Hi I have been using Google Play Music as my music player and I noticed that when playing music the phone never goes into deep sleep which causes my battery to drain quickly. I usually listen to offline music downloaded from Google Play. I have tried wiping and reflashing both stock and Paranoid Android Beta 4 and they both have the same problem so I was wondering if the Play Music app is supposed to be like this? Thanks!
I mean if its playing why would it go to deep sleep when there is an app playing. I cud be wrong

You're not wrong.
It will stay awake but the CPU can go into low power operation. With the screen off, listening to MP3s with headphones plugged in should use minimal battery.

I am playing mp3s from SD card through the google music app (not streaming disabled) and the music will stop after each song. As soon as I hit the power button the next song will begin.
It really bothers the hell out of me. Any ideas? It is bone stock rom.

Have you updated the app? it went away after the app update
Nope. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same effect.
I install power amp and it seems to be working.
Do you have juice defender or another batter saving app?
I have the same problem, but for me ots just sometimes. But it does bug me, having to hit next after the each songs.

I gave up on the google music widget. I just use power amp. It works 100%.
I am not using any battery saving programs. Bone stock.
I have the same problem with Amazon MP3. The stock player works fine and just downloaded Poweramp to try that one.

I was having the same problem too then realized that shuffle was turned on by default and causes that for some reason. As soon as I turned shuffle off it played all tracks like it's supposed to.

Wow that sucks but good to know. I always use shuffle. I will have to try it without shuffle.
I've been diggin on Poweramp anyway and that works great on shuffle.

Yeah it sucks. I don't use shuffle. I was really annoyed with it not playing the next track especially since I was listening to it in the car. When I looked through everything on the app I realized that shuffle was on even though I didn't select it, turned it off and everything went back to normal.

Over time I noticed that playing music drains the battery like crazy. Is that normal? Just listening to music at moderate volume with in ears kills my battery. 2 hours really take it down massively. Are they fixes for this? I usually listens to flac files, occasionaly mp3's.
This occurs regardless of the ROM. Also I usually use PowerAmp, but I'm pretty sure the Google Music app drains my battery just as much.

I've noticed this too..only post 4.x

It's due to a mediaserver bug, I'm not sure about the details but the mediaserver is responsible for music playback among other things and it can get stuck in a loop while processing a file or album art causing massive drain, you should search the xda threads, there are already other threads discussing this problem
i face this problem too for me skype makes this. if you use skype just do not use it. until you reboot your phone media server will not stop.
I'll start with this:
I'm on build 20 of klin1344's PACman rom
Newest version of Play Music
AC!D sound mod installed
-if I recall correctly my issue existed before I installed acid.
What I've been experiencing is skipping while playing music through be play music app. Not skipping as though it's struggling to buffer, but whenever I tap the screen, within as well as outside of the app. The issue isn't new to today's update, as it's been a problem I've always dealt with. It also doesn't have anything to do with streaming music vs playing music stored on the device, skips while tapping occur regardless.
I've searched around to no avail, so I do hope one of you can be of assistance.
Thanks

I have had this issue since I got my S3 a few weeks ago too. When I unlock my phone, type in password, or otherwise click the screen, the music skips.
This even happens when I am using Spotify to play music.
EDIT: BTW I am on AOKP ROM.
I failed to mention that poweramp runs smooth as a baby's bottom. Not the case with play music.

I have the same problem like it will return to the lock screen and then the Google music widget and the camera widget like combined and start flickering. this is when playing a song stored on the device as well as the new Google music access they came out with. Mine just pauses forever though and its annoying. I also have power amp and it works beautifully. this happens whether I'm on WiFi or cell data. Good thing this is a free 30 day trial!

I actually did end up figuring out what was wrong. A simple disabling of the system touch sounds and you're good to go. It was trying to compensate for the sound at the same time as playing the music, like when you get a text message it lowers the volume, plays the notification sound, and resumes at normal volume.
Jwattt I don't know why that happens, but it also happens to me. Weird.

I'm currently running liquidsmooth 2.4 on 4.2.2 android and there is no system touch sounds option. I believe this is only for touchwiz roms? I think my problem is something to do with how the widget is handled on the lockscreen. I know it's not just this rom too because I switched from MROM and before that deviant xone and since they are all pretty much based of Cyanogenmod I think it's some kind of mis match somewhere.

I had this problem as well and turning off the lock screen widget fixed it.
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.
Hey lads
I have a problem with google play music on my nexus 5
I have google play going listening to music and it will just randomly stop like the app will shut itself down. I do not have it Greenified so I dont know what would cause this??
Anyone experience anything like this on their Nexus 5?
Any help would be amazing......
Oh and its not consistent either...Sometimes its during the first song im listening to, sometimes after 2,3 or 4 songs..
