Hello,
I listen to some podcasts on my phone, and after upgrading to Kitkat, I found that if I pause playback and want to resume after a while, it resets from the beginning.
After some poking around, it seems that the player app and services close automatically after 2 minutes of inactivity. This did not happen on JB before the update.
I have tried using other music apps from the play store and they do not show this behavior and can resume playback normally.
Can I do something about this issue or is this built into the app or the OS. I like the stock player and rather not use a different app if I don't have to.
If it is relevant, I am running on stock firmware 4.4.2 (I9195XXUCNH5).

Ive been messing around with my brothers EVO and have noticed that when playing audio in the default music player or even music players from the market they will not resume from where they are left off after being paused. They start from the beginning.
Has anyone else encountered this, or any ideas?
I've noticed this as well, but it happens with the Sense music widget, not the actual music player. There is a difference.
For example, if you downloaded an audio track from a website, and once the DL completes you tap on the notification bar, it opens the music widget instead of the full app.
Hope this helps. I don't experience this issue when using the music app.
EVO 2.2 w/3.29
Yup, thats it, hmmm what a mild inconvenience
Problem is with 3.29. I also noticed some stuttering in certain music apps.
Since i listen to a bunch of podcasts and because of some other problems i noticed, I've gone back to 3.26-with netarchy's kernels it works just as well (if not better).

I don't think it's a 3.29 issue. I've tried different roms.
Currently I'm using refined 1.04 and the music player resumes just as it should. I tried Azrael X and the music player will start from the beginning instead of resuming where it was paused.
I assume the music player needs to sore it's bookmark somewhere. Anyone have an idea where that might be? And, what's different between these 2 roms that accounts for the difference in unpausing?
Hey all,
I am experiencing a new bug with the stock Play Music app over the past week. With headphones or an auxiliary cable for my stereo plugged in, the player will pause randomly when a song is playing. And when I unpause the song it will play for anywhere between 5 and 10 seconds before pausing again. This keeps me from being able to hear an entire song. I know it is not a hardware problem because I am able to play Pandora without the music pausing. It is a problem that only occurs in the stock play music app. I am on stock 4.1 on Verizon. I am currently using jame bond khlang kernel.
Any ideas? I have tried uninstalling and re installing as well as clearing data. Nothing has helped. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
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.
The problem:
My M8 is having difficulty playing music with sound. When I try to play music on the phone, the song will play. However, there will be no sound coming out from the speakers.
What I tried already:
I tried using a different music player. I downloaded Shuttle+ and tried to play, but I keep getting the same issue. Sometimes, when I reboot the phone, the stock music app works properly, but after the currently playing song is done, it would again play but not produce sound. If I go to the Shuttle app and play a song while the song plays with no sound on the stock music app, the Shuttle app works fine. But then after the song is done on Shuttle, I have to switch to the stock music app for sound to come out properly.
I remember how Google limited SD card functionality (my music was on my sd card). So I transferred the songs onto the phone storage, but I still have the issue. Then I figured that the issue might be my mp3 files. I deleted them all to try to isolate the problem. I tried playing song from the Google Play Music app and it appears to be working fine. This morning, the google play music also exhibiting the same problem. So even Spotify is having the problem. The music will load and the slider will move to indicate the song is playing, but again no sound. I tried deleting the data of all the music apps I have and they still do not work properly.
I have xposed modules installed so I disabled all of them and restarted the phone, but the problem persists.
Also, the boomsound speakers are functioning properly. Youtube videos and regular video files play with sound. I only appear to be having problems with music.
Phone modification:
This is probably really important to figuring out what the issue is. My phone is rooted and S-off. I have xposed installed with the following modules: forced immersive mode, greenify, keepchat, nfciconremover, snapshare, unicon, youtube adaway.
Other than that, the phone is stock.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Solution
I performed a factory reset and started all over to isolate what modification caused this music bug.
Turns out, it was flashing the Tethering mod located here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708548
If you are currently experiencing this problem, go back to pure stock OR simply flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2731893
Now, if you still want tethering, install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715671.
I can confirm that installing that will give you tethering and not break music functionality!

I no longer have the M8, but I had the exact same issue. I also thought that it had something to do with storing my music to the SD Card via Google Play Music.
I would back up, flash a Rom and see if that fixes it. I'm guessing it will work fine and it's just something happened from xposed.

in KK, i can use some soft like Bluetooth autoplay on playstore to do that. but it' seem not work with L. is there another way to autoplay music when BT connected in android L?
My stock rom seems to do it. I have Bluetooth playing in the car and I get out and when I come back later and start up the car and take off the music starts playing again. But the last song playing it will start that song over from the beginning but it does all this automatically. I am on the stock rom and took all of the updates even yesterday is OJ 6?.. all stock including the music player
