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..

Alright, so this is a bit of a mystery to me. I'm rocking a Sprint Epic4G with the latest Gingerbread leak, although there's nothing that appears to be device-specific (maybe, that why I'm noting the device just in case ).
I have bluetooth enabled all the time and my phone is paired for both headset and multimedia with my car stereo. When I get in the car and hit the play button on the head unit, it randomly decides whether to launch Google Music or Music Player. I can deduce no pattern to which is capturing the AVRCP button press whatsoever.
I would prefer to always launch Music Player (lag is too high to make Google Music useful in the car) but I can't find any settings related to what goes one there.
Any thought folks?
I have a similar question for AVRCP on Google Music...
Hello,
So I had an older car that didn't have bluetooth. I added my own bluetooth module to the aux in in that car and when my phone would pair audio wouldn't automatically play from any app. I would choose one and it would start. Now I just bought a newer car that has bluetooth built into the car and when I start my car it will open poweramp and start playing. Most of the time I listen to pandora so I have to stop poweramp and start pandora. I uninstalled poweramp and it automatically starts pandora now. I have all of the autoplay settings in poweramp disabled. Is there a way to pick which app will play music on connect?
If it matters I'm running Paranoidandroid 3.99RC2

Realistically you should be able to go into Bluetooth settings, long press on the device that is paired, and change the media functions. I have a spyder so can't test this out for you sorry. But that's the way all other bluetoothes work (minus headsets)
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

Hi,
Bit of a strange problem here - I upgraded to Marshmallow yesterday (using the voda rom) and then did a full factory reset (inc data), and everything has gone well so far as the upgrade. Set up as a brand new phone and started installing apps.
When i try and play audio over bluetooth to my car though, I can only make it work using the built in/stock Samsung music player. Aside from the fact this app is terrible, this means that I can't listen to podcasts (via Pocket Cast, or Pocket Bean) or play anything with Poweramp/amazon.
The Samsung player however works fine - when my phone connects to the car it starts playing the Samsung themetune (default track loaded on to the phone) and I can skip through to any other local media. I've done a bit of testing...
If I have the Samsung player playing, and then press play in pocket casts - it will pause the Samsung player, but I get no sound at all. If I then press play again on the Samsung player, it will pause pocket cast, play about 2 seconds of the podcast over bluetooth, and then immediately switches back to the Samsung themetune.
I've tried Pocket Cast, PowerAmp, Pocket Bean and the "Big finish audio player" and they all have the same issue. It's driving me mad - in the meantime I have resorted to downloading the MP3 versions of the podcasts so I can listen to them on the way to work, but its far from ideal.
Any ideas? This all worked fine in lollipop. Considering trying to downgrade as a result
I use Bluetooth headphones and PowerAmp exclusively, so this would definitely stop me upgrading to MM.
Can anyone else confirm?
To add a bit of further information (and maybe reassurance CitizenLee) - This only appears to be an issue with in-car bluetooth (tested with the Jaguar InControl system I have, and also a colleagues BMW IDrive). When I test with his Plantronics BackBeats, or my AV Receiver's bluetooth it seems to work fine.
I wonder if its related to the specific bluetooth profile being used, not really sure. Worth noting that I also have an Android wear device connected but I have tested with/without my watch and get the same issue.
Hi
I am using Mate 10 to connect to Toyota Camry (asia) 2017 on the bluetooth player.... I can play the song and can select next track...however, this are the problem that I encounter.
1) the name of the song (display on Car player) does not update when I select the next song... it is always display the first song.
2) the volume always go to minimal on my M10, when I switched to bluetooth connect...... ... This does not happen on my Huawei P8, in which when I switch between radio and bluetooth, the phone always remain the same volume scale.
3) I have select the APPmenu in Camry but this is always failed when I pair with Mate10...
I have tried to pair in many ways : car to phone, phone to car but does not work... for item 1.
Not sure if Mate 10 has issue on other bluetooth devices in other car model. ?
Thank in advance.
No issues with my 2017 Kia Carnival but I'm not using the stock music player - I'm using PlayerPro.
You might want to try installing a third-party music player on your 'phone temporarily to test the issue (though you'll have to manually stop & close the stock player, then open the third-party one, after connecting to your car). If you still experience the same problems, the fault is with your car; if not, it's time to investigate permanently changing your music player.
