Is there a way to enable lock screen audio controls with the SIII? None of my audio apps are showing them and I can't find a setting to turn it on/off.

I have been looking for this as well. It would be nice if there was a way to do it with google music.
they aren't there by default? I hadn't done anything special with my phone and they showed up. Try installing apollo music player? That's what I use now and it shows up on the lockscreen. The default player showed up before that though.
I think it depends on the lock screen you're using - try different one (or compare notes). Or you can use widgetlocker, which works great.
If you use the. Default slide lock screen ..then when you have music playing you can slide down from the top and both Google music and stock player have controls there.

Anyone tried this app yet? It seems to be able to do... um... everything?! Ha! I am interested to see what custom profiles and tasks people have set up in theirs!

You can download a 14-day trial from the developers website:

(it is £3.99 in the market for the full version)
Wow, I would have normally glazed right over this. For some reason I read the articles and this is pretty cool. I started thinking of a bunch of uses for it. I bought it outright. Thanks for the post, moonrock!
Welcome!
I noticed in the wiki or forum (somewhere!) that they were able to set up a profile that remapped the camera button -- I am wondering if this can be used to remap the power button while the camera app is open, maybe?
So I haven't had much time to play with Tasker, but the two scripts I have currently running:
* Silence from 11pm > 8am, simple, but it replaced the other 'profiles' type apps
* Disable screen rotation when in the Kindle app, for whatever reason this isn't an option in the Kindle app itself.
I have it set to turn on my Bluetooth when plugged in and off when unplugged works great!

Fantastic! I need to set up a (again, simple!) task that will turn on bluetooth in the times that I am always in my car (commute to work and home, same time every day) which won't be difficult.
I have Locale already, but this may replace it (gotta love paying for apps to find out another one does 10000x more things! oops!) I've had Locale since first getting my G1 though, so it's gotten plenty of use.
So glad you posted about this app... its amazing..

I have a couple tasks set up. First, I have gps automatically turn on and off when entering and exiting google maps. I also have one that lets me pick input style when I go into or leave remotedroid (swype's backspace doesn't work in it). And I have a couple apps that like to hang around after I close them, so I set them to be killed upon closing.
All in all it's a great app, well worth the $6.

Also worth noting is that it is £3.49 from the developer directly (paypal, via his website) and a larger % goes direct to him that way.
I have it setup for text to speech on SMS messages when my phone connects to my cars bluetooth.
I am trying to find a way to let my replay to said SMS with the voice to text feature or just ignore it. Anyone have any idea how to accomplish that?
Also think it would be cool to have it change my wallpaper based on the weather conditions in my area, but Im not sure how to go about doing that either.

Beautiful Widgets (paid app, couple bucks) and the (free) Beautiful Live Wallpaper. Uses the weather widget to make the wallpaper match the weather
Tasks that I've set up so far:
Silent / dim screen / timeout / alarm volume 7 while I am asleep (timed task)
Vibrate / auto brightness / timeout (slightly longer) while at work (timed task)
Bluetooth on while in my car (timed task -- specificlly during the hours of my work commute)
Load Vlingo when Bluetooth connects, Kill Vlingo when BT disconnects
GPS on when Maps, Navigation and Foursquare are opened
Display timeout (1hr) and brightness (max) when USB plugged in (for when i am in my car, typically listening to music and/or have vlingo up on the screen, annoying (and worthless) for the display to timeout if vlingo is supposed to be a one-touch process!)
Anyway of exporting a profile then importing it so some of the more advanced useres can create some and we can tweak them ?
Edit: Having hard time getting them to do what i want .
Probably, but I am not entirely sure how... lol
My initial use:
As previously mentioned on this board the bluetooth streaming volume is not the loudest, so I always end up turning up the volume for bluetooth. Then when I plugin my headphones I destroy my eardrums.
So I setup a task that when I connect to my bluetooth car stereo, it automatically sets the volume to max and turns off wifi for good measure.
I have another task that when I plugin headphones, it sets the volume to 60% and opens the doubletwist music player.
Finally I setup the standard battery task so that when my battery gets to 20% it turns of all the GPS, wifi, and bluetooth radios, as well as dimming my screen.

