Hi,
Another question:
I have BT in my car. I also have car charger.
When I connect phone to car's BT and start to charge the phone, music starts to play through BT from phone.
How can i disable this automatic turn on of music player on phone?
Tell us something more!
Which musicplayer are you using!
Is there StockROM on your device?
Are you using apps to manage BT-connections?
...
Yeah, sorry, forgot to copy paste this:
I'm running 2.3.5 VoiduS 3D v1a [PROXUSER] with Sense 3.0.
Application is standard music player, nothing fancy from my side.
As far as i know, i dont have any apps managing my BT..
Needed some time to find that ROM, a little bit old one! You havent got updates this year
May a try on a ROM with regular updates would make sense?
But now to your problem:
I never used that ROM, so standardplayer there is HTC-musicplayer i can see on proxusers thread?!
I can't find any options in standardplayer where to choose an option to start music automatically after connecting to BT-device!
Following settings i find on Stock-Sense-ROM, so on yours it could be a bit different:
In "settings/wireless&networks/BT-settings/bluetooth devices" you can find paired devices!
Hold the device of your car, a popup will apear. Choose "options". Untick "media".
May it helps. Otherwise there also could be an option on your car's device which you'll have to tick/untick!?
Hmm, this MOD was only one that didnt explicitly demanded full wipe of my phone.
need to look into new MODs, I'm just too lazy to set up phone from the scratch again, since i already have all the settings i want set up.
As far as cars BT settings are concerned, i just tested removing paired device from car BT system and re-adding it with only phone function, but once i save it it automatically adds music function too. I guess phone demands a music function :S

Hey all - tried to search for this but didn't find anything... I have a Kenwood car stereo that plays iphone via usb port, but I wasn't able to see how to get it to work by seeing the SR as a media device. On my captivate, you could choose 'media player' as a usb mode, but that wouldn't work either. Any ideas? I like the idea of playing music while being able to charge the phone at the same time. It does charge off of the deck via usb, but just can't get it to find the music on the SR.
That is such a coincidence, I just put in probably the same (or similar) Kenwood stereo into my car (KDC-248U). I was looking around on the website and under the KDC-252U they list an Android app "Kenwood Music Control" it's in the Market. I am going to give that a try later today.
*** EDIT
Apparently the app analyzes your music or something and then puts a file on your device to make it readable, worth looking into.

Nice call! You have to have the music on the external SD though, in case anyone else has a problem getting it running Then choose 'auto output' in preferences. Also appears that the program stays active all the time... which I'm not crazy about, but it does work!

That's great news! I gave it the ol college try but came up empty. Maybe you can help me out.
First what model stereo do you have and second, how do you store your media on your external SD , in a folder "music" or under a second level folder? Lastly, how did you get it to recognize did you plug it in and quickly choose USB storage or did you plug it in, choose USB storage and then cycle sources till you landed back on USB?

So I've been playing around with it and now I can get it to play all the time. First plug USB into phone then into Head unit. When head switches to "Reading" change source to something else (Radio, Portable, etc.). Now enable USB storage and open Kenwood App, while doing this switch to "USB" on the source and it will play.
Now I am having lots of issues getting new music to read, I have tried manually analyzing to no such luck. What options do you have on? I noticed that at one time on reboot it re-did the scan.
It's not very elegant but it works. I wish I didn't have to use an app running all the time.

I first scanned the music so it was all recognized by the app. Plug it in, and while the stereo is showing 'reading's then turn on the PC storage (and assuming you have auto output enabled). Then it worked. Clunky, but better than nothing for linger car trips. My stereo is the x695 excelon deck.

Kenwood Music Editor Light
After playing around a bit it seems really clunky and I don't like the idea of the app running all the time. However I did find a solution, the Kenwood Music Editor (Light Edition).
http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/music_editor_light/english/download.html
You are still limited to music on your external SD card but it does not require the Kenwood app to be running or present to work. It was meant to make music playable on any USB device so it can be used for flash cards as well if you are having issues reading them. You plug your device into a computer (Windows only) and then run a scan and you should be good to go.
After doing this it's the same situation to play for me, plug in and turn on USB storage (it takes long for my phone to get into USB storage so that is why I have to cycle the Sources after it's connected to get the stereo to play). It remembers track position and everything.

newer car-stereos usualy suport any file when you put the phone in "storage-device"-mode.
im looking to get controll over the phone from my stereo, yther use the player in the phone or spotify. works great whit an iphone, but cant find any solution to get the same controll from my htc desire hd...
im guessing its not the stereo itself but the phones software thats the problem, not allowing audio out or controlls in from the microUSB
id love a solution to this though

