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.
Hopefully I've put this in the right section, as I believe the questions sections is for help requests rather than general survey style questions (eg the What are you running on your N5 thread).
Anyway, I'm sure we use our phones for a lot more than calling and texting, so post what you use your device for!
Here's some of the things my phone helps me with:
Reminders (Google keep/now, they should be integrated) - I have horrible memory so these help heaps
Timetable (Google Calendar) - use the lock screen widget so I just swipe to see what classes I have
Homework/tasks (Google keep)
Social networking (Fb, telegram, Instagram, snapchat etc)
Media (YouTube, MX player, Vines, Unis video player, uListen)
Tracking food intake (My fitness pal)
Alarm (Alarmpad)
Taking photos of documents and things on the board (Camscanner - highly recommend)
Syncing all my school work that I do on my home computer in case I forget to sync my school laptop before leaving as cloud storage is blocked (Google Drive/Bittorrent Sync)
Browsing XDA/reddit (Tapatalk/Reddit Sync)
That's all I can think of for now, your turn!

goes on the Q/A section, not here. but if you were to ask me, I would say taking phone calls, texting, skyping, playing CPU extensive games such as Real Racing 3, Ravensword 2, GTA SA, etc, listening to music, alarm clock, stopwatch, timer, clock, taking photos/videos, browsing Facebook, 9GAG, XDA Forums, using Chrome, Google Keep, Google Calendar, and most of all, tweaking my phone to the best of my ability to make things look right and just right.

I normally just use mine for the basics...calling, texting, important school email etc. It's also my primary alarm clock. Aside from that, I also use Keep to make sure I know what's due when and when I need to be where, not to mention music and social networking. I guess you could say I don't mess with my phone as much as I did when I had my HTC One. Although the N5 is rooted with a few mods, I try not to get too caught up in the realm of XDA as it does get quite addicting
Always start my day turning off my alarm, stock clock application is fine for me.
I use my phone as a music player A LOT, PowerAmp doesn't seem to work well with this phone for me so I use Google Play Music now.
Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Keep keep me organized. Office Mobile + OneDrive is my choice for office suite and cloud storage.
Most of my reading is on Chrome and Newstand.
Mostly to read news. It is also my alarm clock.
as a phone.
Amost Everything! GPS, Alarm, Banking, NFC, OTG, Browser, Tethering, Email, Texting, Camera, HDMI to TV, Phone, Entertainment, Weather, Calculator, etc.
My phone is my college companion: I often take notes by connecting a Bluetooth keyboard, read PDF documents, write and read emails, manage my cloud documents, and share its 3g connection to my laptop.
Then I use it for text messages (Hangouts, WhatsApp...) and Internet browsing, sometimes as a music player.

Email..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Everything it can do. Calls, texts, email. Some games. Web browsing. YouTube, XDA, etc. Use Wallet & NFC to pay for stuff at a couple gas stations and stores in my areas. I use it to record notes (quick record feature on custom ROM). I use it as my alarm clock. I have an app to track my work hours and how much I make per hour. To track my expenses. As a GPS. HDMI mirroring to my TV for Netflix. Social networking. I use it as a camera as well. Pretty much everything it is capable of doing, I use it to do. I love it.
At the same time, writing this list I also realized how dependent I am on my phone. It's gonna get real once SkyNet takes over.
I switch between the N5 and M8 daily, but I mostly use my N5 for modding and tethering

Hi,
For benches, tweaks and kernel tests only...
And sometimes all the rest that a smartphone can do if I have enough battery life after 01H10 of total use of Antutu and Quadrant and after about 10 reboots a day due to some tests...
It's a Nexus device after all...
Calling family, texting family and friends, music, YouTube, browsing forums via Tapatalk, general web browsing and retrieving information from the internet when I am out.
I play around with the camera too and use the camera to capture anything and everything.

MUSIC.
I have it all day right next to me hocked up to my stereo via Bluetooth. I just love how easy it is to hear music all the time. And even if I'm not a home, I'm using my Klipsch S4 for that.
And of course for WhatsApp, XDA and for taking photos with the lovely camera. I love playing around with it (trying out new Roms, kernels and apps), tweaking it to my needs. I love my phone.

