My stock music player used to when linked to my car stereo would broadcast song title/artist/track number/etc to the display to where it could be viewed and would update accordingly and would start/stop whenever i basicalled connected/disconnected the link. Now it wont do any of that and I believe I'm on Google Music beta.
I downloaded PowerAMP and it seems to be working with the starting/stopping once connected but its not broadcasting the track data. Is this something that can be modified via the bluetooth apk settings file or what? I don't want to go in and mess around with files then be SOL on my phone.

Remove the "media" link or "bluetooth headset" link in your bluetooth settings on your phone or your car:

Install an app specifically for this:
One was mentioned in comment 49 of the first bug report link above.
There's also one called Headset Blocker.
I'm sure there are many others as well.
Use a profile/event app like Tasker: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/146722-using-tasker-fix-headset-music-autostart-issue.html.
Disable event using the Autostarts app.
Some media apps have the ability to disable autoplay on bluetooth built in.
due to 4.0.3 having a soft reboot bug while streaming via bluetooth i have installed 4.0.4
all good apart from streaming to my car stereo via bluetooth, it no longer passes over the track and album titles.
anyone know of a music app that allows this ?
i can't be the only one who uses this function ?
hi
I have a 2012 Subaru with factory radio which has Bluetooth Streaming and calling.
Has any one of the SGS2-i9100 (or any SGS2 owners) got their bluetooth to work correctly with this radio
when they have multiple media player apps installed in the phone...?
I have 2 problems.
1. Auto launching of a media player on car-start, which I want to disable completely.
I dont want the car to launch anything, I want to control it from the phone manually
(how do I do that)
2. When I play podcasts through google listen on the car player, I see meta tag information
from the installed poweramp (which knows all my music.) on the car screen. I dont know
why it does that. If I hit vol+/- on the phone the meta tag information switches(scrolls) up or down in my
music list, but well I am listening to the podcast from google listen,...
I can switch(scroll) podcasts using the cars seek+ or seek- buttons. with no problems...
Any help would be appreciated..

I'm running stock rom and recently took the update to 4.1.1 (3.16.651.3 710RD) and the behavior of my headphone controls has changed. I have only DoubleTwist free installed. I have headphone control enabled via Home -> Settings -> Player Settings -> Use headset controls = on.
Single press mostly works fine to start/stop, but two clicks both advances to the next song *and* calls my most recently called contact.
In addition, sporadically, a single press will start the built-in Sprint Music player (in all apps, it's just called Music) instead of DoubleTwist.
I've hunted in vain for some sort of general phone headphone controls settings, or headphone related settings in the Sprint music player. I haven't found any. Is there a way to stop the competition/split usage of my headphone controls between the phone/Sprint music player?
Thanks for any tips/suggestions. Happy to provide additional information.
I upgraded my phone to the stock Android Lollipop build using Samsung Kies. I previously had my phone rooted. Everything works great with my phone under the new OS, except for something that I use very frequently - playing my music from my phone in my car over bluetooth. This is a feature I use daily, and now it has been crippled.
When I play music on my phone, connected to my aftermarket car stereo via bluetooth, the song information no longer shows up on my car stereo. Also, when trying to use my controls (face of the head unit, or the steering wheel controls), it does nothing (skipping tracks, etc.).
I am using the stock music player. Any help would be great, or even knowing that this problem exists outside of my phone would also make me feel better.
Having similar issues.
Audio controls work, but track data isn't working. Only samsung/google player are working properly with metadata.
Spotify, Pandora, and Soundcloud are not transfering audio track names at all.
Same here, I have a Kenwood DDX-418 and I can change tracks with the on screen buttons but do not get display. Maybe pull old kit Kat stock player and push to lollipop
