Just bought the player and now i realize this annoying issue:
Every time i click or double click headset button (or the song is over and the next one starts), the device wakes up.
Anyone know if there are settings which can control songs without waking up the phone?
Or a application for it? I've tried several already,but this issue remains only with the n7player.

It seems lock screen media controls only appear if there is just one music/podcast app launched (foreground or background)
Does anyone know how to fix that?

So you basically want permanent music controls even if you don't listen to anything?
I've searched for that myself in different forums but can't find anything.. best solution is to use a headset that has a play/stop button so even if there's nothing on the screenlock and I push the "play" button the last audio app starts again (either podcast or spotify).
Anyhow, if you find a permanent solution please let us know here

not really, but I guess that would be nice too
What I want is to have media controls when I'm listening to something.
Currently if I'm listening to music and listened to podcasts earlier (beyondpod is in background) media controls are not visible on the lock screen
I have to kill beyondpod to get them back.
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/
Since the new March update, my Bluetooth does not work when my screen is off. Help!
To elaborate, my phone and radio connect. When I want to skip a song, I have to wake the device. This was not the case in the previous version. I have it as a trusted devise and tried to disable dose in many combinations without any success. Any ideas?
When you turn on the device is it on the current app that's playing music? I noticed if I go to another app/homescreen I can shut off the screen with the music still playing.
I'm not looking to shut it off, I want to be able to drive and skip songs via my radio skip feature. It doesn't matter if it's the open app or not, it does not respond if the screen is off
I have an update and solution to my previous message about my Bluetooth not allowing my car radio to play via Bluetooth. I found the problem. For some reason, if my phone shuts off without a lock screen, it shuts off my Bluetooth from changing or pausing music. The song will play, but I will have no ability to make any changes. The solution is to only allow the phone to turn off with a lock screen on so that any time my phone turns off whether I push to lock or it times outs the lock screen will show up and as long as the lock screen is on my Bluetooth works. I don't know why this is the case but I least found a workaround.
I was losing my mind trying to chase down this exact same issue, but setting it to lock as you did seems to have resolved it. Thanks!
Thanks! I was going crazy trying to sort this for my girlfriends 6P and had a hint it was lockscreen related as it seemed to work if you turned the screen off manually (which goes to lock immediately, rather than the 10 minute delay she was using)
Thanks for confirming and that it isn't a one off issue with her device, this is definitely a bug Google need to fix!

Hello Agouracaguy, I'm facing a similar problem with my LG G4 connected with my JBL Horizon speaker, I wonder if you could help me solve this problem:
I'm trying to use my bluetooth speaker to play my Spotify for alarm. The problem is that when I set the alarm for less than one hour, for example, the alarm plays my spotify perfectly. The big problem is that I want to set the alarm at night to play in the next morning and when the alarm is set for a long period like this, my LG G4 simple doesn't play the spotify which makes my JBL to sound the beep alarm instead of the spotify.
When it happens I've noticed that when I turn my G4's screen on it starts playing the spotify. I've already added my JBL as a trusted device, I've already left my phone unlocked but none of theses made no difference.
I've tested my JBL with other phone, a Zenfone, and no matter for how long the alarm was set, it was able to play spotify flawless.
Do you have any idea how I could solve this?
Hi,
since some of the last updates or the upgrade to android 8 there is a really really annoying behaviour of OOS:
When I take my phone out of my pocket and maybe accidently pushing a button the music player starts playing. When I am listening to music at that moment the track starts from the beginning.
Can't find any settings to interrupt that.
Music player is Pulsar Pro but it's looking like an OS "feature".
thanks
I think the problem is related to screen off gesture (the ones regarding music controls)

Thank you for the answer. I will try it and deactivated the gesture control.
But I had never before this kind of problems.
