The moment I get in my car, it starts playing "Life is Good" or other pre-loaded crappy music that's on my phone. How do I stop this?
I know that if I have any other music on my phone's storage, it will start playing that instead but I prefer to use streaming music and it's really annoying that I have to stop it every single time.
Wow that sounds horrible lol. If I had to guess, it would probably be that it's playing the flac files located in Preload/LG seeing as 01_Life_Is_Good.flac is the name the first file. Maybe try moving those up a level or two or rename them to .bak

That's strange. Mine doesn't play anything until i tell it to. Does the car have a menu option auto play? I assume you prob messed around with it already.

Mine doesn't automatically play either. Ford Sync, Malladus 1.2.2 ROM, Verizon device.

Some love it but I personally think it is one of the useless feature in car.
I don't think there is any option on vehicle but I will check. It is setup as if it hits play as soon as it establishes connection.
I moved them out of LG Preload folder but music player stills finds them. If player finds them, BT will still auto play them. I will just delete them to stop this. However it doesn't solve the problem which will return when I add any other music to my phone, in that case that will start playing.
I will check around car forums.
Thanks for confirming this is not Android related issue.

Auto play is a feature of A2DP just as auto connect is. There is mostly likely a setting somewhere in the vehicle's system to shut it off. If not, well then just remember, life's good...
You could remove the preloaded music files, cant play them if they arent there. I also use the app Bluetooth connect and play. It starts any app you want when a specific bluetooth connection is made.
This happened to me, it was google music, or play music, whatever your default music player is usually does this. Sometimes its poweramp, or other.. but usually it was google music for me. IN music settings, turn off bluetooth or auto connect.

But I want to keep some music files in my phone - eventually..
What I need is the way to hide music files from Music Player unless I play them back using something like ES Explorer or other file manager, or until I browse in Music app.

I can't find Music Settings, is it in the app or general settings somewhere?
If I turn off Bluetooth or auto connect then will I still be able to play streaming music? I really don't mind if I can disable auto play or bluetooth streaming for Music Player or Google Play Music since I probably will never stream stored music from my phone via bluetooth, all of my stored music is generally duplicated on my car anyway..
Another way to solve this issue would be to assign another dummy Music player as default music player, and when it runs it won't be able to find music that's stored on the phone.
Open up google music, then go to settings or menu and look for the autoconnect and or blue tooth settings and disable. It only disables Bluetooth for that app. BT will work other wise.

It's better when it is not forced on you by a few kids in Vienna Choir... Maybe I should put a random file with silence like 5 minute mp3 file of silence.. It won't help if I listen to something else and then turn the music player off because when I come back it won't go back to the 1st song, it will resume playback from where it left off, so still, just a temp ghetto fix won't really help.

Which music app are you using? I can just downgrade or use 3rd party music player that has option to disable autoplay or bluetooth connection, and then set that music app as my default app, and give that a try in the car.
I am pretty sure vehicle hits Play as soon as Bluetooth or "D800" is selected as source on my dash radio.
PS: I wonder if we should move this thread into a regular Android discussion area, looks like this is not specific to LG G2..

I use pandora mostly, but poweramp is my default player and has been for sometime. There are some options under the connections for BT to turn off auto play and other BT streaming options in there as well. MY car also auto connects but there is something on the phone telling it to start playing, and or something has the life is good set to your notification? so when you do connect it plays that sound as a notification?

Nope, Life is Good is the 1st song. If I remove that then it will start playing 2nd song. It is actually playing using media player, so it is not notification. So if I delete all Vienna Choir stuff, it won't have anything to play, if I add Led Zeppelin, it will start playing the Led, more bearable, but still annoying..
Does poweramp have the option? I will try it.
If we could find a way to block Music Player from Bluetooth access controls, that would also work, but there is no such setting in 4.2.
OK, I installed Poweramp, set it as Default player, disabled Resume on Bluetooth and then stopped Music Player related services, we'll see what happens now.
Update:
It didn't work. I tried poweramp and even with that as default player, I got LG music start playback. I had the option unchecked in poweramp .

