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..

Hi,
First things first. I'm running JB touchwiz and rooted.
here's my system info if you need it. http://imgur.com/YQ2rILN.png
So, here's my problem. I am using two different players (technically 3 if you count pandora which I don't use very much) - PowerAmp (paid) and Google Play Music. The reason I have 2 players is because I have way more music than I can store on my phone which is where google play is nice, but I also like listening to FLAC files -google play only plays up to 320 - I also like having music on the device in case I lose 4g signal, and I like poweramp's interface much better. Because I'm using two players, they often compete for which one plays. I use my phone to stream music to my car stereo and alarm clock via bluetooth, and when I connect it to either device OR to my headphones via wired connection, poweramp overrides google play and starts playing whatever I listened to last, even if I killed the program previously or was listening to google music last. Basically, when I connect anything, it defaults to poweramp and not Google play regardless of which I was listening to. I want this the other way around, since I use google play much more often since I have so much more music on it. It's endlessly frustrating.
Now for the question - Is there a way to reverse this, so that when I connect my headphones or stereo it will default to playing from google music and not poweramp? Or, even better, is there a way to integrate google music's streaming ability in to poweramp somehow?
Oh, one last thing. I am wondering if there is a way to make PowerAmp and Google Music show on the touchwiz lock screen, with controls? Currently neither do, even though I have the option enabled in PowerAmp.
Thanks! :laugh:
I haven't used TouchWiz in a long time, but I know with AOSP, there is an option regarding what the phone does when a headset is connected. It's at System settings > Sound > Launch music app for AOSP users.
Seems like you could fix it there. Before this option became available, I was using Tasker to accomplish the same thing.

There doesn't seem to be any such option in that area. I did just think of something, Is there a way to replace the lock screen that doesn't suck? i like stock aosp lock screen better than touchwiz, I just like touchwiz for the guestures and shortcuts and such.
Use tasker
In power amp there is a setting to turn off the auto play when connected.

I can't help with your priority question, but I can tell you that with TW, you lose lockscreen music control ability. I know it's dumb, but it is what it is.

Hey that sounds like a very good idea. I just need to learn to use Tasker. Please feel free to elaborate.
I'm having this same problem. I have a Verizon S3, and have a tasker profile set up so that when I connect my phone to a power source it will automatically turn on bluetooth, connect to my car, launch google play, and start playing the last played song.
The problem is it launches Play Music, but starts playing Poweramp. Play music is what's on my screen, but when I swipe the notifications down PowerAmp is playing the music. I've checked everything and it should be set up correctly, but this still happens.
Any Ideas?

Have you checked the headset settings in poweramp to make sure no auto resumes are selected?

Yeah, Checked and removed the selections for that. And nothing in the Tasker profile is connected to Poweramp, yet it continually plays music from it...

What about respond to headset controls? Poweramp resumes playing on my car when I connect it to Bluetooth if I have that option enabled too

Hello all,
My (stock) HTC One X has the following very annoying bug: All music apps randomly pause audio (at any time, screen on/off).
I've tried with Winamp, the stock music app, the plain google music app and Deezer. It happens least frequently with Deezer and most frequently with the stock music app. (Drawback with Deezer is that it doesn't allow you to play music stored on the phone).
Does anyone have a fix for issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm posting a new thread since the existing topics about audio playback seem to centre around distortion or ticking sounds. I don't have any of that, perfect audio until it is randomly paused. Moreover, once it is paused it can't be "unpaused" from the lock-screen for some reason (so this becomes more annoying when driving/jogging/walking).
Rooting and installing a custom rom could be a solution, i just wanted to explore other options first.
Thanks for any help!
Does your headset have button(s)? Maybe you press them without noticing.

You are not alone, I've been having this problem as well. I've tried, winamp, stock, google play and it happens with them all. I just have plain headphone's plugged in.
I can only assume it's another app that conflicting somehow.
I have however enabled the player on my lock screen, so I can re-start from there, but agree it's painful when hands free is required.
I have Android Revolution HD ROM
and for some reason sometimes it will play music and other times it wont.
Pandora works 100% of the time.
But the music player will play music maybe 20% of the time.
I have to keep clicking forward or rewind continuously for it to play the song I want (which only works if it's the only song in the queue, or else hitting forward and back multiple times skips it to other songs)
Anyone else having this problem?
It's really irritating and I have everything else that works besides that.
Thanks!
Not exactly the same problem you're having but, on google play music, often if I play a song and press the back button the song will stop and start all over again. I'm using insert coin but had it on arhd too. Might be a bug in the app.

You are correct, after some investigation, I have found out that HTC Music app is kinda bugged with custom ROMs I believe.
Or just mine.
Google Music works fine.
But I really like the HTC Music because it downloads album art and lyrics!!!
how awesome!
I really wanted it
okay after more update, it works sometime with Google Play?
Wow this thing is really buggy...
Anyone have a custom ROM without these music problems??
Why not download PlayerPro. Does the same thing and imo is better and more customisable.
If you install the Harman Kardon mod, you must also install the firmware.
Just reflash the ROM and don't select that mod.
While listening to music on my op3, it randomly skips ahead songs, even in the middle. Usually it skips about 1-3 songs. This happening to anybody else?
I mostly use rocket player and sometimes google play music, happens in both.
Now that you mention it I think I have the same issue. I thought I had just a few bad downloaded mp3s. I will have to keep an eye now. FWIW...I am using rooted 3.2.2 stock and have viper4android installed.

I have that happen every once in a while in Google Play Music when I'm streaming music, I've chalked it up to the app/service vs. the phone since it's happened across various ROMs I've flashed. Not familiar with Rocket, so I can't weigh in on that.
Probably unrelated to your situation, but when I had this happen recently it was because I had the forward/back gestures turned on in the settings, and I was unknowningly drawing the gestures ( < and > )on the display when the screen was off, causing the skipping.

Song skipping
I have the same problem with song skipping and am currently using Pi music player but songs still skip using Google play music player. I have a one plus 3t which I purchased last month and am wondering what is the best fix for this problem? I have heard that it may be something to do with the Kernel so am wondering when will one plus release a fix for this?

Is there a way to disable Pixel Ambient Service , the song recognition thing, while connected to my car? Because it is loading the song history with all my songs that I listen in the car. I've tried with tasker but no luck.
Any ideas?

And where is the problem? Your music choose must be secret?
Well, lets put it this way. From Monday to Friday I listen in my car for about at least 40 minutes, that is like 13-14 songs, multiply that with 5 days and I get like 70 songs, that I own and know, If I go somewhere where my Pixel tracks the songs and I want to go to history to search for it, I have to look in the 70 songs (tracked in 5 days) that I already know. Since I got the pixel , I went to some places and find some great songs, but it is hard to find them in my already own collection. It will be nice to automatically disable this feature when connected to my car's stereo.
Are you playing music from your car stereo and not your phone to your stereo? I play music to my car through my Pixel and it typically doesn't find the songs it's playing on Now Playing because it knows its playing it.

I use a portable BT speaker at work, and Now Playing always lists the songs I'm playing. Maybe because I'm using Spotify and not playing music I have installed myself onto my phone? I don't know....

I think maybe Pandora as well, but I'm not sure. I'l check tomorrow. I'll also check with personally installed music.
What about Google Play Music? I'll try that too.
I just thought it showed for everything because I mainly use Spotify, but your post about it not showing has me intrigued now.
I have several music apps. I'll probably try with them all.
Lol i have super Mario ringtone and sometime it recognize that as well ??
