Wife and I both have Note 3's. My Note 3 makes it through about 1 or 2 songs and then disconnects from the Chromecast. This causes all music to stop playing and the Google Play Music app on the tv to return to the headphone start screen. I've compared all types of phone settings, wifi, etc between wife's phone and mine. I even did a factory reset on my phone, no change. My son's S3 has no issues, our Note 2's had no issues, only my N3.
Anyone else having these issues? More importantly know how to fix the Chromecast disconnect. Thx.

This may or may not work but in an old phone I had a similar issue with pandora. Hopefully this works but if you have an option for streaming for high quality, turn that on, then reset your phone right after and start the program and see if it works. Ib know it sounds completely illogical but it worked on that phone with pandora, maybe it will work with this

Using the program REGPON wifi keep alive, located in the Play Store, I'm now having disconnect free Chromecast playback. Appears it was an issue with the wifi going to sleep even though it was check marked to Always stay on in the advanced wifi settings.
Hope this helps someone else.

This helped my problem on the Nexus 7. It's such an odd thing that I need to use this though.
This problem is happening when I cast Netflix from Chrome on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite). Its incredibly annoying.

I've got a oneplus one running CM os 12. With Google play music this was the only solution that worked and I also had the wifi set to not sleep. Interesting, never saw any other signs of wifi going to sleep. It will be interesting to see if the battery usage is affected. I'm guessing it wont be.
Thanks a ton for saving the day. Really enjoying play music now.

1 - battery drain in standby shouldn't be significant but you can reduce it by turning off radios you don't need and/or reducing the update interval of any apps you have checking in the background.
2 - I'm not sure what's happening here, usually the wifi logo overwrites the 3g one so it is obvious which one is in use (at least it does on my UK SGT, might be different for CDMA). Either way switching on and off the various radios is easily done from the notification area, just swipe down from the top of the screen to show toggles for wifi, bt, gps, silent mode & orientation lock.
Edit: oops, I miss remembered, I don't know of an easy way to switch the mobile radio.
3 - I had a bit of a play with allshare day one but haven't had time to give it a proper workout yet.
4 - I haven't had mine run down that far but it sounds like a sensible power saving measure, better to see it dim for a while than bright for two minutes!
5 - the screen auto adjust in the display settings seems to help a lot. Other than that I've found the battery life to be very good for the most part. I tend to only switch on wifi if I have a big download to do so that might help in my case.
Welcome by the way, hope you enjoy the tab!

THANKS Bill! Appreciate the info/advice!
I guess I am getting confused between the 3g/ the strength bars. So if it doesnt say 3g but just shows signal strength then its probably using wifi?
Does anyone know if the SGT defaults to wifi first then to 3g? Just curious.

When wifi is on it turns 3g off. I use an app called tasker to save my battery. I have it set to turn wifi/3g off when the screen turns off, and if I place it face down it sets the device into airplane mode, left in this state the battery drains very slow when not in use. Tasker is not the cheapest app but you are only limited by your imagination what you can do with it.

i am actually trying to do both stream from the pc to the tab and then seperately stream from the tab to the tv or blu ray player and or pc and nothing works any which way? not sure how to get this to work?

AllShare is an app that you can use to connect to other Samsung AllShare enabled divices like TV's. I removed the app. It is completely useless. (It would be so nice if there was an app by which I could connect to my homenetwork.)

Not quite correct! It allows you to stream from/to other DLNA devices which includes some Samsung TV's, but plenty of other devices too.
For example, I use to it to stream from/to my PCs with Media Center.

OK so yesterday I hooked up my tablet to my stereo and pulled up the siriusxm website and was streaming from there. So everytime the screen shutoff so did the stream. I tried the app but I cant get it to work it keeps saying checking for updates. So my question is, is there someway to make the browser continue to stream with the screen off I had to set it to never turn off and it worked great but it does do a number on your battery. Any help would be appreciated.
try with dualweb, maybe.
mine streams from ghosttown with the screen off and docked and closed.
Online streams do this to me, though oddly with upnplay from my own servers, never a problem. Perhaps its a power/bandwidth setting devs put in for smaller devices need to save battery, by default.

No such problems using TuneIn Radio for Android. Continues to play, regardless of whether I tap the power button to sleep, let the sleep timeout elapse, or close the screen when docked. Also happily wakes up from sleep to play an online stream as an alarm clock.

Do you have your WiFi sleep policy set to never?
If you have it set to shutoff with screen off that might be it, not sure.
EDIT: OK I missed that you are accessing XM through the browser, yeah I think when screen goes off or when you're out of the browser
everything shut down.

