Whenever I use google nav and htc music, lastfm, or pandora the music plays until Nav says something. At that point the music stops, i have to switch to the music player, and press play, and go back to Nav. This doesn't work well when i'm driving through neighborhoods and nav is speaking every few seconds. Is there a way to get both the audio from music and google nav to work at the same time without nav pausing the audio?
I know I can mute google nav and the music will continue to play but that means I have to be watching my phone more than i'd like to- safety issue.
Thanks!
I dont think there is a fix for it at the moment. I want to say that it started with the 2.2 update. Beforehand I think the music would start back up automatically.
i can confirm this bug as well. Very Annoying.
yeah no fix for this yet - frustrating as all hell.
you can star the issue on Google code here;

For what it's worth, Bplayer doesn't have this problem. It acts exactly like the stock music player / Pandora etc used to in 2.1 where it just mutes when the Nav is speaking.
I don't know if this helps narrow down the problem or not, but it's how I'm working around the issue.
I just put my nav on mute and listen to the music

I did a quick search and found nothing related so sorry in advance if its been covered already...
While driving in my car playing music over the headphone jack the google maps nav voice notifications close the music player...
Before the 2.2 update it would pause the music and then resume it after it was done giving directions. Now if the phone is locked you can hit the play button again to resume the music if the screen is on its closes the app down entirely
Does any1 have a fix for this?
Im runing stock 2.2
I believe this is a recognized problem in Froyo, the bug is documented here but has not yet been fixed by Google. I haven't seen any work-arounds posted yet. In the meantime, this and the Froyo AAC streaming bug have forced me to return to 2.1.
I've been trying for days to get the defy to work i want.
I listen to audiobooks, music and podcasts, and I need to be able to control it from the headset
I tried default player, google listen, winamp, doggcatcher. And cant get the thing to work right!!
Music+ doesn't even register the button press, listen resumes and skips to next track, even if you're playing another audio in the background. Winamp on its own is fine but does not download podcasts, and doggcatcher has conflicts with winamp on the headset thing.
Has anyone find a good solution for this? it seems just the way android is built, and the lack of a good unified media player (with or integrated with podcast manager).
Such a disappointment... I was so looking for having an android phone! If I can't find a solution, it seems its not for someone like me untill they integrate things a little more tightly.
Well, it's not the Defy. And while I don't think that Android sucks at playing media I do agree with some of your points. I also listen to audio books and podcast. For the moment I'm using AudioBook Player 2 for audiobooks. It's not prefect by a long shot but it does the job. As for podcast I haven't found anything useful yet. The defaut player is suppose to play podcast but there is no way to skip through. If I have to stop listening to the podcast there is no way of getting back to were I left off. And while the device obviously play videos, and does so quite well, I haven't found any type of video player interface. The only way I can start a video is by going into the gallery and taping on the file I want to play. That dosen't seem right to me.
So yeah, I feel your frustration.

Yes, sorry. I did not meant to bash, its just that I soo wanted to love it... and I don't, and if there is no good solution I think android is not for my for now. I don't know. It has so many great things!
Thanks for your suggestions I'll look into it.
On another subject : When I listen to music, I can't do anything else (switching to landscape mode e.g.), otherwise it's really slow.
Is anybody else having that bug ? Some guy here mentioned it. But he then said he fixed it without having it deodexed. How do you fix this ?
Meridian is a media player that does most of what you want, with the possible exceptin of podcasting (don´t use it, don´t know).
It remembers where you last listened to a track, and if you switch to video (which has a library of it´s own) it still remembers where in the audio track you were when you go back to that. So actually better than WMP there... ;-)
Only thing that grinds my gears with this is an annoying bug that starts a random track when I press the button on any wired headset. If I hang up a call, or if I want to pause and then start playing in Spotify or radio, Meridian starts playing a tune in the background. I thought it was a bug I was having with my Pulse, but it´s there with the Defy as well.
A BT headset has none of these issues though.
Don't worry google is working on a multimedia improvement......soooonnnn soon, also has anyone tried poweramp
Anyone know how to fix the audio issues with navigation? The audio part works, pauses my music and then continues playing it. The navigation audio is the problem. It is really quiet.
Using CM7 and Cubed player

what nav are you using? google maps? copilot..etc?
Google maps+navigation
Have you turned the Navigation volume up? This can only be done when you are in Navigation mode.
Yeah, its on full volume. I think the problem is that the audio focus is muting it or it's going through the wrong audio channel.
Google listen, google music, slacket, Pandora, and spotify. If I begin playing a song and turn the screen off, more than likely songs will randomly pause, randomly because I don't know when. Wth
Please help thanks!

Happens with me too, but only as I unlock the screen. I am using the PlayerPro app, not sure why this happens.
tried mortplayer, google music, zimly, stock and the only one that hasnt paused is UberMusic. Not sure why that is tho. after a week of having this phone that is the only problem i can find. running juggs 5.0.
I'm Running DARKSIDE DIGITAL WARFARE and I don't experience these issues either with the stock player or Google Music (It happens with custom playlists under Google Music but thats a known but on their side)
After a day of testing I can say ubermusic works. It doesn't pause when screen is off and the notification music control works with it ( no album or song name). I hope this helps although it brings your choices of player to 1 that works with everything and a bunch that do a few.
Whenever I get in my car and my bluetooth connects, google play music just starts playing whatever was last on on Google Music App. I'm a spotify user and would like to change the default from Google to Spotify. I can't seem to find a way to stop Google music from playing by default. It's very annoying. Works great if you use Google music, but otherwise, annoying.
Anyone having this issue? Anyone have a fix?
AFAIK there isn't a way to prevent media autoplay when connecting to (certain?) car stereos.
Interestingly enough, I don't think that the behavior is actually specific to GPM. I usually listen to podcasts in the car rather than music, and as long as the phone hasn't rebooted or GPM hasn't been used since Pocket Casts was playing, my podcast resumes when I get back in the car usually even if the notification has been closed. It may be the the Spotify app is missing some hook that allows it to take advantage of this feature, but I don't believe we have any way of affecting it directly.
BRO. This **** happened to me for like a week straight and I was getting pretty angry. I made the mistake of asking Google Assistant to play a song for me ONCE and every time I connected to a bluetooth device (usually my car) it started playing the song from where it left off. I don't know what I did to make it stop to be honest, so I'm not much of a help but I can confirm this is a very annoying issue.
I did NOT, however, uninstall Google Music, Disable it, or touch the app in any capacity. There's no option to prevent it from autoplaying, either. I might've let the song play out, but I'm afraid to open the app again to take a look.
