Music stops for notifications - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This was never an issue with my X10 and I cnanot find a way to change this behavior.
Just because I get a notification, I do not need the music to stop. This is app independent, it is like the OS notifications will stop all other sound.
How can I stop this behavior?

i dont think you can. If the music didn't stop how would you hear the notifications. Don't you want it to stop the music for incoming calls... well its the same principle.

I can hear it because it would play over the music, it doesn't need to fully stop, it didst stop on my x10, it didn't stop on my ip3g..
It is insanely annoying for the sound to just stop wait 1/2 second then play a notification, then wait 1/2 second then start again.

Default music player doesn't allow this. Grab RingDroid from the Play Store.

you could put the mp3 in a "Ringtones" folder, then pick the file from sound in settings.
With ringdroid i can only set it as a notification,can't use it as ringtone.
And tried to copy the file to the Music folder and media/audio folder but i can't see it in my settings
Default music player does let you set the ring tone-
Just "long press" on the track and the option appears:

Is the Smartwatch any good?
Good question, I won my smart watch in a phones4u comp, I thinks it's great but not sure I would feel that way if I paid full Price.
If you set the clock display to always on the battery won't last a day. I have it set to come on when double tapping the screen. Not so handy if your struggling with the shopping!
Other than that it's pretty impressive, being able to quickly glance at notifications saves taking the phone out of your pocket constantly and mp3 control, whilst basic, is a nice touch.
It does however have a detrimental effect on your phones battery and keeps disconnecting from the Z (worked perfect on the S) maybe the next update will sort it.

Cool.
Thanks for answering.
Am I right in thinking it doesn't work as a hands-free kit?

It does not have a speaker so no good as a hands free, You can answer and reject calls but only any real use if your use a blue tooth headset- or as I do a blue tooth car stereo.

I've downloaded a music player from play store and the player had the option for it.

To set one of mp3s as a ringtone you don't need to download anything extra. Just go to the sound setting and on the top right hand side of the screen press the Music Symbol and then you'll have access to all your music on your pone.
Revert back to default ringtones folder
GO TO->Settings->Apps->all->Tap on THREE dots & reset apps preferences.
NOW GO TO-.SETTINGS->SOUND->UNDER RINGTONES&VIBRATIONS, TAP->PHONE RINGTONES->TAP SIM1/SIM2->U'LL FIND SOUND PICKER,FILE COMMANDER & SO;SELECT SOUND PICKER TO SELECT XPERIA'S PRELOADED RINGTONES,THAT'S IT!

It seems like a minor issue for you guy, but it interrupt me a lot when my friend storm a comment on my Facebook.

Nice question, this annoys me also. But I have just always put up with it.

[Q] Alarm with mp3 sound on LG G R

I wonder if it is possible to ring an alarm with self choosen sound on my watch. Which applications if any are available.
At this moment with the standard I should choose a 15 minutes tameframe, the watch makes a buzz but that won't get me awake.
Thanks.

The watch has no speakers. So the music would need to play on your phone or a separate speaker.
The Runtastic Sleep Better app allows you to put a Alarm of your choice and tracks other sleep information. But it's not tied to the watch, it runs on the phone.

Bluetooth autoplays sound files in car when trying to use google navigation.

Until about a week or so ago when I connected N6 to car system via bluetooth and used google maps, I got just the google nav voice. Now I start hearing media files, even ringtones and movie sound tracks. I have turned off settings for autoplay in Bluetooth settings, and try to turn off in PowerAmp. Problem is if I stop or pause the playing of the sound track in Poweramp then I lose the Nav voice as well. If I pause or stop the track playing in the car system I also lose the nav voice sound. I have flashed nothing at all between the acceptable nav-voice-only behavior and the onset of the automatic media file playing. Only thing that has happened was playstore updates including PowerAmp, and Google Maps. I did a search in this forum but found nothing about this. Driving me more nuts than usual.
Any help would be appreciated .
Seriously? Only 2 of us have this problem? Really need solution as Google navigation is basically useless until this is solved.
I've had the same problem. I haven't found a solution. I think using voice control has something to do with it.