I beleive the issue is with SIRIUS. Their app is not made for honeycomb and does not work.
If you do the webpage honeycomb is set to turn off the inactive page. I noticed that I even lose audio if I switch to a different tabed browser or application. To me it appears to be a honeycomb featured mixed with a sirius application bug.
Thank God I can listen NP on my EVO 3d

The application itself must tell the device not to sleep.
Have you ever noticed how when you install certain apps one of the permissions required is "Keep your Device Awake"?
This is why some apps keep playing when you turn the screen off. The browser however, cannot keep your Asus awake and when you turn the stream off it will stop.

I had this issue with Music, and now have it with Music Beta.
When listening to a song, when the screen timeout engages, the player will never go to the next song (but it will at least finish the current song). Probably a feature, but would be extremely nice to override that.
Changing the Wifi settings didn't seem to fix it; only removing the screen timeout did.
On the same topic, I guess, but is there a way to keep the Youtube app running in the background while using another app?
I guess another thing would be if theres a way to keep flash videos running while browsing another tab in a browser, but Opera and the stock browser don't allow that.
It's been very bothersome. I did look on the web and found this thread about it, but there hasn't been an all-encompassing answer yet.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...lay-music-stopping-when-screen-turns-off.html
I don't appear to be running into this issue. Used Note 3 to start a freebie song on Google Music to play on Chromecast and it continues to play when Note 3 screen times out or when I hit the power button manually. If you've rooted/modified your Note 3 then you probably want to reflash back to stock to rule out any issues that were introduced.
This might be a really pointless suggestion, but as I don't use any of those I'll take a shot in the dark:
Does this setup use WiFi? If so, is WiFi set to disable during sleep?
Bump bump
Anyone a clue? (Evident causes are already ruled out). Regpon wifi KeepAlive app is a solution but it pretty much drains the battery.

Check under Wi-Fi -> Menu -> Advanced if you have "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" set to Always. That (and the resulting Note 3 behavior and power consumption) might also be heavily influence by some of the power-saving / special broadcasting done in your WiFi router/AP.

I have no Chromecast yet, so I can not test that, but when those WiFi settings are set badly you either don't go to full sleep with the phone (and power consumption is large) or you go without the correct wake-up wifi stuff and then you miss radio packets.

Let's assume for simplicity that I literally tried everything on the Note when it comes to tweaking the WiFi setting (there's even a hidden settings menu, accessible by dialing *#0011#, in which you can set the WiFi Power saving off. That didn't work either).
So I know, theoretically you can speculate a lot but it won't help. There's something wrong with the Note or the play music app.
Sometimes the Play Music app force closes with a IllegalArgumentException, saying that a messagestream with namespace Ramp is already registered (that is definitely related to the chromecast API) . It happened a few times (very rarely though) when waking the device up when casting music via Chromecast.
But what was that about the Wifi router? What kind of parameters did you have in mind?
Same issue. All the settings on my phone are fine. Any other Chromecast supported app works regardless of my screen being on or off. WiFi on during sleep. Router configured properly... If I run Google Play Music from my desktop, and stream to my Chromecast I can play entire albums without a problem. On the phone, I can not. This is definitely a Note 3 problem.

Until today. I added the watch as one of my "trusted devices" so the phone stays unlocked when they're in range of each other, and it disconnected. Now when I try to reconnect in WiiWear, it crashes and disconnects again. I've forgotten the watch, removed it from "trusted devices," wiped cache, reinstalled WiiWear, etc, and it still crashes. HELP!

Sorry to hear about your issues. I'm considering buying one myself. Do you think this is mostly a problem with the watch (i.e. hardware) or something with the connection between the phone app and the watch software?
Also, if you don't mind taking a minute to tell me, what did you think of the build quality and general usability of the Y3?

I have the Y3, and the connection problem is very real. Until yesterday, I could not maintain any reliable connection between the watch and my phone. The Bluetooth would continually connect and disconnect, and the m2d manager and receiver were very quickly being killed after the the screen turned off. Then I stumbled on the cause. I was checking the app notification log using Google gesture and noticed an app called Battery Master posting silent notifications. This app does not show in the app list and is not accessible in any other settings screen. However, when I tapped on one of the notifications in the notification log, it took me to the info screen for Battery Master and gave me the option to disable the app, which I did. Bluetooth, m2d, and notifications have worked perfectly ever since. So far I have not noticed any significant difference in battery drain but it will probably take a few days to know for sure.
Build quality of the watch is excellent. I love the watch now that the connection issue is fixed. The display is awesome since there is no black band around the outside and no flat tire. I've installed the ClockSkin launcher which provides a better looking interface and allows installation of all the excellent LEM5 watch faces available from the G+ user group. Battery life for me (after disabling Battery Master) seems to be about 10 hours.

