Bluetooth audio stops on screen lock - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a nexus 5 and a nexus 7(2012)
Both running 4.2.2
Google Play music works fine.
The problem is I use a couple apps for a daily broadcast and while playing the audio via bluetooth with the nexus 5 it stops playback when I lock the screen. Doesn't start up again either. With a wired headset it works fine.
Doesn't do this on the nexus 7.
I'm using Franco kernel but it does the same thing with the stock kernel too.
Anyone else experience this?

Just noticed that it stops when entering settings while playing too...
Doesn't make a difference of I turn screen lock sound off

[Q] When music is playing, navigation volume is low?

Okay, I'm kind of curious what is causing this problem. I'm using NSCollab 1.09 and have used CM 7 RC2. Whenever I play music while using navigation, the navigation volume is very low when directions are being spoken. It's low enough where I won't hear it unless I turn the volume all the way up on the car stereo.
When I use navigation by itself, it's fine, the problem happens when I also play music at the same time. It never happened with CM 7 RC1 variations. I did do a complete wipe install with both roms that I mentioned earlier. Kind of wandering what's causing this to happen. Subsonic is my main music player.
Oh, the navigation volume is maxed out when this happened.
Any ideas?
Btw, searching for "navigation volume" brought up nothing useful.
I have exactly the same issue (almost) on my Desire HD.
When I have any sat nav (CoPilot or Navigator) running along with music app (PowerAMP or HTC Music) the sat nav voice iss too low - but only when I have audio cable plugged in!
Everything works fine when not audio cable is plugged in
running with stock android OS or with CM7.03-ns I have the same issues when using bluetooth... but only with third party music apps. if i use the builtin music player the navigation audio comes thru perfectly.
anyone ever find a solution to this issue? I have the same exact problem with my phone.
I also have this problem when I use Grooveshark in combination with Navigation. Haven't yet tried navigation plus stock music player though.. would be interested to know what others think...

I also have similar issue. Google navigation volume is way low when I am using TuneIn music internet radio player.

Same issue here with Tunein and Google Maps. Other music apps work fine, only Tunein has the issue.
Is this a Tunein bug? Any ideas?

Google Music Bluetooth issues?

does anyone have weird issues with Google Music and Bluetooth audio? I have my phone paired with my cars BT system and sometimes, even though I'm not playing any BT audio, I'll take my phone out of sleep and the lock screen will show an album cover from my Google music.. even though no music is playing over BT.. any ideas?
Thanks, just got my Nexus and I'm loving it so far

Same thing happens to me. It's because Play Music doesn't actually shut down when you close it , but rather stays running in the background somehow, even though it's listed as inactive on app manager. To close it completely, you have to kill it.

KitKat Headset Audio Stopping

Has anyone else come across this bug?
At first I thought it was related to Google Play Music but then I tested Power Amp and TuneIn and it's the same.
Whenever I plug in headphones and start playing audio, it works.
Then I lock the phone or switch to another app and audio is silenced.
But you switch back and it's continued playing without any output to my headphones.
Is there a solution?

Anyone? :-/

[Q] Music playback keeps pausing. Who has a fix?

My Galaxy S6 keeps randomly pausing music playback while I have it connected to the aux input in my car for no apparent reason. Phone is rooted on the stock AT&T Rom and has been restored via ODIN twice without any change. It did this before root as well without change. I have disabled nuplayer in the dev settings and tried resyncing my library multiple times thinking it was due to corrupted files. This clearly is a samsung issue and seems to be apparent with older generations of the Galaxy series as well. Does anyone have a fix? I can't imagine the rest of you are actually putting up with this bug on a $600 phone. It's really driving me nuts having to keep fiddling with the damn phone while I'm driving to unpause the music, raise the volume past the warning, just to do it again a few minutes later. Tried the stock music app as well as doubletwist, no changes. Could this be caused by some motion sensing feature that needs to be disabled?
So who here has a fix? Appreciate any tips or solutions. Thanks
I know I'm not the only one. Who knows the fix and wouldn't mind sharing? Thanks
Bump for info
I have a similar issue, as my Bluetooth earphones just stops playing music. The the strange thing is that my other pair of Bluetooth earphones work fine, and I've never had any issue with other Bluetooth media connections (including those in a car). It could be specific to your car.
I'm using Google Play Music.
Have you tried it with another system?

Do you guys happen to have the music pause gesture? Had this problem with the note 3 where video seems like it was lagging really bad but it was actually pausing and unpausing because of smart stay. Turned it off and it was perfect. It's probably a screen protector messing with the sensors for the gesture.

I faced this too.
This happened when i play music directly from the Widget. However if i open the app and play music, it didnt stop.
Hope this helps.
Blame the ****ty memory management that keeps killing apps.

