I am pretty sure it has to do with some services turning off when phone is locked/sleep. Whenever I use Google Play music service to play music on any bluetooth speakers, if I lock the phone, after a few seconds I will hear no sound. I will have to pause the music and hit play again to hear it. If, however, I do not manually lock the phone but let it go to sleep on it's own, the music continues to play.
This only happens with Google Play. I have tried it with Amazon music and it works. Amazon music is not set to to close after screen lock. However, Google play is not listed in the apps to close after screen lock.
Anyone else have this problem and/or solution?
Thanks,
Does anyone else have this problem? I am still unable to figure out why it does that. No one else experiences this problem?

Hi,
Got a seriously annoying problem. Whenever my phone connects to bluetooth, which is usually in my car, it starts playing the last song I listened to by auto launching google play music and playing away. I don't know if I'm being blind but I can't find a setting to turn this off. Sometimes I might want to stream music in the car, but not automatically on connecting!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Sorry to jump on this ages old thread, but I'm wondering this same thing. Google Play Music is the culprit, just like you, and it's also when I connect my phone to my car's bluetooth and I don't want it to automatically play. I didn't find any options within the app itself.
I had this issue before and I used ROM Toolbox Pro to turn off one of the autostart receivers for this app and that seemed to work, but I cannot remember which one it was or even how it would've become enabled again in the first place.
EDIT: I think one reason for this is any songs that might be in 'queue' inside the app. Like if you were playing from a playlist or something. Wipe the songs out of the queue (should just be able to swipe them away) and I think that should work.
I'm still looking for a bluetooth receiver I might be able to disable to not have to worry about it.
Interesting. I've always had to use third party options to MAKE the phone autostart music when connecting to bluetooth. As the above posts states there are no options in Play Music to turn this on or off. What ROM are you running? Is it possible your ROM, a third party app, or maybe even your head unit is causing this?
Greetings all!
I'm having a strange phenomenon when listening to music on my Pixel from Google Play Music (untested in other apps as I have all-access)... my music will randomly stop/pause. The app and persistent notification show the icon as if it's still playing (not paused or stopped) but there is no sound, seconds do not advance, never gets to the next song, etc. It's worth noting perhaps that this seems to happen towards the end of a song, for instance when there's maybe 20-30 seconds of the song left. I feel like it has something to do with whenever it might start to preload or buffer the next song in queue??
After I give the app a fresh restart it seems to work fine for a while.. anywhere from 15 minutes to hours. There seems to be no pattern that I can tell. The only other thing I'm thinking is that maybe an app I'm using is for some reason causing a glitch but I really only use like Facebook, Gmail, texting, calling, and a time clock app. I've never had problems until I got the pixel so it definitely seems somewhat device-specific.
It does this when listening to music thru BT or with headphones plugged in.
The quickest way I can fix this is to manually press Pause in Play Music persistent​ notification, and then swipe it away, press the Square and Clear All. With headphones I can just re-open Play Music and press play.. on BT I have to cycle BT off/on (I think, I actually don't think I've ever tried it without cycling BT), then re-open Play Music... Sometimes it will automatically continue where it left off when I re-open the app, other times I have to manually press play again. You can imagine this being quite annoying and potentially dangerous as it usually happens when I'm using BT in my car while driving.
I've tried clearing the cache, clearing data, and even a full wipe. I'm using Pure Nexus ROM currently, but had the same problem when trying Resurrection Remix. I have literally never used the stock OS, I rooted it the day I got it and installed unofficial Lineage... I don't recall having this problem in LOS but I only used it for a few days before trying PN, RR, and then back to PN.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Or does anyone have some potential ideas to fix the problem?
Mine does the same thing the fix for me is not use Google play music. Play music has done this no matter what ROM I was on
I use Google Play Music as a music source. Historically, I would stream music in my car, connected via BT, and when I turned my car off, the music would stop. The next time I started the car, Google Play Music would resume. Since the update to Oreo, when I start the car up, the phone will often times start playing from the built-in music app instead (whatever music file it can find on the phone, sometimes the stock music tracks that came with the phone). I seem to have less than a 50% chance of it resorting to the music player, rather than properly resuming Google Play Music. I've tried setting Google Play Music as the default music app, I've turned off all the power management for GPM, but nothing helps. I've even been sitting at a stop light, play a video in facebook (which causes GPM to pause while audio from the video is being played), and then when the video stops, the music player will start playing a track from the phone, rather than GPM resuming. I never had this issue on Nougat, it started with Oreo. I was in the Oreo beta and reported it, but that beta was a farce.
Has anyone else experienced this? Have you fixed it? It's driving me crazy! (no pun intended)
As the title says, I have used android auto on my pioneer head unit for nearly 3 years BUT when I recently transferred from Google play music to YouTube music app (because Google did a "kill its own thing" yet again). I had no issues with anything on android auto until installed YouTube music, now my android auto stutters and skips and randomly pauses and it never keeps shuffle on. And now my maps have started freezing for a few seconds and skipping around while playing music. I've cleared caches, uninstalled, reinstalled, all my music is downloaded so it's not a network problem. I'm genuinely missing Google play music because it didn't mess crap up...
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated
I have the same problem and haven't been able to find a solution. Any one else have this issue?
When I'm in the car and start music from any audio app (tried YouTube music and a couple different audio players from the app store), and then bring up Google maps, putting the music app in the background but still playing, after about 30-60 seconds the music will stop. Switching back to the audio app will start music playing again, but switching away will cause the audio to get cut off after a bit again.
The music doesn't stop playing if I leave the music player in the foreground, but I'd prefer to have google maps in the foreground. This wasn't an issue with my previous phone so it seems like it isn't a problem with my Bluetooth device.
I tried setting the battery optimization for the music apps to never optimize, but that didn't make any difference.
Anyone else experienced this or have any idea what is going on? I can't really listen to music in my car like this, since I always like to have google maps up.
That's so strange. That happened to me on the op8. But only on custom roms. Go into maps settings and disable voice match. Assistant. Turn it off. It will fix issue. That's very strange. If that doesn't you will have to go under google settings and disable voice match there as well.

Thanks I'll give it a try.
Unfortunately turning off voice assistant hasn't helped.
