As from the title you can see that I found the easiest way to play background YouTube's videos or music which doesn't require for you to download external apps that allow that. This allows the listening while the screen is off and while using other app (not sure didn't test on every app).
Note: I'm not sure if if there is a another post on this but just incase if someone don't know about it...
1) First of all chose the YouTube video/music you want to listen in the background while doing other stuff.
2) once the video/music is playing go to home screen and after going to the home screen press the power button once to lock your device.
3) then wake up your device again this should take you to the lock screen page as shown in the picture below
4) once you can see the lock screen that has notifications on it, then swipe the clock to the left which should show the name of the YouTube title.
That's it hopefully this does work forever as I am not sure if the android would potentially close YouTube after a while but yeahhhhhh. You lot probably already know about this but just wanted to share if somebody doesn't know it.
You need to have lucky patcher and adaway youtube. Don't let it update or you'll lose ad free.

Just tried, didn't work. It is greyed out. What still does work though is when you open the video in youtube, lock, and press play button on your headphones. It starts playing and will even continue going when you're playing from a playlist for example.

Hey guys,
I just got my Fire and I love it (besides the fact that I feel like I have to sideload EVERYTHING). I installed the official Spotify app, and it ran alright aside from some screen formatting problems (the navigation buttons for the Fire get in the way). The main issue is that the Fire doesn't realize it's a music app for some reason and puts the wifi connection to sleep when the screen goes off so my music shuts off... Very frustrating. Anyone have any ideas for a fix for this. I thought about installing Spare Parts Plus, but I can't find it anywhere to sideload it and it's not in the stupid Kindle App store...
Anyone? I may return my Fire if I can't get this to work...It's THAT important to me that I can stream without the wifi turning off...
you might want to look into apps that keep wifi on since the settings page for wifi is gone in the Fire. I'm sure one of those must exist somewhere. If not it seems like a very trivial app to write. Some sort of wifi lock toggle.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hogdex.WifiRuler&feature=also_installed
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mdsoftware.wifipowermanager&feature=also_installed
Try any of those apps, I'm pretty sure WiFi manager will be able to do whatever you need and more.
The screen formatting problems make it impossible for me to pause playing music without exiting the app - am I missing a way to do that?

It's silly, and really, really less-than-ideal, but using the spotify widget works for this. Toss in a volume control widget on the same screen, works great.
(This, of course, assumes you... have a normal launcher installed >.>)

Nice tip! Thanks. With ADW installed, being able to use a widget really is a life saver! The app is really crippled with the Kindle bar over the top. I hope they come up with a fix soon, but seeing as they don't officially support it, and Amazon probably won't allow it in the store, I won't hold my breath.
I can't get the buttons to show up correctly on the Spotify app itself. I can't tell if it's something to do with the tablet, or something to do with the fact that it's on a modified version of Android. I guess once the custom ROMs are out we'll know for sure.
Giving the numbers and spotify strategy, my guess is a fire friendly version is not far off..sound like we have a workaround for now.

Even if it *is* a silly workaround
I also told Amazon they should try to get it working properly, since, hey, I pay for Spotify, I'd like to use it on here.
Also, the music app that comes on it tends to be a bit... stuttery.
i have been having the same issues. Does anyone know if Spotify works on any tablets?
Anyone been able to get Netflix work in multi Window mode? The Netflix Window opens and plays vicious but when I select another Window it stops playing video... It's there a fix for this or is there nothing we can do
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
Some apps could be modified to multiwindow, there is a thread somewhere with many multiwindow apps. Apparently the only thing needed is to add a small bit of code at the top of the programcode, there was some clear instructions in that thread.

I had the same problem as you.
What I did was:
1) Open Netflix, and the other app you wish to use.
2) Press "continue watching" at top left of netflix (This is when it auto full screens in the window.)
3) Quickly tap onto the other app you wish to use before Netflix finish goes full screen.
4) Netflix should start playing, and you can use your other app without it pausing.
Once you tap on Netflix again, it will pause again if you try to switch window. It is annoying, however its manageable for me. It is not like I need to press on Netflix window often.
The only alternative solution that works for me at least. Works like a charm watching How I Met Your Mother, while browsing the web, or playing psx emulator
Hope it helps!

That's the trick I use. Actually discovered it in a few minutes of being frustrated with Netflix pausing when the window was unfocused. It works good for my needs on a Tab Pro 8.4!
Hulu Plus though doesn't work with multiwindow. It acts like it is landscape mode fullscreen video so when you have two apps side by side, the video is literally cut in half while still playing and doesn't fit within the half window guideline.
I like the phone, but the 16gb causes a lot of concern. After downloading my music from Amazon, it's almost gone.
I can't find an option to put music from Amazon on my sd card, is that hte new kit kat "feature"?
Also, the test message preview on my lock screen only says "New Message", ther eused to be an option that gave me a preview of the actual message..is it gone?
On the Note 3, it had a setting where screenshots would enter auto edit mode, came in real handy for me. S5 doesn't seem to have this?
When I disabled my magazine, my home screen transitions isn't continuous ..I know I seen the s5 do this in review videos.
Did you root your phone yet with Towelroot? If so go to play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and install this to get read/write to your sd card. The other stuff I can't help you with. Sorry.

Not yet. I will this weekend tho. Thanks bud
Before you root you may want to look into fix for SHealth and ISIS Wallet (if you use it). You have to stop SHealth and Health Services in app manager and clear data and cache before you installed Xposed. You may even have to uninstall their updates if I remember as well.
Install xposed and it's service , then update Shealth and it should work fine. Once you get that done install ISIS Root Bypass 3.0 module for xposed and check it in modules and reboot and the Wallet will work fine after that.
These were two things that I use often and really had to get working to be happy with root.

Why put off until tomorrow, what you could do today, and prevent yourself from being screwed by VZW when they push 4.4.3 soon, and Root may not work with it?
In the text messaging app you'll see a setting to display the message on the lockscreen instead of new message.
Plug your phone into the computer and drag and drop the music to the SD or use root explorer to move it there.. You don't need root to do this.
No, the S5 cannot auto enter edit mode as far as I know, maybe clear defaults of gallery and set images to auto open in an editor?
As far as continuous transitions just use apex or Nova.

How did you "disable" My Magazine exactly? I was able to long press home screen, choose Home screen settings, and uncheck My Magazine. This allowed me to scroll continuously or not.

You'll have to edit a file using Root Explorer then if you disable My Magazine you'll have endless home screen scrolling. I use Nova launcher which already has the option in settings. If you definitely have to have the stock launcher and you can't get infinite scrolling to work let me know I'll tell you which file to edit.

Hey fellow s5 users on xda. Quick question:
Running rooted s5 with latest update (NI2)
I want to use youtube and listen to a song while having the phone sleep. The issue arises when i attempt to lock the screen and put it my pocket, the music pauses.
This forces me to leave the screen on while i put it away. It tends to pocket dial and send/save gibberish text messages.
So long question short how can i keep youtube playing while my screen is off?
Thank you

Yes, thats from Music application because, the player would be trying to fetch song lyrics etc, and since you are using mobile data, you may incur additional money. So, its basically a warning but since you are using JIO, so ignore it!

Yes. it's from Music. Might be due to Hungama service to the Music Player on 5.8.019S. I never used the Music app. so not aware
