Tristan Young Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just noticed another bluetooth issue. I need to perform further testing.Poweramp was playing, then called my wife hands-free. After the phone call, the player didn't resume. I was able to resume playback safely once I arrived at a stop light.I consider this a safety issue, since the driver shouldn't have to deal with resuming.Will re-test and verify.

Tristan Young Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Confirmed... Playback will not auto-resume after phonecall terminates. Tested only with bluetooth.Steps to repeat: 1. Connect via bluetooth to hands-free audio device, such as a car radio.2. Start playing an MP3.3. Place a phonecall.4. End phonecall.5. Wait and see if Poweramp resumes playback. Tested with Poweramp alpha 700.This worked properly in the most recent Poweramp v2.x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.tucker91 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I have a very similar problem, except, playback does resume for me, but the volume is super low for a few seconds then goes back to its normal level. Can't find a way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I've tested and can confirm I see the same on my setup. Bluetooth playback resume after a phone call is very patchy. Very occasionally it works, but not often. I also have the lowered volume issue if I manually restart playback. The Bluetooth level has not been changed within the Volume menu, it still shows maximum, and if I tap once on the volume button the output jumps straight back up to the correct level. So it just appears to have been overridden by the phone call level and not restored afterwards. I've also noticed that if I manually restart playback, it can take a while before Bluetooth control messages are recognised again. Using the car stereo's pause or track-change features can take up to a minute or so before they register, having apparently been queued up and then actioned all at once.

olice Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi, happy to see that I'm not the only one with this issue with my OG moto X and the Sony MW600. But my one looks a bit different. When I finish the call, I'm not able to start or answer to another call, change a song or album on Poweramp... anything... even if I want to switch to Play music, I got no sound at all. Or my phone just freeze. The one way to get everything back to normal is to restart the phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, there's definitely something very odd about the bluetooth connect/disconnect activity in this alpha. I tested with another car stereo and found the same results as before (track counter zeros on disconnect, and phone calls pause but don't resume playback, and BT commands stop responding for a long time after a focus change). On the plus side, track info displayed perfectly on the head-unit, and it changed even with the phone screen off (which used to an issue).

andrewilley Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The track counter reset issue appears to be resolved in the new alpha2 build 701, but not the resume-after-call problem. Resume on start does seem to be working though. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The problem is that it's hard to reproduce on my devices. I slightly changed timings and tested it multiple times on 4.4/5.1/6.0 - the changed timings will be in build 702 later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Just done some testing on build 702. Playback position is remembered correctly for all bluetooth disconnects, following phone calls, after Poweramp exits, etc. Volume ducking on notifications (e.g. for sat nav instructions) works perfectly too, very nice! Resume playback on bluetooth audio connection almost works. When the car headunit first connects in stereo audio mode, Poweramp immediately starts playing through the car speakers (which is good) but it goes straight back into pause about a second later. I wonder if PA is starting playback on its own, and then the headunit is perhaps sending out a Play/Pause command of its own, which is causing PA to stop again? (I hate combined play/pause commands and buttons - much better to have a discrete Play and a separate discrete Pause, no possibility for confusion or debounce issues that way) If I receive an incoming call which I later hang up using the car's handsfree control, PA playback pauses correctly when the call starts, and later resumes correctly immediately upon hangup. If I hangup a call using the phone screen buttons, Poweramp resumes playback correctly too. If I trigger an outgoing call using the car's handsfree control, PA pauses correctly as soon as the call process starts, but it does not resume after the call is terminated using the car controls. Note: the headunit display returns to its normal audio display much quicker than the phone returns from the phonecall display and back to the PA screen, perhaps a 2-3 second difference. Results of the hangup-call/audio-resume tests seem a bit variable, most of the time it works as noted above, but sometimes it seems to resume correctly. I'll try some more tests later to see if I can find a pattern. [Updated] Nope, no discernible or repeatable pattern, sometimes resume playback on reconnection works and sometimes (more often than not) it doesn't. I've also noticed that on occasions when bluetooth is connected and I start Poweramp playback manually via the phone screen, any bluetooth commands from the head-unit (such as pressing the hands-free pause or track fwd/back controls) are ignored by PA for up to 60 seconds or more, after which time they suddenly all get executed one after the other, so commands appear to be getting queued somewhere. Hope some of this helps, if anyone else can add similar tests results it might help Max narrow this issue down. Let me know if I can provide any logs to help resolve this.
