Essential phone Cannot set default apps. - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Essential phone> On selecting an audio track it immediately launches with default audio player. Selecting 'open with' does give you the option of choosing a different player BUT only for that instance you cannot set it as default. Questions, how can I select an audio player permanently and how can I disable 'default audio player'?

Try to disable and deactivate the stock music player app through the app list..maybe it will play the tracks with the other music app by default..

Default app for Headphone Control/Remote

Are there any setting or apps available that will default the buttons on the headphone remote to a specific application?
I keep having an issue where the "Listen" podcasting application takes over from the default music application meaning I need to revert to using the on screen controls. Killing the "Listen" app has no effect as clicking play again just restarts the app. This effect kicks in seemingly randomly while listening to music.
Try going to settings->applications->manage applications and tap on the Listen app and clear defaults

Ringtone

Hey, jsut need to ask how can I set a file (.mp3) from my music folder as my ringtone?
Go to that music file, long press it. There will be an option to set it as ringtone.

Well..tried that, I only have Share, Delete, Move, Copy, Rename and Info.
Put the ringtones in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones and reboot
Similarly for /sdcard/media/audio/alarms and /sdcard/media/audio/notifications.
You can then choose it normally from the list of tones.

Ok, got it that works, thanks. Is there any other way without having to have the file in ringtones folder?

Ok here that another way you are asking--->
Let you music file be any where on your device or the external SD card, it doesn't matter. Simply locate your file and touch to PLAY it (using the defalut sound player). Now press teh MENUE button and it will ask you to SET AS. Now select PHONE RINGTONE and you get this music file as your ringtone.
Of course alternatively, you can straightway start the desired music file in your default music player and press menu button and select SET AS and follow next step as mentoined above.
I hope this helps you... and if yes.. pls. click the THANKS BUTTON

Or download Rings Extended https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angryredplanet.android.rings_extended this is not an app but allows you to choose music directly from your sound settings.

Beats Audio and Music Effects menu

I just installed Beats Audio on my rooted S4 but I dont have the "music effects" menu within Settings > My Device > Sound. How do I get that menu and make sure that Beats is activated?
Thanks,

No music player on notification bar pulldown and lock screen?

As the title says, I'm having this issue where when I play music from an application, I expect the player to pop up both on the notification dropdown and lock screen, but they appear on neither. This happens on both Google Play and PowerAmp, so I can imagine that other apps would have this issue. I traded in my other S7 Edge, as it had another audio-related issue, and I know it had this feature, but this new one does not. Is there any way I can enable it? It's a pain having to go back into the app every time just to pause it, as I like to close my apps when I'm done with them. The music still persists even after I close the app itself. I've also tried restarting. Any ideas?
All feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks!

I would think that it works with nearly everyone else. I was asking why it wouldn't work for myself.
I had the same issue. Look at your notifications, when I turned it on for music player, it now shows up.
It only works with the Samsung music app. Other apps will play music but no pulldown. So u can play music but if you leave the app u will need to make a couple clicks to skip or pause a track. Sucks.
They're basically forcing their app on u. Luckily for them it's not half bad
One year later, when now I just saw this post,,,,,, The same thing may seem to appear in the new Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro, that the music player with music being played does not show up in the Notification Panel & Lock Screen. However, thanks for csjg3525 above whose post about S7 inspired me to look into something similar in Galaxy C7 Pro. It works not only for the Samsung music app! There's a trick:
Open "Settings" > Choose "Notifications" > Select "Google Play Music" AND then also go to the "Advanced" button at the top right hand corner on the same page > Click into "Google Play Music" > Click to "Allow notifications" and then two more options appear to let you choose - I selected "Set as priority" & "Previews in pop-ups", then all I wanted did show finally.
When you see only the name of the song being played on the lock screen, don't be disappointed. You just double-click the song name and then the 3 symbols of backward, pause & forward (next song) will appear for your control.
Hope the above helps for Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro users.

No Audio setting

I found that there are no settings for Audio for music in One Plus 5.
Is there any way to do it?
Are you asking for a built in equalizer? If so, one exists in settings -> sound and vibrations -> audio tuner
