I've JUST got this phone and I'm having problems with the playback of downloaded videos. Either the sound is there and there's no playback or there's playback but no sound .... do i need to convert the file before download and if so what's the best download site to use?? I've tried quite a few sites with no luck at all .... just the same problem over and over. Also, is it possible to have an MP3 as an alarm/message tone? I've searched the phone and cant see the option anywhere and the booklet/leaflet that comes with it Isn't really much use, I've had to download the full instruction book to get my head around it, lol.

Good morning. Allow me to suggest that you edit the title for a phrase more telling. Thanks.

Video files must be mp4, wmv or 3gp but you can pay for yxflash or download wuzhenhua player i think to allow you to play avi's etc. The current version of rockplayer doesn't work with this device.
As for MP3 alarms, create a folder on your sd root called media and in that a folder called audio and finally a folder in audio called alarms. This is were you place your mp3's and they will appear in the alarm settings.
So the folder order from the sd card root is media>audio>alarms>yourmp3here.mp3
If you already have music on your device you can use astrofilemanager from the app store to create the folders without having to plug your phone to the pc

Epic Music Player

Where can I find the apk for Samsung's Epic stock Music player?

If you want the stock music player with a lot of cool tweaks (ie fullscreen, see-through background, gesture controls), download MusicMod from the market. Similar to but much better than stock.

thanks I'll try it but I would rather have stock music player if you have it.

I'm a fan of DoubleTwist.

Which exactly are you going for?
Sound Player or Music Player....
2.1 came with Sound Player
2.2 comes with both Sound Player and Music Player
The Music Player is the one with the 5.1ch option and Equilizer, but apparently cant play ogg :/

The fascinate music player was playing oggs just fine, it doesn't keep the tags though (So no album art), so i just converted em to high quality mp3s and got over it.

because you would first have to uninstall the music player you have when doing it locally. try using adb.

what is adb?

I found a Galaxy S system dump here. It's about 80 MB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8022126&postcount=13

Android

Lets you connect to your phone with a computer. And to install the stock music player you need to push it to your /system/app folder and reboot. /system must be mounted rw before you can do that though...

Bingo. However you should check out winamp. It was just released for android recently. Much better than any other music player I've used.

No, I tested. Play Music won't run it. I used MX Player.

WMP; flac
Guys, I was used to synchronize my audio library from WMP to my Android device. There are both MP3s and FLACs in the library. Since I have Nexus 4, WMP doesn't sync flac to Nexus, it writes "the player might not support the file".
I haven't found any option how to make WMP to do it. PlayerPro in Nexus plays flac without any problem. is there any setting in the devices? Or am I missing some application? The truth is, when I click on flac file in Astra file manager, it writes "Activity not found"...
One more thing. Even when I try to simly copy flac file to Nexus in widows through My Computer, it writes me that the device doesn't support that type of media...

No.

EDIT:
I was wrong about this. Android does support FLAC natively since 3.0
Not natively, for whatever reason.
Meaning it must be implemented by a third party and some paid music players have gone that extra step.
Simpler (free) music players tend to play whatever file formats are available by the Android OS.
The default Google player and Apollo do NOT support FLAC.
Your question should be "which music players do support FLAC?"

I get the same message when I copy .mp3, or FLAC files directly to my device via a Windows box. Also, try Solid Explorer, it makes the other file managers look outdated.
I play FLAC all the time with Poweramp. If the Nexus 4 had OTG, I'd be using FLAC a lot more. However, what I normally do is download files to my phone with Dsub from my Subsonic server. I force Dsub to limit the bitrate to 320kbps, and Subsonic will automatically transcode FLAC to 320kbps. I highly recommend checking out Subsonic. It really helps you work around the small amount of space we're given in the Nexus 4. I can essentially carry my HUGE collection of music wherever I have an internet connection.

That's weird - I've been using the standard Play Music on my Nexus 4 to listen to FLAC files and it's been working fine. Unless I've misinterpreted what the OP is asking! Basically I just copy FLAC files to the Music folder, hit the 'Refresh' button in the Play Music settings and everything's okay.

Weird indeed. I couldn't play a FLAC file with Play Music as well but I've come across reports of people having no problems with it. I did test only one file and had the DRM service disabled. I was running stock 4.2.1 at the time.

Are you trying 16-bit or 24-bit FLAC files? I don't have any 24-bit ones to test so can't confirm that they work, but definitely haven't had any problems with literally hundreds of 16-bit FLAC files. Like yourself I'm also running stock 4.2.1 with no hacks/root etc. I haven't installed any other audio programs either. Prior to my Nexus 4 I was also able to successfully play FLAC natively on a Note 2 (running 4.1 I guess?) and HTC One X (probably running 4.0 but I can't remember now).

This is wrong, android has had native support for playing FLAC files since android 3.0, I remember playing FLAC files with play music just last month.

It is strange then that it doesn't work for some of us. I will investigate this further.

In your dream, only in the Android world. Ask Apple or Microsoft about their feeling about open standards.
For Honeycomb and newer, flac is supported on a system level. Flac is not supported by defauit for Gingerbread, but you can install certain music that have Flac codec.

[Q] Can't find my media on MXPE.

This is my first smartphone so yeah I'm an Android noob. I spent an hour on Google searching how to properly transfer media to Android devices and tried different things but to no use.
I have the 32GB model and it's unrooted/stock with no sim card installed yet. I just wanted to try some videos, music, and pictures to get a feel for the screen and speakers. My micro USB cord is fine and when it's plugged in the PC I can see the media is in the MXPE's folders and taking up space. I turn the phone on and off and try putting them in different folders but no matter I can't find it. I removed a file called .nomedia but that didn't help. It appears the phone is keeping them hidden from me. I tried transfer through both MTP and PTP but no go.
This is surely a simple problem so please help this bonehead out. Thank you. :silly:

So I put the photos, videos, and music in the "Pictures" folder using PTP mode and they work fine now. From stock Android, FLAC and many video formats don't work. Wav and MP4 work fine so I had to convert some of my video files to use them. When I get online I'll download more programs for different formats. I'll leave this here in-case anyone has a similar problem or anything to add.

Any apps that play g6 flac files?

Recorded a couple of my friends songs at his concert and would like to send it to him but can't find an Android app that will work on his non LG G6 and play the files. Is there anything on the market that will play the flak LG G6 audio files?

Doesn't seem to be finding those HD recorded files any tips? If I just click on the file in my file explorer app it doesn't give me the option to use power amp to open it.

As a last resort, if you can't find anything else that works, you can convert the flac files to mp3 using Lame with "--preset insane". Still technically lossy, but probably past the capability of the G6's DAC to distinguish.

Vlc media player for android is the best of all that I have used.

Since Android 4.0+ flaxc support part of the system..
