So this is my situation...
When I was originally using fresh evo 3.2.0.0 I was using the HTC Music app. I have this earphones where every time I click the button on the headphones it'd Pause the music or pick up the call.
However, when I switched over to DamageControl's ROM w/ using Sense, I tried the android music player. I decided I didn't like it and I went back to Sense to use the HTC music app again. However, every so often it'd just randomly turn on the Android Music app, and it'd always turn on the android music app if i clicked the "pause/pick up call" button on my earphones. Anyway, I just decided to stop using it for a while.
Few days ago, I decided to go back to Fresh Evo rom (after full dalvic+cache/cache/and factory wipe) because of other preferences, and I also thought it'd help me with my music app problem. Same problem still persists. If I lock my screen with the HTC Music app it'll switch to the Android Music App instead, and same thing if i hit the pause/pick up call button on my earphones. Is there anyway for me to disable the android music app or fix this problem?
Also, sorry in advance if this is the wrong section. I just assumed that this was an app related question.
And of course, thanks in advance!

I was happy to see that Pandora recently released an official app for Google Android. I love Pandora and have been using it on my PC and my old Windows Mobile phone for a while.
Since I've been using Pandora on Android I've noticed a strange bug. After playing a couple songs through Pandora, the stock Music app fires up on its own and starts playing over the top of Pandora. This is extrememly annoying! I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem and if so, has anyone found a solution.
The obvious solution is to switch to the music app and pause the song that is playing over the top of Pandora. However, this often locks up both apps requiring me to power off the phone to get Pandora to work again - then repeat this process over and over and over. Help!
This happens to me all the time, but I've not had the lock up problem. I usually listen on my headphones, and the button on the adapter piece pauses the Music app, so I don't have to switch around. Hope that helps.
Hi All,
Anyone use their Nexus S with Bluetooth audio much?
I use it in the car connected to a Parrot in car system, mostly for podcasts in BeyondPod and Spotify.
While I can use the play/pause button to stop playback (if I've started playback on the device itself), I can't use the same button to resume playback. No matter what I've tried so far, I cannot get it to work.
It's kind of annoying when I accidentally catch the pause button, and have to fumble around for the phone to resume.
I tried freezing the stock Music app to see if that was grabbing the bluetooth playback control from BeyondPod, but that didn't help.
Could it be specific to the rom I'm running, or is this a known issue with the way Android works right now?
Thanks for any info...

Unless there's something odd with your head unit then it's either an app or a rom issue. Play / pause / resume works fine for me over by with a stock rom foe the stock music player, slacker radio, audiogalaxy and audible.

works here also.....
Thanks for the replies. Sounds like it's worth some further investigation then. I'll flash stock and try a bit of trial and error.

So I tried flashing back to stock. Installed only Beyondpod and the same symptoms happened: pause ok, can't resume.
Then I installed Spotify, and found similar, although on one occasion pausing and playing Spotify caused Beyondpod to start. Only happened once though.
At this point, I'm thinking maybe the Parrot needs a software update. Especially if it's working OK for others.

I haven't seen this posted anywhere, but no matter which rom I use (tried them all, currently on Revolver 0.2) when the screen is off, Google Music won't advance to the next song in the playlist. It buffers and is loaded because as soon as I hit the power button to turn the screen on (don't even have to swipe to unlock) the next song starts playing.
Anyone else have this issue or an idea of how to fix it? It's frustrating only listening to one song at a time. Thanks!
noticed that aswell i had it also play a few songs before i had to repower it.
Same here. But worse, when I turn on the screen to advance the song, there is now crackling and static in the audio, which only goes away by closing and restarting the Music app.

Yeah, I get the crackling too, but I've found that it goes away if I just pause it for two seconds and then resume playing.
Very annoying indeed, unless you set the screen to never turn off. Anyone know of any 3rd party app that can advance through the songs?
I think this is an issue with Google Music. I sometimes have the same issue with GM on my Evo.
I have no issue with GM on my MyTouch 4g.
Mine advances to next songs fine with screen off, been using it for a couple weeks, in fact I'm listening to Adema now on it as I work and it's advancing fine with screen off.
Change your WiFi Sleep Policy to never. I think what's happening is that when its going to the next song, WiFi is deactivated because your tablet is in idle status.

My Tf wifi is set to never, still has the same problem. Google Music has a bug, all of my other music players work flawlessly. The GM pause even happens to me with local music.
Ignore me I should have read the thread title before posting, apologies to all!

ubermusic doesn't support Google Music.
Guess you don't know what Google Music is?
Google Music syncs with a online playlist. More info @ http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/11/google-music-beta-walkthrough-what-it-is-and-how-it-works-vide/
Thanks, to be perfectly honest I skim read the title and just assumed it was the stock music player app that was being referred to as that has exactly the same issue. I knew of Google music before.
Sorry for the misplaced reply.
Looks like this is fixed in 3.2, at least on mine. No more reaching for the power button to goto the next track. Thanks Google.

Happening to me on 3.2 but on my acer iconia both the lack of next song and static
I'm on the latest firmware and it doesn't seem to be fixed. Clear Data and everything else doesn't seem to work as well. Any ideas?
1. Sometimes while playing music that is even cache'd to the phone it will stop after every song and I have to turn the screen on for it to advance, is that normal?
2. Is there anyway of getting lock screen controls for it?
Thanks in advance

No, it's not. Do you have underclocking profiles for when the screen is off? If so, having it set too low interferes with playing music; bump it up a little. If not, try clearing the application data (settings > manage applications > [find the app] > clear data).
As far as I know, the only way to get lock screen controls is if you use a third party lockscreen (Widgetlocker; others may work too, idk) and install Phantom Music Control.

Crap still does not go to next track with screen off even on wifi or with data on
What player are you using? Some don't stay on. Try DoubleTwist.

Just the Google Music app, poweramp works fine. But I'd rather stream than load my sd card
Bump, does anyone else use Google Music? It keeps sometimes auto advancing the music and others it won't play the next song in the album unless I turn the screen on after the previous track ends. This is with Data always on or not so it's not that. I wish PowerAmp could not just see the Pinned for offline but also read the meta-data

Yes sometime it will play 20 seconds then jump to next song..
I'm having the same problem with Google Music - music stops playing after each song and resumes when I press the power button. I had this problem unrooted and rooted. I don't know if it only happens with Google Music because that's the only music app I use. Might switch over to the stock music app for a while and see if that's any better.

It's just the Google Music app, poweramp works fine or other apps.
I've been having this problem for months now, and it seems there's no interest in fixing it. It's not just your phone, either--I'm on a T-mo version of this phone and it happens on any rom, rooted or not, and I despise the built-in music app.

I'm glad I'm not the only one and going crazy haha, hopefully google will get the Google Music app updated quickly or allow 3rd party apps to access the streams
Ok, so I'm having a bit of a problem with my Radio and Music player on my HTC Sensation, I have OpenSensation CM9 flashed on it, so I can't use the default radio. I bought myself Spirit FM today and I love it! The radio works just as I want it to. There's only one small issue, when I turn the radio off and switch to my default music player (Currently Winamp) the music is extremely loud! It's so loud, it kills my ears in surprise shock! I believe it is because the app thinks that it's still in speaker mode, but that doesn't explain why the volume can't be adjusted. I can slide the volume all the way to the last selection before mute and it will still be the same volume!
Is anyone else having problems with this app? Are there any solutions? Please let me know because I don't want to have to keep restarting my phone whenever I want to switch between the two apps.
Thanks.
Bump.
