having gravitated over from using Miui on my XT720, I now have an Atrix. Only problem I am having is finding a music player that I can shake to change a track when the screen is off (say if I am driving for e.g).
My Miui player used to do it on old phone but sadly, once the screen goes off, it doesn't work on the Atrix.
Any help would be appreciated.
music player pro has this option, i believe, but it's a paid app. The miui player worked for me, but only when there was no security lock. Alternatively, you might try shake 2 play next on the market.

thanks for the quick reply... I have just tried player pro... same result maybe it's a setting in the atrix I have missed?
anyone able to help?
turn off any pattern, fingerprint, or pin lock you have, and this will work.
If you install cm7 you can use the volume rocker to change songs and volume. Just set it up on settings

Whenever I choose what the equilizer should be, this setting is always reverted to no equilizer next time the app is started. Is there any way to set e default equilizer when having earphones at least?

I don't think so at the moment; it's really annoying, I have the bass booster turned on with headphones and every time I go to the home screen and then back to the app, the sound reverts to no effects.
Not impressed with the music player, it really is not that user-friendly.
You guys should try PowerAmp
Weird, mine seems to retain it's settings.
Bass booster is the preset I use, but I have to choose it every single time

Very annoying with this equalizer preset issue. Even if I pause/play the music from the handsfree, the equalizer is reset to none.
About PowerAmp - it really looks like a very good player, but I can't buy it When I click on buy now, I get an error message from Market, that the resource is not available. And now I have poweramp trial. No idea how many days it will work, and also what is the cost of the player itself.
I have no idea on how to set the equalizer to e default value of "bass boost" for example
Is there anyone who have bought this PowerAmp? Is the trial working for 20 days only?

You have the QR codes here for PowerAmp, both latest version and the unlocker wich is priced $4.99
powerampapp.com
Does PowerAmp have support for playlists ?
It does not work. The same as from the app - the requested item could not be found. That happens both from the app and from the barcode scanner from powerampapp.com - QR Code (unlocker).

Sorry for the late reply, I just paid through The Market as normal.
I use my tablet at work to play music etc via the Honeycomb Music app. Its nice and simple to use but I absolutely hate the fact that there are no lock screen controls for the Music app.
I dunno, it just seems silly that in order for me it change to the next track, I have to turn on the tablet, unlock the tablet, then change the track...
Of course I've Google this issue but no one has an answer... no ones even said anything. Am I really the only person who actually likes tthe honeycomb music player, but needs the lock screen controls?
Does the lock screen have some kind of API that would allow development to create a widget of some sort that can control the music app?
Most of the players on the market have that option.
I use Power Amp because it has a phenomenal equalizer.
Use Winamp...it has d lock screen controls n its one f d best!! N moreover its free!

Hi all
Anyone here using Google Play Music?
Coming from a GN, I got used to the pure android stuff, Google Play Music being one of them.
I listen to music streaming from Google Music in my car on my phone (connected via 3.5 jack to my aux) almost every day, with the GN when I wanted to skip a song\pause\play I would've simply turn on the screen and use the lock-screen Google music thingie that popped there every time Google Play Music was running, but now it doesn't seem to be implemented into the s4, so I need to swipe down the status bar (considering I'm not using some kind of security lockscreen) and find the next\pause\play buttons among all the accidentally clickable stuff there... OR unlock the phone and use the Play Music app itself.
Now I'm not ranting about one more or less button to press here, really, it's just that while I'm driving every millionth of a second that my eyes are on the road counts, so I liked it the way it used to be, where I didn't even need to look at the screen..
Long story I know..
Anyway, any simple solution? or would I'll just have to get used to it?
p.s - not planning on moving to the stock music player as all of my music is in the Google Music cloud and I really like it that way.
Got the same issue. Sometimes it'll work fine, sometimes nothing on lock screen. Generally I find Google Play Music pretty damn annoying and horrible. Would love a solution as well.
Holy mother of all tits IT WORKS.. I just played a song and the damn thing is there in the lock screen looking at me..
Yep, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... Would love to understand why.
Does anyone know a solution for this? Perhaps another recommended music player?

Worked for me too!
ok, so i recently just got my new moto x and its perfect besides these 2 problems im having with the quick capture feature and playing music from touchless control.
The first is playing music i would tell google now to play a song e.x" ok google now. play tunnel vision" it would pull the command up and tell me" playing tunnel vision by JT" then it loads it to google play music app but instead of playing the song it just does a search in the app and not play it. its really a hit or miss with this feature as i got it to work for about 10mins but then the problem reemerged. Through some searching i found that the touchless control problem is a bug apparently. any verifcation on this would help alot.
the other problem is with the quick capture feature in the phone. ive practiced the motion many times with flicking your wrist and have gotten it to do it multiple consecutive times but i can only do this if ive previously manually opened the camera app. e.x the gesture wont work at all if i havent previously opened the app no matter how many times i twist the device but when i either open the camera unlocked or from the lock screen the quick capture starts to work perfectly everytime time i twist. is anyone else having these problems or does anyone have solutions?
I can't get the music to start right either. The first time I tried it asked which app to use. I selected PowerAmp. Now it starts PowerAmp but doesn't start the song.
As for the camera, I hold the phone in my hand and then make a quick movement like I'm trying to flick a booger off my finger and it works everytime. : )
I've heard others mention that with playing the music, you have to select whether you want to use Google Play. I've never used the feature because I do all my music through Pandora, but you may need to select Google Play Store or Google Play Music app to play stuff on your device.
As for the camera motion, I was confused about it at first for quite a while. I was "twisting" the device by holding it vertically in portriat mode and rotating my wrist left or right (turing the phone clockwise or counterclockwise while still keeping it vertical).
Once I figured out that you flick it side to side (turn the device to face left/right quickly) instead of rotating, it works every time.
About the TC problem I've already selected Google play music to play the songs but it doesn't play the songs just uses the search in the music player. Its weird cuz it worked for a while but then just stopped
And I'll try motion u suggested hope it works and thanks

Could also try going to the Google Search or Google Play Music app settings and click the "clear defaults" button.
The motion you told me does seem to work better now thanks!
Clearing defaults isn't available for me to press saying I don't have any set

First of all I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read/respond to my post. I have an unrooted Note 3.
My issue is when I use my jaybird bluebuds x or monster isport freedom bluetooth headsets with my Note 3 the next track buttons do not work. Well.. let me rephrase that. When I hit the next track button is launches the samsung music app and skips that track.
So the button is being registered but it's not working for the active player. Like if I'm listening to pandora and hit next track then the samsung music app launches and skips that track instead.
Is there any way to force (using tasker or something without rooting) the phone/headset to recognize the current active music player instead of the default samsung player?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
It's more likely the app doesn't recognize headset controls.
I've never had stock music player pop up when using the controls with N7player. But it has a menu for headset controls...

Disable the Samsung player in Settings and try? I usually always keep the default apps all disabled and use PowerAMP for my music, never fails me when I use my BlueBuds X.

How do I disable the samsung player in settings? Are you referring to settings for bluebuds bluetooth, cuz I didn't know you could specify specific aps.
I prefer to stream my music so I don't have to organize my music. That's why I use pandora/slacker and not PowerAMP. Thanks though.

Your phone settings. Manage Apps, All, find your music player, click on it, Disable.
