[Q] Google Music

1. Sometimes while playing music that is even cache'd to the phone it will stop after every song and I have to turn the screen on for it to advance, is that normal?
2. Is there anyway of getting lock screen controls for it?
Thanks in advance

No, it's not. Do you have underclocking profiles for when the screen is off? If so, having it set too low interferes with playing music; bump it up a little. If not, try clearing the application data (settings > manage applications > [find the app] > clear data).
As far as I know, the only way to get lock screen controls is if you use a third party lockscreen (Widgetlocker; others may work too, idk) and install Phantom Music Control.

Yea I found out it was juice defender turning my data off with screen off.

Crap still does not go to next track with screen off even on wifi or with data on

What player are you using? Some don't stay on. Try DoubleTwist.

Just the Google Music app, poweramp works fine. But I'd rather stream than load my sd card

Bump, does anyone else use Google Music? It keeps sometimes auto advancing the music and others it won't play the next song in the album unless I turn the screen on after the previous track ends. This is with Data always on or not so it's not that. I wish PowerAmp could not just see the Pinned for offline but also read the meta-data

Yes sometime it will play 20 seconds then jump to next song..

I'm having the same problem with Google Music - music stops playing after each song and resumes when I press the power button. I had this problem unrooted and rooted. I don't know if it only happens with Google Music because that's the only music app I use. Might switch over to the stock music app for a while and see if that's any better.

It's just the Google Music app, poweramp works fine or other apps.

I've been having this problem for months now, and it seems there's no interest in fixing it. It's not just your phone, either--I'm on a T-mo version of this phone and it happens on any rom, rooted or not, and I despise the built-in music app.

I'm glad I'm not the only one and going crazy haha, hopefully google will get the Google Music app updated quickly or allow 3rd party apps to access the streams

[Q] Sound not working

I own a Samsung Galaxy Ace-i (s5830i)
since two days, the sound in my phone is not working.
that is, my alarms, notification sounds, media sounds, call alerts do not produce sound from the device. i tried plugging in the head phone. But it wasn't of any use.
I tried flashing Rom, but didnt help.

Also, any solution for this?

Have you tried an audio test?
*#*#0673#*#* AND *#*#0289#*#*
OR
*#0673# AND *#0289#

What rom are you using ? Certain BCM21553 devices (my device included) have audio problems in some roms.

When you say "start working sometimes when I use soundabout"...what exactly do you mean? The speakers go in and out? It plays for a while then cuts out? Have you tried other third party apps?
Also, maybe try to remember certain apps you downloaded right before the speakers stopped working and uninstall them.
Last resort, try a factory reset. If rooted, just do a nandroid backup.
Let's hope it's not a hardware issue, like a loose wire. Is your phone still under warranty?

no. The phone is not under warranty.
i do not remember downloading any third party app as such. but can you recommend any such app? i will check if it solves the problem.
i didnt backup my phone. so i cant restore any.
and starts sometimes means when i plugin my headphones and start the soundabout, sometimes i can hear sound. and then untill i reboot my phone, the sound works.

Are you listening to music that is on your phone? Try an online app, like Spotify or Pandora. See if the music will play for that.

Can't adjust volume in Google music.

Anyone know of a fix? My volume won't lower while playing music through the app. Works fine in any other situation.

So when you hit the volume buttons does the ringer volume change instead of the music volume? Or does nothing happen?
Are you running stock, stock with xposed modules or a ROM?
Are you trying to play through the phone speaker, headphones or bluetooth? And have you tried another option and does the issue still occur?

It's defaulted to media volume (via xposed and gravity box), but before that it would still show the media volume while in the app and never adjust. I've tried Paranoid Android, stock with xposed, and stock after a complete re-image. CyanogenMod seemed to be immune from this issue, or maybe I never tested it.
Bluetooth works fine, headphones untested (I'm at work at the moment), so the speaker is my main issue. All other media apps work fine. I managed to fix it once by toggling the volume in the YouTube app, then switching back to Music and it worked. That trick hasn't work since. Also, the volume meter does move, it just keeps it at max volume regardless.

get rid of the xposed

[Q] Is there a "Long press volume to skip tracks" mod?

I'm on the stock g920T---OCG rom, rooted, and looking for a way to control the music in my pocket.
Anyone care to teach me how to make this mod?
Maybe it already exists somewhere? :highfive:

Such an awesome mod that really does need to be added as an option in stock ROMs more often. Be much better than accidentally blasting mega volume into your ears because you've already accepted responsibility for bypassing safe volume once today :3
In other words, BUMP!

I haven't seen it yet. Maybe that'll be my next mission.

I agree. This should be an option on stock roms. I'm surprised that it isn't by now.

Also, whenever I get a notification while listening to music it'll fade out then play notification sound then music again.
That is a nice feature for calls but not notifications. Is there any way to change it?
For now I just turn off wifi/data.

Do you use the stock music player? I use Power Amp and don't get that. Unless it's because I have notifications set to mute?

Yea that's gotta be it, thanks. I didn't think of that.

I'm also looking for a way to do this mod.

I need this! Please!

Root your phone, install xposed then download wanam kit and go to the sound option and u can skip tracks with screen off.. Your welcome

PX5 and power amp issues

ok i am posting this here in a sepperate thread
Issue: when using poweramp... and then pausing it... then opening Radio or Video application.. radio/video screen appears for a second then closes, in this second (from what i can understand) a multimedia button press (play/pause) is sent to poweramp by the radio/video application.. automatically
this is very strange. it seems that radio/video app is trying to pause poweramp by sending a multimedia button press, which actually creates a problem, as opening the radio app is impossible!!! as the radio senses poweramp is open and it closes..
disabling poweramp "headset multimedia buttons" solves the problem.. but then we lose the steering wheel controls for poweramp.
has anyone noticed the issue?
This happens on malaysk's rom

Just reinstalled everything and I can confirm these there is a comparability issue between Poweramp and radio/video app. This exists in all roms that exist for PX5.
Even factory roms

I've noticed a similar problem with TomTom Go.
When I use the TomTom and try to open the Radio or AVIn, the AVIn or Radio screen appears for a second but it closes immediately.
In the background, however, I hear the audio of the AVIn or Radio but there is no video.
As you said you must be a problem with these apps ........

I cannot believe no one has noticed..
By the way strangely TomTom runs fine here

I have the same issue ... I noticed it just after sleep. Once headunit wakes up if I press radio it closes ...but after that everything is normal...expect sometimes I lose the song ot was playing in Poweramp and it goes to the first aong again
I have car launcher pro installed which have a small Poweramp widget included

yes the behaviour you say is correct..
the "video app" is worse.. it will not open..
try it..
i have a feeling this has something to do with canbus as i can not explain why not many people have noticed it until now

I don't have canbus box and I have same problem; but if I play music (poweramp or rocketplayer) from widget (without open app), this problem is solved

A workaround in Rocket Player is to activate the "ignore otber apps" option in "audio focus" settings. Anyway if you do that and turn on radio while listening to Rochet Player you will hear both.
Anyone found a solution?

hmmmm i have same issues.....
I am using malaysk rom with FCC launcher (also have AG launcher), when i try to switch from media source often the new source is opened and closed again and i cannot get the new media source started (from a widget),
Had no idea this was a universal problem and more people had simular problems.

Issue I'm having with Poweramp is that when I make a call using google app the music pauses as it should but as soon as phone starts ringing the music starts playing again and I cant turn sound down as doing that also turns down phone speaker,
I like using this app because it can be set to scan usb only for music , does anyone know of another app that does the same

Poweramp settings-->audio-->advanced tweaks-> uncheck direct volume control

That sorted it, I'm glad because I use it with car launcher pro and this is the only combination that seems to not lose the usb stick I have my music on , everything just works as it should

Still no fix for the original problem of this post? It's annoying to say the least when I have to disable the buttons on the steering wheel before I can use video app.

nope still no sollution i am afraid.. I don't know whether Oreo roms sorted that out

I guess everybody here has the problem with poweramp and the bluetooth music connection, right?
As soon as I switch to Bluetooth Music control, it starts poweramp

I am having the same original issue too. Either with some online radios apps or DI.FM for example. Quite annoying, I had to uninstall DI.FM because when pressing play it would launch and play PowerAmp...
I couldn't find anything that would solve it with CANBUS or any other settings.

Hello there. have a nice day. In my car listening to music with poweramp does not turn off during the phone call with bluetooth. So the music doesn't stop. I have activated the bluetooth option but still continue. I use in the car radio, dasaita px3 and 7.1.2 Android version. v2.99 mcu version
