Bug Description

This report originated from a customer support message...

Description: This is a weird issue but none the less it is annoying. I have installed the ubuntu one android mobile client on my Samsung galaxy s but it seems to have taken over the controls from the stock android media player. I have blue-tooth headphones which have player controls (play, pause, next, etc). After installing the client whenever I press play / pause on the headphone, the ubuntu one media player starts up. i've tried stopping / killing any unbuntu one / subsonic process / application running but it seems to have a life of it's own. I don't want to uninstall the application but have little choice. As I say it's weird but does need sorting.
Can you please raise a bug and get this addressed?

Hi,

this is the relevant information that describes the behavior of applications registering for media button events.

So it should be enough to start the default music player once and that will override the media button registration.
Unfortunately I can't test since I can't log in to ubuntu one right now :-(

hope that helps.
