Music / Navigation / Bluetooth conflict - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When listening to music (I've tried several apps) in the car using A2DP and getting turn by turn navigation I have an issue with the muting. It only happens when using bluetooth. The map app mutes the music when needed but I get no sound (directions) for about 3 seconds. I may hear the very end of the directions or not, depends on how long it takes. It seems Google Map knows to mute the music but that is also mutes the map app for a while.
This worked perfectly on my S2. This is a bone stock SM-900A
Ideas?

I have the same issue. Using the stock music player, switch to the Google player and all is good.

Thanks for the reply
Tried that, didn't help me. Nor did PowerAmp or Rocket music players.
ATT update this morning, hopefully that made a difference. I'l re-install the Google Player.

Problem with stock Froyo music player

Hi All,
I noticed that my froyo stock music player on my captivate does not allow me to continue where I left off whenever I close the application. The stock music player on android 2.1 was able to do this. It gets kind of frustrating to start the song list from the beginning each time I open up the stock music player. Is there another alternative music player that is better than the stock music player? Or is it possible to load the stock music player for 2.1 on froyo?
I hear ya its annoying. Dont know how to fix it but would like to know too

When you open the player there should be a now playing tab. Tap it to get to the last song played.

Really? When I'm listening to music and get a call it pauses the music. When I hang up it goes right back to playing. I never get the chance to pause before answering the call.
Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is. I got a call earlier it paused it then when I hung up... nothing. And I checked it out again and if I pause it and do something else and come right back its still there. But if I wait and take a minute its gone. Whatever just waiting for official release whenever that is to fix some issues.

I don't see the "Now Playing Tab" on my stock music player. It was there on android 2.1, but after upgrading to Froyo, I do not see that anymore.

That's the exact same problem I'm facing. I'm currently using "mixzing" music player. It's works pretty good. It also allow me to select where my music mp3 folders are located and only play that folder.

[Q] playlist lost

Ok Im on .890, rooted, debloated. I create a playlist in the stock music app. Add songs to it and finally save it. When I reboot the playlist shows in the list, but when i try to play it it says its empty. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas?
The stock music app is horrible, and I've experianced the same issue before. Use a third party player such as POWERAMP.

I second the vote for PowerAmp. I love having an equalizer with custom profiles. 1 profile for my car, 1 for listening, and 1 for working out.
Player pro is where its at.

I also have that problem! Did you solve it?

Yes, just open the app and use the media controls.
From what I've found, whatever music player is currently running on your device at the time, the media controls on the Gear will control it,

Can agree with the above, have used MX player, Spotify, Google music and now stock samsung player. All works good.
You can even control YouTube and other video players

This. Can confirm.
Not for me. Just tried it on Google Music and it turned on the stock music player and started playing from the first song in my files.

Same experience here.
It works when the player is actually playing something. If you pause then when you unpause it will use whatever default player you have, but it will work as long as you don't stop playing. Switching songs will work tho

You have to make sure that the player you want to control is the only one active on your device. If you just listened to Google All Access and want to control Poweramp, make sure All Access is closed all the way.

I only use google. Never used any of the other players.
Not anymore
I used to be able to control Google Play Music from the media controller however, after a firmware update at the end of Jan it no longer works. If I try to skip track it opens the Samsung music player and starts playing that. Annoying as this was one of the functions I really wanted, skip tracks whilst walking without having to dig your device out.

App to control Pandora

Just realized that with stock music controls that works for play music, doesn't work for Pandora. I can pause music but not change songs. Anyone know of a app that will allow this?
Edit: I'm actually thinking I can't change songs because I'm out of skips. Hopefully that's all it is.

Resume Music with inline headset

Has anybody run into the issue of being able to pause music with the inline button on their headphones, but not able to resume music?
I'm not using the stock Samsung headphones, but on my Note 3 I didn't have a problem pausing/resuming music with these headphones.
Yeah, for me the music app rarely responds to play/pause and is inconsistent about loading at all. Very frustrating.

I'm getting this issue using Google Play Music as well. I think I might have remembered this issue when I was using my Note 3. I might try disabling the music app and see if that fixes it!
I have similar issues with the controls... e.g. I'll be watching kodi and press the play/pause button... the video will stop and my music app (which isn't even open) will immediately start playing. Pressing the button again will pause the music and so on... like kodi doesnt exist.... dont seem to have the issue with pandora though... is there any particular software running that tells the inline controls to only support music or whatever? Can it be configured?
