bug seems to come from the fact that the phone was designed for use with a 4-pin jack. Compare the jack on the stock headphones to one without inline mic.

Note the difference? The one on the right is the stock jack. The one on the left is a set of SkullCandy headphones.
If you unplug the stock headphones, no random music starting.
Unplug a non-4-pin headphone = Ghost Music.
Don't know if that matters or not but that is where the bug comes from.
This seems like a great way to think about it but I would half to turn this being the BUG as negative. Because Bluetooth users that have the music profile paired to their radio experience the same thing and it has no plug.
Many users of stock and compiled roms experience it with plug and/or Bluetooth.
*** EDIT ***
This happens to bluetooth setup with a droid in the office running cyanogen, its very repeatable when walk up to the car.

As the other users said it doesn't fix the problem but this option does help contain it. It still sneaks through here and there
Great! I wanted a fix for this for so long!!
Does this also fix the random song skipping that you can experience if you move the non 4-pin 3.5mm plug around while playing music?

I haven't looked at the bluetooth variation of this bug. Now that I am aware of it, I'll look to see if the two situations are due to a common cause. Initially I was just thinking it was the physical phone jack insert/removal that was the root cause.
I'd still like feedback from folks with wired headsets that can test this kernel for any improvement.
So far I haven't heard from anyone.

Ok take your stock headphones and plug in and unplug them 10 or 20 times and see how many times the music starts on its own.
Then take some non-stock 3-pin head phones and do the same thing. Post your results.
It may not be the only thing going on, however, it does help nail down the problem because as of this writing I have never had this issue with a four-pin jack but I have it every time I unplug a 3-pin jack.
As I said:
The Problem comes with the Musik2.1-update1.
In one of the ROM updates was an update of the Stock Music Player I think.
With the first ROMs there are no problems with Music.

Nope. I had this issue since day 1, with original stock rom.
Yes, really? Strange, I have this problem since one of the latest updates.
Has someone reported this problem to HTC?
In Germany, the Nexus One isn't officially buyable. My device is imported and I can't report this bug to HTC Germany.

Great this is killer bug that needs to go away, WE will all donate if you knock this out and get you another BIG cigar!
Here is link with even other people mentioning the bluetooth issue as well. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/877-randome-music-starts-playing/page__hl__audio
The headset 4 pin vs 3 pin def has an effect and causes issues but its not the only thing going on with all the reported problems.
It goes across multiple phones not just the Nexus
What did you configure / change in the your upload?
Thanks

Nope, you're wrong, I've used regular headset since day one, and I've never come across this issue.
It's more than likely an issue with faulty jacks making the rounds.
What regular headphones are you using? Can you confirm 4 or 3 pin jack?

ok im running 5.0.2H and it has stereo bluetooth right? have to make sure of that first lol.
In my car I dont have bluetooth, I just have the standard AUX input. So I was thinking of buying some type of adapter to plug into my AUX plug on my cars headunit that can then connect via bluetooth to my G1 to play stereo music.
Can someone recommend some good devices that would help me get this done? Thanks
didn't your G1 come with a headset??? if so you can plug any normal 3.5mm plug into it and it should work fine foger the dongle thing. personally mt G1 camr with a two piece headset, one that plugged into the phone and allowed a 3.5 mm headset plug, and the earbuds that plugged into the first piece. just get a male/male 3.5mm jack and plug it into the first piece, it should work fine
yes I know I can plug a stereo aux cable into my g1 with the dongle but I dont want to. i want to connect wirelessly via stereo bluetooth
any help please?
I've got a friend who uses this dongle with his car sound system and it seems to do the job pretty well: http://www.porta-charge.co.uk/accessory_0283.html
Also try searching google for '3.5mm bluetooth adapter' and a few show up with some reviews.
EDIT: Actually I think that device I linked to is a transmitter that plugs into his iPod and transmits to his bluetooth stereo. Try googling for '3.5mm bluetooth receiver', seems there's a couple of devices that will do that for you, they seem pricey though.
Something like this, perhaps? http://www.gadgetworld.co.uk/p/Mavizen_BluDock_Bluetooth_Receiver.htm
I'm gonna get this but it the website has really slow shipping times since it's from Hong Kong...

yeah godsfilth I was looking at that. can you please tell me how well it works with the G1? I was thinkign of that.

