Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is a Z2 issue or a wider Android issue because this is my first Android phone since jumping from iOS.
I've had this phone about a year, and I love it, but one thing really annoys me. If I play some music over bluetooth to my car, it works fine, but if I stop the music when I get out of the car, and then go back to the car a bit later I can't just hit play on the bluetooth adaptor to get it to carry on playing. I need to get the phone out and reopen the app and play from there.
This is the same with whatever audio app I use. Google Music, Audible, Pocket Casts etc.
On iOS, I could stop a podcast on Friday when I got out my car, and then on Monday morning hit play and it would just carry on where it left off.
Is there any way to do this on Andoird? A setting? An app? It's a small thing, but it's literally the ONLY think I like less on this phone than my old iPhone. I waited for the Lollipop update because I hoped this would sort it, but no luck.
Thanks in advance!

So my wife has the rezound and since the ICS update she says it seems like a new phone and loves it even better. just a note for those that are hating the ICS update.
But ......
there does seem to be a little bug that has been effecting it lately she says that music plays randomly out of the blue for no reason. It just starts playing for no reason whatsoever anybody else have this issue ?????
Is she hitting the button on her headphones?
slightly similar issue, I was listening to music via Google Play Music the other day, and after more than an hour of music, it would just start switching to the next song... then again.. and again until it was like every second haha. I messed with my volume hard keys (hold to skip song enabled), and with my beats hard controls and nothing ... later rebooted/fix permissions and it happens no longer. Try that perhaps, no?
bluetooth range
she must have came in and out of bluetooth range
Check to see if any of the songs on her phone is copy protected.
any song that ended with .m4p makes my phone go insane and just play random songs even if didn't touch the phone at all.
No
No she doesnt even play music on it. No headphones she gave them to her daughter when she got the phone. no music widgets the phone can be sitting idle and randomly play music. The only music she is connected to is my google music account but i dont even think any of it is synced to her phone she doesn't play music on it
So I've noticed something about my G3 that I haven't been able to solve just yet. In my car (2014 Scion FR-S), when I start up and the car connects to my phone over Bluetooth, the music player will start up. I don't have any music on my device yet so it doesn't play anything, but the app starts.
I did some reading and found that it might be Google Play Music related so I froze that app in TiBU. However, now the default "Music" app starts up in its place.
Further compounding the weirdness is that it doesn't do this in our other car, a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited. It just connects - doesn't do anything weird, start any apps, etc.
The FR-S display audio is pretty barebones. The only option I found in there that I thought might affect things was the manner of BT connection (vehicle or phone initiated) but it didn't change anything (switching that to phone, the phone would just no longer connect). Obviously I could disable the Media Player portion of the Bluetooth profile in the car and it would just connect as a phone, and I may end up doing that since I rarely listen to music on my phone (or at all) when I'm in my car.
Anyone have any ideas on how to stop this?
This might be your head unit. I have an aftermarket Sony unit that on key off causes the phone to start playing music again instead of stopping or pausing. No issues with other head units in my other vehicles.
I was hoping someone would have a solution for this .. I ahve been searching for the longest while for a fix ... anyone have any idea what we can try to fix this ?
My wife's G2 does this in our 2014 Prius. It does have some demo music it came with, some classical stuff, and it plays it ! Very annoying. We could never figure out any way to get it to not do it, so we removed her connection to the car's Bluetooth altogether. That stopped it.
My G3 acts really strange around the Prius so I generally just use one of my other phones in it. The MotoG works fine with exceptional audio quality, and the N4, N5, and N7 all work as expected.
I use poweramp and that never happens
I checked yesterday and my G3 auto started Play Music as soon as I Bluetooth linked it to my Prius just like my wife's G2 does, except different player. Bad LG ! Don't do stuff I don't tell you to do !
I suspect this has to do with the head unit rather than the phone. My G3, Moto X, RAZR HD, and RAZR M, all auto start music in my 2011 Avalon.
OK. I have the oddest problem I'm hoping people can help me with, though I don't hold much hope.
Recently my UConnect stopped recognizing on the display when the track changed in Google Play Music from my Galaxy Note 3. The next track does start playing over BT, but the UConnect keeps showing the previous track info and progress bar. I never had issues before.
Phone recently got a software update so it could be on the phone side. It works fine with other music players on my phone though. Maybe a Google Play Music update broke it. However, on my BT connection to my home theater stereo, it properly updates the track info, so it's something between my phone and UConnect.
Here's the odd part that makes it hard to pin it to either the phone or the car specifically:
Track gets updated on my smartwatch via BT just fine.
Track gets updated on my home theater stereo over BT as normal.
Steering wheel buttons advance track forward (full control over music), and new track starts playing, but doesn't update track on screen.
Track gets updated on display if you click backwards to previous track, just not forwards either manually or automatically at end of previous track.
UConnect display gets updated automatically while playing tracks if you use a mixed playlist with different artists. If it's the same album by same artist it does not change track on display.
If I switch to a different audio source and back, it shows the correct song on the display, but it will not switch to next one automatically when playing an album.
Track displayed gets updated properly with other music players, just not Google Play Music.
Used to work before, but recently received Galaxy Note 3 4.4.4 AT&T firmware and also Google Play Music updates.
Tried repairing phone to car, but no luck. It's a UConnect 8.4A with latest firmware.
Did you ever have success in finding a solution for this? I recently bought a new Dodge Dart with the same system in it and it pairs fine with my OnePlus One, but it doesn't sync ANY of the track information. It just says "OnePlus One" where the title of the song would be. I figured maybe our problems would be related, but I could be wrong.
Similar thing with my new Jeep. I have the latest update 11.17.11 I think it is. There is no track info at all on the display. On top of that when I start a song it loops the first 2 seconds or so about 3 times before it plays. There also seems to be a disconnect between the play button.
I stream all my music however, so maybe that's a problem with the files not being on my phone.
Hello all,
I'm experimenting some issues with my OPX while listening to music in Bluetooth.
I have the last update and I use Play Mauic.
1) When i am at the middle of the song and I connect for example, the song starts again on the Bluetooth device whereas on my phone it still display the middle of the song. Like 2:13/3:26 for example. It isn't a big issue but maybe it's linked to the others.
2) randomly, when a song is automatically skipped to the next one, because it has ended, again my player shows that the next song is playing whereas I can't hear anything or sometimes it stutters A LOT, like I can hear one second for each 10 seconds. To fix if I just have to click on "previous" so the song start again and it works flawlessly. This issue happens very often.
Is it a known issue? Is there a fix? I've never seen this kind of issue with other devices ao I'm sure it's because of the OPX.
Thank you.
I got the same issue. It is very annoying. You can also make the title play again by moving the progress slider a little bit back or forward. It happens also with other music players.
Someone answered on my G+ post it happens with headphone jack too. I haven't tried it tho.
I got this problem with my Sennheiser MM100 as well as on my Bose Soundlink 2.
I have also a mini sound link 2.
Buy with my cans it doesn't happen (through jack)
If it's a common problem, let's hope we'll get a fix soon.
I find it crazy that even now there is no fix. It's getting really annoying and 1+ is doing nothing, as well as for the shutters in video playback (on YouTube or Facebook). I'm definitely disappointed and thinking about selling my phone. Did anyone find a fix?
I'm using BlackPlayer, no issues with blueooth playback stutter. Issue 1) is no problem for me, I want to hear the song from start.
No random skips or stutter.

