Anyway to stop Google Music player from launching by default when BT connects?

I have a 2012 GTI and when it automatically connects to my car Google Music connects and tries to play music. I use my iPod for this but it still annoying. Anyway to fix this from the device? My car does not show a way to stop this.

can you click the settings icon in your Bluetooth menu on the phone (next to the name of the bluetooth source you are connected to) and un-check media player or something along those lines?

Think this is something the car is doing. My Elantra doesn't start playing anything when it automatically connects to my phone, but my fiancee's Civic does.

This did it!!

If you're like me and want music coming out of BT, but not necessarily starting which ever music player the car decides on then you can use his to stop any music from playing automatically. Or have it launch a specific one automatically.

[Q] When Bluetooth connects to my car, Google Music automatically starts playing...

I have my N4 Bluetooth set up to my car. When I start my car, and Bluetooth kicks in, Google Music automatically starts playing songs. I don't listen to music via Bluetooth, but my device is sending the signal, evidently. I've tried to find a way to keep Google Music from automatically doing this when Bluetooth connects, but cannot find anything. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a way to make mine do what yours is doing. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.2 and just want my music to start automatically when I get into my car instead of having to unlock phone, fire up google music, and hit shuffle all every time I get in. There are a couple apps that will launch Play Music but the music doesn't start playing. I need to try hitting NEXT on my car stereo and see if it makes it start playing.

I used to get ambushed with music automatically starting a couple of phones ago so I wound up using Tasker to simulate media button presses.
That sorted it for me and may be worth a try for both of you.

I think it's dependent upon your car. I've got Ford with Sync and buried somewhere in the menus is a bluetooth "autoplay" option - try disabling that (or enabling... depending on what you're looking for, of course)

My N4 does this in my Mazda 3. I absolutely HATE it. Any luck on a solution?

Like previous poster said, disable autoplay feature in car's bluetooth settings

I don't have that option on my car.

This is not true. I have this happen with my Nexus 4 on stock 4.3 in THREE separate cars.
Is there seriously no solution to this? Does anybody even have any idea what causes this problem?
For me, its Fusion music player. But if I uninstall that, then it defaults to Google Music.

[Q] LG G2 Bluetooth PROBLEM please help.,

I have a toyota Camry 2011 which has a bluetooth system. No entue, just bluetooth. When I connect to it with both call and media audio enabled. DIsplay says streaming audio and immediately starts playing Lg Music app. Now if I switch to spotify or pandora, my car immediately pauses the music and then won't let me play spottify or pandora audio. I need help. I love this phone but I can't seem to get this work. I love streaming music.
Its almost as if Toyota keeps trying to connect to Lg Music app despite stitching to pandora. This used to work when I had and SG3. In that I could switch to pandora and no problems. I think the problem is that as soon as bluetooth connects LG Music app starts playing but I don't want it to.

If you're rooted, you can always freeze that app. I wouldn't delete it in case it's tied to something else. You could also try deleting all of the songs that are in LG music.

I don't want to get off topic, but you're right. This is the real problem. You can see it whenever engineers with "just show up" degrees are tasked with anything. The idea is a result of just getting something to work in order to pass a QA check. QA will typically have a couple of scenarios to run through and if the code makes it through the scenario, it's considered gold. No effort is extended to actually understand the context of the code being written, or the spec being written to.
If everything was written per the specification, there would be no interop problems... But writing a complete implementation might cost a bit more, so eff it.

I actually have a similar problem with my new LG G2 and 2010 Camry.
I can pair it as a phone device, but not properly as an BT audio device. It pairs as a phone and makes calls just fine, but as soon as I try to set it up as an audio player, the phone all of a sudden can't find the car's bluetooth. BUT it will still play audio through the car stereo with apps like Pandora, however, I have zero control capabilities from the car and it playback will stay connected. Stereo just says "No devices found".
I also came from a S3 and it worked fine as a phone and audio player with this car. Seems like the new phone doesn't mesh well with the stereo?

The audio quality of the G2 over a2dp is horrible just like the two phones by LG before it, not sure what the deal is

OP have you found a fix for this? Just disabling the stock Music Player?

Is any news or solutions?

The A2DP audio is great. Enable Apt-X? There is a prop trigger. This phone IS Apt-X capable, confirmed through logcat. Research before you down a product. Different paired products will always behave differently.

I have the same problem in my 2012 FJ Cruiser except Poweramp automatically starts even though the BT settings are set not to. Anything else pauses after 2 seconds.

Rdio works fine (except track info), its like Spotify problem...

True, but "there is an app for that".
Modified Spotify client with included TrackID fix. I use it in my VW Golf with my LG G2.
Use the latest version in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44108915#post44108915

I still couldn't find any solutions until now. Could you?

ask your audio manufacturer to update software, unless its old bluetooth and thus not feature supporting.

[Q] LG G2 Bluetooth issue

Hello so im having troubles with my bluetooth. The model is d801 and Im running kitkat. When i try to connect my phone to my pioneer console in my car it first seem to properly work. The phone connects properly,but when i try to play music through the stock music app as well as google play music, the car speakers don't play the music but the phone speaker do. The console displays the song info and i can pause and play the music but it doesn't seem to play the from the car speakers. I went into the settings and checked both the Options to play the call audio As well as the music but i cant seem to make it work. Any suggestions on how to fix this. Works with my friends s4 tho.

Playing music independently on Gear S3 Frontier from Galaxy S8 phone.

I spent a good chunk of time yesterday trying to figure out how to make the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier (LTE verision) watch play I Heart Radio or Spotify independently from my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone. Everytime I go to play I Heart Radio on my watch, it opens and plays it on my phone. If I turn my phone off or disable bluetooth, the watch gives and error message and doesn't play on the watch. In other words, if I decide to leave my phone at home and want to play IHeart Radio on my watch streaming to my bluetooth headset, I can't!
Is this possible or will I have to manually transfer music to my watch to play on it independently?

Maybe the app ain't been fully optimized for the watch yet.

Is your bluetooth headset paired with your phone? Normally there is an option under bluetooth setting of a phone and/or your watch. For example in the phone, you will see a setting for your particular bluetooth device when you tap on the gear: call audio, media audio...there should be toggles to turn it on or off. I had Gear S2 and did adjust it that way, but I had an issue with my car system where music/calls were not routed through watch and car.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried Bluetooth to both (phone and watch). Using a streaming app such as Iheart Radio and spotify, I can't seem to get it to play independently from my phone even though the watch is LTE with a SIM. I will check that setting though, but I would like to bluetooth it to my watch, leave my phone at home, and stream IHeart Radio while I jog...etc.

I haven't used an app to play anything, but I did have 5 MP3 songs on my watch(for testing purposes). Is the app that you use, is on your phone or the watch?

App is on both. I believe those two particular apps auto installs on both phone and watch.

As I understand, your phone needs to think or see your watch as a media playback device as well and not only a calling device. After that it will direct sound through your watch's Bluetooth accessory that is connected to it.
Also I think not all bluetooth headsets are able to play music through them, so try another bluetooth headset or bluetooth headset that was designed for music(unless you already using this one)

I would also like to steam music on my gear s3 from i heart, Pandora, or etc. Is there a way to do this without having my s8 phone in range of my watch?

At this time, only Spotify will allow you to direct stream to your S3 without having your phone. Iheart only works as a remote to control the app on your phone, but you can't stream direct to your S3. Pandora is not available for the S3.
