NEW ISSUE AFTER LOLLIPOP UPDATE in Z Ultra C6802!!

The radio stops playing in background when google now is activated. On "Force Stop" google now, the radio resumes playing. Also there is no problem when choosing a different account than the root account.

This is actually not new for Lollipop. This is a normal behavior of your phone, since the Google Now application uses the microphone to recognize voice commands. In this case, your phone stops all sounds in order to get the best quality for voice recognition.

I took the liberty of changing the topic to make it easier for other users to find.
