Car Mode (carmode) shuffles music when it shouldn'...

Used Car Mode (or Carmode as it's know on Nokia Store) for the first time today.
Very good app and essential now that I've seen it. I do wish I had a car with bluetooth pairing though
Anyway, after I've selected an album the first track gets played but then the remaining album tracks get shuffled. Why is that?
I have not selected 'Shuffle All Songs' from the Car Mode menu and my standard Music Player is not set to shuffle anything either.

I do belive its set such way it shuffle music by default. I can't see myself driving car and searching for that one track i want to listen right now, it's a bit unsecure for other drivers.

How do I shuffle music when using genre option

Since new iOS 7 upgrade the shuffle option on genre for music is no longer there. I can't tell whether it is still there or no longer an option. It was there before the upgrade and it was something I used a lot. The iPhone 5 is my 1st apple product. Please advise if there is an option.

Found the answer from Jesse Hollington at iLounge :
"Swipe downward to reveal the search field and type in your Genre name there. When it appears in the search results you can tap on it to view all of the tracks assigned to that particular genre, grouped by album. Tap on an individual track and your device will begin playback using the displayed list of tracks as your playlist."
Tried it, and it works!

Nokia Car Mode on N8 - Bluetooth disconnects when ...

After recently upgrading to Belle, I installed Nokia Car Mode because it is what I had been looking forward to the most. However it simply disconnects the Bluetooth connection to my car's audio system a few seconds (maybe 5 seconds) after I enter the Music module.
Steps to recreate:
Start car (1999 BMW M3 running DICE Mediabridge 1500 connected to CD43 head-unit). Car's Bluetooth mode is on and car is discoverable.
Launch Nokia Car Mode on Nokia N8
Pair phone with car using the Bluetooth pairing button on the launch screen. Pairing is successful so continue by pressing the Start Car Mode button.
Press on the Music button to enter the Music module. Music attempts to start playing automatically. The display on the head-unit says "PLAYING", but no sound from the speakers and then the BT connection ends in about 5 seconds.
Thinking that perhaps my old BT pairing info might be saved/corrupted and not usable with the new Belle firmware, I performed a complete reset and re-installed Belle using a tool whose named I should not mention, but no luck even with a pristine build.
If I uninstall Car Mode from my phone, I can connect to my car and play music just fine. If you have navigation running simultaneously, the navigation prompts get routed through the car audio by virtue of the music player's streaming. However as soon as I re-install Car Mode, the same problem begins and remains until I uninstall it again. (If you don't uninstall Car Mode from your phone, it will launch itself automatically when it detects a BT connection with a car using the relevant BT profile.)
Here's another observation: During the 5 seconds that the phone has not yet disconnected, the Music Player's progress bar moves at a rate of about 1 second forward for every 5 seconds elapsed. So it is as if Car Mode introduces a performance issue to the playback.
So now I am living with the way things were in the Anna days: I can play music and navigation audio through my car just fine, but I really wish I had the extreme convenience that Nokia Car Mode provides (when it works as designed).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just installed Car Mode on my Belle-equipped N8. I have two serious complaints (not sure if this is the best place to post, but here goes
a) (Really inconvenient!) My speed dials DONT WORK! If I press and hold "2" in regular mode, I speed-dial home. In Car Mode, I just see the "2" appear, and it keeps beeping the longer I hold it! There does not appear to be a way to use speed-dial in Car Mode, which is a #FAIL (in my opinion.) You ought to be able to somehow configure this.
b) I love Internet Radio. When you select Music, you go right into the music player and can never select Internet Radio. You ought to be able to add other audio applications to the Music button.
Thanks for listening!

When I plug my Droid Incredible 2 into a car charger the phone is now permanently in"Car Mode" and won't get out. I heard that Droid will fix this, but it hasn't happened. Does anyone know how to fix i

I have a Droid Incredible 2 phone. I bought car charger and ever since I have used it, the phone thinks it is in "car mode" even when the phone is in my home, my purse,...I sets to speaker and I can not hear the phone ring. It freezes on "car mode". I heard that Droid is supposed to be fixing the problem, but nothing has happened yet. Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone at Verizon know when/if this will be fixed. If not, I expect a new phone from Verizon.

there are two ways, usually if u restart the phone it will reset, but the other is going to your system and shut it off manually...

Trouble playing music when iPod shuffle is connected

I have an iPod shuffle. When it is connected to my iTunes, it will sporadically re-connect and update every 5-10 minutes or so when I try to play music. I will try playing a new song on iTunes, and the application will interrupt my click, freeze for a few seconds, state that it is updating my Shuffle (without me instructing it to), and my Shuffle will pop up in Windows explorer. This is extremely annoying and tedious--and it only happens with my Shuffle, not my nano.
Do any other users suffer this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Just tried it and now it works. Of course it's the simplest answer. =)
Thank you!

