I've got a car with Microsoft Sync and I run into this problem every time the Evo pairs with the car. It thinks it is paired with a wireless music device because Sync can also stream music via Bluetooth. So, the EVO starts up the music application and actually keeps my screen turned on the whole time the phone is paired. You can imagine what this does to my battery life.
Obviously now that I know it is leaving the screen on, I can turn it off manually, so not a huge deal there. However, I imagine the music application is doing it's fair share of damage to my battery too. It's always on pause, never actually playing.
Is there any way to turn off these features? I've looked in the settings, but can't really see anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Have u tried turning off the music widget? My wife car has sync but I haven't tried it yet.

I don't use that widget so that's not it. Good thought though.

Don't flame me!....I searched, can't find this specific issue for the EVO.
flashed latest cyanogen last night
I got my phone and music bluetooth connection paired, phone works fine, and it actually streams music! the problem is it does not work properly when both phone and music are connected. I disconnect the phone bt, and the music sounds great for a few seconds, then the phone bt reconnects and the music streaming is all broken up,
anyone experience this? any solutions?
So, I guess I can unpair the phone when I want to listen to music? that is kind of lame though...
This has happened to me with cm7 recently. Phone randomly keeps connecting while audio is streaming. I haven't looked into it yet but nice to know someone else is seeing this.
Actually for me there is just an interruption while the phone connects. After that the music is fine. But the phone profile shouldn't be randomly reconnecting multiple times to begin with. I have the motorola t605.

any settings you adjusted/tweaked?
I was considering a tablet, lol... sprints plans suck for the tablet though.
I'm wondering if this possible through a setting somewhere that I'm missing...
With my bluetooth device, the only thing I can do is chat on the phone. I'd love to be able to hear other things as well. Most notably, I would really, really love to be able to hear my Google NAV directions through bluetooth rather than the phone speaker. I can't figure out how to do that though. I'd also love to be able to listen to music through it.
Anybody know how to do this? Can it be done on the Epic?
Thanks for the assistance in advance.

Not all devices are capable of ad2p (Bluetooth media audio). If your device is, you can go into bluetooth settings, long press the device, hit "Options", then tick the checkbox for Media Audio.
So I'll need to look for a headset that is ad2p capabe. Thank you for that very good info. I'll start looking for that now. I assume that our Epic's are set up for a2dp just fine....right?? As long as I have the right headset, I should be able to take advantage of the option?
Is there a way to spoof a2dp to stream music? Like an app or bt module? I remember being able to listen to music on bt without this profile on dk28 or I'm crazy but I swear I did.

J,
I found an app called "Bluetooth Audio Widget" (Pub: KokasIT) on the market. It does the job. Try the free 5 day trial and see if that does the trick for you. Appears to work on some phones/setups, not on others. I'm not really having any issues with it other than I had to stop and restart the service a couple times because the connection was poor, so the volume was real low. Once I restarted the widget, it worked fine. Listened to directions on the GPS, and a good bit of music last night.
Yup, there's an app called BT super mono froyo. I had the free trial installed for a while. I'm not positive about nav directions, but I know you can listen to music through your BT with it.
Thank you fellas will try both.

OH MY GOODNESS SOME TECHNO I HAD ON THE NIGHT BEFORE IS AUTO BLASTING OVER BLUETOOTH
Yeah, that's the "feature" of having bluetooth media autoplay. Besides turning off all bluetooth media features is there a way to prevent Winamp or whatever other stock media player is on the phone from blasting away as soon as it connects?
(Rooted, Cyanogen 7)
Did you try clearing defaults for the applications in the applications menu?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
No defaults set for Winamp or any other music application that I can find.
It's just when the Bluetooth connects it starts to play. Mine does it with Cyanogen, wife's phone does it with the stock Sprint Sense rom.
So I guess this is just one of those feature/bugs of Android that has no fix?
My dual BT headset turns on the stock HTC player whilst playing threw Winamp. It does this when I press play after a paused interruption. I'm using misfits speedy Rom and it happens to me. I can't set a default player either. Well i tried.