Looks good and a good price too. Pleast post how well it works when you get a chance. Are you running Haykuro?
Im interested in that too.. anyone confirm working?
So considering that godsfilth never posted his evaluation of the Motorola s705 I thought that I would. I figured the specs and price was good, it's still available for $30 from Amazon. Long story short, it works like a charm. For reference I'm now running Dudes .92 with the new radio.
The music streaming connected right away from the default media player. Play, pause, and track changes worked fine. If you hold the "phone" button it will do the voice dialing. I've always found it a bit flaky myself but that's android not the blue tooth adapter.
Once connected it basically acts as the mic and speaker for the phone. The only drawback is that the track controls on the device only work with the default media player. I use mixzing a lot, and the audio comes through fine but if i try to use the controls on the adapter it also launches the default player. I think this might be on the android side though.
Overall, it's well worth the $30.

(mentioned earlier by amgupt01) from DealExtreme for $13. Works like a charm - PlugnPlay. Never again wired headset!
Shipped in 9 days to Sweden (from HK) - actually it arrived to Sweden after 5 days - then the Swedish Postal Service went on vacation, obviously - Not bad, considering shipping is free from DealExtreme.

I just got the s705 in the mail today. The FM receiver works just fine but the BT is a little weird. Like benmyers2941 said, only the default music player will respond to the input from the headset. But when music is playing, every now and then, the playback would pause, then immediately resume at random times. I don't have a clue why. Could the device be faulty, is it my G1, or my FW. I'm running JF's 1.5.
Edit:
I think I have figured out why it was showing these symptoms. I did a wipe and switched to Haykuro's latest and the symptoms went away. After the wipe I realized that I was also running Open Overclock beforehand. If someone could try to use this device while running Open Overclock and confirm/deny that the symptoms are present, then that would point out whether it was the FW or Open Overclock.
Nope. I don't think it's Open OverClock. I think that the device is defective. It will only do that "pause and resume" thing when I'm walking. For what ever reason I can't fathom, it worked perfectly after i made the wipe yesterday. But today, it doesn't work properly. I even put both the phone and s705 in the same pocket. I've tried restarting both while on a walk, but that didn't help. Also, I've had regular conversations on my BT125 with no problem, the same with the default earbuds the phone came with. Does anyone know how I can determine which has the defect?
Well, the usual way - Try the s705 with another phone and/or try your G1 with some other A2DP headset. Can't see any other way to find who to blame.
/Mats
Hey,
Just a thanks to you guys for the headsup about the $13 bluetooth thingy from dealextreme, just got mine yesterday.
When I heard that the G1 had no 3.5mm jack I was really dissapointed.
As gadgeteer and an audiophile, I was keen to try bluetooth stereo out, but to be honest I wasn't really expecting much (I mean, the G1 doesn't even have a equalizer!)
How wrong was I! Sound quality is excellent, I truely am shocked! I could quite happily replace my Sony mp3 player with the G1 and stereo bluetooth.
This little bluetooth jack will keep me happy until the market in bluetooth headphones explodes after Apple enters the fray.
One comment though, sometimes I can hear the pitch of the audio speedup or slowdown.. not sure if this is the receiver or the phone, not too fussed about it though.
Oh, and having no wires running around your body totally rocks!
Yeah, after a few weeks, I'm still very satisfied. With my use (biking to and fro work) it lasts > one week between charges. Haven't noticed any pitch drift - but then all I listen to is .977 The 80s Channel using StreamFurious. Beats the hell out of any OTA radio station where I live!
One thing - Without using too great force, I managed to pry away the clip - and the spring just vanished into thin air! The clip was easy to put back, but now it's just dangling there. So be carfeul when "operating" the clip.

