Hi, Wizards:
I have a Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 running Overcome 3.3.1. On occasion, when all else seems quiet, the device will suddenly decide to play the /system/media/audio/notifications/12_Tweeters.ogg sound file (sounds something like a bird chirp), and I would like to find the application that causes this sound file to be played. I ran the Log Collector app (v1.1.0) and poured through its output, and that is how I determined which file is being played,
In the latest instance, the log shows:
09-06 08:40:24.230 I/MediaPlayer( 306): The actual path is:/system/media/audio/notifications/12_Tweeters.ogg.
Before that, I can see references to (306) like "KeyguardViewMediator" in the same second. In fact, there are hundreds of references to 306 within parentheses in the log, mostly involving Sensors and PowerManagerService BatteryService. But I don't see a way to trace back to the originator. (Frankly, I also don't have any indication that the '306' is important.)
How would I go about finding the reason that MediaPlayer was kicked off in the first place? (My goal is to find the application that suddenly decides to play this sound file, and to understand why it does so. After all, I'm being notified of something, right? Wouldn't it be swell to understand the reason for the notification, instead of just "Hey!" ?)
I've searched for general information on how to figure out what the Log is trying to tell me, but to no avail for something like this. Is there enough information in the typical Log Collector output to determine this information? If so, where can I read up on how to trace this? If not, then what might I do to trap/identify this?
I appreciate any pointers you may have on this.

Log Collector should give you enough information to solve the problem. I suppose one simple and quick solution you could try is go into /system/media/audio/notifications/12_Tweeters.ogg and just delete the file. If you delete the file, then when it wants to play that sound it won't be able to because it doesn't exist, and then it shouldn't bother you anymore.

That's encouraging. Sorry I wasn't clear. Where might I find out how to read the log in such a way?

Hmmm... to me, that sounds like "If the fire alarm bothers you, just remove the battery." I do appreciate your reply, but that doesn't that sound to me like a good idea since I don't know the cause... I do welcome advice regarding figuring out that cause.
I had a problem with audios starting to play randomly. Googling led to many possible causes.
The only one I remember is the fix that worked for me - simply installing and running once a program available free from the market called DisableAutoPlay.
It disables the feature where plugging headphones in causes auto-playing. Mind you I wasn't doing anything with headphones when my music started randomly, but apparently there can be some intermittent hardware malfunction that makes the phone think you are plugging headphones in (perhaps limited to Samsung phones like mine IIRC... I have an Infuse).

Thanks. I will keep that in mind if the time comes that I need to take such action.
I'm sorry I'm apparently expressing my intent so poorly. My goal, to be clear, is to find out WHY the alarm is sounding, not to prevent it. (I reserve the right to want to prevent it in the future, but right now the point remains.)
I will try to track down the author(s) of Log Collector and see where that leads me. If I find out anything useful, I will post back here.

Id also look into using logcat to try and solve your problem take a look at this guide to reading and writing logcat files.

Hi,
I've been reading the forum for about a month, and have a question about the feasibility of something (or where to get it if its already been developed). I have a T-mobile PPC/PE and want to be able to play sounds while on a phone conversation (i.e. play an MP3 so both parties on the phone can hear it). options to allow it to play only to user, only to caller, or both would be nice, but so far I haven't even seen the issue addressed anywhere (I'm probably going to regret saying that - the question has probably come up before and my searches just didn't use the right terms).
So does a program exist that can do this? Is it possible to do?
Thanks,
Jon.
Just checked, and it does indeed appear that you can't make the PDA produce any sounds while in call. The PDA can record, because the call recording function wouldn't work otherwise.
No clue how to solve this.
It's an app that uses audio frequencies that are supposed to have an effect on the neural brain waves in order to achieve certain states. To reduce headaches, to achieve deeper meditation, to induce deep sleep and mainly in recent time to achieve the state as the drugs do. To get high as after a splif or feel the rush of an X and even to feel drunk and so on and on.
So is there an android version of it? I've been searching forums and sites, googled it forever and found nothing.
Thanx in advance.
You know it's a scam, right?

