Amaze music player will not play full mp3?
OK all; I’ve had this issue with both of my phones (one went swimming). It didn’t bother me so much before as I had not yet did the full merge for phone only use of music. NOW that I am using my cell as mp3 player like I should, this bugs the **** out of me!!! ***ANY help or knowledge on this matter will save me from doing another destructive test! *****
What happens is when I play any mp3 file that is longer than a normal or standard track it switches to the next track without finishing the current one. Such as a 1.5 hr continuous mix, around ten minutes in it switches to the next mp3 file (whether it’s a downloaded noise for ring tone, or the beginning of another track). Sucks with earbuds in on a quiet track and then BAM-a loud track –or vice versa –totally makes me wanna throw this $500 cell!!
I have tried using the google player, the other music player, switching from cell hard drive to removable card—does not make any difference. It will play single normal tracks of course but they are not as long and does not have the time to skip ahead.
One of the main reasons I am using the phone is for the ability to skip through long tracks/mixes. I don’t know if it is an amaze issue, android issue, sd card format issue, music placement on card issue or what. I have tried many things and am willing to do whatever it takes if someone knows a fix. A diff music program/root? I have a stock cell now.
It will happen when I am using headphones or plugged into car audio .
I sure hope someone has come across this ! Thanks in advance for any response!
Anyone? I mean, have any of you tried to play an eBook mp3? Maybe a school lecture? A long DJ mix? ----and have it play all the way through? Like past 10 minutes?
Maybe you have shake to shuffle enabled.. otherwise my long EDC mixes play just fine I think
Just for you I played a 1hr+ MP3 on a 32Gb class 10 card,
27 mins in, playing fine. Try copying your tracks to your internal memory or re-converting them from CD?

Thank you sooooooo much for a reply! And EDC type muze is exactly what I am talking about! I tried it again w/ a long mix and at 10 min 26 sec every time BAM-skips to nxt track or sound. I have headphones plugged in and cell is still on desk (no movement) so no shaky. Where do you have your files? on an sd card or phone memory? Are they listed in folders? Any details will help !!!! If yours is working then mine should!!! aaaaaaarrrgh!

THANKS FOR TESTING FOR ME!!! yeah mine again --10min 27 sec switches? I too have a 32gb card. i have played them on the cell mem and sd card with same response. The tracks that i am referring to are actually not on a disc but only a file so cannot re-convert. They play as they shld everywhere but on cell. I dont know if there is a time out feature/limit? But i have not found one. I have taken them out of folders and put just on the drive main page to see if there is a change ( at s/o request) but there is no diff. Where do you store you mp3 files and how if I may ask? THANKS AGAIN for your time!!!!! This is so frustrating to me for an otherwise very pleasant phone!

THANKS! I shall DL that app right now. One more question...where are your music files located on your SD card? Are they in a folder? If so what do you have it labeled as? (dont know if that makes any difference). Or are the mp3 files just "ON" the cards "main menu" screen that comes up when you access the SD card, and not in a folder? Thanks again for your time and response!

