How to stop Spotify from hijacking in-line media controls? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am stuck with this issue. The Spotify keeps taking over my media keys. I want to listen to music using AIMP app, the media buttons work great when I am in the app. But once I lock my phone they keep getting assigned to Spotify.
I've tried using Force-Stop on Spotify, but it doesn't work.
I have default music app set as AIMP
Android 7.1.1., OnePlus 3T
Any ideas? Thanks

[Q] Playback control of Google Music not working (GB/CM7.1/HTC Vision)

Hi!
I have installed Google Music, which I would like to use to sync/listen to music. My problem is that externally controlling playback (play/pause/skip) does not automatically control Google Music, but the stock Gingerbread Music player.
Of course, from within the Google Music app itself it works, but external control like from the CyanogenMod lock screen widget or from Bluetooth AVRCP commands it always starts playing on the stock player.
It actually works after I launch Google Music once manually. It seems to control the last used/active app automatically, which is good. But when there's nothing running, it defaults to the stock player.
Is there a way to change that? It's annoying especially with Bluetooth AVRCP and A2DP in the car...
Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually, after some time (when Google Music is closed down automatically?) it plays the stock player even if I had been using Google Music previously.
Is there a way to uninstall the stock player just to test if it helps?

Controllable music player for BMW cars?

Hey,
I got my Samsung Galaxy S2 on my BMW 120d linked via bluetooth. But, in contact to my Blackberry, I cannot control the player with the car (I am using Mort Player). So does anyone have a good idea for a good music player that can be controlled from my car?
Best regards
Christian
I have a SGSII and a BMW F30 with the Bluetooth enabled and have been doing a bit of experimenting.
The screen shows the artist, track, album info and I can use the car controls to skip tracks in a playlist or album but I can't select a new playlist or album. The app being used needs to be a system app I think and the only system app. When I used an earlier version of RevolutionRemix with two music apps the last played track from one app would show on the screen but the controls would control the other app!
I am now using the GalaxyMod ROM which comes with the stock Samsung music app. I hate the app but it does allow you to skip tracks using the car controls. I froze the app and installed Google Play Music which I converted to a system app and that too allowed you to skip tracks.
In terms of functionality in the car the stock Samsung app has a slight advantage in that the screen shows the track number and total number of tracks in the selected playlist whereas this isn't shown with the Google app.
However, because of the stupid way the Samsung app sets the albums up, when you click on an artist you are shown every track for each album. If you select a track, the track number and total number of tracks will be based on that track's position within the list of all tracks by that artist.
I would be really keen to know if there is another music app that can be used as a system app that would allow extra functionality. I doubt we will be able to browse songs any time soon but would be nice to have track number and total number of tracks.

Music Player Keeps Pausing or Skipping Tracks

My stock music player keeps pausing after a few seconds of play, and occasionally it will skip to the next track. I am not sure how to fix this and it is very annoying. I have had this issue both rooted and stock. Looking on the web it appears that others are having this issue as well, and that turning off the flip motion does not help, as well as using other players. Has anyone found a fix for this?
EDIT: I have a feeling this is a sensitivity issue with the screen. I notice if I pause, it automatically starts playing sometimes. Perhaps the heat of my touch is being retained on the screen and the app has too sensitive of a setting to tap the play button?
I haven't used the stock music player because of the lack of features available. Try player pro from the play store. It is one of the best music apps I have found, even better then winamp in my opionion.

It will act up if you have it USB-connected to your computer and access the files on your storage card using your computer's explorer.
I'm not connected to anything. Does it while charging, not charging, bluetooth, headphones, phone speakers, stock app, other apps, ect.

Bluetooth Controlfokus to App

Hello,
I'm using deezer Android app to listen to music over Bluetooth. This is working fine for some times. After a while the app only streams music but the controls (play, pause, forward) lost its focus to the app. If I want to pause a song, the Android internal musicplayer starts playing.
Is there an app or any possibility to return the controls to my deezer app ?
(I have root access)
The OS is a cyanogenMod with android 4.2.2
Alternative apps like a Deezer
But I'm using a deezer pay-account. Furthermore last.fm or sportify got the same problem, I tested it.

Problem with voice Control for Music on Wear

Hey XDA-Developers Community!
I've got a Problem regarding the Voice Control Features for Music Playback on Android Wear.
I often use it to quickly start listening to Music of a certain Artist, by saying something like: play [artist].
But when doing this on my Moto 360 it always launches the SoundCloud app and searches for the corresponding Artist there.
However, I want this to be done with Google Play Music or the Music app provided by CM11.
When using Google Now on my Phone (LG G3 running CM11) I can choose which app should be used for Playback and it always uses my Preset.
I have "Music Playback" set to Play Music in the Android Wear Application and reset any default Actions in the app Directory of the Phone Settings.
I hope that someone maybe had the same Issue and/or knows a Way around it.
Greetings from Germany and I wish you all an awesome (hopefully sunny) Sunday!
