Google Music stops playing on M DP3? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else have this issue? Google Music will randomly stop playing. it could be 1 song into my playlist, or it could be on its 3rd pass through it. The only way to get it going again is to start the song over or move to another one. The app doesn't crash, it just seems to stop the song, and ill not respond to the Play button on it until I press the Last, Next or select another track.

it never ever stops here. im on m preview 3.

I'm on preview 3 and it happened to me yesterday.

So is the song progress bar still moving or is it done? I have only seen an issue where the progress is still moving but, no audio is heard on certain albums which was an issue before N. Nothing where it randomly stops though.

At first I thought it was N too until I looked at the dates and the title lol I've had this issue on ALL three previews, I end up going back to M since I travel a lot for work and it's annoying. All my music is on Google play music.

Mine would stop as soon as the next track would play on dp1,dp2 but on dp3 all is well

Happens randomly to me on preview 3 as well. Starts playing again when I hit the volume up key or pause the song and press play. Of course it pauses again a few seconds later...
Only happens when I'm using the auxiliary cord in my car. When I use regular earbuds it plays fine.

Pandora & Cyanogen 5.0.8-test5

I've been having issues with the most recent builds of both Cyanogen and Pandora...
Whenever I load up Pandora for the first time after boot, about 5-15 seconds into the song it skips to another song and repeats the process until I have no more skips available. After that it just pauses the song because it can't skip them,...
So far I can't find any consistency when this happens so i really doubt its a problem with my hardware... Oh and I think this only started happening after the latest release of Pandora (updated like Tuesday i think)
Anyone else having this issue?
similarly, when I try to change the station im forced back to the 'now playing' screen over and over before I can choose a new station! Also running cy .8, so who knows where the problem lies...
I've also had the player just randomly start up and play some random station (which causes me to think its CM now :|)
I have an issue like that. Pandora will play for a while and then just pause, I can immediately hit play and it will start playing and then pause a minute or so later.
Very frustrating
i'm using 5.0.8 and I have no issues with Pandora. I noticed the topic line says "Test-5", try upgrading to the official 5.0.8 final. That might fix your issue. Do a Wipe also to eliminate any other possibilities.
Same issue here. Although, the problem with you going back to now playing screen from the stations screen is related to Pandora itself I think, I have same problem on evo 4g. I'm running cm 0.9b2 on my nexus by the way.

well, I figured out how to fix the station/now playing problem temporarily. instead of going back to the station list by pressing the 'stations list button' and flopping back and forth insanely, press the actual 'back' button on your device to get to the stations. this seems to stop the problem. anyway, it seems fixed in the stable cyanogen release.
i have the now playing screen switch problem also... pandora used to run fine on my phone, now it skips all the time, hiccups frequently and sometimes just stops playing... im not sure what happened in the update but something isnt right,

Pandora randomly stops playing a song?

Hey all, just a quick problem I'm having with pandora. When I'm driving around listening to pandora it will randomly stop playing a song and I'll have to skip to the next song and it will play fine again. Anyone else have this problem? I've tried reinstalling from the market, and it's persisted over several roms and 2.1 and 2.2. Any help would be great! Thanks.

I'm a bartender and I plug my phone into the sound system to play music for the whole bar when I'm working, and I often stream music. For a while, I used Pandora but it would stop like that and/or freeze up and I would have to force stop it in task manager and re open it, which takes at least a minute (and in bartending, is a lot of time not spent making money). It got to the point where Pandora would stop every 4th or 5th song. Mind you, this was the same whether I was on wifi or 3g. Anyhow, I switched to Slacker and it's been almost flawless. It also actually plays the ****ing artist that I create the radio station around.
i also had this happening to me a while ago but it seems to be sparatic with my phone, lately it has been working great with wifi and 3g. It usually happens to me though when i am on a 3g network when i want to listen to something other than my ipod. Then other times i can be at school just sitting doing my hw while listening doing hw and it starts stopping on me. Unlike you though mine seemed to stop when the screen shutoff and i would have to press play again and as soon as i did that it would stop again. Think the problem was due to ATK but dont really know if that was true
screw pandora now.

