Hi having problems playing spotify audio through my cars Bluetooth connection. Using phone thru Bluetooth and playing music through stock player both work fine but spotify just shows itself playing track on the phone while the car shows track is paused. Weirdly reinstalling spotify worked briefly but then original problem came back. Any ideas, and I love my spotify tunes & really miss playing them in the car. Thanks for any help/suggestions
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.
Bluetooth Isues

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.
Hi. Ever since I updated to kit Kat, when I'm playing music via Bluetooth through my car speakers, if I turn off my car, the phone will keep playing music through the phone speakers rather than just turning off music playback. Does anyone know a work around? Didn't find appropriate settings in Walkman and Bluetooth settings.
I had this same problem intermittently with my old Optimus p920. I never did find out what the problem was.

Turning off your car does disable your car bluetooh? If not then the pairing bluetooh is still on so your phone can't know when you car is turned off.
Same with me
I have the same problem, really annoying. The other car/bluetooth problem i have is when someone calls me the music stops but when the call ends, the music doesn't start, i have to manualy start the player again.
Hi i am facing a new issue after the recent update of oxygen OS to 3.5.4. When i am listening to music on bluetooth headset it's getting crackled intermittently. I am using spotify to play music and Skullcandy grind wireless headset. It functions perfectly with other phones. I feel A2DP is buggy in oneplus phones. Did anyone manage to fix this issue or anyone facing similar issue

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...
Hello everyone, I noticed a problem with my car and stock music player.
With previous phones I could easily see the played song on the car display, play, pause, skip. Now with this phone I can't do anything, it plays music when I start it from the phone, but I can't control it from the car.
Is it a problem of the stock sony music player? On Oreo it was the same as now on Pie.
EDIT: Solved. Probably what did the trick was changing the bluetooth streaming mode in dev option, it was 1.6