Do you ever use Google Music in your car?
I don't know if this will be the answer or not, but if you do have it, it's possible some of these files ended up in the queue. Open up Google Music and click the three dots in the upper right. There should be an option in there to 'Clear Queue' or something like that.
Since this seems to be more or less random media files and not actually songs, I don't know if this is the fix or not, but worth giving a shot.

I just started having this problem as well, and I have no audio player app (rely on built in player of ES File exporer). If you pause the song playing, then Navigation voice works. But whenever the voice says something, the audio file it randomly selected advances that amount of time as though it's playing too

Thanks for your response. No, don't even have Google music. I use poweramp but will see if I can clear queue or something. I haven't used it in the car but that's what is playing the sound files. I went into Poweramp while the sounds were playing and paused it and the sounds stopped. But Nav voice never came back.

So strange. Have you tried using nav (walking maybe?) while not in the car? I'm wondering if you could point it to an app problem or possibly bluetooth problem. What about if you use the nav in the car without going through bluetooth?
I'd also try freezing PowerAmp while using Nav and seeing if that works.
Try to eliminate as many variables as possible and see if you can pinpoint exactly what's causing the issue, then maybe we can find out why.
Other ideas would be clearing data from PowerAmp, test, Maps, test, then Google's voice-to-text or whatever the 'voice' app is that produces the turn-by-turn, test and see if you can nail down exactly what app it is.

Thanks. It plays songs as well as ring tones - - - any sound files it can find apparently. If I pause the player, nav voice stops too. Don't know why it suddenly started doing this. I have not had this happen before in my 11 1/2 months of Nexus 6. Same rom /kernel everything since mid August with no problems until last week. May have to go into Titanium and freeze Poweramp. What idiot dreamed up forcing bluetooth autoplay on us? At least Google maps has an option to play voice over bluetooth or not. Oh, well - - the joys of Nexus.
So I Went into Titanium and froze all music player apps. No more autoplay. Tomorrow I'll see if it sticks and whether nav voice plays over bluetooth. Pita to have to do it this way.

Unfortunately I have nothing to freeze, so I still need a fix. Gonna play around with some of the Google apps and see if maybe one of them (or an update) is causing this. Will let you know
UPDATE: OK for me the issue comes up if I use OK GOOGLE to start things off. The audio time counter advances whenever Candace (name given by my wife to the Navigation voice) speaks. Counter then pauses until she speaks again, then pauses, etc.
If I start Navigation without using OK Google commands, audio time counter does nothing when Candace speaks.
So I think it's one of the google apps. I rolled back a number of them to their default version, but that didn't matter. Could be one I didn't try or even another app. Again I have no music players installed. I use the audio player of ES File Explorer as needed.

Yup. Nav voice over bluetooth is fine. Next step is to unfreeze poweramp & see if autoplay comes back. I'll have wait until next week to try it tho.

Notification's sound over music

Hello everyone,
Every time I'm listening to music on my MI9 and I get a notification (from WhatsApp or other apps) the music volume goes down for the time of the notification and then goes up again. So if I get 10 notifications the volume of the music I'm listening to goes down and up 10 times in a row... Ugh... It's insane... I can't peacefully listen to music while I drive, for example...
Is there a way to shut off the notification's sound while playing music, or to not let the volume of the music apps going down (It also happen with Amazon music app, not only with the default player).
Thank you for your wise advices
P.s. Phone is not rooted

Hi, I think it's default "correct" behaviour (or could be a bug * working as intended *) on stock MIUI...
You could try to change the ring behavior, i.e. change to DND mode or something ?
As for me, I would recommand taking the time to flash something like Xiaomi.eu rom (can find a lot of info here on XDA), or another custom rom based on MIUI.
That fixed sooooo many of those stupid things with the stock rom, that are just working the way Xiaomi likes, but won't make sense in my opinion (see the notification icons that disapear in favour of the clock on the status bar, even if you don't dismiss them, etc.)
You don"t have to root after but really that's a must I think, it made me keep the phone, haha!
