Yep, this is beyond frustrating. Especially as on numerous occasions I've hit the earphone pause button, had it do nothing, pull out my phone, hit pause, unplugged my earphones and THEN the signal finally arrives, UNpausing my music for all to hear.
- wlesieutre 11y agoSame here. Whenever it acts like it's not responding to audio controls, I make sure to unplug headphones and turn the speaker volume down to nothing before I walk into work in the morning. Similarly stupid response when unplugging headphones: 1) Oh, he unplugged the headphones! 2) Let's play that audio out of the speakers instead! At whatever volume the speakers happened to be at last time he used them! 3) And keep playing it for a half second or so! 4) I guess he might have wanted it to stop when the headphones came out? Fiiiiine.
- delecti 11y agoI've never experienced any delay in pausing when unplugging the headphones. I actually use it sometimes as a quick way to pause music on my phone.
- raisedbyninjas 11y agoI run stock Android and the disconnect of headphones or bluetooth promptly pauses pandora, google music and pocket casts. Google music does have the habit starting music playback when connecting to bluetooth regardless if the app is running or it's been a week since connecting to bluetooth or the phone has been rebooted since connecting. It just spams my car stereo with music AFAICT.
- projct 11y agoMany car stereos actually send the play signal when they connect to a device. My Alpine unit did this, as does my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. Also guilty: 2014 Ford Focus ST and Ford Fiesta ST I tried, as well as a late model Mercedes ML500.
- wlesieutre 11y agoMine's not quite stock Android, so whenever something doesn't work right I'm never sure whether it's Google's problem or Sony's. Another audio bug: when Google Maps gives audio directions, it pauses my podcasts. Half the time it resumes playing afterward, half the time it doesn't. I can find no pattern to this. PocketCasts and Google Maps are both pretty well polished programs, and I have no idea whether I should blame one of them or blame the OS. Ah well. At least I got an SD card slot instead of paying $200 for 48GB more storage.
- raisedbyninjas 11y agoI've been using Pocket Casts and Google Navigation together for a while. There is a setting in pocket casts to play over notifications and navigation prompts. I had to switch to this a few months ago because navigation prompts started getting muted for about 1 second, then they became audible half-way through and then the transition back to the podcast worked fine.
- wlesieutre 11y agoJust re-tested my headphones unplugging problem, it happens in both DoubleTwist and Pandora. Not every time, but most times. Phone notices headphones are unplugged, phone switches to blasting over the speakers for a moment before pausing it. Really stupid problem. I should probably wipe the thing and start fresh.
- rcthompson 11y agoSame for me, except that sometimes that last step happens 5 or ten minutes later, in the middle of a meeting or something. The worst part is that a button labelled "pause" can trigger an unpause action. It should really remember what the button said at the time it was pressed. I would mind a lot less if I happened to be playing audio 10 minutes later and it randomly paused due to an earlier press of the pause button.
