I recently upgraded to Samsung galaxy s4 so bare with me if there some hidden feature I don't know of. My problem is, my pandora app randomly pauses and not sure what can be causing the issue. Sometimes when I'm listening to music and launching another app will pause the music I had no problems when I was on the S3, but it's getting pretty annoying when the music randomly pauses. All I did to the phone was root and install TWRP. Tried clearing Cache and Dalvic cache but that didn't fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated.
At first I thought it was my data connection so I swapped over to wifi and still have problems. No one else is experiencing this?
Mine skips a little on Bluetooth in my car. My s3 never did this but it doesn't pause.

Your smart stay toggle is on....or in the settings you guys have the smart stay settings on and have the phone set to track your eyes. I had this on...videos and music would pause on me....turned it off...doesnt happen anymore.

thanks for your suggestion guys, I figure out the problem. When switching to the S4, I had it paired up to my bluetooth in my car. Apparently the galaxy s4 doesn't auto-connect the A2DP (media side) but only connects the phone side which I have to manually tick every time when I want to stream audio. I downloaded a A2DP app from the play store to force the A2DP to auto-connect to my bluetooth which was the root cause of my pandora constantly pausing.

Has anyone gotten this phone to work playing music through your car stereo through Bluetooth?
I'm paired fine and calls come through stereo, but music still comes through phone speaker. My gf isn't around atm or i'd ask her(she got her HD7 to do bluetooth music on my stereo).
I at least know that once it's paired, it's a phone setting.
I have mine paired with my Sony Bluetooth car stereo and it plays fine. I did have one instance where it played through the phone speaker but it corrected itself the next day.

There should be an option depending on what music player you are using to determine what output you are using. Kinda like if you had a bluetooth earbud, you wouldn't want to play music through it, just receive your calls through it.

So all you did was just pair, started music player, then it automatically went through Bluetooth?
No matter what I do, it just keeps going through phone speaker(only calls go through Bluetooth). I've tried with default music player and poweramp.
I don't have anything bluetooth to try, but there are no options at all to choose output path either in BT or Music player?

Under advanced Bluetooth options there is one labeled FTP Server which I believe you need to have on in order to stream music. Hmm... Tried turning Bluetooth on and off on both the phone and stereo, even rebooted phone. Blah!

When you pair a headset that is stereo capable, it will pair to 2 things, phone audio and media. Have you tried to unpair and pair and see if that fixes it?
I have paired my Rezound with a set of bluetooth stereo headphones and also with my car stereo. I have noticed that the media audio connection is intermittent. It always *says* that it is connected to media audio, but sometimes the sound comes out of my phone speaker anyhow. I have not figured out how to fix this. It seems to happen randomly (more frequently with my car stereo than with the headphones, but it has happened with both). All I can recommend is to go into a Disconnect/Unpair/Pair/Connect loop until you get it to work. It might also help to power cycle your phone. I just did that last night and it paired and connected properly with my car stereo this morning.
This all of course assumes you have checked "Media" under the options screen for the device with which you are pairing.

If it behaves like any other Android phone, when it links up to a bluetooth connection with the audio profile enabled, it should automatically route it's sound to bluetooth, there's no setting in the music player to toggle that.

My car has the option for bluetooth media and when I sync'd the phone to the car last night for the first time it worked flawlessly I didn't have to to anything special. I don't think it's a problem with the phone, maybe the car stereo?
I suspect the phone since I've seen the same intermittent problem both with my car stereo and my headphones. Plus I never had any problem with my original Droid with both those devices.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Update: did a plain old pair with the HTC HD7 again and the music came through the stereo just fine. Tried again with the Rezound and still keeps going through the phone speakers. Oh well... My fault for trusting HTC.. ;P
I see there are a lot of posts about this for the Galaxy S III but not the DNA.
Coming from the Bionic I have been very happy with the DNA in all areas except the Bluetooth! For whatever reason after pairing my car (2012 Impreza) or headset all subsequent Bluetooth connections must be done manually. I tried the Bluetooth auto connect app and its hit or miss. For the time being I am using Widetoid and created a shortcut to Bluetooth settings in the notification bar.
I tried about everything I could find that was attempted for the S3 with no luck.
Has anyone else encountered this or have any ideas on how to fix.
Thanks
No one here?

