[Q] Audio Skips with Greenify - Greenify

I'm using Poweramp for music and when the screen is locked, after 3-5 mins., audio skips (using in ear headpones). After uninstalling Greenify, the problem is gone. But I want the main feature of Greenify to be used (which is Hibernation)( . What could be the problem and solution for this? Or is there an alternative app that can be used? Thanks.

The problem is that you have greenified Poweramp. If Deep Hibernation is enabled, disable it and check. If not, degreenify Poweramp.

^
Nope, I'm not greenifying it. (Did not add that on the first post, my mistake)

Same thing happens to me with Apollo on CM11 although it's not greenified and it does not skip it stops completely!

It's something related in Android OS, Poweramp and your sdcard behaviour, not because Greenify even you have enabled Deep Hibernation (maybe, since it's never happen to me)
I'm using Greenify + Deep Hibernation and Poweramp it's in my hibernate list.
Since I can't find any bug/problem in Android, Poweramp and Greenify, the only solution is in Poweramp itself.
Please try this, and report the result:
1. Open Poweramp
2. Go to Settings> Audio> Advanced Tweaks> Audio Buffer Size> Set to +750ms
3. After that, go to Audio Thread Priority> set to Highest
NB: for another Audio issue, how much you set your sdcard cache size ? Sometimes, more than 128 can made a audio hiccup too

All three audio channels to mute bug?

Hi,
Has anyone had the bug where suddenly, all three audio channels are muted (the three icons have the crossed bar across them). The whistle notification still plays, and FM radio still plays, oddly, but can't play podcasts nor the audio player.
Rebooting seems to be the only way to fix.
Any ideas?
I don't recall getting that bug before installing a Time telling app (EQ STime). Will uninstall to see if that's the culprit...
As you already have guessed, usually apps are the culprit and playing around with the volumes.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure that's the culprit. But is there a way to restart the sound system without rebooting the phone? (Everytime I reboot I've to turn off wifi mode in #0011 which is annoying.)
(Killing the buggy app does not reboot the sound system obviously)
The audio server should be fine, most likely audio is only muted across the board.
Install the app 'Audio Manager ' to set the different volumes.

I do wonder, since all three volumes can be adjusted when pressing volume button, but I can't make them unmuted.
As for an Audio Manager, have you one to recommend that works great on the S3? The first few results from the play store have pretty negative reviews...

[Q] Original MusicFX (Samsung) issue

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 16 GB with rooted XXELLA stock firmware, 32 GB SDCard. I use Spotify to listen to my music through a Soundwear SD10 bluetooth headset.
The built-in MusicFX (1.4) equalizer works fine and I can tell the difference in the sound quality for a couple of days, then, though the MusicFX app seems to be still running, the sound goes back flat (not equalized). When this happens, the On/Off button on the app makes no difference to the sound and the only thing I can do to fix the problem is to reboot the phone. Bear in mind that I may turn on/off bluetooth and headset several times during the 2 days period mentioned, and play/pause/resume songs in Spotify as many times.
In order to try to prevent a reboot I have tried to stop/restart, disable/enable, clear data, cache, etc. for MusicFX to no avail. The funny thing is that I have tried a few other equalizers (Equalizer, the "other" MusicFX app, etc.) and all of them suffer from the same issue: they stop providing equalization after 1 or 2 days. I have also tried Awesome Beats and the ported DSP Manager from Cyanogenmod but they just do not work on my S3. I have alerady reset my phone to factory defaults, cleared data/cache and this problem persists through the various firmware upgrades (I had XXELL5 originally)/factory resets, etc.
I use the Spotify widget and also the latest JKay Deluxe settings/framework, which helps me keeping Spotify in memory (otherwise the widget renders useless when I try to resume a playlist after a few hours). I cannot add MusicFX to the list of "protected apps" in JKay as it's not listed in the app drawer.
Has anybody come across a permanent solution for this or a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.
Never ever seen that problem .
Try replacing your Music FX APK

[Q] Annoying automatic play when bluetooth is connected

Whenever I connect my phone to the bluetooth of my car, Poweramp player starts playing some random audio files that it can find on the phone. And typically would not shut up until I explicitly turn it off. The same was happening with my old phone (Droid Incredible) although not sure if it was the same application or some other player.
Is such a behaviour application-specific or is there some global way to prevent any programs from starting up automatically when bluetooth is connected?
At first glance I do not see that in Poweramp settings such a behaviour is configured or that there is a way to disallow it.

There is an option under Poweramp settings for "Resume on Headset Connect" and "Resume on BT A2DP Connect". Both under the headset menu in settings. Have you checked those to see if one might be causing it?

Both options are unchecked and if I read correctly they should be unchecked if I do not want automatic play.
I'll try to check them and see if it helps.
Google music does the same thing every time that I get in my car, it is very annoying...

