None have anything to do with my issue. My own thread (I started in May of 2011) doesn't work this time around.
My issue: Music will pause when I receive a notification. I get a lot of emails / texts / whatever, and it's annoying as hell. When I'm listening to my music, it'll just pause it and play the sound. I've scoured all options. It happens using Winamp, Music and the newer streaming Music player. I've cleared the cache in DSP Manager, I've looked in CM Settings, nada.
Now, I'll say: This does not happen in CM Nightlies below 210. I flashed the latest: CM7 Build #227. I'm not overclocked, I'm not running task killers or memory managers. I wiped cache before updating... I can wipe everything, but I'd rather leave that for last.
I'd like to keep as up to date as possible with builds... But this is just driving me up the wall. Anyone have this issue?

Do you have a notification sound on?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Yes. The notification sound cuts the music off.
Then turn it off lol. I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be that way. I would be pissed if it didn't pause my music lol, but I only get a handful of texts
So wait, you're telling me the way to fix this is to turn my notification sounds off? I'm not trying to sound like a **** here, but that defeats the purpose. I need to hear my notifications and also don't want my music cutting off when I get them.
I'm a Sys Admin, so I get a lot of emails and texts. If I'm on the train trying to zone out from work and it takes me 10m to listen to a 5m song, I lose my ****. Also, I can't afford not to hear them... if some box goes down, I'm responsible for getting it back online / notifying the business.
Any other suggestions?
that's fine but the reason you didn't find anything is probably because you can't do it easily. the very idea of that is to notify you if you don't hear it then you don't know it unless you check, but then again if your gonna regularly look for notifications why not just manually check. Just saying not being a **** or anything, btw you mean like when the phone is in silent mode?

just sounds like it would take some work to pull off, have you tried google? maybe an app developer got annoyed about this enough to make an app, i dunno wish i could help more
I don't want to keep looking at my phone and pulling it out of my pocket every 20 seconds to see if there's a notification. My phone is on loud. Not silent mode. I can hear the notifications, it just completely cuts off my music to play the sound. I work in The Bay Area, and the train I take home is crowded as hell. So, I'd rather not be reaching in my pocket to see what the deal is if there is nothing on the phone.
The thing is: It's always worked before these new builds. Stock 2.2 for the phone worked, CM 7.1.0 Final worked, and every build after that worked up until 210. I just want it to work like it used to.
I'll get on Cyanogen's Bug Tracker and post something on this. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to find an old build and flash back.

Have you tried to going to "Music Settings" and check the box saying "Focus loss ducking"? Its very simple so maybe you have but how do I know, right?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
That option doesn't exist in the Music player that syncs with Google Music, however; it's in Music.apk (The normal stock one). I'll try that out. That's the option I was trying to remember where it was. I'll try now. Ty
EDiT: Nope from stock Music App.
Trying from the other one.
EDiT: Nope.
Couldn't find it or didn't work? What rom are you running? And when you say pause do you mean it just completely stops and you have to press play to restart music? Or do you mean it pauses temporarily and then continues to play after the notification? I know quite a few questions. Lol
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Didn't work. Running CM7 Build #227. It worked on ROMS > 210. And I mean it pauses to play the notification then resumes music.
Maybe totally off, but you could try MIUI, it has this option. Maybe you will like it more than CM

