Screen wakes up when music switches? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I switch a track or a new podcast it wakes up my screen. Is there a way to disable this? It's never happened on any other phone before.

I am, it happens on Pocketcast too.

I'm using Google Play Music, don't have that problem (tried by leaving app in the foreground with screen off as well as with app running in background in the notification area).
Possible Pushbullet sync issue?

I have this exact issue in Google Play Music when connected to my cars via bluetooth. But it is only when I force switch tracks if it's just playing its fine.

Music - stock music player "notification controller" bug. Any fix?

The stock Music player on the xoom has an interactive notification, as I am sure you all know, where you can control your music while its playing in the background with the little headphones icon at the bottom of the screen. Since the beginning of owning the xoom I have experianced this icon randomly disappearing from the notification bar and not coming back sometimes even after restarting the app.
Does anyone else get this? If so, anyone know a solution?
Ok I get it. Apparently its not a topic of interest. ...just kidding (well sort of)
But really can anyone at least say if they also get this problem from time to time? Iam just curious.

I experience this bug as well. In fact, I am listening to music right now and the notification controller is missing. I am on an Asus Transformer though..

Must be in the original app. Doesn't surprise me, guess its on to waiting for an update.

all you have to do is go back into the music player then hit the home button and it should appear, annoying but it works
i get the complete opposite of this. my music icon (aka the headphones) will randomly appear when im not listening to music. it's only started since i flashed my canadian xoom with the US 3.1 firmware

Music beta

Has anyone got the music beta working on their hd2? I can access it just fine from my computer and my xoom but not from my phone. Is there something I'm missing?

music sync from phone
hi Same here
i've just received acceptation for music beta invitation, and I've been able to upload music from my laptop to my google music account.
I can now listen to music through my google account via web browser (laptop and phone)
The only probleme is that I can't manage to get access to this cloud from the music app (the new one) on my HD2.
note : There's no option in my google account manager for google music (like picasa, mail or contacts)
note 2 : would that trouble come from the fact that I'm in france ?
I haven't tried to access through the browser, will give that a shot now. I'm guessing that we will have app access after the beta. I hope anyways

I uninstalled the music app from my hd2 then installed app from music beta website(directed me to google web app site). Music app on phone then worked. Hit menu settings to access music on computer. Hope this helps.
I have it on my HD2 it took like 36 hrs after being invited for the app on my phone to actually connect with the cloud servers, now works great!!
Heed Beergenius
Try what beergenius suggested. I installed the Music Beta app to my phone prior to getting the invitation. Once I received the invitation and uploaded all my music I was still unable to access it from phone. I looked under my account sync and there was no music option. Uninstalled Music app and reinstalled. All my music instantly appeared and when looking under account sync, music checkbox was now available.

Do these require the default apps

On my gear I noticed that the quick reply feature for text messages does not work unless you are using the stock app I the note 3. Also the media controller did not work with any app other than the Samson music app. Did I configure something wrong or is that the way it is designed?

can't talk about text replying, but 3rd party music players works for me.
i'm using poweramp and i am able to control music using my gear. it doesn't show albumart though.
just make sure you do not have more than 1 music player installed, as sometimes it goes crazy and it will control music through samsung app...

dont know with the messages, but for the media controller i got a dirty fix that works well in my case.
i only use spotify for music, and a audiobook player app, so i simply froze the stock music app with titanium backup and now it works like a charm for my other apps.
the funny thing was that before i froze it, i could control other audio apps, but i had to first push a button on the media controller, then go to the phone and kill the stock music app, after that it recognized the other audio app..
hope this helps :good:

Touchless music controls are absolute crap at this point. They are significantly improved if you switch the music player called Shuttle.
1. Install shuttle
2. Tell google now to listen to ____
3. The google now screen will come up and it will have your command listed on it. Click the drop down that has the google play store icon and select shuttle music player instead
It doesn't work I installed it and tries without luck

Try another song. The google voice controls for music playback are really spotty at this point. If it doesn't work for any song, that might indicate that something can still be done. If it doesn't work for just a single song, that is probably just an issue with that song.
Are the songs on your phone, or on Google's cloud service?

i tried with various, some of them from google play music service,some of them from my local storage,and the same,only web search en youtube videos.
Hmm, I'm not sure what is going on there. Did you not have anything on the google now screen that was listed above the search results? There is usually something that shows an image of the artist and the app that it will execute the action with.

Metafy doesnt show track after spotify update :(

Hello.
I've been using an app in my androidphone "Metafy" that shows track and artist on my pebble when using spotify. Since the latest update of Spotify this does not work any more. Any one have the same problem?

Found an alternative app for sending Spotify info to the Pebble music controller that seems to work.
(BTW I'm using galaxy s3 and liquid smooth ROM 4.4.2).
why don't you share what you found as an alternative?
Alternative app
I use Media Utilities. It works with Spotify and Podcast (and possibly more).
The disadvantage is, that it needs notification access to read out the current track/podcast. Additionally the user interface is a little odd and buggy.
But it works and nothing bad has happened yet.
...yay, can't post links as a newbie, but I bet you can find it yourself in the Play store ( com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha )

Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It was not a good solution anyways it was a strange app that constantly increased the volume.
Tried Media Utilities as posted above and it works!
It does not show Album though.
In the app I added spotify, and then in settings under Application Integration i checked the marker next to Pebble Watch.
Use Music Boss to fix this, and you'll also gain the best watch app for Pebble as a bonus n
