Hi guys, I did a search and I can't find anything on this, if it's already been answered I do apologize. I've got a kenwood stereo in my car that connects to the phone and streams music over bluetooth. I've used this on my last 2 phones (Samsung Epic, and HTC EVO) with no problems. Now with the Galaxy SII, i can't stream music. It will connect and do voice calls no problem, but when i try to play music, it just skips through every song on the list and then freezes. The only time it worked was the first time I connected it to my stereo. Has anyone else had this problem? Since I use Google Music, all of my music is streamed and I have to do it through bluetooth, this has become quite a pain!
i'm on a clarion CZ 509 no problem streaming from my phone to the car
it does it automatically as soon as the car is in the phone range
which some times is kinda annoying, when you don't want it to auto stream
Yeah, mine will connect automatically and phone calls and dialing work with no issues. It's just streaming music. I'm going to try and delete my phone from the deck and re-connect it, hopefully that works. I'm trying to avoid having to replace my phone or do a hard reset.
my deck can save up to 5 phones pairing
so i just assigned a new profile to the SGS2 when i got it
the other ones registered are my old I9000, XT720 and Nexus S
there is another trick you can use
in the phone in the BT profile after pairing, hold the profile for 2 sec, it will pop up a sub menu, in which you can choose both option or only 1 of them
in which case it's BT audio, or BT phone
so play around with that and see
another thing which i don't know if your deck allows you to do is to Pair the phone as a Media device, or Phone device
so in my deck can can pair the phone to be only as a phone device, or only as a media device, or both
I tried messing around with those options, however it either disconnects the phone completely (unchecking the phone box) or just plays the music through the phone (unchecking the media box). I tried streaming another song through the stock music app, and that worked, so I think it may be google music itself. I had downloaded the ICS version, so now i'm trying to downgrade back to current. I'll have to check to see if works later, as now it won't connect to my account to grab all of my music. Thanks for the replies though, I'll keep this updated incase anyone else has the same issues.
now that you mention it, that might be it
the DRM license thing kicking in
i just found that was causing some random crash on my phone as well, removed music 4.0 and installed another music player, now everything is back to normal
i use jukefox to play music, it automatically creates everything that is necessary, like albums, auto get the missing album covers, etc, etc...
1 button does it all
then you just pick or randomly choose what you want to hear, easy music browsing for when you are driving
Yeah it's definitely a google music issue on my phone. The stock player works fine, but that doesn't help me, I keep all of my music uploaded to the google cloud, and have no way to access it right now. Even with the regular current apk I am having issues. I'll have to wait and see if they can update it for this drm issue I think. For now I'll just use the current stock player and fill up my sd card and play off of that
that's what i do
i play it off my SD card
get a 32 GB or 64 GB and you'll have plenty of space to load all your favourite albums
i keep several copies of 32 GB for different albums / movies
So just a followup to this, I did a hard reset today on my phone and it still doesn't help. Turns out, it only does this when connected through bluetooth, and it's a song that's been "made available offline". If i'm actually streaming a song, there are no issues, but any of my playlists or albums that are saved won't play through bluetooth (they will play normally however). Hopefully this can be fixed in an update through Google Music.
So, i've had this issue as well and it appears to be something to do with "shuffle".
At first I disconnected bluetooth and then started playing the music on my phone and made sure to turn ON shuffle..I then turned bluetooth back on in my radio and once it connected...all was well. I didn't like this solution and decided I needed to find an alternative.
I then downloaded the MIUI music app (which has always been my favorite) and the music streaming is working normally now
Was this an issue that you experienced with the google music beta app, or just the standard music player that came with the phone? Mine has only had issues on the music beta app, and it didn't matter if i had shuffle on or not. I've been using the standard music app that came installed on the phone and have had no issues since. On another note, does anyone know if you can see album art through bluetooth? I'm able to get song , artist, and album info, but I've never seen album art come through yet. I'm not sure if this is something bluetooth can handle or not.
Stock app. I just installed music beta and it seems to work fine like miui music
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I take that back, music "beta" just did it to me too. Back to miui

I am a Spotify user and use the app to play/stream music via Bluetooth in my vehicle. With my iPhone 4, the song/band/album names all show up in my vehicle's OSD. On the Note 2 my steering wheel's song skip buttons still function, but I get no more song name/info on my OSD. Is this a limitation of the phone or of the Android version of the Spotify app?

