Have you tried an older version of maps, maybe the 4.40 update broke it.

no there has to be a file that i can edit that tells nav how to behave

It's happening to me, too, so it's not just you.

Some delve please help maybe look at stand see what the permissions were in 2.1

Try and see what happens with Sprint nav.

It's a known bug in 2.2
supposedly pandora is working on it

By the way Sprint bab works but it plays thru doesn't mute or pauses they talk over each other loved how Pandora would just pause and resume

Yep it's from the 2.2 update. Pandora needs to update.

I was directed here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9569 the other day when I brought up the same issue on a different thread. Looks like it kicked in at the 1.47 ota, prior to that, the audio would go right back to playing pandora or whatever after nav told you to take a left.

thanks for the confirm, that's exacly how I remember it also (I can't remember exactly when the last time I used nav was before I went to 2.2)
The reason I posted the link though, was to show that it looks like it's been noted as a bug on android code, so I don't know if this is tied directly to Pandora. I'm thinking it's more of a bug with the nav app instead. I'm no expert though.

FWIW, I'm running the OMJ 2.2, and if i'm running googleNAV and playing a song with the native media player, it will pause while gnav give a direction, but it also won't resume play once the directions are finished. That would lead me to believe that the problems is not isolated to pandora....

I just tried to day with last tm and it works as should so I'd say its Pandora code that broke

It hasn't been working for me on Pandora or the HTC music player...Such a small detail is going to cause me a traffic accident soon...I just know it.

+1, this happens to me with music player also, a big disappointment after having it work in 2.1 and setting up a proper car dock with audio.
Also, I noticed when playing a movie in rockplayer you don't hear the navigation, and even after changing to the navigation app I wouldn't hear sound until I closed rockplayer and reopened the nav app.

Bump - this is annoying as ****, any remedy?

Pandora blocking GPS?

I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue or heard about it...
I am running CyanogenMod 2.2 Nightly (7-31-2010) with SnapV3 Kernel. I was just out driving while listening to Pandora through bluetooth. I happened to try out google navigation whilst doing this and I noticed that I couldn't get a GPS lock. The navigation app just kept saying that it was looking for GPS.
After some playing around I realized that if I turn off Pandora the navigation app works perfectly, but every time I turn on Pandora I either get the looking for GPS message or my position will not update.
Thanks for any input!

It's been known for a while that you can't listen to music (over speakerphone speaker using any app) and use GPS perhaps bluetooth suffers the same flaw?
If you download GPSTest then start it and open pandora, last.fm, local music player, etc and then hop into GPSTest really fast you'll see the phones unable to find GPS satellites.
Ok, I'll give that a try. Thanks for the info!
I've been working in other cities where I need the gps to get there and want to listen to pandora, so after I ran into this problem, I started keeping a nandroid of a 2.1 rom....

Just came back from jog and yours was the 1st post I came across, strange because this is EXACTLY what happened. Listening to pandora in the back ground Endomond gps tracker kept pausing, this is the 1st time that program has ever had an issue so there is conflict somewhere.
Well, I have played around with it a bit more and found that playing pandora through bluetooth does not cause a problem. I only run into the issue when using the phones speaker. I'm not sure about headphones though, I havn't tried that yet as I dont really have the need for them.
Of course there is still a problem with the navigation app turning off pandora every time it gives you audible directions. To stop this I just mute the navigation app and everything works well together.
I just run into a similar problem this morning
I'm running the leaked 2.2 build from last weekend.... before froyo, I could listen to pandora and use google nav all while plugged into my car stereo via aux jack.
now, when navigation gives a direction, it pauses pandora and you manually have to go back to it and press play
sooo annoying... anyone else run into this?
Order of Operations Counts, I think
I ran into this issue both with 2.1 and now 2.2 on my Evo. I'm not sure who the culprit is, but I've found that starting navigation, letting it acquire the GPS signal, and then launching Pandora works fine. If I do it the other way around my GPS signal basically dies.
Another interesting quirk I've noted is that if I start GPS first, but then Pandora.. my Nav voice will play through the speakerphone while Pandora plays through the headphone jack. If I start Pandora first, then Nav, they both play through the speakers.
I think what it may be is if Pandora starts/is caching while the phone is trying to startup GPS and acquire a position. I'll test it more during my drive home tonight. This has to be a software bug on side or the other. (Maybe it's google's ad software in Pandora trying to grab GPS for location specific advertising lol)

