[Q] G4 sound quality - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just came from an s4 to a g4 and the sound quality of my music isn't as good as my previous phone. I use spotify and I noticed lg doesn't have an equalizer built in to the app like samsung does. So now my music sounds flat, and when I use 3rd party equalizers they fail when the app closes or even if I skip a song. So every time I skip a song I have to open the app again which is very annoying. Is there any way around this? Music quality is very important to me and my s4 was fine without any of this hassle.

simply try to install the following apk from the one plus one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/themes-apps/cyanogenmod-audio-fx-t3115358
It should work flawlessly

I tried that and whenever I try to open it says 'unfortunately, audio fx has stopped'. I can't even open it

Instresting, it shouldn't differ from Phone to Phone if its Spotify as its built for android, I use the Built in Music app which has a equalzer setup for their headphones

This is why I can't wait til we get root. I miss Viper4Android

[Q] AVRCP priority

Not sure the best place to ask this...when you've got your epic connected to a AVRCP-capable device (like a bluetooth headset with a play/pause button), the play button is capable of having the epic launch an app in order to play something is nothing is open.
My question is, what, in the Epic's software, determines the priority of which app gets launched, out of all the various playback apps you might have?
Some background: I mostly use my BT headphones for podcast listening on the go. I set up Tasker to launch Google Listen on phone startup (and then immediately go back to desktop) so that the app is in recent apps list. Then, if I put the play button on my headphones, Listen will launch and my podcast will start playing. If I want to switch over to pandora, I manually close Listen (using the back button) and launch pandora. Now my headphones control the play/pause on Pandora without trying to launch listen instead, which is what they might do if I had both apps open.
The problem comes in that I installed the Google Music beta app (this is different from the Music app that comes with the Epic, for clarity) so that I could access my music from the cloud. This app seems to take priority over all others. If I launch it, even once, it will always bypass Listen from then on, even if I manually close, it, kill the service, and dump the phone's ram. The only way I can switch the phone back to Listen app mode is to manually freeze Music with Titanium backup.
This is really annoying.
So, yeah, my question is, what on the phone makes it determine that launching the Music app is preferable to resuming the Listen app?
I find this extremely annoying too (because I have to pull over to fix it) so I only have miui player installed, not quite the answer but this sounds interesting would like t know as well

[Q] Music fx stops when notification comes in / disable shutter sound

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?

[Q] Is there anyway to change the audio to mono audio when using headphones?

iPhone has the option to channel the music to the right or left headphone completely, and I need that on my new M8. Poweramp does it, but I use Spotify for music, and it has no effect.
There are an endless amount of apps on the play store that should be able to do this.
I don't think there is a way that's built in.
If you're unlocked you can install a custom kernel and use Fuax's sound app

Poweramp has this feature. I use it all the time.

Headphone autoplay

Upgraded to an S8+ from a rooted S5. When I plug in headphones on the S5 it automatically starts Google Play Music but that does not happen on the S8+. Is there a trick to enabling this feature?
Nothing?
I know it works with Samsung music app but not sure with Google music stopped using it. I prefer the Samsung music app. Looks better to me but that's just my opinion.

Try this. A bit weird behavior if you use more than one music app. On my phone it launches Samsung music first and then immediately spotify, because you can't set the app it should start. But it might work for you.
PowerAmp starts automatically when I plug anything into the headphone jack, which irritates me to no end.
Thankfully it can be disabled.

Equalizer app for pie/q

The only compelling reason I have these days for rooting my phone is viper. But with all these betas and all the hassle that it involves, I'm always looking for an equalizer app that works without root.
Recently I found equalizer pie. This app works pretty well on pie, but also on q beta 6. Not even remotely close to viper, but does work in a pinch. The only catch is that it works with audio apps that start an audio session. I use four music apps. Two of them, Google play music and Spotify, work very well. The other two, Pandora and TuneIn radio, do not.
Anyways, I just wanted to share my finding. Here is the link to the app, which I have no association with.

I hope someone else finds it useful.
Cheers.
Hi
Everytime I change song to next/previous or skip to different place in song, there is short "clip" or delay, when app eq is off, there isn't something like that and switching song is smooth. Are to having the same issue?

Which app? For me it only works on Spotify and Google Play Music.
When I start Spotify, sometimes I can hear a hiss before the first song plays, but I do not hear it on subsequent songs.
I rarely use Google play music any more, so, I haven't check that one.
Sorry, with Spotify.
So you got the same..
