Hi,
Before custom ROMS were built on ICS, when I was listening to streaming music in my car (via bluetooth), the phone would automatically stop playing when the car turned off. Same thing if I'm listening to music and I pull the headphones out, whatever was playing gets paused.
Now, when I turn my car off, the music doesn't stop playing, it just starts playing through the phone's speaker.
So my question is, is it the ROM that makes a player pause on disconnect or is it the actual APP that decides to either stop or keep playing through the speaker.
I know PowerAMP has options to auto play and auto stop on disconnect, but other apps like youtube, Audiostation (for my synology NAS) and a few others don't have settings.

I think the fact that some apps have the option indicates that at very least, the app does have some control over it. I don't know if the ROM/kernel have some default setting built in for apps that don't define it.
It seems to be a feature missing in ICS. I'm hoping it shows up by the final update.
I use Tasker to accomplish the same thing. The whole task for media is when I plug headphones in, it launches a menu with media apps (music, netflix, etc) and turns the media volume up to 6. When disconnected, it mutes media volume, pauses media, and returns to the homescreen.
I'll take a look at that in the interim, all I really need is it just to pause on BT disconnect like it use to. The is already a separate volume setting for BT vs the headphone jack. Thanks for the tip.
That's interesting, I didn't know tasker had something to pause media. I'll definitely give that a try.
I believe that was an AOSP tweak..my Inc running CM7 would pause on bluetooth disconnect.

I'n on stock. Android 2.3.4 - Atrix (european model).
I've met the following (very strange) problem when using Endomondo.
[Endomondo is a sport tracker and has a coach assistant that tells you the time and distance. Furthermore, before starting the workout you can start the phone music player by pushing a button in Endo's main screen.]
The problem is this:
1) If I use the default music player (which is internally called Connected Music Player - CMP.apk), when the time comes for the annunciation (lap time) both music and the audio coach are muted.
I can see that, during the coach notification, the phone volume is automatically changed to zero. After the (inaudible) annunciation the volume comes back to normal.
But using alternative music players things change.
2) Poweramp (trial): I can hear the coach notification. The music is completely muted during the announcement. Music's volume resumes after that. The problem is that Poweramp is not recognized as an alternative music player and I can't set it as the music player started by the Endomondo app music button.
3) musiXmatch (free): It works as I think Endomondo devs intended a music player to work. The music is not completely muted during the announcement but its volume is reduced so that it stays in the background during the coach notification, that is so clearly audible. The music volume comes back to normal after the notification.
After installing it, launching Endomondo and pressing its music button I had a dialogue box asking which music player to use (the default one or the newly installed musiXmatch). I chose the latter one and checked the "always do that" option. So everything is fine with this music player.
It seems that the problem is on the way Endomondo access the phone volume and how it affects both the music player (in the cases 1 and 2) and the coach's voice.
My question: does anybody know if there is there some (hidden) android setting that can fix this issue?
I'll up! your post as I use the same pair of apps, i.e. endomondo (pro) + power amp (full) both latest versions, but came across one more issue in addition to yours, maybe someone could help
I'm on leedroid GB running on htc evo3d gsm and found out that audio trainer behaves in a strange way: the initial sequence "prepare to start, free your endorphins" is the same volume level as poweramp music, but during interval comments (every 1km) music from poweramp gets much louder, as if endomondo caused music app to play at that high level. Don't know which setting might cause this. Endomondo is rather obscure when it comes to audio options, while poweramp just overwhelmes me
I'd buy a beer if there was someone who might answer your problem as well as mine..
well, Id like to know whether endomondo recognizes songs played by poweramp?
Hi. I use Rdio as my main music app. Whenever I plug my car stereo to my phone via Bluetooth I tries to play a song from the Play Music app. Since I doesn't have any songs in it, have to take my phone off my pocket and start Rdio manually. And of course I can't control the songs nor they appear the name correctly.
Is there anyway to make Rdio the main app so it starts automatically?
Is there a way to control (play, pause, change songs) and make it show the name on the screen?
Thank you very much.

So, I just got a 2012 Camry, and I've paired my device with the bluetooth in the car. When I get in, music automatically starts playing. I don't mind that it does this, I just wish I had control over which app it starts. It randomly chooses between Apollo and Play Music.
Is there an easy way to control this? Using CM10.2 if it matters.
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)
