Vocally control mp3 player while on navigation - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
is there an app that allows that ? What I want to do is to control an mp3 player with voice while a navigation app is in foreground. I'm in my car with Route66 navigation app running, and would want to go to next track by saying "next".

There is some way but not exactly that which You want. There are siri-like appa that have their own media player. You press on button and say e.g. next track. The other way is a headset control (if You use bt headset). You can.programm oit, that for example long press on the button switches the song (in Your player). I haven't seen an app that listens all the time

I think your best bet is to use the headphone button. If Navigation was to say 'Take the NEXT left' then you can see why it would cause problems for you.

Thanks for your replies, I will look into the BT headset solution.

Per-App volume control

I often use my phone to listen to the bible and listen to other things. But i really want to be able to turn on some background music with low volume and turn up the voices of my bible app.
Is there any app put there that could allow me to do better mixing?

I am looking to solve a similar problem.. I often use google navigation and google play music at the same time while driving; i don't like the music extremely loud, but if i set the music at a reasonable volume, I often cannot hear the navigation voice prompts clearly.
Will the above app let me turn up just the navigation voice prompts without affecting the music that is playing in the background at the same time? I think that both are outputed on the media audio channel, so if the app is just changing the volume at the level of the media channel it probably wont work.
Any ideas / experience is appreciated..
Thanks!
App volume can manage only the media stream, actually is not possible to separate per app streams with app volume app ...

It'd be awesome if some developer could manage to add the app's icon and volume slider to the default android volume bar upon expanding it..
just use automateit or tasker...

Here's what worked for me.
VLC media player has an equalizer that allows you to lower the volume of a song. Play songs on that at a lower volume and then find another application that allows you to run a separate media track to play audio tapes at a higher volume (my Lyrics Mania app works for this).
I just downloaded an app that worked:
App Volume Manager (for Android)
It is a relatively new app. You set the start up volume for the different apps. I just started using it. There are two issues with using this app:
1. I think it is a 21 day trial
2. I havn't been able to change volume realtime using the app.
For me it works because I just set the start of volume to what I am looking for. It is made to set the start volume not the real time volume.
Could you please shared the play store link?
I cannot figure out to find it.
Thank you

I believe this is the app referred to above:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jappstudio.appvolumemanager&hl=en
..haven't had time to try it, but the description indicates the free version is limited to three applications, but can be unlocked for about a dollar.
with 'App Volume Control' you can choose the volume for each app
non of this propositions work for me, but i know it is possible because when i start soundcloud and after flytube then soundcloud volume is decreased over the flytube.
Hi,
I m looking for the same, did you find it?
Thanks
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am looking for the same thing. App Volume Control does not work for what the OP was asking for. What we want is something that will adjust volume settings per app under one main setting ie; Media, Ringtone, System etc. Example. I'm playing a game that requires sound on for certain things but also want to listen to Spotify while I play. Both use the Media setting. Is there an app that will adjust boths volume to ones desired levels. App Volume Control does not do this and even states it's not possible.
Dont think it can be done on android as of yet.
It all gets played through "media".
Example playing a podcast in background while playing a game, and you want the game volume lower.
On pc's one way around this is virtual cables and virtual mixers, so if someone was able to funnel each apps audio virtually (with ability to set each individually with a slider) before it gets sent to the "media" sound slider would be a great idea.
Having download Poweramp, because it allows you to play sound simultaneously with other music player, lower the sound of what you need to play using the equalizer function. That way, you have the main music player, playing what you want on a high sound and power amp playing music on a low sound.
SoundAssistant by Samsung lets you control the volume of app running at the same time I use it to have 2 things playing over each other. It works perfect!
I think it only works with galaxy phones though.
Wow achieved it Samsung Sound Assistant. Thanks.
I m shocked there is still not a solution for non galaxy devices.
in my use case I would also be happy with just muting one specific app while allowing the other to be controlled by the media stream. Anyone know if this is possible?

I'm looking for this too in other forum and got the answer that at this time Sound Assistant from Samsung just can do this thing.

[Q] ***Request*** Turn off Automatic Music Player when connected via BT

I use my Atrix BlueTooth in my Pick Up for all calls.When I switch the stereo to BT Audio the Atrix automatically starts Music Player. Is there a way to shut this off?

Just bypassed this in my Seat using Tasker - a media buttons grab on bluetooth connection and release on disconnection.
Monkey see, monkey do.

Thanks for the Reply, I looked up that app, " Tasker ". Looks like a sweet app for $6.50. But I dont need any of the other features it provides. I would like to know how to disable the Music Player Automatic Startup function without spending anything on an app to be honest.
Try Llama. It's basically tasker lite. And itself free!

No worries - I wasn't trying to push you to get the app, merely mentioned it in case you had it / could look up the functions I mentioned as a guide to finding your own fixes.

Thanks for the reply...Looks like Llama turns off bluetooth all together...unless I missed a setting somewhere.
Did you check the settings in the music app to see if you can override the headset? I think that's how its seeing your BT connector.

I did. There are no options for bluetooth whatsoever. All I see as far as options is:
audio effects>
Party Shuffle Off/On>
Shuffle all>

[Q] Headphone Jack for music, Bluetooth Speaker for Navigation at the same time?

Is it possible, to use my AUX cable to play music like I always do, but at the same time! Use a bluetooth mini speaker to make the Navigation Voice much easier to hear.
Any ideas?
Rooted, with customer Kernel and Rom.
Yes it is possible only thing is when the next turn comes up it will shut off the music for a few seconds while it finishes the navigation command that is given via voice

So...is this just automatic? How would the phone know to use the bluetooth speaker for just Audio Navigation voice?

[Q] Bluetooth Default Player

On my GS4, Samsung's player is my default bluetooth music app no matter what I've tried. There's no where I can find to erase the default preference and I'd really rather have google's app be my default so when I hit the activity button my my headset or car adapter, it will launch google. Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
Can't you just freeze/disable the Samsung app so it will default to what other program you have to play them? If that doesn't work then maybe your car is only compatible with the Samsung app.

I've disabled the Music app (that's the name of Samsung's app) It doesn't help. If the Google Music app is running, my blue tooth adapter in the car as well as my blue tooth headset have no problem controlling and using it. Just setting it as the default app to launch seems to be a mystery to me.

Maps voice volume issue with spotify

Hi all,
I ran into a very big issue with using maps navigation while listening to spotify (haven't tested other music apps). Basically, you set the voice navigation to full volume, and it resets back to its normal, low volume setting after making its first speech. It's impossible to hear over anything.
Any ideas??
