Hi XDA community,
I have just received a reply to a 'bug report' I submitted.
I queried if the following is normal behaviour on OnePlus devices:
1. Pair phone with Bluetooth headphone/speaker
2. Disable Google Play Music (this is so that I can change the default Music app)
3. Change default Music app (I changed it to Pi Music Player)
4. Open default Music app (Pi Music Player) and play any track
5. Stop track and close the default Music app (Pi Music Player)
6. Open YouTube or any other streaming app and play content
7. Close YouTube
8. Click play/pause button on Bluetooth headphone/speaker
9. This should open your default Music app (Pi Music Player), but it does not.
I received the following reply:
'Good day sir, as we confirmed, this is by default design, In this case, youtube app won't handle any key event if they're in background.
Thanks for your effort and hope you have good day.'
My question is are OnePlus saying that if I use Youtube then the play/pause button on my Bluetooth headphone is disabled on OnePlus devices even though Youtube has been closed, shutdown and not running in the background? If so this sounds to me like default music app setting in OnePlus is not working properly. This is the same even if I restart the phone. The only way to make it work is to open default Music app (Pi Music Player) again and play a track.
On all other devices I use when clicking the play/pause button on my Bluetooth headphone the default music app is automatically started regardless of whether I have previously used Youtube and then closed it.
Any thoughts?
Can someone advise how the 'default music app' setting is supposed to work in OOS? OnePlus have confirmed that it doesn't ensure your Bluetooth headphones to auto start your default music app.
This was the reply:
'Yes sir, it will open the last player app you run and it's current rules. It may not change in a short time.'
Other than selecting 'Auto Play' under 'Earphone mode', is there any way to get round this as it is annoying having to take the phone out of the pocket to open music app.

Right now, I'm using jetaudio as my music player.
I connect my phone via bluetooth to player music. But when I press play without opening/playing on jetaudio first, built in default music player plays (Apollo).
So, I disabled default music player. Now, when I press play nothing will happen unless I play on jetaudio first.
It seems when jetaudio gets unloaded from memory, bluetooth control does not work.
Is there anyway to set my phone to open and play with jetaudio when bluetooth control to play music is received?
I tired to set jetaudio as default music player, but could not find such a option. Also, jetaudio is not even on open with list when I open mp3 file.
Most likely, the developer did not implement the functionality for jetAudio to be the default app for music. You might want to request it from them. I've seen this issue in several camera apps, which can be a real pain if you have a physical camera button on your phone.
If the developer won't fix it, then you can fix it yourself with the app HeadsetButton Controller (and you'll add some extra functionality to your Bluetooth headset/device. It's definitely worth the few bucks if you use a Bluetooth headset IMO). The app includes an option to change the default music player, and jetAudio shows up for me as one of the options.
Thanks for the info.
I found also found app called Media Button Router. I will give it a try.
When I connect my phone to my cars Bluetooth it automatically starts playing music from Samsungs Music app. The issue is I have Google All Access so none of my music is in that app. Is there a way to have Google Music play by default when connected instead of Samsungs Music app? I checked to see if Samsungs app was set as a default but it wasn't and I can't find any auto play options, I also can't just disable the music app. Oddly enough sometimes it will open Google music and other times it will open Samsung Music even if the last time I was in the car I used Google Music.
Thank You in advance.
In the app section of your main phone settings can you pick the Samsung music app and disable it?

Unfortunately not, it's grayed out for me.
If you use a file manager app and try to play an MP3 or other type of music file, it should ask you which player to open it with. Choose Google Play Music and tap 'Always'. Then it should open GPM when you connect to your Bluetooth device.
If not, there are apps on the Play Store that will automatically launch the music app of your choice when it detects that you have connected to a specific Bluetooth device. I can't recall any specific app names at the moment, sorry.
Another option is to root and disable the Samsung music app with Titanium Backup.

