Bluetooth / Google Music Default Player.

Having an issue I was hoping someone may be able to help with. I’m trying to use the stock music app as the default player over Bluetooth with a car stereo. As of now when I start Bluetooth with the car stereo it will default to Google Music and not the default stock Music Player. This would not be an issue but the default player will display the Track information on the stereo interface ware Google Music lists them as unknown.

Use titanium back up to freeze google music

Sorry, should have mentioned that I am looking for a solution that does not require Root, if one exists. The phone actually belongs to a friend who I am trying to help out.

have you tried opening a music file from the folder that contains it and selecting the default player for that file type?

Just tried and unfortunately did not work. It would not be of any concern if Google Music would show the track information.

Thanks but also a no go, I think my friend has decided to Root the Phone.

[Q] Help with lyrics of the stock music player

I've bought M8 a week ago. I've come from a Symbian belle device, where if I put a .lrc file with same name as the song, it'd show the lyrics while playing songs. Now in M8 I've found there is a lyric downloading settings but I can't seem to see any lyrics on stock Music player. Can anyone help?

In order to view the lyrics you need to go to the visualizer for which you will have to swipe to the right from the music screen

The inbuilt Grace Note lyrics search engine fetches the lyrics automatically. I don't think there is an option to choose your own lyrics

Hey,
I tried this on multiple tracks and it doesn't seem to work. I thought I might fix the issue by modifying the .mp3 files and manually setting the correct album, artist, track number etc., but it still doesn't work. Whenever I try updating the lyrics I get the following notification:
Lyrics from LyricFind
Total 1 lyric(s) checked. 0 lyric(s) updated.
Any thoughts on how I could force it to find the correct lyrics? And it's not like I am trying with an obscure artist, it's Led Zeppelin IV for Christ's sake.

I remember this from my One X days. It's a location issue. You have to trick Gracenote to think that you are in the US through a VPN software and then it will work with no problem.
1) Download and install Hotspot Shield Free from play store
2) Run Hotspot Shield and make sure that Virtual Location is: United States.
3) Play a song and you will see lyrics appearing.
4) Un-install Hotspot Shield
5) Play another song and voila, you always have lyrics

Thanks a lot for the tip, mate, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. The Wi-Fi at work, which I used to download most of the lyrics the phone did manage to recognize, assigns US-based IP addresses, so I should have had no issues to begin with. I went ahead and tried the fix with Hotspot Shield anyways, but to no avail.
What's even more interesting is that it has downloaded lyrics for individual songs within an album. Why it would recognize one track, but wouldn't the very next one from the same album is beyond me.

Wow, I love you (lol). I don't used Hotspot Shield, I used TunnelBear, but it works like a charm!!

M9 lockscreen music controls

Hi everyone,
When music is playing I don't any music controls on the lockscreen, unlike in my m7.
I searched online and in the settings and didn't find anything specific.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hello there, try using a music player like a jet audio player (plus) or poweramp and enable it within that apps settings. I find that works. hope it fixes your issue.

Thank you, but I was wondering about HTC's music player.
Did they remove it on sense 7?

Never was able to get lock screen controls on stock sense 7 with that music player, always had to download a separate music player app for that. I also rooted and installed a custom rom to enable volume music controls which allow you to change the track when the screen is off. (leedroid rom)

Music player recommendations/help

I am using a N 5X and the 7.1.1 developer preview and want to use one app for playing music on my device.
I have been using Play Music but find it a bit awkward to see what is on my device and what is on their cloud service. To get around this I have started to use Poweramp to play music stored on my phone and it is great but my phone does not recognise it as a music player app. So if I click on an mp3 file I get the option of Play Music or VLC to open it but not Poweramp. I have cleared all defaults etc but Poweramp isn't ever given as on option.
Likewise Poweramp isn't given as an option to associate with music on the android auto app.
Other than Play Music are there any good alternatives that are recognised as apps to set as a default for music files? Or am I (and Google search) missing something I can change in the settings to enable Poweramp as an option?

I always use BlackPlayer EX. For me it's the best music player on android.
Great design, great customization, tag editing, everything.
The free version is 100% usable so you can try.

Shuttle Music Player is pretty sweet. It's been my favorite for a while now.

I use sony walkman is really nice looking

Just use Default App Manager Lite to set poweramp as the default (it should work with nougat but i haven't tried it)

Asus Music Player simple beautiful in theme and apps section in nexus 5x section

I have tried that, the app says it is default but when I tap on an mp3 file I still only get either play music or vlc

Thanks for the recommendations, am currently giving Shuttle a go, solved all my issues so far ?

One issue I have come across is that neither app is able to be prompted to play without manual intervention. So I have a task set within Trigger to open the music app when I connect to the car via Bluetooth, which it does, but when I press the media button in the car the track info comes up but doesn't actually start playing. Play Music does this and I am wandering if there is something I am missing?

DZ09 smart watch and the HTC 10?

Any one tried to use his/her DZ09 smart watch with the 10?
If yes can you control the music of the phone? even if it's the HTC Music app (found in Leedroid rom for example) ?

T-Mobile HTC 10
Rooted
S-ON
Viper 3.5
(Waiting for Xposed to work for newer versions/I know relax Heh)
Here is what I am certain of:
It will allow me to control anything playing in MX Player and VLC with regard to stop/play/pause/skip track.
It will provide the same options with Pandora, as well as Spotify.
It will also allow me to do the same in HTC Music /Stock app.
It will not allow me to see files on the watch that are located on the phone (but it may be possible/I doubt it).
Hope this helps!
