So I've searched using "keywords" and scoured through many similar posts on this issue within the forum and through Google with no luck, so I'm posting this request now.
Is there any way to prevent a new message/text notification sound from halting music playback?
I hook up my phone to the car to blast the music but when I get a text, it stops/halts/pauses the song, plays the notify sound, and then resumes playback.
I don't want to turn off the notifications all the way, I just want to have the notify sound play OVER or ON-TOP of the music playback
The phone is still running just the stock rom, but if you guys suggest an app or rooting, then I will do whatever it takes, thanks!
This is part of MOST phones. My phone does it, the G1 does it, my friends BB does it.
thanks fenixnr....so is there nothing that can be done to correct this on an Android device?
I know in the past I've had Windows Mobile devices with the same issue (Xperia X1) and some of the ROMs I flashed on it corrected the issue while others did not. My HD2 doesn't have this problem and it has a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack too.
Am I the only one who has noticed this
I was hoping someone else would have wanted the same thing resolved.

There is nothing to "resolve" as I am pretty sure that is by design how it should work. I cannot test this now, but try putting your phone into a silent mode when listening to your music... Of course, keep your media volume up for your music.
If memory serves me right I think that cm kanged expresso rom had the feature to play notification out of the speaker when headphones were plugged in. Cm6 might have that feature too. I'm not sure though.

So CyanogenMod-6 might have improved on this? [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755118&highlight=kanged]
Sounds exactly like what I was looking for and this is a Froyo build too? Thanks slinky, I'll give it a shot!

honestly if its only a problem when you plug your phone into the car, just put your phone on vibrate or turn the notification off.
Yeah this is honestly the one thing buggin' me right now.
I walk to work it's about a half hour walk to and from and I don't give a damn about my notifications during that time. Hah.
I have recently bought the Droid X about a week ago. Being that this is
my first Android device, i am quickly learning what works well and
what doesn't work so well. I am an ex-iPhone user and the one thing it does
well is iPod and bluetooth integration. I struggle with this on my
Droid X.
Seems the software isn't up to snuff especially when playing my
podcasts so i use Google Listen for this across the Bluetooth protocol. The problem is that when a phone call comes in I can take it on BT but when I end the call, the stock music player app starts up as well as Google Listen(app that was currently playing). Neither knows who is the boss apparently. A similar thing occurs when starting the vehicle as the stock music player starts but not Google Listen. So I have to stop the music player and then start Google Listen. A royal pain to say the least.
Now the really interesting thing is that the stock music player WILL play my synced podcasts but will always restart the podcast from the
beginning which sucks if you are in the middle of a 2 hour podcast.
Having said all that I know that the bluetooth issues are known with DROID X but what about other solutions. What about alternate Roms? Would this offer any better solutions to problems like these? Why does one load alternate roms? To solve problems, gain new functionality, what?
I have the 2.2 OTA update. Can you update the rom from this state and
more importantly can you get back to stock VZ.
I have done the iphone jailbreaking and nor could always go back to stock OS.
I would appreciate some info on this as I would love to be able to
start resolving some of my issues if possible.
Thanks in advance.

I know that I am going to get blasted 4 this - custom roms are not going to solve any issues. They only create issues. Just read some of the threads. They are fun (to me). But the ones created for the X don't add functionality - they actually loose functionality. No panoramic in the camera. No dnla. Not hdmi out. For most people - who cares about that stuff? But they aren't created to fix blue tooth issues. They are cut down to be light and fast and themed - rooted, deodexed, zip aligned, and optimized. But I haven't seen them resolve any technical issues.
Just my opinion though. I await the thrashing from the rom crackheads. Bring it
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I agree with thepolishguy. They just add issues...
Thanks for the honest and sincere replies. I may look at rooting when the need arises as I understand there are a couple of popular apps that require this. I may have questions that need to be posted and will do so at that time.
Thanks again.

