[Q] Google Music

1. Sometimes while playing music that is even cache'd to the phone it will stop after every song and I have to turn the screen on for it to advance, is that normal?
2. Is there anyway of getting lock screen controls for it?
Thanks in advance

No, it's not. Do you have underclocking profiles for when the screen is off? If so, having it set too low interferes with playing music; bump it up a little. If not, try clearing the application data (settings > manage applications > [find the app] > clear data).
As far as I know, the only way to get lock screen controls is if you use a third party lockscreen (Widgetlocker; others may work too, idk) and install Phantom Music Control.

Yea I found out it was juice defender turning my data off with screen off.

Crap still does not go to next track with screen off even on wifi or with data on

What player are you using? Some don't stay on. Try DoubleTwist.

Just the Google Music app, poweramp works fine. But I'd rather stream than load my sd card

Bump, does anyone else use Google Music? It keeps sometimes auto advancing the music and others it won't play the next song in the album unless I turn the screen on after the previous track ends. This is with Data always on or not so it's not that. I wish PowerAmp could not just see the Pinned for offline but also read the meta-data

Yes sometime it will play 20 seconds then jump to next song..

I'm having the same problem with Google Music - music stops playing after each song and resumes when I press the power button. I had this problem unrooted and rooted. I don't know if it only happens with Google Music because that's the only music app I use. Might switch over to the stock music app for a while and see if that's any better.

It's just the Google Music app, poweramp works fine or other apps.

I've been having this problem for months now, and it seems there's no interest in fixing it. It's not just your phone, either--I'm on a T-mo version of this phone and it happens on any rom, rooted or not, and I despise the built-in music app.

I'm glad I'm not the only one and going crazy haha, hopefully google will get the Google Music app updated quickly or allow 3rd party apps to access the streams

[Q] Lock Screen Music Controls Disappear

Just got my nexus 5 yesterday and am loving it so far! Weird quirk with it is although I have enabled widgets in the Security Settings, the lock screen controls when I use Google Play Music don't appear on the lock screen. Sometimes it flashes for a second with the album art then disappears back to the regular clock. Is there some setting that I should check to make sure the music controls aren't being overridden? I have the lock screen set on slide to unlock, not sure what else I need to check. Any help would be appreciated Thanks!

Same problem, bump
Lockscreen music controls no longer show up for some reason. Tried playerpro, google music, and pandora.

Mine works correctly on slide lock. I was just admiring it earlier. Huge improvement

I have the same problem using mtv music app. It seems my nexus "forgets" it is playing music even while it's playing music in the background. Randomly the music controls in the notification bar disappears, and even with it the lockscreen controls. I think it is a kind of strange power saving bug in 4.4.. Maybe it is possible to raise the music players priority. Any ideas are appreciated
thanks and regards
Edit: tested a little bit and it seems this bug only comes while streaming via Bluetooth. Had it with my bt headset and while streaming music at the dvr.
Maybe you can confirm that you discovered the bug while streaming via bluetooth, too.

same problem here
Same issue here but not only for Bluetooth. My lockscreen is secured by a PIN because I encrypted my phone. Maybe this is the problem?!

Sup guys. @Awks
I came across the same bug on my Nexus 4, too.
Tried the following: wiped cache, wiped play music data, fiddled around with lockscreen security settings. No luck.
Then, managed to fix it.
I had this one app, called JAYS Headset Control, that allowed to assign functions to headset button clicks. I simply uninstalled that **** and now s'all good.
So beautiful lockscreen with album art & all: https://db.tt/HfD6m3ds
Too bad I now have to re-download my 3GB music library, d'oh.
So if you have any similar apps, be aware that they might cause trouble. Ditch them.
Cheers! Hope this helps.

Exactly the same app for me.
Thanks bro.

Thx for hint. Same problem with "Headset Button Controller". I hope this will be fixed.

Smart Key
Thanks @TToivanen!!
I had Smart Key, uninstalled it got my album art back on lockscreen. But I want to use this app, is there any settings which will prevent this app to change lockscreen??

[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

Audio stuttering

Hi all, just wondered if anyone else had this issue. While playing music through google play music everything works fine, even with the screen off, however occasionally when I wake the device back up I might get a slight pause or stutter in the music playback. This can also happen if I'm switching between intensive apps while music is playing in the background. I've performed a factory reset, and it doesn't make a difference if using headphones or not.

probably nope

I'll pay attention to this in way to check if this happens on my phone too, i have the same firmware running except that I'm on B372 (latest build for BLN-L21C432).
Anyway, begin to warn Huawei through their contact form on their site. The first they're aware about this, the first they can work on it and find a fix (if it's possible).

I've noticed the same problem last week. Music stops playing pretty much every second time the screen gets turned off.
Same problem with Spotify and Soundcloud apps, however weirdly enough the default Music app works without any problems.
Any suggestions?

Audio Controls Gone

Within the past week the watch stopped displaying audio controls when I start playing media on my phone. I was always able to pause, skip, rewind with apps like Stitcher, Google Play Music, YouTube, Netflix and now those controls dont show up. I am still receiving notifications from seemingly all other apps. I uninstalled WearOS from my phone, factory reset the watch, confirmed these apps in question have notifications enabled in WearOS but still dont have those controls on the watch. Anyone else with this problem? Thanks for any thoughts.

Not quite the same but notifications for One Football stopped appearing on my HW2 even though they are not blocked.
Media controls currently working for me....I Use Black Player for music

same here. I use DoubleTwist... I'm afraid I may have to back to Google Play Music....

I uninstalled the Huawei Watch app and only use the Watch OS app from Google and all my audio controls are now working and controlled from my watch. Could be a conicedence but i had no media controls before uninstalling and my watch face constantly reverted to the stock watch face every 12 hours all seems to be have been resolved with this action.

1.7 Update fixed it I think
