[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevew84:
I've had my Nexus 6 since April, along with a couple other flagships but I'm curious to get back with Samsung. The Nexus 6 is great and all, but I'm getting a little bored with it and I'd like something with a better screen.

Does anyone have the Nexus 6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] seh6183:
I've had the Nexus 6. I bought 2 at launch and was really excited about it. I love the speakers but thats about where it stopped. Is has good build quality too. However the screen could not be seen in day light which really annoyed me, even in a well lit place like best buy it was hard to see. Also the battery life was just never great and I suspect that screen was the reason why.

The nexus 6 also doesn't have 1 handed mode, the camera sucked, no s-pen, no multi window. I have a list somewhere of all the reasons I switched from the Nexus 6 to the Note 4 and it was a long one. Found the list lol:

The speaker phone is way laouder on the note during calls

The ear piece is way louder during calls

The proximity sensor sucked on the Nexus 6, it never seemed to be perfect

The rounded back of the Nexus made it really annoying when it was laying flat on a table and you were pushing on the screen

Note has a fingerprint scanner

Auto brightness is better on the note, it didn't go as low or as high on the Nexus

Everything else I mentioned above. Happy hunting!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] stevew84:
Thanks for the feedback...you said the Note 4, right? I was looking at either the 4 or the 5 because I'm not convinced the price difference is worth it. The screen is the same resolution and PPI is just about the same, if not identical.

Yea, the internals on the 5 are better, BUT I guess the Exynos or however you spell it is just about Dev proof. At least that's what I've heard. I've seen some of the Dev on the Note 4 and some of the same ROMS I use on my Nexus are available there...so that works for me.

Can the S-Pen be used on any AOSP ROMS at this point?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] seh6183:
I currently have a note 4 and a 5. When I made that list I was comparing the Nexus 6 to the Note 4, and since the Note 5 is better than the 4 in almost every way, they all apply as well.

The Note 5 is just an upgraded Note 4. It's screen is better, the battery life better (even though it's smaller) the software is way better, speaker in a better location, vastly superior hardware design, the internals are way better than the Note 4, the new Exynos crushes the 805. Way faster and better looking camera, instant fingerprint scanner (couldn't stand the Note 4 swipe). The s-pen storage on the Note 5 is awesome too. I'm sure there's more.

You can use an s-pen on aosp but you won't get any of the TouchWiz features and will have to rely on third party apps for drawing and editing. Also there will be plenty of Dev stuff for the new Exynos chipset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Toneman07:
I faced this problem myself a few weeks back and must say, I am happy with the change.

I got my Nexus 6 back in December and really, what was so great about it? It was a Nexus - the excitement really stops there. (you mentioned the speakers - I live in Vegas and am an avid rock - crawler in a local jeep club. The speakers did nothing but collect dust which i could never get cleaned. Not well for an OCD person)

Yes, it was easy to modify, root, rom etc. This is doable with Xposed as well. The design of the Nexus 6 reminded me of someone with a beer gut. The back curve just wasn't appealing. I hated the fact that I was limited to a blue phone through T-Mobile. I put a wrap on it but even then - aesthetically it wasn't an appealing phone. As time dragged on, i felt the Nexus slowing down, not performing as well as it had previously. The implementation of WIFI calling brought even more issues. Checking a voicemail on a WIFI call would result in the voicemail logo staying at the top for days. Again - as an OCD person this was slightly annoying. It was even worse listening to my wife complain about it as she refused to allow me to root her Nexus. I also frequently had WIFI strength issues - two devices side by side showing completely different signal strengths on the same router.

The Note 5 is thin, even in a case. Fits much better in my hand. The stylus is cool and the phone has all of the gimmicks that I will probably never use. I purchased the white one - I like how it looks in the case with the white bezels. The phone responds better, reacts quicker and the camera is better ( huge plus - first kid is now 6 months old - I take a lot of pictures and do video calling while I'm at work)

I use the built in Theme Store and really haven't had any issues with the horrid Touch Wiz.