Hi all,
My TD2 has started acting very strange when playing music, after 1 to 2 mins it stops when using TF3D music player.
I read some other posts that had a similar problem and followed the fixes but it has not helped me.
My music stops even if the screen is alive (ie on mains adapter)
I tried removing all the htc album art and folder.jpg from the music folders but that has not helped.
I have also checked the micro SD power save settings to see if that was the problem but sadly not.
Im not sure what i should try next except a hard reset (i really do not look forward to restoring all my settings) so i hope you can share some more ideas
thanks
Just to add this problem is only present when using TF3D music player, but not when using core player
join the club
I only have this problem with win6.5
with 6.1 every thing is perfect
u canm use pocket player
it will not turn off the screen when playing but it will only go dim
and it will work good and its power consumption is good
I too am using 6.5 and manila 2.5, but im not sure what has been the cause of the problem.
Last week everything was working fine, the only thing ive changed since then is adding some more albums. I have tried removing the new albums but still the problem persists.
Very unusual
I just tested this on the ROM in my Sig and am not having this issue.
Perhaps it is ROM related? Are you all on the same ROM?
im using HG R6 same as you :S

Interesting.
Then it would have to be either the way the music is stored, or an issue with your storage card.
I know that with cheaper storage cards, the data transfer rate is less than the higher quality ones.
FWIW, I don't have my music organized, just one folder for Music, sub folder for Praise and Worship Music and a second subfolder for recorded songs from Resco Radio (in case I already have the song in the music folder.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried copying the music to another SD card and the problem persists, so i think it is safe to rule out SD card fault
I have my music arranged on the card the following way
Music folder on root of the card
Inside music folder i have a seperate folder for each album
Inside each album folder there are the MP3's and folder.jpg
My music has been stored like this since i have had the device (since TD2 released in UK) and it has not been a problem before.
I think a hard reset at the weekend may the best solution
First, the get-outs. I don't use the HTC player, nor your ROM, nor even WM6.5, so I might be talking crap here. But, perhaps the problem might be corruption of the music database file, specially since it started since you loaded more albums on. I've seen this with other devices (specifically Cowon) before.
The database file seems to be AudioManager_Eng.vol, which is in \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
Since you're considering a hard reset anyway, nothing to be lost from deleting this file (if it allows you to, you might have to shut down TF first) and letting the music player recreate it again.
Apologies in advance if a) this has been mentioned elsewhere b) it doesn't apply to WM6.5 any more, and c) it screws up the muisc player!
Thanks for the suggestion, i deleted the music database and it did no harm
When i launched TF3D music tab it took a while to rebuild the database but sadly it has not remmedied the problem
Does music play properly from TD2 internal storage? Might be a clue, if it does.
I know you didn't ask for the suggestion(!), but why not use a good but simple 3rd party app like Nitrogen? It loads very quickly, as though it was a "native" app, you can get skins which are very plain, black, with good album art. And it plays more formats too. I've honestly never been tempted back to the TF3D player since using it.
playing music from internal storage exhibits the same problem
playing music from 3rd party music app (core player) works correctly.
Getting closer to solving this, i hard reset my phone earlier but the problem persists.
So i delete all my music and add 1 album at a time.
so far no problems
I can only conclude either one of my tracks/albums is corrupted in some way and freezes TF3D when it reads the library OR there is a limit to how big your library can be. mine was over 12gig.
either way im gonna keep adding an album a time, reset phone then test until i find the bad album. when i do i will remove the bad album and try adding another, this should prove if its a size problem or just some bad file.
Plz keep us informed about ur progress in solving this problem
and No using 3d Pary Programs Like nitrogin or core player doesnt solve the problem

Harking back to my Cowon D2 experience, it took just one album to corrupt the database. It could be badly tagged, or the tags contained accented foreign characters which the player didn't like, and it would freeze the player. It's a pain in the posterior to find out which album is responsible
.
Ok i have solved my problem (well found it)
There is 1 album in my collection that causes TF3D to Stop playing music when it tries to add the album to the database.
Im not sure why though!
All the tracks play fine in other players, all the ID3 data is legit and not containing any unusual characters and the bitrate is only 160 so its not too much for the phone to take.
When i get home i will rerip the album to mp3 and have another go.
I hope this thread may be of help to others with this trouble!
lesson here seems to be its not the software causing the problem but the media its trying to play, although the reason is not evident

search this forum for the word "music" im sure i seen a topic about this very problem
I had the same issue a while ago.
Turned out there was one album on my SD card (Lungs, by Florence and the Machine) that was causing the TouchFlo music player to stop playing any song. I removed that album and the problem went away.
I still have the album on my computer, doesn't seem to be anything unusual about it.
i need a bit of help. i'm using bluetooth linking to my car and everytime it queues the phone for music when the link is established then the phone will pull the default music player. i want to change it so that i can have winamp start instead of the default player. its getting rather annoying..
Try going to settings/applications/manage applications/all tab scroll to media room select it then hit clear defaults. Media room is heavily incorporated into the Sense framework so it might be greyed out and not fix your issue but it's worth a try.

