My only Note 8 complaint so far is that I can't skip music tracks with either the wired headset controls, or the phone volume controls. I have to turn the screen on every time.
I'm using BlackPlayer EX as my music player, but I've tried Phonograph and Shuttle as well.
There are a few old threads and old apps offering various fixes, but none seem to work on my new phone. Any suggestions?

I am currently running stock FRF91 and am experiencing a very frustrating issue after upgrading to Froyo.
Prior to the upgrade when using a bluetooth headset, the foreground audio app claimed control of AVRCP and kept control, even when running in the background, until a different app was brought to the foreground. For example, if I wanted to listen to an audio book using the Ambling Audiobook player, I'd launch the player hit play on my headset and it would play. I could pause it with the headset and resume while the app was in the background or the device locked. If I wanted to listen to music, I'd be able to launch Mixzing or any other program and while it was in the foreground, hit play on the headset and the new app would have control of the headset and behave in the same manner as Ambling. This is how things are supposed to work.
Since upgrading to Froyo, the default media player grabs a hold of AVRCP and and will not release control. It doesn't matter what app is in the foreground. When I hit play on my headset, the default player launches. However, once it launched Google Listen and on another occasion Mixzing. I have not be able to replicate that behavior however. It does consistently launch the default player, except for the those two exceptions.
I am using a Jabra BT3030.
Any thoughts? This is really starting to annoy me.
confirmed with my phone too.
Of course what makes the behavior really weird are the two times where the default player did not retain control. However, as I said I've not been able to duplicate that.
I was surprised that rather than attenuating music playback the One pauses music when Waze or Google Navy is announcing an upcoming turn.

Not sure on that one, it might be app specific. For instance, last time I was listening to Pandora and navigating, the phone simply turned down the volume on the music while the navigator was talking. In the HTC Music app, it muted the music but it kept playing(annoying, since I was listening to an audio book...) and in Google Play Music, it would pause it.
unremarked is correct. I use PowerAmp and theres an option to pause the music or play the notification along with the music and thats what i use. I prefer the way iOS handles it though. The music goes lower while the notification sound plays. But i haven't found a way to make it work that way.

So this morning I got into the car and continued to stream music to my device via Google Music. I needed to make an unplanned detour so I fired up Waze to calculate a quick route avoiding traffic. Much to my delight the music I was streaming attenuated when Waze spoke, just like it used to do on my iPhone. I was so jazzed and my kids were probably wondering why. So at the next light I switched to the HTC player and no dice. Same behavior as before, muting/pausing music whenever Waze spoke directions. Finally I decided to try Pandora (which I haven't been able to stream to my car in the week I've had the One) and not only did Pandora play through the car speakers, it too attenuated when Waze spoke. I haven't tried this with Google Nav.
So what's changed since yesterday? Well I booted into Safe Mode (per HTC rep's suggestion) to troubleshoot a bluetooth volume issue and that didn't do anything other than remove some of my folders on one of my home panels. That bluetooth volume issue is a separate issue and it was not resolved through Safe Booting the device. Also, it appears there was an update to Google Music so that may have resolved the music pausing issue. Either way, I'm not sure what I did or what happened to the device to fix this behavior but I'm very happy to experience this expected behavior between music (except for the HTC native player) and nav.
I have my z1 setup in my car to play music via bluetooth into the car stereo.
With the sony walkman app, the stereo correctly shows the artist/song information and sounds pretty good.
However, if i use power player, the bluetooth sound quality seems noticeably worse and the stereo doesn't show the song information.
Has anyone else noticed this?
The reason i want to use powerplayer is because the walkman app, annoyingly doesn't' read the 'album artist' tags in songs, so it catalogues the music in a bizarre way if it is all correctly tagged.
Power player reads it properly and sorts via album artist.
I have all EQ + sounds effects turned off in both players and phone menu.
I'm using stock 4.4.4
I haven't found a ROM in years that allows me to plug in headphones without triggering the music player. I'm currently running Nitrogen 7.1. Is there some way to disable this?
Check the settings of the music player app you're using. I just connected headphones to my device running Pure Nexus and did not encounter this issue. Pure Nexus however does not have an included music player; I use Google Music for both onboard music as well as streaming my collection.
I've played with a couple of music playing problems (rocket player and GoneMAD Music Player) and I've noticed a problem. Hopefully a few of you can try this out (either with one of those two apps or whatever is more convenient for you) and see if the problem is with my phone or it's a problem with the equalization system. Play any track, and confirm you can pause and unpause the track without problem. Then turn on, in either app, the equalization and specifically play around with the graphic equalizer (rocket player) or bass boost option (gone mad) and see if, when you pause and unpause, you get random changes in volume, including no audio at all. With gone mad the bass boost operates separately from the equalizer.

I have this problem! Whenever I use an app that uses its own equalizer or a third party equalizer and play music I get a max volume spike at the beginning of playback. Have you found any solutions?
