Google Play Music - Cant seek through track

[kvlt]

Hey everyone, I'm absolutely enamored with this phone so far. The one issue I'm having that seems to be a recurrent one (I've seen reports across OnePlus devices) is the inability to skip forward in a track in Play Music. Doing so just restarts the track at the beginning.

I'm just curious to see how widespread this is and if anyone has a potential fix or any ideas.


Everything stock outside of root, by the way.

I finally got hold of GPlay support regarding this. They said that it's expected behaviour, and that any song downloaded from GPlay Music can not forward/rewind. I'm not sure, but I recall being able to use the seek bar on GPM downloaded songs on my OPO, I was rooted and running AOSP. I'm running stock on my OP5.

Can anyone confirm if GPM downloaded music is seekable(if that's a word) on any other ROMs/phones?

I can definitely confirm it with prior Nexus and pixel phones. I've heard, at least on older OnePlus phones, that different roms solved the problem, thus being an oxygen os issue. Hopefully we can find more out.

Has anyone upgraded to 4.5.10? There's mention of a GPlay Music scroll fix, not sure if it's related to this as 4.5.10 hasn't rolled out to my region yet.

Can confirm that it seems to have been fixed. Everything is working on my end. What a relief, and kudos to OP for fixing it.

Yea. Yet to get the update. I had submitted a bug report, after which they reached out for logs and everything.
