Weird problem with headphone jack/voice search?

[Jennifer Stough]

Weird problem here. When my phone is plugged into headphones or an aux cord, at random times, voice search will launch, place a 1 second call out to the most recent phone call, and hang up. This can happen a few times in a row. At first I thought it was an issue with Pandora, but now I'm convinced its a problem with voice search and my headphone jack after it occured while streaming video with headphones in. Any one else have this issue? It has occured since I got the phone, before and after the update. If I launch voice search without the headphone jack initiated, there is no issue.

No issues here, you could try clearing data in voice search and if that doesn't work it I guess there's a slight chance it could be a hardware issue with your jack.

Does your headphones have controls on the cord? Not all are compatible with jelly bean. You may be triggering a command from the cord.

It has a volume switch. But that's it. Its not a mobile headset.

Ive got the same problem with my DROID x2. Im pretty sure its the headphones. Possibly a short in the cord. I got a new set of ear buds and the problem stopped for a few months now its back. Both had the straight jack on earphones. I think the angled jack would have been a better choice. But I would say try different earbuds. seems to solve the problem for me. For a while anyway.

Subscribing to this thread since I seem to have the same issue but with a new HTC One.

The aux plug in question has no controls and actually plugs into a stereo system, specifically on a motorcycle. Since this happens while riding and I can't do anything with the phone, it is even more frustrating. Have to pull over, cuss like hell, kill the app (if it will stop) or reset the phone...

Is there anyway to completely disable or remove the voice search app?

Jen, did your issue cease after you rooted?

Sounds like a glitch with voice commands to me. What type of headphones or headset are you using ?

I would guess either a short in the headphone cord; or more likely, the jack isn't being inserted all the way, probably because of interference from a case.

I'm seeing this EXACT issue and it didn't start until after the move to 4.3. I'm not rooted running an AT&T HTC One.

Has anyone come across a solution yet?

To fix this what i did was disable hot word detection.

I had the same problem and i figured out that my phone only supports headphones that have a mic (3 lines on the jack, unlike ones without mic that have only 2) since the jack isn't the same they don't fit the entrance completely, so you should check if that's the problem... Hope I helped

But could you use the headphone that doesn't have a microphone? like the one that could listen music and it only have regular headphone powers but it doesn't have microphone that could listen what you speak. Because i try so many times but it doesn't works.
