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.
is it just me or does nfc get lower response time when streaming something through bluetooth?
I often listen to music in my car through bluetooth and I have an nfc tag in the car to turn car mode on/off. when I get in the car the nfc read is almost instant but when I get out as the music still plays it has quite a noticeable delay in reading.I knew it's reading because of the sound. once it reads it implementing the changes is no issue so I don't think it's the app
can anyone else confirm or test this out? and what could be causing this?

I'm on drewgarens modified stock rom. I watch a lot of TV shows but I can't get the audio to come out of the Bluetooth stereo head phones. Is there a way to do this? I was able to play music but only after downloading a app. The app only switches it to the Bluetooth when its already playing. The video isn't already playing so I think that's why the app can't switch it to the headset. Anyone have any ideas on how to make it work?

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

Hi!
Since 7.1.1 when I click the headset button or connect my phone to my car's bluetooth, Google Play start playing even if I was using other player before.
Only when other app like spotify are actively open they start playing, otherwise if I spend 5-10 min without using them, my Nexus 5x respond to the play command of the headset or the bluetooth by opening Google Play.
Is there a way to let the last app play?
Tried with tasker or other app with no luck...
Thanks and sorry for my bad english
I'm the only one having this problem?
