[Q] Sound & Shot pictures - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Does anyone know if pictures taken in Sound & Shot" only work with GS4 phones? I tried sending a picture with sound via mms and email but the recipient cannot hear the sound.

Sound and shot would have to be a video file. I think its an S4 only thingy.

Sending music on the S4

Is it not possible to send music from the stock music player app anymore? I can't S-beam songs to other devices like I would with the s3. When pressing the menu button on the s3 or long pressing on a song a share button would appear which would let me send music, now I get "share music" which launches group play and just let's you play it on another device... only sharing method is via Bluetooth but I want the functionality back to send music via sbeam with the stock music app as it was a feature I used a lot as all my friends and family have s3's..please let me know if I am wrong. I know I can go through a file manager and send a song like that but I'd prefer to do it from the music app as everything is organized
Bump
Anyone please?
I'm looking for answers for this also. Is there a mod zip to unlock this like the hotspot mod?

I also found this annoying, especially while watching video etc. The only solution I ever found was to mute the sounds, which stopped the alerts interrupting the music or video playback, and as a bonus, you still hear the ringer through the headphones
If you have/use tasker, you can create a policy that detects when your watching films or listening to music and automatically sets the alerts to mute, then sets it back when your done.
But how to mute? I selected mute sounds in configuration and player stopped too.

I just mute it using the mute/vbrate toggle in the quick setting menu and still am able to play music via google play or videos

SoundAlive: settings change by using the camera

Heyho!
Today I listened HD-music via headphones. When I took a photo playback stopped for about a second (no shutter sound could be heard), and after that the settings of SoundAlive had changed (bass and clarity were now off). Does anybody know what to do?
Thanks from Berlin!

I have the exact same problem. Now the SoundAlive program is dead.The options like 3D , bass and clarity doesn't get activated on touch, neither do the various reverberation effects down at the bottom.

You have to rename the audio file located
System\media\audio\ui
Named
VideoRecord.ogg to VideoRecord.bak or just delete. I prefer to rename but whatever you do will remove that awful noise.
Hmm thats not it. Ill search around a bit more.

Changed it but no change. Couldn't find any others to change.
I used Tasker app to get rid of the video button sound. When the camera app is launched, the phone goes into silent mode, then turns off silent mode when the camera closes. It was my first time using Tasker, so there may be a better way, but it works.

[Q] Is there any way to play music while on a call? Rooted Stock

Hi,
Is there any way to play music while on a call?
I'm back on stock Bell ROM and rooted but thinking about going back to xtrastolite as it's way better.
Thanks,

And why do you need to listen to music while on a call?
For instance if I wanted to play a song on voicemail or a recorded call to another person.

So do I understand you correctly, you would like to be on a call on your phone and then play a audio file (Song, VM, whatever) outloud so they can hear it as though you were holding 2 devices?
If that's right I think that would be a multi level challenge. Problem you will face I believe is the rom itself is pretty deeply coded to mute music for calls, for gps, etc... so MIGHT be a possibility would be to install a 3rd party music player and code the output of that player to say the REAR speaker and ignore any pause or mute requests, but idk for sure... I bet this would be a lot of close one door open 2 more kinda thing for a while.