Lockscreen media buttons override current playing app and start "stock" player music
Hi guys,
This is my first thread and my english isn't so good, so dont mind me if I make couple of mistakes
Nor try to help me do better next time, thanks
I have one little problem with my Huawei Ascend Mate 7, version L09 with B137 ROM on KitKat 4.4.2
Well it happens when I play (for example) music on soundcloud and lock my phone, music continues playing in background but when i press "power" button to wake screen up and try to pause music, the soundcloud stops playing and the stock music app lauches and plays music from my library,
It happens same when i try to go next / previous track.
I tried :
►* 1 to change between apps :
Spotify, DI.FM radio, youtube, google music, xiaalive app, all of them have media lockscreen option and none of them seem to work on my phone
►*2 Changed default music app under "applications manager" and that havent fixed the issue either.
►*3 Deleted completely "stock player music.apk app" after obtaining root permission and this just made it worse,
Now when I press play button on lockscreen media buttons all my music apps start playing in same time
►*4 Tried to download any lockscreen app from "play store" which has media buttons on, for example (Next, Echo, CM Locker Start Lockscreen,
This can make media buttons to work normaly now, and not interract with stock music player app or any other music application you have installed on your phone, it perfectly focuses media buttons to application thats currently ON and playing music in background, includes art work too
BUT, as always there is something you must risk, and this might be a huge gap
When you download any lockscreen app from "play store", this will change your default huawei lockscreen and it will disable fingerprint option,
So if you want to "throw away" such a option as a fingerprint, this might be a fix for you
I hope someone has time here to try if same bugg happens on your devices and if it had happend and you found a fix which does not mean "avoding" use of fingerprint option, please say how
Highly appreciated for your reply's and advices
Thanks
It's aggravating
Mine does that too. I installed next lockscreen to override but it doesn't allow Fingerprint unlock. Also my soundcloud now playing disappears from notification tray. And youtube soundcloud urls don't open in app. No default choice for soundcloud or browser. And if my phone restarts, my wallpapers and defaults go back to stock including ringtone. And sharing to other apps always is difficult because it picks one and then automatically shares to it. So iI haveto uninstall the app it shares to and reinstall.

When playing mp3 music file using the default media player, the music randomly stops playing about a few minutes into the first song. player controls still work (player hasn't frozen), but no sound, nor is there movement from music slide bar indicator. problem is still present when I restart the music app. the only way I manage to get the media player to work again is to restart the phone, then the media function normally. Is there a fix for the default player app, or an alternative player app that can be controlled by the bluetooth accessories (bluetooth smart watch, or headset)? Thanks in advance.
You might consider trying PowerAmp - it's a pretty descent music player app with tons of features. Not sure about bluetooth actually but you go ahead and give it a try - it's a paid app but got trial.
btotaku - Thanks for the advice. I can fess up a "$1.00" for an app. Does this app have full android integration, I mean that can the app functions be controlled externally by bluetooth (volume, rev/cue)?
Not sure about this but hey, download it for free and give it a try for 14 days; if it works and you like it you might consider it.
I am running @da_anton's lightweight ROM and still getting slowdown issues. I noticed once the headunit bogs down, the tuner also starts having trouble. I think part of my problem is I have a large music library on my External SD and the music app seems to rescan it every time it boots. I want to total replace the music app and replace with something very lightweight like Eleven Player, but only if I can completely replace the existing app.
Since I am on da_anton's ROM, I am rooted, and know I can delete the default, but how do I get the replacement player to work as default so it has app priority when I select it? By that I mean if I have the radio on, and select music, the system knows radio sound stops and music app takes control.
+1 for that, I would like to use other version for music player as well, the way it sorts the folders is not good for me, need standard style, like pc folder style, not all folders at same time.
MtcdTools for set a steel button for:
1-next button
2-previous song
3-open the better music app: jetaudio
Hi,
Is there any way to assign third party app to Steering Wheel Controls command MODE so that instead of Radio -> Music -> Video -> AUX cycle thru Radio -> [My Music App] -> [My Video App] -> AUX?