GL, hope it works
Ohhhhhhhhh laaaaaaaaaawd
OHHHHHHHHH MY LAAAAAAAAAAWD HAVE MERCY ON ME !!! I couldn't, nay.......shouldn't just simply bow out of my thread with my tail b/t my legs--without an explanation. It was some sort of corrupted mp3 files! 3 of them. All from the same source. They played fine everywhere but the Amaze. I played others that were from a diff source and they will play through no problem. So I went back to the files and monitored as well as listen closely and there is a slight hiccup at the 10:26 time, which in effect would trigger something in the Amaze with 3 diff music players, to skip forward. But does not affect playing on a PC or CD.
It was fueled by the emotion I had towards these mixes and I HAD to have them and hear them!! I should have tried others more effectively.
Thank you two for your help, even though it was me at fault on this end.
On a positive note this has inspired me to go ahead and root my Amaze. This will be my first root. There are some awesome ROMS out there, now...I just have to pick one.
Thanks again for your time and response's, all is well with the Amaze.
Hi all,
I just picked up the T-Mobile variant and have not yet rooted or anything, however I am using the fix hifi dac app which a chap kindly posted on here and the play store.
I used to use the free version of podkicker however I have now purchased pocket casts. The issue I am having on my new V10 is that I will listen to a podcast for say 30minutes,then I come back to the same file later in the day to resume and both podkicker and pocket casts show the position as being 30mins in however when I hit play it aways goes back the beginning, has anyone else had this problem and know if it is unique to this phone or if there is some android issue I've not had previously?
I have searched on google and here but I have not been able to find the same issue anywhere.
Any help you can give would be appreciated!
Ps. Forgot to mention I've cleared cache and reinstalled the apps also, tried with different podcast files too!
Thanks
I have done more testing and it appears only happen with m4a files with mp3 unaffected.
Sooo, I got Assistant on my G5 and it's making me very angry. I can no longer use OK Google to play music from my Play Music library. It always just searches and plays the command as a song from the radio portion of the app. Even if I specify "Play the album ___", it looks up the album name as a song. I can even say "Play songname from library" and it ignores the "from library" portion.
Anyone else run into this? It has completely ruined my commute and hands-free driving.
Not sure if this is a bug or a very dumb decision.
How did you got the assisstant already?

It is already available in select countries (and languages) for Marshmallow and Nougat.
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/137...t-how-does-it-work-and-which-devices-offer-it
It's a bug. We and many other got the same problem so wait for Google to release fix via Play services or Google app.
Sorry for the thread ressurection but I have been having this issue since I bought an original pixel XL two weeks ago. My wife's pixel was also fine but last night she noticed that it would completely ignore what was in the library and attempt to stream it instead. My Nexus 6p (Oreo) did not exhibit this problem either.
This is so frustrating. Like the OP, ruins the handsfree experience. I have spoke with tech support several times but suggest I send feedback (which I have). I'm hoping others are having this issue too.
searching this site for this exact problem. no matter what device now when you say ok google play Metallica - and justice for all or any album which is in my library it automatically will play the song on youtube or the radio stations in play music (you can choose which to open in the settings)
what is going on how can we change this??
Has someone with a Mate 10 tried to run Android Auto? I'm still rocking a Mate 8, still a very good phone but with one major annoyance : not working with Android Auto. Very eager to find out if this issue has been resolved.

Actually..... was fine yesterday but I have had a few weird issues today (have only had the device 72hrs)
- Lost music playback during a drive this morning.. can still hear nav instructions and phone calls etc, just silence during what appears to be playing music.
- The map screen has shrunk.. its like a totally different dpi to the other screens and appears fairly high res. Good because of the extra screen estate, but is now difficult to read text.
I'm going to try again tomorrow and will reset the head-unit and reinstall AA if it continues.
There is also a fair bit of complaints going on at the google product forums so maybe Oreo still needs some bugs worked out ?

It's strange. Sony XAV AX-100 & Mate 10 ALP-L29 .115
I find if I'm connected to the headunit first via BT and streaming music, it is fine. GPS directions and calls etc work as expected.
If I plug in via USB and let Android Auto takeover the headunit, it will continue only playing the one currently playing song, and the all other music is unable to play. I still get audio for directions & calls though.
What I think is happening, is Android Auto is trying to play music via USB connection and disables the "media" part of the BT paring.
For whatever reason, Google Play music doesn't come through via USB.
After a bit of research it appears this is a widespread problem with multiple devices after a recent AA & Google Play music update.. so I'm hesitant to blame Huawei here.
My current workaround is simply to use Android Auto on the phone and paired via BT for audio, rather than plugged in via USB.
Very very annoying, and hopefully fixed soon. Google seem to be dropping the ball A LOT lately
Very strange indeed...hope these bugs get ironed out soon. One of the main reasons to upgrade is to have AA working on my head unit so I guess I'll just wait until this works like it should.

