Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the autostart of the music player. I'm on Candy, but it's done this on every rom and any player.
I always freeze the stock launcher and install the Apollo apk. I listen to a lot of podcasts. Every time I start or restart my Jeep with Bluetooth, the music App Launches even if it isn't open and Pocketcast is. Sometimes it's more annoying than others.
I can't find a setting in Settings or the app.

So I really do love my Xperia S but I've notice some issues with walkman that makes it a horrible device. When I'm listening to music and I get in a phone conversation or open up my camera app, the music automatically stops, and does not restart after I close that app.
Sometimes, I open up a game but the music app is still going on, it doesn't stop when I want it to.
When I set the mode to shuffle and then select a song from the queue list, it resets the shuffle mode to off..
Anyone know a way to fix this? I really like the walkman interface so I didn't want to try a new music app, but at this rate I might have to.
I've searched and can't find anything, but I need to find a way to stop the stock music player from playing when my phone connects to my car's BT. I use Google play music and want that one to auto start, but every freaking time I start my car, the Samsung player starts that dumb preloaded song.
Honestly, I don't care if I can't get play music to autostart, I just want the Samsung one to stop. And yes, I've tried disabling the app, but it can't be, at least non-rooted. So, any help/advice would be great. Thanks.

Is Google Play Music set as the default music player? I haven't rooted my phone or anything, it's completely stock and just by setting Google Play Music to the default on Day 1 of getting this phone (April 8th) it always auto starts when I connect via Bluetooth.

I never got the option to set it as default and I didn't see anything about it in application manager. Any idea where to find it?
OK, figured it out in a round about way. I had to open a .mp3 in Samsung's file explorer and then it asked me for the default. So let's see if it works.
@Hendrycks
Thanks! It worked.
That didnt work for me. Upon linking to BT in my car, the stock Samsung player still auto starts. I have tried setting play music as default, I have set Player Pro as default. it still auto launches the stock crappy Samsung player app. Ideally I dont want it to auto launch any app. I use Pandora alot in my car and since it auto launches the samsung app, that means my car stereo does not display the track info for the playing song in Pandora on the screen.
Sooo annoyed
I have the same exact issue and it is driving me crazy. I have tried everything in the phone and settings and there is nothing. I have downloaded both Connect and Play, and Smart Connect as bluetooth connectors but the stupid factory music beats it to the punch every time. Nothing works! I am about to chuck my phone. Someone please help!
me too
Does anyone have another suggestion? This happens to me if I even "pause" my podcast player too long. Truely annoying.
I am going to try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.start.and.play.music.player&hl=en
So far, with the UI, it does look like it has the right settings/options.
Sorry to bump this but came across this while trying to sort this very same issue. I'v found an app called Package Disabler Pro in the Play Store . The best thing is that it works without root.. It isn't free but I thinks if you been looking for something thats solves this issue its worth it. It worked for me so hope it works for you. And if you try it quick enough you can get a refund if it don't work
Download Trigger, I have mine set so when it connects to bluetooth it launches Google music but you can choose anything you want or nothing at all!

I have the same problem. I installed Trigger, but it didn't work. What task did you add?
The best I came up with was denying access to storage in the application's settings. Now it just prompts me to give it permission when I connect to bluetooth. At least that horrid song doesn't play anymore.
Have you tried Tasker ? Had same problem myself on S6 Edge, but after a little fiddling with Tasker. The default "music" closes, tunein radio is launched & my volume levels are adjusted. I can revert back to "music" by pressing play/pause on hands free.
Hi all,
I have an Android Headunit which is currently using the default music app. I'm looking for another one that has more functions.
When the unit starts up it will generally run the last running app which would normally be the music app. with the music app it will auto start playing again.
I'm basically looking for a decent music app that will auto start when opened. As well one that has album cover and has the random music function option.
I've played around with Tasker to play the music when the app runs but this won't work when the head unit auto starts the app.
Thanks
i think many music apps can do that, when you open the app the music starts, all you need is to set in the setting.
i search for you online, there's 10 best music apps, but i don't know whether i can put the link in the forum. try this：
www dot techsupportalert dot com/content/best-free-music-player-and-organizer-android dot htm
if not, please tell me i will delete it immediately!!
the players i've tried don't seem to have that setting. The last one was Poweramp which seems to only auto start if headphones are plugged in.
auto stop current music when choosing other music app & how start app in background
Question/problem1:
When i listen to MP3 using the music apk and i switch to radio the MP3 is stopped/paused and radio is started.
When i listen radio and switch back to music then radio is muted/stopped and MP3 starts to play, PERFECT, this is what i want
But....
When i use an other music app (for example vlc, internet streaming radio or ds-audio etc etc etc) and i start this, the currenct radio/music etc keeps playing on and i hear 2 music sources at the same time...
So i have to stop/end the current music before choosing an other music source.
How can i solve this so whenever i choose an other music source the currect music source is always muted first?!
A second question:
How can i start an app on boot which runs immiditaly in the background?
I use a app called 'flitsmeister' which is an app which warns me on spoeed traps, traffic controls, slow traffic etc
This app currently starts on boot, but i always have to push home button to force this app to the background, it pops-up when there is something to report, so there is no need to run it on the foreground.
So the question is: how to i start an app on boot and let it run immidiatly on the background so i get my dashboard on boot and not this app?
Sorry I don't have an answer to this but I am 100% with you on the functionality and have been looking into it for the last couple of days. I think it might have something to do with the built in apps using one audio stream and the 3rd party apps using another. I have to say I thought I was going mad that I couldn't seem to find any other posts relating to this anywhere else on the forum. As the source code for both the inbuilt apps like Radio and the external apps like Spotify is not available I would think the only solution would be an additional app to run in the background and monitor either the audio streams or the apps themselves being executed.
Maybe someone with some more experience can answer or even better point us in the direction of an app that will perform such a task.

I'd like an answer to this also w/o having to wait for tasker to load.

Maybe you would find my app helpful. Search the forum for modeswitch. A new improved version is coming in a while. It works well with Spotify and allows the SWC to control Spotify. Now it adds voice call capabilities, but as now this is possible with dsa`s workaround, it will be removed in the new version to spped things up. Besides Spotify its possible to add until 2 custom apps. The app tries to respect the audio focus, so that only one app play audio

To use your app you must cycle through them all though right? So you must cycle through radio, video and media player?

The video player is not circled. The DVD and music player have option to opt-out from the circle. As well as Spotify and 2 custom apps..
In next versions maybe I will add the option to respect audio focus without. Using the circle, but maybe this will slow things down...
Great thanks.
Dave
I don't know if this helps but I have noticed through testing. The built in apps play sound while they have focus, either through the app or the widget. For example, if you open the radio app and click the home button it will continue to play. However if you click the radio app and click back it will stop playing. Obviously the 3rd party apps do not work like this and continue to play in the background regardless of how you exit them.
Hi all, I'm running a Huwawei P smart, and got fed up with the default player, so started using Musicolet (after trying several). I like the feature of being able to select a folder and play everything in that, rather than just an album, or artist, or playlist, or all music.
However the default action of the phone was to load the use the inbuilt player, even after I set my chosen one to be default. After locating a thread on here, I stopped the storage access for the default player, which is great. It no longer loads.
But I do not seem to be able to get musicolet to auto load and play when I press my headset play button. Once loaded all works fine, but if i pause music, after a few minutes my player unloads itself.
As I ride a motorbike, it's a pain to have to remove glove, unzip, get the phone out, load the player, the put everything back, all because I say stopped for fuel and paused the player.
Any idea's how to get a new player to auto load?
Thanks.
