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.
Randomly while the line in is plugged into the headphone jack and listening to pod casts through BeyondPod, or pandora, the music app will start and over ride the other apps.
It usually happens when the screen is off, and I move the phone. Is there a hotbutton for the music player I am missing somewhere? Thanks, SHane.
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.
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.
I'm finding with the stock music player a weird issue. it starts a new song, will play approx. 1 sec, stop, and start playing the song from where it left off. This happens quite often. Anyone else have the issue ?
