[Q] bluetooth car audio issues - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently went with an HTC One and while I'm loving the device I've gotten quite spoiled with the car integration of the iphone. My phone is connected via bluetooth to my car audio system. Makes and receives calls fine. Plays out of the "Music" app fine.
But getting beyond that is incredibly annoying. The Music app just wants to play whenever i go to the bluetooth input and getting it to play something else is sometimes impossible. Starting spotify sometimes gets me spotify audio, and sometimes I get stuck in a loop where my car's audio is "paused" and spotify is playing on my phone. I tried to use my phone to stream slingbox audio over bluetooth today and simply couldn't accomplish this, every time i went to bluetooth the music app would start and the slingbox feed would get disconnected. Same behavior with WatchESPN.
On an iphone, the audio is all piped through the same thing and multiple audio feeds can't play, so this would be as simple to fix as double tapping the home screen and going to the airplay like icon and selecting the right output if for some reason it wasn't playing a particular app's audio over bluetooth.
Is there an app or any change I can make that will allow me to control which application is sending the audio over bluetooth? Can I disable the music app just taking over whenever I connect my car? Any other ideas I haven't thought of?

Are you using the car mode system? Go into the car app, go to settings (tap on the bottom middle), and make sure to turn off all the auto-music and such.

No, would I be able to control sling player in that mode?

Similar Issue! Bluetooth works only with Google Music App
I have a similar issue. Bluetooth pairs well with my stereo, and if I use the Google Music App all is great. I get great sound and track information. On all other apps (pandora, spotify, tunein Radio) the app shows that my music is playing but there is no sound coming from the car audio. The strange part is...when I play on Google music, then hit play on Spotify, spotify will play my track for a few seconds before the sound goes away. The track is still playing in the app though. Has anyone else encountered this?

Has definitely happened to me on more than one occasion. I've really only "fixed" it by restarting phone and car and hoping for the best.

iPhone market penetration and awareness has driven ICE integration to the exclusion of other brands.
Lack of similar joined up Android integration is the only thing stopping me going mechless in the car.
Until then, CD.

Yes I've encountered this in my 2011 Sienna. Yep I'm one of those spoiled by how well iOS handled audio through Bluetooth. I haven't tried Spotify, but I did try pandor and tunein and got the exact same results as you, with Google Music being the only player that works. I just transferred some music from my iTunes library and will try playing music through the native music app.
This won't be a dealbreaker for me but man do I miss how seamlessley iOS handled this. At least the steering wheel controls seem to work with Google Music, allowing me to jump to the next track.

So bluetooth streaming works fine for the native music player and I can go back and forth between Google Music and the native player and it streams fine via bluetooth. Still doesn't work with Pandora.

Hi, Mine is totally broken...I could it be that the Uconnect system in my Dodge truck needs an update...Is anyone with Uconnect having any issues streaming?
Thanks in advanced

I am experiencing the same. Google music and google play stream perfectly. Maps(Navigation), Spotify, TED, Youtube have no speaker output, car speakers or otherwise.
In the same car I've previously been using a Galaxy S2 with all the above apps streaming via bluetooth just fine.
Anyone any ideas...?
Edit. I've tried everything but looks like this is a known issue with 4.1.2 jellybean. 4.2 update on its way within a month I hear.

Here's the workaround that I discovered in androidforums. I can confirm that it works with my AT&T HTC One and 2011 Sienna:
Launch pandora
Launch Google Play Music
Under Manage apps, select Google Play Music and stop it.
Sometimes Pandora starts streaming at this point.
If not, select Pandora from Running and stop everything under it.
Restart Pandora and it should stream now.

Just got an OTA update but no 4.2 yet. Bluetooth is still broken (unless you use Google music)

I have a 2013 Honda Pilot and whenever I stream music from my HTC One via Bluetooth, it will "pause" the music player. This happens all the time. It might go a few songs before it happens or will pause multiple times during a song.

BT Media Stream issue

My car has the MS Sync system on it and I use my phone to stream music to it over blue tooth. It works great.
Now my one issue is more of an annoyance. Something I had before but don't have now. I was running Damage Control 2.09.01 for a while using the MixZing media player. So long as the BT was enabled on the phone the car would connect and the phone would automatically start playing the song it was previously on without any interaction from me. It would pick up right where it left off.
Now I've switched to ZenHeroFX 2.0 still with MixZing player. When the BT connection is made it won't start playing the song automatically like it did before. I can of course hit the play button on the media player or i can hit the previous/next button on the steering wheel controls and it will start playing but I'd really like to get it back to starting automatically.
Anyone have any ideas? I've checked all the settings in MixZing but can't seem to find anything that would affect this.
Good luck

[Q] Spotify and Bluetooth audio problems

Car Bluetooth Audio Default Music Player

Reg. Bluetooth Audio -
I am having an issue, likely not related to Malladus, but could be. I use my phone in my car for bluetooth phone AND Audio. Audio being the key here.
Phone is working fine. Audio, will not work with anything except the stock "Music" app. I enjoy using DoubleTwist audio player, but nothing works to get it to play through the stereo. When I bring up the music app, it works fine, when I try to play through DoubleTwist, nothing happens. The stock toyota stereo shows my phone connected, audio enabled, the phone shows a track playing, but no audio is coming through. But if I load up the default music app, it starts working fine.
This has worked fine on AOSP roms before due to the fact that there is no "default" bluetooth stack player. I've read around, and the ROM is prioritizing the stock Music app. So I went and remove the Music app with root, now no audio will play except phone calls.
I am SURE someone has run into this. Is there a fix I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can play music fine from the stock KK leak to my Motorola T605 with Google Music and Dsub. Try a different rom and rule out if it's a Malladus problem or not.

OK so may be streaming is causing it
Update:
I found the issue it appears that spotify is causing it as i am streaming songs. On google play music its working perfectly
I'm having the same issue, when playing games and streaming videos in Chrome.
Same issues in Spotify sometimes...

Bluetooth Connectivity Issue

When Bluetooth is connected to eirher my earbuds, car stereo, or speaker (not all at the same time) playing music using Poweramp, when I disconnect then reconnect, no music plays through although it is connected. Poweramp will show the song playing, but nothing is coming out the speaker, earbuds, or stereo.
Example: I'll connect to the car stereo and play the music normally. I get out the car, but when I get back in and my phone automatically reconnects, Poweramp shows the song playing, but nothing comes through the speakers. I then have to go into Poweramp's settings, clear the cache, then force stop it, to get the music to play again. Sometimes, I'll even have to restart my phone to get the music playing again.
I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling Poweramp, but it doesn't help.
Anyone have any suggestions or similar experiences?

i had a very similar experience with some bt headphones where the bt connection settings would show audio for calls, but not music. Ive had to forget and repair those headphones so many times its stupid, then after running the U1 firmware update it hasnt done it since
Anyone?
It's probably just Poweramp getting confused when the phone switches audio outputs mid-playback. Does this happen with every app or just Poweramp?
