[Q] Music pauses for every notification - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
It bugs me to the core when I'm listening to music and it always has to pause for 2 secs whenever any notification comes in.
As a normal music player or OS will behave, it should fade the music a little bit and notification plays on top.
It gets more annoying when notifications are constant. E.G listening to music and chatting on WhatsApp.
Is there anything, mod, tweak that I can apply to make music only fade when notifications come, not pause for 2-3 seconds?

When streaming Google All Access, it only slightly lowers the volume and plays the notification sound on top, as you are stating that it should be doing
My guess is that it has something to do with whatever app you're using.

Yes. Thats what I mean it should be doing. To lower the music (fadel) then refocus on the music after notification sound.
Hmm. I'd test that but I dont have Google music access.
However, when I use Spotify, it fades the music and refocus on it after the notification sound. Pandora as well.
Its the Samsung music player that won't do the same.

I hate this aswell, happens to me with poweramp
Handwritten from my Note 3

Turn the system sounds to vibrate or silent. Not exactly convenient, but it's better than nothing.
I hate this as well, I'd rather just that it played the notification through the music without silencing it at all.

Try Tasker. It's wonderful for automate any task you want

It happens on all the players I've tried. This is touchwiz in action. I will try tasker and see what I can come up with.

[Q] Stock Music Player Lock Screen Bug?

My N4 was just updated to 4.2.1, is stock unrooted.
When I have the music player up on the main screen and i lock the screen. The lock screen is glitching and showing a translucent music player coming in and out of existence. It makes it difficult to swipe left or right to access widgets or the camera. But if you manage to start swiping the glitching stops. If i then unlock the phone and hit the home button, the music player sends the controls to the notification bar. Then if i lock the device it doesn't glitch out.
Has anyone else noticed this / can you test it quick? I have to note I am using Klipsch S4A with the Klpisch control app as well. (could it be this is what is causing the issues? I was thinking it might not be optimized for the latest update)
Unfortunately I failed to notice this before the 4.2.1 update so i'm wondering what would cause this glitchyness. It seems to be mostly cosmetic though as it doesnt effect the unlocking of the phone or the music playing ONLY the swiping to the widgets or camera. Very strange.
I've noticed that my music thing doesn't show up on the lock screen half the time but I use double twist so it could be a app update needed for mine

It seems the widgets and the music player are conflicting. The clock randomely shifts from the main lock screen to being just off screen to back again - all the while the music player is glitching through the lock screen from the main screen.
ok it just happened again even though the music player was reduced to the notification's bar. Although this is the first time, I can only reproduce the issue if the music player is maximized on the main screen. I'm going to take screen shots tonight and update.
As you can see there seems to be gltiching between the music player and the camera widget. It happens randomly not just when I have the music player up on the main screen. Is anyone else experiencing this??

Yeah I get this too.
So I hadn't noticed my "play music" app had an update available. Guess what? Problem solved haha...

So after a reboot the problem has returned....sigh!

I have noticed now that the music player is supposed to replace (or maybe not?) the clock widget on the lock screen so you can control you music. It's only worked properly a couple of times, most of the time it stays in notifications bar or i get the damn glitching again. This has to be a lock screen widget bug.
I haven't found a definite answer yet,
but anybody knows for sure it's a bug for 4.2.1 for stock Music app controls not to show up on lock screen during playback??
I haven't seen any other bugs reported earlier in this thread.
UPDATE: Restarted and it started working..
Yeah sometimes it works properly...seems to be random

Same issue sometimes !
Same thing happens with me too sometimes ! Not quite often ! I usually lock again, and it behaves normal !
This happens on my phone every time I use Google Music. It doesn't crash anything, it just look unattractive when trying to unlock the phone.
hi, i noticed it too. you can force this glitch by 1.) starting a track in gmusic.
then 2.) go to the homescreen and list all recent opened apps an swype gmusic away.
you will notice that the music continues.
3.) now lock your device by pushing the power key an push it one more time to get to te lockscreen.
On the lockscreen there will be the gmusic widget.
4.) tick "next track " on the gmusic lockscreen widget.
Same thing happening to me on my Galaxy Nexus with CyanogenMod 10.1
Not only Google Music but other players too.
Same thing happens on my SGSII on CyanogenMod 10.1
I see it with Pocket Cast podcast app.
It's a bug in the lockscreen widgets - I have it freeze on me every few days
It's a reported bug.