Late reply, but here are a couple options that might help, depending on your needs:
Personally, I want Google Play Music to auto-play when I start the car, and I don't use Apollo at all. So in settings - apps - all - Apollo, I simply disabled it. Now GPM takes over.
If you don't want ANY music to happen over the BT car link, but you do want phone, (for me) it works to go to the details settings screen of the BT pairing and disable Music Profile while leaving Phone.
If your question is just how to disable auto-play, then I don't know how to help, sorry.
First of all I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read/respond to my post. I have an unrooted Note 3.
My issue is when I use my jaybird bluebuds x or monster isport freedom bluetooth headsets with my Note 3 the next track buttons do not work. Well.. let me rephrase that. When I hit the next track button is launches the samsung music app and skips that track.
So the button is being registered but it's not working for the active player. Like if I'm listening to pandora and hit next track then the samsung music app launches and skips that track instead.
Is there any way to force (using tasker or something without rooting) the phone/headset to recognize the current active music player instead of the default samsung player?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
It's more likely the app doesn't recognize headset controls.
I've never had stock music player pop up when using the controls with N7player. But it has a menu for headset controls...

Disable the Samsung player in Settings and try? I usually always keep the default apps all disabled and use PowerAMP for my music, never fails me when I use my BlueBuds X.

How do I disable the samsung player in settings? Are you referring to settings for bluebuds bluetooth, cuz I didn't know you could specify specific aps.
I prefer to stream my music so I don't have to organize my music. That's why I use pandora/slacker and not PowerAMP. Thanks though.

Hello my androids,
Does anyone of you know how i can use spotify as the default music player? Like it will start up when i start my car, just like what the default music player does.
Thanks!

Spotify won't do that. If you dont have a data connection, Spotify takes several clicks to start. Which is why I am going back to Google Play Music. GPM will start from the last part of the song you were on like an old cd player would.
if you do not have a data connection at start (i have Spotify Premium and my songs downloaded), I have to click on Spotify, wait for it to say i have no data connection, then click on my library, then click on playlists, then click on the playlist i want, then click the shuffle button

Thx for the reply man:good:! Yea i do the same as you do, guess nothing to do about that then, would be grate if this would be possible some day.
I just got the new Joying 2GB RAM, Intel units, mine is the 8 inch. So i have currently gone back to Google Play Music. I also have the paid plan there. so far it works great.
I start a playlist, drive, park, turn off the Jeep. Come back to the Jeep, start the Jeep, and when the unit comes back on, as soon as it recognizes the external storage, it pops up GPM and has the song I was listening to on the screen, I just have to press the Play button.
As an added bonus, Google Play Music allows you to assign a Playlist to a Widget. For example, say I have a playlist called "Jeep Beats", then I can go to the Widget section, find the one for GPM, and when I put it on the homescreen it pops up asking me what playlist to assign it to, and i pick Jeep Beats.
later on, be it an hour or a week, I get in the Jeep, on the home screen press my Jeep Beats widget and it opens up Google Play Music right to that Playlist.
double added bonus, GPM does not restrict your number of downloads like Spotify. well they do, but it is like 50k or something, whereas Spotify has 3,333.
But i love my Spotify
Subscribed, interested in this as well!
You can set the default navigation app (at least on my Joying), would be great to have something similar for the music/radio apps.

Hi Mike,
I know this is from an old thread but I have noticed you have many posts in the head unit section and was hoping you could help.
I have an unbranded 4.4.4 headunit and I was wondering if it was possible to set GPM or any other music app as my default player as you have described in the post and if so what steps would I have to follow.
Thank you very much!
What do you mean by Default? I just have the app on my home screen

With Gustdens no-kill key-mod you can add it to the laucher.sh to make it (re)start when the unit comes back from sleep.
Note that there is no November version yet. The versions go to and including the September ROM.
