I've been S beaming music files from the stock music player on my S3 for a while now and it was quite a reason for me to stick with touchwiz. Now after upgrading to the S4, I see that it isn't possible to s beam music. When the two phones (i tried S4 to S4) touch on the music file playing, the phones vibrate but nothing happens after that.
It's not a problem really, Wifi Direct can handle that, but it's handy to have S beam to send music. Any thoughts why Samsung might disable this? Or is it a glitch which will be fixed in the future?

There's a few threads on this already, but I think the general consensus is that it has to do with copyright problems. Putting a (Q)uestion in the Q & A section would probably get you better results in the future.

Hi,
Had my HD for just under a week now and I must admit I wasn't overly impressed with it at first. Quite slow in general and video playback wasn't great...decided to hard reset it and start from scratch...before I did anything I followed the performance increase tutorial on here and now I'm happy as larry with the HD - it's exactly what I hoped it would be even the keyboard is good on the screen in landscape mode.
However there is still one problem that I can't resolve or find a lot of information about...it's the music tab in the touch flo....yes I know there's a lot of posts about album art etc - but none seem to mention AudioManager_eng.exe crashing when you try to use it...other people have mentioned this on other forums but no-one seems to know what's going on...does anyone know what causes this...??
Thanks,
Dan

You might wanna track this thread and see what goes on here. Unfortunately no solid resolution as of now.

I saw that very early on when I started putting music on my HD.
By a process of elimination, I isolated it to a "rogue" music track, (or else my HD simply disapproves of Blondie ).
I suspect that although the music file in question played back fine on the PC, there was something about it that thoroughly confused audio manager to the point of crashing. I imagine that the meta tags are the most likely culprit, but never got round to conclusively proving that. When I removed the album in question and soft reset, the problems went away.
Note that you seem to need to soft reset the 'HD to make it rebuild the music indexes.

The most likely cause still remains an unsupported file. Wonder why though
Hey thanks for the replies!
Well I bit the bullet yesterday....got myself a few bottles of beer lined up and went through all the music I had one the HD. I firstly set my PC to show protected operating system files and begun checking everything. On my HD I am using the folder structure Storage Card --> My Documents --> My Music --> Album Name.
In all of the album folders I left only the mp3's and the album art image which i renamed to folder.jpg. I went back to the Music tab and the same crash occurred. So I turned off touch flow...deleted AudioManager_eng.vol then fired up touch flo again...this recreates the AudioManager_eng.vol but the crash still occurred.
I then removed all music and started to copy the albums on one by one...started with Foo Fighters and happy days it worked! So I continued on with the others until I got to Nirvana - Nevermind....anyway the tags on the mp3 for track number were 1 - 2 - 3 - 4/13 - 5/13 - 6/13...etc. Set all the tags to just the single track number and hey presto everything works fine...I can just dump music into the storage card following the same structure, hit the music tab and there it is ready to play!! I now officially love this device! lol Sorry for the long winded explanation! Thanks again for your replies!
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I couldn't figure out the right search terms to find it, so I'm posting a new thread.
No doubt many (if not all) of us have noticed that the audio subsytem is (conceptually) not multi-task -- i.e. it seems only able to play one sound channel at a time. There's no multichannel mixing. So, when listening to music, watching a video, etc., and an email, message, etc. come in, or anything else that triggers a sound notification, the media audio mutes while the notification plays, then the media audio unmutes.
This is highly annoying, and frankly very amateurish of Google. It's not like the functionality in question here is difficult and/or complex, and there's plenty of public domain code to make it work. Just laziness it seems to me.
Anyway, anybody know of a mod/fix, or that this will be fixed in Froyo? It's really bugging me.
I'm on the Syndicate ROM. Could be the ROM, but I seem to remember this problem when I was running stock too.

This may be a Honeycomb 3.0 (after Gingerbread 2.3) feature because I could see tablets needing to play more than one sound source at a time. And while we may eventually get a Gingerbread port. I doubt we will see Honeycomb.
My Tab suffers from low volume & mediocre audio from the speaker specially when watching certain movies. Ive been looking for an app to control audio volume and EQ and found an app called DSP Manager (current version 2.2).
It features a beautiful interface, installs without a problem but doesnt seem to have any effect when applying EQs... the sound is always the same. HAs anyone else succesfully installed this app on a galaxy Tab and make it work? Id love to be able to use it on my Tab.
On a side note, are there other similar apps that do the same job volume/EQ that work on the Tab?
Thanks in advance for the input!
I think in order for dsp manager to work u need to modify the libaudio.so files, maybe u can extract those files from the cyanogenmod release and push them on your device but best wait for a dev to look at this or post a request in the development section
Swyped from my sexy galaxy tab
Yeah, best wait for a dev to look at this thread or maybe get a request in the development section... extracting those files from the cyanogenmod release and push them on my Tab is all too intense for me... I just dont know how to do it and would not dare venture...
Hello Guys
as most of you know that there some cocky issue going on with the audio
the report
Code:
I notice this bug which has been left unfixed for a very long time when you get a notification regard sms or messaging it seems to somehow cut of the music you are listening to
I will explain in detail on how this bug works
ICS/JB Users
when someone is listening a song from a music player and he/she is chating with someone on facebook messenger each time the other party sents an message the phones vibrates and the song gets stop or either gets play through the speaker when the headset is still intact..
or
when someone is listening a song from a music player when message is received aka SMS or Notification it stops the music and play backs
I have alerted the facebook developers about this but it seems more like on your side and users suggested Android Open Source Developers call Cyanogenmod are suffering from this same issue
Bugs Seems to effect
+ Notification Received (SMS)
+ Facebook Messenger
Phone
+ Samsung Galaxy SII International Version
p.s edited : HTC phones seems to be having the same issue expect Motorola Phones can anyone of the samsung developers confirm this or either please flag this as a Bug..
unsure about others regrading this bug... might be due to Yamaha chip samsung is using.
Regards
Zain
as referred from samsung developers the bug has link up to Google Android Development
would like you all to flag this to be looked at : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40379
development forum of samsung : http://developer.samsung.com/forum/...Name=GeneralB&messageId=208582&startId=zzzzz~
Im now awaiting the reply from the google android team on this issue, hopefully this issues gets fixed once and for all as I know the cyanogenmod team are cracking their head far too long on this
Regards

Couldn't find this anywhere else on xda. There's one or two unanswered threads in other forums about the same issue.
Within whatsapp in seems (for me anyway) you cannot send a slow motion video correctly with the Galaxy s4. In my case, normal speed videos work fine (and the trimming and smaller file size feature before you send is excellent) but when you try to send a slow motion video, the recipient gets a solid green screen video with the audio intact.
I wonder is there any work around for this. Probably not on our end.
