So ever since the android oreo update, the notifications control for any music app keeps the lockscreen on. Google play music, Spotify, and Pandora all keep the screen on, if I just skip, pause or play any music, the screen never shuts off, I have to manually turn it off with the power button. This is really annoying as it unnecessarily drains battery when the screen doesn't turn off.
Anyone else experience this? Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi everyone,
I've noticed when I listen to my music (using HTC Music player), the music got paused when a notification sound comes up and when the notification sound is done, the music resumes.
I love those notification sounds, but if I get a notification like every minute, my music keeps pausing for a few seconds and resume back.
It gets annoying :-s
Is there a workaround or a fix for this?
I hope someone can help me
I dont know if its the same on sense as i am using cm7, but there is an option to always play notifications over a certain speaker etc.
Alternatively, you could use Tasker or something similar to disable notifications when music is playing
So, I used wotanserver to flash r800a to my xperia play r800at, and for some reason my phone does the single vibrate, freeeeeeeeeeeze, then triple vibrate thing when I'm playing music. Here's how I replicated the situation
1) open stock music player from widget.
2) start playing song with earbuds in.
3) push power button to lock screen
4) push volume up to turn up volume, and there is a very quick vibration
5) music stutters, lags, sometimes completely freezes until the 3 vibrations which signify that something was force closed.
6) depression that my phone doesn't like having its volume changed.
Has anybody else experienced this? Any advice? I also use poweramp, but I haven't tried it on this phone because I really like the stock SE music player app.
Any help will be appreciated!
---EDIT---
The music continues to play after this sequence of events, so it's not a MAJOR issue, but it's still pretty frustrating.
Wanting to use the lock screen music controls. When plugged in, music controls stay on. (most likely due to setting to keep backlight on while charging) I want the music controls to stay on when not plugged in. Currently it time's out after about 30seconds. Then I have to press the power button again. Want music control to be available when music is playing. Anyone have any ideas? Don't care about power drain, This feature is for when I'm working out/running. Can't find anything that adjusts this.
settings>security>automatic lock
lets you change that, although only up to a delay of 30 minutes.
Hey everyone, quick question. I recently starting using Pandora and notice that when Im listening to Pandora and get a text message or email, the music pauses for a few seconds to let the notification sound. Is there a way to not let this happen? Thanks
Pandora has always been like that. As are most apps, they lower the volume to allow the notification tone go through and than jump back to full volume. I don't think there's a way to change that. Just be glad your Pandora doesn't auto change songs every 45s after a 'taste' of every song because the update has an issue with a rom.
just turn down notifications sounds to vibrate or silent, no interruptions
I'm running CM10 on a HTC One X and I'm wondering if there is any workaround to the android notifications annoyance. When music is playing, the notification will not play over the top of the music, nor dim the volume, but it will mute the music until the notification is over. This means that you miss parts of a song or a podcast if you get a message.
I know certain apps can bypass this. For instance, Whatsapp notifications play over the top of music without interrupting it. Is there any global workaround?
the only way i found is by putting profile to vibrate or silent during music...
