Disable stock music player or stop its auto lauch on BT? - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Hi all. Love the 10 Pro!!!
Not so good is that I can't remove or disable the stock music player (music).
I use Pulsar but when I connect my Sony wh-1000xm2 through BT it automatically launches the horrible huawei music app and starts playing.
Any ideas how to get around that?

Try this, it helped out in my case.
in apps, select Music then select permissions and remove storage permission.

Tried it, it still starts sometimes PLUS I just noticed that storage permission was back on. How strange is that, EMUI overwrites user settings?

Unfortunately, even though storage permission is OFF, the app still launches and plays when the phone connects to BT in the car.
Any other ideas, anybody?

Try this one...
In settings, go to battery, tap on Launch, scroll down to Music and disable , you'll get a popup with three options, disable all three.

I know it's not really resolution, but try changing default app for Music. Just search "Default app settings" in settings.

OP here.
I may have solved this.
In settings-apps I disabled all music permissions and then deleted cache and all data. Then I set Pulsar to my default music app.
Now Music no longer shows in battery-launch anymore so I guess it is effectively disabled.
Fot me this is OK now.

In combination with this problem, I can't even set spotify or Amazon music player as default, it's not even on the list, any ideas?

Thanks bro. Nailed it to the heart. Works for honor 9 lite.
:good:

Just got myself a P20, I too am experiencing this same issue, followed all the steps above and when connecting to BTU in car still launches default player even though I have set PI Music to default. Is there not a way to remove the default app permanently using "Tool all in one software " ?

headphones detected. Phone microphone enabled

Is there anyway to disable this highly annoying message that comes up everytime I plug in my headphones?
I'm using these headphones if it makes any difference.
http://en-de.sennheiser.com/cx-270
Also not rooted but prepared to root if needed.
I've got a pair of senheisers as well, can't remember the model (don't have them with me) and i get the same thing, but i have no mic on them. I'm using a pair of u beats from the htc one s series, mic built in but this message isn't displayed when i connect them.
Sent from my LT26i
Yeah mine has no mic on it either. I have tasker set up to ask me if I want to activate wave control when I plug in my headphones.
This pop up makes it impossible to press the activate wave control option that I have set up.
Im gonna try and figure out how to remove the message
I too have the same problem with my Beats Studios, and if anyone finds a fix let me know!

There doesn't seem to be any setting in Liveware Manager to let you adjust or turn off this notification.
I just frozen "Unsupported Headset Notifier" and that notification is gone.
It's not disable-able in setting so maybe you need to root your phone.

I tried freezing it as well, but I still get the notification.
EDIT: I just needed to reboot the phone. Now the notification is gone. Thanks!
It seems, this is not a problem. Sony just want to sell more headsets. . .

This has nothing to do with Sony trying to sell more headsets. The notification only notifies the user if they connected with or without a microphone, so they know which microphone is going to be used.
The only reason some people want to get rid of the notification is because it can get quite annoying at times. For instance, when I connect the headphones, I set up Tasker to show me a menu where I can choose if I want to run either Walkman, MX Player or YouTube. With the notification enabled, I have to wait a second or two first before I can press OK, and only then I can choose the app I want to run.

Auto start of music player Bluetooth

Is there a way to disable the auto start feature on the music player when it connects to Bluetooth in my car. It connects and starts playing in the background even when I am not using it.

Yes, go to settings->Bluetooth-> press on settings for paired device you don't want to auto start -> remove check mark from media.

i don't think what you are saying is quite the answer OP was looking for, but I'm not sure. i think the answer is this:
download "Media Button Router" from Google Play, it has options to ignore Bluetooth button presses. please hit thanks button

The auto start isn't coming from Android. It's a " feature not a bug" annoying as hell behavior coming from a lot of head units in new cars. Toyota head units are notorious for this. The app I mentioned turns a lot of that behavior off but it's not perfect. Hopefully the app author updates the software someday to just ignore the first button press signal on reconnect, or someone else writes an app to do just that, but it works well enough now.

I had the same exact problem when i would get in my Ford Escape with Sync! It would start by itself! Then directions I listed will allow you to still to connect and use your phone for ALL functions, Including playing music when YOU want too! Music play just will not start by itself!
Settings--->bluetooth--->press gear (settings) for paired device you want to stop media auto play for--->remove check mark from Media audio. Make sure you still have a check mark in Phone audio!
Your phone will now connect to car but not start media player!
same problem

Problem: I cant uncheck the profile Media Audio:
I am trying in Bluetooth settings in Car Multi-media device to uncheck Media audio, when I press it says connecting, does that mean I have to to this step while in the car?
then again as per your answer just checking, if i open an email with an attachment or open a file Music Play, will it automatically connect to the BT?
thanks for your help

I am the developer of Bluetooth Connect & Play (this forum won't allow me to post a link, search for me in the store) . I may have a way to help you. Email me (my email is on the linked App's store listing) if you'd like to beta test this. I don't know if it fully works, but looking for people to test.

