I'd like to use a third party music app (preferably Vanilla) but when I connect with my car by bluetooth the stock music player always auto starts playback. If I force quit the app the music sometimes continues playing even though the app isn't visible in the app list anymore. In rare cases I managed to force quit the stock player and get the third party player running (while my car system's display still showing the track from the stock player). Is that behaviour caused by my car system or is it the generic music app? Is there a way to disable the stock music app? The main reason to switch players is that I want one that has more features like integrated equalizer, swipe function and screen stay awake features. I know that eq and stay awake can be added by separate apps but thet's not what I call good usability.

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 am currently running stock FRF91 and am experiencing a very frustrating issue after upgrading to Froyo.
Prior to the upgrade when using a bluetooth headset, the foreground audio app claimed control of AVRCP and kept control, even when running in the background, until a different app was brought to the foreground. For example, if I wanted to listen to an audio book using the Ambling Audiobook player, I'd launch the player hit play on my headset and it would play. I could pause it with the headset and resume while the app was in the background or the device locked. If I wanted to listen to music, I'd be able to launch Mixzing or any other program and while it was in the foreground, hit play on the headset and the new app would have control of the headset and behave in the same manner as Ambling. This is how things are supposed to work.
Since upgrading to Froyo, the default media player grabs a hold of AVRCP and and will not release control. It doesn't matter what app is in the foreground. When I hit play on my headset, the default player launches. However, once it launched Google Listen and on another occasion Mixzing. I have not be able to replicate that behavior however. It does consistently launch the default player, except for the those two exceptions.
I am using a Jabra BT3030.
Any thoughts? This is really starting to annoy me.
confirmed with my phone too.
Of course what makes the behavior really weird are the two times where the default player did not retain control. However, as I said I've not been able to duplicate that.
It seems that I can't disable the stock music app in the app settings. I wouldn't mind it being there, however it conflicts with every other music player.
For example when I listen music in Google Music, and I press the button on my headset I would expect that GM would stop playing music, but instead the stock music app starts playing.
Also on the home screen I can't control GM, just the stock app.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Root your device and either freeze it with titanium backup or while rooted just delete the. Apk

Thanks, I've removed it, and it's almost perfect. Now the stock music app can't interfere with other apps.
There is only one small issue left but I believe there is no solution for this: The music controls on the lock screen does not work. There is no music control widget, only the one included in the lock screen, which only controls the stock app (which is not removed, so it is useless)
Anyway, now at least I can control playback from my headset. Thanks.
My music controls work on play music and Poweramp when I deleted the stock music app. My issue is that the controls work but there is no album art which I hate.
Hello !
I flashed my head unit with a recent malaysk rom (update_4_4_4_FUSE_1024X600_RK3188_16_MAL_17_03_2016) and I just discovered jetAudio which suits me as player for different reasons (prev/next SWC don't work in that app and the EQ enhances the sound like the standard EQ doesn't).
But it doesn't behave like the standard "Music" app :
- When starting up the car it doesn't resume playing automatically
- When switching to radio it doesn't automatically pause but instead lowers its volume and you can still hear your music in the background of the radio
How do I get jetAudio to behave like the "Music" would if I used it ?

I think standard music app is controlled by the MCU (If i remember rightly)
So it knows to stop playing when losing focus.
Most other music apps dont work in the same fashion as generally you want to minimize the app and keep playing.
I use JetAudio and have gotten used to the idea of pausing music before exiting and likewise pressing play on start up.
If someone can get around this with Tasker or something i'd love to know too

Has anybody a solution for this issue? "....When starting up the car it doesn't resume playing automatically"
RocketPlayer seems to do this just fine on my headunit.
Stock 12, I'm old now so I haven't rooted it or done anything other than enable developer settings.
I have the phone set to go into Do Not Disturb at 10 pm to 7am. Despite my setting up exceptions for playback on Pulsar (great app for just playback of local music files, no crashing because of large Album lists like that trash YouTube music) TuneIn radio and VLC, all sounds stop when Do Not Disturb kicks in.
No matter what audio app I use and exempt in the silent mode settings, I still can't play audio with do not disturb turned on.
This is an issue, because I like to listen to a podcast or relaxation music and be free of notifications.
Is anyone else having this issue?