Maybe it's just bad luck.
I bought one pair of these off ebay and the microphone didn't work.
It's paired and connected for phone and music. Music control and playback is great. When a phone call comes, the music stops and plays my ring tone in my ear. I answer with the button on the side, but this is where the problems start. While in a phone call I can hear the other person, but they can't hear me. The microphone simply doesn't work. I try tapping and blowing to register any sound, and there's nothing.
All the websites say this is supported by the G1, but I'm starting to not believe it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Am I doing something wrong?
Then I bought a pair from Best Buy. Same thing.
Thank you.
The same thing happened to me actually when I was testing out various bluetooth headsets. Looked like a bit of an idiot in town talking to myself haha. I've not had a chance yet to test a different headset and indeed if the recent fixes (look in the development section for the thread by Meltus) actually work.
Well, IDK, because I have Cupcake and it doesn't work. I think I'm just gonna throw in the towel and return the Best Buy one... and use it just for music, not phone calls...
Official Cupcake (OTA) or a modified one? If you haven't already I would recommend rooting your mobile phone and slapping on the Dude build, this along with the Meltus audio mod has fixed the bluetooth issue.
In my signature there is a link to the FAQ if you need instructions on how to root etc.
Oh man. I used to mess with my Wing so much. I had open touch, touch it, thought about ICP, and everything, but the G1 seems like something I really shouldn't mess with. It seems too... integrated.
On top of that, are there any guarantees this would make my s9-hd work in call?

I have the S9 headset and works fine with my phone, i am running JF1.5
s9-hd
i have the s9-hd bought from someone off of craigslist. pairs perfectly and bass hits hard
Hmm... guess I am s.o.l. Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I think I'm just cursed.
The music is great, the sound quality in call is great, but the mic won't connect, or something.
i had the same problem while on JF 1.51 so i decide to try another rom and it been working fine on cyanogenrom idk if ur into the rooting of ur g1 but that seem to be the only fix for me
I am using the S9 SYN1902 A, they work fine for me on jf 1.50 and jf 1.51.
I had some problems with the s9-hd at first on my G1, but have eventually grew to really like it. I wear it everywhere listening to podcast and shoucast streams using Streamfurious. It has worked about the same using the stock mod and now CM 3.8.6.1.
1. first off it didn't fit my head, but kept stretching it before each use and after about 5 days it now fits perfectly and I can wear it for hours without any fatigue or ear strain.
2. You have to make sure that you turn bluetooth on the G1 first for auto-pairing to work properly.
3. I'd like to get an arm case for the G1 because the audio will cut out by having it in pants pocket. I can use it no problem by placing it in my laptop bag on the go.
4. I have had a strange problem with pairing the headset set, but that was resolved by turning off the radio and turning it back on.

the first ones (they come with different sized buds)
JJ, they are more like the in-ear version (but I would say they are not quite as tight as other noise-cancelling in ear headphones I have tried - a good balance imho).
I have this set for almost a year now using it daily (while commuting to work, during exercise, commuting home, and sometimes in the evening while hanging out at home). They have really worked great and I have definitely gotten A LOT of use out of them. However I think they are finally starting to flake out on me. They still work, but not the colored light no longer flashes while I charge it, tho it still seems to charge. Also, some other times while working out the volume starts to beep uncontrollably. Turning the headset off and on again doesn't always work, so I think some sweat might be seeping into the unit causing it to short out. After leaving the unit sit for a while (1hr+) it again seem to work just fine. go figure. Also the adhesive on the back of the unit is definitely starting to peel more and more. If I am unable to mod the S9-HD to breathe more life into it I might be back in the market for a new A2DP headset in the near future.

can anyone recommend a quality fm transmitter? dont have an aux input in my car radio (damn thing has everything else but no input!).
I believe belkin might make a mini usb transmitter. But u can use on of those tape deck converters with a headphone attached. That's what I use from time to time. I'm not sure if ur radio has a tape deck lol considering its dead tech lmao
lol! My radio's not that old. Couple of years but was one of the better pioneers. Quite a few bells & whistles, sat. radio, ect., just no stupid aux input!
this one is £4.99 ($8.15656) it is really good once you find a free frequency and powering it from the car cigarette lighter is a must because it is SH*T when running it from batteries
Are you sure it doesn't have an aux round the back?
I picked up an FM transmitter from Netto for £1.99 or £2.99 a while back, quite big though. They were selling it as "Wireless headphones" as it came with some FM headphones.