[Q] Google Navigation + Music

On 2.1 (standard Vodafone stock ROM), when playing music it would pause while the sat nav was speaking out directions and then resume.
Now on 2.2 (Both beta and todays official release) the music will stop when the sat nav is giving directions but it won't resume afterwards.
Can anyone tell me if its just a fault with my handset, or if its happening to all 2.2 handsets, as it is a major annoyance for me!
Can someone please just test this out for me on their 2.2 phone (doesn't matter if its running stock or someones cooked rom).
This seems to work on OpenDesire (non-sense), but doesn't work on any 2.2 Sense roms for me :S.
Please can someone just test this on their phone for me?
Just play a song using the stock music player, they type a destination in Navigation.
Tell me if the music continues playing after the Navigation app gives you the first set of spoken directions.
If it does, what ROM are you running?
Yep, same problem for me on every new 2.2 ROM I have tried. This is a show stopper for me as I ride a motorbike and rely quite heavily on GPS navigation while I'm listening to my tunes!
I've found that media players such as 'Mixzing' don't have this problem.
This bug was in all the beta releases that were leaked, so im pretty disappointed that HTC didn't fix this before final.
Same issue here after upgrading to Froyo. Very annoying!
Im getting this too.
Stock HTC ROM, using the HTC music player.
Im wondering if its a bug as in, on every release, or just a b0rked install on a few peoples phones.
Same here. HTC Music player doesn't resume. It ceases to appear in the notification area when Navigation starts. Double Twist resumed without a problem.
Is there a fix for this yet?

Hi,
Have you news about this problem ? It's realy ...
It's a problem of Google Nav or app music ?
Thank you
I haven't tested it since this latest update, but the only fix prior to that was to use a different music player.
I successfully used this workaround using Mixzing.
Ok It's a good app,but I prefer the original app for music.
Good alternative but HTC must to update this, I think it's important for a lot of people
Thanks

How do I get navigation to play nicely with music on Froyo?

On 2.1 everything was just dandy. But after updating, everytime the raspy voiced Google Maps lady speaks, she pauses my music, but refuses to hit play again. 2.1 lady would resume the music no problem, on both the HTC player and Pandora. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm secretly hoping there is an option I haven't found yet...its a huge pain to swipe back in, navigate to the music, and hit play while driving.
Yeah this would be great I dont remember using it on 2.1 but do know that it worked on CM6 Froyo and now that I am trying some of the new 2.2 sense roms it is a very annoying problem.
hmm havent noticed, havent used gps and music at the same time, my car speakers broke and i already know i cant use gps and the phone speaker at the same time, will try to test this soon though, anyone have stock 2.2 they can test this on?
Pretty sure this is an issue with all 2.2's including CM6 and that is has to do with how froyo controls audio (it's listed on the official Android bug list). Confident a fix is in the works though, either from Google or the devs here.

It seems to be an issue with a bunch of streaming media apps, not specific to Pandora.

Do you have a link to this list? I'm searching for it.
It should be made a sticky.
Yup, just tested it and it stops your music. Happened within 30 seconds of starting the navigation. I'm going to look for an old version of Google maps and see if that does anything, this update was pretty big.
Also, anyone have an N1 to test this on?
*EDIT* Using 4.3 does the same thing, was hoping it was a simple APK update needed, but we might need something more involved than that.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
Same issue with UK Desire since Froyo. Happens with both Copilot and Google Maps.
I read in a comment on the Android bug list that downgrading Pandora to v1.3 fixes the issue. Does anybody have an old titanium backup of Pandora 1.3?
I confirmed today that it happens with both Pandora and the regular music app on Fresh 3.2.
However, I recently was on a big roadtrip when using CM6 and it worked fine with the AOSP music player, but I didn't test Pandora.
Either way, it's extremely annoying. Missed a few turns because I just put nav on mute.

