Hi guys.
I'm posting this in here, as I don't see a forum for my honor magic 5 Pro.
I cast youtube music to a Google nest mini. All has been fine, even on this new phone until the last few days.
Now, if I am playing a playlist or shuffling songs etc the music continues, but opening the app finds the playback has stopped.
Previously the app would be perfectly synced with the audio.
I've tried uninstalling both the youtube app and home. Rebooting the router and factory resetting the speaker to no avail.
The WiFi signal *seems* ok
It's as if the app is being closed as a background process as a guess, but Android 13 on this phone doesn't seem to have the old 'allow background activity' that I've been used to.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hello fellow posters,
I am having a very strange problem that shows its ugly head with Napster and Slacker Radio. The song will play for exactly 12 seconds and then stop. The song will then resume again several seconds later. The rest of the song plays fine from that point forward. I find it strange that it happens on both apps at the same exact time (12 seconds). MOG doesn't seem to have this issue.
I have a 4G signal with at least 3 bars when the issue happens. The problem doesn't occur is streaming from WIFI.
Is anybody else having problems with these apps with their G2X?
Thanks for your time,
Lance
I have the same problem. I was running the gingerbread leak thought it was that. So I'm back on stock same problem.

Napster and Slacker Radio
Does anybody have ideas on how to resolve the issue (song stops playing after seconds almost every time. The song then starts playing again after several seconds).
Is it a phone issue since it happens on both Slacker Radio and Napster? Any setting changes that can be done?
Thanks,
Lance
I haven't tried napster, but for slacker, try version 2.1.191. I loaded it with titanium backup. The last couple versions suck, and apparently not just on our phones/roms. The market comments are BAD. lol...
Not sure how to locate it if you don't have a backup. I'll see about getting the apk somewhere.. It was free on the market, so I can't see how it would be "piracy"...
I have the same problem with Slacker, so it's unusable on my G2x. If this isn't fixed sometime soon, I'll be canceling my paid Slacker account.
slacker updated again today. so far so good streaming over 3g
I had to turn on High quality mode in the settings menu, then the song would cache all the way in 3g. If it's in normal quality, they song doesn't cache all the way and will occasionally skip. Wifi works normally.
I've also disabled the local stream manger in slacker as well. Not sure if that has done anything
I tried again with the latest version and disabling the "local media server" option. Already had high quality enabled.
It actually plays music now. Thanks for the tip. Now if we could get music apps not to stutter when the cpu gets used... Sigh. A dual core should NEVER stutter music when multitasking.
Yes it what the "local Media server" not "local stream manager" . Sorry about that; I didn't have my phone on me.
Glad you're working. Not even sure what that feature does.
i deleted slacker. the damn app wants to run for so many actions. check it out using an app like autostarts. it starts running for a ton of different actions,things that don't even make sense.
winamp is almost as bad,but tolerable.

I disabled Local Media Server too (never noticed that option before), and it seems to be working properly for me too. Thanks everyone!
I have Napster and I have the SAME EXACT problem. The only way I got around it was to download the playlists so it wouldn't skip. It's extremely annoying. I've already informed LG about the issue a month or so ago. Its only on Napster tho. Not Rhapsody or Pandora.

