New to Samsung, long time Android Veteran.
I am not really digging the way Samsung sets default apps. They give no option to do "Just Once" or "Always" such as other Android versions. This stings in a lot of ways but I've mostly adjusted.
However the Email app always wants to use the stock Samsung "Sound Picker" app which will NOT play my Corporate Voicemail WAV files. I've done some research and purchased WAV Player from the Store. When I forward my email containing the voicemail WAV file to my GMail, it gave me an option to select the default app and IT WILL play it through the WAV Player perfectly. But I cannot get it to work on the Stock Samsung Email app. It never gives me an option to choose an where I want to play the audio file. I've tried clearing the Defaults for Email, Sound Picker, WAV Player, etc. but same issue.
Anyone know a way to play the Voicemail WAV files from the Email app directly (I can save the attachment and play that way but I get lots of voicemails and it becomes tedious)?

My work voice mail system sends attachments as .mp3 files. At some point, my stock N1 gmail app stop recognizing the built in music player app as the default for these files. I'm only presented with QQPlayer and Rockplayer Lite, neither of which can play .mp3 attachments.
If I browse to an mp3 on my SD card via Astro, it will be played by the stock Music app.
I'm not wedded to the stock app, but just want to be able to click on the preview in gmail and listen to the voice mail.
I can't seem to find how to add apps to the "Complete Action Using" dialog. BTW, my device NOT rooted.
I've got my AHD bluetoothing it to my Subaru Impreza's stereo, which has a small LCD panel to display stuff like Title, Song, Artist, etc. Well, for a while now when I have the stereo on Bluetooth Audio mode, all I get from the phone is "Facebook / Facebook Notifications / Facebook pop", unless I'm using the Google Play app, which I rarely do. It's really annoying, I'm sick of seeing that! I don't even use frickin' Facebook that much, maybe once a week. I guess I could uninstall the app, but using the web mobile site sucks.
I do use Bluetooth Audio for my podcast player and audiobook player.
How do I get that message to go away?
HELP?
facebook pop is the name of the notification sound of the facebook app.
you can find it in some trivial place like sdcard/notifications.
if you dont want android to see it, you can create a blank file named .nomedia it will flag the folder as hidden for any media players.

Cool, I'll have to give that a try!
I tried .nomedia, but it hides it from phone completely, so I converted my tones from .mp3 to .ogg and player still sees them. I know I can move tones to system\media\... but I don't want to because I need these to be separated. I don't understand why player reads these tones because they're in the same folder as Hangouts tones that it doesn't read, so does anyone know why Hangouts tones are invisible to the player, but those that I insert aren't?
In the stock music player you have a option in settings to don't show music files with less duration , you can choose hide media files between 0 and 120 seconds. Just open the music player, and in the bottom , on the right side tap settings icon and then something like filter I don't remember exactly . Good luck

Thanks. I saw that actually, but too bad I'm not using stock music player. It's frustrating, because of those Hangouts sounds, other players don't read those, just like stock. I was hoping someone knows some magic trick for that.
When I stream an audio file on my Note 5, it plays in the Google Play Music app that came with the phone. If I click off of the app as it plays the file, the audio stops playing altogether and the app basically closes. I have to restart the stream and then find the point that it stopped to resume. So, I cannot do anything on the phone with the audio playing the background it seems. I believe this happens if I play a video via the stock video player app as well. Is there a way where I can play such files in the background while I surf the 'net or do other tasks on my phone? Is there an app that might accomplish this on Android??? TIA.

How do I do this? When I click on any audio file on the Note 5, it only gives me the option of playing it (streaming it) with the Google Play Music app or downloading it. If I download it, I can still only open it and play it with the Google Play Music app. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Go to Settings > Application manager > More > More > Reset Apps preference > check ok. Now you can choose to play files over gplay music, stock music player ot 3rh party apps

Great! I did that and it does now give me the option of playing via Google Play Music app or the stock music player. However, I still cannot do anything else on the phone without the audio file pausing and/or stopping the playing of the audio file. For example, I just downloaded a podcast file onto my phone, opened it and told it to play it with the stock music player app. It will sit there and play the entire hour-long podcast just fine. But, if I need to go check a text message I received or look at something on the Internet, the stock music player stops playing the audio file (pauses playback of it) until I finish checking the text message or complete the Internet task and go back to the stock music player and click on the "play" button. I would prefer that it keeps playing the audio file when I minimize it to go check text messages or e-mails or do something on the Internet. Or is there maybe a 3rd party app that will do this??? Thanks for your help!

It appears that you use "my files" to play your music..you have been using the pop up music player and thus it will stop when you exit. Try to play music via the music app, search your music in the app itself and not from your downloaded files. Once you are in the stock music app,go to tracks and all your downloaded music will appear

Don't ask me why I didn't think of trying this before, but I didn't. I just opened the stock music player and went to tracks (just ask you described), the podcast files were there. I clicked on the one I was listening to last night and proceeded to check my text messages and e-mail and the audio kept playing in the background. Thanks for mentioning this! Really appreciate it! :good: :good: :good:
Hi,
I've been having some issues with my Google home mini, routines and Spotify playlists. I will share them here hoping someone knows how to resolve them or to tell me where should I post these bugs for the Google developers team to solve them. I could not find a direct way to reach them and I'm a heavy user so I think I could collaborate.
Issue 1: more than two commands not working
You once could create a Routine that went something like "play my x playlist in shuffle mode on my x speaker" in one command line. It did work but now the shuffle mode won't be read so the playlist will play in order.
Work around: set all speakers in a group, set that group as the predetermined speaker on Google home app, create a routine that sets specific volumes to each speaker in the group (so if you want only speaker 1 to play you set all other speakers in 0% volume), and only state "play playlist x on shuffle mode".
Issue 2: Playlist and their names not updating
If I create now a new playlist on Spotify (I have a premium account and set Spotify as the predetermined music player on Google home app) and say directly or create a routine saying "ok Google play my "new" playlist" it won't work.
The same issue happens when you rename an existing playlist. It won't find it.
At first I thought it was a cache problem, so I deleted the cache in the home app and once it did work but not it does not.
No work around for this other than don't rename you playlists but its ridiculous.
Do you know where the home mini saves its cache? Other than goggle home app?
Thanks!
Not sure if you have found ways to resolve your issues, however I've found some things concerning the playlist not being seen.
When I create any new playlists in Spotify, I've found they are default set to "private" and not "public". They used to be set to public as the default.
Once I go in and change them, I've been able to play new lists with little issue (besides names being recognized).
