[Q] How to keep music streaming over BT while using camera? - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I prevent the camera application from interrupting music playback? I can't record videos while continuing to stream audio over AUX or BT.

Using camera while streaming music will work for taking photos, BUT to record videos, they assume you want to record sound with your video, so that's why the streaming stops. You can always play music from an external source when making your music videos.

I know I can play from an external source but that would defeat the point of keeping everything on my phone- Lets say I'm having a small party and I'm streaming music from my phone over BT and then decided I want record a video, obviously I'm not going to want the music turning off for the whole party because I decided to record a video. Or another example, my little nieces & nephews were over this past weekend and were dancing to music I was playing from my phone over BT and since I have a Note 4 & always is the best camera in the room for recording videos, I'm asked to record with my phone. If they are dancing to music playing over my phone and then I record a video of them & its turns off the music, which I also want in the video, then it makes the video pointless.
I would find it extremely strange if there isn't a 3rd party app to allow this, a setting to adjust, a work-around or a Wanam xposed option to allow this.
I can't be the ONLY one with this issue lol

i guess no one else has tried to record a video while using their phone as a music player. we must be the crazy ones -_- ...seeing as that no one else was going to be of any help, had to resolve this one myself. i remember i used poweramp exclusively back in the day on my cyanogenmod g2 because compared to the stock music player it had a better interface, a ton more feautures & settings, better eq, better file mgmt, better interface & music actually played better through this app (with eq mods). I stopped using it when i got the first galaxy s as it had a bug like many things had a bug on that phone.
i just download the latest Version of Poweramp & I am blown away- it has come a long way and in my few minutes using it, I already love it again and will be using it as my primary music player. And it fixed my problem, I'm able to taking pictures & videos now without interrupting music playback. (setting for it)

any updates on this?
I to have the same issue where my kids are dancing to music I'm streaming and would love to video them doing they're crazy moves to the music.

Best bet is have the dev who rom you are using mod the camera ? apk and you are good. Every rom is different. Also someone did this already you just gotta look.

[Q] Screen flickers while playing videos

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance i9070. Off late if I try playing videos one after the other the screen starts to flicker. The first video plays fine, flickering starts when i play the second video, then I have to bring up Task Manager and clear the memory. This happens only while playing videos, I tried the VLC player also but result is the same. 90% of system resources are free so it can’t be a lack of system resources that’s causing this. Is it a hardware issue, I re installed the stock ROM but even then same result.
I have this problem too but it seldom happens.

In my case ti happens every time I play a video, no exceptions.
Which player are you using to view the videos?
People say I'm crazy, but the voices in my head say I'm just fine.

Video recorded with Smooth Motion playback is distorted.

Hey everyone.
I have the Bell (Canadian) note 3 and I just tried the smooth motion video recording. Very neat, but the playback is very garbled and distorted. When I play it on my PC it's fine.. Could this be a flaw in the phone that could cause issues?
Anyone else have or hear about this?

I resolved it. Turns out another video playback app was set as default and it cannot handle the video. Only stock samsung app is able.
Works great now.
Video playback on android is where video playback on PC was a decade and change ago: A maze of incompatible codecs and video playback tools, and nowhere is there any decent explanation of how the whole mess is supposed to work together or why it sucks so much.
It was just as bad on PCs before. I remember having to have like half a dozen different video players, because each one could handle some - but not all - video formats. And you couldn't rely on file associations either (as is the case on android today), because all the video formats that we talk about are just "containers", which can contain video data encoded with any of a number of different codecs. So you can't say "Play the .mp4's with this player, the .wmv's with the other player" - but that's the level that file associations work on.
Suffice to say, my experience with making my existing video library play on android has been very frustrating, and there are still numerous videos that play fine on windows which I haven't been able to play on android. Naturally, just like on windows in the dark ages, none of the players provide useful feedback on what went wrong - a failure results in black screens, or no sound, or a force close, or occasionally a useless error. God forbid they say something like "the required codec ______ is not available", so I'd know what I needed to look for. Is there a reason for this? Who knows?!
It probably doesn't help that google has a financial interest in it being difficult to play video from sources other than their Google Play Movies store and Youtube.

[Help] Audio out of sync with recorded video when playing on computer

Hey all,
I am using a Droid Turbo XT1254 Android 5.1 with kernel 3.10.40;
I recorded an HD(720p) video of a buddies proposal and I would like to edit it for him as it looks really great!
The problem is when I export the video out and plug it into video editing software on my computer, the audio loses sync with the video and is near impossible to fix. Has anyone else had this issue and is there any known work around?
I'm very worried that this video was all for not.
Thank you!