I've touched on this question before but I may have been using some wrong terminology.
On my S3 I have successfully created a BT pairing with a BT Audio Device use which has a steroe out fed into my car's head unit's Aux In.
So, it is Auto-Paired. That is, when I step into my car and turn on the ignition thus powering up the BT Audio Device the paring is available to be used for Media Audio.
However, in order for my phone to route audio to the BT Audio Device I must enter the phone's BT menu and tell the phone to connect to the Device for Media Audio.
I can either do this through the notification pane to see pairings then tap the pairing to use for Media Audio or I can go through settings->BT and do the same thing.
Either way, it's a huge PITA to do this every single time I get into my car.
There has got to be a way to have the phone automatically route Media Audio through this BT Audio Device upon detection. My previous two phones had nowhere near the ability of my S3 but they had no issues whatsoever with automatically pairing and routing audio to this BT Audio Device.
Is the S3 really this stunted in the BT department? If so, is there an app that fixes this stupidity with grace and non-intrusiveness?

I feel ya, in the past, all I had to do was toggle BT on and go, now there's two or three extra steps which almost defeats the use of a toggle.
I just started searching for some answers and am honestly surprised no one else has made a big deal about this. If I find something, I'll post it up... For now, going to take a look at some system files and build.prop stuff, but it's not really my department.
Got some NFC tags and NFC Task Launcher hoping I could circumvent the BS with a hardware hack. But no, the best this does is auto toggle the BT radio and open the device selection screen where 2 more taps are required to actually use the device for media audio. Any new insight out there? Considering Tasker app but it is rather expensive and no free version to see if it does the trick.
My Bluetooth Auto Corrects Just fine to my cars Bluetooth... Toggle on and go. Running AOKP currently but it worked properly on stock, stock rooted, and Synergy as well.
I haven't gotten a chance to try this yet but I probably will tomorrow.
Tasker forum post indicating the problem is well known, prevalent and hardly any fixes exist:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/tasker/bluetooth$20audio/tasker/TLsjT9Exle8/ZLlgvEn5vUUJ
An app that forces the connection amongst other things:

A Tasker plugin leveraging the force connect code which happens to be GPL'd in case any of our fine developers would like to start making ROMs that address this major drawback of using a S3:

I haven't had any trouble with bluetooth devices reconnecting to my phone as soon as I power them on. I'm running cyanogenmod 10 rom.

It seems the issue may be primarily with BT Audio Gateways. I don't have this issue with my laptop at all and I'm imagining car head units rarely see this problem.
That said A2DP Volume App fixed this issue for me. Once configured I did have to manually set the device to use media audio one last time before A2DP Volume started doing it for me. I configured NFC Task Launcher to kill wifi, enable BT and launch A2DP volume when it contacts the tag in my car and it works perfectly. Since NFC Task Launcher front ends into Tasker and Tasker has the A2DP force connect plugin available I'm seriously considering getting Tasker for all the other cool features it can do besides scratching this particular itch.

You can fix this relatively easy by getting the app Tasker. I use it to do things like automatically start the music player I want when headphones are plugged in, to turning up the brightness automatically when I am getting an incoming call, etc. I am fairly certain you could set up the program to do whatever you want via bluetooth if you fiddle with it.
Gluck!

LOL, if you had only read the rest of the thread...
Yeah, Tasker cannot do this OTB but with the A2DP Connect Plugin it can. Or you can just run the A2DP Volume app and do the same for free.
That the A2DP Connect code is GPL it would be super sweet if our developers incorporated the magic into the ROMs so that a base install didn't need apps to do something so simple as automatically route media audio to BT gateways.
This happens to me when I use the wrong settings in my cars head unit. My Toyota gives me the option to pair as a multimedia device, a phone or both. If you set it up as just a multimedia device then you won't have some functionality. Check your head unit manual and try to re-pair. You might have to delete the existing pairing for it to work right.

Yeah, it's not a head unit, it's an audio gateway that basically is just a BT receiver with a stereo out and no interface so it is what it is with no configuration options. This issue with the S3 appears to be primarily related to these types of devices.