OP, are you saying that when it pauses, it also resets the volume warning? Or was that just additional annoyance?
^^Combination of both. When playing music on the device via aux in my car, I have the phone set to max volume, then control volume output via my car. When using the stock music app, doubletwist, etc, the music will randomly pause playback for no reason while the screen is off while the phone sits in my lap untouched. Smart stay is off, and I'm running out of ideas honestly. Been listening to Pandora recently and haven't had issues in the past four days, so it's something with music playback for the device only. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
Maybe your cable is loose or has a bad connection on one end or the other? When you unplug headphones, music playback stops. Try using an app like Trigger or Tasker to make something happen on headphone unplug, such as launching a certain app or whatnot so that you'll know if the phone thinks it got unplugged.
Try clearing the cache of the music app ir use Cache Cleaner (downloadable from Playstore) to clean all cache. You can also try going to recovery mode to wipe cache.
Unfortunately I clear cache weekly, and am certain its not a connection issue. Are there additional touch or motion sensor other than the smart stay function (currently disabled) that could be triggering this?
I don't know what to tell you. Using aux is similar to plugging in via headphones and I've had no issues in that regard. I've had no problems with Bluetooth streaming either. In cases like this, it could be app interference or faulty hardware.

Is it only happening when you're using it in your car? What about with headphones or BT audio connections.
Do you have any sound effects enabled? I noticed that SoundAdapt really affected the performance of my phone, so it could be a factor.

I'm almost certain its some kind of gesture that is interfering. I don't use any of them and will gladly disable anything that could remotely cause this. I noticed the other night when my friend was driving my car, I was sitting in the passenger seat with my phone playing music through aux for at least an hour and no pausing whatsoever. I had the phone in my hand the entire time instead of near my leg sitting face up on my seat, which made me realize it must be some lockscreen gesture interfering. Any ideas?
Is the screen actually on? I don't know of any gestures that have an effect while the screen is off other than the one that makes the time display pop up, and I don't think that would cause music to pause.
There's a gesture that mutes if you put your hand over the sensors. Maybe it thinks that is getting tripped? But I don't know if that would cause the music to pause. Maybe try intentionally doing that gesture to see what effect it has?
If you think it's a gesture, just disable all of them and see if the problem clears up, then slowly reenable them to see when it breaks again.

Thanks. I will try that and let you know. I went ahead and disabled all of them. The screen is off btw when this happens.
I think it is because you are playing the music on full volume. I believe that the phone on some songs can't support the power output causing it to pause. Try instead playing it one level less than max. I noticed that this only happens with some songs specifically at max volume. This doesn't happen at a lower volume on these songs.
Galaxy s6 edge and s6 music pause or stop issue fixed
i had the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy s6 edge. music stops or pauses especially when i am using Soundcloud, pandora, Milk music player or Beatport.
but i fixed the issue .
First open the "Smart Manager" app and select battery.
Second select "details" and you should see most of the apps that uses more power.
Select "Cancel Auto stop" on the apps u want will be using especially your music app. if you don't want then to stop after sometime.
Thank you
Hope this solves ur problem
I am having this same problem on my S6 edge. Not rooted (first phone I haven't felt the need to root since the Evo).
It happens whether using connected headphones, bluetooth headphones, or in the car A2DP using the Google Music app, Pandora, or Slacker.
Was hypothesizing that notifications are causing the pauses. Would like to try the suggestion above but WHERE IS THE SMART MANAGER app?
Also, was wondering if anyone with the problem fooled around with the animation scale settings described here: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-s6-tips-and-tricks/4/ (under How to unlock Developer options)? Wondering if that is causing my/our problems.
Thanks,
Tony

Things that should be but not exist

Hi may be I missed somewhere but there are things that I very much need but can't configure or find them
1) when music played, on lockscreen there should be buttons or widget to stop/pause the music. It's so inconvenient every time to unlock the phone, espessially if you use fingerprint
2) The phone paired with my car audio system and everything working except one thing - automatic pairing when I sit into the car... My SGS5 did it flawlessly but here I have to do it manually. Because of that I can't use smartunlock before do smth manually. And because fingerprint sensor is on the back side in the car with phone in the phoneholder you can't access easily it to unlock the phone.
How to solve this issues?

1) have you enabled music notifications at the lock screen, in the phone manager app (notifications section)?
2) Your SGS5 might be with Lollipop and your H8 with MM which, in my opinion, is a bit more picky with BT devices.
Have you tried to wait for a while, with the radio on, to see if it pairs? I sometimes get my phone connected to my stereo without doing nothing (was previously setup though) but it's not quick.
And changing the BT settings to discoverable? Or adding a NFC tag in your car dashboard that forces your phone to connect?
Yes. I've enabled that but it works only for Huawei music app. Others can't show. But I prefer my app to listen music then embedded one. This works fine on my sgs with Samsung fw and also with CM
For the car...my sgs5 is on MM and work fine. If I choose in bt settings discoverable will this drain my battery?

No it won't drain. Have you tried the NFC way?
