[App help] Stock Music App Plays Automatically

[WarningU2]

I am a newbie with a HTC One (Bell Mobility) phone that I am very happy with having recently upgraded from an older HTC model. One oddity I have found is that the Music app seems to randomly play without me starting it. I have some references to this from googling this but I haven't seen a resolution. I use Poweramp anyways so was wondering ... one is there a way of stopping this behavior? And two ... any issue with disabling the stock Music app?

I have noticed that it starts when pairing to a Bluetooth connection, but mine does not start randomly. I don't have an fix either.

moved to app section so more help with other user who use the stock player can chime in.

if you have the stock music app set to activate when you use headphones, bluetooth phones, etc., long press on the apps icon, you should see "app info". tap that and go to the apps info screen. remove any defaults if any are set.

try a different set of headphones if you are using wired phones.

poweramp is a wise solution. google play is also a worthy recommendation if you will allow it to upload your files to its player.

welcome.

This can be the most ******** phone in the history of phones who ever created it had less intelligence than a dodo bird. To "fix" my bluetooth issue, i went app manager (under settings) - force stop *insert music app* - clear cache - set app to defaults . turned bluetooth off and on again. then it didnt play.

I used to have that random-music-start problem on my LG Optimus with WinAmp (but not the stock music player) before I rooted and moved to a custom ROM. The problem was inscrutable. I'd start with Marctronixx's suggestions above.