Ah, I keep meaning to setup the low battery task as well!
I have two keyboards i really like in 2 different orientations.
Droid X keyboard:
its sweet autocorrections and large real estate makes it ideal for two thumb typing in landscape
swype:
slower than droid X keyboard in landscape, but in portrait, this is possibly the fastest/most accurate keyboard around.
I tried to set it up so that i could change my keyboards depending on the orientation, but i could not figure it out
im also for an app that turns your screen off with a timer (in the background). and have that work when you turn your screen downward./
any with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone know how to make it so that the Incall volume goes up to max on the connect of the phone call? I cant seem to find it in the settings meeting seems to only answer on 3/4 volume. Thought Tasker might be able to .
This app is awesome. I only got a few tasks setup but one nice one is turning the screen timeout to 23hr when I open the web browser and back to 30 secs when I exit.

To export a profile tap the context (left) icon <profile<export. To import just open the file with Tasker as the chosen program I think. lots of premade tasks on the Tasker wiki. (it won't let me post a link)

1.TRY ACT1 VIDEO PLAYER....it's free, it's light weight and it's good for light videos...well synchronized audio-video too
2.get Uber Music..it has lockscreen replacement with a widget, volume rocker control for previous/next song when the screen is off...there is headset control too and the UI is awesome (get "metro skin" and"clear widgets" skin also)
3. finally, as mentioned b4 by kormatoes, use drocap2 in froyo builds and u have an integrated screenshot app in MiniCM 7
hope i helped
if i helped you, kindly press the "THNAKS" button
I prefer MoboPlayer for videos.
Market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil
Drocap2 for screenshots.

Was using this in the stock 2.1 ROM. Now I have installed MiniCM7 Pro - v6 Final (GingerBread 2.3.5) ROM and use the screenshot app that comes with it (long press power key - menu)
Is there a way to lock the screen (disable touch) while viewing saw a movie on the tab? This way if i move the tab the movie continues to play in full screen mode and nothing responds to my touches on the tab. I figure some form of power button enable/disable option would work.
thanks in advance.
I've never seen this option put in any power button settings before, but its something to look into.
Mobo player have an option to lock the screen(using menu button) while watching videos.

Thanks...unfortunately this is mainly because I stream allot. So it must be able to control the hardware itself not just the app.

Hi guys, I got my sgs3 within the first 1/2 hour of its official launch and I had been playing around with for the past few hours.
Does anyone notice that the screen automatically dim when watching a video on the stock player? I have already eat the brightness setting to max under manual in the display settings. The stock player has no options or settings to disable auto brightness. Is there any way to work around this?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
yes where the screen brightness setting is in settings theres another setting below which says auto adjust backlight power or something untick that

I don't think I have that. =[ I'm on stock 4.0.4 ICS Rom.

Same problem here. Tried that same setting too doesnt help..
The video player has a separate setting for brightness. Go to setting from within the video player to change it.
I did something silly on my SSGII - the controls for brightness in the settings menu were extremely sluggish, so I managed to disable auto-brightness and set it to 0 - this somehow now also disables all input buttons, so as soon as playback starts, the display goes black.
I can only get control back by pushing the powerbutton twice (to 'turn off display' and 'turn on display' again), slide the lockscreen out of the way and as quickly as possible push the back-button before the display goes black again..
This thread is the closest I've been able to locate with respect to the stock player in the stock ROM on a Samsung.
Would anyone know if there's a settings-file somewhere I can edit or delete to get my player back?
Samsung Galaxy SII - ICS 4.0.3 kernel 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913

Has anyone tried the different floating players?
I was using Super Player because it was free, but recently purchased Floating Player Beta. They both have the same issue, when playing a video in the window (or paused) then lock the screen then unlock the tablet reboots. I'm using .28 stock rom with SIO installed.
Anyone else?
EDIT:
Sorry, it's called Floating Player Beta. Not Pop-up Player Beta.
I'm using Virtuous Prime rom. I can confirm I've replicated your issue with Super Video.
One solution i've found is to go to Super Video settings > Player Settings > Enable Keep Play (Do not pause video playback when screen is turned off).
This will prevent your Prime from screen locking, so pressing the power/lock button merely turns off the screen (pressing the power/lock button again turns the screen back on without having to enter an unlock pattern). Of course a side effect is the video's playback (including audio) continues playing even while the screen is off.
Well at least I'm not going crazy. I'm guess it does as well with Stick It. I've sent logcat to Floating Player Beta, as they responded to my comments. Hopefully we'll find a solution. I have no idea what's causing it. SW Codec does not have the issue.

i don't know about you
but for me the tablet will restart like that if you do the same thing with reg video players....
so i don't think its the floating player thing as it maybe the prime's problem
