Headphones launch app

[czeamer]

A long time ago I set the app to automatically open when I plug headphones into my phone. I no longer want it to open but can't seem to find the setting to turn it off. How do I make it stop launching when I plug in headphones?

Hey there, @czeamer. 👋

What is the make and model of your device?

Could you try viewing your options from the Headphones / Bluetooth section of your Android device?

Let me know which settings you see. If you're able to share a screenshot - this would be helpful too.

I look forward to hearing back! 🎧

Thanks for getting back to me. I have an LG G7 ThinQ. I have Bluetooth settings but no headphone settings for some reason. I've been looking everywhere.

@czeamer I've been looking for more information about this setting.

Your specific settings may look a bit different on your device, but could you try out the following?

• Go to your Settings > Click on General
• From the General tab scroll down to Smart Functions > Click on Smart Settings
• From your Smart Settings, you should be able to toggle the relevant setting to Off

Let me know how it goes. 🎧

I think that's what I used to get it to do that in the first place. But maybe it was programmed on my last phone and transferred the setting to this phone? For some reason I don't have smart settings on this phone.

Oh. I found that Verizon doesn't have smart settings or context awareness on their phones. I switched to Verizon when I got this phone. Oh well. Thanks for the help though!

@czeamer You mentioned plugging in your headphones so it sounds like you may using wired headphones. 

However, you're using Bluetooth headphones, I would recommend unpairing your headphones from your LG ThinQ phone. Then, re-pair the connection to see if you're able to make an adjustment to this setting.

If you're on the Android 10 OS Version, you may be able to change  this setting using these steps:

• Open Settings and choose "Extensions," then select "Context Awareness."
• From here, you can scroll down to "When earphones are connected".
• If you don't see this setting, you may be able to use the magnifying glass to search for "Context Awareness".

If you still have trouble, I would definitely recommend contacting the manufacturer or your wireless provider to offer further assistance with managing that setting.

Please keep me updated on your progress. 🎧