In the end - to each their own. I may have personally set the bar too high being as it was my first Nexus phone and I had heard such amazing stories about them. In the end I was underwhelmed. As much as it kills me to be back on a Samsung Phone - The Samsung Gear S is pretty entertaining and the phone could be a lot worse.

Just my 2 cents -
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] md1008:
I have both, I like my Nexus 6 better but am really enjoying the Note 5. They are both solid phones.

[Android Apps and Games] MoistPicklez:
Now this is a good looking music player!
[Android Apps and Games] rocarizt:
Yeah, good looking and functional but I don't like the price to get my EQ back.....

Gesendet von meinem LG-D855 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
There are more features in premium version, not only EQ, but also 15+ themes. Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] rocarizt:
I know. I really like the player, even without the EQ the sound is nice but in the past I bought a music player for almost the same price and 8 month later the support and the development was dropped. Today this player is unusable.

I keep the player on my phone.

Gesendet von meinem LG-D855 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I spent tons of time to develop this player. I think it should not be dropped.:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
The new version 1.0.1 is released with some bug fixes and French language support. Please upgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] ela1103:
i really like this player .but some faetures is missing like next folder & previous folder play option .Folder automatically cahange next folder when finish prevoius folder .Pls do some feature Unique & classic that is remix of the trend now .i need to evey on use this player so only iam request this feature .
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I understand your request. But I am not sure how to put this feature, I have not seen similar feature on common players, maybe I tried too little.

Currently you can click one folder and choose play, and then click another folder, choose add to queue, then the queue will contains two folders and will play the second folder when first folder finished. Also you can save the queue as playlist.

Maybe in future releases I need to add more sort types to songs, then you can sort songs by folder/album, and you can play all songs folder by folder, or album by album.
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
A great player with a modern and simple interface. Good job :good:

Nevertheless, would it be possible to add another tab for the album artist tag? Most of today's music files have this tag embedded and quite an amount of users use this tag to navigate through their music library. For example, if you have some albums from artist ABC, of which most files have another artist as "ABC feat. XYZ", it is quite a pain in the a... finger to put them into a playlist where you have all albums of ABC when you navigate through the artist tab as each track with such a "feat. XYZ" is listed as a separate artist.
[Android Apps and Games] snakingstudio:
Nice music player. Thanks for sharing, bro!
[Android Apps and Games] Anand_theGeek:
Does your music player have the tag-edit functionality???? I will be really impressed if this functionality is added to your creation.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Understand. I will consider it in future releases if it is a common requirement. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Currently, for version 1.0, there is no tag-edit function. But it is in plan for future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] edoardotavecchio:
It's the first music player with a really good looking interface, but I can't buy the pro version, it's not present in the play store. Please fix, I'd like to buy the full version for the equalizer.

I have some feature requests:

-A 10 instead of 5 bands equalizer

-Would it be possibile to add the crossfading feature?

-More personalization about sound/controls
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Currently the pro version has some issues, I will upload it soon when the issue is fixed. Thanks.

Thank you for the continued support and releases. Your app works just fine except the lock-screen button issue I mentioned in another post. Also it would be nice to have an option to go to the album of the song that is currently being played. I know the 3-dot menu in the Album view but I am talking about an option in the Now Playing page.
[Android Apps and Games] bisherbas:
Can you make previous/next buttons fast backward/forward upon pressing and holding? I can't navigate the playing song precisely. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] alvians:
awesome design bro....

i realy love it
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
I noticed the lock screen widget problem. Maybe I can made some adjustment for wider screen users. I will consider this in future releases.

I will add album/artist link in now playing page in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It will be supported in future releases.

Do you plan to make the same for Ios? or may be you have one&
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
No plan yet, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Elektrosphere:
Secondo me l'applicazione ha 2 difetti.

1: il tab "cartelle" non viene visualizzato mostrando la copertina come il tab"album";

2: gli album composti da differenti artisti, nel tab "album", vengono suddivisi per artista. Nel tab "Album", l'unico tag da considerare, dovrebbe essere il tag "Album".

---------------

In my application it has two flaws.

