Usually, I listen to podcasts (AntennaPod app), but occasionally I listen to Spotify. And here comes the problem. Sometimes Spotify suddenly starts playing.
Two examples from the last few days:
1. Spotify was Forced stopped, in Android’s Battery settings Spotify is set to be in Deep sleep. Spotify’s Autoplay setting is disabled. Before entering the car, I was listening to my podcast application (AntennaPod), but immediately after the phone connects to the car’s infotainment, Spotify starts to play music. Can’t understand that annoying behavior.
2. In Android’s Battery settings Spotify is set to be in Deep sleep. Spotify’s Autoplay setting is disabled. Spotify wasn’t used a whole day. Then I made a phone restart (usually I do it sometimes). After the phone “comes back”, Spotify suddenly starts to play music. This time without being connected to an external device. Simply can’t understand that behavior. It can be seen only in notifications, the Spotify isn't among the last opened apps (logically).
Technical info: Samsung Galaxy S21 FE with latest firmware G990BXXS2CVC6 (Android 12). The phone is only some days old and without many installed applications.
Any idea?

Recently, my Spotify app has pretty much been eating itself, and is beginning to become more and more of nuisance, for two reasons.
1) I usually have Spotify playing in my rucksack, while the Fire itself is on standby (it conserves battery power, while stoolallowing me to listen to music). However, it recently started just randomly switching between pause and play when I don't tell it to. It leaves large gaps in the track I'm listening to, and there doesn't seem like any particular pattern I can find as to why.
2) Whenever I'm trying watching a YouTube video, a song will suddenly start playing, and will force the video to pause. However, the video and music then fight each other, and then both proceed to alternate between playing and paused disorientingly (since I'm assuming both can't be operational at the same time) until I stop both manually. This happens every time I try to watch a video, and even worse, when the Spotify app hasn't been opened for a long time, and the video just pauses at certain random moments without any music.
Would be mighty grateful for some help, please.
Whenever I get in my car and my bluetooth connects, google play music just starts playing whatever was last on on Google Music App. I'm a spotify user and would like to change the default from Google to Spotify. I can't seem to find a way to stop Google music from playing by default. It's very annoying. Works great if you use Google music, but otherwise, annoying.
Anyone having this issue? Anyone have a fix?
AFAIK there isn't a way to prevent media autoplay when connecting to (certain?) car stereos.
Interestingly enough, I don't think that the behavior is actually specific to GPM. I usually listen to podcasts in the car rather than music, and as long as the phone hasn't rebooted or GPM hasn't been used since Pocket Casts was playing, my podcast resumes when I get back in the car usually even if the notification has been closed. It may be the the Spotify app is missing some hook that allows it to take advantage of this feature, but I don't believe we have any way of affecting it directly.
BRO. This **** happened to me for like a week straight and I was getting pretty angry. I made the mistake of asking Google Assistant to play a song for me ONCE and every time I connected to a bluetooth device (usually my car) it started playing the song from where it left off. I don't know what I did to make it stop to be honest, so I'm not much of a help but I can confirm this is a very annoying issue.
I did NOT, however, uninstall Google Music, Disable it, or touch the app in any capacity. There's no option to prevent it from autoplaying, either. I might've let the song play out, but I'm afraid to open the app again to take a look.
Hello guys.
I seem to have a problem while playing music on my S7 Edge (SM-G935F). I'm currently on my latest Lineage OS 14.1 nightly at the time of this post creation (hero2lte 2018-04-10 build). So basically, whenever I play music on the stock Music app, the music initially plays normally and smoothly (although most of the time I have to re-tap the play button for the music to actually run). When the phone sleeps, occasionally the music has some crackling, glitching sounds, which is ear-piercing and not at all favourable. The crackling sound is a bit similar to the sound produced when the headphone jack is loosened and readjusted. In worse cases, the music pauses until the phone is turned back on.
A few minutes after stopping and quitting the music app, the phone suddenly restarts by itself without any prior signs of lag or extreme RAM usage. This usually occurs when the phone goes to sleep. The restart also happens whenever I leave my phone to sleep with a Youtube video paused. I tried clearing apps in Recents, and freeing up some RAM using Booster but none of them made any difference. It is only when after the restart the music plays normally before these problems happen again.
Other music apps seem to have the same problem as well. The issue becomes more prominent with Google Play Music, but zero problems arise with Yonder Music (though its service was discontinued now). Spotify and sometimes Vanilla Music also shows a few signs of this problem. This problem also seems to be random. Sometimes the stock Music app plays smoothly, sometimes Google Play Music plays flawlessly, and sometimes both cannot even play a whole song during sleep.
I have been googling this issue a lot but to no avail, none shows up to be the same problem as mine. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any solution to this odd issue I'm facing? Thanks.
I was having issues with my Bluetooth headset not automatically activating with my watch when turned on, so unpaired an repaired it. Now, whenever I hang up on a call on my phone (not even using the watch) my watch starts playing music from the spotify app. This only happens if the spotify is set to "stream over wifi". Another fix is to quit the spotify app and turn on then off power saving mode. However if the spotify app is used again the issue comes back. It was fine until I did the Bluetooth repairing. I have uninstalled/reinstalled/ unpaired/repaired etc and this issue won't go away.
I use the running app on the phone. Shortly after I start running a graphic shows on the screen telling me to wear the watch on the outside of my wrist for the HR monitor. I am already doing this and always having to quit the notification which is annoying. It didn't do this when I first got the watch so I am wondering if an update has introduced it.
When playing music while I run (I now use music stored on the watch due to the spotify issue), sometimes it won't continue on with my playlist. It tends to stop after one song so I have to press play. I doesn't always do this. Even worse sometimes it will only play one song which I then have to keep hitting play to repeat. As I'm recording my run I can't exit the app to restart the music from the music app.
I use the voice memo app on the watch which syncs memos with the phone. For some reason when it syncs a memo it plays the notification sound on the phone about 20-30 times, so quickly some of them play over each other. It's like you've just received 20 odd messages all at once and is ridiculous.
While I like the watch overall I wish these issues could be fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions for any fixes?
I have a Mazda 3 2019 (non android auto). It will always automatically resume any music session on my phone. Sometimes it's good, it will resume my audiobook or whatever. But more often, I prefer driving in silence. I might be trying to clear my head, or just have a headache, or just not in mood.
I will end Spotify and dismiss the session, but the next time I get in the car, it resumes. I know it isn't the Pixel. It's my car. This happens for my others phones. It's also the only Bluetooth device I connect to with this problem.
I Googled my car's issue and I'm not alone obviously. But there doesn't seem to be a setting to disable autoresume.
I'm sure I could use tasker to auto pause when connecting to my Mazda Bluetooth, but I'd like to see what the alternatives are. Is there a way to make sure that when I close Spotify or other music apps that the session is completely closed and therefore there's nothing to resume? My phone is rooted if this helps.