This apparently just showed up with the last update (yesterday or today) and fixed my streaming issues in slacker too (only had time for a quick test though)
My Droid Charge was randomly pausing music no matter what app I was listening to (Spotify, MOG, Music, etc). FINALLY when I loaded up Rdio a message popped up saying that they detected Google Listen in the background and that Listen has a known bug in which it opens randomly in the background and pausing any playing audio. I have since uninstalled Google Listen and now my music no longer randomly pauses.
BTW: If you want an alternative to Listen I suggest Doggcatcher, BeyondPod, or Sticher
Never had Google Listen installed and I get random pauses. Oh well.
I've been having this issue. From reading around, it sounds as though a lot of people experienced the issue because of Google Listen. However, like many others, I have experienced the issue without Listen installed at all. I'm looking into whether it could be down to any audio playing application that is set to refresh at a given time/interval. I have Pocket Casts installed, set to check for updates every hour. I have changed it to once a day at 6:00 am (I'm very unlikely to be listening to music then), to see if it makes a difference. I may also try and force it to sync while i listen to music to see if it pauses. I'll post my results when I have some.
I had problems when using several music players. What I did was adjust the amount of memory the phone uses and the problems disappeared.
FYI, for those who had Listen installed. Latest version of Listen fixes the problem:
What's in this version:
Fixes an issue in which Listen while in the background would improperly take audio focus from other apps.
I, too, had to uninstall it couple months ago, until they rolled out the latest update. Installed it few days ago, and never had a single issue since then.
FYI, Stopping pocket Casts didn't have any effect. Problem persists.
This issue only started for me about a month ago and has gotten progressively worse.
Every time I open Google apps that could be used to stream music (play music, YouTube), I get a message saying that Bluetooth has stopped.
It happens whether I'm actually connected to a Bluetooth device or not and I can't find a way to prevent it. It never used to happen while using power amp either.
Is there anything that can be done?
Edit: It happens any time I play music now
Edit 2: The problem seems to be related to an update of the play music app. I uninstalled the update and only have the base version of the app now and everything is working fine.
Try going into apps in sttings if ure rooted use a diffrent app manager and clear the cache and data on bluetooth
I've had my unlocked Sony Xperia Z5 for about a month now, and I'm quite happy with it. I decided to root it after I found out the bootloader was unlockable, and that was mostly just so I could run a handful of apps that need it like f.lux or AdAway. I was able to root without my phone having to factory reset or anything, too; I didn't have to sign in with my Google account or anything again. I've also had zero problems with the supposed DRM on the phone, and the audio features all seem to work just fine. I am running Marshmallow with otherwise no problems as well.
However, one thing continues to elude me, and I've yet to find a single answer to it for several weeks. When I use the Music app, I can bring out the sidebar and scroll down to a setting that says "Podcast". I originally tried it out a few months ago on an Xperia C4 at a local store on display, and I was able to search up podcasts I normally listen to. When I got my hands on my Z5, I wanted to use that feature and add some podcasts in there. That way, I could have the music app handle podcasts instead of me having to use a separate app.
Now here's where my problem comes in. Whenever I open up the podcast option, the same thing always happens. Every single time. I'll click "Podcast" on the sidebar in the Music app, I'll see the "No items" screen telling me to tap the Plus icon on the top-right corner to add a podcast, I tap the Plus icon, and I'm immediately greeted with "No network connection. Make sure your device is connected to a network." Clicking retry does nothing. It's like the app just doesn't seem to think I'm ever connected when my connection works fine on just about any other app on my phone.
I've yet to find a solution on my own. Searching online turns up nothing, as if the problem is only happening to me or is too obscure. I've tried so many fixes on my own. Tried clearing the data on the Music app, tried clearing the data and following with a reboot, tried connecting to different networks, tried toggling my WiFi and LTE, tried just about everything I can think of. I'm stumped.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong at this point. I'm on rooted Marshmallow with an E6603 model Xperia Z5. Any suggestions on what to do from here, or am I stuck with a broken feature on the Music app? Granted I could live without this feature, but I would very much like to consolidate my podcasts and music into a single app.
Unfortunately, the podcasts won't work properly without root too. I just went back to test this, the issue that made me stop using it is still there: while scrolling the podcasts list by category, the list of items would occasionally skip very fast 2 or 3 pages below or above. I'm using podcasts in GPM now. That, too is a bit underdeveloped right now, hopefully Google will improve on it.

I have the same problem with "No network connection" on my Sony Z5 compact on Marshmallow 6.0.1 but it was the same on 6.0 and 5.1.1 so I assume it's Sony's music app fault. Anyone found a solution yet?

Try the app - "Genus beat" for music as well as podcasts
I find the native music player and podcast rather bad to be honest. I much prefer third party app combinations such as Onyx and Pocketcasts
So i recently got a new phone, and while AA worked perfectly great with my Galaxy S7E, it seems to have a few issues with my Huawei Mate 9 (purchased from Best Buy's website, unlocked US version i assume). It seems its a UI issue Huawei has a problem with across multiple devices as to why phone calls don't show on the AA screen, so i guess there isn't a whole lot i can do about that one, but Google Play Music about 3/4 of the time says the song is playing but i don't hear anything even though the volume is up. Is press my steering wheel controls to move it to the next song, and i have to keep going until i find a song that'll play. I thought maybe it was a cached music issue so i cleared the google play music cache, but nope. Reset AA, reset my headunit, uninstalled AA and reinstalled, pretty much most troubleshooting steps. Thought i managed to fix it last night, but nope. The issue came back this morning. Everything else seems to work fine in AA but that. I stream all my music thru my own library thru google play music so its kind of an important app for me, so its frustrating that this is happening. Everything works fine if i just play music over bluetooth, but doing it thru AA causes this issue and im not sure why. Any ideas? Thanks.
