Hi guys,
I have a bluetooth related issue : when I connect to BT (my car BT system for example) the Huawei "Music" automatically starts and plays some crappy music.
This plays over Waze etc. and is extremely annoying.
I have tried to disable "Music" but no matter what I do EMUI overwrites my settings and grants access to "folders" etc.
I have done pretty much everything and "Music" automatically start once I am connected to BT and I try to use it for navigation etc.
Is there a way to perm disable Huaweis stupid "Music" app? I tried to set "Google Music" to default, but no luck : "Music" still starts and plays some strange tune I can not even find on the phone. (a tune thats title starts with something "Dream...."
Please help, I am going nuts ! Thanks.
Did you find a solution for this?

If you want to stop playing music, you need to clean up the music APP on the phone side. If you want to play music with other music apps, you need to clear Huawei Music App (whether it is playing or not) on the mobile phone side and open other apps to play.

Whenever I connect my phone to the bluetooth of my car, Poweramp player starts playing some random audio files that it can find on the phone. And typically would not shut up until I explicitly turn it off. The same was happening with my old phone (Droid Incredible) although not sure if it was the same application or some other player.
Is such a behaviour application-specific or is there some global way to prevent any programs from starting up automatically when bluetooth is connected?
At first glance I do not see that in Poweramp settings such a behaviour is configured or that there is a way to disallow it.

There is an option under Poweramp settings for "Resume on Headset Connect" and "Resume on BT A2DP Connect". Both under the headset menu in settings. Have you checked those to see if one might be causing it?

Both options are unchecked and if I read correctly they should be unchecked if I do not want automatic play.
I'll try to check them and see if it helps.
Google music does the same thing every time that I get in my car, it is very annoying...

That's why I think there should be some global solution not specific to any application.
Perhaps, one can somewhere choose which application fires up when bluetooth is connected?
At first glance I do not see such an option in bluetooth configuration...
does anyone have a solution on this yet?
Try this:
1) Download Greenify (free).
2) Add the app(s) that automatically start to Greenify.
3) Test.
Greenify puts apps into a "hibernate" mode that disallow it from running in the background until you manually click on them to open. This is meant to help your phone by saving battery that those apps would use, but I could see it being helpful in your situation as well.

Eventually I used a hammer: I have frozen the offending application in Titanium Backup and it no longer bothers me when the phone connects to bluetooth. Of course, the downside is that I cannot use this application at all now but it was so annoying...
Before that I tried to use llama to kill the application automatically when connecting to bluetooth but that worked only in about 20% of cases.

Just tried Greenify. The free version does not "greenify" system application like google music and apparently I was wrong that it was poweramp. I have not tried the paid version yet, not sure if it is worth buying. Back to the hammer solution for now.
I'm fairly sure the "donation" version is the same.
If you're willing to pay for a great app with many uses, then buy Titanium Backup and use their Freeze function to stop Google Music.
My CAR does this. There is a setting in the bluetooth menu of my car called "Auto Play." When turned on, the car will start playing music when I get in the car, when off, I have to manually turn on music.

The free version of Greenify claims that greenifying system applications is an experimental feature of the donation version. I have not tried the donation version though.

I found this at pioloteers.org (Honda piolot forum):
"I have Samsung Galaxy and from what I read on the net it's a big annoyance for a lot of people. It isn't Pilot related, but is frustrating for a lot of folks nevertheless. The solution is to disable auto play on the phone as hollowpoints suggested. Unfortunately, not all android audio players have this setting. The one which I use – PowerAmp – does have it and I was able to disable it. After that Android stock player started auto-playing and you can't disable the auto play on it, so I had to uninstall it. Now the problem is solved."
I have a 2012 MB GL350 and the option is in the media interface settings.
Whats up everyone... I've had this phone for a few months now and can say it's easily the best I've ever had.
The only "issue" to speak of that I've found is when my phone connects to my car bluetooth, it doesn't always automatically play. I've tried clearing/resetting pairing, all sorts of different music players (power amp, google play, android basic, etc), even tried to utilize the Smart Connect native app in the phone to start the music player app when connected. I have all available options checked related to automatically playing music on bluetooth connect.
Bottom line, the problem is intermittent, frustrating, and I can't seem to figure it out. Is anyone else out there have a similar issue or have any tips related to this?

