Is there a way to turn off "use headset for music control" Like there is on Android? (Like tweaking a reg key?)
Reason for asking: I use a 3,5mm jack plug to connect my helmet headset with my phone, when I am driving my motorcycle. I like to listen music and I prefer audio for GPS navigation. Problem is that WM 6.5 keeps changing the song every second, or (when not using Sense) it loads WMplayer every now and then.
I solved this issue in android by unchecking "use headset to control music" (not sure whether it is called exactly like this".) This helps, because the issue is most likely caused by an interrupted connection with the jack plug (altough the plug seems to fit perfectly), which makes the phone think a button has been pressed for the next song. Using a different/extra plug is no option, because of helmet and space in sat nav pocket.
I could of course also kill WMPlayer and Sense music player by deleting files/reg keys (I use nitrogen which doesn't seem to be affected by the plug connection issue) but that would probably lead to a constant error stating it cannot load/find sense music player/ WMplayer.
Normally I just use android, but I need WM for tomtom navigation software. (Waypoint navigation is currently not possible with an offline application on Android)
Does nobody have a clue?
Oke, did some more digging. new question: Is there an app like "Headset Blocker" (android) available for Windows Mobile 6.5x?

Hello! I have a few strange questions for you all, and I"m guessing that this isn't really possible, but, here goes..
I have a car that has built-in bluetooth, so I connect my Atrix to it via that for phone calls. Is there a way to force the sound output through something other than bluetooth, ie USB or the audio cable? The downside to having the phone connected via bluetooth is that I cannot hear the navigation voice in Google Maps if I'm not in bluetooth audio mode on the car (or if I have the usb cable connected to the stereo to listen to music). Thanks!
If you have a car dock...it will output the sound from the calls via bluetooth and the navigation through the dock sound connector. But you still have to have the sound go somewhere. I normally use my phone for all audio experiences...radio...music...etc...and the navigation will chime in when it's time for it to.
Thanks for the reply! Only downside is if I plug my phone into the USB port in the car, it'll play music but won't play the nav over the speakers for some reason. I have controls on my steering wheel that I want to use, but I might just have to make do with looking at the screen without the audio. :\
the latest version of Google maps got rid of navigation volume and uses media volume. I restored an earlier version.
I recently purchased some Nokia BH-505 bluetooth headphones. I like them and I primarily use Pandora to listen to music. I'm having a periodic issue where the headphones sort of disconnect and quit playing music. This only happens when I choose to turn the screen off. If I keep the screen on, I never have any disconnect issue. Pandora is happily still streaming music though, and if I power off the headphones, the phone/pandora realizes that it's no longer connected and starts playing through the speaker of the phone (that's why I say "sort of" disconnecting). If I power the headphones on again, they connect, pandora pauses, then I can resume play and then a short time after the condition happens again (if I turn the screen off). I imagine it's some sort of memory related thing because it seems if I make sure I have no programs running in the background things seem to work as desired. I haven't found any sort of setting to tweak, and neither Pandora or any bluetooth like program is in an autoclose list.
Anyone have any ideas on any workarounds to this issue?
Hi,
Before custom ROMS were built on ICS, when I was listening to streaming music in my car (via bluetooth), the phone would automatically stop playing when the car turned off. Same thing if I'm listening to music and I pull the headphones out, whatever was playing gets paused.
Now, when I turn my car off, the music doesn't stop playing, it just starts playing through the phone's speaker.
So my question is, is it the ROM that makes a player pause on disconnect or is it the actual APP that decides to either stop or keep playing through the speaker.
I know PowerAMP has options to auto play and auto stop on disconnect, but other apps like youtube, Audiostation (for my synology NAS) and a few others don't have settings.

I think the fact that some apps have the option indicates that at very least, the app does have some control over it. I don't know if the ROM/kernel have some default setting built in for apps that don't define it.
It seems to be a feature missing in ICS. I'm hoping it shows up by the final update.
I use Tasker to accomplish the same thing. The whole task for media is when I plug headphones in, it launches a menu with media apps (music, netflix, etc) and turns the media volume up to 6. When disconnected, it mutes media volume, pauses media, and returns to the homescreen.
I'll take a look at that in the interim, all I really need is it just to pause on BT disconnect like it use to. The is already a separate volume setting for BT vs the headphone jack. Thanks for the tip.
That's interesting, I didn't know tasker had something to pause media. I'll definitely give that a try.
I believe that was an AOSP tweak..my Inc running CM7 would pause on bluetooth disconnect.

I own a GSM Galaxy Nexus and I picked up the official car dock yesterday, and I've noticed that it doesn't have an elegant method for pausing currently playing media when a disconnect is detected, like how when you unplug a headset and supported media apps will pause (e.g. Pandora or Google Music).
EDIT: Originally I was using Tasker's built-in media button functionality for pausing music, but that actually was triggering a global play/pause toggle which would toggle all apps at the same time, resulting in unwanted resumed playback from Pandora and Google Music. I managed to resolve the issue by using the Locale Headphone Button Plugin instead. With it I can issue a non-toggle pause event that only pauses tracks that are currently playing. There is absolutely no need to simulate a headset event.
I'm trying this as well, but in my car. so basically my task profile is when i have Power (any) and Bluetooth running. I plug the phone in via usb to the headunit and it auto-connects bluetooth to the unit. What i'm trying to simulate is when i turn the car off (aka....bluetooth loses connection, and in theory so does power), that any music would become paused. The simplest way is to simulate unplugging headphones since most every major music app pauses when you do that.
I downloaded Locale Headphone Button Plugin and the "Play/Pause" options works just fine in testing using the tasker in-program-test-play feature.
The issue I run into is that if I cut off the car, bluetooth dies (as it should), but as long as my USB power cord remains plugged into the phone (i.e. i haven't yet removed my phone from the glove box), the Locale Headphone Button Plugin "Play/Pause" command seems to not execute.
any ideas?
I love my V10. However, I use an aux cable in my car but it also connects to bluetooth. I use the aux cable because I listen mainly to a podcast through Podcast Addict and I CANNOT get so that the bluetooth opens PA by default. I am using MacroDroid which has really helped me achieve what I want. I want to plug the phone in and have PA play automatically. When I switch the source on the car stereo to Bluetooth, the music app starts playing. NOT what I want.
The biggest thing that I hate is that whenever the phone connects to the bluetooth it ALWAYS asks if I want to play through BT and Aux. It takes a second to dismiss the notification but who decided that I don't have control to tell my device that I don't prefer this and to not ask me again? Every other pop up can be dismissed with a "Don't show again". Has anyone figured out how to get rid of this or am I the only one who is bothered by it?