This is most likely the app itself. I had this same issue when installed my new pioneer head unit. I could play music through bluetooth, but it wouldn't say any info. If I played music using the normal android music player, winamp, or apollo, it would show info. Hope this helps!
Hi All,
Recently purchased and installed a Joying head unit (4GB, PX5 Octa Core) (link to product)
I use google music for all my music needs. I have uploaded all my personal music onto the google music cloud servers so I can stream or download them whenever I want making it an ideal solution. I installed the google music app on my android head unit and everything works great appear from one small thing.
The steering wheel NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons are not responding on the music app. Its killing me cause at the moment every time I have to change a song ive got to touch the screen (not ideal when driving).
Volume buttons work fine but ive tried different things to try and get the other buttons to work within the app like button re mappers via the app store etc.
Does anyone know of any way to get the NEXT and PREVIOUS song wheel buttons to work with the google music app. I will love you so much
I think its a software thing with the app cause poweramp and some other music players work with the wheel buttons. If this is the case I was hoping that there is an app that can run in the background which can pickup the wheel buttons and translate them so they work with the google music app.
Any assistance would be great. I hope someone can help.
There is such an utility in the MTCB software thread, but for Spotify. Didn't follow that up, maybe the developer wrote a version for GM also.

I can't get music to play properly with car player. It stutters 100 percent of the time, calls work. Music works fine on headphones and Bluetooth speakers.
I did network reset, cleared cache. Checked and unchecked media, contacts, etc in Bluetooth settings.
Used other phones to see if car player has issues. It works with other phones.
This seems like a OnePlus issue, even other models in past have been marred by this.
Is there any solution to this.
I'm on latest 10.0.6 oxygen. Music never worked with car player.
What car system and is the car system up to date?

It's an aftermarket media player, there are no firmware updates from manufacturer.
If you search you'll find this issue in a lot of OnePlus phones. I tried all suggested answers, nothing worked.
Could it be Bluetooth version that's causing this... My other Bluetooth devices are bt 4.0 and 5.0... Car player is bt 3.0... Maybe using an external BT adapter is the only way out.

Hi, I've had the same problems myself, but I might found a solution... And it is downloaded music on my phone storage!!!
Yes if I was streaming from YT music as I have premium subscription, most likely I could not listen to anything because I think interferes with the Bluetooth streaming. So I've downloaded a few songs and tried to listen from library on the same app and worked as a charm!
What can I say.. try it and see if works for yourself!
Best of luck!
I stream music all day everyday in my car. I use the play music app to listen to my library. I don't have any issues with stutters. I am also using an after market unit. The other day I did have a problem with my device not playing music when it paired. I got so frustrated since my Bluetooth was pairing with my headphones that I got the manual for the aftermarket unit and found the instructions to reset it. Resetting the unit fixed my problem. Have you tried completely resetting your aftermarket unit?
Sounds like your media player in the car is the issue. With my pioneer head unit I did have to reset it before it would pair and work correctly.
I'll try resetting the HU... Meanwhile I found an aux BT adapter lying around and it's working fine, that'll be my backup option till issue is sorted out.

I've been playing downloaded music already but it Stutters.... Though this thought did cross my mind that streamed music is copyrighted and encryption/codec could causes the issue... But then again it works with headphones...
I'll try some music player app and play from internal storage... Keep you posted
Resetting HU didn't work... Neither did playing downloaded music from internal storage.
I think OnePlus while implementation didn't fully address compatibility issues ... Most car HU are older BT version.
Hi All, I've done some googling but I haven't quite found the right answer to my question. Right now I have a Viva Roav Pro in my car and a Android Auto compatible head unit. If I ask Alexa to play music either via the steering wheel controls or the Roav, music starts streaming via the Alexa app. However as the Alexa app isn't one of the music apps with Android Auto integration, Android Auto doesn't offer controls to skip tracks etc - worse, if you try to, music will stop streaming and Android Auto will take over with whatever was playing last on Android Auto.
As I use Amazon Music and have the app, which DOES integrate with Android Auto, all I really need is for Alexa to open and play my request from the Amazon Music app as opposed to the Alexa app, but I've not figured out a way of doing that. Anyone else got any ideas?
