I think I have found a bug in Android 6.0.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
Put all four volume bars (Ringtone, Media, Notifications, System) at full.
Connect your phone to your car via. Bluetooth.
Put some music on (any app will do, they should all work the same).
Make sure all four volume bars are still full.
Open Google Maps and make the voice say something.
On my phone, the Media volume (that controls both music and voice notifications) turns down to around 50/60% every time s/he speaks.
It's very annoying!

I use my music player quite a lot, and am looking for ways to improve on the experience on Android phones.
What I wish to do is to be able to control the music in the following ways, regardless of whether the screen is turn off or on, and regardless of whether the music program is running in the foreground or background.
- long press volume up button: go to next song
- long press volume down button: goo to previous song
- press both button together: toggle between play and pause.
- normal volume up and down still controls the volume
I found a program in the market place, but it only works when the music player is in the foreground, and the screen must be on.
I use this feature a lot on my iPhone before bed, and hope I can do the same on my SGS.
Is there such a program you're aware of in the Market place?
that's interesting
however, I find it easier using my Bluetooth A2DP for that sort of things.
it works both in my car and my stereo headset
i can remote control the play of the music before/next, stop, pause, play, random, volume, etc
best is, if a phone comes in, it automatically switches to phone mode, and when the call is over, it resumes back to music mode.
The only single problem i've found is, i don't know now to answer the 2nd call via bluetooth, if 2 people are calling me at the same time.
I don't use Bluetooth. Also, I love connecting the music player to a proper sounding speaker system in my bedroom and lounge.
So today I needed to use google maps to navigate to an address, so like i used to on my Incredible, I put in the address, selected navigate and everything was good until I came to my first turn, Pandora muted and I heard the voice turn direction, but it was not through my car's speakers. I checked that Navigation wasn't muted then I checked that the media volume was turned all the way up and it was. So what's the deal, is there a setting I'm missing or something, or is the Fascinate's only capability to play music through the headphone jack? I know you can't have a phone conversation with the phone pluged into an aux jack in a car as it keeps the mic on the phone mute, but it won't play nav directions through the head phone jack either?
This is a known issue. It is supposed to be fixed with 2.2. I hope.
There were a couple of devs working on a fix, but nothing that works yet.
I had voice prompts through my car stereo using Google navigation this past weekend while using the stock music player. Didn't try it with Pandora.
I had to turn the phone's media volume way down and crack the navigation audio all the way up, then crack my car stereo as the navigation volume is an order of magnitude softer than the media volume on the Fascinate (which is a known bug that is hopefully going to be fixed).

I had the same issue, then found a fix for it this morning. I posted it here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...s/85988-navigation-volume-low.html#post957765
As far as being able to hear the navigation through your speakers, it should work. Mine has worked fine since the beginning. I only had an issue with the volume being really low. Perhaps that is what you are seeing. Sometimes the navigation volume would be so low that I would hear the music turn down for the directions, but I didn't hear any directions until I turned up my radio to max.
I reflashed the rom I was using and that seems to have cleared the issue up. Thanks for the sound fix SnrSuave.
Hey guys have a very specific issue.
I have a galaxy note 3 with sprint. My car is subaru impresa 2013.
The issue is when my phone connects to the car media through blue tooth. When I turn on my car the phone pairs automatically. And the music starts playing right away. The phone determine which app to use based on a which app I used to play music last time. Right now I using the Samsung music app and Google Music app.
Issue 1
When the music is playing occasionally you hear a crackling noise for a second. Which kind of disturbs the flow of the music. I monitored the phone to see if it was any sort of notifications that would trigger the interruption but no notifications happen at that time. I also went to blue tooth settings and only enabled the media Audio profile. That did not seem to fix the issue. This lead to a the second issue.
issue 2
When the phone is playing music while connected to the car media it would stop the music and not play. At that point the phones home button stops working. So you cannot go back to the main screen unless you restart (pull the battery the power button does not work either) the phone or use the back button to the right of home button.
Issue 3
When the phone connects to the car media automatically car media does not read the song info. For example artist and title. I have to restart the blue tooth in order for that info to appear on the car media screen. This also presents you from changing songs from your wheel buttons.. basically if you can see the song info on the car screen then you can switch songs. If you cannot see the song info on the car screen then you can't use the controls to switch songs.
Please if any one know what's going on I would appreciate your input... I have few more days to swap the phone if this is hardware issue.
Longtime Android user here, with a Shiny New Verizon S7, stock (Android 6.0.1, model SM-6930V). However, I have an odd issue. I have the volumes for the various events set per my preferences. None are at full volume, and they all play at my preset volumes.
However, if I plug in a wired headset (connect it to the aux input jack in my car), notifications are really quiet as if at the lowest setting, regardless of the volume level I actually had set. If I'm playing music (say, Pandora) when a notification fires, the music volume is automatically lowered as usual, but the notification sound is low. Music returns to normal once the notification sound has finished playing.
If, while plugged in, I go to the volume settings, the sliders are where I left them. If I move the notification volume slider around, it doesn't change the notification volume (unless I slide it to 'off', where it does turn the volume all the way down).
I've downloaded a few different apps to try to fix this, to no avail.
Odd, and frustrating, behavior.
Has anyone seen this, or have any ideas? It's a company phone, so I can't root it. :-/
Bueller...?
Several months ago I purchased a car with bluetooth and Android Auto, never had either before, which may or may not actual be related., but it seems like since them I have had my media volume muted all the time.
Every time I go to play a Youtube video or play or stream a song in an app, my media volume is muted. I have to press Vol Up once, then the volume is instantly restored to it's previous level.
Anyway to get around this? It seems related to the car because when I get in it and it synchs with BT, I can see the media volume bar pop-up and it's muted but I am not sure if it's getting muted at that point or already is but it seems odd that would pop up every time I would sync to the car. Or is this just normal behaviour?
The car is a 2018 Hyundai Sonata if that matters, and my phone is a bone stock Moto G5+ 4/64 model.
Nobody? Hmm... Must just be something weird on my end then.

Have you tried checking the car's system? Pretty sure it's something to with the car and not your phone as you mentioned it only happens when your phone syncs with the car. Maybe you missed a setting somewhere in the car that has to do with the sync or connection and the events that follow. Just a suggestion. I don't have a car with Bluetooth or Android Auto though
