So I'll be playing some random crap on the phone - and go to change the track on my headset. And it'll never go. It doesn't pause, go forward or go backward. As I'm typing this on the PC my G2 went to sleep, and I can now change tracks. Anyone noticing this?

Anyone ever have this problem, where the music player will stop or skip after you close the screen. It only happens when i put it my sweater pocket on both right and left sides. It had just started doing it and never did it like this before. I even tried restarting the phone to no avail.
Its the 'feature' of using the accelerometer to skip and rewind a track. Terrible feature in my opinion since I have yet to figure out how to disable it. Put it in your car, hit some bumpy road and have it flat on your seat and it will drive you nuts with skips, rewinds, and at times utter silence as it jumps from track to track.
If anyone knows how to turn off the feature on the music player, I'd be grateful.
Hmmm, thats what i thought was going on. However it never happened before that I can recall, I feel like i did "something" to enable it because i use advanced task manager to disable programs that i dont use, and i think i remember it hapening after a disable session.
Ok, I know there's a few posts around here about the crazy headset events being miscommunicated from headphones without controls.
(Just incase anyones unaware, some people are reporting that a regular pair of headphones with no mic or playback controls interferes with the music player and starts randomly skipping etc (extremely frustrating). This hasn't been fixed by HTC yet, but the app 'Headset Blocker' did the trick for me perfectly...)
...However it's back! But this time when playing video. It doesn't skip it just pauses and unpauses randomly.
So I'm on the train watching some tv shows through the stock video player and it pauses and unpauses all the time. When it pauses I just unpause it and maybe watch about 10-20 secs of video. but sometimes it unpauses by itself just before I try, so I end up pausing it again! This little game of silly buggers can get really annoying.
It's like the video player can see my thumb coming towards the screen to unpause it and then it unpauses just in time for me to pause it again......
AAAAArrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh the infuriating, frustratingly crazy madness....count to 10 ......and ....relax
Anyone (preferably HTC) with a solution will go straight to the top of my Christmas card list.
I have the same problem, when I connect the DHD to my auto radio!!! Anyone know if it is possible to disable the headset controls?
Thanks....
Your problem can be easily fixed with the app 'Headset Blocker' (as mentioned in my first post).
My problem is different from yours.
Thanks. Yes, it works.......should just read your post more carefull. Have you found a solution to the video playback?
Not 100% sure if this should be in Q&A or apps, but I'll take a shot...
I like using Music instead of NemoPlayer for some reason. I think it sounds better, however silly that may be. However, in shuffle mode (haven't tried it off shuffle), if the screen is off, when a song ends, it can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple minutes before the next song starts playing. As soon as I unlock the screen, the next song will start.
So I have a couple questions...
1. Obviously, is anyone else experiecing the same thing? and...
2. Is there an even better app for music listening? I tried Doubletwist, and while it does have a nice interface and I like the idea of the PC app and its sync feature, it (the PC app) kept crashing on my 120gb, 24,000 song iTunes library, so I uninstalled it.
I would like to start in shuffle mode too. If it's in Music, I haven't found it. I have to start playing a song, then I can turn shuffle on.

The delay switching songs sounds like the cpu was throttled down to the point it had issues. When the screen is on, the cpu doesnt throttle down so much.
Sorry to get a bit off topic, but what is battery life like listening to music on this tablet? By listening to music, I mean exclusively listening to it, not listening, browsing, and gaming all at the same time
You can go literally days only listening to music. I last charged it Wednesday night, and still have over 70%. I did a little surfing yesterday afternoon.
Oh, and I found shuffle... at the top of the song list.
The odd thing about the pause is that it doesn't do it if I'm listening to music using NemoPlayer.
Here is a similar issue. Infortunately without solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15759232#post15759232
Hope this helps.

During this week that I've been using the Q at my home I've found that it sometimes does not hold a consistent volume when it's being used, mostly when using youtube and playing music
At first it would be playing alright, but then it would suddenly lower the volume gradually until its muted (while the song/video is still playing), and changing the volume a bit would cause it to go all the way back or even higher than what it was..
Anyone else that already has a Q with the same problem?
sound is a huge part of any cell phone!!!
I've been using mine quite a bit since getting the application working last week and haven't noticed any of these problems. I do have a problem with the Google Play Music application not properly playing the tracks I want though. For instance I chose Artists - The Beatles - All Songs, chose a song to play and put it on shuffle but it's shuffling all tracks, not just The Beatles as I selected. This may be because I'm using two different devices (Xoom and Bionic) to control it at times but I'm not sure about that. I will have to reboot it and only use one device and see if I get the same results.
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.

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.
