I've Googled around and there doesn't seem to be many people with my particular, annoying issue: I just want my phone to stop playing music/media when I undock it from my iBolt car dock. I use CarDockV3 as my dock program.
I am trying to stay away from Tasker a bit, but I'll switch to it if it has the option and works better. I am using Llama right now combined with Media Utilities. I create a shortcut to the pause option, and have Llama set up to activate it when undocked. However, this only SOMETIMES works, and with a really long delay. Ie., a good 10-15 seconds after undocking, does the music stop, and only sometimes. I tried using a Bluetooth disconnect state but this seems to work even less frequently...
I just wish Android would detect undocking and force stop any media. This just seems like such an obvious functionality.
i just bought an external charger, it works wonderfully with all my devices except my s3 mini. when i plug it in, it does not start charging, but instead it starts playing a random song! so i thought it might be a glitchy music app, so i uninstalled it, and tried again. it opened the system music app and started playing music. if i leave the charger in, and close the music app, it still does not charge, but after about 10 seconds thre music starts again, i rebooted, and tried again. same results. please someone tell me what the issue is im really upset that my brand new charger dosent work on my main device!!!
my rom is cm11 from novafusion, but the same thing also happened on the stock rom.
Thats funny!
Maybe if you use Tasker it can help you disable the music, I do not think that will enable charging though. Have you tried with a different charger? What happens when you plug it into a computer?
I'm assuming it's possible to remove the headphone warning when plugging in after rebooting, and also to have the volume stay at the high level after reboot.
Is this easy to do? I'm on vzw, doubt it matters

Nothing that I know of without root.
One thing I've considered is using Trigger or some other automation tool to set the media volume to 15 on some sort of trigger, such as connecting to wifi or my watch or something else that happens right after boot. Right now, I have it set to do so when my headphones connect, and it does cause a popup to warn you about the volume, but then I click ok and my volume is at 15. I think that maybe this post-boot trigger would potentially save me the trouble of doing it when my headphones connect.
That's a good idea. I could do that with Tasker. It will get the job done for now
I have root lol. I know this wouldn't be possible withiut

I played around with this yesterday. Setting media volume to 15 with Trigger/Tasker just changes it for the speaker. Only when you connect headphones and THEN try to set the volume to 15 (or above the threshold) does it give you the warning.
It does then when connected to bluetooth as well I really want this warning to be removed.
Me too! This is so annoying when trying to listen in the car. My phone will connect via bluetooth, but because volume amplification is so low on the S6 I have to turn it all the way up. It makes for a dangerous situation while driving.
I really wish Samsung would stop trying to save people from themselves constantly. I don't need hand holding.
Can I delete system>media>audio>ui>Charger_Connection.ogg to stop the sound when the charger gets plugged in? It works - but would it have any long term effect? Is there another way to stop that sound?
bump for the daytime folks
That works fine. No long term effects. You could likely accomplish the same by having Tasker temporarily mute the phone the instant it's connected to a charger. Easier to remove the sound file though. ?

Thanks - I just removed that sound, as well as the power up and power down sound. Figured that would be easiest.
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,
Tony
