I've tried to find an answer to this question by searching the forums and the internet but couldn't find it.
I have an bluetooth car stereo paired to my S3 with telephone and media audio. While running the stock ICS rom I could use the FORWARD and NEXT buttons of my radio to skip to the next song in spotify while using google navigation. Now I have updated my S3 to JB. If I try to skip to the next song, the only thing happens is that the stock mp3 player starts. Skipping songs within spotify only works if spotify is the active app. I read of disabling the 'standard' mp3 player but I do like to use that app for long mp3 mixes. The standard mp3 player now also starts to play automaticaly when I connect my phone to my car stereo. Anyone any ideas how to get back to the old way without flashing ICS?
Its an issue with most jb roms. Something about new Bluetooth libraries or something like that. Same issue for my note and nexus

hi all
here is my question:
can i use the bluetooth headset to hear media mp3 player or others media i see an option on mp3 player to listen the music via bluetooth but when i make a scan nothing appear i can only use it for call's ? is it something miising on ics rom's i have try an application called bluemusic on ginger 2.3.6 and it's can root the media via bluetooth headset but it's in demo and i can buy the full one because i can't do this operation on my country so i there any other solution ?
thanks,
The only way is through a 3rd party app like BTmono i am using. Or you could buy a headset that supports media playback out of the box
I havent had any problems with music over bluetooth
What ROM are you using?
i am using ics wanam 10.7
Really you should try the BTmono app from the Play Store, it does the job for me. You just run it before the music player and all your audio is routed to the headset

This problem has been going on forever since my Galaxy Nexus and it continues to this day. It's something that I still can't seem to fix beyond disabling media through my Bluetooth. I have a Plantronics Legend connected to my Galaxy S4 as well as my work IPhone 4S. Whenever I get a call on either phone and the call ends my music player automatically starts up and plays a song. It doesn't matter what media player I use. Currently I'm using Rocket player but it happens with Google music or any other player I've had. This occurs even if I haven't used the music player since a reboot. I know I can disable the media playback option on the bluetooth headset in bluetooth settings but I generally want to use the headset with media occasionally. I just don't want it barging in whenever I hang up the phone. This does not happen when the phone is connected to my car though (2011 VW Golf.) Any deep setting I can adjust to disable this annoyance?

Did you ever solve this, as I have exactly the same problem with a Plantronics Legend/Galaxy Note 3/iPhone 4S combo?

Nope. I now have a note 3 and iPhone 4s combo as well. I just got the not yesterday so we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully it goes away
What music player app do you use for bluetooth in your car?
I'm trying to find a player that will work with bluetooth in my car but every player I tried doesn't work in my car. No song info is shown and I can't change songs on the steering wheel, everytime I do it pauses and I can't get to play again through the car.
The stock player does all that but it doesn't have a good eq like poweramp or the fading options like that.
I've tried playerpro, rocket music player, jetaudio, and n7player but none of them work with bluetooth
N7 works over Bluetooth for me. Same with Google Play and numerous streamers like Pandora and Songza to name a few.

I have never had this problem ever, on several devices and cd players. But, my habitual usage includes Google play music app. It works well enough for me, and is fast on hsdpa or better.

Any player should work over BT. Once your connection is up, just navigate to the player and you should be good to go. Since BT is just providing the A2DP connection, the player doesn't care where the music is being sent to. It just plays it to the audio out source. I think your problem is your headunit, but can't be 100% sure. My players (all of them, both streaming and non-streaming) work on any BT car I've connected too. Some cars won't display the album cover art and so forth, but the music comes across just fine.
Well any music app will play music, but I can't seem to change the song from my headunit, it has to be changed from the phone. Changing songs from the car will pause it everytime.
I would like this feature to work with my car on an app like poweramp
For me, All the controls work from steering wheel for every music player I used (from stock to ASOP) May be it depends on car stereo too.
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.