How can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in?

how can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in? is there a app i can download so it will recognize it? i have a vauxhal astra and the controls are on the steering wheel

First question is how old is Astra and you are in UK ( well you must be to have a Vauxhall)
Normally the Radio only has a line in socket to allow sound
You have two choices here either a simple cable with a 3.5mm Headphone plus at each end
or a cable with the headphone plug to place in car's line in plug and a wide Apple socket to fit the base of your iPhone This allegedly gives better sound but you have to control the iPhone for music selection
The equipment you need to control the iPhone from the Steering Wheel controls ,which I suspect currently handles radio /Cd tracks /stations ,is much more complicated it will have to be integrate with the Factory Fitted radio
and designed to manage the S/Wheel controls and translate to the iPhone .
Fitted into back of radio etc etc
If car is a recent Vauxhall there may be a kit available from them .but will not be cheap
Many imponderables you did not give much away in your OP

Can i skip music when on general shuffle but play it in a playlist?

Quick question, I am currently adding some Christmas music to my iPod, I would like for it to be skipped when on general shuffle but to still shuffle when in a playlist. Is this possible?
When I select "skip when shuffling" it doesn't play the music when on a normal shuffle, but then again it just plays the same order of music in the playlist - no shuffle possible. Kind of a catch 22. Any help?

That is how it's supposed to work.
but then again it just plays the same order of music in the playlist - no shuffle possible.
Correct. You don't wnat these to play when Shuffle is selected so they don't.
They will only play in order.
It's not a catch-22 at all.

I upgraded to 4.3.3 and now my iPod touch music won't shuffle. When I press shuffle it keeps replaying the same song over and over.

There are two arrows below the time a song is plays. One is circular (repeat) and the other has two arrows crossing each other (?). The one going circular needs to be pressed to turned it off.

Podcasts are syncing when they shouldn't be

My iPod finally ran out of space so I wanted to remove some of the video podcasts from it. I have my podcast syncing set to sync the selected podcasts so I thought I could just uncheck the ones I didn't want to keep on my iPod and sync to remove them. That didn't work so I put my iPod in manual sync mode and removed them. I turned off the manual sync option and told it to sync again and it's copying all my podcasts (even the ones that aren't checked on the podcast tab). How do I make it stop so I can free up some space?

Ok, I can confirm that the problem doesn't affect music playlists.
I've also noticed that the files that get copied when they shouldn't take up more space than the ones that are supposed to be there. I noticed this by syncing, checking a podcast that was previously unchecked, then resyncing. It wasn't a lot of space, only around 10-25 mb.
I've also found a workaround to get the files off my iPod. I have the "Sync only checked songs and videos" option checked on the summary tab for my iPod in iTunes. I can uncheck each individual podcast that I don't want to be on my iPod, then resync and they are removed. So I guess the problem is only present on the Podcasts (possibly movies and tv shows too) tab of the iPod screen in iTunes.
Is there somewhere else I should go to submit a bug report?

How can I search and shuffle music from my ipod through itunes?

I have an ipod classic and store the majority of my music on there to save space on my macbook. Before this new update, I could search for songs on my ipod and shuffle them as well through itunes. Is there anyway I can still do this? And if not, how would I go about getting the old itunes version? I've tried searching and it only searches my library on the mac.

Back when I had to do something like that, I used Copytrans, http://www.copytrans.net/. You might see if they are what you want.
At worst, you could open the ipod classic in disk mode, locate the music files, copy them to your hard disk (they won't have good names), and just add them to your library. You'll probably lose play counts and *s with that approach, but it should work.

Shuffled music always starts at the beginning

iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.6 (but the problem was there with iOS 6, too).
When I shuffle a playlist or all songs to listen to through Bluetooth, all works well as long as I keep listening.
If I stop listening, do other stuff with my phone, and then start listening again, the shuffled music starts at the top of the playlist again instead of picking up where it left off like it used to.
In other words.... Say I shuffle the music, which gets ordered as follows:
Song A
Song B
Song C
Song D
Song E
Song F
etc.
It starts at playing Song A. Now, let's say I stop playing music in the middle of Song C. An hour later, I start the music again.
The old, correct behaviour would be that the Music app starts to play with Song C.
The more recent, annoying behaviour is that the Music app starts again at Song A.
I don't feel like pulling my phone out of my pocket every time I get in the car just to reshuffle the music.
I know I'm not the only person who sees this behaviour, but I have seen no answers for it. How can we correct this?

It appears that iOS 7.1 fixed this.