Star it so it gets more attention.

It's the little things

Had 4.2.2 for a few days now and I have just noticed when listening to music and the screen is locked you get the forward, back, pause shortcuts. Well when you his pause there is animation of the pause rotating to a play icon. Hit play and it rotates into pause, as if it was a single shape. Beautiful touch.
Oh and I have no lag and fantastic battery life hence being very impressed with little things like that
Anyone else notice little touches like that?

Yeh, the first one I noticed is that the music controls on the lockscreen actually work, both with Play Music and Walkman. On my S3, I had to use a custom lockscreen with player controls because their crappy modified lockscreen wouldn't play nice.
My phone is in repair at the mo but I'd like to see a gif or vid of this "animation" you mention.
it even works with third party players like Poweramp and others (not all of them though, depends on their settings)

First galaxy coming from iPhones

Hi everyone, so this time for the first time I got a galaxy, I'm still trying to figure out all its possibilities but there's some things that I'd really loved but can't find out how to do them and I'd need some help.
The first thing is that I'd like to mute some notifications for instance when I receive a notification on YouTube I'd love to be able to read it on the lock screen or notification center but I want no vibration nor sound
The other thing is that I really need a music app that can show lyrics, I have lyrics for all of my songs but the standard music app doesn't appear to show them
I really thank you for your help
Use power amp for your music needs, has a trial version u can try before buying
Musixmatch is the app you need for music, its free

Musixmatch looks for the lyrics in the or database or internet bit I already have all the lyrics for my songs, I just need a player in which I can see them.
I tried eleven from cyanogenmod but that shows only lyrics from srt files, I added them in iTunes on the metadata in fact when I, on my iPhone, pressed once on the album art it would show the ones I added.
I tried rocket launcher but didn't like how it showed them, is there really nothing as simple as pressing on the album art (while song is playing) to show the lyrics?
Thanks for helping me out
With respect to notifications, you should check the individual app settings around notifications. Many of them have discrete controls for sound+notification bar and allow you to set things as desired (for example I use Textra for SMS and it does that) but I'd expect not all do.
The notification sound settings in the base system settings will effectively be the default for any app that does not otherwise control the values.

Yes indeed you are right, I couldn't find much notification settings in the galaxy settings but I found for instance Twitter notification sound in the Twitter settings, unfortunately they don't work, they won't save so I end end up disabling them altogether

Music Controls in Lock Screen?

Hi.
The stock music player has lockscreen controls accessible without tapping the notification bell, and the album cover appears as the lockscreen background.
However, these features are not available when using other music apps like Spotify and Pandora, which makes skipping a track very annoying since it requires tapping the notification bell. I could care less about the album art in the lockscreen, judt thought I should point it out.
Does anyone know a way to make the spotify or pandora act as the stock music app to get controls in the lock screen? Thanks.

You can wait for future update which should remove the bell as everyone hates it or use another app for locked screen.
The problem with using another locked screen is you end up with two locked screens unless you choose to disable the built-in locked screen.

Oreo - Urgent Notification without sound?

Back on Nougat, I heavily utilized Power Notification Controls (i.e., set music player notifications to highest priority so that it would show the currently playing song when it changes)
Oreo removed this in lieu of notification channels, and has made this difficult for me.
I have the option to set Poweramp's notifications to urgent, but there's no option to do that without sound. Although other apps built-in on the phone have done this? (https://imgur.com/a/ZgYrZYm)
When I go to pick a sound option for Poweramp, Silent isn't an option (see same link). And I tried a short silent audio clip but it still mutes the music player as if it's playing a sound.
Is there any way to get Silent on Poweramp like the built-in app?
