Google Play Music not reliably resuming since Oreo - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

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)

Android's Pandora app bugs

I was happy to see that Pandora recently released an official app for Google Android. I love Pandora and have been using it on my PC and my old Windows Mobile phone for a while.
Since I've been using Pandora on Android I've noticed a strange bug. After playing a couple songs through Pandora, the stock Music app fires up on its own and starts playing over the top of Pandora. This is extrememly annoying! I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem and if so, has anyone found a solution.
The obvious solution is to switch to the music app and pause the song that is playing over the top of Pandora. However, this often locks up both apps requiring me to power off the phone to get Pandora to work again - then repeat this process over and over and over. Help!
This happens to me all the time, but I've not had the lock up problem. I usually listen on my headphones, and the button on the adapter piece pauses the Music app, so I don't have to switch around. Hope that helps.

[Q] Music Player suddenly stopped!

I use Google Play Music and Sony Music player. Both suddenly stopped playing.
Here how it happens. There is this game that I'm addicting to it. it's called Brave Frontier. Anyways, I usually listen music through my car cassette by plugging to the headphone from the phone. So I play any music on my player either one. Then I opened up Brave Frontier game and the music gets turned off or silent, but the music player is still playing music as indication.
Then i switch to the music player have to pause and unpause or skip track for player to play music again. Then i get back to my game. Then maybe a minute later the music turned off.
Any fix for this? because it is very annoying that I wanna listen to music while playing game. Other phone like galaxy S4 (coming from) doesnt have this problem.
Hey pal,
Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

Google Play music closing when playing to bluetooth devices

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?

Android auto YouTube music stuttering?

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?

Question Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended

How to Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended in pixel 7 pro?
Hello!
Can you please be more precise?
Which app plays the music?
And you really want to end the music after a call (so during the call the music will be played)?
Usually it is the other way round ;-)

I know what he means. I have that, where I'll be listening to music, I get a call, pause the music to take the call and when it ends, the music or whatever I'm listening to starts playing again right away.
If I'm streaming to my car, which I don't set take to calls in my BT settings when I DO get a call, hit pause and put one of my buds in to answer it, when the call is over, whatever I was streaming just starts right up in my earbuds instead of waiting for me to unpause on my car-radio again.
OK, but these are setups in the app plays the music and not a general system setting.
I dont do anything like playing music or so.. When i switch on my car, when iy switch to bluetooth mode, music plays automatically.
In app, i have stopped auto start music. Still music is played via bluetooth without me starting a music

ok, understood.
But which app plays the music?
Jet audio, pi music these are the two music player i have.
I think there should be some setting available to play music with Bluetooth connection on to a device. I don't know more on this
Yeah I don't get the issue, stop the app that automatically starts the music when connecting to car Bluetooth. Go through the settings and disable auto-start. Only iPhones and iPads do that crap.
Also check Android Auto and your bluetooth settings in the car, they usually have auto-play settings
If that not help what schmeggy929 proposes: disable the permissions of these apps
especially Nearby Bluetooth devices:
