[Q] Any way to keep screen on while music player is playing?

I didn't notice any settings in my newly purchased Infuse that would allow this so I wanted to check, is there an add-on app or setting I'm missed that will allow the screen to stay on while the music player is playing?

this is an option that i don't believe the default player has. there are several media players in the market that have this option. i use PowerAmp, best player in my opinion

Thanks any thoughts on what is considered the most feature rich player?

people seem to like doubletwist because it integrates with itunes i believe. but as far as features, i believe poweramp is head and shoulders above the rest. it autoplays on headphone insertion/bluetooth connection. it has its own lockscreen controls. it crossfades between songs and kills the silence at the beginning and end of tracks, making for a professional dj sounding club mix. the only shortcoming is, it doesn't directly handle m3u files, but this will be fixed in the next release.

Much appreciated.

Rockbox is the most feature rich, not on the market though. You'll have to hunt for the apk.

You can do this using tasker.

I was browsing apps the other day and saw Tasker... it seemed a bit daunting so I didn't look in to it closer... (as an aside I'm probably going to stay with the default music player as I like its integration and swiping capabilities), but it looks like I can use tasker to replicate a feature I did like from poweramp (launch automatically when headset is plugged in), and the keep backlight on... guess I'll give it a whirl.
Thanks again.
edit: Stumbled through setting up the task I wanted related to the music player this morning.
Worked brilliantly. Thanks!

I have tried them all well not exactly but most the ones people recommend, none the less I had problems with the stock one doing the same thing. Sometimes it would play a song then sometimes it would just be silent, any way I tried the playerpro trial version same as full version just only last 5 days. any way it and dsp pack for it has proved to be the best so far plays anything, and had allot of sound adjustment. No I don't work for them lol just my 2 cents

PowerAmp continues to be my favorite. Though it seems like there's a bug related to scanning each time the app is launched that was causing me some issue. Disabled that option and everythings good.

I use playerpro, like the features, get missing album covers, no issues. The widget is awesome, try it, it is free. The app is well supported.

I have this exact problem. It isn't quite clipping but whenever there is a crescendo it only ramps up partway and then gets mushy as though there is a normalizer running. The consistency with which it does this has me thinking as though each frame in the MP3 is being decoded at a different level!

Listen to music and navigation - too much to ask?

Hi all,
Running Endymion and have done some touring this week. I use copilot for navigation and wanted to listen to music at the same time. Every time I switched to the music player then back, copilot seemed to restart. Also, music was very choppy as if the phone couldn't cope. My music is sac+ 48k parametric stereo (so I can fit lots on my ad card. Ad card itself is 6xspeed.
Anyone recommend a way to navigate and listen to music at the same time? Happy to change music player, navigation program and even Rom if I can get it working well.
Thanls

I use winamp with music and sometimes play games while doing that.. Music does not stutter at all but the game seems to lag a bit from time to time (not that bad though). Haven't used endymion for some time but from what i recall it was snappy and fast, so don't think that the rom is the problem.
At the top of my head i can suggest to mute the nav software so that it and the music sw don't "fight" over which will use the speaker..
Try that and let us know.
Cheers!

Hi, I also using WinAMP for listening music. I didn't try listening music while navigate, but I'm using IGo navigation software and it didn't crash when I switch between another applications on my DS. So, I suggest, use IGo. BTW, you can find a lot of detailed maps for it in the web.

how to stop headset from track skipping?

I'm not exactly sure of this, but I think when I run with my ONE S, listening to music, my sweat tends to short the music controller on my headphones, 'causing the phone to skip tracks. It will skip tracks or fast-forward until I unplug the headphones from the jack. Is there a setting/mod to prevent the phone from using to the headphone controller from track switching?
I've tried using different players, mx player, winamp, apollo, etc... they all eventually go berserk after 20-30 minutes of running.
Thanks!

Yeah, there's this epic mod called headphones, costs about $10, they don't have music controls on them, so your sweat won't affect the music .
Apart from that, a really basic music ap may not have coded the music controls in so, could try to find one on google play. :fingers-crossed:
Edit: Or could wrap duct tape or something around the controls stopping water/sweat getting in.

LOL, thanks for the mod idea, but I'm a bit of a fan of my headphone's audio quality... I will try looking for a more basic music app though.
thanks again for the tip!

Get music controls to work right with Poweramp (or skip with Play music)?

Hey all,
so I've been noticing some issues with using music controls for both Google Play and Poweramp. I use Poweramp for my everyday player and would prefer it worked with the Gear 2. However it does not display track information correctly, instead it only displays the most recent video played. More importantly, there is noticeable lag between button presses and skipping track, it makes scrubbing through an album difficult. Google play works better, much quicker and responsive and it displays track info, but you are unable to skip forward or backwards if you hold down previous or next, as you're able to do with Poweramp. I've messed with settings in Poweramp, made it high priority in bluetooth settings and disabled the beep option for track skipping and it is still very slow in response. I've also enabled all the bluetooth track info things and it still doesnt send the track. I'd be happy, I guess, if I could only get it to respond as quick as Google Play does. I dont see using google play though because of the inability to seek through tracks. I've updated play music with no success, still no scrubbing ability. It's frustrating. Any thoughts?
UPDATE: In case anyone else wants it to work with poweramp, apparently you need to have google play NOT disabled. And you should start music via poweramp instead of the gear and track info will be sent. Responsiveness is still very slow and laggy. As much as I hate Play music, if only it would be able to skip, I would switch over to it for the gear. But at least Poweramp can skip and display track info if you havent disabled Play Music. Hopefully the poweramp dev can make it work quicker but I'm doubtful. It really flies on Play Music. A shame.

+1 with displaying most recent video played. For me, I mostly want it to work with Spotify, and have run into the same problem you have. Best we can do is wait for Samsung to iron out all the kinks.
