I have a bug that's occured in both stock and Liquid Speed ROMs and would like to share.
I have been using the built-in Google Music app as my media player and have discovered an easily recreatable (for me) bug. When playing music off the internal memory that does not have album art the slider bar you'd use to fast forward does not function, the music timer does not appear, and the timer which would show the length of the song indicates 0:00. If I try to use the slider to fast forward to any point in the song it resets to the beginning.
This problem does not occur if the media has album art attached.
Is there another version of Google Music I could try? Perhaps an older one?
If not, can I get recommendations for an alternate media player?
Thanks
I was a long time ios user that bought the galaxy note, and my biggest issue is controlling music apps.
On the iphone from the lockscreen regardless of what app I'm playing from (spotify, stitcher, ipod, whatever) I could easilly pause and play whatever I'm listening to from one interface.
I haven't found a way to do this with my Note. What I've resorted to doing is having a seperate spotify app widget, and a stitcher app widget, and an audible widget on my lockscreen so I can pause and play each of them pending on what I was listening to.
Please tell me there is a way around this.
Most of the good music apps have a setting to place controls on the lockscreen. Look in the apps settings.
beats audio
you should put beats audio on your phone

Yeah, thats what I have, but thats what I'm trying to avoid (having individual apps having lock screen controls). So on my lockscreen now I have A widget for stitcher, spotify, and audible. I was hoping to have one thing that allows me to pause/play what I'm listening to like I can on an ios device.

Sorry. I guess I wasn't really clear in my post. You don't need the widgets or icons in the lockscreen. Just go to the application and there "should" be a setting to allow the player in the lockscreen. Then, when you are playing something it will show in the lockscreen. But only while it is playing. Otherwise it is hidden, not visible. This works for my Poweramp app. I don't have the apps you listed so I can't get any more specific than this. Hope it helps.
Found the app Media Buttons
Does exactly what I needed. Now I can pause music from any app without having to think about whats playing.
I currently use google music to play my music, but I noticed that the headset can only pause/play. I downloaded Jays headset controls off google play and it works well except it turns off the music widget on the lockscreen. Is there any way get the lockscreen widget AND Jays headset controls to work too
On my stock GS5, within the default music player, Facebook Messenger chat heads will not show up when selecting it from the notifications bar. If another notification is selected, for instance, gmail, the music player will display the fully expanded chat heads on top of gmail. If chat heads are visible on another app, switching to the default music player will make the chat heads disappear into the background. Can anyone else replicate this with their device?
is there a way to disable the default music app? I want to see if the screen off gestures work with other music app if i disable the default music player.
You can try ADB command to do that.
