Stop Notifications From Interrupting Music - Nexus One General

I noticed on Desire roms that when a notification goes off while music is playing that the notification plays other the music so the music does not pause. However on Stock/Cyanogen instead that the music is silenced then the notification is played ruining the music experience. Is there anyway to get around this other than putting the phone on silent/vibrate?

ya this is SOO annoying. i get frequent emails and it just is irritating. a workaround would be nice. thanks for posting this.

The notification sound doesn't interrupt music here. I use CM 5.0.3.1.

+1 for this
I use my n1 as primary music player
Also wondering if anyone also interested having the trackball to be able to control music playback while the device panel is off. sliding the trackball will go reverse and sliding forward will fastforward.
Or even just pressing the trackball to change tracks.
I know all of this is possible with the stock headphones that come with the n1 but i dont use them. they are big and ugly imo. lol sorry to get off topic but i think this is kinda on the same wavelength

On stock nexus one, music pauses for notifications when using wired headphones but not when listen through bluetooth headset.

Whenever I use my stock my headphones, the music just seems to mute while the notification plays. I've noticed that most times, if not every time, the song has skipped a few seconds while muted, as if it were still playing while notification was playing. Very annoying.

That would be very cool....controlling the music with the Trackball during the display is off....wow

Only if it doesn't interfere with the Navigation. You do not want the Nav and Music playing together. The Hero does this and you can't hear the Nav Directions. Useless. So, yeah...if it doesn't interfere with the Nav.....it'll be a good idea!

Are you sure your phone isn't on vibrate or silent?

This is only happening with wired headset.
Use Bluetooth one and the notifications wont interrupt the music.

Does it play with the music or not at all?

You're lucky you didn't have a G1.
When plugged into my car, listening to music / podcasts, if a notification came in, the sound would be so freaking loud it would shatter my eardrums.
You'd learn fast to put it on vibrate...
Luckily, the N1 doesn't have the same volume difference problems.

Thing is I don't wanna have to put it on vibrate.

+2 Yes this would be a very nice.
It is so annoying since the Nexus has replaced my ipod on the daily commute.

over BT the notification will play WITH the music and not instead of the music.
With a wired headset the notifications will stop the music, please notification and resume music.

Music Playback pause when headphones unplugged.

Planning to get the X1 soon but just wondering is there any music player for the X1 that would pause music when the headphones are unplugged? + also have sleep timer? Recommend some music aps please!
Thanks.
I would also like something that stops the music when the headset is unplugged.
Kinda embarrasing to sit in class and, by accident, unplugging the headset and spreading the tunes in the classroom.

This one turns the musicplayer on when headset is inserted.. Also the other way around. A very nice player.. And freeware...
s2p looks like a nice alternative, however I prefer the multimedia panel.
It shouldn't be so hard to make a script or something for it?
My thought is that you have a program, script or whatever that detects if the headphones are unplugged and then mutes the phone. Should also work with A2DP bluetooth headset.
It would be a big plus on xperia, since media is its weak spot right now. Imho.

[IDEA] Audio notifications without interupting

I was thinking on the way in, as I got annoyed by my music getting interrupted to tell me I had a new gmail message, that it might be somehow possible to play alert tones without muting default volume. The official AIM app manages to do this somehow, and I've been told back in the day it didn't interrupt anything when an alert played, so I'd like to try to bring this back somehow.
My thoughts are that it should be doable either in the notifications code or the audio code itself. I'm planning to jump into the CM5 source head first tonight, but it would be nice to know where to go about starting looking - is anyone familiar enough with how this works to tell me if it's plausible, and which section of the code it should be in?
+1
this would be great! I mean, whats the point in a blinking red trackball, if it still interrupts music with the sound
Back in the RC29&30 days this was the normal behavior for Android. It was changed to the current action of pausing the ongoing music with RC33 (pretty sure). As much as I would love my music to not be interrupted, I prefer the current method to the old "mixing" method. Where it would just play both sounds at the same time (pretty annoying actually). What would be ideal to me is the way my SEM600i did it, when I was listening to music (or watching a video) it would just beep and vibe when an alert came in & the music continued to play. This way I knew something was happening (be it a call or message) and could check my phone if I wanted, or keep on listening uninterrupted.

I agree with this. Would love a simple beep rather than the whole notification tone.
id prefer a dim of the music volume then the tone, when it stops altogether its quite annoying especially in my car with the speakers up. if it just dimmed the sound down to give the notification preference it wouldnt be so disturbing and it wouldnt go loud silent super loud silent loud every time i get a text

This would actually be ideal, I'm going to look into it and see if it's possible to do this.

I think is is ideal as well but I am not sure if Apple has a patent on that. No other phone that I know of uses that except the iPhone.

I had an SE phone that did that sometime ago... And i am pretty sure that Nokia N95 8GB also does it...

[Q] Is there a way to listen to a music player while playing a game?

Sometimes i wanna listen to music while playing a game but on opening any game my music player automatically goes off. Any suggestions?
weird question :
Probably a big no if the game is not made for that
Try it it's simple :
Launch a game
press home button
Launch a music player
relaunch the game and resume your party
Thanks but that doesn't work, I tried.
on a sidenote, does anyone notice that aside from when playing music the headphones that come with the play sound weird?
i use a bluetooth headset and i haven't experienced this. usually i turn off the notification and set it to vibrate. my music never stops even in switching games
It automatically turns off any music that you are listening to and plays the game music by default.

Try to turn off music in the game. Playing and listening music and have no such problem

Same here. Start the music playing. Open game. Mute the audio in the actual game not using the volume keys. Then the volume keys will control the music's volume

I haven't even taken those out of the plastic, so no comment from me. I'd personally recommend some Shure over-the-ear headphones, as the phone does a decent job pushing them.
So it's not possible..Poor design IMO.
Another reason to hate the stock music player.
Winamp works perfectly.

universal volume booster?

Is there a universal volume booster yet? I dont have a use for the ones that only work in one weird music app, I need one that works for everything because I use BeyondPod for podcasts and can barely hear anyone talking, I have to turn my car's volume to 90% which sounds like crap and has too much hiss (not to mention I switched to radio forgetting to turn the volume down and almost blew the speakers). The only apps I use are PlayerPro and BeyondPod, sometimes I'll use youtube for a song, very rarely I will use Google Music. Im sick of these damn Android phones and their useless AUX volume, I was able to get a little more volume with Voodoo sound on my last phone but this phone is going to drive me back to my old ipod.

headphone jack alert and music audio routing issue

Hi Guys,
This is my first samsung so maybe its a samsung thing, but when I listen to music on my phone everytime a new notification comes through either mail or sms or anything really that triggers a notification alert to make a noise it cuts my headphones and starts playing the notification and my music through the loudspeaker and then when the notification tone is done the music routes back in to the headphones.
It is really annoying and is there an app to fix this?
This is almost more annoying to people in the same room as me than it is to me.
I'm on the latest factory ROM, rooted.
Hi,
I had this problem too.. and found answer somewhere here. For example, SoundAbout solves this issue.

Thanks, I've used SoundAbout in the past to fix issues with a cheap knockoff chinese phone, I was hoping there was a better fix hah, that will have to do for now
If you are using a player such as poweramp you can stop this pause and resume by going into settings/audio/audio focus and change the settings to not pause and resume. It will play the music and notifications at the same time. Otherwise do the above steps and turn down your notification volume to 0 manually. You will still get notifications without interfering the music.
I haven't tried other players yet but worth looking into the settings for the same features
