Froyo and Music Problem - Droid Incredible General

I noticed that when my music is playing, either through the stock player or Pandora, and a call come in/out the music stop. I mean stop not pause or mute. I have to get back into the music app to start it again.
Same thing happen with Google navigation as well. Spoken direction comes up and music stop completely and does not resume.
True for voice search also.
Basically if there's any sound/notification comes out of the device, the music stop and won't resume.
I am on the RUU, wonder if the OTAs are the same.
I am hopping it's just me, but if this is true...SOMEBODY DROP THE BALL! Big time.

I've noticed that with Navigation, but not with calls.
This was on Skyraider 2.5.2.

Music playback stops when using GPS navigation

I've noticed recently that after the Android 2.2 update for the Droid Incredible my music just stops completely while using Google navigation. I have to manually start the music again from its paused state every time the navigation system starts to speak.
With android 2.1 I used to be able to have the music playing and then when the navigation app needed to speak it would either just mute my music or pause it then speak and afterward resume the playback.
Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm not rooted btw with the stock rom from the Ruu that was released.
Has anyone noticed this?
Should I have just posted this in the Q&A section instead of general?
I've seen this as well, but not in every case. For example, music stops playing in Pandora, but continues in Mixzing. I'm not really sure who's the culprit in this case.

Emptied my wallet for bTune.
bTune works fine with Google Navigation and Calls, but won't works with Google Actions.
It just keep on going regardless.
Battery life is the only thread that keeping me from going back for now, to 2.1 that is.
I have noticed the same thing when using Pandora. It's a little annoying. The only work around I've found so far is to mute the navigation voice over. Not my favorite solution but the only one I have at the moment.
I've noticed this as well when using Pandora. I'd love to see a fix for this.
When I ride my motorcycle I usually have one headphone in and use Google Navigation if I am going somewhere beyond what I can memorize for directions. The bonus was that I would also run Pandora over the headphones, but no more.

[Q] How do I browse the web and play music at the same time?

Hey gang, new TF owner here. I want to play an MP3 in Winamp and surf the net at the same time. How come every time I go to switch applications (by leaving Winamp running, I just hit the home button to start a new app) - the music stops playing.
I'm a little disappointed that I haven't figured out how to do this yet. Anyone have this figured out?
I don't know about WinAMP, but I use the Google Music app and the music doesn't stop when switching apps.
Winamp also plays music in the background, regardless of app switching. Even continues playback even while the screen is turned off, if I recall.
Mine doesn't stop or exit music keeps playing and a notification is added to the bar.
I can confirm on my tablet, Winamp does not keep playing when I switch apps. If it matters, I am using the headset port. Maybe I'll try it without the headset and see if it does.
Maybe the headset port shuts off when the screen goes into sleep mode.
Ok yes, when I am NOT using the headset port, apps play in the background. However, when I use the headset port, the music shuts off when the app is switched (and also when the screen goes into sleep mode).
What's up with that?
I haven't tried Winamp specifically, but every other music app plays in the background no problem with or without headphones plugged in. Music, TuneIn Radio, and iHeartRadio are three that come immediately to mind.
I just download Winamp so I can test and WITH headphone I can multitask and listen to music just fine.
Music still play when screen shut off also.
My built in music player is the same way.

[Q] Music playback pausing randomly.

I had this problem with my S2 and I thought it was either the hardware failing or a problem with the custom ROM, but my new S4 with stock software has the exact same problem and it's driving me mad..
If I'm listening to stored music, the playback will pause randomly. The phone can be sitting untouched on a desk or in my pocket, and it will just pause, sometimes once in several hours, other times every few minutes. It doesn't coincide with any other events on the phone such as messages arriving or it switching networks. The music starts again as soon as I unpause it. It doesn't do this with streaming music, only music that's stored in the phone or on an SD card. It does it when I'm using either headphones or the speaker. Any ideas how to fix this, as it renders the phone useless as a music player.
Try to turn off automatic rotation.

google music pauses randomly, often.

I've looked around and this was common awhile back, last year, haven't seen any recent posts about it though.
when i play music through google music app on my G2 it will pause randomly, and pretty frequently. it will go through stretches where it auto pauses every like 5 seconds, as soon as i unpause and set phone down it pauses again. then it will be fine for a few songs then states pausing again.
this happens when streaming over wifi, or cell signal. also while playing music that is stored directly on my phone so no streaming issue. also happens while connected over bluetooth, headphone jack, or just playing from phone's speakers, so no bluetooth or headphone jack connection issue.
is there anyway to stop this?