In Italy is not possible to use it as described. The problem? No free fm freqeuncy, and even if found one in the car is mandatory to change frequency to find new frenquently. So useless, the only solution can be to remove the camble of the antenna and to put it near the fm trasmitter but in this case we have to rennunce to the fm radio.

Same for me. I have the Belkin transmitter, but never could use it.
You just struggle to find a free frequency, and a few kilometers later, it is all jammed already.
I even tried to find something like 3 different frequencies for different parts of my daily trip... and I failed...
And even when I found some working frequencies, sound was rarely free from perturbations.
Note that country legislations are different (I am in France) and maybe in us you can have a transmitter with stronger emission, which might improve the situation a bit.
( linked Belkin product : "This product is compliant with the EU standard for Band II Low Power Devices for use in Germany, Switzerland and Iceland" so maybe try a US version instead ? )
I did not try unplugging external antenna. If it did solve the problem, you would have to find a way to have a switch to plug/unplug it... (not so easy !)

for me the only solution that can let it work properly is to find the cable of the antenna in the car. After discovered out where is located try to put the trasmitter very close to the antenna cable. It can work. Another solution can be to reduce a little the power of receiving signals of the antenna, that can let to listen good the frequency well trasmitted and at the same time to
free some others.
Found this on Cellphoneshop.com
http://www.cellphoneshop.net/dashfm.html
Dude fmtalk kicks ass!!
update: I tryed to use the fm trasmitter buyed without the battery but only using the alimentation from the car. The things seems to work really good now. Even with a not clear radio station is trasmitting with more power and the signal of the fmtrasmitter is going over other signals.
If is possible to reduce a little the power of the car's antenna it will be really really perfect!
Here is one from Dealextreme.com.
Pros:
Cheap
Puts out a strong FM signal
Remote is nice, even though it's goofy looking
Charges and transmits at same time.
Cons:
Low Volume
Bad bass output
Takes forever to arrive.
Cheap plastic.

Yep, just got mine today as well. Works fine, remote is goofy as hell (have yet to try it though). It could fit a little snugger, but it holds will concidering the extra thickness with my battery.
No weird hissing and strong output with pandora and music on my sd card.
4/5 for it "just working", but doing it well.
Hi,
Does anyone know if any of the 3.5mm wired headsets with at least an answer button would work with Optimus 7? Winter is coming and it would suck to have to take out the phone and take off gloves just to answer a call.
I've just tried the one from Samsung Galaxy S and the phone didn't respond to the answer button on it.
Thanks,
Alan.
Update: I feel really stupid but I didn't notice neatly designed answer button. It's there. Problem solved.

Hmmm... My Optimus 7 came with a wired headset that works really well (with an answer button that doubles as a play/pause button). But I am in Canada, so it might just be a Canadian thing. Where are you at?

Mine also came with a button and i live in Sweden. It should be the same everywhere.
Haha. Silly me. Didn't notice that it's a button on the other side of the mic. Thanks and sorry for this thread!

Btw, double-clicking it works as next in Zune. Great.
And tripple-click is almost back. It starts the song that is playing right now from start. Havn't found a way to make step one track back.
Sony MW600 with W3 Westone's
I picked up a Sony MW600 Bluetooth headset dongle. It's about the size of a double A battery and has an LED screen which tells you the number calling, allows you to connect 3 bluetooth device simultaneously, has volume control, and has a play, pause, next, and back button for use with media... it sounds better with my Westone W3's plugged into it then plugged into the phone! It seems to only be available in eBay - I can't find it in stores in NA at all... do a search on it... fantastic product - worth every dime I paid (like $50 bucks)