[Q] Annoying automatic play when bluetooth is connected

Whenever I connect my phone to the bluetooth of my car, Poweramp player starts playing some random audio files that it can find on the phone. And typically would not shut up until I explicitly turn it off. The same was happening with my old phone (Droid Incredible) although not sure if it was the same application or some other player.
Is such a behaviour application-specific or is there some global way to prevent any programs from starting up automatically when bluetooth is connected?
At first glance I do not see that in Poweramp settings such a behaviour is configured or that there is a way to disallow it.

There is an option under Poweramp settings for "Resume on Headset Connect" and "Resume on BT A2DP Connect". Both under the headset menu in settings. Have you checked those to see if one might be causing it?

Both options are unchecked and if I read correctly they should be unchecked if I do not want automatic play.
I'll try to check them and see if it helps.

That's why I think there should be some global solution not specific to any application.
Perhaps, one can somewhere choose which application fires up when bluetooth is connected?
At first glance I do not see such an option in bluetooth configuration...
does anyone have a solution on this yet?
Try this:
1) Download Greenify (free).
2) Add the app(s) that automatically start to Greenify.
3) Test.
Greenify puts apps into a "hibernate" mode that disallow it from running in the background until you manually click on them to open. This is meant to help your phone by saving battery that those apps would use, but I could see it being helpful in your situation as well.

Eventually I used a hammer: I have frozen the offending application in Titanium Backup and it no longer bothers me when the phone connects to bluetooth. Of course, the downside is that I cannot use this application at all now but it was so annoying...
Before that I tried to use llama to kill the application automatically when connecting to bluetooth but that worked only in about 20% of cases.

Just tried Greenify. The free version does not "greenify" system application like google music and apparently I was wrong that it was poweramp. I have not tried the paid version yet, not sure if it is worth buying. Back to the hammer solution for now.
I'm fairly sure the "donation" version is the same.
If you're willing to pay for a great app with many uses, then buy Titanium Backup and use their Freeze function to stop Google Music.
My CAR does this. There is a setting in the bluetooth menu of my car called "Auto Play." When turned on, the car will start playing music when I get in the car, when off, I have to manually turn on music.

The free version of Greenify claims that greenifying system applications is an experimental feature of the donation version. I have not tried the donation version though.

I found this at pioloteers.org (Honda piolot forum):
"I have Samsung Galaxy and from what I read on the net it's a big annoyance for a lot of people. It isn't Pilot related, but is frustrating for a lot of folks nevertheless. The solution is to disable auto play on the phone as hollowpoints suggested. Unfortunately, not all android audio players have this setting. The one which I use – PowerAmp – does have it and I was able to disable it. After that Android stock player started auto-playing and you can't disable the auto play on it, so I had to uninstall it. Now the problem is solved."
I have a 2012 MB GL350 and the option is in the media interface settings.

Bluetooth media problem : please help

Hi guys,
I have a bluetooth related issue : when I connect to BT (my car BT system for example) the Huawei "Music" automatically starts and plays some crappy music.
This plays over Waze etc. and is extremely annoying.
I have tried to disable "Music" but no matter what I do EMUI overwrites my settings and grants access to "folders" etc.
I have done pretty much everything and "Music" automatically start once I am connected to BT and I try to use it for navigation etc.
Is there a way to perm disable Huaweis stupid "Music" app? I tried to set "Google Music" to default, but no luck : "Music" still starts and plays some strange tune I can not even find on the phone. (a tune thats title starts with something "Dream...."
Please help, I am going nuts ! Thanks.

If you want to stop playing music, you need to clean up the music APP on the phone side. If you want to play music with other music apps, you need to clear Huawei Music App (whether it is playing or not) on the mobile phone side and open other apps to play.

Dolby Atmos EQ keeps turning off

Why does my Dolby Atmos app keep turning off everytime I switch/exit to another app, even though the EQ is still on (with Spotify playing in the background). I have to turn on and off to hear the difference and it is so noticeable. It's like trying to force me to stay on the app in order for it to work, when it normally wasn't like this before. I even tried restarting my phone still no luck, uninstalling/reinstalling the module. Still no luck.
It even turns off when I swipe down for my quick settings/widgets gestures, this is actually annoying af. I don't know what's triggered this bug but it defiantly wasn't like this before.
Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it. My device is the OnePlus 5T with Android 9
At least VIPER stays on.

It could be conflicting with viper, does it work on its own?
If so this might solve your problem

You use DA as standalone app or as Android's default equalizer?
To make DA Android's default equalizer
1. Install Google Play Music app, if not done yet.
2. Open the Google Play Music app and tap on the three lines on the left top corner of the Google Play Music app.
3. Click on Settings -> Equalizer. You will see Dolby Atmos options there.
4. Enable the Dolby Atmos check box.

Using it as a standalone app/module from magisk. Having followed your instructions, it leads my to Viper.

Annoyingly no. The only way for it to work is if I stay on the app and do nothing. If I exit the app or scroll down to see my notifications the EQ stops and then I have to turn it on/off for it to work again.
**EDIT** So it seems as though uninstalling Viper has fixed the issue. But now I'm thinking, so there's no way for both apps to run at the same time...
@FP__96
This module should be able to use dolby and the v4a codec from viper at the same time.
