Music suddenly starts playing on its own

Well as it happens I installed the iOS 4.1 GM last night on my iPhone 4 and twice since music has started playing by itself. Once when I started the Facebook app the music that was paused on my iPod started to play and another time when I was in another app. So I don't think iOS 4.1 will fix this. I wonder if some app is doing it?

I have a similar issue! My music will sometimes randomly play, especially when my headphones are in. Siri will sometimes randomly come on too, without me doing anything. Like if I'm on YouTube for example, sometimes my music will just come one and interrupt it or Siri will. My iPhone 4S is not even a year old yet! Also sometimes the music will pause itself or play super fast, like skipping somewhat. I thought all of this might have happened because sometimes I loose grip of my phone and the headphones get pulled out while playing music but I don't know if that's the cause. Also, could it be because its been dropped? I have a case so I didn't think that was the reason...they weren't too bad of drops either....

^ that also happens to me when I place my

iPhone down on like a table or something, the music will just start to play...or sometimes if I shake it too but rarely...help:( it's soo frustrating and I'm tempted to take it to apple to get it looked at...it's nearly new for gods sake hahaha

In my case, I carry two iPhones in my front pocket - one personal (4) and one business(4s) . When I bend over or kneel down the 4s will start playing music (the same song every time), or it will try and connect Face Time randomly to one of my contacts. It has to be a pressure thing, but I can't duplicate it.

same issue here, I have googled the earth and tried all the possible options, still the music kicks in randomly.

What I find really unreal is that Apple Support doesn't even monitor this forum and doesn't try to help.

Indeed in my case, I keep my iPad in my purse with the headphones plugged in and somehow the pause button was getting pushed. This has happened many times on my phone too, but I'm not sure if I had headphones plugged in, I'm assuming probably yes because the music is never blaring, you can barely hear it because of the headphones.

This happens to me also. I have an iPhone 6+ running IOS 9.2.1(13D15)

When I make a phone call, talk and then end the call, Apple Music starts up automatically after the call ends, and plays a random song from my iTunes library.

If I hit the home button twice to find and close the Apple Music app, its not opened so I can't swipe it to close it.

I actually have to find the apple music icon on my screen, click it, launch apple music, and then swipe to close apple music to end the song.

It won't happen again until I answer or make another phone call and hang up.

The common factor is that this behavior ONLY happens when I have a Bluetooth earpiece paired and actively connected to the phone via Bluetooth.

Since I use a Bluetooth earpiece for all my phone calls, this always problem happens. I tried using several different Bluetooth earpieces and the problem of the music starting after a call is ended is consistent regardless of which brand and type of Bluetooth earpiece is use.

If I disconnect and power off my Bluetooth earpiece and use the phone's built in speaker for calls, the problem doesn't happen.

Very strange. I wish Apple will release some kind of hotfix for this. The strange thing is that once it happens if I hit the home button twice to find and close the Apple Music app, its not opened so I can't swipe it to close it.

I actually have to find the apple music icon on my screen, click it, launch apple music, and then swipe to close apple music to end the song.

I have iOS 10.1.1 on iPhone 6+. Randomly at night while in that do not disturb mode music begins to play and wakes me up. It is the Apple music app even though the app isn't open. How do I stop this?