What stereo system do you have in your car? I have the Pioneer AVH-X4500BT in my car and each time I start my car up, it searches to auto connect to my phone. Once it does and I have it on Bluetooth Audio mode, it plays whatever song I just had played on my phone.

Also have a Pioneer head unit BT6400 I believe. Have used it with my past 3 phones... motorola and HTC without issue. The behavior you've described is the way all have worked in the past. Now, for whatever reason, sometimes it does not auto play.

Were there any changes you've applied to your phone? Safe bet is to clear out the BT connection in memory and connect as if new. Also try to limit to just one music player on the phone. Because I think it would automatically run off of Walkman, but other players can interfere.
I think this may be a Samsung generic problem, but does anyone know if there is a way to stop notifications interrupting music playback without having to mute the phone? Really annoying having to do this every time.

I have exactly the same problem - it was not an issue when I was on the HTC One (M7). The S6 is a lovely phone, but I really want control over this.
The fix I have at the moment is the "Don't Pause" app, which detects when you are listening to music and puts the phone on vibrate, but what I really want is a subtle audio notification which does not pause the music or interrupt my podcast.

Thanks for the tip. Yeh, I'm coming from an M8 and it used to just play the notification over the top of the music which was fine as you usually couldn't even hear it anyway. I'll check out that app.
Thanks!
Seems to me like a software feature. Using the stock music player, notifications would pause the playback of music and then resume after. I didn't like this behavior either. I started using Poweramp. It has a "Short Audio Focus Change" option that I turn off. Now my notifications play over top of music.

I also come from HTC and this issue is driving me nuts. Even when notifications are muted my device is pausing when I use Google Messenger to SEND a text message. I've no idea why sending a message would cause my music player (Spotify) to pause briefly.
The same when I use my watch's "ok Google" feature - the music on my phone stops playing... that makes no sense to me. Why would the "ok google" feature of the watch pause the music on my phone while listening?
This also happens on Google Play Music. Really annoying.

If you use Lightflow, you may be able to do this by setting up your app notifications in Lightflow and then selecting "Audio Focus Ignored" in the Labs tab in Lightflow and it may fix it.
I know it worked on my Nexus 5 but I'm unsure whether it will work on the S6. It's worth a try if you're already using Lightflow for LED control.
More people are joining...and the plot thickens:silly:

Disable the outgoing sound in the settings of Google messenger to get rid of that issue.. But as for the rest, I've learned to live with it.

Sent from my Galaxy S6 Edge
This is the most annoying thing ever about the Samsung S6. I just got it recently having switched from a One Plus One. Now I remember why I left Samsung before. This has been a recurring issue since the S1. On top of that, the audio notifications seem to be delayed and come after the vibration i.e. phone vibrates then and then the sound comes when a notification occurs.
Has anyone also experienced when headphones are plugged in with music playing and a notification occurs, the headphones cut off and music plays from the speakers?? This is especially frustrating when I'm on the bus or a quiet place.
Samsung really needs to fix this annoying issue.
hello everyone, i also was going through this annoying problem but for me i found the best solution on my galaxy s6, when im listening to my music . I went to settings clicked "sounds and notifications" then clicked "do not disturb" and turned it on . then scroll down on exeptions and u can turn off alarm , calls, messages . The cool thing is the notifications go throw u can see your notification light blinking and with no interruptions and once you stop listening to your music turn off "do not disturb" and everything back to normal. To me its the easy way on my galaxy s6 with out downloading extra apps and it works great ...
Hope it helped you guys out and can enjoy your music without any interruptions
Just to say "me too!". Sooooo annoying when listening to music or audio books. Can we some how let Samsung know about this?

I use Tasker to put my phone into "do not disturb" mode when my headphones are plugged in. I had it set up to go silent when I had my music app open before and found the headphone thing to be more effective. I haven't tried to just make it quieter, but it's probably possible.
Something to mess around with. Plus, Tasker does a ton of other cool stuff. Totally worth the $3 for the level of automation they offer.

Thank you that's been annoying the hell out of me but have changed settings now thank you! ?
This issue is still not resolved I take it? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn that crap off on my A3. I'm using Google Music.
When I listen to music the only thing that should interrupt is high priority communication. Basicly just phone calls and emergency/gouvernmental alerts. Evertything else is low-priority communications and won't ever take precedence over my music but I don't want to turn the notifications off completely.
The guy who figures having random whatsapp messages disturb your music experience obviously doesn't use his phone for listening to music while participating in several Whatsapp groups.
Hii everyone
I was facing same issue in Mi Max MIUI 8 running android MM.
I started using music folder player 2.1.4
preferences->behavior->handle audio focus->choose ignore audio focus.
Music didnt pause by incoming msgs (text,whatsapp, mails, etc).
Thanks.
Please share ur experience.

