[Q] sound effects settings? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On the stock version 4.xx there was a sound effect setting (under settings > sound > sound effects)
Since updating to 5.xx it seems to have dissapeared and I can't find it anywhere

Sound driver is different in lollipop, so there is no this menu anymore

S4 after official 5.0.1 update - No music Controls on Lock Screen?

My S4 on Version took the OTA 5.0.1 update today, and now when I use any music app (Amazon Music, Player Pro, etc) I no longer have music controls or album artwork on my lock screen. Any idea how to get it back?
Thank You
I was able to figure it our, if anyone else needs to know:
Settings > Sound & Notification > When Device Is Locked > Show all notification content.
You can then go into the App Notification settings (right below the previous one) and set any apps that have sensitive notification content. All other apps should fully display their notifications on the lock screen, including music apps.
my galaxy s4 music equalizer won't accept any changes....it's just stuck on normal
how can i fix that?

[GUIDE] MIUI Battery & Multi-tasking Fix v4.1 (Updated)

Redmi Note 3 (SD / MTK) Battery & Multi-Tasking Fix v4.1
For MIUI7 & MIUI8
Mediatek & Snapdragon Variants
Global/China & Beta/Stable ROMs​
MIUI is a forked version of Android with plenty of additional features & tweaks not found in stock AOSP ROM. MIUI is very smooth & has a great battery life on the Redmi Note 3. The powerful Snapdragon 650 with its excellent single core performance coupled with dual channel LPDDR3 RAM & eMMC 5.1 flash storage results in blazing fast 1st time app opening speeds.
MIUI by default is very aggressive at killing background apps in the running in the memory, as a result it is unable to keep more than 3-4 apps in the memory while multi-tasking or after waking up the device. Default settings are aimed to keep as much free RAM as possible thats where the problem lies. It kills the apps running in the background to keep most of its RAM free. Apps get killed & have to be reloaded again from the flash storage into the memory, this takes a lot of CPU, I/O cycles & makes the end user experience less enjoyable. Below settings might make your multitasking a bit better at the cost of less free RAM, but that shouldn't matter as RAM is meant to be used not kept free. Always remember "Free RAM is Wasted RAM.

- Swipe down the app icon or recent app screen to reveal a lock icon on top left corner.
- Tap on it, this locks the app into the memory & it wont get force killed in the background.

Important

Wiki : What does each and every option do?

- High: 767MB to 1GB
- Middle: 767MB to 1GB
- Low: Swap file disabled
- Off: Swap file disabled
• Show All ANRs : This option enables MIUI to show an obtrusive dialogue box after an app fails to stop responding . Setting this off doesnt show the pop-up frequently.
• Force-Closed Apps : This option enables MIUI to show an obtrusive dialogue box after an app force-closes unexpectedly. Setting this off doesnt show the message. It enables after every reboot.
• Turn On MIUI Optimization : This option enables a plethora of MIUI based settings & optimizations as per the guidelines set by the MIUI developers. It helps to load the app and the app data in parallel reducing load times and ensuring snappier user experience. This setting can sometimes cause a variety of issues on non-MIUI based apps such as Google Apps & Apps from Google Playstore. Its better to disable if you rely on Google Playstore for apps & services or use Global Stable or Global Beta MIUI ROMs
With the MIUI Optimization Enabled, some users reported the following issues
- Cannot set third-party launcher like Nova, Apex or Google Now launcher.
- Wallpaper cannot be set using in-built options via custom launchers.
- Occasional lags, stutters or freezes while scrolling web-pages & long lists.
- Custom apps set as default restore to default MIUI apps on reboot. (Only on MIUI China ROMs)
- Cannot set accessibility services on reboot.
- Background apps cannot sync data.
- Music players stop playing after sometime.
- UI Animations are not synced properly.
• After turning off MIUI optimization
- Above issues may get solved.

- Settings > Battery & Performance > Battery Use > Graph changes to AOSP style.
- Settings > Installed Apps > All > Documents > It will not be disabled after every reboot.
- Settings > Additional Settings > Buttons > Settings may get reset.
- No OTA update notifications. Enable it to receive the OTA updates.

I would love to know what this option does.
I disabled and i notice that the device is a little smoother. I have one very big folder with all the useless apps, scrolling was always stuttering in there.
Now its smooth.
EDIT
My device is the simple redmi 3, but i still would like to know what is this MIUI optimization.
Settings App > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Memory Optimization : Enabled

It sychronizes the UI thread with the animation time, so by keeping it disabled the clock timer doesnt have to wait for the animation to start/stop. The CPU effortlessly renders the animations without waiting for the MIUI framework to sychronize the animations.

that was a mistake, I edited it. Keep it DISABLED
Still doesn't work for me. It keeps closing my apps,sometimes even when i'm still using them. It closes my apps even when I lock them by swiping down.The ram management is just too aggressive.
Thanks man you fixed it :good:
Much smoother and useful
Thread Updated

Hi there.... I have this problem when I play music with SPOTIFY in background. (redmi note 3 pro 16GB - global stable MIUI 7.3.2)
The music stop playing. I can see the app get killed by MIUI. This happen even if the app is locked and is in background. This problem doesn't happen with google play music. When I turn on the screen I can see that is not image and song name just like this
when I turn on the screen this is like this imgur image [o9nTtWD]
Already tried all this recommendation without success.

This will prevent the SystemUI from showing XYZ app has been force closed for an uninterrupted user experience.
Donwload kernel auditor, go to "Low memory Killer" set to Medium or Aggressive if you have lag (you shouldn't), now the phone can keep around 10 apps in memory.
Thanks. It helped. Was frustrated by apps getting closed

This was the last correction
"Settings App > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Memory Optimization disabled"
Because the original post said another different thing. Also remember keep spotify lock on memory
Open spotify -> press home button -> press menu button -> pull spotify DOWN

I have followed all the steps, and some tips I found on other links (enable apps to autostart), but my apps still get killed randomly. Any more advice?

S7 Edge with 7.0 - lacking Power Notification Controls and screen wake notifications

Why the hells samsung removed System UI tuner? Or it's me that cannot find this controls outside?
Now we cannot control the notifications properly... with the levels. Whatsapp for ex gives annoying previews over each and every message and now only exist 2 options on notifications or put it silently (no preview + no sound) or preview+ sound... what a stupid move.
Also each notification wakes the screen... any way to turn this off?
If this is true, I'll happily skip the nougat update

Yeah but you see. Like thread starter mentioned. If enable show silently ur apps will completely silence. No notification sound and vibrate. He just want to disable the heads up notification only. Not the sound. Marshmallow seeting is better because they separate it.
ive been having issues with this as well ever since i bought my S7 Edge, coming from Nexus 6 i really miss the advance notification control inside AOSP. anyway to enable it in s7 nougat roms?
thanks

Root-free Sound Enhancement

Hi, good day. Just want to share here that I had noticeable sound improvement with app "Wavelet" from Playstore. An excellent system-wide audio equalizer.
Im using "Voice" preset at Setting > Sound Vibration > Sound Effect, along with custom equalizer as in the picture. Share your config here too