Just a quick fyi.. I have cancelled my Google Play Music and switched over to Spotify instead, which is working great and I have no other issues while plugged in via USB
I still get the higher dpi on the maps screen, and am finding it's actually preferable now I've used it for a few days.
Another small fyi for those experiencing issues, after a whole bunch of testing it appears the 'Smart Display" resolution setting is casusing the Nav Maps screen to be distorted, and the On-Call Phone screen to be hidden.
Locking resolution to HD / 720 will allow Maps and Phone screens to function as expected.
Still haven't figured out the GPM no-audio bug even after yesterdays playstore update.
I'm having issues on my mate 8 NXT-AL10.
Navigating - Works on fresh install of Android Auto, but then with Waze installed, next time I get in the car and go to navigation the system freezes, goes black, and then returns to the home screen. This has gone on far too long, and this is also my 2nd and last Huawei phone. Unimpressed.
Music/Audio - Every app I go on within android auto (on my head unit) is giving the "Google play music doesn't seem to be working right now" or insert other app name. It's mightily frustrating.
I've found workarounds for both but they're by no means fullproof.
1) Using Nova Launcher seems to keep Waze working for longer without having to reinstall the android auto app.
2) Apparently clearing the cache of your apps can help solve the audio issues, as well as restarting Bluetooth.
Google/Huawei really need to get their act together on this. It's really frustrating to spend so much money on a phone and a new car only to find out the systems you bought them for don't work.

Oh, and also, when typing - for inserting a destination into a navigation app on Huawei, I've found there's no space-bar.
The only workaround so far I've found is type it natively on app in phone, save the destination as a favourite, and access it on android auto from the favourites list. Again, small, but painful.
You going to hate android auto belive me.

I upgrade my Oneplus 3 to Mate 10 and having the same Google Map resolution too high problem.
I turn off Smart Display and lock the resolution to HD (720p) as instructed from this post, the navigation of android auto back to normal but the quality of the screen of the Mate 10 itself look like a budget phone.
I will try to update the firmware of my SONY XAV-AX100 if it would help.
Oh great. I really wish i found this thread before pulling the trigger on a Sony XAV-AX100 I expect it to arrive sometime next week but it wont be installed in my car until the new year sometime. Nonetheless, I will try some basic tests with Android Auto and report my findings. These tests won't involve sound though. No speakers laying around to connect to the headunit. I have a Mate 10 Pro, firmware 8.0.0.125
Updating the firmware of the XAV-AX100 unit does not help. I think it is the problem of Huawei Firmware. I hope they can fix the problem soon.
I just bought my Mate 10 last week. Finally got a chance to use AA, and after reading all the helpful information from this thread, I changed my phone resolution down to HD (low). I have a brand new car and brand new expensive flagship phone, and now you are telling me Huawei doesn't work well with AA. I really dont want to use an expensive phone with HD low resolution. Is there a way to let Huawai fix it?
I was also wondering if we could update the firmware of the screen of our car? I have a 2016 honda accord ex-L...

I think we have to wait for the firmware update of the phone instead of the firmware of head unit. I am current running 8.0.0.119(C636) (which have the AA bugs) and hope that the new 8.0.0.128(C636) I found in Firmware Finder will have the problem fixed. However, the new firmware is not authorise to install on my mate 10 yet.

Sorry for bringing this topic again, but these are exactly my problem and exactly my thoughts.
I have a Mate 9 Pro with Oreo beta and even when I don't have problems with maps or screen, I can only hear 1 song and then the audio stops working, and even when I unplugged the phone, the device remains with no audio at all until I reboot the device.
I tried to test with a P10 Lite, but the car is not even recognizing it.
I will try today with an Android Stock device to see if I get better results.

Do you get correct resolution on your car screen with AA? I can get correct resolution by using HD 1280 x 720 only, which is low resolution.
I tried to use Quick Shortcut Maker to create a shortcut so everytime I need to use GPS, I will toggle it on. However, Quick Shortcut Maker doesn't work on my Mate 10, and I dont' see any new shortcut created on my home screen.
I tried Nova Launcher, again, no hope. Nova Launcher tells me "Permission Denial" when I created the shortcut for "Screen Resolution". Also, after insatlled Nova, my Torch (flashlight) no longer working anymore.
I am thinking to return this crappy mate 10, it's not worth it to spend so much time to do research on all these bugs for Huawei software engineer....

