How to stop apps like Music from staying in the background? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I kill the Music app when I am done using it. It is still attached to the play controls!
This is a very annoying issue. I can not believe Google missed it.

I don't use the music app. But have had other apps do similar. Have you tried opening the Play Store app or the Movies app and then close it? I've found opening and closing an app that does it correctly may help. The apps with issues just need an update to fix them.

After restarting the nexus player it still has the play/pause button connected to the music app. I ended up disabling it completely.
No if I can find an eq that works on it.

I believe you have to hit the stop in the app (on screen)to disconnect the app. Also if you start another app that connects to the play/pause button it should disconnect as well.

gingerbread music player auto shuffling?!?!?!

Anyone else got this issue, the new stock music player, whether I'm using onscreen buttons or BT remote, is automatically shuffling?
i.e. I press skip and it shuffle skips. I can't seem to turn it off. If I hit the shuffle onscreen button it physically messes up the playlist album order.

Use PlayerPro? or download the new Google Music app from the Market.
I'd recommend songbird.

Eh, it doesn't have near the amount of features in PlayerPro
yeah using winamp at present which I like but stock has a few features
- good lockscreen integration (don't like winamp's style)
- ratings

Random music playing

I've got the application gPOD installed which is a music downloader app.
I don't know if it's this app or the stock app but sometimes I will get random music play (if im on the home page for example). But nothing shows up in notification as playing so I can't even stop the music.

try going into settings>applications and force closing each one at a time to see which stops the music. then you will know

Creamed Glacier[ICS] Media Not Found

I've had Creamed Glacier since its Beta 4.1, and then entire time, I have found that my phone doesn't locate music files at all. If I have a music app, it will show that there are no music files on the sd card, while I have over 2GBs worth of them. I have put them in the correct folder, and it has worked on GB, but when I switched to ICS I found that music was no longer being discovered on my sd card (also videos).
Is there a fix for this?
What are you doing on 4.1? There's beta 6.1.

I have 6.1 beta. I said I've had creamed glacier since its 4.1 beta.
Reflash. I use mixzin and music works me.

I had the problem, if you have any music apps like power amp,Google music uninstall them power off remove SD card, insert SD card power up and let phone read SD card, it should work now. Some music apps mess with the stock music app I don't know why.

Hmm...still not working. The phone still doesn't see any of my music, regardless of the apps I have uninstalled. This is indeed a weird problem.

Try clearing cache and data in the music app then do what I said in the post above

I went ahead and did exactly what you did. I had the Google Music app, PlayerPro app, and the phone's own "Music" app. I disabled the phone's music app, deleted cache and everything else I could find. I disabled and reenabled it. I uninstalled both PlayerPro and the Google Music app. Still no go.
Thanks bmakk2055 for the support you've shown me thus far.
I've deleted every music app, then reinstalled a new app, deleting cache and everything. Still no go.

I have the same problem and this isn't just with music, it happens in gallery too.
That's why i'm not using it right now, cause it pissed me off when i got in the car and couldn't listen to my music.
Also, it's really annoying how i had to yell at my phone to get people to hear me during phone calls.

Google my music widget not displaying artwork?

Hello guys I have a bit of an issue with the Google play music widget, it doesn't display album art from albums I've imported manually but does with music present installed on the phone. If i open one of the albums from the widget, the app displays the imported album artwork fine. What am I missing?

Happens to me to, I guess its a bug of the nexus 4 or jellybean
MIne does this too. I displays some but not others. It's wierd.
I have the same problem on my Nexus 10. Seems like the My Library widget only displays the artwork for media stored in the Play cloud not on the device itself. Google should fix this.
@HankStorm Yeah I had just copied my albums to the PC, then uploaded to cloud, I can now see album artwork from the widget and download the albums from there to my phone if I so wish. Only took about an hour to do ha!

It's a real shame Google won't let you upload straight from your device as I download a lot of mix tapes straight to my phone.

Kill any other media players you have running. That worked for me. Widget was back in an instant.

Thanks for the advice, the widget worked fine to start off with. It just didn't show artwork for albums imported manually and stored locally on the phone. It's sorted now though.

Download apps like album art grabber which will get u all the art work .
after that just clear the cache and force close the play music app and reopen it all the albums will appear

As I said in original post. The albums already contain artwork. The app displays it just fine, the widget doesn't. It did fix by uploading the albums to cloud. But I will try the fc as you suggested next time and see what happens. Thanks

Same boat. I thought about using the Play Music system with the cloud and all to see what happens... but man, what a bunch of extra stuff to do.
Call me old school but I've never used any kind of 'manager' I just copy and paste, how does it get more simple?
I'm having this issue and it's very annoying. album art grabber doesn't work it thinks most of my albums already have art and the ones that have zero it downloads something but it never appears even after clearing the app cache and force closing.

same problem here on nexus 5 ,play music app shows art work fine the widget doesn't, seems a bit long winded to have to upload it elsewhere and then back to phone ,surely the widget gets its info from the app?

Seeing as it's only a problem with the widget I abandoned it. Not worth uploading everything and then having to distinguish between On Device or not, potentially streaming files that are available locally.

Moto x quick capture problems

ok, so i recently just got my new moto x and its perfect besides these 2 problems im having with the quick capture feature and playing music from touchless control.
The first is playing music i would tell google now to play a song e.x" ok google now. play tunnel vision" it would pull the command up and tell me" playing tunnel vision by JT" then it loads it to google play music app but instead of playing the song it just does a search in the app and not play it. its really a hit or miss with this feature as i got it to work for about 10mins but then the problem reemerged. Through some searching i found that the touchless control problem is a bug apparently. any verifcation on this would help alot.
the other problem is with the quick capture feature in the phone. ive practiced the motion many times with flicking your wrist and have gotten it to do it multiple consecutive times but i can only do this if ive previously manually opened the camera app. e.x the gesture wont work at all if i havent previously opened the app no matter how many times i twist the device but when i either open the camera unlocked or from the lock screen the quick capture starts to work perfectly everytime time i twist. is anyone else having these problems or does anyone have solutions?
I can't get the music to start right either. The first time I tried it asked which app to use. I selected PowerAmp. Now it starts PowerAmp but doesn't start the song.
As for the camera, I hold the phone in my hand and then make a quick movement like I'm trying to flick a booger off my finger and it works everytime. : )
I've heard others mention that with playing the music, you have to select whether you want to use Google Play. I've never used the feature because I do all my music through Pandora, but you may need to select Google Play Store or Google Play Music app to play stuff on your device.
As for the camera motion, I was confused about it at first for quite a while. I was "twisting" the device by holding it vertically in portriat mode and rotating my wrist left or right (turing the phone clockwise or counterclockwise while still keeping it vertical).
Once I figured out that you flick it side to side (turn the device to face left/right quickly) instead of rotating, it works every time.
About the TC problem I've already selected Google play music to play the songs but it doesn't play the songs just uses the search in the music player. Its weird cuz it worked for a while but then just stopped
And I'll try motion u suggested hope it works and thanks

Could also try going to the Google Search or Google Play Music app settings and click the "clear defaults" button.
The motion you told me does seem to work better now thanks!
Clearing defaults isn't available for me to press saying I don't have any set