I have also switched to slacker in the last couple weeks and will never go back to pandora. You are correct in that you actually hear the artist you chose quite often.
My wife and I notice that a lot when we are driving home from work listening to it via bluetooth. Every 3-4 songs it does that. In the middle of the day I never have a problem. I'm pretty sure their servers are likely just getting overwhelmed.
Was beginning to think it was my phone doing it...will try slacker now.
I, too, am glad to know it's not just my phone. Everything you guys describe happens to me also.
I never heard of Slacker, but will check it out now.
This has been an issue since version 1.5 of Pandora. It's very lame.
If you can find an apk of version 1.4.x, supposedly it was more reliable.

Downloaded the 1.3 apk..installed...froze on first song! I give up.
I think I'm done with Pandora. Anyone have any advice between Last.FM and Slacker? I'd probaly go with the premium on which ever one I decided on.
Cog 4.1 btw
Just chiming in to say I have the same problem. I only get a few songs then Pandora stops playing. Not sure if it has to do with the phone going to sleep. I have seen some posts about "Mobile Data Always On" option but I have yet to find that on the Captivate.
No its pandora! I just downgrade to 1.3 and been fine since.

Problem with Google Play Music lockscreen widget

Hey all,
Since I got the OTA for KK 4.4.2, my lockscreen music widget is acting a little bit weird. When I'm listening to music with google play music (and even from some other players like poweramp, rocket player, etc) and the screen goes off, if the track ends and another one begins, when I wake the phone, it shows the current's music art, but the title from the previous track.
With some players I get a bit of variation, some I get the previous album art, some I get both, name and art....
I can only get it working properly when I'm using NexMusic or Apollo, with those two, everything works like a charm, but I really wanted to use GPM.
I have recently factory reseted my phone, I didn't work. Tried to clear GPM's cache and data, nothing, tried to uninstall the update and stick to the original one that came with the phone and still nothing... So I was wondering if any of you can help me a little bit here.
I took a screenshot to try to explain it. It started playing Resistance by Muse, the screen went off and then Sunday Morning started playing, the album art is from sunday morning but the track name is still Resistance.
Yeah, same with me

I have noticed that also
well, I think I got it working right somehow now, after disabling it and trying almost all players on the market, I rebooted the phone a couple of times and now it seems to be doing everything right again
EDIT
well, nevermind, it started acting weird again
Same issue for me. Doesn't happen when I use Shuttle, just happens with Google Play Music. Rather annoying bug.

Lockscreen image retained even after app has closed

Everyday in the morning I listen to mike and mike. Everyday when I'm done with my morning commute I turn off tune in radio but this image gets stuck on my lockscreen. Any way to fix this other than reboot?

I don't like to force close apps too much but at least with your idea I can change change the lockscreen to something else instead of MIKE and MIKE staring me down all the time =). Thanks!
You can open another app that uses the lock screen, then just exit out and close it. Should go back to the normal screen.

I have the same issue with tunein. Press stop on the station you are listening to and the lockscreen wallpaper will go away. If you press pause or exit on the app it will retain the image. The problem is with the app not the phone.

Sound Up and Down

No matter which ROM I try with a clean install playing any audio whether it be from YouTube or Music the volume goes down then back up. What is causing this? This stays after reboots. Also the only way to get the volume back to normal is to close the app and start over. Then it only take about 10secs for it to go back down and fluctuate.

This also happens to me from time to time.
Also, while playing music through Poweramp and listening with BT, if you change the volume using the rockets on the phone (long press), the volume fades in and out.

RMA didn't work for me. I have a feeling all devices display this behaviour, though the louder the volume and the lower the battery, the more it will present.

I assume that you are RMAed your Nexus 6 and they gave you another one, and that one has the same problem? My last phone was really bad with the fluctuation and the volume going up and down. When I got this phone I haven't noticed it one bit but I only play music with it or listen to YouTube etc . So I downloaded the GT racing 2 and waited till I had about 26% battery. And then started the game turned it up full blast and it stayed there. So then I plugged it in to see if there was a difference and there wasn't. I left it plugged in for a while then I unplugged it to see if the volume would drop and it didn't. So I would suggest if you did get a new phone send RMA and that you try it again. My new phone came running stock LVY47H . I don't know if that makes a difference.
My old phone was rooted and I ran many different roms kernels and Viper 4 exc trying to get rid of the problem. This one in stock because I'm waiting for project Fi.
