[QUESTION] Google Play Music switches audio from headphones to speaker when unlocked - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

While playing music on my un-rooted Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII, every time I unlock my phone the music switches from the headphones I have plugged in to the phone's speaker. When I un-plug and re-plug he headphones or pause and play the music, it switches back into the headphones. This issue is very debilitating as I am often listening to music in quiet places and it's embarrassing when my music starts blaring. Thanks for your help.

I have the opposite problem. When I listen to music on my headphones the music switches to the speakers when the phone locks. I guess you never figured this out. I know my problem is due to the lockscreen app "Widget Locker". When I deactivate it the problem goes away. Guess I'll head over to the widget locker thread and poke around. I'm on an S3 as well.
Edit:
I found a cool workaround by using the Tasker app. I made a profile which disables Widget Locker when i plug my headphones in and enables it when i unplug them. Seems to work pretty flawlessly.

Do you have gapless playback??

[Q] Cyanogenmod mediaplayers pause on their own

Hello,
Ever since switching to Cyanogenmod, when listening to music using the stock player, Pandora, or Winamp, the music will randomly pause. The players seem to act as if they received a pause signal (eg: headphones unplugged), This issue occurs with headphones plugged in, external speakers, or using the phone's built in speaker. I'm not sure what is causing this but is there a fix? I'm hoping that there is just some setting I messed up.
Thanks!

Google Music bug streaming bluetooth

So I have been using and loving Google music and my 5,000 songs on cloud. I have found an irritating bug and am not sure if anyone has the same problem.
I have a head unit in my vehicle that is capable of streaming media via Bluetooth. Anytime I end a call Google music turns back on even after closing it. I have X it out in the notification slide down menu. I even went into running apps and force closed it. Keep in mind before I make the phone call Google music is not on, not in the notification bar and not in recently opened apps. And magically call ends on Bluetooth, and phone restarts Google music and starts playing in my car!
I don't think this happens if I I use google music with my headphones.

Well it really depends on the system in your car. Most systems I have dealt with (Ford sync, Toyota, Chrysler) automatically resume whatever song is playing if connected for Bluetooth audio. If you do not want audio playing through the phone you can just pause it using a command on the steering wheel or on the radio itself.

Yes it is supposed to resume whatever song is playing. i have ford sync for almost two years now and was using Pandora streaming plenty. If I exit Pandora or let me be even more specific, pause a song before I make a phone call, when I end the call the song stays paused or Pandora stays closed until I tell it otherwise. This is not the case for Google music. I press pause then song continues once call ends. I quit the program before call, song continues, force close before call song continues....Technically there should not be any song playing when I told it to stop in the first place.

[Q] Stream music over bluetooth

Hi guys, I really hope someone can point me out in the right direction here.
I just bought my nexus and I love it, except one small thing.
Each time when I use my phone for streaming music over bluetooth to my car the music plays like a charm but when I turn the the car off the music keeps playing on my nexus and it never stops until I manually close the app.
The app turn off by itself or?
I´m using stock rom btw.
Thanx in advance.
I'm streaming music from google music via BT A2DP regularly in my car and the stock player always stops streaming/playing automatically as soon as the BT connection is lost = I turn off the car.
Suspected that it would work as you experience

Music not resuming after pause over bluetooth

I listen to music in my car over bluetooth. With the Galaxy Nexus, when I receive a call or turn off my radio, the music on the phone pauses, as it should. However, upon ending a call or turning the radio back on, the song that is paused then restarts from the beginning. I'm using the Google Music app. This worked fine in Gingerbread. Is anyone else experiencing this or know a solution?
Using PowerAMP and Media Button Router fixed the issue. It's very strange that the native Music app won't pause music from my car radio, but PowerAMP will.

[Q] Galaxy Note 2 sound/headphones issue

Loving my Galaxy Note 2, but I do have a few minor niggles regarding the stock Music Player that I'm hoping someone may be able to help with. I'm on stock firmware btw.
#1 Headphone play button often does not respond if left in pause mode for over a few minutes.
Allow me to explain - I'm at my desk at work listening to music with the stock music program. I get a phone call on my work phone so I click the headset button to pause the music. I finish my call and press the headset button to resume music. No response. Sometimes if I click once, twice or three times more it will start playing again. It's like the phone enters a sleep mode that won't respond straight away.
#2 Music EQ gets lost when something else happens on the phone.
For example, if I unplug my headphones to go for a walk to another part of the office. I return moments later, plug my headphones back in but the EQ is all messed up. Almost sounds like you’re in a tunnel. If I click the EQ button it immediately reverts to the correct EQ setting. This can also be simulated on demand by having music playing, swipe your hand over the screen to take a screenshot (music fades out, there is a camera click sound), then when the music fades back in it has gone into that tunnel EQ sound. Again, clicking the EQ button sorts the issue out.
I have considered moving to a different music program instead. I've tried Google Music (which has it's own bugs like album art disappearing), Winamp etc but for some reason the stock player's EQ settings (custom extended with Bass on 2, and Clarity on 1) make my Sony headphones respond far better than the EQ's in the other programs. And you can put a spot of reverb on the music as well which sounds ace.
No one else has these problems? Does no one use the Note 2 for music listening?

I have had some issues with my Note 2 also. Coming from Htc One XL with beats audio which some people don't like, however I did. Whenever I plug my headphones in the sound quality is just not as good but compared to HTC output sound is so much better.
Ive tried Original settings with phone plus added beats mods, but neither are producing same I quality I had with HTC phone, which is a pain as I do listen to music regularly on my phone. Not sure if makes big difference but thought I'd better mention I'm using in ear phones not headphones.
similar issue here.. sometimes the headset next/pause button works.. sometimes it doenst.. looks like once the phone sleeps it doesnt want to respond .. but response if i wake up ,, which is just stupid.
