Hi,

So I'm posting my question in this forum.
I do not know if this correct or not. If I asked my question at the wrong place, then, please move my thread to the correct place.
Thank You.
I have the Verizon SGS3. I'm coming from the iPhone world and in the iPhone world, If I want to listen to songs, I open the ipod and I select any songs and they will be playing and I can come out of it and start browsing in Safari.
But in SGS3, when I'm trying to do like that it is not allowing me to do that.
I want to listen to music and browse at the same time. Is it possible in SGS3?
If yes, can You please tell me how to do it and which player should I use to play songs?
I have my songs in MP3 format.
Technical Information about my phone.
STOCK ROM
4.1.2
rooted with Super SU#

Any answer please.
I did some googling and found out that this is not possible in Android.
Seriously... Android does not have multi tasking other than the video playback??
Was trying to find any other apps or Custom Roms or there might be a work around if possible.
Thanks.

Have you tried to press the home button after starting the music? I don't know how it goes with the stock audio app as I use poweramp, but you can multitask the ish out of your phone.. I often use poweramp, tapatalk and chrome, switching between them by holding the home button
I check Twitter, fb, surf the web, play ingress, minecraft, etc while listening to music. My phone is probably playing music 12+ hours a day.

Not sure what you mean. I listen to music on Google play music and Pandora all the time while browsing and messaging.

This sounds like the problem to me. Use the back button to back out of (and kill) the app. Use home to leave it active and in the phones memory.
I regularly listen to music (Pandora, stock player, play music) and flip between kindle, browser, xda, facebook, messaging and other apps and there has never been an issue.
I 'stress test' my phone and have ended up playing music while playing a game (cut the rope) then switching out loading a webpage while checking gmail without any issues....I'm thinking you're accidentally killing the music app as opposed to letting it run in the background. Music app I use is playerpro and I'm running cleanrom 6.2 on my galaxy s3.

Do yall think the OP is referring to the browser? Cuz I can't see how their phone isn't multitasking music properly.

may be a real dumb question, but in the stock music player, you're not hitting the Menu then the "end" option to get out of the app right?
Like I said, may be really dumb suggestion , but its all I could think of. You should have no issues listening to music and doing what ever else you want on the phone.
Hey mates.
Do you know any audio player apk that has an Limiter to it? for free?, i would like to have gonemad player or something like that but the payment is done by credit cards and i don't have one , i would like to pay by the money in my SIM Card but it isn't possible . So if anyone knows an apk that is free with a Limiter tell me please, or if i could request: someone make an apk like that is possible :S.
Thanks by the way . Cheers :good:

Thanks for the answer , i saw that Portugal isn't on the list of country's that can use Paypal to buy apps on Google Play, but i also saw that i still need a credit card or bank account for this Paypal and i just said that i Don't Have a Credit Card 'the same as saying, i don't use Bank money yet and i don't have it'. The only way for me was to buy apps with the money of my SIM Card, if there isn't a way to do that then i have no choice but to go to free software . Why i don't have bank accounts? Still got no job 'never had', so not needing the use of an account for now'.
Well i guess it's a impossible request for now =/, i wanted it more to not need to buy new phone because if i at least liked to hear music on my phone 'a Xperia Mini Pro x10' then i would be happy with it because hearing Music is the best part for me on a phone and it's what i most do with it after the Sending of Sms of course xD, but if i got no reasons to like the phone then oh well it's what i have =S, and i'm lucky to have a phone like this of course i know that, but it's also true that human beings always want better as time passes by.
Cheers.
I personally use playerpro with dsp pack plugin its very nice this is my favorite music player so far... you can also use volume limiter free in google play store ...

Thanks for the answer. Yes it's a good player but it's also a paid one that i can't aford because of what i said about not having credit card, only way was to buy by Sim Card money. Volume limiter is just another app to up and down the normal volume of the phone, it's not a limiter to avoid Distortion on playing music, the goal is to hear music as loud as i can but without distortion, that's why i need the limiter.

I had tried it as well but that doesn't have the Limiter in it :S. Volume limiter e lock is a different thing, it's to Save The volume settings that you want and won't permit you to change those values, this is in case you accidentally switch volumes of your alarm etc...
Maybe i didn't explain correctly what i want xD, i'll try to explain more detailed:
For example, you know that there are songs that have more volume than others, the same will keep happening even if you put an Equalizer because it affects all songs, so if you use the Equalizer for the Low volume songs to be higher then that will make the High volume songs Distort for sure. Example: Song 1 has 94db and Song 2 has 99db, i use equalizer to gain 6db, so now Song 1 has 100db and Song 2 has 105db, what will happen? that's wright, Song 1 is on the limit without distorting '100db' but Song 2 is Distorting Way Big '105db'.
So the only way to prevent that distortion from happening is...with the (Limiter), that will make Song 2 reduce to 100db avoiding it's distortion.
Examples of that is Gonemad Player, Poweramp, Playerpro and RocketPlayer, the catch? All of them are 'paid'
That's why i'm asking help to see if there's a free alternative, or if it's possible to pay the apps with money from my Sim Card.
Cheers

Well it was a misunderstood i thought so xD, sorry for what? you're only trying to help so there's nothing to be sorry about xD. I have yes to thank you for helping me find a solution , good luck , i searched everywhere for days but without any luck , i remind you that my rom is a GB Rom 2.3.7 for a 600mhz device named Xperia Mini Pro x10 and that makes the job more difficult :S

yeah i think so too.. xD still I'll try to find and help you :laugh:
Well, i think you should start considering to buy a new device. At least a JellyBean 4.1 will do. It's worth buying rather than paying an app to achieve your wishes.

If it wasn't for the part of wasting so much money on a device 'specially not having a job or credit card, with almost no money left' that would be my first option. But i can't afford one right now, so the only way is by an app. Besides...I will always need an app like this on any device because No Device has a Audio Limiter xD.
Solved!

Hey mates, thanks for the help . Viper4android really was the solution after all , but it can only be version 2207 because other versions will do awkward restarts to my phone, this version is stable and has everything 'limiter, reverb, stereo widening, output gain' very good indeed , only thing is that i can't use convolver because that will crash android system and make the same awkward restarts then so i must be careful. No need for new device now xD .
pinkLeviosa, if you're trying to find the same thing as me, then also try viper4android you will like it .
CrazeXDA, looks like you were right after all since there still was one version stable for my phone 'not available anywhere, only on 4shared, not easy to find' xD.
Thanks mates, cheers :good:
