So no matter what application I'm using on my Radar and how I exit the app, i.e., just pause, back all the way out, etc. the music starts playing again when I turn off my BT headset. I've tried looking through settings to no avail.
bump........

That's odd. Music should automatically stop playing when your bluetooth device is shutoff.
It should not automatically start.
Please describe every detail of what you are doing, connected to, etc. Order and timing might be important.

Starting with phone idle
Turn on Bluetooth headset
Verify it is connected in Settings
Back out and go to a streaming app (has occurred in slacker and metroradio)
Stream music for any given amount of time
Either pause music, pause and back all the way out, just back all the way out, etc.
Shut screen/put in pocket
Turn off bluetooth headset
Music starts playing from phone speaker
Bump - happened again tonight. This time I paused from the lock screen just to test. Paused -> Screen Off -> BT off -> 10 seconds later, music starts
does it happen if you shut bluetooth off before shutting screen off?
Does it happen with Zune as music player ? Also does these apps have any settings for this kind of situation.

I don't use Zune. The only setting in Slacker is if I want Radio to resume automatically when Bluetooth is connected and that is turned off. Metro has nothing.
BUMP.........
You need the app "Stop the Music!
I had the same problem on my Lumia 800 today.. so awkward.....
I was at work and use a Logitech bluetooth docking station, playing music was fine, no problem at all.. I work a shoppingmall and while on my break I went in the another store just next to mine. A really hot girl works there and this lyrics came on highest volume:
"I'm fat, I'm Single, I'm ready to mingle"
here's a youtube link... Never been so embarrassed in my life, I managed to save my ass but only just! A fix would be superb!

I've had the same issue with the background audio from Podcasts! Pro. It doesn't do this with Zune. I'm guessing its an issue with the way the background api is being implemented.
Another thing i've noticed, when it switches to or from BT, the audio picks up from the last point before BT is connected. Example, if I'm listening to an hour long podcast, and I get 23 minutes into it before switching to BT, even when I listen to another 20 minutes of the podcast, it will revert back to the 23min point once BT is disconnected.
Same issue here
Hi,
I'm having the same issue here with a Mercedes B180 built in Handsfree and Lumia 800.
It happens with Wimp, not Spotify.
As a matter of fact music Streaming is not working at all from any app to this HF.
However: BT with my combination is ok for Contact Transfer and Phone functions so it's not a catastrophy, but....
One other thing: When turning ignition off, ongoing calls are disrupted and not returned to the handset...
Nokia Support said that this is a issue caused by them using the Microsoft BT Stack for Music Streaming while probably Mercedes is using some other (Widcomm, Toshiba...)
BTW: I've used iPhone in this scenario and it works fine with all functions.
I have the Soundfly View (BT FM Transmitter) that I want to use with my Optimus V. According to both the phone and the Soundfly, it pairs and connects fine. I can also do calls with it fine.
However, it won't allow me to play music using the Soundfly menu. It always says "BT Not Connected". If I start playing using the phone, I don't get the audio through the Soundfly/FM either.
Any ideas?
After some experimentation, when I pair with the phone, then connect, the phone states "connected to phone and media audio". Afterwards, I can play music via the BT. However, when it disconnects and reconnects (automatically), it only says "connected to phone" and I can no longer play audio. That is, even though within the BT options it has both phone and media audio checked.
Net result - I can play audio, but I have to repair the phone every time.
If anyone knows how to make it reconnect to both automatically, I'd be glad to hear it.
I remember reading a while back that Google Music had added gapless playback support, but it's not working for me (either on my phone or computer, actually). All the digging I've done says if you enable the equalizer it will be fixed, but I can't figure out how to do that at all. Can anyone tell me?

It's also started playing music when it connects to my car stereo much less reliably. I used to get in and a few seconds later I was streaming music. Now, BT connects and a lot of the time it never plays a song at all, other times it will automatically take one but take as long as 5 minutes, and occasionally it will immediately start playing. What's going on here and how do I make it work the way it should?
When I connect to my car (Volvo) with this phone and play music it just says 'streaming' on my car's display.
Usually it showed track number artist time etc..
Any idea why or how to fix?
Tried to switch to 1.3 instead of 1.4 in the settings but no luck.
I don't have phone but I use BT with music, podcast, audiobooks etc streaming to my car. Have you tried a different music player?

I got the phone two days ago, and also have a Volvo, so I know how convenient it is to see the track title and artist in the car display when using Bluetooth to stream audio. I'll see what mine does later today and let you know how that goes. Hope to get it working!
EDIT 3/9: Paired the phone to my Volvo and it took a while, but connected just fine. Went to media and played music in Youtube - it displays the youtube name in the Volvo screen. Used VLC to play some music from the device, got the artist and track name in the Volvo display also, so no problems here so far. Haven't tested it with other media players yet (I like to use blackplayer). So if you don't see the media info, what player are you using?
I use 'youtube music' and the screen just says 'streaming' oh and the name of.my phone
What happens when you use other apps? Have you tried deleting the device from the bluetooth paired list on the Volvo and pairing it again?
All apps just say 'streaming'.
I tried now to put bluetooth profile on 1.6.
But I can't test it I'm on holidays now..
Guys,
Slightly obscure one here. I hope that someone can help!
I have a Samsung SM-A405FN and run BBC Sounds. Occasionally the 'phone will start to 'play' BBC radio with no prompting from me - it will spontaneously start for no apparent reason. The most recent time was at 5.0am this morning when Mrs 2B and I were asleep and my 'phone was charging in the bedroom.
More detail:
At home I have a number of ChromeCast Audio devices. I will commonly start listening to a radio station on ChromeCast from my 'phone whereupon the audio output moves from the 'phone to the ChromeCast. I understand that the audio is not playing from the 'phone, rather that the 'phone is instructing the ChromeCasts to hook up to the BBC and play the radio.
Sometimes I will leave the ChromeCasts to play for many days; the amplifiers turn off overnight and when I turn them on the radio comes on instantly. Just what I want.
My suspicion (and this is only a suspicion) is that when the audio spontaneously plays from the 'phone then it is in some way due to this; for some reason it thinks that the audio is no longer playing from the ChromeCasts and hence plays it from the 'phone. Quite often when I leave the house (and hence away from the home WiFi) then the 'phone will start to play R4 in my pocket (i.e the same problem).
So I guess my question is whether anyone else has experienced this and has an explanation? Failing that, how does Android cope with playing BBC Sounds via ChromeCasts and WiFi drop outs? Is a WiFi dropout an explanation for this? (If it is then the next question is why should the WiFi dropout at 5.0am when it has been stable from 11.0pm to that time?)
Of course my suspicion could be entirely wrong.
Three other things which may help:
- I rebuilt the 'phone from scratch last week because it was doing this. And it's doing exactly the same thing again. I DIDN'T import the settings from before when I rebuilt it; it was a clean rebuild after which I re-installed most of the same apps as I had before (including Google Home and BBC Sounds).
- My wife has the same model of 'phone and largely the same software installed (BBC Sounds and Google Home), but hers doesn't do this.
- I have also had problems with playlists played from Amazon Music and iBroadcast stopping half way through when playing on ChromeCast and not progressing to the next track and wonder if this is related as well.
All help welcomed, thanks.
