Deleting preinstalled songs - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was able to remove all the preinstalled songs that came on the phone except for Leavin. The song will start up automatically anytime I use the Bluetooth in my car. Does this one specific song require a root of the phone in order to be deleted? Confusing why just one song cant be removed...

Might try to disable walkman app. Had this issue with headphones.

Duplicate Songs

Hey guys,
I went to play some music on my phone today and i have every song twice.
I am using Cyan 4.04 and HTC music. both songs acording to the player are sitting in the same place.
I just tried deleting all songs off my SD and rebooting but no go. The songs still appear in HTC music but now i can play any of the cos they arent on the SD card to play.
Anyone else seen this or know of where the data file for HTC music is kept so i can delete.
Thanks guys
I did a couple of searches for duplicates but with no avail
Cheers
I'm having same problem. All songs have duplicates. But there is only one actual audio file in the music folder. I have my music stored on '/My Storage/Music/Artist/Album/Songs.mp3'.
I tried deleting the files in the HTC/AudioManager folder (music.vol & cache files, then restarted) but didn't help.
And on a separate note, should I be able to flip through multiple albums on the Music tab home screen, or just the songs from the current album? I can only flip through the songs from one album, then have to use the Library to find another. And am I stuck having songs listed alphabetically instead of album order?
Anyone track down any answers for this one? Really would like to get Audio Manager working properly.
THANKS!

headset control buttons

i am having problems with my stock headsets
the control buttons dont work at all.
i cant pause/unpause or change track while listening to music
i cant pick up or hang up a call either.
anyone facing the same issues?
any fixes?
Could be two things.
Do you use a task killer? Make sure you're not killing the required service or app.
If you have installed other music players they may have taken over the controls, to overcome this you can reinstall the stock music app or w/e your using.

i've had pandora, but issues still apply to pandora as well
i've wiped and tried the headset with the music player right after before installing any other apps, and still i have the same issues
Uninstall any media player app you have installed, it could be interfering with headset clicks.
Use default media player and enable headset controls in configuration.
Put the default media player widget on any of the main screens.
If it doesn't work yet. Try installing DroidShuffle and check again.
there's also an app on the market called fix headset controls or restore music controls.. something like that which restores the head phone buttons to original.

I have no way of testing anything like this but what came to mind while reading your post was this:
Uninstall Spotify
Disable Google Play Music
Reboot
Download Spotify apk from apkmirror.com
Copy name of Spotify apk without ".apk"
In /system/app/ (same location as Play Music) create folder with the name you copied
Copy Spotify apk into that new folder
Change folder permissions to 0755
Change apk permissions to 0644
Reboot

Why would sideloading spotify help in this situation? It wont.
@leekene, are you running a stock rom or custom? Also try going to settings>apps and goto google play music and push the "clear defaults" button and see if that helps.
cheers guys i tried that before with the clear defaults. i think the issue is google play is the default music player, where spotify is just an App on a phone that allows streaming. so when the car requests music it will request the music player which is understandable but in my mind there must be something i can do to boot spotify instead.

/system/app/ instead of /data/app/.
Get an NFC tag and write it so when you get in your car, just tap the tag and have the bluetooth connect to the car and then open Spotify.
This is how I have it set up in my car (08 GTI) with Pandora.
Or, use Tasker and build a profile that will do it by voice commands via Autovoice.
I use an app by Sony called smart connect, it will auto open/play any app or tracks based on Bluetooth device connection or aux connection. Ex. I turn on my work Truck, it will connect to the Bluetooth stereo open Google music and play the last track. Plug in headphones and it will open Netflix for me (only reason I would use headphones personally). It also allows time triggers as well.

disable play music, use poweramp. bluetooth settings in poweramp has an option to auto play music upon bluetooth connection

Question Bixby Routine/Spotify Playlist Issue...

Hi all,
This is really a shot in the dark but I have been trying to set up routine(s) that when specific bluetooth speakers are turned on, it will play specific spotify playlists. Pretty awesome idea, except that when setting up the routine, if you click on the spotify option it gives you several generic categories of playlists. Most of the playlists offered are generated ones I would never use. It shows about 3 of my actual playlists, but not the ones I want to use.
Here is what I've attempted:
Clearing cache on all samsung apps and spotify.
deleting the user folder for spotify (not rooted, wasn't accessible, did this via uninstalling and re-installing the app and confirmed that it did remove the directory).
made sure all the playlists were public.
connected spotify to samsung music.
I'm at the extent of what I've seen as potential solutions and unfortunately have only found one thread directly related to it.
So my question is: does anyone know how to correct this so all (not just 2-3) of my spotify playlists show up as an option when I set up a bixby routine for playing music?
Unfortunately this is one of those annoying things that I've become hyper focused on so any and all help is appreciated.
Don't start spotify through the music option. Choose function>open app or functions>scroll to spotify and choose your playlist.
The app functions doesn't show all the playlists either so maybe you have to first start that playlist in spotify before you create the routine
Which error?
