Question Watch stops playing music when a notification is received!!! - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hi all,
Ive noticed recently that when listening to music on my watch via my BT headphones, if i get a notification, message etc, music stops, and the watch reverts back to 'listening on device', instead of the watch, so i need to reconnect my BT again for the music to resume..
Only way to stop it is to disconnect from wifi/data so i dont get notifications. This seems really stupid, my previous S3 watch did not do this...
Known bug, anyone else having this issue? Or am i missing a setting somewhere?
Cheers

[Q] Stop music playing when connecting to bluetooth

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?

Spotify Music Stops When Face Down

I had just noticed, when listening to Spotify music with my phone faced down, the music stops after 3 songs (not sure if related, but the AOD time also disappears, probably to save power). When I listen to music with my phone facing up, it does not stop.
Any one know if this could be turned off by some setting somewhere? When I'm at work, I usually have my phone faced down so I don't get distracted with AOD and notifications and stuff.
Thanks
any thoughts guys? or can someone else at least confirm whether or not they are getting this same issue? thanks

Latest T-Mobile update break bluetooth?

No, I'm not using the Oreo beta.
Yesterday I had the strangest issue happen. While I was driving (Ford Sync 3), I was streaming Spotify via bluetooth and all of a sudden the sound quit coming through my car and started playing through the phone speaker. I checked, bluetooth was still connected. I could still pause/play, skip songs, etc through my car, so I have absolutely no idea why it quit playing. I skipped a few more songs and eventually it decided to start coming through my head unit again. It's happening literally every time I get in the car now.
No issues with the gfs iPhone 7+. I did notice that while all of that was happening (I went to go record the issue) that my video record button in the camera app was greyed out and wouldn't allow me to take video. After the sound resumed through my car, it would let me record again.
Any ideas?
Just wanted to bump this to figure out if anyone had any input. I noticed that after I get out of the car, if I try to adjust ringer volume, it is changing "in call volume" rather than notification volume. This ONLY happens after the bluetooth issue happens. I'm not sure what's going on here.

Running "Guide at Intervals" and Half Point Notification Mutes Spotify

Hello,
I have Spotify installed in my gear s3 and also have my guide at intervals enabled when running. Whenever i reach the half point and at the same time my interval, it will have a voice notification. However, after the voice notification, it kind of mutes the spotify. I noticed that spotify keeps on playing but there's no sound. I tested other sound like ringtones, etc and they are okay. I needed to reset the watch to be able to hear the music from spotify again.
It doesn't have any issues if it's only the interval playing. It only happens when i reach half point and interval at the same time.
Anybody has the same issue?
Thanks.
Even after 1 year the problem has not been solved. I am also facing it till date in INDIA on my Gear S3. Spotify or Samsung doesn't seem to care about it..

Question Headphone Volume Drop when Workout Detected

Background - I have a Galaxy Watch 4 and use it with Jaybird Vista 2 headphones. I listen to music via YouTube Music on my watch.
Have an annoying issue, wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Whenever my watch detects a workout, the volume drops (e.g., say it's at ~70% - it drops to 40%) enough where it's annoying. I'm able to turn it back up, but then if my watch determines one activity is done and then I start something else, it will do it again. Happens ~2-3 times if I'm at the gym.
I tried looking in options on the watch and my headphones, but couldn't find anything that could be controlling this. I don't recall this being an issue previously, so not sure if it's a bug in an updated version or something. Honestly not sure if it's a headphone issue or a watch issue.
Any ideas?
