Headphones and notifications in Jelly Bean

[osirhc]

Ever since the 4.2.1 update I've noticed an extremely obnoxious issue when listening to music. Texts and other notifications interrupt the music when using headphones or even the speaker. What's more annoying is that traditionally (this holds true on all android phones and iPhones I've ever owned) one simply puts the phone in either vibrate or silent mode and no more notifications interrupting your music. In Jelly Bean, it seems they forgot to implement this. Regardless of what sound profile I am in, silent, vibrate or normal my text tone comes through my headphones and interrupts the music. what's worse is the song isn't paused, it continues playing so if I receive a few messages at once then its almost like a CD skipping lol.

Does anyone know a good way to fix this issue? Maybe a settings option I missed? Disabling text notifications ever time I listen to music would be a little ridiculous. I text while I listen to music all the time and it's highly annoying.

I'm not sure about that issue. Maybe try another music player and see if it happens with that too. I use PowerAmp and haven't had any problems, but my TL is still on ice cream sandwich. Let us know if that works.

I will try PowerAmp and let you know, but I really like the Walkman app
