[Q] Anybody using Spotify? Notifications question

I use Spotify for music on my M8, and while I've searched all over for a solution I just can't figure this out. When I receive a notification, the music pauses indefinitely. Only when I clear the notification does the music resume. This is contrary to every other Android device I've ever owned, where putting the device on silent or vibrate would stop the music from pausing at all. I've never had one that didn't resume a second or two later.
So, does anybody have any advice for me on this? Thanks in advance!

Try uninstalling and re-installing Spotify?

Thanks for the reply, I gave that a shot but nothing. I did realize though that it only happens on Bluetooth, not with headphones attached. I'm all out of ideas.

There is a setting or option somewhere (cant think of exactly where atm) that disallows apps to read notifications. Try disabling that if you can find it. Sounds like notifications are stealing the audio focus from spotify

Thanks again for trying to help. I know exactly what you're talking about, but I can't find it on the stock ROM either. Either HTC must have removed the ability to do that, or Google did in 4.4.2. Anyway, thanks again. I guess I'll just cross my fingers that they've fixed it in the new version of Spotify that is supposed to come out soon.

That was removed by Google in 4.4.2, was it not?

Download it from play store and turn notification off for that app. Works perfect!

don't enable all functions of gravity box try on by one and figure it out which function making problem

This is why rom developers advise not to use xposed at all. The modules are unstable at best and can mess things up randomly

did that, seems to be be the app itself causing it.

anyway which model do you own? it seems to me gravity box is not compatible for your phone's version

Q: Keep screen off when plugin/plugout

On my N5 the display keeps off when plugin / remove the charger (qi and ac).
Is there something similar possible for the S7?
I have root and xposed. I see something in "secure+" but it seems not to work.

No one bothered about this?
Tried an old xposed module. Wasn't working. Found an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.mudar.snoozy but it had the issue with the latest update about the smartlock killed and you had to put in the pin like after the reboot, no fingerprint unlock...

I bother! Just HATE this annoying feature.
I wished it could be removed too
I will have to investigate on how to install xposed too... (I still find it too risky for my S7)

It can be done with Sony's Smart Connect app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware&hl=de

I tried this app, but I don't like it - not working either, or I cannot find the correct settings.

Doesn't bother me at all. If I'm picking the phone up off the charger, I probably want to check what's happened while it was charging. Lighting the screen when starting charging doesn't really matter either way. It goes off in a few seconds.

AoD on notification

Hey guys im looking for a way to put AoD on if a notification comes in.
If the notification is gone or there is none the AoD should turn off.
Any way to get this without root?
Maybe some ifttt or tasker tasks?
Thanks
Edit:
Like this app but that is sadly only for Samsung devices

Question Does anyone have LockScreen Notifications?

Hello,
I have tried every option to show the Notifications on the LockScreen either with Details or only the icon with no success!!!!!
Is it designed that way? I didn't think so but this is what I am finding out
One more thing,
When I pause the song/podcast via my Wireless headphones, I need to unlock the device so the audio will continue after i press play?
Is it the same issue? that once the screen is locked the device basically is cut off?

Hmm kinda weird what music player are you using that it won't show on your lockscreen for me Spotify works fine on my lockscreen.

I use Podcasts Addict and Spotify as well,
But both of them and ALL ALL other applications are not showing.
PS: I noticed that the Screen Lights up when I receive anything but it doesn't show up;
I need to Unlock the device to see from which application and what the details of it.

Have you tried this >> Settings >> notification and statusbar. You can find there the setting for notification on the lockscreen.

Thanks for the quick reply,
It seems that my settings page is different from yours;
I don't have the "Advanced Settings" also Notifications on LockScreen is Already Enabled.
PS: I am on the Chinese Rom, Version 2.45.

Oh oke i'm on global rom V4.12. maybe someone on Reddit can help you?
It this the first time that you can't see the notification or is it since you bought the phone?

Since I got it, it's been the same as this; a VERY BAD experience that I am having.
Otherwise, the device is great.
Unfortunately, i can't install the Global Version!

Looks like this time they locked people out of installing the global ROM.

Any One have an Idea About this? And I am the only one with Chinese ROM that facing this issue?