I've encountered a strange problem lately. Within the last few days, my music apps seems to start playing on their own. This does not seem to be related to putting in or removing headphones, as I have not used any headphones for quite some time. Rather, it seems to happen after I perform certain functions on the phone.
For example, it happens whenever I use Astro to move or delete a file. Immediately after performing the cut or copy, the music starts. It has also happened after I disable bluetooth and/or turn of the screen.
What's strange is that it is not always the same music player which opens. Sometimes its HTCMusic and sometimes its DoubleTwist. As an experiment, I tried freezing HTCMusic with TitaniumBackup and then installing the AOSP music app from CM6. Same result.
I'm using Calukin's ROM, but have been for several weeks without issue so I don't believe that is the cause.
Any ideas as to what might be going on here?
Bump. Really need help figuring this out. Late last night, my Evo was tucked away for bed in its charger. All of the sudden, the music started blaring again. Nobody touched it. In fact, my family was all asleep when it happened and it woke up my kids. Thinking I'm just going to have to start over with a new ROM if there's no answer.
What's odd is that whenever the music starts, I will open the music app to kill it and the app doesn't know it is playing right away. In other words, the play button is displayed, rather than the pause button. To kill the music, I have to hit play, then pause.
I assume you're not running any tasker profile or other program related to running sound based on a condition?
Have you explored the possibility you have a music-loving ghost living in your home?
There is a bug where sometimes a random song off your memory card gets used for a notification sound, you may want to check those out. Last time I did an OTA update it changed my facebook notification to baby got back and the only way I could get it to stop playing was to mute or reset my phone lol
Having severely scratchy, distorted music audio that usually starts after a few hours of regular use of stock music player, Doubletwist and Pandora. Also happens when automatically going back to music after answering an incoming call through my BT mono. Really strange. And when it kicks in, even my notification tones begin to sound scratchy (but oddly my ringtone sounds fine). A reboot fully corrects the issue... for a while, at least... but that's a pain and drops my battery between ~2% - 8% each time.
I clean my cache automatically daily. Thought it was a rouge app and monitored for a while through SP, but still coming up empty. And of course, I've changed up my ringtones with the thought that my regular one was blowing my speakers (I'm a child of the 80's and lost my hearing to death metal concerts in my youth, so I have to have my ringer just a notch above blaring )
Tried Timat's (same issue), now back on Sav's kernal. Tried full wipe & Calks format, flashed back to Sense, a fresh download of the ROM I'm using, did all this twice. Tried to disable stagefright in the build.prop using GScript so I could re-able when necessary (didn't work either).
Has anyone come across this? Many thanks.

Well, you've tried everything I would've suggested...tried different kernels, flashed backed to sense, performed a full wipe, etc. I would think that flashing back to stock would've alleviated the issue if it was software related. Perhaps your speaker is starting to fail? I've seen many people reporting needing to replace the speaker. However, it is indeed odd that its intermittent, you'd think that if the speaker was failing, it'd be consistent, and a reboot wouldn't clear it up. Odd, but I don't know what else to suggest. Have you tried tweaking the settings using DSP manager at all? If all fails, and being on stock sense doesn't fix it, I'd unroot and have it looked at by Sprint probably.
Crap, I was afraid someone would say return to store (which isn't the end of the world cuz I got it through BB and they REALLY don't care if it's rooted or not. They'll just hand me a new one). Sigh... too bad too, because I got everything else running perfectly (finally) with no fc, reboots, smooth as butter save for my music.
And yeah I played around with DSP also.
Many thanks, K2. I appreciate your response.

You definitely seemed to try just about everything but did you flash a Stock RUU? I'd nandroid backup and flash it to see if the problem still exists, if you've tried that then you would only have one option left, take it to BB. Best of luck either way.
Huh... haven't tried a Stock RUU. Good call! I'll try now and report back. Thanks Blake.

You're welcome, sorry there isn't more I can suggest. As Blake said, run RUU to unroot, which I would do before you take it in anyways. (What I meant when I said "unroot and take it in). If its still out of wack then, take it in.

I attached the Stock rooted RUU but visiting HERE should return you to unrooted stock evo.
I know hat there is already a thread about this, and i posted there something that i tought it resolved the issue, but in fact it did not.
When i'm playing music outside of the google play music and press pause, either trough the status bar or the widget, sometimes the status bar controls stay there, which is what i want since sometimes you just want to pause the music for a couple of seconds, but most of the time they just vanish and i have to go to the music player to contiue the song.
This happened on CM9 and now i'm back to stock 4.0.4 and the issue still persists.
Does anybody know a fix for this?
I haven't had the controls vanish while using the phone but it gets closed pretty quickly by the system when your phone is in standby. I think it's because the player is holding a wake lock which would drain your battery if you'd forget the player is still on pause.
I use the widget as a workaround to quickly start the music again since it remembers the last song and position.
Yes! They go away once you enter the play music app. I know its a drag, but I get used to it now
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Thanks for the responses, i know that when you are on the music app it goes away and that i could hold wake lock and drain the batery, but that is useful when you going to see a video for example or respond to e-mail and want to concentrate, them you could pause the music, do whatever you gotta do and then play the music without ever leaving to the home screen.
Does anyone knows how to resolve this? bump...
Suck it up and make the extra clicks? Another case of everything is amazing nobody is happy.

Same applies with the lock screen controls - when you pause, quite often the controls will mysteriously vanish and leave you having to wade back into the music app (which is quite a pain). Wonder if it's a memory management issue - i.e. if the music app is no longer playing, we can recycle it
Oh, as for your comment - if you can't post anything helpful, best to leave this to the big boys

Hey man first thanks for your comment, this guy just seems to be troling a lot of post lately.
And yes sometimes it vanishes from the lock screen, the thing that is really bothering me is the fact that there is no consistency, so i can never be sure if the controls will be there or not
use the cm9 player it has a option to keep notification on pause.
Hey tks for the reply, i am on stock 4.0.4 for a few weaks, i was running cm9 but it seems that they will never put a beta so a went back to stock, how can i get their player? also does it sync with google music?
Get from the cm9 site. I'm also using dsp manager.

Hey,
First of all I am a new member here on XDA forums and that is why I am asking you guys here since I really can't post on the actual ROM threads.
But anyway, what are the known bugs for the VJ CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM?
I am currently having problems with the ring tone and the loudspeaker option. Ring tone for the notification for Messaging does not play when I have received a message, I still have no idea why it is doing that.
As for the loud speaker, after a while it toggles off the loud speaker. It usually occurs when the display goes to sleep; I am not sure if it is supposed to turn the display off while on a call.
Thank you in advance.
Version 5.4.1 seems to have fixed notification sound and soft reboot issue. If you're on older version, suggest you to upgrade.
Other than that stock camera flickers (you can open, close and re-open to fix this) or use any alternatives from play store. Video recording is choppy.
Everything else should be fine as far as I know.
I flashed this rom yesterday, after three months with Nikez's JB. It's great.
I don't have problem with notification sounds, volume or whatever. But I just had the infamous "SIM added. Restart your device etc..." bug.
If you can deal with it (I can), it's a great ROM.
I have a call delay problem, I need to wait for 1 to 5 sec before start talking. Sometimes notification bar gets stuck, it starts working again after a while, but once I waited for more than 1h and decided to reboot phone. Also menu sometimes doesn't show up for random period of time.
That is all I noticed for now. I use 5.4.1.
One more bug - sometimes data access over mobile network doesn't work. I try to switch on, but do not get any network availability. Calls/SMS work, but there is no Internet connectivity. When I select automatic automatic network selection, then Internet starts to work imediateley.
Anyhow, this ROM is awesome! Thanks VJ!
codecs?
My First Post... Iuppy
After using CyanogenMod 7 and a infinity loop, I decided to use this ROM, and ... is working like a charm. However some videos that worked in CM7 are not working here. Had to install MX Player. Have I missing something or do I need to install some codecs? Even the preview on gallery are not working for some videos.
Pedro
I noticed when someone calls me its silent delay for like few seconds caller cant hear me and reverse.
Is this problem for all JB Roms or just on CM ,because i noticed that on AOKP to.
I am having problems with Clock location and also with downloading language pack for swype.
Use the thread in general section that VJ opened to discuss this. You'll get better responses.
Or even better, post in the main thread in the dev section.

I am starting to hate this phone more and more everyday. It works different every time, sometimes it works great, sometimes it's bad.
Currently, i am having a problem that started appearing few days ago. So, i'm listening to music, and i notice the quality of the songs have gotten worse. I go over to settings, in walkman, and click on Sound enhancements, and this is what pops up: Sound effects currently not available
I am like, okaaaay, ill try another music player (poweramp).. the equalizer settings just disappeared from the options restarted my phone, and everything is okay again. So later that day, i plug in my headphones again, and i notice the quality is bad again, so i check the equalizer, "sound effects currently not available" what the hell, again? and everyday is like that. i restart my phone two times each day for the equalizer. why has this started happening? my phone is really smooth, no junk in it, not a lot of installed apps, everything works fine. and it can't be a jelly bean bug, because this started happening few days ago.
i swear, i am so trying to not mess with my phone, took a really good care of it from day one, i always do the clean up, never did i drop it once on the ground, so it's in the best stage, and the problems just keep appearing by itself...
anyone have this problem?
