I just got a razr (gsm on rogers) and When it connects to my car it doesnt automatically start playing music like all my other phones have. I have to go to the music app and start it playing, is there any way to get it to play automatically?
Don't know about the stock player as my car radio doesn't do A2DP but the music player Poweramp has a resume on connect to bluetooth option.

Even if the stock app supported resume on connect it wouldn't matter since it can't remember what was played last.
I know the power amp & n7 player will resume on connect, I'm sure most other players should as well but I've only used those 2 with BT.

For me it also doesn't show any media information. Only Stock Player does it :thumbdown:

That's odd, here's a screen shot of my car dock home with a power amp widget on it. The main app shows the same thing but puts artist-album on 1 line.

trying another app
Download Tasker. simply the best automation app for your android. i have mine set up to present me with a list of apps with icons whenever my phone connects to my head unit in the car.
so when it connects i can choose between Pandora, G Music, Dood's, or Maps.
of course you can tell it to simply open your app of choice as well
Opening the app doesnt help it needs to start a playlist as well. Looks like the latam ics solves the problem because it will play a playlist if you set it up under smart actions now. Hopefully it works i havent tried it but i did set it up to play the playlist whenmit connects to my car bluetooth

I too have the Issue..
For me Internet Radio plays fine on Wi-Fi but not on 4G.
Did you tried Music app with both connectivity?
Internet Music functions great for me over wifi and 3G. It's not that many channels though. Podcasts also works for me.
Rooted 2.3.4. OEM Standard Dock and Car Dock. Not deodexed.
With the previous music player you could stop in the middle of the song and two days later you could press play and it would go again. Has anyone else had this problem? I listen to audio books and after I close out the music player I have to search through it again to find the right point.

I noticed it also. I could normally press play and get the last playlist I was in.
Hi,
I like to use the Music app from the RAZR because of its good builtin equalizer.
But, it's shuffles the audio files in a folder on default.
Already cleared the cache of the app as of the phone, but this didn't help.
Is there a solution?
Huh?
For me it defaults to being ordered so I have to enable shuffle every time I want music + press next as it always start on the same song.
I'm having this problem as well but like nearly all problems on the Razr it is frustratingly intermittent
Sometimes it plays through the songs in order just fine and other times it will inexplicably play them in some random order??
You are on Android, get better music app from market

I'm having a shuffle issue as well, and it makes me sad because I liked the stock music player. The "Shuffle All" button doesn't work from the menu button. It just plays the songs in alphabetical order... Also, shuffling with the other method doesn't work either really. To shuffles every song from # to M, and maybe the occasional song that starts with an S. I use PlayerPro now.
Use power AMP

I am using the stock rom with the stock music player on the Evo 3d. I have my phone connected to my car over BT and I use it to stream music. I play 3 hour long tracks of downloaded talk shows and whenever my BT connects/reconnects to the car the track starts over. For example if I turn the car off to get gas and back on, track restarts. Also, sometimes when the player has sat for some time in pause mode the next time I go to use it (over BT or not) the track shows the saved spot and then a split second later restarts the track. Any way to keep the stock player from restarting the track or do you recommend a 3rd party player?
I've never had that specific problem but I suggest trying poweramp - its a way nicer music player than the standard music app.

I will give it a shot. I have been on an app download bonanza since I got this phone trying everything out.
Ya my stock player was doing that so I switched to PowerAmp, I also found it had a tendency to clear my playlist so it just stopped playing after the current track.

Is there any good free player that will solve the problem? I really don't need all the bells and whistles of PowerAmp.
Seriously Poweramp is the best most bug free player, even if you don't use all the features.

Search Google market and try some. I like Winamp since it really whips the llama's a**.

Don't know if this already mentioned but my default car dock now shows Pandora rather than Tune In Radio. When the car dock starts, you can see that one widget change from TuneIn Radio to Pandora. I also just now noticed that if you flick the screen to the left 2 times, it should list your music players you have on your phone. Whatever from the list is the last one used, is the one that will come up in the car dock default widget.

Nice tip. Now I can use Pandora while on the car dock mode. :good:
In an interview about the phone before release the rep stated you would be able to make your own shortcuts to other apps (he expressly stated music and other), glad to see they didn't make him a liar like they have done to so many other reps
You rooted or stock? I went between stock car dock and another market one this passed weekend. Stock never changed or allowed me to put Pandora in.

