Hi, so I've noticed this happen a few times on my trips to and from work, usually when I have bluetooth enabled. Once this morning when I had bluetooth connected to my car stereo, but was just listening to the radio, I unlocked my phone and music started playing. It happened again when I shut my car off too.
I've looked all over the setting menu, but I feel like I must be missing something that I have enabled that's causing this. Either that or this is the beginning of Toby from Paranormal Activity choosing me as his next victim.
Any help is much appreciated.
I tried to re - create this with John Zaffis the Haunted Collector and he thinks Harold Ramis hid a secret back to the future sports almanac in your trunk. He wants to do an investigation, what day and time is good for u?
As for the music playing automatically I couldn't get mine to do it. I have poweramp and there is a setting in it to allow/disallow automatic play when bluetooth or headset is detected. If u have another music player see if you have that in settings and disallow it maybe. I tried digging through stock music settings and couldn't find anything.
Good luck with that almanac though. RIP Ghostbusters

There's an app in the playstore called blutooth connect and play that should let u control it better. It actually gives u settings that will allow u to pick what music player plays over bluetooth and if it autoplays or not when connected. Check it out.

So I think Voice Control was the culprit. I noticed twice this morning that the music started playing right when I started my car, and I think the sound of it starting triggered the voice.

Found my first douh. I use the LG700 stereo Bluetooth headset and the controls are a little screwy.
Volume up and down, no problem. Track forward and backward no problem.but the play/pause button doesn't work right. Pauses only if you hold down the button. But does not play again. Actually play function doesn't work with button at all.
Haven't used call button cause this headset sucks for calls. But great for stereo Bluetooth play back.
Just thought I'd share, maybe someone has a solution.

Ok, I am going to dig this thread up. Its only less than a month old anyway...
I have the same problem. With my Bluetooth FM transmitter, I am able to skip forward and back tracks but I cannot play or pause.
Worked fine with my Evo 3d. Anyone have a solution ?
This probably doesnt help you much but I use the Wireless Beats from Dre and everything works fine.

Bluetooth Play Pause
I have this same problem too. I've done a little fiddling to find that it's somewhere in the BT communication.
I upgraded from the OG EVO and previously used a Belkin BT receiver to transfer Pandora to my car stereo EXT plug. It worked very well with the OG. When I got the new LTEVO, I immediately noticed that the Play/ Pause wasn't working.
I've installed a couple of BT media widgets to help figure it out. I use the Media Button widget to mimic the functionality of the Play/Pause BT command. When I start Pandora and then use the P/P Media button, it operates perfectly. So the command is being interpreted properly by the Apps when it is received.
Next I installed a Widget called Media Button Router, which allows the BT command to be received by the phone and then pauses the current app and pops up a menu to choose which program you want to send the command to. When I hit the P/P button with this widget operating, the menu pops up properly and then attempts to send the command to the app. In this case, Pandora pauses while the menu is up. Once the command is sent to Pandora, it is ignored. So this means that a command is being received, however it is not the correct P/P command that the apps will respond to.
I am really hoping that any update to the kernel by HTC will resolve this soon. Either way, as soon as KushDeck has a few more miles under the CM9 build, I'll be jumping over to that. I am quite sure that the AOSP kernel won't have this issue.

Any chance that the Bluetooth 4.0 protocol is having compatibility problems with older devices???

Yep I use media button router too. And it works somewhat.... Sometimes when I hit play/pause it will pause and still bring up the media menu... Sometimes it will pause the music for a second but the music keeps playing. FF AND RW buttons do almost the same thing with media button router.
I haven't had any problem with FF or RW on the Bluetooth. Just the play/pause.

This is pretty much the exact issue I'm having.
I use bluetooth to listen to Pandora on my car Stereo (JVC) and with my Evo 4g phone I had no issues with any of the controls. From my stereo I could skip songs and play/pause Pandora. I just recently got an Evo LTE however and while I'm still able to skip songs the play/pause button on my stereo doesn't do anything anymore.
From reading here, it sounds like that's the same issue everyone is having. All functions work over BT ~EXCEPT~ Play/Pause. This is actually a good thing that the issue is occurring so consistently, means we're more likely to see it fixed via an update from Google.
I have the same headset as the op and mine is hit or miss, but works most of the time. Sounds like it might be a phone issue hopefully it will get fixed with an update or after the source is released.