I can only agree with you, multipoint works just great (I´m Jusing 4 devices...) oh and btw the soundquality is great (could be better, indeed but at this size..)
But I'm wondering why the MW600 don't show the actual music title (It does on Win7 MacOsX and Android)

I won one and still haven't used it. =s
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I have the MW600 also. Hopefully the next update of the WP7 OS will enable the display of the names in agenda in calls also the track names when playing music.
Is it fully compatible with Optimus 7?
My original headset broke down and i'm looking for something new.
Actually I have a problem in defining what is compatible with the optimus 7 (or WP7) and what is not.
I had a pair of Apple in ear (3 buttons + mic) and the mic doesn't work, while the central button does. Any other solution i thought about has 3 buttons and i'm not sure it will work. I don't like risk, too, and I don't want to pay 80€ for something i'm not sure it work.
So this Sony MW600 appeared to me as a nice solution and relatively cheap. I'm just willing to know if it works properly.
Thankyou in advance.
I just found a new Mango feature with the original (and possibly other) headset:
I don't really know if this is a new Mango feature but as far as I can recall it did not work before.
You can use the button on the mic to control music playback. This is how it worked before Mango:
1 tap: play/pause
2 taps: next track
3 taps: restart track
After the mango update, three taps go back to the previous track if you do it right after the track started playing.
If you already are in the middle of a track, three taps will restart the track.
Really a useful feature in my opinion.
Can anyone post the model number of the original/oem headset?
I bought my phone used, and would like to purchase one.

Thanks!
FYI, I recently bought another OEM LG headset on eBay which allows me to use the same advanced multiple tap music control functionality and also lets me use my own headphones with the mic/remote.

You are welcome. I will probably buy one like yours soon. These in ear headphones just don't want to stay in my ear!!!
My Atrix worked flawlessly for the last 6 months on Jokersax's ICS rom and CM9. Last month my headphones stopped working, and a work or so ago speakerphone stopped working. 2 days ago the ear speaker went out. The mic is still working fine, I just get no audio whatsoever.
Any ideas?
It's at a repair shop at the moment, but the guy called and said he's not seeing any issues with the speaker itself.
If it is software, what might fix this? I even tried flashing a new rom with no fix.
My first question is does the headphone out work? I would guess that if the headphone jack audio is fine then you might need to replace or repair the jack on the phone. There is a switch built into it that cuts sound to the speakers when headphones are plugged in. It is unlikely for that to stick, but not impossible. Fortunately. That repair is very easy to do. I have pics of it somewhere. I'll put them online if you need them.
If it isn't that and you can't find audio at the headphone contact points on the board you probably are going to need a new board.

Headphone was the first thing to stop working.
My ear speaker also stopped working. I tried flashing different roms but apparently the problem won't solve. My first guess is this is a hardware issue. Try do the same as in order to make sure.
This is exactly what happened to me. All of my audio outputs were shot. But if I whacked my phone against my hand, sometimes the headphones would work, so I'm betting on hardware. I have tried multiple roms but none seem to work. You can try flashing a GB rom, like Neutrino, with a full wipe, just to make sure its not software. GB roms have all of the official drivers needed for this phone, so they would be the roms that most likely fix it, if it is software.
PS: JdgM3NT4L if you could please put those pics of the headphone switch on here or direct me to them, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to see if that makes a difference on my Atrix. Thank You

You know what, I am so sorry that I let this slip. Here are the photos and an observation.
First pic shows the headphone jack from inside of the phone.
I simply removed the battery cover, removed 8 screws and gently pried the back off.

This photo shows me beginning to remove one of the contacts.
This one shows one of the contacts removed.
And this one shows the camera board where the headphone jack makes contact.
And if you want to simply replace the whole jack it comes out easily, those are available on ebay.
If I was not able to repair your problem by taking those pins out and checking them for breaks, and possibly re-bending them back into shape.
I think that I would consider either a new jack. Or a new camera board, since that is the first point of contact. Also that is where I would check for audio. It would be a little difficult getting the battery in place and manipulating the phone to play while it is apart, but doable with enough resolve.
Please accept my apologies for not responding sooner. I really meant to get to this way before now...
