Waze app conflict on Android
Hello, when the Waze navigation app is running in the foreground with Podcast Addict running in either the background or minimised, whenever navigation speech occurs on my car Bluetooth then the last part of the Waze navigation message is clipped. You then get 5-10 seconds of silence before Podcast Addict resumes playing, or pauses indefinitely. This doesn't happen with any other apps that I use, only Podcast Addict.
This is on the latest versions of both apps, on a Google Nexus 5X mobile. It also happens in other cars when running on Bluetooth, so I'm confident it's the apps themselves, as any other media app plays nicely with Waze.
Thanks!
I’m sorry to hear that however the app just reacts to the audio focus requestss it receives. It will automatically resume playback as soon as the other app releases its audio focus.
Without this notofication, the app cannot resume playback. Please quickly go into Settings/Feedback and send me some logs via email as soon as this issue happens so I can chcek what the app received (Settings/Feedback)
Thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem regardless whether Waze is active via Bluetooth or not. Other podcasting apps do not have this problem - their volume is just lowered when Waze sounds are present.
I would like to continue using Podcast Addict because the interface and functionality is the best, but this problem is very annoying in the car, hence I'm fordced to use a different app :(

Hi Xavier, just to add that that I'm also having having this issue when Podcast Addict is playing a podcast in background and Waze navigation is active via Bluetooth.

Hi Xavier. Same problem with Waze here. PA just shuts down whenever Waze gets focus. No error message. Waze sound is set to go through phone speaker and PA through car stereo via Bluetooth. Same thing happens if PA sound goes through auxiliary cable or (less often) if Waze notifications are turned off. This is so annoying because it renders impossible to use PA in car as Waze is a must.

I also having an issue running Waze and Google Maps with PA. For me, if PA is running, when the other program "speaks" both apps are muted. Waze and Google Maps work perfectly with other apps over Bluetooth, so this is an issue with PA.

I have similar issues, but with speech from google maps turn by turn navigiation.
When i run google maps and another program such as google play music the sound changes perfectly.
If i run google maps together with podcast addict however. The first couple of seconds of sound from google navigation is not played.
I've paid for PA, and have been happy about it, but this issue and missing cross device sync feature is really starting to anoy me. I'm strongly considdering finding another app for my podcasts.
