new samsung lover here used to Iphones, just got myself a galaxy s3 last week. But I have one curious Question. It COULD be a setting i'm missing but i've been googling over and over and over since day one on this one so don't flame me! haha.
If I have music playing and I receive a text message or some kind of notification, it turns the music down plays the notification sound, then turns it back up. Is there a setting to make it so it plays it WHILE the music is playing?. I want to hear I got one but I do not want it to cut my music out. I'm kind of a texting addict and vibrate doesn't work too well for me but it drives me nuts that my music gets muted to play a sound, am I back in the 90's when only one sound can be played at once?. Honestly...thats the only beef i have with this phone after farting with it this past week.... .
Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible... it's a feature of the OS.
Use poweramp, and you can change the setting for this. It's a much better player in my opinion anyways

I just received my Epic 4G Touch on Friday, and I'm experiencing an issue where notification sounds will always be played through the phone speaker even though I have headphones plugged in. I am using the stock ROM, and this behavior is happening rooted or unrooted (I just rooted this morning).
Here are the different scenarios where I always have this happen now.
- Listening to a podcast through Pocketcasts with my phone directly connected to my car stereo system via headphone jack. Podcast is playing through the car speakers just fine. I will receive a gtalk chat, and the podcast is silenced briefly to play the notification sound, however the notification sound will be played from the phone speaker.
- Listening to music through the Google Music app with headphones at the gym. I'll be using the C25K app to send a verbal notification for when to run or walk. It plays through the phone speaker and alerts the whole gym. =\
- And then I just tested it right now. With literally NOTHING playing in the background but with a pair of headphones plugged in. I sent myself a gtalk message from an alternate account, and it plays the gtalk notification sound through the phone speaker.
I upgraded from an HTC EVO 4G, so this is obviously bizarre behavior and not a problem I experienced with my previous phone. It worked properly.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?
Not sure what is kosher behavior here on the forums, but since this thread hadn't gotten a response yet and had fallen to the second page, I just wanted to give it a little bump back up.
Hopefully others can at least confirm whether or not they are also experiencing this problem.
I actually used to experience this with my Epic 4G
and I literally just tested it (the way you did, with just the headphones in) on my ET4G and yup, I get the same thing
Also, on my Epic 4G, my music would stop playing if 1. my ringer volume was NOT on silent/vibrate and 2. when I got a notification
so I'm more than sure my ET4G does it as well
I have not utilized the new voice features on the ET4G, so I can't comment on that
I don't know if this is a flawed or purposed design, but you are not alone, lol
*I don't know if there are any fixes for it. only thing I could imagine would be some kind of custom rom
has there been any fix for this?
Music + Headphone + Notification = Angry Coworkers
I need to bump this question up (instead of reposting the question). This has annoyed me for a while, but today I was blasting my music with my headphones on, then suddenly I got a meeting reminder. Playing the notification over the speakerphone is one thing, but when the notification is played via the phone's speaker, it also blasts my music via the phone speaker throughout the duration of the notification too!
The only resolution I see for now is to put the phone on silent whenever you want to listen to music via your headset, otherwise if you get a notification, people will get a loud blast of Lenny Kravitz.
Does anyone know if this happens with the more popular custom roms? I'm currently stock. Thanks!
I have this issue also, the silent mode only works sometimes for some reason
Loving my Galaxy Note 2, but I do have a few minor niggles regarding the stock Music Player that I'm hoping someone may be able to help with. I'm on stock firmware btw.
#1 Headphone play button often does not respond if left in pause mode for over a few minutes.
Allow me to explain - I'm at my desk at work listening to music with the stock music program. I get a phone call on my work phone so I click the headset button to pause the music. I finish my call and press the headset button to resume music. No response. Sometimes if I click once, twice or three times more it will start playing again. It's like the phone enters a sleep mode that won't respond straight away.
#2 Music EQ gets lost when something else happens on the phone.
For example, if I unplug my headphones to go for a walk to another part of the office. I return moments later, plug my headphones back in but the EQ is all messed up. Almost sounds like you’re in a tunnel. If I click the EQ button it immediately reverts to the correct EQ setting. This can also be simulated on demand by having music playing, swipe your hand over the screen to take a screenshot (music fades out, there is a camera click sound), then when the music fades back in it has gone into that tunnel EQ sound. Again, clicking the EQ button sorts the issue out.
I have considered moving to a different music program instead. I've tried Google Music (which has it's own bugs like album art disappearing), Winamp etc but for some reason the stock player's EQ settings (custom extended with Bass on 2, and Clarity on 1) make my Sony headphones respond far better than the EQ's in the other programs. And you can put a spot of reverb on the music as well which sounds ace.
No one else has these problems? Does no one use the Note 2 for music listening?
Note 2

I have had some issues with my Note 2 also. Coming from Htc One XL with beats audio which some people don't like, however I did. Whenever I plug my headphones in the sound quality is just not as good but compared to HTC output sound is so much better.
Ive tried Original settings with phone plus added beats mods, but neither are producing same I quality I had with HTC phone, which is a pain as I do listen to music regularly on my phone. Not sure if makes big difference but thought I'd better mention I'm using in ear phones not headphones.
similar issue here.. sometimes the headset next/pause button works.. sometimes it doenst.. looks like once the phone sleeps it doesnt want to respond .. but response if i wake up ,, which is just stupid.
Hi,
I have 2 HOX, one for me and one for my girlfriend.
When she listen to YouTube she have weird "ticking" sound which drive us crazy.
ITs mainly while using the speaker.
I've searched and some people suggested restart, is that really that bad design by HTC ?
Yes this is a very well known issue unfortunately, also happens during listening to music too; speakers or aux-out to car.
Youtube is more likely however "cropping" while mp3 is during data state change from 3G to H, which does happen just all the time.
Really annoying.. One fella said that he got rid of it with JB update so I'm waiting. Otherwise, to service. its just not bearable
Ok say my previous phones were both Nexus devices, when I listen to music and sound is on it would lower the music volume and play the notification sound. Now on my Galaxy S3 when it comes in it completely cuts out and this is VERY annoying for an avid music listener. Is there a way to fix this?
I've seen online I can use power AMP and I will be good but I would like to use the Samsung Music Player.
I also know I can set it to vibrate to stop the sound from going off but the thing is, I like hearing the sound I just hate it completely cutting out the music. Any ideas would be useful!
I've been using a Voyager HD Pro for a few years, and I've been very happy with it, even listening to tons of audiobooks with it.
Unfortunately, one day I left it out of its case and the dog ate it to bits, so I had to get a new Voyager Legend instead. Very happy with Legend too, better interface, better sound and better battery.
However, when listening to audio books with Audible, whenever I get a call, the audiobook doesn't resume after the call. The app shows that it's playing, but no sound is heard. I try to pause/restart with the button on the headset, but that doesn't help either, so I have to take the phone out of my pocket and manually restart the sound. I know this is a little #whitewhine, but it actually bothers me, since it happens several times a day!
I'm running ARHD rom with all apps updated, and as far as I know there are no software updates missing.