I thought so yeah.
However , even the uselessest (let's presume that's a legit word) app could at one moment have been found on my device even only to be ran once and then uninstalled for good. If you know what I mean
yeah those things are rubbish. you could always play the idoser mp3s on your android phone though
Rubbish to an extent, those noises do screw with my head. Not pleasantly and nothing like the description claims.
I do remember seeing some apps for brainwave entrainment and such. The idoser site says to use the mp3 files on android and such
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I have been able to find the latest version of this program, and it has some of the doses available. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to unlock all the other doses.
the obb file has all the mp3 files, and the apk file, if chabged into zip, will have lots of information, maybe the information necessary to change to have all doses unlocked is in there, but I can't find which file and what to change.
I would be pleased if someone found out how to unlock the doses and share it.
;D

Okay, I know it's been posted in 2013 but frick it maybe you still seek for an answer
I just downloaded "Ultimate I-Doser Pack v4 by Jameth" on pc then I plugged my phone into my Computer and pasted there all M4A files
The Doses won't be in IDoser app but in normal Music player
Hope you will find it useful
I've been searching the web for a couple of days, without finding any real solution to the problem. From September 2011, Google Maps decided to lump together its volume control with media apps, that used to be separated. I found a huge thread on googleproducts forums, titled "Why is the Google Navigator Volume No Longer Separate - But Now Linked with Media Volume?" where I see that things have never changed, nor Google acknowledged this being a problem.
Now, at the beginning I was confident that a simple solution existed for a rooted phone (Note 3 9005 for me) but, alas, I can't seem to find anything. Am I missing something?
Thank you.
PS
Not able to link the discussion mentioned above, too few messages for me, still.
I suppose there could be two ways to handle this. One would be to have a "per app" volume setting, through some clever Xposed module. The other a "simpler" (don't have a clue) hack on Google Maps itself. I just find strange that there's so little "literature" around, regarding this, as it's a really annoying problem, once it manifests itself in the car.

Bump. Is this the wrong section, maybe?
Sorry, I'm brand new to the forums and they confuse me, so I hope this is somewhat the right section to be posting on.
I know nothing about making apps and need help with something. In a nutshell, I just got a new car (Escape) and I has the Sync 3 system in it and it sucks, reeeeeeaaaalllly bad. It is IMPOSSIBLE to watch videos on it. There is at least a 2000ms audio delay.
I have done a lot of troubleshooting (I'm actually an audio engineer) and I have narrowed it down to the problem being the Sync 3 system.
I need someone to make me a very simple app that can introduce and take away audio latency. Say give or take 5000ms in either direction, so I can compensate. Ford has no intention of updating their Sync 3 system to correct the sync problem.
Is this possible? I will make a donation to a paypal for the work needed (If any).
I have searched quite a bit for an app that can do something so simple and I can't believe that I haven't found one at all. I have had zero luck finding one.
Thanks.

Hello.
I believe you need a simple android program that can view video and synchronize audio with video. MX Player is one of the most used video apps that has the feature you asked. See attachment. It can make audio to go over or before video, from 0.01 seconds up to infinity, with 0.01 second accuracy. It is available both free and paid in playstore.
If I understood you wrong, then please post in Q&A forum (questions and answers), here. You will have more chance to get a response there.
Good luck
Looking for an app that allows me to easily switch from Bluetooth to phone speaker for videos and such. Lg had a feature built in on the notification panel that allowed me to quickly switch between connected BT devices and phone speaker for audio. I haven't found anything like that on this phone. I have to completely turn off my bluetooth if I want to show a video to somebody really quick. Very frustrating
Please delete thread. After much searching I found it.
Can you share the app details?
Sounds like an interesting use case.
Thanks

Dude. If you find a solution to a problem you've asked about post it instead of just saying you fixed it. That way you might aid others that experience the same issue

Dude, not a single person replied inquiring before I asked to have it deleted . All you have to do is go to the "now playing" tab on the notification panel, and select the speaker you want the audio to come out of.
