Hi,
I have installed a BLP-950A (Octa Core with Android 7.1) in my vehicle. Unfortunately, there is a problem with the integrated music player in conjunction with navigation apps. The music player crashes sporadically and then the navigation app stops working. Only when I close the music player completly, the navigation works normally again. The problem occurs on Google Maps and Here we go. However, if I run the radio instead of the music player, the problem does not arise.
TomTom Go has another problem that the default computer voice is distorted as soon as I put this app as the default navigation app in the system. If I take the assignment away, the standard computer voice works normally, but much too quietly, and it does not dampen the music when route announcements come along. How I can fix this?
Therefore, another question, I would like to change the standard music player with e.g. with poweramp. Unfortunately, Poweramp does not continue playing as soon as I turn off the device and turn it back on. I always have to open poweramp completely after each reboot and press play to resume.

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.
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.
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.

I am just getting my feet wet on the Android side of things and was wondering if someone can help me with how to configure my Joying 10.1" android unit running 5.1.1.
Currently with the default Radio, Music, and Video player apps, they all power off and on normally by bringing you back to the previous station, mp3, or video that was last played when the unit turns back on.
I am trying to switch to Rocket Music Player for the playlist support. However I have 2 issues.
1. When I have Rocket Player running and playing music, when I switch to the default Radio, Music, or Video apps from the head unit, the audio from Rocket Player continues to play in the background? How do I disable the audio mixing just for these 3 apps? I obviously want Rocket Player to keep playing when I run navigation or other apps, but I want it to stop for these default apps.
2. When the unit powers on, Rocket Player says that the task was killed and to disable the task killer to prevent this from happening again. Because of this, when I power the head unit back on, Rocket Player sometime randomly chooses a song from my library to play and not the last song it was playing for the unit is powered down. Where can I go in the settings to put Rocket Music Player on the exception list of apps to not kill when the unit powers down?
Do I need to try a different music app? Do I need to root the head unit? Is there a different app I can use to fix these 2 issues above?
Thanks in advance!
I tried PowerAmp and had the same issues. Is this something that Tasker can fix? Can Tasker kill just the audio for the stock Music and Video app when I launch either PowerAmp or RocketPlayer? Or will I only be able to kill the entire process? Sorry, I haven't purchased Tasker yet but will do so if it can fix my issues here.
Hi, I just got a android head unit and can't figure if it's something wrong or just a setting I can't find.
When I have an audio app running, like radio or music, and then start a nav app(specifically OSAMD) everything is fine. The music plays while nav is working. The problem is when the nav app interupts the audio with voice alerts, the music audio never comes back on. Have to go to the music app and audio comes back the switch back to the nav app. On next alert it does it all over again.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Hi again,
Can no one help with this?
Nobody else have this problem?
what's the Unit, What's the Nav app and are you using Android Auto or Carplay or Native App? If this is AA/CP this is normal when using Native Music. If this is all Native I suggest to try switching to a different Nav App and see if it makes a difference.
I can tell you on mine Waze and Goggle Maps will properly interrupt then return to music with both spotify and VLC.
AA/CP does exactly what you described, unless you play music through AA/CP.
This is the first one I have had. It's from amazon the brand says Podofo. It's android 9.1
I'm using Osamd navagation app. They say the app should return the music but it does not. Not sure what AA/CP is, maybe android auto. I'm not using that just the built in launcher and tried a couple other launchers with no luck. I'll try google or waze and see if they are any different.
