Music player and Navigation

I've got a strange problem with my new Desire running Froyo. If I have the MP3 player running at the same time as Google Navigation every time a direction is spoken the music pauses and never restarts... its very annoying and not something I've experienced on other Android devices.
Is this a bug (feature?) of Froyo or just something specific to the HTC music player... any ideas?

Same happened to me when I upgraded to Froyo, although it only happens with the HTC player. I use DoubleTwist and this resumes as it should after instructions from Google Navigation.

Ah, I see... I guess that means its a HTC bug then...
Will try Doubletwist, thanks...

Well I have Froyo as well. But I use Copilot for navigation and it always restarts the mp3 music again. So must be a Google thing and not t Froyo bug.

Hi
I'm using Froyo and have the same issue with both Google Navigation and CoPilot. It's very frustrating so will give Double Twist a whirl.
Thanks

I get the same issue with stock player & Google Navigation.
In addition, the music does not resume for me after using Voice Search, or inputting voice into Google Translate.

Copilot
I use stock media player and Copilot, the problem I have is that using the 3.5 jack into the car stereo, the volume of copilot is far to low. But if the music is not playing, then the volume of copilot increases but is still very quiet. The only way to get the volume levels the same is to unplug the 3.5 mm jack and listen through the desires speaker. Sound quality not great. This used to work perfectly through the 3.5 jack and car stereo on version .606 of copilot with music playing at the same time and not being interrupted :-(

Update:
Thanks for the Advice. All working fine with DoubleTwist so I'd guess it's the stock Music app that's the guilty party.
Cheers

[Q] Disabling Android's Music Player

So this is my situation...
When I was originally using fresh evo 3.2.0.0 I was using the HTC Music app. I have this earphones where every time I click the button on the headphones it'd Pause the music or pick up the call.
However, when I switched over to DamageControl's ROM w/ using Sense, I tried the android music player. I decided I didn't like it and I went back to Sense to use the HTC music app again. However, every so often it'd just randomly turn on the Android Music app, and it'd always turn on the android music app if i clicked the "pause/pick up call" button on my earphones. Anyway, I just decided to stop using it for a while.
Few days ago, I decided to go back to Fresh Evo rom (after full dalvic+cache/cache/and factory wipe) because of other preferences, and I also thought it'd help me with my music app problem. Same problem still persists. If I lock my screen with the HTC Music app it'll switch to the Android Music App instead, and same thing if i hit the pause/pick up call button on my earphones. Is there anyway for me to disable the android music app or fix this problem?
Also, sorry in advance if this is the wrong section. I just assumed that this was an app related question.
And of course, thanks in advance!

Google Music Issue

Since the last update, google music player will just stop playing. i will be in the middle of an album (local) and it just will stop playing. It wont change songs or albums. It just goes dead until it decides to work again...any1 else having this issue?

I have seen this and I believe I have read other reports of it as well. It started after the last update. I have rolled back to the previous version.

I'm having the same issue. Thought it was just a conflict with the custom Rom I'm using. But I hear people are having the same issues on stock Jellybean too. So it has to just be the app.

They really need to fix this, I'm having the same issue. Music just stops out of the blue and doesn't want to start back.

same issue here.. I've been using Pandora until the next update.. I may just roll mine back if they take to long to get this issue fixed..

Same issue!

Google Music stops after three songs
I'm using Google Music for streaming. It stops after three songs and won't work again until I reboot. I'm using the Odex Blue Rom, latest version 1.7. I deleted the application from the system using Root Explorer and then downloaded it as an app. It still stops. I agree it must be the application as Pandora will play and not stop. It's a real pain because now I have to move my songs down to the S3 and find another player. So much for the cloud!
****SOLUTION****
DOWNLOADED old Google Play Music and it works. Deleted the version I have on my S3 (the latest version from the Google Play store). Googled "Google Music Player apk" and found a 4.1 version. Downloaded the 4.1 apk and installed. It worked. Played for over one hour with no stops from the Google cloud. Then I went back to Google Play Store and said download the latest version. But all I wanted to do is check the box that says don't automatically update and then I closed the install. I don't know how to get it not to automatically update any other way.

I've been having this issue also, sort of. I lose sound when playing music from rocket player or music player, song time counter keeps moving but no sound. Just out of curiosity are you guys having problems with other players or just Google streaming? I had this issue even before 4.1.2.

Music randomly playing out through speakers

Okay, so today I was listening to music, on my totally stock GS III. Suddenly the music switches through to the speaker, instead of going to my headphones. The first time this happen, it was when a song ended and a new song came on Google Music. The second time was when my friend texted me. My phone was on vibrate only. Obviously, this can be quite embarrassing especially when you are in a quiet zone. I checked to make sure the notification bar still had the headphone logo. I'm using regular no mic headphones. This happened earlier, is there anyway I can still logcat? Like doesn't it save all that until reboot? I don't even remember if I rebooted yet...probably..
Anyways, yeah, I tried searching, but I came up with threads on bluetooth and speakers just not working or crackling. So I think I might be the only one..?
Thanks for the help.

