When using the stock player or Poweramp, shortly after sleep, the music stops. Neither of these apps are on my Auto-end list. Could it be something I froze using Titanium? I looked through my frozen list and don't see anything that related to music running in the background. Anyone else experience this and found a fix?
Thanks!!
I actually searched around more on another forum and found a fix. I had the Gallery in the auto-end. Not sure why that stopped playback while in sleep, but just played a few songs uninterrupted.

After much research I can assure you that autoend of any sort is very bad and a complete waste of time. Android "figures it out" without needing any help from a third party app.

Had the same problem. For whatever reason it is the gallery app causing it in most cases.

this was driving me nuts also and indeed it is the gallery app. This may have something due to album art
seriously, and i mean it.. did you guys have trouble multitasking with youtube?
When you buffer anything inside youtube, and you switch to ANY other app for example browser or calendar or whatever, all the buffer you have done, will gone back to zero !! Wtf!
How stupid this is?? And i wonder why nobody has ever noticed this and complained about it somewhere over the net.
Yes, I have even basic problem with youtube. When I switch to another app, why does the video stop playing? Sometimes, I am only interested in the audio!

No, the video can continue to play but in the background. For example, on a PC, if I have youtube video playing in a browser tab, and I switch to another browser tab - the video continues to play back. So, I can at least listen to audio (which is useful for music videos).

I have this problem and it annoys me, as I have very slow internet,so last thing I need is for it to restart again.

Yea, i know that if in pc, you switch to another tab, youtube would still continue buffering. But this did not happen in tab's youtube. If I buffer any video, and then i switched to browser, then switch back again to youtube, all the buffers would have gone to zero.
Are you 100% sure you dont have this problem with your stock youtube app?

Are you talking about p1000 or the new gt with honeycomb?
Don't be fooled into thinking that Android's multitasking is that much more robust than iOS. When you move away from an app, the system sleeps the VM that it is running in to devote clock cycles and memory to your current working application. The only way an app can continue to persist alive in the background is to specifically request to remain alive and working on something with background processes. The YouTube app doesn't do this, so when you move away from it the application sleeps.
The only advantage Android has over iOS in terms of multitasking is the easy ability for an app to run background processes if it so chooses. Fortunately no sane app developer is going to write an app that tries to stay completely active in a non-windowing OS.

Okay, i know it make sense to not write an app that tries to stay completely active in background. But wouldnt it make sense for an app such as youtube that needs a lot of buffer (since not all country in the world have fast mobile connection), to be partially active in background, such as the buffering ability?
I think that make sense! And i still wonder why wouldnt honeycomb developer realize this .

Be careful, Playbook owners might start feeling smug about their device if they see things like this

I would also like Youtube to be able to play in the background, just like on a PC. Why not? It can't be too hard to programme either.
Swedish national radio, Sveriges Radio, has a good app that allows you to listen to all their programmes and the app runs smoothly in the background while I surf or do other stuff on the tablet. You'll find it at Google Play (former Market) if you're interested.
An other thing that Youtube on Android does not do is to run playlists. Again, why not?
I can't really see the point in removing great features when you develop a new OS. The goal can't really be to make it worse compared to the PC, can it?

If your mostly worried about the playlist feature, it works when running stock browser and you are signed in. All you have to do is tap on the bottom-right corner of the video's preveiw image, afterr tapping, the little '+' shows up

A solution would be using OverSkreen (Browser) and just open youtube in a small window.
Does anyone know where the settings are for this?
Every time I connect to my car, either the music app or, now since I installed this other music app, starts automatically.
This is really annoying if say for instance I just want to play Pandora.
I'm on saurom 7.1.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I couldn't seem to find anything about this through the search.

This is a major shortcoming of android imho. Try headset button controller from the market.
Which music player ate you using?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Well, originally it was doing it with the standard music app that came with Saurom, I didn't uninstall that or anything, but now that I installed Meridian, it does it with that now.
I couldn't find any settings in meridian for that, but I guess I can check again,I may look in the standard music app's settings as well.

Yeah whenever I connect to my Ford Sync system, my BT audio always starts playing at some random song and usually midway. Rather annoying since my wife's ip4s commands are obeyed perfectly and BT audio waits for her to tell the system what song/album/artist to play.

Anyone managed to find a solution? This is so annoying.
OK...since moving to Jelly Bean (multiple ROM's tested) one thing that is a CONSTANT failure is music apps. Whether its Apollo, JetAudio, Rocket Player, PowerAMP, Google Music, etc they ALL crash or simply won't start/play music at all.
All my music is MP3 format so its not a compatibility issue. It happens on multiple Jelly Bean ROM's so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.
Thought it might be a issue with my SD card but everything else on it works fine (including movies and games) and putting music on the internal storage brings the same results.
I'm just at a loss here...first my GPS doesn't work (on Straight Talk...still haven't fixed this) and now not even my music will work? I'm starting to think my Note is screwy...but these are honestly the only issues I've had so far.
If anyone knows anything just let me know, thanks!
I had to go back to an ICS ROM to get Google music to work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Were other music apps behaving badly as well or was it just Google Music?
Well, I pulled the battery and reinstalled PowerAMP and it seems to work fine now.
I guess I gotta get used to the fact that Android/Note/Jelly Bean is like BlackBerry where to fix a problem you just have to pull the plug and restart!

Includes Sony walkman as an add on, just follow the links
The only issues I had was none of the players start a song and crash. Restart app and good from then on

I was running CM10 and had a running app that announces the distance every mile. Once the first announcement was made all other music apps would no longer work ( mort player and poweramp) . Had to reboot to get things going again.
I went back to ICS because of too many bugs..

Have you tried going into settings/apps/currently running... and do a force close of any music app that's running? You may have to hit close more than once. That works for me

So I know I shouldn't expect much from the hardware site of the phone, but even when I just do easy multitasking like if I'm in facebook for a while and the swap over to snapchat via the multitask menu, it usually has shut down snapchat by itself so the app has to restart? Same thing happens with almost every app.
Also with spotify for example if I have to other apps running and swap a little between them in the end spotify will force close, this has not happened to me on any other device not even on my galaxy nexus.
So does this happen to others than me? I mean a light use of multitask it can't handle...
Other than that I sure do love this phone
Also how can it be when I turn up for the volume playing a YouTube video, listening to spotify, Google play music and so on, it pauses the video/song? Check through all settings can't seem to find anything.