I forgot how to do it but its there, it should be an option when removing links
Would love to know how you did that, it doesnt show up for me.
Yup, I knew it'd be there when I saw the one x get it.
It replaces the music shortcut on the home page, with the last used music app.

I'm rooted running Stock with Goodies with the latest OTA. All I did from the car dock home screen is scroll to the right til you see the music apps you have installed on your phone. You have to have more than just the built-in TuneIn Radio. Choose a music app and go back to the Car dock home screen and it should replace the default TuneIn radio shortcut with the music player you just chose.
How does it decide what a music app is? It doesn't look like its picking up Play Music or Dogcatcher, the two I would care about.
I'm using CarHome Ultra because it seems to have nice customization options.
One of them being it will start up when my bluetooth connects to my car. I also like the fact I can put shortcuts to facebook, Gmail, etc on one of the numerous screens.

I'd really like to know how you did that. I want to add either Pandora or Slacker in there. TuneIn isn't really useful to me.

I second this question. When you swipe left twice, it actually just gives you the options for Internet radios (TuneIn, TuneIn Pro, SoundHound, and Pandora for me), but there's no option to change what music player is being used. The one used by default is HTC's Music player, which only plays music stored on the phone/sd card. Like maxpower, I'd like to use Play Music, as all my music is stored in Google's cloud.

It has already been stated twice, the last music app that you used is what will show up in the tile on the car home screen. This is the only way you can change it. You can also add additional music apps by going to the HTC music app, then hitting menu, then add app shortcut. I added SiriusXM this way, now it shows on in the car music apps screen.
Wow.. Thanks.. It does work.. Went to the default music app.. Hit menu and added Google play music.. Went to car dock app.. Swiped left and tapped on the play music icon and now it's on the front of the dock app.. Thanks again..

You sir are a genius.. its stupid you have to do this but awesome you found it
I've searched and can't find anything, but I need to find a way to stop the stock music player from playing when my phone connects to my car's BT. I use Google play music and want that one to auto start, but every freaking time I start my car, the Samsung player starts that dumb preloaded song.
Honestly, I don't care if I can't get play music to autostart, I just want the Samsung one to stop. And yes, I've tried disabling the app, but it can't be, at least non-rooted. So, any help/advice would be great. Thanks.

Is Google Play Music set as the default music player? I haven't rooted my phone or anything, it's completely stock and just by setting Google Play Music to the default on Day 1 of getting this phone (April 8th) it always auto starts when I connect via Bluetooth.

I never got the option to set it as default and I didn't see anything about it in application manager. Any idea where to find it?
OK, figured it out in a round about way. I had to open a .mp3 in Samsung's file explorer and then it asked me for the default. So let's see if it works.
@Hendrycks
Thanks! It worked.
That didnt work for me. Upon linking to BT in my car, the stock Samsung player still auto starts. I have tried setting play music as default, I have set Player Pro as default. it still auto launches the stock crappy Samsung player app. Ideally I dont want it to auto launch any app. I use Pandora alot in my car and since it auto launches the samsung app, that means my car stereo does not display the track info for the playing song in Pandora on the screen.
Sooo annoyed
I have the same exact issue and it is driving me crazy. I have tried everything in the phone and settings and there is nothing. I have downloaded both Connect and Play, and Smart Connect as bluetooth connectors but the stupid factory music beats it to the punch every time. Nothing works! I am about to chuck my phone. Someone please help!
me too
Does anyone have another suggestion? This happens to me if I even "pause" my podcast player too long. Truely annoying.
I am going to try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.start.and.play.music.player&hl=en
So far, with the UI, it does look like it has the right settings/options.
Sorry to bump this but came across this while trying to sort this very same issue. I'v found an app called Package Disabler Pro in the Play Store . The best thing is that it works without root.. It isn't free but I thinks if you been looking for something thats solves this issue its worth it. It worked for me so hope it works for you. And if you try it quick enough you can get a refund if it don't work
Download Trigger, I have mine set so when it connects to bluetooth it launches Google music but you can choose anything you want or nothing at all!

I have the same problem. I installed Trigger, but it didn't work. What task did you add?
The best I came up with was denying access to storage in the application's settings. Now it just prompts me to give it permission when I connect to bluetooth. At least that horrid song doesn't play anymore.
Have you tried Tasker ? Had same problem myself on S6 Edge, but after a little fiddling with Tasker. The default "music" closes, tunein radio is launched & my volume levels are adjusted. I can revert back to "music" by pressing play/pause on hands free.
