[Q] Music pauses after every song

For some reason, if my transformer is on standby it will pause music at the end of each song. All I need to do to get it going again is press any key on the dock or if it's not docked just tap the standby button and it continues playing the next song in the paylist. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm running Primordial 3.1 US with stock kernel and using the Google music Player.
It gets really annoying when i'm trying to use it as a music player in my car and i have to hit a button every time i want it to play the next song...

Funny, I just got on the forum to post the same question. I am using the stock music player as well and just noticed this. I didn't get to play with my ASUS much before 3.1 came out but I'm pretty sure it did not do that before 3.1.
For now I just downloaded poweramp as a third party option... but it has some bugs that bother me more than the song stop issue.

Mine does the same, it ihas something to do with the update. Didn't happen before. It also doesn't happen all the time.

Interesting. As I'm reading these postings, I'm listening to music through my Bluetooth headset coming from my Transformer, which is attached to the dock and closed - thus in standby. I'm listening to song after song, just like I expect to. I'm using the google Music Beta application to play my music. On other occasions I've listened to stuff in the google cloud, while right now the music is resident.
Are you using the google Music Beta application? The one with the headphones icon?
Could it be I'm listening to 60's rock?
Bye.

Same issue here. It's rather annoying. I'm experiencing it on 3.1 official update.

I'm in Canada so I can't use the Google music beta but if I'm not mistaken its still the same application. Has anyone tried with the clemsyn kernel to see if its still happening?

This started happening after the 3.1 update. If it's that much of a bother, you can always drop down to 3.0.1.
It irritates the hell out of me as I use the TF as a music player in the car. I've gotten in the habit of blindly reaching down and tapping the power button twice when a song ends. Minor annoyance, but still an annoyance.
I'm also in the Google Music beta (cloud storage) and this issue doesn't happen when playing songs from the cloud. At least it didn't once. I usually just play what's stored locally.
I tried other music players and they all work well, but unfortunately I haven't found one written with a tablet screen in mind. Not that I'm a graphics whore, but a phone UI stretched to tablet size creates usability issues.

Yeah, I noticed that from google music too. I was streaming from the cloud service. Guess that's why it's still in beta...

Same thing here, from local storage.. not from cloud.
Give this a shot: http://launcherpro.com/music/
^ Obviously from the guy who made launcher pro. it's not tablet optimized, but it still looks and runs great.

This app turned my Transformer into a Zune music player. Has the exact same look and feel.
Nice little app and it does solve the "pause while screen off" problem.
Would be nice if the developer makes a Honeycomb optimized version.

I have the same issue where it pauses, kinda annoying

You probably dont have issues because your playing through Bluetooth.

Just downloaded and installed this, very nice interface, I have decided to use this as my default player as I had the pausing playback via HDMI at the weekend whilst the screen was off. I've also put the app on my MIUI HTC Desire HD.
Thanks for the recommendation.

[Q] Browser tab multitasking

Is there anyway to real-multitask in browser, eg. put nice song palying on youtube, change tab and still hear the song instead of pausing it! EVEN MY SYMBIAN PHONE DID THIS same for downloads!
I searched whole web but found nothing, cmon it can't be that hard??

I don't think this is possible, or they have to change youtube so you can hear it while your on another tab. but you can hear the music on the music player while browsing

Why would you play music from youtube of all the places? And in the background...on a phone? Theres just to many good options for doing that

youtube was an example, browser always freezes everyhing on other tabs

ICS bugs-list here!!

Hey guys!! I didn't see any discussion thread regarding the topic, so decided to create one.
One but that I have noticed is that an image artifact is created when you scroll the recent apps menu.
The second annoying bug that I have experienced and am experiencing currently is that when you have music playing in the background, when the song changes, the equalizer just turns off! You have to go back and turn it on again. I guess the sound fx gets killed automatically?
Anything you guys would like to add?

I never experience this "currently is that when you have music playing in the background, when the song changes, the equalizer just turns off! You have to go back and turn it on again" on all ICS roms i tried(nightly and stable.)

This is the stock update that I am talking about (iml77)

EOS v1.0 here.
Gmail's pop-up windows (when deleting messages, for example), aren't formatted right.

i have a weird problem where the last music played by any player gets restarted by any other player and you just can't switch songs. Only reboot works. Same with music streaming, only that never stops. It doesn't stream but keeps on reconnecting.
Annoying.

Keep it coming guys!!

While multitasking with the browser, the music stutters and stops , not always though,.
When scrolling through home screens, could see minute horizontal white lines on the photo widget.

Combine Box
Well I have one to share.
In stock e-mail I got 2 emails registered. Every time I try to enter Combine box. The program crashes. Force close. But this happens only if the secondary mailbox is empty.

Im actually facing a lot of FC's on the xoom recently while using youtube and music. There is also some lag while browsing through the youtube main window (the cylindrical home)

Soundcloud (non mobile) doesn't seem to work...

As it says... I wanted to listen to my incoming tracks today, but the play buttons justhighlight orange and then that's it. Mobile version makes me wonder why anyone would bother (No download, different tracks, having to go back to play next track etc...)
I'm on ICS with flashplayer 11, this is with dolphin HD and also ICS browser+ . . .

I just checked and I can play tracks using the play button from my Dashboard on the desktop version of the site on Dolphin HD.
I'm on LPF ROM with speedmod kernel
I usually use the soundcloud app though. I like the notifications you get, and the player in your notification area. It automatically plays the next track too.

Which version of Flashplayer are you using? I did see that someone else left a bad review about the latest update, saying that nothing but youtube worked in the browser (I've not found that to be the case, iPlayer works fine for me...)
EDIT:
Just downloaded the soundcloud app. Ugh... No download, no 'Dashboard' (only incoming songs, and not those which have been favourited by people you follow..)
In case you haven't guessed I have a serious dislike of 'Apps' which, roughly translated come down to 'annoyingly crippled versions of websites you frequent'..

Flash player v11.1.115.11
When I go into the play store there are no updates for it.
Maybe try clearing the cache and data for Dolphin and/or flash player...

[Q] Google Play Music [not] on lock screen

Hi all
Anyone here using Google Play Music?
Coming from a GN, I got used to the pure android stuff, Google Play Music being one of them.
I listen to music streaming from Google Music in my car on my phone (connected via 3.5 jack to my aux) almost every day, with the GN when I wanted to skip a song\pause\play I would've simply turn on the screen and use the lock-screen Google music thingie that popped there every time Google Play Music was running, but now it doesn't seem to be implemented into the s4, so I need to swipe down the status bar (considering I'm not using some kind of security lockscreen) and find the next\pause\play buttons among all the accidentally clickable stuff there... OR unlock the phone and use the Play Music app itself.
Now I'm not ranting about one more or less button to press here, really, it's just that while I'm driving every millionth of a second that my eyes are on the road counts, so I liked it the way it used to be, where I didn't even need to look at the screen..
Long story I know..
Anyway, any simple solution? or would I'll just have to get used to it?
p.s - not planning on moving to the stock music player as all of my music is in the Google Music cloud and I really like it that way.

Got the same issue. Sometimes it'll work fine, sometimes nothing on lock screen. Generally I find Google Play Music pretty damn annoying and horrible. Would love a solution as well.

Holy mother of all tits IT WORKS.. I just played a song and the damn thing is there in the lock screen looking at me..

Yep, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... Would love to understand why.

Does anyone know a solution for this? Perhaps another recommended music player?
