I was wondering, is there some way to get the google music now playing notification (with the play, next and x) to stay. For example, when you first flash a new rom (after a clean wipe) and you start up google music, play a song and then pause it, it will stay in the notification bar.
The moment you reboot the phone, however, this function disappears. You will still be able to skip and pause, but the moment you press pause the notification will disappear. The only way to keep it is to start youtube or some other music player while it's playing.
I know that Google's intention was for it to stay (since they included an 'x' to get rid of it), so do any of you know how?

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

Hello guys,
I've been tracking a very annoying issue with HTC's stock Music App.
***Short Version***: The player "forgets" where in a song it has been and restarts the song from 0:00.
I realized it, because I listen to audiobooks a lot and it is a pain to search for the point where you've been all the time. Enough background: Here is how to reproduce it:
Open the "Music" app, choose a new track, let it play for some seconds
Shut down the screen with the power button (music still playing)
Wake the screen with the power button and PAUSE the track
Now wait for a certain amount of time. I have to wait two[/i| minutes. My screen goes dark in the meantime (auto-sleep enabled)
[*]Wake the screen with the power button. 1st thing to realize: The Music widget is gone. Unlock the lockscreen --> Now the track is at 0:00 again.
[*]If this does not reproduce it (sometimes it seems to work fine): follow the above list but unlock the screen with a MotionLaunch leading to an App. From there go to Home and start Music from the homescreen.
Do you have this behaviour as well?
I have tried different versions of Viper ROM and ARHD - both react the same.
Do you think this could be a firmware issue? Or a bug in a new version of HTC's Music App?
I'm pretty sure this hasn't always been like that and I have recently updated to 2.22.401.4 with a FUU.
Hi Gang,
So I start a song playing on google play music. I get the card to pop up with the artist name and the pause button on the bottom of the face.
Then, within a second, it disappears. I can press pause and play on my phone quickly and it'll happen again. If I time it right, I can "catch" the card before it disappears, but if I try to do any media controls it does the control on Google Play Music but then the card disappears again.
Anyone else seeing this? I wonder if I can do a harder factory reset than the "reset device" option, because I've done that twice already?
Thanks!
Nobody on this?
I've since installed Music Boss to help with media controls, but would be nice to know if other people are experiencing issues with the stock music card.
Not sure if media controls are even listed as a feature for the 360. Please someone chime in! Thank you :laugh:
Anyone? I need to know if mine is bugged and if I need to contact Best Buy about this and get an exchange, or try to flash the thing back to factory.
When you press play in Google Music do you get the card? Can you play/pause without it disappearing randomly? Does it disappear on load sometimes? Help a brother out...
I wasn't really paying attention to mine. When I was, the card was always there.

I'm experiencing a similar problem. Every time I re-connect my 360 to my phone, the media card pops up, and it says it's playing a tv show on netflix... every single time I re-connect. I've restored the watch, reinstalled android wear...etc.
Same thing here. Driving me nuts as it's probably the most useful card.
Happen to me today, after update android wear and it is force the watch to reboot.
Media control card will disappear after couple songs, need to pause and replay the song again from my phone to show the card again.
Funny thing is the lyrics card from musiXmatch is still there.
and just curious, anyone feel the last android wear update is affecting the battery life?
before my watch can last for 2 days. (14 hours / day).
now my watch already dead at 9.30PM (unplug from charger at 7AM)
Card disappears as soon as I hit play
I'm having a related issue too, possibly as the result of upgrading my phone to Lollipop (it only started happening since then, and Lollipop has more settings to prioritise notifications). Where I used to get a generic media controls card with the name of the artist and a pause button, with a swipe right revealing a screen with volume and back/next buttons, I now get a card with the Play Music logo and the track name, which only shows when the music is paused. This card doesn't have a play button until you swipe, and swiping right only reveals one control at a time, not all four on one screen (quite annoying to use actually). I'm using a Moto 360 as well, however I doubt that it is in any way specific to that. I'm also using Play Music as my music player. My primary suspicion is that the generic media controls went with the lockscreen widgets that Google axed in Lollipop, and that Play Music offers a fallback which happens to be quite bad. Any ideas?

After some quick Googling, it looks like my hypothesis was correct! A leaked update to the update to the Wear app seems to fix the issue for Lollipop, see http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...l-makeover-but-only-on-lollipop-apk-download/
Ok, so i looked in the forums and found no one had this... but I launch the google play music app, pick ANY radio station, start a tune, it will play just fine.
Now, once the song is over, OR if I decide to skip a song, the app will start playing the next track as expected however, after 4 ~ 7 seconds of playback, the song skips, and goes to the next song again. I have seen the phone do this, while unlocked, I was just looking at it, nothing touching it and the skip occurs.
Uninstalled the app, the cache, all the play store updates/cache/data as well - same thing.
spotify, radiotunes, etc -- all work fine
poweramp for local content -= same thing, no issues.
google play support has so far been unable to help me.
anyone else experience this?
running stock 3.2.1 not rooted.
I don't know exactly since when this is happening, but whenever I play music and then want to take a picture (camera app or inside whatsapp for example) the music stops playing.
And not only does it stop playing. Play Music completely disappears from the statusbar and I have to reopen the app to start playing music again. Also it doesn't save the state of the played song.
It's really annoying!, if I have some others apps running in the status bar (like a reminder) them disappear too, and almost all time Nova Launcher has to refresh itself when I go back to homescreen, I never had that problem with my old Nexus 5 :/
By the way, Im using stock Rom 7.1.2
