[Q] ***Request*** Turn off Automatic Music Player when connected via BT - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use my Atrix BlueTooth in my Pick Up for all calls.When I switch the stereo to BT Audio the Atrix automatically starts Music Player. Is there a way to shut this off? It is a pain in the butt when I want to watch HBOgo movies or listen to Pandora....I have to pause the Music Player because there is no way I know of to shut it down

Just bypassed this in my Seat using Tasker - a media buttons grab on bluetooth connection and release on disconnection.
Monkey see, monkey do.

Thanks for the Reply, I looked up that app, " Tasker ". Looks like a sweet app for $6.50. But I dont need any of the other features it provides. I would like to know how to disable the Music Player Automatic Startup function without spending anything on an app to be honest.

Try Llama. It's basically tasker lite. And itself free!

No worries - I wasn't trying to push you to get the app, merely mentioned it in case you had it / could look up the functions I mentioned as a guide to finding your own fixes.

Thanks for the reply...Looks like Llama turns off bluetooth all together...unless I missed a setting somewhere.

Did you check the settings in the music app to see if you can override the headset? I think that's how its seeing your BT connector.

I did. There are no options for bluetooth whatsoever. All I see as far as options is:
audio effects>
Party Shuffle Off/On>
Shuffle all>

Atrix headsets

I have searched and found all kinds of conflicting information.
What is the story with the headset buttons and the atrix?
I have a headset that worked perfectly with my nexus one even with the stock player. With the atrix the phone takes over and the buttons only work to initiate a voice command.
Some third party apps such as winamp can get the play/pause to work.
So how do you get full music control on the atrix? If the answer is a new headset then why did mine work perfectly on the nexus one.
For full music control (not to mention audio quality) it would be best to use Stereo BT headphones, not a headset. http://goo.gl/ZiTpN
Hopefully there is a better way than BT. I really don't want to charge my headset.
worst part is that you can not received call with button on headsets.
as for music control...
do a market search for 'Headset Button Controller'
I know the button worked on my Atrix using the headphones that came with my Captivate for skipping songs and pausing. I don't know if I ever used it to recieve a call though.
I use Motorola SD9 HD's and all buttons on headset work. Auto switch for calls.
May have BT headset model wrong cos I'm in bar getting drunk!

Just downloaded the app. Looks great, hope it can do half of what it looks like. Looking forward to getting home and getting my headset out of my gym bag.
Thanks!!
I like my S9s though I use my T1 blue ant BT to stream netcasts/music and haven't wore them in a while. Running with my dog, at work, etc, I rather have an ear open and beautiful part is @ work no one knows I'm listing to the 404 or Android guys netcast ^_^ I'm just productive and waiting for a call.

vingo n google voice search may interfere with the app. freeze/uninstall them if not using.
moto seems to have made the long press of button associate with voice search/commands..

[Q] Headset control button not pausing music in ICS?

With the upgrade to ICS I am no longer able to make the button on my wired headset pause/unpause music. I've tried freezing the Voice Commands app using Titanium, I've tried using the Jays Headset Control app, I've tried other music playing apps like Rocketplayer. I can always make the button pause music successfully while the screen is on, but if the screen is off it simply doesn't work. My primary music player is the standard "Play Music" app that comes with ICS.
Are others having this problem? Have you found a way around it?
I am having the same issue too, once the screen locks I cant pause, rewind, or fast foward
I'm having the exact same issue using DoggCatcher. I have a brand new set of phillips headphones for android that worked great before the update. If anyone can figure this out, it would be great.
Try Poweramp, it has a setting that gives Poweramp a higher priority for this case (Haven't tested it with ICS yet, but on GB this worked).
Other than that, it's a nice and beautiful music player btw.
Thanks for the poweramp suggestion. I gave it a try this morning but it behaves exactly the same as the other music apps. Headset controls work fine when the screen is on but don't work at all when the screen is off. I suppose it's good to hear that others are having problems too, which means it's not a problem with just my phone. I'd love to hear a solution!

Tryied using some custom lockescreen? (ex. widget loacker etc)
I tried winamp earlier today and it worked...but didn't work with google play or doggcatcher

Same problem here after upgrading to ICS. Headset controls work perfectly with the screen on but don't work at all with the screen off. I have tried using JAYS Headset Control, Headset Button Controller, Headset Droid, and the built-in headset control functions of Winamp and Poweramp all to no avail. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the lock screen music controls disappear after installing headset control apps due to some sort of conflict between the app and the Android system.
Anyone find a solution to this? Your ugly red head step child the Droid Bionic seems to have the same problem. So I was hoping there'd be some app or setting to flick to make the controls work when the screen is off.
Also eager to find the best solution on Android, it is pretty easy on iOS!!!
As a music fan, this feature means a lot for us. But seems Android doesn't like music as iOS.
For me, I have upgraded to JB 4.1 and my current solution is create a smart action like launch Google Play Music when plug in headset. The control works for pause and play when screen is off. Actually it also works for skipping by double clicking very quickly, but it seems a little bit hard to achieve, or you can say it doesn't work. But it DOES work sometimes. Good luck!

