Update: The below behavior happens if you switch on the “Don’t keep activities” setting in developer options. I attempted this to optimize battery life, but the music player stopped working, and battery didn’t improve. Leading the post up as an FYI
I’m experiencing a bug with the default music app, where the track I’m listening to is stopped, and the progress goes back to 0:00.
Two ways this happens:
- Start the song
- Lock the phone by using the lock button on the side, or by letting your phone lock itself after being idle
- Unlock the phone (I use fingerprint unlock)
- The song is now stopped and progress reset to 0:00. You must click play again to resume (from the beginning)
The second way it happens:
- Start the song
- Press the button to go to Home Screen
- Open music app by pressing the app icon
- The song is now stopped and progress reset to 0:00. You must click play again to resume (from the beginning)
I would say this is a critical one to fix to make the app usable. I am on version 1.1.1. I have side loaded a couple of apps and changed a few developer settings so it would be great to confirm if this is happening for a fully stock phone without side loading.