That's good to hear. You should definitely make a quick Youtube video about the fix, or even just a thread here on XDA. I bet a lot of people never discovered what was the cause of their connection issues and just returned the watch. One question though, does that fix persist through a reboot, or do you have to disable the Battery Master app each time you start the watch?
Please update us if your connection issues continue to be resolved with that fix (or not).

It's actually really good. It's a solid watch, and it has a lot of good uses. I wish it did work with apps like Google Fit and Sleep as Android though, but it's not really necessary as those work fine with just the phone as is. It is supposedly IP67-rated water proof, but I don't recommend testing that by completely submerging it, or showering with it on. It likely is OK with washing hands, though. Or sweat. Never had a problem even with my original Moto 360 in that regard.
One thing these will never do is make or receive calls over Bluetooth. None of them will.
They are a stand alone watch phone. Never made to call through Bluetooth.

Download the app Google Gesture Search from the play store onto your watch. This will allow you to easily search for settings options that are not accessible through the watch's launcher. Search for Notification Log. In the log, tap on any line that says Battery Master. This will take you to the app info page for Battery Master. You can't uninstall the app but you can disable it. This will allow Bluetooth to stay connected and will allow the m2d manager and receiver to stay running.
Using m2d, the phone will reconnect with the watch automatically if you come back into Bluetooth range.
Be aware that once you disable Battery Master, there is no way to re-enable it because it won't show up in the logs. I'm guessing that a firmware update or a factory reset would re-enable it.

The IP67 rating is a misprint, on the official LEMFO store at AliExpress, the listing for the Y3 states that it is IP65 rated. I took a screenshot because I know a lot of people were confused about that.

That's really too bad. I really would like a watch like my Gear S (which also allows you to use a SIM card) that can simply pass the call through the watch. For driving it is great to keep your hands on the wheel. I wonder why the feature isn't on more watches. It seems like a no-brainer.

This will allow Bluetooth to stay connected and will allow the m2d manager and receiver to stay running.
Using m2d, the phone will reconnect with the watch automatically if you come back into Bluetooth range.
Be aware that once you disable Battery Master, there is no way to re-enable it because it won't show up in the logs. I'm guessing that a firmware update or a factory reset would re-enable it.

Are you sure it's called "Google Gesture Search"? I can't seem to find it.

Not available in my country. I got it from APKMirror though.
I still have issues connecting after doing this. It worked fine and stayed connected the first time but once I rebooted both devices, wiiwear now force closes. I'm on Nexus 6p dirty unicorns 7.1 and the firmware on the watch is from Dec 16 any ideas

Neither Wiiwear or Sinwear will run on my Nexus 5x. I think it's an incompatibility with Android 7+. You can sync notifications to the Y3 using m2d once you fix the Bluetooth problem by disabling Battery Master.
Hi everyone,
I am facing a problem where almost any media (Youtube, Spotify, Default Player, VLC) I have kept randomly pausing in the foreground as well as in the background. I have tried tweaking a lot of optimization and battery setting but no results from that. I also cleared cache from the recovery.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, that would be great!
Thank you in Advance.
I've noticed this issue as well. Figured it was just me. I haven't found a fix for it yet.

Go to Settings-Device care-Battery-Settings(Top Right Side)-Sleeping Apps
Now Remove All The Apps From Sleeping Apps Which You Use Often, Example Spotify or Any Media Player
Now Close All Apps And Try. Everything Will Work Without any Hassle :good:

I checked and i didn't have any sleeping apps. Also mentioning again, it pauses random even in foreground (i.e. when i am using the app or watching a video on YouTube).

This happens to me with google play music, you need yo allow background battery activity in the app, then it works.

Same this started for me after the March update
I also have this issues with Google play music... but soon after I uninstall and reinstall it back then problem fixed. Tested with other music player also fine now. Hope this helps
Only a patch would make it work! Nothing helps

I had the same issue. Reset my settings and even wiped my cache partition again.
Updating Device Care to 10.0.01.0 somehow fixed that and some new battery draining issues I encountered after the ASD3 update
Remove the apps from sleeping apps and also from optimize for battery not just sleeping apps
I had the same with what's app audio voice notes and solved this way
Have not seen this on both S10E and S10+ devices here.
Granted, the S10E doesn't get the (media) use as the S10+ but I've watched long youtube videos as well as full feature movies (Plex) and never once have I experienced a drop out or pause. I use Youtube Vanced because youtube ads suck.
I have the 1TB 12GB Ceramic S10+ if that makes any difference.

This only happens when you are playing something and turn of the display as normal so the phone should be in standby mode
YouTube and videos are normally playing as the phone is already in active mode and screen is on

Hmmm not sure why I would turn off the display while watching a video.
Now if you're talking about streaming music, then I have not tried that. (That would make more sense?)
This happens to me when i disable background usage for google play music, it randomly stops after couple of seconds.
