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...

Hello,
I just started having problems playing audio from my 2013 Moto X (XT1060 stock KitKat 4.4.4 on Verizon) to my car (2010 Ford Escape with Sync). Bluetooth is working, because I can make and receive a phone call through the car. I just can't get any audio to play, from apps like Google Play Music and BeyondPod. It looks like it is playing in the app because the time slider moves through the track. But no sound comes out of the car speakers or the phone speaker. Headphones work fine, and out of the car when not connected to bluetooth, the audio will play through the phone speaker. It also works with a little bluetooth speaker I have, so I know bluetooth audio does work.
Things I've tried:
Unpair the phone from the menu in the car, then re-pair.
Unpair from the phone, then re-pair.
Reboot the phone (multiple times).
Checked the bluetooth settings for Sync. Under "profiles" both "Phone audio" and "Media audio" are listed and both are checked.
The only recent change that I can think of that might have affected is that I paired my phone yesterday to my new Amazon Echo. Then today no audio in the car. So I also un-paired the Echo, and even removed the Echo app from my phone. But still no audio working in the car.
Any ideas of anything else I can try? Is there some system app that needs to have it's cache and/or data cleared? The only other thing I can think of would be to factory reset my phone, but I hate to go there. It would be a major PITA to get my phone set up again. When I get back home tonight, I'll try it in my wife's car, which also has Sync.

Update: I tested it with Sync in my wife's 2014, and it works fine. Makes me think it's more a problem with the Sync system in my car, rather than my phone.

Yes it was something to do with Sync. I went to syncmyride.com, and found an update to the Sync software in my car. So I went through the process of downloading it to a flash drive, and updating the system. And now I can stream audio over bluetooth again.
After the update loaded, it said it was rebooting the system, which took a long time, like 10 minutes. Which makes me wonder if I had been able to force it to reboot, if that might have solved my problem without the need to update. I'm pretty sure it has never done a full reboot like that since I first bought the car back in '10.
Oh well, it works now and I'm a happy android again. Just thought I'd leave this here in case it helps someone else in the future.
Is anyone else having problems with Bluetooth after the 5.1.1 update? Bluetooth crashes after about a minute when I connect to my car (2015 Mazda 3 - Mazda Connect Infotainment system). It will reconnect and disconnect again over and over. Once it crashed in the middle of a phone call. It dropped the call but then glitched the phone speaker settings. After I left my car and tried to make a call, there was no sound from the phone speaker. This was about 5 minutes after my phone had disconnected from my car and I was well out of range of any Bluetooth device. When I pressed the volume up, the Bluetooth volume increased instead of the speaker volume. This continued even after I turned Bluetooth off completely so I couldn't hear my calls. I had to reboot the phone for the speaker to work again.
I found a partial fix to this problem by going into the Bluetooth settings and under "Allow access to", selecting "Messages" to off. This prevents Bluetooth from crashing but also prevents me from getting texts to my car as well. I was able to get texts just fine before the 5.1.1 update.
Is anyone else having a similar problem and is there a fix? I have not rooted or installed any mods or custom roms to my phone. Bluetooth works fine with every other device I have connected to as well, but I haven't tried any other cars.
Here's what I have tried with no success:
- Unpairing and repairing on both my phone and car.
- Clearing Bluetooth application Data and cache.
- Wiping cache partition.
- Resetting car infotainment software to factory settings.
- Updating car infotainment software. I am now using the most current version 55.00.750B.
- Booting the phone in safe mode.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hey all, I'm wondering if it's possible to use iPod for music while in Android Auto for navigation at same time? I enjoy having my music specifically on the iPod in case I drive through a no cell signal area for example so I'm curious if this is possible with any of the Android Auto head units. Trying to decide on which one to buy right now and this is an important function I wanted to make sure works in whichever I get.
I don't use my iPod, but have all my music on USB, it is no problem to play that and still use AA, just swap modes using the mode button.

Yup. HU=4100NEX

Actually a lot of dual zone head unit can achieve that, you may search Pumpkin Andorid car stereo, they sell a range of devices that runs Andorid system. I used one of the unit in my car for now, and everything runs good!
I'm using a Moto 6+ (Android 8.1) against a Kenwood DDX9704S head unit. This has been working well for a couple of years. This weekend it quit starting. I cleared the settings in the Kenwood, I have cleared cache and data as well as completely deleting and reinstalling Android Auto. I have also tried 3 or 4 different USB cables. Version shows as 4.5.592853-release.
On the head unit, when I plug into USB, I get a message that I need to accept the terms on the Android app. On the phone, Google Assistant starts amd when I choose "continue" Android Auto does automatically start. Bluetooth phone calls are working but Spotify over Bluetooth does not. Pressing the app button on the Kenwood does nothing.
I'm stumped - any suggestions?