Oh okay. When I look under the bluetooth menu in CM10 I have a paired connection that I named Car Multi-Media and if I look at its settings I see profiles called Phone audio and Media audio. I'm guessing you just have a Media audio profile. Not sure how to help you there. Sorry.
I'm not sure whether or not this has to do with the rom I am using (Tweaked 3.1) but i've noticed that every single time i'm in my car and turn on the bluetooth...my music just starts automatically playing from Play Music. It was opened in the background or anything either...as soon as bluetooth gets turned on it just starts which is really annoying if actually want to talk to people with my phone...I looked through all the settings for play music, bluetooth, android, tweaked and everywhere on my phone but couldnt figure out for the life of me how to disable that from happening. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

do you want it NOT play at all, or just not autoplay? there is a setting within the bluetooth menu to disable media connection.
are you using an app for your bluetooth connection? for example, I use vlingo, and each time my phone connects via bluetooth, that app is set by default to launch.
Just dont want it to automatically start playing when I turn on bluetooth. I use HeyTell a lot for talking to people so id rather manually open Play Music and start playing songs myself if so desire later on. I figured there has to be an autostart option somewhere but i cant find it. I actually also cannot find that setting to disable the media connection in a bluetooth menu...where might that be?
Not using an app for bluetooth, just turning it on through the settings in Android on my Charge. Not sure if it makes a difference that im rooted using Tweaked 3.1?

first, I would try clearing defaults in Play Music.
secondly, to adjust the media output, once you have a bluetooth connection, go into your bluetooth settings and long press your paired device - then select options - from there you can adjust the media connection.
as for me, I leave BT on all the time (doesn't cause significant battery drain while being on an unpaired in my experience).
Cleared the defaults in Play Music and checked the settings when i long pressed on my paired Mazda. I tried just turning off the media connection but then I couldnt do the other things I wanted. I didnt see any other settings for it either anywhere. I'm wondering if it has to do with my Mazda auto starting the music maybe? Or is that not possible... I suppose I can just try leaving bluetooth on if theres not going to be much battery drain...but lately ive experiencing lots of battery drain about 6-7% an hour without me even touching it.

What about the in-car app? Otherwise, try downloading a Bluetooth app like vlingo (free). And then see what happens when the phone makes the connection to your car. You should get one of those default app menus.
tappin' that....
Cool I will give that a try, thanks for the help!

The App "Media Button Router" is the answer! Open Source and free.
An amazing One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:
Bluetooth Pair
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair
found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.
Example Use Case:
I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)
I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.
Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.
Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.
Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.
Takes a long time.
With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.
So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.
1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone
2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet
Two taps!
Would you mind sharing a code snippet on how you achieve this? I've been working on a little program that I intend to use around the house and this is the missing piece that I can't figure out. Basically, I have some NFC tags spread around the house and a receiver app that triggers various actions. One of them enables bluetooth on my device (if off), turns on my home audio receiver (over telnet), connects to the receiver's A2DP device (this is the missing piece), and launches a music app.
I've seen examples where this works using an AIDL method, but from what I've gathered this no longer works under Android 4.2. Does your app work on 4.2? Any hints you can provide?
Thanks!

You could try contacting them via the email listed on Google Play.
BTW, while you're making your app, please dedicate a thread to it on XDA so we can all beta test and buy it later!

Oh, OK. I just assumed this was your app.
After reading the Play Store description more carefully, I don't think this app actually does what I'm trying to do (programmatically establish an A2DP connection). It appears this app enables / disables certain profiles but the actual connection is still handled by the OS.
As far as the app I'm making, I was intending it to just be something for personal use. I'm planning on keeping it very lightweight and tailored specifically to my needs. For it to be used by anyone else they would have to have the same brand of A/V receiver as me (Pioneer) that supports the same telnet commands. Most of the rest of the functionality of the app can be duplicated by using some of the existing NFC apps like NFC Task Launcher. If I ever develop it into something interesting that could be used by a wider audience I probably will post it on XDA for feedback though.
Every time I connect A2DP in my car it launches the music app. Can't find anywhere to disable this annoying behavior.
It might be under the app Smart Connect.
no, those are things you set up. I have no actions set for such behavior.
I don't think it's the phone that take this decision. I think it's rather the bluetooth device that send the "play music" command that open the music app on the phone.
its not Sony, i dont have such issue with my BT devices, including one that is a BT speaker. If you claim its not smart connect, you might want to check other apps similar to smart connect or the BT device/'s app. If possible, also clear the BT device's app data or at least reinstall it.
if you cannot identify the root of the problem i would advise you to do a fresh start for the phone. do a comparison with the BT device's app and without the app.
