Headset skipping/previous track button combos problems when phone is locked

[andrewilley]

@rg94130 To check if this is the Google app bug, roll the 'Google' app back to original defaults and see if that corrects the problem. Unfortunately it will update itself automatically fairly soon, but you can check if that's the issue anyway.

Simply enable Show On Lock Screen in PA Settings within Lock Screen. The earphone remote buttons will start working properly.

@Amitoj Singh Show on Lock Screen is a visual thing, the wired or BT headset buttons should work whether you have this enabled or not.

Samsung A54, running on Android 14, worked sometimes but it's not working now. Long press to skip works correctly. Here's the log:

@Rachidulric thanks for log, but no double press there. Double press is 2 presses within 600ms, while from your log these are two presses within 1.8 sec.

I also suspect the device issuing the button presses might be reinterpreting them too, and transmitting its own variations. In your example, the first BUTTON_DOWN event (button has been pressed) and its following BUTTON_UP event (button has been released) are far too close together for human dexterity - just 1ms apart.

16:19:51.537 PSMediaButtonReceiver android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE ACTION_DOWN 
16:19:51.538 PSMediaButtonReceiver android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE ACTION_UP

Hey, my phone somehow activated the "ignore repeated presses" by itself lol, disabled it and the double skip works again.

@Rachidulric Great, glad you got it sorted. I rather suspected the headphones were applying some sort of logic of their own to the button events.
