Often my phone will be in my pocket and I accidentally hold down the play button which opens up the media player and starts a song. How do I disable this?
Have you tried putting your phone inside a padded leather case? Instead of the buttons being the same height as the body of the phone, the buttons would be lower and less likely from being held down.
wat i do is, i go into the player and i put the volume to the lowest or i put it on mute, so if i accidentaly push the play button the music will play but no one will hear it, or you could just lock the phone