Sorry if this is out of place here, but I'm getting zero help from Pandora and Alpine on this one. Just wondering if others have seen this issue and how it might be resolved.
When I connect my Alpine CDE-HD137BT car stereo to my HTC Thunderbolt running Pandora, the connection is made and the music plays. I can even skip, pause and play songs from the car stereo buttons. But the Pandora app on the phone just shows a black screen with:
Pandora
^v (up/down arrows)
Alpine
...and not the regular Pandora screen with the artist, track name and cover art.
If I go to the Android notifications screen where it shows what song is playing in Pandora and touch that notification, it takes me to the Pandora app and very briefly (for a fraction of a second) shows the regular Pandora screen, then immediately goes to the screen described above.
The Menu button when the screen describe above is showing only gives one option: Quit. This, of course, ends the Pandora app altogether.
I've seen videos online of others controlling Pandora on their Android phones from this particular stereo unit, and the normal Pandora screen is shown on the phone, which should be the norm here.
Any guess what's causing this? Anyone seen it before?
I'm running a rooted version of the stock Gingerbread image.
If you go into the settings before pairing your device hit the advanced menu and select Bluetooth for automotive.

Yes, that I've done, thus the fact that I can hear music, skip, pause and play. Everything operates normally, there's just this annoying screen, as described in my original post, overlaying the normal Pandora screen, so I can't see what's playing.
Hmmm... Thats really weird.

I have the same head unit and pairing it with my HTC EVO 3d running Mik's ICS.... I too have the same screen... It might be a HTC thing
old thread, but I just got the same head unit today. I've got a droid 4, and Pandora does the same thing. It's a pandora thing, not an alpine thing. When the head unit is first connecting, the screen says the same thing, but instead of alpine, it is accessory. It might be getting the alpine logo over bluetooth, and it's just a generic API.
What you can do: just do bluetooth audio. You should still be able to control pandora, but you will probably lose the thumbs up / down and other pandora specific features, but play/pause, and next track should work just fine.
its both Alpine and Pandora if you want to display pandora and not the black alpine/pandora screen use the BT Audio function you have some of the functions you can skip songs play and pause but you cant use the search feature or thumbs up/down
I've recently signed up to the All Access trial so have had to switch from using PowerAmp in the car to Google's app. It works fine on headphones, however when I connect it to the car bluetooth it'll play a track fine, start to play the next one and then skip it a few seconds in. If I skip back the track plays OK and it doesn't make a difference if I cache the tracks offline. Any ideas would be great as all access is looking like something I'll have to give a miss unfortunately. I'm on stock rooted, cheers :beer:

Problem solved, thanks to everyone.
If anyone searches for this in the future, plug your phone in to headphones, or your car, or whatever. the unusable options under audio will light up. You can set it to several different settings.
No one knows what to do? please help me, I can't take this much longer haha.
Did you really expect someone to answer your question within a day? Give it some time

Oh, got'cha, for some reason i didn't think it would take to long as I'm assuming this has been a problem in the past... How long does it usually take for a response? thanks
Maybe u should post some more information, like car/radio type how did u connect the phone with the car? bluetooth or headphonecabel?
Did u tried ur phone on an other sound devices and is it the same effect? was ur iphone louder? did u set ur phone volume to 30?
i think u should try to find out whats exactly the problem, if ur phone volume is at 30 there isnt that much u can do on ur phone. the problem must be somewhere else.
What music did u tried to play? did u try to play some other music, maybe some from xbox music?

car: Subaru Impreza Wrx, I use an audio cable (just a green cable with 2 audio jacks, one plugs into the head unit + the other plugs into my phone. I use this for my laptop as well, and the bass hits the way I would like when I have my laptop plugged in. I have noticed that when I am listening to music on my phone, it will drop to a very low level. I then turn off my phone, and turn it back on, and it will say the phones volume has dropped from anywhere between 10-20 instead of the maxed 30 I had it at. I'm not sure if thats related. I know its universal across my phone, as far as watching music videos I have on my phone, pandora, and youtube. It is strictly the phone adjusting my volume level, but telling me it is at 30. I somtimes get a notification that pops up and says "it can cause ear damage if you have your music to loud" and its really not that loud tbh.

Listen, the audio menu has two pages,
"equalizer" and "enhancements". Once you select audio in the system settings, it will show the equalizer page by default. Swipe to the enhancements page to select audio leveling.

