I tried using navigation with Pandora playing last night for the first time and ran into a strange issue. At first I was very pleased: the navigation voice prompts interrupted the music and the music continued after the prompt was finished. However, a song came on that I know pretty well and I noticed that I was only getting part of the music -- some of the instruments were gone, as if they were on the left channel and all that was playing was the right channel, or vice versa. (I was just using the built-in speaker, as I don't have a means yet for playing through my car's audio system, so I don't know whether the left or right was actually missing or not.)
Anyone had a similar problem? Assuming it's consistent, to whom should I report the bug? (I'm not sure if it's a Pandora problem or a Nexus One/Android 2.1 problem.)
I am new to the forums so hello everyone!
I am also new to the whole rooting business, but after much research have rooted my incredible and installed froyo. I noticed though when I am listening to music and running the navigation program, whenever its telling me a direction, it stops the music and I have to manually go back to the player and unpause it.
Before updating, it would mute the music (while the song still progressed), say the directions, and then unmute the music automatically. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue or if it is a setting I just need to change?
Thank you and glad to be here!
Same issue with a UK Desire and no resolution yet I'm afraid. Does it with Google Maps and Copilot.
I'm having this issue too. Does anyone know a way around it?
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.
Hi, I am having some GPS navigation issues and I just wanted to see if anyone could shed some light. I am running deck 1.0 with tiamat 3.3.7, which I just went back to from 1.2 hoping it would solve this, but no luck.
The issue is, I get a GPS lock with GPS status, then I use sprint telenav and it loses the lock. Google Nav locks on immediately. However, I use my phone to listen to music in the car all the time, and Google Nav has a problem on gingerbread from what I understand in which the music gets muted but the nav voice is silent. Without music playing the voice is fine. Telenav's voice works fine when music is playing, but for some reason telenav is treated as "media volume" so you cannot adjust the volume of the voice relative to the music you are listening to, they are the same volume control. Google nav allows the navigation volume to be adjusted. So, I'm kind of stuck- telenav does the voice fine, but no GPS lock, Google nav locks GPS perfectly but no voice. Any ideas on a fix or one of them? I don't care which I use, as long as one works! Thanks.
Try downloading GPS Status from the market and use it to delete the A data
open GPS Status menu-tools-manage A-GPS state-reset and then download the A-Data file
This fixed the lock issue with my google maps and nav after flashing Ultimate Driod 3.3.1 with the Tiamat 4.0.3 kernel
Thanks, I use GPS status constantly, and it showed a lock, but sprint nav was losing it. I just did the driver replacement and it seems to be working, going to test it on the way home. Does anyone know a fix for the Google navigation voice issue when music is playing? Sprint navigation's voice level cannot be adjusted, so if a song is quiet and I need to turn it up, then the nav voice is screaming. Google allows you to adjust "navigation volume," which is separate from the media (music) volume, but as I said, the voice doesn't work if music is playing, even though the music gets muted and the nav volume is up.

I just read something about that being a hardware problem with the Evo, I don't think there is a fix for it but you may Email kushdeck and ask him if it's something he may be able to fix in his rom.

Which issue is a result of a hardware fault?

It had something to do with not being able to get a gps fix while playing music on the Evo. I just read someone else's post and thought I'd mention it.

"If you're having gps problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems and getting a lock ain't one" lol
Try updating to the latest tiamat 4.0.4 and maybe cm7 #86 nightly GPS is promised to work! You could also nandroid to sense and do the "fix" and boot back to decks.

Im pretty sure that kushdeck's Evo Deck 1.2t is based of that CM7 nightly and brings the same fixes and changes but i could be wrong. He can get a gps fix but cannot play music and get turn by turn directions simultaneously.

Have you ever tried doing any of this on a sense based rom or on the stock sense? I'm not that knowledgeable on too much, I saw the problem you were having in the thread post and thought I would share what i had recenctly read on the Evo Deck post. You may want to share your problem on that thread. Maybe someone with more insight on such things will be able to help you.

