Connecting to Bluetooth automatically starts music player?

I've recently brought a new car stereo and bluetooth gateway - both of which connect to my G1 fine, however...
When I connect them (e.g. when they switch on, as both connect automatically), it starts the music player on my phone playing a random track!
This is becoming very annoying, as I typically listen to Podcasts, not music. So my question...
Is there anyway to stop this happening?
And/or automatically start BeyondPod to be the app that launches on a bluetooth connection?
Note: Am running Cyan 4.0.2 on G1, with JG-Cyan theme (default music player, with slightly different skin).

I am wondering if there is a way to stop this also. I have a Ford with the Sync system and when I call someone there will be music playing in the background until I shut off the music player. lol.

Mine is straight with the JVC KW-NX7000BT head unit. What are your guys spec? Are you rooted? What rom? And do you have the newest radio?

Not sure what you mean by 'Mine is straight'.
My head unit is a Clarion FB289, connecting to a rooted G1 with Cyan 4.02 Rom (with JG-Cyan Theme). As far as I'm aware I have the latest radio.
As the problem/action happens with two different BT devices, gotta be something to do with the phone/ROM (?)

When I said mine is straight just meaning mine doesn't act in the way you guys are having. Go to your settings on your phone and go to about phone and look what your baseband says. Most likely you prolly do have the newest radio but you just wanna check. Without having the newest radio you can run into BT problems.

It has done it not rooted, rooted with JF 1.5, cyan's 3.6.8.1 through 4.02, Hard and the 1.33.2005 SPL, always the latest Radio.
I guess it is the BT device.

New Development
I'm mainly using BeyondPod to listen to podcasts (go figure...).
But was playing with the settings following the last update, I realised that the 'enable headset buttons' wasn't 'on'.
Since switching it on, when I connect to bluetooth devices, it starts up BeyondPod, rather than the music player...
... better for me, would be nice if nothing happened!

+2 year old thread - same problem. Still. It's kinda funny, but then again it's really, really frustrating.
On the same token, cars usually request access to the contact list - and I've found that the phone allows this even if I don't explicitly allow it. If I happen to look at the phone right when the car system makes this request, I can see the notification and I get to "Allow" or "Cancel". But if I don't do anything, it automatically allows it. What gives?
This has to be a flaw of Android. It's a HUGE security risk too. I use rental cars frequently when I travel and I really don't want to give all my contact data to a car that has a new driver every other day or so.
I have a Motorola Atrix btw, not an HTC Dream. Maybe a mod could move this to a general Android forum.

If this does not work try the solution below. I just went out and trouble shooted with my radio. Seems like when I make the pair from the phone to radio I have the problem. When I make the pair from the radio to the phone its a non issue. The first phone I paired was my Galaxy note I went into the radio settings and searched for my phone; paired the phone and it maintains the connection perfect. When I switch between cd, aux and BT audio the phone stays connected. Calls come in voice switches to speaker and then after call if music is playing it resumes via what ever method it was playing pre call. ie CD, FM/AM or media app (pandora).
On my GS2 I tried making the connection from the phone first. ie making the phone seek the radio's BT signal. This is where I had problems. The stock music app would start after every call. ie send or recieve. I also got the annoying music starting everytime the device reconnected. ie the phone would dissconect everytime I switched the radio's input method between cd, aux or bt.
Soulution 1) Make the pair from your head unit and not the phone. Temporairly set your phone to visible and make the pair that way.
Solution 2) Headset block. Stops unwanted headset controls. In this case play on connect. Just remember to open app and hit the toggle button to on on your first use. found in the Play Store.
Solution 3) More of a work around. Media Button Router : App that lets you select what app you want to auto open on BT audio connect, or you can have it just display choices and cancel them out when you turn on the screen.
Both work well with the first being the better of the 2, but the second addresses you secondary criteria "or automatically start BeyondPod to be the app that launches on a bluetooth connection".

I think its solved now my this thread RIP. It frustrated the heck out me, but nowhere actually had a solution. Hope it does not come back in 4.0.

hi
Well Dec 2012 and I am still struggling with this...
I have a Subaru and a Subaru Factory radio with BT streaming. I cannot do "solution 1" as the car stereo does not have option to search for available devices.
The problem I have is not only the above but more...
0. I have the XXLSJ based Neatrom (Jelly Bean) on my galaxy S2
1. It automatically launches either "Power Amp" or the default JB music player. (earlier it used to do Power Amp, but lately it is doing the JB player)
2. I have switched off bluetooth controls in PowerAmp.
3. There is no option for switching off bluetooth in the default JB music player.
After I start the car, I usually switch on "google listen" and the try to play the podcast I want to hear,
next it starts playing and in a secon or two gets muted, (as some music app tries to autolaunch I guess)
then I do vol+ or vol- on the car stero and it starts playing the podcast, and then the phone freezes (hence it mutes again)
and I get a message "poweramp force closed" at this time if I am luck the bluetooth connection stays or sometimes
it resets, and then I have to go through the procedure again!
If I am lucky the bluetooth stays and I am able to listen to the podcast...
If I use the seek+ or seek- buttons on the car I can switch podcasts which is fine, but the Meta-tags shown on the screen are
not of the podcasts, they are still comming from poweramp. If I hit vol+ and vol- on the PHONE (not the car) then the meta-tags
switch to the next or previous song. Note that as the metatags switch I am still listening to 'google listen' and not poweramp.
I would have liked this to work cleanly.. but well...

