Music Player that only pauses for phone calls? - Android Apps and Games

Is there a player out there that will pause only for phone calls? When I had a hero, the player worked great...would only pause for phone calls or if I was using navigator and a new turn was coming up. Since getting an Evo, the player pauses for everything, often times, I can't even tell what caused the pause in the music, just something that hit the processor I suppose.

I dont have a suggestion, but totally agree with you. I wish all music apps would allow us to have settings for Notifications, Phone Calls, Navigations, etc. It is sadly overlooked on all the media players that I have tried so far.

If you went to download a music player and then saw it say "controls phone,data,mms,internet,sd card, and had root. Most people would be worried fo ssecurity to download such an app. Its not attractive when an app practicaly needs ur entire phone open to use.
Voodoo sound has a Mod to disable all those notifications if I'm not mistaken.

Anyone else have horrible music playing experience?

If I use the stock player, which seems nice, as soon as I enable an EQ, I get this terrible effect that sounds like it's being over compressed. It happens with all the eq settings, and even custom.
I stated using Mixzing and it's a great player, the eq is awsome, but when I play songs it skips all the time.
That's odd. Mine doesn't seem to suffer from any compression with EQ use.
I don't actually use EQ but i have some poor experience playing music at times.
Sometimes when I'm listening to music through the headphone port and the phone does something (receive a text message or just use data or something) there are audible pops and clicks in the audio. Once the phone is done doing what it's doing they stop
I experience the same small pops and hesitations when playing music. Mine occur both from the speaker and the headset jacks. Sometimes I can play an entire song and have no noise, but most of the time it occurs a couple of times during a song. Very annoying.
Mine doesn't do that either. Good for me I guess, but odd.
I also have noticed the same issues. Especially when there is an incoming call. Granted, IM not stock, running cog 2.1.5

Yeah, I get the crackling noises too, but haven't noticed whether it's only with mixzing or stock player.
same issue here with the stock player AND mixzing. others have said that apps running in the background cause this issue but I tested that by killing everything in the background first and the issue still occurs. I know that android will auto-start stuff it needs but if the stock apps kill the music quality, then they have more fixes to release.
Weird, when I get a notification my music stops completely just to play my tone... is this normal? Any way to disable this? Hell I didn't even know stock player had EQ adjustments, where do I find them?

Bluetooth playback is when I notice the most distortion. I don't bother with any kind of EQ.
I get clicks and pops from all headphones, anything I connect the phone to, car, stereo, anything connected to the headphone jack.
I've tried and listened to music using all of these and get clicks and pops from all of them.

Every music player app I've tried clicks and pops, pauses and stutters. It does this no matter the encoding of the file, no matter the source, it clicks and pops and clicks and pops. It's worse than the cheapest mp3 player I've ever owned and frankly, I wish I could return this phone to AT&T but I'm past my 30 days. I really expected some updates, real updates for the GPS which is why I kept it past the 30 days. I thought the clicks and pops were a fluke, but to this day, GPS sucks and the music player clicks and pops. It's beyond annoying and if I could return it, I would.
Earlier today the GPS had me in Bakersfield, CA, over 2,000 miles from where I actually was. 2,000 miles!
And no, the explanation "it's a phone, not a gps or a media player" is not acceptable. These are features we pay for as customers. And a fix for these issues means I don't have to screw around with custom ROMs and settings and hacks and blah blah. It should just work, period.
Click click.. click click...
Yes, I get clicks and pops and stutters, yes I do...
...and yes, I've tried all the various buffer options in the MixZing app and am using the full PAID version, PAID version of the app. That would be the media player I bought because the stock one that comes with the phone can't read playlists created elsewhere. If you have even a moderate music collection it's absurd that the damn stock player can't read a standard playlist file and users would be expected to create all their playlists on their device. Ridiculous.
May I suggest you try two things and see if it helps:
1. Try a lag fix if you haven't already
2. Download SetCPU, lock the cpu at 1GHz and try music
I'd be very interested to see if either of these would help, have you tried factory resetting or a new ROM?