I am having the exact same issue. Multiple sets of headphones as well. This is kind of a scary thing for me since I plan to use my phone for some of the playlists for my wedding.
No update...?
Im having the same issue as well. Songs will randomly pause. Youtube does too. Any suggestions? I have tried 3 finger swipe to 'save the app' and reducing active programs. Happens with bluetooth and headphones.

Spotify Issues / Notifications disappearing / music not stopping phone calls

Is it just me or anyone running Spotify notice that there seem to be some bugs recently...
I noticed that the Spotify notifications disappear every once and awhile while music is playing. I'm wondering if this is something that was introduced into 6.0 or what. Anyone have any ideas? I can open spotify check back an hour later and it's still playing but I have to switch back to the app and the notification comes back. This is pretty frustrating when trying to stop the music from running. It can also happen after 20 minutes it seems...
Another issue is that I receive a phone call but the music starts playing in earpiece or bluetooth while the phone is occurring. Combine this with issue 1 and you have a difficult situation here...
I have had the notification disappear once or twice, but more commonly I am using the phone and swipe Spotify out of my recents (I do it A LOT on accident because I my recent apps clean) and it will continue to play. I have to then open Spotify and wait for it to show what is playing at the bottom, then swipe it out again and it stops.
Last night was the first time I've had it mess up with a phone call. I was in my car and it was dark and raining, I was driving downtown and not really wanting to talk on the phone anyway, but I hit answer on the handsfree in my car. The music started playing through the phone audio in my car. My car only has bluetooth for phone calls so I use a bluetooth A2DP dongle to feed the 3.5mm line in port on the stereo. The music was clearly playing over the phone because it was of much poorer quality than the A2DP device. I only let it play for a second or two before I hung up on the person because it was probably BLASTING on their end.
I don't get a ton of phone calls, let alone when music is playing, but that's the first time I've had that particular issue.
I also get this strange thing where sometimes when playing bluetooth and disconnect it will start playing out of my stereo which can be embarrassing if you're at work! All the issues seem random so hopefully they go away or get patched.
Ditto, I am having a ton of issues with Spotify on my N6P. Music just stops playing, I have to open the app, hit pause and then hit resume for it to start playing sound again.
I am also having the same issue with music playback suddenly stopping. I have to pause it and hit play again. But it then stops playing again every 30 seconds. I am using an aux cord in my car but frankly I am quite annoyed.
I’m having the issue with the lock screen widget/notification disappearing sometimes, it's especially annoying when in my car and I want to skip/repeat a track and the widget disappears. My guess it's a marshmallow issue and should be fixed with an update to the app.
similar issues for me here now. guess we just need to wait for an app update.

My Spidey senses tell me is has something to do with doze, my N6P stops Spotify every time it's put into my pocket, recent Spotify update hasn't fixed anything???

Doze won't activate if your phone is in your pocket. It only triggers when the device is sitting completely still for some time. I have had Spotify repeatedly pause itself when my battery was very low (<10%) before, though. I would press play and as soon as the screen shut off, it would pause again. I didn't turn off battery optimization for Spotify explicitly yet, but mine doesn't seem to be acting up as much as it was before.
It just occasionally removes the ongoing notification but launching and exiting the app again restores it every time.

I have the 6p and now music will randomly stop playing with any music app if connected via 3.5mm.
Same issue here with music still on phone calls.
Use Pioneer BT head unit in the car and stream Music and Calls over it. Use Spotify premium with all music offline.
I have posted on the Spotify forums but so far have not seen any replies that will fix the issue.
One person recommended uninstalling and reinstalling the application, however I don't really want to have to download 6GB of music again...
I am also experiencing these issues. Waiting on updates to Marshmallow and/or Spotify to fix them... It is quite frustrating though.
i've now experience some similar issues. just waiting on an update like everyone else.
I've had the disappearing notification, as well as audio dropouts while listening via wired headset and Bluetooth (though that one might be caused by Viper4Android - not sure)
My Spotify + Nexus 6P issue is when I'm listening to music and then I press the app drawer. I momentarily lose sounds for a very short period of time, not even a second, split second maybe. Though it is intermittent, it kinda bugs me out.
