[Q] Help! Default media app and other problems.

Just updated to the Samsung Note4 from a SG5 and SG4 before that with many other Android phones.

I've been running into the issue that I can't find anyone else reporting or a resolution to and hope someone here can help.



I listen to podcast or Pandora. Unfortunately this version of Samsung Android, does not allow setting any other application as default for music or media playing.

When ever I connect through earphones, or Bluetooth the Music app automatically plays. Even when another audio app is running and when using either the earphones or Bluetooth button to pause or play will automatically start up the Music app and start playing.



I've partially stopped this by adding Bluetooth Connect & Play app from the Play Store. This is just a small fix that doesn't always work.



Interestingly enough when I turn off my car after listening to a Podcast or Pandora, I turn off the radio 1st to disconnect from the Bluetooth and also stop it from starting backup when I get in, the Phone immediately starts up the Music app and starts playing from the phone speaker.



Other issues that are getting more and more annoying is that any Unknown phone numbers are not ringing through, and I have confirmed that the Call Rejection options are all turned off. This happens with regular cell calls as well as Google Voice calls.



I have already done a factory reset once.

I have contacted Samsung Support, only to be told that these features are "Samsung manufacturing design."



I have couple of options from what I can tell, Root the phone and change out the ROM with something that is close to stock but works, or Return the phone and take advantage of my 1st gen version of Jump and switch to the second phone in a year, which I am seriously debating. Might just go to the Nexus 6, maybe back to the Samsung GS5 which worked great, or join the herd and go with iPhone which really annoys me to be honest. I like being able to customize my phones which is what is really frustrating with this issue.



If anyone has any suggestions, similar experiences, or general helpful comments, its much appreciated.
