Hi all,
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here but I was flicking through some of the sample tracks that came with my Hero and then I clicked on one to make it play. Now I cannot get back to the screen where you can flick left and right through the cover-art of the tracks; I can only see the lists of albums/artists etc, not the iphone like cover-flo...
Help!
S.
There is a button in the bottom right corner while the track is playing and the music app is open to switch between cover flow and list view.
Thanks but that doesn't help. I can get the view up so that an album is displayed on the screen, but it says 1 of 1 and I cannot scroll left or rigt to other albums no matter what I do.
How frustrating, I don't get what's happened here? What could have changed?
Lol, can someone please assist, I just know the solution is right under my nose...
Not sure its the same problem but I couldnt search by cover flow either so I tried a few things
I rarely browse by artist and pick the first artist - I have found that this option gave me back the cover flow to scroll across all the albums for all artists
Strangely, album browse only gives the list view as do all the others - hope this helps a little

Go to the music app, use the bottom left button to go to music selection. Select the albums tab (second tab). Menu -> Play all. It will enqueue all your albums and you can now flick through them in a coverflow style in the main music app.
Awesome! Thanks for that. I appreciate I may seem a little stupid for not realising that's what I had to do, but come on - hardly intuitive now is it?
I agree, had the same problem for a while.

Hi,
I installed Winamp Pro on my Galaxy S3 (running 4.0.4), but when I try and use the controls on my Bluetooth headphones it launches the stock music app. Is there any way to set it so that those controls control Winamp instead? I have the relevant check box checked in Winamp, but it doesn't appear to make a difference.
Also, when the stock music app is launched via the icon in the regular app list, you are taken to a view where at the top of the screen it says All, Playlists, Albums, Artists etc. How do you get to this view if you launch the app via the widget?
When I click on the widget it brings up the main screen, but it displays the album art for the current track along with player controls. I can scroll left and right to change tracks, but only for that particular album. If I press the little on-screen button (bottom-right) I get a text based list of tracks, but again, for the current album only. I can't get to that screen that has "All, Playlists, Albums" etc. at the top in order to select a different album or browse my library.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi,
For the second part of your query, I believe this is a bug (which I intend to contact Samsung about today).
There is a way around it: from the screen you've described, there should be a button at the right under the album art (next to the shuffle and repeat controls). If you press this it takes you to the "music square" screen. At the top you will now have the menu for playlists, artists, etc.
On mine, in order to not have to scroll across the top, I've disabled everything except Artist and Music Square. Unfortunately you can't disable music square as this also disables the button!
As for the first part, I'm not entirely sure for Winamp but the option to respond to Bluetooth (or headset) controls should be within the Winamp settings (something like "override headset buttons" or something.
Thanks for the reply.
After starting this thread, I noticed that "music square" workaround when watching YouTube vids of people showing off the phone. I had hidden that option, which is why I was finding it impossible to get back to that main menu!
As for Winamp, I've switched to another player now, but I believe Winamp has now been updated to fix the problem I mentioned.
Why is it that when I open the music player via the widget, I cannot access my music folders ie artists / albums, am I missing something?
Nope. You're spot on. I can't either. But there is a way around this. I press the music square button (somewhere near the bottom right of the screen) and then it goes to the music square tab, but you can access the others as well. Give it a try.

I hate how I have to do that!
I had deleted the music square option as I don't use it. Seems I have to re-anble it as a work round until Samsung fix it.
On my S3, in the gallery, my friend who has the same phone has the delete icon in the top right corner when a picture is viewed in full screen, however mine is the slideshow button.
is there anyway to change it to the delete button?
my friend's came with her phone but mine didn't...
also next to it, i have the bluetooth shortcut and i was wondering if you can also change that.
Thanks

The gallery will have a slideshow button when within a folder where there are a lotta images.. The delete button will be visible when u press on any particular photo so that it is the only one on screen...
For your second qn, there are two buttons in the middle. One for share which contains all the sharing options. The next one can be set to any particular share feature (bluetooth, wifi direct etc) You need to hold the second button with one finger to change it.
Try it out. Hope I helped..

I think I can help with the playlist. I can tell you how to do that with the media program that Sony made for these phones; Media Go.
http://mediago.sony.com/enu/features
Drag songs to a playlist, then click the 'artist' or 'song' tab and it will alphabetise immediately, now sync that to your phone.
What do you mean by replicate the dance setting? There is a manual equalizer tab, if that's what you need to do.

thanks! can you tell me how to sync it?
what i meant was - i need to know the exact manual levels of the bar so that it will sound like the "dance" preset on ray.
Sure, when you have installed the program Media Go, add music to your library. You can either drag and drop into your library or tell it to use music from a folder that you want.
Now prepare your playlist. Click artist or song to alpabestise whichever you need. Now connect your phone. Your phone will appear in the top left corner. Click on your phone or SD card and on the top right corner you will see sync media. Select the playlist and click ok. Now it will start syching!
There will probably be easier, faster ways of doing this, but this is the fastest that I know of.
As for the dance equalizer settings, I know what you mean now. Either use the equalizer in iTunes or Media Go. Open eqalizer and select dance, you will see the bars move to dance setting. Use this to change the bars in the Walkman app on your phone! I hope this helps!
thanks! let me try this when i get home

I was able to see the equaliser settings. thanks.
is it possible to import the playlist from my phone, edit it in media go, then put it back?
Quite possibly. Connect your phone, then on the left hand side look for playlists near your phone. Find your playlist then right click it, see if 'import' comes up. If it doesn't, look at the bottom of the page, possibly along the right hand side for import (but you must have highlighted the playlist on the left column first). Edit the playlist, then you could possibly sync in at least 3 places:
1. right click the edit playlist and look for export to
2. look at the bottom right hand corner of the page for export to
3. in the top right hand corner, look for sync and find your playlist, click ok
I hope this does what you need it to!

import comes up, but i dont see my playlist from my phone.
would you know where to find it? sorry, im really a noob in this.
thanks again
Ask as much as you like, as much as I can help, I will!
When you plug in your phone, and you see it on the left in Media Go, did you click the arrow beside the phone? The arrow reveals the contents of the phone. Do you see a playlist now?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.
In the Facebook app for Android and on the mobile website, my liked pages aren't show correctly. I think it only shows likes from a huge while back, as any pages I've recently liked just don't show up. The weird part is that my newesty liked pages shows up on the button for likes on my profile, but once you click it, it's nowhere to be found. Another werid thing is that after pressing that, it says that I have "Other Likes: 11", but once I click that, it only shows 9.
Here is what I want you to try:
Go to the facebook app, slide out the menu and click your own name to go to your profile.
Slide to the side in the area where you have About, Photos, Friends and Places and slide until you see the Likes button.
Check the pictures on that button and see if you can find them in after clicking the button
See if the number of Other Likes match with the amount it shows.
I'm wondering if its just a bug for everyone or if I'm the only one having the problem. Maybe there is even another way to get to your liked pages??
No one facing this problem?
