DOes anyone have an issue with the Android units and the iPhone? Whenever I'm connected to bluetooth and playing music through the unit, if the screen turns on, whether I press the power button or a notification comes in, my playback pauses. This happens across all apps, be it Pandora, Google Music, Audible, etc.
Yeh bump, this is annoying me too

I use my music player quite a lot, and am looking for ways to improve on the experience on Android phones.
What I wish to do is to be able to control the music in the following ways, regardless of whether the screen is turn off or on, and regardless of whether the music program is running in the foreground or background.
- long press volume up button: go to next song
- long press volume down button: goo to previous song
- press both button together: toggle between play and pause.
- normal volume up and down still controls the volume
I found a program in the market place, but it only works when the music player is in the foreground, and the screen must be on.
I use this feature a lot on my iPhone before bed, and hope I can do the same on my SGS.
Is there such a program you're aware of in the Market place?
that's interesting
however, I find it easier using my Bluetooth A2DP for that sort of things.
it works both in my car and my stereo headset
i can remote control the play of the music before/next, stop, pause, play, random, volume, etc
best is, if a phone comes in, it automatically switches to phone mode, and when the call is over, it resumes back to music mode.
The only single problem i've found is, i don't know now to answer the 2nd call via bluetooth, if 2 people are calling me at the same time.
I don't use Bluetooth. Also, I love connecting the music player to a proper sounding speaker system in my bedroom and lounge.
Hey gang, new TF owner here. I want to play an MP3 in Winamp and surf the net at the same time. How come every time I go to switch applications (by leaving Winamp running, I just hit the home button to start a new app) - the music stops playing.
I'm a little disappointed that I haven't figured out how to do this yet. Anyone have this figured out?
I don't know about WinAMP, but I use the Google Music app and the music doesn't stop when switching apps.
Winamp also plays music in the background, regardless of app switching. Even continues playback even while the screen is turned off, if I recall.
Mine doesn't stop or exit music keeps playing and a notification is added to the bar.
I can confirm on my tablet, Winamp does not keep playing when I switch apps. If it matters, I am using the headset port. Maybe I'll try it without the headset and see if it does.
Maybe the headset port shuts off when the screen goes into sleep mode.
Ok yes, when I am NOT using the headset port, apps play in the background. However, when I use the headset port, the music shuts off when the app is switched (and also when the screen goes into sleep mode).
What's up with that?
I haven't tried Winamp specifically, but every other music app plays in the background no problem with or without headphones plugged in. Music, TuneIn Radio, and iHeartRadio are three that come immediately to mind.
I just download Winamp so I can test and WITH headphone I can multitask and listen to music just fine.
Music still play when screen shut off also.
My built in music player is the same way.
Hey guys have a very specific issue.
I have a galaxy note 3 with sprint. My car is subaru impresa 2013.
The issue is when my phone connects to the car media through blue tooth. When I turn on my car the phone pairs automatically. And the music starts playing right away. The phone determine which app to use based on a which app I used to play music last time. Right now I using the Samsung music app and Google Music app.
Issue 1
When the music is playing occasionally you hear a crackling noise for a second. Which kind of disturbs the flow of the music. I monitored the phone to see if it was any sort of notifications that would trigger the interruption but no notifications happen at that time. I also went to blue tooth settings and only enabled the media Audio profile. That did not seem to fix the issue. This lead to a the second issue.
issue 2
When the phone is playing music while connected to the car media it would stop the music and not play. At that point the phones home button stops working. So you cannot go back to the main screen unless you restart (pull the battery the power button does not work either) the phone or use the back button to the right of home button.
Issue 3
When the phone connects to the car media automatically car media does not read the song info. For example artist and title. I have to restart the blue tooth in order for that info to appear on the car media screen. This also presents you from changing songs from your wheel buttons.. basically if you can see the song info on the car screen then you can switch songs. If you cannot see the song info on the car screen then you can't use the controls to switch songs.
Please if any one know what's going on I would appreciate your input... I have few more days to swap the phone if this is hardware issue.
Android Auto freezes up phone and it's very unstable with new Nougat update. First when it freezes I have to hold the power button until it restarts. Second when I am playing music through Google music the music stops playing, it still shows like it's playing but no music coming out of speakers. The only way to fix it is by unplugging and plugging back in. I am using on a VW infotainment unit 2016 Jetta. Let me know if you need any other info to troubleshoot it. Thanks.
Hello,
I have a Nokia TA-1021 and there seems to be a bug where media keys are sent twice when the screen is off.
Whenever I play some music and press the headset button twice, the phone skips one song when the screen is on but two songs when the screen is off. This happens with many music players (I've tried Vanilla Music, Sony Music and Zing MP3), but strangely enough Google Play Music is fine. I've had this issue since Nougat and it's still here on Oreo. My friend, who's got a TA-1021 with the Nov patch also confirmed it happens on his phone with foobar2000.
Viewing logcat from Android Studio, I can see that MediaSessionService is sending KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT twice when I double-press the headset button.
Anyone else having the same problem? I am quite sure it's device-specific because I've tried different pairs of earphones and the result is still the same, and on other phones double-pressing the button skips one song only whether the screen is on or off.