[Q] ICS 4.0.3 (LQ3) and bluetooth services

Hi all,
I`m confused since i can not disable bluetooth media service on SGN for my car audio.
I can actually, but for this particular session only: by going to bluetooth settings, clicking cog icon on my paired car audio, deselecting media profile and leaving phone profile only.
But the next time i reconnect both services are enabled again.
Any ideas?

i have the EXACT same issue in my car. I haven't found a fix yet

Nice to hear that im not alone here
But im not sure if it has something to od with car audio.
interesting is if it keeps choice of enabled/disabled services at all?
should it by design or not?
Tasker script could help maybe, but i havent tried it yet

problem seems to be old enough

Tasker Pandora

I'm new to using tasker, but I want it to play pandora when it sees my car's bluetooth, and exit pandora when I leave my car. But the media play/pause actions, are causing moto assist to pop up. Is there a way to send play/pause pandora and not have the moto assist interfere?

You can tell Moto Assist to launch Pandora instead of Google Play Music when it detects your car's Bluetooth. Not sure if that's what you're after, but it sounds like that would solve your problem.

Well I was trying to launch Pandora using Tasker, I guess i didn't realize you could use Moto Assist to add any custom actions/events. How do you tell Moto Assist to launch Pandora upon connecting to the car's bluetooth?

Nevermind, I just checked and found the play music option under the driving profile. I do wonder though, how long does it take Moto Assist to "learn" my bluetooth devices associated with driving? I have that option turned on, but the section that says it will list devices it has learned is empty...I really don't want it playing music or reading texts to me while I'm riding in someone else's car.

Interesting question and I'm not sure. I've never had it try to play in someone else's car. Once you've paired it to your car, assuming you haven't paired it with other cars, I think it will work correctly. If you've paired with multiple cars and only want it to play in yours, I'm not sure.

I've only paired it to my car, but I just bought a bluetooth car kit so that I can stream music (my car only does phone calls), so when I drive my phone is connected to two bluetooth devices at once. My question is that Moto Assist says it will overtime learn which bluetooth devices are associated with driving and use them to help determine when the phone should switch to driving mode. It has not yet learned my car (or the bluetooth kit...but that I just got that yesterday), because it doesn't show up in the "devices associated with driving" list. So the only way it knows that I'm driving is based on gps speed/acceleration, which means that I could be in any car, not just my own. How long does it take for it to associate my car's bluetooth with driving? Or is there something I can do manually to define particular devices with driving mode?

Not sure. For me after I paired my phone with my car radio, it immediately saw it in Moto Assist and I've never had problems since. You're sure you've paired your phone to the car?

Cannot play music via Bluetooth Hyundai I35

Hello,
I own a Hyundai I35 2014,
I have the phone connected via Bluetooth, and i can make and receive calls just fine, all is loud and clear.
But it will not play Music (not from YouTube, not from google Music) when i hit AD2P
I checked some forums and other sites, i tried unpairing, i tried force stop and remove data and clear cache, i tried to do almost anything - nothing worked.
i also do not have the "Media Audio" option under options in Bluetooth device properties (when you click the round icon next to the car device name) - but also ,
My brother has LG G3 (android 5.0) and he is ABLE to play music just fine - He also do not have the "Media Audio" option in bluetooth device properties.
Both phones properties look the same, but only the LG G3 is playing music once AD2P is chosen in the Car.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks !

Sounds like a vehicle issue - most phones will not stream audio to a device which doesn't present it with the A2DP profile. Maybe you need to master reset your car's stereo or check with the dealership for a stereo FW update.
Ford just recently released an updated firmware for Sync and now I get mp3 metadata on the display and it auto-reconnects to BT after shutting the truck off.

I`v actually done that, but how can i blame the car when my brother's LG G3 works great with it, and my Wife's iPhone 6Plus works great as well ?

Just from a quick Google search it seems the bluetooth in that car (I'm gonna assume you have a Hyundai ix35, since no "i35" exists) is flaky and problematic.
I would call the dealer and ask if there's a system update to fix BT issues.

I've had an ongoing issue with my Pioneer head unit where it will stop working with Media Playback and continue to connect for call audio. Each time it does this I have to clear the Bluetooth memory on my Pioneer unit. Perhaps your Hyundai has a similar option? They you can repair the device and it should work.
Edit: I should add that this was never an issue with my previous 2 phones (a Samsung Captivate and Nexus 4).

Sorry, no data available on paired BT devices

Hi everyone,
I hope I'm in the right forum. I found some posts regarding disabling Bluetooth Connect from auto playing music apps, and found this nice guide:
How to Disable Bluetooth Automatic Playback on any Android Phone
A tutorial on how to disable Bluetooth automatic playback on your Android device. All you need is 5 minutes of your time and Tasker.
www.xda-developers.com
I try to follow the steps and tried to create a profile using State->Net->BT Connected but when I tap the magnifying glass, I get "Sorry, no data available on paired BT devices" and can't proceed any further as it can't find my paired headsets.
I am running Android 12, Tasker 6.0.10. I have given tasker all permissions. Any ideas how to see my paired BT devices?
Thank you!
