Music player randomly skipping songs?

Hi guys,

I use the HTC headphones and use the Music player and it always randomly changes songs. Sometimes it will go several songs in a row without changing, but then out of the blue it will keep changing songs after a few seconds.

Is this happening for anyone else? I've checked that no buttons are being pressed. The screen is off and nothing is pressing anything. The only thing I can think of is that it is windy. Is there some hidden voice commands being triggered to cause the music player to change songs? Thanks.

P.S. I am on CleanROM 2.5

I just switched to trickdroid and it does the same thing with the HTC music player on that Rom too. When I just use the music player at the gym or at my desk it has no issue. Why does it unexpectedly change songs when I am riding my motorcycle? Hmmm.

I am on TrickDroid 7.5.0 and was having the same issue, however I also had this issue with another HTC phone (Inspire) and was able to fix it by using only earbuds / earphones that have a 4 conductor 3.5mm headphone jack. If you are using a standard 3 conductor jack, you are going to continue having this problem (however it usually only occurs with vibration to the phone with the latter plugs).

I fixed the issue of songs & skipping mp3's on the HTC One today by switching to 4 conductor earbuds (with a microphone). I also repeatedly pulled the headphones in and out of the jack rapidly about 20 times. Now I can run, jog, bump and shake the phone forever without a skip.

Hope this helps, it is annoying for sure!
