Yeas on stock. But when i kill all aps, 5 mins after i have the normal sound and i can continue listen music or watch video. I'm sure it's a bug or an app bug...

I was getting the same error "Unable to play during call".
I started killing apps one by one.
After killing Hangouts from the Application Manager, music started playing.
After that i turned off Hangouts to permanently solve the issue.
Hit thanks, if it helps

How to stop Spotify pausing when receiving a notification?

Hi all,
Anyone happen to know how to stop Spotify from stopping playback for a second when a notification comes in from another app with Android 4.2?
Cheers!
That's a feature but some apps lower the volume for a second then raise it again while others pause.

Probably an obvious solution, but you can always kill notification sounds and just have it vibrate as an alert. Spotify shouldn't pause.
I have also always been annoyed by this. The apps playing the notification sound are the ones that determine if the music is paused or not right? I know that Chomp SMS has an option to NOT play notifications when playing music. So apps know when music is playing and can avoid the interruption.
I haven't seen other apps with that option, at least not the others I commonly use. So what I do is I have notifications disabled for most of my apps, but I like to know when I get a Gmail message, and Gmail will always pause my music (unless I set the phone to vibrate) which I don't like.
The main problem is when I stream music to my little Belkin audio gateway at home. If I set it on vibrate/silent, I can't hear the phone ring because the ringtone does not play through the A2DP music profile. I don't always have the phone with me because my range is limited (can't wait for a miracast affordable streaming audio solution).
I would love the music volume to be lowered while the notification plays, and then restore volume when it's over. Is there a ROM that does this? I know I used some ROMs on my EVO that did it, but don't know if there's a Nexus 4 ROM that will do the same.
I did set up a task with Automateit to set the phone to vibrate when Spotify is open. I think it will only do that when music is playing and not if the app is running in the background, but when downloading a playlist, it will do the same. Tasker probably has a better trigger so that it does this when music is playing, but I didn't want to pay the $7 for it today.
Shush! is another option if you know how long you will be listening to music, you can tell Shush to turn your ringer back on after an hour, but it's still not perfect.

which spotify or whatsapp im wondering whos going to get my strongly worded email?
I know on some ROMs, like paranoid, you can revoke specific privileges and permissions for each app. Could we remove Spotify's ability to know the phones notification state?

I also found this annoying, especially while watching video etc. The only solution I ever found was to mute the sounds, which stopped the alerts interrupting the music or video playback, and as a bonus, you still hear the ringer through the headphones
If you have/use tasker, you can create a policy that detects when your watching films or listening to music and automatically sets the alerts to mute, then sets it back when your done.
But how to mute? I selected mute sounds in configuration and player stopped too.

I just mute it using the mute/vbrate toggle in the quick setting menu and still am able to play music via google play or videos

Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H ISSUE!!!

Hey there, I've updated to official 5.0.2 lollipop on my device here in Panama (TPA) and I noticed that if I'm listening to music or videos wether through my headphones or speakers, whenever a notification arrives, it interrumps the music audio and it kinda sucks. And when viewing videos, I have to rewatch the part due to notification ringtone overcomes video's audio... Any ideas/help??? :'(

i like to go into the settings for the app and turn off notifications under the uninstall option. wont solve all the problems though. maybe a notification manager app would help.

I'm thinking more of a way to make the music and any notification sound to sound equally, like without the music getting paused for a second. Just the two sounds to play at the same time and hear both the music and the notification sound like in other devices I've had (S3 Neo) but no clues on how to do so.

Stopping Mifavor from killing Play Music

More than a little annoyed by MiFavor cleaning running apps when the screen is off. For apps I installed I can deactivate that in settings but how do I fix it for Play Music (does not show up in that menu, presumably because its a system app)? It is really annoying when casting music....
It's a system app so you can't disable the cleaning for system apps. Use another music player from Google play.

I would but I only use play music because of all access which doesn't properly work with other players...
Maybe I could root and convert it into a normal app?
Yes, remove it from system and then install it as a normal app. I think there might be an app to clone it with a different name as a standard app.