I cannot think of what I DON'T do with my N5, other than the usual calling , texting , social networking , gaming , scheduling , music and video streaming etc etc I do a lot of reboots.
I've had my Google Home for about one week now and starting to find ways to use it around the house.
To be fair its still "thrill of newness" in the household but of course that won't be enough in the long run..
Mostly we use it for:
* Play music from different channels/artists on Google Play music
* Daughter is starting to abandon her blue tooth speaker with Spotify
* Dimming several Hue lights in different part of the house
* Setting timer
* "Tell me about my day" - Problem is I've got several calendars (one o365) - need to fix this..
* Sometimes listening to news
* Would like to connect it to Swedish radio app... to start livestreaming a chosen channel...
What are your best uses for the Google Home in your home?
We use it for...
Timer in the kitchen
Play music on Google Chromecast Audio
Remember things for us, like codes and phone numbers
Sing us a song (Alexa does that)
i'm using it for:
- weather forecast
- play music from google play music
- control philips hue lights (on/off, dim, change colours)
- stream youtube videos to chromecast
- show pictures from google photos on tv
- listening to romanian local radio (play europa fm from tunein); not all local radios are working unfortunately
- play kids music from my playlist on GPM
- control AV system through smarthings-logitech hub
- play trivia with my wife
- get the route to work info
- small tasks using autovoice
- adding shopping items to list (using keep and shared with my wife's)
Only bought today
Using for music an Chromecast.
Don't have Spotify subscription or Google play music so have to improvise.
But i do love it
Google Home and Facebook Jarvis
Which one is more useful?
Wondering will Windows Cortana and iPhone Siri join this ally
Using it to control a fan (power, speed, and timer), TV (power and starting Netflix to the Chromecast), sound bar (volume, power . Use it for the weather, questions, adding stuff to grocery list. Planning out how I want to do my lighting. Loving it.

I have many customizations that I use every day including:
- Announcing incoming calls
- Announcing notifications (email and push notifications)
- Reading incoming text messages aloud
- Sending text messages
- Initiating calls
- Creating calendar events
- Starting navigation as I am walking out the door in the morning
- Reminding me of missed calls and unread text messages
My most used native functions are:
- Playing music (spotify, Pandora, and local radio stations)
- Updating shopping list
- Setting timers when doing laundry
- Looking up word definitions
- Turning lights on/off (attached to Wemo switches)
GH was one of the most useful Christmas gifts I have ever received.

I don't notice any additional drain whatsoever.
May I ask if it can be detected as a wireless "headset"? For example using both mic and speaker to place calls or skype calls..
I am planning on getting a home mini..

I am not sure if it'll do Skype, but you can certainly make regular phone calls. Just use the "call <name>" command.
Hey Google, call mom.
- music
- kitchen timer
- morning news
-casting music to TV/AV
- "show me the front yard" - casts my front porch Nest outdoor cam to my den TV. Recently figured out if I'm at my office (15 miles away) and say this to my phone, it will still cast the Nest outdoor cam to the TV, even though I'm not on the home wifi. Kinda neat/odd
- Switches (6 and growing )
- News summaries in the morning
- Broadcast messages
- Casting music to one or more devices
- Time, weather, forecast and more
Will be expanding after Xmas.
Now use it about 90% of the time instead of the Echo dots.
Like the Google home devices quite a bit after a little learning curve.
Turning the coffee pot on from upstairs when I wake up.
Turning our Xfinity cable box off at night and on in the morning because the hard drive is a bit noisy when sleeping.
Both using WeMo Smart Switches
Daily agenda with temp, calendar events, and a brief news rundown from NPR
Turn on/off electronic devices via Logitech Harmony Hub
Turn on/off switches and home alarm via Samsung Smartthings Hub
Start Casting CBS shows
Start Casting Music via Spotify to home theater system via Chromecast audio
So far I use Google Home only for Spotify, coz where I live there is no support for it. ?
Some thing not mentioned, I use it in conjunction with home-assistant.io With a few hacks I was able to control my receiver.
I came from a note 8 to a note 9 and it seems like the default system notification sound is over riding the default APP SPECIFIC notification tone. Example...the offer up app, when you receive a message, it plays its own default app sound notification, the ESPN when an alert comes through, it should play the espn alert sound on notifcations. on my note 9, those app specific tones are over ridden by my default system sound notification,tone. Another example is the facebook messenger and letgo app, each app plays their own respective tone when i get an alert/message, but a majority of other apps default to the sytem default tone. this is driving me insane, please tell me there is a fix for this. i have already tried uninstall and reinstalling the ESPN app and still no luck.

Have you tried calling Samsung stars? There really helpful
Hi to all, I have audio ducking when playing mixtrax app thru Bluetooth and AA using Google maps or Waze when I have a driving announcement, is there any settings suggested? Thanks.
I don't really understand what do you mean by ducking? Are you talking about the decrease of music level during navigation announcements? If yes, then there is nothing to do but to disable the announcements in the navigation app. For me, for example, the navigation map on my car's display is enough, I too don't use navi announcements because I don't like the music interaptions.
Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk
Yes, exactly, even if I disable announcement I have music interruptions when Google maps recalculate itinerary, what can I do? Thanks
This shouldn't happen. Are you sure that the interruptions occur only when gmaps recalculates?
I'm asking because I also have something similar, but the music volume doesn't go to zero. I think that this kind of interruptions, which in my case are occurring at any time, not only when Waze recalculates, are due to other notifications you are receiving on your phone, like emails, whatsapp messages etc. I didn't find a way to get rid of this kind of interruptions. But try disabling messages notification in AA. I found today that you can access some AA settings, especially those related to notifications, straight from the car's screen.