This is only slightly on topic but I was using GMaps to navigate today and had a call.. turns out my 'navigator narrarator' doesn't know what interrupt means.. does the caller hear the announcement as well? It's one thing if I can vaguely hear her, but when I can't hear the caller at ALL.. it is a bit frustrating. Guess I'll not take calls when I know a turn is coming up..
Hi guys! I have an issue.
When I use my original earphones that came with my HD2 everything is perfect. The music plays and never gets interrupted, but as soon as I plug in ANY other headphones or earphones, and try to play some music, it starts skipping around, stopping, starting, pausing, cahnging songs etc.
The problem is that this happenes in EVERY single OS and ROM. That being WM 6.5, WP 7/7.5, Android etc. I spent about a 100$ on proper headphones (senheiser hd218) and I don't want to use the original headset JUST because of this issue. I don't know what to do. I searched throught the whole forum and found some people with similar issues to mine, but noone had given a proper answer.
Is disabling the headset controls possible in the new YukiXbmod WP 7.5 ROM, cause I know from previous expirience, that this helps (It was possible in Android)? And EVEN after freezing the stock music player and the headset commands in the player i'm using it tends to pause and play again every now and then (In Android, which was the ONLY one that kept the phone behaving for the most part).
I'm desperate. Please help me! Thanks in Advance!
surprising how often this comes up in conjuntion with senheiser phones. As you found there are a few threads like this, and (from memory) senheiser comes up in most of them. I have senheisers too, and they make the phone go crazy on winmo, but fine on android.
I really hope some one post here with a definitive answer cause you are right it is several threads that discuss this question but none have a definitive answer. I myself had this issue with my HD2 for a period of like one week. Any headphones I plugged in would cause the music player to go crazy. It would even turn the music player on as soon as I plugged headphones in. It would skip doings, lizard and restart the song, or just get stuck in a Vicks of playing like 3 to 4 seconds of the song and then pausing it for 3 to 4 seconds then play and pause, play and pause.
What I did to fix this was to run a Task 29 and re install cLK and then reinstall my ROM then restore just my data from a Nandroid backup. I did this three times in one week because the issue kept filming back. But after the third time it never returned. But I can not say that this is the definitive fix for this as I think I might have just gottin Lucky and it did not come back.
Now this thread looks like a good place to discuss this problem too. I had another problem with the music player in Android on my HD2. It would double every song I had in the list of songs in the music player. This would cause it to play songs twice before going to another song when I had shuffle on. I have also experienced this issue with my HTC Sensation. Now this is what I have found in my research of what causes this problem. Now when I say research I mean my own research with my device and things that I do with my device as I could find nothing anywhere about anyone else having this issue. So I literally came across the suspected reason for this by myself. What I noticed is if you just turned off USB mass storage on your device and unpmuged the USB cable without ejecting the device from the computer. ( You know when the computer says save to remove) This is when I would see the problem. Now a simple reboot would always fix this issue but it was a very annoying issue. I also totally reformated my 16 gig SD card nd have not seen the problem again on my Sensation.
Hope you get an asset to your question, and I hope this post might help others with the issue I mentioned.
It must be something hardware wise, and not software wise, just like I said. I am running WP7 Mango atm, and both my SD cards got locked up (silly me, should have studied up on this better) so I'm STUCK on WP7 and won't be able to test Android nor WM 6.5, as WP7 is the ONLY thing that can read my cards . But anyway, I have never heard about your issue. There are some bizzare things around the HD2 Headphones. It might just be a factory defect, which I HOPE is fixable, because I've had my HD2 in almost an year now and I doubt I will be able to return it. Do you think the problem might be caused because I have dropped my phone several times, where one of them was on asphalt while I was running to catch the Bus ( which was the wrong one )?

Like I said, Android keeps the phone behaved because some ROMS are unable to recognize the commands that the Headset gives. And if you disable those commands in the Music player you're using (say Power AMP) and Freeze or uninstall the Default Music player, you have pretty much solved your problem.... for the most part....

Oh I don't think it is hardware related cause if it was this forum would be flooded with threads on it because it would be more frequent. I believe it is software related, cause me running a Task 29 and re flashing my ROM did fix the issue for like you are having on my HD2.
Also I forgot to mention that with my other issue I reformated my SD card when I had the issue on my Sensation. I mean it is the 16 gig SD card that came with my HTC HD2. And I have not seen the issue anymore on my Sensation. I will add this to my last post.

That I can not say, and in that case your issue might be a hardware related issue. Sorry o hear the Task 29 is not the fix for you. I guess that just goes to show that the cause of the issue could be both.

Yeah, but we still didn"t get a definitive answer!
So, I'm at my wit's end. I've had multiple chats with highly belligerent Google staffers who, because they don't recognise an error, refuse to help. They also won't let me return my 6P and I'm pretty close to desperation.
Essentially, my 6P just won't play podcasts without the audio continually dropping out (it goes silent, but playback continues). To get audio back, I need to unplug / replug my headphones multiple times, pause / play multiple times / sometimes restart entirely. There's a subtle click whenever this happens. This occurs with podcasts downloaded via PocketCasts and DoggCatcher and books via Audible. It happens regardless of which player I use - even if I sideload the files into Google Play Music.
It doesn't seem to happen with music files but, come on, an mp3's an mp3. My suspicion is that it's happening with long files. Maybe I should try some opera.
Google essentially say that files like podcasts and sources like the BBC aren't supported. It's CRAZY for a flagship like this. They insist the phone is fine without taking a physical look at it. They flat-out refuse to let me exchange it.
So what the hell do I do? Podcasts are, by a large margin, the thing I spend most time using my phone for. Without that very basic functionality, the 6P is next to useless for me.
Do I have to take legal action?
Legal action? I bet your success rate would be close to 0% on that.
Factory reset or reflash the stock images.

I guess it may come to that?! I'm just dumbfounded by their response, which amounts to "you're using it wrong". It's not remotely what I've come to expect from Google and the overall tone is simply hostile and callous. I'm really shocked by it, to tell you the truth.