1: the tab "Folder" is displayed showing the cover as the tab "Album";

2: albums composed by different artists, in the tab "album", are divided by artist. In the tab "Album", the only tag to be considered, it should be tagged with "Album".

Hi today purchased the full version to support you. The app looks awesome. I am loving it. But I am facing a couple of issues. Sorry in case already reported.

1. Tag edit not saved.

2. Download "Album Art" from Internet not working. "Illegal Argument Exception. Album could not be found" error displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Hi, could you send the snapshot to support@rhmsoft.com? We can get in touch using email to solve this problems. It is easier to communicate.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
1. May I know how to reproduce this problem? How do you know that the tag edit was not saved?

2. Album could not be found means that when search from internet the album using the name and artist can not be found. Maybe the album title or artist name is not correct, or maybe the album is not widely known and can not be found from website database.
[Android Apps and Games] Elektrosphere:
i tag dovrebbero essere letti dal file. Se un Album creato da me con il titolo "Giornata al mare" e dentro 10 canzoni che hanno nome album "Giornata al mare", ma ogni canzone il nome di perso differenti (es: canzone 1, tag artista "MARIO", canzone 2 tag artista "Giorgio", ecc.., non verranno accordati nello stesso album "Giornata al mare", ma verranno suddivisi in "Gior sta al mare/MARIO", "Giornata al mare/Giorgio", ecc..

Per la visualizzazione anche del tab "Cartelle" della cover, basta far puntare la cover al primo file della cartella. Come fa PowerAmp.

------------

tags should be read from the file. If an album created by me with the title "Day of the Sea" and in 10 songs that album name "Day of the Sea", but every song the name of lost different (eg: 1 song, artist tag "MARIO" Song 2 Tag artist "Giorgio", etc .., will not be accorded the same album "Day of the Sea", but will be divided into "Day of the sea / MARIO", "Day of the sea / Giorgio", etc ..

To view even the tab "Folders" of the cover, just point the cover to the first file in the folder. How does PowerAmp.

Tapping on the heart icon makes it filled and notification bubble pops up at the bottom of the screen. However when I go to the Favorites playlist the song won't show up there. I haven't been able to add a single song to the Favorites playlist.

Running the very latest version on Nexus 6P.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
It is not adding the song to a playlist named Favorite. When you open playlists activity, it contains your playlist, favorite, newly played, most played, newly added fragments. Favorite is an individual section here.
[Android Apps and Games] mani0608:
1. When I change or modify the existing album name or artist, it's not saving it. But if I add something which is not there then it's saving it.

2. Yeah you are right about that. But when I searching it manually in Google I am able to get the album art. Are you using any septic sources to search for album arts?
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Could you send me an email to support@rhmsoft.com? I made a temp build which may solve the first problem. If not, you can also send me the music file to reproduce this problem.

For the album cover problem, if there are duplicated album with the same or similar keywords, it is not possible to distinguish them, unless artist name is specified. Commonly same artist will not publish two albums with the same name, but different album cover.
[Android Apps and Games] mani0608:
Thanks a lot mate. I am sending you an email. Regarding the second problem, the album art fetching has never really worked for me. I am using manual Google search to update it. In case if this issue occurs only to me then it will be some problem with my audio in information like you pointed out. If the first issue is resolved then I think I can try to resolve my second issue. ?
[Android Apps and Games] mani0608:
Hi Mate

Thanks for sharing the fixed version. Looks like it's working with ID3v1 and its working. But a couple more. Looks like tag editing not working with m4a file formats but playing nicely. And another thing is that when I deleted a song by mistake there was no confirmation and the song got deleted from my internal storage. Can you please add a confirmation popup while deleting a file?
[Android Apps and Games] makinaakafa:
Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Artf8h:
Tags doesnt save after editing, everything stays same as was
[Android Apps and Games] bloooooooooom:
I tried reinstalling, checked directory access permissions, but the state did not change.

New music files can no longer be loaded, and when files that have been load are deleted and relocated, they cannot be read in the same way.

The same situation occurred before and after app reinstallation.