I just got a Bluetooth audio adapter for my car to play music and it pairs automatically once the Bluetooth receiver gets power, at least it has so far, ive only used it a few times now, but it looks like its automatic for me.
I can report a similar problem. My 2011 Mitsubishi has a built in multimedia/nav system which always paired perfectly with my Thunderbolt for calls and music. The DNA connects automatically for phone calls, but not for music. When I'm in my car, I can go into bluetooth settings see that it is connected and "phone audio" and "media audio" are both checked, but media audio does not work (my car reports 'no connection'). In order to get media audio to work I have to un-check and then re-check "media audio" while it is connected to the car. I assumed this was a bug in my car's system, but maybe not...
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?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone with the latest Android available. I'm trying to nail some bluetooth issues I experience while playing music through Bluetooth in my car using both Spotify and Google Play Music. Car is a 2012 Ford Territory with the latest Bluetooth update applied.
Whenever I play music it cuts out randomly usually for a second or 2 before playing again. Sometimes it automatically pauses the track as well requiring me to pull over, unlock the screen and press play again to get it going This happens at least once or twice and sometimes more per track I am playing in the car. Happens weather the phone is plugged in and charging or not. I've tried turning WiFi off and it seems to not make a difference. Tried changing the Bluetooth profile on the phone and it makes no difference.
Are there known issues with this phone? Could it be other apps running in the background causing this problem? If so what would those apps likely be? Not sure where to go from here. I've downloaded podcasts and played those through Bluetooth with the phone and they work flawlessly. It seems to be just music.
The phone is not rooted and as it is a work supplied phone rooting is not an option. What can I do to improve or fix the problem?
Yes. I have similar problems while playing music on portable bluetooth speaker. I'm using QS-i9300-KK 2.6 right now. On other Android devices is music continuous.
So I have a Ford Edge with a bluetooth receiver where I can play music, as well as some headphones, and I'm having intermittent issues when using this type of playback. The issue doesn't occur with my partner's Note 5, does anybody have any issues with stereo bluetooth? I'm close to writing to LG about it so they can log with (possibly) other reports for the same issue.

Just today i had issues with mine, i have one the parrot devices on my car and it picks up my iphone right away but i tried for about 2 minutes to play music from my v10 and it wouldn't connect to it, someones it connect right away its very off and on. I didn't try to unpair it and re-pair it though.
Am I reading that right, are both BT devices trying to connect at the same time? If so I had sorta the same problem in my Audi. I sometimes had to toggle Bluetooth on and off to get it to reconnect. But what I did was go into the Bluetooth settings for each device and specifically select the profile I want to use for that device. So for Audi MMI, which handles the phone calls, I selected the profile "Call Audio" only. Then for my headphones I selected the "Media Audio" profile only. I just figured that if two BT devices are fighting for the same profile only one is going to win it. And it seemed like it was a toss up which one got the call or media profile first.

No, you are not . However, allow me to clarify that the devices I mentioned are having issues on their own when using the V10. One incident is with my car's stereo, if I'm lucky, the audio will hold or it will decide to be a douche and start getting choppy with 1 second gaps.
Also, I'm noticing with the WiFi that my signal is horrible, but my partner's Note5 is perfect and super quick. I really really like this phone, but these issues are a bit annoying.
I have problems with my car stereo too. When I get in the car, it will connect automatically and start playing like normal but only for a minute or two. Then bluetooth will disconnect. So, I turn bluetooth off and on and, it will stay connected after that.
I also have a bose bluetooth speaker which doesnt have any problems.
I just found this thread after posting to the rom thread I am using...
I am having a minor annoyance with Bluetooth and media streaming.
When the phone auto pairs to my cars stereo head unit (Kenwood KDC-BT762HD), system sounds/calls etc come through the car fine, but not Media like music, videos etc.
Phones says it is paired to Media and the head unit does show the song info and I can control the app via hardware buttons on the unit, the phone acts as if it is playing, but no sound is heard. I have to turn bluetooth off then on or re-pair and then it works fine. I thought it was just the music app I use, but its any apps that play media like music or videos, including Pandora and Youtube.
I have 4 varying bluetooth headphones and they auto- reconnect to the phone just fine with no issues.
Anyone else having a an issue like this with any of their car stereos? My G3 never did this.

I don't think its a MM issue or a vehicle specific issue (and i have an aftermarket stereo head unit) I have not had this issue with any of my other MM (or LP)devices I have tried with the radio. I have a spare LG G3 and a Moto X Pure that is running MM that is running MM and many of the mods and same apps I use on my G3 and now V10, again, no BT issues.
I am not having any disconnect or not pairing issues at all....just the odd thing that the media sounds don't work unless i disconnect/then connect the phone to the head unit when I get back into the car and power up and it auto pairs.
My folks have a much more serious issue with their 2015 Ford Escape and Ford Sync and their Samsung S4's they both have. Phone pairs and works fine once, but then the mic acts like its muted, no one can hear u, even if u un-pair the phone from the car, the phone itslef no longer outputs sound at all. You have to reboot the phone in order to get it to work again. It did it when the phones were on Android L and still after the MM update. Web search finds many folks with same issues in regards to that issue. (which is not the issue i am having at all, infact, their phones work fine on my car).
I found a work around for my issue. Since i simply just needed to disconnect and reconnect the BT to my car's head unit, found a widget that does just that. A2DP Connect2. Car auto pairs, i tap widget once, disconnects, wait a few sec, tap again, connects, my media streaming now works fine.
Still a annoyance, but much better than having to navigate menus and such.
BT issues fixed with update to 20j.
I can confirm that the annoying Bluetooth media stream issue in 20e, where you had to re-connect the phone or no media stream....is fixed in 20j. Auto connect works perfectly every time now on my Kenwood head unit.
