Sending music on the S4 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

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?

Want Google Play Music as default but Samsung Music takes over

This is mainly an issue with Bluetooth and plugging in headphones. For example....When I connect to my phone with Ford SYNC it automatically uses Samsung Music as the default player and starts to cycle through my saved ringtones. Very annoying as I have to physically open Google Play Music on the phone and start my selected playlist manually.
Is there any way around this? Play Music is the default player for all music types I have on the phone but that doesn't seem to matter either.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Remove it using titanium back app but u need to root first.

That's the problem. If I root I lose Sky Go so not an option.

How to send songs without using a file manager?

I'm using the stock music app and the only way to send music is via the bluetooth option. Cant seem to find a way to share using wifi direct/whatsapp etc. I can do this in the stock app on my S2 ,however? . The share music button on the s4 takes me to group play . Real annoying to find the song in a file manager to send it via another option. Also,yeah I cant send songs via S Beam either. The option doesnt even come up. While the S3 can do it easily...I can only receive music via S beam
No one?
I guess u can send it via your stock music player

The stock music player only gives me the bluetooth option :crying:
Seems to be a dumb oversight by Samsung,if my S2 can do it...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Stock Music Widget

Hi guys I'm having an issue whereby once I delete the stock music widget from the LG home screen where it was placed there by default, I'm no longer able to add it back. It seems to be missing from the widgets tab. I couldn't find it would trying on Nova as well. Anyone else had this problem? I pretty much prefer stock music apps to Google music cuz it has a lot of functions I don't need. The stock music app keeps it simple.
