Q: Bluetooth headset causing music library to autoplay after ending calls

Problem summary: any time I hang up a call using the bluetooth headset while the phone is locked (screen is off), the phone will begin playing music from my music library within a few seconds.

 

Here is some more detailed information:

  • This is currently occurring on an iPhone 6S Plus (ios9), but also occurred on my iPhone 5s (ios7).
  • This occurred with 2 different bluetooth headsets, although they were both the same model (Plantronics M50)
  • It doesn't matter if I close the Music app prior to making the call or not; it will play music when I hang up either way
  • The song that it plays appears to be random. It's not necessarily the last song I listened to, nor is it the one that would have come next on the playlist.
  • This is not an intermittent issue; it happens 100% of the time the following takes place:
    • A call is active through the bluetooth headset
    • The iPhone screen is off: either because I hit the power button to shut it off, or it turned off on its own during the call.
    • I use the button on the bluetooth headset to end the phone call

 

I have discovered several workarounds to this:

  1. If you hit the power button so that the screen lights up before ending the phone call, the autoplay will not occur.
  2. If you unlock the screen and hang up using the red hang-up touchscreen button, the autoplay will not occur.
  3. If you power off the bluetooth headset immediately after hanging up (before the 2-3 seconds that it takes the music to begin playing), the autoplay will not occur.

 

I thought this may have been an issue with my old phone, so I never looked too far into it. Since it now appears to be unrelated to the specific phone or OS, I'd love to get some feedback from you guys on this.

 

Thanks

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9

    The exact same thing is happening to me.  I have several Motorola headsets of different types and it happen with all of them.  I hate having to pause my music after it auto plays every time I end a phone call.  It happened on my iPhone 5 and now my brand new iPhone 6s Plus.  What a pain in the rear.  I hope someone is working on a fix for this.  It has to be happening to a bunch of people.

     

    Thanks for posting this.  Good to know I am not alone.

    It's also not just related to a Bluetooth headset but also occurs through the Bluetooth inside my car.  This is really frustrating and I see multiple threads as well as people who are suffering from the same fate.  I have yet to see an actual solution though that isn't temporary.

    This happens to me as well.  For me, I am using a Plantronics headset with my work land line and my iPad starts either playing my music library or an Apple Music trial.  So annoying. I have to reboot my iPad because I cannot get it to stop.  Even if I double tap my home button.  There is no app showing for me to swipe up to close.
