Hi all,
I'm new to a non-Nexus phone so forgive the noobness please. I am trying to find out if it's possible to ditch this Soundalive thing that came on my phone and get back the built-in equalizer in the Spotify app.
I tried turning off Soundalive in the application manager but after that trying to access the equalizer crashed Spotify.
Any help?
The only way to ditch it is through root, or i believe certain equalizer apps on the play store probably work system wide. I am not entirely sure though.

Streaming music apps like spotify/ google music have in app equalizers that really make a difference, hence I use them. But every so often the equalizer turns off by itself reverting back to a loud/flat sound. But as soon as you go to check the equalizer, it says it is still on and the sound reverts to your settings in the equalizer.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Hi I have a LG GK(f220k), which is actually a korean version of G pro, I have installed a custom music fx ported from Vega R3, it works fine with poweramp and the google play music, but the problem is, it occassionally stops the effect when notification comes in such as whatsapp or ringer, and I need to enable it again by reclicking the music fx button in poweramp, then it works fine again. Sometimes it stops when I listen for long time too, i mean playing music for few hours, then suddenly I need to reclick music fx button and fix it, can anyone tell me the reason? Actually I had a g pro before and it has the same problem, I know it may be related to the compatibility. And i am thinking it might be resolved if I try to integrate the custom music fx into the system or bypass the original audio processing path by using root explorer.....such as changing lib.Thanks PS, anyone can tell me how to disable the stock camera shutter?
The problem:
My M8 is having difficulty playing music with sound. When I try to play music on the phone, the song will play. However, there will be no sound coming out from the speakers.
What I tried already:
I tried using a different music player. I downloaded Shuttle+ and tried to play, but I keep getting the same issue. Sometimes, when I reboot the phone, the stock music app works properly, but after the currently playing song is done, it would again play but not produce sound. If I go to the Shuttle app and play a song while the song plays with no sound on the stock music app, the Shuttle app works fine. But then after the song is done on Shuttle, I have to switch to the stock music app for sound to come out properly.
I remember how Google limited SD card functionality (my music was on my sd card). So I transferred the songs onto the phone storage, but I still have the issue. Then I figured that the issue might be my mp3 files. I deleted them all to try to isolate the problem. I tried playing song from the Google Play Music app and it appears to be working fine. This morning, the google play music also exhibiting the same problem. So even Spotify is having the problem. The music will load and the slider will move to indicate the song is playing, but again no sound. I tried deleting the data of all the music apps I have and they still do not work properly.
I have xposed modules installed so I disabled all of them and restarted the phone, but the problem persists.
Also, the boomsound speakers are functioning properly. Youtube videos and regular video files play with sound. I only appear to be having problems with music.
Phone modification:
This is probably really important to figuring out what the issue is. My phone is rooted and S-off. I have xposed installed with the following modules: forced immersive mode, greenify, keepchat, nfciconremover, snapshare, unicon, youtube adaway.
Other than that, the phone is stock.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Solution
I performed a factory reset and started all over to isolate what modification caused this music bug.
Turns out, it was flashing the Tethering mod located here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708548
If you are currently experiencing this problem, go back to pure stock OR simply flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2731893
Now, if you still want tethering, install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715671.
I can confirm that installing that will give you tethering and not break music functionality!

I no longer have the M8, but I had the exact same issue. I also thought that it had something to do with storing my music to the SD Card via Google Play Music.
I would back up, flash a Rom and see if that fixes it. I'm guessing it will work fine and it's just something happened from xposed.

I listen to music via Bluetooth streaming in my car using the factory MUSIC app. I'd like to be able to get into the car, turn on the BT streaming mode on my car audio and automatically begin playing music. However, the factory task manager automatically closes the MUSIC app after I get out of the car and I have to load it manually each time.
Being that everyone recommends that with KitKat one shouldn't install a task killer/manager other than what's from the factory....how can this be done?
Is there any way to put the music on an exclusion list?
Thanks in advance.
If understand correctly, you want the music to continue playing on your phone's speaker when disconnected from your car audio?

negative, the music will pause automatically when the music app detects a break in bluetooth connection when I turn off the car. What I need is for the MUSIC app itself to continue running in the background (it's not a big resource or battery hog) for when I get into my car for a seamless transition back to playing music.... because once the phone shuts down the app I need to load it again...a PITA.
Thanks.

It will continue running in the background, this isn't really a task killer problem but more of an app thing.. For example, I use play music and it resumes playing once I connect to Bluetooth again even if I kill it myself.. I would check the settings if you haven't already and see if there's is a setting for it, I've seen other apps with settings like that, but don't know about the stock music app
it is not in fact running in the background. No such option in setting either. Anyone know of any app that could make it be ignored by the default task manager?
You can do it with xposed if interested
The head unit in your car may have something to do with it.
Factory? Aftermarket?
I have a Kenwood w/7in touch screen and if my BT on phone is enabled as soon as the Kenwood starts up whatever app was running before will start playing automatically, Samsung music app, Amazon music app..
If Milk music or Pandora I have to launch app.
Pp.
there are a few apps on the market with that name.... also do I need root access? As far as the head unit it's a factory stereo Infiniti q50

It's not on the market and you need root access.. If you are interested do a quick search for xposed on Google and go to the one here on XDA, read about it on the thread and how to use it, install it, open it, and search for a module called app settings, in there you have an option to always keep in memory for whatever app you want so just select stock player. Keeping the music player running may not even be the solution, but it is a possibility.. As the previous poster stated, there are apps that just lack autoplay feature.. It is also possible that some other music app or app that uses Bluetooth may conflict with it, preventing it from auto playing
Hello,
So as you can see, my htc desire 616 has an equalizer problem.
I'm gonna be totally honest here, it was my fault. I'm such a noob. I rooted my device with kingo root and it worked out just the way it was supposed to be. It's got boomsound, or it use to have anyway, I was listening to some songs on poweramp with i patched through lucky patcher with nice volume. But I previously had a Samsung and I rooted it and enjoyed exposed framework. I installed Beats Audio on that through an apk. It was so stupid of me to try that on this device which already had an updated version of beatsaudio ie. boom sound.
when i restarted my phone, and opened my player expecting an awesome sound, it got the like drrrr rrrr. I though my dive had gone wrong, or whatever so I uninstalled beatsaudio from the app and restated. And boom, my boomsound waas gone. Now it plays songs through the speaker with very low sound volume. I think my equalizer got messed up as whenever i open power amp, or the music effects on my music app, or the system equalizer and play music, ONE ERROR COME UP. UNFORTUNATELY, MUSIC FX HAS STOPPED every time. Guys so do I have to change my equalizer or is there a way to get back my boomsound. I've tries restarting, rebooting with clearing delvic cache and everything. PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP
