Headphone controls pausing / playing wrong music

[Chris B82]

Sometimes when playing music through Play Music or Spotify, if hit the "play/pause" button on the headphones it will stop what I'm listening to (which is what I want), but then start playing music from the Samsung music app (which I don't want) - this is on a single press of the "play/pause" button the headphones...

I'd obviously prefer the button press to pause what I'm listening to and not start playing something else.

If anyone has a solution, or can point me in the right direction if you've seen that this has been answered somewhere else, it would be very much appreciated!

Is there something in the Samsung app's setting you can turn off?

Not that I can see in the app, and no option to uninstall it...

If you're rooted, you can freeze the app.

Have you tried going to settings->application manager->all->music player->clear defaults and seeing if that worked?

Thanks for your help guys.

Looks like there were two music apps doing this, and I hadn't disable the Samsung Hub music app, which I've done now and seems to have worked.

Phone's not rooted, but if the problem returns I'll give this a go!

Thanks again.

Removing the Samsung Music app as a default application, did the trick for me. I can now use my Samsung ear buds to skip songs and pause.