I see this, but it is blacked out and will not let me turn it to on. :\ the only option I can use on this page is "flip to silence" :\
This is brilliant. It worked, I never tried having it plugged in. I had a whole bunch of stuff typed out to say thank you but I accidentally deleted it. So I'll keep it short and simple, thanks guys. I feel really dumb x)
Hi all
Does anyone have any issues streaming audio to their car. I can connect my Mate 10 Pro no problem and take calls, however I can't seem to be able to stream music - using Amazon Music.
I have had a look in developer options and everything is set as default - ie i've not changed them.
Any ideas?
TIA
I can, I'm using a Pioneer AVH head-unit if that matters.
Spotify and the stock Music player plays fine, however sometimes it pauses for about .5 seconds (like it does that every 5-10 songs).
I'm using the BMW OEM headunit. One thing i have noticed is that if oyu go into the options of the paired device, you have Phone, Media and Contacts. The Phone and Contacts are on, no problem, but the media switches on and off as though its trying to connect but fails. Don't know if its the phone or the BMW unit......didn't have any issues with my Nexus 6P though

Yeah, that happened to mine.
Was trying to initiate a call from the HU, but it's not working since the phone switch was turned off automagically.
I re-paired it and it was fine after that. Try to unpair the pair again.

I have the same problem with mate 10 pro and Toyota yaris. The phone it fine but the music don't play. Don't work anythings...
I try many time to pair the phone with our succes
My Mate 10 Pro streams fine on Mazda MZD. Sometimes it doesnt show the track/album information. After switching BT of/on its repaired.
Another problem is that the phone always starts the original music app (which is nice but not enough configurable).
I use Poweramp as default player and have to start it manually after killing huawei music.

Had the same issue with audi mmi 3g+ System but restarting the phone resolved it - media connected by itself. I didnt do no unpairing. Same paired device which failed to stream spotify (media kept switching to off when tried to manually set it on) started streaming with no issues after rebooting the phone.
Funny thing is that sometimes bt media reconnects fail when switching car off for couple minutes,like for example you have everything going fine and you stop at the gas station bt media wont reconnect although you left the bt running while away for 5min with contacts and phone connecting fine, but I found a workaround for that stuff - with car swtiched off simply toggle bt off on and it will connect fine after you come back and start your car. This hasnt hapenned on the latest firmware though,but nonetheless I shared my finding since the toggle thing is still a better solution than restarting the phone everytime media connect fails.

On my mate 10 it hapenned only on the first run (bt stream to car stereo). After I started playing Spotify and closed default Music app it always auto starts Spotify when I reconnect to car stereo through bt (Spotify is never closed on my phone but car connect to Spotify no matter if its on play or pause - if its on play music continues on car stereo if its on pause car stereo leaves it on pause but in that situation audio ID loads only when I hit Play on the phone).
Hey everyone, I'm not having any connectivity issues with bluetooth but what I have noticed is the bluetooth audio seems "lower" in comparison to how my Mi Max sounds in my car. Any remedy or solution for that or am I stuck with the low-ish audio I'm getting from the device in the car for the moment?
Hi
I am using to connect to Camry (asia) 2017.... The song plays and can select next track...however, this is the problem that I encounter.
1) the song name does not update when I select the next song... it is always stuck in 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 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.
I driving Mazda car, and huawei really got a big issue, especially Bluetooth, my previous phone Sony Z2 works fine without any issues while the huawei mate 10 I just changed just had problems just like u guys, for now what I always do is to restart phone every day 1 time, and it works fine for me, but sometimes it have some laggy issue when I was pairing with my headphone, and the Bluetooth signal tbh, weak. Well that's the only solution I can provide to u guys tho
Had the same problem with my mate 10. Head unit is alpine ut-72bt . On the head unit the symbols for network and battery were there but on the display was shown NO UNIT. The music from the phone was not getting thru. I spent 1h pairing repairing , firmware update , reset. Nothing really worked. After I restarted the phone everything begin to work accordingly. Maybe will help somebody.

Same for me when playing music on my car head unit, using any music app. I mostly use Spotify. This car doesn't have this issue with any other handsets.
Same problem for me since last update
Did b142 fix these issues for anyone?
I was having similar issue - couldn't listen to Google Play Music in my Bluetooth headphones, phone and contacts are on, but media won't enable. Got it working by starting the preinstalled music app and running a song in it. After that works fine.
