I run my YouTube app in the background to listen to music, but the phone seems to close it every now and again in order to "save battery."
I cannot make the app unmonitored because it does not show up in that section of the battery management app.
Does anyone have any experience in keeping background apps running?

Hej.
I recently picked up an HTC Magic, and had a quick question about multitasking. Prior to this phone I had a Nokia E71, and could run Opera, Music Player, and SMS with little to no lag in between.
On the Magic, I rarely can listen to music and web browse without the music stuttering. Even if i attempt to send an sms, the music playback may drop.
Is this normal?
I am running the ION Rom, and have no widgets running, plus no third party apps. I would think that this android OS would be better equipped than this.
Umm. I do not have this problem and I multi-task ALOT!
To fix this, I would recommend using "Advanced Task Manager Lite" from the App Store. It can help you close applications that you do not want running in the background.
To NOT close apps like music while you are browsing..just open up the app after opening up like the Music application..tap on the application in the list shown..and click on "exclude"...do that for other apps like gmail and stuff too..so that they can easily run in the background..
Once you are done doing this..click on "end all"..all the unnecessary apps running in the background will be GONE !
I think this will help get more out of your phone..
Hi, anyone know how to keep the music from stop playing after launching another app. Basically, after it's in the background it will finish a song but will stop and not play the next song. If the music app is in the foreground, it will keep playing continuously. I've tried Meridian and the build-in music app, also tried using album or playlist in both apps. both seems to be behaving the same. Phone is rooted running cyangenmod 4.2.10.1. Thx.
This is a known issue that started with Cyan. 4.2.9.1 and hasn't been solved in the latest version.
btw, you should've posted in Cyanogen's thread.
Quick question. Are you using Advanced Task Manager?
there is an app on the market called "ongoing music adapter". hope that solves your problem.
I am not using Advanced Task Killer. Will give the ongoing music adapter a try. thx everyone
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
Does this thing multitask? If I open any browser and play music from a website, then open another tab, the music stops from the first tab with msg "stopping audio player". If I play music from Sirius App and minimize to start browsing, the music stops with msg "stopping audio player". My SII phone works fine, but the tab won't let me play Sirius app and browse at the same time.
Interesting, sounds like an issue with sirius. Of course the tablet should multi task though.

Any music website stops playing when I open another tab. It doesn't matter which browser I use, I've tried them all.
Then use Pandora. Its an app and it never stops playing.
Have you tried a different browser? I don't think that will work but it is worth a shot. Also, I think that browsers were made to work this way (When browsing another page all tasks on the current tab is paused) to keep memory and CPU usage down when browsing.
It makes sense, not sure if that is 100% correct though.
Siriusxm app android "stopping audio player" when minimizing!?!?
I have the same issue, but it is with the siriusxm android app and not a browser, on my samsung galaxy s3. As soon as I minimize, I get the message "stopping audio player". I have ATK but I have siriusxm as an ignore app, so that it is not forced closed. There is no setting on the siriusxm app that allows for any multitasking option. My default android music player can play in the background as I play a game or browse the internet, but the siriusxm app shuts down as I minimize it..... frustrating!
Anyone else having this issue, and what could be the cause and/or solution? Thanks in advance
UPDATE ----
Found the fix in another forum, under Settings - Developer Options - Do not keep activities, just uncheck and restart ----- BOOM it works, yeah!! Thx for the reply necktru!
In my P3110, the application of music stops just open another audio source, whether for web or aplicaccion youtube, I tried to PowerAMP and the Apollo, and all feel the same, and is only for the issue of multiple audio applications
Hi Guys
I'm going insane figuring out how to switch between 2 open apps quickly. Let me give you an example: I run with my watch and I like listening to music from the watch during the run. This means I have 2 apps open: Runtastic (to register the workout) and Google play music (to stream music to headsets). Normally I keep Runtastic in foreground so I can see the stats of my workout at any time and Google music is running in backgroud. Sometimes, though, I'd like to e.g. skip a song and in order to achieve that I have to go to homescreen, display app drawer on the watch and browse for Google play music. After that I have to go the same steps in reverse to get Runtastic back to foreground. Is there really no easier way? Maybe there's app for it?

Try Gesture Launcher maybe?

Good tip, thanks. I've given it a try already and looks promising. Can't believe google haven't taken care of similar native feature.
