Something bugs me, a lot.
I noticed that for example when I have a WhatsApp call, I have to stay in the app or my voice cuts off and the other person doesn't hear me anymore. Same for the dialer during a normal call.
And when I cast something to my tv and leave the app after a few seconds it stops casting.
So annoying. So I guess the phone kills background activity.
Any idea why? How to avoid this? It's starting to drive me nuts.
in App info, enable Autostart and No restrictions in Battery Saver.

I've been searching around the web and have not found an answer to this problem. Regardless of the phone being on silent, vibrate, or even do not disturb, text notifications still interrupt the music that is playing. It happens with Google Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify.
I downloaded a couple apps to manage media and notification volumes individually, but one didn't work at all, and the other simply muted the notification but the music still lowers for a second, as if the notification is still occuring.
Can anyone help me out? This is quite frustrating.
Please, and thank you for your time.
Update: I noticed this only occurs with a headset plugged in or connected via Bluetooth. When using the phone's speakers for music playback, notifications do not interrupt the music.
Workaround: I managed to find a slightly more bearable solution. Here is basically what I did.
1 - Download third party texting app for play store.
2 - Assign new text app as default.
3 - Go to Settings -> Apps, find stock messaging app, and disable all notification settings.
4 - Modify new text app notifications to vibrate only.
I don't know if some of these steps are excessive/unnecessary, but I'm tired of tinkering around so much, so I'm settling here. I hope this can help someone that finds themselves in the same situation. Again, I do not claim this to be the best solution; just slightly less bad.
For some reason, no matter what text or phone app I use, I receive visual notification banners at the top of my Android Auto screen but no audible notifications at all. I need to receive audible notifications of incoming texts and phone calls, so I can respond to them immediately. My phone stays in the central bin of my car, so I need to be able to respond by voice, not by physical interaction.
The phone automatically starts Do Not Disturb whilst connected to my car's bluetooth, or when connected to my Honda's Android Auto system.
It seems crazy to me that DND disallows audible notifications but allows banner notifications. After all, it is far more distracting to view and interact with a visual banner than it is to just listen to an audible notification and respond verbally.
Is there a way of disabling DND permanently whenever I connect to my car? If I try to turn it off when connected, the phone just re-enables it immediately.
@Scootmien,
No, DND is baked in to AA. There's no way to disable it. Package deal...

Crap. Oh well. It still seems silly to me that visual notifications come through but not audio ones.
So I guess that not even flashing another ROM onto the phone would sort it, as it's an AA thing.
Thanks for the reply.
@Scootmien,
No, a custom ROM won't change anything with AA. Here's a lengthy thread on the Google AA forum about your request > https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/android-auto/twGRWEcrt7E;context-place=topicsearchin/android-auto/do$20not$20disturb
I've done a workaround using Tasker. When AA starts, wait four seconds, disable DND, wait four seconds, Disable AA again. No exit task.
Seems to work so far.
Hi all,
I’ve got three doubts:
When I am using Google Maps (either with or without Android Auto) and someone calls me, at first a heads up notification that doesn't cover the entire screen appears, but when I respond the call, then the entire screen is occupied by the dialer app, leaving me without visual GPS directions. This didn't happen with other smartphones using the Google dialer app. In fact, if I'm in a car, I can minimise the call so that I can continue seeing Google Maps, but it’s not possible to do when riding a motorcycle. Do you know if it's possible to answer a call but maintaining the call minimised? This problem doesn’t happen with Waze because it has an option to keep Waze always in the foreground, but Maps hasn’t got this option.
When I’m in a call and sound notifications are on, apps such as Telegram or a radio app I have, keep ringing even when you’re in a call, which is kind of annoying, especially when you’re listening to the radio and someone calls you and you have both the radio and the call running at the same time, disgusting. I’ve found no way to mute notifications during a call, just by using Do not disturb mode all the time (I've seen that Android Nougat automatically activates the Do not disturb mode during a call, but this doesn't happen in my Honor 6X), but then you have never sound. Do you know any way to fix it without needing to always use the Do not disturb mode?
I’ve set Google Play Music as the predetermined app for music instead of the EMUI music app. However, when I use the Bluetooth in my motorcycle helmet (Cardo Scala Rider Q1) and I push the button to play some music, sometimes the EMUI music app is launched instead of the Google Play Music app. It happens at random, there are no patterns, but it’s quite annoying. Any solution out there?
Best!
Sorry I have no idea...
I have got a problem about phone call or map have been closed after notification pulls down. Sometimes (many times) the notification bar unexpectedly pulls down itself, it cause the call is dropped/terminated automatically. Or when I'm using Google map, the phone has shaked when driving and the notification bar is down accidentally. Then Google map is automatically closed.
I don't know what is the setting or which app causes this issue. I'm not sure who encounter this issue like me and how to resolve this issue.
It always annoys me because when I'm speaking in a call and it drops that call and the caller think I drop that call.
Just switched to sony Xperia from iOS. Couple things driving me batty but I hope there are fixes.
I have notification sounds on, but when I'm watching YouTube, listening to music or on TikTok, the media fades and the notification sounds loud which is so annoying and I don't care to switch to do not disturb or silent every time I want to use one of those apps. Is there a way to have the notifications automatically silently pop up when consuming media https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/ .
The qr scanner in the notification shade only opens black and doesn't use the camera when open - is there a way to fix this
The speakers and the microphone are TERRIBLE, I am getting constant complaints from whom I am on the phone to - is there a way to fix this?
Thank you

First of all, Welcome to XDA!
I don't know much about Sony devices and I also don't "i" anything, however, the Android operating system, in general has some settings and features common to most devices.
The notification thing, yeah, crazy right? Crank up the volume on your favorite tune and PING! We shouldn't have to "fix" it, anyways, you have some options:
In your settings, open the app drawer to all your apps, and tap through Settings/Sound & vibration
You can adjust the volume levels for media, call volume, ring & notifications and the alarm. It can be tedious though, I use the Do Not Disturb feature. You can do more than just turn it on and off:
[Based on my Google Pixel 7 Pro, Stock Firmware]
Beneath the "Turn on now" button, first option is "What can interrupt Do Not Disturb", People | Apps | Alarms & other
You can create schedules, set a duration for when you tap the QS tile, and even keep hidden notification hidden. It's one of the most used features on my phones.
I only allow what I consider "HIGH Priority", family and work, everyone else can leave a message. I use Amazon music, so it and the Google don't get along too well, I *think* with other services you can connect with your device "assistant", or whatever AI it has. I don't know Sony devices, did I mention that?
As far as your hardware (cam and speakers), I don't know what to tell you other than the Google Pixel has the best cam experience and most Android phones have crappy speakers. There are some audio mods around here though, they can do wonders for some devices.
Best of luck and I hope you don't go back to iOS,
Nepo