[Q] Pandora not auto-resuming

This happened after I upgraded to baked snack v1.4, as well as a new version of Pandora coming out, & google maps, so I'm not sure what caused it, but I'm hoping that someone may have a clue, or have it at least happened to other people so they know what I'm talking about.
Previously, when I had pandora playing, as well as google navigation, and navigation audio kicked in for directions, it would mute pandora, say it's peace, then pandora would resume playing.
Now, it just shuts pandora off, and after the directions are done, I have to go back to Pandora and click "play" again.
Is this a pandora issue, or another app issue?
Although I have not experienced this myself, I have seen this issue posted before. Did you do a search in the forums already?

I've also noticed this myself, yesterday I went to the bach and was using pandora for music, same thing
known issue but last fm will work like this
Searched before posting, but did not see a fix, will search again when I get home.
Is it a problem with something else, or is it the Pandora app itself that is not working correctly?

Music randomly playing out through speakers

Okay, so today I was listening to music, on my totally stock GS III. Suddenly the music switches through to the speaker, instead of going to my headphones. The first time this happen, it was when a song ended and a new song came on Google Music. The second time was when my friend texted me. My phone was on vibrate only. Obviously, this can be quite embarrassing especially when you are in a quiet zone. I checked to make sure the notification bar still had the headphone logo. I'm using regular no mic headphones. This happened earlier, is there anyway I can still logcat? Like doesn't it save all that until reboot? I don't even remember if I rebooted yet...probably..
Anyways, yeah, I tried searching, but I came up with threads on bluetooth and speakers just not working or crackling. So I think I might be the only one..?
Thanks for the help.
Only thing I can think of is maybe your headphone port is losing connectivity with your 3.5mm jack and it thinks no headphones are present?

1. background advertisements. Use adaware
2. poor installation/settings check google music and the app settings. worst comes to worst go to manage apps clear data, uninstall and re-install in market
It happened to me once or twice with google music player. Actually, since JB, google music is full of bug on my side, it randomly hangs on song switching, this bug, low volume bug until I pause and press play. Tried clearing cache/data, uninstalling couple of times, and no go.
I've given up on it and am now using rocket player with cloud music importer. I was never streaming anyway but I liked the google music interface... oh well
I'm on a stock based jellybean ROM rooted

Yes but the usual behavior is that when headphones are pulled out, it pauses the music.

I'm not sure what the advertisements have to do with the audio problem, but I do use ad blocker. I have tried flashing back to stick through kies and odin.

I have the same issue but I use rocket music player. But the worst issue I have is when I'm listening to music and someone calls me, after the call it puts full speaker volume out my headphones and blows my ears out. I would definitely be interested in a solution otherwise I will be going back to ICS myself; especially since I can't run Adobe Flash on web pages anymore.

I'll add to this I've had the same issues with my rooted stock JB from my google play player so I just switched players to power amp full version player and I could not be any happier!
Has happened to me twice in class. Was listening to a song in google music, song ended and the next one came on, except this time coming out of the speaker. Very embarrassing!

Recently read in a different forum that changing LPAplayer from true to false I think in the build.prop is a solution.... Can't remember where I read it, couldn't find it in history, probably was on my other machine...
Been looking into this more. Seems like more people are having this problem. Some suggest downgrading google music, some say the 11/12 update is bad, some say LPAplayer or something needs to be disabled, using default samsung player, which reminds me today I installed Pandora which happened to do the same thing so it must be touchwiz and it only happens on JB. Not trying to change my phone to CM10, thats a no for me. Has anyone found a real solution?
