[Q] Google Play Music randomly shuts off...Help! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey lads

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..

Android's Pandora app bugs

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.

[Q] Google Play Music battery drain

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.

constant Internet issues. WiFi and cellular.

So the main thing is driving me crazy is when I use Play music and listen to songs, when ever I skip to a new song the phone says music is unavailable. When the phone screen is on it seems to work fine but some times it does it to. The music will gray out and I won't be able to play anything. It is really bad when I am on 4g and driving trying to listen to music. I can't listen to more than 2 or 3 songs before I have that happen then I have to turn airplane mode on and off. Ever since the new marshmallow update my Internet has been horrible on my phone. Over half the speed test I try they fail when I'm on 4g. I'm about to throw this phone at the wall and take a loss cause I can't rely on it when I'm out to have a stable connection. Already tried wiping it to start fresh. WiFi works fine at home when I'm watching movies and YouTube but not play music. I'm wondering if power saving mode has something to do with it. I know it limits Internet on some things but I have never had a problem this bad until the new update. Any one have any ideas?
Here is a screen shot of a recent speed test I did about a week ago when I was running around.

Which app are you using to play your music? Are you like playing music that needs to be downloaded? I have all my music right on the phone with no issues at all and I use PowerAmp and it gets so loud you have to be careful lol.
It's the Google play music app. I have the subscription to listen to unlimited music

Damn I hate that app because it keeps the music from getting loud enough and then causes the problem you're having and a Bluetooth problem in the car constantly disconnecting. I don't know what to tell you because I dropped that app altogether because PowerAmp is so much better with the 10 band equalizer the pre amp which makes it even louder and you can even go into the settings and the set the gain levels all the way up and pretty much blow your ear drums out if you'd like lol.. I'd just download the music instead of streaming.
I haven't used Play Music often but I have used Amazon Music and Pandora with little to no issue while I am driving across country. Seems like it is a app issue or perhaps being Dozed after XYZ time.

It's definitely an app issue especially with the Google Play Music. It never got loud enough in the car while on Bluetooth or with headphones on it just sounded bland and low.

Google Play music closing when playing to bluetooth devices

I am pretty sure it has to do with some services turning off when phone is locked/sleep. Whenever I use Google Play music service to play music on any bluetooth speakers, if I lock the phone, after a few seconds I will hear no sound. I will have to pause the music and hit play again to hear it. If, however, I do not manually lock the phone but let it go to sleep on it's own, the music continues to play.
This only happens with Google Play. I have tried it with Amazon music and it works. Amazon music is not set to to close after screen lock. However, Google play is not listed in the apps to close after screen lock.
Anyone else have this problem and/or solution?
Thanks,
Does anyone else have this problem? I am still unable to figure out why it does that. No one else experiences this problem?

Android auto YouTube music stuttering?

As the title says, I have used android auto on my pioneer head unit for nearly 3 years BUT when I recently transferred from Google play music to YouTube music app (because Google did a "kill its own thing" yet again). I had no issues with anything on android auto until installed YouTube music, now my android auto stutters and skips and randomly pauses and it never keeps shuffle on. And now my maps have started freezing for a few seconds and skipping around while playing music. I've cleared caches, uninstalled, reinstalled, all my music is downloaded so it's not a network problem. I'm genuinely missing Google play music because it didn't mess crap up...
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated
I have the same problem and haven't been able to find a solution. Any one else have this issue?