Ok. I have received the Sony head unit and had it installed on friday night and...........
I am having similar experiences to Snachez with some exceptions.
No sound in Google Play Music. Which I am very pissed off with. Sure, I could cancel Google Music, but I have a family account with multiple users. So that's not really an option. I have no choice but to take up a Spotify subscription as well as GPM. I truly believe this is an issue with the GPM app or AA and is not Huawei's fault. Goddamn you Google. (EDIT: Just scored 3 months of Spotify for $0.99. If Google can get there **** sorted by the end of March with the Music app, it won't be so bad)
Maps are fine. don't matter what resolution i run the phone at. Sadly this is probably the only part of AA that has worked as expected.
Phone call information does not display on my headunit. at all. I have a dialer / contacts info but that's it. It doesn't matter if i switch the phone between 720 or 1080p. phone call info does NOT come up on the headunit. Do i have to reboot the phone between resolution switches? Because I didn't try that.

Saying I hate it would be a bit strong. More unimpressed than anything else. Unless I need to use Google Maps, or charge my phone. This headunit is going to spend more time in BT Audio mode than AA
I have got phone functionality (call info, etc) to work in AA. But to do so I have to force close the Huawei dialler each and every single time before connecting the phone to the headunit.
[email protected] me, what an absolute pain in the arse. How did Google and/or Huawei not notice this???
On the upside though, it works when the phone's resolution is set to 1080p. what a relief because changing it to 720p everytime i want to use AA would just suck.
To all the folks that say phone / maps doin't work properly in 1080p. have you tried enabling Developer Options in AA and experimenting with some of the settings?
Hey there,
as you probably know, it's forbidden by google to include a function to an app to record the internal sound. That's the reason why all audio/video-recorder-apps (like AZ Screen Recorder) only allow to record the microphone(s).
Is there anyway a solution to record the internal sound, for example with a cable? But only the digital way via USB(-C) and not the analog way with the phone jack which causes side noises! Do I need a special OTG-Cable?
If I connect the original USB-C-Cable to my pc nothing happens really.
In the dev options in the android settings I can de/activate the usb-audiorouting (but I can see no changes)
I also can choose 'audiosource' in the usb-config. If I plugin then to my computer, there is no new 'microphone' in the audio settings. In the device manager the BLA-L29 is listed, but the drivers are marked as corrupt.
Can somebody help me to finally have the power to record the internal sound? Thank you!
Perhaps try a Bluetooth recorder? I came across this after a 5-second web search; I'm sure that with a little more effort you could find many more varieties.

And I already searched HOURS for a good solution, but without success so far.

Update: Huawei Mate 10 Pro Screen Record with Audio
Hi
I'm a Streamer and mobile Gamer, Just updated to Official Stable Android 9 on my Mate 10 pro and they actually provided a new screen recorder that can record internal audio but..
Here is the issue i'm facing :
1) When using the screen recording app and i turn the microphone off i'm able to record system sounds on any app and while its recording ,however the speaker sound is turned off so you wont hear anything until you stop the screen record. Also if you enable the mic the screen recorder app will record audio from your mic
I hope this could help Devs to take a close look at this , all we want is that to use a screen recorder which records System audio and mic just like the IPhone to allow us to stream our games to platforms like Youtube, Facebook, Twitch, Omlet Arcade without buying a IPhone .
I understand google bans devs from accessing this API : Internal Audio, but what if Huawei just develop a app like Samsung Game Launcher where only games and Streaming apps like Twitch, Youtube, Facebook Live, Omlet Arcade are allowed to access the Internet Audio Recording Function?
And BTW to all those trolls , we not requesting bloatware its a just a simple screen recorder or a Gaming Suite/Launcher app for our Mobile Gaming Community
Regards
