I used to use this application all the time on my iPhone and I've never been able to get it to work properly on my Incredible.
The issue I'm having is that the audio gets choppy and cuts in and out whenever the screen is off. If I run the application with the screen on it has no issues. Screen turns off, audio goes bad within 15 seconds. I'm streaming the audio over wifi.
I'm running CyanogenMod 6.03, wifi sleep policy is set to never sleep. Pandora streams flawlessly, whether the screen is on or off.
Anyone have a fix for this? I really wish I could use this app.

When I'm streaming something on my phone and go to lock my screen my phone will stop streaming. So far I'm just streaming through the internet and using what ever is default to stream with.
Is there an app or trick that allows me to continue streaming when I lock my phone?
While playing music on my un-rooted Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII, every time I unlock my phone the music switches from the headphones I have plugged in to the phone's speaker. When I un-plug and re-plug he headphones or pause and play the music, it switches back into the headphones. This issue is very debilitating as I am often listening to music in quiet places and it's embarrassing when my music starts blaring. Thanks for your help.

I have the opposite problem. When I listen to music on my headphones the music switches to the speakers when the phone locks. I guess you never figured this out. I know my problem is due to the lockscreen app "Widget Locker". When I deactivate it the problem goes away. Guess I'll head over to the widget locker thread and poke around. I'm on an S3 as well.
Edit:
I found a cool workaround by using the Tasker app. I made a profile which disables Widget Locker when i plug my headphones in and enables it when i unplug them. Seems to work pretty flawlessly.
Do you have gapless playback??

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?
I was having issues with my Bluetooth headset not automatically activating with my watch when turned on, so unpaired an repaired it. Now, whenever I hang up on a call on my phone (not even using the watch) my watch starts playing music from the spotify app. This only happens if the spotify is set to "stream over wifi". Another fix is to quit the spotify app and turn on then off power saving mode. However if the spotify app is used again the issue comes back. It was fine until I did the Bluetooth repairing. I have uninstalled/reinstalled/ unpaired/repaired etc and this issue won't go away.
I use the running app on the phone. Shortly after I start running a graphic shows on the screen telling me to wear the watch on the outside of my wrist for the HR monitor. I am already doing this and always having to quit the notification which is annoying. It didn't do this when I first got the watch so I am wondering if an update has introduced it.
When playing music while I run (I now use music stored on the watch due to the spotify issue), sometimes it won't continue on with my playlist. It tends to stop after one song so I have to press play. I doesn't always do this. Even worse sometimes it will only play one song which I then have to keep hitting play to repeat. As I'm recording my run I can't exit the app to restart the music from the music app.
I use the voice memo app on the watch which syncs memos with the phone. For some reason when it syncs a memo it plays the notification sound on the phone about 20-30 times, so quickly some of them play over each other. It's like you've just received 20 odd messages all at once and is ridiculous.
While I like the watch overall I wish these issues could be fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions for any fixes?
