I've been toying with different music players, and all of them except the stock music player (as far as I know) on my Sensation 4G (the tmobile one) do not play nicely with Navigation.
When the music cuts out on the stock app, the music pauses, navigation says the direction, and music resumes normally. However, when using a non-stock music player (AFAIK) it will pause the music, faintly (almost inaudible) say what I can only assume is the direction, and then resume the music. Has anyone else experienced this issue and, more importantly, know how to fix it outside of just using the stock music player?
NOTE: I don't think it's Sensation specific, as a thunderbolt user has the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114107.

Yes, I have the same problem in a different way. I have downloaded a "Svox" TTS & when I have the navigaton in background while the Youtube streaming on top, the navigation is almost can't be heared so I will go back to the stock TTS & see the result.
+1 copiliot/google maps with anyplayer (stock, playerpro, etc)
also had this issue on desire and SG2. Did fix it once by installing a newer CM7 and full wipe, what changed I dunno!

Here is the problem I'm having. I'll attempt to listen to music via any type of music player. I've used winamp, amazon mp3, Google Music, and also the stock music player. Each of them will tell me they have a problem playing the file I select but each program does show all of my music listed. My music is stored in /sd_card/media if that helps.
So if I reboot my phone and then attempt to play music then it typically works. I normally have to do this at least once a day. I"m using the latest Infused ROM but I was having this problem with stock rom as well.
I was curious if anyone else was having this problem and if there was any solutions that you might recommend.
Hello, I'm having issues with playing music and using Google navigation. While listening to music, be it tiny shark, Pandora or music off my sdcard and using Google navigation the music gets real choppy. Cuts out every second or so. When I shut down navigation it plays fine. I'm using the latest rcmix3d. I just came from the latest virtuous rom where the problem was there as well. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Did you check the md5 prior to flashing?
If you had it on both roms it could be a hardware issue.
If the apps themselves get choppy try overclocking.
Hi all,
Running Endymion and have done some touring this week. I use copilot for navigation and wanted to listen to music at the same time. Every time I switched to the music player then back, copilot seemed to restart. Also, music was very choppy as if the phone couldn't cope. My music is sac+ 48k parametric stereo (so I can fit lots on my ad card. Ad card itself is 6xspeed.
Anyone recommend a way to navigate and listen to music at the same time? Happy to change music player, navigation program and even Rom if I can get it working well.
Thanls

I use winamp with music and sometimes play games while doing that.. Music does not stutter at all but the game seems to lag a bit from time to time (not that bad though). Haven't used endymion for some time but from what i recall it was snappy and fast, so don't think that the rom is the problem.
At the top of my head i can suggest to mute the nav software so that it and the music sw don't "fight" over which will use the speaker..
Try that and let us know.
Cheers!
Hi, I also using WinAMP for listening music. I didn't try listening music while navigate, but I'm using IGo navigation software and it didn't crash when I switch between another applications on my DS. So, I suggest, use IGo. BTW, you can find a lot of detailed maps for it in the web.
Ok Folks before you flame me, please allow me to elaborate:
yes, i DID search (but couldn't find anything specific).
yes, I DID try several things on my own (see below for details)
yes, the things I'm looking for in specific seem to not exist in one package.
Ok, with that disclaimer, the setup
AT&T Galaxy note running Black Star V2 with Apex Launcher 1.2.2 / Android ICS 4.04. (Please note that these issues ALSO APPLY TO THE STOCK Gingerbread software that came with the phone).
Ok folks in short, I am looking for a music player that can do ALL 3 of the following (every single music player I tried, and I tried tens literally does 1 or 2 out of the following list, but not all):
1.) Pin-lock friendly lock screen music controls (my email is an Exchange acount which enforces a pin lock) [Poweramp does this well]
2.) Persistent player controls even when no music is playing (this is VERY helpful to start playing music after a while) [Cloudskipper is the only player I know of that does this!]
3.) Full bluetooth track / ID3 streaming to the stereo. I don't think this issue has to do with the bluetooth stack because the stock player and/or Google Play music both work. However, their UI (and/or lock screens suck big time)!
Software I have tried:
MixZing
CloudSkipper
Stock Android music player
Google play Music player
Apollo
doubletwist
Winamp
Poweramp
Rocket Music Player
Zimly
Songbird
PlayerPro
n7player
MusicXmatch
NRG Player
Astro Player
(and more that I can't remember off the top of my head).
Can someone please help?
PS: Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I had no idea where to post it.
I'd settle for option 3 only. I don't like the stock player either, but it's the only one that sends the music info to my carkit.
I haven't tried as much as you, but I haven't found any yet that do this.
Im with you dude, It would be nice if I could see what songs are being played on my deck. But android doesnt seem to be able to send that data.
If the stock player fulfills all your needs, except for the lockscreen, why not try installing widgetlocker as your lockscreen and using a music widget of your choice?
Hello I am new here. I have the 5.5" Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 Unlocked. i am running the most recent version for this phone. I have noticed that there is a playback issue on Google Play Music. Every once in a while it will 'stutter' the music. for example if i am playing a song it will randomly pause and play inconsistently for like a 1/2 a second. I have noticed this only on songs I have uploaded to my Play library from my computer. It does not matter if the song is streaming or downloaded, happens all the time. This does not happen when I am listening to music 'added to my library' from the Play selection. I have not noticed this with the stock music player because I don't use it.
I have also played with developer options but to no avail. I have tried changing the media player from "NuPlayer" to "awesome player" and no change. (However I did notice it made web videos play MUCH BETTER). I also changed logger buffer sizes to the biggest size; 16M per log buffer, I also changed it to the smallest size. No success.
Any solutions?
Thanks is advance.
Known issue with stock. Some people got around it (myself included) by putting downloaded music on internal memory and that stopped it, though never once did streaming music ever skip for me. That being said, there is no reason not to use Cyanogenmod at this point, especially over stock. Those issues do not exist there. Alcatel's stock ROM is pretty god awful, in my opinion.
