My iphone starts playing music when I'm not even touching the phone

My iphone 4 starts playing music when the phone is in my purse and I'm not touching it or even going through my purse. I've tried making sure the ipod is not set to a song but rather to a menu screen when I close it. Sometimes I haven't even used the ipod recently. My phone also calls people when I'm not touching it. Does anyone else have this problem? It must be something I'm doing but I can't figure out what it could be. I'd appreciate any help!

Mine plays music when I have the iPhone 4 in my pocket and bend over a little, I know that kinda 'scrunches' the phone slightly but no other iPhone I've had ever did this and I've treated them all the same. I'll be walking along, pick up something and then the music starts playing. I don't touch anything, never attach headphones, basically the phone is asleep but somehow something triggers the music to start playing. I've entered this as a separate thread but no one seems to know why this happens. I suppose I could take the phone back and exchange it for a new one, but it would be better to know what is causing this.

  • My brand new iPhone 6 Plus showing call time 2 hrs 41 mins when I did not even use the phone yet! Did I just purchased a used phone?

    Hi,
    Can anyone advise why my brand new iPhone 6 Plus showing Lifetime 2 hrs 41 mins under Settings/Call Time? I did not even use the phone to make call yet!
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    SC.

    Hi
    I meant when they test a percentage of devices as part of quality control - to make sure that a particular batch of phones is defect free and market ready
    The Call time is apparently the total time one spends talking on the phone between total resets and wipes

  • My phone has started playing music when it connects to Bluetooth in my car. How do I stop it?

    With this last update, my iphone5 starts playing music every time it connects via Bluetooth in my car. I close the app but when I hang up from a call, the music starts again.  How do I turn this feature off?

    The iphone starts playing music automatically when it connects to either of the car stereos via bluetooth and I don't want it to as it drains the phone battery. This is particularly annoying on the ford as the car stereo doesn't even support streaming music!
    I don't want to lose the bluetooth connection as I need to make phone calls.
    Does anyone know how to switch off the automatic start for the music without losing the bluetooth connection?

  • Hi,does anyone know how the Iwatch will play music when it is not near a bluetooth device as it is stated in the feature setting..Icloud streaming,internal hard drive?

    Hi,does anyone know how the Iwatch will play music when it is not near a bluetooth device as it is stated in the feature setting..Icloud streaming,internal hard drive?

    I did not hear them state the feature requirements directly in the streaming even but there are statements on the Apple website that clearly say that an iPhone is necessary.  I'm guessing that other than Bluetooth for pairing with the iPhone, it's just not technically possible to fit any other radios such as WiFi or LTE into that form factor or battery capacity.  I don't even remember them mentioning if it had a speaker or could pair directly with bluetooth headphones.
    While I'm hoping that the watch has a reasonable stand-alone feature set, they didn't make it clear what exactly it can and can't do without an iPhone nearby.  I also hope that they communicate this better in the coming days.

    Do a reset press& hold power button&a menu button hold both down wait for Apple Logo you will not lose any data
    that should solve the problem.

  • IPhone starts playing music automatically when connecting to bluetooth

    I'm having an issue where my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1) starts playing music/podcasts as soon as it connects to the bluetooth audio in my car, even when neither the music app nor the podcasts app is open at all. This is extremely annoying because every time I get in my car it starts regardless if I want to listen to anything or not, and I'm forced to take my phone out and shut it off every time. At first, I thought it was a glitch with the podcasts app, so I deleted it, but it's still doing it through the music app. The weird thing is, while it's playing, if I open the music app, the "Now Playing" button doesn't appear. But if I double click the home button in the lock screen, or go to the music controls by double clicking on the home screen, it does show what's playing. I have no idea how to make this stop short of shutting off bluetooth, but I don't want to do this in case I want to use the phone itself while driving. Please Apple, fix this soon!

    I am having a similar issue with my new IPhone 4 and my cars Bluetooth audio
    The music on my iphone just randomly starts playing whenever I enter my vehicle. This happens eventhough I have paused the music
    On one occasion the music was playing at the same time as I was on a phone call.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s start playing music when I connect to a bluetooth unit?

    I have recently bought a new 4s and have attempted to use it with my Automedia handsfree bluetooth unit in the car. The phone worked fine with my previous (Android) phone, but whenever I receive a call on the 4s it starts playing music through the bluetooth unit as well as the telephone conversation. This does not happen when I make a call. Any suggestions on how I can stop the music playing? (The phone wont let me swap to the music player to put the music on hold either.) Any help greatly appreciated as this is really annoying.

    I considered that too, but when I double clicked the home button to show what apps were running, there was nothing there. I just don't understand how anything would have opened because I hadn't touched my phone in several minutes.

  • IPhone Randomly Plays Music when Headphones Unplugged

    Hi, kind of a strange problem...
    Sometimes, seemingly at random, when I unplug my headphones, music will start playing out of the speakerphone. It's always Achtug Baby by U2 (I see why it's Achtung, starts with A but why U2 I dont know, lol).
    Just wondering if I'm somehow doing something that would cause this behaviour or if this is a documented bug.

    There's already a thread on this here where you might be able to find answers/reasons http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7871760#7871760

  • Disable iPhone from playing music when plugged into USB in vehicle?

    Drives me crazy because when I plug iPhone into my USB on GMC Terrain it goes to iPhone music.  How can I stop this? 

    I agree with this persons comments.  Toyota insists that this issue is caused by the Apple iphone.  The car is only receiving the signal.
    I have attempted to remove all music files from the iphone,  but the iphone will not allow me to do this.  It automatically saves one music file in memory and then plays that song EVERY time I plug the phone into my car. 
    It might be time to try a Samsung phone...

  • Why does my Ipod start playing music when I set it on the Speaker dock?

    Everytime I set it on the speaker dock it starts playing the same song without pushing any buttons, even when I just want to charge the Ipod.

    Are you using the remote that came with the Apple TV? If so, on the Mac open System Prefs > Security and Privacy and click the "advanced" button. Select the option to "disable remote control infrared receiver" and click OK and close Sys Prefs.

  • 8330 starts playing music when disconnect​ed from MS Sync

    I put a bunch of MP3s on a micro card and installed it in my Curve 8330 yesterday, now every time I get out of my car (Lincoln MKS) the phone starts playing one of the MP3s over the phone's speaker.  This happens no matter what I was using the phone for (if anything) when I turn the car off.

  • 4s starts playing music when I dock it

    I don't want it to do this, but every time I put it in the dock on my clock radio, it just begins playing random music. Is there a way to stop this?

    That's a function of the device you're docking with, not the phone. The phone is only doing what it's instructed to do.
    Check the manual for your clock radio.

    Hello,
    If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
    I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
    Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
    - close all apps by multitasking....
    - do NOT keep the brightness to the max
    Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
    Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language)
