Hi,
To be honest, I don't expect to get an answer for this, but I guess it's still worth a try.
Setup & background:
I use an Android device (Galaxy S4), rooted, tasker running.
I like running and while I run, I
A: listen to Audiobooks through Amazon's Audible app.
B: use the Endomondo app.
Endomondo announces my pace, heart rate etc. every X km.
Problem:
When Endomondo is making the announcement, which takes about 20-30 seconds or so, the Audible app is muted but still keeps on playing. Which means that I miss about 30 seconds of the book every X km.
Question: Is there a way to make Audible pause when Endomondo makes these announcements?
Many thanks in advance.

So i'm a very big fan of streaming music, rather than taking up a ton of space with music files on my phone. As such, i installed the grooveshark app (i'm a fan, idk about anybody else) and for some reason it would not let me log in (yes i hav the pro account). Slightly frustrated i gave up and installed the pandora app, i'm not a hater, i just prefer to be able to hear a specific song when i want, and to be able to skip more than 6 songs... Well all would be good, except pandora will immediately skip to the next song when i turn the screen off, or if i put it in my pocket, or it will stay on the song after i turn the screen off, and in my pocket, and then randomly skip. To make matters worse, once it starts, it doesn't stop, it'll make it though about 10 seconds of a song and then either pause and unpause at random intervals (up to 3 minutes of being paused or so) and then return to playing, or continue skipping. Once it hits that 6 song skip limit, it shows the toast about how you can only skip 6 songs, and then it doesn't go away, there is always another toast ready after the first disappears as if it is trying to skip that song constantly...
Additionally: Slacker Radio fails to log in as well.
In case it matters, i'm using KaosFroyo v31. Same issues whether i'm on wifi or 3g. Not sure if it's something about the pandora app, or the rom i'm using, or just the fact that i'm root, and pandora doesn't like that.
Any help would be appreciated

Odd. Pandora works fine here. Have you tried another ROM? At least you can make custom ROM backups with the phone.
Nawh, havent tried another rom yet. Aside from the streaming music issue's i'm a big fan of KaosFroyo... i did find a setting in pandora about keeping the screen on even when you turn it off (has a warning that it will drain battery life, and came auto checked) so turned that off to some success, and then if i turned the phone face down, or pulled it by the headphones, or shook it too hard, it skipped songs...

it is strange that is on both 3g and WiFi, have you tried a different rom? try it on a 2.1 or 2.2 rom. All i can think of :/
Best of luck,

I use 3 different radio apps. Pandora, last.fm and slacker. I would recommend using slacker only for WiFi. As far as having problems running apps it could be Rom based problems. Try reflashing the Rom or use another Rom. Pandora also just recently had a update so see if you have the latest version.

Could this have something to do with Verizon's mass text about ours phone's ability to purchase copyright material? I thought it was only dealing with the NFL app but the could be forging as big a ban hammer as they can under the watchful eyes of the ffc

hello i have a nexus 5, i listen new music on my car using that phone, i would like to have an app that turns on the screen with the name of the artist-song im listening to...
for example if im listening to rancid-time bomb, i want the screen to tell me that for about 5 or 10 seconds.. then if another song starts then the screen should turn on and tell me that im listening to other artist other song.
do you know an app or xposed module that allows to do this?
are you an app developer than dares to create this kind of app?

I have something better then that so that you don't need to look away from the road.
1.)Grab this app Utter https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brandall.nutter Install it, Open it.
2.)A notification for it will now be at the top, Select it, It will greet you with some form of greeting, It will then beep prompting you to tell it what to do.
3.) Say to it "Announce Notifications" it will open accessibility options and tell you to enable accessibility for utter, enable it.
4.)Repeat step 2, And again tell it to "Announce Notifications" This time it will say that it will announce notifications.
5.)Open your music app, Play a song. Make sure your music player of choice has notifications, otherwise this won't work.
6.)lock the phone and the next time the song changes utter will announce it for you. For me personally it comes out as "A notification from Spotify saying: Crown (Album Version) Explicit - Jay Z"
To stop Utter from announcing repeat step 2 but this time tell it "Turn off notifications" Also utter will use the default system google voice which in my opinion is poopy, So i use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivona.tts.voicebeta.eng.gbr.amy It sounds more natural and it's just nicer. If you decide to use the voice i linked you need to set the phone to use it and make utter use it also in its settings. Utter WILL announce anything it receives, and i mean anything. It may be a good idea to disable notifications for most things while using this so that your music sessions in your car aren't interrupted much. Last but not least Utter is useful for tons of things just take a look at it's command list and you'll see, hope this is as helpful as i hope it may be. Cheers.
The utter method worked but I can't listen to it properly since the music is playing louder than the voice notification, I rather see the name of the screen is there a way?
notification of songs please
hello i have like one month trying to make my nexus 5 to wake up every beginning of song
telling me artist-song in my display
i don't want to listen a voice notification
only watch who is playing now..
i want an app similar to knock2 or dynamic notifications
that actual works for this thing i want
because knock2 and dynamic has worked for whatsapp and other apps
but is not working for ttpod music app
I have made many attempts to create a tasker project with a profile and a task to delay the sound by 3 seconds every time a window changes in Android Wear on my Huawei watch so that I can get audio feedback from the accessibility setting without having to hear the time every time the screen goes to the watch face. I know we can sideload Tasker apks on to our watches, and I have several on my watch right now that are useful, but for the life of me I can't figure out a profile project to get it to delay the sound, or prevent the time from being spoken constantly.. any ideas?
I was wondering if any of you guys share the same problem. When im on running exercise, while im stopping in the middle of my exercise usually im manually pausing my exercise. Since there is no auto pause feature.
After 1 or 2 pause it seems when im going to resume my exercise my gear fit returned to default main menu and i have to start exercise from the beginning. And when synced to s health. It recorded several exercise not single exercise. Are there any workaround for these problem?
Thanks...
Hello everyone,
I'm going to buy Verge but I have some doubts. I hope you will help me:
1. I know that in lite version You can't control music during active training. But what about "not lite" Verge version? Am I able swtich between training and music control? Or at first turn on music (mp3 on watch itself) and then start training?
2. Am I able to control Spotify app on smartphone?
Best regards,
Lukasz
1. Only if you use AV2P Bluetooth headphones, as latest Chinese firmware for Verge, there is no music control during activities like the one available for Pace/Stratos;
2. Yes, if you enable Music control in Amazfit Watch app and you keep the phone with you and connected to the watch, of course. But, again, you cannot control music this way during sports activities.
Verge isn't the best option for sports:
1. Battery life is shorter if compared to Pace/Stratos mainly due to AMOLED display, what also makes it harder to read outdoors during the day unless you use maximum brightness;
2. It is all plastic and IP68 (although I doubt it due to the openings for both mic and speaker);
3. Custom straps are hard to find because it does not use an standard format, although they have the quick-release mechanism.
Thx for reply.
Yes but I can play music before trening start, and this is OK for me (I got Verge since friday). I made 2 trainings and for now only drawback is brightness, it could be better. But I run at evening mostly.
I found some offers for straps on Ali, and I am wating for delivery.
Generaly I am realy happy. Verge is not perfect but if You consider price/value ratio it is best choise im my opinion.
What the heck, Huami? And I thought I was doing something wrong or overlooking something. Why would you not make music controllable on the Verge during an activity when it is possible on Stratos / Pace?? That's frustrating.
I got weird interrupts when playing music over BT while running with GPS on and using Polar BT HR band. Every 20 to 60 seconds the music has little pauses. This happens with MPow DS6 headphones. Has anyone else this?
