[Q] Google maps / music player and pandora - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[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

Since Froyo music stops while navigating

Since my Froyo update the music stops playing as soon as my navigation software makes an announcement. This happens with both Google and Copilot.
Is this just me and anyone have any suggestions please?

Can you play music and use Google Nav audio Simultaneously?

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

[Q] I would appreciate a little help/confirmation please.

I was on the 2.2 RUU.
The sound bug on 2.2 is unacceptable, so I just went back to 2.1.
The bug is that the music player, pandora and btune would not play nice with google navigation, google actions and even copilot.
These apps stop instead of just pause and continue.
With copilot, no sound from music player unless it's restarted.
I would appreciate the people who are actually on the OTA instead of the RUU to confirm or dismiss these problems.
I'll stay with 2.1 if you can confirm or go ahead with OTA if you dismissed these problems.
Thank you
This is a known problem with Froyo. The bug has been fixed in the new version of Pandora released today.
Any devs out there think they can patch the stock music app so it'll play nice with the Navigation? Looking at the new Pandora apk, perhaps the secret can be figured out.

stop button of BT headphone not functioning when in ICS

Is anybody experiencing the stop button of BT headphone not functioning when in ICS.
When I was using gingerbread, I did not have any issues with using the stop button of a BT headphone.
Now flashed Mr.X stock ICS rom - both the stock music player and ubermusic, poweramp, etc the stop button of the
BT headphone will not function.
Maybe If I push the Bluuetooth services from Gingerbread to ICS, will it fix the problem?
All of the music players that I tried , under the ICS when I use the BT headphone the play, pause or stop button do not function. Be it the stock music player or a music player that I DL from the market. When I go back to gingerbread, the play, pause, stop button works/functions.
I think it has something to do with the ICS rom.
Is anybody experiencing this issue?
My BT headphones' buttons work, but only with the stock player. I'm on stock rooted Telus ICS.
The most irritating bug is with my BT handsfree in the car (Motorola T505), I can't initiate a call without physically unlocking the phone and going to the voice talk app, the phone won't take a command while locked.
Let me install again the stock music player, I'll check if it works.
The last time I checked it did not work
Yeah you're right... I checked it again, it works with the stock music player, other players it doesn't!
