I have a 2013 Volkswagen and can't seem to get Bluetooth media controls responding correctly. Everything plays/pauses just fine when I control it via the phone itself while connected to Bluetooth, but if I try to use the car's touch screen pause/play, sometimes it will pause for 2-3 seconds then start playing again by itself, sometimes it will pause as normal, but then pushing play won't resume playback. If a notification plays, playback pauses for the notification, then never resumes. Coming from a VZW gnex running CM10.2 and everything was working as expected with that device. Tried the LG music app, ES media player, google play music, beyondpod -- also tried disabling the LG Music app. Everything seems to have the same issue. Anyone else have any problems with this and maybe found a workaround?
Thanks.

Hey everyone, just upgraded to the atrix, loving the phone so far but I've recently come across an issue and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem (or can explain why it occurs):
when listening to audio I turn off the screen and about 2-5 minutes in (sometimes more, sometimes less) the audio just stops. The headset doesn't disconnect, the music just cuts out and when I bring up the music player and hit play it just starts it over from the beginning. However if I leave the screen on the entire time I'm playing audio, it never cuts out
I use a motorola S305 bluetooth headset, the files are .mp3 format and I've tried playing them from SDcard and internal phone storage..they played perfectly fine on my HTC HD2 with the same headset so it's not the files themselves or the headset. Anyone else have this issue?
Interesting. I noticed the same thing last night. Doesn't always do that, but I thought it was weird when it did. I'm using the same s305 headset.
I was just about to post this! it's so annoying. It will play fine forever until i turn the screen on to do something, then it turns off the audio like 3 minutes into the song. what's worse, it's not pausing it, it's stopping it. if you check the music player, the position on the song will be reset. very annoying for audio books!
I just tested it playing thru the phone speaker and it shuts off in about 3 minutes as well, doesn't seem to be related to bluetooth at all.
Is the player added to your ignore list in any task manager/killer?
Personally, i've tried 3 players, the stock music player,Mixzing and Poweramp. all three do exactly the same thing. No task killers installed, with the built in task manager, it's not added to the kill list. I'm rooted btw.
I am having a similar problem to this and I was just about to post, when streaming via bluetooth to my car stereo using Pandora, my phone will completely freeze and after maybe 1 min of freeze will do a complete reboot. I even restored phone and it still does it.
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.
It seems there are a lot of bluetooth issues with the Nexus 4. I couldn't find a thread with my issue, so here goes.
While streaming audio to my bluetooth car stereo, everything works great, the audio quality is good and the controls on the unit work. However, if I touch the phone screen to control the music instead of the stereo, the audio stops streaming 50% of the time, and won't come back on until I restart the bluetooth connection. An example is that I'm listening to Pandora, and I thumbs down a song, it skips, starts playing the song, but there is no audio. The bluetooth controls still work, just no audio. Same with YouTube if I skip to the next video in a playlist or skip the ad. Also in Play Music it happens, and even in Google Now. With Google Now, sometimes when I hit the microphone, it will just sit there initializing, and if I hit back and try again, it just stays initializing until I disconnect bluetooth, which it then turns on the recognition twice.
It is only from interacting with the phones screen instead of using the bluetooth device. I can't see it being the bluetooth device, anyone else have this issue?
Its not the phone its jelly bean. This issue has been adressed and will be fixed 'in the next version of android' that's what Google said but its a known issue and annoying.

Alright, thank you. I couldn't find anything on the internet, I kept getting different bluetooth issues.
Yeah hopefully it gets fixed sooner rather then later.

I am new to Android, I recently migrated from the iPhone, and am enjoying my Nexus 4 very much.
My Nexus would be nearly perfect, if I did not regularly experience an audio playback glitch.
Randomly, audio playback pauses. The audio sometimes pauses after just 2 minutes of listening, and at other times occurs after 10-15+ minutes of listening... with the screen off. The audio pauses when using any of my multiple pairs of headphones, and even via Bluetooth streaming audio. I believe the issue has also occurred when using the built-in speaker. The audio pauses when streaming via wifi networks and AT&T 3G.
The audio pauses when using the following music apps: Google Play Music, Spotify, SiriusXM, Beyond Pod.
Sometimes the audio resumes when I press the power button. Sometimes I have to unlock the device and the audio resumes. Sometimes I have to press "play" again from the App.
I would love to be able to play uninterrupted audio from my Nexus.
Note: The issue occurred on 4.2.2, and still persists on 4.3.
I have searched for a solution many times, in multiple sources, but have been unsuccessful. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
Often, while listening to music in my car, the audio will randomly, and spontaneously, pause for no apparent reason. Sometimes it will start up again after a few seconds, but usually I'll have to hit 'play' myself. This problem is particularly apparent in Spotify, but it has happened in YouTube and Google Play Music as well. Has anyone else experienced this?
Are you plugged in? My first thought is a loose (or breaking) 3.5 mm cord.
Playback in any of those apps will auto pause when a connection is lost (bt or a cord). If you're on bt do other phones do the same thing?

Nope, connected via BT to my car's audio system. Didn't have this problem on my OnePlus One.
This happened to me and I was paying through my speakers

The last two days I have this problem too.
Parrot carkit,Lg watch,ue megaboom.
The music is sometimes lost,and then it starts again.
On my megaboom it cracks a lot.
Very annoying.
Frank_Murphy,
I have this issue as well only with the Google Music app. I can't find the source where I read it but it has something to do with the app and if there is an available video; Some songs have a wallpaper or something and some you can play a music video in the app for the song instead. You just have to hit the back/forward button and it resumes.