I'm sorry but I don't care the way I should use my phone, I use it as I wish and as I've always done, it's not to OnePlus to dictate me how to use my phone. It's good if you don't care but I do. I don't want to change my habits. However you didn't my problem, it's not about random skips, it just that sometimes there's no more sounds which are casted, so it's a real issue, it's not about the starting over.
Listening to music through bluetooth is just a pain, and the phone is out for months, OnePlus did nothing. That's sad.
I'm on OOS 2.1.3-x and I use Double twist player with no problem over bluetooth. So maybe the problem is Play music

I've never had your 'no more sounds which are casted' issue experince through bluetooth. Are you full stock?
Bluetooth issues
OnePlus 2 is a pretty decent phone, offering good build quality and performance for a reasonable price.
Turn the Bluetooth off and then turn it on back again.
Clear the Bluetooth cache by going to its Settings.
Restart the phone once you have cleared the cache.
Try deleting the old and unused connections and then set up the connection all over again.
Someone tryed Bluetooth playback with the newest 2.2.1 update yet?
Last week Thursday I went back from cm13 to OOS since 2.2.0x "fixed Bluetooth". Well guess what. It didn't. Still the same problem that the next song in line gets mutet after a while of playing music through Bluetooth on my MM100 or Bose Soundlink 2.
Some things I realise:
-Poweramp don't have this issues on OOS since it handles music in an other way. So this might be a workaround for people.
-Play Music or Shuttle+ don't work nice with OOS (I needed to switch songs 27 times in order to make it play again in 6h of playing. That's ridiculous)
-back on CM13 based ROM(and CM13 self) I don't have this kind of problems. Play Music works as it should (guess Shuttle too).
Would be nice to hear if the 250mb big update fixed this bug so I can go back to Stock since I kind of like it.

Hi,
Listening music on my USB/Bluetooth speaker is working like a charm but listening music on my Bluetooth car is impossible (like importing contact and calling)
OK, so maybe I'm going a bit doolally here so go easy on me.
I had an issue with my freebuds yesterday, no sound from the left ear, which seems to be a regular issue. Anyway a reset sorted them out. But in the meantime, I unpaired them and turned my phone off. When I did this, a song stared playing (some girl singing). The buds weren't in their case at the time and haven't been paired with any other device. When I restarted my phone and paired the buds again, the song stopped playing. Unpaired them again and the song started playing again.
As Halloween is just a few days away, I'm hoping that there is a demo song file programmed into the phones or case. Otherwise, I'm calling a priest in.
There are a couple of songs pre-loaded on the phone, they're not in user storage but I vaguely remember being able to delete them with the phone's file browser.