Has anyone solved this problem. It is rather annoying. I don't want to have to remove all the mp3's from my phone just to stop it from doing this.
I like to use Pandora for my radio, but everytime I turn on my car I have to take the time to tell the music player to knock it off...

Hi,
First things first. I'm running JB touchwiz and rooted.
here's my system info if you need it. http://imgur.com/YQ2rILN.png
So, here's my problem. I am using two different players (technically 3 if you count pandora which I don't use very much) - PowerAmp (paid) and Google Play Music. The reason I have 2 players is because I have way more music than I can store on my phone which is where google play is nice, but I also like listening to FLAC files -google play only plays up to 320 - I also like having music on the device in case I lose 4g signal, and I like poweramp's interface much better. Because I'm using two players, they often compete for which one plays. I use my phone to stream music to my car stereo and alarm clock via bluetooth, and when I connect it to either device OR to my headphones via wired connection, poweramp overrides google play and starts playing whatever I listened to last, even if I killed the program previously or was listening to google music last. Basically, when I connect anything, it defaults to poweramp and not Google play regardless of which I was listening to. I want this the other way around, since I use google play much more often since I have so much more music on it. It's endlessly frustrating.
Now for the question - Is there a way to reverse this, so that when I connect my headphones or stereo it will default to playing from google music and not poweramp? Or, even better, is there a way to integrate google music's streaming ability in to poweramp somehow?
Oh, one last thing. I am wondering if there is a way to make PowerAmp and Google Music show on the touchwiz lock screen, with controls? Currently neither do, even though I have the option enabled in PowerAmp.
Thanks! :laugh:
I haven't used TouchWiz in a long time, but I know with AOSP, there is an option regarding what the phone does when a headset is connected. It's at System settings > Sound > Launch music app for AOSP users.
Seems like you could fix it there. Before this option became available, I was using Tasker to accomplish the same thing.

There doesn't seem to be any such option in that area. I did just think of something, Is there a way to replace the lock screen that doesn't suck? i like stock aosp lock screen better than touchwiz, I just like touchwiz for the guestures and shortcuts and such.
Use tasker
In power amp there is a setting to turn off the auto play when connected.

I can't help with your priority question, but I can tell you that with TW, you lose lockscreen music control ability. I know it's dumb, but it is what it is.

Hey that sounds like a very good idea. I just need to learn to use Tasker. Please feel free to elaborate.
I'm having this same problem. I have a Verizon S3, and have a tasker profile set up so that when I connect my phone to a power source it will automatically turn on bluetooth, connect to my car, launch google play, and start playing the last played song.
The problem is it launches Play Music, but starts playing Poweramp. Play music is what's on my screen, but when I swipe the notifications down PowerAmp is playing the music. I've checked everything and it should be set up correctly, but this still happens.
Any Ideas?

Have you checked the headset settings in poweramp to make sure no auto resumes are selected?

Yeah, Checked and removed the selections for that. And nothing in the Tasker profile is connected to Poweramp, yet it continually plays music from it...

What about respond to headset controls? Poweramp resumes playing on my car when I connect it to Bluetooth if I have that option enabled too

Sometimes (3-4 times out of 10), when I connect my phone to my cars Bluetooth, it will automatically start playing the LG Music that's on the device (Life's good or something like that).
I have smart settings set to load pocket casts when I connect, which does happen, but this other music starts playing too.
Any ideas how I can stop this?
Cheers

I think it's playing the last song you played, or the first song you have in your playlist (alphabetically) if you rebooted the phone since the last time..
In case you don't want the LG Music app to launch when you connect your cars Bluetooth you have to disable the app and use another one.
I had the same issue and did exactly like danw84 stated. Disable the app under System Settings->Apps and you'll be good to go.