[Q] Ringtone's not playing right

I don't guess anyone has had this problem but me. I'm running Eaglesblood 2.3.7. I've checked the settings for sound and the preferences in google voice and the cyanogenmod settings and can't figure this out.
When my phone rings it never rings with my selected ringtone. It rings with a ringtone I used to use months ago. And when I miss a call, the phone plays an mp3 of a song I have that I have probably only listened to once. And it plays that song to completion unless I mute the volume, and steals the audio focus so if I'm playing some other video when it happens, I can't hear the audio until the song finishes playing.
I tried clearing data on the dialer app, which causes the app to flash and then play the missed call song. I delete the two offending songs and the phone seems to be trying to play them because now I have no ringtone at all. All I can do is use talking caller id from the app market.
Anyone ever heard of this?

[Q] Music plays when answering phone. How to make it stop?

When I answer my phone or make a call, the music player also starts and I hear the music on top of my conversation. Thus I cannot hear what the other person is saying.The person at the other end does not hear the music and when the phone hangs up, the music gets louder.
Now, I rarely even use the music player. But the only way to shut off the music is to go into the player and pause it. But it will start up again when the phone rings.
It generally stops if I reboot, but then intermittently, the problem recurs.
This is obviously extremely annoying. Any solutions?

Music autoplays after call

I have the AT&T version of the S2 and the Note 5. Both are paired with my Motorola Boom bluetooth headset. Whenever I place or take a call from the S2, the stupid Samsung music player starts up through the headset as soon as I hang up the call. Does this happen to anyone else and what can I do to stop it from happening?

You somehow enabled the Muzak setting, which provides elevator music between calls.
Kidding aside, sounds like a bug in a feature... IF you are using the music player and a call comes in, it will automatically pause during the call, and then automatically resume when the call finishes.
I'm guessing the music player was "active" -- i.e. you had used it, and it was an active app but in the background, paused from when you had last paused it. After a call, the watch probably blindly sends out the "done with call" even to all active apps, and the music app simply starts playing again.
As a workaround, try bringing up Recent Apps (like many others, I've assigned the double-press of the home key to this function to get to it easily), and kill off the music player when you're not using it.
It was suggested in another thread to close all apps regularly to improve battery life. I've taken to doing this, especially after some apps that seem to be poorly designed in terms of memory usage, etc., and have seen meaningful gains in battery life.

Question Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended

How to Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended in pixel 7 pro?
Hello!
Can you please be more precise?
Which app plays the music?
And you really want to end the music after a call (so during the call the music will be played)?
Usually it is the other way round ;-)

I know what he means. I have that, where I'll be listening to music, I get a call, pause the music to take the call and when it ends, the music or whatever I'm listening to starts playing again right away.
If I'm streaming to my car, which I don't set take to calls in my BT settings when I DO get a call, hit pause and put one of my buds in to answer it, when the call is over, whatever I was streaming just starts right up in my earbuds instead of waiting for me to unpause on my car-radio again.
OK, but these are setups in the app plays the music and not a general system setting.
I dont do anything like playing music or so.. When i switch on my car, when iy switch to bluetooth mode, music plays automatically.
In app, i have stopped auto start music. Still music is played via bluetooth without me starting a music

ok, understood.
But which app plays the music?
Jet audio, pi music these are the two music player i have.
I think there should be some setting available to play music with Bluetooth connection on to a device. I don't know more on this
Yeah I don't get the issue, stop the app that automatically starts the music when connecting to car Bluetooth. Go through the settings and disable auto-start. Only iPhones and iPads do that crap.
Also check Android Auto and your bluetooth settings in the car, they usually have auto-play settings
If that not help what schmeggy929 proposes: disable the permissions of these apps
especially Nearby Bluetooth devices:
