When running the Spotify app, the active album / track is plumbed through the lock screen UI in the same manner as the inbuilt Zune module.
However if you pause a Spotify track for any length of time then it eventually disappears from the lock screen. Depending on what you do next you can easily crash the Spotify app.
By contrast you can suspend tracks initiated through the Zune indefinitely.
Anyone else noticed this behavior? Is this because the Mango API doesn't allow the same level of access to third party apps as it does to the inbuilt core MS Zune App?

Hi all on any of my wm 6.5 phones I could use gps and play music at the same time. When gps was reading instruction like camera warning or directiins it was doing that without mutting music playback. Android mutes the music each time gps wants to pass on message (turn left and the like) is there a way to stop it from doing so?
if you install CM7, there are some extra options in the sound menu that may enable this feature.
Is there any way to disable the KitKat music lockscreen feature? I would prefer to see my default lockscreen widget (DashClock) and not the music control upon waking up my device. With the music lockscreen, it overrides the default order and shows up first upon device wake.
The reason for asking is because I'm mounting the Nexus 7 in the car. With the DashNotifier extension, DashClock can automatically turn on the screen and display new notifications as they come in. However, if I'm running Spotify (or other music apps), the music lockscreen controls would be shown first instead, requiring me to swipe once before displaying DashClock. This defeats the purpose of automating the entire process for hands-free notifications. So is there any way to disable the music lockscreen or make DashClock show as default regardless of music playback?
Hi!
I have tried two headphones (Sennheiser M2 IEBT and Focal Listen Wireless) and two audio players (Youtube Music and BlackPlayer) and got the same result: after toggling a pause on headset any attempt to resume a playback after a couple of minutes results in nothing. That is Bluetooth control is lost. I'm forced to take a phone, unlock, start player and start playing back.
It is interesting, with Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4 I don't have the problem regardless headphones and players: Bluetooth control is kept at any case.
The most performant mode is selected in battery settings. The last official firmware (169) is installed.
Please, help me to resolve this very annoying issue!
I've noticed that when I play media content using a third-party app and then pause it from a Bluetooth device, sometimes that app gets terminated in the background and when I try to resume, it starts playing from the stock EMUI music app instead.
Although I haven't tried this, disabling battery optimisations for your music apps might prevent them from being terminated in the background.
Yes, all battery optimisations for players are disabled. Also, a lock was activated for players on recent apps screen.
I have tried a couple of settings on the developer configuration list (amount of background processes and amount of Bluetooth devices), but was not lucky.
Ok, can you, please, share your experience in having or not-having described problem?
When you listen to music on Spotify on your PC and have your smartphone next to you, I noticed that at some point the Spotify app will close and MotionSense will stop working (at least for me).
This Tasker profile will do the following:
Trigger
A notification from "Pixel Ambient Services" comes (read: "Song playing: ..."). While the song is playing, this notification even refreshes automatically.
Action
- Check if Spotify is running via "sudo ps -A | grep com.spotify.music"
- Launch Spotify if it isn't already open
Requirements
- root (ps without root will show nothing)
- Notification Listener (the built in Notification listener doesn't show the "Pixel Ambient Services" app for whatever reason)
- Be in range of your PC so your phone detects the song
Here is the Tasker profile as a link:

I upgraded from a Galaxy S10e back in November. On that, YouTube Music, or whatever my last media player was (Podcast Addict, Audible, etc.) would always show and be ready to play as soon as hit Start in Maps. This doesn't happen on my P6 Pro. I have to start my music first, then start Maps.
YouTube Music is set as my default media player under "Assistant default media provider." I thought it might be because Android was auto closing YTM after some time sitting in the background, which the Galaxy didn't do. However, I changed the battery usage to Unrestricted, but that hasn't fixed the issue. I have a few other issue with Maps, but this is the one that bugs me the most.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior, or maybe have a fix? Thank you.