I troubleshoot software and hardware for a living. You've got to look at it from their perspective:
*no known issues other than yours (my guess - have to check bug tracker
*inability to replicate
*isolated issue
*not HW related
*not SW related (see bulletpoint one)
It's not that they DON'T want to help you, it's just based on the information provided and lack of other users having the same problem, they have nothing to resolve your issue with. Now if other users start reporting the same thing? Software issue that will get flagged on a bug tracker and possibly added as a bug fix in a future update.

Oh, god, I completely understand. But surely, in the interim, they should offer to RMA the device rather than simply saying: "Meh, your problem"? I mean, they're famous for being great to deal with - why this sudden lack of concern?
Inability to replicate surely means getting the questionable device in hand and testing. It's not enough to say that other devices work fine so mine should work fine too.

Which app are you using to play podcasts?
Have you tried another? I use Pocketcasts every day and have no problems whatsoever.
EDIT: Have you also tried a different pair of headphones? Not all headphones work well with the 6P.
Put this thing on reddit and hope for a ****storm.
It sounds to me like what you're experiencing is a compatibility issue, not a phone issue. I don't see how/why they'd replace a handset in that situation.

PocketCasts primarily (which is why I'm sure it's a fault with my hardware - because people like your good self are fine!), but also DoggCatcher. I've also sideloaded the files into Play Music and the problem persists. It also happens with Audible. And, yep, I've tried several pairs of headphones. SIGH.

You mean that podcasts aren't compatible with the 6P? I don't follow. I'm using apps like PocketCasts, DoggCatcher and Audible - nothing odd! The problem also occurs when I sideload the files into Play Music.

I guess I'm going to have to. I'm just dumbfounded that, being unable to help, they're not prepared to swap it out for another device - ESPECIALLY considering the absurd RMAs that people were submitting a few weeks ago. I saw one guy say he was on his 5th unit. I mean, come on...

Bingo! I see this every year with Nexus. Not to say it doesn't happen with other phones, but Nexus seems to attract more AR, paranoid users than any other. I'm not surprised they're trying to minimize exchanges in some cases.
If you haven't done an FDR, I would suggest that you do, and restore nothing. Install Pocketcasts and see if the issue persists.
Or.... Tell them there is a slight bulge over the volume rocker and they will exchange it. It's a "known issue" I was told by Google this very thing. And was told I could exchange if I wanted.
I had a similar thing happen on my @voice reader app and was able to correct it by setting the "between paragraph" delay to 0 ms from the standard 300 ms. Something about the way Marshmallow handled that slight break in audio focus caused it drop from bluetooth and speaker playback. I don't know if your podcast apps have the ability to speed up playback, but it might be worth a shot.
I had the same issue with pocketcasts. The only fix was a reboot. I haven't tried to listen to them on 6.0.1 yet. But I've only had that issue twice. Reboot helped.

Yeah, it's pretty constant for me. I'm trying yet another pod catcher to see if that helps. I'll report back if it does. But I'm SURE it's nothing to do with the apps. Like I say, even if I sideload the files into Google Play Music, the problem persists.
Anyone know whether a bulge at the bottom is RMA-able even after the 14 days (I was one of the meh-okay-nothing's-perfect people)? I guess I could say it's developed recently??
I have a similar issue listening to Tune In radio whether live, or a recorded show. I have chalked it up to my headphones cause they're pretty Sh!tty and on their last leg. Audio keeps counting down but no sound. Unplug, replug, hit play and I am on my way again.
Are you sure it is not the headphones, have you tried with a bluetooth speaker or headset?
It will work. The bulge thing. I have screen shots of the conversation with Google telling me it's nothing to worry about and if it got worse it would be covered and I would get a new device. Can't post pics yet, my account won't let me.
Yep, definitely not the headphones. I've tried three pairs now. Thanks, though!

This is really weird, I use doggcatcher, pocket casts, black player, and Poweramp and they all didn't have this issue. I listen to podcasts almost daily usually on pocket casts.
Is there one particular podcast I can try that you see there issue with our is it pretty much any one you try?,

Type of pause?
How long is pause?
Is it clipping?
Is it at a high volume?
Do you have any type of mono or Bluetooth apps installed?
Are you using WIFI or mobile connection for streaning?
Does it occur at certain locations or everywhere?
*Do you use OK GOOGLE or any similar Voice activated apps?
*Check your NOTIFICATIONS! Try changing SOUND NOTIFICATIONS to VIBRATE for all apps by going into sounds & notif in settings.. Change MODE to vibrate.
*Also try playing in AIRPLANE mode & do not disturb
*Does it occur when streaming to a tv or media device?
With these questions we can rule out various "connectivity" issues or interference as WELL as apps fighting for control over speaker or microphone, for notifications etc. As there are many
You should find the cause as with almost all media streaming apps most have options to go into a do not disturb mode as other apps utilize the same reaources resulting in conflicts like you described! After changing to VIBRATE notification mode and/or AIRPLANE mode, it becomes just a matter of narrowing down offending app.. Until then it will work at least!