Wow you solved this for me after years of looking for a solution! Thanks!
For anyone interested, in Poweramp, go to Settings > Audio > Audio Focus and uncheck "Short Audio Focus Change"
Uconnect/ Bluetooth devices
I FOUND A FIX.
For me, using the Uconnect setup incoming sms message announcement did NOT work. It works ONLY for when you are listening to the radio. I like to use my music apps on my phone like Apple Music and like other people, Samsung Milk Music or others and when listening to this I would still get the extremely frustrating "New SMS message from (insert name) press uconnect phone button to..." blah blah and whenever I hit cancel to escape that long interrupt it would take 10 seconds to get back to my music and sometimes it would pause my music and while driving you cant simply go back in and play it. I figited with EVERYTHING. I tried the uconnect manual, I tried to disable notifications for both my message+ app I use and Apple Music and neither worked but the answer was much more simple than I thought. Here it is: go to your settings that has all the options like wifi, airplane mode etc... tap your bluetooth option and it should pull up not only the uconnect you have paired but all the otger bluetooth things you have paired. Next to it is a gear icon. Tap on that and it will appear all the thing uconnect has access to like media audio (music, videos) call audio, contact access and MESSAGE ACCESS. TURN THAT OFF. THIS WILL STOP INTERRUPTIONS DURING YOUR MUSIC APPS AND SUCH.
I have not used this with other bluetooth devices but it worked for my car and I hope it works for you too.
Hey everyone,
When I have my phone connected up to Bluetooth in my car I can stream music (from andrewhaug.com app) for about 5-10 minutes before the music stops. If I wake the device it will resume streaming. Has anyone experianced this behaviour? Is there any kind of setting that I need to look at?
Im running DevBase 5.9.
I have tried resetting the Bluetooth settings but to no avail.
I have noticed possible similar behavior. When using my s9 plus verizon with my 2012 infiniti g37 randomly the Bluetooth music will skip on Spotify(every couple of minutes the music I'll pause for a second almost like a skipping CD) Never experienced this with my s8 or s7. Its always been like this with my s9. Never changed any settings or bothered looking into it.
So, somewhat of an update.
Over the past week I have noticed that the music streaming only cuts out IF the app is not the main focus. What I mean by that is; the app has to be running in full screen, like any normal app, BUT, if you exit out of it to the Home screen or go into another app and then lock the phone, that is when the music stops after a certain amount of time. Even though the app has a background service running, for some reason, its not the main app in focus, it gets put to sleep/kills the resources for it.
A bit of a weird quirk. Not sure if its an Android thing or an app thing.
Put the app out of battery optimisation & allow its background activity

I have battery optimization turned off for all apps.
Another interesting issue is when I'm streaming music, a call comes through, and when its done, the music doesn't resume playing. If I resume it like normal, it then stops like the original problem.
I can restart the phone and then it doesn't have a problem.
Hi,
Whenever my phone connects to my car's bluetooth, it will automatically start playing the last media I played. The problem, is that I will go DAYS without ever using media on my phone so I will resume a podcast from last week despite the fact that the podcast app is closed. I notice that even when I force stop the app, I can go into the Menu, go to Media, and still see it sitting there with no way to close it. Also, if I pause the media...after a while my car will disconnect from the bluetooth and then reconnect...which then resumes the media again. Oh, and if I get a notification about something like an email...you guessed it, the media will resume again. This is beyond frustrating because I often like to go on quiet car rides...and again this happens even when I force close the app (podcast, spotify, whatever).
This was also an issue with my S10, but not my Pixels. This has to be a OneUI or Galaxy specific issue. I have seen mentions of this bt/media issue in other boards when searching but the only thing I have seen to semi fix the problem is by setting up Tasker.
I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue and has resolved it. I am also wondering if there is a way to switch to a vanilla android os ROM so I don't have to use OneUI anymore. To clarify, I have been using Nova, but that doesn't change how the phone handles media.
Thank you for your help.
