[Q] Bluetooth connections - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The problem that I am having is that every time my phone connects to my truck (Ford sync) the music app opens and it starts playing. So I stop it and shut down the music app, but after I hang up from a call it starts back up. The first few days I had it there was no problem cause I didn't have any music on it yet, but now it does.
I have even gone as far as installing ATK and completely stopped that task, just to have it start up again after I hang up from a call.
Also, does anyone know if it is possible to get audio data over bluetooth?
I would like to see what song is playing over bluetooth on my dash.

[Q] bluetooth headphones disconnecting (sorta)

I recently purchased some Nokia BH-505 bluetooth headphones. I like them and I primarily use Pandora to listen to music. I'm having a periodic issue where the headphones sort of disconnect and quit playing music. This only happens when I choose to turn the screen off. If I keep the screen on, I never have any disconnect issue. Pandora is happily still streaming music though, and if I power off the headphones, the phone/pandora realizes that it's no longer connected and starts playing through the speaker of the phone (that's why I say "sort of" disconnecting). If I power the headphones on again, they connect, pandora pauses, then I can resume play and then a short time after the condition happens again (if I turn the screen off). I imagine it's some sort of memory related thing because it seems if I make sure I have no programs running in the background things seem to work as desired. I haven't found any sort of setting to tweak, and neither Pandora or any bluetooth like program is in an autoclose list.
Anyone have any ideas on any workarounds to this issue?

[Q] Stop playing on disconnect

Hi,
Before custom ROMS were built on ICS, when I was listening to streaming music in my car (via bluetooth), the phone would automatically stop playing when the car turned off. Same thing if I'm listening to music and I pull the headphones out, whatever was playing gets paused.
Now, when I turn my car off, the music doesn't stop playing, it just starts playing through the phone's speaker.
So my question is, is it the ROM that makes a player pause on disconnect or is it the actual APP that decides to either stop or keep playing through the speaker.
I know PowerAMP has options to auto play and auto stop on disconnect, but other apps like youtube, Audiostation (for my synology NAS) and a few others don't have settings.

I think the fact that some apps have the option indicates that at very least, the app does have some control over it. I don't know if the ROM/kernel have some default setting built in for apps that don't define it.
It seems to be a feature missing in ICS. I'm hoping it shows up by the final update.
I use Tasker to accomplish the same thing. The whole task for media is when I plug headphones in, it launches a menu with media apps (music, netflix, etc) and turns the media volume up to 6. When disconnected, it mutes media volume, pauses media, and returns to the homescreen.
I'll take a look at that in the interim, all I really need is it just to pause on BT disconnect like it use to. The is already a separate volume setting for BT vs the headphone jack. Thanks for the tip.
That's interesting, I didn't know tasker had something to pause media. I'll definitely give that a try.
I believe that was an AOSP tweak..my Inc running CM7 would pause on bluetooth disconnect.

Disable Bluetooth Autoplay?

Every time I get in my car and the bluetooth connects, the phone decides to automatically start playing the last song I listened to. This is REALLY annoying. Some searching has revealed that this is an ongoing problem with no known solution. Anyone have any ideas?
That's a feature, both my cars do it too. Assuming I left it on Bluetooth input when I got out of the car. This way you don't have to do anything to get the music to start playing. Not sure why you would want it off. For me, I'd hate to take my phone out of my pocket to start the music app.

I have the car dock for my phone which automatically turns bluetooth on when inserted. I really REALLY don't like that as soon as the HTC Car application (which is pretty decent) launches, it immediately starts playing music. I would much rather tell it to start playing music when I feel like it. This HAS to be annoying other people.
It actually annoys me that my car doesn't do this! I have Ford/Microsoft Sync and it used to connect to bluetooth on my phone automatically and play music/pandora but it no longer does this. I have to manually tell it to connect to my phone and switch to BT Media.
Have you tried using tasker or something to stop the music app if it detects it running while connected via bluetooth? There's probably a better solution, but worth a shot if you don't actually use it for music in your car.

AI problems?

Does anyone noticed that the AI makes phone to act unexpected?
For example my bt earbuds, speaker gets connected/disconnected for no reason sometimes .. for example I go to smoke at work, bt speaker stays at workplace, coming back, connecting my phone to speaker, starting to work and suddenly after some time music just stops. I see I'm connected to a speaker in Bluetooth settings, but once I start music again, music is playing thru the phone speaker instead. And I have to reconnect to a speaker again.. and it continues like that till I reboot my phone..
If I plug in fabric earphones which comes with phone, sometimes automatically music is started, sometimes after couple minutes, sometimes never.
Call recording apps/and overall all apps are killed without a reason even excluded from all battery optimations/savers.
Also never knew that I have so many different songs after trying different music player, have anyone noticed that also?
In my case I have about 200 songs in my library, but with default music player, it seemed that I have like 20songs only.. always listening on shuffle mode.

Google Play Music Auto Shuffle on Bluetooth

Has anyone else found their S9 now automatically turns shuffle on when it connects to a BT device?
I have tried a couple of different BT music devices (my truck, DAC, headphones) and every one of them automatically turns on shuffle when it starts playing music.
Example; drove to work listening to music NOT on shuffle. Get in truck for lunch or to go home and phone automatically starts playing music, but shuffle is now turned on.
I've started playing music via the speaker and made sure that shuffle is off, turned truck on, automatically connects... turns on shuffle.
I can plug in a wired device and it's fine.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Yes! I've also found that shuffle will come on at random times after it's connected as well. It's driving me nuts!

I have a note 8 and have this same problem when connecting to my 2016 jeep Cherokee ( Uconnect ) radio
go into the google play music app in the app manager, delete data and cache, relaunch the app