Only thing I can think of is maybe your headphone port is losing connectivity with your 3.5mm jack and it thinks no headphones are present?

1. background advertisements. Use adaware
2. poor installation/settings check google music and the app settings. worst comes to worst go to manage apps clear data, uninstall and re-install in market

It happened to me once or twice with google music player. Actually, since JB, google music is full of bug on my side, it randomly hangs on song switching, this bug, low volume bug until I pause and press play. Tried clearing cache/data, uninstalling couple of times, and no go.
I've given up on it and am now using rocket player with cloud music importer. I was never streaming anyway but I liked the google music interface... oh well
I'm on a stock based jellybean ROM rooted

Yes but the usual behavior is that when headphones are pulled out, it pauses the music.

I'm not sure what the advertisements have to do with the audio problem, but I do use ad blocker. I have tried flashing back to stick through kies and odin.

So I read around, looks like a couple of Jelly bean users are experiencing this, particularly with google music. This is of course stock Jelly bean for the s3

Its a ghost, bro

I have the same issue but I use rocket music player. But the worst issue I have is when I'm listening to music and someone calls me, after the call it puts full speaker volume out my headphones and blows my ears out. I would definitely be interested in a solution otherwise I will be going back to ICS myself; especially since I can't run Adobe Flash on web pages anymore.

I'll add to this I've had the same issues with my rooted stock JB from my google play player so I just switched players to power amp full version player and I could not be any happier!

Has happened to me twice in class. Was listening to a song in google music, song ended and the next one came on, except this time coming out of the speaker. Very embarrassing!

Recently read in a different forum that changing LPAplayer from true to false I think in the build.prop is a solution.... Can't remember where I read it, couldn't find it in history, probably was on my other machine...

Been looking into this more. Seems like more people are having this problem. Some suggest downgrading google music, some say the 11/12 update is bad, some say LPAplayer or something needs to be disabled, using default samsung player, which reminds me today I installed Pandora which happened to do the same thing so it must be touchwiz and it only happens on JB. Not trying to change my phone to CM10, thats a no for me. Has anyone found a real solution?

Songs cut off before the end on stock music player

Ever since I updated my device to KitKat I noticed that the stock music player skips the end of the song and starts a new one without me pressing next. I have factory reset, and wiped the cache partition as suggested by a Samsung tech support (even though I think that they don't know what they are doing, but I give them credit for trying ?). I have tried different players and the songs do play all the way on those but not the stock player. I would prefer to fix the stock player because I'm used to it and really don't like the other players, but if i don't have any options then I guess I'm out of luck. Btw, I'm running stock 4.4.2 TW not rooted. Any help you be appreciated, thanks.

I am having the exact same problem. It's only for a specific few of songs and I can predict it when I hear a song that I know does it. This has been happening to me since before the kitkat update. Anyone one else having this problem or know a fix?

I have had the same issue. It's the music file. The file wasn't 1. Downloaded properly 2. The file wasn't uploaded fully to start with.

Well I forgot to add this in my post. If I seek through the song and get close to where it skips it does not skip the ending.
I also tried using a different music player, the play music app, and it too skipped as well.

Are you dowbloading from an app or buying the song?

I'm downloading them off my computer and putting them on through the "Easy Phone Sync" application. It allows you to copy songs from your iTunes to your phone. I've tested to see if its just the actual file and the song does not skip on iTunes.

Try to copy them straight from your PC to your phone

Try what serio said. I could be wrong but im almost positive the file is being corrupted in the transfer to your phone

Temporary solution
I m using Nexus 5, Android 5.0.1 and I discovered something yesterday relating to this issue.
Play Music skips last few seconds of song and that always annoys me. But I found a temporary way to correct it.
While you are playing a song on Play Music, click Multi-Screen Soft button (next to Home soft button) and remove Play Music from stack of apps. In my phone, even though the app is removed from stack of apps, it still appears on notification ( top right corner of the screen) Now, pull down the home screen to go to notification and play the music from there. This solves the skipping of music.
I havent tested in other phones, but it works well on mine.

I have this problem too on my one touch evolve 2 running 4.4.2

Stock music player skipping...
My problem is a bit different from the ones above. I'm on a Galaxy 5 Kit Kat. The stock music player will skip the FIRST few seconds of tracks. Not all, but about 50% of them. Does not do it on the Google Player. Synced from WMP. Always worked with my Galaxy 3.