That's why I think there should be some global solution not specific to any application.
Perhaps, one can somewhere choose which application fires up when bluetooth is connected?
At first glance I do not see such an option in bluetooth configuration...
does anyone have a solution on this yet?
Try this:
1) Download Greenify (free).
2) Add the app(s) that automatically start to Greenify.
3) Test.
Greenify puts apps into a "hibernate" mode that disallow it from running in the background until you manually click on them to open. This is meant to help your phone by saving battery that those apps would use, but I could see it being helpful in your situation as well.

Eventually I used a hammer: I have frozen the offending application in Titanium Backup and it no longer bothers me when the phone connects to bluetooth. Of course, the downside is that I cannot use this application at all now but it was so annoying...
Before that I tried to use llama to kill the application automatically when connecting to bluetooth but that worked only in about 20% of cases.

Just tried Greenify. The free version does not "greenify" system application like google music and apparently I was wrong that it was poweramp. I have not tried the paid version yet, not sure if it is worth buying. Back to the hammer solution for now.
I'm fairly sure the "donation" version is the same.
If you're willing to pay for a great app with many uses, then buy Titanium Backup and use their Freeze function to stop Google Music.
My CAR does this. There is a setting in the bluetooth menu of my car called "Auto Play." When turned on, the car will start playing music when I get in the car, when off, I have to manually turn on music.

The free version of Greenify claims that greenifying system applications is an experimental feature of the donation version. I have not tried the donation version though.

I found this at pioloteers.org (Honda piolot forum):
"I have Samsung Galaxy and from what I read on the net it's a big annoyance for a lot of people. It isn't Pilot related, but is frustrating for a lot of folks nevertheless. The solution is to disable auto play on the phone as hollowpoints suggested. Unfortunately, not all android audio players have this setting. The one which I use – PowerAmp – does have it and I was able to disable it. After that Android stock player started auto-playing and you can't disable the auto play on it, so I had to uninstall it. Now the problem is solved."
I have a 2012 MB GL350 and the option is in the media interface settings.

Disable stock music player or stop its auto lauch on BT?

Hi all. Love the 10 Pro!!!
Not so good is that I can't remove or disable the stock music player (music).
I use Pulsar but when I connect my Sony wh-1000xm2 through BT it automatically launches the horrible huawei music app and starts playing.
Any ideas how to get around that?

Try this, it helped out in my case.
in apps, select Music then select permissions and remove storage permission.

Tried it, it still starts sometimes PLUS I just noticed that storage permission was back on. How strange is that, EMUI overwrites user settings?

Unfortunately, even though storage permission is OFF, the app still launches and plays when the phone connects to BT in the car.

In settings, go to battery, tap on Launch, scroll down to Music and disable , you'll get a popup with three options, disable all three.

I know it's not really resolution, but try changing default app for Music. Just search "Default app settings" in settings.
OP here.
I may have solved this.
In settings-apps I disabled all music permissions and then deleted cache and all data. Then I set Pulsar to my default music app.
Now Music no longer shows in battery-launch anymore so I guess it is effectively disabled.
Fot me this is OK now.
In combination with this problem, I can't even set spotify or Amazon music player as default, it's not even on the list, any ideas?
Thanks bro. Nailed it to the heart. Works for honor 9 lite.

Just got myself a P20, I too am experiencing this same issue, followed all the steps above and when connecting to BTU in car still launches default player even though I have set PI Music to default. Is there not a way to remove the default app permanently using "Tool all in one software " ?

Dolby Atmos EQ keeps turning off

Why does my Dolby Atmos app keep turning off everytime I switch/exit to another app, even though the EQ is still on (with Spotify playing in the background). I have to turn on and off to hear the difference and it is so noticeable. It's like trying to force me to stay on the app in order for it to work, when it normally wasn't like this before. I even tried restarting my phone still no luck, uninstalling/reinstalling the module. Still no luck.
It even turns off when I swipe down for my quick settings/widgets gestures, this is actually annoying af. I don't know what's triggered this bug but it defiantly wasn't like this before.
Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it. My device is the OnePlus 5T with Android 9
At least VIPER stays on.

It could be conflicting with viper, does it work on its own?
If so this might solve your problem

@FP__96
You use DA as standalone app or as Android's default equalizer?
To make DA Android's default equalizer
1. Install Google Play Music app, if not done yet.
2. Open the Google Play Music app and tap on the three lines on the left top corner of the Google Play Music app.
3. Click on Settings -> Equalizer. You will see Dolby Atmos options there.
4. Enable the Dolby Atmos check box.

Using it as a standalone app/module from magisk. Having followed your instructions, it leads my to Viper.

Annoyingly no. The only way for it to work is if I stay on the app and do nothing. If I exit the app or scroll down to see my notifications the EQ stops and then I have to turn it on/off for it to work again.
**EDIT** So it seems as though uninstalling Viper has fixed the issue. But now I'm thinking, so there's no way for both apps to run at the same time...
@FP__96
This module should be able to use dolby and the v4a codec from viper at the same time.
