[Q] Music Player Autokill

Is it just me? The problem is the music player autokills itself without saving its play position, no matter if I use home or back buttons.
I hear music then press pause, home button (should only suspend the app), do something else... some hours later I want to resume playing music, but the player has gone to its initial state.
Am I doing something wrong?

Never had this issue (and I use it all the time) you can try another player like doubletwist or music

Firmware issue
I didn't have this issue with the shipped firmware (JF3). Now I'm on JPM but had this with all Froyo builds.
Player version is 1.1.1.
I don't want another player...

[Q] How to stop mic button from starting media player?

I did several searches, but was unable to find an answer to this. I hope one of you can enlighten me
I recently installed the "Listen" app to listen to podcasts. When i plug in the stock headphones that come with the Captivate and then click the mic button on it, it will bring up & control the media player playback instead of Listen. Is there a way to configure the behavior of this button? Is there a way to keep it from bringing up the Media Player app and instead control the Listen app?
Thanks!

I've been having the same issue. I installed winamp, but I get the same thing.

I installed doubleTwist, and it looks like it properly takes over button so that the stock music player app is no longer launched. Does this mean Listen is not doing it right?

Skipping track with volume buttons

hello,
how does it work? I tried to activate it but it has some strange behavior. It works perfectly with winamp problem is that if I use another player even if winamp app & service are STOPPED if I try to skip track in lock mode it auto starts winamp that starts playing songs along with the current player!
So does it only work with winamp?

Works for me using Google Music player, you just hold the button for a few secs and it skips.

Do you have winamp installed?

No I don't.

Hello, how do you "activate" this feature ? Does it need a particular kernel or ROM ?
Thanks

[Q] Controlling Music From Watch - How?

I can't seem to figure out how to control music playing on my phone from my watch (using Google Music phone app). Is something supposed to pop up when I play music on my phone? I don't see an "app" on the watch that controls this. Note that I'm using a Note 3.
What am I missing?

You get card of current song and if u swipe to left u can advance and swipe to right one more time to stop I believe.

Actually I figured this out. You have to start the playback on the phone first. Then you get a notification that let's you pause / play, Swipe to the left and you next and once more to the left you get previous, but that is the extent of the stock music control. This worked with EVERY music player I have, not just Google stock Music player.
You can also control volume if you get the Wear Volume app - it appears as an additional notification card under the main music notification. And here is also something that is WAY cool - if you download musiXmatch app, you can scroll down and choose to display scrolling LYRICS to the current song!! I can't get BOTH volume AND lyrics to work at the same time however. Note the Volume works with any music app you choose in it's settings. However, musiXmatch only works with Google Play Music player.

There are also some voice controls to start playback. Such as OK Google, play me some music (that will start an "I'm feeling lucky" shuffle). OK Google, Play Some *artist name* . there are some others, but I use those two often.
Not sure if it matters, but this is on an HTC One M7, stock 4.4.2 Sense 6, Google Play Music.

I've just finished developing my Wear Music Controller app to solve this problem for me:

You can play/pause/next/prev/stop/vol-up/vol-down from your watch! Works with all music apps. Let me know what you think!

Music gestures not being recognized

Since the default music app is using the wrong album art on some songs and doesn't have a widget, and I don't really like Google Play Music, I decided to use Musixmatch as my default music player.
The problem now is, that if I use the music gestures, Musixmatch won't recognize them and either nothing happens or another music app responds to it. Then I uninstalled the included music player and deactivated Google Play Music so the only player I had was Musixmatch. Now the phone only vibrates when using a gesture, but nothing happens.
Is there a way to fix this or is it an error of Musixmatch?

I guess it's the error of the Musixmatch. I'm using the music gestures with the Sony music app, without disabling any stock music app, and it works just fine.