Does the audio become more increasingly out of sync (2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds) or is it consistently a set amount (like 1 second) the entire clip?
Have you only tried to play it on one piece of software? Drag the video to your desktop, click on it and play it with WMP, VLC, Media Player Classic, etc. When you play it normally in Windows Media Player, VLC or any of the other free dozens of media players, does it play OK? If so, then your video editing software is to blame. It's not a "phone" issue, it's your video editing software.
If it's out of sync even when playing it with a computer program video player -- not your video editing software but WMP, VLC, Media Player Classic, etc -- there's still ways to fix it.
1) If it's any good, your video editing software will have audio sync options. That's a standard task in editing video, to fix audio lag called "lip sync" issue.
2) you can always re-edit the audio -- just like you would with a piece of music you might want to start at a certain point. (if it's consistent in the amount it's out of sync). You would just edit the audio track to be offset by the amount of time you wish.
3) try another video editing software.

Thanks for your response!
The audio becomes increasingly out of sync as the video goes on. I was using adobe premiere pro as well, I did try to re-edit the audio back in to sync up with the video, however because the rate of change is increasing throughout the video, it is near impossible to line things up correctly.
I will try another video editing software tonight, do you have any suggestions? I just need to have the video playing with a smaller video playing(Picture in picture style).
Is this a known problem or have you never experienced this?
Thanks!
I was hoping it was a simple, constant value for the delay.
I was also hoping it could be repeated using any video player ( which would mean the problem was actually with the file, not the editing software). In which case I was going to suggest something like this:
http://www.hecticgeek.com/2013/02/fix-audio-video-sync-save-permanently-avidemux/
You still haven't said whether it plays fine in other video players (not editing software, just players).
But the increasing variability of the time worries me.
To give you an analogy, when I add subtitles file to a TV show or movie, if one is PAL (25 frames per second) and the other is NTSC (29.97 frames per second), then the subtitles will be increasingly out of sync the further into the file as it plays.
I have software that will let me do a "visual sync", but that doesn't work if the rates are not the same.
That's just an analogy, because your audio/video shouldn't be on two different standards like that.
So, I'm curious, when you play it with VLC (free) or Classic Video Player (part of the K-LITE Mega Codec Package (free), is the video/audio out of sync?
If it plays fine in another video player, then there's just some messed up setting in your Adobe editor.

[Q] Samsung Video player vs MX player Pro

I guess most of us know MX player is consider to be 1 of the best video player out there. S,o I just wondering how it fare against Samsung player that came with the phone? Let's just assume we are only watching video.
ps I've read certain users say its 'video quality is a little sharper vs MX player.
I have several issues with soubd codec with mx.... never had one on samsung built in.... but i use only vlc player. Much lighter and yet i have to find a file that it doesnt play...mx is too heavy for my liking

Sound issues, how in a way? Well, I don't wanna install additional app when the Samsung built-in player functions are enough for me like sliding up/down/left/right for brightness/volume/backwards/forward, etc. Just perhaps the quality i was asking in my thread.
MX player is the best 4 me, at least on all other phones before Note8... great functions like playing in the background and when screen is off....
Well, i did make a thread and asked on two different one, but, cuz this thread is about MX Player, ill ask here too, and if it isnt appropriate, just tell me or move it...
Mine quote:
After update to latest firmware on N950F ds, Android Security Patch 1 November 2017 music stopped in the background randomly on MX Player. Checked all solutions i can remember-deleted third party players, turned off sync, gestures, etc, even tried MX Player 3 different versions including two Pro and 3 Free ones, same things happens(thought that it is up to MX, but it is not, on S7 that is not problem)... Sometimes music paused by it self for about 15 mins of playing, sometimes on 35.26... but it is paused and when i get back in Player it continue to play like nothing happens... Anyone else with that kind of challenge or with solution to this?? Here is on attachment system - software info:

[DISCUSSION] - Which music streaming service are you using ?

There are a lot of great music streaming services out there. Let me know which one(s) are you using with your personal notes so that I can decide which platform I should switch to.
I am a long time Spotify Premium user, who utilized Spotify connect religiously. But as we all know Spotify doesn't really put in a lot of effort on their Android app. So recently I have been having issues with playback (crashes in the background) and as Spotify is only making their app worse with every update on Android, I thought it is time to switch to another platform/go offline. What are your thoughts and experiences with the current music streaming services?
YouTube Music is very good app.
I have YouTube premium so I use Youtube Music and Google Play Music.
I use YouTube and Spotify - the best apps for me.
spotify ofc
I use Spotify. JRE podcast is moving to Spotify so that's a plus.
YouTube
YouTube
Made good use of my .5tb SD card and a 220 gb CD/HDCD collection that's ripped to hdds as wav files.
Over 6000 songs means I don't get bored of the music just listening at times.
Poweramp does an excellent job of managing playlists and playback. It's graphic equalizer that allows unlimited saved presets to be saved by song/album/playlist plus settings/playlist backup makes it a complete and unparalleled Android player solution.
The online sources don't cover a lot of what I want and are a pain to use. Worse I can't dial the sound in and/or saved multiple EQ presets.
I use Spotify to listen to my music
i just have all of my favorite songs on a youtube playlist. saves me money.
I dont let anyone choose music for me, never. So no need for any stream online platform. My music is with me on my SD card 128GB. more than enough!
I will never depend on the internet to access music...
I am a Spotify user but can you tell what's the difference in this??????
