Just trying to find out if anyone else has these issues yet.
Phone Reboots frequently
Mic Will not detect voice when car is moving
Applications that don’t flip to landscape:
Phone
Contact List
Home Sceen (can be fixed with 3rd party launcher)
Some applications will cause the screen to lock after a while
When calls end it goes to call log not back to Dock application
No night mode for navigation
Screen Will Shut off in dock app causing you to have to touch it an extra time to wake it before issuing a voice command

It sounds like your complaints are software related? I wouldn't consider this a problem with the dock.

I have a problem with my mic picking up the sound of my car. I believe its the combination of my aftermarket intake, as well as my aftermarket exhaust. Both make it difficult to have a conversation on the phone in general.
Id love night mode for navigation for sure!!!

Well its the mic on the Doc, I have a Stock Scion XB so its the road noise I am assuming. I have found quite a few posts about the random restarts also. I restored my phone today and will See if it helps with the restarts.
except for the restarting the are all software/feature issues. But they are only Problems when in the car Dock.
I've just started using my car dock for my nexus and I am really disappointed with the car dock app. There is a second screen with empty spaces but no way to add shortcuts.
And I would expect there to be car versions of apps like messaging, contacts, and phone.
Having to answer a call in the car by sliding the answer button is not very safe. We should be able to just click one big button.
I am getting into android development, what would be involved in modifying the app/ creating car versions of the the apps mentioned above. Is it doable?
No offense, but your logic is flawed. Answering any call, looking at any texts, or doing anything at all with your phone while driving is not safe, period.
But if you are really that desperate for a customizable car home, check the market out fo Custom Car Home and Car Dock v2. Both of these will do exactly what you are looking for.
Well yes its not safe, but isnt that the point of a car dock/app? To make these actions safer to do while driving, handsfree?
I have checked out those apps, but they don't quite have the same polish in terms of interface as the Car Home app, and only really accomplish the shortcut issue. Not the issue of actions like answering a call, picking a contact not being suitable for in car.
So as most people know, the spotify app for android is pretty terrible. I've been trying to get it to work as the automatic player when I start my car. I use NFC Task Launcher so it opens spotify when my car bluetooth is connected and the last problem is that spotify opens to that stupid choose your playlist menu and the play command does nothing on that screen.
Does anyone know of a way to make spotify open to a playlist so the play command works and I don't need to pull me phone out every time?
I also have similar problems. I don't care to pull my phone to start the Spotify. But the problem that I have is that it gets interrupted and distorted randomly. When this happens, I have to either wait for the music to come back or I have to push on the power button, then wait few seconds(problem is sometimes it never comes back). I don't know if it is the bluetooth of my receiver or N4 in general, because I had my n4 rma'd and still same problem with the new one. I didn't have any bluetooth problems with my gs3 at all. I have a clarion cx501 on my car, any input to solve this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

My Galaxy S6 keeps randomly pausing music playback while I have it connected to the aux input in my car for no apparent reason. Phone is rooted on the stock AT&T Rom and has been restored via ODIN twice without any change. It did this before root as well without change. I have disabled nuplayer in the dev settings and tried resyncing my library multiple times thinking it was due to corrupted files. This clearly is a samsung issue and seems to be apparent with older generations of the Galaxy series as well. Does anyone have a fix? I can't imagine the rest of you are actually putting up with this bug on a $600 phone. It's really driving me nuts having to keep fiddling with the damn phone while I'm driving to unpause the music, raise the volume past the warning, just to do it again a few minutes later. Tried the stock music app as well as doubletwist, no changes. Could this be caused by some motion sensing feature that needs to be disabled?
So who here has a fix? Appreciate any tips or solutions. Thanks
I know I'm not the only one. Who knows the fix and wouldn't mind sharing? Thanks
Bump for info
I have a similar issue, as my Bluetooth earphones just stops playing music. The the strange thing is that my other pair of Bluetooth earphones work fine, and I've never had any issue with other Bluetooth media connections (including those in a car). It could be specific to your car.
I'm using Google Play Music.
Have you tried it with another system?

Do you guys happen to have the music pause gesture? Had this problem with the note 3 where video seems like it was lagging really bad but it was actually pausing and unpausing because of smart stay. Turned it off and it was perfect. It's probably a screen protector messing with the sensors for the gesture.

I faced this too.
This happened when i play music directly from the Widget. However if i open the app and play music, it didnt stop.
Hope this helps.
Blame the ****ty memory management that keeps killing apps.

OP, are you saying that when it pauses, it also resets the volume warning? Or was that just additional annoyance?
^^Combination of both. When playing music on the device via aux in my car, I have the phone set to max volume, then control volume output via my car. When using the stock music app, doubletwist, etc, the music will randomly pause playback for no reason while the screen is off while the phone sits in my lap untouched. Smart stay is off, and I'm running out of ideas honestly. Been listening to Pandora recently and haven't had issues in the past four days, so it's something with music playback for the device only. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
Maybe your cable is loose or has a bad connection on one end or the other? When you unplug headphones, music playback stops. Try using an app like Trigger or Tasker to make something happen on headphone unplug, such as launching a certain app or whatnot so that you'll know if the phone thinks it got unplugged.
Try clearing the cache of the music app ir use Cache Cleaner (downloadable from Playstore) to clean all cache. You can also try going to recovery mode to wipe cache.
Unfortunately I clear cache weekly, and am certain its not a connection issue. Are there additional touch or motion sensor other than the smart stay function (currently disabled) that could be triggering this?
I don't know what to tell you. Using aux is similar to plugging in via headphones and I've had no issues in that regard. I've had no problems with Bluetooth streaming either. In cases like this, it could be app interference or faulty hardware.

Is it only happening when you're using it in your car? What about with headphones or BT audio connections.
Do you have any sound effects enabled? I noticed that SoundAdapt really affected the performance of my phone, so it could be a factor.

I'm almost certain its some kind of gesture that is interfering. I don't use any of them and will gladly disable anything that could remotely cause this. I noticed the other night when my friend was driving my car, I was sitting in the passenger seat with my phone playing music through aux for at least an hour and no pausing whatsoever. I had the phone in my hand the entire time instead of near my leg sitting face up on my seat, which made me realize it must be some lockscreen gesture interfering. Any ideas?
Is the screen actually on? I don't know of any gestures that have an effect while the screen is off other than the one that makes the time display pop up, and I don't think that would cause music to pause.
There's a gesture that mutes if you put your hand over the sensors. Maybe it thinks that is getting tripped? But I don't know if that would cause the music to pause. Maybe try intentionally doing that gesture to see what effect it has?
If you think it's a gesture, just disable all of them and see if the problem clears up, then slowly reenable them to see when it breaks again.

Thanks. I will try that and let you know. I went ahead and disabled all of them. The screen is off btw when this happens.
I think it is because you are playing the music on full volume. I believe that the phone on some songs can't support the power output causing it to pause. Try instead playing it one level less than max. I noticed that this only happens with some songs specifically at max volume. This doesn't happen at a lower volume on these songs.
Galaxy s6 edge and s6 music pause or stop issue fixed
i had the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy s6 edge. music stops or pauses especially when i am using Soundcloud, pandora, Milk music player or Beatport.
but i fixed the issue .
First open the "Smart Manager" app and select battery.
Second select "details" and you should see most of the apps that uses more power.
Select "Cancel Auto stop" on the apps u want will be using especially your music app. if you don't want then to stop after sometime.
Thank you
Hope this solves ur problem
I am having this same problem on my S6 edge. Not rooted (first phone I haven't felt the need to root since the Evo).
It happens whether using connected headphones, bluetooth headphones, or in the car A2DP using the Google Music app, Pandora, or Slacker.
Was hypothesizing that notifications are causing the pauses. Would like to try the suggestion above but WHERE IS THE SMART MANAGER app?
Also, was wondering if anyone with the problem fooled around with the animation scale settings described here: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-s6-tips-and-tricks/4/ (under How to unlock Developer options)? Wondering if that is causing my/our problems.
Thanks,

So I got a new car (2016 "facelift" Kia Ceed 4 Tech)... and whilst OK Google Hotword detection over bluetooth sort of works, the
state of the dialler appears quite broken... and I was hoping if anyone could help.
Nexus 5 running Marshmallow paired to the car with Phone & Media Audio selected.. Google Voice Typing settings set to record audio through headset if available.
1) With screen on, say "Ok Google" wait for phone to respond with the first and then second beeps (I guess the second beep is to
signify the phone is then listening over bluetooth)
2) Say "Call xxxxxx mobile/home" etc.
3) Phone responds and starts dialling. Call is answered and the car Infotainment screen gives a prompt to change to "hands free mode", requiring a manual button press..
Not exactly "hands free behaviour".. Not compared to when I pair my wife's Galaxy Note 4, do exactly the same steps and everything goes through seamlessly with
the car automatically going to bluetooth handsfree without requiring me to press the button on the infotainment screen.
Now if you look at the dialler screen on the Nexus 5 whilst the call is going through, you can see the dropdown to manually choose between "Headset" "Speakerphone" "Bluetooth"
and the "Bluetooth" one is indeed selected but clearly the phone and car aren't handshaking to tell the car to automatically default to handsfree. At this point, you can re-select the bluetooth
option but it doesn't do anything, and the car is still waiting for manual confirmation.
More weirdness is, if you start a voice call with OK Google but actually press the phone button to action the call, then it all works fine...
Both Marshmallow and the car are new, so I'm not hopeful that anyone has an answer but given the Note 4 works perfectly, I'm keeping my fingers crossed..
Looks like a known problem since lollipop for nexus and some other phones.. not fixed in marshmallow either.. not sure what to do..LLC.. wait and see I guess