I've done the sense fix before- the issue isn't not being able to get a lock, it is sprint nav not getting a lock, even after gps status shows the gps is locked on. I also have faster fix set to use the north america server.
google nav is locking, but the lack of voice directions while playing music is the issue. I understand it has something to do with the audio architecture of gingerbread and implementing lower latency audio, although I have no specifics on that as I don't know much about the way android handles audio. I do know that on froyo it was not an issue.
I just flashed deck 1.2t and tiamat 4.0.4 and it seems good so far, sprint nav got a lock without me using gps status, but I was sitting on my couch. I'll test it on the road. mapquest works pretty well too- it gets a lock (or seems to, there's no indicator) and the directions seem good, but if sprint will work then that's the one I really want to use.
Hopefully the tiamat 4.0.4+deck 1.2t will have solved the issue. Thanks for the responses.
That's interesting about not being able to get a lock while playing music. I don't usually have music on yet if I'm setting the GPS, but it may all be related. I'd love to see a way for sprint nav to have it's own volume adjustment separate from the media volume that also controls the volume of music. mapquest is the same though. I'm not really sure why google nav has a navigation volume and the others don't.

I used sense on froyo, first rooted stock sense then warm 2.2, and I didn't have any GPS lock issues or navigation issues. However, too many other things I like about gingerbread to go back to froyo...I used warm 2.2 to do the ##gpsclrx# fix, and the gps was working well, it is only recently it stated having these issues, since going to gingerbread. I'm sure things will continue to iron out, I have high hopes for the latest deck+tiamat combo. I'll report back tomorrow once I've had a chance to try it "in the field."
I know the sprint telenav supposedly has some weird issues with cm7( or aosp based roms). I wasn't even aware you could play music while using the sprint telenav.

I'm glad to know you've made some progress and hopefully that will be the end of your gps/navigation trouble. I intend to update to 1.2t also but im thinking about trying out the godmode v8 kernel.
Sent from my Decked out Evo
I was using godmode kernel last week, but I really missed SBC. We'll see, my phone was thoroughly wiped this time. I'm having a few weird app restoring issues, we'll see what's up with that, titanium isn't playing nice today or something. The fun of aosp is in the fixing! I use linux too, so I guess I'm a glutton for punishment...helps my critical thinking skills though.
I may have made a breakthrough just now, I will test it when I leave for work at 1:30. It seems that the google navigation volume issue only occurs with certain music players. I was using mixzing because I need to be able to browse folders. It was reported that the stock music app did not cause this behavior with google nav, nor did some others. I downloaded meridian player, which has folder functionality also, and through headphones the google nav came through loud and clear and then the music resumed. If this remains true then I am happy. sprint navigation is still not locking, even though GPS status was showing a lock accurate to 4 meters, google nav and mapquest both locked right on. So, that's where this is at right now. I'll report back later.
I never even thought to ask you what music player you were using, however I was going to suggest using a different one. I just assumed you were using the stock android music app.
I've heard others complain about having issues with titanium backup on this rom as well. I myself have never had any issues with it so far (knock on wood). I have the pre version but that shouldn't matter. I have had problems with with other apps and the rom itself, but that was from not doing a complete wipe before flashing to a newer version. Now I always wipe everything because setting things back up to the way I like them is better than my phone being buggy.

I just noticed the low voice volume on Google Nav while playing music on PowerAmp. I use my ROOTED Evo's Nav daily and I rely on it. G.N. and P.A. Worked fine together the first half of my day, then I went for it and I did the Rooted GB update during my lunch and noticed the lack of volume on the voice guidance that interrupts the music while running together right away. I have not tried any other players yet since I love the quality of PowerAmp. I'm going to ask around but as for now I'm going to assume that some of these music players have not had the chance to update for GB yet.. Unless anyone here has a fix for this I have not read about yet?? if so please let me know. otherwise I will wait for an update.
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.
Issue with all music playback on any app

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.