I am using Pixel3a, karnel ver 4.9.165-g583404d31612-ab5723792, Pulsar 1.9.1.

Problem with tracks numbers

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out with this: I've been using Pulsar+ for a while now, and I'm super happy with it.

Although, since upgrading my Pixel 3 to Android 10, I've been facing multiple issues:

1- As some people said before in the thread, every time I add new music, I have to delete the whole multimedia storage again through the settings and restart my phone, because otherwise re-scanning the library doesn't work, and it doesn't detect the new files, when VLC for instance does.

2- All my albums tracks don't display in the right order, even if my sorting is set to "Track #". VLC and other players do it correctly - why isn't it the case with Pulsar? The tags are correctly created, but "Track 10" comes before "Track 2", or completely out of order.

Many thanks! :)

Edit: I have already uninstalled/reinstalled Pulsar, but that doesn't change anything at all.
[Android Apps and Games] bennyb0y:
Would it be possible to have in the settings "Include folders" instead of "Exclude". This way I'm sure you'd have better control of the required folders for the music you want.

(P.S. Irrelevant note. Hey! I got post #1984 - I suppose "Big Brother" is watching this post? ?)
[Android Apps and Games] aaopt:
but now we need audio book mode

Great app for music, and with the position-within-track feature in the new release it seems you are also thinking about audio books. To that end, replying to an earlier post as a reminder. Remembering position within a track is great but having all my audio book tracks mixed in randomly with shuffled music tracks is not so great.
[Android Apps and Games] pepot:
It would be possible in a future update to be able to change the size of the grid in the tabs, artists and album? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Xelo Ego:
Wish in a future update to show the cover of the Songs when I choose them in the folder instead of the play generic

Feature Request

Just downloaded the free version and this looks like one of the better apps, only issue is it doesnt seem to support local playlists (.m3u .xspf etc) any chance this will be implemented?
[Android Apps and Games] Rosetti:
Ok so... Used this app for some years now. Paid version. Support over here or play store sukkz so thank you for nothing.

Switched over to DoubleTwist Pro. Way better looking, way better sound (!) and real flac support.

Bye
[Android Apps and Games] MrIlikeit:
Just a little up for this message as my tracks are completely out of order, and this has been the case after I deleted/copied again my entire library, checked all my track numbers etc.

Track #12 comes before Track #2, and that's the only app to do this, as VLC/Omnia and others recognise them correctly.

Did you include the fast forward and rewind in the latest version? For me it still doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] joshua.b:
Love the app, thank you. Best music player app I've found. Was wondering if there could possibly be an option when displaying the list of artists, that the picture next to the artist could be the album cover of their first album alphabetically?
[Android Apps and Games] mareksom:
I had the same issue and I managed to resolve it. My files had the ID3v1 tags set, but no ID3v2 tags. Populating ID3v2 tags with the same values solved the problem. Apparently, starting from some version, Pulsar started to ignore ID3v2 tags on MP3 files.

I hope this help you, too.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Sorry, I forgot to add this. I will add this in next release...
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Media database rebuilt is suggested. It won't break your music files, but just recreate the media store database.

Here is how:

Go to Settings > Apps > 3 dot menu > show system, find Media Storage, then clear data and reboot your device, wait a few minutes, the media storage will rebuild from scratch.
[Android Apps and Games] rhmsoft:
Are the song files store on the SD card? Which Android version are you using?

Thanks, I think I already did it once, but it didn't change anything. I'll try again later on. :)

Hi, when searching for a track, if you have multiple live versions, there is no way to differentiate the versions from the search results (unless they have different track names which is often not the case). GPM has the album art on the search results, so you can tell straight away
[Android Apps and Games] Mad Throne:
I bought this player from play store and everything seems to be working very well but recently I started to notice some obvious issues. I am currently encountering two issues.

Horrible one is tracks are not displaying in order in some album. If you want solid evidence, I could sent you an email with video.

The remaining one is after updating my phone to Android Q, I can no longer edit tags of audio files that are stored in external sd card.

Hopefully you would fix these as soon as possible.