This doesn't work for me. I think i could use the headset controlls before installing headset controller.

ive been using poweramp, and this may just be my choice in headphones, but ive never gotten those buttons to work on CM10...again this may just be me, but ive never gotten headphone buttons to work on my RAZR
Install Headset button controller, tap on the Advanced label, scroll until you find the 'Advanced settins' entry (it's the last on the list), check 'Prevent sleep mode' option. It works fine, but it's a shame we have to pay for an app in order to fix a os's bug.
For me the problem was MotoCast. After I disabled in the settings everything worked great.

[Q] Headphone Jack for music, Bluetooth Speaker for Navigation at the same time?

Is it possible, to use my AUX cable to play music like I always do, but at the same time! Use a bluetooth mini speaker to make the Navigation Voice much easier to hear.
Any ideas?
Rooted, with customer Kernel and Rom.
Yes it is possible only thing is when the next turn comes up it will shut off the music for a few seconds while it finishes the navigation command that is given via voice

So...is this just automatic? How would the phone know to use the bluetooth speaker for just Audio Navigation voice?

Auto start of music player Bluetooth

Is there a way to disable the auto start feature on the music player when it connects to Bluetooth in my car. It connects and starts playing in the background even when I am not using it.

Yes, go to settings->Bluetooth-> press on settings for paired device you don't want to auto start -> remove check mark from media.

i don't think what you are saying is quite the answer OP was looking for, but I'm not sure. i think the answer is this:
download "Media Button Router" from Google Play, it has options to ignore Bluetooth button presses. please hit thanks button

The auto start isn't coming from Android. It's a " feature not a bug" annoying as hell behavior coming from a lot of head units in new cars. Toyota head units are notorious for this. The app I mentioned turns a lot of that behavior off but it's not perfect. Hopefully the app author updates the software someday to just ignore the first button press signal on reconnect, or someone else writes an app to do just that, but it works well enough now.

I had the same exact problem when i would get in my Ford Escape with Sync! It would start by itself! Then directions I listed will allow you to still to connect and use your phone for ALL functions, Including playing music when YOU want too! Music play just will not start by itself!
Settings--->bluetooth--->press gear (settings) for paired device you want to stop media auto play for--->remove check mark from Media audio. Make sure you still have a check mark in Phone audio!
Your phone will now connect to car but not start media player!
same problem

Problem: I cant uncheck the profile Media Audio:
I am trying in Bluetooth settings in Car Multi-media device to uncheck Media audio, when I press it says connecting, does that mean I have to to this step while in the car?
then again as per your answer just checking, if i open an email with an attachment or open a file Music Play, will it automatically connect to the BT?
thanks for your help

I am the developer of Bluetooth Connect & Play (this forum won't allow me to post a link, search for me in the store) . I may have a way to help you. Email me (my email is on the linked App's store listing) if you'd like to beta test this. I don't know if it fully works, but looking for people to test.

[Q] BT Audio / Pandora / Jedi XV12

I just upgraded my Rom to the Jedi XV12 rom without issue. Currently I'm experiencing a "silent" audio when the phone is synced to my car via bluetooth BT and trying to listen to Pandora. My car has the Pandora app and prior to this ROM I did not have the issue. I "turned" the volume up on the phone and it showed the BT audio at max... yet there was no sound. Is there something else I need to do or update on the phone?
Check the settings on your paired Bluetooth device and make sure media audio is selected. Otherwise I'm not sure. You might try to delete the device and re-pair it.

This. I bet that's you're problem too.
I Have to check both everytime I sync. Really wish the settings would stick after I sect both options
Try "BT Mono" from the play store. Not a fix per se, but it did the trick for me.

I questioned the developer of the ROM as well. Just did a wipe. Hope it works tomorrow. Media audio didn't do it. That didn't change. Worked before this ROM.

What music app are you using ? Did you try a different one ? I'm using Subsonic and I'm having issues with eq's.
My audio work with my Bluetooth in my car neither the in app nor Beat's eq's work. I did not have eq issues with Bean's which I'm probably going to switch back to.
Looks like Google Music app works with Beats so for me it was the app I was using.
Well, according to the thread title, [Q] BT Audio / Pandora / Jedi XV12, looks like he is using Pandora.
Interesting enough..... If I have BT Audio enabled for both Phone Audio and Media Audio.... ANY BT audio does not come through the BT device. If I uncheck the Phone Audio.... it plays just fine. The Controls for the player work fine in either scenario... just no audio if the Phone Audio is checked. I have had intermittent success by having the audio going.... unchecking phone audio... listening for a few... and then re-checking phone audio. Sometimes it will keep playing without issue.... other times it "mutes" the media audio even though it is checked.
Did I confuse anyone.... LOL
